Chapter 443 Advancing to the 100-meter final (third shift)

National Stadium, the upcoming semi-finals of the men's 100-meter event.

A total of 16 athletes participated in the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter sprint, so they were divided into two groups, and the top four in each group entered the final.

After the semi-finals of the 100-meter sprint, Zhang Guan will also participate in the qualifying competition for the long jump event. In order to avoid competition time conflicts, the organizers arranged Zhang Guan in Group A, so Zhang Guan's competition will start at 20 o'clock in the evening.

In addition to Zhang Guan, players in Group A of the semi-finals include Edgar from the United Kingdom, Atkins from the Bahamas, Kim Collins from St. Kitts and Nevis, Burns from Trinidad and Tobago, American Dix, Jamaica's Flatt and Powell.

On the field, Zhang Guan was on the fifth lane, while Powell was on the fourth lane, and the two lined up side by side.

"I'm going to fight you again!" Powell said with a smile: "How fast are you going to run today?"

"I must qualify first in the group! After all, this is my home stadium, so I can't let the home audience down." Zhang Guan said without hesitation.

"It's true, if the competition is held in Jamaica, I will also compete for the first place." Powell said and glanced at the rest area of ​​the athletes, and then said: "Usain (Bolt) can't wait to compete with you What! You nagged me all night yesterday, and I didn't sleep well."

"He can't wait to beat me!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Powell showed a look of being seen through by Zhang Guan, and then continued: "You played a basketball game this afternoon, and after the 100-meter semi-finals are over, you have to participate in the long jump qualifying competition. The task of the competition is very heavy! I really don't understand how you have so much energy."

"In fact, the energy consumption is not bad. I only played for one minute in the basketball game in the afternoon, and I only played two rounds. My energy has already recovered. As for the long jump qualifying competition, it doesn't consume much energy. There are only Three trial jumps, maybe a good result in one jump, and no need to jump in the next two. On the contrary, yesterday, the tennis semi-finals plus the 1500-meter preliminaries really made me overwhelmed." Zhang Guan said.

During the conversation between the two, athletes were also introduced on the broadcast screen, and then the referee signaled that the game could start.

...

"Dear audience, the men's 100-meter semi-final of the Olympic Games is about to begin. Our country's player Zhang Guan is about to appear in the first group. In this group, apart from Zhang Guan, there is Jamaican flying man Powell. Another contest between Zhang Guan and Powell , will be the biggest highlight of this game.”

"In the previous rematch, Zhang Guan ran a good time of 9.90 seconds, which is also the first in the rematch. According to the normal level of the Olympic semi-finals, as long as he can run within 10 seconds, he is very hopeful that he can enter the final Therefore, Zhang Guan only needs to perform at the level of the rematch to advance to the final."

"Okay, the athletes are ready and the game is about to start."

The narrator fell silent, and the starter could be heard shouting "On-your-marks... set..." in the live broadcast.

Gunshots rang out, and at the same time, the referee's whistle blew, which meant someone had made a run for it.

It was Zhang Guan's old acquaintance Kim Collins who took the lead. Kim Collins is 32 years old this year. For a sprinter, he can be called an old player. Fortunately, his competitive state has remained good in recent years. He often Ranked in international competitions.

Kim Collins obviously hopes to go further in the Olympics, but if he fights hard, it is difficult for Kim Collins to qualify, so he simply puts a shot at the starting stage and chooses to press the gun and run. It's just that Kim Collins was not lucky today, and failed to press the gun.

The athletes returned to the starting line again, ready to start.

The gunfire sounded again. The American player Dix started very well, and his reaction time at the start was the fastest among all athletes. Jamaica's Flatt's reaction time at the start was second only to Dix.

Zhang Guan and Powell can be said to be quite satisfactory in terms of starting. The strength of the two is superior. It is obviously the best choice to play steadily. After all, this is only the semi-finals. There is no need to fight too fiercely, as long as they can guarantee to qualify.

In the first 30 meters, the gap between the athletes did not widen too much. By the Olympic semi-finals, the gap between the athletes' level was already very small, and the competition among ordinary athletes became more and more fierce.

After 30 meters, Zhang Guan gradually found his own rhythm, and at the same time, Powell also found his sense of rhythm. The two ran faster and faster, catching up with other players.

In the 50 meters, the British player Edgar and the Bahamian player Atkins were obviously behind the other players. These two played very well in the previous rematch, but in terms of strength, the two are indeed relatively late in this group, and it is natural to fall behind.

At this time, the first player on the field was Dix from the United States.

Dix is ​​the holder of the youth record in the United States, and he is considered a well-known track and field athlete in the United States. However, as a college student, he cannot participate in professional competitions, so he has never appeared in international competitions, and his reputation in China is even greater. almost zero. Today, facing Zhang Guan and Powell, the two flying men, he actually ran in the first position, which really surprised many people.

"As expected of the US team, anyone who is sent out can run so well. If this continues, he will definitely be able to run within 10 seconds." Director Yu, who was watching the game from the sidelines, thought silently.

At 60 meters, Zhang Guan and Powell caught up with Dix almost simultaneously. At the 70-meter mark, the two surpassed Dix at the same time.

The trend of this game was also the same as expected before the game. In the end, it was a contest between Zhang Guan and Powell.

Although Powell said that he was not as good as Zhang Guan, but in the game, he was not weak at all. He was sprinting forward very hard, obviously trying to beat Zhang Guan once.

"Zhang Guan! Powell! Powell! Zhang Guan!" The commentator kept calling the names of the two, and the two looked inseparable, but in fact, Zhang Guan still had reservations.

"It seems that Powell is about the same as two years ago, and he hasn't improved any more." Zhang Guan didn't continue to entangle with Powell, he increased his speed by one point, and then smoothly rushed to the first position.

"Leading, Zhang Guan took the lead, crossed the line! First in the group! Zhang Guan crossed the line first in the group and advanced to the final! 9.85 seconds, Zhang Guan ran within 9.90 seconds!"
