Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 191 Sing the Motherland
"Usain Bolt is still unstoppable in the corner, the first to enter the straight, and he is launching the final impact on his legendary road! Uzi is still struggling to catch up, he did not give up, getting closer and closer Getting closer! Uzi! He beat Usain Bolt! 19.60!"

"On my God!!!" Michael Johnson stood up excitedly, "I can't believe my eyes!! He really did it, in Rio, at the Olympics!"

Johnson was silent for a long time before recovering and continuing to explain: "There is no doubt that this will be a moment recorded in the history of Olympic track and field. A young and energetic Chinese athlete broke Bolt's long-distance record in the 200-meter event. 8 years of monopoly! It also means that a real new king has been born in the men's sprint field, and I have every reason to believe that the next 8 years will be the era of Uzi."

Tom: "Does that mean Bolt isn't that great anymore? After all, he lost in his last Olympic event, the 200m, his best event?"

"Please, why do you have such an idea?" Johnson shook his head and said with a smile: "He has already proved his greatness, and there is still a 4×100-meter relay behind him, and he will win his eighth Olympic medal Gold medal. Losing a personal gold medal does not mean that he is no longer great, but it is witnessing the beginning of another legend."

19秒59，风速-0.5m/s，吴子义真没想到自己能够跑出这样的成绩，这一次他大幅度的将自己的个人最好成绩从19秒73提升至19秒59，提高了0.14秒。

It rained before the 200-meter final. Although the temperature in Rio in August was very high, the air temperature must drop after the rain, and the competition time was already 8:22 in the middle of the night. performance had a negative impact.

This can be seen from the final results of De Grasse and others. If Wu Ziyi hadn’t stimulated Bolt in London, he should have run 19 seconds in the final, but he ran in the semi-final. It took 78 seconds, so the wind speed and temperature in the finals were not friendly to the players.

Wu Ziyi is now considering whether to participate in the 200-meter final in the Diamond League Brussels station. Originally, his plan this year was to compete for the [-]-meter championship, but now he is very eager to know that he will compete in the competition where the wind speed and temperature are relatively good. What level can I play under the conditions.

Should be able to exceed 19 seconds?
时间回到里约8月18日上午11点20，男子4×100米接力预赛。

"At the beginning of the game, Tang Xingqiang's start was a bit slow, but it doesn't matter. To control the rhythm, we must handle the handover of one or two bats."

"Handover, good! Xie Zhenye's condition is fine, Xie Zhenye speeds up! Very good, Coleman has almost no advantage over Xie Zhenye!"

"Between two and three, Su Bingtian! Speed ​​up the curve and control the rhythm. The Chinese team is still in the top three, but it seems that Tyson Gay is faster."

"At the end it's Zhang Peimeng! Accelerate and keep up with the Mold Country and Ghana teams! There should be no problem, the top three in the group is no problem! Zhang Peimeng surpassed the Ghana team and is second in the group! Beautiful!"

Wu Ziyi saw Zhang Peimeng's performance on the sidelines, and happily slapped Yuan Guoqiang.

Yes, Zhang Peimeng.After arriving in Rio and studying the schedule, the coaching staff found that the Olympic relay preliminaries and the men's 200-meter final were on the same day, but it was impossible to ask Wu Ziyi to give up the men's 200-meter final like the Incheon Asian Games.

Therefore, after arriving in Rio, Zhang Peimeng was urgently used as the fourth bat to participate in the relay preliminaries. I did not expect that he would return to the peak in the relay preliminaries after withering for a whole year. It was a surprise.

The results gradually appeared on the big screen:

1 My country team 37.65
2 Chinese team 37.78
3 Ghana team 37.89
The Chinese team was very happy after running, but then they were not happy anymore, because in the second group of the relay preliminaries, the Neon team sent a combination of Ryota Yamagata, Shota Hancup, Xiangxiu Kiryu and Asuka Jianqiao, and finally they ran Out of 37 seconds 68 results.

Yuan Guoqiang suddenly had a headache, "Damn it, 37 seconds 68 is 0.1 slower than yours at the World Championships last year. The Nihong team, which has a good life, has improved in just one year. so fast?"

Wu Ziyi was also very disturbed, after all, he was a person with God's perspective.

It is certain that Shanxian Liang is stronger than Tang Xingqiang. Tang Xingqiang has not grown up yet, and he is a 200-meter special athlete. In terms of starting, he is completely inferior to Shanxian, Asia's top starting machine.

Xie Zhenye is better than Shota Fanchu. This year's Xie Zhenye can beat him no matter if he is 200 meters or [-] meters.

Needless to say, Wu Ziyi, Jianqiao Feiniao's current state is definitely stronger than Zhang Peimeng, but against Wu Ziyi, he can only be blown away.

In fact, Wu Ziyi was most worried about Su Bingtian, whom Yang Jian had always called "the scimitar of the full moon". He was not worried about his state, but that Su Bingtian was actually not much better than Kiryu Xiangxiu in the third round.

听起来很扯淡，苏炳天从15年尤金到现在已经5破10秒，个人最好成绩都来到了9秒92，而桐生相秀的PB却是10秒01（+1.8m/s），两人之间的百米可以说差了两个档次。

But that’s still the problem—Su Bingtian is good at start-up and future, and the third round actually competes more on running ability and cornering skills on the way. Su Bingtian is a 100-meter special athlete, and his cornering skills are really just like what Yang Jian said So, is it "Full Moon Scimitar"?

Wu Ziyi also has a headache now, but now the team members are in a state of momentum, even if he knows about these problems, he can't say it.The most important thing is to perform well in the relay final. It depends on manpower. This time the Neon team is indeed strong enough, but Wu Ziyi is not a vegetarian.

If the Neon team really wins, it is not unacceptable. Only when there is a failure can we find a better solution to the problem.Now that he has won one gold and one silver in the Olympic Games, the right to speak in the team has been greatly improved. It is impossible for Yuan Guoqiang not to listen to his opinions.

The time came to 8:19 on August 20th. The women's 20-kilometer race walk award ceremony ended, and the audience at the Alain Vige Stadium fell silent again, waiting for the start of the next ceremony.

Soon, the broadcast sounded again: "Next, the men's 200m final winners are welcome to enter the arena—!"

Applause and cheers resounded in every corner of the Allanville Stadium in an instant. When Wu Ziyi, Bolt, and De Grasse entered the stadium one after another, the sound was raised again.

"Wu Ziyi——! You are the pride of China!"

"Bolt—! You will always be a legend!"

The cheers were mixed with various congratulations in various languages. Wu Ziyi smiled and waved to the audience, and walked to the back of the podium under the leadership of Miss Etiquette.

In front of the awards stage, dozens of journalists from various countries were standing or squatting, the cameras in their hands were constantly taking pictures, and Wu Ziyi couldn't keep his eyes open.

"...The man who won the men's 200-meter bronze medal in this Olympic Games is - Andre - De Grasse! From the University of Ghana."

With a bright smile, De Grasse stood on the podium and waved his hands to greet all around.

Before the game, he had already prepared himself mentally. He thought that he could not compete with Bolt and Wu Ziyi. He was even ready to fight LaShawn Merritt desperately.

To be able to win this bronze medal with a relatively large advantage, he is already satisfied.

"...Usain Bolt won the men's 200-meter silver medal in this Olympic Games! From Jamaica."

A dramatic scene came. After the live host read Bolt's name, he faced the camera with his hands folded on his chest, put on a bad face, pouted and kept shaking his head.

The reporters thought that Bolt was playing his temper, and the shutter in his hand was frantically pressed, which was big news when it was sent out.

The audience at the scene was also affected, thinking that Bolt was very dissatisfied with taking over the game, they started talking one after another, and the stadium was instantly noisy.

Knowing Bolt's playful temper, Wu Ziyi leaned over and patted his big buttocks, "Okay, stop playing—"

Bolt quickly grabbed Wu Ziyi's hands, dragged him over, and savagely trampled on Wu Ziyi's head, then turned his anger into a smile, showing his iconic row of big white teeth, and jumped onto the platform to receive the award. The station accepts the award.

He was definitely disappointed and regretful when he was defeated in the last Olympic Games of his career, but he couldn't get angry at this younger brother who regarded himself as an idol.

Forget it, he is already legendary enough, there will always be some regrets in life, such as Daegu, such as now.

The audience understood that Bolt was only joking, and returned to him with the loudest applause, whistles and cheers.

The on-site host finally breathed a sigh of relief. After Bolt accepted the award, he read his lines again: "Next, it's the men's 200-meter gold medalist in this Olympic Games—Wu Ziyi! From China."

Wu Ziyi stepped onto the podium full of excitement, but in an instant, his eyes were red, and tears flowed down, but his smile was so warm and sunny.

Bending down to receive the Olympic gold medal, which symbolizes the highest honor of track and field, I only feel its weight is so heavy. It has gathered the beliefs of 14 billion Chinese people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand, below, the national anthem of the People's Republic of China—"

This is the third time the "March of the Volunteers" has been played at the Alainville Stadium, the main venue of the Olympic Games. The last time was at 8:13 on August 20. Chinese athletes Wang Zhen and Cai Zelin won the gold medal in the men's 20km race walk And the silver medal, the second time was just 20 minutes ago, at the awards ceremony of the women's 5km race walk final, Liu Hong added another gold for the Chinese track and field team.

Now, it is the third gold medal of the Chinese track and field team from Wu Ziyi. The Chinese national anthem resounded in the two consecutive award ceremonies. How cool is this feeling? !

The loud and clear trumpets started, and the majestic, passionate "March of the Volunteers" rang throughout Alainville.

Wu Ziyi stared affectionately at the bright five-star red flag, held flowers in one hand, touched his chest with the other, and sang loudly:

"Arise, you who will not be slaves!
Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!
中华民族 到 了 最 危险 的 时候 ，
每个 人 被迫 着 发出 最后 的 吼声。

stand up!stand up!stand up! !
我们 万众一心 ，
冒着 敌人 的 炮火 ， 前进！

Brave the enemy's fire, go forward!go ahead!Go ahead, go in! "

Not many people sang loudly in the Allenvige Stadium, but domestic audiences could still faintly hear the sound coming from the TV. It was a singing voice full of pride that had traveled thousands of miles, and it was a song that condensed hundreds of millions of people. The common wish of the compatriots of the Chinese nation.

From the war-torn era to today's gradual prosperity, the sweat shed on the Olympic athletes is the efforts made by the Chinese nation to achieve the great rejuvenation.

Regardless of the torture of injuries and illnesses, they just want to represent the motherland, hundreds of millions of comrades, and all the Chinese people who have stepped forward to realize the cause of the liberation of the Chinese nation since 840!

After the award ceremony, Wu Ziyi was surrounded by various reporters. Countless media reporters from Xinhua News Agency, Associated Press, and Agence France-Presse handed their microphones to Wu Ziyi.

Everyone was scrambling to ask their own questions. The reporter from Xinhua News Agency asked: "Wu Ziyi, what do you most want to say at this moment?"

When Wu Ziyi heard this question, he smiled brightly. He didn't say anything, but sang a song that has been imprinted in the bones of countless Chinese people in front of reporters from various countries:

The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, how resounding is the song of victory

Singing to our dear motherland, from now on we will be prosperous and strong
　I forgot the time of the relay race before. I naively thought that the relay preliminaries must be after the men's 200m final, but in fact the relay preliminaries and the men's 200m are on the same day.
