Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 307 Unyielding
Gatlin, DeGrasse, Jimmy Lee, and Tracy went out, and Wu Ziyi didn't know the remaining players. Cheng Guanfeng's failure to directly enter the semi-finals was expected by Wu Ziyi. His strength was not stable yet. It has not reached the level that can stably control the score within 10 seconds 20.

After the second group shot, Wu Zhiqiang's third group also lined up and went out. At this time, half of the men's [-]-meter preliminaries remained in the field room.

没过多久第二组的成绩出炉，在逆风0.8m/s的条件下，加特林跑出10秒06轻松晋级，德格拉斯凭借着后程能力后程追赶跑出10秒13排在第二，亚当·吉米利10秒19，No.4的特雷西10秒21。

After the second group, it was the turn of the No.2 player of the Chinese team, Wu Zhiqiang, to play.

Yang Jian: "Okay, coming to the third group of the men's 9m preliminaries, Wu Zhiqiang came on the stage, and he was in the ninth lane. Among the players in this group, several players' PB broke 10 seconds, but in this group There are only two runners under 10 seconds this season, one is the British player Janne Hughes, and the other is the Nigerian player Raymond Ekwo."

Because CCTV did not broadcast the men's [-]-meter qualifying competition, Wu Zhiqiang's qualifying results were thoughtfully played for the domestic audience in the broadcast screen at this time.

Zhang Peimeng: "Wu Zhiqiang ran 10 seconds in the qualifying round. From my point of view, his state today should be close to his best time, because he ran 34 meters faster in the qualifying round."

Wu Zhiqiang's qualifying group was very lucky, and his opponent was very weak. Of course, this is also a common situation in the qualifying competition. Except for the first place in the four groups, the best time of the other players in the qualifying competition was only 10 seconds, so Wu Zhiqiang also experienced I got the feeling of being a "master".

But now, he has to go all out, and even if he goes all out, he may not be able to advance smoothly, at least in terms of statistics-except for De Gambia's Kamara who participated in the qualifying round with Wu Zhiqiang, the other players The best time of the season is 10 seconds.

The three strongest players in this group are:
第4道的英国选手詹内·修斯，个人最好成绩是为9秒91，赛季最好成绩是9秒95；

第7道的南非选手西蒙·马克维（Simon MAGAKWE），个人最好成绩9秒98，赛季最好成绩10秒05；

第8道的尼日利亚选手雷蒙德·埃克沃，在今年8月27日的非洲运动会男子百米决赛上创造了个人最好成绩9秒96。

Among the eight players, Wu Zhiqiang's PB ranks seventh, just higher than Kamara, a player from Gambia, the number one military power in Africa. His situation seems to be more severe than that of Cheng Guanfeng.

“On your marks~”

Wu Zhiqiang's face was serious. This was the most severe test he faced this year. Even facing the big three of Su, Xie, and Wu in Shenyang, it didn't make him feel so heavy.

In domestic competitions, everyone bows their heads and looks up. Even if they fail the selection, as long as the results are not difficult to see, they can always get some comfort, and now he is wearing the national team uniform!

The light of Su, Xie, and Wu was so dazzling that all the sprinters in the country couldn't shine a little in front of them.

I also want to stand under the spotlight, not in the relay, but in a light that belongs to me!
Wu Zhiqiang's dignified complexion has different interpretations in different people's minds.

Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang's face really looks murderous."

Zhang Peimeng: "Yes, it seems that Wu Zhiqiang is ready to fight hard in this shot!"

Wu Zhiqiang's feet were already firmly on the starting blocks, his hands and fingers supported his body strongly, his head was lowered, and a gold chain was hanging on his chest.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

"The race has begun! Wu Zhiqiang's start was still a bit slow, and he failed to get a relatively leading position in the future. Wu Zhiqiang accelerated and added up his speed!"

Before entering the midway run, the figure Wu Zhiqiang could see was Raymond Ekwo, who was born in 8 and was about the same size as Cheng Guanfeng, but he had a PB score that he envied.

Listening to the gun, reacting, pedaling, connecting, and accelerating, he already felt that he was behind Raymond Ekwo before he fully raised his head. The first 30 meters has always been his weakness, and this time is no exception.

Randy Huntington was watching the game in an auditorium at the Khalifa Stadium. Sitting next to him was undoubtedly his old buddy Ralph Mann. At this time, the situation on the field was not in their hearts As the world's top track and field coaches and scholars, they have long expected this to happen.

Under Randy, he will formulate a different training plan for each athlete, and each plan has a different focus.

Before officially joining the team, Randy didn't know much about Wu Zhiqiang. After all, he had too many top players under him before, not to mention Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wang Jianan, Shi Yuhao, each of them was at least in Asia Top players in the field.

So Randy asked Wu Zhiqiang the simplest question: Future?balanced?Future?
The meaning of this question is not that Randy will train him in that direction if Wu Zhiqiang answers. The purpose of Randy asking this question is to test whether Wu Zhiqiang’s understanding of himself is in place. The answer fits perfectly with Randy's analysis - the later stage.

Although his talent is far from that of Su, Xie, and Wu, what Randy admires most about Wu Zhiqiang is that he dared to apply to join his team and was able to persevere.

Not everyone can adapt to Randy's training intensity. Every year, there are many athletes who take the initiative to find connections with his team, but most of them choose to quit after learning about the training intensity or trial training within less than a month. They can persist and gain Growing athletes will always have some qualities that ordinary people do not have:

Meticulous rigor, fearless courage, tenacity and unyielding will, the ability to draw inferences from one example, and the responsibility of others, these qualities Randy has only seen in Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian at the same time, and other athletes more or less lack them. one three.

What Wu Zhiqiang has is unyielding.

This is an NMG guy who knows his own ability clearly, but no matter what level of opponent he faces, he must fight hard!

Wu Zhiqiang, run!chase!
(CCTV) Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang didn't give up, he was still accelerating! Wu Zhiqiang fought hard, the last 20 meters——, sprint!"

(BBC) Tom Hanks: "Hughes has gradually surpassed the first place, and the situation seems to be unable to change. No, it's the Chinese again! What a ferocious acceleration!"

(NHK) Watanabe Yoshiharu: "Is it really the performance of Hughes? Who else can get the seat besides Hughes? Wu Zhiqiang, China's Wu Zhiqiang is struggling to catch up, can he do it?!"

Sprint, press the line!
On 10.08, the timers distributed in the four corners of the field quickly gave the first time to determine the first place in the group - 10 seconds, and Gianne Hughes of England ran out.

Hughes, the current winner, slowed down, turned around with a relaxed expression, shook hands with his opponents one by one, and was the first to walk towards the athlete's aisle.

The approved results of the referee team came out very quickly, and the names and numbers were refreshed on the big screen one after another——

Wind speed: (-0.8m/s)

1 Janne Hughes 10.08
2 Raymond Ekwo 10.14
3 Wu Zhiqiang 10.18
4 Simon MacVey 10.22
Yang Jian: "Wu Zhiqiang, 10 seconds 18! Congratulations to Wu Zhiqiang for winning the third place in the group and directly advancing to the semi-finals!"

Zhang Peimeng: "It's great. The headwind is 0.8 meters per second. Wu Zhiqiang really withstood the pressure. Although he was behind in the future, he still managed to catch up with his running ability on the way."

Yang Jian: "If you look at it this way, the Chinese team must have at least three athletes who can enter the men's 15-meter semi-finals of the World Championships this time. Such results are at least not weaker than the 17th and [-]th World Championships."

Zhang Peimeng: "Congratulations to Wu Zhiqiang!"

Although the match between Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi hadn't started yet, Yang Jian and Zhang Peimeng had already reserved their places. This was not arrogance, but self-confidence.

Whether it is them or the people who are watching the live broadcast in China, there is no reason to believe that Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi will not be able to get tickets to the semi-finals. There is no doubt that they completely believe it!

However, Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi did not disappoint the two commentators, nor did they disappoint the tens of thousands of viewers watching in front of the TV.

第四组，苏炳天10秒06（-0.3m/s）拔得头筹，尤罕·布雷克10秒07排在第二，第三是10秒08的吉米·维考特。

The average strength of the fourth group is relatively strong. The fourth-ranked Côte d'Ivoire's Arthur Cisse also has a time of 10 seconds, and Kiryu Shoshu is fifth in 14 seconds. Judging from the current results, both of them have There is a high chance of entering the semi-finals through substitutes.

第五组的平均实力同样很强，吴子义9秒94（-0.3m/s）轻松出线，巴西选手保罗·安德烈·卡米洛10秒11排在第二，迈克·罗杰斯10秒14位居第三，意大利的菲利普·托图10秒20第四，小池佑龟10秒21位列第五。

第六组科尔曼9秒98（+0.1m/s）领衔，拉蒙特·马塞尔·雅各布斯10秒07第二，萨尼·布朗10秒09第三，No.4的巴西选手罗德里戈·多纳西门托成绩已经来到了10秒25，对程冠峰不构成威胁。

So far, the results of the substitute players are as follows:
The first group, Cheng Guanfeng 10 seconds 22;

The second group, Tecundo Tracy 10 seconds 21;

The third group, Simon Markville, 10 seconds 22;

The fourth group, Arthur Cisse 10 seconds 14, Kiryu Xiangxiu 10 seconds 18;

In the fifth group, Philip Toto 10 seconds 20, Koike Yuki 10 seconds 21.

Both Chen Guanfeng and Simon MacVey took 10 seconds. According to the rules, the percentile is the same and the thousandth percentile needs to be compared.

Chen Guanfeng 10.214, Simon MacVey 10.217!

Cheng Guanfeng, advanced!
