而男子4×100米的接力，则集中在最后两天，也就是9月1日、2日两天。

朱诺的比赛也在9月1日和2日，1日资格赛，2日决赛。

Liu Yu's competition will be on August 8th and 29th, a little earlier.

Therefore, the time for domestic audiences has been locked. On the 25th and 26th, they will appreciate the heroic appearance of Lu Shen who won the championship.

……

On the 24th, the mainland representative team organized a delegation to the Osaka Stadium to get used to the venue.

In order to welcome the World Championships, Osaka City slightly renovated the Osaka Nagai Land Arena from 2006 to 2007, but did not expand the number of seats. The stadium with a capacity of 50000 can fully meet the demand for the number of spectators.

Just to better conduct track and field competitions, the runway has been renovated. The brand owner responsible for the new runway is A·F. This runway uses the latest sports technology from A·F. The double-layer structure can be more conducive to the performance of the players— —These are all written in the introduction of the official website of Nagai Land Arena.

And it wasn't until Rousseau stood on this runway that he felt that the senior technician who customized the running shoes for him, the old Mr. Toby, was right, that this runway could indeed make him faster.

What kind of high technology is this... Rousseau studied the relationship between the shoes under his feet and the runway.

Liu Yu also noticed the shoes on Rousseau's feet.

Athletes care about their shoes like a swordsman cares about his sword.

Liu Yu saw that Rousseau’s shoes were not a common style on the market. He was also the spokesperson of A·F. Liu Yu did not enjoy the custom-made treatment of Class A. After Rousseau’s appearance, Liu Yu’s attention in A·F linear decrease.

"Are you wearing those gold running shoes?" Liu Yu asked Rousseau.

"No, new series." Rousseau said.

"Designed for you? Tsk tsk, is it light?" Liu Yu asked.

"105 grams," Rousseau said.

"It's not very light, it's about the same as what I wear." Liu Yu said.

"The main reason is that the material of the sole is different. A·F said that it can have some reactions with this runway and increase the speed..." Rousseau said.

"It sounds like a kind of metaphysics of science and technology." Liu Yu concluded.

When Rousseau and Liu Yu were chatting about shoes, Tian Shiwei, Pan Kai, and Zhang Zhen also surrounded them. Everyone began to study the shoes on Rousseau's feet, and felt envious when they learned that they were made by A·F.

Rousseau said to Liu Yu: "Toby said that A·F considered making you a custom-made A-type, but there is no suitable plan, and I think B-type is more suitable for you."

"Hehe." Liu Yu said with a fake smile, "I don't think you've comforted me."

"Yes, after all, the 100-meter hurdles are far more influential than the 110-meter hurdles." Rousseau said.

"The world record in the 110-meter hurdles is not as difficult as the 100-meter hurdles," Liu Yu said.

The two world champions and world record holders joked with each other, which has become their habitual way of greeting each other, but it still made the surrounding athletes feel tense, and even their smiles were restrained.

Only Tian Shiwei didn't feel it at all, he hugged Rousseau and pulled Liu Yu with a smile, saying, "Don't quarrel, the Chinese don't hit the Chinese", so that both Rousseau and Liu Yu punched him.

……

Early in the morning on July 8.

The Nagai Ground Arena in Osaka was packed.

Male marathon runners get up earlier, at 6 am, they start the final of this event.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, when [-] spectators entered the arena one after another, they were able to enjoy the heroic appearance of the champion who circled the prescribed path in Osaka city and returned to the stadium again.

The champion of this event was won by Kenyan player Luke Kibet. He ran an excellent result of 2 hours, 8 minutes and 52 seconds, which was 7 minutes faster than his previous best result. Off to a good start.

After the marathon, the 100-meter hurdles in the women's heptathlon, the men's shot put qualifying competition, the women's 3000-meter obstacle run qualifying competition, and the high jump competition in the women's heptathlon were held.

To use a slogan that often appears in various school sports meetings in mainland China to describe it, it is "Athletes have high aspirations, and women will not give way to men".

It's just that in the above-mentioned competitions, most of the winners were African-Americans. Seeing that the colors on the field were particularly uniform, it also made this grand event a little less interesting.

Therefore, when the men's 11 qualifiers, which was the finale of the match on the morning of the 10th, began at 25:100, the slightly dull Changju land arena immediately set off earth-shattering cheers following the broadcast of the competition Voice.

……

There are four groups in the qualifiers, and Rousseau is assigned to the first group of the qualifiers.

……

CCTV is also one of more than [-] national TV stations broadcasting the game around the world.

With the live broadcast, the camera is aimed at the 100-meter runners.

The host Huang Jue, who has been friends with Rousseau for a long time but has never met in person, started the talk with a topic.

"I checked Rousseau's records of all major tournaments since 2005, and found a very strange phenomenon, that is, Rousseau will be assigned to the first group in almost all qualifying matches."

The sports experts who partnered with Huang Jue already knew a lot about sprint events and Rousseau, but they didn't have the time to count the number of Rousseau qualifying groups. After hearing this statement, they thought about it and said:

"It's quite interesting, it may have been a coincidence at the beginning, and then probably all the competition organizing committees wanted to continue this coincidence.

不过到明年国际田联就会采取抽签制来决赛赛道了，前4名抽3、4、5、6道，后4名抽1、2、7、8道，会更公平一点。”

"It will indeed be fairer, but it is estimated that it will not have much impact on the result of the game. The world's flying people can still win." Huang Jue said, "Now many news media in the world are using this game as a topic, speculating that Rousseau and Usain who will win, what do you think?"

The guest said: "The result of the competition is determined by various factors. There are too many factors affecting the player's state and adaptability to the field. Therefore, I think it is wrong to say that the winner only appears between Rousseau and Usain. It's too early, and Guy of the US team is also very strong."

"But Gay has never won against either Rousseau or Usain. I think the champion still has to be decided between them." Huang Jue said.

The two people in the CCTV live broadcast room were chatting while watching the preparations for the 100-meter qualifiers, and soon they realized something strange.

That is, Rousseau and Usain are absent, and now there are only 10 minutes until the start of the game, and only Tyson Gay is in the player waiting area.

"Usain is in the second group, so it's okay to show up later, but Rousseau is in the first group, why hasn't he come yet?" Huang Jue asked.

"Maybe it's doing a urine test." The guest said.

……

"Why does the urine test require blood!"

Lu Jinrong was yelling at the WDA staff at the moment, because he saw the WDA examiner leaving the waiting room with two small tubes of blood.
