Chapter 304 Unyielding
Gatlin, DeGrasse, Gimli, and Tracy went out, and Wu Ziyi didn't know the remaining players. Cheng Guanfeng's failure to directly enter the semifinals was expected by Wu Ziyi. His strength was not stable yet.
It's not at the level where you can stably control your performance within 10 seconds and 20 seconds.
After the second group fired the shot, Wu Zhiqiang's third group also lined up to go out. At this time, there were still half of the men's 100-meter preliminaries left in the room.
Not long after, the results of the second group were released. Under the condition of a headwind of 0.8m/s, Gatlin ran 10.06 seconds and easily advanced. De Grasse relied on his late-range ability to catch up and ranked 10.13 seconds.
Second, Adam Gimli was 10.19 seconds, and Tracy, who was fourth, was 10.21 seconds.
After the second group, it was the turn of the second member of the Chinese team, Wu Zhiqiang, to appear.
Yang Jian: "Okay, let's go to the third group of the men's 100-meter preliminaries. Wu Zhiqiang is on the stage. He is in lane 9. Among the players in this group, several players have broken PB of 10 seconds, but in this group
There are only two people who have broken 10 seconds this season, one is British player Janet Hughes and the other is Nigerian player Raymond Ekwo.”
Because CCTV did not broadcast the men's 100-meter qualifying event, the broadcast at this time also thoughtfully showed Wu Zhiqiang's qualifying results for the domestic audience.
Zhang Peimeng: "Wu Zhiqiang ran 10 seconds 34 in the qualifying round. From my perspective, his condition today should be quite close to his best time, because he lost almost 20 meters in the qualifying round."
Wu Zhiqiang’s qualifying group was very lucky, and his opponents were very weak. Of course, this is also a common situation in qualifying. Except for the first place in the four groups, the best time of other players in the qualifying competition was only 10 seconds 46, so Wu Zhiqiang also experienced
Gained the feeling of being a "master".
But now, he has to go all out, and even going all out may not be able to advance smoothly, at least from a statistical point of view - except for Kamala, the Gambian player who participated in the qualifying round with Wu Zhiqiang, the other selected players
His best time of the season was 10.07 seconds.
The three strongest players in this group are:
British player Janet Hughes in lane 4 has a personal best time of 9.91 seconds and a season best time of 9.95 seconds;
South African Simon MAGAKWE in Lane 7 has a personal best time of 9.98 seconds and a season best time of 10.05 seconds;
Nigeria's Raymond Ekwo, in lane 8, set a personal best time of 9.96 seconds in the men's 100-meter final of the African Games on August 27 this year.
Among the eight players, Wu Zhiqiang's PB ranked seventh, only higher than Kamara, a player from the Gambia, Africa's largest military power. His situation seemed to be even more severe than that of Cheng Guanfeng.
"Onyourmarks~"
Wu Zhiqiang's face was solemn. This was the most severe test he had faced this year. Even facing the three giants Su, Xie and Wu in Shenyang did not make him feel so heavy.
In domestic competitions, everyone keeps their heads down. Even if he fails to pass the selection, as long as the results are easy to see, he can always get some comfort. And now he is wearing the uniform of the national team!
The light of Su, Xie and Wu was so dazzling that all the domestic sprinters could not shine at all in front of them.
I also want to stand in the spotlight, not on the relay, but in a light of my own!
...
Wu Zhiqiang's solemn expression has different interpretations in different people's minds.
Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang's face does look murderous."
Zhang Peimeng: "Yes, it seems that Wu Zhiqiang is ready to give this shot a good try!"
Wu Zhiqiang's feet were firmly on the starting block, and his hands and ten fingers were strongly supporting his body. He lowered his head and had a gold chain hanging on his chest.
"Set——"
"boom--!"
"The race has begun! Wu Zhiqiang's start was still a bit slow and he failed to gain a leading position in the future. Wu Zhiqiang accelerated and added up the speed!"
Before entering the middle run, the figure Wu Zhiqiang could see was Raymond Ekwo in lane 8. This youngster who was born in 1999 and was about the same size as Cheng Guanfeng had PB results that he envied.
Listening to the gun, reacting, pedaling, connecting, and accelerating, before he completely raised his head, he already felt that he was lagging behind Raymond Ekwo. The first thirty meters had always been his weakness, and this time was no exception.
.
In an auditorium at Khalifa Stadium, Randy Huntington was watching the game. Sitting next to him was undoubtedly his old buddy Ralph Mann. At this time, the situation on the field was not in their minds.
As the world's top track and field coaches and scholars, they had already expected this to be the case.
Under Randy, he will develop a different training plan for each athlete, and each plan has a different focus.
Before officially joining the team, Randy didn't know much about Wu Zhiqiang. After all, he had too many top players under him before. Not to mention Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wang Jianan, and Shi Yuhao, each of them was at least an Asian player.
Super top players in the game.
So Randy asked Wu Zhiqiang the simplest question: Future? Balance? Future?
The significance of this question is not that if Wu Zhiqiang answers, Randy will train him in that direction. The purpose of Randy asking this question is to test whether Wu Zhiqiang’s understanding of himself is in place. After going through a series of tests, Wu Zhiqiang’s
The answer is in perfect agreement with Randy's analysis - Hou Cheng.
Although his talent is far inferior to that of Su, Xie, and Wu, what Randy admires most about Wu Zhiqiang is that he dares to apply to join his team and is able to persevere.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not everyone can adapt to Randy's training intensity. Every year, there are many athletes who actively seek connections to join his team, but most of them are trying to understand the training intensity.
Or they choose to quit within less than a month of trial training. Athletes who can persevere and grow will always have some qualities that ordinary people do not have:
Meticulous rigor, fearless courage, tenacity and unyielding will, the intellect to draw inferences from one instance, and the ability to take on other people's responsibilities. Randy has only seen these qualities in Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian at the same time. Other athletes are more or less lacking in them.
one three.
What Wu Zhiqiang possesses is unyielding.
This is an NMG man who knows his abilities clearly, but no matter what level of opponent he faces, he will still fight hard!
Wu Zhiqiang, run! Chase!
(CCTV) Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang did not give up, he was still accelerating! Wu Zhiqiang fought hard, sprinting for the last 20 meters!"
(BBC) Tom Hanks: "Hughes gradually overtook the first place, and the situation seemed unable to change... No, it's the Chinese again! What a ferocious acceleration!"
(NHK) Zenji Watanabe: "Is it really the performance of Hughes? Who else can get a seat besides Hughes... Wu Zhiqiang, China's Wu Zhiqiang is struggling to catch up, can he do it?!
"
Sprint, press the line!
At 10.08, the timers distributed in the four corners of the field quickly gave the first time to determine the first place in the group - 10.08 seconds, with England's Gianni Hughes running in.
As the current winner, Hughes, after slowing down, turned around with a relaxed expression and shook hands with his opponents in the same group one by one, and then was the first to walk towards the athletes' tunnel.
The referee team's assessment results came out very quickly, and one name after another and numbers were refreshed on the big screen——
Wind speed: (-0.8m/s)
1Jane Hughes 10.08
2 Raymond Ekwo10.14
3 Wu Zhiqiang10.18
4Simon Markvey10.22
...
Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang, 10 seconds and 18! Congratulations to Wu Zhiqiang for winning third place in the group and advancing directly to the semi-finals!"
Zhang Peimeng: "It's great. The headwind is 0.8 meters per second. Wu Zhiqiang really withstood the pressure. Although he fell behind in the future, he still relied on his ability to run on the road to catch up."
Yang Jian: "If you look at it this way, at least three athletes from the Chinese team will be able to enter the men's 100-meter semi-finals of the World Championships this time. Such results are at least not inferior to those of the 15th and 17th World Championships."
Zhang Peimeng: “Congratulations to Wu Zhiqiang!”
Although the match between Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi has not yet started, Yang Jian and Zhang Peimeng have already reserved their places. This is not arrogance, but confidence.
Neither they nor the people in China who are watching the live broadcast have any reason to believe that Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi cannot get tickets to the semi-finals. There is no doubt that they are completely believed!
Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi did not disappoint the two commentators, nor did they disappoint the tens of millions of viewers in front of the TV.
In the fourth group, Su Bingtian took the lead with 10.06 seconds (-0.3m/s), Yohan Blake ranked second with 10.07 seconds, and third was Jimmy Vicott with 10.08 seconds.
The average strength of the fourth group is stronger. Arthur Cisse of Cote d'Ivoire ranked fourth with a time of 10.14 seconds, and Aisu Kiryu ranked fifth with a time of 10.18 seconds. Judging from the current results, both of them have the same time.
There is a high chance of entering the semi-finals through substitution.
The average strength of the fifth group is also very strong. Wu Ziyi easily qualified in 9 seconds 94 (-0.3m/s), Brazilian Paulo Andre Camilo ranked second in 10 seconds 11, and Mike Rogers ranked 14th in 10 seconds
In third place, Filippo Totto of Italy was fourth in 10.20 seconds, and Koike Yuka was fifth in 10.21 seconds.
Coleman led the sixth group with 9.98 seconds (0.1m/s), Lamont Marcel Jacobs was second with 10.07 seconds, Sani Brown was third with 10.09 seconds, and the fourth Brazilian player
Rodrigo Donascimento's time has reached 10.25 seconds and does not pose a threat to Cheng Guanfeng.

In the first group, Cheng Guanfeng clocked 10.22 seconds;
In the second group, Taikundo Tracy 10 seconds 21;
The third group, Simon Markvey, 10 seconds 22;
In the fourth group, Arthur Cisse clocked 10 seconds and 14 seconds, and Kiryu Aixiu clocked 10 seconds and 18 seconds;
In the fifth group, Philippe Totto clocked 10 seconds 20, and Yuka Koike clocked 10 seconds 21.
Chen Guanfeng and Simon Markvey were both 10.22 seconds. According to the rules, if the percentile is the same, the thousandth place needs to be compared.
Chen Guanfeng 10.214, Simon Markvey 10.21...7!
