The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2460 Promotion!

The 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing began with the morning preliminary rounds of various events.

Chinese athlete Gong Lijiao far exceeded the passing mark on her first throw in the women's shot put preliminaries, easily advancing to the evening finals. Another athlete, Gao Yang, also successfully advanced.

Xie Wenjun advanced to the semifinals in the men's 110m hurdles.

The men's 20km race walk final is about to begin.

The 100-meter preliminary rounds will be held simultaneously.

……

The women's 100-meter race started first.

There are three little Qs that can be won over.

The top three advance directly.

The promotional slogan for this competition was: "The National Stadium 'Bird's Nest' track and field welcomes its first major showdown."
Women's 100m preliminary round.

"As one of the most explosive and exciting events in track and field, the women's 100-meter competition is full of tension from the preliminary stage. At 4 p.m. that day, the eight athletes in the first heat of the preliminaries stepped onto the track, and top athletes such as American star Tory Bowie and Jamaican legend Veronica Campbell-Brown all made their appearance."

"Chinese athlete Yuan Qiqi is particularly eye-catching. Wearing a red tight-fitting competition uniform with the word 'CHINA' printed on the chest, she must go all out to break through in a group full of strong competitors."

“Yuan Qiqi ran a time of 11.20 seconds in the Qing Tang City selection competition, which is his personal best. However, that was at high altitude and was quite good. Whether he can perform the same time at the Bird’s Nest with the help of wind speed remains to be seen.”

"However, I believe our athletes are ready."

"I will do my best to present my best self on stage."

Yang Jian and the others did not actually think Yuan Qiqi could advance.

The reason is simple: they're already doing well if they can even meet the standard. The gap in women's 100 meters is far greater than that in men's 100 meters worldwide.

They had actually completed their mission.

The entire team participated in the preliminary rounds of the 100-meter race.

This was already an overachievement of the task.

This match was different from Chen Juan.

No one needs to bear any extra pressure.

Inside the "Bird's Nest," the cheers of nearly 100,000 spectators merged into a surging wave, and the red national flags on the stands formed a sea.

Yuan Qiqi was slightly nervous.

However, she quickly adjusted.

Because there are many opportunities to compete abroad during this timeline.

She is completely different from her original self on the timeline.

As soon as the starting lineup for the first heat of the women's 100-meter preliminaries was announced on the electronic screen, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

American athlete Tori Bowie was in excellent form during the 2015 season, having previously run top times of around 10.80 seconds on multiple occasions, making him the biggest favorite to win his group.

Jamaican athlete Veronica Campbell-Brown, a two-time Olympic champion and five-time World Champion, still maintains a world-class competitive level even at the age of 33.

British sprinter Asha Philipp and German rising star Gina Lükenkemp are both key sprinters in their respective countries and their strength should not be underestimated.

Compared to these renowned rivals, Yuan Qiqi appears somewhat "low-key." Born in October 1995, she is not yet twenty. At that time, she had just stood out in the domestic selection trials and qualified for the Beijing World Championships, marking her second appearance on the world's top stage. But behind her low-key demeanor lies years of hard work and accumulation—during the preparation period, under the guidance of her coaching team, Yuan Qiqi achieved a qualitative leap in her starting reaction speed and mid-race acceleration, improving her personal best from around 11.30 seconds to 11.20 seconds, giving her the ability to compete with European athletes.

As Yang Jian spoke, he glanced at Liu Xiang, since the latter was an expert in running but a novice in commentary and needed his help to find the rhythm!
Seeing Yang Jian's gaze, Liu Xiang immediately nodded and said, "Playing at home will definitely bring pressure, but it will also be a great source of motivation."

"The goal is simply to perform at the level I've been training to, strive for advancement, and live up to the audience's expectations."

five minutes later.

At 16:05, the contestants began to appear in turn.

Torrey Bowie, dressed in a blue tight-fitting racing suit, displayed smooth and powerful muscle lines. During his warm-up sprints, he demonstrated amazing explosive power, drawing gasps from the audience.

Veronica Campbell-Brown, on the other hand, appeared calm and experienced. She slowly walked onto the track and waved to the audience in the stands. Years of experience in major competitions gave her an innate "champion's aura".

Asha Phillippe, sporting her signature dreadlocks and black wristbands, scanned the track with sharp eyes, constantly adjusting the angle of the starting blocks.

Yuan Qiqi was assigned to lane 6. She took a deep breath, walked to the side of the track, bent down and touched the rubber track, feeling the elasticity of the home track. Then she began her starting practice in an orderly manner—bending her knees, pushing off the ground, and swinging her arms. Every movement was precise and standardized, and she maintained a rare composure in the frenzied atmosphere.

Of course, you could also say that she was forcing herself to remain calm.

This is OK.

During the pre-competition technical inspection, the referees checked the athletes' equipment one by one. Yuan Qiqi's red competition uniform met the IAAF regulations, and the length of the spikes on her shoes was also within the standard range.

She stood in front of the starting blocks, placed her hands on the ground, and repeatedly simulated the starting motion, feeling the rhythm of her body's exertion.

At this moment, the Chinese audience in the stands began to shout "Go Yuan Qiqi!" in unison, the shouts growing louder and louder.

Yuan Qiqi tilted her head slightly, waved to the audience, and smiled confidently.

"The qualifying rules for the women's 100m preliminary round are that the top three in the group advance directly, and the top three among the remaining athletes qualify. For Yuan Qiqi, it is extremely difficult to advance directly as one of the top two in the group, as Tori Bowie and Campbell-Brown are clearly superior. Therefore, her core strategy is to "strive for third place in the group and become the best replacement athlete."

Needless to say, the first two can only open in 11 seconds, which is not even in the same league.

Take Philips, for example; it also hit a new high on November 11.10th this year.

This is without Gina Lükenkempel of Germany achieving godlike status; her Pb is only 11.25 this year and hasn't evolved yet.

If you put her in next year, she would already be under 11.05 seconds.

If you wait until the year after next, it will break through 11 directly.

But even with a time of 11.25 seconds, you can't say that Yuan Qiqi can surpass it.

Because the wind speed there was also less than one meter.

It's just a regular style.

Moreover, it's not at a high altitude.

Convert it.

She's not necessarily worse than Yuan Qiqi.

Moreover, she is even younger than Yuan Qiqi.

She was born in 96, so she's only 18 this year.

This group even includes Olga Savronova from Kazakhstan. This athlete had already run 11.12 seconds a few years ago.

The best time this year is 11.20 seconds.

And it's zero wind speed.

Although their results are exactly the same as Yuan Qiqi's, the criteria for calculating this season's performance are more rigorous...

It can easily defeat the latter.

This is roughly the environment for Yuan Qiqi's group.

It was extremely difficult.

Otherwise, Yang Jian and the others wouldn't have said not to put any pressure on her, nor would they have told her to try to get into the top three or even focus on filling the vacancy.

Because that's the reality.

Let's look at the lineup on paper.

They are in a very unfavorable position.

In this situation, the goal is to break through and successfully enter the semifinals.

For Yuan Qiqi herself, it was hellish difficulty.

Anyway, that's how it looks on this list.

Yuan Qiqi herself felt about the same way.

But the good thing is.

Not many people had high expectations for me in this match to begin with.

Looking forward to a girl who is not yet 20 years old.

That's definitely overthinking it.

Not everyone is Chen Juan.

Moreover, even when Chen Juan was in her late teens or early twenties, she didn't achieve particularly outstanding results.

and so.

Yuan Qiqi believes that all she needs to do is run freely.

Who cares what rank they are?

Anyway, no one makes any demands on me.

I decided to give it my all.

That's enough to leave no regrets.

Thinking about this made her feel much more at ease.

The rhythm of breathing and the frequency of heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

It is starting to return to normal.

Her coaching team devised a specific tactic for Yuan Qiqi before the match:
At the start, take advantage of your quick reaction time to establish initial speed and avoid falling behind your opponents.

During the running phase, maintain a stable stride frequency, gradually increase stride length, use strong core strength to maintain body balance, and avoid blindly following the trend to increase speed.

In the final 30-meter sprint, he unleashed his full explosive power and relied on his tenacious willpower to complete the overtake.

"Asha Phillips' strength is her fast acceleration during the middle of the race, but her sprinting ability is relatively weak. That's your weakness," her team coach advised her at the last minute before the race.

"Remember, your biggest opponent is not someone else, but yourself. Just play your best!" Yuan Qiqi nodded vigorously, memorizing the key points of the tactics, and then stepped onto the track, ready to face an important race in his professional career.

The starting signal for the competition was given.

The instructions were clearly communicated throughout the stadium.

Eight athletes quickly stepped onto the starting blocks, leaned forward, and placed their hands naturally on the ground in front of the starting line, their fingertips lightly touching the rubber track. The entire stadium fell silent instantly.

Only the breathing of the audience remained.

Yuan Qiqi kept her center of gravity low, her front knee bent at a 90-degree angle, her back leg muscles taut as she pushed off the ground, her eyes fixed on the track ahead, and her ears listening for the sound of the starting gun.

"Set—" As the second command sounded, Yuan Qiqi's buttocks lifted slightly, her center of gravity shifted further forward, all her muscles entered a state of high alert, and her nerves were stretched to the limit.

Her starting reaction time has repeatedly reached a high level of around 0.140 seconds in training, which is very good for a woman and is a key advantage for her to achieve good results.

"Look at Yuan Qiqi's performance in the Bird's Nest."

Yang Jian finished speaking.

bang——

The moment the starting gun fired, the competition seemed to be put on fast forward.

Yuan Qiqi reacted with lightning speed, quickly pushing her hands off the ground and using her hind legs to push off the ground, the powerful ground reaction force propelling her body forward.

Her starting motion was clean and crisp, without the slightest hesitation.

The front legs fold and swing forward quickly.

After the hind leg pushes off, quickly follow up.

His entire body exploded with speed.

The electronic timer showed that Yuan Qiqi's starting reaction time was... 0.130 seconds!
He ranked second among his competitors, only behind Tori Bowie's 0.125 seconds.

Her red figure stood out on the track. In the first 10 meters after the start, she was running alongside athletes such as Asha Philip and Gina Lükenkamp.

Because of a very good starting reaction.

It seems to be related to startup.

They did not fall into a disadvantageous position.

of course.

These top players won't use their full power in the preliminaries.

That's also a key point.

They went all out in the preliminary rounds.

That only includes newcomers like Yuan Qiqi.

Just try to get into the second round.

Seeded player.

Of course, you can't think of it that way.

During the acceleration phase after the start, Yuan Qiqi demonstrated excellent technique. Her upper body maintained an upright posture with a slight forward lean of about 15 degrees, which reduced air resistance and ensured her balance.

Swing your arms back and forth rapidly around your shoulders, with a moderate amplitude and a frequency of 4.2 times per second, using the swing of your arms to propel your body forward.

In terms of leg movements, Yuan Qiqi achieved a perfect match between stride frequency and stride length.

In the first 20 meters, she quickly increased her speed by taking small, high-frequency steps, gradually increasing her stride length from 1.5 meters to 2.0 meters, while maintaining a stable stride frequency of about 4.0 steps per second.

After 30 meters, she entered the stable acceleration phase of the middle run, with her stride length further increasing to 2.2 meters, her stride frequency remaining at 3.8 steps per second, and her speed continuing to climb.

At this point, the competition on the track had reached a fever pitch. Torrey Bowie, with his astonishing explosive power, gradually widened the gap and took the lead.

Campbell Brown, with his wealth of experience, played steadily and closely followed.

Yuan Qiqi, along with Asha Philip and Gina Lükenkemp, formed a third group in the competition, with the difference between the three being less than 0.05 seconds, and the outcome hanging by a thread.

Asha Phillips attempted to accelerate and overtake Yuan Qiqi during the middle of the race, suddenly increasing her stride frequency in an attempt to widen the distance through high-frequency push-offs.

But... Yuan Qiqi was prepared. She was not disrupted by her opponent's rhythm. Instead, she stuck to her own technical rhythm, maintained her balance by engaging her core muscles, and subtly adjusted her stride length to stay parallel to Asha Philip.

Or rather, that's it.

Three words.

It got stuck.

Whenever Asha Phillips tries to overtake.

Yuan Qiqi always manages to close the gap again with her tenacious fighting spirit and consistent technical skills.

Not letting myself be left behind.

However, after her burst of speed, Asha Phillips still managed to overtake her by relying on her even greater speed.

Yuan Qiqi is fourth.

Surprisingly, the other few, who should have been locked in a fierce battle with Yuan Qiqi, were the ones who...

For example, Gina Lükenkemp from Germany.

For example, Olga Savronova from Kazakhstan.

Their strength is at least on par with Yuan Qiqi's, or even surpasses hers.

The results are all here.

Because of the pressure of the competition.

It wasn't fully realized.

That's how sprinting is; if you don't perform to your full potential, you might not have many more chances.

The issue of tolerance for error.

It only exists in absolute masters.

For them.

They are far from being experts.

and so.

Yuan Qiqi, who has maintained a stable performance.

They quickly rose to fourth place.

At least from this perspective.

There's still a chance to get Little Q.

Because if your rank is too low, even if you get promoted, theoretically it's unlikely that every Q will appear in the same group.

Then the probability of you getting Little Q will become smaller and smaller.

If Yuan Qiqi walks in front, there is a good chance.

"Yuan Qiqi is in a good position right now, she must keep it up!"

"Keep going! There's still a chance! Don't give up!" Liu Xiang watched and put himself in the shoes of the person watching.

Unlike Yang Jian, who can maintain more rationality here.

Beginners are prone to becoming completely absorbed in the influence of their environment.

There's not much time to be distracted.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

60 m.

70 meters. Entering the final 30 meters sprint, the race reached its most exciting moment.

Tori Bowie is already far ahead, and the outcome of the championship is a foregone conclusion.

Campbell Brown has also solidified his second-place position, making his qualification prospects clear.

The competition in the third group is becoming increasingly fierce. Yuan Qiqi, Asha Philip, and Gina Lükenkamp are almost neck and neck, their figures intertwined on the track, wondering who will be the first to cross the finish line.

Whoever does so will gain the initiative in advancing.

For these big shots, this is indeed not physically demanding. It's also a stage where they should hold back.

But for newcomers like Yuan Qiqi...

it's here.

On the first shot.

We should do our best.

So she is giving it her all.

At this moment, Yuan Qiqi's physical strength was nearing its limit, and her leg muscles began to feel sore and swollen because the shot had been too intense and the pressure was too great.

He's not the only one with this problem.

Those were other players who were on par with her, or even slightly better.

Now aren't they all ranked at the back?
This is the allure of competitive sports and the cruelty of the game.

But only one thought was in her mind: "Charge! We must get through!"

She gritted her teeth, leaned forward again, increasing the angle to 20 degrees to minimize air resistance.

The swing of the arms was further increased, in an attempt to use the inertia of the arms to propel the body forward.

The force of the legs pushing off the ground is more rapid, and each push uses all the strength of the body.

Her gaze was fixed on the finish line; the sound of the wind and the cheers of the crowd had become blurred, leaving only her body's instinctive reaction—

Push off the ground.

Arm swing.

go ahead.

Asha Phillips was also sprinting with all her might, her face slightly contorted from the effort, trying to overpower Yuan Qiqi with her final burst of power.

Maintain third place to finish the game.

The distance between the two remained at the centimeter level throughout.

The tense atmosphere on the track was almost suffocating.

Philip was also affected by the game, if she could really perform at her best level of the season.

Yuan Qiqi doesn't actually have many opportunities here.

But it's just...

It didn't perform to its full potential.

This gave Yuan Qiqi a chance.

Now is the chance.

It all depends on you, the person involved.

Can we catch it?
"There's a chance! We're currently in fourth place; just holding on is enough!"

"As long as we can maintain this level, we have a chance to advance!"

It seems likely that Yuan Qiqi will secure fourth place, giving her a position that would be most advantageous for winning over Xiao Q.

Yang Jian's tone also became slightly nervous.

Since you have absolutely no chance, there's no need for you to be nervous.

On the contrary, it seems that Yuan Qiqi has found an opportunity.

That's when the feeling of tension immediately arose.

In the last 10 meters.

At this point, Yuan Qiqi's physical strength was nearing its limit.

The intense acceleration of 90 meters made her thigh muscles sore and almost numb. Her breathing rhythm was disrupted, and the rapid panting mixed with the whistling wind created a suffocating feeling of pressure.

All she could see was the white line at the finish line, blurry yet incredibly clear, as if it were the only lighthouse supporting her to keep going.

Asha Phillips's breath was right beside her, her warm breath almost touching her shoulder. The little eagle's star athlete locked onto her pace, and the explosive force of her right foot pushing off the ground propelled her body forward by half a shoulder.

Between the red figure and the blue figure.

Blue briefly gained a slight advantage.

5 meters left, 3 meters left, 2 meters left.

The top few gods are fighting, and we can't control that.

But third.

If it were right in front of you.

Yuan Qiqi couldn't possibly not want it.

She hadn't actually expected to get to this position before the race.

It was a tougher battle than she had imagined.

That's much better.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she now had a chance to advance directly.

There is hope that we can save Xiao Q.

All of this makes her a 19-year-old girl.

The mood is stirring.

and.

There is still a possibility of a tie in the end.

Then.

As long as you are from Ersha Island.

You've been personally trained by Su Shen in the optimal crimping technique.

Then.

What about those last few meters?

This is your stage to shine.

Yuan Qiqi sensed it.

She sensed that Philip was no longer pulling her away from behind.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to deliver the decisive blow.

After all, it's called a killer shot.

You need to get close for it to be possible.

If they keep pulling apart, then it's all over.

Because Yuan Qiqi has now pushed her body to its limits.

This shot wasn't fired on the plateau.

She gave it her all.

That's probably how it is.

At the very end.

Yuan Qiqi realized that she seemed to be keeping pace with him.

When it seems that the opponent's lead is not too large.

Yuan Qiqi suddenly had countless thoughts running through her mind.

Our athletes are both male and female.

The moment of decisive victory against an athlete from another country.

at last.

Is it my turn now?
Thinking of this, Yuan Qiqi's body reacted instinctively:
Her upper body suddenly leaned forward, the angle of the tilt increasing sharply from 20 degrees to 25 degrees, almost parallel to the track. This posture minimized air resistance and shifted the body's center of gravity forward significantly, adding crucial inertia for the sprint.

Her arms swung the widest range of the entire event, with her elbows bent at a fixed 90-degree angle. Her knuckles turned white from the force of her clenched fists, and each forward swing seemed to break through the barrier of the air.

When swinging back, exert force forcefully.

It engages the back and core muscles together.

Transfer all the power of your body to your legs.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

With each push-off, the forefoot almost embeds itself into the rubber track, and the reaction force from the ground is transmitted upwards along the foot.

The energy travels through the ankle, calf, and thigh, eventually converging into a forward propulsive force.

Asha Phillips clearly gave it her all.

Her face was contorted with effort, her jaw clenched, and the veins in her neck bulged as she tried to widen the gap completely with one last push.

Secure your qualification for advancement.

The last two meters.

The difference between the two remains extremely small.

Perhaps Philip.

A little ahead.

In slow motion, the camera clearly shows their swinging legs landing almost simultaneously.

At the same time, they pushed off.

As Asha Philip swung her right arm, it accidentally brushed against Yuan Qiqi's left arm, but... neither of them turned around, nor did they even pause.

He just swung his arms even more wildly and pushed off the ground to move forward.

Yuan Qiqi's eyes were fixed on the finish line, the white horizontal line reflected in her pupils. She could feel her chest rapidly approaching the finish line.

The instinct to press the line made her tighten her core sharply.

He thrust his chest forward suddenly.

The shoulders also naturally moved forward.

This is the most crucial "chest out and line-pressing" technique in sprinting, a movement she has honed thousands of times in her training over the past few years.

after all.

There's a joke about Ersha Island.

You lose if you press the line.

Then you've really wasted the training environment and conditions on Ersha Island.

Hence this scene.

Ersha Island has a long history of being relatively rare.

Yuan Qiqi, I don't want to be a negative example.

The last 1 meters.

Asha Phillips seemed to realize Yuan Qiqi's intention to cross the finish line, and she also tightened her core, trying to get her chest across the finish line first.

but.

Yuan Qiqi's movements were faster and more decisive; her body seemed to transform into a red lightning bolt, drawing a sharp arc near the final point.

At this moment, the two bodies were almost completely side by side, and even the strands of hair were on the same horizontal line.

call----------

Press the line!
The first place winner is American athlete Tory Bowie.

10.88...

These preliminary results are truly frightening.

Veronica Campbell-Brown gave up when she realized she had no hope of catching up.

11.04.

Advancing easily is also good.

She was pulled back more than a meter and a half from the front.

It's a clear gap.

But she and the third place.

It also widened the gap considerably.

It even exceeded two meters.

Thirdly...

Yang Jian quickly finished announcing the scores of the first two people, then kept staring at the third column...

Is it possible for Yuan Qiqi to advance directly?

From his perspective just now.

It's not impossible.

The numbers on the electronic timer jumped on the large screen.

Yang Jian's gaze was fixed on that string of numbers—

11 second 27!

Yuan Qiqi...

11.27! ! ! !
Following closely behind was Asha Philip's achievement.

11 second 28!

A difference of 0.01 seconds.

Yang Jian immediately announced the program loudly—

"Yuan Qiqi pulled off a stunning comeback by a hair's breadth, thanks to her last-second chest-out press on the line!"

"Directly into the top three!"

"Directly advances to the semifinals!!!"

"The women's 100-meter dash also had a great start!!!"

on site.

I didn't think there was much hope of advancing.

The audience didn't cheer much.

That's one way of putting it.

Enter directly.

The audience immediately responded with enthusiastic applause.

Cheers erupted like a tsunami.

Yuan Qiqi made a vow.

In her entire life.

I've never heard such loud cheers before.

Of course, this is also because...

There were enough people sitting in the Bird's Nest.

It can accommodate more spectators than other venues.

Even the one in London.

That time in Moscow.

is also like this.

None of them are as good as the Bird's Nest.

10 spectators entered the venue.

Any sound multiplied by 10.

All of this will be met with cheers and applause.

They will all be tsunamis.
