Chapter 410 Xiamen 400m Preliminary

After a few days of training, Zhao Yun had a good idea of ​​the hardness of the track. It was not much different from what he felt at Yenching University, and was still very moderate.

This also made Wang Zijie and his team less worried. After all, if the track is too soft, it is easy to sprain the ankle, while if it is too hard, it can cause great damage to the athletes' ankles and Achilles tendons.

On June 6th, the weather was fine.

Xiamen Gymnasium, wind speed +0.8 m/s.

The much anticipated IAAF Diamond League Xiamen Station ushered in the 400m preliminaries.

The Xiamen station and the upcoming Swiss competition will be contested by many well-known players.

Because the World Championships are just one month away, the athletes need to find their form through competitions, and then rest and maintain their form to prepare for the World Championships, a competition second only to the Olympics in terms of gold content.

The American team chose the Xiamen station competition, and the Jamaican team chose the Switzerland competition.

Zhao Yun’s two good foreign friends, Bromell and Michael Norman, also came to participate in the competition.

After training with Gatlin, LaShawn Merritt and Gay for some time, it is obvious that the muscle lines of these two people have become more streamlined.

Not only have they made significant progress, but the US team's superstar Noah Lyles has also made huge progress.

They also discovered a 14-year-old talented teenager named Knighton from the American team.

During this period, Gatlin, LaShawn Merritt and Guy taught them everything they knew in order to leave a spark for the next generation of young people.

Zhao Yun greeted Michael Norman before the game and invited him to spend two days together in Xiamen after the game, but Michael Norman refused.

He told Zhao Yun that the responsibility he now had was too heavy. He now had to serve as the link for the U.S. track and field team. He had to train with all his strength so that he could stand out in the next competition, bring honor to the U.S. team, and stabilize the U.S. team's position in the track and field field.

Zhao Yun expressed his understanding of this. After all, with the rise of Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye, the China Athletics Team has brought great pressure to its opponents in the World Athletics Federation.

After receiving the number plates and drawing lots, Zhao Yun competed as a member of the third group.

After entering the venue, it was already packed with people and the atmosphere was overwhelming!

You have to know that this was just a qualifying match that Zhao Yun participated in.

Fans held unified cheering sticks, held banners, and shouted Zhao Yun's name.

The first group of athletes in the 400m preliminaries have already started to warm up at the competition venue.

The seeded player in this group is Zhao Yun’s good friend Michael Norman.

After all the athletes were ready, the referee fired the first shot of the 400-meter race.

As soon as the game started, Michael Norman showed the results of his recent training.

At the start, Michael Norman took the lead with his exaggerated starting reaction.

At the first corner, Michael Norman's tall stature was not an advantage. However, after watching a lot of Zhao Yun and Bolt's races, he mastered the cornering skills. As a result, he did not feel any disadvantage at the cornering stage.

Coming to the first straight stage, Michael Norman still maintained the lead.

Entering the bend again, the watershed stage of the final result, Michael Norman withstood the pressure and entered the last straight stage in second place.

At this time, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, and Michael Norman's long legs showed his advantage. He had the same frequency but a longer stride than you, which allowed him to quickly overtake and become the first place again.

In the final sprint stage, Michael Norman did not give any chance to others and successfully won the first place in the first group with a score of 43 seconds.

Final results announced

First place, Michael Norman, 43 seconds

Second place, Smith, 44 seconds

Michael Norman was also very happy after the run. He left the venue with his hands on his hips and took a rest backstage for maintenance.

As the first group of players left the field, the second group of players began to enter the venue to warm up.

American Mike Rogers and Rashawn Merritt were in action together.

After the two American teammates came on the court, they hugged each other in a very friendly manner to encourage each other, aiming to advance to the semi-finals at the same time.

After the start of the race, the two veterans of the American team in the fifth and sixth lanes responded immediately and quickly gained the advantage.

During the entire stage, the two did not give any chance to other players, whether it was the starting stage, the cornering stage, or even the final sprint stage, both of them maintained the lead.

It also showed the two's determination to win the game.

LaShawn Merritt was like an old man with a youthful spirit. He gave it his all and won the first place by beating his teammate Michael Rogers in the final sprint.

In the end, LaShawn Merritt won first place in the second group with a time of 44 seconds.

Michael Rogers finished second in the group stage with a slight disadvantage of 44 seconds.
