The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 772 Is 9 seconds and 98 very fast?

"Zhuang TV, Zhan TV, viewers, what you are watching now is the 2019 World Athletics Championships held in Doha, Qatar...the men's 100m qualifying round."

The commentator Yang Jian was sitting upright, and he also glanced at the guests sitting opposite:

"The one who will be explaining with me today is the beloved Wang Mengwang."

Before he finished speaking, someone on the Internet was already complaining:

"Why do we need a roller skater to commentate on the World Athletics Championships? And she's a woman!"

Someone below sent three "?" in a row:

"It turns out to be a woman!"

Director Wang, who has short hair, is cheerful and outgoing, and at first glance he is indeed heroic:

"Today is the first day of the World Championships in Doha. According to the schedule, there are some qualifiers. I originally thought that I had no chance to play, but I didn't expect to receive the notice three days in advance."

She smiled heartily:

"I have to thank a certain world superstar for giving me an extra chance to play!"

Yang Jian smiled and nodded:

"Yes, the biggest highlight of this tournament is the number one superstar in football today, Lee Polo.

According to the confirmed information, he has signed up to participate in ten individual competitions alone!"

He did some popular science by the way:

"According to the rules of the competition, a player can only participate in a maximum of 4 events. Lee Polo is making a major exception this time."

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders:

"Maybe World Athletics can't wait to seize this opportunity to promote the popularity of track and field!"

Yang Jian looked at the schedule in his hand:

"Li Polo will compete in the preliminaries of three events today, including the 100 meters, 5000 meters, and... long jump."

He was stunned for a moment:

"When did he secretly practice long jump again?"

-

"Hi! Lao Su!"

In the warm-up area of ​​the stadium, when other players were doing their final intense warm-ups, Li Polo, who looked relaxed, even ran to the Chinese team and said hello to old acquaintances.

Hearing this greeting, Su Bingtian suddenly felt his whole body straighten up.

He abandoned his coaches and teammates who were cheering everyone on and jumped out with a single step:

"Polo! You are going to appear soon, why don't you hurry up and prepare?"

Li Polo hugged him in greeting, then grinned:

"Do I need to prepare specially for the district preliminaries?"

"But... I'm looking forward to seeing you in the finals!"

Su Bingtian nodded slightly:

"I try my best."

Li Polo was keenly aware of:

[This old friend who once competed for gold and silver with me in Birmingham seems to be less enthusiastic today? 】

[Is it because the body is injured and has not returned to its peak condition? 】

【Or...are you scared by me?】

-

In addition to Su Bingtian, the Chinese track and field team also sent Xie Zhenye and Xu Zhouzheng to compete in the 100 meters.

Among them, Su and Xie participated directly in the preliminaries, while Xu Zhouzheng needed to break through the qualifying rounds before he could continue the competition.

For Li Polo, he obviously does not need to participate in any qualifying competition.

Representing Britain with him, there are three famous British generals:

Adam Gemili, Ojie Edoburun (previously translated as Ed Brown), and Janet Hughes are all only one or two years apart from Lee Polo.

As a teammate of the British national team, Lee Polo has been actively communicating with teammates and coaches of the national team in the week after finishing his retreat, using their experience to help him improve his small skills, and he has improved somewhat.

And his presence also brought a new blood to the British team, which made the coach particularly excited, but made his teammates inexplicably sad.

[Fake! This time we are going to study with Lord Li again!]

But they immediately comforted themselves:

[No! We haven’t won any important medals in previous years!]

【How can we be jealous of Lord Li?!】

-

At the Khalifa International Stadium, the men's 100m qualifying competition began soon.

There are a total of 48 contestants who have entered the preliminaries, and only half of them can advance to the semi-finals.

The 48 players are divided into 6 groups with 8 people in each group. In principle, players from the same team will not be placed in the same group to avoid cannibalism.

At 6 p.m., the first group of preliminaries officially started.

Li Polo decided to watch the other people's competition live.

The contestants in the first group include China's Xie Zhenye, Britain's Edo Brun, Canada's Brown, South Africa's Akani Simbein, France's Biernet, and three guys' national flags, Li Bo

Luo doesn’t know him at all!

The process of the preliminaries is very simple. After the names are announced casually on the live broadcast, the camera will show the shots one by one, and then the eight contestants will stick out their buttocks and prepare to take off after hearing the gun.

"Snapped!"

After just 10 seconds, the results of the first preliminary round were announced.

Simbain took the lead with a time of 10.01 seconds, and Brown ranked second with a time of 10.16 seconds. The gap between the two sides is visible to the naked eye.

Xie Zhenye defeated other strong opponents and qualified for the semi-finals with a time of 10.19 seconds in third place!

As for Lee Polo's teammate Edobrun, he only ran 10.23 seconds, ranking fifth in the group.

However, he has not been eliminated directly, because in addition to the top three in the 6 groups that can directly advance, there are still six additional promotion places in the end!

They all still have hope of resurrection.

The second group also includes famous players:

The British sprint leader Gemelli, the American flying star Gatlin, Canada's De Grasse, Australia's Browning, and Jamaica's Tracy.

Another 10 seconds later, Gatlin was the first to cross the line in 10.06 seconds. De Grasse and Gemili ranked second and third respectively, and the others had to wait for the final ranking.

In the third group, it was Xu Zhouzheng’s turn to appear.

Ten seconds later, the British star Hughes won the first place in the group with a time of 10.08 seconds. The 20-year-old Nigerian youngster Ekwo and the 28-year-old Liberian star Matadi ranked second and third. Xu Zhouzheng only ranked seventh in the group with a time of 10.36 seconds.

The results are obviously no longer expected to advance.

Su Bingtian played in the fourth group.

"Pa~"

Just looking at the moment of starting, Li Polo knew that Su Bingtian's body was not excited today, and he did not go all out as he did in the last fight.

The results also illustrate this point. Su Bingtian only ran 10.21 seconds in the end, ranking fifth in the group.

Jamaican flyer Blake ran 10.07, and French star Vicott ranked second with a difference of 0.01 seconds.

Li Polo did not read the rankings below carefully, because it was his turn in the next group!

-

"There are six groups in total, and Lee Polo played in the fifth group. World Athletics also knows how to wrap things up!"

The commentator Yang Jian unknowingly accomplished a great achievement:

[The correct use of "finale" - refers to the penultimate appearance]

Wang Meng was completely unaware of his achievement and just followed his words:

"The audience is probably all excited, right?"

“Fortunately, all three players of our Chinese team have finished the competition, so we don’t have to worry about competing in the same group as Li Polo!”

Yang Jian looked at the list of appearances:

"The more famous players in the fifth group include American star Rogers, Italian 20-year-old Tortu, Brazilian rising star Oliveira, and Asian Games champion Koike Yuki. This young player has the best record. , it is said to be 9 seconds 98!”

Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders indifferently:

"Is 9.98 seconds fast? Li Polo's indoor 100-meter result... is faster than him!"

After a short period of preparation, everyone's attention was focused on the track.

8 players occupy the 2nd to 9th tracks respectively, and Li Polo is in the 3rd track.

On the right is an Iranian player with a beard and no specific age.

The person on the left, near the middle circle, is Oliveira from Brazil. Although he is a tall, long-legged mixed-race man with dark skin, he still looks a bit childish.

The most famous Rogers is in lane 5.

"Ready?"

The starter's voice came from the speaker behind the starting block.

Li Polo took a breath, bent his knees, and stepped on the running machine with his left and right feet one after another.

The arena, which was noisy before, also became quiet at this moment.

Everyone's ears stood up, waiting for the gunshot.

"Snapped!!!"

Li Polo's feet suddenly exerted force almost out of reflex!

Standing outside the court, personal assistant Legg Strong suddenly slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed with joy:

"After training with him for more than half a year, I finally learned how to start with a gun!"

"This is a professional track and field athlete!"

Before he could cry, he saw a strong wind crossing the finish line!

Li Polo... He is at least 5 meters ahead of Oliveira, who is in second place!

"How many?"

Everyone is waiting for the results to be released.

The on-field referee didn't keep them waiting too long.

Before the last runner reached the finish line, Li Polo's results were already displayed on the big screen:

"9 seconds 86!"

Oliveira, who was in second place, only ran 10.09 seconds!

The whole arena is in a state of excitement!

Li Polo, he was the only athlete to run under 10 seconds in the qualifying and preliminaries!

Only the chairman of British Athletics could not help but complain:

"Why are you running so hard in the preliminaries?"

"You used up your status early. What will happen to the semi-finals and finals?"
