Run Out of My Life

The first group of the 200-meter semi-finals ended. When Sean Crawford's results appeared on the big screen at the Olympic Stadium, almost everyone who knew about the men's 200-meter event was surprised.

19 seconds 95!

The 200-meter gold medal of the last Sydney Olympic Games, the Greek athlete Kentris, only ran 20.03 seconds in the final.

And Sean Crawford, now in the rematch, ran an amazing result of 19.95 seconds.

Compared to the 100-meter runner who can run into the 10-second mark, there are only five or six players with this strength in this Olympics.

score. He and Sean Crawford are both in the first group of the rematch, with a time of 20.20 seconds in second place.

And other athletes, looking at all the best results in history, almost none of them can enter 20 seconds in the 200 meters.

Sean Crawford advanced to the next round of semifinals with a time of 19.95 seconds in the first group of the semi-finals, proclaiming his absolute strength in the 200-meter event. The pressure on athletes is almost unimaginable.

Accompanying the results of the first group of semi-finalists, on the track and field arena, eight athletes from the second group of semi-finalists appeared in the starting area.

As the athletes appeared on the field, the information of the athletes in the second group of the rematch was also listed on the big screen on the big screen.

The first course, Yang Guangzong, China;

Second course, Macotori, Italy;

Third Road, Anastasios Gauss, Greece;

Fourth Lane, Bernard Williams, USA;

Fifth Road, Malik, Algeria;

Sixth Road, Masinghigran, Poland;

Seventh Road, Dilhemki, Germany;

The Eighth Road, Brian Zingai, Zimbabwe.

When the information of the second group of athletes in the rematch appeared on the big screen, Yu Liwei, Li Zhizhong, several coaches of the Chinese sprint coaching team on the sidelines, were analyzing the 200-meter rematch players.

"Yang Guangzong's group is the most advantageous."

Yuan Guohua kept flipping through the list of four groups of semi-finalists, sighed and said.

"But it is still very difficult to enter the semi-finals. There are no weak players in the Olympic field."

Yu Liwei frowned, worried, in the Olympic sprint event, it is extremely rare for a Chinese athlete to break into the semi-finals, but with Su Zu's bronze medal in the 100-meter event, Zhuyu is in the Before, there was a little more expectation for the performance of other sprinters.

The most powerful player in Yang Guangzong's group is the famous American Bernard Williams, the second in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games in the American men's 4×100m relay team, and the best in the 200m. The time was 20.01 in Brussels in 2001.

Another Polish player, Masinghigran, was the first in the group in the morning preliminaries. Although he was a white man, he was already very strong in the 200-meter event. 2001 and 2003 European Youth Championship champion and runner-up.

At this time, with the introduction of the athletes by the live host, the audience at the Olympic Stadium suddenly burst into an earth-shattering cheer, almost deafening, and the voices of several coaches in the coaching staff were covered up.

"It's Anastasios Gauss." Li Zhizhong raised his head and glanced inside the arena, and roughly transliterated the name in his hand and said that these European and American athletes There are many long and twisty names, and few people can pronounce them completely.

When the host of the conference introduced the Greek athlete, many Greek audiences at the scene were almost completely ignited and cheered violently.

"I hope Yang Guangzong can play well. Generally speaking, the strength of his group of players is relatively weak except for Bernard Williams. If he plays well, he should have a chance. Entering the next round of semi-finals. Otherwise, the pressure on Su Zu will be too great."

Li Zhizhong sighed silently. After Su Zu won the 100m bronze medal, the attention of him at home and abroad has continued to rise. It can be seen from the continuous increase in the number of Chinese audiences at the scene that at this time Su Zu has already stood on the cusp of the storm, and the pressure on his shoulders is getting bigger and bigger.

Yang Guangzong stood on the starting line of the first track. Since it was the first track, his position was the most backward, and he could observe all the other players.

When he knew the players in the same group, he was really fortunate. Compared with other groups, the level of athletes in his group was indeed much lower.

The first group of the rematch includes Sean Crawford and Frankie Fredericks, and the third group includes the 100m champion Justin Gatlin and the fifth 100m Jamaican rookie Asafa Powell, not to mention in the fourth group, Suzu, Obekwelu, Stefan Buckland, these are all athletes who can run 20.20 and 20.30 in the 200 meters.

As long as there are only two people in each group, other athletes want to compete for the third place in the semi-finals, which is difficult to imagine.

And his group's rematch, currently, the most powerful is Bodner Williams of the United States, he has also heard of it. The level of other athletes is relatively low, it should be said that they are on the same level as Yang Guangzong.

Although Yang Guangzong is usually joking, he has a clear understanding of his own level. His best result this season is 20.59 seconds in the preliminaries. If he can maintain this level , or there is a certain breakthrough, perhaps this rematch has a chance to advance to the next round.

Heavy breathing came from Yang Guangzong's mouth and nose. Standing in front of the starting block, he kept jumping gently to keep his body in the best condition possible.

"The audience is much larger tonight than during the day, but the same Chinese audience also seems to be larger than before."

Yang Guangzong glanced around and observed the audience seats of the entire arena. Among the various banners and banners, the red five-star red flag could still be found.

"They came to watch Suzu's game."

Yang Guangzong did not know why such an idea came to his mind, thinking about it, the first Chinese to be the third runner-up in the men's 100m event, how attractive that was.

With the 200-meter event he participated in, there will naturally be a large number of spectators watching the Olympic Games in Athens.

However, Yang Guangzong has no jealousy in his heart. His goal for this Olympics is to advance to the semi-finals, and this time, it has been completed.

In another time and space, if Su Zu did not appear, he is the only Chinese athlete who broke into the semi-finals in the Olympic sprint event and heard the second shot.

And this time…

Yang Guangzong stared at the curved runway, and his eyes gradually became hot.

When it comes to the Olympic Games, it is natural to run as fast as you can, as far as you can go. But standing in front of the starting line, amid the cheers of countless audiences, Yang Guangzong felt that he had a new reason.

"If they can advance to the semi-finals, will there be less pressure on Su Zu's side?"

He thought silently in his heart, for him, the finals of the 200-meter event at the Olympic Games do not need to be thought about, it is a player of another level, even if he is not willing to admit defeat, but I also understand that if you can't run within 20.40 seconds, it is almost impossible to advance to the final. And his personal best result was 20.59 seconds, a difference of nearly 0.2 seconds, and it was impossible for the explosive seeds to run.

If you can't advance to the finals, it's just the semi-finals of the semi-finals, which are similar in a sense. score.

However, at the scene of the game, being able to advance to the semi-finals has a completely different meaning. This is the competition of individual rankings of athletes, and the other is to create more opportunities for teammates to some extent.

In the long-distance running or marathon ultra-long running competition of track and field events, there is a special positional role - the leader, also called the pacer, commonly known as the rabbit.

In the general public marathon, these leaders can be many athletes with long-distance running ability.

In the Olympic sports, the roles of these leaders are their teammates, and almost all of them are the most experienced people in the team, so that teammates can achieve better results good grades at the expense of his own game.

Yang Guangzong naturally understands that sprinting is not a long-distance running, and he cannot be a leader, but as long as he can take one more step forward, he can also squeeze out a place in the semi-finals, which can also cause pressure on other players.

Attention and stress are multiplied.

Like Su Zu in the final final of the men's 100m event, he faced the siege of three top American sprinters, one jumped the starting line and eight athletes, three of them were Americans, for the others All athletes have a huge sense of oppression.

"Do my best to make it to the semifinals, whatever the reason!"

When Yang Guangzong thought of this, a smile appeared on his face, this was the pressure on himself, and there was an indescribable sense of pride in his chest.

Teammates? opponent?

When did we stop fighting alone?

Before 2003, in the men's 200-meter sprint, from the Asian Games to the Asian Championships, to the East Asian Games and other competitions, from the preliminaries to the finals, he was the only one on the lonely track. With layers of encirclement and suppression by players from all over the world.

And now, in this Olympic venue, in the top track and field arena, whether he is Yang Guangzong or Chen Jian, he is no longer alone.

Someone is in front of you, and we will walk with you all the way!

“Onyourmarks”

As soon as the password sounded, Yang Guangzong stepped onto the starting block with a firm look.
