……

The final list of finalists is as follows:

Group 1: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price, Chen Juan.

The second group consists of Tori Bowie and Kelly-Ann Baptiste.

Group 3: Dafner Spipers and Veronica Campbell-Brown.

Xiao Q: Okabarei, Wei Yongli.

It was truly an ultimate clash.

Who would have thought that a time of 10.96 seconds or more would be required to qualify?
Moreover, even 10.96 seconds requires a thousandth of a second.

Is this something an ordinary person could do?

this is not.

Horror to the extreme.

Some Asian athletes, upon seeing this result, realized that they had underestimated the challenge.

I used to think that as long as you could open the app for 11 seconds, you would definitely be among the top eight in the world.

They all have a ticket to the finals of a world championship, no matter what.

But now.

It's fair to say that, based on current observations, that's not the case at all.

The times have entered a brand new stage.

The wheels have moved to a new position.

You want to rely on this to do it...

Reality will give you a harsh lesson.

think too much.

Those achievements are already considered top-notch or even above-average in Asia.

A score that leaves the second-place team a Pacific Ocean in the dust.

Put it here.

They couldn't even make it to the finals.

It's just so cruel.

This also had a profound and impactful experience for many young prodigies who were participating in a major competition for the first time.

I never imagined it would be this terrifying.

That's absolutely outrageous.

There might have been some underlying smugness before.

After that match, everything turned to ashes.

Because it turns out that even if you open it for 11 seconds, you still can't get in.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was still one spot for Xiao Q.

Then the score for entering the finals will be an unprecedented 10.90 or below.

Because Okabarre's time is 10.89 seconds.

While everyone was still savoring the women's sprint, the men's 100-meter event was put back on the agenda.

There is no chance to breathe at all.

And it was the first group to come up.

The one with the highest popularity...

Su Shen.

"Alright, viewers, now comes the moment you've all been waiting for: the men's 100m semifinals are about to begin."

At this moment, the scene cuts to Su Shen leading the first group onto the field.

And this group following behind Su Shen...

Not someone else.

It's Usain Bolt.

Yang Jian jokingly added, "I believe Liu Xiang, like me, was so focused on this match last night that it somewhat affected his sleep quality."

"I'm really looking forward to it too, I'm really looking forward to it," Liu Xiang replied with a smile.

Not to mention the two of them, the entire nation is looking forward to it.

Track and field fans across the country.

Who wouldn't be looking forward to it?
"We are also looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks will fly between Suarez and Bolt in the semi-final."

"Because they were placed in the same group in the semifinals."

"Perhaps God wanted everyone to see them compete against each other on the same track during their peak years."

"Regarding this performance prediction, I have communicated with Liu Xiang before. 10 seconds is no longer a guarantee for you to enter the final. It has been difficult to guarantee it since 08. If you want to enter the final with 10 seconds, that would only be possible before 08."

“That’s right,” Liu Xiang nodded and said, “This also shows the continuous progress of the times.”

“Results that used to guarantee a spot in the finals are no longer secure.”

"This year's strength is very strong, and the level of track and field around the world is improving, but fortunately..." Liu Xiang smiled as he said this, "my country's track and field level is also constantly improving."

"Especially the 100 meters."

"I think making it to the finals shouldn't be a problem."

"What everyone is looking at now is how much better the semi-finalists are, and whether everyone can make it to the finals."

"Because this year is still full of strong competitors, more and more people need to secure a spot in the advancement round. To be honest, I thought about it before going to bed last night, and I felt..."

"There are at least 10 people who can advance."

"But we all know that in short track events like this, there will only be 8 people in the final qualifying list, so some people are destined to be eliminated before the final."

"I just hope that all of our athletes can go all the way to the end."

"They can all shine at the Bird's Nest finals."

At this moment, the camera switched to the competition venue.

Suarez was standing right next to Bolt.

"We can see that at this time, Suarez and Bolt are grouped together. However, he is already used to this kind of situation. Not to mention that their strengths are now comparable, even before this, he was often grouped next to Bolt."

"In my memory, this has happened five or six times."

"So he has a lot of experience dealing with aliens."

“Of course.” Yang Jian seemed to recall scenes of Su Shen’s growth: “He has now become an alien as well.”

"So this match is aliens versus aliens."

"With those two in the game, everyone else pales in comparison."

The camera begins to zoom in on the athletes.

"The first one comes from Julian Reis of Germany, whose best time this year is 10.09."

"The second French heartthrob is Christophe Lemaître, who is also the fastest white man in history. However, he has never been able to break the 9.90-second barrier. I wonder how he will perform today."

"The third lane also features one of the youngest athletes in history to break 10 seconds, American youngster Bromell, who achieved this at the age of 18."

"The fourth lane is occupied by a young athlete from Canada, André de Grasse. His best time this year is 9.95 seconds. He was born in 1994 and is 21 years old this year."

"The fifth one..."

Yang Jian raised his voice.

In the original timeline, he called out the name of Asian champion Su Shen, but here, the first name he called out was—

"World champion, world record holder, Olympic record holder, the red lightning—"

"Su Shen!"

"From China!"

The scene erupted in a deafening roar.

Su Shen————

The names are getting more and more outrageous.

Lin Yanfang and the others were also sitting here, enjoying Su Shen's match.

This feeling is completely different from when I was just preparing to enter university seven years ago.

By this time, she had already graduated with a master's degree.

Saying goodbye to my student days completely.

The only constant.

This is the person who has been with me since my student days.

he.

Always there.

And now he...

They became their own legitimate husband and wife.

The camera then focused on her, and as a legally married couple, they naturally received blessings from audiences across the country.

Lin Yan smiled and waved gently.

Completely different from 08, she now appears more poised and confident in public.

At this moment, Su Shen deliberately made the same gesture as he had made in this position in his previous life.

While facing the audience with your arms outstretched, then face the camera and clench your fists.

Only this time.

Although the person is the same, the difference lies in their experiences, honors, and abilities.

The aura they create is completely different.

Yang Jian even said directly, "The way his hands clenched into fists felt like he was about to crush the whole world."

Liu Xiang also said, "That's how a world record holder should be; that's the kind of spirit one should maintain."

"After all, as a world record holder, everyone is a challenger to you."

"You are the one who is defending the title."

Liu Xiang was, after all, a world record holder and the first person of Asian descent to achieve this in a short track speed skating event.

He certainly has the authority to speak on this matter.

They were also able to empathize with Su Shen.

Then, Su Shen suddenly opened his right hand and waved it to the right. At that moment, the camera started to move and zoom in on Bolt next to him.

"Oh, Su Shen is making this gesture at this moment as if he is saying that he is the host and you are the guest."

"That's interesting."

“This is not just about showing politeness, but also about showing your own strength,” Liu Xiang said. “It’s like telling others that while it’s good to be polite to them, you are still the owner of this place.”

You really don’t want to say that.

Su Shen.

That's exactly what it means.

Everyone was happy to hear this explanation.

The atmosphere at the scene was already high even before the match started.

"In lane seven, the world's fastest man ever, the Black Lightning, the World Championship record holder, Suarez, the biggest enemy in the Bird's Nest championship."

"Usain Bolt!"

This place is a bit different from the past. In the past, when people came here, they were greeted with huge cheers, almost as loud as those for Su Shen.

But that's clearly not the case here.

Because the environment has changed.

He is now Su Shen's biggest rival.

If it weren't for our own people posing a threat.

Then we can certainly appreciate Bolt's speed.

But if someone from his own team participates in the race, or even if Bolt is his direct competitor.

Then.

You will feel the goodwill of our people.

It turned into feeling the hostility of the Chinese people.

This is actually quite normal; track and field fans, sports fans, and general sports enthusiasts in any country are like this.

When there are no strong athletes of their own.

Under normal circumstances, the strongest support should be chosen.

Moreover, Bolt shone brightly at the Bird's Nest, made a name for himself there, and has a special connection with the Bird's Nest.

Everyone naturally felt proud as well.

After all, it was at the Bird's Nest that he created the most amazing finish line crossing in Olympic history.

It made a stunning debut at the Bird's Nest.

Of course, people will remember him.

But things are different now.

Because Su Shen is there.

You could even hear the loudest boos from the entire audience.

Even the sounds of boos.

Don't think this is uncivilized or lacks the demeanor of a great power.

In fact, this is how it should be in the field of sports.

Opponents deserve to be treated like opponents.

In the words of Jordan and Kobe—

The loudest boos I receive from my opponents are the greatest sign of respect.

Cheers and boos are complementary in themselves.

If you can withstand this pressure, achieve better results, and create more classic sports moments, then everyone will be generous in giving you applause.

But before such a scene appeared.

Unfortunately, you are my opponent.

And you are my biggest rival.

Naturally, they deserve to be treated like the biggest rival.

Bolt thinks back to the cheers he received here in 08.

Let's look at the boos we received here 15 years ago.

It's truly moving.

He wasn't lamenting about himself.

Rather, it was the change in the strength of the Easterner next to him.

As a professional athlete, he was well aware of why the audience was booing him.

The reason is that they are in direct competition with the strongest athletes in their country.

This change also illustrates that this Easterner has absolutely no ability to threaten his own position of equal competition.

Along the way, they have grown into opponents with whom they can have equal dialogue.

Such a transformation.

This is something I never imagined when I first stepped onto the Bird's Nest in 08.

At that time, if someone told him about his strongest opponent in the future.

It happened when he was not a Black person.

He is a non-Black person without West African ancestry.

He probably thinks this person is talking nonsense.

However, reality is illogical.

It has developed into this state.

You have to admit it, even if you don't want to.

The seventh lane is occupied by Turkish athlete Jake Ali Javi.

The eighth lane is occupied by South African athlete Henrik Bruengis.

The applause for the next few people was much less, just some perfunctory applause.

In fact, whether it's Jack Ali Harvey in lane 7 or the South African athlete in lane 8, their individual skill levels are quite high.

Xavi's personal best and season best time are both 10.03 seconds.

Henrik Bruungis, a South African athlete, has a personal best and season best of 9.97 seconds.

It could even break the 10 mark.

For example, Dao Ge, who is still known as Xiao Dao, now has a time of 9.95 seconds.

Even he doesn't get much attention.

Not to mention the South African athlete with a time of 9.97 seconds.

To put it bluntly, there were two lightning bolts standing directly on the field during this match.

Even Brommel, who ran a season-high of 9.84 seconds.

Excuse me.

Here, at least in this group.

It also received almost no attention.

Don't ask, the answer is just...

What class are you? You're at the same table as Lightning.

Even when people see the group assignments, they already know that the two big Qs in that group are already gone before the competition even starts.

Yang Jian joked, "How about we guess who in this group will advance directly?"

"Is there even a need to guess? This is probably the least suspenseful match. I reckon even those betting companies in Europe and America wouldn't bother offering this betting option." After Liu Xiang finished speaking, the audience, both at the venue and on television, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because this is indeed the least surprising guess.

However, even though there is no suspense in the competition, these two people just need to be there.

As long as we compete together.

That would generate enough exposure and buzz.

The lights seemed to pour down on the two of them in an instant.

Suarez and Bolt exchanged a glance.

"Are you ready to lose, Sue, just like in Lausanne?"

"Hehe." Su Shen wasn't angry and replied in the same tone as Bolt:

“That’s what I wanted to say too, Yussane.”

"Are you ready to lose?"

"Just like in London and Moscow."

I rely on.
