Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 112 What will happen if he goes all out?
  August 8, 15:17.

The second half of the schedule is already halfway through, but there is not much good news coming from the Chaoyang Sports Center.

In the just-concluded women's shot put event, Chinese players Liu Yingfan and Li Li ranked fifth and sixth respectively, missing out on medals.

Players in the women's 400 meters, women's hammer throw, women's javelin, men's long jump, men's high jump and other events have all advanced to the next round, but whether they can win medals will not be revealed until tomorrow.

In the women's 100-meter event, Wen Hao's fellow Guangxi native Liang Qiujing only ran 11 seconds and stopped in the preliminaries.

The female hooligan Cheng Jue is indeed very strong. In the 5th group of preliminaries, she took advantage of the +1.1m/s tailwind and ran 11 seconds, setting a new personal best time and advancing to the semi-finals as the second place in the group.

Next, it’s the men’s 100m semifinals!
  "The first shot of the semi-final group, let us pay attention to Liang Jiahong's performance. 』

"Snapped--!"

"Let the game begin!" 』

"This time, Liang Jiahong's start was smoother, and Canadian player Justin Warner's start acceleration was also very good. The two were neck and neck!" 』

"Looking at the decisive battle in the later stages, the two men are still inextricably fighting each other, and Britain's Wade Bennett is also chasing after him with all his strength! 』

"10 seconds 36. In the end, Justin Warner was slightly better and crossed the finish line first. Liang Jiahong came in second with a slight difference."

The competition in the first group of the semi-finals can be said to be very fierce.

比赛风速-0.5m/s，小组头名贾斯汀·华纳10秒36，小组第二梁佳宏10秒37，小组第三韦德·贝内特10秒39。

This time, in addition to continuing to face his old rival Wade Bennett in the group stage, Liang Jiahong also met Canadian youth championship champion Justin Warner.

Wen Hao had a slight impression of Justin Warner. Before Glasser, Aaron Brown and others grew up, he was once the mainstay of the Canadian relay team.

At the 15 Yanjing World Championships, due to a foul in the handover of the US team, the Chinese team was able to supplement the silver medal, while Justin Warner's Canadian team was also able to supplement the bronze medal.

This person's career level didn't seem to be very high. He was a third-rate player who was in the first round of the World Series. After Glasser waited for the new generation to grow up, he retired at the speed of light.

Although he ranked second, Liang Jiahong advanced to the finals.
-
  0.5m/s风速下的10秒37，硬实力和他在上午跑出的10秒29（+1.0m/s）相同，可见他的确是拼尽全力了。

In the second group, the results of the top three were slightly worse than those of the first group.

比赛风速同样是-0.5m/s，英国选手哈里·阿金斯10秒38排名第一，牙买加选手雷瓦尔多·罗斯10秒45排在第二，特立尼达和多巴哥选手凯斯顿·布莱德曼10秒46排在第三。

If it weren't for what happened on the morning when the Jamaican team arrived, Wen Hao would have had no impression of this player named Revaldo Rose. He had never heard of this person in his previous life.

British athlete Harry Adkins is quite famous, but not because of his strength, but because of his strong muscles. He is ridiculed as the most fit sprinter and the fastest among bodybuilders. .

In addition to Harry Akins, Keston Bradman is also a player worth noting.

In the field of sprinting, although Trinidad and Tobago is not as well-known as Jamaica, their relay team is also very strong.

The most outstanding figure among them is undoubtedly Richard Thompson. He won the silver medal in the men's 100 meters at the Yanjing Olympics, with a personal best time of 9 seconds. As of 82, he is still ranked among the top 2023 in human history.

Keston Bradman is much less well-known, but he has also run 9 seconds twice. In terms of strength alone, regardless of performance in competitions, he can be ranked among the best in the world.

However, judging from today's performance, Keston Bradman's potential is far from being developed, and he can only be regarded as second-rate among young players.

Outside the waiting room, Wen Hao, who was waiting in line to enter, suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure.

A black athlete, taller than him and slightly thinner, looked ordinary.

But Wen Hao soon recognized his identity - the future king of the 800 meters, the "invincible" David Rudisha!
  He originally thought that participating in this World Youth Championship would only be top-notch players like Keston Bradman, but who would have thought that he would meet David Rudisha.

However, he was surprised. Wen Hao did not say hello to him. After all, he was about to appear in the competition, and why was he, a sprinter, talking to someone else's long-distance runner?

"Let's take a look at the situation in the third group of the men's 100m semi-finals. Wen Hao, whom everyone has been waiting for for a long time, finally appeared. 』

In the live broadcast, Wen Hao, who was walking out of the athletes' tunnel, waved to the audience and immediately received an enthusiastic response.

"The audience at the scene expressed a warm welcome to Wen Hao's arrival. We also hope that Wen Hao will perform well in the later games and successfully advance to the finals tomorrow night. 』

"Before starting the race, the players must make certain adjustments to the starting block and then conduct a test run. 』

"I believe this is the first time for many viewers in front of the TV to see this picture, because when we used to do live broadcasts or broadcasts, we would cut the picture to other competitions at this time. 』

The implication is that even if it is just showing such preparation scenes, the ratings will be higher than cutting to other competition events.

After all, for most TV viewers, let alone the World Youth Championship, even the World Championships, how many people can actually name them?
  Lane 1, Latvia, Ronalds ARJS.

Lane 2, Afghanistan, Miklós SZEBENY. Lane 3, USA, Willie Perry.

Lane 4, Jamaica, Yohan Blake.

Lane 5, China, Wen Hao.

Lane 6, Nigeria, Joseph Obina.

Lane 7, Germany, Christian Blum.

Lane 8, Australia, Aaron Rogge.

The eight runners lined up together in the starting preparation area, and every player who was introduced received polite applause from the audience.

In terms of etiquette, domestic audiences are still very good at it.

Of course, when Wen Hao was introduced, the cheers and applause at the scene were naturally overwhelming compared to other contestants, and this is as it should be.

"On your marks!"

When it comes to the international arena, the starting slogan is naturally English.

After the order was given, Wen Hao walked forward expressionlessly and completed the squatting preparation unhurriedly.

It is not difficult for him to advance to the semi-finals. He only needs to run at his own pace, use about 90% of his strength in the future, and then consider whether to let go to save energy after confirming his advantage.

However, God was obviously not happy with his perfunctory attitude, and suddenly the wind blew in his face.

"Set——"

"Snapped--!"

When the starting gun sounded, Wen Hao's starting reaction was slightly slower, only 0.183 seconds.

This is a sign of not being active in the game. After all, let alone his opponent in the semifinals, even in the finals, it is estimated that no one can put enough pressure on him.

Of course, in addition to this, it is also for insurance reasons to try to avoid a false start.

Although the starting reaction is not very fast, Wenhao's explosive ability and starting skills far exceed those of his peers, which still gives him an advantage in the start-up acceleration phase.

I saw him rushing out like a beast out of the cage. After three steps, he had a clear lead. When he reached the 10-meter position, he was at least half a body ahead of the other players!

Blake had already anticipated what might happen in the semi-finals, but when Wenhao really showed his terrifying ability to start and accelerate on his own path, he truly realized the oppression of world-class sprinters. feel!

fast!
  too fast!
  When the technical transition was gradually completed, Yohan Blake could clearly see that Wen Hao's every step was faster and longer than him.

After each blink, he could feel that Wen Hao had further distanced him compared to the last blink.

After 30 meters, Wen Hao, who entered the mid-running stage, whipped, stretched, and scraped the ground with his legs more and more frequently, as if he was stepping on hot wheels.

After 50 meters, Wen Hao entered the maximum speed range and continued to expand his lead.

At this moment, a sense of powerlessness suddenly brewed in Blake's heart, because he clearly felt that he had tried his best, but he still could only watch Wen Hao widen the gap.

During the entire 2006 season in this game, except for one game in March that he lost due to poor performance, he never lost in any other game.

But now he found that the gap between himself and Wen Hao could no longer be described as "lack of defeat", but like white clouds in the sky and yellow mud on the ground.

After a while, Blake saw Wen Hao, who was far ahead in front of him. He turned his head and seemed to be observing the positions of the players on the field.

Then, just as he expected, Wen Hao slowed down his frequency and stride, and crossed the finish line in a very relaxed manner.

And players like him, Joseph Obina, and Aaron Rogge, even if they have masks of pain on their faces, their speed can't even match Wen Hao's speed.

Is the gap really that big?

After the semi-finals, Yohan Blake was in a daze. Even when he heard the competition broadcast announcing that he had directly advanced to the finals as the second place in the group, he was not happy at all.

He raised his head and looked at the big screen in the stadium. The first line of the score sheet clearly displayed:

1——China——Wen Hao——10.11 CR
  CR - Championships Record - Championship record.

Even if he doesn't use his full strength, he can easily break the World Youth Championship record. If he goes all out, what kind of results will he achieve?

　I'm not in a good state today. I originally wanted to record the finals directly, but the weather has changed a bit too frequently in the past two days. It was still humid in the morning, and the wind started to blow in the afternoon. Going out for a meal hurt my head. They all fainted from the cold
