Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 314 Preliminary Award Presentation
May 9 at 29:20pm.

Today's Khalifa Stadium only has a half-day schedule, and all of them are concentrated in the evening. At this time, it is the time for the men's 200-meter preliminaries to start.

There is no qualifying competition for the men's 200m event. A total of 53 athletes are divided into seven groups, with seven to eight people in each group.

Compared with the men's 100 meters, which is a short-track event that tests explosive power, the "composition" of men's 200 meters is obviously more colorful and brighter. The proportion of athletes from Western Europe, Northern Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and other regions has increased significantly. Although the overall strength It may not be comparable to black athletes in Africa and North America, but at least it is more diverse.

After tens of thousands of years of evolution of our Homo sapiens ancestors, modern humans in different regions have different characteristics, such as "blacks of West African descent are better at sprinting, and blacks of East African descent are better at long-distance running", which are determined by their environmental factors , but it does not mean that the elites selected by the masses in other regions must not be able to cross the so-called "racial" upper limit.

The amount of nutritional intake, whether the training system is scientific and perfect, and whether the selection mechanism is reasonable, there are too many factors that will affect the development of athletes.Countries with a relatively backward economy can often only train a single category of athletes, such as Jamaica's sprint and Ethiopia's long-distance running. Although big countries such as China, the United States, Russia, and the UK may be defeated by smaller countries in some events, compared with the entire sports system, It must be a complete victory.

Xie Zhenye, who had been waiting for a long time, finally ushered in the opportunity to play. Seeing that his elder brother Su Bingtian had won the third place in the [-]-meter race, and he would receive a medal tonight, he couldn't bear the loneliness in his heart.

Although he faced Gianne Hughes, Yobowana and Koike Yuki in the preliminaries, he completely controlled the battlefield. He overtook Gianne Hughes in the later stage when he did not start fast and accelerate the corners. Hughes won the first place in the group.

Xie Zhenye released water and ran 20.210 (+0.5m/s), Janne Hughes 20.24, Yobowana 20.35, Koike Yuki 20.46, and Koike Yuki, who is currently the strongest 200-meter in Neon China, only ran this result. Others must have no chance.

You must know that the top three in the preliminaries of the men's 200m event advance directly, and there are a total of 24 places in the semi-finals, and there are only 3 replacement places in total.

Xie Zhenye's group is the second group. The No.4 in the first group is Nigeria's Odudulu, with a score of 20 seconds. Koike Yuki is now ranked second in the bench, and there are five more behind. The group, the hope of advancing is very slim.

This time, Wu Ziyi was not assigned to the finale, but was assigned to the fourth group with the weakest average strength. Wu Ziyi just finished the men's 20-meter flying competition yesterday, and his physical strength was very high, so he didn't want to exert his strength in the preliminaries.So he ran a full walk in 42 seconds and ranked second in the group. The first was Trinidad and Tobago's Kyle Greo (20 seconds).

The subsequent promotions were all old acquaintances of Wu Ziyi.

The fifth group is Canada's Aaron Brown, England's Francisco, Jamaica's Dwyer;
The sixth group is Douglas, South Africa's Munia, and Ukraine's Smerik;
The seventh group is Trinidad and Tobago's Richards, Dazui Lyles, and Canada's Rodney.

Wu Ziyi and Xie Zhenye did not leave after the preliminaries, but found a seat in the auditorium to sit down and watch the competition. There is still a long time before the men's 100-meter awards ceremony. Final, men's triple jump final, mixed 4x400m final, and women's 100m final.

Wu Ziyi likes this Doha World Championships very much, because the music played on the spot is very suitable for Wu Ziyi's appetite. For example, in the women's 100m final, the athletes played a piece of pure music that Wu Ziyi liked very much when they entered the field for a test run—— Piercing Light (Mako Remix).

This piece of pure music included in the fist music album "Warsongs" has a Chinese name that LOL players are very familiar with [Through Body Shengguang], which is the Q skill of the hero Lucian, and the cello performance is a must.

The opening of the women's 100m was also extremely cool, not inferior to yesterday's men's 100m final. Wu Ziyi, who was sitting in the auditorium, also experienced a live audience perspective, which was very cool!

"Snapped--!"

With the sound of the starting gun, the eight female trapeze girls from all over the world launched this year's peak competition.

The 33-year-old Jamaican Rocket Fraser once again showed his absolute top competitive state. He suppressed Thompson and Al Smith around him from the start, leading from the beginning to the end, and won his fourth place with a time of 10 seconds. Women's 71m gold medal at the World Championships!
Perhaps her dominance is much worse than that of Usain Bolt. After all, her women's 100-meter Olympic gold medal is one less than Bolt's, and there is no 100-meter world record belonging to her. But it is undeniable that she is definitely a legend of women's sprint!

After the women's 100m final, it's time for the men's 100m award ceremony that ended yesterday, which is also the last "show" at the Khalifa Stadium tonight.

Wu Ziyi left the auditorium after seeing Fraser cross the line first, and reached the mixed passage area, where Coleman and Su Bingtian were already waiting.

Coleman is still so cold, there is no unnecessary communication between him and Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian except for a "hello", but Wu Ziyi does not intend to communicate with him, he has many athlete friends, there is no need to insist Use a hot face to stick a cold ass.

Su Bingtian was very excited. The frequency and magnitude of his deep breaths even made Wu Ziyi feel that he was preparing for the men's [-]-meter final.

"Three winners, please follow me into the venue!"

After the staff waited for the women's 100-meter athletes to leave the field, they politely and smiled and guided in front. The three followed the staff in the order of Su Bingtian, Wu Ziyi, and Coleman.

Entering the stadium through the athlete's passage that has been walked several times, the lights are brilliant, like daytime.

The attendance rate of the Khalifa Stadium tonight is not high. The stadium last night was full of seats. Tickets are priced but not available. Every area is full of people.

But today, the occupancy rate of the seats on the north and east sides is estimated to be less than [-]%, the west side, that is, the side of the [-]-meter runway, is full of people, and the south side is not bad, with an occupancy rate of nearly [-]%.

Although the women's 100-meter final was as exciting as it was, compared with the men's 100-meter final, it was indeed much weaker in terms of influence and viewing. This is true in many sports.

Wu Ziyi was very happy, because after he entered the arena, five-star red flags began to be waved continuously in the auditorium, and the audience kept shouting in his ears. They were all shouting the names of the three athletes, among which Wu Ziyi's name was naturally The most, and it is a multilingual version.

They waited from afternoon to night for this moment.

Men's 100m Victory Ceremony.

Both Wu Ziyi and Su Bingtian were wearing their fiery red national team uniforms, which formed a very sharp contrast with Coleman's dark indigo national team uniforms.

Looking at the red flags waving in the auditorium, and listening to the continuous cheers coming from his ears, the blood in Wu Ziyi's body was rushing.

Seven years have passed since the summer of 2012. He grew up step by step from that young high school student, and achieved the defending title of the men's [-]-meter event in the World Championships.

During the seven years, he stepped up to the podium time and time again, wearing five-star red time and time again, and every time he took the stage, he couldn't calm down in his heart.

"2019 IAAF Doha World Athletics Championships, men's 100m gold medalist, from China - Wu Ziyi!!!"

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Wu Ziyi stepped onto the podium again. Sebastian Coe, President of the IAAF, won the gold medal and presented the award to Wu Ziyi.

"Congratulations, new legend! I hope I can still see you standing on this pinnacle podium in Dongjing next year. Of course, it will not be me presenting the award to you at that time, but Mr. Thomas Bach."

"thank you very much!"

Standing on the highest podium, the familiar prelude to the March of the Volunteers played, and the three national flags were slowly raised on the flagpoles of the venue.

On the right is the 50-star national flag of the United States, and on the left and in the middle are the national flags of the People's Republic of China forged with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs!

The five-star red flag, as bright as blood, fluttered in the wind against the night wind in Doha, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators at the Khalifa Stadium!
