On the evening of August 22, 2008, the Bird's Nest Stadium was brightly lit. Although the Olympic Games were coming to an end, the enthusiasm of the audience did not diminish at all, but became even more enthusiastic.
All of this is naturally due to the achievements of our athletes.
Especially in the track and field event, all three gold medals that everyone attached great importance to before the game were collected, making Liu Yuxiang and Su Feng's reputations soaring, no athlete or star can compare.
And now, Su Feng's last game in the Olympics is about to begin. Although he knows that there is little hope of winning the championship, it has long been expected. Everyone has automatically adjusted their goals, which is the Olympic relay silver medal, which is also the Olympic men's track and field event.
An unprecedented honor!
As for the reason why it is impossible to win the gold medal, it has been popularized by various experts more than once in the past few days.
The Jamaican team has excellent skills, but the Chinese team has limited advantages in this regard.
However, the individual strength of the Jamaican team is beyond the reach of the Chinese team.
The Chinese team has Su Feng's stick, which can almost balance out the advantages of the top three sticks of all other teams against the Chinese team.
With the exception of Team USA and Jamaica.
The US team has been eliminated and will not be discussed.
But Bolt alone in the Jamaican team is enough to defeat Su Feng.
The rest of Powell, Card, etc. all scored within 9.80 seconds and 9.90 seconds. What should the Chinese team compare with?
At 8:20 pm, the relay athletes began to enter the stadium, and the whole audience began to get excited.
The Chinese team ranked fourth. When the four members of the Chinese team entered the stadium, the entire Bird's Nest naturally burst into deafening cheers and applause.
The excitement and anticipation are beyond words.
"How's it going? You're not nervous this time, are you?" The four of them appeared together and had not separated yet. Su Feng put his arms around the shoulders of the three of them and asked.
"Much better, Su Feng, can you stop mentioning that thing all the time? If it is your first time to take on such a big responsibility, the situation may not be any better than ours." Zhang Peimeng and Su Feng have the best relationship. At this time
He said helplessly sarcastically.
"That's right," the other two people naturally joined Zhang Peimeng in a united front and immediately agreed.
"It seems that you are all fine. Then perform well. Our goal is the silver medal. We must not let Japan and Trinidad and Tobago take away the silver medal." After saying this, Su Feng's voice changed.
It had to be loud and serious.
"Okay" the three of them said in unison, now that we are here, what else can we do if we don't give it a try?
The country has been raising athletes for decades. Among the four of them, except Su Feng, who is an international superstar, the rest of them are also considered successful in the country. Maybe they only have one or two opportunities to participate in the Olympics for the country. Now it is time for the finals.
There is a high probability of winning the silver medal, so how can they back down!
"Okay, let's get ready." Su Feng carefully looked at the expressions of several people and found that their morale was indeed high and their military morale was ready, so he nodded.
The relay race was quite chaotic. When Su Feng walked to his position, he passed a few familiar faces.
Powell, Chaohara Xuanji, and Su Feng nodded one by one. Some of the other parties responded, and some did not. They didn't know what they were thinking, but Su Feng ignored them.
Arriving at the starting line of the fourth leg, Su Feng waved to the audience again, and then looked at the race configurations of the two opponents, Jamaica and Japan.
The four-member Jamaican team consists of Carter as the first player, Flatt as the second player, Powell as the third player, and Bolt as the fourth player.
The four-member Japanese team consists of Naoki Tsukahara in the first position, Shingo Sutsuzu in the second position, Shinji Takahira in the third position, and Nobuharu Asahara in the fourth position.
The formation of the Japanese team has not changed much compared to history. There is no problem with the fastest Nobuharu Asahara against the Chinese team and the fast Su Feng.
The formation of the Jamaican team is slightly different, with Bolt and Powell swapping bat positions. The meaning is also obvious. Only by letting Bolt play against Su Feng can people feel reassured.
"CCTV, CCTV, are now explaining to you the upcoming finals of the men's 4x100m competition. Now eight of the world's strongest relay teams have stood on the starting line.
The eight teams are the Brazilian team in the second lane, the Japanese team in the third lane, the Trinidad and Tobago team in the fourth lane, the Jamaican team in the fifth lane, the Chinese team in the sixth lane, and the Dutch team in the seventh lane.
The British team in the eighth lane and the German team in the ninth lane.
Now the top player is making final preparations. We can see that the young men of the Chinese team are in very good spirits today, with light and agile movements and no longer the stiffness of yesterday.
Yesterday, according to our post-match interview, several members of the Chinese team, except Su Feng, were suddenly noticed by so many people, so they were under too much pressure. However, in the end they resisted the pressure and ran excellent results.
But according to the head coach of the track and field team, that is not the full strength of the Chinese team. The condition of the players greatly affects the performance.
Due to the unexpected elimination of the United States team, the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in this competition is the Jamaican team. However, given the overall strength of the Jamaican team, it may be very difficult for the Chinese team to win.
Next are Trinidad and Tobago and Japan, but for these two opponents, if the Chinese team can exert its full strength, it should have a high chance of beating them."
"On your marks!" As Yang Jian explained, the sound of everyone's position sounded on the field. The eight first-place runners all got on the starting block. The audience in the auditorium immediately fell silent, looking forward to the start of the game.
arrival.
"Set!" The eight contestants made final preparations.
"Crack!"
"The game begins!"
“At the start, the fastest starting reaction was Carter of the Jamaican team, followed by Zhang Peimeng, whose starting reaction was 0.130, which is already an extremely excellent starting reaction.
Zhang Peimeng accelerated, and he was not left behind in the first 30 meters or 50 meters. However, as various players exerted their strength, Zhang Peimeng gradually fell to the third position.
The first runner now is Carter from Jamaica!
Eighty meters, ninety meters, entering the relay area, handing over the baton smoothly.
After the baton handover was completed between Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, the Chinese team also completed the baton handover at an undiminished speed without losing any time.
Now the baton is handed over to Chen Zhilong. Chen Zhilong is not as fast as Zhang Peimeng. Behind him is the Japanese team's 200-meter famous player Shingo Suetsugu. The distance is gradually getting closer. At 60 meters, Shingo Sutsutsu has surpassed Chen Zhilong. The baton is handed over to Chen Zhilong.
Leave it to Liu Yu, who is third in charge!
It can be seen that the first few teams, except for Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Chinese team and the Japanese team, the handover of the baton by these teams is almost perfect, and every handover will not be given to other teams.
Chances are, it will actually create a little distance.
At this time, the Chinese team was ranked fourth, with a gap of more than one meter from the third-placed Japanese team.
Liu Yu is the weakest player in the Chinese team now, but he is also running hard. At 60 meters, the gap between the two has reached more than 1.5 meters. At 90 meters, when they enter the relay zone, the Chinese team is still in fourth place.
The position is nearly two meters away from the Japanese team, nearly three meters away from the second-ranked Trinidad and Tobago team, and nearly six meters away from the Jamaican team!
At this time, the baton comes to Su Feng's hands, can he catch up?"
Not only Yang Jian, but also the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, both at home and abroad, are paying attention to this issue at this time.
Bolt probably doesn't have to think about it, but can Su Feng once again stage a speed storm and surpass Trinidad and Tobago and Japan?
"Su Feng's speed suddenly increased after taking over the baton. Su Feng came on, Su Feng was accelerating, with unparalleled acceleration ability. At 50 meters, Su Feng had already surpassed Nobuharu Asahara, and the Chinese team's medal was stable.
At 80 meters, Su Feng's speed had reached its peak, and he instantly passed Trinidad and Tobago's fourth leg. The Chinese team's runner-up position was also stable, and it was impossible to be chased back.
But at this time, the distance between Su Feng and Bolt was still almost six meters.
Ninety meters, ninety-five meters, Bolt crosses the line, Su Feng crosses the line.
The Chinese team, the Chinese team finished second and won China's fourth medal in the short track event.
With three gold medals and one silver medal, the Chinese short track team produced a satisfactory answer.
Although the final silver medal was a bit regrettable, we should have seen, or had expected, that the powerful Jamaican team cannot be defeated by the current Chinese team.
However, I believe that as track and field becomes more popular in China, and as the motherland becomes stronger and stronger, more and more track and field talents will emerge. As long as we keep working hard, sooner or later we will win the relay gold medal.
And through this game, we will be extremely convinced that that day will definitely come, and it is not far away.
