Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 216 Regret is the normal state of youth

"Set——"

"Snapped--!"

With the sound of a gunshot, the fourth group competition of the men's 100m rematch of the Osaka World Championships officially started!
In this shot, Wen Hao's start was obviously much more attentive than in the morning's preliminaries.

As the rounds of the competition progressed, the competition among the players became more and more intense. In order to preview the semi-finals and finals tomorrow night, he was also preparing to mobilize more than 80% of his state to deal with this rematch.

He was ranked in the first echelon from the start. After 30 meters and entering the mid-running stage, he was already clearly ahead of his opponents on the field.

But after all, he still had reservations, so when the players on the field entered the top speed state, he did not continue to widen the gap, but he still suppressed the front steadily.

Behind him are Neon player Naoki Tsukahara in lane 3, British player Craig Pickering in lane 4, and Mark Burns of Trinidad and Tobago in lane 7. The three of them all looked anxious as if you won't let me, and I won't let you.

Before the start of the fourth group of the semi-finals, the qualifying line for supplementary promotion has been fixed at 10 seconds. This is a situation that has never happened in previous World Championships and even the Olympics!

For them, the time of 10 seconds and 21 seconds is not something they can easily run, not to mention their fierce competition, which is still under the circumstances where Wen Hao has secured a place in the group promotion.

In the end, Wen Hao was still the first to cross the finish line without any suspense, with a score of 10.03 (-0.3m/s).

In fact, as long as he exerts a little more effort, it will be very easy for him to run within 10 seconds, but - it's not necessary.

I can save more physical energy.

The second place in this group is Trinidad and Tobago's Mark Burns. He relied on his speed endurance in the last 20 meters to complete the victory, with a time of 10 seconds.

The third place was Neon host player Naoki Tsukahara, with a time of 10 seconds. He narrowly missed the opportunity to directly advance to the semi-finals, and also set a new record for his season best.

The fourth place is British player Craig Pickering. He is an indoor 60-meter master. His speed and endurance in the back range are not his strong point, so the gap in the latter range is slightly widened, but the time is still 10 seconds.

At this point, the men's 100m semi-finals list has also been announced.

第一组：阿萨法·鲍威尔（牙买加）9秒99，德里克·阿特金斯（巴哈马）10秒02，奥索夫尼卡尔（斯洛文尼亚）10秒13；

第二组：泰森·盖伊（美国）10秒06，马龙·德沃尼什（英国）10秒13，法苏巴（尼日利亚）10秒17；

第三组：马尔蒂纳（安地列斯）10秒08，马克·刘易斯（英国）10秒15，内斯塔·卡特（牙买加）10秒19；

第四组：文浩（中国）10秒03，马克·伯恩斯（特多巴）10秒15，冢原直贵（霓虹）10秒17。

递补晋级的四名选手及成绩分别是：朝原宣治（霓虹）10秒15，胡恺（中国）10秒20，安森·亨利（加拿大）10秒20，克雷格·皮克林（英国）10秒20。

On the sidelines of the competition, after seeing the results of the fourth group released, Lao Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, had regrets written all over his face.

3个10秒20的成绩不论怎么排，都轮不到他这个10秒21插队进去。

What a pity, the difference is only 0.01 seconds!
"Alas" Lao Yi sighed in frustration, lowered his head and left quickly.

Wen Hao naturally saw this scene and wanted to follow him to comfort him, but the reporters on both sides of the passage would not "let him go" so easily.

"Contestant Wen Hao, congratulations on successfully advancing to the semi-finals. Do you have any thoughts on Powell's time of 9 seconds?"

"Wenjun, both Powell and Guy are full of praise for the new "double-layer paving" technology used on the Changju Land Arena runway. What do you think of this? "

"The weather in Osaka is very hot. Will such temperature conditions affect your performance?"

"Tyson Gay said that the outcome of the 200-meter flying contest is unclear, but the 4-meter and 100×-meter relay will definitely be his and the US team's world. Do you agree with this?"

"."

After simply answering a few reporters' questions, Wen Hao ignored the media that he didn't "take care of" and waved goodbye with a smile.

But the question from the NBC reporter just now really interested him.

In the eyes of the outside world, especially relevant experts, the performance gap between him, Powell, and Gay in the 100-meter event is actually quite small.

Therefore, no one can give an accurate answer to the final result of the 100-meter final until the last moment.

But in the 200-meter event, public opinion is basically one-sided.

At the U.S. Championships two months before the World Championships, Tyson Gay ran a time of 19 seconds and became the second person in history. Even world record holder Michael Johnson praised him and felt that He is the last person in the track and field who has the last chance to break the world record of 62 seconds.

In addition to 19 seconds, Tyson Gay also ran 62 seconds four times.
19秒68（2006斯图加特世界田径决赛）、19秒70（2006洛桑大奖赛）、19秒78（2007洛桑大奖赛）、19秒79（2007黄金联赛布鲁塞尔站）。

With such a stable and excellent performance, it is no exaggeration to call him the "King of the 200m World" in the "post-Johnson era".

In contrast, Wenhao is well-known in the sports field, mainly for his continued amazing performance in the 100-meter event.

From last year's super wind speed of 9 seconds at the Athens Grand Prix, to becoming the first Asian athlete to break the legal wind speed of 87 seconds at the London Grand Prix, to becoming the World Youth Championship and Asian Games champion.
In just two years, he has become a world record holder and has become the "fastest man" in the world.

In addition to his amazing achievements in the 100-meter event, he is also very popular in the field of pop music, so the 200-meter event, which he rarely participates in, is naturally ignored by the outside world.

不过就算把他的200米项目成绩列出来，到目前为止文浩也只有三枪成绩是在20秒以内而已，燕京世青赛的19秒97、多哈亚运会的19秒88、尤金普雷方丹经典赛的19秒82。

Although some experts have indeed said that being able to run 2.3 seconds under -19m/s headwind conditions means that Wenhao's ability in the 82-meter event is not inferior to Tyson Gay.

But no matter what, hasn't he yet run a time that is comparable to Tyson Gay?
Even Usain Bolt of Jamaica is ahead of him in terms of personal best time, and there is also Spearmon, a top player who has run 19 seconds.

If you can get the sign, you will be successful!
After today's game, Wen Hao did not stay at the stadium for long. After changing his clothes, he took Hu Kai and Lao Yi to go back to the hotel.

After two rounds of competition, both of the three athletes in the men's 100-meter event of the Chinese track and field team completed the tasks assigned by the General Administration and the Competition Management Center.

Hu Kai made it to the semi-finals without any risk, and Lao Yi also performed well in the rematch and even almost got a ticket to the semi-finals.

Hu Kai was naturally overjoyed, although his performance at the start was almost affected by his failure in the rematch.

But the result is good after all. You must know that in the past Olympic Games and World Championships, no Chinese athlete has made it to the third round of the men's 100-meter event.

Now he is following Wen Hao to create a new history of Chinese track and field and Chinese sprinting. The nanny car drove to the hotel in the night. Seeing Lao Yi still looking gloomy, Wen Hao smiled and consoled him: "Are you still thinking about the rematch? Don't be discouraged. You have already run well enough."

"What's the saying? Failure always runs through life, and regret is the normal state of youth."

From Wen Hao's own perspective, Lao Yi's performance with these two shots today can no longer be described as "good". It simply refreshed his understanding.

Due to various reasons, Lao Yi's talent in the original time and space was not "realized" until 2009 after he joined the Guangxi track and field team in 2010.

And because he received systematic training too late, and he trained all the way from a vocational technical school and a normal university before joining the Guangxi track and field team, he suffered many injuries that should not have occurred.

After experiencing a brief peak period in 2010, Lao Yi, who was originally from the original time and space, quickly experienced a significant decline in form. After barely "hanging" in the national team for two years, he sadly retired and became a coach.

而这个时间线发生变动的时空，仅在2007年的这个时间点，劳毅便先后跑出10.21（+1.1）、10.27（-1.5）、10.21（-0.6）的好成绩。

If this momentum continues, I won't say that he can break the 10-second mark, but he will definitely be much better than the original time and space.

In fact, even now, in terms of performance alone and regardless of honor, Lao Yi is already much better than the original time and space.

However, this is also Wen Hao's own "God" perspective. For Lao Yi, there is only 0.01 seconds left to advance to the semi-finals. It would be false to say that he has no regrets in his heart.

After being comforted for a while, Lao Yi's mood improved slightly, and a forced smile finally appeared on his face.

crunch--

boom--

While they were chatting, the nanny car suddenly braked hard. The tires made a short and harsh friction sound with the ground, and then hit something.

Fortunately, everyone in the car wore seat belts and braked in time. The impact was not violent and no injuries occurred.

"what's the situation?"

"What happened?"

Wen Hao looked up and realized that he seemed to have hit a car in front of him.

"How do you drive?" Annie, who was in the passenger seat, immediately asked the driver. The car was driving smoothly on the road, but who knew that such an accident would suddenly happen.

Whether the car was injured or not was secondary. What if Wenhao was injured and the rest of the game was delayed? How could she shoulder this responsibility?
"You can't blame me, it was the car in front that suddenly stopped for some reason." The driver replied, leaned out of the window to look, and suddenly cursed: "Fuck! I just said what's going on, it's a female driver!" "

"."

Everyone in the car suddenly fell silent.

"You guys sit down first, and I'll get out of the car and talk to her about it!" The driver said, unbuckled his seat belt, and stepped forward aggressively to explain.

Then the female driver in the car in front also got off, and she was greeted by the words "Private Marseille", and then the driver's brother scolded her relentlessly. I don't know whether he was really angry or just to show Wen Hao and others.

I thought that the female driver would be scolded for a few words, but who would have thought that another girl walked up to the front of the car, holding a dirty-looking puppy in her arms, and began to argue with the driver's brother righteously.

Wenhao also knew a little bit about Japanese and quickly figured out what was going on.

It turned out that the female driver in the car in front noticed a stray dog ​​crossing the road, and stepped on the brakes not to hit it. As a result, the nanny car with Wen Hao and others behind it was also hit.

After arguing for a while, another girl got out of the car in front. They all said that three women are a drama. No matter how hard-tempered the old driver is, he can't withstand the "siege" of three women for a while.

Annie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, just thought about forgetting it. The car was provided by Mercedes-Benz anyway, and she only suffered minor injuries because she braked in time. Rather than this, it was more important to get Wen Hao and the others back to the hotel quickly.

As a result, no one noticed, but Wen Hao opened the car door and walked over.

Anne was so frightened that she quickly got out of the car: "What are you doing down here? Go back to the car and be careful not to be photographed."

"It's okay, just take it if you can. It's not a big deal." Wen Hao smiled nonchalantly, "Let's see if we can show off our face. Solve the matter as soon as possible and go back to rest early."

She came to the driver's side and patted him on the shoulder, signaling for him to step back. Although the driver was reluctant, he knew that he couldn't reason with the three women because he was overbearing, so he took two steps back angrily.

"that."

Wen Hao was about to open his mouth to reason, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

On the one hand, his vocabulary is poor. His Japanese can barely be communicated with anyone, but he is still not very fluent.

But this was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that Wen Hao recognized one of the three women in front of him.

But it wasn't just him who was stunned, the three women in front of him also looked surprised after seeing his appearance clearly.

"Could he be?"

"is that a lie?"

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

The three girls were surprised and murmured for a while. Finally, the pure-looking girl holding the puppy walked up to Wen Hao, blinked and asked, "Excuse me. You are indeed the fastest man in the world, right Wen Hao?" "

"." Wen Hao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He always felt that the Japanese adjective used by the girl in front of him was a bit weird, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, I am Wen Hao."

"Si Guoyi!" The pure-faced girl exclaimed in surprise. She quickly put down the puppy in her arms and asked her companion for a wet tissue to dry her hands. Then she shyly stretched out her hand to Wen Hao: "My name is Yui Aragaki. Yi is an actor, nice to meet you, Wenjun!"

"I'm Higa Ai, nice to meet you!"

"My name is Erika Toda, nice to meet you!"
