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

Under the evening sun, Su Qian and the three of them were about to disperse when Yu Shuang, who was the first to jump out of the car and hopped around to take pictures, turned around and saw the movements of the three of them, so he walked over in two or three steps .

"Hey! Wait, wait, I'm also in the semi-finals tonight, so count me in!"

Yu Shuang leaned forward screaming, no matter what Su Qian and the others said before, he had to give Su Qian and the other three high-fives together to be satisfied.

As Yu Shuang said, tonight's semi-final also has him. The men's 400-meter sprint semi-final is just before the men's 200-meter sprint semi-final. After the men's 400-meter and 200-meter semi-finals, there is an 800-meter event. final.

Although Yu Shuang's project is different from Wang Chengwang's and Shao Ruoxuan's, the difficult situation they will face is exactly the same.

In the last men's 200-meter sprint, the last player who advanced was 20 seconds. In the last men's 12-meter sprint semi-final, the last player who advanced was 400 seconds.

Even if Yu Shuang refreshed his 400-meter PB to 44 the day before, there is still a gap of 83 seconds between him and this result. This gap, in the sprint field of track and field, basically represents insurmountable strength chasm.

But even in the face of such a gap, Yu Shuang still looked alive and kicking, without the slightest sense of nervousness because he would face an invincible opponent later.

He just kept nagging Su Qian: "Su Xiaoqian, your training plan won't be so strict after this Olympic Games, right? Don't forget that you promised to run a training match with me!"

Su Qian, who was also looking forward to tonight's semi-finals, hesitated in confusion after hearing Yu Shuang's words: "...ah? When did I promise you?"

Yu Shuang said bluntly: "As for the last training before the Olympics, I asked you if you can run a training match with me after the Olympics, and you said there is a chance!"

Su Qian: _(:з」∠)_

Su Qian looked at Big Yu hesitantly, and even wanted to pat him on the head lovingly. He felt that if his elder brother called him stupid next time, he would definitely introduce Big Yu to his brother, so that he could see the true love with his own eyes. silly boy.

While thinking about it, Su Qian also forgot to argue that what Yu Shuang said was not called 'promise'.

You Yun and Tian Wenhan, who had watched the whole process beside Su Qian and the others, watched the series of conversations with amused expression. You Yun and Tian Wenhan looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to remind Su Qian.

In the approaching stage of the competition, Su Qian and Yu Shuang can maintain such a mentality, which is what coaches like You Yun are completely happy to see.

When Su Qian and the others arrived at the Stade de France, it was only five or six o'clock in the evening, but for the country, it was already late at night.

At this time, the country is close to 0 o'clock, but there are still more than two hours before the two sprint semi-finals of the Chinese team.

For the new fans who started to follow the game after the night of the [-]m final, this was the first sprint event of the Chinese team that they really stayed up all night to follow. However, these new fans are completely energetic at the moment, There is no intention of retreating at all.

After the preliminaries they watched in the afternoon, there was a long discussion on the Internet about who could advance to the semi-finals of the Chinese team. Although the discussion has stopped now, the new fans who seemed a little impetuous have calmed down again. They did not because of Wang Chengwang The two of them, Shao Ruoxuan and Shao Ruoxuan, had little hope of advancing and gave up watching the match. More people were willing to stay up late at night to witness with their own eyes every step of the struggle of these players who are striving to compete for glory in the international arena.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after a series of competitions such as shot put, the audience in the auditorium who were looking forward to the track event finally let out a loud cheer.

The men's 400-meter sprint semi-finalists stepped onto the field first.

In the commentary room in China, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen also cheered up at the same time: the 400-meter semi-final is coming!

Although there was only one runner from China, Yu Shuang, in the 400-meter semi-finals, the 400-meter sprint enthusiasts on the Internet can be said to have already been itchy.

In the 200-meter-related discussions this evening, many people actually mentioned Yu Shuang’s 400-meter semi-finals tonight, but the 400-meter enthusiasts are unprecedentedly unified—this is the first time that a player from the Chinese team has advanced In the semi-finals of the men's 400-meter sprint, as long as Yu Shuang stands on the field of the semi-finals, he will win!

What did that sentence say?

——It’s all history. It’s good to have better results. If you can’t... anyway, what kind of bicycle do you want?

Perhaps because of this excellent mentality, these 400-meter fans boast that they already have a big heart, and they will not be afraid of tonight's 400-meter semi-finals, even if Yu Shuang's roller coaster performance drops again!

But this has not waited until the start of the 400-meter semi-finals. Only the first group of 400-meter semi-finalists appeared on the stage. Many 400-meter track and field fans who had let go of the big talk before did not dare to speak or even breathe.

【SOS, Big Fish is in the third group of the semi-finals, right?Why am I panicking now? 】

Many people recognized the ID of this speech as a 400-meter fan who had just "spoken without shame" this evening, saying that he had a heart of steel, and immediately laughed on the public screen in the live broadcast room.

These track and field fans on the Internet were joking with each other, but no one expected that in the backcourt lounge of the Stade de France, there were also people who were so nervous that they circled in the lounge again.

Tian Wenhan felt that his problem could not be changed, but his old friend Qiu Mingxin was still complaining about him: "Hey, old Tian, ​​if you turn around again, I will be dizzy by you."

Tian Wenhan grumbled back angrily: "Okay, let's see if you can still be so leisurely in the 200-meter semi-finals!"

The two of them and You Yun accompanied the players in the backcourt today. Xing Yuanzhi rarely stayed in the backcourt lounge, but waited for the start of the game in the audience seats.

In the auditorium at the scene, the audience had already started cheering for the upcoming competition. Amidst the cheers and joy of the audience, the first group of events belonging to the men's 400-meter sprint semi-finals officially kicked off this night. .

As those who have witnessed the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries group stage, whether it is Xing Yuanzhi sitting in the auditorium or Tian Wenhan anxiously staring at the live broadcast screen in the backcourt lounge, they saw the start of the competition. In an instant, the difference was clearly felt.

It was just the first group of semi-finals. The performances of Qatar's famous player Bassam and Botswana's famous player Bernard on the field have completely changed from their preliminaries.

In the preliminaries, Botswana's Bernard and Yu Shuang belonged to the same preliminaries group. At that time, his final score was 44 seconds, and his running time was entirely due to the stimulation and drive of Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang was in that game. He also ran an excellent result of 67 seconds.

If there are spectators who don't understand the situation and only watch the game, they may not be able to see the strength gap between Yu Shuang and Bernard.

But when today's game starts, Xing Yuanzhi is sure that facing today's Bernard, Yu Shuang will never have the opportunity to stimulate him, or get close to Bernard like before.

From the moment the gunshots sounded, Bernard's running speed and rhythm had far exceeded the previous preliminaries.

And even Bernard like this does not have an absolute advantage in the first group of semi-finals. In the first group of semi-finals, there is also the strong Steve from Grenada. A player capable of running under 44 seconds and the strongest player in this group.

On the field, Steve was always at the forefront, while Bernard and Bassem were both fighting for the second position.

In the fierce battle field, the players clearly divided into two different groups, among which the first group was Steve, Bassam and Bernard.

This semi-final match in the first group ended with Steve ranking first, Bernard second, and Bassam third. Steve and Bernard also successfully won this group. Eligible for direct promotion.

And when the results of all members of this group were revealed, the domestic audience who were waiting to watch the game before the live broadcast were really taken aback.

其中前三名选手成绩分别是43秒97、44秒21和44秒39，而在这前三名之外，男子400米短跑半决赛第一组No.4的选手，成绩也在44秒68。

With this result, no one can say the word 'weak', but in the first group of events, which is only the semi-finals, they have already failed to make it to the top three.

The audience who just watched Yu Shuang's men's 400-meter preliminaries the day before were really shocked when they thought of the "intense" science popularization by track and field fans in the afternoon when faced with this real performance gap.

It turns out that the players who seem to be very strong actually have so many more powerful existences above them.

Before the game just now, although they had already agreed with the previous rhetoric, they still had some beautiful imaginations similar to miracles in their hearts. After seeing the first group of matches and results in the semi-finals, these It was the first time for the fresh fans of track and field to really feel this huge difference in strength.

Yu Shuang's group is in the third group of the men's 400-meter sprint semi-final, which is the last group. While waiting for him to play, the audience waiting before the live broadcast experienced the first group and the second group of the 400-meter semi-final. The impact of the two groups of events.

At this time, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen in the commentary room were also analyzing the final promotion results.

"This year's Olympic track and field sprint event has indeed brought us a huge surprise, as the IAAF announced before the Olympics."

"In the two semi-finals of the men's 400-meter sprint just now, two consecutive groups of competitors rushed within 44 seconds. The fierce competition for qualifications for the finals has indeed surpassed the intensity of the last Olympics."

"In the current two group matches up to the semi-finals, in addition to the four players who have directly advanced, among the remaining players, the top two players are currently ranked at 4 seconds by Bassem and 44 seconds by Dutch player Roger. Second 39."

When he said this, Li Hai paused, and said: "That is to say, in the next group event of the men's 400-meter sprint semi-finals, there are only two ways for the contestants to advance—to get the top two qualify for direct promotion, or run under 44 at the same time in the case of third and fourth in the group."

Lin Xuwen also sighed with emotion when he heard this: "The intensity of today's men's 400-meter dash semi-final has indeed exceeded our expectations, and the third round of the men's 400-meter dash semi-final that will start soon In the group event, there is a Chinese 400-meter sprinter Yu Shuang."

"It's not the first time that Yu Shuang has entered the arena of a top international event, but this time the competition for the 400-meter final in the Paris Olympics should be more difficult than any event he has participated in before."

At the same time that Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were communicating, Yu Shuang had also entered the arena.

Yu Shuang has watched the first two semi-final matches with his own eyes since he was just waiting to play in the backcourt. , On the contrary, he is even more looking forward to the upcoming semi-final match that belongs to him.

The gene of his body seems to be engraved with the heart of surpassing and chasing the strong. Even though he knows that he may not be able to win after appearing on the stage, this kind of expectation never stops, and even urges him to keep moving forward.

If you want to say that the national team's sprint group is the most suitable athlete in terms of mental state, Yu Shuang will definitely be able to rank in the top three, and the top three with him are probably Xian Wangxing and Su Qian.

Even if he does make his coach angry and headache every time, his persistence and belief in transcendence will always bring comfort and glory to his coach.

At the scene, after the third group of men's 400-meter sprint semi-finalists finally appeared on the stage, the camera on the scene began to pass in front of them one by one. When the crane camera swept over Yu Shuang, he was still in the mood to face the camera. Waving his hands and laughing loudly, Tian Wenhan in the backcourt lounge had a heart attack at this scene, but there was also a subtle sense of relief.

Compared with the first two groups, the average strength of the players in the third group of the semi-finals where Yu Shuang is located is slightly lower, but it is definitely not bad.

Among the 8 contestants, only two failed to run within 45 seconds of the best time of the season. Among the remaining 6 contestants, Jochem from the United States was the strongest. He also had a PB within 44 seconds. , Although he has not opened the 44-second mark this season, he has also run a time of 44 seconds this season, and may break through the 06-second mark at any time.

In the 400-meter world, 44 seconds is the number that every top player is eager to break through, but in today's arena, only in the semi-finals, two players have broken into it in a row.

This alone is enough to see the horror of today's 400-meter semi-final.

On the field, 8 players stood in front of the starting line of their own track, waiting for the starter on the broadcast to announce the official start of the race.

At this time, it is clear that the alarm bell for a formal battle has not sounded, but every contestant on the track has already put on a fighting spirit. They are either with their hands on their hips, or they are turning their necks and slapping their muscles. They are doing the final relaxation, but the cold and fierce aura exuded by everyone shows that they are bound to win this game.

Among the 8 contestants, perhaps only Yu Shuang on the seventh track is enjoying the upcoming game most purely. The excitement and anticipation in his eyes are already overflowing. He is waiting for a pure, Hearty, the strongest 400-meter competition that he can touch so far!

Finally, when the "Get in place" command sounded on the broadcast, the eight contestants walked around to their own starting blocks, squatted on the starting blocks, put their hands on the ground, and got ready to wait for the start of the race.

When the final sound of "preparation" fell, the starting gun sounded with a "bang", and then the audience in the entire auditorium began to burst into fanatical cheering. This fanatical shout almost shook the whole of France The stadium shattered.

On the track, 8 runners kicked off the starting block almost at the same time and started running, and 8 figures drew 8 arcs on the track-the battle for the final qualification of the men's 400-meter sprint semi-final finally officially kicked off. ring!

Jochem from the U.S. team, his starting reaction is not fast, but his explosive power is strong among the 400-meter runners. In just three explosive steps at the start, he is almost catching up with the sixth lane in front of him on the right players.

"Very powerful start! Jochem's first three steps basically established his lead...!"

In the commentary room of the domestic live broadcast, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were also slightly surprised after seeing Jochem's strong start. Besides Jochem, they were of course most concerned about Yu Shuang of the Chinese team.

Yu Shuang's start is very good, including his cornering state, the overall strength, explosiveness, rhythm and technical control are all perfectly connected, which can be regarded as one of the best in his career.

This kind of performance is enough to make people's eyes shine, but at the same time it is a bit regretful-it is a pity that even if Yu Shuang has shown such a state, he is still only in the middle of the field in front of him.

"Yu Shuang's performance is very good! For this semi-final where the world's famous players are all sprinting, Yu Shuang also showed his best state so far!"

"The stronger you are, the stronger you are. This is the most commendable and admirable point in Yu Shuang. Even though he knows that he may not be able to catch up with his opponent, he is still going all out!"

Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were very pleased with Yu Shuang's state, but people like Tian Wenhan and Su Qian who knew Yu Shuang better could see that Yu Shuang was so happy now.

On the field, Yu Shuang was happily chasing and running. He felt every inch of his body control and perception of speed and rhythm. He also ran out of a more crazy rhythm.

The joy of running and the pursuit of speed dominated Yu Shuang at this moment. He was running with all his strength on the track, but every step he stepped on was still precise and powerful.

With every meter forward, he could feel the power in his body being consumed violently, but he could also feel that his speed was still gradually increasing.

Sprint!

These two words instinctively echoed in Yu Shuang's mind, and the excitement in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

In the commentary room, in the auditorium, before the live broadcast...

More and more people watched Yu Shuang catch up from fifth to fourth bit by bit in this terrifying and powerful arena...

When he overtook the player in front of him who was originally fourth, even Xing Yuanzhi couldn't help standing up and shouting hello.

——In this arena, when all the players are trying their best to sprint forward, no one can successfully complete a lead.

And Yu Shuang succeeded!

When he overtook the original fourth player, the 400-meter race was halfway through, and the players had already reached the second corner stage, and their physical energy consumption was gradually approaching the limit. They slowed down a little at this stage , Save a little last bit of energy for yourself.

then.

When they cut from the second corner to the straight, everyone no longer cared about the rhythm, and the final strength broke out completely, and everyone began to sprint forward with all their strength!

Many people had painful and hideous expressions on their faces, and although Yu Shuang gritted his teeth as well, he could see the light of excitement in his eyes.

This excited guy launched his final sprint forward with all his strength in the final 80-meter stage. Everyone can see his figure gradually approaching the direction of No.3. Unfortunately, this approaching speed is not fast enough after all. ...

When No.1 Yochem successfully crossed the finish line, the players behind also crossed the line one by one.

On the track, the figure from the east was sprinting with all his strength until the last moment, intending to overtake the runners in front. It was not until he finally crossed the finish line that he wrinkled his face in annoyance and buffered forward again. After a few steps, he knelt down and sat on the track with a plop, then turned around and put his hands behind him, sitting on the track and panting heavily.

While panting for breath, he still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but at the same time, he seemed to have a hearty joy of running the race happily.

In the commentary room, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen's voices were almost hoarse from shouting just now.

From the moment Yu Shuang started sprinting towards No.3, Li Hai was cheering for him at the top of his lungs——

"Yu Shuang is approaching the No.3 Jamaican player!! Come on!!!"

"The distance is getting closer!! In the last 30 meters, there is still a chance!!"

"Come on!! Come on, Yu Shuang!!!"

"come on!!!!"

When the last cheer came to an abrupt end, it was the No.3 Jamaican player who finally crossed the line, but Yu Shuang regretted that he failed to overtake.

But even so, Yu Shuang's performance was astonishing enough. He successfully entered the top four in today's semi-final where top players gathered.

Before the final results came out, Yu Shuang even had an extremely small chance of qualifying for the finals - just this chance, before the start of this competition, people couldn't even imagine it.

【Ahhhhh, help, No.4! !This ranking is promising...but the results...]

【Help... It's really too difficult to surpass the results of the two remaining rankings】

On the public screen in the live broadcast room, the 400-meter enthusiasts who had screamed before the race and declared that they were big hearts were in chaos at this moment. Shuang donated some charity or something, and prayed for a little luck for him...

For example, praying for other players not to run so crazy or something else.

In short, it is not after the game is over at this moment, before waiting for the final results, here I am so anxious that I want to tear up the computer.

On the field, among all the anxious crowd, Yu Shuang, who had already finished the semi-finals, had forgotten the troubles of his results. Once there was a cheer - the final result came out!

Only then did he open his eyes and look up at the large electronic screen at the scene.

On the fourth column of the large electronic screen, it is clearly showing - Yu Shuang (China), 44 seconds 67 (NR)!
