Chapter 269: Sincere Heart
There are more Chinese athletes participating in the 2018 Diamond League London Station than at any previous station. Individual events include: Wu Ziyi (men's 100 meters), Xie Zhenye (men's 100 meters), Lu Huihui (women's javelin), Wei Yongli (women's 100 meters),
Women's Discus Throw (Su Xinyue), a total of 5 people.
In fact, there are still many Chinese track and field athletes who are qualified to participate in this stop. However, many highly competitive events are undergoing selection for the Asian Games, and those athletes cannot spare the time to participate in the Diamond League. The above five people have already been in China.
Confirm the athletes qualified to represent the Asian Games.
In addition, the Chinese male/female relay team will also participate in the 4x100m relay race in London.
This year's Diamond League London leg is larger in scale. In addition to the fixed 14 diamond events, there are also 12 non-diamond events (including diamond-level invitational tournaments and British national competitions), so the schedule lasts for two days.
When Wu Ziyi and others began to browse the list of entries for various events in London, they only saw a series of three capital letters densely arranged on the interface - USA.
However, in the men's 100-meter event that Wu Ziyi and Xie Zhenye will participate in, there are 8 athletes from China among the 18 people in the two preliminaries. And it is certain that more than these 8 athletes from China are qualified to participate. After all, Lyles is
They are not on the list, and relatively speaking, there are only 3 people from China who are eligible to participate.
Perhaps China's sprinting is now fully qualified in terms of cutting-edge strength, and the men's 4x100-meter event also has a high chance of winning, but the level gap between the second-level athletes is too big. There are only 3 men's 100-meter athletes in China.
The first one broke through 10 seconds, and the fourth-placed Xu Zhouzheng was just over 10 seconds. On the other hand, if you take away Coleman, Lyles and Ronnie Baker, Isaiah Young and Mike Rowe are still at the first level.
·Jace and others are all at the level of 9.9 seconds.
It has to be said that the development of track and field in China is still insufficient, but the time when a hundred flowers bloom is not far away. At least Wu Ziyi saw a sea of flowers waiting to bloom before he was reborn.
On July 21, at London Olympic Stadium, at 14:35, the men's 100-meter preliminaries began.
Yang Jian: "Okay, now the competition has come to the first group of the men's 100-meter preliminaries. We talked about Wei Yongli's progress 5 minutes ago. Her successful advancement to the women's 100-meter final is also a good start for everyone. So now
Let’s take a look at the men’s 100 meters.”
Lane 1, Andrew Pozzi, has a personal best time of 11.52 seconds. This result seems very strange. In fact, the main event of this Pozzi athlete is the 110-meter hurdles, and the best time is 13.28 seconds. He came to participate in
Because Jaylen Bacon, a player from the unlucky country, abandoned the game, I improvised a number.
Lane 2, Turkish player Hassan Taftan.
Track 3, Xie Zhenye.
Lane 4, Bad Country, Christian Coleman.
Lane 5, English player Jenne Hughes.
Lane 6, unlucky country player Isaiah Young.
Lane 7, Jamaican star Yohan Blake.
Lane 8, unlucky Chinese player Cameron Burrell.
Lane 9, English player OjieEDOBURUN.
"Let's take a look at the first group of games. Can Xie Zhenye continue his good form and advance to the finals? This is what I am looking forward to..."
Xie Zhenye in the field was a little uneasy. After all, he was next to Coleman, the only one who has broken the 9.80 mark on the surface, and he is also a famous future monster. Xie Zhenye was worried that Coleman's super start would be disrupted.
His rhythm.
"Onyourmarks~"
When the instructions came for everyone to get into position, Xie Zhenye took a deep breath, jumped on the spot, and stepped forward.
The camera showed Coleman, but his face was still expressionless, and at a glance there was no sign of any disturbance at all.
"Set——"
"boom--!"
Yang Jian: "A good start to the game! Xie Zhenye's start was very good. In the first 20 meters, he was no worse than Coleman!"
"Coleman gradually accelerated and got rid of Xie Zhenye, Xie Zhenye kept it, don't be distracted!"
"Sius started to catch up, and Coleman was far ahead. He was the first to cross the finish line, 9 seconds 89. Coleman still slacked off a little to save his strength for the subsequent finals, and the result was revised, Coleman was 9 seconds 90.
, he is indeed extremely powerful.”
"Coleman is first, Hughes is second at 9.97 seconds, Blake is third at 9.99 seconds, and Xie Zhenye is at 10.01 seconds. According to the rules, the top three in the two preliminaries advance directly, so Xie Zhenye wants to attack
If so, I can only fight the small Q with the opponents in the second group, but I feel that the chance is not very high..."
Seeing the results on the big screen, Xie Zhenye was a little annoyed. He was too focused on his future, and the name Coleman put so much pressure on him that his late-career abilities, which he was originally good at, were not fully utilized.
The wind speed displayed on the big screen was 0.8m/s, which was almost the same as the wind speed of Montreuil's shot. However, he did not perform at his best. This kind of performance was "abnormal" because he was clearly capable but was disrupted by his opponent.
"The situation is the last thing the players want to happen.
Yang Jian: "Our player Xie Zhenye seems a little unhappy, but in fact the result of 10 seconds 01 is already very good. I think Xie Zhenye does not need to be too strict with himself, after all, the opponent next to him is Coleman...
..”
When Wu Ziyi came on the field, he saw Xie Zhenye walking away from the field with a sad face. He was very happy in his heart, and he was still thinking about whether to give his opponents a little more stimulation and let them perform their best.
Do your best to ensure that Xie Zhenye cannot advance to the finals.
"Old Xie, do you know that I have worked so hard for you!"
Wu Ziyi adjusted the starting block and started to test run. Suddenly there was a burst of applause in the stadium. He looked up and found that Lu Huihui's second throw was playing on the big screen, 65 meters 54, ahead of Kelsey Lee Ba, who was currently second.
Bo is 1.43 meters, which is gratifying.
Returning to his position to prepare, Wu Ziyi always kept a smile, and raised his eyebrows from time to time to interact when the camera cut away. The expression of Ronnie Baker next to him was a little unnatural. In fact, it was not that he was unhappy, but his lips were thicker and he did not smile.
He always looked like he was pouting.
Okay, let’s take a look at the contestants in the second group of the men’s 100-meter preliminaries, lane 1, Brandon Kearns from the unlucky country.”
Lane 2, English player Akins Arrietty.
Gu Suan No. 3, Jeff Dempsey of the United States.
Lane 4, South African star Akani Sibini.
Lane 5, Bad Country, Ronnie Baker.
Lane 6, Wu Ziyi.
Lane 7, Bad Country, Mike Rogers.
Lane 8, Jamaican player Tequindo Tracy.
Lane 9, 42-year-old legendary veteran Jim Collins.
Yang Jian: "Sibini, Ronnie Baker, Rogers, the average strength of this group is actually slightly stronger than the previous group. It depends on how much energy Wu Ziyi can save to compete with Coleman...
..”
"Onyourmarks~"
Following the instructions given by the starter, the runners stepped onto their starting blocks one after another and prepared.
"Set——"
“ohhhh————”
Without waiting for the starting gun, Wu Ziyi only vaguely saw two figures jumping out, and then heard the "stand up" instruction given by the referee.
I stood up and looked up, only to see Jim Collins jogging in front of him and slowly stopping. Tracy also ran out, but it looked like he was obviously taken out by Collins.
Collins was a little excited, covered his face and sighed, and patted his head in annoyance. Then under the guidance of the referee, he temporarily returned to his position to wait for the decision.
There was sparse applause in the stadium. This was the only encouragement the audience could give to the legendary veteran. However, the encouragement from the audience could not save the referee's cruelty and his lack of mercy in the face of the rules.
The referee stood in front of Collins' starting block and gave him a red card. Collins shook his hand and walked helplessly toward the side channel.
"Corinth——!"
The live broadcast camera was originally focused on Collins, who was being taken off the field by the referee, but a red figure suddenly broke in.
Collins turned around and saw the Chinese young man in front of him who had helped him walk in Oslo open his arms to him, and he was suddenly moved to tears.
Collins and Wu Ziyi hugged each other, and the sparse applause suddenly sounded like thunder, resounding throughout the London Bowl.
Letting go of the tearful Collins, Wu Ziyi turned around to discuss with the male referee: "Please, sir, let Collins finish the game, even if it doesn't count in the score."
The male referee was a little angry because Wu Ziyi left his position without the referee's permission, which was against the rules.
"Uzi player, a false start is a false start, even Bolt is no exception. Do you want to challenge my dignity as a referee?" He pointed to lane 6 and shouted to Wu Ziyi: "Now, immediately
Get back to your place! Now!"
Collins also pulled Wu Ziyi: "It doesn't matter, I did make a false start. According to the rules, I should have left the field."
Maybe it’s because Wu Ziyi is too famous now, maybe it’s the referee’s obviously aggressive actions that made the audience dissatisfied, maybe it’s out of sympathy for Collins, the legendary veteran, at some point the audience in the stadium started shouting Collins’ name.
.
"Corinth——, Corinth——! Corinth——!!"
Several other referees saw that the situation was not right and rushed over. The referee who was responsible for issuing the order was an old British woman with white hair and a kind face. She first gently pushed the male referee away and said, "Mark, your actions have made us
I have fallen into passivity, now let me handle this matter."
"Okay, Mrs. Ellington." The male referee stepped aside.
Mrs. Ellington turned to Wu Ziyi and said kindly: "My child, you have a sincere heart. I can let Collins return to the track. After all, this is not a big competition like the World Championships or the Olympics. Let the player who committed a false start finish.
The competition is not included in the results, this situation has also occurred in other competitions."
Then she turned to Collins: "So, Collins, you can go back to your place."
Collins burst into tears and laughed, while Wu Ziyi bent down, picked up one of Mrs. Ellington's hands, and kissed it gently.
"Oh - my God, I am already an old woman with white hair. This kind of etiquette should be dedicated to young, beautiful girls."
Wu Ziyi said sincerely: "No, at this moment you are more beautiful and moving in my heart than a sixteen-year-old girl in her prime!"
The audience in the stadium naturally knew the result after seeing Wu Ziyi's action and hearty smile. The applause thundered again. Some female spectators who were close to him waved handkerchiefs. There were even a few bold girls who threw various kinds of words at Wu Ziyi.
Weird stuff.
Wu Ziyi did not dodge in time, but was hit on the head by a pink bra and covered his eyes. He threw it back in panic and shyness. Wu Ziyi returned to his position amidst the laughter of the nearby audience.
The subsequent competition went smoothly. Wu Ziyi ran 9.87 seconds and won the first place in the group. Ronny Baker came in second at 9.90 seconds. Sibini was third at 9.93 seconds. Rogers was fourth at 9.96 seconds.
Chapter completed!
