Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 338 Xie's Sway
"Hey, this second course is too difficult! And that Martinez, who doesn't talk about martial arts, actually engages in sneak attacks!"

On the car back to the hotel to rest, Xie Zhenye cursed all the way, feeling very wronged.

It is not difficult for him to advance to the preliminaries, but if he advances to the third place in the group, it is possible for him to be placed in the inner lane in the semi-finals. Xie Zhenye kept praying for himself in his heart, praying that he could be ranked in the semi-finals. 8th or 9th.

训练中有过多次测试，在状态相近的情况下，谢震叶的2、3道成绩比起8、9道成绩往往会相差0.1秒以上，夸张的时候甚至会超过0.15秒。

In the 200-meter race, the order of ranking is sometimes even tangled up to a thousandth of a second. Although the 0.1-meter race is not that exaggerated, the gap of 0.15 to [-] seconds is absolutely insurmountable in the world's top competitions.

At 8:3 on the evening of August 19, the three of them returned to the outdoor warm-up track and field next to the Dongjing National Stadium after a rest, and got the group list information for the semi-finals.

"Damn it! Route 8! Hahahahahahaha."

Xie Zhenye burst out laughing after seeing his pass information, causing many athletes and staff in the track and field to be attracted by the magic laughter. Wu Ziyi and Tang Xingqiang covered their faces with their hands and kept away from this Fool.

Randy Huntington is very happy. The overall level of the men's 200-meter event in this Olympic Games is obviously higher than that of the 19 Doha World Championships. into the finals.

Xie Zhenye's cornering ability is not strong. If he is assigned to the inner lane, his performance will be greatly reduced. Now that he is assigned to the 8th lane, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Zhenye was happy, but Tang Xingqiang was depressed. Looking at the list in his hand, he couldn't force himself to smile.

"Lyles, Farnborough, Brown." Tang Xingqiang read out the names of the opponents in this group softly. His personal best time was 20 seconds, which was the second last in this group.

In this group, there is only one person worse than him in PB, Robin van der Benden of Belgium, 20 seconds 43, and this year he only ran into 21 seconds in the morning preliminaries.

Besides, Tang Xingqiang was no match for any of them.

Wu Ziyi felt Tang Xingqiang's helplessness, but he couldn't change anything. Tang Xingqiang only found himself in the winter of 2019. If it was Yuan Shikong, Yuan Guoqiang also sent him an invitation at that time.

In the year and a half from the spring of 2017 to the winter of 2019, Tang Xingqiang's talent was wasted by the Fujian team, leaving an athlete with the ability to grow into a top-notch athlete in Asia in 2018 almost without a place to stay.

20 seconds 33, this is already the greatest help Wu Ziyi can do for Tang Xingqiang. If he wants to go further, Tang Xingqiang can only rely on himself.

"Friends from the audience, the men's 200m semi-finals of the Beijing Winter Olympics are about to begin. In this group, there is Xie Zhenye from my country. We can see that Xie Zhenye is now doing a test run. His pass is the 8th. This is a great opportunity for Xie Zhenye A very good pass."

After nearly 4 minutes of preparation, the eight contestants in the first group of the men's 200m semi-final have returned to their positions, waiting for the introduction of the on-site host.

"Let's take a look at Xie Zhenye's opponents, track 9, Joseph Paul Amoa from Ghana, with a preliminaries score of 20 seconds."

"The 8th track is Xie Zhenye. Xie Zhenye ran 20 seconds in the preliminaries, which is also his best result from 21 to now."

"On the seventh track, Odudulu from Nigeria is also a very strong player. He ran 7 seconds at the North Florida Invitational in April this year, creating the best result of this year. "

"Track 6, Rasheed Dwyer from Jamaica, the champion of this year's Jamaican Olympic Trials, with a preliminaries score of 20 seconds."

"Track 5, this is Qatar's famous player Femi Ogunode, who ran 20 seconds in this year's Diamond League Doha station."

"On the 4th track, a very young teenager from the bad country, Eliyan Knighton, born in 04, is only 17 years old this year. He ran 19 seconds in the final of the National Trials, creating a new U84 world record , a rookie with great potential."

"The third track is about Bowana from South Africa. In 3-15, he was often seen on the stage of the Diamond League and the World Series. Now his state has declined sharply. It is difficult to come up with a 17-second level."

"Track 2, this is Daluso from Italy, he is a member of the Italian men's 4x100m relay team.

"Xie Zhenye's competitive state in the past two years is not so good. We hope that he can show the state of 18 and 19. He must run for at least 20 seconds before he can advance stably."

Standing on the 8th track, Xie Zhenye felt that everything had come back, this was the track he was familiar with and needed!

Competing 200 meters in China is really a bit aggrieved, just like the National Athletics Championships in Shaoxing Shangyu in 20, he was clearly No.1 in the preliminaries, but was placed in the third track. Will be assigned to the 3rd lane in the final?

Now, Xie Zhenye's heart is finally at ease, and he has come to the track he is familiar with. The next thing to do is to fight for the finals!
“On your marks~”

After the player introduction session was over, the starter gave the order to take their positions, and the eight players on the field stepped forward to take their positions one after another.

The Dongjing National Stadium was unusually quiet. Occasionally, a female athlete's cry could be heard from the middle of the track and field, which came from the hammer court.

Xie Zhenye breathed out lightly, squatted down on the starting line, stepped on his starting block, and then got ready to listen quietly to the gunshots that were about to sound.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

"Game start!"

The moment the gunshot rang out, Yang Jian slightly raised the volume, focused on every detail in the arena, hoping to present the best commentary for the audience.

"Xie Zhenye's start is still very smooth. It can be seen that he is constantly closing the distance with the outsiders. Odudulu in the seventh track is also chasing very fiercely..."

After Xie Zhenye ejected from the starting block, he also felt that his start was very good. Although he was a little weak in the first 80 meters of the curve under the same level of competition, he was able to keep approaching the position of the outsider At least it shows that he is playing normally.

But then he felt a pressure coming from the left side behind him, it was
50 meters, 60 meters.
Just halfway through the curve, Xie Zhenye had just tied with Amoya in the 9th lane, when he saw a bright green in the corner of his vision.

Oduduru, the Nigerian who ran 2019 seconds in the 9 NCAA Outdoor Championships, broke the African record in one fell swoop!
On the same day of 9 seconds, he also ran a personal best of 86 seconds in the 19 meters. This is definitely the number one star in the history of African sprinting, and he has a strong future.

The 200-meter running method is generally roughly divided into "front-end type" and "back-end type". Odudulu is obviously the former. Although Xie Zhenye's cornering ability is not top-notch among athletes of the same level, he is able to The one who equals or even surpasses him in the first 80 meters must either be much stronger than Xie Zhenye, or he is a promising player.

Curve acceleration is never a simple matter, that is, it needs to have a strong balance and center of gravity control ability, and it is necessary to control the body as close as possible to the inner line to obtain a shorter travel path, like Usain · Bolt's actual cornering skills are not superb, but he can break 10 corners. It can only be said that he is an alien.

At 70 meters, Odudulu tied with Xie Zhenye, and Xie Zhenye also tied with Amoya.

80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters
The 100-meter line is a very obvious sign. In this area, the difference in the reach of the curve has almost been smoothed out. This mark line is also the best reference for measuring the performance of the athletes in the corner.

Odudulu was the first player to step on the 100-meter line. At this time, Xie Zhenye, Dwyer, and Ogunode were all separated by half.

The curve performances of Amoya and Knighton belong to the third echelon, and they are one position behind Xie Zhenye and others in the second echelon.

The most lagging behind are Yobovana in the third track and Daluso in the second track. The inner track is really a nightmare for 3-meter athletes. They will consume more energy than the outer track players in this section. At this time, they still need two steps to reach the 2-meter line.

100 meters, 110 meters
Turn into a straight!
Xie Zhenye started to speed up after stepping on the 100-meter line, 100 meters to 120 meters, this is the extreme speed range of most 200-meter athletes.

Xie Zhenye's speed ability is not strong, not as good as Su Bingtian, who is 10 cm taller, and even Cheng Guanfeng and Wu Zhiqiang's speed ability is not much weaker than him, so he did not recover the position behind the curve in this section, Aodu Dulu was still half a body ahead of him.

At this time, Eliyan Knighton in the fourth lane surpassed Ogunod in an instant, and approached Oduduru infinitely.

The top speed of 200-meter athletes will appear between 120 meters and 150 meters without exception, and then the speed will gradually decrease, especially after 160 meters, the speed drop will be very obvious. It's time.

At 150 meters, Knighton has already tied with Oduduru. With his back-end speed endurance ability, the first place in the group should be very stable.

Xie Zhenye still failed to catch up with Oduduru. At this time, he was still on the same level as Dwyer and Ogunode, but the three of them were obviously closer to Oduduru than when they first entered the straight. up.

In the last 50 meters, Xie Shi swayed and started!
"From the corner to the straight, Odudulu ran in the first place, and Xie Zhenye should be in the second echelon now."

"The young player of the bad country, Knighton, started to exert strength, and Xie Zhenye was also constantly catching up with Oduduru. For the last 50 meters, Xie Zhenye, swing up! Swing up!"

At 170 meters, Xie Zhenye has been swayed to the point of distorted face. After the Doha World Championships, he has no chance to play against other countries' masters. Although he and Wu Ziyi are training partners, he rarely finds the feeling of fierce competition from Wu Ziyi, because he It's really fast.

When he came to the Winter Beijing Olympics, he finally regained his familiar competitive state. Although it was very laborious, he just enjoyed this last moment of surpassing!

With the footsteps of "噗噗噗——", Xie Zhenye tied Oduduru little by little, and surpassed little by little, and ran to the second position. He is now on the same level as Knighton superior.

Knighton glanced to the left at this time, he did not expect that Xie Zhenye's figure suddenly appeared in his vision, and he didn't know whether to continue to maintain the speed or prepare to release the water.

Xie Zhenye in the 8th lane felt that he seemed to be in a good place during the running process, completely forgot to observe the positions of other opponents, and continued to run forward with all his strength, surpassing the dazed Knighton in the blink of an eye.

“谢震叶回来了！熟悉的后程超越！第一个冲线，19秒97！19秒97！谢震叶在冬京奥运会男子200米半决赛的第一组，又一次跑进了20秒大关，小组第一出线！”
