Chapter 191 Rice Qualifiers

Yang Shu first published an interview with Zhao Yun after the 100-meter race.

Then, as a warm-up, an article was published about the upcoming 200-meter showdown between Zhao Yun and Bolt.

The pictures directly accompanying the article are Zhao Yun tearing his shirt with his hands and Bolt drawing his bow and shooting an arrow. The two people appear in the same picture head to head, as if they are going to duel in an octagonal cage.

A large amount of space is devoted to the tit-for-tat conversations between the two people, which was full of tension!

This report was widely forwarded, and the number of online views exceeded 100 million in just a few hours.

The online competition started before Zhao Yun and Bolt started.

This is the shock brought by the two most popular people in track and field today.

Zhao Yun was unaware of all this because he had already handed his phone in. The coaching staff told him not to worry about the ups and downs outside and just do his best.

Because tomorrow is the preliminaries, Zhao Yun’s current strength doesn’t put too much pressure on him to advance.

In the evening, everyone just casually talked about some precautions and reminded Zhao Yun to be careful not to make Bolt's mistake, and that advancement would be basically a sure thing.

Zhao Yun nodded and kept it in mind.

After drinking a glass of milk and eating two slices of bread, Zhao Yun began to rest.

After waking up the next morning, Zhao Yun ate a little and then went to the Shanxi Sports Center with the coaching staff.

On July 7, the weather was clear with a wind speed of +1 m/s.

The Shanda Sports Center was once again packed.

After some inspections, Zhao Yun was grouped into the fifth group of the competition after calling the roll in the backcourt.

There are seven groups in total, with 56 people participating in the competition.

The rules for the 200m qualifying round to advance to the semifinals are that the top three of each group of eight runners and the three fastest remaining runners, a total of 24 people, can enter the semifinals. The semifinals are divided into three groups for confrontation, with the top two of each group of eight runners and the top two fastest remaining runners, and the last eight people enter the finals.

Zhao Yun was doing warm-up exercises in the training room at the back.

But I kept thinking about Bolt's false start yesterday. I don't know why I felt uneasy and was afraid that I would be in the same situation.

I shook my head, trying to give up these messy thoughts. But the more I wanted to give up, the more these thoughts kept coming to my mind.

Suddenly I remembered the exercises taught by the old Taoist priest, which have the effect of calming the mind and increasing physical strength. I have been busy training ever since I learned it and have not yet practiced it.

So he sat in horse stance and began to practice according to the old Taoist's mental methods.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect or a real effect, but Zhao Yun actually forgot about the troubles that Bolt had brought him, and his brain felt a little clearer. And the slight soreness from yesterday's game was gone.

The three members of the coaching staff stared at Zhao Yun's amazing move, not knowing what he was doing.

Zhao Dehan watched for a while and understood what was going on. Zhao Yun was under pressure. Bolt put too much pressure on Zhao Yun, so much so that his mentality was out of control. He was adjusting himself.

This was not a matter of Bolt's false start. The ultimate reason for the problem was that Zhao Yun wanted to win too much. His opponent was too strong, and he was not sure he could win. He thought that if he had a little problem, he would be defeated. This caused his mentality to be unbalanced.

After all, the pressure of Bolt's glorious history is not something that other athletes can bring to him.

This is momentum! Invisible and intangible!

Zhao Dehan pulled Wang Zijie aside and whispered his opinion in his ear. Wang Zijie was stunned at first, then looked at Zhao Yun and nodded.

When Zhao Yun was completely immersed in his world of ecstasy, the tournament organizers announced the first group of players to compete.

The first group of players warmed up and adjusted their equipment.

The referee fires the gun!

The first group of athletes in the men's 200m preliminaries begins!

At the beginning of the race, the veteran American champion Spielmon showed his confidence in this track, and he was very smooth in the straight line. In the final straight acceleration stage, he was not overtaken and finally won the first place in Group A.

The second place went to Canadian runner De Grasse, and the third place went to South African genius Van Niekerk, who had just run a historic time of 43 seconds in New York.

The first group of athletes left the field, and the second group of athletes led by Bolt began to appear.

There was thunderous applause when Bolt came on the stage.

Bolt's face was solemn, and he was determined to show his dominance in the 200-meter track.

on your marks!

set!

Game start!

Bolt's reaction and acceleration today were also very fast. It seemed that he was fully prepared for this competition. He ran at 80% of his ability in the early stage, but he could relax later. After turning into the straight, Bolt began to relax and enjoy the applause from the audience. The athletes behind him tried their best, but they could not catch up with Bolt's slowed pace.

Bolt ran 20.45 seconds with ease to win first place in the group.

Second place went to his old rival Justin Gatlin.

Third place went to Grenada’s talented athlete, Kirani James.

Next up was the men's 200m track and field qualifying third group competition. After the third group competition started,

The running style of American runner Maurice Mitchell is exactly the same as Dicks, with a tight body and fast movements, but the range of motion is not large. He runs faster and faster like an olive tree running in the wind. Especially in the last straight stage, his running style of continuous output lays the foundation for his stability.

In the end, Mitchell won the first place in the group with 20.54, Oyamanla won the second place with 20.59, and Akanisibini won the third place with 20.62.

The third group of players left the venue one after another, and the fourth group of players came on stage to warm up.

The fourth group of athletes represented the hope of Europe, the white athlete Lemaitre. This athlete, who started to gain fame in the London Olympics, was given too much hope.

His appearance was also greeted with jubilant applause and cheers, which was no less than that of Bolt.

The race started, and after the start, Flilo's acceleration was relatively fast.

Lemaitre was in the seventh lane. He was a little shaky in the corners. Being a big guy, it's easy to show that he lacks strength. He was getting stronger and stronger in the latter part of the race. His stride was exactly the same as Usain Bolt's. He ran the last 50 meters in a way that was almost like a stride jump. His technical characteristics were very different from those of ordinary white athletes. His stride was very large.

In the end, Lematre won the first place in the fourth group thanks to his acceleration in the latter part of the race.

The second place went to Makawala. Because he was in the second lane of the race, the centrifuge for acceleration in the curve was particularly large, and he almost ran out when entering the straight road from the curve.

Quinonez finished third.
