Chapter 167: A good start
Lu Wei found that many people disagreed that the United States is the world's track and field superpower, but when it comes to the field, everyone can't help but agree with this statement.
Last year's World Championships were both of a very high level, and this year only Hoffa has participated in the World Series consecutively, and at the beginning of the period, Lu Wei thought that Cantwell was a dark horse, because of his super performance to participate in this competition.
XXX, who won the bronze medal in the shot put at last year's World Championships, may not have chosen to participate in this event because of his training plan. In a major year, there are so many experts who choose to compete according to their own preparation plans, after all, these competitions are just a decoration compared to the Olympics.
His first throw dispelled Lu Wei's judgment of him before the game, although Wang Qiao also introduced him to this team member before the game, but Lu Wei didn't care at all, and he couldn't make a judgment without comparison, after all, there are too many parallel goods in this world.
Besides, even if he is strong, he can still kill him! The game can only be improvised.
He was followed by Poland's Majewski, who slowly made his way up the throwing arc and looked a little younger than he used to be, and it looks like he should have worked hard this winter.
Although he still has a big belly, he always seems to feel that this guy's confidence has increased a lot.
The flesh of his upper body held up the white shirt round, and the big thick legs under the red shorts had obvious muscular edges.
In the track race, Lu Wei's height and weight always look like a Hulk, but in the track race, his height is no longer an advantage, and his weight is the lightest among the eight athletes who entered the finals.
Not only did his teammates find it difficult to switch roles, but even Lu Wei sometimes found it difficult to transfer from the feeling of the previous game when the schedule was intensive.
Mayevsky, who is more than 2.01 meters tall, lifted the shot put high, and his right arm turned out to be an angular muscular outline.
"This is okay!" Lu Wei was also secretly surprised in his heart, you must know that shot put players are super fat, a fat man who weighs 150 kilograms can practice like this, you can think about how much effort he put into training.
Then Majewski spun up, this is even more powerful, last year's World Championships he used a sliding throwing stance, less than a year to change the position?
It may be that he had a knee injury last year and has never dared to use this posture to damage his knee, but judging from the knee pad on his leg, this possibility is very likely.
After all, it is impossible for such a move to be trained and mature in such a short period of time, and even Lu Wei feels that he is using brute force many times.
People who have been injured are always very concerned about the injured parts, so he should be in good shape now, but he still wears a knee pad on his knee.
His throwing rhythm this time was also very good, and the angle of his shot was also good, and when he saw the shot put fly out of 21 meters, the audience remembered warm applause.
However, the expression on Majewski's face still didn't want to change, he was so calm!
After a closer look, it turned out that Majewski had fouled, and Lu Wei saw that the referee in the infield raised the red flag.
Seeing the red flag in the referee's hand, the audience sighed. In the shot put, the technique is very complicated, and if you are not careful, you will easily get fouled.
In sixth place is Tinker Hofa, who was in unbeatable form last year, winning all seven competitions, including the World Athletics Championships. He gave Lu Wei the feeling that he could throw as far as he wanted.
He still shouted before throwing, followed by a deep breath, spinning, and throwing.
These movements are barely done in one go, but they seem to be a little sluggish compared to last year, and the shot put falls not far in front of the 20-meter line.
It seems that after winning the World Championships, this black kid has swelled up a bit. Last year, I can't find the spirit of seeing who destroys whom.
Hoffa shook his head and smiled, not knowing what he was chanting silently.
After waiting for so long and it was his turn, Lu Wei took the shot put and threw it back and forth, looking for a feeling for the last time before throwing. Of course, he also grabbed the shot put very tightly, and if he let go at this time, the referee would come up to record the results, which would be embarrassing.
"It's finally Lu Wei's turn, and the flowers I'm waiting for have bloomed!"
Shen Liang looked impatient in the audience, many sports enthusiasts are not interested in the field competition, the reason is that the athletes are the same one by one, and it is boring to watch a few people.
Only an expert can see the taste of such a game.
It is true that Shen Liang is an athlete of the national track and field team, but he usually doesn't really practice much in this event, and he doesn't like it.
When Lu Wei turned around, he felt as if the connection of his movements was smoother than in last year's competition, and this experience was not obvious during training. But when it comes to the game, after that kind of competition and anxious atmosphere, it will be obvious.
How much strength there is, the basic game play is at that level, and there are not many opportunities to play at a super level.
This time the throw was a little early, the throwing angle was a little far to the right, and the result was not bad, and it should be able to exceed 21 meters.
After the referee ran from a distance to the landing point, and then measured the length, it didn't take long for the big screen to show the result of Lu Wei's throw: 21.18 meters.
The audience immediately burst into applause, people with 21-meter strength are rare in the world, in Europe, many people have the experience of practicing track and field, and you can know the level of athletes by looking at the results.
Lu Wei's achievement was recognized by the audience, and many athletes in the Chinese athlete area got up and screamed.
"Well, it's not bad, the quality of the action is not low!"
Yu Wei's tightly knit brows at this time finally unraveled a little, since Lu Wei's 60-meter race ended, he has been sitting in the athletes' area today, and at this time he no longer wants to sit on the rostrum to watch the game.
Although the perspective over there is good, but there are all kinds of leaders and dignitaries around, and I have to endure it when I am excited, which is not happy.
Followed by Dutch player Ruger. Smith also threw 20.78m in his first throw, which is a good result.
Obviously, in an Olympic year, many athletes are well prepared, but some of the team members are not as good as last year.
The degree of effort in track and field training will be completely reflected in the competition, even if the team members with great advantages, once there is no training to ensure it, the speed of the decline in strength is not much worse than that of skydiving.
In the first round, Lu Wei temporarily ranked first with a score of 21.18 meters, 1 cm ahead of Cantwell. Mikniewicz, Ruger. Smith was very close to 21 meters and finished third and fourth. The other players have not yet entered the game, and the gap between the results and the top four players is still relatively large.
