Chapter 295: This is the Diamond League, this is the paradise of the strong
Mr. Yang continued to explain the men's 100-meter run preliminaries: "The Diamond League will set up separate diamond points, and the top three in a single event will get 4, 2, and 1 points respectively, and if there is a preliminaries and qualifying rounds, the diamond points of the top three in the final will be doubled to 8, 4, and 2 points. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After the end of the season, the person with the highest diamond points in each individual item can get a 4-carat diamond ring. ”
Du Ke's participation in the men's 100-meter run of the Diamond League attracted attention from all sides, and he was the first Chinese athlete to participate in the men's 100-meter run of the Diamond League as a top 20 athlete in the world. Zhang Peimeng participated in the men's 100-meter run of the Diamond League in Shanghai last year, when he was ranked 26th in the world. ”
"But I believe that Duke did not come to Doha to learn from experience, he refreshed his 100-meter run PB in March this year, from 9.95 seconds to 9.92 seconds, and then directly opened 9.90 seconds, running an astonishing time of 9.85 seconds, which is why Duke has attracted so much attention."
At this time, the host of the scene began to introduce the participants in the first group of the men's 100m preliminaries.
Mr. Yang introduced the runners at the same time: "The first lane is France's Vicott, 22 years old this year, he has black blood, the PB is 9.93 seconds, he can be regarded as the number one male sprinter in Europe at present. ”
"In lane 2 is South Africa's Himbine, who is younger, 21 years old, and he opened the 10-second mark this year, with a best time of 9.99 seconds."
"In the third lane, American Brumel, a 19-year-old American teenager is extremely talented, and the American media said that after five years, Bromel will dominate the men's sprint event."
"Number four, he is the former world record holder: Asafa Powell. Back in '05, Powell ran a world record of 9.77 seconds, and in 2013, Powell was banned for a full year, but don't underestimate the Jamaican veteran, he has the ability to turn on 10 seconds at any time. ”
"Lane 5, Qatar's Ogunod. He was the only one of the 16 competitors who didn't run under 10 seconds, and it seems that the preliminaries were randomly assigned lanes? Mr. Yang was a little puzzled by Ogunod's score in lane 5, and Duke ran this year's world best time of 9.85 seconds, and he was placed in the outermost lane 8.
Mr. Yang explained the mystery of the path to the TV audience: "The reason why the 4 and 5 passes are considered the most favorable passes is because these two courses are in the center, not far from the players of the rest of the passes, and it is more convenient to observe the situation of other passes. The farther the outer path, the more difficult it is to observe other paths, such as the 8th path. ”
"We don't evaluate the lane splits in the preliminaries, and it is understandable that the host players will get some convenience, and the number of lanes in the finals will be distributed according to the results of the preliminaries and semifinals, and the better the results in the preliminaries and semifinals, the more intermediate their lanes in the finals."
Ogunod is not currently ranked in the top 20 in the men's 100m, he is ranked 24th.
According to the rules that only those who rank in the top 20 in the world can sign up for the Diamond League, Ogunod would not have been eligible to participate in the Diamond League. But because he is the host player, and his PB is also 10.04 seconds, he was given a wild card, and if he only has a level of about 10.30 seconds, he can't take care of it.
At this time, the referee gave the signal to prepare, and the eight runners crouched down and prepared to start.
Duke turned his head and glanced to the left, Thompson, Collins, Ogunod, Powell, Bromell, Himbine, Wiecott, except for him, the other seven were all black athletes.
Gatlin is not in this group, but this group can also be called the group of death, except for Ogunod, who is slightly weaker, the other six have the ability to open 10 seconds, and the strongest should be Richard Thompson, the Trinidad and Tobago athlete has the ability to run under 9.90 seconds.
"It seems that this is a duel between masters." Facing a group of international sprinters, Duke was full of spirit and ready to face the battle.
Bang!
The game begins.
Du Ke started with the fastest reaction, he didn't dare to be careless, this is not an ordinary preliminaries, the overall level of this group of preliminaries, is definitely not inferior to the semifinals of the men's 100-meter run at the Olympic Games and the World Championships.
After 60 meters, Douc was in first place with a half-body advantage.
Mr. Yang explained excitedly: "Duke is in very good shape, the start and the run on the way are very good, the last ten meters, Duke began to release, there is no problem, Duke took the lead in hitting the line and won the first place in the group." ”
As he spoke, Mr. Yang smiled: "I seem to have an illusion, but this illusion is so real, Du Ke started to release it in the last ten meters, he put these opponents, look, who are these?" Asafa Powell, former world record holder. Richard Thompson, silver medallist in the men's 100m at the '08 Olympics. I repeatedly reminded myself that this is the Diamond League, it's the men's 100-meter race, not table tennis......"
Just like Mr. Yang's commentary, Du Ke led 90 meters, and in the last 10 meters, he slowed down and crossed the line, won the first place in the group, and advanced to the final.
In the case of being sure of qualifying, strong players will generally put it in the final stage, the most hanging is Usain Bolt, he dared to put it in the Olympic 100-meter running final, he did not do the line pressing action, patted his chest and crossed the line to win the 08 Olympic 100-meter running championship The picture has become a classic.
At this time, the results of the first group of preliminaries came out:
Duke, 9.90 sec (q).
Bromel, 9.92 seconds (q).
Thompson, 9.94 seconds (q).
Powell, 9.96 seconds (q).
Vicot, 9.97 seconds.
Himbine, 9.99 seconds.
Collins, 9.99 seconds.
Ogunod, 10.04 seconds.
A player with a Q after his name indicates advancement, and the top four in each group advance to the finals.
After seeing this group of results, Mr. Yang couldn't help but sigh: "The Diamond League is the Diamond League, and the overall level of this group of preliminaries is estimated to be higher than the Olympic men's 100-meter run semifinals. Bromell, who refreshed his PB, finished second in the group. At the top of the group is Duke with a time of 9.90 seconds, and it can be seen from Duke's form today that he has the strength to run under 9.90 seconds at any time. Ogunod finished bottom of the group despite running a time of 10.04 seconds, which equaled his own PB time. This is the Diamond League, and it's a playground for the strong. (To be continued.) )
