Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 173 100-meter battle

Although the opening ceremony was held on August 8, the track and field competition at the Bird's Nest Stadium did not officially start until August 8.

On August 8th, the Bird's Nest Stadium, which can accommodate more than 15 people, was packed with people.

At 8:30 in the morning, the preliminaries of women's heptathlon, hammer throw and other competitions began one after another. By 9:30, these competitions were all over. A bright contestant appeared.

Then began the men's 100-meter preliminaries. The audience became more energetic, some people's eyes began to light up, and the atmosphere on the scene changed from the previous calm to excitement.

A total of 100 people participated in the men's 80m competition, and were divided into 10 preliminaries. The top three in the group directly entered the semi-finals, and the remaining 10 places were filled according to the results.

The whole game is divided into four shots, which are preliminaries, semi-finals, semi-finals, and finals.

At 9:45, the men's 100-meter preliminaries will begin.

The contestants in the first group of preliminaries began to walk out of the tunnel, and the cheers on the field suddenly sounded.

Because in this group, there is a familiar face, Asafa Powell, the top men's 100m player who has been in love with Su Feng for two years.

In this regard, Powell was somewhat expected, but also a little surprised.

It is expected because he has accepted three advertisements in China over the years, which are worth a lot of money. The advertisers are not philanthropists, and they must choose him because they can make a profit. The so-called profit here is naturally popularity.

Therefore, he knew that he was well-known in China, but unexpectedly, he did not expect the Chinese audience to be so friendly, and he could enjoy so much applause as a foreigner.

In fact, Powell was right and wrong.

As Su Feng's main opponent, the common people in the country have a high awareness of him, but he is not the only one.

The other contestants who can compete with Su Feng are well recognized in the country. The reason for their popularity is not themselves, but because they are Su Feng's opponents.

Just like Liu Yuxiang's opponent in the previous life, even though Bolt was out in the 100-meter race, not many people knew about him before he ran 9 seconds.

But now, Su Feng is stronger than Liu Yuxiang. Not only has he hardly lost since 04, but he has also broken the world record many times. He even entered 9 seconds before Bolt. The current world record is still maintained by Su Feng. Second 70!

All of these make the Chinese audience's expectations for the 100-meter race extremely high, so as long as they recognize a person, enthusiasm will naturally come up.

Powell had a straight face at this time, except that he could see that he was smiling when interacting with the audience, and there was no other expression.

However, there were no other strong players in this group except him. Powell gained the advantage from the start, and started to release water in the last ten meters, and won the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds.

This is also a deliberate arrangement by the organizing committee. In the first round, some masters were separated to prevent them from meeting in advance. This is also a way to add suspense to the competition.

But doing so is not against the rules. After all, athletes still use their grades to speak. As long as they have good grades, they will be able to advance.

Among the eight players in the second group, there is still the famous player familiar to the Chinese people, Tyson Gay.A player who was once thought to be able to compete with Su Feng Powell.However, after the rise of Bolt and the improvement of Su Feng's performance, this statement gradually disappeared.

But Tyson Gay is still very famous in China. Even though there is a face blindness between races, a large number of Chinese people still recognized him and gave him warm cheers.

Tyson Gay also lived up to expectations and also won the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds and advanced to the semi-finals.

When he got the promotion qualification, the crowd was happier than him.Although everyone must hope that Su Feng will win the championship in the end, if a strong opponent is eliminated early, it will undoubtedly reduce the enjoyment and suspense of the game, so they hope that all these famous players will advance.

But in the third group, when they saw Bolt on the stage, the audience's reaction was a bit divided.

Some people hope that Bolt will advance and meet Su Feng all the way to the final to see the contest between the two flying men.

But the other part doesn't want Bolt to win. After all, Bolt's threat is too great. Under normal performance, he is Su Feng's strongest opponent, and he is also an opponent that he is not sure of defeating. If he can end early, Su Feng The gold medal of the wind is more stable.

But the final result did not exceed everyone's expectations. Although it did not meet some people's complicated hopes, Bolt still won the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds and advanced to the semi-finals as expected.

The strongest athlete in the fourth group of preliminaries was Jamaica's Carter, the main player of the Jamaican 4×100m relay team. In the original world, he did not qualify for the Olympic 100m, but this time he did.

In the end, he won the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds and successfully advanced.

The fifth group, the sixth group, the seventh group, the eighth group.

There were no upsets in four consecutive groups.

And when the ninth group of contestants appeared, the audience on the field began to cheer up, Su Feng, it was Su Feng who came out.

"Su Feng, come on."

"Su Feng, come on."

The voices of tens of thousands of people gradually found the same rhythm, and the voice of "Su Feng, come on" resounded through the audience.

Su Feng's terrifying popularity has been proven again at this moment.

Although it was only the preliminaries, it still couldn't stop the audience's enthusiasm for Su Feng.

"Su Feng, come on!" Su Feng came to the field wearing a long-sleeved Chinese team uniform, and everyone else basically wore long-sleeved clothes. Cause body muscle stiffness or cold.

Athletes who can participate in the Olympics are naturally not prone to colds, but slight muscle stiffness is unavoidable for them.

Although it is not a problem at all in normal times, it is a big problem when a strong power is output during a game.

So this approach is what a mature athlete would do.

At this time, Su Feng had just arrived at the starting line and was about to take off his clothes. The staff behind the starting line suddenly said this to him, but then shut up. Obviously this is not in compliance with the rules, and it may affect the performance of the athletes .

But Su Feng didn't care, smiled at the other party, whispered the words "Come on", and then naturally began to take off his long clothes to make the final preparations.

These are volunteers, not professional referees, so they can't help themselves to do so, but it doesn't affect Su Feng.

After finishing the final exercise, the game began under the eyes of everyone.

Su Feng started running smoothly. Even though the Cuban and Dutch athletes next to him tried their best, Su Feng took the lead easily and freely. He started to let go directly at the last 20 meters, and finally won the entry with a time of 10 seconds. Tickets for the rematch.

"Su Feng, Su Feng, Su Feng" Seeing that Su Feng had won the competition, even though it was only the preliminaries, the audience roared impatiently. Su Feng waved to the audience around him, then nodded, and then returned corridor.

This game is just the beginning.
