More than 10 current world No. [-] players including Shubenkov, Manyonga, Hassan, Stephanty and Chepkoch have also arrived in Shanghai to prepare for the competition.

In last year's war, Coleman lost all four games and Lyles won the diamond award, but the best result of the season was created by Wu Ziyi. The determination to launch the most powerful impact on the championship throne.

In the 110-meter hurdles event that local audiences in Shanghai are most concerned about, the famous local athlete Xie Wenjun who just won the championship in the Asian Championships and broke the competition record will join the rising star Zeng Jianhang to meet the challenge of the world team.

The story of the "love and killing" between Jamaican star McLeod and Rio Olympic runner-up Ortega is also worth looking forward to. Is the former successful in hitting the "four consecutive championships" or the latter taking revenge for 0.01 seconds last year?In addition, the addition of world record holder Merritt and world No. [-] Shubenkov made the already anxious situation even more confusing.Who will rule the roost in a chaotic war is intriguing.

In this campaign, they will face the Rio Olympic champion and Jamaican star Thompson. The Chinese female players who are in good condition will definitely use all their strength to compete for the championship.

Having held the competition in Shanghai for ten years, the Shanghai Diamond League has witnessed the first moments of many Chinese track and field stars. Let us look forward to this world confrontation staged on the land of China! "

"Wow, sister, there are so many people!"

Xia Mu hugged Wen Ying's arm and entered the stadium under the protection of Huajiao and others. After taking a seat, there was a sea of ​​people, and there were no vacant seats in sight. This made little Xia Mu look like "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden".

Wen Ying touched Xia Mu's little head affectionately, "Of course there are too many people. Anyway, it is said that 5 tickets were sold out in less than an hour. This year's Magic City has gathered so many star players. It must be pretty."

Xia Mu stared at the little head and gently rubbed Wen Ying's chin, and said softly: "Sister, brother-in-law must win the championship again today, right? It's amazing, and now everyone is looking forward to when brother-in-law can break the world record .”

"Where is the world record broken at will? Ziyi said it's difficult, and he doesn't have much confidence." Wen Ying helped Xia Mu who was tired of her arms, and poked her on the forehead, "It's you , Didn’t Ah Feng confess his love to you, how did you come back to him?”

"I didn't reply much, I just didn't agree, and I didn't refuse."

Hearing this answer, Wen Ying stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek fiercely, and said seriously: "Xiamu, you are promising! And you have learned how to catch winners? You are not allowed to be a scumbag! Let me tell you, Ah Feng is your brother-in-law's darling, you are not allowed to mess around! If you don't like it, just refuse, and I will try not to let you meet in the future."

"Oh, it hurts!" Xia Mu broke free from his claws aggrievedly, "I think he is pretty good, but I don't really like him. When he confessed his love, I made a promise with him that if he can enter the World Championships this year, I will Agreeing to associate with him, isn't that considered hanging?"

"World Championships? Ah Feng is only 19 years old, you might as well just refuse!"

"But didn't my brother-in-law also enter the World Championships when he was 19?"

"."

This is the first time in Wu Zhiqiang's career to participate in the single event of the Diamond League. The joy in his heart cannot be concealed. This opportunity was given up by Xie Zhenye, because this year he will focus on the 200-meter event. Of course, his current ranking Also really qualified for this game.

This time the opponent is not the second-rate North American athletes that California met, nor is it Kiryu Shoshu who can only dominate in Asian competitions, but a world-class or even top player with a minimum PB of 9 seconds.

Nervous, this is the first time to participate in the Diamond League, which is second only to the Olympics and World Championships, how can you not be nervous?
"Don't panic! Brother Qiang, if you think this way, you can't win anyway, so you might as well just fight. With so many experts leading you to run, isn't it easy to break a PB?"

Xie Zhenye walked up to Wu Zhiqiang's side and cheered him on. Wu Zhiqiang angrily slapped him on the chest: "Thank you, don't let me down. Brother Qiang, I will be the younger brother when I play!"

"Brother Qiang, if you are the younger brother, then I am nothing." Zeng Jiahang from the 110-meter hurdles also came over and joked: "At least you still have to work hard to get this qualification, and I am different. They came in to gather people."

What Zeng Jiahang said is true. The sprint event of each station of the Diamond League usually only has 8 seats, unless it is a special site with a multi-gun system and preliminaries and finals. Since there are 9 tracks in the Modu Stadium, there are naturally 9 places. .

The men's 110m hurdles and 100m are different. The former invited 8 world experts to participate. Zeng Jiahang was sent in by the Shanghai Sports Bureau to gather the number of people. The 100m itself is scheduled to invite 9 athletes, but Xie Zhenye He just gave up his spot to Wu Zhiqiang.

"You are still young, study hard and practice hard. When you reach the age of your strong brother, you will definitely be able to qualify for the Diamond League with your strength!" Xie Wenjun also walked over to encourage this junior who is 8 years younger than himself.

The Chinese players encouraged each other and had a great time. Wu Ziyi was very pleased. On the other hand, other countries, especially the unlucky countries, had 100 unlucky players in the men's 4-meter event, but their communication with each other from entering the warm-up field was not as good as that of Xie Zhenye. The amount of 2 minutes.

"The inspection of the men's 200m event has begun, please come to the inspection gate to accept the inspection!"

Hearing the staff's call, Xie Zhenye, who had already warmed up, jumped up and waved goodbye: "I'm leaving, you warm up well, let me give you a good start today!"

"Set—"

"boom--!"

The air in the Modu Stadium seemed to be ignited by this gunshot in an instant. After receiving the signal of the starting gun, the 8 runners on the track began to bubble and accelerate like arrows leaving the string. More than 5 spectators immediately cheered boiling.

In the lower right corner of the live TV screen, the timer followed up in real time, and the number "19.69" was marked in the "MR" column above, which was the record set by Wu Ziyi in 2017.

The situation in the arena is very tense, especially Aaron Brown and De Grasse in the 4th and 5th tracks, and Clarence Munia and Xie Zhenye in the 8th and 9th tracks. Running on the track at an unstoppable speed.

"Xie Zhenye—" "Xie Zhenye—"

Xie Zhenye's name was constantly shouted in the stadium, and the Chinese audience showed their enthusiasm to cheer for the warriors of the motherland.

Perhaps feeling the enthusiasm of his compatriots, Xie Zhenye also began to shake his head. The insider Munia was still unable to close the gap in stature with him.

Turning into the straight, Xie Zhenye and Aaron Brown kept pace, while the South African national record holder Munia was half a body behind him, followed by De Grasse.

In the commentary seat of CCTV Sports Channel, Yang Jianzheng passionately explained the game on the field: "Xie Zhenye's start was still very good at the start of the game. In the first 50 meters, Munia didn't get much closer."

"Aaron Brown in Canada, very strong, he held down De Grasse."

"Curved into the straight, Xie Zhenye ran very well, and Aaron Brown kept pace with each other. Now we will see who has the stronger rear end ability!"

"De Grasse is chasing, Xie Zhenye resists, hold on! The final sprint—"

"20 seconds 06, a very good result. Xie Zhenye won the men's 200m championship in the Shanghai Diamond League, and also made a good start for Xie Wenjun, Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian and others."

The audience in the stadium once again gave loud cheers and applause. Xie Zhenye was also very happy. Although he did not refresh his best result, he finally won the championship of the Diamond League today. Although there are no points for non-diamond events, he believes that as long as Keep it up, the next game will not be bad!

The contestants came over one by one to congratulate Xie Zhenye, shook hands and hugged him in turn, and when it was De Grasse's turn, Xie Zhenye whispered in his ear:

"Welcome back, DeGrasse!"

"Yes, I'm back!"
