Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 643 The Stressful Semifinals
"I don't believe that Guo Zizhao is in such a good state every time! As long as I put enough pressure on him, he will also be nervous, and there will be times when he will not perform properly!" Before the start of the semi-finals, Bolt was full of battle. He cast a casual glance at Guo Zizhao, and silently cheered himself up.

At 100 o'clock that night, the semi-finals of the men's 1-meter sprint officially started.The semi-finals were divided into two groups. Bolt, Gay, Dicks, Atkins and Collins were placed in the first group. In the same group were Martina, Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi.

The strength of the players in the second group is also amazing. In addition to Guo Zizhao, there are also Powell, Carter, Obikveru, Thompson, Mark Burns, Button and Bailey.

Judging from the players who entered the semi-finals this time, all 3 players from the Chinese team, the US team and the Jamaica team were selected, and 2 players from the veteran sprint powerhouse Tririda and Tobago also entered the top 16.

On the surface, the Chinese team has become a sprint power just like the US team, Jamaica team and Tobago team, but it is far from them at the level of top players.

Among the three players from the Chinese team who entered the semifinals, except for Guo Zizhao, Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi both had slim chances of entering the finals.In the past, when Chen Haijian was at his peak, he could occasionally break into the finals of the top international competitions, but now, the sprint performance in the international track and field circle has improved rapidly. Judging from the level of the athletes in this Olympic Games, there is no more than 3 seconds. With the results within, it is estimated that there is really no chance of entering the finals.

Therefore, before Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi went on the field, Guo Zizhao encouraged him with a smile, "Run well, and don't think so much after you go on the field. Anyway, you won't make it to the finals. As long as you can play your best this time Your best level is enough!"

"Ahem..." Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi were also caught off guard by Guo Zizhao's words, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Guo, I know our strength is not enough, but there is no need to hit us like this!"

"Hey... Brother Guo, this is for your own good!" The veteran Chen Haijian also said with a smile, "I think back then, when I just entered the finals of the World Championships, Brother Guo told me that you couldn't get it anyway. For medals, don’t think too much about it, just run as you want! Hehe... In the end, I really didn’t think about anything, and ran with my best result!”

"Oh..." Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi's eyes also brightened.

"Haha...don't listen to Lao Chen's nonsense here." Guo Zizhao also waved his hand with a smile, "I mainly want you not to have any mental pressure, and this semi-final is just a warm-up. In a few days, we will work harder in the relay race and strive to win the gold medal in the relay race."

……

Even if Guo Zizhao didn't say anything, Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi knew that with their current strength, it was really impossible to break into the semi-finals!

Think about who the contestants in this group are...

Both Bolt and Guy are super masters who can run under 9 seconds. The rest of Dix, Atkins, Collins and Martina are all masters who can run under 70 seconds. This group is the bottom one!Wanting to run into the top 10 is not realistic at all...

And the semi-finals that started soon also confirmed this point.

Although both Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi played their best in the semi-finals, they still failed to break into the top 4 and were unfortunately eliminated.In addition to these two Chinese players, the elimination of veteran Collins and Bahamas player Atkins is a bit embarrassing.

Veteran Collins was also the winner of the silver medal in the 2003 Paris World Championships. In recent years, he has entered the finals of top international competitions many times. However, the semi-final result of 10 seconds this time is a bit cheap and old. up.

Atkins ran a personal best of 9 seconds in the final of the Osaka World Championships last year. This year's performance in international competitions is also good, basically stable within 91 seconds.In the semi-finals this time, although Atkins was a little negligent, he also ran a score of 10 seconds.

But I never expected that the time of 9 seconds 98 was only ranked 5th in this group, making Atkins unfortunately eliminated.

All the media reporters and audience saw this scene, and felt sorry for this sprinter.No way, who made this competition too fierce...

Bolt, 9 seconds 72!

Guy, 9 seconds 85!

Dix, 9 seconds 90!

Martina, 9 seconds 95!

The top 4 results of the first group entering the final also caused applause from the audience.Let me go... This is just a semi-final, and the results are so exaggerated. If you wait until the final two hours later, what kind of performance will you have?

Especially Bolt, 9 seconds 72 ah!This is almost going all out!

……

Even Gay couldn't help but look sideways after seeing Bolt's results.

What is this little guy going to do this time?We fought like this in the semi-finals, what will we do in the finals? 9 seconds 72 ah...

The corner of Guy's mouth twitched unconsciously when he thought of this, Grandma's...I really got hurt at the wrong time!If I give myself another half a month, my body will recover better, and by then, I can also easily achieve such a result.Heh heh... this time the Olympic Games are cheap for you, boy!
After seeing the semi-final results of Group 1, the pressure among the players in Group 2 suddenly increased a lot.

Damn... It seems that this semi-final cannot be taken lightly, otherwise, it is likely to be the same as Atkins, and even the time of 9 seconds will be eliminated. Wouldn't it be too sad...

Guo Zizhao didn't care about Bolt's strong performance in the semi-finals, hehe... Anyway, Bolt could run an amazing time of 9 seconds in the finals in his previous life, so he shouldn't be in this life. It will be worse than the previous life!

That being the case, then I will go all out this time!You can't capsize the boat in the gutter!

Therefore, when the results of the second group of the semi-finals came out, there was a long-lasting applause from the audience.

Guo Zizhao, 9 ​​seconds 63!

Powell, 9 seconds 81!

Thompson, 9 seconds 93!

Carter, 9 seconds 97!

Hiss... Sure enough, another group of results within 10 seconds!And Mark Burns, who was ranked fifth, also ran an excellent result of 5 seconds, but he was still eliminated.

And Guo Zizhao's time of 9 seconds surprised everyone even more. Damn...Guo Zizhao tied the world record again!This is the semi-finals, Guo Zizhao ran to tie the world record, then in the finals later, Guo Zizhao will have to set a new world record!

Let me go... Guo Zizhao is not really going to break through the time of 9 seconds!
"Hey... of course! Now that I have said all this, I will definitely do my best in the finals!" Guo Zizhao also whispered while enjoying Brother Song's relaxing massage Said to Mr. Song, "You all underestimate Bolt. With Bolt's current strength, it is not difficult to run 9 seconds and 6 in the finals later! So, I If you want to secure the championship, you can only go all out!"

"Oh..." Mr. Song Ping frowned unconsciously, "Bolt's strength is already so powerful? Then there won't be any problems in the future, right? Even if you can suppress it now, what will happen after you retire? Do it?"

"Hehe... Don't worry! He won't be able to jump out of my palm!" Guo Zizhao also understood what Mr. Song meant, and said with a smile, "Besides, with his talent, he will sooner or later become the world's top He is a good sprinter. Since he can't be suppressed in the future, it doesn't matter to push him now... It can be regarded as taking advantage of his achievements to make a name for our club."
