just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 337 200m semi-final
"...the corner is entering the straight... 8 players rush to the straight, the gap is not too big, the leader is Martina with 8 lanes, judging from our position, Zhu Kun is ranked fourth, the gap is not big ..."

Bird's Nest Stadium.

In the first group of men's 200-meter competition, 8 players completed the curve run and rushed to the straight road one after another, and the competition entered the final critical moment.

The voice of the on-site commentary was raised again, quickly explaining the game situation in the field, and the voice of the commentator became more and more high-spirited.

Zhu Kun's position was not very good, and he barely ranked fourth after running on the straight.However, he could see that Zhu Kun's speed was getting faster and faster.Based on his understanding of Zhu Kun, the situation in the second half should get better and better.

After the players entered the straight, the situation on the field seemed to have become clear from the perspective of the speed differences and state performance of the players.The narrator can see some problems, and more professional people will naturally see them more clearly.

As for the 8 athletes on the track, after rushing to the straight track, they turned their eyes left and right, and they also made some judgments.

Seventh way.

Looking at the 8 players who were getting farther and farther away from him, Zhang Meng's heart gradually sank.

The first time he ran on the straight, he intentionally swiped left and right, and the speed of the 8-lane Netherlands Antilles player who maintained a relative balance with him in the corner stage became faster and faster.

After going up the straight track and passing 20 meters, including other players with a distance of 6 or even further, he was pulled away in his blurred vision.

Although he didn't know what his current exact position was, but based on the situation of these people, he could fully imagine that the situation was not optimistic.

Desperately accelerating, desperately exerting force, desperately rushing forward.

He has always had the awareness to give full play to himself, and he feels even more that he is running in a good state from the start to the present this time.

At the corner, he had an explosive start and ran very smoothly. At first, he still had a vague hope of rushing into the next round.It's just that the current situation makes him feel that hope is moving away step by step.

On the left and on the right, the two opponents are slowly pulling away from him.He knew that it wasn't that others were faster, but that he was slower, and he deeply felt his own insufficiency.

Starting, breaking out, including accelerating on the way, his current level is not bad.Can run 10 meters in about 1 seconds 200, 20 meters can run in 5 seconds [-], can be regarded as the top domestic.

It's just that, in terms of absolute speed, he's still a bit behind the top few people.For example, Brother Kun and Brother Yang, Zhang Meng felt the gap with them very clearly. In terms of absolute speed alone, even Su Tian, ​​who was younger than him, was faster than him.

Moreover, the longer the distance, the greater the gap in speed endurance and speed stability.

The acceleration at the start feels good, but in fact it is still a little bit worse, and it is not enough in terms of power accumulation and explosion.The absolute speed is also worse, which should be the core strength support of footsteps and hip delivery, and the speed resistance is even worse.

What a difference!

Zhang Meng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he analyzed his own situation in a flash.

Only by competing with more top players can people feel their own shortcomings.He is now looking forward to the next cycle of training that the coach and director Lin said.

At the same time, although the conditions of other players on the track are different from Zhang Meng, they have almost the same inner thoughts.

Differences, advantages, position and speed comparison, these things can only have a deeper experience in the most direct competitive collision.

The veteran has the persistence of a veteran. After observing the position, he worked harder and harder.

Jamaican player Williams with 9 tracks, and Canadian player Connaughton with 2 tracks, gradually feel that they are getting old and not in the state, but it is definitely impossible to give up.Even at this moment, their position has been gradually lost to the end.

Malcolm on the sixth track, Dez Gay on the fifth track, and the American player Dix on the third track, they just observed the left and right for a while, and they have a more intuitive understanding of the position and speed difference between themselves and the opponent judgment.

They are not ahead, but they are not behind either. They have great hopes, but they cannot relax.

"come on! Come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Zhu Kun, Zhang Meng, come on!"

30 meters after the straight, the cheering and cheering of the audience became more intense.

The situation on the field changed after nearly 150 meters, and the trend has become clear, but it has become more intense and anxious during the clear time.

There are four places for promotion, and there are still five people who are anxiously entangled. Zhu Kun is one of them.

"It's a bit too big!"

The third way.

In the sweeping camera lens, Zhu Kun's face has become somewhat distorted.The beating of muscles during exertion made his face look a little weird and hideous.

He knew that there was too much relaxation ahead.So that he was a lot behind others after going straight.In fact, after several years of training and competition, his first half is not inferior to most current 200-meter athletes.The situation just now is not only to save some energy, but also to adjust the rhythm of the next 400-meter race.

He still can't switch and control the fine speed and rhythm in a short period of time.This is also a problem with his side project.

Based on the situation that Director Lin analyzed for him, he is not bad in terms of physical fitness and skills in all aspects.It is slightly insufficient in coordination and subtle control.

He could understand what Director Lin said, because Director Lin analyzed it according to his own situation.Since the official practice of 400 meters, he has watched the videos of the competition and training directed by Lin countless times.

Subtle control, or rather, not control, is total physical memory.How many meters to run, how many steps to use, what speed to run how many meters to how many steps, like a precise electronic machine.This is what he admires most.

He has also been practicing for more than two years, but he knows that there is still a lot of distance to be like Director Lin.For example, this time, the actual situation he hoped to release earlier was beyond the control range of his expected plan.

"Come on!"

Zhu Kun added more strength, clenched his teeth, and looked at the finish line ahead.

The pace of the opponents was very fast, and amidst the noise of cheering and drumming, although he was not sure which position he was in, the pressure from the left and right players was real.

If the control is not satisfactory, it can only be a little more ruthless.

His mentality is very stable, his mind is also very clear, and he has a further and deeper understanding of his own technical characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.There is also enough judgment on the speed of the opponents around him.

And the last 50 meters...

After Zhu Kun worked hard, he kept his speed and galloped towards the finish line.

50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters...

The finish line is in sight!
Fourth, third, and second. While Zhu Kun maintained his speed, the speed of other players changed more or less, and his position gradually moved from fourth to second.

The only one who can maintain the original leading position is only the 8-way player Martina. With almost full performance, Martina leads Zhu Kun and ranks at the forefront of all players.

20 meters away from the finish line!
At this time, the Huaxia audience in the arena and in front of the TV all cheered happily. Only a short distance away, the result has been settled.Many people also turned their attention to another Chinese player at this time.

It's just a pity that Zhang Meng is more than one position behind the fifth player. It seems that the gap is not much. In such a high-speed competition, it cannot be surpassed in a short distance.

20 meters, ten meters...

Check-in area.

Lin Mu sat quietly in the lounge of the preparation area, watched the split screen of the TV in the lounge, and nodded imperceptibly.

He has been paying attention to Zhu Kun's situation and Zhang Meng's situation from the beginning to the end.Although the signals and shots were not given to anyone alone throughout the whole process, he could clearly see the trend and situation of the entire game.

Zhang Meng didn't have any accidents, and he showed his current maximum strength, and even made a small breakthrough tens of meters ahead.But the last Sunai support did not keep up.

The rhythm and process of the whole game is very clear.In fact, it is not only about speed resistance, there are still many deficiencies, and there are many places that need to be supplemented. These are the directions that need to be focused on in the next cycle.Regarding Zhang Meng's situation, he is not disappointed. There is a lot of room for improvement, and the prospect is still optimistic.

As for Zhu Kun, the lack of control and core stability is further reflected.This is also the key factor that determines Zhu Kun's progress from the top to the top, but it seems that Zhu Kun has a clearer understanding of this aspect, which makes him a little relieved.

Athletes who have reached Zhu Kun's level need to have enough self-awareness to achieve breakthroughs in many details.Understanding, coaching or self-planning improvement direction, and further training, can finally become a real top athlete.

For Huaxia sprint, more top athletes need to be born to consolidate and carry forward the atmosphere of inheritance.

In another lounge not far from Linmu,
In the corner, He Jun stared at the screen without blinking.

After the game started, from worrying about his teammates to showing envy after taking a breath of relief.The expression on He Jun's face kept changing.

He officially started sprinting in 97, entered the national relay team in 02, and entered the World Series for the first time in 08. In the past 11 years, the hardships and mental journeys along the way are not humane.

Failures, setbacks, psychological blows, and inner suffering are all the same.Frustration and loneliness have accompanied him almost throughout his career.

Seniors, peers, and juniors all realized their dream of going to the Olympics one step ahead of him.He seems to have been in obscurity.But relying on his inner belief, persistence, and hard work, he finally realized his original dream.

He had envied his teammates countless times, Zhao Lin, Shen Huan, Zhu Kun, Yang Zuyao, and Chen Jianhai, until he climbed to the Bird's Nest Stadium, he let go of all the envy in his heart.But just now, he was envious again.

Not because of Zhu Kun, but because of Zhang Meng.Talent, luck, strength and hard work.

Compared with Zhao Lin and Shen Huan back then, Zhang Meng seems to have achieved much slower results, and now it seems that he will not be able to enter the finals.His grades and reputation were much worse than Zhao Lin's, but he was still envious.

Because Zhang Meng caught up with the good times at the beginning of his career, how lucky he is to have a mature, reasonable and suitable inheritance environment in a superior environment that allows him to grow steadily.

"Come on, brothers!"

He Jun is cheering for his teammates, these young people who are luckier than him, and also for himself.

More than half an hour later, it was my turn, my first Olympic Games, and maybe my last!Let all youth have no regrets!

He Jun suppressed his envy again, turned his gaze back, and after a encouragement in his heart, he closed his eyes silently.

On the field,
The race has entered the sprint stage of the last few meters.

Eight ways, three ways, two players have completely taken advantage.There are only a few steps away, the end is imminent, and the overall situation has been decided.

Behind them, in the last 30 meters, the three anxious players were almost divided into levels. Although Malcolm, who is currently fifth, is still persisting, it seems that it is difficult to make further progress.

In the blink of an eye, eight players crossed the finish line one after another.

"20 seconds 08!"

At the end of the race, the yellow timing board at the finish line showed the result of crossing the finish line first.

On the runway, Zhu Kun crossed the finish line and buffered for more than ten meters, but after quickly recalling the race process in his mind, he stopped.His eyes then turned to the big screen at the scene.

1. The eighth track, Matina, Netherlands Antilles, with a score of 20 seconds;

2. In the third course, Zhu Kun, Huaxia, scored 20 seconds;

3. The fourth track, Dix, the United States, with a score of 20 seconds;

4. The fifth track, Dezgay, Zimbabwe, with a score of 20 seconds;

5. The sixth track, Malcolm, UK, 20 seconds;

6. Seventh Road, Zhang Meng, Huaxia, with a score of 20 seconds;

Eliminated, my first Olympics is over, but not the last, next time I will definitely...

Zhang Meng looked at the big screen at the scene, looked at his teammates, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

"... Audience friends, the first group of the semi-finals is over, and our country's player Zhu Kun advanced to the final with 20 seconds 11 second in the group. Let us congratulate Zhu Kun... Judging from the results and performance, Zhu Kun should be better. Reserved, it seems to be for his next 400m semi-final race...Whether Zhu Kun can become the first player in China to enter the finals of two competitions at the same time, we will wait and see...

Another Huaxia player in the same group, the young up-and-coming star Zhang Meng once again ran his best form, with a very good time of 20 seconds, which was also his personal best.It's just a pity that the sixth place in the group is blocked from the final..."

After the commentator Yang Jian introduced the results of the competition on the big screen in turn, he briefly summarized the competition of the first group. His mood was also mixed.

The Huaxia players were promoted and eliminated, but they failed to achieve perfect results.And Zhu Kun seems to be exhausted, and he is even more worried about the next game.It's just that his mood fluctuated slightly, and he didn't care to think about it anymore.

During his broadcast, the players in the first group had left the field, and the players in the second group of the semi-final entered the field.Yang Jian then began to explain the next game.

"...The second group of semi-finalists has already entered the field. In this group of players is Yang Zuyao, a famous sprinter in my country...Eight contestants walked on the track, and Yang Zuyao was on the fourth track. He seemed very relaxed in preparation before the game. ...

Judging from the past performance of the players, this group of players is stronger than the previous group.There is the previous champion American veteran Sean Crawford, and another American player Spielman is also a powerful player who has repeatedly achieved success in the World Series in recent years.

Another strong player, Jamaica's Usain Bolt, won the silver medal with Zhao Lin in the [-]-meter race a few days ago.

However, his strength cannot be denied. His performance beyond the world record is enough to prove that he is currently one of the best sprinters in the world. The 200m is his special event, let's take a look at his next performance..."

"...The contestants are ready, the referee has issued an order to be in position...Okay, the game begins!"

"Yang Zuyao got off to a good start, consistent as always, and his acceleration looked solid, Spielman, Crawford, the start reaction and acceleration looked good...Bolt didn't start fast, but he looked very good. Ziroom, he is tall, his strides are huge, and his posture is very stretched..."

"... There are more than ten meters left in the curve, Yang Zuyao and Bolt have gained the advantage... The curve is entering the straight, and Bolt has passed. His speed is very fast, and Yang Zuyao is not slow. The gap between the two very small...

Nearly 150 meters, and the last 50 meters, Bolt is leading, Yang Zuyao is chasing very closely, the gap between the two is still not big, their advantage is very obvious, and the distance between the two American players behind them is already two or three meters... …

Bolt and Yang Zuyao have a great advantage. They let go a little bit. The overall situation has been decided...Crossing the line...The second in the group, 20 seconds 02. Congratulations to Yang Zuyao, who easily advanced to the final. Jamaican Bolt won the first place in the group , the score is 20 seconds..."

More than 20 seconds after the starting gun fired, a men's 200-meter semi-final that could not be called intense ended.

From the halfway point of the race, there seemed to be no suspense in this race. China, Jamaica, and the United States fully demonstrated their strength in the sprint event.

But Yang Zuyao and Bolt consciously started to let go when they were more than 30 meters away.It also showed their incomparably strong strength in the 200-meter event.

The mediocre semi-finals were not intense at all, but the audience was not disappointed.

Top arenas, top opponents, and then contribute a perfect and great game.No matter which country the audience is looking forward to tomorrow's 200-meter final.
