Run Out of My Life

On the track and field track, all the runners in the men's 100-meter preliminaries have finished.

As the on-site staff and referees compare the results of each group of players through the computer, the list of players entering the semi-finals at night will be given on the big screen of the stadium.

A column with names, nationalities, and results appeared on the screen. A total of forty athletes entered the semi-finals, and Chen Jian hung in the last one with a score of 10.34 seconds. position, and advance to the next round of competition.

At this time, although there was no direct TV broadcast, the Chinese audience and other media personnel at the scene saw two Chinese players with a five-star red flag chart out of the forty lists. The name couldn't help but applaud.

From not even running the Olympic men's 100m A mark, to the first time there are two Chinese people, this is a big leap in the whole track and field and sprint sports.

After the men's 100m preliminaries, the morning games at the Olympic Stadium are temporarily over, and there will be no track and field events in the entire stadium in the afternoon until 18:30 p.m. The women's heptathlon javelin, and In the women's pole vault qualifying competition, the whole field will be lively again.

Of course, according to the entire Olympic competition process, in the afternoon, there are only track and field events, and many other events such as archery, men's basketball, beach volleyball, equestrian and other events will always have competitions. Among them, at noon time at 12:30, there is also the men's team foil final group match.

The 70,000 spectators left the stage one after another. Su Zu and Chen Jian followed the coaches and the staff of the regiment to leave the athlete-only channel.

When I left, I also met reporters from CCTV and several domestic media, and seemed to want to do a simple interview, but it was noon, the weather was hot, and there was a game in the evening, some interviews etc. are not so appropriate. Mai Shaoqiang and Li Zhizhong were afraid of affecting the athletes' condition, so they refused directly.

Fortunately, they are all reporters stationed by the official station, and they can understand.

On the special bus arranged by the organizer, the group returned to the Olympic Village. They first ate in the main canteen of the Olympic Village, and then Li Zhizhong let Su Zu go back to rest.

Chen Jian was interviewed by his head coach Mai Shaoqiang alone for a while, and no one else would bother. Several coaches and staff were very excited along the way , but did not deliberately talk about the game.

Until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after a few hours of lunch break, Su Zu and Chen Jian first followed the coaches to the training ground near the Olympic Village for a simple warm-up, and then took a moderate amount of Eat something to refuel before heading back to the Olympic Stadium again.

"Coach, you have nothing to explain to me?"

Outside the inspection room at the Olympic Stadium, before the inspection, Su Zu looked at Li Zhizhong, who had not spoken much since the preliminaries, and asked with a smile.

Li Zhizhong smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to turn over the collar of Su Zu's sportswear, and patted his shoulder, "I have already said what I should say, everything has to be done on the field. It's up to you. Well, you don't have to worry about the results, just treat it like a normal training game, show your strength, and run well. At this point, you have made history."

"Okay, coach, I'm going to check in!"

Su Zu nodded and waved to Lao Li. I understand what Lao Li means. No matter how much I say at this time, it will only increase the psychological burden of the athletes. It is better not to say anything. It has entered the semi-final stage, and it is a new record for the Chinese men's 100-meter sprint. Gotta pass. It should be for the athletes to put down their burdens and play easily and go to the competition as much as they like.

On the other side, Mai Shaoqiang and Chen Jian seemed to have finished their face-to-face interviews, and Chen Jian's expression was obviously relaxed, no longer tense as in the morning, and had a fight with the accompanying coaches Saying hello, he followed behind Su Zu into the check-in area for the men's 100m event at the Olympic Stadium.

The check-in procedure for athletes is a rather troublesome matter. Basically, it is necessary to arrive at the check-in area ahead of time. Not to mention large-scale events like the Olympic Games, all aspects are strictly and meticulous.

Athletes who do not show up on time will be disqualified. Checking whether the athletes' clothing, numbers, spikes and other personal items meet the requirements, as well as pre-match urine tests and other related checks, the whole process is quite cumbersome.

"Second group fifth track."

Su Zu got his group and track arrangement for the rematch at 19:40 in the evening, while Chen Jian was placed in the fifth group and eighth track of the preliminaries. According to the top three in the group who took the 30th place first, among the best results of the remaining 10 players, they ranked at the bottom. Of course, this does not mean that Chen Jian's results in the semi-finals are the bottom, and the weakest preliminaries in the ninth group of the top three scores are not Chen Jiangao. It's just a group advantage.

In the rematch, the group advantage gradually disappears. The total number of players in the semi-finals is forty people, divided into five semi-final groups. But only 16 people were selected to advance to the next round of semifinals.

Each semi-final group will only take the top three to enter the semi-finals, and the last one of the semi-final group with the best results will be selected to enter the semi-finals.

If you are lucky enough to be assigned to a relatively weak group and run out of the top three, you still have a chance to enter the next round of semifinals.

However, this kind of luck is really a fluke. After a round of elimination in the preliminaries, the players who can enter the semi-finals at this time are even stronger, and there are almost no weak ones.

Compared to the preliminaries with 86 to 40, the semi-final is 40 to 16, and the competition for places is more intense. Many powerful players are starting to get serious in order to qualify for the semi-finals stably , will no longer be retained like the preliminaries.

Su Zu looked at the list of the second group of the semi-finals and frowned slightly. The players in his group are not weak, and he met an old acquaintance - Sean Crawford .

He was the first group in the preliminaries. In the fourth group of the preliminaries, he ran a time of 10.02 seconds, which was higher than Su Zu's 10.05 seconds.

In his rematch group, both the first and second in the preliminaries group are in, which is not a good thing for other athletes.

After all, although the Olympic athletes are of high level, not all athletes in a semi-final group can run within 10 seconds and 10.

Compared to Suzu's rematch group, there is only one strong player, Sean Crawford. In the fifth group of the rematch, Chen Jian's athletes are even stronger.

The most popular 2000 Sydney Olympic champion, the indoor track and field championship 60-meter record holder, the former 100-meter record holder Maurice Green (note). And then there's Jamaican sprint rookie Asafa Powell, who just broke the national record with a time of 9.91 in the Jamaican National Championships. They are all in the fifth group of Chen Jian's semi-finals.

In the men's 100m semi-final stage, the five semi-final groups are almost all famous, and the fastest runners on the planet gather together, no matter which group, they are the top Athletes, if you are not strong enough, no matter how you rank it is useless. If you want to stand out, you can only rely on your own strength.

After the list and sequence of each rematch group are arranged, the athletes in each group are different. Now the inspector guides lead different inspection rooms to prepare for the rest before the game.

"Su, we meet again."

Sean Crawford and Su Zu gave a courtesy hug and patted him on the shoulder. One of the characteristics of black athletes is enthusiasm. If there is contact, it will be pleasing to the eye, Almost always say hello.

"Hi Sean."

Su Zu was very impressed with Sean Crawford. This year's indoor match almost flew out of the baffle. It was Sean Crawford's last moment, and he pressed his leg in time. A possible injury was avoided.

The two simply said hello and did not continue the conversation. There are always staff and assistant referees in the inspection room, and the athletes are not familiar with each other. Before the competition, they should maintain their mentality and do not communicate too much.

At 19:30 local time in the evening, and 0:30 Beijing time, the second round of the men's 100m competition began.
