Chapter 121: Zhao Yun's First International Championship in the First Year
After the semi-finals list was released, Zhang Peimeng and Xie Zhenye unfortunately did not enter the semi-finals. However, Xie Zhenye's performance still showed the possibility. When Zhao Yun's three coaches saw Zhao Yun enter the semi-finals, they clenched their fists, waved them in the air, and then clapped their hands to celebrate.
There are more and more spectators at the scene. People in this leisurely country always have plenty of time to kill.
During the one-hour adjustment period, all the players were doing relaxation training in the waiting area. Zhao Yun's physical trainer Zhao Dehan was also doing a series of muscle stretching for Zhao Yun, so that Zhao Yun's muscles would not be so tense, so as to prepare for the next game.
After an hour of adjustment, all the candidates participating in the first group of semi-finals stood at the starting line.
This time, Zhao Yun also stood on the fourth lane with the first group. The event organizer gave the new World Championship champion a lot of face.
After Zhao Yun adjusted the starting blocks, he constantly adjusted his physical condition at the starting point to maintain the best condition.
The event group began to announce the first group of contestants.
"The first lane, born in 1996, American athlete, Michael Norman."
Norman smiled naively at the camera.
"The second one, born in 1989, a flower grower, Su Bingtian."
Su Bingtian also waved and said hello.
"Track 1982, born in , Jamaican player, Steve Mullins."
The thin Mullins looked very serious, with his hands on his waist and his legs swinging, but the audience still gave him great enthusiasm and applause.
"The fourth one, born in 1996, is a player from the Flower Growers family. He was also the -meter champion of last year's World Championships. He is the Tiger King of the Flower Growers family, Zhao! Yun!" the host introduced passionately in a long tone.
Zhao Yun bared his fangs at the camera, with his hands in tiger claw position, showing his determination to win the game.
There was sparse applause from the audience!
"The fifth lane, born in 1985, a Jamaican athlete, nicknamed the starting machine, Nesta Carter!"
Carter tugged at the straps of his tank top with his thumbs, very arrogantly! He pointed to the sky with one hand, extremely arrogant.
Carter's actions instantly ignited the passion of the audience, with whistles and cheers coming one after another.
"Sixth lane, born in 1985, American athlete, Michael Rogers."
When the camera was focused on Rogers, he looked ahead with a blank expression.
"The seventh player is Oluso Kifasuba, born in 1984, from Nigeria!"
Fasuba waved to the audience to express her gratitude!
"The eighth lane, born in 1982, from the United States, nicknamed Justin Gatlin of Acceleration!"
When the host read Gatlin's name, the audience gave the veteran a big round of applause. It must be said that these veterans have a very high status in the hearts of the audience. If it weren't for Bolt's sudden appearance and breaking one record after another, track and field would have felt a bit lonely after these veterans retired. So now that the IAAF sees Zhao Yun taking off, combined with the market of flower growers, they want to promote Zhao Yun and Bolt as a duo, so that Zhao Yun can take over the track and field market after Bolt. Unfortunately, Bolt no longer takes such small competitions seriously and is reluctant to accept the challenge, which makes the IAAF very helpless.
"The ninth one, born in 1993, from South Africa, nicknamed Akanisibini with short legs!"
Sibini kissed the index and middle fingers of her right hand.
After the players on the field were introduced, the referee looked at the time.
preparation!
All the contestants bent down and got ready to start!
boom!
The moment the gun went off, Zhao Yun rushed out like a cheetah pouncing on its prey. At the start, Zhao Yun and Nesta Carter, who was running on the adjacent track, competed with each other. Carter, who was known as a starting machine, did not even fall behind Zhao Yun at the start, which made the audience in the stands even more excited. They shouted loudly, "Yaro! Yaro!"
At 9.96 meters, Zhao Yun exerted his strength again, leading Carter by one body length. In the last 9.99 meters, Zhao Yun accelerated with 10.01% of his strength, pulling two body lengths away from the veteran. In the last 10.03 meters, Zhao Yun did not try his best, and Carter did not exert his strength again after seeing Michael Rogers in lane next to him and having no room to overtake. In this way, Zhao Yun won the first place in the first group with a score of seconds, while Carter won the second place with a score of seconds. The third place winner was veteran Justin Gatlin from lane , who ran seconds. This veteran showed the world what it means to be an immortal veteran. Michael Rogers came in fourth with seconds.
Fifth place, 10.07 seconds, Steve Mullins.
Sixth place, 10.08 seconds, Su Bingtian. This result gave Su Bingtian motivation again.
Seventh place, 10.09, Oluso Kifasuba.
Eighth place, 10.13 seconds, Akani Sibini. Sibini's original track allocation was not very good, and his feet suddenly weakened in the middle of the race, disrupting his running rhythm, so he could only run this result.
Ninth place, 10.14, Michael Norman. This little brother of Zhao Yun's played just average in this game.
After the first group of semi-finals ended, Zhao Yun and his team began to leave the field, and then the semi-finalists of the second group began to enter the field to warm up and adjust.
Group 2, Lane 1, Fred Kerley.
The second contestant is Cui Wang Bromell.
The third player, Ronnie Baker.
The fourth contestant, Asafa Powell.
The fifth contestant is Tyson Gay.
Lane 6, Richard Thompson.
The seventh contestant is Douglas.
Lane 8 contestant, Lamont Marcel Jacobs.
The ninth contestant, Ferdinand Omanyala.
The second group of semi-finals began after a gunshot.
After the start, the veteran continued to tell other young people that as long as I don’t abdicate, you will ultimately be my subjects.
Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay, two veterans, attacked strongly and quickly pulled away from the other players. But just when everyone thought the ranking was set, De Grasse in the seventh lane seemed to have teleported and managed to catch up from seventh place at the start to third place. The final results were released.
Asafa Powell, 9.94 seconds.
Tyson Gay, 9.96 seconds.
De Grasse, 10.00 seconds.
Lamont Marcel Jacobs, 10.01 seconds.
Richard Thompson, 10.03 seconds.
Ronnie Baker, 10.04 seconds.
Ferdinand Omanyara emerged out of nowhere and ran 10.08 seconds, showing the unlimited potential of this young player.
Fred Colley, 10.09 seconds.
Cui Wang Bromell, another die-hard fan of Zhao Yun, performed poorly in this game and only ran 10.21 seconds. Zhao Yun was also very regretful after watching from the waiting area.
After the game, Zhao Yun rushed out to hug this little brother to comfort him. Looking at Bromell sitting on the ground with lifeless eyes, Zhao Yun felt very distressed.
"Brommel, don't lose heart. You still have a long way to go. Do you know how many times these seniors on the field have fallen and how many times they have trained to stand on the stage now? And you are so young, and you are standing on the same stage with them. You are already great."
Michael Norman also tried to persuade him, "Bromel, you have to fight like a man. Think about your parents and relatives. Do they want to see you so dispirited? This is a global live broadcast. Do you want your relatives and gang members to see your ugly behavior? Stand up!"
"Yes! Stand up! Salute the fans who like you and send blessings to the contestants who advanced. They deserve this honor because they have paid too much sweat and pain."
Bromell's eyes became firm after being persuaded by Zhao Yun and Norman. He thanked Zhao Yun and Norman, hugged them respectively, stood up and bowed to the audience, then shook hands with other contestants and sent his best wishes to them one by one.
