Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 181 Relay championship and plan to go to the United States

May 5th, Osaka Nagai Land Arena.

At 18:45, the sky in Osaka has been shrouded in night, but the spotlights illuminate the stadium, which can accommodate more than 4 spectators, as bright as day.

In the stadium, Wen Hao was exercising in the pre-run area of ​​the fourth leg of the 4×100 meter relay.

今晚他有两个项目需要参加，一个是18点50分的男子4×100米接力，令一个则是20点30分的男子100米飞人大战。

The interval between the two games is less than 2 hours, but it is not a problem for him.

Moreover, the four main players of the Rindao Neon Relay Team: Naoki Tsukahara, Shingo Suetsugu, Shinji Takahira, and Nobuharu Asahara, all four of them will also participate in the 100-meter or 200-meter races respectively.

Including the Australian relay team across the aisle, their members followed the same process.

On the contrary, on the Chinese men's relay team, only Wenhao needs to participate in individual events later, so the other three members can go all out in the current relay competition without taking into account physical exertion.

The advantage is mine.

Although the organizers of this Osaka Grand Prix also invited some top European and American players to participate, not many actually attended.

In terms of honors and PB in the men's 100-meter event, the "biggest" competitor is Wen Hao's old rival Sean Crawford, but this buddy failed to beat him in several encounters last year.

For example, in the men's 4×100m event that is currently used as a back-up event, the three strongest teams are the Neon team, the Chinese team, and the Australian team, and the rest are local Neon teams.

After the start of the men's 4×100m competition, the Guangdong trio performed very well. Although each of them is a little worse than the Neon team in terms of direct strength, there is no problem in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding.

Even in terms of his performance in this relay race, Wen Yongyi's strength does not seem to be the same as it was in the Asian Games, and there is a clear gap between him and Tsukahara Naoki.

Liang Jiahong is no better than Suxu Shenwu, that's for sure.

What surprised Wen Hao was Su Bingtian, who was guarding the third leg. Not only did he have a tacit understanding of the handover with Liang Jiahong, but his flat running performance in the third leg was not weaker than that of Gao Ping Shenshi.

It makes sense when you think about it. Su Bingtian has evolved ahead of schedule in this time and space. His indoor time of 6 seconds is converted into 58-meter hard strength based on his running method, which is about 10 seconds.

而高平慎士，他的百米PB目前虽然有10秒24，但也只有这一枪表现，作为200米专项选手的他100米常态发挥也就是10秒3x。

Therefore, it is reasonable for Su Bingtian to tie with Gao Ping Shenshi in the third game.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, in order to ensure subsequent performance in individual events, the Neon team did not use their full strength in the relay events.

There is no need to pay too much attention to the reason. Anyway, Wen Hao only knows one thing - the Chinese team will win this time!

When the handover of the third and fourth poles was completed, Wenhao was only less than one position behind Nobuharu Asahara, instead of nearly five positions like in the Asian Games relay finals.

With a gap of less than one body position, Wenhao easily tied it with only 20 meters away. Then he continued to widen the gap and gave Nobuharu Asahara a severe beating.

But in order to save energy for the subsequent 100-meter race, he still chose to let go in the last 20 meters.

最后，中国队以38秒41的成绩率先冲过终点夺冠，霓虹队则是以38秒47的成绩排在第二，第三名的澳大利亚队只跑了38秒95。

This time, the reaction of the neon audience at the scene was exactly the same as the reaction of the Chinese audience at the Doha Asian Games relay finals.

As long as there is a confrontation between China and Japan on the field, it doesn't matter whether they win the championship or not. "The championship can be lost, but China/Neon must win." This is the true thinking of the people of the two countries.

It was the first time he defeated the Neon team in a relay race, but Wen Hao was not very excited because he knew very well what level the Neon relay team had been in the period from 07 to 08.

Especially now that Sutsutsu Shingo has returned to his peak strength, and Tsukahara Naoki has also made great progress compared to the original time and space, Wenhao always feels that the limit of this neon relay team is more than 38 seconds.

However, fortunately, Su Bingtian grew up ahead of schedule.

For some reason, Wen Hao would feel at ease when he was by his side.

An hour later, Wen Hao appeared in the inspection area again. This time he is preparing for the men's 100-meter race. Liu Xiang had already completed the inspection 10 minutes before he arrived. His men's 110-meter hurdles is the third to last track event tonight.

Liu Xiang simply said hello to him and went to the waiting room to prepare. Wen Hao, who was alone in the inspection area, couldn't help but feel bored.

Especially when I saw Suzuki Shengo and his gang helping each other put up number plates, I felt even more uncomfortable.

The chest part is okay, but the back part is really difficult. I looked around and found a fairly good-looking neon girl. Although she didn't speak Japanese, she could do this kind of thing with just a few gestures. Does she understand?

"Hey Vin, need some help?"

Just as he lifted his legs to go over, Sean Crawford walked up to him and "stopped" him, saying hello with a smile.

"I'm worried about this, so thank you Sean." Naturally, Wen Hao wouldn't refute other people's kindness, and handed over the number plate with a smile.

"It's really inconvenient to do this kind of thing alone, so if you don't have teammates or friends around, you can't avoid troublesome other players or staff."

Crawford quickly helped Wen Hao pin the number plate on his back, and then started chatting with him: "Looking at the way you ran the relay before, you seem to be in good condition, so are you confident in breaking the meet record in the 100 meters? ?”

Wen Hao shrugged: "Well, of course I have such thoughts, but you know, this is not easy."

The Osaka Grand Prix men's 100-meter record is 2000 seconds set by Maurice Green in 9, which is just the same as Wen Hao's personal best.

If Wen Hao really breaks this tournament record, it will also mean that he has set a new personal best and an Asian record!

"It is indeed a bit difficult, but now there are countless young people in the United States who are expecting you to continue to create miracles. If you can do it, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"All-American? That's too much. Am I famous in American track and field?"

"Emmm is not actually in the track and field world." Crawford took out his iPhone, clicked on the music player and shook it at Wen Hao: "Have you forgotten this song? It has already won consecutive awards on the B list. Champion for five weeks, so think about how many fans you have now!”

When Crawford said this, Wen Hao understood.

He hasn't paid much attention to entertainment news since winter training. However, under the operation of EMI Records, "We Are Young" officially topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 4 on April 2, and it has now reached the top spot. It’s the fifth week.

Although there is a certain generation gap between culture and sports, the correlation is still very strong in general, especially in the United States, where sports commercialization is highly developed. There are bound to be many fans who started to pay attention to his sprint career because they liked "We Are Young" .

Speaking of which, his schedule for June has not yet been decided, so do you want to take advantage of the popularity of "We Are Young" to go to the United States?

"Hey, Sean."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"If I remember correctly, the New York Grand Prix is ​​on June 6, right?"

"Yes, you remember correctly." After Crawford answered, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Hey, hey, you are going to the New York Grand Prix?!"

"What? Not welcome? Maybe I can also hold a fan meeting. Do you want to come and hear me sing?"

"Oh——! This is really great!" Crawford slapped him on the back excitedly, "Do you know how fucking exciting this song of yours is?!"

Wen Hao snorted and said with some pain: "I didn't know before, but I know now."

"But having said that, you have released this English single now. If you really hold a fan meeting, you won't sing a Chinese song, right?"

"Music is Sean without Borders. What's more, if we really have a fan meeting, there will definitely be many Chinese students or Chinese in the United States."

"Ha, that's right."

"And I can also cover songs, like Michael Johnson."

The two of them were talking and laughing all the way from the inspection area to the waiting room, and Wenhao also decided to include a plan to compete in the United States and hold a fan meeting in his June schedule.
