Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 327
"Come on, come on! It's finally about to start, hey hey hey, who do you bet win?"

Cheng Guanfeng took out a few cans of Coke from the refrigerator, put them on the coffee table, squeezed in between Wu Ziyi and Xie Zhenye and shouted.

Wu Ziyi slapped him lightly on the head, and said angrily in a low voice, "Slow down! Wake up your sister Wen Ying and see if she doesn't beat you up!"

Cheng Guanfeng sat down resentfully, picked up the remote control and turned down the volume, and then watched the game seriously.

中国比摩纳哥早6个小时，现在已经是燕京时间7月10日凌晨3点25分了，镜头里的这八个选手，再过21天就会成为他的对手。

The Olympic training camp has entered the final stage. Thinking that he has not broken through 10 seconds, Cheng Guanfeng has no idea about this Olympic journey.

时间回到一个月前，在6月11重庆举行的全国田径冠军赛暨奥运会选拔赛上，陈冠峰以10秒02的成绩战胜了吴致强、严海兵等人排名第四，成功达到奥运会男子100米10秒05的标准。

虽然谢震叶也跑出了9秒99好成绩，但他还是像去年那样自愿放弃了100米项目专攻200，所以本届奥运会中国男子100米的出战阵容也正式确定：吴子义、苏炳天、程冠峰。

Xie Zhenye, who was squeezed away by Cheng Guanfeng, was also staring at the game on TV seriously, but his eyes did not follow the camera to look at Brommel, what he cared about was De Grasse in the second lane.

Compared with the Doha World Championships in 19, his opponents this year are obviously much stronger. In the 200-meter event last year, Lyles was the only one who carried the banner in the U.S. team. This year, he competed for a luxurious lineup through trials:
诺亚·莱尔斯，19秒74；肯尼斯·贝德纳雷克，19秒78；埃里扬·奈顿，19秒84。

Lyles is very familiar, and Xie Zhenye also has some impressions of Bednarek. If he has not been injured in 19 years, it is hard to say whether he and De Grasse can win the bronze medal.

Then there is that Knighton was born on January 2004, 1!
At the age of 17 and 149 days, the 200-meter PB reached 19 seconds, which has surpassed Bolt and Wu Ziyi in the same period. Xie Zhenye had a headache when he thought of this.

This Olympic Games. If you can enter the finals, you will be considered a success.

********
Ronnie Baker stood on lane 5, and from the moment he entered the field his attention was on his two teammates - Brommel and Corley.

For him in the 100-meter special, whether it is Brommel or Corley, he is very unfamiliar.

Even though, Brommel and Corley are teammates of the same 4×100-meter relay team in Moldy Country.

2017年的加利福尼亚州-托伦斯田径邀请赛，他以9秒99的成绩获得了决赛第一组的No.1，第一次跑进了10秒大关。

At that time, Brommel had already been reported to be retiring. The fall in the Rio Olympics relay caused him serious injuries. In 2017, Brommel almost faded out of the track and field circle, with only one game record .

At that time, Corley was still a "young man" focusing on 400 meters.

In 2018, he entered his peak period. In the indoor competition, he and Coleman and Su Bingtian scored three points in the world.In the outdoor [-] meters, he is the third in the world after Wu Ziyi and Coleman.

Brommel seemed to have really retired that year and hadn't played for a whole year.

That year, Corley did not run 200 meters in 20 seconds, and 400 meters in 44 seconds. He was world-class but not top-notch.

He returned this year, and what greeted him was re-entering the peak, oh no, Brommel, who was even more peak, and Corley, who lost only 0.01 seconds to himself in the trials.

He never imagined that in the two years since his injury, Corley has grown so rapidly, and Brommel will return in this way.

He has no grievances with Corley and Brommel in private. After the Olympic trials, he naturally formed a men's 4×100m relay team with them. teammate.

But now, they are standing on the same starting line, that is the opponent.

There are not many top competitions before the Olympics, and today's Diamond League Monaco station is the last chance. He wants to prove that he is no worse than Brommel!

Jacobs stood in front of the reserve line, breathing calmly.

Once again, he faced many world-renowned players. If it were him two years ago, he would definitely be so nervous that he would lose sleep about this game called "the preview of the Olympic finals".

But now, his mentality has completely changed.

The seven athletes who stood on the same line as him at the scene, except for his teammate Totu, he only played head-to-head with Ronnie Baker, and that time was the 2018 Diamond League Rome station.

At that time, he was not the 60-meter champion of the European Indoor Championships, nor the creator of the Italian men's [-]-meter record. Compared with Totu, who was loved by the Chinese, he was just a supporting role.

And now, he is no longer a supporting role, he can share the spotlight with these world-class athletes on the court, because he has also grown into a world-class athlete step by step!

He is very glad that he persevered and did not give up. Among them, he must thank his good brother Tanberry, who inspired him to regain his courage and faith.

I also want to thank the leaders and coaches of the Italian national team. They did not give up on themselves because of their poor performance in the men's [-]-meter semi-final in Doha. Instead, they did their best to provide him with the top training environment in Italy.

Those who work hard will never fail!
In 2020 and before, his indoor 60-meter best time was only 6 seconds, which is a good future, but all this has completely changed with the start of this year's indoor season.

2月5日，柏林ISTAF室内田径赛，预赛6秒56刷新PB，决赛6秒55再刷PB。

On February 2th, French Levin Indoor Competition, preliminaries and finals, two shots at 9 seconds, and then PB.

On February 2th, Lodz, Poland, 12 Oran Cup, the preliminaries were 2021 seconds, the final was 6 seconds, and the PB was refreshed four times in a week.

March 3, Torun, Poland, European Athletics Indoor Championships, 6 seconds 6, not only refreshed his PB for the fifth time, but also won WL in one fell swoop, although he was later surpassed by Su Bingtian.
The outbreak of the indoor competition is naturally followed by the rise of the outdoor season.

On May 5, he went to the Savona Track and Field Invitational, which he must participate in every year. Although the level of this competition is very low, it is his blessed land.

9 seconds 95, with the help of a wind speed of 1.5m/s, he became the second athlete in Italian history to break through the 10-second mark, and broke the Italian national record in one fell swoop!
On June 6, Robreto Olympic Trials, he once again defeated many domestic opponents with a strong strength of 26 seconds 10 (-01m/s), and went to the Olympics with Totu and other teammates.

Now, he is standing in the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, facing the Big Three of the United States and the famous South African players. As for Jimmy Vicourt, the former European king, he is old.

Athletes are eager to win, faster, higher and stronger. This is the pursuit of all Olympic athletes, and it is also his heart's wish.

He wants to use this game to tell the world that starting today, he——Lamont Marcel Jacobs—will be the new European [-]-meter king!
