Chapter 985: Lyles wins the Doha race!

This year, due to the intensified conflict between the IAAF and the World Athletics Federation, many events were forced to be postponed, including not only the highly anticipated Diamond League, but also the World Athletics Championships.

This situation is mainly due to the growing ambition of the IAAF, which intends to monopolize the traffic of the entire event and even wants to replace the World Athletics Championships held by the World Athletics Federation with the champion of the Diamond League Finals.

At the same time, the World Athletics Federation is not showing any weakness. They are determined to completely abolish the IAAF and bring all future events under their control.

Both sides even want to prevent athletes who have participated in their own competitions from participating in the other side's competitions, forcing the athletes to choose between the two.

In this way, the two sides were deadlocked and arguing endlessly, and the athletes who were looking forward to the game became innocent victims of this dispute.

Fortunately, however, both parties finally realized that if the event continued to be delayed, no one would get a penny this year. So, driven by interests, they finally put aside their prejudices and compromised with each other.

With the deadlock broken, the Diamond League finally opened smoothly! This top event, which brought together all the state medalists and Olympic medalists, was like a shining pearl, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

This is a peak showdown event, and its intensity is different from the Olympics. The Diamond League competition cycle is very short, which means that athletes have almost no time to recover their strength and adjust their status. Because of this, this competition is full of uncertainty, and any player may suddenly win a medal.

Especially when Lyles issued a challenge to Zhao Yun two days ago, the Doha race instantly became the focus of domestic attention. This topic quickly fermented on social software and attracted the attention of countless people. It can be said that Lyles successfully raised the popularity of this game to a new height through this move.

However, for Lyles, this is just the beginning. Whether he can really catch the traffic caused by the challenge to Zhao Yun depends on his own strength. If his strength cannot match the attention he has attracted, then the traffic will not only fail to whiten him, but may swallow him up. After all, in the fiercely competitive sports world, strength is the ultimate criterion.

Several strong athletes, including Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian, Mo Youxue and Wu Zhiqiang, arrived in Doha in advance to make final preparations for the upcoming 100-meter race.

In the semi-finals of the 100m race, four flower growers showed their outstanding strength and all advanced successfully. At the same time, Ronnie Baker, Bromell, Cole and South African Sibney also advanced to the finals.

Surprisingly, no Jamaican player made it to the finals this time, which is a very rare situation in previous competitions.

As a result, the athletes from China and the United States once again formed a fierce confrontation in the final, which undoubtedly made this 100-meter final full of highlights and suspense.

As the whistle sounded, Su Bingtian started running with amazing explosive power like a cannonball. His starting speed was so fast that it seemed to surpass the time limit in an instant, which was jaw-dropping.

At the same time, Xie Zhenye did not show any weakness, he bit Su Bingtian tightly, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between him and him. The distance between the two was always kept very close, as if a thrilling chase was going on.

However, Bromell and Korle did not give up, and they used their terrifying acceleration ability in the latter part of the race to desperately catch up with the two in front of them. Their speed was getting faster and faster, and the gap between them and Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye was gradually narrowing.

However, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye were not affected by their opponents' pursuit. They still maintained a stable rhythm and sprinted with all their strength. In the end, Su Bingtian crossed the finish line first with an amazing score of 9 seconds, successfully winning this highly anticipated 86m final.

Xie Zhenye also followed closely with an excellent score of 9 seconds and won the runner-up. Bromell won the third place with a slight disadvantage of 90 seconds.

This undoubtedly made a good start for the Flower Growers' competition this year and is also the first championship of the Flower Growers' Diamond League.

In the following 200m semi-finals, Mo Youxue and Wu Zhiqiang performed poorly and unfortunately failed to advance.

However, it is encouraging that Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye from China, as well as Lyles, Dix, Norman from the US team, De Grasse from Canada, Mena from Cuba and Hughes from the UK successfully advanced to the finals.

This match attracted great attention from the audience of the Flower Garden for two main reasons. First, of course, it was because Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye, two outstanding players from the Flower Garden, would show their talents in the final; second, everyone was curious about Lyles, who was known for his "big mouth", and wanted to see how he would perform in the final.

When the gun sounded for the final, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye took the lead as usual, showing strong explosive power and speed. However, surprisingly, Lyles' starting speed was also quite fast, and the gap between him and Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye was not big.

After entering the curve, Xie Zhenye showed his advantage in cornering technique. Compared with Su Bingtian, he performed better in this aspect and successfully surpassed his opponent to become the first place.

However, when Xie Zhenye rushed out of the bend and entered the straight, Lyles' amazing explosive power burst out instantly like a beast being released. He stuck closely to Xie Zhenye, not losing a step, as if he had merged with him.

Facing such a strong pursuit from Lyles, Xie Zhenye was not to be outdone. He ran as fast as he could. Unfortunately, although Xie Zhenye had tried his best, Lyles's explosive power was too amazing. When there were only two meters left to the finish line, Lyles suddenly accelerated like lightning and finally successfully surpassed Xie Zhenye.

In the end, Lyles won the 19m championship with an amazing time of 80 seconds, while Xie Zhenye won the runner-up with a time of 19 seconds. It is worth mentioning that De Grasse, the "teleportation kid", once again showed his strength in the competition. When no one noticed, he suddenly exerted his strength in the 84m acceleration phase of the latter part of the competition, successfully surpassed Su Bingtian, and finally won the third place with a time of 19 seconds.
