The Chinese delegation for the World Youth Championship will not arrive in Eugene until July 15th, so Wu Ziyi did not waste the two days of the 13th and 14th. The time difference did not seem to have any impact on the two men and women. On the contrary, Chen Wenzhong and Lao
Yi, master and disciple, are half-dead.
Wen Ying's mother, Li Yue, was also not feeling well, so Wu Ziyi took Wen Ying around the University of Oregon to relax and take a lot of beautiful photos of Wen Ying in two days.
Of course, Wu Ziyi has not missed basic training in the past two days, but since Hayward Stadium is closed at this time, Wu Ziyi can only go to the adjacent jane sanders stadium for pre-match training from 17:00 to 19:00.
Time moved forward little by little, and finally it came to July 22, and the 2014 Eugene World Youth Track and Field Championships finally started!
The total schedule of this World Youth Championship is 6 days from the 22nd to the 27th, which is much longer than many domestic events. Of course, the number of events will also increase accordingly. Wu Ziyi looked at the schedule and thought it was very good.
Yes, he still has 7 useless points anyway, so he can use "Adrenaline" for 7 days in a row.
Among the Chinese sprinters participating in the World Youth Championships in Eugene, only Wu Ziyi and Mo Youqi are relatively well-known (domestic). More other capable young athletes have chosen the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games.
100m preliminaries: 9:05 on the 22nd;
100m semi-finals: 18:30 on the 22nd;
100m final: 19:30 on the 23rd;
200m preliminaries: 10:50 on the 24th;
200m semi-finals: 18:25 on the 24th;
200m final: 19:05 on the 25th.
With such a schedule, Wu Ziyi can complete the game normally without even using the passive "adrenaline". Of course, he would be a fool if he can't play. Although Wu Ziyi pretends to be a cup, he is not stupid.
The men's 100-meter preliminaries started immediately after the men's discus event at 9 o'clock. Wu Ziyi had already done the inspection, but unexpectedly discovered that a strange "acquaintance" appeared on the list of Wu Ziyi's group 5.
That man was slightly shorter than Mo Youqi, and had squinted eyes comparable to those of Sun Honglei. From Wu Ziyi's point of view, he couldn't be said to be similar. He could only be said to be biological brothers with Sun Honglei.
Kiryu Aihide, this Japanese player who has lived a good life without the nickname "Big Wind Kiryu", wonders if he can get his honorary title in the windy field of Eugene.
Wu Ziyi is in lane 2, Kiryu Xiangxiu is in lane 5, and Mo Youqi is in lane 7 of group 8.
Unexpectedly, he would encounter a weak opponent in the preliminaries, which just allowed Wu Ziyi to experience the strength of this local Asian athlete who was praised by some domestic media in his previous life as "a more talented Asian athlete than Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye".
As the first four groups of players finished running, it was Wu Ziyi's turn to play in group 5.
It's still the same as before, first adjust the running aid, then conduct a test run, and then return to the starting waiting position.
Calmly waiting for the pre-match introduction by the on-site commentator, when Wu Ziyi's name was read, Wu Ziyi simply gave a thumbs up to the camera without making any unnecessary movements.
Not long after, a preparatory command came from the loudspeaker:
"On your marks(Everyone is in his place)~"
Wu Ziyi walked to the front of the running machine, squatted down, put his hands on the ground, stepped on the pedals with both feet, then knelt down, waiting for the firing order.
"set (preparation)!"
"boom!"
Wu Ziyi kicked his feet fiercely and launched into action in an instant.
Quickly twist your legs, lower your center of gravity, and accelerate with all your strength.
After 10 steps, gradually raise your head and enter the running stage. For 30 meters, quickly glance to the right without turning your head.
Continuing to accelerate, at 60 meters, Wu Ziyi entered the rapid stage.
At this time, except for Kiryu Xiangxiu, the other players have been moved 1 to 3 positions away, while Kiryu Xiangxiu remains on par with Wu Ziyi.
At 80 meters, Wu Ziyi turned around to observe the positions of other runners. He had a great advantage. He just had to ensure that he qualified in the preliminaries. If he could, he would save as much energy as possible.
Wu Ziyi began to slightly reduce his stride frequency, relying on inertia to increase his stride length to complete the final sprint phase.
Kiryu Xiangxiu seemed to be letting off steam, but not like Wu Ziyi, who didn’t even press the line. With 10″53, Kiryu Xiangxiu passed the finish line first, followed by Wu Ziyi’s 10″57. Wu Ziyi didn’t care about the results in the preliminaries. In the final
This is the stage where he can exert his best efforts.
After crossing the finish line, Wu Ziyi shook hands with other runners one by one, and Kiryu Xiangxiu was no exception. But Wu Ziyi felt extremely happy when he looked at Kiryu Xiangxiu who smiled so much that his glasses narrowed to a slit.
Wu Ziyi couldn't help but said: "Is that you? Hong Lei?" Kiryu Xiangxiu naturally couldn't understand Chinese, so he asked doubtfully: "Nani?"
"Nothing, good luck to you." Kiryu Xiangxiu understood the simple English and answered in strong Japanese English: "Thank you, Arigado Saiimas!"
Fortunately, it’s not a bow of red bean paste sai mas.
Patting his arm, Wu Ziyi walked out of the field.
There was nearly 7 hours between the preliminaries and the semi-finals. Wu Ziyi was not in a hurry to go back to the hotel to rest. He came to the auditorium and found Wen Ying to watch the game together.
At home, Wu Ziyi and Wen Ying have a tacit agreement not to appear together in public, but they have no worries abroad. After all, Wu Ziyi's overseas reputation is pitifully low, and no one, not even a Chinese student, would be too busy to take a photo and send it back to China.
.
As the competition progressed, more and more familiar faces appeared in Wu Ziyi's field of vision. Koike Yuka, Kendall Williams, and the world youth 100-meter record of 9″97 just set on July 13
Trayvon Bromell…
The competitiveness of the World Youth Championship should be the highest since Wu Ziyi was reborn. It is not easy to compete for gold and silver in the men's 100 meters.
Points must be added, but it’s not time to add points yet, because the 100-meter final will not be until 19:30 on the evening of the 23rd, and the 200-meter final will be at 18:30 on the 24th. Wu Ziyi thinks this time can be used well,
After all, the effect of "adrenaline" can last for a day, so it is a reasonable idea to add some adrenaline about an hour before the 100-meter final.
Talents from various countries in the competition were promoted accordingly. The average level of the preliminaries was not very high, and the scores required for each group to advance were also different. Wu Ziyi advanced to the second place in the group with a score of 10"57, while Brommel's 9th place
In the group, the 4th and 5th place runners ran 10＂53/10＂59 and were unfortunately eliminated.
The competitiveness of each group is still different. Strength is the foundation of athletes, but luck is sometimes also a part of strength.
In the audience, Wu Ziyi and Wen Ying cuddled up to watch the game, holding French fries and Coke in their hands and feeding Wen Ying's mouth continuously.
"You've eaten so much junk food these days, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?" Wen Ying heard Wu Ziyi's words, rolled her eyes and replied: "Yes, junk food, someone is drooling because of it~"
This is the miserable life of an athlete. The more he wants to eat, the more he cannot eat it. Wu Ziyi cannot guarantee whether the Feizhai Happy Meal contains banned ingredients. If the urine test fails after eating, Wu Ziyi will have no place to cry.
