After 6-0 Weilin advanced to the second round as the top seed in their group, cheers erupted in every corner of the Bird's Nest Stadium.

"Liu Wei's two races this morning were fantastic. Although they were both preliminary rounds, he showed a lot of spirit, which is truly rare. If I remember correctly, in previous Olympic Games men's 100-meter races, our athletes have never advanced to the semifinals. Today, Liu Wei not only successfully advanced, but his performance, from the process to the result, was clean and decisive. Congratulations!"

Cui Dayong was also in high spirits at this time. In the past, when watching track and field competitions, many events could only be considered as appreciation. Since Liu Xiang emerged, everyone finally has someone who can win gold and silver medals.

The emergence of Liu Wei has given everyone hope for a breakthrough in Chinese athletics.

Poor Wang Qiao was panting heavily, as if he had only run 5 meters. He hadn't had a chance to breathe since the first start, and to make matters worse, Asahara Nobuharu played a trick on him, tactically false starting once.

Wang Qiao held his breath for a few more minutes because of this false start. He should be grateful that the current rules have changed so that if one player false starts, anyone else will be immediately disqualified.

If it were like in previous years, with a 1-meter final starting more than ten times, most of the athletes' legs would be weak by the time they finally succeeded.

He tried to breathe evenly so that no one else could see that he had become the object of everyone's amusement today, with everyone mocking him as a newbie at the Olympics.

The smooth transition to the first race was a huge psychological boost for Wang Qiao. Everyone has to rely on their own two legs to finish the race, no matter how strong they are. Opponents that Liu Wei could usually outrun had no problem today.

After constantly mentally preparing herself, Wang Qiao finally found a way to open up her heart, and immediately felt much more at ease.

"It's true that Liu Wei has the ability, but we shouldn't be blindly optimistic. After watching the previous groups of races, you should have noticed a pattern: the strong athletes are all holding back. Apart from Liu Wei, none of the other athletes can run under 10.15 seconds. Does that mean Liu Wei is a strong athlete? I don't think so. At least he can't do it yet."

Seeing how much enthusiasm everyone had shown, Yu Wei couldn't help but pour cold water on their hopes. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, especially when people are blinded by hope; this feeling is even more pronounced then.

Rather than that, it's better to lower everyone's expectations a bit.

"After all, it's the first competition. It's normal to lose control in the preliminaries. Even many seasoned veterans lose their composure at the Olympics. Just the other day, that air rifleman from the US team shot the target again. He could have won the championship with just a passable score. It's just a pity that the Olympics are not an ordinary competition."

What I want to say is that in such an important competition, any small detail that is not handled well can have a significant impact on the final result. You can only find your feel for competition control by playing more games.

While top-tier stars may unintentionally conserve some energy compared to Liu Wei, the match still needs to be fought shot by shot. In short, have faith in your players, but don't be blindly optimistic, and don't focus solely on the result.

Many people nodded in agreement after hearing Yu Wei's words, but it was unclear whether they truly understood or only vaguely understood.

Many people echoed the leader's speech, and Jiang Jianjun's smile was polite but perfunctory.

His thoughts seemed to suddenly fly to something very important, and with that thought, he called Wang Qiao over.

"I think Lao Yu was implying something earlier. Has anything happened these past two days? I feel like there's something else going on in his words, like he's trying to give us a mental boost. Think about it carefully, see if anything has happened these past two days?"

This sentence suddenly shifted Wang Qiao's thoughts to another area, and his enthusiasm for the competition diminished considerably: "Is everything alright? Oh! By the way, Liu Yangyu hasn't been training at the track and field for several days. When we asked, Coach Sun said he went to the General Administration of Sport's stadium for solo training, wanting to give the players a quieter environment. We thought it made sense, but later, when the driver, Lao Liu, was taking them, he seemed to have let something slip. At first, he said Liu Yangyu went to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but then he seemed to be possessed, getting nervous and mysterious, saying he had misremembered and went to the General Administration of Sport! Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that. Could it be?"

"Shh, don't say it! It seems this is what happened. It might be more serious than we thought. No wonder Lao Yu suddenly started giving us Buddhist advice! It's really a pity that our best player has health problems at the Olympics held on home soil!"

After Jiang Jianjun finished speaking, Wang Qiao felt that his mentor was indeed remarkable. Experienced people are indeed wise; he could keenly sense something was amiss simply by judging the content of his leader's words.

Although many people knew about this at the time, no one took it to heart. This is perhaps what Yu Wei just said: you can't be without confidence in a competition, but you can't be blindly optimistic either.

Since that's the case, we can only look for a solution. By the way, I wish Liu Feiren all the best.

The competition continued, and in Group 5, Gay dominated Nigeria's Fabasa from the start, despite Fabasa's formidable strength in the 60-meter event. However, against the world champion Gay, his ability was insufficient to defeat the veteran, and Gay ultimately won his group with a time of 10.22 seconds.

So far in the competition, all the top players have successfully advanced to the next round.

In Group 6, Shen Liang performed well in the early stages, but lost control of the pace in the later stages and was overtaken by three opponents, finishing only fourth in the group.

Although he didn't advance directly to the next round, Shen Liang's performance was still within the normal range; he ran 10.29 seconds.

The overall strength of this group is comparable to that of Liu Wei's group. Even though Shen Liang ran a time of 10.3 seconds, he still failed to qualify directly.

Whether they can advance to the semi-finals depends on the results of the remaining four groups.

With the appearance of star players, the strength of the later groups was noticeably weaker. Without top-notch players to lead the way, their overall performance also declined significantly.

After returning to the area where the Chinese Athletics Team was located, Shen Liang stood with his hands on the railing, watching the other groups' competitions.

Liu Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile; he could sense the torment in Shen Liang's heart.

At this point, nothing you say will make a difference. You have to experience and feel your own story yourself.

No one can help him emotionally, and no one can bear the torment for him; that's what growing up is all about.

第9小组的争夺变成了亚洲内战，卡塔尔的规划队员萨穆埃尔.弗朗西斯在7月跑出了9秒99的成绩，成为了亚洲既6威之后，第二位跑进1o秒的队员。

However, he had a slightly off day today, only managing a time of 10.42 seconds, placing second in his group. The group leader was Zhang Yuanteng, whose time was 10.26 seconds.

In the 10th group of the competition, the first place runner only ran a time of 10.35 seconds.

After seeing the overall results displayed on the electronic screen in the stands, Shen Liang's anxiety finally subsided. Besides the team members who directly qualified, he ranked fourth and also advanced to the semi-finals. He waved his arms vigorously: "It's the Olympics on my home turf! At least I've achieved something. Being eliminated in the first round would be too embarrassing. I'll give it my all this afternoon!"

All three members of the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals; none of them were left out.
