Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 434 The Tragic Preliminaries

In the end, Coach Mills had no choice but to resort to procrastination, "Let's not discuss this issue now! Now our main task is the Olympics! After this Olympics is over, let's go back and discuss it slowly!"

Speaking of this, Coach Mills also took the opportunity to encourage Bolt, "In this Olympic Games, you have the opportunity to compete with Guo Zizhao in the two events of 200 meters and 400 meters. Since Guo Zizhao thinks your strength No, then you have to work harder, let Guo Zizhao see your true strength!"

"Okay! I won't let Guo Zizhao underestimate me!" Bolt felt excited after hearing the coach's words, okay... I will also prove to Guo Zizhao that I, Bolt, also have the strength to become the king of sprinting!
Soon, all the games on the seventh match day were over.

In today's competition, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining of the Chinese table tennis team won a gold medal in the women's doubles, bringing the total number of gold medals of the Chinese team to 17 and once again securing the top spot in the gold medal list.

The U.S. team showed no signs of weakness today. Phelps showed his coquettishness in the pool again, and won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter butterfly, bringing his number of gold medals to an astonishing five in this Olympic Games.At the same time, American players won the gold medal in the women's 5-meter freestyle. As a result, the total number of gold medals for the US team has reached 800, which is only one less than that of the Chinese team.

In addition to the hot pursuit of the US team, the performance of the Japanese team in this Olympic Games also made the Chinese team secretly vigilant.

At present, the Japanese team has won 9 gold medals, and the number of gold medals exceeds the sum of the previous two Olympic Games.Among them, judo alone won 6 gold medals.In the swimming event, relying on the "Frog King" Kosuke Kitajima won two gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m breaststroke.Coupled with a gold medal in gymnastics, today's Japanese team is also menacing!

However, Guo Zizhao didn't care about these powerful opponents, hehe... After two days, when Lao Tzu's track and field gold medal is released, there is no need to make everyone worry.

……

On August 8, the competition of this Olympic Games entered the eighth day.For Guo Zizhao, today is also a day with many games.There will be a first-round preliminaries for the men's 21-meter sprint in the morning, and a second-round 8-meter preliminaries in the evening. An hour later, there will be the semi-finals for the men's 100-meter sprint.

Although there are three games to participate in, the intensity and frequency of the games is not a big deal for Guo Zizhao.

Before the preliminaries of the men's 100-meter dash, Guo Zizhao also met his old rivals whom he had not seen for a long time.Naturally, everyone was curious about Guo Zizhao's great performance in the swimming competition a few days ago.

Maurice Green said with envy, "I really envy you for having such a good body! You haven't played enough in the track and field, but you can still win two gold medals in swimming! You are so popular! Tsk tsk tsk... ...Why don't you go directly to the swimming competition and come here to compete with us for the championship!"

"That's right," Obikveru also complained, "Didn't it mean that Phelps has already won 5 swimming gold medals, and he is preparing to hit the 6th gold medal today! This guy is so arrogant, How can you bear it! You should go to the swimming competition and teach him a lesson!"

"Well...you're right!" Crawford also expressed his deep approval, "Although I'm also an American, but seeing that kid stealing the limelight from our track and field athletes, I also support him. Guo Zizhao went to teach him a lesson!"

"That's right, that's right! You'd better give us a way to survive..." Old opponents such as Gardner and Collins also booed from the sidelines, while newcomers such as Gatlin and Powell watched happily from the sidelines.

"Get out...you guys!" Guo Zizhao was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the serious opponents on the field would be so clumsy now, "Stop talking nonsense, I haven't won the gold medal in the sprint event yet Enough! This is only the second time for me to participate in the Olympics, how could I give up! Now is the time when my interest is high, you have to be careful, haha..."

……

Today's two rounds of men's 100-meter preliminaries were not difficult for Guo Zizhao and other experts, and everyone passed the test with ease.

At the level of the men's 100-meter competitors in this Olympic Games, as long as they run within 10 seconds in the first round of preliminaries in the morning, there is basically no problem in entering the second round.

The second round of preliminaries that night will be divided into 5 groups, the top three in each group and No.5 with the best score among the 4 groups, a total of 16 players will enter tomorrow's semi-finals.

In this way, in the second round of preliminaries, the competition suddenly became fierce. If there is no time within 10 seconds 15, basically there is no chance to squeeze into the semi-finals of the next day.

In the first group of competitions, Portugal's Obik Viru ranked first with a time of 1 seconds, followed by Britain's Lewis Francis and Jamaica's Dwight Thomas, both of whom had the same results 9 seconds 93.

第2组的比赛中，美国人克劳福德惊人的以9秒89的成绩占据了头名，巴巴多斯的选手汤普森以10秒12排在第二，中国选手沈云宝则是以10秒18的成绩幸运的排在了第三位。

在第3组的比赛中，美国人加特林以9秒96获得了No.1，陈亥健10秒09紧随其后，英国老将杰森.加德纳以10秒15排在了第三位。

郭子昭在第4组的比赛中登场了，轻松的就以9秒80的成绩傲视群雄。加纳选手阿齐兹.扎卡里10秒02排在第二，圣基茨和尼维斯选手柯林斯以10秒05位居第三。

在最后第5组的比赛中，美国老飞人格林以9秒93稳居头名，牙买加新贵鲍威尔9秒99紧随其后，加纳选手麦克斯.米尔斯同样以10秒18的成绩挤进了前三位。

In Group 4, Jamaica's Flatt ranked first among all the No.10 players with a time of 15 seconds, and successfully entered tomorrow's semi-finals.

……

When the results of the semi-finals came out, all the media and audience also exclaimed.

我去……中国队如今在男子短跑项目上的整体实力也是太霸道了吧。在进入半决赛的前16位选手中，美国队3人、牙买加3人、中国队居然也是3人，而老牌强队英国队和加纳队都仅仅只有2人而已。

Although in the Chinese men's track and field team, Guo Zizhao is still the only top international sprinter, but in the past two years, the improvement of the overall strength of the Chinese team's sprint should not be underestimated.

At last year's World Athletics Championships, the Chinese team entered the semifinals at the same time in the men's 100-meter sprint event, and 3 entered the final.In the 2-meter event, 200 people also entered the final.In the 2-meter hurdles event, three people also entered the final.

This report card is enough to make the Chinese team among the world's top sprint powers.Especially in the end, the Chinese team unexpectedly won the men's 4x100m relay championship, which also gave the international track and field circle a new understanding of the overall strength of the Chinese men's track and field team.

And now the results of the men's 3-meter semi-final of the Olympic Games have also made the international track and field circles exclaim. It turns out that the performance of the Chinese team last year was not a flash in the pan!It turned out that 3 people entered the semi-finals again. The Chinese team really has this strength!If this rate of progress is followed, then by the time of the Beijing Olympic Games, maybe all three contestants will be able to enter the finals!
Damn...it seems that China's men's track and field strength is really worthy of everyone's attention...

In addition to the performance of the Chinese team, the results of the second round of preliminaries also surprised everyone!

Your sister, this is just the preliminaries, there are actually 6 people who ran within 10 seconds.This is simply a big explosion!You know, Collins, who won the third place in the men's 10-meter final of the World Championships last year, only ran 07 seconds!This result was ranked outside the top eight in today's preliminaries.

And some veterans who once dominated the field, such as the British Campbell, the Trinidad and Tobago veteran Bolton, and the rookie Brown who reached the final of the World Championships last year, were also ruthlessly eliminated in this preliminaries .

Damn... the preliminaries are so miserable, so tomorrow's semi-finals and finals will be thrilling...
