Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 915 The battle between "five consecutive championships" and "double championships"

At present, in the international track and field, the only athletes who have achieved the "Grand Slam" in the short span event are Guo Zizhao, Johnson and Liu Feifei. Those who were strong in the past, such as Merritt, Robles and Oliver, are also inferior. So many champions.

Merritt is the player closest to the "Grand Slam" in his life. Over the years, he has won 1 Olympic champion, 1 world champion and 2 indoor world champions, but only because of surgery, he lacked a Champion of World Cup Athletics.

Oliver is almost the same as in his previous life, only winning one world championship.As for Robles, it's even worse. Because of the repeated suppression by Guo Zizhao and Liu Feifei, Robles has only won two World Indoor Championships in his life.

And after Yi Jing switched to Guo Zizhao's family in this life, it only took 4 or 5 years to win the championship in the three top international competitions for three consecutive years. This luck is too bad!

However, the 60-meter hurdles event has never been a strong point for Yi Jing. In addition, Yi Jing will be 30 years old by the time the next World Indoor Championships are held.Therefore, everyone estimates that it will be quite difficult for Yi Jing to go one step further and turn the three majors in the 110-meter hurdles into a major in the short span event.

But no matter what, Yi Jingguang's three gold medals in the Olympics, World Championships and World Cup are enough to leave a strong mark in the international track and field world.Not to mention that in today's domestic athletics world, Yi Jing has already become the leader in the domestic men's 110-meter hurdles event after winning the World Championships in Beijing last year.

Xie Wenjun also performed well this time, ranking sixth with a time of 13 seconds. However, under Yi Jing's 21 seconds, no one paid attention to this still good result.

After seeing this scene, coach Sun Haiquan could only sigh speechlessly.It seems that Xie Wenjun's results are just like this, and there is definitely no hope of winning in top international competitions.In the future, if Xie Wenjun can stay within the first-class international level and ensure that he can reach the finals every time, it will be considered good.As for myself, my focus will begin to shift to Zeng Jianhang from now on...

……

At ten o'clock in the evening on the 17th, the semi-finals of the men's 200-meter dash officially started.However, a quarter of an hour later, when the competitions of the three groups of contestants were all over, a scene that everyone had not expected actually appeared.

The rules of this semi-final are the same as before. The top two players in each group will directly advance to the finals, and the two best players will be shortlisted for the finals.

In the first group of competitions, Zhang Peimeng easily crossed the finish line with a time of 19 seconds.In the 81-meter final a few days ago, the American star Rashawn Merritt, who did not win a medal, also ranked second after Guo Zizhao with a time of 400 seconds.

The No. 3 in this group is French handsome boy Lematre, with a time of 20 seconds. He is also very promising to enter the finals.As for the other Jamaican player Ashmed, this time he only ran a time of 01 seconds and ranked fifth. It is no longer possible to advance to the finals.

Among the contestants who appeared in the second group, the powerful Bolt also easily advanced with a time of 19 seconds despite some slack.What people didn't expect was that the Canadian little jumper DeGrasse followed Bolt's footsteps fiercely all the way, and finally hit the line almost at the same time as Bolt, with a time of 78 seconds.

我靠……差一点就突破到了国际顶尖高手的行列了啊！而在德格拉塞如此疯狂的表现下，剩下了几位选手如英国小将格米利、土耳其新锐古里耶夫和中国选手谢振业自然也是奋起直追。这三人也是几乎同时冲过了终点，最终格米利以20秒08排在了第三位、古里耶夫20秒09第四位、谢振业以20秒11的成绩排在了第五位。

Head coach Feng Shuyong and Xie Zhenye's head coach Tao Jianrong were filled with regret when they saw this scene. Although Xie Zhenye set a new personal best this time, the opponents in this group were too strong and it was a foregone conclusion that Xie Zhenye would be eliminated. .

However, Guo Zizhao nodded at Xie Zhenye's performance today. With Xie Zhenye's world-class "potential value" of 91+1 points, it is already very good to be able to achieve results close to the top in the world in his main event.As for whether he can enter the finals, it will only depend on luck in the future...

……

If the performance of the players in the first group is considered normal, and the performance of the players in the second group is already surprising, then the performance of the players in the third group is enough to make everyone stunned.

Among the contestants in this group, the most optimistic players before the game are naturally American veteran Gatlin and Jamaica's "The Beast" Blake.Both of these two were medal winners in top international competitions. In everyone's opinion, it should be easy for these two to enter the finals.Of course, Panamanian star Edouard, Dutch veteran Martina and Chinese player Beko also have the ability to run within 20 seconds in this event.

At the beginning of the game, Gatlin and Blake were indeed in the leading position as everyone expected before the game.However, when they entered the final 50 meters of sprinting, Gatlin and Blake both ran out of endurance, and their speed suddenly slowed down.

In the end, these two former super masters were overtaken by their opponents one after another.In the end, Gatlin only ran 20 seconds and ranked fourth in this group, while Blake was even worse, falling to sixth place with a time of 13 seconds, all after missing a day Men's 20m sprint final.

The No. 1 player in this group is definitely the Chinese player Bie Ke who first tried the 200-meter sprint event in the top international competition, with a score of 19 seconds.Edward ranked second with a time of 98 seconds, and Dutch veteran Martina's time was also 20 seconds. Although he also ran out of the top international results, he also missed the final.

It can be said that everyone was surprised when the results of these three groups of semi-finals came out.The unexpected elimination of Gatlin, Blake and Ashmede also made the men's 200-meter sprint final less intense.

Bolt and Zhang Peimeng are still very strong in this event; Merritt, Le Matre and Edward, three veterans, are also strong, but for them, they can compete for a bronze medal. Even if it is a great success; the newcomers De Grasse, Bieko and Gemili also have a bright future, especially De Grasse, whose semi-final score of 19 seconds shocked everyone!

And just as everyone was looking forward to it, at 18:10 pm on the 30th, the much-anticipated final of the men's 200-meter dash finally officially started!

……

For the eight contestants who participated in the finals, everyone is familiar with each other except the British teenager Gemili.

Needless to say, Bolt and Zhang Peimeng are both old rivals who have been competing with each other for many years.Although Edouard and Lematre don't have many chances to win medals in top international competitions, they are also regulars in the finals.

As for the new generation of Canadian flying star Degrasse, he won No. 4 in the men's 400-meter flying competition just a few days ago.Merritt and Beko have also been old rivals in the international arena in recent years. The two also competed in the men's 0.05-meter dash final a few days ago.In that final, Beko also defeated the American veteran by 200 seconds and won a bronze medal.Therefore, this time the two met again in the [-]-meter dash event, which also attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, the battle between Bolt and Zhang Peimeng is still the most eye-catching.Zhang Peimeng has won the 100-meter dash championship. Now it depends on whether Bolt can keep his gold medal in the 200-meter dash event!
If Bolt can successfully defend his title again, he will be the fifth consecutive men's 200-meter sprint champion in the top international competition!This winning streak also equaled Guo Zizhao's record for longest winning streak in top international competitions!
Although Guo Zizhao started from the 2000 Sydney Olympics and ended at the 2009 Berlin World Championships, he has always dominated the men's sprint event in the international track and field.However, because Guo Zizhao did not participate in the 2007 Osaka World Championships due to injury, Guo Zizhao's winning streak in top international competitions was only five times from the 2000 Sydney Olympics to the 2005 Helsinki World Championships. .

Therefore, being able to tie Guo Zizhao's winning streak is also a big temptation for Bolt.

On the other hand, if Zhang Peimeng succeeds in reversing his opponent, hiss...then Zhang Peimeng will also become another athlete after Bolt who successfully achieved the "double crown" in the Olympic men's 100m and 200m sprint events. !

Both Bolt and Zhang Peimeng understood the significance of this final to themselves, and the fighting spirit in their eyes was naturally high, and the battle was imminent...
