just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 269 The Semifinals End

"That's great, haha!"

On the sidelines, all the members of the delegation had excited expressions on their faces.Yu Weili's face was already smiling.

Into the finals, and more importantly, ran a personal best, raising the Asian record once again.

Watching the athletes move forward step by step, this is what makes him most happy.

The only pity is Chen Jianhai's slight difference, otherwise it would be more perfect!
"Coach Lin, the final is only two hours away, have you made arrangements for the athletes?!"

It was just a pity that Yu Weili dismissed the extra thoughts and asked about the arrangement of the athletes.

"Well, Bai Hongcheng was asked to stay in the rest area and wait for orders before. After the semi-finals, he will follow. The time interval is indeed too short, and the athletes will not let them toss back and forth!"

"Hehe, you have a lot of confidence. You are already preparing for the final before the competition begins!"

Yu Weili was in a good mood and made a joke with a smile.

Lin Mu smiled noncommittally. In his feeling, at least Zhao Lin was [-] to [-] percent sure.The top four advanced, except for Crawford and Green, basically there is no one who can normally beat Zhao Lin.After practicing for so long, if it is still not possible to fight for the final, it will be really sad for him and the athletes.

To say that the only thing he didn't expect was that these athletes were all fighting together.

Zhao Lin fights, he has always confessed, he is not afraid of Zhao Lin's physical exertion, he even hopes that Zhao Lin will have more chances to feel extreme fatigue.

But even the other two also fought together, which surprised him.In any case, the semi-finals and finals are separated by two hours, no matter how well the physical recovery is, the impact is still there.

He could see that Green and Crawford were basically running at their best state, and if they relaxed a little, it was only the last short stretch of crossing the line.It is certain that the consumption of physical strength and energy is great!

I don't know what will happen in the final? !This made him, who didn't have much hope for hedging cards, can't help but look forward to it.

Achievements can be rewarded, and it can also provide more assistance for the next step of growth. This is the real good thing!
"Xiao Chen is back!"

"Come on, Xiao Chen, come here!"

After the game, he just congratulated Zhao Lin, and Chen Jianhai returned to the sidelines without stopping for a moment after leaving the field.

His Olympic individual competition is over, he wants to hurry to the side of the coaches, and he also hopes to watch his teammates continue to run.

After returning, just after receiving the regretful encouragement and comfort from his teammates, he heard the voice of Director Yu calling him from the coaches.

"Director Yu, Director Lin..."

"It's a good run. It's a pity that I didn't make it to the final, but it's just a little bit of luck..."

It was also a message of comfort, and Yu Weili always had a smile on his face.

From his point of view, it was indeed a good run. He could see that the coaches around him, even Lin Mu, who had always been very strict with the athletes, were all satisfied, with relief on their faces.

From someone who couldn't make a name for himself in Asia to now, he just missed the [-]-meter final in the Olympics. The breakthrough in performance is really not insignificant.

"Master~"

Chen Jianhai's eyes were a little moist, and he was not too disappointed when he was eliminated, but it was really regrettable that the difference was 0.003.He didn't think too much on the way, but when he saw Meng Shaoqiang when he came back, he still felt a little uncomfortable after all.

The master who has been with him for more than ten years, the two have long been connected by honor and disgrace.After all, I was still a little bit worse!
"Running well..."

Patting Chen Jianhai's shoulder vigorously, Meng Shaoqiang unconsciously became a little emotional.

He grew up watching Chen Jianhai, and he could understand the meaning in Chen Jianhai's eyes. He felt that everything he did was worth it.

What's more, being able to get to this point has already surpassed his original idea, and he is really satisfied!

"Director Lin..."

"Keep working hard, one game is nothing. You are only 24 years old. According to Shen Bao and the others, you can run for another 4 or 5 years. According to Yu's guide and your master's situation, you still have 7 or 8 years. Time It's still growing..."

Lin Mu looked at Chen Jianhai who stepped forward, nodded with a smile, and gave a few words of encouragement kindly.

A few words, everything is very simple, in his opinion, there is no need for too deliberate comfort, ordinary ones may be better.Regardless of what the athletes themselves think, as a coach at this time, it is more important to give the athletes some affirmation.

Feeling a lot more relaxed, Chen Jianhai went back to the athletes, and Lin Mu, Yu Weili and the others refocused on the field.The contestants of the second group of competitions have already entered the arena, and the preparation time is almost up, and the second group of competitions will start soon.

"Old Meng, after this competition, it seems that you need to take Xiao Chen to run more! In this way, you should be more prepared for some things."

Before the game started, Lin Mu still mentioned it to Meng Shaoqiang.

In the domestic situation, except for Sun Ping, who has always insisted on using competitions as substitutes for training, other coaches generally only focus on conventional training.Except for national competitions, other competitions participated in a normal year may not add up to more than 5 games.

I don't say which way is better, but with Chen Jianhai's current situation, he needs to participate in more high-level competitions to speed up the progress of further improvement.Including Zhao Linhe, in the next stage, he will also consider participating in more competitions.

"Uh-huh!"

Meng Shaoqiang didn't react to Lin Mu's sudden words, but he was only slightly taken aback, and then nodded.

He understood that Lin Mu had given him something to say, just now, including before, he really didn't realize it.

In the past, it was always confined to the country, and most of them only participated in some domestic competitions.But according to Chen Jianhai's current situation, unless the top players in the team participate, it really doesn't make sense, and they don't lack the champions of the two sub-stations.

It is still necessary to develop into international competitions, which requires invitations, and more points also need some points.Thinking about Chen Jianhai's Olympic appearance this time, he will feel somewhat confident.

"It's time to get ready!"

Meng Shaoqiang thought silently, participating in the competition seems to be just to run, but in fact there are many things to consider.

……

"Shen Huan, come on!"

"Huanzi, come on!"

At this time, all the pre-match preparations on the field were ready, and the on-site host was already introducing the athletes.

When Shen Huan was introduced, the athletes and staff of the Huaxia delegation enthusiastically shouted slogans.

The big screen at the scene also displayed the list of contestants for the second group of semi-finals when the contestants were introducing:

First Road, Dwight Thomas, Jamaica;
Second Road, Kim Collins, Saint Kitts and Nevis;

Third Way, Asafa Powell, Jamaica
Fourth Road, Francis Obicvilu, Portugal;
Fifth Avenue, Justin Gatlin, United States;

Sixth Road, Shen Huan, Huaxia;
Seventh Road, Obardley Thompson, Barbados;

Eighth Road, Leonard Mills, Ghana;

……

"On your marks!"

On the track, the on-site introduction is completed, and the order to be in place has been issued.

The eight athletes are all ready to start at this time.

Due to the fierce confrontation of the first group of players, the enthusiasm of the audience has been mobilized higher and higher at this time.This also made them look forward to the second group of games.

Just taking advantage of the preparation time, I only took the time to pay attention to the finals of the field events that are still going on in the next field, and also gave applause and encouragement to the athletes who are still competing.

But following the referee's instructions on the runway, almost all the spectators automatically focused their eyes.

The suddenly more enthusiastic atmosphere in the field made the contestants in the men's triple jump competition, who were preparing for the third attempt, depressed for a while.

Any field event is afraid of being tied with the sprint final, especially the 200-meter event.As for their final, they thought it would be a little bit better as a semi-final, but what they didn't expect was that it was still so intense.This made them helplessly stop for the second time.

"Set!"

Only when they stopped to signal to the referee, the scene fell silent.

On the track of the [-]-meter sprint, the starter reminded the athletes to get ready for the start.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a shot was fired.

Game start!
At the beginning of the gunshot, the cheers broke out again, and it was the athletes on the field who started faster than the cheers.

In Liudao, Shen Huan rushed out instantly. After each race, he has become more and more aware of the instantaneous movement from stillness to starting.

This is a very strange feeling, he seems to be born sensitive to gunshots.

This time, his start was still very good. On the on-site display device, the reaction time of 0.122 seconds topped the list, which was nearly 0.02 seconds faster than Powell, who was ranked second and also had an excellent start reaction.

As for DeMilles, who was in bad shape, he may have been affected, or he may not be in the right condition. He started the slowest, with a reaction time of 0.18 seconds, which was more than 0.05 seconds slower than Shen Huan.This is really a huge gap in the sprint competition.

The excellent start allowed Shen Huan to gain a slight advantage in body position within two steps.Coupled with an excellent start, Shen Huan has already increased his speed very quickly in just a dozen meters, although due to the adjustment of the stride length, his starting speed has been relatively slowed down.

But with the improvement of the overall quality, it is still quite impressive, and it is much faster than other people in the same group.

After a distance of 30 meters, when Shen Huan gradually raised his figure, his lead became more and more obvious.

Treating every match as the last, without reservation, without sparing physical strength, Shen Huanmang is urging the power to accelerate desperately.

All athletes are accelerating.

From the start, every athlete has made his own decision in his heart.

For this semi-final, they have long been mentally prepared in their hearts, and this must be a fierce duel.

The 10 people who ran under 3 seconds in the rematch, the same 10 people who ran under 05 seconds, and even the two with the worst results were 3 seconds.A group with an absolutely high level.This makes them all feel a little depressed now, as the old saying goes, the interval between the semi-finals and the finals is too short.If you fight too hard, how can you show your strength in the final.

But it’s even worse if you don’t fight hard. If you can’t even make it to the finals, what’s the future.

Especially the contestants who are close to Shen Huan are even more annoying at this time.From the beginning of the race, they were stimulated by the red shadow hanging in front, they were both fast and desperate.

The Wudao Gatling is very troubled at this time!

His two compatriots are also the two opponents in his mind. They are in the first group. According to his analysis, even if the Huaxia Zhao is added, at most 3 people can often run within 10 seconds. It's an easy group trip anyway.

But what about their group?

Powell, who he has watched the game, is an absolutely powerful player, and Obikvelu, who has often played against him, is another one.He also doesn't underestimate Collins from that small country, even the Huaxia Shen who has already fought against him, with that desperate posture, who knows if there will be an explosion?
Before coming to Athens, although he didn't announce it, he came with the confidence to win the championship.Although he is still confident that it will not be a problem to enter the final, it will inevitably take a lot of physical strength, but his opponent is waiting for work, which makes him feel depressed.

At the same time, Kim Collins is fighting, Thompson is also fighting, and even Powell, who has already run a very good feeling, is also fighting.He has compared with the Chinese and the Americans, and he dare not relax at all.

He has to run with an absolute advantage before he can consider letting go. In this semi-final, he can't think much about the future.

Gradually raising his figure, he tried his best to sweep left and right with the corners of his eyes, and Obikvilu, who was in the four lanes, sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the situation he least expected to see happened.

Judging from his observation, his current position is already faintly in the fourth or fifth place.He couldn't see the most fringe pass, but he didn't dare to take any chances.

run!

Originally, I planned to keep a little bit of physical strength, but now I can only use my maximum strength!

As the players straightened up one after another and started the high-speed run on the way, the speed collision that seemed to burst out with sparks intensified.

With several changes in position, the contestants ran 40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters...

In the stands, the audience was extremely excited because of another fierce confrontation, cheering and clamoring shook the sky.

However, those who cared about their own family were feeling faintly depressed.

The Huaxia people are a little anxious because Shen Huan's position has gradually been surpassed by Powell and Gatlin.At this moment, they exploded with greater energy to cheer him up.

The Americans, on the other hand, were chagrined that their top seed was once again being sucked into the mud.

Portuguese……

Jamaicans...

……

Yu Weili, who was watching the game from the sidelines, clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched a little.

Lin Mu's expression was very calm, but the hands in his trouser pockets inevitably trembled at this moment.

He could tell that Shen Huan had run to the limit.

Entering the current 60 meters, Shen Huan's speed has reached the highest peak, but the difference in absolute speed still makes him surpassed by others.And he knew that Shen Huan could keep such a short distance.What position he can maintain in the future, even now he can't be sure.

It doesn't matter that Chen Huan is eliminated, he doesn't care about these things, he has already displayed his strength, and if it is not enough, he will make up for it later.

What he was more nervous about was Shen Huan's psychology.

This semi-final is different from the previous rematch, losing to Crawford but reaching the semi-final after all.But now, working harder and harder, the possible result is elimination.

It is often the hardest to hit people, especially those who have always been very serious.

"No matter what the result of this game is, the game is over, I should go and see..."

Lin Mu secretly made a decision in his heart.

Not far from the mixed zone, the head coach of the US track and field team looked anxious at this moment.

In the first group, the two contestants from the United States competed against each other against the Chinese.Before he could take a deep breath, the second group came again.

After running like this, he was a little worried!Their goal is to win the top three.According to the results, they also have that strength.But now because of this situation, he is not sure!
……

In the attention of countless people, the moving figure on the field is rapidly advancing towards the finish line, but in a moment of thought, the figures of the athletes in front have crossed 70 meters...

Leading and lagging, the positions of the athletes in each pass have already changed several times in the constant acceleration and explosion of the players.

At this time, Powell, who was already in the leading position, was already in the leading position, and Gatlin, who was on the sixth track, did not slow down at a position almost parallel to him.

Getting closer and closer to the finish line, glanced left and right, the two people who were about to slow down and save their energy, but before they could relax, the heavy breathing and footsteps not far behind made them feel nervous again. Surprised.They can even feel it, it's not one or two.

Helpless, they can only continue to bury their heads and put in more effort. This semi-final is really bad!

Their feeling was right. Behind them, Obikevilu and Kim Collins were all ruthless, including Shen Huan, even if the speed had begun to decline, but at least the gap between them was very small now. So they are all rushing forward.

In their feeling, behind them, the other three players had already fallen behind.But at this moment they couldn't care less, the current situation became clear only after a short thought, 5 people competed for 4 positions, even though Shen Huan felt that he was definitely the weakest among them, but he also didn't want to be that one.

Due to the gap in strength, the fierce group of five gradually separated into layers.

Gatlin and Powell, watching the finish line approaching and feeling that there was no one beside them, finally relaxed a little.

After a little slowing down, the two of them crossed the line almost at the same time, crossing the finish line one after another!
Just moments after they crossed the finish line, Obikveru finished his game.And after he crossed the finish line, his figure was unstable and he turned his eyes to the back.

9 seconds 91
The timing card before the finish line played the first result of the group.

It was only at the moment when the results were posted that Shen Huan and Collins crossed the finish line almost side by side.

"...The race is over, a very intense race... Gatlin and Powell crossed the finish line with a very small gap. Behind them is Obi Keweiru, Chinese player Shen Huan and Erdao's Collins almost They crossed the finish line at the same time, and from my position, I couldn't tell who was first and who was behind...

The finish timing card hit the first result in the group, 9 seconds 91, Justin Gatlin, another very good result...

The scores of all the contestants have been displayed on the big screen at the scene.let's see……"

The voice was high-pitched with a hint of nervousness and apprehension. Yang Jian looked at the rows of names and data. When he saw the five-star red flag icon in the fifth row, Yang Jian felt regretful.How is it another failure that cannot be distinguished! ?
"No.1 is Gatlin with 9 seconds, and No.91 is Powell. The gap between them is very small. His score is 2 seconds. Obike Vilu won the third place with 9 seconds. , Collins came fourth with a score of 92 seconds, and my country ranked fifth...ah!"

Ben was broadcasting the results of the contestants with regret. When he read the fifth row, Yang Jian suddenly exclaimed, and the excitement and excitement burst out in his voice.

"Fourth, fourth, the results of Shen Huan and Collins are exactly the same...According to the rules of the competition, when it comes to promotion qualifications, the two people's scores will be calculated as the thousandth place. If they are still the same, no comparison will be made. The two will be tied The ranking enters the next round...

Now my country's Shen Huan and St. Kitts' Kim Collins will join hands to enter the final with a tie for fourth in the group.Chinese player Shen Huan fought tenaciously in the face of many strong competitors, and finally successfully broke into the final of the [-]-meter race...

The final will start two hours later at 23:10, Beijing time at 4:10 am, there will be two Chinese athletes, we..."
