just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 144 The Last Game Day
18:30 Paris time, 1:30 am Yanjing time.

The four members of the relay team who had won the first place in the group left the track with excitement and excitement waiting for the results to be confirmed.When they passed through the mixed zone, they were stopped by reporters from CCTV and some other media. Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, who were already famous domestically and not even unknown internationally, were obviously more popular and cared for by reporters.

People will look forward to and yearn for things that have not been experienced, and if they have really experienced it, everything will fade away.This was the case for Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, as usual, after a simple routine interview, they quickly went to the locker room to change their clothes and returned to the stadium to join the Huaxia delegation.

Rather than accepting interviews, they hope to observe the opponents they may face in the finals.Of course, the competitions of teammates in other sports of the track and field team are also indispensable.

On the Stade de France track, the second group of the first round of the men's 4×100m relay will start soon.

When several people joined the delegation, the leaders and other coaches and athletes just exchanged simple greetings and congratulations without saying anything more.It was expected and reasonable to enter the finals. After being separated from the group, almost everyone in the delegation did not think that the Huaxia Relay Team would not even be able to make it to the top three.After the results came out, they were excited, but less surprised.

They didn't care about this, and they walked to the coaches Liu Ren, Lin Mu, and Meng Shaoqiang.They just nodded to each other.Even if Liu Ren, who was more active, felt excited at this time, he temporarily suppressed it and didn't say much to them.Signal them to follow the next game together.Some things can be said later.

Lin Mu nodded and smiled at several people, and turned his attention to the track again.

A few athletes walked away a little bit and got together with other athletes. It was not a specific situation. Athletes generally seldom like to get together with coaches, which seemed restrained!

After the few people settled down, they focused their attention on the track without continuing to chat with others.Because the eight relay teams in the second group of the first round of the men's 4×100m relay race have already appeared on the track, the athletes are taking the time to warm up for the field test and measure the steps before the race.

The teams in the second group of the first round of the men's 4×100m relay are:

The first way, the British team;
Lane [-], Team Jamaica;

The third way, the Japanese team;
Lane [-], French team;
The fifth track, the Italian team;

Lane [-], Team USA;
Lane [-], Ghana;
Lane [-], Brazil;
Lin Mu looked at the 8 teams whose overall strength was stronger than the first group, and analyzed their situation one by one.What he is more concerned about is the United States and the United Kingdom.The United States is the country with the most top athletes in the world.The overall strength is slightly lower, but the United Kingdom has a longer and more tacit cooperation.This is a powerful opponent that the Huaxia team may have to face if they want to achieve breakthrough results.

Of course, other countries should not be underestimated, Jamaica, Ghana, Brazil and even France.But compared to the United States and the United Kingdom, they are slightly worse.

When he saw the first-round lineup of the United States, Lin Mu was slightly stunned.Lin Mu couldn't remember what the United States' lineup was like in 2003, but the results he was considering clearly didn't match the actual situation now.

The lineup that now appears in front of us is Williams, Button, Miller and J.J Johnson, without Montgomery, without Green, without Capel.Among the American men's 200-[-]m athletes who participated in the World Championships this time, in Lin Mu's impression, those who performed more outstandingly were not listed.It is expected that Green's [-]-meter semi-final injury recurrence could not participate, but the others...

Sometimes Lin Mu also sighed at the strength of American track and field. These temporary athletes can run well in the relay race with just simple training and running-in, and even win gold and silver.In the memory of this World Championships, the men's 4*100m relay.The U.S. was crowned champion, and he doesn't remember if that was the case with the final lineup.But no matter who it is, no one can deny that this is a country that truly has a strong background.

However, now is the first round of the competition, and Lin Mu doesn't know their final situation. After all, the team lineup of the relay race can be adjusted before the competition as long as they are players of the same event.He was just surprised for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.

In Lin Mu's view, there is no difference in who will play in the finals. Judging from the list of players that the US team can choose, the strength has not yet been completely divided into two poles.They are all athletes who are very close within 10 seconds of [-] meters. For athletes from other countries, the difference is really not big.

Compared with the United States, another object of Lin Mu's focus is the British team, which is crushed by talent and strength. His lineup is Francis, Campbell, Gardner and Chambers.

Although Gardner had little impression on Lin Mu in this year's 1999 meters, and he didn't make it to the semi-finals, but his personal strength is there. He once ran 9 seconds in the 98 meters in 60.Campbell has not achieved many top results in his career, but his comprehensive strength is not weak.Although a little old, the state has declined.Francis, this year's indoor 21-meter fourth, the Golden League Oslo champion, the European Cup 90-meter champion.A 4-year-old young man who is not weak.As for Chambers, the last one, his strength is beyond doubt.Compared with strength, what Lin Mu cares more about is that except for Francis, the others have almost been training together in the 100×[-]-meter relay race since the mid-[-]s, and their overall skills and adaptation are very high.

Lin Mu has been paying attention to the teams from various countries on the track. Of course, the old rivals of the Huaxia team in Asia are also indispensable.

Everyone was paying attention. Several athletes of the relay team were watching the second relay race on the field. Liu Ren and his coaching staff were also analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each team.

Soon, the gunfire of the game sounded.

The U.S. team gained an advantage in the first leg, although the 7-meter individual performance was bleak this time.But as Williams, who just won the first place in the national trials in July, his [-]-meter level has almost no opponents among the first bats in the second group.

The game went smoothly, but it was not intense. Lin Mu once again lamented the overall strength of the US team.With such a lineup, all four players are still at the level of best results within 10 seconds.The same is true, almost without suspense, at the end of the second group of preliminaries.The US team took the lead.They won the first place in the group with a time of 38 seconds.The whole process seems very easy.

After the US team's group results came out, Liu Ren, the coaching staff of the relay team, including Lin Mu and Meng Shaoqiang, felt a little heavy in their hearts.Just after the first round of the Huaxia Relay Team, Liu Ren once had the idea of ​​making history and even winning gold, but now the strength of the opponent made them look serious.

"It's really powerful." Liu Ren shook his head and smiled wryly, "The American team ran too easily!"

"Yes, but let's try our best to win a medal. The level of Nigeria and the British team is not bad. Brazil's strength is also good, but we can still fight!" Meng Shaoqiang also let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes people's expectations Disappointment and disappointment often follow closely.

From the complete lack of hope at the beginning, to Chen Jianhai's hard work and even desperate training.He also hoped that Chen Jianhai's hard work would pay off.After the start of the World Championships, everything seemed to be good news, at least for Meng Shaoqiang and Chen Jianhai.

Break through the 200-meter sprint, win the 38-meter championship, break through the 11-meter, and win the championship again!The Huaxia relay team, which has been suffering from the absence of top players, finally ushered in its own top players.So Chen Jianhai worked even harder.He also ran his best form.They ran a breakthrough result. The Huaxia team ran a super good time of [-] seconds, breaking the Asian record.

And from the observation point of view, Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, the last two batters, are somewhat relaxed, at least not in a desperate state.It is also because of this that he has some expectations in his heart, maybe it is another good opportunity to launch a satellite.There is even hope of rushing to gold.But now that the US team's group results came out, he was disappointed.This is a gap in absolute strength. 0.1 or 0.2 can be barely offset by passing the baton and athletes, but the current situation is that except for Zhao Lin who can barely compete with others, the other three, including Yang Zuyao, have personal short-distance strength The gap between the players on the field and the opponent's players is huge.

"They still have a 200-meter runner-up, Capel, who didn't make it, and..." Meng Shaoqiang looked at the four members of the first-round team of the US team on the track, and said something unconsciously.

"Okay, the situation is okay!" Lin Mu patted Liu Ren on the shoulder, smiled at Meng Shaoqiang and said, "It's the first time I participated in the men's 4×100m relay race, and now I'm in the final. The Asian record that has been in the dust for 6 years. This is already a historic achievement.

And although the US team, including the British team, is very strong, anything can happen in the relay race.What kind of finals can be run, let the players play by themselves. "

Liu Ren shook his head with a wry smile.Yes, I seem to be worried about gains and losses!Even reaching the finals before felt like a luxury.Now that he has entered the finals and even has a chance to win a medal, why is he not happy in his heart? !For your own future? !Liu Ren shook his head.It's because I saw these boys almost desperately training, and even more desperately competing.He always felt that it was a pity if he didn't get a good result.

I hope the hard work will pay off!
……

The men's 4*100m race is over, but the night is not over yet.

Paris time 18:50 p.m., Yanjing time 1:50 p.m.

The women's 5000-meter final began. Sun Yingjie, who had easily advanced to the final a few days ago, finally stumbled and was accidentally injured in the process.She was going to sprint for the last four laps, but was stopped by the coach Wang De on the sidelines and asked her to stabilize herself.It doesn't matter how a game is, and the future of the athletes cannot be ruined.

In the end, she only sprinted on the last lap and finished in No. 12, 9 seconds behind the preliminaries.Her final result was less than 6 seconds behind the champion Dibaba of Ethiopia.The youngest track and field world champion was born!

"...The Huaxia track and field team has created historic results today! The Huaxia men's 4×100m relay team participated in the World Series relay competition for the first time, and easily entered the final with a breaking Asian record. Liu Xiang won the Huaxia men's Another medal in athletics, a silver medal, our flag fluttering in second place at the Stade de France..."

When the women's 4*100m race was over, the five-star red flag was raised at the men's 110m hurdles awards ceremony. On-site commentator Yang Jian gave an affectionate commentary from the TV, and almost everyone who watched was deeply touched. This is the fourth time I saw the national flag flying in the stadium, and even the national anthem was played twice.But people are still excited!
Competitive sports, war in peacetime, is not a complete empty talk.Although it is just a competition, the overall performance can often reflect the strength of a country.

Some people say that a small country and a weak country can produce a world champion to lead the era, but he will always be an exception.A country with strong comprehensive sports strength must come from long-term investment and hard training.Similarly, it can also directly reflect the will and spiritual outlook of a country.

With the further deepening of reform and opening up, the country has made considerable progress in terms of system and economy, and is vaguely moving towards the goal of a world power.All walks of life are striving to be first.

Fall down, get up, and work hard again. For 5000 years, China has never given up.Even after the longest night, when we truly wake up, light will break through the night sky.A high-spirited attitude will inevitably lead to the rapid rise of the entire nation.Many people say that this is a miracle. Even if it is a miracle, it is only a miracle that belongs to China alone, a miracle of a great country with a glorious history and civilization of 5000 years.

……

After a noisy day of competition, the Huaxia Track and Field Team once again achieved a historical breakthrough in the sprint event.The sudden rise of the sprint marks a new page in the history of Chinese track and field, which has won honor for the motherland and the people and inspired the national spirit.

Many people in the country stayed up late in the early morning to watch the game, or fell asleep excitedly or excitedly.

Starting from the evening of Yanjing time, one important event after another, almost no one wants to miss it.In their sleep, they are still looking forward to the arrival of the last match day.Because just over ten hours later, the last competition of the Huaxia delegation will begin.

巴黎时间8月31日16点40分，燕京时间8月31日23点40分。

Channel 4 switched the screen to the Stade de France a few minutes earlier.Because the men's 100×10m relay final, with our Huaxia men's relay team participating, will officially start in [-] minutes.The Huaxia men's relay team will compete with seven other relay teams from different countries and regions in the final competition.

The camera roamed the stadium from time to time, from the track to the stands, from the flags of various countries waving to the huge red flag.The roar of languages ​​​​from various countries can still shock people's hearts through the screen.

Today is the last match day, and the Stade de France, rated at 8 people, ushered in an unprecedented fullness today.The atmosphere is even more enthusiastic than ever!

"... What is about to be held is the final of the men's 4×100 meter relay. This event is also the first time that our country's men's relay team has participated in the track and field team event of the World Series. Now, we have entered the final and will compete with the strongest players in the world in recent years. Relay teams from 7 countries and regions in China are competing fiercely for the ranking..."

The voice of Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was already a little hoarse. He spent many days of passionate commentary in excitement, excitement, nervousness and excitement.The live broadcast content planned before the World Championships has been added one after another, and the temporary arrangements have not been supplemented by follow-up personnel.Relying on his only explanation from beginning to end every day.His throat has been uncomfortable since a few days ago, but he enjoys it and never tires of it.Every time he explains about China, he has a sense of pride that cannot be concealed.

Especially when he just mentioned "the strongest relay teams in the world", it made him feel extra honored, our Huaxia, our track and field, and our sprint.

This is our Huaxia relay team!
