In this group, except Xie Zhengye’s 21.31s, he was first.
American player Kieran Brick, 21.36s, second in the group, Big Q advanced.
Poland's Thomas was third with a time of 21.43s.
Sam Watts, a player from Kitty Eagle Country, ranked fourth with a time of 21.50s.
South Africa's Johannes de Klerk ranked fifth with a time of 21.52s.
Japanese player Kazunari Katsuyama, sixth, 21.69s.
Maple Leaf player Marlon Ledlow Allen ranked seventh in 21.93s.
Puerto Rico's Carlos Rodriguez was last, with a time of 22.01s.
…
After seeing Xie Zhengye advance successfully, Huang Xiang felt a little... shocked.
A doubt echoed in Huang Xiang's heart:
Why was he not affected at all? Instead, he ran better and faster in the race?
In China, he is not his opponent at the same level.
This is not an exaggeration. Huang Xiang and Xie Zhengye have competed. Basically, Xie Zhengye met him in China last year and this year, and he was blown away.
Even though he has made rapid progress recently, Huang Xiang's results actually don't look particularly good. He couldn't even open in 21 seconds, and he couldn't compete with him. However, this situation is domestic. If it is abroad, Huang Xiang cannot display his strength within 21 seconds. This world junior championship is the best example. His strength is obviously better than Xie Zhengye, and his hard power is even worse. He is one of the strongest in the World Junior Championships, but his results are getting worse every game.
No matter how strong you are, no matter how good you are in training, if you can't show it in the game, it means nothing.
Xie Zhengye's domestic and training results are worse than yours, but he is better than you in international competitions, which is enough to receive greater attention. Because in the end, athletes, especially track and field athletes, still participate in international competitions at home and win glory for the country.
No matter how good the country is, it doesn’t mean that much.
It may even attract ridicule.
After the third group ended, all the big Qs and 2 small Qs from the six groups that finally entered the competition came out.
Xie Zhengye, Kieran Brick, Keilani James, Alberto Gabalda, Derek Dukes, Leandro Araujo. As well as Poland's Thomas and Kitty Eagle's Sam Watts, eight other people entered the finals. Xiao Q is all in Xie Zhengye's group, which is enough to show that Xie Zhengye's group's semi-final first place is not easy to win.
It has real strength.
"Then audience friends, please wait on time tomorrow for the 200-meter final. Xie Zhengye, a Chinese athlete who has just turned 16, will wait and see whether he can win a medal in the final." After Yang Jian finished speaking, the TV station started broadcasting Advertised.
…
In the evening, Xie Zhengye and others had a meeting together. It was obvious that the team bias in the World Junior Championships had shifted since the start of this game.
Huang Xiang was the No. 1 seed in sprinting before, but now that he has been eliminated, regardless of whether it was due to poor performance or mental problems or other factors, he is eliminated anyway, and the team's focus must be adjusted. Obviously, the 200-meter race began to shift to Xie Zhengye. Although Zou Zhenxian was optimistic about Xie Zhengye's potential before, he still focused on Huang Xiang in the main gold and medal winning event in the 200m.
You can't say there's any problem with this, because you see that Huang Xiang ranks first in terms of hard power, and his PB is much higher than Xie Zhengye's. If you say you won't give him the main core position, who will you give it to? The only one who can do it is an aspect that the track and field team has been promoting.
But now that Xie Zhengye has entered and Huang Xiang has been eliminated, the criterion will be based on who enters the finals.
"Tomorrow's competition, Xiao Xie, what do you think? Do you have the confidence to compete for a medal?" Zou Zhenxian asked, although he knew that this might still be a bit difficult for someone who has just turned sixteen. Teenagers The thing is, a year's physical growth is a qualitative change. Compared with Huang Xiang, who is more than one year older, Xie Zhengye is indeed a bit more "child".
Xie Zhengye has not started to put on much weight yet. Although the basic training has continued, it is obvious that the main task of greatly improving his physical fitness has not yet begun. So it looks a little "thin"...
Um?
This was also the first time that Zou Zhenxian took a good look at Xie Zhengye. After all, he was the leader of the World Junior Championships and had to take care of so many people and athletes. Those who had no chance of winning medals were definitely not his focus. It's not that he doesn't want attention, but as a person he really has limited energy and must focus on sports and athletes that can help the country win medals.
After taking a good look at him for the first time, he discovered that this boy named Xie Zhengye had a close look and realized that his figure was not "thin" at all. It is completely different from the common impression that fifteen or sixteen-year-old athletes are extremely thin.
Although he is not very strong, the muscle lines on his body are extremely clear, and he is taller than Huang Xiang, which makes him look more "visually slender". However, when you look closely, you can see that he is not "skinny" at all, but rather has "muscular lines" for someone of his age.
"Ah? Director Zou, are you asking me?" Xie Zhengye obviously thought that he was a "little transparent" who had just followed here, and that he had nothing to do with him during the meeting. Unexpectedly, the situation had changed.
"Yes, let me ask you." Zou Zhenxian said with a smile, looking very kind.
"Well, let me tell you." This is the first time that Xie Zhengye has received so much attention in the national team. Although it is only the World Junior Championships, this is also the first time that he wears the national team uniform with the word "China" on it.
"I think..." After thinking for a while, Xie Zhengye looked at Ning Dehai and saw that the latter had nothing to tell him. He felt confident that it would be better to tell the truth, so he said, "Champion. "
"I think if I work harder, I won't have too many problems winning the championship." After Xie Zhengye finished speaking, he looked at Ning Dehail again. He still received a non-negative look, and he became a little more courageous.
"After all, we haven't won the sprint event championship at the World Junior Championships yet." Xie Zhengye said: "I went to get the things that Mr. Su and Brother Gou Huan didn't do. One is missing. I always feel that our track and field team is missing. Order something.”
"Right, Director Zou."
But after he finished speaking, the entire conference room was quiet for a long time.
Xie Zhengye was stunned and a little panicked. Could it be that what he... said was not strong enough?
Thinking about those heroic words that Su Shen once said, Xie Zhengye paused, cheered himself up again, and said: "Maybe I should remove this 'should'. I came here just to have a domestic game with Huang Xiang." Derby, since Huang Xiang has been eliminated, don't fight for it, just win the championship."
Zou Zhenxian:......
The first sentence was enough to shock him.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhengye wanted to win the championship as soon as he opened his mouth, without even considering the lower limit of medals.
Secondly, the second sentence he added made him don't know how to speak.
It turns out that people who think "should" are being modest. Are they determined to win this championship?
Zou Zhenxian looked at Ning Dehai. Ning Dehai did not speak or deny, but just sat silently.
This is actually...default.
Holy shit.
This pair of master and disciple is amazing.
Are you all so confident?
…
But whether it can be done or not depends on the specific game performance.
There are many people who talk big words. Look at Huang Xiang's head coach. He was very proud and confident at the beginning.
It’s a good thing that today’s post-90s generation are so confident, but if there is no strength to back them up, problems can easily arise.
But as Ning Dehai, Xie Zhengye's head coach, when she heard these words, she acted like a Bodhisattva and said nothing. Then there was no need for Zou Zhenxian to boost the enemy's morale and destroy his own prestige before the game. After all, Huang Xiang has been eliminated now. I hope Xie Zhengye is the only one. If he can do it...
He is even the youngest 200m champion in the history of the World Junior Championships.
this.
Is it really possible?
Is it really something that a fifteen-year-old boy could do just a few dozen days ago?
With a dubious attitude, the game started the next day. Zou Zhenxian came to the scene in person and watched the game from the sidelines.
Although there is no hope of winning the gold medal in the other events, he knows very well that if he can win the sprint event, its influence and gold content will be of extremely great significance to the entire world junior track and field team. The key is, if you do it, you will be the youngest gold medalist.
From now on, the gold medal in the World Junior Championships will belong to flower growers.
The youngest 200-meter gold medal record in the World Junior Championships will also belong to a flower grower.
For gold medals, except for Su Shen, a super genius who has suddenly emerged, we have not been able to win many world-class competitions, even for youth competitions below U20. 200 meters, don’t even think about it.
If Xie Zhengye can do it, it will also prove that we flower growers also have enough potential to compete with the world's masters at 200 meters.
"Coach Ning, you have brought so many talents with you. Can you give me an idea of how true or false what Xiao Xie said yesterday?" This is the psychological expectation and room left by Zou Zhenxian for himself. Who would have known that Ning Dehai just said one sentence——
"Very true."
Zou Zhenxian:…………
The mineral water I just drank almost choked out of my nose.
You two, master and disciple, did it on purpose, right?
Are they all so "good at talking"?
Above the stands, the Flower Planters sprint team, which had participated in the World Championships in Berlin, were watching the competition.
"I didn't expect Huang Xiang to be so fragile and didn't even enter the finals."
"Doesn't this give our family a chance? If we give it a try, maybe the bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle."
"You wouldn't think that Aye, who just turned 16 this year, can win the gold medal in the World Junior Championships."
"Xiao Tian, what do you think? Do you think it can be done?"
After hearing this, Su Shen looked at Xie Zhengye who was moving below and said, "I think..."
"It's not like there's no chance."
"But if you want to win the championship, I'm afraid you need to have the strength to compete within 21 seconds or even within 21 seconds."
There was something Su Shen didn't say, but he knew in his heart that it was because the wind speed this time was a headwind of nearly one meter.
The original champion drove hard for 21 seconds with all his strength, directly opening up the second place behind, with a gap of nearly three meters.
The gap of three meters, in sprinting, 200 meters is also a sprint event, you know what this concept is.
One meter is several levels ahead.
Three meters...
It can only be said to be a massacre, which is equivalent to crushing.
He is also looking forward to whether Xie Zhengye can rise to this level in the hands of Ning Dehai during this period.
The answer will be revealed soon.
…
On the runway, Xie Zhengye was already standing on the runway.
This time, compared with the first two shots, he finally got an excellent position.
The fourth way.
It is considered a golden level and is very suitable for achieving results in competitions.
Xie Zhengye's running method is actually not suitable for inner Taoism. This is true whether it is this life or the previous life.
But generally speaking, unless you are very unlucky and have good grades, you will not be ranked among them. Of course, the facts in the previous life proved that Xie Zhengye's luck was indeed not good.
But as long as the hard power increases, there is no need to care about this.
As long as the finals are good enough.
China Sports Channel.
"Hello, viewers, this is China Sports Channel, this is China Sports Channel, I am Yang Jian."
"I am Yang Yaozhu."
"Welcome everyone to continue watching the men's 200m final of the World Junior Championships today."
"The first line is Sam Watts, a player from Kitty Eagle Country." Yang Jian introduced: "Sam Watts, a player from Kitty Eagle Country, advanced to the semifinals with a score of 21.50s. His career 200m PB and SB were both semifinals. Finished, all 21.50s.”
"I think he has no way to achieve results today. The track is not good, and I saw his first two shots. In fact, his level is not very high. He is trying his best." After Yang Yaozhu finished speaking, Yang Jian continued. :
"The second lane is Poland's Thomas. Thomas's semifinal score is 21.43s. The PB and SB he has set so far in his career were both set in the last semifinal. It seems that the World Junior Championships is indeed the best breakthrough for these young people. The stage.”
"The third channel Grenada player Keilani James, his semi-final qualifying score is 21.23s, which is also the best qualifying score to reach the final so far. James' personal PB is currently 21.18s, and SB is also 21.18s. This time Obtained in the preliminaries of the World Junior Championships." Yang Jian said: "It can be seen that this player still has strong strength and spare power. He has obvious final strength in every game. Originally, he and Huang Xiang both won this time. One of the favorites to win the championship.”
"Kilani James was born in the 400 meters. His specialty is strong endurance, but his speed is not an advantage." Yang Yaozhu analyzed: "At this point, if Chinese player Xie Zhengye wants to duel with him, it will not be Weak. After all, 200 meters is not such a long endurance test. What is more needed is a comprehensive test of speed and endurance. However, in order to be safe, it is best not to be too far ahead of Xie Zhengye. However, Keilani James has never run 100 meters. Mi, looking at the segmented data from the front, it is not particularly fast. As long as the front is supported, Xie Zhengye still has an advantage in the back."
Yes, pure endurance is obviously not as popular as speed endurance in 200 meters. For example, Zhou Bing has better endurance in 200 meters, but speed endurance is not enough. One is that the ability to maintain extreme speed is relatively good, and the other is the overall ability to maintain speed is relatively high. In the final showdown, it still depends on the final performance.
"The fourth course..." Yang Jian raised his voice as usual and said: "Flower grower, national youth 200m record holder, Xie——Zheng————ye!!!!!!!" !!!!!!”
When Xie Zhengye saw the live announcement coming to him, he didn't wave, but actually did a Saiyan aeration action. He was really a comic book fan. Of course, this also made many people understand instantly, and their own memories in their hearts were also activated at the same time.
Fifth Derek Dukes…
Xie Zhengye didn't listen much after that.
All he wants now is...
Win the championship.
Tell the world that in the Su Shen family, in addition to Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan, Lao Yi, Zhang Peimeng, Zhou Bing and others, there is also a new person named Xie Zhengye.
The bonus of one big stage is better than countless small stages.
Xie Zhengye has never forgotten Su Shen's words. Now, he is about to show himself.
Help the flower grower win the first sprint event in the World Junior Championships and go home.
PS: There is one more update~~~~~~~~ I’ll ask for votes after I finish writing it. My computer has been having some problems recently, so I’ll try to restore it to see if it feels better.
