Moncton World Youth Championship.
Xie Zhengye has now completed a magnificent turn, and now more and more people are aware of him in this competition venue.
Especially when he defeated Japan's Iizuka Shota and killed a large number of people, everyone was surprised to find that this "little kid" was so strong.
Even many of the seeds who won the championship paid more attention to Xie Zhengye's performance after the semifinals.
Of course, if it can threaten yourself, I still don't think so.
After all, Xie Zhengye’s current PB is 20.72s. This result is neither good nor bad. In the junior group, he naturally dominates the crowd. No one can take it. But in the World Youth Championship, it is quite good, but you have to say How terrible it is, but not that bad. What's more, although Xie Zhengye went against expectations in the semi-finals and easily defeated Shota Iizuka, one of the favorites to win the championship, in the end, he only ran 20.86 seconds, and he ran 2.3 meters with a strong tailwind. This result is not an exaggeration. .
More people felt that this was just Shota Iizuka who lost Jingzhou because of his carelessness.
I underestimated my opponent too much, so I gave my opponent a chance.
Otherwise, the latter can run 20.58s even against the wind, which is not the case. Coincidentally, Shota Iizuka also came out for an interview under the arrangement of the Japanese track and field team————
I lost the game just because of my carelessness.
He admitted that he lost in the semi-finals, but this was just his careless self. If he had not been careless, an athlete with a score of 20.72s would not be much of a threat. After all, his headwind is greater than his.
When the Japanese media reported this, many people were naturally re-energized. It felt like it was just the semi-finals. When everyone is careless, it is better to be careless sooner than later. After some public relations operations by the team, it seems that the Japanese side has re-opened. Gained confidence.
I feel that Shota Iizuka was just careless, and the winner of this competition is still our little one.
Shota Iizuka also said that during the finals, he would let Xie Zhengye know what "adult strength" is.
Xie Zhengye almost exploded after hearing this. Now, he has completely recovered from his various tricks. Now that I see this little guy being so crazy after losing, I'm really... angry.
Ning Dehai looked at Xie Zhengye's anxious and angry look, and smiled and warned him: Keep this passion and mentality, and compete with this guy in the finals tomorrow to decide the outcome.
When Xie Zhengye heard this, he went to bed early in anger.
Prepare for tomorrow.
…
The next day, the Moncton World Youth Championship started again at the Moncton Stadium.
The venue has long been filled with spectators, and everyone is looking forward to who will win the 200-meter youth champion.
The 100-meter final was not well-attended this time. The top three were only 10.20+, which was far from the one in the Imperial Capital.
The first place in this session is also the same as his own performance. Throughout his career, he has been an "ordinary" level athlete.
Dexter Lee, height: 1.90 meters, weight: 85 kilograms, there is even an "urban legend" about him. It is said that after the World Athletics Games in Berlin, reporters traveled to Montego Bay, which is the second largest in Jamaica. City. Usain Bolt set two new world records at the World Championships in Berlin, and everyone is talking about it.
When the reporter walked around the ancient slave market, he couldn't help but ask the locals: Are there any other people in Jamaica who can run at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, eight times the walking speed of ordinary people?
"Yes, sir, his name is Dexter Lee," replied Talina, the cellphone seller.
"What? Has someone faster than Usain been born?"
"Of course sir, his name is Dexter Lee."
"He has great potential. If he continues to train hard and improve his performance, he will definitely become one of the best runners in the world in the future." Dexter's coach Claude Grant said. And I believe he will soon become the best in the world.
But you know, facing such rumors is similar to how awesome Kwame Brown was when he played basketball in high school, and how invincible Bynum was, but these only exist in "urban legends" and "low-level games."
In fact, he, who is known as "the man faster than Bolt", has never opened for ten seconds in his life, let alone surpassed Bolt. Not all tall people can't run well, and not all tall Jamaicans will become super runners.
Dexter Lee proves this. The main honors in his career are almost all concentrated in the U20 period.
On the contrary, the second-placed American player Charles Salmon has reached the ten-second mark in the future, but his achievements only stopped in college.
The one with real potential is third place, French athlete Jimmy Vicott, who just started running in 10.28s. He will be the European 100m record holder in the future. He has even broken ten in six or seven consecutive seasons, which has become the norm. Those who break ten are a stable group.
But now, no one thinks that Vicott is better than the previous ones. Only Su Shen was asked and expressed his cautious optimism for this 1992 young player. Even so, Vicott, who had just won third place, was immediately moved and tweeted three times in a row to a few people————
Red Lightning praised me! Said he was optimistic about me! The mood suddenly turned from rainy to sunny!
Years later, when Vicott became the European record holder, he was asked about this matter and kept saying, "It was Su who helped him when he doubted himself."
Sue is his "spiritual mentor" or something.
Although there were already more and more people claiming to be Su's "spiritual apprentices" at that time, Vicott still expressed his excitement.
At this time, it is an exciting thing for a young man of 17 or 18 to be favored by an industry giant.
Just like Xie Zhengye now, in addition to his own recognition, the source of self-confidence is also a skyrocketing aspect of the former's authoritative recognition.
After the men's 100-meter final, the 200-meter final began.
The eight finalists are:
Xie Zhengye, Iizuka Shota, Alexandre Linnick, Aaron Brown, Waid Van Niekerk, Robin Alleva, Pavel Maslak, Moriba Mo orchid.
Then comes the lane separation:
The first one is Pavel Maslak from the Czech Republic.
Moriba Moran from Trinidad and Tobago in the second lane.
In the third lane, South African player Vaid Van Niekerk.
In the fourth lane, Belarusian Alexandre Linnick.
Xie Zhengye, the youngest flower planting contestant in the fifth lane.
The sixth track is Japanese player Shota Iizuka.
Aaron Brown of the Maple Leaf Country plays at home in Lane 7.
Robin Alleva, the eighth Moral Will player.
It looks like an ordinary lineup, without the presence of monsters like Usain Bolt in previous years, but... in fact, there are many hidden talents in it. In addition to the third place in the 100 meters at this World Youth Championship, Willcott will be the regular ten-breaker in the future. This 200-meter race included the future Maple Leaf Country 200-meter national record holder, Aaron Brown, and a future world record holder.
This person is the third South African player Vaid Van Niekerk.
As long as you follow track and field, you will know that Van Niekerk ended Michael Johnson's 400-meter record that had been held for nearly 20 years.
Advance to 43 seconds 03.
He is also a representative figure of the future all-around king, breaking 10 in 100 meters, 20 in 200 meters, and even almost breaking 43 in 400 meters.
The rest of the OW honors are not to mention.
At that time, people gave him the nickname "All-in-One Speed King".
After all, he is the first track and field athlete in history to break 10 seconds for 100 meters, 20 seconds for 200 meters, and 44 seconds for 400 meters. This title is absolutely incompatible. He is also a standard mixed-race person, with black, white and yellow blood each accounting for about 30%.
He just started sprinting this year. Before, he mainly focused on high jump. This time he passed the 200-meter trials. Who would have thought that a sprinting all-around superman would stand here in the future.
However, Van Niekerk's legend begins later. Here, he is just an ordinary player.
Not even among the seeds to win the championship.
After all, his best time in the 100 meters only broke 10.60 seconds, his best time in the 200 meters has not been broken by 21 seconds, and he has not even started training for the 400 meters. The king also started as a little shrimp. This is especially true in the track and field world. Even Bolt is like this. He has lost countless times in the past. When he was growing up, no one was optimistic about him. At one time, he thought he was a "glass man".
And he is only less than 1.8 meters tall now, so he doesn't see much potential.
So much so that when he came out of the inspection area, no one paid any attention to him.
Only Xie Zhengye said after seeing him: "Brother, your shoelaces are loose, tie them tighter."
Van Niekerk, who was still a little shrimp, immediately thanked her fearfully, then leaned over and tied his shoelaces again.
Zhao Haohuan saw Su Shen looking in the direction of the third lane for a long time and asked curiously: "Is there anything special about that skinny black South African athlete?"
Zhou Bing is also here. There is no way he will not be present in the final. He is also very curious.
"This guy looks like a guy with amazing bones."
"Have you ever seen the most popular Internet battle? I feel like this guy has the attitude of fighting an emperor."
Zhao Haohuan:? ? ?
Zhou Bing:! ! !
"It's true or false, but no matter how I look at him, he is a very weak and inconspicuous guy." Zhou Bing looked at him for a long time, but he could only come up with this answer.
"I was just joking, why do you take it seriously?"
joke? Zhao Haohuan and Zhou Bing looked at each other and thought together:
You always say it as a joke, but we have never seen your predictions wrong about this kind of thing, when we were still "silly white sweets" in the sports school.
People will grow, okay?
"If he's so awesome, I'll have a chance to compete with him in the future." Zhou Bing secretly remembered the name.
The World Youth Championship is like this. Many people who seem to be inconspicuous now will really look like "emperors" in the future.
Of course, if you dominate all the way, you may also become the king.
There is no contradiction between the two.
Both only look at results.
At this moment, the electronic password began to sound.
The referee signals the players to start returning to their positions and prepare for the game.
How does a little shrimp grow into a giant?
The World Youth Championship is really a big stage.
It's a mule or a horse, come out and run around.
Whether it's lobster or dragon king, they all have to be boiling in the same pot.
"on your marks."
"set."
