Chapter 578: The First Shot
Reporter: "Duke said that he will leave swimming for a period of time after the Rio Olympics, and it is uncertain when he will return. www.biquge.info As Du Ke's closest comrade-in-arms in the swimming team, what do you think of Sun Yang? β
Sun Yang: "He must have his reasons for doing this, and I understand and support Du Ke." After returning to China, I will practice a 100-self and strive to take over Du Ke's class as soon as possible, and the flame of revolution cannot be extinguished. That's all for swimming, but tonight I'm going to focus more on athletics. β
Sun Yang won two gold, one silver and one bronze swimming medals in Rio, and he was in a good mood and joked with reporters.
Reporter: "Then Sun Yang, you can predict Du Ke's track and field results tonight." β
Sun Yang: "The 100-meter trapeze battle must be very exciting, and of course I hope Du Ke wins. β
Reporter: "What kind of 100-meter result do you think Du Ke can run?" β
Sun Yang: "9.00 seconds is almost enough." β
The reporter's face was surprised: "It's too exaggerated!" β
Sun Yang thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a bit exaggerated, anyway, as long as Du Ke can win, I wish him good luck on behalf of the Chinese swimming team." β
It's 3:30 p.m. Rio time, and the interview between the reporter and Sun Yang takes place in an area of the spectator stands at the Havelange Stadium.
The swimming competition ended yesterday, and all members of the Chinese swimming team came to the Havelange Stadium to watch the track and field competition.
The women's 400m semi-finals, the women's triple jump final are underway in the stadium, and the men's event will be played a little later.
In the warm-up field outside the Havelange Stadium, Du Ke, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and other three people are warming up, and their warm-up event is a sprint within 80 meters.
It's not about sprinting with all your might, taking out fifty percent of your strength to run, looking for a feeling, pulling the ligaments apart, and stimulating the excitement of small muscle groups.
Three men from the Chinese track and field team advanced to the semifinals of the men's 100m at the Olympic Games, which is unprecedented.
But qualifying for the men's 100m final has become more difficult than ever, and no Asian athlete has ever made it to the final, including Duke, as he is competing in the Olympics for the first time.
After practicing a few rounds of sprints within the 80-meter paragraph, Du Ke, Su Bingtian, and Xie Zhenye sat on the ground to rest for a while.
"It's dangerous, it's really dangerous, and the semi-finals of the 100-meter run at the Olympics are more difficult to run than the finals." Su Bingtian said.
Xie Zhenye: "Brother Tian, it's as if you ran through the finals." β
Su Bingtian began to press his legs: "I haven't run, but I've seen it with my own eyes." Zhenye, let me tell you, if you can't run in 10 seconds, it's hard to get into the finals. "He competed in the semi-finals of the men's 100m run at the London Olympics and has Olympic experience.
Xie Zhenye wiped his sweat: "Then it's very difficult!" β
"If it's hard, you have to do it." Duke stood up, "Let's go, go in and get ready, check in right away." β
At a few minutes after 21 o'clock, the women's competition was over.
The host of the Havelange Stadium began to build momentum: "Next up is the men's 100m...... Semifinal! Our long-awaited 100m flyer battle is about to take place, and the semi-finals are sure to be exciting. Now in the men's 100m semi-finals group 1 ......"
The tens of thousands of spectators were very excited and thirsty, and the camera lenses of the cameramen were all aimed at the starting line of the 100-meter runway.
The men's 100m flyer is about to take place, which means that the Olympics will soon enter the highest stage.
The eight runners in the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals have already stood on their respective tracks, adjusting the position of the starting gear.
In the semi-finals, 2~9 lanes were opened, and the eight players in the first group were Gatlin, Vikaut, Met, Ashmid, Simby, Harvey, Blassy, and Xie Zhenye.
There are three groups in the semi-finals, and there is no such thing as a group of death, because each group is dead.
At 21 o'clock, a gunshot rang out, bang!
The first semi-finals of the men's 100-meter run began.
America's number one sprinter, Gatlin, was in good form, finishing first in his group in 9.90 seconds to qualify for the final.
France's number one sprinter, Vicotte, finished second in his group in 9.95 seconds, and he also qualified directly for the final.
The third Ivory Coast's Mite ran 9.97 seconds, and the fourth South Africa's Simbi ran 9.98 seconds, and they ran within 10 seconds, and it is difficult to say whether they can enter the men's 100m final, and they need to wait for the results of the 2nd and 3rd groups to come out.
Xie Zhenye, who ran a personal best of 10.08 seconds in the preliminaries, just ran a semi-final time of 10.11 seconds, ranking 8th and last in the first group. Xie Zhenye was eliminated and missed the finals.
Xie Zhenye is out, he has nothing to say, he is really running with his life, and he can't run within 10 seconds when he vomits blood.
"Sure enough, if you can't run in 10 seconds, you won't be able to enter the finals at all. If you run within 10 seconds, you may not be able to enter the final, this is the Olympic 100-meter race, you have seen and learned. Xie Zhenye looked at the big screen of results, a little regretful, but he can also accept this result, the 100-meter run is the hard power of real swords and guns, and there is nothing to say about running away, so continue to practice when you return to China.
In the three groups of the men's 100m semifinals, the top two in each group directly advanced to the final, so Gatlin and Wiecourt advanced to the 100m final as the top two in the first group. The top two teams in the three groups directly advance to the finals, that is, six direct qualification places, and the two fastest of the remaining 18 people can also advance to the finals, which is the promotion mechanism for the eight finals of the men's 100-meter run.
Mette ran 9.97 seconds, Simby clocked 9.98 seconds, and fifth-placed Ashmid ran 9.99 seconds. Ashmead, the main player of Jamaica's 4x100 relay team, is out of the tournament and he is unlikely to get the other two finals spots with the fastest results, because the same group of Mite and Simbi are faster than Ashmead.
The battle in the first group was quite miserable, except for Gatlin's advantage, which was obviously lost, and the difference between the rest of the players before and after was about 0.01 seconds and 0.02 seconds.
Second-place Wickaut won by 0.02 seconds over third-place Meyt, and the gap between Meet, Simby, and Ashmead was 0.01 seconds.
Ashmid ran to 9.99 seconds, and he was out of the race before the next two semifinals were fired. The competition is extremely fierce and the competition is very cruel.
Suddenly, the crowd cheered enthusiastically, many people chanted "Usain Bolt", "Champion", "Triple Champion", --- defending champion Usain Bolt appeared in the second group.
Bolt is in lane 5, and he grimaces at the camera, looking more relaxed.
Su Bingtian, who is in lane 6 next door to Usain Bolt, was extremely serious, and he was under a lot of pressure after seeing the results of the first semi-final.
Unless the top two in the second group directly advance to the finals, Su Bingtian will have to fight with the remaining 17 people.
Su Bingtian, whose personal PB is 9.99 seconds, competed with the rest of the runners, and it didn't work to run 9.99 seconds, at least he had to run to 9.98 seconds.
Bang!
The semi-finals of the second group begin.
Usain Bolt started to make a splash after 50 metres and was already leading after a few big steps.
Canada's De Glasser chased after Usain Bolt, while Su Bingtian couldn't make it to the top three.
Usain Bolt topped the group in 9.86 seconds and De Grasser finished second in 9.92 seconds, and the two advanced directly to the final.
The miracle of last year's World Championships did not happen again, Su Bingtian won the fifth place in the group in 10.08 seconds and missed the final.
Within 10 minutes, the Chinese team folded two generals in a row, and the Olympic men's 100m semifinals were not a joke, they had to work hard. However, the cruel thing is that sometimes it is useless to fight hard.
After a few more minutes, Douc appeared.
The audience was boiling again, and the cheers were even louder than when Bolt came out just now.
Bolt stripped off his golden running shoes and sat barefoot on the ground as he watched Doucle's semi-finals.
Duke was in lane 5, next to Jamaica's Blake, and next to Blake's Bromel of the United States in lane 3.
During the time when the runners confirmed the starting machine, Blake whispered a few words to Bromell that Jamaica and the United States were mortal enemies, and at this time Blake and Brommel were close teammates.
βon-your-marksοΌβ The starter signals the ready.
Eight runners get on the starting gear and wait for the SET signal.
"Du Ke has to run three shots in a row in a little more than an hour, and this shot is his first shot in the semi-finals of the 100-meter run, let's see Du Ke's performance, he is the only remaining hope for the Chinese team in the 100-meter run." Teacher Yang explained, a little worried, "Running three shots in the 100-meter semi-finals, 400-meter finals, and 100-meter finals in a row, ordinary athletes simply can't withstand such a high-intensity exercise load in a short period of time." Of course, Duke can't be considered an ordinary athlete, but these three shots are also torturous...... Okay, it's game on! β
At the beginning of the men's 100m third semi-finals, Duke, Blake and Bromel shot at the same time, and after the start, the three quickly rushed to the front.
After running 30 meters, Duke found that the 100-meter semi-finals would not be easy, and Blake and Bloomel rushed to death, as if they had discussed it in advance.
"You have to push him to run the semi-finals with all his might." Blake got more and more energetic as he ran.
"It can consume a little more Duke's physical strength." Brommel had reached a strategic agreement with Blake before the game.
Duke was mentally prepared, he knew that any of the three shots tonight would not pass easily.
After running 50 meters, Du Ke turned on the [Fast Frequency Assault], and at this time he couldn't retreat, that is, he was just domineering.
In the middle of the run, Duke left Blake and Brumel behind, and he crossed the line first, winning the group with a time of 9.72 seconds and directly advancing to the final.
Brommel ran 9.85 seconds, faster than Usain Bolt's semi-final time. He finished second in the group and also qualified directly for the final.
Blake finished third in 9.90 seconds, the same time as Gatlin's semi-final time. Blake qualified for the final with a third-place finish of 9.90 seconds in the third group, and Meite finished third in the first group in 9.97 seconds to secure the final spot.
Looking at the results of the third semi-final, Doucle once again ran 9.72 seconds, which was exactly the same as his preliminaries. Bromel 9.85 seconds, Blake 9.90 seconds, this is a semi-final, it's a final! Teacher Yang was amazed.
"Obviously, Bromel and Blake want to consume Duke to the maximum, because before Duke runs the 100-meter final, he has to run a 400-meter final. Duke, hurry up and take a break, the next two shots are even more dangerous! (To be continued.) )
