Chapter 511 Third place in the preliminaries

The relay race is really a very uncertain game. The first three bats of the US team played normally, but there was a mistake when the fourth bat was handed over. The third baton Patton is about to enter the final process of handing over the baton to Guy. Guy has already started running, and his hands have been stretched back, but the strength that Patton gave to the baton is a bit light, and Guy just held it. Dun let go of his hand, but the stick fell to the ground unceremoniously. Behind him, Patton jumped up and down, but Guy saw that the situation was over, so he didn't pick up the stick again, but ran forward. After a few steps, they stopped, and their wish to compete with the Jamaica team in the final was ruined!

The U.S. team was not the only one that made mistakes in handing over the baton. Nigeria, the number one sprinter in Africa, happened to be right next to the U.S. team. There was a batting error and the game was forfeited.

However, this can only be regarded as the beginning. After the first group of matches, the referee looked back at the video, and South Africa, Poland and Brazil were successively sentenced to fouls because they failed to complete the baton handover in the designated area or ran out of bounds. In the end, only three teams from Trinidad and Tobago, the Netherlands and Japan had results in the first group. Trinidad and Tobago came first in the group, while Japan and the Netherlands finished second and third respectively.

In fact, the strength of the Japanese team and the Dutch team must be at the bottom of this group. Except for the Polish team, the eliminated teams are much stronger than the Japanese and Dutch teams.

The performance of the first group is also very good news for the national team. The elimination of the US team and the Nigerian team means that there are two extra spots. .

There are only three teams in the first group with results. Counting the eight teams in the second group that have not yet participated, there are still 11 teams left. qualify for the finals. Even if they don't finish fifth, if their score is higher than that of Japan and the Netherlands, they can still advance to the final with their total score of eighth.

At this time, the players of the national team are full of confidence, because over the years, the Japanese team is no longer the number one sprint power in Asia. In the men's 4x100m event, the Chinese team has repeatedly defeated the Japanese team. With Zhang Guan, it is inevitable to run faster than the Japanese team.

As for the bottom team, the bottom team in the second group is not difficult to find, because the Thai team is in the second group. The Thai team will definitely not be able to beat the Chinese team, so the national team's promotion form at this time can be said to be very good.

In the second group, in addition to the Chinese team, there are also the Jamaica team, the British team, the Canadian team, the Italian team, the German team, the French team and the Thai team. There is no doubt that Jamaica is the strongest and Thailand is the weakest. Great Britain is the defending champion of this event, second only to Jamaica and the United States in strength. Canada and Italy are also teams that are capable of winning medals, especially the Canadian team, which was also trained by the American team. black players. Germany's comprehensive sports strength is strong, but the strength of the French team this year is relatively average.

If there is no accident, the Thai team will definitely be at the bottom. As long as the other teams run faster than the Japanese team, they will all be able to advance.

After the gunshots sounded, Hu Kai, the first runner, started very smoothly. He is the 100-meter runner whose strength is second only to Zhang Guan among the domestic players. Although there is still a big gap from the world-class players, compared with the players of the Thai team , but it was much stronger, so in his first shot, the Chinese team won the overtaken Thailand team.

Although the second-best Zhang Peiming has not yet ushered in his peak, but he can run to 10 seconds in the future. And successfully led the French team.

The subsequent third baton was the weakest part of the Chinese team, and his main task was to pass the baton steadily to Zhang Guan. After receiving the baton, Zhang Guan surpassed the Italian team in just a few steps.

The Italian team is also full of black players. Compared with Asian players, these black players are definitely stronger, but compared to Zhang Guan, they can only be regarded as five scumbags. Unsuspectingly surpassed by Zhang Guan, the fourth batter of the powerful Canadian team couldn't keep his position.

Generally speaking, the strength of the fourth-ranked athlete should be the strongest, and the fourth-ranked runners in these countries also have the strength to run within 10 seconds, which can be regarded as top runners, but within 10 seconds for 100 meters The difference between Zhang Guan's time and Zhang Guan's world record of 9.56 seconds is too far. Zhang Guan can easily surpass them without exerting all his strength.

Zhang Guan surpassed three players in a row, and the Chinese team was already in the third position. In the end, amidst the cheers of the audience, Zhang Guan and the British team crossed the finish line hand in hand.

Although the final results have not yet come out, the Chinese team is either second in the group or third in the group, and it is inevitable to advance to the final.

At this time, the referee began to check the footage of the game, and found that the British team Dvornish ran on the track of the Jamaica team at the last start, so the British team was disqualified, and the Chinese team became second in the group without any suspense. Subsequently, the Italian team was also observed to have a shot of stealing the runway, so their results were cancelled.

Although the situation of the second group is much better than that of the first group, only six teams have achieved results.

Seven of the sixteen participating teams failed to score due to fouls, which is also rare in the history of the Olympic Games. According to the current situation, only the Thai team has been eliminated among the nine teams with results. However, the Brazilian team, which was sentenced to a foul in the first group, appealed to the conference. In the end, they were lucky to appeal successfully. The Brazilian team squeezed out the French team and advanced to the final of the relay race.

The athletes of the two groups are ranked according to their results. The Jamaica team is undoubtedly the first in the preliminaries, Trinidad and Tobago ranks second in the preliminaries, and the Chinese team ranks third in the preliminaries. Canada, Germany, Brazil, Japan and the Netherlands. These eight teams will advance to the 4x100m final.

This result made the audience ecstatic. Before the game, everyone generally believed that it was enough for the national team to enter the final, but now it seems that there is hope for a medal. If you finish third, you can get a bronze medal.

You must know that 4 x 100 meters is a team event in track and field. For domestic athletes, it is not easy to win an Olympic medal in an individual event, and a medal in a team event is even more unthinkable. The former national team is still working hard for the right to participate in the track and field team events, but now they can look forward to medals. Medals for such weak and group events have even more gold content than gold medals for strong events.

Of course, this is mainly because the US team and the British team have been eliminated. If the US team and the British team both advance, other countries will definitely not need to count on medals.
