football's number one madman

Chapter 772 Is 9 seconds 98 fast?
"Put on the TV, put on the TV, audience friends, what you are watching now is the 2019 World Athletics Championships held in Doha, Qatar...the men's 100-meter qualifier."

The commentator Yang Jian was sitting upright, and he also glanced at the guests sitting opposite:

"Today's commentary with me is the much-loved guidance of Wang Mengwang."

Before he finished his words, some people complained on the Internet:

"Why does the World Athletics Championships require a roller skater to explain? And she's a woman!"

Someone posted three "?" in a row below:
"It turned out to be a woman!"

Director Wang with short hair is cheerful and extroverted, and at first glance he is indeed full of heroism:

"Today is the first day of the Doha World Championships. According to the schedule, there are some qualifiers. I thought I had no chance to play. I didn't expect to receive the notice three days in advance."

She smiled heartily:
"I have to thank a certain world superstar for giving me an extra chance to play!"

Yang Jian nodded with a smile:

"That's right, the biggest highlight of this tournament is Lee Polo, the number one football superstar today.

According to the confirmed information, he signed up for ten individual competitions alone! "

By the way, he popularized science:
"According to the competition rules, a player can only participate in a maximum of 4 events. Lee Polo is a major exception this time."

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders:

"Probably because the World Athletics Federation can't wait to seize this opportunity and promote the popularity of track and field!"

Yang Jian looked at the schedule in his hand:

"Today Lee Polo is about to compete in the preliminaries of three events, including 100 meters, 5000 meters, and... the long jump."

He froze for a moment:
"When did he secretly practice long jump again?"
-
"Hi! Old Su!"

In the warm-up area of ​​the arena, when other players were doing their final intense warm-up, Lee Polo, with a relaxed face, even ran to the vicinity of the Chinese team to say hello to his old acquaintances.

Hearing this greeting, Su Bingtian suddenly felt that his whole back was straightened up.

He dropped the coach and teammates who were cheering and encouraging everyone, and jumped out in one stride:

"Polo! You're about to appear on stage, don't you hurry up and get ready?"

Li Poluo greeted him with a hug, and then grinned:
"Do I need to make special preparations for the preliminaries?"

"However... I am looking forward to seeing you in the final!"

Su Bingtian nodded slightly:
"I try my best."

Lee Polo is keenly aware of:

[This old friend who used to compete for gold and silver with me in Birmingham, doesn't seem to be so active today? 】

[Is the body injured and has not returned to peak condition? 】

[Or... frightened by me? 】
-
In addition to Su Bingtian, the Chinese track and field team also sent Xie Zhenye and Xu Zhouzheng to play 100 meters together.

Among them, Su and Xie played directly in the preliminaries, while Xu Zhouzheng had to break through the qualifying rounds before continuing the competition.

For Lee Polo, he obviously doesn't need to participate in any qualifying competitions.

Representing Britain with him, there are three famous British generals:

Adam Gemili, Ojie Edoburun (Edoburun (previously translated as Ed Brown), Jenny Hughes, the three of them are only one or two years younger than Lee Polo.

As a teammate of the British representative team, Lee Polo has been actively communicating with teammates and coaches of the national team for a week after finishing the retreat, using their experience to help him improve his small skills, and he has improved a little bit.

And his existence also brought a fresh blood to the British representative team, which made the coach very excited, but made the teammates feel inexplicably sad.

[Fack!This time we are going to study with Lord Li again! 】

But they immediately comforted themselves:
【wrong!We have never won important medals in previous years! 】

【How can we be jealous of Lord Li? ! 】
-
At the Khalifa International Stadium, the men's 100-meter qualifiers will begin soon.

A total of 48 players entered the preliminaries, only half of whom can enter the semi-finals.

The 48 players were divided into 8 groups according to 6 people in each group. In principle, the players of the same team will not be divided into the same group to avoid cannibalism.

At 6:[-] p.m., the first group of preliminaries officially began.

Lee Polo decided to watch other players play live.

The first group of contestants included China's Xie Zhenye, Britain's Edobrun, Canada's Brown, South Africa's Akani Simbaine, France's Bierne, and the national flag of three guys, Li Bo. Luo didn't know him at all!

The process of the preliminaries was very simple. The names were randomly announced on the live broadcast, and the camera took a shot one by one, and then the eight contestants pouted their buttocks, ready to listen to the gun and start.

"Snapped!"

After just 10 seconds, the results of the first preliminaries were announced.

Simbine advanced first with a time of 10.01 seconds, while Brown ranked second with a time of 10.16 seconds. The gap between the two sides was visible to the naked eye.

Xie Zhenye overwhelmed other rivals and qualified for the semi-finals with a No.10.19 time of 3 seconds!
As for Lee Polo's teammate Edobrun, he only ran 10.23 seconds, ranking fifth in the group.

However, he has not been eliminated directly, because in addition to the top three of the 6 groups that can advance directly, there are six additional promotion places in the end!

They all still have hope of resurrection.

The second group also gathered famous generals:

British sprint leader Gemli, American trapeze Gatlin, Canada's De Grasse, Australia's Browning, and Jamaica's Tracy.

Another 10 seconds later, Gatlin crossed the line first with 10.06 seconds, De Grasse and Gemili ranked second and third respectively, and the others had to wait for the final ranking.

In the third group, it was Xu Zhouzheng's turn to play.

Ten seconds later, British star Hughes won the first place in the group with 10 seconds. The 10.08-year-old Nigerian player Ekwo and the 20-year-old Liberian star Matadi ranked second and third. Xu Zhouzheng only ranked seventh in the group with 28 seconds. The results are obviously hopeless.

Su Bingtian played in the fourth group.

"Crack~"

Just looking at the moment of starting, Li Boluo knew that Su Bingtian's body was not excited today, and he did not go all out as he did in the last match.

The results also illustrate this point, Su Bingtian finally ran only 10.21 seconds, ranking fifth in the group.

Jamaican trapeze Blake ran 10.07, French star Vicourt came in second with a difference of 0.01 seconds.

Li Poluo didn't read carefully the following rankings, because it was his turn in the next group!
-
"A total of six groups, Lee Polo played in the fifth group, the World Athletics Federation also understands the finale!"

The narrator Yang Jian unknowingly accomplished a great achievement:

[Correct use of "finale" - refers to the penultimate appearance]

Wang Meng was unaware of his achievement, and just followed his words:
"The audience is probably eager to see through it?"

"Fortunately, the three players of our Chinese team have finished the competition, so don't worry about competing with Li Polo in the same group!"

Yang Jian looked at the list of players:

"The players in the fifth group are relatively well-known, including the famous American Rogers, the 20-year-old Italian teenager Tortu, the Brazilian star Oliveira, and the Asian Games champion Yuki Koike, the best record of this young player. , it is said to be 9 seconds 98!"

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders indifferently:

"Is 9 seconds fast? Li Polo's indoor 98-meter time... is faster than him!"

After a brief foreshadowing, all attention was on the track.

8 contestants occupy the 2nd to 9th track respectively, and Li Poluo is in the 3rd track.

On the right is an Iranian player with a beard and no specific age.

On the left, near the middle circle, is Oliveira from Brazil. Although he is of mixed race with tall legs and long legs, and his skin is also very dark, he still looks a little childish.

Rogers, the most famous, is on the fifth track.

"Ready?"

From the horn behind the starting block came the starter's voice.

Li Poluo took a deep breath, bent his knees, and kicked his left and right feet on the running block one after the other.

The stadium, which was still noisy before, also quieted down at this moment.

Everyone's ears were pricked up, waiting for the gunshot.

"Snapped!!!"

Li Poluo's feet exerted force almost reflexively!
Standing on the sidelines, the personal assistant Legg Strong slapped his thigh immediately, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved with tears in his eyes:

"I practiced with him for more than half a year, and finally learned to listen to the gun and start running!"

"This is a professional track and field athlete!"

Before he could cry, he saw a gust of wind rushing past the finish line!

Li Polo...he is at least 2 meters ahead of No.5 Oliveira!
"How many?"

Everyone is waiting for the results to come out.

The on-site referee didn't make them wait too long.

Before the last player reached the finish line, Lee Polo's results were already displayed on the big screen:
"9 seconds 86!"

And No.2 Oliveira only ran 10 seconds 09!

The whole arena is boiling!
Li Poluo, he was the only athlete who ran under 10 seconds in the qualifying and preliminaries!
Only the chairman of the British Athletics Association couldn't help complaining:
"What are you doing so hard in the preliminaries?"

"You used up your status ahead of time, what about the semi-finals and finals?"
