Chapter 95: Counterattack on the side
Merritt, who usually looks unruly, seems a little flustered at this time, and to be honest, his self-confidence is not convincing, but more self-motivated.
It's true that he's the No. 2 athlete on the U.S. team in the 400m event, and it's not false that he's younger than Varina.
The embarrassing thing is that Varina is already the third fastest athlete in the history of the 400m, with a best time of 43.5 seconds before this World Championships, and Merritt can only barely get 44 seconds.
He is only two years younger than Varina, and if both of them can maintain their competitive form, they are completely members of the same era, so Merritt's self-confidence is more of a satisfaction and self-motivation under one person and above a hundred.
Once there is a player as strong as Lu Wei at the last moment, he is easy to panic.
Merritt strode forward desperately, his whole body shaking, this is a taboo in track and field, he can't be unaware, but he still can't control his body.
It's just that the current Merritt has completely disregarded his face and ignored the norms of running, looking extremely embarrassed.
Originally, with a gap of about 3 meters and a gap of 25 meters, Neiwei refused to be able to catch it back, but he was in a mess, and when he saw that he was still two steps away from crossing the finish line, Lu Wei's body suddenly appeared in front of Merritt and overtook him.
It feels a little late, it's too late to chase Varina now, but it's already an unexpected result.
When the final results came out, everyone exclaimed, Varina ran 43.45 seconds, and he set his own personal best in the final of the World Championships, which is really rare.
Lu Wei ran amazingly, and the acceleration of his future also had a great impact on the improvement of his performance.
Lu Wei's time of 43.77 seconds was thrown out by Varina by 3 meters, but he is now among the world's top 400 meters.
That's the equivalent of 10 seconds in the men's 100m.
Poor Lasean. Merritt clocked 43.96 seconds, barely breaking the 43 seconds.
Angelo. Taylor was hurt, and he was the biggest victim after Lu Wei's wild sprint at the last moments. Varina was still gold, Merritt went from silver to bronze, but there was a medal anyway.
It's not easy to get out of the medals......
If you want to participate in the World Series, the domestic selection competition is actually the most insurmountable barrier, and you finally broke out of the encirclement, but only won a 4th place. After adjusting for a moment, Taylor shook his head helplessly, fortunately he still had the 4*400m event to hug his thighs.
"It's crazy, it's unbelievable! The 19-year-old Lu Wei once again staged a stunner in the 400m final, and I don't need to repeat the scene just now. With this extreme sprint, Lu Wei broke the 400-meter world record held by Oman's Maleki, and improved his time by nearly 0.8 seconds, which is crazy! This moment is the glory of China, but also the glory of the whole Asia, congratulations to Lu Wei, congratulations to the Chinese track and field team for such amazing results in the men's 400m event, today is really unforgettable! ”
Lu Wei was still hilarious after running over the finish line, remembering that Merritt looked down on himself during the interview, and the excitement of revenge made him run all the way around the field, and after running for most of the lap, he had a bear hug with Liu Feiren, who was standing near the starting point of the 110-meter hurdles.
"May the spirit of the earth bless you!" After Lu Wei finished speaking, he continued to have fun along the runway, and there was a security guard on the road who wanted to stop him, but he was directly hit by Lu Wei and retreated two or three meters, and finally controlled his balance.
Liu Feiren stood in place with a confused expression: "What is the spirit of the earth?" Is it a earth panda? ”
When other security personnel saw this situation, they didn't dare to be hard, they got so much salary a month, what kind of hard work!
Halfway through, someone gave Lu Wei a Chinese flag, and Lu Wei draped it on his body.
After returning to the athletes' passage, Lu Wei did not choose to return to the area where Huaxia was located from the steps, but chose to step on the railing of the stands in two steps, and then opened his arms and shouted!
He was happy not because of his grades, but because he had found that state of enthusiasm again, and this feeling made him feel as if he had returned to his previous life.
The sensation is bloodthirsty, warm, and lightly cut.
"Lu Wei, congratulations, today you made history, are you happy?" Xia Yuena sacrificed her own god again.
Lu Weixin said that this person is really lacking in heart, since the first day of the game, his IQ has never been online, I was unhappy after running a lap just now, is it to express sad feelings?
"Today's result didn't matter, the important thing was that I found the feeling of running in the race. Also, it feels cool to slap Merritt and the Japanese media in the face today, let them continue to speculate in the corner, continue to find pleasure in cartoons, idiots! ”
Facing this reporter for the third time, Lu Wei has learned the way to face the media, you say yours, I say mine.
Then several questions from the gods were still answered by the gods, because the 110-meter hurdles final in which Liu Feiren participated was about to begin, and Xia Yuena was reluctant to prepare for the interview for the next competition.
"Last question, do you think Liu Yangyu can win the championship in today's 110m hurdles competition?"
"Liu Feiren will win!" Lu Wei clenched his fists and answered this question firmly.
After returning to the area where the track and field team was located, the people sitting there high-fived Lu Wei in turn, and the mood of the whole team suddenly became cheerful.
At dinner last night, everyone's mood was still very low, and inspired by Lu Wei, the whole team believed that Liu Feiren could rely on his strength to change his fate in the game.
In the game, Liu Feiren, who was in the 9th lane, still had a smiling expression today, but he felt that his eyes were very murderous.
In the final list, Robles, Trammell, and Liu Feiren all have the possibility of winning gold medals, and today's finale is about to start.
“@#%%¥!” The referee said a word as if he was holding something in his mouth, and all the team members stood on the starting gear.
“¥%#¥!” This time Lu Wei heard it, the word should be "set", why is it so difficult for the Japanese to say that people can understand English......
The random starting gun sounded, and the 8 participating athletes all used their best without reservation, and the shouts of the spectators immediately erupted.
The most disgusting part of the 9 is that it is easy to be disturbed by the audience during the game, and it is difficult to observe the position of all the opponents, but it can make the athletes focus on the game and not care about other things.
"The gun went off! Robles takes the lead! Liu Yangyu is in third place, he is catching up, Robles is down, and Trammell is fighting! Liu Feiren won! In Yang Li's almost crazy commentary, Liu Feiren won the 110-meter hurdles championship with a time of 12.95 seconds!
Liu Feiren had tears in his eyes, and the commentator couldn't cry, the pressure that everyone had accumulated before was finally released at this moment, and Director Sun hugged the other coaches while wiping his tears: "I said a long time ago, this year is the best year for me to practice, and no one can stop me." ”
