Chapter 131 Third in the preliminaries, there is a drama in the medals

The relay was a very uncertain race, and the U.S. team played normally in the first three but made a mistake in the fourth baton handover. The third baton of Paton is ready to enter the process of finally handing over the baton to Guy, Guy has already started, his hand has been opened back, but the power of Paton to the stick is a little light, Guy just held it weakly, Paton let go of his hand, as a result, the stick fell to the ground very unceremoniously, Paton behind him was so anxious that his feet jumped straight, and Guy saw that the general trend had gone, and did not pick up the stick again, but ran forward a few steps and stopped, and their wish to compete with the Jamaican team in the final was in vain!

And it is not only the United States team that makes mistakes, the Nigerian team, the No. 1 sprint power in Africa, is right next to the American team, and their athletes are also affected by the rhythm of the American team's baton handover, and the result is that they also made a mistake in the fourth baton handover, and then gave up the game.

However, this was only the beginning, as after the first set of matches, the referee looked back at the footage and South Africa, Poland and Brazil were awarded fouls for failing to complete the baton handover in the designated area or running out of bounds. In the final first group, only three teams from Trinidad and Tobago, the Netherlands and Japan had a result. Trinidad and Tobago topped the group, while Japan and the Netherlands finished second and third, respectively.

In fact, the strength of the Japanese team and the Dutch team is definitely at the bottom of this group. The teams that were eliminated, except for Poland, were much stronger than Japan and the Netherlands.

The results of the first group are also very good news for the national team, the United States and Nigeria are out of the tournament and have two more places, while South Africa, Brazil and foul convictions are also equivalent to two less competitors.

Only three teams in the first group have results, counting the eight teams in the second group that have not yet participated, there are currently 11 teams left, which means that the national team only needs to run to the fifth place in one group to definitely advance to the final. Even if you can't run fifth, if your score is higher than that of Japan and the Netherlands, you only need to find a random backpad, and you can still advance to the finals with an overall score of eighth.

At this time, the national team players are full of confidence, because over the years, the Japanese team has ceased to be the number one sprint power in Asia. In the men's 4x100m event, the Chinese team has defeated the Japanese team many times. With the existence of Zhang Guan, it is inevitable that he will run faster than the Japanese team.

As for the back-backed teams, the bottom team in the second group is not difficult to find, as the Thai team is in the second group. The Thai team will definitely not be able to outrun the Chinese team, so the form of the national team's promotion at this time can be described as a great one.

In the second group, in addition to China, there are also Jamaican teams, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany, France and Thailand. There is no doubt that Jamaica is the strongest and Thailand is the weakest, and Great Britain is the defending champion of this event, second only to Jamaica and the United States, Canada and Italy are also capable of winning medals, especially the Canadian team, which is also a black player trained in the American team. Germany's comprehensive sports strength is strong, but the strength of the French team this year is relatively average.

If there are no accidents, the Thai team will inevitably be at the bottom, and the other teams will all have the possibility of advancing as long as they run faster than the Japanese team.

After the gunshot, the first stick of Hu Kai started very smoothly, he is the strength of the domestic players second only to Zhang Guan's 100-meter athlete, although there is still a relatively large gap from the world-class, but compared with the players of the Thai team, it is a lot stronger, so in his first stick, the Chinese team won the Thai team that surpassed.

Although Zhang Peiming, the second baseman, has not yet ushered in his peak, but he can run to 10 seconds in the future, he obviously has infinite potential, at this time he will be the best straight strength to the fullest, through this stick, the Chinese team successfully led the French team.

The third baton was the weakest link of the Chinese team, and his main task was to pass the baton to Zhang Guan. After receiving the baton, Zhang Guan overtook the Italian team in just a few steps.

The Italian team is also full of black players, these black players are definitely stronger than Asian players, but compared to Zhang Guanlai, they can only be regarded as five scum, and the German team who will be no better, is still surpassed by Zhang Guan without suspense, and then the fourth stick of the powerful Canadian team cannot keep his position.

Generally speaking, the strength of the fourth runner should be the strongest, and the fourth runner in these countries also has the strength to run within 10 seconds, which can be regarded as a top runner, but the result of 10 seconds in the 100 meters is too far away from Zhang Guan's world record of 9.56 seconds, and Zhang Guan can easily surpass them without exerting his full strength.

Zhang Guan overtook three players in a row, and the Chinese team was already in third position, and finally the crowd cheered, Zhang Guan and the British team crossed the finish line side by side.

Although the final results have not yet come out, the Chinese team is either second or third in the group, and it is inevitable to advance to the finals.

At this time, the referee began to verify the footage of the game, and it turned out that the British team Dvonish ran on the track of the Jamaican team at the last start, so the British team was disqualified, and the Chinese team became the second team in the group without suspense. The Italian team was then spotted stealing the runway, and their results were cancelled.

Although the second group fared much better than the first, only six teams had a result.

Seven of the 16 teams did not score due to fouls, a rarity in the history of the Olympic Games. As things stand, only Thailand has been eliminated out of the nine teams with results. However, the first group of Brazilians who were found guilty of a foul appealed to the conference, and in the end, they were lucky to succeed, and Brazil squeezed out France to advance to the final of the relay race.

The athletes in both groups are ranked by results, with Jamaica undoubtedly the first in the preliminary round, Trinidad and Tobago in second place in the preliminary round, and China in third place in the preliminary round, followed by Canada, Germany, Brazil, Japan and the Netherlands. These eight teams will advance to the 4x100m final.

The crowd was ecstatic, and it was widely believed that it would be enough for the national team to reach the final, but now it seems that there is hope for a medal, and if they can run third in the final, they will win a bronze medal.

You must know that 4 x 100 meters is a track and field collective event, and it is not easy for domestic athletes to win an Olympic medal in an individual event, and a medal in a collective event is even more unthinkable. The previous national team was still working for the right to participate in the collective track and field event, but now they can hope for a medal. For medals in such weak and collective events, the gold content is even higher than that of gold medals in strong events.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the United States and Great Britain have been eliminated, and if the United States and Great Britain both qualify, the rest of the country will certainly not have to count on medals. (To be continued.) )
