Chapter 221: Another Sixty Rings......

The archery preliminaries are not eliminated by athletes, it is only a qualifying competition, but it is still more important, because it is not only a qualifying event for individual events, but also a qualifying competition for team events. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Each archery team has three athletes, and the three athletes will compete together in the team competition, and the sum of the results of these three athletes in the preliminary round is the total team score.

The top four teams in the group will advance directly to the quarterfinals, and the next eight teams will play a knockout round first, with the rules of fifth against twelfth and sixth against eleventh.

Before the start of the preliminaries, Wang Wenlong specially told every athlete to play to the best of their best.

The results of the preliminaries often affect the mental state of the athletes in their individual events, and if the results in the preliminaries are worse, the opponents will be stronger, and the performance will be easily affected.

Shen Yang, Yongfujun and Zhang Haifeng listened carefully to Wang Wenlong's advice and received their own row numbers.

Shen Yang's rank number is 'thirteen'.

This means that he will be in the thirteenth appearance of the preliminaries, with a total of 64 athletes, and he is still relatively high in the ranking.

Yongfu Jun and Zhang Haifeng received the numbers of 'twenty-eight' and 'forty-six' respectively, and they appeared later.

The first of the three to come out will also be a little stressful.

However, Shen Yang was smiling all the time, Wang Wenlong was not too worried, in his opinion, Shen Yang was more mature and stable than himself, and there should be no problems in dealing with the game.

Sixty-four athletes were to qualify for the heats, which may sound like a lot of work, but the heats were carried out very quickly, with two athletes competing on one target.

When the first round of athletes' preliminaries was over, it was Shen Yang's turn to appear, he handed the number list to the referee, and then picked up the longbow and walked to his place in the competition.

He sat down next to him, took a sip of water, and then looked at the athletes in front of him.

It was a tall Russian player.

The Russian player's level is not bad, he shot six arrows very quickly, and the score was fifty-three rings, after he saw his results, he turned back to his seat to rest, smiled when he saw Shen Yang, and kindly reminded, "It's your turn." ”

"Thank you."

According to the referee's instructions, Shen Yang walked to the position with a bow.

The distance between the arrow target was seventy meters, and it seemed to be right in front of him, Shen Yang calmly pulled out an arrow, pulled it on the bowstring and aimed at the bull's-eye.

The first arrow is important!

Even after doing a lot of archery training, Shen Yang was not sure that the first arrow would hit the bull's-eye, but it was no surprise that he was still sure of the nine rings, he frowned slightly, closed his left eye, and aimed for about ten seconds before letting go of his fingers.

"Whoosh!"

With a soft sound, the arrow crossed the seventy-meter distance and plunged headlong into the target.

Then it's much easier.

Shen Yang continuously took out arrows from the quiver, and continuously opened his bow to shoot directly beyond the target, his movements were almost uninterrupted, but he looked calm and graceful halfway, and the confidence on his face was even more confident.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh......"

After firing five arrows in a row, Shen Xiang exhaled lightly, turned around and returned to his seat, and also smiled at the Russian player, "It's your turn." ”

The Russian player was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat skimmed English, "You came back a little early, and the results have not yet come out." ”

"Do you have to wait for the results?"

"Of course, you can not wait...... However, after the referee will confirm your score, I will not be able to go to the game. ”

At this time, the number card behind the arrow target shows Shen Yang's results, "yang-shen, China, 59,1", and the last number '1' indicates the number of times the player has competed, and the round number is one to indicate that only one round of archery has been performed.

The Russian player was a little surprised, "59 rings? Awesome! ”

"Thank you!"

Shen Yang smiled and thanked him, feeling a little regretful that the first arrow only hit the nine rings.

Then it was the turn of the Russians.

The Russian player, Boros, is also a very good athlete, and in the world ranking of archery, South Korea is ranked first, China is second, and Russia is third.

Boros, a world-class athlete and the best of the three Russian archers, will be hoping to make a breakthrough at the Athens Olympics and preferably beat South Korea to win the individual archery event.

Although it was only a preliminary qualifying round, it was precisely because he had to shoot 36 arrows in one round of the preliminaries, and 72 arrows in two rounds, that the overall strength level of the athletes was revealed.

Boros had just finished the first set of archery, and the second set was next.

He held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, carefully aiming at the crosshair.

"Whoosh!"

The first arrow, a steady red heart!

Although the referees don't confirm the results halfway, Boros is still very sure of his results.

Next comes the second arrow.

Poros's hand shook slightly, and the arrow was mediocre, but it was definitely within the nine rings.

Poros then fired the remaining four arrows in quick succession.

When the last arrow was shot, Boros breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled as he waited for the referee to confirm the result, and soon the number card showed the result, "Matry-Poloz, Russia, 58, 1".

Poros smiled with satisfaction.

Six arrows and fifty-seven rings are quite an excellent result.

Although Shen Yang's result just now is fifty-nine rings, it is impossible for any athlete to play so well every time, and the players in the preliminaries have to shoot twelve groups of arrows, which is a great challenge to physical fitness and energy.

Boros returned to his seat and made a 'please' gesture to Shen Yang.

Shen Yang smiled and picked up the bow, walked to the position, took out an arrow from the quiver, only made a simple aim, and within three seconds he let go of his finger.

"Whoosh!"

In the same position, Shen Yang had long remembered the feeling, he didn't need to do debugging at all, he didn't need to aim carefully, as long as he followed the feeling just now to shoot arrows, it was enough to ensure the results.

Shen Yang quickly shot six arrows, without making any adjustments halfway, and shot the six arrows of the second group in less than a minute, and then returned to his seat without even looking at the results.

"It's your turn again."

Shen Yang smiled and said to Boros.

Poros looked a little stunned, "Don't you care about the grades?" In his opinion, this Chinese player did not play seriously at all just now, picked up the arrow branch and shot out without a scope, and then did not even look at the results, even if the individual preliminaries will not be eliminated, but it will also be related to the team's point ranking, if the results are too poor, the points of the whole team will be pulled, the Chinese archery team may have one more round of competition, or even suffer an embarrassing elimination.

Shen Yang replied with a smile, "I'm quite confident in my crosshairs, if nothing else, it should be ......."

"One hundred and nineteen rings!? You just got the Sixty Rings? ”

Poros looked at the results on the number cards, and his mouth grew in surprise.

The players who were competing next to him also noticed Shen Yang's results, one hundred and nineteen rings could never be three sets of results, and it was terrible to only two groups to get one hundred and nineteen rings.

They couldn't help but look at it in amazement.

Even in the Olympic archery competition, it is not easy for the two groups to get 119 rings, and there is hardly a slight mistake allowed in the middle, and the requirements are too harsh.

Some viewers at the scene also noticed.

The vast majority of spectators can't understand the archery competition, they can only watch the results from a distance, but there are also 'professional' spectators who bring binoculars and look at the arrows on the target and the results on the number cards.

In many sports, there are very few differences between athletes, such as swimming, and the American is not necessarily good unless he or she is Phillips.

Archery events are different.

As long as the South Korean players can participate in the Olympic Games, they will be the world's top archers, and their status is almost equivalent to that of Chinese table tennis.

Both the Chinese and the Russian are very eye-catching.

Shen Yang and Poros a group of games, there are still more people who pay attention, China and Russia are both populous countries, there are more Chinese audiences and Russian audiences who come to Athens, they noticed the game between Shen Yang and Boros, and they all gave support, especially when they saw Shen Yang's two groups of results reached one hundred and nineteen rings, the shouts of support were even greater.

Poros began the third group of archery.

The preliminaries are for the players to qualify, there is no opponent to say, basically they are each other, but Poros still feels the pressure, the Chinese player scored 119 rings in two groups, and he played really well.

Not to mention that in official competitions, even in weekday training, it is difficult for him to get that kind of result.

Poros' third group score was 54 rings.

This time he couldn't laugh.

Shen Yang still had a smile on his face, his expression was very calm, and when Poros returned, he immediately got up and went to his own game.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh......"

After quickly shooting six arrows, Shen Yang returned directly to his seat.

This time, many people paid more attention to the results than himself, and when the results were displayed on the number cards, the audience and the players next to him all made incredible voices, "How is it possible?" ”

"Sixty rings again?"

"How did this Chinese player do it?"

"That's amazing!"

“……”

Shen Yang didn't seem to hear the voice in his ears, just looked at Poros with a smile, "It's your turn." ”

Boros looked at the number card with a surprised face, and then unconsciously brought a wry smile on his face, he took the initiative to shake hands with Shen Yang, "Look at the number card, your name is Shen?" You can call it that, right? I've never heard of such a great archer in Huaxia as you. But what I can be sure of is that my luck today was so bad that the first six groups actually went on with you! I don't know where to aim next for you......"
