Chapter 69: Breaking the 38-second mark
Pleasant times are always short-lived, the sun is already high, the morning is about to pass, Xiao Ji must go back to the hotel for dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Saoirse expressed her understanding that this is the price that professional athletes must pay, leaving their numbers with each other, agreeing to see each other next time, and she will have the opportunity to come to watch Xiao Ji's game, and Xiao Ji also promised to watch the premiere of her movie.
On the way back, Liao Lisheng's gang asked Xiao Ji about his progress, and was severely reprimanded by Xiao Ji.
The light-hearted National Day holiday is over quickly, and the devil's schedule on October 2 is about to begin.
The organizing committee of the event adhered to the practice in the preliminaries, still starting with the women's 4x100 relay, then the men's 4x100 relay, then the men's 4x400 relay, and finally the women's 4x400 relay.
Xiao Ji's two games are very sad next to each other, running 4x100 at 6:50, and running 4x400 at 7:35, this time it is actually even worse, one is a group of finals, the interval is shorter, and the other is because of the football game, this time the final was scheduled to be held at 7 o'clock.
Now it's okay, Xiao Ji doesn't have to think about his physical condition, he can directly give up 4x400, and the schedule is completely collided.
Xiao Jidu is already a little used to it, and he can't remember how many times he has suffered losses in the schedule.
With an unhappy mood, Xiao Ji came to the position of the second baseman.
Before the game, the coaching staff discussed whether to replace Xiao Ji and Zhang Peimeng's sticks, after all, Xiao Ji is no longer a little faster than Zhang Peimeng. It's 0.1 seconds faster, a more obvious gap, you need to consider Xiao Ji's emotions, Zhang Peimeng also agreed, the strong are respected is the unchanging criterion on the sports field, but Xiao Ji rejected the kindness of the coaching staff, the battle change formation is a taboo in the relay game, Xiao Ji and their tacit understanding is not high, a mistake will be abandoned, this game is still according to the original plan, and then change the formation after the competition.
After the start of the race, Su Bingtian showed his strength as a third-place finisher in the 100 meters, leading all the way from the start, and handed over to Xiao Ji with a lead of more than 2 meters.
The skill of "cadence superman" showed its power for the first time, the level of 9.70 meters in 100 meters was too terrifying, the second player was originally the weakest in each team, and the most powerful one did not have a level of 10.20, a gap of more than half a second, and putting Xiao Ji here was simply bullying children.
Reflected on the track, Xiao Ji is quickly opening up the gap with other competitors with a visible gap, he can open up a gap of almost 1 meter every 1 second, and after 9 seconds, by the time he handed the stick to Xie Zhenye, the Chinese team already has a huge lead of more than 10 meters.
The Japanese are about to cry, they are the only team that can threaten the Chinese team, originally thought that the baton handover was smooth and could win the championship, with the end of Xiao Ji's baton, everything fell into vain, more than 10 meters away, this is in the face of Jamaica and the United States team will appear, this is called how to chase, the strength of the Chinese team in the last two sticks is not weak, and now we can only count on the Chinese team to make a mistake in the handover of the baton.
The curse of the Japanese did not succeed, Zhang Peimeng received the baton smoothly, he is now far ahead, he is not competing with his opponent, nor is he competing with the Asian record, he was only in the early 28 seconds when he received the baton, breaking the Asian record is already stable, he is really comparing with himself.
Nearly 1 second after Zhang Pei slammed into the line, the second-place Japanese team was late.
37.57, this is the result of the Chinese team, far completing the goal of breaking the 38 mark and the Asian record, and greatly improving the Asian record by more than 0.4 seconds.
It was a historic moment, and countless people were boiling over it, even the biggest rivals, Japan, who were applauding the Chinese team for breaking the 38-second barrier.
Such record-breaking moments in history must of course be recorded on camera.
When they arrived at the timer, people found a big problem, only Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Zhang Peimeng stood in front of the timer, but the number one hero Xiao Ji was nowhere to be found!
In the history of athletics, the first record-breaking group photo of a relay race with only three athletes was born.
Coach Yuan's representative Xiao Ji explained to the reporters that Xiao Ji could not come to participate in the group photo for an interview because he had to participate in a football match at 7 o'clock, and he was hurrying to the football field.
There was an uproar, because of the schedule, the record-breakers could not enjoy the international practice of taking pictures with the timer, which was also a precedent.
A series of strange things have happened in the Incheon Asian Games before, first the Japanese swimming star stole the camera of a Korean reporter, which is not to blame on the organizing committee, but then the volunteers chased the idol, making the scene a mess; There is a demonic wind on the badminton court, which seriously interferes with the fairness of the game; Salmonella bacteria were found in the lunch box, causing some players to go hungry for the race; The flame was extinguished for 12 minutes; It's all due to the organizing committee.
There are also a lot of complaints about the schedule, but because the incident is not serious enough, all of them have been forcibly suppressed by the sticks, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the organizing committee can no longer hide it.
The staff of the Asian Athletics Federation has been out of anger, the whole face is completely black, it was a great joy to break the record, or a large record, it is a great joy, but now it has been made by the organizing committee's schedule, but it has become a big scandal, which seriously affects his future, he said to the organizing committee personnel in a cold voice: "We will send someone to investigate immediately, I hope you can give me an explanation!" ā
The people of the organizing committee are already sweating, and they understand that this time is a big disaster, even if there are reasons for Xiao Ji to participate in football and track and field at the same time for an unprecedented time, but there are also reasons for their schedule.
As the host, they do have the right to adjust the schedule and take care of their own athletes, but they can only fine-tune, not arbitrarily change, for example, they can't arrange the 100-meter preliminaries, semi-finals and finals in a row, when they knew that Xiao Ji would participate in the two events of track and field and football, they did not make any adjustments, first let Xiao Ji be forced to give up the 200 meters and 400 meters, and tonight they arranged all the 3 games of Xiao Ji together, so that he had to rush to the football field after the 4x100 competition, Also give up the final of the 4x400.
When the track and field was bustling and chaotic, Xiao Ji had already hurriedly handed in the urine sample bottle and stepped on the helicopter, which was obtained by the coaching staff in contact with the Chinese Embassy in South Korea.
In the plane, Xiao Ji hurriedly changed his equipment, took off his running shoes and sprint clothes, and changed into football uniforms, shin guards, football socks and football boots, which is not easy, it is not as simple as ordinary people changing a set of clothes, some of these equipment are very tight, such as running shoes, and some have to be adjusted very well, such as shin guards, if they are not adjusted properly, they will feel very uncomfortable and affect the performance in the game.
