"CCTV, welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the 2019 Doha World Athletics Championships. I am the commentator Yang Jian. Today, Zhang Peimeng and I are still commentating for you."

"The men's 200m world record and world championship record were set by Jamaican lightning bolt Usain Bolt at 19.19 seconds at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. Wu Ziyi successfully beat Bolt in the men's 100m final two days ago.

The original world record of 9.58 seconds has been improved by 0.01 seconds. Now sports people and audiences around the world are paying attention to him, hoping that he can create miracles again."

"Another legendary player of the last century - Michael Johnson is in the NBC commentary box next to us at this time. NBC TV likes to invite him to commentate at the World Championships and Olympic Games. Michael Johnson was in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The record of 19.32 seconds set in 2008 is still the third best time in the history of men’s 200m in the world.”

"Before the game, I asked him [Are you ready to be surpassed by a young man?], and he replied [I have been ready for a long time, but it probably won't be today]. It was a very humorous answer, which shows that he is also very optimistic about Wu Ziyi.

Set a new historical height in tomorrow's final..."

At 20:50 on September 30th Doha time and 01:50 on October 1st Yanjing time, the men’s 200m semi-finals officially started.

Xie Zhenye was placed in the first group, Lyles was in the second group, and Wu Ziyi was in the third group.

The Taiwanese team still achieved a lot this time, but it was unsatisfactory in the most popular men's 100m and 200m events. And compared to having a silver medal in the account, plus a runner-up in the men's 100m and 200m events

Except for Lyles, the other two athletes in the competition failed in the preliminaries.

Bedrynak originally strained his injury in the US Championship finals, but due to the level of other players and the world rankings were not high enough, Bedrynak still got a spot in the World Championships, but his injury has not healed.

He only ran 21.50 seconds in the preliminaries and was eliminated at the bottom of the fourth group.

Coleman was the runner-up in the men's 200 meters at the U.S. Championships, and his strength is actually world-class. However, he and Lyles focused on the 100 meters and the 200 meters, so they gave his place to a man named Rodney Rowe (

RodneyROWE, a young man. Although he was not at the bottom, his time was only 20.92 seconds, and he was not even qualified to participate in the supplementary race.

Noah Lyles is now the only member of the Chinese team in the men's 200-meter event. Compared with the three from Jamaica and the two from China/England/Canada, he does seem a bit shabby.

As time went by, the eight players in the first group all completed pre-race starting block debugging and test runs on their respective tracks, and returned to their positions.

Lane 9 is South Africa's Munia, ranked 18th in the world; Lane 8 is Rasheed Dwyer of Jamaica, ranked 26th in the world; Lane 7 is Jereem Richards, ranked No. 1 in the world

7th; Lane 6 is Xie Zhenye, currently ranked 6th in the world; Lane 5 is England's Adam Gimili, ranked 18th in the world; Lane 4 is Turkey's Amir Guliyev, World Championships in London

The runner-up, ranked No. 3 in the world; Wilson in the third lane abstained, and the second lane was Ukrainian player Smerik.

As time went by, after the referees confirmed that all eight players were ready, the starter fired the first shot of the men's 200 semifinals.

Xie Zhenye, who was in lane 6, started a little slowly and was not outstanding in the curve. He was passed by Adam Gimili in lane 5 at 100 meters, and was passed by Guliyev at 110 meters.

However, after several years of training from Randy and the experience accumulated over the past few years, Xie Zhenye was not in a hurry at this time. He only released the remaining power after 120 meters and began to gradually catch up with the two people in front.

According to the rules of the IAAF, the men's 200-meter final grouping will be determined by the ranking of the athletes. The first place in the three groups will be divided into three stages: 5, 6, and 7 according to their performance. The second place in the three groups will be allocated 4 by lot.

, 8 and 9 channels, two substitute contestants will be randomly assigned to 2 and 3 channels.

Levels 2 and 3 are the levels that no 200-meter athlete wants to encounter. Because the angle is too small, these two levels require much more effort than other levels. Therefore, Xie Zhenye definitely does not want to be assigned this place in the finals.

on two runways.

There are still forty meters, thirty meters left...

"At the beginning of the race, Xie Zhenye started the corners relatively smoothly. All he needed to do was not to lag too far behind his opponent in the corners."

"Going into the straight after the bend, Gimili is currently in the first place, and Guliyev is slightly ahead of Xie Zhenye."

"Xie Zhenye, use your strength in the later stages! Overtake Guliyev, keep the pace, Xie Zhenye! Can you catch up with Gimili?"

"20 seconds 03, almost. Xie Zhenye's final sprint was still a bit stiff and he didn't press the line, but the second place in the group is also very good. As long as he can advance to the finals, he will have a chance to adjust."

Zhang Peimeng: "Xie Zhenye suddenly reminded me of the situation in the 2013 Moscow World Championships when I was defeated by Lemaître before I could reach the line. Although Xie Zhenye advanced to the finals, I still have to pay attention to this aspect, because it may be a difference.

Just a little bit, and you'll get better results."

Yang Jian and Zhang Peimeng in the commentary box were asking questions for Xie Zhenye, but Xie Zhenye himself was very happy. In fact, he caught up with Jimili in the last 10 meters. Normal pressure would definitely kill him.

But Xie Zhenye had his own considerations.

5, 6, and 7 are very good grades, but Xie Zhenye prefers 8 and 9. In the past few years, because of his low world ranking, he participated in some grand prix events and was often ranked 8th and 9th in the Diamond League.

He said, over time he got used to it.

Xie Zhenye is now betting on the 2/3 chance that he will win. He will be assigned to lot 8 or 9 instead of lot 4, and even if he is assigned to lot 4, it is completely acceptable, at least better than lot 2 or 3.

In the second group, Lyles ran at almost 100% speed under the full pursuit of Quinonez. He ranked first in the group with 19.85 seconds. Quinonez came second in the group with 19.95 seconds.

Len Brown entered the bench at 20 seconds 20.

...

When Wu Ziyi stood on lane 6, the audience cheered. Although it was not the finals, some spectators were already waving five-star red flags, as if Wu Ziyi had won the championship.

After defending the men's 100-meter championship at the World Championships and setting a new world record, the audience's expectation for Wu Ziyi is to set a new men's 200-meter record. Perhaps in this sprint era known as the "New Era", Wu Ziyi is the best in world track and field.

The brightest star.

Stepping onto the starting block, Wu Ziyi breathed easily to adjust his condition. Next to him were Kyle Greo and De Grasse, and further behind were Janne Hughes and Yohan Blake.

Brother Dao has recovered well this year, but Wu Ziyi feels that he has not yet returned to his best condition. At least in the 200 meters, his current level is not as good as it was during the Rio Olympics in 2016.

"Snapped--!"

After the gunshot sounded, Wu Ziyi quickly showed his strong cornering ability and caught up with Kyle Greo in lane 7 at 40 meters.

As soon as the eighty-meter mark passed, Wu Ziyi was already in first place, completely occupying the lead.

Going into the straight after the bend, Blake, Janet Hughes and Tamir Burnett were neck and neck, while Wu Ziyi, who was far ahead, had opened up a gap of at least three positions.

After 120 meters, Wu Ziyi began to gradually let go, constantly looking left and right, waiting for De Grasse to catch up with a playful smile. The two almost reenacted the 16 years when De Grasse met Bol in the semi-finals.

A unique scene, and we passed the finish line with laughter.

In the end, Wu Ziyi finished in 20.05 seconds and De Grasse finished in 20.08 seconds. The two advanced to the finals as first and second in the group respectively.

Third place Kyle Greo's time was 20.24 seconds. His time did not surpass Aaron Brown and Guliyev, so he missed the final. Blake suffered an extremely serious slowdown in the last 50 meters and only ran 20.37 seconds.

Ranked 6th.
