Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of the 100-Meter Flyers

On the 21st, the 12th Asian Athletics Championships officially opened. The schedule of this race is not much different from the Grand Prix Finals at the beginning of the month, so everyone is still getting used to it.

In the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries that morning, Guo Zizhao and Zhou Wei easily won the first place in their respective groups and successfully entered the semifinals. In the afternoon 110-meter hurdles, there was no suspense, and Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao also won the first place in the two groups.

Guo Zizhao also met his main opponent this time, Japan's sprinter Nobuji Asahara. Although everyone did not exert their strength in the preliminaries, everyone's results in the preliminaries were almost the same, Guo Zizhao 10.19 seconds, and Asahara's Xuanzhi 10.17 seconds. is not a national treasure sprinter of Japan, and the results of the preliminaries alone are comparable to the best results of the current Chinese team Zhou Wei.

In the men's 100m semifinals on the morning of the 22nd, Guo Zizhao met another Japanese athlete who participated this time, Kanhiro Uee. I'm sorry, Guo Zizhao really has no impression of this player, and he is probably a Japanese rookie.

Hey...... I'm sorry, but my favorite thing is to torture Japanese rookies...... Hey. Finally, with the addition of "strong junior stride running shoes", Guo Zizhao once again won the first place in the semifinals with a time of 10.08 seconds. This is the first time that Guo Zizhao has equaled the Asian record in an official international competition.

Nobuharu Asahara's performance this time was average, and he only finished second in the semifinals with a time of 10.15 seconds. Zhou Wei also successfully entered the final, ranking third with a time of 10.25 seconds.

After the results came out, Guo Zizhao's results really caused a sensation on the field. This time, Guo Zizhao beat Asahara's Xuanji to tie the Asian record, which made Japanese athletes feel a lot of pressure. The staff of the organizing committee also rushed over quickly and asked Guo Zizhao to go for a urine test immediately. Looking at these staff members with a thief-proof posture, Guo Zizhao also muttered angrily. Grandma's, didn't you win against your Japanese athletes...... I also dare to suspect that Lao Tzu used stimulants. When it comes to the finals, Lao Tzu will humiliate your athletes again! Hum......

Under the gaze of the staff's inferiority complex, Guo Zizhao happily finished urinating two glasses of urine. Seal it, sign it, and you're done.

In the 110 Milan semifinals in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao once again joined hands to enter the final with the top two results in the semifinals. The momentum of the Chinese team in the past two days has been very strong......

However, before the afternoon game was over, the sky above the track and field suddenly changed.

……

At around 3:30 p.m. on the 22nd, it suddenly began to rain heavily in Fukuoka. In an instant, the rain enveloped the entire stadium and the game was forced to stop. It wasn't until half an hour later, when the downpour turned into a drizzle, that the game was able to start again.

However, after such an interruption, the state of the athletes has also been affected differently. In addition, some of the competition venues became slippery due to rain, so most of the athletes did not perform well. Guo Zizhao was also secretly glad that his game had just ended. Otherwise, this time it will be drenched into soup. However, thinking that there would be a 100-meter final in the evening, Guo Zizhao scratched his head a little.

At this time, Song Ping, who went to the organizing committee to inquire about the news, came back, and his father hurriedly walked up when he saw it, "What is the situation?" What do you say over there? Dad also asked eagerly.

"It's not going to be good." Song Ping shook his head, "Lao Feng contacted the organizing committee just now, and the meteorological observatory over there in Fukuoka said that the rain would continue until tonight. It seems that Guo Zizhao's 100-meter final tonight will be held in the rain. ”

"What then? I've never practiced in the rain before, huh? When my father heard this, he suddenly had a sad face.

"It's fine!" Guo Zizhao immediately comforted, "Isn't it just a game in the rain, it's not a big deal." Everyone is affected, and I'm not the only one. Don't worry, old man, there should be no problem if I want to win the championship, but the results may be worse. ”

"Well, Guo Zizhao has some truth in what he said, but don't be careless. Other athletes have more experience than you and may have experience in the rain, so you may have to suffer a little bit this time. Song Ping also said with some concern, "However, you are still young, don't worry." When racing in the rain, you must pay attention, be sure to move your body, and don't get hurt. ”

Then, Song Ping introduced some simple experiences of competing in the rain to Guo Zizhao. Guo Zizhao also listened honestly and attentively. After all, I have no experience before, so I hope it can be used a little bit. In the end, Song Ping still advised, "Because the runway has been soaked in rain, it will be a little softer than usual." So be sure to pay attention to the force under your feet and don't get hurt. ”

"Well, okay, I'll be careful myself."

……

At this time, the atmosphere in the lounge of the Japanese team was also solemn.

Asahara, Xuanji, sat there expressionlessly, his face was also gloomy. I didn't expect that the Chinese player really tied the Asian record this time, didn't he use doping? How is that possible? Over the years, everyone knows the level of the Chinese track and field team, how can there be such a powerful character. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been ready to participate in this competition. As for the other Chinese player, his time was only more than 10.20 seconds, so there is no need to worry. However, this time Shangjiang Jun did not play well, although he also entered the finals, but at the level of this time, it is a bit difficult to win a medal.

"Coach. Is Guo Zizhao's urine test result out? Asahara, Xuanji, was a little anxious when he thought of this, and looked up and asked his coach.

"Nope! You forgot about this, it will take a few hours to come out. The Japanese coach also glanced at Asahara-kun worriedly, "Asahara-kun, don't be in such a hurry." Winning or losing for a moment doesn't matter. His semi-final results are better than yours, and that doesn't mean anything. When it's time for the finals, the two of you will compete together and try again. It's anyone's guess who wins or loses. ”

"Hmm...... Sorry, coach. It's me who's in a hurry. When Asahara, Xuanji also breathed a long sigh of relief and apologized to the coach.

"It's fine. Just now, news came from the meteorological observatory that this rain will not stop for a while. So, the final in the evening is going to be played in the rain. That's good news. You've had a lot of experience in the race over the years, and it's not like you've never competed in the rain, so you've definitely been less affected. So, rest assured, Aahara-kun. This time, God is on our side, and our great Japanese empire will definitely not lose! Although the Japanese coach shouted like this, he was silently thinking in his heart, even if he Guo Zizhao won the final, what would it be? Affected by the rain, the results are certainly not much better. Not to mention breaking the Asian record, huh......

。。。。。。

After dinner, Guo Zizhao rested for a while, and then slowly started to prepare in advance. The night after the rain is a little cooler, so prepare for the activity early to avoid muscle strain caused by insufficient activity at that time.

Feng Shuyong also walked over at this time, "Xiao Guo, don't worry, take your time." Be sure to move your body out of the way, don't get hurt. ”

"Don't worry, guide Feng. I'll take notice. ”

"Okay, after half an hour, let's go to the arena together. Once there, you can still move for about an hour. Be sure to keep warm and don't catch a cold. ”

"Okay, don't worry, the clothes and hot water are ready."

"That's good. Lao Song has a lot of experience, and I am relieved to have him. ”

Half an hour later, Guo Zizhao followed his father and Song Ping into the arena with the other athletes on the team. Dad was carrying a large sports bag for Guo Zizhao. There are not only several sets of Guo Zizhao's special competition uniforms, but also sports drinks and energy bars specially prepared by the team. According to Song Ping, when you go abroad to participate in competitions, you have to pay attention to everything. All food and drink must be uniformly distributed by the team. You can't eat outside, and if you accidentally eat the wrong thing and are found to contain contraband, you will have to carry a black pot for the rest of your life.

Moreover, Song Ping and his father also took turns to take care of this sports bag. It is necessary to keep the bag in hand at any time, and not let outsiders come into contact with Guo Zizhao's drinks and other imported things. After all, this is abroad, and it is not unheard of in other countries that athletes have been drugged and framed in the past.

looked at my father and Song Ping every time before the game, they were so cautious. Guo Zizhao also pondered, should he still recruit another assistant? is specifically responsible for such things, so that I can liberate my father and Coach Song Ping. Well...... I'm a multimillionaire anyway, so it's time to enjoy such treatment. Well, I'll take a closer look at it when I get back.

Guo Zizhao was active again in the athletes' activity room for nearly an hour, during which he also went out for 10 minutes of fitness training in the light rain.

Well...... It feels okay, but there is a headwind, and the rain hitting the face is also very uncomfortable. Even though I wear rain goggles, my vision will be affected a little. And this is if you don't accelerate yourself, you may feel even more uncomfortable if you accelerate to the maximum speed.

Back in the lounge, Guo Zizhao immediately changed into dry clothes. And dry your hair so that you don't catch a cold later. After Meimei took a sip of hot water, Guo Zizhao felt much more comfortable. Well...... After a short break, it's almost time to check in.

……

At 8 p.m., the men's 100m final started on time. Guo Zizhao, who had long been fully armed, put on rain goggles and stood on the starting line with confidence. There are a total of eight finalists, two players from China, two players from Japan, two Kazakh players, one Qatari player and one Malaysian player.

Guo Zizhao looked at his attributes, and after adding points, the "physical strength" is 92 and the "state value" is 93, which is good, plus his "strong primary stride running shoes", everything is ready, just wait for the start of the race!

Come on! Little Japan! Grandpa's broadsword has long been hungry and thirsty!
