Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 298 Outbreak
"Ladies and gentlemen, after an hour and a half of waiting, the last event on the first race day of the IAAF Diamond League London Station has finally arrived. It is the men's 100m final!"

In the BBC commentary seat, Tom Hanks is warming up for the upcoming men's [-]-meter final with a passionate tone. Another female commentator, Gabi Logan, also supplements Tom Hanks' words from time to time.

"Tom, we all know you're a fan of Uzi, but your favorite athlete's current world ranking is suppressed by Christian Coleman, and the current world best performance also belongs to Coleman .”

The time has come to July 7th, and the Diamond League has come to the 20th station of this year—London station. The IAAF points ranking will be refreshed every other week, and new changes have taken place in the world ranking.

So far, the top six on the men's 100m leaderboard are:

1. Christian Coleman, 1457 points;
2. Wu Ziyi, 1444 points,
3. Justin Gatlin, 1372 points,
4. Su Bingtian, 1364 points,
5. Rhys Prescod, 1339,

6. Noah Lyles, 1335 points.

The world's best result is Coleman's 9 seconds run at Stanford in the Diamond League. After Wu Ziyi participated in the 81-meter race in Rome, he has participated in two 200-meter races: IAAF Ostrava Challenge Tournament, Diamond League Lausanne station.

Wu Ziyi did not give full play in these two games. Even in Lausanne against Justin Gatlin who no longer pretended to be dead, Wu Ziyi hid his strength well and suppressed the score to 9 seconds.

Moreover, the thousandth percentile scores were so close that the audience and commentators at the scene thought for a moment that Wu Ziyi might have lost the game. Wu Ziyi's score was 9.909, and Gatling's score was 9.911. The difference was only two thousandths of a second.

And because Ostrava is an IAAF challenge event, the men's 100 event in the Diamond League Lausanne station is a non-diamond event, so this led to Wu Ziyi's average points in 5 games being opened by Coleman by 13 points.

Although ridiculed by his colleagues, Tom Hanks was not affected at all, but said confidently: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the world ranking does not mean the attribution of honor. Just like the men's 2015m world ranking in 100 The only one is Justin Gatlin, but the world champion is Usain Bolt, even though Uzi is slightly behind Coleman in the ranking, I still firmly believe that he is the strongest!"

Gabriel Logan knew that she could not "convince" this fanatical fan of the Uzi, so the live broadcast came to the player introduction segment, and she took the opportunity to take over the segment: "Okay, now what we see is today's men's 100-meter race The 9 contestants in the final—”

"Track 1, from Nihong, Koike Yuki, who ran a personal best of 10 seconds this season, and his time in the preliminaries was 04 seconds."

"Track 2, Yohan Blake, the famous Jamaican player ran another 9 seconds this season. Although he is not at the peak, he can still stand on the world's top arena."

"In the third track, Su Bingtian, a Chinese athlete who is very popular in Europe. His best time of the season was 3 seconds. In the preliminaries, he ran 9 seconds, and he seemed very comfortable."

"On the 4th track, Akani Sibini, ranked 9th in the world, his best time this season is 9 seconds 95, but in fact he ran 9 seconds 92 last month, only due to equipment problems , the results are still being verified.”

"Track 5, Gianne Hughes, he ran 9 seconds in the preliminaries an hour and a half ago, refreshing his best time of the season. He is also the only player who ran under 96 seconds in the preliminaries."

"Track 6, the popularity in the London Bowl is higher than that of Hughes, a local player. At present, he is the only one who can do it. He is from China—Wu Ziyi!"

"In track 7, Andre de Grasse, the Canadian player who returned from injury this year, ran 10 seconds in the preliminaries, which is also his best result of the season."

"Track 8, this is a player from Antigua and Barbuda, CJ Green, is the second player on the field other than Koike Yuki who failed to break 10 seconds in PB."

"Rail 9, familiar smile, Adam Gemilli."

Wu Ziyi stood on the runway. When the host read his name, he just smiled and reached out to greet the audience. He didn't do any strange movements. This is also his normal behavior this year.

欢呼与掌声还算热烈，但比起去年的狂热场景还是弱了一些，毕竟今年他的表现并不算太好，目前他的三枪成绩分别是9秒82、9秒94、9秒91，而科尔曼则是9秒86、9秒85、9秒81。

Even the 9, 91, and 9 seconds of Justin Trinh are not much weaker than him. Wu Ziyi ranked second in the standings thanks to the two shots in Jakarta and Brussels last year. Only from this year's Judging from the performance of the 87-meter event, his status has obviously been greatly challenged.

“On your marks~”

After the on-site host introduced the 9 players on the field, the starter immediately issued instructions to remind the players to take their positions.

Wu Ziyi walked forward with a relaxed expression, and prepared step by step. He didn't want to hide anything from today's shot. Although he didn't care about those "Uzis don't walk" remarks, before the game, Janne Hughes A sentence he said in an interview with the BBC angered him.

"If 9 seconds 91 can become the world's number one, then so can I."

Listen, what a confident speech, Wu Ziyi admires his courage, because even Coleman was interviewed by the media after being ranked No. [-] in the world, and he was not so outrageous:

"I did surpass him in the points ranking, but it doesn't make much sense to discuss these before the World Championships. The title of world No. [-] is best waited until I beat him in the World Championships. If there is no gold medal, it will be Not really the number one in the world!"

People at least rank first in the world in terms of points, what is your number one?

If you want to prove yourself, you can't rely on words alone. It is a good thing to have confidence, but an arrogant person is destined not to become a top powerhouse. Wu Ziyi will use this shot to let Janne Hughes understand this truth.

"Set—!"

"boom--!!"

A muffled gunshot sounded behind the players, followed by the players' uniform starting movements, kicking and stretching, swinging arms, and the nine players started suddenly from their respective starting blocks.

The originally quiet audience came back to their senses with the gunshot, cheers and cheers in various languages ​​began to reverberate in the stadium, and the crowd instantly turned into a sea of ​​jubilation.

Four seconds after the gunshot, there was a neat exclamation from the auditorium. Tom Hanks in the commentary seat slapped his thigh suddenly, and the whole person jumped up from his seat.

4 seconds, on the 30-meter field, it means that the players have just passed the [-]-meter position, and some athletes with unique skills have not even started to look up, but at this moment, there is a very prominent figure on the runway in the London Bowl, making the whole world The audience couldn't help but exclaim for him.

Tom Hanks was immediately elated, and he spoke like a lotus flower: "Red Lightning is no longer silent. He has established a lead in just 30 meters. Even Su Bingtian failed to keep up with him in the future!"

"60 meters, he has completely destroyed Gianne Hughes' pre-match rhetoric, and rushed to the finish line with extreme speed!"

"Uzi, 9-7-8! Although he failed to break the 9 race record he set here last year, a new world best time was born! Coleman, ready to face the world champion in Doha ?!"

Behind the key point, reporters from various media who had been squatting for a long time seemed to smell the bloody great white shark, and they let go and followed Wu Ziyi, walking like flying with a heavy camera on their shoulders.

Wu Ziyi slowly slowed down. Under the lens of dozens of cameras, he just smiled and raised his right index finger to his lips, which was self-evident and clear at a glance.

From now on, doubts that lasted only one month will begin to dissipate with the results displayed on the big screen.

Wind speed: (+0.5m/s)

1 Wu Ziyi 9.78 WL/SB
2 Su Bingtian 9.92 SB
3 Arcani Sibini 9.93 SB
4 Janne Hughes 9.95 SB
5 Yohan Blake 9.97
6 Koike Yuki 9.98 PB
7 Andre de Grasse 9.99 SB
8 Adam Gemilli 10.04 SB
9 CJ Green 10.19
"Uzi, take WL back into your hands again, how do you feel at this moment?"

"Although it is WL, I am a little unhappy. After all, I failed to break the race record I set last year. Of course, 9 seconds is indeed difficult. I remember that I ran the men's 70m race record in London in 200. , how much is it?"

"19 seconds 73!"

"Aha, do you want to predict how much I can improve him?"
