Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 292 Doha Asian Championships

There was a lot of joy during the winter training. Although Wu Zhiqiang shouted "I'm so tired", "Shark me", and "I want to go back to Hubei", he still persisted because he knew he couldn't afford to delay.

In the 2018 season, from the Zhaoqing Grand Prix, to the Guiyang Championship, and then to the Taiyuan Championship, he and Wu Ziyi's younger brother Cheng Guanfeng PK three times, and lost the first two times.A senior in 94 lost to a young player in 00, which really made him hard to say.

Fortunately, at the last Taiyuan National Athletics Championships, he finally recovered his form and ran a 10. Although he was only the runner-up, he returned to the 27 club anyway.

Wu Zhiqiang feels that his winter training is very effective, but whether he has recovered his 17-year level remains to be seen.

So in order to test his strength, after the Spring Festival and the last stage of training, he followed Su Bingtian's footsteps and embarked on a journey to a foreign country.

One of the two teams flew to Europe and the other to Canada, and the schedule was three stops.

On February 2th, Athlone, Ireland, AIT International Indoor Grand Prix, 13 seconds in the preliminaries, 6 seconds in the final;

On February 2th, Birmingham, Britain, Miller Indoor Grand Prix, 16 seconds in the preliminaries, 6 seconds in the final;

On February 2th, Dusseldorf, Germany, IAAF Indoor Tournament, 20 seconds 6.

Su Bingtian won all three battles.

Feb. 2, Norwalk, Calif., Ceresto Open, 23 seconds, wind speed unknown;
March 3, Los Angeles, California, "Oxy Distance Carnival" Spring Classic, 9 seconds (+10m/s);
March 3, San Diego, California, Aztec Annual Invitational, 23 (+10m/s).

Wu Zhiqiang won all three games.

Xu Zhouzheng, danger!
Qatar is a small country, but it is really rich. In recent years, it has continued to speak out in Asia and the international community, and has frequently held various international competitions and concerts.

The task of the 2019 Doha Asian Championships is to accumulate experience for the Doha World Championships 5 months later. Although it is a championship in the Asian region, it has also attracted many masters to participate.

Of course, Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian did not participate. The gold content and influence of the Asian Championships are far less than the Asian Games, so they are not interested in this event.

Moreover, participating with their strength will inevitably be a bit of a bully, and it will also damage the self-confidence of athletes from other countries, which is not good for public opinion.

In the men's 100m and 200m, the Chinese team sent 4 players: Xu Zhouzheng, Wu Zhiqiang; Xie Zhenye, Liang Jinsen.

Su Bingtian stayed at home to nurse the child, Wu Ziyi couldn't bear the loneliness and flew to Doha with the national team. After getting off the plane, the reporters from all over the world were shocked. They all abandoned their interview subjects and rushed to Wu Ziyi's side to bombard , after getting Wu Ziyi's reply of "not participating" repeated a hundred times, he left resentfully.

4 month 22 day.

Wu Ziyi sat in the spectator seats of the Khalifa Stadium. Perhaps it was because of Wu Ziyi's arrival that the stadium that should have been empty added a lot of life.

Since Wu Ziyi entered the stadium, most of the people who were aimed at were Wu Ziyi, the "spectator" rather than the athletes in the stadium. Although he was a little upset, he was always a little happy in his heart. After all, everyone hopes that they will be the center of attention. .

The men's [-]-meter final will be held off the field. Since Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian and Femi Ogunode did not participate, this game is destined to give birth to a new "Asian champion".

There were a total of 6 athletes off the court. Before the start of the final, Ryota Yamagata of Neon retired, making the ending of the game even more confusing. Iran's Hassan Taftan also retired.

Yang Junhan from Chinese Taipei, Zoli from Indonesia, Andre Fisher from Bahrain, Sangsu Kiryu from Neon, Jin Guorong from Cold Country, and Wu Zhiqiang from China.

Xu Zhouzheng went to the Tumbleweed Club in Florida with Wei Yongli and others during the winter training, trained under the guidance of Renault, and was a classmate with De Grasse, Adam Jimilli and others, but the initial effect seemed not obvious.

比起吴致强开赛10秒20的水平，3月29日佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的一场由百事可乐赞助的接力赛中，面对+2.6m/s的超大顺风，他居然才跑出了10秒43的成绩。

After coming to Doha, the preliminaries were 10 seconds (+41m/s), and the semi-finals were 0.5 seconds (+10m/s). If we only look at the effects of these three games, maybe not all athletes can adapt Renault's teaching.

“On your marks~”

With this command, the long guns and short cannons that were aimed at Wu Ziyi finally shifted their targets.

Wu Zhiqiang in the camera seems to be "older". With the string of gold chains, if you take off the national team uniform, put on a small vest and wear small sunglasses, people's first impression is that he will be the boss .

"Set—"

"boom--!"

With a gunshot, the [-]-meter final began.

Wu Zhiqiang's starting reaction to this shot was a bit slow, and the starting acceleration was not good enough. He was at a relatively disadvantaged position in the first 30 meters, and Yang Junhan, Zuo Li and Fisher were in the lead.

Entering the mid-running stage, Jin Guorong suddenly suffered a strain and dropped the chain directly, while Wu Zhiqiang and Kiryu Xiangxiu began to catch up with all their strength.

At 60 meters, Zuo Li still has a half-length lead, Yang Junhan and Fisher have begun to show signs of decline, Kiryu Xiangxiu tied with Fisher, and Wu Zhiqiang tied with Yang Junhan.

The situation on the court was very tense. Except for the injured Jin Guorong, the gap between the other five players was not that big.

Wu Zhiqiang's condition is very good. Although he fell behind a lot in the first 30 meters, he did recover a lot through his excellent running ability on the way.

As the contestants crossed the finish line, there was sparse applause in the stadium. It can be seen that the Qatari audience was not very enthusiastic. Not much interest, watching Wu Ziyi is obviously more interesting than watching the game.

"Damn! This start is really bad. If I can run smoothly, I can run within 10 seconds!" Wu Zhiqiang walked to Wu Ziyi cursingly and complained.

Wu Ziyi looked at the big screen, and the results of the 6 players were already displayed on it:

Wind speed: (+1.5m/s)

1 Kiryu Sohide 10.10 SB
2 Zhiqiang Wu 10.13 PB
3 Mohammad Zoli 10.13 PB
"Isn't this good? It's broken PB, why are you still complaining?"

Wu Ziyi felt that Wu Zhiqiang must be pretending to be a cup. After all, he said before the game that "if he can break the PB, he will be considered a success", and he did perform very well during the race, and he was not weaker than Kiryu Xiangxiu at all.

The talented teenager Zoli from Indonesia also ran quite well. He led by nearly 90 meters from the start, and was overtaken in the final sprint stage. Moreover, this little brother ran a PB in 10 seconds in the semi-finals. The final was played again, and Wu Ziyi felt that he was very hopeful to break through the 15 mark this year.

On the other hand, Kiryu Xiangxiu didn't even grasp the strong wind of 1.5m/s. The time of 10 seconds 10 really lost the title of "Fengshen". I don't know why there are so many diehard fans of NC. His 9 Second 98 can be compared to Wu Ziyi's 9 seconds 66.

Then the champion of the Asian Championships, at least to say, has to compare with Ogunod's 15 seconds in 9, right?
The men's 100 meters is very anxious, and the men's 200 meters is unilaterally crushed by Xie Zhenye.

Xie Zhenye originally wanted to compete with Ogu Nord, after all, he is also a master with a PB of 19 seconds. Who knows that after entering the corner, he did not see Ogu Nord's shadow, but Koike Yugui who was next to him chased him. very hard.

In the first outdoor match, Xie Zhenye was also trying to get back to his game state, so he was relatively conservative in the corners. Seeing Koike Yugui chasing after him, he also became interested.

After turning the corner into the straight, he set aside a short distance first, allowing Koike Yuki to lead himself by half a body, and waited until the middle of the straight before suddenly exerting force and teleporting directly.

From being half a body behind to two when crossing the finish line, Xie Zhenye finally had a good time, 20 seconds 33 (+1.7m/s), Xie Zhenye ended his season opener with ease.

　Let’s make a transition today, we are perfecting the plot design for 2019 and later, and we will return to the topic tomorrow~
