Chapter 417: The -meter Finals
After the camera switched, Li Hong asked curiously, "Zhongqiu, how confident are you? Can you break 9.88 seconds?"
Feng Shuyong said at the side: "After the last national championship and the three games this time, Zhongqiu's skills should be more stable. I can see it from the technical training in the past two days."
Li Hong looked at Feng Shuyong, then at He Zhongqiu, waiting for his answer.
He Zhongqiu nodded and said, "The technique has improved a little. Director Feng is worthy of being the head coach. The stability is indeed better."
Feng Shuyong added: "But there is only one unfavorable factor. The wind speed has always been against us, which affects the results."
"That's true." He Zhongqiu nodded.
Li Hong said: "That means the IAAF and the Japanese organizing committee's wish to break the world record in the 100m and 200m may not come true."
"Environmental factors make it difficult to break the record. And as Zhongqiu said, the two best players are injured, making it even more difficult to break," said Feng Shuyong.
At this time, Bolt passed by. He did not make it into the 100-meter final and his face showed disappointment.
He Zhongqiu had just watched Bolt's semi-final. He had technical problems. If he didn't solve those problems, it would be difficult for Bolt to improve in the 100-meter event.
Bolt's running posture just now was not good. His center of gravity was biased to one side, and the center of gravity of his upper body was backward. He did not lean forward and failed to run under ten seconds.
But this young man does have good explosive power and stride advantage. As long as the technical problems are solved, his 100-meter result will immediately improve.
Now that his skills have reached a first-rate level, he is able to compete with the world's top sprinters.
After the World Athletics Championships in Japan, there will be four Golden League events in September, and his technical level can continue to improve.
By the end of the month in Shanghai, his technique should be able to improve by two to three levels, or even four levels. By then, he should be able to run in 9.77 seconds, or even break this record.
However, these are still speculations based on his technical level. He did not burst out at full strength in the training and competitions in the past two days, so he does not know how much he can run now.
Several people walked towards the lounge, and Feng Shuyong suddenly said, "I just heard a piece of news. There was originally a men's 400m semi-final tonight, just before the men's 100m final, but the organizing committee adjusted it."
"Fortunately, we made adjustments. If we had run three consecutive races during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the final 100-meter final would definitely have been affected!" Li Hong exclaimed.
Feng Shuyong said: "The organizing committee must have taken the Mid-Autumn Festival into consideration, and they believe there is hope of winning the championship during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In other sports where the 100m finals are held, no one runs 400m, except for the 100m and 200m in the Mid-Autumn Festival, who also runs 400m.”
He Zhongqiu thought of another question, and said thoughtfully: "Bolt has never run 400 meters, which means that his speed and endurance are not particularly good. His explosive power and stride are his greatest advantages."
"Zhongqiu, what are you thinking about?" Li Hong asked.
He Zhongqiu said: "It can be seen that he has great potential. Once he solves his technical problems, he will definitely become a first-class sprinter.
I used to think that his explosive power was not yet developed, but from the competitions in the past two days, I can see that his explosive power is already very good, but it is his 100-meter technique that has problems.
He is three years younger than me. Sooner or later, I will compete with him in the 100m and 200m events. The 100m event is more about explosiveness and stride, but the 200m event also requires physical fitness. "
He felt that Bolt's explosive power should have reached level 110. That was a real talent. He was not too old, and if he trained for another one or two years, his explosive power should be close to his current level.
"Does Bolt have such great potential?" Li Hong asked.
"It's big."
He Zhongqiu nodded and said, "The 200 meters is his strong point. As for the 100 meters, as long as he improves his technique, coupled with his stride and explosive power, I even think that within one to two years, he will have the potential to become one of the best sprinters in the world."
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, thinking that it seemed that she had to continue collecting information about Bolt.
Time passed quickly and it was almost nine o'clock.
"Director Feng, call me at 9 o'clock."
"it is good."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I occasionally did some exercise to keep my body warm. When it was close to nine o'clock, I started practicing standing meditation to adjust my Qi and blood.
As his Qi and Blood reached the limit of his natural talent at level 150, he learned more and more methods of controlling Qi and Blood.
I feel that there will be a breakthrough in explosive power in the next few days, and it should be close to level 121.
There were many athletes from other countries in the lounge. When they saw He Zhongqiu standing in the stance, they couldn't help but talk about it and some even took out their cameras and mobile phones to take pictures.
He Zhongqiu was immersed in the state of perfection in the standing meditation. His extremely lively qi and blood were running continuously in every part of his body, nourishing his internal organs and every tendon, bone and muscle.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, it's 9 o'clock."
At this moment, Feng Shuyong's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"boom!"
At this moment, the blood in his body surged, and his body and mind reached an excellent state.
The panel popped up, and some qualities had been improved quietly.
Bones and muscles +1, level 141.
Explosive power +1, level 121.
Speed +1, level 99.
As expected, standing meditation is the foundation of everything. It can improve physical fitness by moving Qi and blood and fundamentally changing the body.
The two left the lounge. Li Hong had been waiting outside. The three of them went to the stadium. The men's 100m final was about to begin.
"Crack, click, click..."
Even though He Zhongqiu was not the favorite to win the 100-meter race, his influence was overwhelming, so the most reporters were waiting for him, and there were reporters all along the way.
In comparison, the two biggest champions, Tyson Gay and Powell, received far less attention than He Zhongqiu.
The live broadcast of Channel 5 has begun. The camera cuts to Li Hong. She follows He Zhongqiu forward and says to the camera:
"In terms of the results of the first three 100m races, Zhongqiu was the best and most stable, with all three runs below 10. On the other hand, Gay and Powell each only had one run below 10 in the first three rounds.
Of course, this is also probably the reason why they did not burst out with all their strength in the first three rounds.
However, judging from the results in the first three rounds, Zhongqiu is in very good shape, and we can expect him to perform very well in the upcoming finals.”
From the corridor to the exit, the stadium is outside.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, are you ready?"
Liu Xiang did not participate in the competition, but rushed over from the athletes' village after dinner.
Not only Liu Xiang, but all the other athletes of the national team who are not competing now are waiting here.
Many coaches and staff members of the national team, who are currently unemployed, have also arrived.
Even the Consul General from the Osaka Consulate General arrived.
In addition, a large number of Japanese stars appeared, and when they saw He Zhongqiu coming, they all bowed 90 degrees.
He Zhongqiu also saw several familiar faces, including Ishihara Satomi, Sawajiri Erika, Ayase Yao, Kitagawa Keiko, etc., all of whom have grown up.
But as a family man, he doesn't want to get involved with these women now.
"Ready."
He Zhongqiu responded, nodded to everyone, nodded to a few Japanese beauties, and strode towards the stadium.
"Mid-Autumn-kun!"
The beauties were dejected and could only bow again to his back.
"Oh ho!"
As He Zhongqiu appeared at the Nagai athletic arena, countless Japanese spectators welcomed him, and this place became his home court.
In addition, at least 5,000 Chinese flew to Osaka from China, plus a large number of international students, there were no less than 7,000 Chinese living in the arena.
At this time in the Changju Arena, the bright five-star red flags were flying everywhere, and Chinese people were everywhere with the five-star red flags on their faces.
Seeing so many five-star red flags, He Zhongqiu felt extremely excited at that moment and wanted to put on that red flag more than ever.
“My two strongest competitors were injured, but I improved my physical fitness on the spot.”
"The 100-meter technique has now reached level 90, plus the support of the audience, this is called the right time, the right place, and the right people."
He Zhongqiu’s self-confidence grew stronger and stronger, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
With his intention, the circulation of qi and blood gradually accelerated, forming an extremely powerful magnetic field. His body quickly entered a warm-up state and also exuded a strong scent of male hormones.
Li Hong, who was standing nearby, was immediately affected. She felt that He Zhongqiu had become a little sun. Her heartbeat quickened, and her blood rushed. She felt like a little moth, having the urge to throw herself into the fire and burn herself.
"No wonder Tang Yan and Bai Bingbing wanted to follow him even though they didn't care about their status. Isn't this attraction too great?"
But her willpower was very strong, and she quickly took a step away, and the impact she was experiencing also decreased.
"Li Hong, Li Hong, how is Mid-Autumn Festival now?"
At this time, Han Qiaoshen's voice sounded in her headset. Knowing that the camera had switched to her side, she quickly said to the camera:
"Teacher Han, Zhongqiu is in very good condition now. He has already started to get into the game state."
Han Qiaoshen encouraged him: "Well, well, well, now the whole country is watching him, I hope he can perform well and run at his best."
At 9:15, the -meter final is about to begin.
At this moment, it is past 8 o'clock in China, the sky has darkened, and every household has turned on the television and tuned to CCTV Channel .
Because it was Sunday, the streets and alleys of the city were empty. Everyone had either gone home or gathered in restaurants, bars, street shops and other places with televisions. It was a complete deserted city.
In the vast rural areas, even the stray dogs have returned home, and every household has turned on the television and tuned to channel 5.
In Yanjing, even the top leaders within the red walls have tuned to Channel 5.
In Osaka, Japan, next to the 100-meter track of the Nagai Arena, He Zhongqiu took the water handed to him by Feng Shuyong, drank two sips, nodded to Li Hong, walked to the starting point, and began to adjust the running blocks.
The finals were scheduled based on the semi-finals results, with the top four getting lane 3456 and the bottom four getting lane 1278.
The first place had 4 questions, the second place had 5 questions, the third and fourth place had 36 questions, and the last four had 2718 questions, with the worst having 18 questions.
He Zhongqiu ran 9.96 seconds in the semi-finals, ranking second, only lower than Tyson Gay's 9.94 seconds, so the final track was lane 5.
After adjusting the running gear, he tried to start a few more times to see if the running gear was adjusted properly.
As time approached, under his intentional movement, the circulation of Qi and blood reached the fastest speed, his body was like a furnace of Qi and blood, the temperature was 20 degrees, and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.
The same was true for the other athletes, each of them was covered in sweat.
To his left is the current world sprint king Tyson Gay, and to his right is Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell.
These two people are currently the strongest sprinters in the 9.77m race, with their best results both being 9.88 seconds, while his best result is 0.11 seconds, a difference of seconds.
There were reporters and cameras on both sides of the track, and the lenses were basically aimed at the three tracks of 456.
On the side, a number of senior executives of the IAAF, including President Diack, a number of senior executives of the Japanese Organizing Committee, a number of senior executives of the Japan Athletics Federation, the Mayor of Osaka, and three directors of the China Athletics Management Center, including Luo Chaoyi, were all present.
Li Hong said to the live camera: "So far, no world record has been broken in this World Championships, and the upcoming 100m final is likely to create the first new world record of this World Championships.
Please see, this 100m final has also attracted hundreds of media from all over the world. The world's attention is here. The IAAF and the Japanese Organizing Committee also have high hopes for this event. "
At this time, she said in an enthusiastic tone: "I just asked, the wind speed is -0.5 meters per second. Although it is against the wind, the real strong people have to go against the wind. Let us look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival creating a great miracle for us Chinese tonight."
