Chapter 107: The Second Day
The Grand Elder's summons was just a small episode of Xiao Ji's World Championships, and he knew very well where he should focus his attention. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first day of the competition ended like this, except for a few events such as the marathon to decide the gold medal, the other events are preliminaries, qualifiers, for the strength of the runners is just an appetizer, to adapt to the atmosphere and venue of the competition.
Don't be surprised that the competition will be fierce from the second day, and the competition will be fierce, and it will be a moment when countless athletes have been training hard for a long time, and the otherwise unknown players may suddenly show strong competitiveness.
Here, anything is possible.
Even if he is as strong as Xiao Ji, he doesn't dare to be careless, he must show all his strength.
Xiao Ji had a total of 3 shots on this day, and the schedule was very comfortable, after running the more difficult 400-meter preliminaries in the morning, he could rest for a whole afternoon, and in the evening he must be in a full state of blood, and he went all out to hit the semi-finals and finals of the 100-meter race.
The 23rd coincided with the weekend, and all office workers and students were free and came to watch the game, and the entire Bird's Nest was full.
CCTV broadcast the whole game live.
"What is about to start is the semi-finals of the men's 100 meters, my country's Xiao Ji and Su Bingtian all broke into the semi-finals, Zhang Peimeng's performance was not too ideal, and unfortunately he was eliminated in the preliminaries."
"This year, the 10-second barrier that has plagued our yellow population for ten years was finally broken, and Xiao Ji became the first member of the 10-second club in my country, followed by Su Bingtian. But so far, no yellow man has been able to appear on the track of the men's 100m final at the World Athletics Championships or the Olympic Games, and the two of them now have a chance to make history. Yang Jian turned his head to the guest seat next to him and said.
The guest of honor invited by CCTV this time was Liu Xiang, the legendary Chinese flyer who began to work as a commentator after retiring from the sport, like many athletes, and this was his debut.
He seemed quite suitable for this position, did not show a trace of stage fright and nervousness, kept smiling, and said: "If nothing else, Xiao Ji is stable in the finals, you know, he ran 9.88 in the preliminaries, ranking first in the overall score, a very amazing result, which is already able to compete for medals, as for Su Bingtian, he also has great hope if he plays his highest level." ”
"In my opinion, it's not a question of whether or not you can make history, it's a question of whether you can score one or two." Liu Xiang finally summed up humorously.
The audience in front of the TV was amused, Liu Xiang is still the same Liu Xiang, even if he retires, he still has a strong self-confidence, and that kind of infectious energy makes people always feel at ease with him.
The semi-finals are divided into 3 groups, the promotion rate of 3 into 1 is much lower than the probability of 7 into 3 in the preliminaries, extremely cruel, Su Bingtian's signing luck is not good, met Bolt, the big devil, if he is alone, he can compete for the second place in the group and advance directly, the problem is that there is also an American cutting-edge Bromer, he is also a guy who ran into 10 seconds in the preliminaries.
Su Bingtian was very worried about his promotion situation, and he had always been more cheerful, and his whole face was written with the words "worried".
Xiao Ji found out about his situation, and came to his side before the game started, he didn't say much, only "I'm waiting for you in the final".
Xiao Ji is in the first group, he will play before Su Bingtian, he knows that what Su Bingtian needs most at this time is a motivation.
Su Bingtian glanced up at Xiao Ji, replied "um", and slowly recovered his former demeanor, he knew very well how terrifying Xiao Ji's strength was, even if he was in the death group, and there were Powell and Guy, the two former world record holders, in the same group, he had no doubts about Xiao Ji at all.
When the time for the game came, Xiao Ji waved his hand to Su Bingtian in a chic manner, and walked out of the athlete's tunnel without looking back.
As soon as you enter the venue, you will hear deafening cheers, and the feeling of tens of thousands of compatriots cheering for you in unison is really beautiful.
Xiao Ji waved his hand to greet them and patted his chest hard, as if to say: This is my home field, my stage.
Guy glanced at Xiao Ji unhappily, this yellow-skinned guy looks quite arrogant, he has always been unruly, he will not tolerate this kind of provocation, wait and see how Lao Tzu abuses you.
Guy's old opponent, Powell, his personality is much calmer, and he glanced at Xiao Ji indifferently, the host player, this kind of treatment is normal, let's see the real chapter in the game.
Xiao Ji felt the sight of the two of them, and also found Guy's undisguised hostility, and calmly looked at Guy for a few seconds before smiling and preparing to warm up.
"I'm almost 30 years old, and I still have the same temper as when I was younger, and I don't know what kind of expression I will look like when I beat you with a run similar to yours."
It's not that he hates Guy, on the contrary, he admires him, and he just wants to laugh when he imagines Guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes showing a shocked expression.
As all the athletes stepped on the runner, the scene immediately fell silent, everyone held their breath, staring intently, less than 10 seconds of the race, for fear that they would miss many wonderful moments in the blink of an eye.
The gun rang out, Xiao Ji rushed out for the third time, he had absolute confidence in his strength, and he was conservative at the start, not bad for this time, in case he became the second in Daegu Bolt, it would be funny.
Guy's start was decent, Powell was much better, his starting ability was recognized as good, from the start to the acceleration on the way, the consistency and cohesion of the pace, and the ability to mobilize muscles, all reached the highest level in the world.
After 30 meters, Powell got out of the state of accumulation with his head down, straightened up, raised his head, and began to find a way to maintain his starting advantage, but was surprised to find that he was not running at the front, there was a red figure in front of him, and it was a certain distance.
He had never fought against Xiao Ji before, he only knew that his strength was quite strong and his acceleration was very good, he didn't know how good it was, but now he understood.
Guy also found out about the current situation, he didn't feel much about Powell leading him, he didn't know how many times the old rivals had played against him, and he basically didn't win at the start, so he was surprised that Xiao Ji actually ran at the front.
He wasn't too flustered at first, the yellow race was notoriously weak in the middle and late stages, and he was able to catch up slowly by maintaining a normal pace.
It's almost 70 meters, the finish line is close in sight, Guy found that he didn't close the distance at all, but it was far away, and then run like this, Xiao Ji first, Powell second, he can only be third, although most of his results can also enter the finals, but it is too embarrassing to advance with the best results, and it is not safe.
He took out all his housekeeping skills at this time, and sprinted with all his might, trying to make a lore.
I don't know if there was a lore Powell in the end, Guy and Powell rushed to the finish line almost at the same time, it is difficult to judge with the naked eye, anyway, there is no lore Xiao Ji, separated by more than one position.
