just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 328 The Semifinals End

The sound is so beautiful!

On the runway, Zhao Lin relaxed a little, and still praised him in his heart.

After emptying his mind, all kinds of intense cheering and instrumental music filled his ears one after another.

The entire audience in the stands seemed to be supporting him, making him generate infinite power out of thin air, and his blood boiled.

No tactics, no hesitation, in front of these supporters, all I need to do is to run the best of myself, well, in the semi-finals, I should accumulate more strength to meet the last-minute explosion.

Let everyone shouting at the top of their voices happily shout "Huaxia, come on!"

"On your marks!"

Before the starting line, there was a sound of reminders for the athletes to take their positions.

During the introduction by the commentators from various countries, the audience on and off the field fell silent almost at the same time.

"Set!"

Before the starting line, the eight runners had already bent over and squatted on the starting block, the starter began to shout the preparation command.

The 9 spectators were extremely quiet. They tried their best to suppress themselves and cooperate, not wanting to make even the slightest movement, for fear of affecting the people on the runway.

"Bang~"

The starting gun sounded, and the game began!
From being suppressed to the point of explosion, the scene suddenly became louder. Amidst the loud noise, Zhao Lin set off!

The underprivileged teenagers at the start many years ago already had their own unique understanding of the start.His starting reaction is not absolutely fast, but his first step is absolutely efficient.

There are others who are similar to him, the four-way Powell, just like Zhao Lin, also leans over like a cannonball is shot out.The two also started at almost the same time, and the reaction speed was even more between the same.

At the same time, the other players who rushed out were not too far behind. They were either newcomers in peak form or experienced veterans, and their starting efficiency was very high.

To say that the only surprise was Tyson Gay. Judging from the starting reaction and the starting efficiency of rushing out, his starting this time was a failure, and he was only ranked 6th or 7th.It's just that, after all, he is a strong player, and he adjusted his pace in a few steps, running with due efficiency.

Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

It is not easy to distinguish the front and rear positions of the players in the acceleration stage of the start. Whether it is the audience sitting in front of the TV, at this time, because of the angle of the seats or the selection of the camera lens, they can only see eight people leaning wildly. Speed ​​up and rush forward.

Only some viewers with more suitable positions can see it more clearly.Zhao Lin and Powell took the lead.When they pulled up their figure with their unique explosive starting speed, their advantages gradually increased.

Yes, the unique explosive starting speed, which is evaluated by many professionals in the world as unique, is also excellent among the top.

It is almost unanimously recognized that the starting speed technology that is the most complementary to the body influence and reaction acceleration nerves is the most ergonomic, efficient and scientific starting power technology.

Of course, the requirements are also very high, requiring full flexibility and explosiveness, and the cooperation of various muscle groups in the body, especially the core of the waist and abdomen. The strength of the waist and abdomen is almost uncoordinated, and the effect will be unsatisfactory if there is less of it.

Many top athletes have analyzed and used it for reference, but for the sake of the overall balance of the body, they can only use a small amount of reference, and more people are discouraged.Very few people can actually use it.And there are only two or three people who can run extremely efficiently.

Zhao Lin and Powell are recognized as excellent two people. Many people with extremely fast reaction speed may be slightly faster than them when they listen to the gun, but after one or two steps, there are only a few people who can continue to maintain the advantage of reaction.

China's Shen Huan is one of the very few, but Shen Huan is a truly talented type and cannot be regarded as a rule.

But this time the group obviously did not have such a person. Zhao Lin and Powell's burst of speed was very smooth, and within a few steps of pulling up, the two of them completely established the advantage.

Behind them, the other 6 players were biting each other anxiously.It is also surprising that the early collision of the three favorites did not happen.And anyone with a little sharp eyes could tell that Guy was struggling to run.

Flatt, Richard Thompson, Kurandi Martina are further ahead, and from the perspective of parallel positions, it has reached a distance of 40 meters, and Gay is only in the sixth position.Fortunately, the gap between them is not too big, from the first to the last, the gap is not too much more than one position.

Except for Zhao Lin and Powell who ran relatively easily in the front, the other players were fighting hard, almost at full speed, and the competition between the latter was very fierce.

Before the game, all the players had analyzed and considered the situation of this group. The three favorites to win the championship and the top 10 final favorites, this group accounted for 5 people. How big the competition can be imagined.

People who felt weaker started to fight when they came on the field. After running more than 30 meters, they pulled up and scanned their opponents. When they found that Guy was not as strong as imagined, they fought even harder.

The top four in the group, if they squeeze out one favorite, they will have one more chance to enter the finals, so there is no hesitation.

Except for the French white player who was really weak in strength, the others were completely mixed together.

You come first to me, then I will go first, and then you will go back. In the midst of anxiety, half the distance of the race has passed.

40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters...

Halfway through, Zhao Lin and Powell were still in the lead, and the two ran more and more easily. Zhao Lin also used a distance of tens of meters to gradually stabilize the leading position.

After adding more strength and taking a few more steps, Zhao Lin relaxed a little when the situation was almost completely established.The people behind him couldn't pay attention, and he was completely relieved by trying to glance at the situation he felt.

Years of experience are not given in vain, such a position is enough.According to the current speed is only about 30 meters, no one can squeeze him out of the top four.More than two hours later is the final, and one point is one point.He maintained a rigorous posture, active every inch of muscle, and mobilized the excitement of the muscles.

Coincidentally, Powell has almost the same thoughts as him.He really feels tired these years, and he hopes to keep his state and run well in the Olympic finals.

He has been in peak form for several years, injured, suspended, and in poor form. As a result, he has never won a major championship, and his best result is actually third in the World Championships and second in the Indoor World Championships.It made him a little bit embarrassed in front of all the top players.

Asafa Powell just glanced left and right out of the corners of his eyes, and didn't try his best to catch up with Zhao Lin. He kept the rhythm and looked at the finish line ahead!

First and second, it seems to be a foregone conclusion. It seems that the distance is only tens of centimeters and one meter, but it is really difficult to overtake at such a high speed.

The other players behind the two actually had no hope of surpassing them.However, they have not let up, and it is more important to fight for three and four.The situation at this time has changed slightly compared to before.

With his excellent starting speed, Flatt ran nearly 40 meters in front of Zhao Lin and Powell, and was gradually pulled away and mixed into the second group. He was not discouraged.Then, using his absolutely fast speed on the way, he gradually stood out from the second group and grabbed the third position.There are not many behind the lead, but seeing that he has no obvious speed decline trend, it is obvious that the opportunity is already great.

Behind him, Obikevilu, who was originally crowded in the front, fell behind. After all, he was not young, his competitive state was not as good as before, and his physical strength was obviously weaker.Thompson and Martina have completely occupied the dominant position and are expanding step by step.And just halfway behind them is Tyson Gay.

Tyson Gay's heart is very aggrieved now, he has been trying to run in the least impactful way, and he has been firmly locked on the two people in front, but now, it seems that even the people before him are somewhat Not very contentious.

Before the start of the [-]-meter race, he already had some minor problems with his ankle. He had been running the preliminaries and the rematch conservatively. It was relatively easy, and he also tried his best to avoid exerting too much force to increase the injury.In his mind, maybe in the finals he could break out recklessly.

At the beginning of the semi-finals, he still held a relatively optimistic attitude.He got off to a slower start, and he slackened off a little more as he leaned over to accelerate because he had to think about the injured part. After 40 meters, he was only ranked 5 or 6.

But he didn't care too much, and kept his eyes on Zhao Lin and Powell, two old opponents.As a result, 60 meters passed and 70 meters arrived, and he found that he was not optimistic.

He suddenly discovered that in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, he was not strong enough to take care of his injuries and win the top four.

His heart felt dark, and his face suddenly became ferocious. He exerted his strength!
70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters...

At this time, the situation on the field has become clearer. No matter what kind of mental journey, hesitation is still a decision.Only the last ten meters, the dust fell to the ground immediately.

Zhao Lin and Powell have completely run out of the rank advantage, only a few steps away from the finish line, and the result is difficult to change.

Originally third, Flatt was still third, and the gap with the people in front did not narrow, nor did he further widen the gap with the people behind him.Maintaining his body advantage, he is also preparing to start the final crossing line.

Behind him, Thompson followed closely, and next to Thompson was Guy. At a distance of more than 20 meters, Guy, who completely ignored him, regained the initiative.There is no one else in his eyes anymore, the finish line is only a few meters away, and he has to take a few more steps to cross it.

After that, Martina, who gritted his teeth and still hasn't given up, and Obikveru and Mbanchok, who are already desperate.

Three steps, two steps, one step...

Zhao Lin maintained a rigorous line-crossing movement and took the lead in crossing the finish line in a standardized manner without exaggeration.

Immediately afterwards, Powell also crossed the finish line. Without slowing down too much, he glanced sideways after Zhao Lin passed by. Almost at the same time, Zhao Lin also glanced at him, sparks were dancing in the eyes of each other.

"9 seconds 82~"

As all the players crossed the finish line one by one, the timing card scored first in the group.

"...Zhao Lin is ahead, there are still 30 meters left, Zhao Lin, Powell, and Flatt are still chasing, Guy rushed up... There are still 9 meters left, cross the line! Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin, he won First in the group, 83 seconds [-], this is a new Olympic record, he broke the Olympic record..."

In the media area, commentators from various countries were scrambling to broadcast, and the Huaxia people let out a roar of excitement, which instantly pushed the emotions of all the audience to a peak.

The scene was even more clamorous. Amidst the clamor, on the big screen at the scene, the results of the second group of the men's 100-meter semi-final were also displayed:
1. Sixth Road, Zhao Lin, Huaxia, 9 seconds, OR, Q;

2. The fourth track, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, 9 seconds 88, Q;

3. The third track, Michael Flatt, Jamaica, 9 seconds, Q;
4. The seventh track, Tyson Gay, the United States, with a score of 9 seconds, Q;

……

"...The semi-finals are all over, and the eight finalists have been selected. This is a rare [-]-meter final. Congratulations to Zhao Lin, and congratulations to Shen Huan and Chen Jianhai..."

In the overwhelming atmosphere of the stadium, the commentator enthusiastically reported the end of the semi-final.

The attention from all over the country made CCTV's ratings for tonight's Olympic games much higher than usual, and also exceeded expectations, and it is still rising.

Of course, compared to the horror ratings on the day of the opening ceremony, the ratings are naturally far worse, but this is really rare when there are many competitions to choose from.And this is the semi-finals. It is conceivable that more people will come to watch the finals, even if the time will be later.

"Director Shen, there are still more than two hours before the final. Three of our Huaxia athletes entered the final at the same time. In the history of the Olympic Games, we have created a new history. Of course, the finalists are very strong Qiang, facing these opponents, what advantages and disadvantages do you think our Huaxia has..."

The voice of the director came from the headset, reminding that the signal will be cut out in 2 minutes, so Yang Jian used these 2 minutes to prepare to throw out the topic of the final in advance.

"...The 8 contestants in the final are all very strong. As athletes, they must first run out of themselves, and secondly consider their opponents..."

Shen Bao didn't hesitate much, and following Yang Jian's words, he introduced some situations about his own athletes.Before the semifinals, he tried his best to keep it.Now that the semi-finals are over and the final roster is settled, we can talk about the previous opponent's topic.

As for the strength, level, and performance of their own athletes, let's wait until the finals are over to discuss.

To say that he understands, he does understand that these athletes were his teammates before, and now that he is the coach, he can learn more.But there are some things that are too specific to say right now.

There is no prospect or even expectation. Before the result of the game is out, the audience should be vaccinated as much as possible.A fierce competition form must be rendered in place.

Yang Jian was very satisfied with Shen Bao's answer, and he also deliberately guided the direction of the discussion to create momentum for the final. The 2 minutes was very fast, and it ended in the interaction between Shen Huan and Yang Jian.

Yang Jian also started the summary and game preview.

"...At 22:30 in the evening, today's highlight, the men's [-]-meter race final, will start. Our station will broadcast the match live...

The 5-meter final with the most gold content in the world at present, the five favorites to win the championship all compete, and the final ranking is like this. Let us wait and see who will be crowned the flying man crown...

Alright, viewers, this is the end of the broadcast of the semi-finals of the Olympic men's [-]-meter race. Thank you for watching...

Before the [-]-meter final, there are also many exciting competitions not to be missed.Don't go away, everyone, I am the commentator Yang Jian, see you later..."
