The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 773 Break a world record first!

"9 seconds 86?!"

The commentator Yang Jian's brain was on the verge of death for a moment.

He had indeed thought that there would be very good results in this World Championships, but according to convention, those famous players would never go all out in the preliminaries, and breaking records would only happen in the finals.

What's more... today's competition venue is facing a headwind, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

So the first group had the obviously best results, and the 6th group had the worst overall results - they didn't even play.

But when Li Polo put the result of "9 seconds 86" in front of him, he immediately organized his words:

"This is only the first round of preliminaries. I believe that Li Polo has not reached his best condition."

"I'm already looking forward to what kind of results he will get in the finals!"

-

"Ula~~~Li Polo!!!"

A sudden roar of mountains and tsunami sounded in the sky above the Khalifa International Stadium.

Li Poluo was a little surprised.

After all, this is Doha, Qatar. It is neither the United Kingdom nor China. Although there are tens of thousands of spectators sitting in the stands,...how can there be fans in this sports desert of Qatar?

But when he looked up, he found that he was still too small!

On that stand, a huge poster of myself was flying!

There's even a flag with his Chelsea No. 1 jersey on it!

And under those flags, most of them are local residents wearing white scarves on their heads!

【My layout is really too small!】

Li Polo shook his head repeatedly, feeling deeply guilty for his ignorance:

[Why am I the number one superstar with over 1.2 billion fans on the Internet? Isn’t it normal to have a few fans in Qatar? 】

[Who am I to discriminate against Qatari fans?]

After condemning himself, he quickly turned to the fans, raised his hands towards them, gave them a thumbs up to express his gratitude, and then received a burst of even more enthusiastic cheers and screams!

"Ula~~~Li Polo!!!"

"I am willing to let my daughter be your second wife!!!"

Hearing such unrestrained cheers, Li Polo's handsome face suddenly darkened!

[This... now it is changed to a Qatari household registration. Can Lisanna agree? 】

Sitting in the VIP box, Lisanna herself had already heard it. She immediately expressed her congratulations to Li Polo:

【Negative emotions from Lisanna, +666!】

Three minutes later, the competition in the sixth group ended, and the 48 players from the six groups were finally ranked and eliminated.

From the British side, four people, Lee Polo, Gemili, Hughes, and Edobrunn, advanced collectively. Among them, Edobrunn advanced with a ranking of 24th...

For the Chinese team, Xie Zhenye advanced directly, while Su Bingtian advanced with 22nd place, while their teammate Xu Zhouzheng had no choice but to miss out.

The 24 players who advance to the semi-finals will be divided into three groups to compete in sequence, and Su Bingtian's group does not include Li Polo.

But...he met the second place in the fifth group, Oliveira!

As well as British flyer Gummili, Canadian star Brown, and another American flyer, Coleman, who advanced to the first place in the sixth group!

Su Bingtian's luck doesn't look very good.

But there are only three groups in total, so it doesn’t matter whether you are lucky or not.

For example, Xie Zhenye met Gatlin, the number one flying player in the United States after Usain Bolt, Canadian leader De Grasse, and Jamaican flying player Blake!

And...Li Polo!

-

The good news is that the 100-meter semi-finals will be held one day later, and Xie Zhenye still has 24 hours to prepare.

And Li Polo still had to participate in the preliminaries of two other individual events.

First is 5000 meters.

In addition to Lee Polo, there are two other British players participating: Andrew Butchart (currently ranked 13th in the world) and Marco Scott (ranked 40th).

And... they happened to be assigned to the same group.

Compared with the 100-meter preliminaries where there were 48 people, there were also a lot of people here in the 5,000-meter event. There were 40 people in total, divided into 2 groups.

There is no "finale" this time. Lee Polo plays directly in the first group.

Among the 19 people in his group, the most competitive one is obviously the Ethiopian flying star currently ranked No. 1 in the world - Selemon Barega.

The flying star participated in the U20 World Championship for the first time at the age of 16 and won the championship among a group of 19-year-old brothers, starting his career from then on.

At the age of 17, he directly participated in the adult competition and won fifth place in the 5,000 meters at the World Championships in London, which is remarkable.

At the age of 18, he participated in the World Indoor Championships and won the silver medal in the 3,000 meters and the fourth place in the 5,000 meters. He made rapid progress. In the same year, he also won his first, second, and third Diamond League championships.

At the age of 19, he stood on the field in Doha.

Yes, this guy who is ranked number one in the world was born in 2000 and is only 19 years old at this time!

After seeing him, Li Poluo couldn't help but sigh:

"If I don't give these bastards a good beating, I'll be too old to even carry the knife!"

In addition to Barrega, there is another heavyweight player, and that is his fellow countryman Mukata Edris.

Compared with Barrega, who was just starting out, Edris, who was born in 1994 and was born in the same year as Li Polo, has been competing in the competition for many years. He was the 5000m champion at the London World Championships two years ago!

With peak physical fitness and rich experience, he is Li Polo's fierce rival!

In addition to his personal abilities, he also has a team!

In addition to Edris and Barega, there is another Ethiopian player Haile Bekele in the first group, and they can completely cooperate with each other.

For example, it helps Edris save energy at the beginning and blocks his opponent during the sprint!

Although Li Polo also has a team, they only practiced together once in the afternoon of the previous day. How much tacit understanding and cooperation can they have?

-

With 20 athletes crowded on 10 tracks, it is obviously impossible for everyone to have a running aid like in the 100 meters.

Everyone is leaning slightly sideways, with one foot against the starting line and the other foot pushing hard on the ground.

Instead of seizing a favorable position in the inner circle, Li Polo stood alone in the outer circle, and was even almost squeezed into the outer wall.

Fortunately, no one could squeeze in because of his physique. Instead, he pushed the Swiss who dared to compete with him in core strength to the ninth lane.

The camera slowly swept over the 20 players, and only Li Polo's place seemed particularly spacious...

Then, there was a soft "pop" sound, and the 20 players were like arrows, flying towards the same goal!

It's really the same goal.

Just 10 seconds later, the 20 contestants, no matter which track they came from, finally gathered on the two tracks on the far left!

Everyone knows that the innermost track is of course the shortest!

"Huh?"

Yang Jian exclaimed:

"Why is Li Polo still on the outermost track?"

In the camera, such a special picture suddenly appeared:

19 players crowded into the two tracks on the far left and advanced slowly, while more than ten meters away from them, Li Polo was accelerating and sprinting alone! -

Sprint.

He is indeed sprinting!

Although he still couldn't reach the full strength of 100 meters, he only needed to use 90% of his energy. After 20 seconds, he had already completed 200 meters!

And those players who used 80% of their energy to maintain speed and save energy have been thrown at least 30 meters away by him!

At this time, Li Polo slowly adjusted from the left outside track to the inside track. Even after deducting the gap between the inside and outside, he still maintained a lead of more than 20 meters!

【This guy...can he maintain this speed?】

The 17 opponents behind him couldn't help but have such thoughts.

The two British players have already seen his strength, so they are used to it.

After establishing a sufficient lead, Li Polo's speed finally slowed down, but this did not mean that anyone could catch up with him.

Even if he reduces the energy from 90% to 80%, it is still enough to remain unsurpassed!

After all, if you want to catch up with 80% of Li Polo, others must at least increase their energy to 90%!

【Let him lead the way!】

[Let’s wait until the last 1,000 meters to decide the winner!]

The three Ethiopian players quickly exchanged opinions and decided not to act rashly for the time being.

This is also normal.

Since there are no "rabbits" to accompany the runners in world competitions such as the Olympics and World Championships, athletes are reluctant to lead in order to save energy. Therefore, they often slow down the pace in the initial stage to ensure that they retain enough energy for the final sprint.

But the Kenyan players in the team were already panicking:

【Save physical energy?】

【Are you not crazy?】

【Who's physical ability can be compared with this guy?】

[Our marathon god Kipchoge was killed by this guy!]

Looking at Li Polo's back getting further and further away, everyone remembered the showdown more than four months ago:

[A pervert who can improve the marathon world record by more than 7 minutes, you actually want to compete with him in physical fitness?]

A regular track is 400 meters long, and 5,000 meters is equivalent to 12.5 laps.

But... when Li Polo finished the 11th lap, he caught up with the last opponent.

Super circle!

After the 12th lap, he passed more than 30 competitors one after another, including two teammates from the UK.

In the last half of Li Polo's lap, the Ethiopian trio could already hear his breathing!

【madman!】

【You must not be surpassed by him!】

【This will destroy our remaining dignity!】

Edris gritted his teeth, swung his legs, and started sprinting early when he still had 600 meters to go!

Then... they heard a burst of warm cheers from the stands!

And a storm blowing from my ears!

"Whoosh!!!"

Edris and his teammates finally fell into despair!

[This is his 100% sprint speed?!]

With a huge advantage of 420 meters ahead of the second place, Li Polo booked the first place in the preliminaries!

10 minutes and 53 seconds!

He improved the world record (12 minutes and 37 seconds in 2004) that had been in the dust for 15 years by a full 1 minute and 44 seconds!

The previous world record holder was none other than Ethiopian long-distance runner Kenenisa Bekele!

Lee Polo, he stepped on the "corpse" of Ethiopia's young generation and defeated the Ethiopian legend!

[Negative sentiments from track and field fans around the world, +199.58 million!]
