Chapter 158 A boy with the same background as him
The next day, Wang Xiaoming went to the 200-meter check-in.

As soon as he arrived at the registration desk, he saw Lyles wearing a mask and squatting alone in a corner.

Judging from Lyles' condition, it seems that he has a cold, or perhaps some other reason.

However, Wang Xiaoming did not care too much about it. He knew in his heart that he had to give his all in this 200-meter final.

Since there is no hope of breaking Jamaica's relay record, the goal will be to break Bolt's 100m and 200m records.

During the registration, he chatted with Terberg for a few words.

Terberg is also a young player from a small country in Africa.

It is really not easy to stand on a stage like the Olympics.

His life is quite tragic. His father passed away when he was young, and his mother unfortunately passed away this year. Now he and his sister are the only ones left to depend on each other, which has had a great impact on his condition.

Otherwise, with his talent, his upper limit would definitely not be limited to this.

Wang Xiaoming is very optimistic about him. After all, both of them are the only athletes in their respective countries in the 200-meter event.

After experiencing the previous World Youth Championship, Wang Xiaoming has become much more low-key and no longer makes wild remarks before a game like he used to.

Terberg's personality is quite similar to his, both are calm people who are used to speaking with strength.

Wang Xiaoming and several other 200-meter finalists walked out together and arrived at the starting point of the 200-meter race.

At this time, the commentator was introducing the contestants of the 200-meter final to the audience. The most dazzling one among them was undoubtedly Wang Xiaoming.

As the world record holder for the 100-meter dash, as soon as Wang Xiaoming entered the stadium, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience seats, and the sound seemed to overturn the entire stadium.

Lyles did seem to be in poor condition, with his steps a little unsteady when he walked, but his movements when he came on the field seemed full of energy, jumping and skipping, as if he was trying hard to adjust his condition.

In this game, the one with the most outstanding strength was Kenny, who was called "headband brother".

In the previous competition, Kenny even suppressed Lyles, but Lyles later exerted his strength and overtook him in the later stages.

Kenny is well-known in the track and field world as the "strongest cashier". He always wins the silver medal in every world competition. His strength is very stable compared to others and he hardly makes mistakes.

There is also "Milk Shield", the strongest high school student in the United States. However, his current condition is getting worse and worse, and he has even been caught up in a doping scandal. He no longer has the strength to run 19.49 seconds.

Back then, he was a heroic boy. At the age of 18, he ran the 19.49 meters in an astonishing time of seconds. With this result, it would generally be no problem for him to win a medal in a world championship.

Lyles, a three-time World Championship gold medalist, has a best 19.31m time of seconds, ranking third in m history, and has a solid track record.

But in the 200-meter race at this Olympics, he seemed to be in poor condition and almost missed the silver medal in the 100-meter race, with his result being almost the same as Thompson's.

I wonder if he can overcome everyone's doubts and run at his best in the 200m final.

Originally, in the eyes of everyone, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Lyles would win the 200-meter championship. However, until Wang Xiaoming emerged and Lyles' condition continued to decline, the outcome of the championship became unpredictable.

Of course, in Wang Xiaoming's opinion, the most competitive among all the contestants is Terberg.

As an athlete from a small country like Botswana in Africa, you should know that most African athletes are good at long-distance running, and it is rare to see outstanding athletes in the field of short-distance running.

At the beginning of the year, Terberg ran the 300-meter race at the world's best time, although he was unable to achieve the same result again due to various factors.

But Wang Xiaoming felt that as long as Terberg could adjust his mentality, he should have no problem getting the silver medal, and the gold medal would naturally belong to him. Maybe the "cashier" Kenny, the "headband brother", would get the bronze medal this time.

In addition, Su Shen and Xie Zhengye also came to the scene. They were full of expectations and eager to witness with their own eyes the yellow race winning the gold medal in the 200-meter race and even breaking the world record.

Previously, Wang Xiaoming broke the 100-meter world record, which made them feel proud and proud.

In China, some people have been promoting the so-called "racial theory", claiming that yellow people can't outrun black people. In their view, this statement is simply absurd. Su Shen's 9.83 seconds and Xie Zhengye's 19.88 seconds strongly prove that yellow people can also achieve excellent results in the sprint field dominated by black people.

Now, Wang Xiaoming has broken this ridiculous "racial theory" and become the world record holder. Isn't this enough to prove that the physique of the yellow race is not inferior to that of other races?

If this can't change those people's views, then they really have nothing to say.

With Wang Xiaoming as a "catfish", it is expected that a new generation of sprinters will emerge in China.

The 10.06-meter event was okay. At least there was a domestic athlete with a personal best (PB) of 10.1 seconds, and his strength was stable at seconds, which was considered a good result.

If he works harder in the future, he might be able to break the ten-second mark. However, breaking ten seconds requires not only unremitting efforts, but also extremely high talent.

Looking across the country, over the years, only Su Shen and Xie Zhengye have achieved such results.

Even the island countries next to us have far more people running under ten times the 10-minute mark than our country. However, many of their results were achieved with the help of strong winds, and some of them do not actually have the strength to reach the standard of running under ten times the 10-minute mark.

But as long as the results are achieved within the legal wind speed, they will be recognized.

But when it comes to the 20.30-meter event, the gap between my country and the world's top level is not small. Xie Zhengye is the only one in the country who can run within seconds.

Everyone is looking forward to the emergence of Wang Xiaoming, which will in turn promote the growth of domestic 200-meter talents.

After all, Wang Xiaoming has the ability to compete for the gold medal.

However, Xie Zhengye's strength in the 200-meter event declined severely. He knew that he could not enter the finals in his current state. After much thought, he simply withdrew from the competition and focused his energy on the relay event.

After some complaints, the few people understood each other a little more and then continued to train.

On the training ground, the sounds of equipment colliding, footsteps, and panting are intertwined together, as if it is a symphony full of fighting spirit.

Wang Xiaoming naturally understood that the members of the relay team might have resentment towards him, but it was not the time to solve the problem yet. He thought to himself that he had to win the 200-meter gold medal first, and then he could better cooperate with his teammates in the relay event.

So he devoted himself to the 200-meter training.

Every time he started, he was fully focused, feeling every contact between his body and the track, trying to adapt his body to that extreme rhythm.

He knew very well that since he had vowed to win the 200-meter gold medal and the relay gold medal, he must not go back on his word and he would never give up the relay event.

After the results of the 200-meter semi-finals were announced, the Internet instantly became lively, and many netizens discussed on major platforms who would win a medal in the final.

According to the results of the semi-finals, Lyles was actually unable to outrun Terberg, a result that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Many people felt regretful that De Grasse missed the final, after all, everyone was expecting him to perform a wonderful scene of "stealing cards" in the final.

It has to be said that the competition in the 200m event of this Olympics was extremely fierce. However, in the semi-finals, the athletes seemed to be holding back and did not show their true strength, but mainly tried to make steady progress.

"Wang Xiaoming was able to run 19.46 seconds even though he let his guard down in the semi-finals. It seems like if he really does what he said before the game, winning the -meter gold medal will be a piece of cake," one netizen commented on the forum.

"The results of other players in the semi-finals were too far behind Wang Xiaoming's, all of them were close to 20 seconds. I really can't imagine how Wang Xiaoming could lose." Another netizen echoed.

"This 200-meter race feels boring. I don't know how Wang Xiaoming will lose."

Wang Xiaoming came to the starting line, squatted down, and carefully adjusted the starting blocks to ensure that every angle was accurate.

After adjusting himself, he slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to relax his body and mind.

Although the reaction time is not as critical for 200 meters as for 100 meters, he thought that any improvement is better.

Only by concentrating your whole body and mind when starting a race can you better listen to the gun.
