The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2529 Let's win this medal on our own doorstep!

Chapter 2529 Let's win this medal on our own doorstep!
After the women's competition ended, it was the men's turn to begin.

Semifinal Group 1: Zaner Hughes, Nicol Ashmed.

Semifinal Group 2: Xie Zhengye, Justin Gatlin.

Semifinal Group 3: Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake.

Xiao Q: Zhou Bing, Anaso Giovadwana.

The list of those who advanced was displayed again on the big screen.

The audience also snapped out of their reverie about the woman's regret.

Preparing to watch the men's 200-meter race.

China Sports Channel.

"Hello everyone, after the women's 200m finishes, the men's 200m is about to begin. Compared to the women's 200m, the competition in the men's 200m is undoubtedly more intense."

"Of course, if you're talking about dark horses, I think it's almost impossible for a dark horse to emerge in the men's 200 meters."

"The reason is clear to everyone: it's either Blake or Bolt. There's no doubt about that. These two have such a huge gap in ability that no one else has a chance to get close to them."

"I think so too." Liu Xiang followed up honestly: "If there's a chance of an upset in the women's event, I think the chance of an upset in the men's event is less than 1%. So the only medal we can compete for is a bronze medal."

"If we look at the competition for the bronze medal, then the difficulty increases."

"I wonder if the men's 200-meter medal count can be maintained after the women's 200-meter medal defeat."

"It all depends on whether Xie Zhengye can maintain his composure and avoid using underhanded tactics."

"This time it's not Moscow or London. His opponent is his equal, and he's been in top form for the past few years."

"It's no longer young Warren Weir, but the star player of Team USA, Justin Gatlin."

"Let me interject here," Yang Jian said. "Many people may be wondering, since most people only know that Gatlin runs the 100 meters, but in fact, Gatlin started to gradually shift to more 200-meter events last year."

"This can be seen from the frequency with which he participates in competitions."

"He not only broke through to the giant level in the 100 meters and broke the 9.70-second limit, but also made a big upgrade in the 200 meters last year, from a level that couldn't even break 20 seconds, to 19.68 seconds in one go."

"This year is even more terrifying." Yang Jian said this mainly to lower everyone's expectations, so that those who did not know the reason would think that Xie Zhengye was not good enough.

This science popularization must be done well before the competition, which will also cool down everyone's mindless enthusiasm.

To avoid any backlash against the athletes.

Since Liu Xiang, almost every star athlete has received this treatment.

It can only be said that Liu Xiang was far ahead of the curve.

They've paved the way for everyone.

"This year, he even surpassed our athlete Xie Zhengye. During the US Championships, he broke the 19.60-second barrier, raising his time to 19.57 seconds. And the wind speed for that shot was only 0.4 meters per second, which was quite tough."

"In other words, Gatling now has the capability to run under 19.60 seconds."

"Although Xie Zhengye's Pb also broke the Asian record of 19.65 seconds, that was under the conditions of high altitude and wind speed. It is unknown how much chance he would have of winning against Gatling head-on."

"But there's always a chance, after all, Pb alone doesn't mean anything."

"Didn't we win the semifinals?"

Yang Jian, as if telling a joke, quickly brought the topic back: "Moreover, the best thing about players from the Su Shen system is that they can make a comeback when their PB is not as good as their opponents."

"I believe everyone has witnessed this many times before. I hope Xie Zhengye can replicate it this time as well."

"Even if Gatlin's PB is stronger, it doesn't mean he has no chance. After all, he is younger and has a stronger recovery ability. If he is given enough exertion in the semi-finals, I think he still has a good chance to stop Gatlin."

"However, judging from the odds given by our counterparts in the United States, Gatlin's odds are significantly higher than Xie Zhengye's, which means that most people are more optimistic about Gatlin winning this year's bronze medal."

Gatling is indeed ruthless in this regard. Although his dark history cannot be erased, let's put it another way. This guy is known for his self-discipline, technical improvements, and ruthlessness towards himself...

There are very few American athletes who can compare.

This is his strength, ever since he mastered the Jamaican running style...

A breakthrough achieved through a barrage of attacks over 200 meters.

The female athlete improved her time by almost a second, but that was because her original performance was too poor.

Don't you ever think about how difficult it is for men to improve?

The Gatling gun improved by 10 levels in one go; that would be truly devastating.

In an instant, he transformed himself from a 200-meter junior into a medal contender.

Even without Bolt and Blake.

Then we can aim for the gold medal.

Or rather, his ability, if placed in any 200-meter race without Bolt and Blake...

Except for Forrest Johnson.

No one can pose a threat.

They're incredibly powerful.

Therefore, the main focus this year is still the confrontation between Gatling and Xie Zhengye.

Let's see who can seize the opportunity and win this medal.

The rest are just playing house.

This medal is the ultimate key.

Moreover, because of the relationship between Bolt and Blake, with only one medal left, it means that one of them must beat the other.

One person has to take the iron plate home.

Now that they've come this far, neither Gatling nor Xie Zhengye would want to just get an iron medal.

So the two of them were full of tension from the very beginning of the match.

You can understand why there was a tense atmosphere from the very beginning.

It's all because there's a direct conflict of interest.

"Young man, we won't go easy on you in the finals." Gatlin was clearly still upset about losing the golden lane in the semifinals.

Otherwise, my win rate could be at least 10% higher.

His poor path made the difficulty of the course unnecessarily increase.

Fortunately, Gatlin has achieved quite a few successes in public, which gave him some psychological comfort.

Do I need you to give way?

Little did I know that domestic athletes these days are all incredibly sharp-tongued.

I don't know who brought it.

The words used are increasingly hurtful.

Xie Zhengye immediately said:
"The 200-meter track is not a place for Old Deng."

"Your health bar isn't even full yet, and you're already yelling at me? This isn't the Diamond League."

Go back to your 100-meter stretch.

What?
Old Deng? ???

That almost broke Gatling's resolve.

When did I become old?
I'm not even 34 years old yet!!!

"You're not convinced, are you?"

Xie Zhengye said with a smile, "If you hadn't challenged me in this race in the 200-meter semi-finals, that would have been fine. But after we did, do you think you could recover overnight?"

"They really think they're young!"

"You can't even stand up and pedal a tricycle anymore."

Gatling: ...

Gatlin really wanted to yell, "Don't even mention standing up and pedaling a tricycle, I could even stand up and pedal my girlfriend!"

But upon closer reflection, I have indeed started abstaining from sex before competitions recently.

why?

He wasn't like this before.

It's all because of that.

Is this the reason Xie Zhengye mentioned?

I'm getting old.

If you stand up and kick again.

It's really unbearable.

After the two finished speaking, Yang Jian, still seemingly confused, said, "It seems Gatlin and Xie Zhengye have a pretty good relationship; they were exchanging ideas before the match."

"The great friendship between China and the United States is fully demonstrated here."

Ha ha.

If he had known, he probably wouldn't have said that.

Of course, we are still in a honeymoon period between China and the United States.

This type is quite normal.

It's a typical cliché.

As they were talking, the athletes began to enter their respective lanes.

“South African athlete Anaso Jowadewana has not yet broken 20 seconds; he is in lane 1.”

"My career best time was 20.13 seconds, achieved at the Moscow World Championships."

"This player also barely made it into the next round; he almost cried when he didn't make it in the first place."

"However, given his skill level of not being able to open it for 20 seconds, I'm afraid he can't achieve anything significant."

"In lane two, Chinese athlete Zhou Bing, former Asian Championships and Asian Games 200m champion!"

"Although his position has now been taken over by Xie Zhengye, he is still making breakthroughs this year, having already broken the 19.90-second barrier and achieved a best time of 19.89 seconds!"

"It can be considered a peak for Asian athletes."

"However, with this result, it will probably be difficult for him to go further in the finals."

"However, in his own pre-match interview, he said that as long as he can stand on the final stage, that's enough, and he will do his best to show himself."

"Don't leave yourself with regrets."

As Yang Jian spoke, Liu Xiang nodded in agreement: "This kind of athlete has a very clear mind, including his playing style in the semi-finals."

“He knows exactly what he wants to do, so he is not easily trapped by unnecessary thoughts, which is a great ability.”

Little did Liu Xiang know, Zhou Bing couldn't possibly overthink it. This 200-meter battle was far too intense.

I really miss the 200 meters from five or six years ago.

Back then, winning the championship was a piece of cake.

Asia can easily become king.

How is it like now?
Your grades have been consistently improving.

However, his honors and achievements continued to decline.

Of course, this is in comparison to previous results.

Looking at major competitions, he used to be someone who rarely made it into the top tier.

Now at least we can make it to the finals of the competition.

To be able to become one of the top eight in the world.

Enough is enough.

After all, this era still has monsters like Bolt and Brett.

If not, then at least we can try to make it into the top six or top five.

This is for an elite athlete who isn't particularly gifted.

That's the limit he can reach.

He also believes that things are good as they are now in terms of career planning.

I don't have many extravagant desires.

Now, every step forward is a step forward, however small.

Take them down one by one.

I ask for nothing more.

After all, he has been striving for what he wants...

Almost all of them have been achieved.

He just wants to see how far he can go.

Third, Zanell Hughes.

As a 95-born athlete, he is indeed pitifully young, and he still mainly focuses on the 200-meter race.

他的这100米破10，那都是18年以后的事情。在此之前还是200米更有竞争力，毕竟他的200米差一点就打破20秒了。

This year will be the highlight.

It's at least one of the highlights.

He was able to get a time of 20.02 seconds even with a slight headwind, which is already very good for him.

That's already very strong.

If the wind speed is right, it theoretically has the capability to open for 20 seconds.

It doesn't even need a strong wind.

So in this case.

It's normal to prioritize the 200 meters over the 100 meters, since his current 100-meter time is 10.10 seconds, even with a wind of more than 1.5 meters.

This kind of achievement is remarkable in world-class competitions.

They simply don't have much competitiveness.

You should practice the 200-meter dash instead.

Let's see if there's a chance to make a quick buck.

That's what he's thinking now.

And what his coaching team is thinking now.

At least for now, walking 200 meters is still the right decision he made.

However, he is still young and doesn't have much ambition.

They immediately told me to practice hard.

We'll try to eliminate as many as we can.

The fourth way...

Yang Jian cleared his throat and raised his voice, saying, "A Chinese athlete, the bronze medalist in the men's 200 meters at the London Olympics and the Moscow World Championships, and the Asian record holder in the 200 meters..."

"Thank you, Zhengye!!!"

We don't call him Xiao Xie anymore. He's already in his early twenties, so he should be treated and acted like an adult.

This series of titles also signifies that Xie Zhengye has now become...

They can shoulder the responsibility of shaping the fate of athletics in a major nation.

Especially when Su Shen is unable to spare the time.

He is the best 200-meter attacker.

Although Zhou Bing is constantly working hard and making breakthroughs, in terms of innate attributes...

It's still not good enough.

no way.

Competitive sports require a scientific and theoretical approach.

But talent also matters.

If an ordinary person only talks about science and theory, they may actually lose out to those who are talented.

They don't even need to practice much.

Then you can lead.

The premise for discussing science and theory is that the levels of understanding must be roughly the same.

otherwise.

If the gap is too big, then talent is better.

Xie Zhengye was much better in this regard.

His 200-meter speed endurance in the later stages is considered among the best in history.

Of course, they can't compare to monsters like Bolt or Blake.

But apart from the two of them.

He can compete in every segment of the entire later stage.

This is talent.

This is also what Zhou Bing lacks most.

Therefore, although there were two athletes on the field, anyone who knows a little about track and field knows that the one who was truly capable of winning a medal in this competition was the one who actually won.

The person who can lead the Chinese team to the podium and raise the flag.

Only Xie Zhengye.

"Xie Zhengye also broke his own best record this year, setting a new Asian 200-meter record. He is currently the Asian 200-meter athlete with the best chance of winning this medal."

"Watching him walk this way, I really hoped he could win the championship, no, I mean win a medal on his home turf."

Liu Xiang made a blunder, but Yang Jian reacted quickly and immediately followed up with, "Of course, we all sincerely hope that he can win the championship, but the chance is a bit slim, but we all hope that he can do better."

"His main opponent in this match is Gatlin."

"The only thing that can threaten him is Gatling."

"Aside from Bolt and Blake, only Gatlin has a better season record here."

"I hope he can make a difference, defeat strong enemies, and win glory for the country."

Xie Zhengye was quite decisive.

I don't know who she learned it from.

He pounded his chest three times in front of the camera.

Then extend three fingers.

Good guy.

Everyone who watched for 100 meters burst out laughing.

"Look, I'm copying you."

Zhao Haohuan was also overjoyed.
