just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 259 Before the Second Round

"The race is over... In the men's 10m preliminaries, the seventh group, Zhao from Dongfang Huaxia won the first place in the group, and the first [-]-second result in this competition was born... The second place in the group is..."

Before the finish line, Zhao Lin just waved and interacted with the audience, and Zhao Lin closed his eyes slightly, carefully reviewing the run just now, especially when the person on the adjacent track rushed out at the same time as him. It made him feel a lot.

He had watched the video of that person's steps countless times, and the coach had dug them out when the opponent was unknown.And although the start and speed he uses now are different from the opponent's, the principle is the same.

It's still the coach's unique vision. This year, Asafa Powell has already run 9 seconds. According to the coach, this man has officially entered the peak, and it is not uncommon for him to have a breakthrough in his performance.But now, I seem to be slow!
This time he ran 9 seconds, leading almost the whole race. Although he didn't try his best, he felt that he was running out of energy.And from the moment he started running, he felt the powerful explosion of the nearby pass, and he knew that he had always lacked that strength.

He didn't pay attention to the other party deliberately, but the other party ran with him the whole distance, and he could always clearly feel the sense of strength and explosiveness.He couldn't guess how much strength he used.

He didn't want to think about how the opponent's performance was, what he hoped was to find some inspiration from what he lacked in the opponent.

He is not the only one who has this thought. Asafa Powell was waiting to confirm the results at the finish line, and Asafa Powell glanced at Zhao Lin casually.

The technical rhythm that Coach Francis tailor-made for me, it seems that I am not the only one who runs like this.

Asafa Powell was truly surprised.

It is also impossible to deliberately observe the running opponent, but like Zhao Lin, he also felt the taste of the burst of starting.What's more, in the first half, the opponent sometimes took the lead, and when he was out of position, he could see a lot of things from the corner of his eyes occasionally.

He wasn't sure what the other person was like last year. He kept the experience of last year in his heart, and he didn't want to touch it again. It was a nightmare trip for him.

But now, he thought of those last year, because of this opponent, because of these feelings, he pried open that gap again, and the feeling of regret, annoyance, grievance, and frustration came to his heart again.

The team opponents who had their own concerns did not greet each other.At this moment, they have no intention of doing such entertainment at all.

Those who went directly to the next round were not overjoyed for the promotion, or they were reviewing themselves or analyzing their opponents.

Those who are still in the range to be determined are praying for their own destiny.

The audience at the scene did not have as many thoughts as they did. They were making noises and shouting at this moment.One thing was clearly known in their minds. The Olympic Games, the 10-meter race, the fastest and shortest distance event, with the results within [-] seconds, really entered the fierce moment!
"The contestants will leave the field. Next, the eighth group of the men's [-]-meter preliminaries..."

……

"Sean, how are you? These Huaxia players are interesting, right?!"

The stands, the area where the USA Track and Field team is located.Gatlin and Crawford, who had previously finished the game, were gathering together to observe their possible opponents.

"Oh, I remembered! It seems that you have already competed with them in the indoor competition in March, right? The Shen who was in my group, and this Zhao now!"

Justin Gatlin patted his head suddenly.

"Well, it's quite interesting. It feels like they are desperately fighting every game. I didn't watch your game specifically, but it should be similar!"

Crawford responded casually.He didn't want to mention the indoor competition. Although he didn't care about the indoor competition, it was a fact that he lost.

But even if he lost 60 meters, the opponents he cared about had never had these Chinese people.He doesn't think his 60 meters will be better than them in the short term, but now it's [-] meters after all.

In his heart, these Huaxia players can achieve good results, but it is still a bit worse if they want to pose a threat to the top players like them.Instead, he puts much more emphasis on Asafa Powell and his teammates in the United States.

"Hehe~ Yes, the feeling of desperateness!" Gatlin could see that Crawford didn't care, and he didn't emphasize anything. After all, only when you experience it yourself can you understand what kind of desperateness it is. .

"Justin, did you see that Powell start? It's special!"

"Well, it's very special!"

Gatling repeated it softly, thinking about Powell and Zhao Lin's run just now.

Unlike Crawford who only paid attention to Powell, he looked more carefully, including Zhao Lin.He could feel how similar the skills of the two were, and they both achieved good results. What made him even more concerned was that they didn't seem to have reached their limit.

In his mind, perhaps one or two more opponents is something to be thankful for.It's just that he didn't want to remind Crawford anything, it didn't make any sense.He doesn't know much about this teammate, but from ordinary observations, not to mention the fact that his eyes are above the top, but he doesn't think most of them are true.

Sensing that Gatlin suddenly seemed to have lost much interest in talking, Crawford did not speak again.

Although the two are now together, it is only because they are players representing the United States together.But that's what the real relationship is.The American sprinters are so strong that the competition between them is all the time every year.

It also includes Green on the field, a proud old man, competing with each other, and even occasionally conflicting, and it is impossible to get close.

The two were silent, each observing the competition of the last few groups.

In different corners of the stands, there are naturally many people who pay the same attention.

"ended!"

In their attention, all group competitions in the men's [-]-meter preliminaries have ended.

As the on-site staff and referees compared and ranked the results of all players, the final list of players who entered the semi-finals was displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

Name, nationality, preliminaries results, a table box listing forty contestants appeared!
"it is good!"

"Clap clap clap!"

In the stands and on the sidelines, all the people who cared about Huaxia couldn't help applauding when they saw that there were three Huaxia players with five-star red flag icons among the forty rosters.

Although they have witnessed the results of the previous competition, they are still excited at this moment.

From the fact that there were no runners who even ran out of the Olympic men's [-]-meter A mark, to the first time three Chinese participated in the competition, this is a big improvement.Now the three of them have entered the second round at the same time, which is a big leap in the history of the entire track and field and sprint sports in the Olympic history.

"Xiao Lin, good job! Lao Meng, good job! Xiao Zhao, Xiao Chen, Xiao Shen..." Yu Weili clapped vigorously, feeling extremely excited.

Originally, the results and rankings had been known for a long time, but there was no last-minute announcement, and he had been working hard to suppress it.After the actual play, he completely let go of his emotions.

"The athletes are working hard. Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Shen all ran very well!" Lin Mu also applauded and praised with a lively expression. He was not excited.

It is expected to advance to the semi-finals, but the real feeling will not be less than half a point because of the expected arrival.

Especially seeing the small icons behind the name in the promotion list.In the entire 40-man list, there are only three countries with three identical icons.

And our Huaxia is one of them!

All the hard work and achievements are only for the realization of his dream, and he is finally one step closer to his dream. This makes him happier than running into the next round and breaking the national record.

"Let's go! Let's go back, take a good rest and recharge your batteries! And you, Director Lin, also take a good rest, tonight..."

Excitedly waving his hands and leading the group, Yu Weili felt that he had found the same feeling as he did at last year's World Championships.He is now looking forward to the next game!

After the men's [-]-meter preliminaries, the track and field competition in the morning ends. During the entire Olympic period, the track and field competition is basically arranged in the morning and evening.Today is no exception.

The audience left the stage one after another, and the faintly visible Chinese cheers, which had been suppressed by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the scene, still came out from time to time, which was a little clearer than before.In that stand, although they couldn't see the figure of the Huaxia Track and Field Team clearly.But it does not prevent them from sending their enthusiasm at the last moment of exit.

"Let everyone who is talking loudly be able to shout out 'Huaxia! Come on!'"

Facing many domestic media reporters who were blocked at the entrance of the passage, Yu Weili used what Lin Mu had said sonorously.

……

"...The Athens Olympic Games are in full swing. As of press time, today's Olympic Games have produced a total of 13 gold medals in 32 events. The Chinese Olympic delegation has another good news, winning a total of two gold medals, one silver and two bronze medals..."

On the evening of August 8, Yanjing time, since the start of the Olympic Games, the ratings of the simulcast news have risen rapidly.Even many people who were not very interested in the simulcast news are used to watching it on the TV every 21 o'clock.

The event is broadcast, and the gold medal is recorded. Every day, people look forward to seeing Huaxiahong shine again on the field, and it is the same today.

At the exciting moment of the game, the loud and clear national anthem was played, even if it was accompanied by the host's serious and upright voice, people were unconsciously excited.

"...Let's look at the track and field competition... Today is a day that should be remembered forever for the Olympic history of Huaxia Athletics. In the preliminaries of the men's 15-meter track and field competition of the Athens Olympic Games, from 35:16 p.m. to Yanjing time At 45:70, in just [-] minutes, three short time segments, Zhao Lin, Chen Jianhai, Shen Huan, three yellow lightnings opened a new page for the history of Chinese track and field...

Before that, at 1:35 a.m., in the preliminaries of the men's 400-meter race, Lin Mu set a new national record for the 44-meter race with a time of 92 seconds, successfully advancing to the semifinals as the first in the group...Chinese Men's Sprint This event, following its breakthrough in individual events at the 400 World Championships, has once again taken a solid step forward in the course of the Olympic Games..."

A simple oral broadcast report, without even a picture of the game, combined with the dull broadcast of the host, the narration seemed ordinary.Even if the host emphasizes a new history, a new page, which has never been truly understood, it just feels like a preliminaries.

He might even mutter to himself, didn't even make it to the finals. During the Olympics, is there still little history?There seem to be many such things, but it seems that no one can remember them.

However, those who can really understand with their hearts will know.It is for these small histories, how much hardship the Chinese people have paid.

In 1924, Chinese people appeared in the Olympic Games for the first time, opening the history of China's Olympic Games in the form of performances.

In 1932, the Chinese Olympic delegation composed of one athlete, two staff members, one overseas student, and two overseas Chinese left the name of the Chinese Olympic delegation in the history of the Olympic Games in the world at the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

It was also at this Olympic Games, also at the men's [-]-meter preliminaries, that Liu Changchun, the only athlete, stood on the starting line in the face of many curiosity, contempt, and arrogance.

However, when the lingering sound of the starting gun dissipated, Liu Changchun finished fifth among the six contestants in the group and was eliminated with one shot. This ended his Olympic journey and opened the Chinese Olympic Games.

It was from the moment he set foot on the Olympic track for the first time, Huaxia started a arduous attempt!
Over the past 74 years, the world has undergone tremendous changes, and China has undergone tremendous changes.

And China's Olympic footsteps are constantly moving forward with the efforts of generations.

The first [-]-member Olympic delegation, the first medal, the first gold medal, the first breakthrough in collective events, the first gold medal in collective events.

The first gold medal in track and field, the first time that multiple people entered the individual preliminaries of the sprint event, the first time to enter the second round of the sprint...

Countless firsts, accompanied by China's progress from weak to strong.Showing to the world time and time again, the ancient Chinese land and the hundreds of millions of Chinese people are unyielding, unyielding, unyielding, and never stop!
"Tomorrow at 2:40 am Yanjing time, the second program of this station will broadcast live the men's 400-meter semi-final match, and will record and broadcast the 10-meter rematch at [-] am tomorrow..."

In just ten seconds, the track and field report passed, and the simulcast news entered the next one.

For those who cared about the game, after they were excited, they kept a firm record of the time, and some even set the watch and set the alarm clock.Just like last year's World Championships, they wanted to witness every moment in Huaxia with their own eyes.

And those who care about each name in the broadcast, at the moment, they don't care how much they have achieved, and they can't even really appreciate those fiery national feelings.

They only know that people who have been away all the time are now in a distant foreign country. They will be able to watch it on TV. It is a comfort to them, but it also makes them more worried.

……

徽省
Luzhou
"Dad, it's really Lin Mu!"

With an excited face, Lin Wei didn't hold the remote control tightly, his hands trembling slightly.My younger brother was really on the hookup news.Even if there is only one name and no one appears, but it can appear in the news broadcast, which is enough to prove a lot of things.

In less than a year, his situation and perhaps his future life will be different. This is all brought by his younger brother, and he has imagined the weight of it.But he didn't fully understand the real weight until now.

Having worked and studied in Luzhou for more than half a year, he is no longer a bricklayer in a small county town.He has come into contact with more people and things, he has learned a lot, and he has a better understanding of many things.

He's learned about sports, about coaching and the career of an athlete.He also knows what great coaches and athletes can bring.He thought that to be able to be like this, his younger brother should be outstanding, otherwise all this cannot be explained.

He knew that his younger brother had represented his country in the Olympics, but there were so many people, and not many people would be so good at each Olympics to let people know.He didn't expect that among these outstanding people, Lin Mu was more important than he imagined.

Usually he doesn't read the news, but today it's just because the leader of a certain sports bureau in Huizhou came to express condolences again.The current situation of the younger brother mentioned, the Olympics, also mentioned that it might be seen on TV.This made him watch the news with his old father at night.

Seeing it with his own eyes now, he is excited, proud of his younger brother, and even more proud of himself!

"Oh~ it's Xiao Er!" With some wet eyes, Father Lin nodded, and slowly stood up from the sofa. "I will go and sleep now!"

Regardless of the excited wife, son, and daughter-in-law in the living room, Father Lin lost a word and walked towards the room.

"Oh?! Dad, you..."

"What are you shouting for! Tell him to go to bed and call him when the time comes!" Mother Lin patted her eldest son. After all these years, she still doesn't know what his wife is like.

"Oh! Yes, I've never watched a game before." Lin Wei was stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, he fell silent.

From the time my younger brother started practicing sports to now, it seems that I have never watched it once in so many years.

I haven't seen the place where I train, I haven't seen the place where I live, and I don't know who I meet, and I haven't even seen a game.

He vaguely remembered that one year, Lin Mu told him about a competition he was going to participate in. It was his first national competition, and he was excited and looking forward to it.Now that he thinks about it, the look in his younger brother's eyes... Maybe the younger brother just wanted his family to see it.To be able to share his joy with him.

After so many years, it seems that there is really too little to care about!

Lin Wei sighed leisurely in his heart.

Their relationship as brothers has never been bad, but they really seem to care about each other... When my younger brother achieves something, he will want to share it with his family, but what about us?Seems like not enough is done...

From today onwards, I should pay more attention to him. I can't understand my brother's dream, and I can't help him!
But as an older brother, maybe I should let my younger brother know that on his way to his future dreams, his family members will silently watch him and stay with him all the time!
