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

Stade de France, 8:20 p.m.

The two preliminaries of the men's 4X400-meter sprint relay are expected to start in 10 minutes, because there are only 6 individual events tonight, and tonight's schedule starts extremely late.

In the auditorium at the scene, after a long wait, the audience was already full of anticipation and wanted to watch a wonderful event immediately.

In China, at this time, the live broadcast of the Olympic Games has also cut to the men's 4x400m sprint relay field. After the first group of preliminaries appeared on the stage, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen also began to introduce the upcoming event.

与其它短跑接力项目相同，4X400米短跑接力总共也是16支参赛队伍分为两个预赛小组，我国男子4X400米短跑接力的队伍还是位于预赛第二一。

Unlike the previous two relay events where the grouping strength was average, this time the men's 4X400-meter sprint relay grouping, the opponents in the first group of preliminaries are much stronger than those in the second group of preliminaries.

第一组的8支队伍中，中国队3分02秒32的PB仅仅位列第七，仅比同组的捷克队要略胜一些，余下的6支队伍，有5支队伍PB在3分钟以内，唯一没进3分钟的PB在3分01秒37。

"Tonight's 4X400-meter sprint relay will undoubtedly be a tough battle for the Chinese team players. In any case, as the first match of the Chinese men's 4X400-meter relay in the Olympic Games, I hope our team can show its own strength. Stay sorry!"

At the same time as Li Hai was speaking, the top players of the teams from all over the world had already arrived at their starting positions, and Xu Haiyang, the first player of the Chinese team, had also arrived at the starting position of the ninth lane.

As a 400-meter relay, the position of the ninth track is really not a good track, but Xu Haiyang and the others already know the track and group opponents in their hearts—just like Yu Shuang said, even if The enemy they are facing is the devil, and since they are on the same field, all they can do is rush.

At the starting position of the ninth track, Xu Haiyang stood on his own track, adjusted all the details, and when he stood up again, he vaguely heard a Chinese shout of "Come on Chinese team", he turned his head in a daze, just happened to I saw the small group of spectators from China in the auditorium.

Xu Haiyang waved his hand in the direction of the Chinese audience, and then looked at the stadium in front of him. He couldn't help feeling nervous and excited like every athlete who had the opportunity to set foot on the Olympic stadium for the first time.

However, he didn't get too immersed in this emotion. After taking a slight breath, he focused on the field in front of him.

这一场4X400米的接力预赛，与中国队同组的队伍有美国、意大利、波兰、特立尼达和多巴哥、英国、博茨瓦纳、捷克等7支队伍，其中美国、波兰、特立尼达和多巴哥、英国、博茨瓦纳等5支队伍的400米短跑接力PB都在3分钟以内。

It was a tough fight...

Xu Haiyang smiled and sighed in his heart-but the Chinese team is now qualified to stand on the Olympic arena with such a top team!

They used to panic even in the Asian Championships, for fear that they would hold Yu Shuang back, and they would end up in worse condition.

Xu Haiyang still remembered that time when Tian Wenhan scolded them bloody, but it also woke them up from their nervousness and hesitation.

Although now, they know that their level still limits the upper limit of the team's performance, but they have also become daring to fight, dare to go all out on the 400-meter field, and use their weak power of fireflies to fight together. Burst the strongest light.

Since when did they start to have such a change?

Xu Haiyang couldn't remember clearly. The only thing he knew at this time was that - just like every game after the Asian Championships, what he had to do was to sprint with all his strength and run his best.

After the first batters of the 8 teams were ready, the voice of the starter on the live broadcast also sounded at this time.

In the sound of the command of "everyone in place", the first runners of the 4 teams in the men's 400X8-meter sprint relay circled around their starting blocks and squatted on the track.

In the waiting area for the relay players next to the track, players from various countries are watching nervously how the top player of their team is doing. On the Chinese team, Liu Juncheng, Tong Weizhang and Yu Shuang are also watching. Follow the direction where Xu Haiyang is.

Both Liu Juncheng and Tong Weizhang looked worried about the ninth way, but Yu Shuang was still very optimistic.

"It doesn't matter, Su Xiaoqian can have the ninth miracle, maybe we can have it too?"

As soon as Yu Shuang's words fell, the "preparation" command sounded on the radio. Liu Juncheng and Tong Weizhang had no time to respond to Yu Shuang's words. Everyone at the scene focused on the first runner. .

Immediately after the sound of 'preparation' was a crisp starting gun - "The game has officially begun!"

On the track, the 8 relay first runners burst out at almost the same time. Among these people, the most fierce start of the first runner was Rizak from the US team. Riza on the seventh track Ke almost caught up with the Czech player on the eighth lane at the first start, but at a distance of 50 meters, Rizak on the inner lane was almost equal to Xu Haiyang.

In addition to Rizak on the seventh track, the Botswana player on the fourth track was also fierce and hard to watch.

On the field, Xu Haiyang, who was on the ninth lane, felt countless players approaching him bit by bit from the inner lane almost from the second he started. The impact of other players turned into huge pressure to hit him, but he also Such preparations have already been made.

sprint.

The only thought was firmly entrenched in his mind at this moment, leaving aside all enemies, leaving aside the pressure of not seeing any rear players on the ninth lane, leaving aside the noisy and chaotic shouts on the field...

Everything converged into the character 'sprint', and then gritted his teeth and rushed forward with all his might!

In the commentary room, everything on the field was presented clearly from the live broadcast angle, and Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were also pleased with Xu Haiyang's state.

"Facing this group of powerful enemies, Xu Haiyang still maintained his state."

"Very good! This corner ran very well. Xu Haiyang is currently in the sixth position. He is not far behind the No.5 No. [-] Italian player!"

If you are an audience who has only watched the previous few sprint events and the men's and women's 4X100-meter relay race, once you hear such an introduction, you may already feel puzzled.

After all, falling in the last three after the start, it doesn't seem like a good result, but for experienced track and field fans, Xu Haiyang's starting state on the field is really good.

Among the first players of the 8 teams, the only two 400-meter runners with a time of 45 seconds are Xu Haiyang and the first runner of the Czech Republic. His 80-meter hurdles score is the top 400 in the world this season.

Facing the huge difference in strength, Xu Haiyang was not overwhelmed by the starting momentum of these players, and did not fall in the last position. Instead, he had already reached the sixth place, and even had hope of approaching the fifth place. This result was enough to make people surprise.

However, because of the huge gap in hard power, even if Xu Haiyang has been charging with all his strength, he still cannot truly achieve a counterattack in the first stage.

After passing the second corner stage on the track, the positions among the players of the eight teams on the field are very clear. Xu Haiyang has been relatively stable in the sixth position, but it seems that he is heading towards the sixth position. Just like the fifth position sprint, Trinidad and Tobago's first hitter, who is in seventh place, is also attacking the sixth position.

Before Xu Haiyang and Trinidad and Tobago's top player could decide the winner, it was time to pass the baton.

Xu Haiyang's eyes were fixed on Liu Juncheng, the second batter in front of him.

Finally, when he was extremely close to Liu Juncheng, he shouted Liu Juncheng's name: "Go!"

After the words fell, Liu Juncheng successfully held the baton in his hands!

"Good!! The Chinese team finished fifth to pass the baton!"

In the commentary room, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen were nervously watching the situation on the field all the time. They were very excited about the slight advantage brought by the first and second pass of the Chinese team, but this excitement did not last too long. For a long time, Italy's second baton, which was a little slower because of some confusion in passing the baton, and Trinidad and Tobago's second baton, which has already tied up with the loss speed of the first baton because of the smooth passing of the baton, have also moved to Approaching!

In just one sentence, Liu Jun, the second player of the Chinese team, has lost his previous advantage of fifth place.

Before the live broadcast, the audience who had already experienced the strength of the Chinese team after the progress of the sprint, faced this 4X400-meter relay, it can be said that it was the first time that they felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of an insurmountable enemy.

In the stage of the first baton, Xu Haiyang desperately clinged to the sixth position. When it came to the second baton, Liu Juncheng, he had already reversed to fifth place by virtue of his excellent pass and baton, but was soon lost by the sixth place. The Italian player took the lead, and there was even a seventh Trinidad and Tobago player chasing behind.

On the field, whether it is Xu Haiyang or Liu Juncheng, their concentration and all-out expression during the running process are seen in everyone's eyes, and even their every passing and passing of the baton has been as perfect as possible , but it is precisely because of this that the sense of powerlessness that cannot be overtaken is even more unbearable.

After one, two and three batons, the situation on the field has undergone tremendous changes. For example, Trinidad and Tobago, which was originally ranked seventh, has overtaken to fourth place, while Italy has fallen behind due to consecutive mistakes in passing and receiving batons. After reaching the back of the Chinese team, the Chinese team temporarily fell to the seventh place after overtaking and being overtaken several times.

Finally, after the first three bats, Tong Weizhang, the third baton, successfully passed the baton to Yu Shuang, the last baton.

No matter how optimistic the audience is, at this stage, they have already understood that the Chinese team on the field is powerless, but Yu Shuang, who took the baton from Tong Weizhang and quickly cut to the inside, did not seem to have such confidence at all. Like everyone knows, he is still taking firm steps, sprinting forward little by little.

Beside the track, Tong Weizhang, who was panting heavily, and Liu Juncheng and Xu Haiyang, who had recovered a little, were all looking at Yu Shuang's direction intently.

In the auditorium, the staff in the Chinese player area, as well as the Chinese audience in the auditorium, and the Chinese audience before the live broadcast... Everyone's eyes are on Yu Shuang's position, and everyone is watching intently. That figure who is still stubbornly sprinting even if he is already in the seventh place.

After taking the baton, Yu Shuang almost directly overtook the Czech fourth player who was not far away at the fastest speed. Before the Czech fourth player even reacted, Yu Shuang had already continued to rush forward!

In the innermost lane, the teams in different positions have opened up a considerable distance due to the gap in strength between them. The fifth place ahead is the fourth bat of the British team, which has fallen to fifth place due to poor passing and receiving.

On the track, the last players have already passed the second corner stage one after another, and Yu Shuang, who has been staring at the fourth player of the British team in front of him since he overtook the Czech player, has really competed with the fourth player of the British team ahead. The four sticks are getting closer!

The audience, who were already somewhat depressed because they were almost hopeless to advance, as Yu Shuang struggled forward bit by bit, and as Yu Shuang approached every bit, the originally a little tired mood burst out again.

"Come on!!! Come on big fish! Come on Chinese team!!!"

Such hoarse shouts reverberated in the auditorium, even if it was mixed with the cheers of everyone around and could no longer be heard, this voice was also tenacious like Yu Shuang who was obsessed with chasing on the field.

In the last 80 meters, the gap between Yu Shuang and the British team's fourth pole was less than two heights.

The last 50 meters.

The last 20 meters...!

This is……? !

"Successfully surpassed! No.5! The Chinese team crossed the finish line in fifth place!"

"Yu Shuang successfully surpassed the fourth player of the British team at the moment of catching up!!"

After seeing Yu Shuang successfully overtake the fourth player of the British team at the last moment, whether he can advance or other elements are not important anymore.

After all the players crossed the line, the live broadcast shot suddenly cut to Yu Shuang who was lying on the ground after crossing the finish line. Under the camera, Yu Shuang was lying on the ground, panting and showing a silly smirk .

In the picture, the young man who collapsed on the ground and smiled smirkingly towards the sky after crossing the line, his persistent spirit of advancing seems to have everything at this moment.

"This game vividly reflects the spirit of our athletes."

"This is the Olympic spirit, this is the spirit of competitive sports!"

"Regardless of whether the Chinese team can advance to the final in this men's 4X400-meter sprint relay event, let us send blessings to the Chinese team players who are struggling on the field-you are already the best!"

"Big Fish, you are already the best!"
