just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 321 The Track and Field Competition Begins

With the grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with a unique national charm, the competition for gold medals in various events officially kicked off in various Olympic venues.

The Bird's Nest National Stadium, which hosted the glorious opening ceremony, will have a short rest for a few days.As the main stadium, when they welcome the world again, the first major event of the Olympic Games, the track and field battle, will start here.

Athletes from all countries and all walks of life are accumulating strength, gearing up and waiting for this day to come.

At the same time, media people and professionals from all over the world have also started various analyzes and predictions on the situation of various competitions.

As the core track and field sprint event, it is naturally the top priority. As the day of the competition is approaching, the first [-]-meter event that is about to debut is even more interesting to discuss.

Unlike previous years who were generally optimistic about one or two athletes, this year's [-]-meter event made them feel particularly brilliant.

Yes, gorgeous, there are too many players, most of them are in their prime, and there are as many as 4 or 5 favorites to win the championship.Everyone has their own reasons, and their opinions are not the same.But there is one thing that everyone has the same idea. This is destined to be the most intense competition in recent years.

Perhaps breaking a record is also a matter of course.The current world record is 9 seconds. Let’s not say whether it can be broken for the time being, but the Olympic record of 72 seconds may soon pass away in most people’s eyes.

Analysis and prediction, data and record, the top 10 favorites in the finals and the top 5 favorites to win the championship are all on paper.

In the midst of such disputes and public opinion, the time turned to August 8th.

The track and field schedule for the 2008 Olympic Games has arrived!

From this day to August 8th, for a total of 24 days, the Bird's Nest National Stadium will welcome all the track and field masters participating in the Olympic Games, and the war is about to break out.

On the morning of March 8,
Bird's Nest National Stadium

There are more than half of the seats in the stands of the stadium with a capacity of 9, and the auditorium seems densely packed with people.

Although there were basically no heavyweight finals on the morning of the first day of the track and field competition, it still attracted many spectators from all over the country to watch the competition.

Holding small red flags in their hands, imprinted with Huaxia Red, they all stepped onto the stands, waiting for this morning's game to arrive.

Many people have already figured out the competition schedule very clearly.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the first track and field event in the stadium is the women's heptathlon 100-meter hurdles preliminaries.

After that, there is the men's shot put group AB qualifying competition. The field competition and track competition will not be affected, and the two competitions will start almost at the same time.

And until 9:45 in the morning, after the women's heptathlon 100-meter hurdles ends, the event that almost everyone is most concerned about today, the men's 100-meter preliminaries, will begin.

2008奥运会男子100米参赛资格记录时间是从2007年1月1日至2008年7月23日，参赛报名截止时间是8月5日，此期间每个国家奥委会都有三名符合A标准的参赛名额。至于能否凑够这个数，也很体现各国的综合实力。

After the Athens Olympics in 2004, Huaxia was once again fully staffed in the A standard. Compared with the low-key dark horse image last time, after several years of pioneering and enterprising, the current Huaxia is no longer what it used to be.

As people have discussed before, the [-]-meter competition this time is expected to be extremely intense. Being able to occupy a pivotal position in such a grand ceremony will naturally make everyone who cares about it proud and proud.

There are more than 80 contestants, and the top 10 finalists are all top players with personal best results and recent results within 9 seconds, among which Huaxia 9 takes the second place.As for the five recognized favorites to win the championship, the personal best time is within 10 seconds, and Huaxia also occupies one of them.

Such a grand occasion, how can it not be exciting.

Whether it is Chinese people or people from other countries, they are all concerned about this game, and they are looking forward to the arrival of this game.

Looking forward to the duel between Zhao Lin, Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, and Asafa Powell, the five top players in the same field.

Because this is not only a grand event in China, but also a great event in the history of sprinting in the world. No matter who it is, it will be an inevitable champion in other Olympic Games.The personal best results of the five are all within 9 seconds.And they are all the best results created in recent years, age and competitive state are at their peak!

This is bound to be one of the biggest highlights of this Olympic Games.

People are eagerly waiting for the peak showdown, but the game still has to come one by one.

The morning game started, and as the time of the game slowly passed, when the hurdles in the field began to be cleared, the sound of "Huaxia, come on" gradually resounded throughout the field, becoming more and more tidy and more passionate!
From this moment on, the atmosphere became warmer!
……

"Old Feng, Lao Yu, Xiao Lin, it's time to start!"

Sitting very near the front of the stands of the stadium, Luo Yi looked at the situation on the field and said to Lin Mu with a smile.

The coaches of the national track and field team and the sprint event are all here at the moment, except for Sun Ping who is worried that Liu Xiang is not there, and several track and field team head coaches and deputy head coaches are also here.

Today is the first day. As the director of the field management center, the assistant to the director of the General Administration of Sports, and one of the core members of the Olympic delegation, Luo Yi is not idle.

However, he still let go of everything and resolutely decided to watch the whole sprint race, at least he would watch the whole [-]-meter race.Because of the rise of sprint, he has gained a lot. Regardless of selfishness or publicity, he wants to witness it with his own eyes.

The time has come to 9:35, and the shouts of tens of thousands of spectators are getting higher and higher, as if all the people who care about have been holding back a wave of enthusiasm, and now they can finally release it slowly.

"Well, Director, it's started. It's time to make a debut. It's been brewing for so long!"

Feng Yong agreed with a smile, and he seemed to relax. After arguing for so long, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is the athletes' business from now on.

"Xiao Lin, it's intense enough, what do you want to say?"

While the others were laughing and laughing, Luo Yi asked about Lin Mu.The smile on his face couldn't help blooming, and it became much brighter.

In a flash, more than 5 years have passed. The young man who was low-key and modest in the first World Championships is now very important, but it seems that he is still the same, low-key, indifferent, and more stable and confident.

"Director, everything is ready, and the state will slowly accumulate. 4 games will be accumulated one by one, and the final peak match. The media predictions are basically reliable!"

Lin Mu smiled easily. He understood what Luo Yi asked, but who could say for such a peak [-]-meter run.

According to his analysis, among the so-called top 5 favorites, there are almost three people who can compete for the crown. The difference between them is really not that big, at least it doesn't look that big at the moment.Based on past life memories and the current situation, it is normal to be able to run within 9 seconds, and he can't predict what he can run.

Zhao Lin is already the best that can be adjusted so far, and the point that is still worse cannot be made up in a short while.As for Shen Huan and Chen Jianhai, let alone, according to the analysis, the possibility of entering the finals is very high, but they have to fight hard.

"I just want to listen to you. Everything is ready. We just need to do our best!"

Luo Yi nodded in satisfaction. He had been busy before, but he was also concerned about track and field sprint events and hurdles.But the data situation does not reflect much of the problem.With all the turmoil outside and all kinds of momentum in the country, to be honest, it is impossible for him not to be under pressure.

As a senior project center director, he is very aware of the disastrous consequences of greater hope and greater disappointment.

Seeing that the situation of Liu Xiang, known as the biggest favorite to win the gold medal, became more and more uncertain, the importance of another favorite to win the championship was also infinitely elevated in his heart.What's more, he also knows that the two Xiaolins have done a lot of things for sprinting these years.He also very much hoped that everything would go well.

"Director, what Xiaolin said is reliable, basically reliable. What he said over the years has been verified one by one. Now it is at our doorstep, as long as the results can improve and get on the podium, it is a victory!"

Yu Weili leaned over, with a face full of creases, full of smiles.

The recent tests of several athletes in the family are in good condition, and they are at the current peak in all aspects. He is confident.But facing Luo Yi, he tried his best to suppress the target.

He knew that according to Lin Mu's idea, he wanted to open the way to rise one step at a time, but the game was really unpredictable.The opponents we are encountering now are also unprecedented top players. This is really like the era of sprinting that Lin Mu once said.

From his inner thoughts, even if it doesn’t work out this time, it’s okay. At worst, it will take a few more years. At present, Zhao Lin is not old, and the newcomers behind him are also stepping up. Lin Mu is still young, and he is not yet 30 this year. Give up, there will be that day in the future.

"Ha ha!"

Luo Yi glanced at the people around him, and immediately smiled heartily.With confidence, without talking too much, this is similar to what he saw.

"Come on, where is Xiao Chen in the first group? Hey, that Jamaican is really tall!"

……

In the attention of all parties, the track was cleared, and the time has come to 9:40 in the morning,
No.20 Men's 100-meter preliminaries for the Ninth Yanjing Olympic Games have begun!

男子100米的比赛时间总共在两天，比赛共有4枪，8月15日上午9点45分开始是预赛，晚上19点45分开始是复赛第二轮。8月16日晚上20点05分半决赛，决赛则是两个多小时后，晚上22点30分。

In the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries, there were a total of ten preliminaries, and as many as 82 contestants participated.

In the preliminaries, the top three in each group will advance directly, plus the next ten athletes with the best results, a total of 40 athletes will enter the second round.

When the first group of contestants in the preliminaries entered the arena through the corridor, the audience cheered even more enthusiastically.

Because, there are us Chinese people walking in the queue of 8 people!
"Huaxia, come on!"

"Chen Jianhai, come on!"

"..."

As soon as he entered the field, Chen Jianhai was greeted with overwhelming cheers, and the more orderly and loud slogans echoed throughout the stadium, bursts of stimulation made his blood boil.

The day has finally come. He has been looking forward to this day since his qualification for the Yanjing Olympic Games was confirmed.All his hard work and persistence finally allowed him to realize his dream.

I am grateful for the cultivation of the country, the care of the master, the teaching of Director Lin, and the encouragement and encouragement of all the friends around me.

In an instant, Chen Jianhai's eyes became moist!
This is my last Olympic Games, run well, Chen Jianhai!

Walking at the front of the queue, Chen Jianhai let go of all the tension and pressure in his heart. At this moment, all the previous scruples were gone.In the last stage of the sports career, fight to the last effort without leaving any regrets.

Eight contestants walked into the arena in a warm atmosphere and embarked on their respective tracks.

The 8 lanes were lined up in turn, and the contestants made their own pre-match preparations.

In the Olympic Games this time, in the track competition, one was given up when arranging the lanes, and the runners were arranged in the same way as in the general relay, using two to nine lanes.

After checking the starting facilities, exercising their bodies, and a simple warm-up, the players have basically completed their final preparations.

The on-site broadcaster, also bilingual in Chinese and English, began to introduce the eight preliminaries.

"... Ladies and gentlemen, the upcoming No.20 Ninth Olympic Games, the men's [-]-meter preliminaries, the first group competition, eight contestants have stepped onto the runway and are ready...

Second way, let us welcome..."

"Oh~ come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Chen Jianhai, come on!"

Before the host could speak, the audience on the scene had already erupted into even bigger cheers. The cheering slogans continued for a long time, and the applause was enthusiastic.

The host, who was slightly affected, paused for a second, then quickly picked up the follow-up words, and his voice unconsciously became louder.

Let us welcome Chen Jian Hai from the People's Republic of China. He was the champion of the men's 2003*4m race in the 100 World Championships, the champion of the men's 2004*4m relay in the 100 Athens Olympic Games, and the champion of the men's 2005*6m relay in the 4 World Championships. 100th in the 2007m, member of the men's 9*91m relay champion, fourth in the men's 9m in the 96 World Championships, his personal best time is [-] seconds, and this year's best time is [-] seconds..."

The voice became more and more high-pitched, and a series of honors were read out, and the cheers on the scene shook the sky.

Lightly pushing the breasts forward, Chen Jianhai bowed his head and kissed the national flag.When he raised his head again, he pressed his left hand on the national flag, raised his right hand high and clenched his fist vigorously.

It turns out that I also have so many honors!

He was a little dazed, scenes of the past, and fierce scenes of games flashed through his mind from time to time.

The introductions of the athletes were carried out one by one. The enthusiastic Huaxia audience did not hesitate to give applause and cheers to every athlete who came to Huaxia.

Even this one who just snatched away the Huaxia [-]-meter world record this year.

"The third way, Usain Bolt from the Republic of Jamaica, he is the world record holder of 9 seconds 72, he is...!"

The voice of the announcer's introduction was still high. Chen Jianhai calmed down and looked at the tall man not far away from him with enough attention and respect in his heart.

After the schedule and grouping situation came down, they had already analyzed the situation of all the groups.The overall strength of his group is not too strong, judging from his personal best results and this year's results.There are only a few who can compete for the qualifying spot, and he is naturally the one with great strength.

And the other is this big black man.This is an outlier that surprised many people. He is 196 cm tall and has entered the absolute top ranks after only half a year of practicing [-] meters.

Not long ago this year, the person who had just broken the world record held by Zhao Lin was the favorite to win this competition.

Regardless of race, skin color, or country, everyone who can break through their own limits and break traditional definitions deserves respect.

"It's really tall and lively!"

Looking at the funny Bolt, Chen Jianhai smiled. He is a very interesting player, and he is looking forward to this game.

The introduction of the contestants continued. After the introduction of Daniel Bailey, the 8th player in the nine lanes, the applause at the scene stopped for a while.

All the athletes also took back their actions one after another, and the competition will begin immediately!
