Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 323 Welcome back, Tang Xingqiang!

Xie Zhenye, who stopped to be interviewed by a reporter from Zhejiang TV, was a little helpless. He, Wu Ziyi, and Su Bingtian were both athletes of Randy's coaching staff. The first two didn't increase their training intensity, so naturally he didn't either.

From winter training to January, everyone’s training was forced to be interrupted, and there were no competitions to participate in for the next few months. In addition to the postponement of the Winter Beijing Olympics, there is no need for too high-intensity training. Xie Zhenye’s current state is better than that of It must have dropped a lot from last year's peak period.

But fortunately, if you lose in the 100 meters, you will lose. Anyway, as long as your own 200 meters special athlete doesn't match Wu Ziyi, won't it be easy to win the 200 meters championship?

The scores of the contestants are refreshed, which is quite different from the first time displayed on the previous timer:
Wind speed: (-0.2m/s)

1 Cheng Guanfeng, Jingfeng 10.23 SB
2 Xie Zhenye, Zhejiang 10.25 SB
3 Zhang Ruixuan, Guangdong 10.34 SB
4 Yan Haibing, Jingfeng 10.35 PB
5 Wu Zhiqiang, Hubei 10.36 SB
6 Cheng Jiapeng, Jilin 10.49 SB
7 Xu Zhouzheng, Modu 10.50 SB
8 Mo Youxi, Guangdong 10.57
A Cheng Guanfeng may be accidental, and people may say "Wu Ziyi just happened to pick up a talented person", but now there is another Yan Haibing, so it cannot be explained by accident.

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

A Chen Guanfeng who defeated Xie Zhenye, a 17-year-old Yan Haibing who ran 10 seconds and 35PB, at this time, many people in the track and field circle who watched the game on the field or through TV thought that they had to change their thinking to re-examine Wu Ziyi's track and field club up.

Cheng Guanfeng and Yan Haibing in the arena were being interviewed by CCTV and Guangxi TV respectively. Wu Ziyi in the auditorium showed a gratified smile, tilted his head and said to the man next to him who was a head lower than him: "Are you ready? Feng has already killed Lao Xie, you can't lose to this kid."

"I'll try my best!"

************
September 9 at 17:20, Shangyu Sports Center.

Today is the third competition day of the 2020 Shangyu National Athletics Championships. Currently, there are men’s triple jump finals and women’s hammer finals on the field. Wu Ziyi, Cheng Guanfeng, and Lao Yi are sitting in the audience seats near the finish line watching the field the match of.

On the other side of the stadium, eight athletes are active in the 200-meter starting area. They are either adjusting the starting block or conducting a test run, meticulously preparing for this year's hard-won race.

Although Xie Zhenye unexpectedly lost to Cheng Guanfeng in the men's 15m final on the 100th, for the men's 200m final, all the online platforms before the match agreed that Xie Zhenye would win the championship without any pressure.

Xie Zhenye's PB came to 19 seconds, second in Asia, and the bronze medalist of the Doha World Championships last year. Isn't that a dimensionality reduction blow without Wu Ziyi's participation?

Tang Xingqiang finished his test run and was about to go back to his starting preparation area to take off his thermal clothing. He happened to meet Xie Zhenye's eyes. What he saw in Xie Zhenye's eyes was absolute confidence and domineering arrogance.

"Heh—" Tang Xingqiang shook his head and chuckled, not at Xie Zhenye, but at himself.

Taking off his thermal clothing, sitting on the numbered stool to soothe his emotions, Tang Xingqiang recalled his experiences in the past few years.

The 2016 Rio Olympics was the highlight moment in his life. At that time, Zhang Peimeng's state declined seriously, and Xu Zhouzheng, Wu Zhiqiang and others had not yet risen, so he took over the important task of the first baton of the national men's relay team. Together with Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye, he won the Olympic relay silver medal.

Tang Xingqiang originally thought that his life would continue to move upwards, but fate played a small joke on him.

During the winter training in 17, he was injured. Just as Wu Zhiqiang and Xu Zhouzheng broke through the 10 mark one after another, he returned from the national team to the provincial team.

The days of returning to the provincial team were very difficult. Although the track and field team of the Fujian Track and Field Cycling Center he was in had briefly served as the winter training base for the national team, the training conditions were still much worse than those of the Yanjing General Administration.

It doesn't matter if the training conditions are poor, as long as he can improve his performance and return to the national team, he is willing to suffer any hardship.

伤病逐渐好转，但成绩始终提不回去，2017年就算身上带伤他也能够三次跑到10秒45左右的水平，200米也能跑到20秒6。

可到了2018年，他的100米仅跑进过一次10秒50，200米也只跑进过一次21秒。

In 2019, maybe he was really not sociable, or maybe the leaders felt that he no longer had the value of training, and he was marginalized.

The person who swears and proudly said "I am proud of Tang Xingqiang!" in front of reporters and in front of the elders of his hometown in Fujian after the Rio Olympics—his coach Lan Yingxiong, gave up on him!

During that time, he felt desperate for a while, until he saw the young man named Cheng Guanfeng with the word "Jingfeng" sweeping the Grand Prix in China.

The Asian Grand Prix in Chongqing set the fifth PB in Chinese history, won a seat in the Shenyang World Championships trials, and broke into the men's 00-meter semi-finals in the Doha World Championships. The growth of this young player named Chen Guanfeng in [-] made him very envious. , Tang Xingqiang found a hope.

"No. 4, member of the 2016 national team relay team, from Fujian—Tang Xingqiang!"

Tang Xingqiang came back to his senses at the host's passionate introduction. He was still wearing the uniform of the Fujian Athletic Team with the name of his hometown printed on it. The hair on the front of the forehead reveals the headband, with two striking Chinese characters printed on it - Jingfeng.

"The third track, third runner-up in the Doha World Championships, member of the national relay team, Zhejiang -- Xie Zhenye!"

"The second way, from Guangdong——Luo Wenyi."

"The first way, from Liaoning - Li Canghao."

At the end of the contestant introduction, the starter gave the command of "take your positions", and Tang Xingqiang stepped onto the starting block.

His starting block setting is quite different from other athletes. The position is very close to the outer track, but the starting block is offset in a large direction, which allows him to run closer to the inner track faster after starting and stretching.

His arm placement is also very different from other athletes. Xie Zhenye in the third track has a very unique curved arm start. At present, there are only three people in China who use this technique.Tang Xingqiang used the traditional straight-arm start, but with the lowest height and wingspan, he spread his arms very wide, and his palms almost touched the runway lines on both sides.

"preparation--"

"boom--!"

When the starting gun rang, Tang Xingqiang ejected from the starting block with an extremely quick reaction, but his legs had already kicked off during the acceleration stage, visually, he quickly drew closer to the fifth track Guo Zhongze.

Continuous acceleration, 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters, Guo Zhongze, the national 400-meter king, was surpassed by Tang Xingqiang, and Xie Zhenye has not been able to get closer to Tang Xingqiang until now.

After 60 meters, when Xie Zhenye entered the state of extreme speed, and with the change of the number of curves, he quickly "caught up" Tang Xingqiang, and the two crossed the 100-meter line at the same time.

Turning into the straight, Xie Zhenye's more excellent speed ability quickly threw off Tang Xingqiang, and directly opened up a gap in the distance between 110 meters and 140 meters.

Is the end set?

Whether it was the athletes, coaches, media watching the game in the stadium, or the TV audience watching the live broadcast, most of them believed in their hearts that Xie Zhenye would surely win.

This is the third runner-up in the world championships. The second runner in Asia who has run under 20 seconds several times. He has performed behind-the-back surpasses many times in the international arena. In the 200-meter back-distance that he is best at, who can keep up with these domestic players? Where are his steps?
Yang Jian also thought so. Before the game, he had already prepared a draft of Xie Zhenye's championship in his heart. After the gunshot, his commentary popped out of his mouth very smoothly:
"The game has started! Xie Zhenye should have started relatively conservatively, and Tang Xingqiang is currently in the leading position."

"In the second half of the curve, Xie Zhenye has an absolute advantage, the curve enters the straight - Xie Zhenye is already in the leading position!"

"Tang Xingqiang was quickly pulled away by Xie Zhenye, and it was difficult for anyone to keep up with Xie Zhenye's footsteps after 200 meters."

"The last 30 meters - Tang Xingqiang surpassed Xie Zhenye! Sprint with all your strength, hold tight, and press the line!"

"20 seconds 48! Tang Xingqiang won the men's 200m championship, and he defeated Xie Zhenye! It's incredible, this is really. I haven't seen Tang Xingqiang appear in the competition for a long time. In 17, he participated in the Bahamas World Relay Competition I seldom heard about him after that, and I didn’t expect that after three years of silence, he finally returned to our field of vision, and announced his return in such a way.”

"Welcome back, Tang Xingqiang!"
