Chapter 153 Who is still brushing PB?
Return to the lounge.
"Old Wu, what did you say to Rogers? Look at the constipated look on his face." Xie Zhenye asked. He always felt that Wu Ziyi was saying dirty things outside again. Rogers even rolled his eyes at the camera.
"I didn't say anything. I just said [among the three members of our Chinese team, I am the hottest]. He asked me [who is the strongest, is it SU?], and I said [no, no, no, it's XIE]."
Xie Zhenye also rolled his eyes: "Come on, that's definitely not what you are talking about. Huh, I'm going to find Tiantian."
Xie Zhenye went to find Su Bingtian, but what greeted him was Su Bingtian's cold face. He had become immune to the conversational Xie Zhenye and would never talk to him before the game, but Xie Zhenye didn't care and kept talking like this.
Su Bingtian was about to cry but had no tears.
Wu Ziyi could only silently pray for Su Bingtian from the side. He could threaten him with the chips of double row without Xie Zhenye, but Su Bingtian couldn't. Then there is no other way, my brother Tian, I can only wrong you.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the men's 60-meter semi-finals started. They were divided into 3 groups. Wu Ziyi, Xie Zhenye, and Su Bingtian were just assigned to groups 1, 2, and 3, so they did not need to compete with each other.
Wu Ziyi's main opponent in Group 1 is Asawong Brommel, ah no, Cuiwang Brommel, the former world youth 100-meter record holder who is only more than one year older than himself.
Compared to 100 meters, Brommel is actually better at 60 meters. He has one of the best start-up and connection abilities in the world. Although the outdoor record for the first 10 meters and 30 meters does not belong to him, his future ability cannot be underestimated.
watch for.
In addition to Bromel, Ramon Gittens from Barbados and Aihide Kiryu from Neon are also in the same group as Wu Ziyi.
This is the third official meeting between Wu Ziyi and Kiryu Xiangxiu. The first time was at the 2014 World Youth Championship in Eugene, and the second time was at the 2015 Bahamas World Relay Championship.
Wu Ziyi has paid attention to the news about Neon, and knows that he also came to Florida during the winter training period, and apprenticed under Renault with Sani Brown and Yuka Koike. I wonder if he has grown now.
Wu Ziyi didn't pay much attention to him, but he could feel that Kiryu Xiangxiu's eyes were always on him.
Don't look at me, brother, just wait for 10 seconds. I'm really not interested in you.
Wu Ziyi was not interested in Tongsheng Xiangxiu, but Tongsheng Xiangxiu was very interested in Wu Ziyi. He extended his hand to Wu Ziyi with an expression of "five points smile, three points indifference, and two points confidence":
"Wujisang! Thank you for your guidance during last year's interview. I hope Wujisang can give full play to me today. Please give me your advice!"
Wu Ziyi, who is gibbering, can't understand it either. Although I can tell that Kiryu Xiangxiu is speaking English, your awkward accent might as well be speaking Japanese...
Wu Ziyi really didn't understand what he said. He could only guess based on Kiryu Xiangxiu's expression. He held his hand and replied in English and Japanese: "Hello, have you eaten? You are a great worker.
~"
Regardless of whether he understood or not, Wu Ziyi was not going to say anything more and turned around to prepare.
As the athletes in the men's 60-meter semifinals came on stage, the camera naturally cut to it.
Yang Jian also quickly changed the subject: "Okay, the next step is the men's 60-meter event. my country's Wu Ziyi is placed in Group 1. His biggest opponent in this group is Bromel, the genius from the unlucky country. The difference between the two of them in the men's 100m final of the Yanjing World Championships last year was 0.01 seconds, which was very close. But in the 60m performance, Bromel seemed to be better..."
Although it was the semi-finals, the schedule was still very fast. The referees waited for the athletes to stand still before issuing instructions. The athletes stepped forward and stepped on the starting block to get ready.
"Set——"
"boom--!"
The gunshot sounded, and Yang Jian quickly followed his explanation:
"Game start!"
"Bromel's start is very fast, and Wu Ziyi is also good!"
"Both of them are running neck and neck, who has the stronger future?"
"In the final sprint, Wu Ziyi pressed the line! Oh! He seems to be first in the group?!"
"The camera was given to Wu Ziyi instead of Bromel. Wu Ziyi is the first!"
"In 6 seconds 52, Wu Ziyi tied Su Bingtian's national record!"
For Yang Jian, it is indeed a surprise that Wu Ziyi can win the first place in the group despite having Bromel in the same group.
After all, although he is a sports commentator, his track and field knowledge is not very professional. Watch him say something like "Su Bingtian's start is definitely the best in the world now" in the men's 100m semi-finals of the Yanjing World Championships.
, you can get a glimpse of it.
But that was based on the fact that he did not have first-hand information, and what was before him now was that Wu Ziyi defeated Bromel in the 60 meters.
Yang Jian: "Let's take a look at the replay. Wu Ziyi and Brommel both started very well. In the first 30 meters, Brommel should be slightly ahead of Wu Ziyi, but after 30 meters, Wu Ziyi really showed his strength.
Extreme speed advantage.”
"Swish, swish, swish - his extremely advantageous stride quickly equaled Brommel. He passed him at 50 meters, but in the end neither of them chose to press the line, which shows that they were actually
He didn’t try his best.”
The cameras at the scene are always following Wu Ziyi. Not to mention that he is the first in the group, but based on his current popularity in the country, the tournament organizers will try their best to give Wu Ziyi more shots.
What's the heat?
Of course, it was Wu Ziyi’s “speech” at the University of Florida before Christmas. As of today, the video of Wu Ziyi’s speech has been viewed more than 20 million times on YouTube.
You must know that he is just a sprinter, and he is also Chinese.
But this is the fact. As the most unpopular East Asian face in the United States, he is suddenly liked by so many people. Maybe it is because he is handsome, maybe because his speech is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, or because
Someone is fueling the flames behind the scenes...
Anyway, this brought a lot of popularity to Wu Ziyi, and his domestic and foreign endorsement fees also increased again and again.
Men's 60m Group 1 final results:
1 Wu Ziyi 6.51 Q AR
2 Traiwan Bromell 6.53 Q PB
3 Ramon Gittens 6.53
4 Kiryu Aihide 6.56
...
"Oh~ Wu Ziyi's final score was revised to 6.51 seconds. He directly broke the Asian record in the semifinals of the Portland Indoor Track and Field Championships! Another record in hand, what is Wu Ziyi's limit?!"
Bromel's shot was actually not weak, and it also set a new personal best even without him crossing the line.
But who is not brushing PB yet?
Kiryu Aihide was a little discouraged. It was 6 seconds 56. Can he still not catch up with Wuji-san? I have tried my best, why am I still only fourth in the group?
Wu Ziyi can't remember the specific data of this competition. He directly defeated Xie Zhenye and finally won the 4th place and Brommel championship. Powell once again became a weakling in the competition, running 6 seconds and 44 seconds in both the preliminaries and semi-finals.
Under the circumstances, I ended up taking 2nd place...
Chapter completed!
