With Zhao Yun's time of 43.92 seconds released, he temporarily ranked first in the qualifying round.
Immediately afterwards, after half an hour of adjustment, the third group of qualifying group matches began with the referee's gunshot.
In this group of races, the London Olympic gold medalist, Granada star James, showed strong dominance and understanding of the track. With perfect technical advantages, he maintained a leading advantage in the first 43.96 meters. In the last 44.28 meters, James accelerated again, leaving no chance for the players behind to overtake him, and finally rushed out of the finish line in seconds. He won the first place in the third group and is currently ranked third. The American star Watts followed closely behind and ran seconds, ranking second in the group.
Another new American 400m sprinter, Collier, finished third with a time of 44.42 seconds. This young man, who just turned , became famous in one battle and gave people unlimited possibilities.
As the results of the third group stage came out, the members of the fourth group also began to gear up and get ready.
Veteran American star Wariner is the fastest white 400m runner in the world, having run an astonishing time of 2007 seconds at the 43.45 World Championships in Osaka.
Seven years later, this was his last peak moment. He began his attack on the gold medal in this event. At the first bend, he used his technical advantage and sufficient physical strength to maintain an absolute lead. Entering the first straight, it seemed that Varina, who had a second spring, did not feel a trace of fatigue and still maintained his speed advantage. Then he came to the second bend, Varina's dessert area, he still maintained the lead. In the last 44.03 meters of the straight line, relying on the advantage of the previous meters, Varina finally laughed to the end and was the first to cross the finish line in seconds.
The second place went to Saudi Arabian athlete, Masrahi with a time of 44.42 seconds.
The third place went to veteran American 400m star Everett with a time of 44.58 seconds.
The competition in the fifth group was more intense. It was intense because there was no player with an absolute lead in this group, and the winner was not decided until the last ten meters.
At the start, Cherry started with a reaction time of 0.198 seconds, while Botswana was 0.002 seconds faster. Cherry ran very fiercely in the first 200 meters to establish a leading advantage. In the last 200 meters of the bend, Cherry accelerated again to narrow the gap with Botswana. After entering the last -meter straight, he overtook Botswana and maintained a steady sprint rhythm in the last meters, while Botswana was weak in the sprint in the latter part and was overtaken again by another young player Zambrano. In the final bayonet stage, Cherry stood at the end.
Botswana could only watch as Cherry and Zambrano crossed the finish line in first and second place.
American new sprinter Cherry won first place with 44.16 seconds, and another young athlete Zambrano won second place with 44.23 seconds. Botswana won third place with 44.47 seconds.
In the last group of competitions, American star James and American star Ross took the lead, followed closely by British player Hudson-Smith.
James established a leading advantage in the first 200 meters. Although the American star Rose was able to keep up with James in the first half, he fell behind at the second bend and was overtaken by Hudson-Smith. Finally, in the 100-meter straight stage, James showed that he was the absolute king of this event and won the first place with a large advantage, while Smith won the second place. The third place was won by Rose, who did not exert enough strength in the latter part.
The final results were: James first with 44.12 seconds, Smith second with 44.54 seconds, and Rose third with 44.72 seconds.
The results of the 43.92m preliminary rounds are now out. Zhao Yun ranked first in the group with seconds, followed by South African star Van Niekerk in second place and Granada star James in third place.
The other semi-finalists are:
USA Varina USA James USA La Sean Merritt
USA Dicks USA Michael Norman USA Cherry
USA Zambrano USA Botswana USA Colley
USA Everett USA Watts
Bahamas Gardner
Smith, UK
Masrahi, Saudi Arabia
Makawara, Botswana
Although Rose finished third in the group stage, he ranked 19th and missed the semifinals.
From the list of semi-finalists, we can see that the 400m is a traditional advantage of the US team. The US has a very strong dominance in this event. The men's 400m champions from the Atlanta Olympics to the Beijing Olympics were all from the US. They even won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the Athens and Beijing Olympics. Even Jamaica is not as strong as the US team in the 400m event.
Zhao Yun looked at the long list of athletes surrounded by American athletes and was deeply worried about the athletics industry. How difficult it would be to challenge the dominance of the United States!
But fortunately there were no American players in the top three, otherwise this competition would not even be called the Diamond League, it would almost have become the US Championship.
After the long list was released, Zhao Yun came out and hugged Michael Norman and gave him verbal encouragement.
"Hi man, you ran great! You must do your best in the semi-finals and try to run under 44 seconds."
"Although this is difficult, I will definitely work hard. I believe I can do it!" Norman said with a confident smile.
"Okay! Then we'll enter the finals together!" Zhao Yun nodded.
When Bromell saw his good friend enter the semi-finals, he jumped and danced excitedly, punching Norman's chest with his fists. Then he made a Chinese Kung Fu fist-bow gesture to Zhao Yun. "Oh my god, Zhao Yun, you are so awesome! You are indeed my idol. You are the first to qualify, the first! That's awesome!"
Zhao Yun looked at his exaggerated expression and found it very funny. He smiled, hugged the black man who was only 175cm tall, and touched his head. He was not even as tall as Niu Niu, who was 178cm tall.
Thinking of Niu Niu's long legs during training on the playground last summer, Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, which made the two people next to him look confused.
It was almost midnight after the game, and Zhao Yun was very sleepy. In China, Zhao Yun stayed up all night except when Liu Yifei was at home. Zhao Yun basically never slept late. After saying goodbye to the two, Zhao Yun went back to rest.
When Zhao Yun arrived at the hotel, he was so tired that he fell asleep immediately.
