Duke threw 97.21 meters in one shot, setting a new Asian record in the men's javelin and earning 15 bonus points. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Competition second, safety first.

For safety reasons, the javelin referee politely persuaded Du Ke to quit, 97.21 meters is enough to ensure that you advance to the men's javelin final, you give up the last two throws, the men's 200m semi-finals are about to start, it is recommended that you hurry up and prepare to run 200 meters.

"Okay, I'll give up on the last two attempts." Duke didn't want to embarrass the javelin referees, it wasn't easy for them to come out and eat.

Before participating in the 200m semi-finals, Du Ke kindly reminded the javelin referee: "When it is time for the men's javelin final, it is recommended that the IAAF clear the field and suspend other events." ”

Referee: "We've made an emergency deployment, and the other javelins have a range of up to 95 meters, and yours has an extended range of 105 meters. From the javelin throwing arc white line, 105 meters is an absolutely safe distance. ”

Doucle: "In case I ...... Or if someone else throws a javelin throw of more than 105 meters, it may be dangerous. ”

The referee smiled and shook his head: "You are too worried, the permanent world record in the javelin is only 104.8 meters." The javelin's center of gravity has now shifted forward by 4 centimeters, surpassing the permanent world record of 104.8 meters, which is almost a violation of the laws of physics and is impossible. ”

Du Ke said earnestly: "The geocentric theory used to be the law of eternal iron, but it was not overturned by the heliocentric theory. Safety comes first, Mr. Referee. ”

Referee: "The stadium built by the Brazilians is so big, what do you say?" If the length of the javelin drop area is extended to 110 meters, it will be extended to the runway! ”

Doucle shrugged: "Okay, I already reminded you...... After saying that, he returned to the rest area, changed into running shoes, and competed in the 200m semifinals.

The men's 200m semi-finals were divided into three groups, with the top two in each group and the remaining two fastest runners, a total of eight people advancing to the final.

Duke was placed in the first group, with former 400m Olympic champion Merritt and former Chelsea player Germili among the stronger opponents.

American veteran LaSean Merritt has been running 400 meters, and recently he switched to 200 meters and accidentally ran under 20 seconds, becoming a master in the side event.

Britain's Gemilli used to play for the Premier League tycoon Chelsea, and when Chelsea couldn't play the main team, Gemili switched to sprinting, and ran to the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, which is also a strange man.

Bang!

The first semi-finals of the men's 200m began.

After the start, Duke established a clear advantage in the corner, he let go of the last few tens of meters of the straight, and won the first place in the group in 19.82 seconds, and Merritt followed Doucle to run 19.94 seconds to win the second place in the group, and the two of them directly advanced to the men's 200m final. Premier League cold bench player Gemili ran 20.08 seconds to finish third in the group and still have hopes of progressing to the final.

Usain Bolt was extremely strong in the second group, crushing all his opponents in just 150 metres, with Bolt almost completing the final 50 metres in a walking fashion.

Even for a walk, Bolt ran the second-fastest time of the season in 19.78 seconds and advanced to the final without suspense. He is still very strong in the 200 meters.

De Grasser finished second in the second group in 19.90 seconds, and France's Lemaître was third in 20.01 seconds. Gatlin was also in the second group, and he only ran 20.13 seconds to finish fourth in the group, which was more dangerous.

After the third group of competitions, the list of qualified personnel for the men's 200m final was produced:

Usain Bolt 19.78 seconds, Duke 19.82 seconds, De Grasser 19.90 seconds, Merritt 19.94 seconds;

Lemait's 20.01 seconds, Edward's 20.07 seconds, Germiley's 20.08 seconds, Martina's 20.10 seconds.

The eight qualified for the 200m final.

Gatlin finished ninth overall in the semifinals in 20.13 seconds and missed out on the final.

Gatlin covered his face and squatted on the ground, he had no face to see people, he had been engaged in professional sprinting for so many years, but he couldn't outrun a Premier League substitute player Gemilli who was halfway home.

Duke squatted beside Gatlin and comforted, "Justin, if you want to open a little, you can definitely run until you are 40 years old." ”

Gatlin looked at Duke in frustration and complained: "I'm old, this is the Olympics, it's the world of young people." ”

As he spoke, Gatlin turned to Bortenunu not far away, "He's an old fellow, too, but he's better than me." ”

Duke looked at Bolt, and Bolt was looking at him, all in plain sight.

On August 18, the Rio Olympics entered the penultimate day of competition.

The Chinese delegation topped the gold medal list with 41 golds, the United States ranked second with 33 golds, the United Kingdom ranked third with 22 golds, and Russia, which played in Rio, temporarily ranked fourth in the gold medal table with 15 golds.

The international sports landscape has changed, and the former Big Four have become the current Sino-American duo competing for hegemony.

With four days left, it is almost impossible for Britain to catch up with the United States' 11 golds, let alone China's 19 golds.

But Britain is also the third in the world, they are at the top of the second group, and the down-and-out Russia is trying to survive in the cracks, and the total number of gold medals between Britain and Russia together is not as large as China's.

Du Ke is the biggest contributor to the Chinese delegation, there is no doubt about it, the data is here. He alone contributed 21 of the 41 gold medals of the Chinese delegation, and he can rank fourth in the gold medal table, behind only Great Britain.

Duke's greatest gratitude is probably swimming, and with his 14 swimming gold medals, he has been able to rank fifth in the gold medal list of all countries.

The Chinese diving team is still dreamy, they won 7 of the 8 diving golds, and almost completed the hegemony in Rio.

Swimming + diving, China has become the world's first water power, throwing off two streets in the United States and N streets in Britain, Russia and Australia.

But in track and field, it is difficult for Doucle alone to pull the United States down.

So far, the United States has won 9 gold medals in track and field, and they are still the strongest country in track and field overall.

Duke was so tired that he was in a wheelchair, and won four track and field gold medals in the meter, long jump, and high jump, but it was difficult to pose much threat to the U.S. track and field team.

Today, Duke will run two shots, one shot at noon for the 4x100m relay run preliminaries, and one shot for the 200m final in the evening. Tomorrow night is the relay final, the javelin final the night after tomorrow, and the mountain bike race during the day the day after tomorrow, with four days and four events left in Duke's journey in Rio.

At 12 noon, the men's 4x100m relay run preliminaries will begin, and the 16 teams will be divided into two groups to determine the 8 finals.

The Chinese relay team is in the same group as strong teams such as the United States, Canada, and France, and Caribbean countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Dominica.

Therefore, the Chinese team sent the strongest lineup of Du Ke, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian, and Zhang Peimeng to participate in the preliminaries, and their names are also in the order of the base. Du Ke will not run his all-time fourth baton in the preliminaries, and he appeared in the first position of the Chinese sprint relay team. (To be continued.) )
