Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 233 Prophecy Award Presentation
Ronnie Baker watched the men's [-]-meter final in the athletes' village. His first World Series was stopped in the semi-finals, and his trip to the World Championships also came to an end. He plans to buy a plane ticket tomorrow Back to the mold country.

Although he is No.3 in the National Championships, he is not a member of the Mold Country Relay Team. Not only is he not, but even Christopher Belcher, No.4 in the US Championships, was not selected for the 4×100-meter relay team.

The coaches seem to be more convinced that Mike Rogers, an "experienced" veteran who has played for the United States for many years, can run the first bat well, and neither he nor Belcher was chosen for the third bat, but Jalen Bacon and Bee Jay -plum.

"Maybe I'm really not strong enough?" Ronnie Baker looked in the mirror and questioned himself.

"No! Listen, Ronnie Baker! Your time is 10 seconds, and apart from the eight finalists, only Cordival's Mette and Anglia's Prescord are ahead of you. Your diamond points Already ranked in the top eight, you can participate in the finals in Zurich, you are already very strong!"

Ronnie Baker yelled at the mirror, slammed his right fist on the wall, and the veins on his forehead popped. Now he looks like a beast.

"But it's not strong enough." Ronnie Baker sighed, put on a towel and walked out of the bathroom, saying to himself: "This year only Zurich is left, why not set a small goal for next year? Run into 10 times 10 times a season." How about a second? In addition, improve your personal best time to less than 9 seconds? Huh~ What a good idea, a good plan!"

********
Noah Lyles is in a different situation than Ronnie Baker, and while he doesn't hang out with Isiah Young or Amir Webb in the men's 200, he does have brothers Spielmon and Tyson - Guy accompanied.

Spymon and Tyson Gay drank wine, and Lyles was drooling, but he was going to participate in the men's 200-meter preliminaries in two days, and he must not touch alcohol at this time.

"Well, there is no doubt that the current sprint field is completely dominated by young people." Tyson Gay shook the wine glass in his hand, and then poured the remaining wine in the glass into his stomach.

Tyson Gay's words were not a joke, and both Spilmon and Lyles knew it very well.

Although the runner-up Gatlin and the third runner-up Bolt in the men's 30-meter final are both older athletes over 89 years old, but apart from them, only Yohan Blake and Su Bingtian are 93 years old, and the oldest after that is Xie Zhenye of China, in [-].

"In the 100 meters, there are still veterans who stand on the final stage and even compete for medals, but in the 200 meters." Spiemon looked at Lyles, counted his fingers and read to Tyson Gay one by one: "This little guy will not Having said that, it is unreasonable for Uzi not to enter the final. Both Isiah Young and Amir Webber have the ability to enter the final. Van Niekerk from South Africa and Jerem Richard from Trinidad and Tobago Uzi’s form is also very good this year. Uzi’s teammate Xie, he has run into the final of the 100-meter, so it’s not too much to enter the final of the 200-meter?”

Tyson Gay nodded every time Spymon uttered a name. It seems that he also recognized that these people have the ability to enter the 200-meter final, and these people, without exception, were born after 1990, "7 one, what else?"

"The last one. How about France's Christophe Lemaitre? Although he is also a veteran, he was born in 1990. He was No.4 in the Rio Olympics last year. It is not easy to reach the final ?”

The two seniors are crazy about the 200-meter event that has not yet started, but Lyles's attention is now completely on the TV. Seeing Wu Ziyi wearing the national flag and honoring the audience, there is only one thought in his heart: "100! ! Labor and management have to run 100!!"

********
The men's 100-meter award ceremony was not held on the same day. After all, it was already 21:50 after the race, not to mention Bolt's retirement detour ceremony, and everything ended long after 22:[-].

On the second day, Wu Ziyi rarely slept until 9:[-] in the morning. After breakfast, he moved his body as usual. The main content of today was physical therapy and massage, and then he went to the London Bowl to accept the award at night.

伦-敦时间8月6日晚19点55分，男子400米半决赛刚刚结束不久，吴子义在200米项目最大对手之一的南非名将范尼凯克在第二组以44秒22的成绩晋级决赛。

今年是范尼凯克最后的辉煌，去年的他以43秒03的神迹打破了迈克尔-约翰逊保持了17年的男子400米世界纪录。而且除了主项的400米之外，他还两次在100米比赛中跑进过10秒（9.98，+1.5m/s；9.94，+0.9m/s），两次在200米比赛中跑进过20秒（19.90，+0.5m/s；19.84，+1.2m/s）。

This is undoubtedly the Quanqi King of the men's sprint. Frankly speaking, if Wu Ziyi is asked to change the 400-meter event, he may not be able to run under 44 seconds.

Wu Ziyi left the auditorium after watching the men's 400-meter race in the second group. At 20:10, the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals will be held. It is impossible for Wu Ziyi to go after the 400-meter race is completely over. Very impolite.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Bolt and Gatlin had already arrived. Before Wu Ziyi arrived, the two chatted awkwardly from time to time to relieve the atmosphere. Now they are looking forward to the savior.

Wu Ziyi coaxed him left and right, and finally eased the awkward atmosphere.

The relationship between Wu Ziyi and them is very special, not to mention Bolt, after all, the good relationship between them is widely known by the outside world.

On the contrary, the development of the relationship between Gatlin and Wu Ziyi is a bit strange. In 2015, because of his love for China, Gatlin was very friendly to this young sprinter, even if he won him in the 200-meter World Championships, Gatlin He didn't turn his face away either.

But in 2016, after Wu Ziyi defeated Gatlin twice in the Diamond League, the relationship between the two reached a freezing point. During the Olympics, the two didn't even say hello.

Perhaps Gatlin's victory over Bolt yesterday relieved Gatlin of a knot, or he has realized that he is incapable of competing with Wu Ziyi, so now he is friendly to Wu Ziyi again.

In the interviews he received yesterday and today, Gatlin expressed his appreciation to Wu Ziyi more than once, and even said in an interview with CCTV that "China should be very fortunate to have Uzi".

The three of them lined up and followed the staff into the stadium. The London Bowl was brightly lit, and the audience in the stadium quickly spotted them, and cheers came from all directions.

Tonight's attendance rate is not high. Compared with last night's hard to find a ticket, now Wu Ziyi can see a lot of vacant seats at a glance, which shows that there is a gap in the popularity of other sports compared to the men's [-] meters.

With fewer audiences, it can highlight those lovely people who gather together and hold high the five-star red flag. Among them are loyal fans who traveled thousands of miles from China to support Chinese athletes, overseas Chinese living in Europe and America, and students studying in the West. , there are overseas Chinese working here
Wu Ziyi stood on the highest podium of his side wearing a red national team uniform, and asked Sebastian Coe, then president of the IAAF, to wear the heavy gold medal around his neck. The sound of the audience shouting his name came from the ear.

Since the summer of 2012, Wu Ziyi has spent five years, and in a blink of an eye he has become the new king of men's [-] meters.

Recalling that summer, he re-entered the world with the image of Usain Bolt winning the championship in London, and he continued to choose this path that led his previous life to despair without hesitation.

"Rise, people who do not want to be slaves"

The majestic melody sounded, and thousands of Chinese descendants in the stadium gathered into a torrent with passionate singing, making the iron-blooded and majestic "March of the Volunteers" resound in every corner of the London Olympic Stadium.

This is the first time that the Chinese national anthem is played in this World Championships, but it will not be the last time, and Wu Ziyi is destined not to be the only Chinese athlete who makes the "March of the Volunteers" sound at the London-Dunwan Bowl.
