Chapter 239: The Test Is Coming
After the game, Lu Wei held his knees with his hands, looked at the electronic screen, and waited for his results.
It was not difficult for him to run this shot, he followed Merritt in the first half of the race, and only overtook his opponent in the second half.
Merritt looked unhappy, looking at his expression a little unwilling. In his pre-race impression, Lu Wei may have encountered a bottleneck in the 400 meters, then switched to the project and found his feeling in the 100 meters.
Originally, he was still gloating, no matter how good Lu Wei ran, he only won the second place in the 100-meter final.
The results came out, Lu Wei's score was 43.91 seconds, and he became the only team member to break the 44-second mark in today's semifinals. This result made Merritt a little unhappy, why did he play so hard in the semi-finals, he almost tried his best.
Unexpectedly, this guy looked like he was on fire in the semifinals, and in his impression, Lu Wei's best result was like this.
Merritt walked to Lu Wei's side, patted it, said hello, and then turned around and walked towards the athlete's passage, not looking at Lu Wei's face at all at this moment.
Encountering an opponent like Lu Wei in the game made him the most uncomfortable, and if he wanted to win, he had to go all out. But there is really no need to fight hard in the semi-finals, and it is very uncomfortable to give up the first place at the last moment.
Since Lu Wei barely competed in the 400m in international events this year, Merritt could only live in his own world based on his previous memories.
The gods fought, but in the end, the others were stained.
The happiest people in this group are the British Ronnie and Sweden's Weissman, who were in a group with the two big guys in front of them, who were very depressed before the game, but they didn't expect that after the end of the three groups, they both scored around 44.60 seconds, and at the same time qualified for the finals.
Both of them happily shook hands with the other team members, but they didn't expect to have the opportunity to participate in the finals.
After Lu Wei saw the results, he also turned around and walked towards the athletes' area, this time he walked back almost to the cheers of the audience.
"Not bad! Look at that black dude! ”
Zhang Yuanteng walked up and shook hands with Lu Wei, and then looked in the direction of Merritt, who was still sullenly talking to his teammates.
"What's upset, the game is like this, if you have the strength, you won, if you don't have the ability, don't lose your temper!"
Lu Wei didn't look at Merritt from beginning to end, he always felt that this guy was very hypocritical.
After the men's 400m semi-finals, there were also women's 400m, 100m hurdles and men's 1500m finals, but there was no longer the atmosphere of Lu Wei's competition.
There was no event scheduled on the morning of August 20, and for the Chinese track and field team, the highlight of the evening was the women's hammer throw final and the men's 110m hurdles semifinals.
Zhang Wenxiu, who was aiming to impact the championship, led the first four shots, but he didn't expect to be surpassed by Belarusian team Miankova and Cuban player Moreno in the last two shots, and finally could only regretfully win a bronze medal.
Liu Feiren could only run at his own pace in the semifinals of the 110-meter hurdles, and finally finished fourth in the group with a time of 13.35 seconds, and finally entered the final.
For everyone, as long as Liu Feiren can still stand in the arena, as for the results, it really can't be forced at this time.
It's just that Feng Yong and Yu Wei have returned to the rhythm of never leaving their hands, and there are only the last four days left in the ten-day competition, and the total number of gold medals in the Chinese track and field team is still an embarrassing piece.
In this Olympic Games, the number of gold medals of the Chinese delegation is about to reach 40, and the United States team has been left far behind. It's just that the track and field team only has a pitiful gold medal in this major event, not to mention that compared with the number of gold medals in swimming, it is not even as good as many small events.
"Alas, should I communicate with the leader when I go back and let me be the head coach of the swimming team, at least I can get by on the face, haha!"
On the way back after the game, Feng Yong and Yu Wei joked.
"Okay, I think it's good in the track and field team, and there will definitely be gold medals in the next competitions. If you are in the swimming team, you can try to lose a gold medal in the diving competition, and you will be the negative teaching material for at least a year at the big and small meetings. ”
Yu Wei knew that Feng Yong was joking with him, but he answered very seriously.
"I saw Liu Ju today, and I briefly asked about the situation of the next game, and I didn't ask too hard about the results. I estimate that if there is no Lu Wei, we are now destined to have zero gold medals in the Olympic Games, and this result, just thinking about it is a gasp! ”
Feng Yong sighed that in recent years, the track and field team has lived a habit of a talented player supporting the gold medal index of the whole team in the world competitions.
"Yes, I used to rely on Liu Yangyu, but now there is a Lu Wei, I thought the situation could be opened up a little, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, these things cannot be said. However, this is also normal, competitive sports originally rely on star athletes to achieve results, and it is inevitable that injuries will affect performance. ”
"I looked at the schedule, and tomorrow Lu Wei will have a lot of races, going to the javelin qualification in the morning, and the 4*100m preliminaries and 400m finals in the evening. I see that he has been very busy these days, everyone else has played once or twice, he has appeared almost once or twice a day, plus today he has 2 days off, and tomorrow he will arrange it, let everyone have a snack, and worry about his logistics again. ”
After listening to Yu Wei's words, Feng Yong also quickly gave instructions. Now that Lu Wei has become the hope of the whole team winning medals and impacting the gold medal, resources must be tilted towards him.
After all, there are no results, and after the Olympics are over, it is difficult to give an explanation to the leaders above. If you want to apply for resources again in the future, I'm afraid it's not easy to speak.
Yu Wei immediately called his secretary and instructed Feng Yong's instructions to be conveyed and to complete the task with quality and quantity.
The men's sprint relay team was both nervous and excited, with five people in the relay team, none of whom had Olympic experience. Seeing that tomorrow's game is about to start, everyone looks impatient.
Shen Liang and Zhang Yuanteng also participated in individual competitions, and Hu Huo has been a spectator for six days since the start of the Olympic Games. As an athlete, he hasn't been on the pitch yet to feel the atmosphere of the game.
Like a spectator, I honestly watched the game in the stands for 6 days.
For him, the most important game was in the last few days, and it was really painful to see his teammates fighting on the field, like a nobody.
He looks forward to the game every day, and is afraid of the moment when it really comes, this psychology is very contradictory, but people are originally very contradictory creatures.
He thought that he was the only one who thought so, but he didn't expect that after communicating with Zhang Yuanteng and Shen Liang, these two people were in a similar mood to himself.
Although they still have a single event, they are very clear that the relay race is their only hope of winning a medal.
The real test is coming.
