Chapter 221: Momentum Like a Rainbow
After simply relaxing the muscles in the core, Lu Wei walked from the rest area to the stadium.
The moment he walked into the stadium from the athletes' tunnel, the sun shone on his face, just like the feeling of opening his eyes for the first time when he first came to this world.
For Lu Wei, the sunshine of this world means vitality and new life.
Lu Wei walked along the field towards the shot put competition venue, and at first everyone only paid attention to the situation of the athletes on the field. Slowly, someone began to spot Lu Wei, and then there were screams and cheers.
Slowly, sporadic cheers converged, and the audience suddenly burst into cheers. On the field, the athletes participating in the women's hammer throw all stopped to look for the source of applause, and they didn't find it for a long time, until Lu Wei's figure appeared on the big screen of the arena, and the audience cheered again, they continued to play with envious eyes.
The feeling of 90,000 spectators cheering for them in unison, they probably never thought about it in their lives, but this year they really saw this scene on the field.
At the exit of the athletes' passage, Zou Zhen, Jiang Jianjun and Wang Qiao all looked at this tall back, their eyes full of hope. Everyone has walked a lot with him, and the rest of the road can only be completed by himself.
"The hope of our first gold medal turned out to be a 20-year-old child, a hero out of a teenager!"
Jiang Jianjun looked at Lu Wei's distant figure, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Director Liu had already come to the arena, and while the game had not yet started, Director Liu shook hands with everyone one by one in the stadium, and then he sat on the rostrum with Cui Dayong, Feng Yong, and Yu Wei.
"Today's situation was not bad in all competitions, with three gold medals in weightlifting and judo, and a pity in swimming, where only silver medals were won in both events. There are two more gold medals tonight, in addition to the men's shot put, which is badminton. Li Yongbo wanted to invite me to watch the game, I thought about it or come over first, after all, today is the first gold medal point in our track and field event, and that tall young man is Lu Wei, right? ”
After getting Feng Yong's affirmative answer, Director Liu nodded: "I didn't expect to be so young!" It seems that the rejuvenation of your team in the past two years has been carried out very well! Lu Wei also entered the semi-finals in the 100m race today, this young man is really good, now it seems that there is a lot of cultivation and containment, let's watch the game first! ”
On the track in the distance, the 12 athletes who participated in the final were already standing in a row, waving to the audience one by one under the introduction of the radio host.
"Good evening, audience friends! Welcome back to athletics, where the men's shot put final is just around the corner. In the morning qualifying round, China's player Lu Wei entered the final in the evening with the first place in the qualifying round, from the overall performance, Lu Wei's other opponents generally appeared to be tighter when shooting, and only Poland's Majewski scored more than 21 meters, and the other team members did not exceed this distance. ”
Towards the start of the shot put competition, the broadcast of the game cuts back to the track and field field.
"Why did you cut back the face change after the team members were introduced, if you missed our son, it would be too amateurish!"
Lu's mother was very anxious when she saw that the athletes who had entered the finals had already been introduced, obviously not starting from scratch.
"Don't worry, you won't miss your son, there are too many changes in track and field, it's impossible to point the camera at a person!"
As soon as Lu's father finished speaking, a close-up of Lu Wei appeared on the TV screen.
"Audience friends, when you hear the reaction of the arena, you know that Lu Wei is being introduced, and it is obviously higher than the cheers of the other team members when their names appear! Lu Wei's score in the morning is 21.45 meters, if you want to win the championship in the competition in the evening, I'm afraid the results need to be better, but the road is step by step, let's wait and see this competition about the first gold in Chinese track and field! ”
As soon as commentator Yang Li's words were finished, the game turned to the women's hammer throw qualification field.
"Why is the game screen jumping around! I don't want people to watch the game well! ”
Seeing that the broadcast screen was transferred elsewhere, Lu's mother was not happy for a while.
This scene made Dad Lu almost squirt out the tea he had just drunk: "You think the TV station is run by your family!" There is a gap between two people throwing the shot put in the shot put, and some players are not strong enough to win the championship, so it is impossible to revolve around one person in the whole game! You're still watching too little of the game, haha! ”
At this time, the television camera turned back to the shot put field: "Audience friends, the first to appear is Belarusian Belov, who entered the final with his second throw of 20.48m in the morning competition. As the first player to play, we could tell from his expression that Berov was nervous. He started to slide, and he was a little anxious to shoot, and it could be seen that he was still very tight on his first pitch! ”
Although Belov's time was valid, he only threw 20.06m.
He was followed by Russia's Yushkov, who was worse than the first team member in the race, with only 19.67 seconds.
"It can be seen that the two players who have just come out are very nervous, and in such a high-level final, it is very rare to throw less than 20 meters in the men's competition!"
The host Yang Li lamented the abnormal performance of the players on the field.
After the first six athletes came out, the best time on the field was only 20.63m, and the first to appear was Nelson of the United States team.
"Audience friends, the seventh player in the men's shot put competition is the United States teammate Nelson, the United States team in this competition a total of three players in the final of the shot put competition. The American counterparts laughed and said that they had put the 'three insurances' on the shot put competition, and they saw how Nelson, who was the first to play, performed. ”
Nelson, a strong man with a height of more than 1.9 meters, was standing in the middle of the field with a flushed face, and it was clear from the preparation that he was not in a calm mood.
Sure enough, his first throw was too strong, and his right foot accidentally stepped on the upper edge of the baffle in the throwing area, according to the rules of the game, the athlete cannot touch the upper edge of the baffle in the process of throwing the shot put, as long as he touches it lightly, he will be judged to be a foul.
The nervousness spread like a contagion on the shot put field, and the next team members generally did not perform as well as they wanted.
Lu Wei's main opponent Hoffa fouled in the first throw, and Cantwell, who is in very strong form this year, only threw 20.39 meters in the first throw, which is indeed very different from their usual performance in the Grand Prix.
In the blink of an eye, there are already 10 players on the field, and now the top spot is Ukraine's Bilonog with only 20.63m.
Poland's Majewski threw 20.8m, and compared to the rest of the team, he played at his normal level.
"It's time for us to play Lu Wei, if he can have a good result in the first shot, according to today's situation, it is very likely to win the championship."
When Jiang Jianjun spoke, his eyes did not leave the arena at all, as if he was talking to himself.
After Lu Wei appeared, the audience immediately burst into high-decibel applause.
Until Lu Wei stood at the center of gravity of the throwing arc, the voices of the audience were not suppressed.
"Shh......h
After being reminded by the radio host, the scene finally fell silent.
Lu Wei was about to throw, he took a deep breath, and it could be seen that he was also nervous in such an atmosphere. Lu Wei put the lead ball on his neck, spun, shot, beautiful! Judging from the broadcast screen, this throw is a lot more than the 21-meter line, look at the situation of the infield referee, white flag, there is no problem, this shot is effective! ”
After Lu Wei made the first shot, Feng Yong in the stands let out a sigh of relief, and his body leaned forward just now and involuntarily leaned on the back of the seat. Today's competition is about whether Chinese track and field can have a gold medal in the account, Feng Yong almost stayed awake last night, and he was not confused until 5 o'clock in the morning.
The moment Lu Wei threw it just now, he felt like he had experienced the judgment of fate.
Fortunately, the verdict looks pretty good.
Soon, the electronic screen showed the results of Lu Wei's first throw.
"Beautiful, Lu Wei's first throw was 21.67m, more than 80 centimeters more than the second-place Majewski, which is an ideal start."
After the results of the first throw came out, the broadcast camera immediately switched to Lu Wei, who smiled and walked towards his rest area, as if enjoying the moment.
"Judging from Lu Wei's expression, his mentality is obviously much better than that of other team members, of course, the game has only been played for one round, and he needs to consolidate his results with better results!"
Just when Yang Li's voice was not over, the broadcast of the scene switched to the American player Cantwell. He tilted his head and clasped his hands around his head.
In such a tense situation, suddenly an opponent throws a high score, which is a big shock to the other players.
"Good start!"
Seeing Lu's mother's excited appearance, Lu's father said, and then picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. This time, he seemed to be much slower than usual in his cup, and although he was trying his best to suppress his mood, the control of his hands was still much worse than usual.
"According to the results of previous years, Lu Wei can win at least one medal for this throw, but now that the competition has only completed the first throw, we will definitely not be satisfied with a medal now, and I hope Lu Wei can continue to have a strong performance in the competition."
It can be heard from the voice that the narrator's tone became cheerful with Lu Wei's excellent first throw.
However, the overall result of the second round is even more dismal than that of the first round. Six of the top 10 players did not score for fouls.
Lu Wei's old opponent, Osaka World Championships champion Hoffa, scored only 19.81 meters in his second throw, and after his second throw, the broadcast camera followed him all the time.
When he got to his resting position, he slammed the sports bag on the ground, but the bag was not zipped, and the supplies in the bag were smashed all over the floor. This scene made the other team members around him feel even more depressed, and Hoffa sat in his chair, covering his face with his hands, and it was obvious that his emotions were out of control.
Soon it was Lu Wei's turn to play, and the only member of the 11 players in front of him was Canada's Dai Lan. Armstrong threw more than 21 meters, but it was only 21.04 meters, and there was still a gap of more than 60 centimeters between him and Lu Wei.
Cantwell's second throw was 20.98m, but it was clear that he still didn't find his rhythm today.
Lu Wei stood at the center of gravity of the throwing arc, he closed his eyes this time, and silently went through the action process in his heart. Then put the shot put on the chin, make a cushion, spin, change feet, and when the body is about to face the throwing area, suddenly exert force.
"Although this set of movements does not look very violent, the rhythm is very good, and the good result of the first throw gives Lu Wei a strong confidence."
Lu Wei's score in this throw was 21.96m, which was nearly 30 centimeters farther than the first throw.
"Lu Wei's second throw was better than the first throw, and he was really an athlete born for the competition. It's really rare to still play at your normal level in such a tense atmosphere. Maybe many players have the ability to exceed 21 meters when they train, but when it comes to the competition, I'm afraid it will have to be discounted. In the competition, the shrinkage of results will be more serious, and today's competition is the truest portrayal. ”
Yang Li's voice seemed uplifting, and listening to his tone, it didn't look like he was in a track and field competition with an extremely depressing atmosphere.
"Do you think this Nelson game will end in three fouls?"
Director Sun's words made everyone laugh, this sentence may be difficult to make people want to laugh under normal circumstances, but at this time it made everyone relax. When you relax, you will naturally feel happy and want to express your happiness.
Beside him, Liu Feiren sat in the area of the Huaxia track and field team: "No matter what other people's results are, as long as Lu Wei can play his best today, the championship will definitely not be left behind!" ”
It's still the rhythm of Liu Feiren.
In the third throw, everyone's situation has not improved, and among the first 11 players, only Poland's Majewski threw a score of 21.21m, temporarily ranking second.
After three rounds, only three team members scored more than 21 meters, and the American player Nelson fouled all three attempts, and did not have a valid score at the end of the game.
"Now the results of the first three rounds are basically over, and only Lu Wei is left with no throwing yet. According to Lu Wei's usual competition habits, he often fights hard for a good result in the third round of the competition, and he got such good results in the first two rounds a few years ago, let's see what kind of choice Lu Wei will have in the third round! ”
At this time, Lu Wei was already standing in the throwing arc, his expression was not as relaxed as in the first two rounds, and he looked like he was in a backward situation.
Judging from Lu Wei's expression, this round of throwing must be a go, if there are good results, today's championship competition is basically over, even if it is not spelled, the last three rounds of the game still have a steady and steady capital. Lu Wei began to spin, wow, the shot put has already been shot, and Lu Wei's action is too fast this time to try to throw...... Pretty! Lu Wei's throw exceeded easily more than 22 meters, and the distance exceeded by more than a little, and the infield referee raised the white flag, let's wait and see the results of Lu Wei's throw! ”
Less than a minute later, the electronic screen showed Lu Wei's third throw: 22.53m.
"Congratulations to Lu Wei, congratulations to the Chinese track and field team, although the competition is not over yet, but according to today's situation, the competition for the championship can basically be declared over. Lu Wei's results have also broken the national record, the Asian record, and the Olympic record, and since then Lu Wei has left his name in the history of the Olympic Games! At the age of 20, you have already broken the Olympic record, and the shot put field will be your sky for the next five years, and you can fly freely! ”
Under the narrator's explanation, which was already on the verge of getting out of control, Lu's mother wiped her tears of excitement.
"My son's grades are so good, why are you crying!"
Dad Lu didn't go to get the tea cup this time, he couldn't control his trembling hands a little.
The audience resounded with the warmest cheers since the start of the game, and on the rostrum, Feng Yong finally smiled. Jiang Jianjun and Wang Qiao gave a heavy high-five.
Ushering in such an excellent result in such a pre-game atmosphere, this moment is a wonderful moment for all the Chinese sports people in the audience.
