Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 186 200m Preliminaries 【Subscription】

On August 8th, the fifth competition day of the Rio Olympics track and field event, this morning will have women's 16-meter and 5-meter hurdles group competitions, women's pole vault qualifying competition, and women's discus final; Triple jump final, 5000m group stage and 100m group stage.

Before Wu Ziyi and Xie Zhenye played, Dong Bin won a bronze medal for the Chinese team in the triple jump final event with a score of 17.58 meters, and another athlete Cao Shuo also won No.17.13 with a score of 4 meters.

The time came to 11:50, and the men's 200m event group competition officially started.

The 200-meter group competition is naturally not difficult for Wu Ziyi, but it is somewhat difficult for Xie Zhenye.

2012年的伦-敦奥运会200米预赛，谢震叶以20秒69出局，当时的小组第一是尤罕-布雷克20秒38，No.2和No.3都是20秒52。如果以谢震叶去年和今年的状态，跑个20秒30——20秒40，似乎是稳稳晋级了，就算进不了决赛也值了。

But there are a total of 200 groups in the men's 6-meter preliminaries at the London Olympics. This year's Rio has a total of 10 groups!
A total of 78 athletes, 7 or 8 in each group, the top two in the group will advance directly, a total of 20 places, and a total of 3 groups in the semi-finals, which means that the remaining 10 athletes in the 58 groups can only be divided into 4 Replacement quota!The intensity of this competition completely surpassed the previous men's 100m group match.

第一组，巴拿马的阿隆索-爱德华20秒19晋级，英吉利的丹尼尔-塔尔伯特20秒27晋级，希腊的萨科纳斯20秒31、卡塔尔的奥古诺德20秒36，待定。

第二组，西班牙的布鲁诺-罗格20秒12晋级，牙买加的尤罕-布雷克20秒13晋级，霉国的阿米尔-韦伯20秒31、南非的约博瓦纳20秒53，待定。

第三组，巴林的赛林-雅库布20秒19晋级，土耳其的拉米尔-古利耶夫20秒23晋级，加纳大的亚伦-布朗20秒23待定、霓虹的饭盅翔太20秒49（出局）。

In fact, after the results of the third group came out, Yobowana and Shota Ichikuka had already been eliminated. With only 3 groups, the threshold for replacement promotion has been pulled to 20 seconds.

For Xie Zhenye, the results of each group sounded a wake-up call in his heart, and the pressure on his body was increasing.

In the fourth group, Carlos Herrera of Mexico advanced in 20 seconds, and Robert Skies of Cuba advanced in 29 seconds. How much Xie Zhenye wanted to be able to switch to this group. He could be ranked first in the group in 20 seconds. In the second promotion, the replacement threshold for the first three groups has been pulled to 44 seconds 20!
It's a pity that I can't change it.

In the fifth group, Justin Gatlin of Moldy Country easily advanced in 20 seconds, and Matteo Calvin of Italy advanced in 42 seconds.

Seeing the results of the fourth and fifth groups, Xie Zhenye's lungs were about to explode, "Axi—!!", the good guy even yelled cold words, Xie Zhenye cried to Wu Ziyi with a mournful face: " Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, old Wu, why am I not QAQ in four or five groups?"

What can Wu Ziyi say, he can only give the poor child a warm hug.

This is impossible. In sports, honor must be linked to strength, but in the process of obtaining honor, luck is also a very important part.

In the sixth group, Ashmead of Jamaica advanced in 20 seconds, and Adam Jimili of England advanced in 15 seconds.

Halfway through the competition schedule, at this time, unless they are athletes of the level of Bolt and Wu Ziyi, they will not release water as long as they can advance.The top two results of the previous five groups have been determined. The reason why they did not let go is to compete for a better pass in the semi-finals. A good pass can help them try their best to hit the spot in the final.

Wu Ziyi patted Xie Zhenye, got up and walked towards the athlete's aisle, it was his turn to play.

杨建：“好的观众朋友们，在看过5、6两个小组的表现后我们把目光转移到第7组。我们看到现在的镜头已经聚焦到了吴子义身上，吴子义虽然今年只进行了两场200米的比赛，但他在国际田联的排行榜上却是世界第一，19秒73力压拉肖恩-梅里特的19秒74和加特林的19秒75。这一组吴子义的主要对手是荷兰的马尔蒂纳，他是在第5道，吴子义是在第6道.”

There was no introduction link in the preliminaries, but the live broadcast was focused on a few seeded players.

“On your marks~”

Wu Ziyi actually wanted to go to the 8th track, because it was 12:40 when it was Wu Ziyi's turn to play, which was close to 1:8 noon, and it was the time when the sun was shining.Although everyone is illuminated by the sun, the [-]th track only needs to take a few steps to run into the shadows, and Wu Ziyi is still speeding up with his head buried in this distance, and the sun cannot reach his eyes.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

Yang Jian: "It's a good start, let's see if Wu Ziyi can successfully enter the semi-finals."

"It's still a familiar curve to overtake. Wu Ziyi overtook all the competitors at 60 meters."

"From a corner to a straight, it should be at least 3 positions ahead of other players, and he is followed by Martina."

"The last 50 meters was very easy, and I started to slow down. Brenes, who was outside the lane, actually overtook it. Look at the last line-"

"Wu Ziyi won the first place without a doubt, 20 seconds in 15 seconds. In the last 20-meter sprint, Breness, who is an outsider, actually overtook him. From this point of view, Martina can only enter the bench. "

After Wu Ziyi ran past the finish line, he turned around to say hello to Martina. He is also an old man on the track and field. If Wu Ziyi hadn’t appeared, he should have advanced to the semi-finals in second place and then entered the finals. I don’t know. Will the appearance of Wu Ziyi change the course of this Dutch star who has witnessed the birth of countless legends.

第七组，吴子义20秒15晋级，哥斯达黎加的布雷内斯20秒20晋级，马尔蒂纳20秒29暂时递补。

In the eighth group, Rashawn Merritt of the bad country advanced in 20 seconds, and [French Giraffe] Lemaitre advanced in 15 seconds.

"Ha!" Xie Zhenye yelled to strengthen himself, but he was a little frightened by Bolt, who was tying his shoes beside him.

"Come, XIE, easy, easy~" Bolt patted Xie Zhenye and signaled him to relax. From the beginning of the warm-up, he saw that Uzi's little buddy was very nervous, and he comforted: "It's okay, After a while, you will follow me, and you will be able to advance smoothly~"

Xie Zhenye laughed: "Do you actually think I can follow you? You should tell Wu Ziyi about this, Bolt, no one can follow you except him."

"Hahahaha——look, didn't you relax immediately?"

"I thank you."

"Next is Group 200 of the men's 9m preliminaries. Xie Zhenye is on the 7th track, next to Bolt on the 6th track. Bolt is undoubtedly the absolute boss of this group, and Xie Zhenye's main opponent Rodney from Ghana, and Oduru from Nigeria also needs to be noticed. If Xie Zhenye wants to advance, he must go all out and not relax in the slightest."

Xie Zhenye is still very anxious. In order to prepare for the Olympic Games, he did not compete too much this year. The 100-meter result has been tested, but he only ran two simple 200-meter races in China. One was the National Grand Prix in Shaoxing. 20 seconds 41 in the IAAF Challenge Kawasaki station in 20 seconds 37.

These two results are not good compared to last year. Last year, Xie Zhenye ran under 20 three times. Of course, these two runs were made at the beginning of the season, but now he may not be at that level.

The "On your marks~" command has been issued, and no matter how anxious you are, you have to take up your guns and go into battle.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

Yang Jian: "At the beginning of a good game, Xie Zhenye must stabilize his rhythm, must not be affected by other opponents, and must give full play to his late-game advantage."

"Bolt is still strong, the first to enter the straight, he took his big strides into the relaxed running state."

"In the last 50 meters, Xie Zhenye started to catch up with Bolt, Xie Zhenye kept it! Sprint!"

"Beautiful! Xie Zhenye is second in the group! Driven by Bolt, he won the second place in the group. Bolt's strength is really strong. In the last 20 meters, Xie Zhenye caught up. He is another speeder Xie Zhenye was left behind."

Bolt advanced in 20 seconds,

Xie Zhenye advanced in 20 seconds 26!
最后一组，德格拉斯20秒09晋级，英吉利的米切尔-布雷克20秒24晋级，特立尼达和多巴哥的朗德尔·索里洛20秒27进入递补席。
