Chapter 212 Hey - I have it! 【Subscribe】

On May 5, Jinan.

The 2017 National Athletics Championships and National Games qualifiers kicked off at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Shandong.

It is reported that the National Athletics Championships is the highest-level and largest national-level event in my country's track and field events. This year's competition is also the National Games track and field qualifier, with high specifications and strict requirements. It has attracted 35 teams from all over the country. 1436 people participated, and many domestic track and field stars appeared in this competition.

Xie Zhenye looked at the newspaper provided in the hotel, took two sips of soymilk in his hand, "I'm returning the famous general, Tian Tian and Lao Wu didn't come, it's really boring."

Wu Zhiqiang polished the egg in his hand, opened his mouth and swallowed it directly, whimpering: "Thank you, you are looking down on us. Are you afraid that we will kill you if you don't run away?"

"Hey, you know that's not what I mean," Xie Zhenye waved his hand and explained, "I just want to go abroad to participate in some competitions like Tiantian and the two of them. Only by being abused by masters can I grow. I can't get my spirits up."

"Then you can think of it this way," Wu Zhiqiang swallowed the egg and drank two sips of soy milk, "Ha——you can grow if you are abused abroad, and if you abuse us in China, isn't that just helping us grow? This wave, this wave It’s a rural support teacher~”

"It makes sense, so I am so important?"

"I lied to you."

"???"

********
In fact, the National Athletics Championships is indeed the highest-level "track and field event" in China, but because Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian did not participate, it seems that the [-]-meter event is not enough. Other events such as middle-distance running, high jump, long jump, shot put, hurdles, etc. They are all capable athletes.

Zhang Guowei, Gong Lijiao, Xie Wenjun, and Gao Xinglong can only say that under the halo of Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian, the light of other projects seems a bit dim.

2017全国田径锦标赛的比赛时间为5月16日——5月19日，男子百米的预赛和决赛都在第一天举行。

There was no suspense in the preliminaries. Wu Zhiqiang ran 10 seconds in the first group to advance to the final, and Xie Zhenye ran 34 seconds in the third group to advance to the final.

Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang, Xu Haiyang, Mo Youtai, Xu Zhouzheng, Yang Yang, Liang Jinsen, Bie Ke, this is the final list of men's [-]m finals.

There were not many people in the stadium. The National Athletics Championships was the top track and field event in China, but compared to the Shanghai Diamond League and the Yanjing Challenge, the popularity was still far behind.

If Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian came to participate, perhaps tens of thousands of people could be seated.

Entering the final, Wu Zhiqiang looked towards the auditorium on the right side of the [-]-meter runway. Most of the audience came to watch the excitement, unlike when Wu Ziyi was present, there were a bunch of fans holding cheering objects.Of course, there were fans of some athletes at the scene, but none of them had anything to do with him. Wu Zhiqiang searched carefully before seeing his supporters from a certain corner.

Now the one with the most fans is not Xie Zhenye, but Zhang Guowei, a certain "Dragon Absorbing Water" performing artist and a smart high jumper since he was a child.

The 8 athletes in the men's [-]-meter final quickly adjusted their starting blocks and conducted a trial run, and then returned to their preparation positions to wait for instructions.

Just when the live host started to introduce them, there was a voice from the other end of the stadium:
"Pa--, pa--, pa--"

This is applause, and every beat will speed up the rhythm. Audiences who are familiar with track and field know that this is either a long jump event or a high jump event. With the applause getting faster and faster, a tall and thin male athlete began to run up, take off, vacate, and land.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh--!!"

"Zhang Guowei——!"

"Zhang Guowei——!!"

After the host introduced the men's 2-meter contestants, he immediately shifted the topic to the men's high jump: "Congratulations, my country's famous high jumper Zhang Guowei successfully skipped 31 meters, thus reaching the entry standard for the London-London World Championships."

"Huh, another one who has reached the standard." Xie Zhenye breathed out. Although his own 200-meter has also reached the standard, the 100-meter standard is also what he wants to pursue. Seeing more and more brothers and sisters reach the standard, how can he not be envious Woolen cloth?

"Is it my turn now?"

"Everyone on your mark~", it was the starter's instruction that answered Xie Zhenye.

Wu Zhiqiang also began to get nervous. For Xie Zhenye, today's championship is just a tool to meet the standard. With Xie Zhenye's strength, even if he doesn't perform well this time, there will always be opportunities later.But for him, this final is extremely important.

Tang Xingqiang is injured and needs to be cultivated. Whether he can recover to his original strength before the World Championships is still unknown. The relay team will always choose a new replacement for the third bat, so this [-]-meter final is very important for Wu Zhiqiang .

Mo Youtai, Xu Zhouzheng, Yang Yang, Liang Jinsen, and Xu Haiyang and Bie Ke who did not participate in the winter training of the national team are all their opponents. Whoever performs best in this final will have the best chance to become the national team The third leg of the relay team.

Everyone didn't say it on the surface but they all knew in their hearts that whoever can take over the third bat basically means that whoever can win a World Championships medal.

"preparation--"

"boom--!!"

Wu Zhiqiang started quickly with the firing of the starting gun, and started and accelerated smoothly according to the pace and rhythm tailored for him by Randy and Ralphman during the winter training.

Although Xie Zhenye was on the fifth lane to his left, he didn't pay attention to him at all, because he and Xie Zhenye were not competitors. His opponent was eyeing the third bat position of the relay team just like him. everyone.

Among them, Wu Zhiqiang believes that his biggest opponent is Xu Zhouzheng in the seventh lane on his right. He ran a personal best of 7 seconds at the National Grand Prix Taiyuan on the 9th of this month.Although he lost to his own time of 10 seconds, the gap of 31 seconds showed that the difference in strength between the two was not that big. Maybe Xu Zhouzheng could beat him this time?

After setting off, Xu Zhouzheng was really fast, but Wu Zhiqiang was not in a hurry, because Xu Zhouzheng had a fatal flaw in his opinion—raising his head too early.

From the knowledge learned from Randy, Su Bingtian, and Wu Ziyi, he knows that raising the head too early will indeed make the athlete's top 30 faster, but ending the low-center-of-gravity acceleration stage too early will cause fatigue during running.

It is reasonable to say that the two benchmarks of Chinese men's sprint - the examples of Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian are there. The national team players should not make such mistakes, but Xu Zhouzheng did just that, and he doesn't know when the winter training Why didn't Yuan Guoqiang correct him.

At 30 meters, Xie Zhenye and Xu Zhouzheng were leading together, followed closely by Wu Zhiqiang and Yang Yang, who were one position behind, and the others were even further behind.

At 50 meters, Xie Zhenye's speed has gradually increased, pulling away Xu Zhouzheng by half a body, and Wu Zhiqiang is also preparing to enter his extreme speed state, and he has recovered the half body gap.

"Puff puff puff puff——" In just 6 steps, Wu Zhiqiang tied with Xu Zhouzheng, while Xie Zhenye was one body ahead of the two.

Xie Zhenye's victory was determined, and Wu Zhiqiang was very happy. He was already ready to be blown away by Xie Zhenye. His goal was clear from the beginning - to win against Xu Zhouzheng and other competitors.

"At the beginning of the race, Xu Zhouzheng started very well. He and Xie Zhenye were tied in the front row. After 50 meters, Xie Zhenye gradually widened the gap. Wu Zhiqiang overtook Xu Zhouzheng. Look at the final sprint - Xie Zhenye crossed the finish line first. , 10 seconds 09. Congratulations to Xie Zhenye, he has successfully qualified for the men's [-]-meter event at the London-London World Championships!"

As Xie Zhenye crossed the finish line and ran a time of 10 seconds, the audience cheered. Another Chinese athlete qualified to participate in the London-London World Championships. This is something to be very happy about.

Wu Zhiqiang was also waiting for his own results. He had a hunch that he should be able to refresh his PB this time. After all, Xie Zhenye had already run 10 seconds, and he actually caught him in the second half, and the gap was not too big.

"How do you feel?" Xie Zhenye looked back to find Wu Zhiqiang. He was still very happy. Although 10 seconds may not be the final result, but in domestic competitions at the level of the National Championships, it is impossible to have an error of more than 09 seconds. Bar?
"It's not bad, it feels like it can break the PB." Wu Zhiqiang and Xie Zhenye hugged each other, and their eyes were fixed on the big screen.

Suddenly, Xie Zhenye's original score was disturbed, and then the scores of other players were also updated one after another:
Wind speed (+0.4m/s)

1 Zhejiang——Xie Zhenye 10.10 SB
2 Hubei——Wu Zhiqiang 10.21 PB
3 Magic City——Xu Zhouzheng 10.29 PB
"Yeah! I have it!"
