Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 318 The strongest relay preliminaries in history

The men's 4×100m world record has changed several times in the past 30 years.

1991年9月1日，冬京世锦赛，安德烈·卡森、勒罗伊·伯勒尔、丹尼斯·米切尔、卡尔·刘易斯所组成的霉国队第一次将世界纪录带入了37秒50。

On August 1992, 8, Barcelona Olympic Games, also a bad country team, the relay team composed of Mike Marsh, Leroy Burrell, Dennis Mitchell, Carl Lewis once again broke the world record and improved it To 8 seconds 37.

2008年8月22日，燕京奥运会。这一年博尔特横空出世，在100米、200米先后打破世界纪录的情况下，与内斯塔·卡特、迈克尔·弗拉特、阿萨法·鲍威尔组成的牙买加队以37秒10的成绩打破尘封16年的世界纪录，可惜这个记录由于卡特2016年的尿检样本不过关而被取消。

On September 2011, 9, Daegu World Championships.Asafa Powell was injured at the time, and Yohan Blake took over the responsibility to guard the third batter. He joined forces with Nesta Carter, Michael Flat and Usain Bolt to create a time of 4 seconds. world record.

On August 2012, 8, the London Olympic Games.The pinnacle Jamaica team and the pinnacle moldy country team met powerfully. The two teams dedicated a wonderful duel to the world in the final, creating a famous scene of "Eat Raw Pele".The Jamaican team broke the world record again, raising it to 11 seconds. This is the first and only time in human history that the 36×84-meter score is less than 37 seconds.

On October 10th, after three days of repairs, the Doha World Championships had a popular event-the men's 4×4m preliminaries started.

虽然只有晚上的半天赛程，但今天购票入场的观众非常多，毕竟除了男子4×100米预赛，今晚的哈里发体育场将举行男子1500米半决赛、女子4×100米预赛、男子跳高决赛、女子铁饼决赛、女子400米栏决赛、男子3000米障碍决赛、男子400米决赛。

The confluence of the finals of five events and two popular relay events has once again caused a shortage of tickets.

男子跳高决赛在20点15开始，巴尔希姆2米37傲视群雄为卡塔尔夺下一枚金牌，米哈伊尔·阿基门科与伊利亚·伊万纽克两名俄罗斯籍中立运动员以2米35分获银牌与铜牌。

女子4×100米接力预赛在20点40分开始，中国姑娘们以42秒98的成绩晋级了决赛。

Two Chinese girls, Chen Yang and Feng Bin, played in the women's discus final. The start time was only 4 minutes away from the men's 100×5m preliminaries. It is estimated that the results will be determined after the men's relay competition.

Sure enough, just as Feng Bin was preparing for his first throw, the men's 4×100m relay race began. Although there were Chinese girls competing on the field, CCTV's director still switched to the runway for the sake of ratings.

Zhang Peimeng: "Let's take a look at the first group of the men's relay. Looking at it this way, the Chinese team's grouping is actually quite lucky. The strongest are in the first group."

That is to say, Wu Ziyi is gone, otherwise Zhang Peimeng must be pissed off. This year's men's 4×100 lineup is the strongest ever. All the teams that advanced in the preliminaries except the Moldy Country team ran within 38 seconds. Putting the bottom team in this year's finals in the finals of the World Championships and Olympic Games before 2012, they all have the ability to compete for a medal.

Of course, Zhang Peimeng does not have the perspective of God, which is exclusive to Wu Ziyi. In fact, the coaching staff also suggested that Wu Ziyi take a break in the preliminaries.From their point of view, the combination of Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, and Wu Zhiqiang would have no difficulty in making it to the final if Cheng Guanfeng or Xu Zhouzheng made a cameo for the fourth round.

But Wu Ziyi sternly vetoed the proposer - Huang Danwei, making him lose face for a while, but Wu Ziyi didn't explain much, because when the results of the second group came out, the coaching staff would know who was right.

"Snapped--!"

The gunshots sounded, and the first group of matches began. Coleman's start shocked many spectators and commentators present, and it was so fast that the naked eye could see it!

Jimmy Li in the sixth track is actually not slow, but under Coleman's super ability, he instantly became the background board. There is no way. After all, he is facing the second person who can break the 6 mark in this era. !

It was not only the audience and commentators who were frightened, but Gatlin was also taken aback. He had guarded the second baton of the relay for the Moldy Country Team for many years, and it was the first time he met such a fast first baton.

The team's relay skills have always been relatively poor, relying purely on personal strength, so to be on the safe side, their previous bat will basically slow down in advance in the relay zone, but this is also the first time Coleman has served as the first in a game. Great, so he didn't slow down at all.

This made Gatlin a little confused, the acceleration rhythm was directly disrupted, and his running ability was not fully utilized on the way, and he did not take advantage of Janne Hughes and Yohan Blake.

Fortunately, Rogers, who was on the third stick, received the stick smoothly, made a smooth transition, and played well while running with the stick to recover a lot of distance.

But there was another wave of unrest, and Rogers performed well in taking over and running with the baton, but something went wrong again when the baton was handed over.

After all, Rogers is already a 34-year-old senior athlete, and his speed resistance ability has dropped a lot compared to his peak period. Although he has rich experience, he and Gillespie have not practiced much together.

Perhaps Gillespie was too nervous to enter this level of World Series for the first time, and started a lot earlier. Fortunately, after realizing that Rogers had not kept up, he slowed down and took over without causing a foul.

But in this way, the previous advantage disappeared, allowing the English team to throw off at once, and the Brazilian team also took advantage of the momentum to overtake, reaching the finish line before the bad country team.

英吉利队以37秒56的成绩排名第一，巴西队也跑出了37秒90的好成绩，霉国队两个大失误仅跑出38秒03，不过作为小组第三的他们可以直接晋级。

The Italian team and the Jamaica team entered the substitute seats with a time of 38 seconds and 11 seconds respectively. As long as the fifth/fourth place in the second group is lower than them, they can enter the final as substitutes.

Yang Jian: "In the second group, I hope that the Chinese team can have a good handover. As long as the players don't make major mistakes in the handover and show their personal abilities, there must be no problem with the first and second place in the group!"

Zhang Peimeng: "Yes, our current [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]th batsmen are all very strong. Wu Zhiqiang, the third battalion player, may lack a little bit of cornering skills, but his running ability on the way is also quite good. As long as he completes the handover with Wu Ziyi stably, That's all no problem."

Yang Jian: "Let's take a look at the lane division of the second group. The Chinese team is in lane 9. In order of batting order, they are Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang, Wu Ziyi, and Su Xie Shuangwu."

"Nigeria on track 8, Germany on track 7 and France on track 6."

"The fifth team is the Neon team. Their lineup is Koike Yuki, Shiraishi Huangliang, Kiryu Sanghide, and Sani Brown."

"The fourth track is for the South African team, the third track is for the Netherlands, and the second track is for the Ghanaian team. We are very familiar with De Grasse who won the 4-meter bronze medal alongside Xie Zhenye."

The players in the arena were all ready, and the starter quickly gave instructions to take their positions. After the eight first runners were all on their positions on the starting blocks, the preparation instructions were issued:

"Set—"

"Snapped--!"

"The race has started! Su Bingtian's start is fine, his future is still very strong, and he quickly gained a big advantage!"

Su Bingtian seemed to have reproduced the performance of Coleman in the first group, and directly blasted Adgok, the first player of the Nigerian team in the 8th track, with a huge lead.

"Here we go, hand over one or two sticks, Xie Zhen Ye Qi!"

"Beautiful, this is an almost perfect handover, Xie Zhenye speeds up, there it is!"

When the camera shifted from the angle of view of the first shot to the side view of the second shot, Yang Jian found that Xie Zhenye had already moved a lot away from the other times, so he said "yes".

It is true that the lead is very large. When the second player of the South African team and the Neon team crossed the 180-meter line and the third player was about to start, Xie Zhenye had already reached the 190-meter mark, and Wu Zhiqiang had already started six steps away.

"The handover of the second and third clubs, Wu Zhiqiang started, very smooth! In this way, our first three clubs have already accumulated a lot of advantages, and we only need a smooth handover"

Although he had already seen the great advantages of the first three clubs, Wu Ziyi still concentrated all his attention on completing every process of the handover, and successfully took over the baton from Wu Zhiqiang.

"Wu Ziyi has completed the handover, the Chinese team is now in the first position, there is no suspense!"

There was really no suspense, so Wu Ziyi chose to slow down after 80 meters, but he was the first to cross the finish line through the huge advantages accumulated before.

"37 seconds 54! Even though Wu Ziyi released more than 20 meters, the Chinese team still ranked first in the two preliminaries. At this moment, I really want to ask - who else?!"

Yuan Guoqiang in the auditorium breathed a sigh of relief. It must be something to be happy that the boys have achieved such a result and advanced to the final, but at the same time, they are also a little scared.

The South African team ran 37 seconds to set a new national record. The Neon team also ran 65 seconds. The French team, the Dutch team, and the Canadian team also ran under 37 seconds. The level is unprecedented!

If he really listened to his younger brother Huang Danwei asking Xu Zhouzheng or Cheng Guanfeng to come up, if there were any mistakes, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The huge anger of the domestic audience will definitely overwhelm everything. Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye will definitely not be affected, but Wu Zhiqiang and the person who replaced Wu Ziyi will definitely be scolded to death. Someone took the blame and resigned.

It seems that Huang Danwei's ability has not yet been developed, and Yuan Guoqiang is becoming more and more worried that this junior will take over his team. If he thinks about it, he should train more domestic coaches. For example, Chen Wenzhong of the Guangxi team is also quite capable.
