Let's be a world champion first! [sports]

Paris time is 10:50 am, which is also close to 5:[-] pm in the domestic afternoon.

Domestic audiences once again gathered in the live broadcast room of the Paris Olympic men's sprint event.

In the past two days, Xian Wangxing and Su Qian were both removed from the 400-meter sprint, and then Yu Shuang easily advanced to the semi-finals of the men's [-]-meter sprint. The good news that followed completely reversed the impression of many spectators on the sprint event.

It can be said that domestic audiences are paying more and more attention to sprint competitions.

Today's men's 200-meter preliminaries have already had a series of popular science before the start. From a well-known question-and-answer platform to Weibo and major online live broadcast platforms, it only takes two days. Popular science articles related to sprinting , Short video and live broadcast content are dozens of times larger than in the past.

Even now that the topic traffic of various sports has climbed to the highest peak every four years, the most attention-grabbing of these sports is still sprinting.

At least in this Paris Olympic cycle, the sprint event has become a well-deserved top class in domestic sports together with diving, table tennis, weightlifting and other events.

At this time, several websites and TV stations that have the right to live broadcast the Olympics will usher in new changes in the latest TOP20 Olympic audience ratings recorded on the data records.

And this kind of change has absolutely nothing to do with sprint events in the past.

"The attention paid to competitive sports really depends on the results!"

A staff member sighed in this way, and then continued to focus on the upcoming live broadcast in front of him.

In the webcast room at this time, the audience attracted by the heat of track and field in the past two days was clamoring excitedly, with the momentum of 'I want to see the Chinese players smash the Quartet at the beginning'.

And the old track and field fans who are also very happy in the past two days can't help feeling a little worried when they see such an atmosphere-these new fans are attracted by the strength of Xian Wangxing and Su Qian, so when will they be there? After realizing that not all the sprinters of the Chinese team are as strong as Xian Wangxing and Su Qian, facing such a gap, will the excitement in front of them fade away again?

Someone expressed a few words about this hidden worry in the track and field kingdom, but soon someone gave rational comfort.

——[Even if some people's enthusiasm fades, there will definitely be another group of people who are really attracted by the charm of track and field and will stay. With the wave in front of them, more people will really stay this time, and after When track and field set off a new wave, more people will reunite. 】

This kind of consolation really calmed down the hearts of many track and field fans, and they refocused on the events in front of them.

In the commentary room, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were in a relaxed state with a little expectation.

"Many audience friends should already know that this time the men's 200-meter sprint is the first time that the Chinese team has 3 runners to participate in the competition. This is already a historic breakthrough for the Chinese track and field team." Li Hai was very excited. Happy to introduce.

"Yes, the Chinese team has 3 players participating this time, namely Su Qian, Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan. Among them, Su Qian participated in the competition with qualified results, and Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan participated in the competition with qualified points rankings."

Li Hai and Lin Xuwen first briefly introduced the background of the Chinese team's competitors, and then turned the topic to the 200-meter grouping and promotion rules.

The final number of participants in the men's 200m is the same as that of the 400m, so the grouping and promotion rules are basically the same as those in the 400m. The preliminaries are divided into 6 groups with 8 players in each group. The top three in each group will advance directly, and the remaining players will have top 6 were eligible for replacement promotion.

The grouping of the players in the preliminaries has already been announced the day before. Su Qian is in the sixth group of the preliminaries and will appear in the last group of the group stage. Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan will be in the second and third groups respectively. debut.

Among the groups selected by Su Qian, Wang Chengwang, and Shao Ruoxuan, if the average strength of the players is to be said to be the strongest, it is actually Su Qian's sixth group in the preliminaries, but it actually worries the national team coaches and track and field fans the most It was the preliminaries of Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan.

There is no other reason, it is a matter of strength.

Su Qian's time of 19 seconds last season was already among the top five results in the 86-meter sprint last season. With his relaxed running now, he can basically maintain his performance in the range of 200-20 seconds Even if it is indeed the Olympics now, if he wants to eliminate Su Qian in the preliminaries, the only possibility is that Su Qian made a major mistake himself.

Compared with Su Qian, Wang Chengwang with a PB of 20 and Shao Ruoxuan with a PB of 39 are in a dangerous situation hovering on the edge of promotion.

In the backcourt lounge, Xing Yuanzhi, You Yun, and Qiu Mingxin were also chatting about the upcoming game.

"Hey, Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan, what do you think of Lao Xing and Xiao You?" Qiu Mingxin would laugh at his friend Tian Wenhan every time he was so nervous that he paced around before the competition, but it was his turn and his competitors were about to start the competition. And no better than his old friend.

If it wasn't for the presence of Xing Yuanzhi and You Yun, he would probably have been circling in the lounge too.

Xing Yuanzhi was sitting on the bench, holding in his hand the grouping forms of Wang Chengwang, Shao Ruoxuan and Su Qian. Not to mention Su Qian's, Wang Chengwang and Shao Ruoxuan's preliminaries each had at least 3 seasons There are players whose best time is within 20 seconds, and the season's best time is within 30 seconds.

In the second group of the preliminaries, in the same group as Wang Chengwang, there is also the Japanese player Keigo Miyagi with a PB of 20 in spite of the mediocre best result of the season. Su Qian took the lead in running 06, which is astonishing. After the results, Miyagi Keigo's state was in a downturn for a long time.

Among them, the worst state is in this season's S City Diamond League sub-station.

The state of Miyagi Keigo at that time was later called a "disgraceful battle" by the Japanese media in Japan, but after the worst battle, Miyagi Keigo seemed to come alive suddenly. Not yet back to his best form, but he's not as slumped as he once was in games.

With such an opponent present, Wang Chengwang's desire to advance smoothly is actually not as simple as what Qiu Mingxin told him the day before.

Xing Yuanzhi looked at the form in his hand, frowned, and said after a long time: "Look, if we talk about the best results, Wang Chengwang can only be ranked seventh, but there are many veterans in this group. If we only look at the results of this season, Wang Chengwang It can be ranked fourth, but behind Wang Chengwang, Miyagi Keigo, we don't know his specific recovery situation."

"Overall, if Wang Chengwang plays well this time, it's not hopeless."

Qiu Mingxin also sullenly.

Of course he understood the meaning of these words - if Wang Chengwang didn't play well, it would be difficult.

In fact, his judgment is also the same, or in other words, in the preliminaries, the average scores and PB/SB data of these players are placed here. All coaches can swipe the list and look at the competition data of these players during the season. There is a [-]% to [-]% certainty of judgment.

It's just that judgment is judgment, and Qiu Mingxin just wants to get a firm and reassuring answer from Xing Yuanzhi at this moment.

In the end, it was You Yun who silently said on the sidelines: "Coach Qiu, Wang Chengwang has a calm personality and clear goals. In this season's Olympic qualifying competition, his performance is more stable than Shao Ruoxuan. In the Olympic Games On this field, which is his most persistent goal, I believe he will not let himself miss any chance."

Although the tone of You Yun's voice was gentle, there was a sense of tenacity and determination in it.

What Qiu Mingxin wanted at this moment was just such a word of comfort. He only smiled a little when he heard You Yun's words: "Thank you, Xiao You."

While a few people were talking, the players in the first group of preliminaries on the field were ready. Seeing that the first group of preliminaries was about to start, the three of You Yun also calmed down and turned their attention to the live broadcast of the event.

On the field at this time, the eight contestants in the first group of the preliminaries have already started their pace, and from the expressions of these contestants, it can actually be seen which contestants are already fighting with all their strength and which contestants are not. With ease.

Players who try their best often even have a face that seems to be exerting force, and usually show a ferocious look, while players who are comfortable with ease can tell just by looking at their expressions-this powerful guy, he didn't try his best!

The same arena, different players and status.

Amidst the roaring cheers at the scene, the first group of preliminaries also crossed the line one after another. The top three players who successfully advanced to the men's 200-meter sprint semi-finals of this Olympic Games have all been decided within half a minute. .

In the first group of contestants present, some cheered and others were frustrated. After the final results were released, these contestants finally walked towards the exit channel either with easy steps or with apprehensive expectations.

After the exit of the first group of contestants, the long-awaited second group of preliminaries finally officially debuted.

Of course, Wang Chengwang is among the players in this group. When he stepped onto the field with a calm and stable state of mind, he thought that he could maintain this calm and expectant state, and run with the best relaxed posture. After finishing this race, he ran out of his stable level and above.

But the moment his footsteps actually set foot on the arena, there was a roar of cheers from the auditorium, and faint Chinese cheers from the seats in the Chinese player area...

All these sounds suddenly crashed into Wang Chengwang's mind at this moment.

As if with a 'bang', Wang Chengwang's heartbeat suddenly became violent, and even the blood in his body suddenly boiled.

He was wrong - he thought.

He thought that he had experienced many international competitions, and he would be able to maintain a stable mentality well in the Olympic arena.

But he was wrong.

He closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them to look at the surrounding auditorium, at each of his opponents, at the field he was about to step on.

This is the Olympic arena, here he comes!
