The athletes participating in the second group then finished their warm-up and stood behind the starting line.

The strongest member of this group is undoubtedly the world record holder, Usain Bolt. Standing on the competition field, his outstanding physical ability and height make him easily recognizable.

In addition, his relaxed and optimistic nature during the competition was also very endearing. After just one competition, the Chinese audience had already started to like him.

When the commentator introduced him, he playfully winked at the audience. The audience couldn't see this gesture, but the cameras captured it, and the applause for him naturally exceeded that for the other players.

"This guy is really good at interacting with the audience!"

Mr. Lu took a sip of tea with great interest, then stared intently at the television screen. Over the years, whenever he watched a game and it reached a crucial moment, he would unconsciously take a big gulp of tea as a way to relieve his tension.

The second group of races began, and the tall Bolt seemed more aggressive than in the preliminaries, not appearing as lazy at the start as he had in the previous race.

After a brief standoff with him, the other team members were all left behind.

When the race was around 80 meters in, his lead was already quite significant. Seeing that his lead was enough to secure first place in his group, Bolt started acting mischievously again.

He looked around, then strode forward and began waving to the audience before even reaching the finish line.

Having grown accustomed to serious competitive sports, Bolt was a breath of fresh air for the audience this time. Seeing him like this, the entire stadium erupted in applause and laughter.

"The results for this group are in. Jamaican world record holder Usain Bolt won the group with a time of 9.92 seconds. He has been in great form at this Olympics. Even with a ten-meter delay at the end, he still easily ran under 10 seconds. As a track and field fan, I am looking forward to his performance in the following races! I also hope that Liu Wei, who will be competing next, can also perform at his best."

Seeing Bolt's effortless and cheerful performance, the host Yang Li also became excited.

"This Bolt looks older than our Wei Wuxian, how come he hasn't had any plastic surgery at all!"

When Bolt's mother saw him making faces at the camera during the broadcast, she was both amused and exasperated.

“This is the kind of athlete who is truly skilled. Major competitions are all about an athlete’s mental fortitude and performance under pressure. This young man not only has excellent physical abilities but also a great mentality. It’s unlikely that he will collapse. His performance in competitions will largely reflect his training level.”

Seeing Liu Wei's father praising his opponent so much in Liu Wei's competition, Liu Wei's mother also pouted and said, "No matter how good they are, I just want to see Liu Wei achieve good results!"

The athlete who finished second in this group was American Davis Patton with a time of 10.04 seconds, while Portuguese naturalist Obikveru secured the third qualifying spot with a time of 10.09 seconds.

When the third group of team members appeared on the television broadcast, the entire audience immediately erupted in loud cheers.

"Dear viewers, I don't need to introduce him, you should be able to guess that Liu Wei has already entered the race. He is in lane 5 in this race. His main competitors in the same group are Mark Burns from Trinidad and Tobago, veteran Kim Collins from Saint Kitts and Nevis, Edgar from Great Britain, and Samuel Francis from Qatar, who also ran under 10 seconds this year."

The host quickly introduced the athletes appearing on the broadcast screen. This group also included Japanese veteran Nobuharu Asahara, but in everyone's eyes, his competitiveness was still clearly insufficient, and this match should be the end of his individual athletic career.

"Bolt ran so fast in the previous group, but actually there weren't any really strong opponents in that group. At least five of the team members in that group had a chance to advance. Our group of 6 Wei is not easy to compare with these two groups!"

The other athletes in the group showed none of the nervousness that the previous group had displayed when facing Bolt. In the broadcast footage, several athletes appeared visibly confident, standing tall and looking fearless.

On the track, the referee had already given the order to prepare. After all the athletes had their knees off the ground and had regained their balance, the referee fired the starting gun.

After the starting gun fired, Liu Wei still stuck his head out first. After this period of training, his starting condition was significantly better than in previous competitions. Despite being nearly 2 meters tall, he didn't raise his center of gravity too quickly at the start, but instead focused his force directly forward.

"Great, Liu Wei's start was fantastic!"

Standing in the stands, Jiang Jianjun couldn't help but sigh. This technical aspect is extremely difficult. Even for athletes with a "small but powerful" style, practicing this technique doesn't guarantee that all top athletes can use most of their energy for lateral acceleration at the start.

The biggest difference between Wei's starting action and his previous ones is this: in previous races, he would often take two steps ahead, but because his center of gravity rose too quickly, he would lose a lot of speed in the instant he got up.

After starting at 6, none of his teammates managed to overtake him quickly. However, Kim Collins in lane 4 and Mark Burns in lane 6 did not give him a significant lead, and the three remained almost level.

British players Edgar and Samuel Francis also stuck close to the three players in front of them.

This scene was very exciting for the audience, and almost all of them started screaming and cheering.

The five remaining races were still very close, making this the most competitive race since the start of the competition. After the race entered the 50-meter mark, Nobuharu Asahara and German athlete Tobias Engel fell behind and lost their chance to advance.

Then comes the later stages, where Liu Wei excels. At this stage, his speed is close to its peak, and the gap between him and other team members begins to widen.

Wang Qiao didn't even dare to blink at this moment, afraid that he might miss a detail of the game and by the time he came to his senses, Liu Wei would have been overtaken or even overtaken by others.

This has happened far too often in previous competitions. Just when everyone thought hope was within reach, Chinese sprinters suddenly experienced a precipitous collapse, leaving everyone with nothing but sighs of regret.

However, today Wang Qiao firmly believes that Liu Wei will not disappoint everyone. This is not only his subjective opinion, but also his recognition of Liu Wei's strength after more than a year of working together.

No matter the situation, he never let mental issues ruin his game. On the contrary, the stronger his opponent, the more resilient he became, and the better his results were.

In the final 20 meters, Liu Wei's ability to maintain his pace was clearly superior to that of the other competitors in his group. His long legs, combined with a stride frequency that was no less than that of the other team members, made his advantage stand out immediately.

It was clear that the team members behind him could no longer make a leap. When crossing the finish line, Liu Wei simply did not nod or touch the line; he just stood tall and ran across the finish line.

Except for a few steps before the finish line when his body carried him across the finish line with the previous momentum, Liu Wei had no time to slow down this time and completed the entire race with almost all his might.

"Great job! This kid's got guts, he withstood such a powerful impact!"

Wang Qiao roared to himself, clearly indicating that Liu Weibi had improved since their time in Osaka this year. Back then, he was overtaken by other team members at the start and only caught up in the last few dozen meters.

This time it was completely different. With his quick reaction time and skillful transitions, Liu Wei didn't give the other team members any chance to take advantage and suppressed the other opponents from beginning to end.

Especially since the opponents this time are the world's best sprinters. Although there are no top-tier opponents like Bolt, Powell, or Gay in the group, their strength should not be underestimated.

This was a victory achieved through sheer strength; Liu Wei completely overwhelmed his opponent by relying on superior power.

"Our Liuwei is so handsome! I wonder who has better results, him or Bolt!"

6. Mom was still recovering from her excitement when she spoke; 6. Wei's victory clearly put her in a good mood.

“Unless it’s the final, the results of other races can only be used as a reference. Bolt had a huge advantage just now. He ran 9.92 seconds even when he was relaxed for 10 meters. This is already Liu Wei’s best time. Even if Liu Wei’s time is faster, it doesn’t mean that he is stronger than Bolt. His opponent was just too far ahead. The results are in!”

就在6爸爸说话之际，电视屏幕了显示了1oo米复赛第3小组的成绩，6威的成绩是9秒95，第2名是特立尼达和多巴哥的马克.伯恩斯，他的成绩是1o秒o5，金.柯林斯的成绩是1o秒o7，这3个队员获得了直接晋级下一轮的资格。

除了晋级的3个队员，英国队员埃德加也跑了1o秒1o的成绩，就连卡塔尔的萨穆埃尔.弗朗西斯也跑出了1o秒11的成绩。

"Wow! This group is incredibly strong overall. Even the Qatari athlete who finished 5th in the group ran a time of 10.11 seconds. That time would have been enough to advance to the next round in the first two groups. Although the organizing committee tried their best to balance the strength of each group when they were drawn into the groups, this situation still occurred. The athlete with a time of 10.10 seconds is not guaranteed to make it to the semifinals, while the athlete with a time of 10.11 seconds is definitely not going to make it to the semifinals."

It must be said, the level of the Olympics is indeed very high!

This group's results were significantly better than the previous groups. This is because the group had a high number of players with similar abilities, which led to their collective achievement.

"Sigh... We, Liu Wei, tried so hard but still couldn't beat Bolt. How is he so amazing? Is Liu Wei's level such that he would rank somewhere in the final?"

Seeing that Liu Wei had given it his all, yet his results were still inferior to those of Jamaican Man who had finished the competition laughing and joking, Liu Wei's mother couldn't help but worry about her son.

"You don't need to worry about that. Even if you're not as skilled, a day or two of competition won't change anything. Besides, it's not certain where 6 Wei will finish in the semifinals. Let's take it one match at a time. Making it to the finals would be great!"

The father's realistic answer clearly didn't satisfy the mother. Just as she was about to retort, Liu Wei appeared on screen, and she completely forgot her earlier displeasure: "Look, my son is being interviewed!"

Dad breathed a sigh of relief. He had just lost his temper and violated the taboo of reasoning with his wife. Just as he was feeling uneasy, footage of Liu Wei's interview appeared on the screen.

In a pinch, a son is always the best!

"Good evening, viewers! I'm Xia Yuena, a sports reporter from CCTV. I'm very happy to bring you post-race interviews with the athletes. Let's interview Liu Wei, who just successfully advanced to the semifinals of the men's 100-meter race!"

After greeting the audience, Xia Yuena turned to Liu Wei: "Liu Wei, congratulations on successfully advancing to the semifinals of the men's 100-meter race. Did you think you could get this far before the race?"

When Wei saw him, he had already frowned. He remembered the scene at the World Championships where he was driven crazy by this reporter's question. It seems that this time he had done his homework, or it was the result of collective wisdom.

Upon hearing this question, Liu Wei's brows relaxed, and he tried to force a smile for the camera.

"Of course I've thought about it! It's not a big deal. If you haven't even thought about winning the championship, you're unlikely to achieve any good results. Even Shen Liang has thought about it, so why shouldn't I dare to think about it!"

"Let me ask you another question. The current world record holder, Bolt, ran 9.92 seconds today in a relaxed state. This time is the same as your best. Do you think you have a good chance of winning if you meet him?"

These two questions exceeded the expectations of television viewers, and they almost both hit the mark that viewers found most enjoyable.

"There are no ties in a sprint race. It's either me or him who wins. Of course, I think I will win. Even if he wins in the end, I believe the victory will not come easily!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Wei's answer was so assertive. In everyone's impression, Chinese players are generally humble and cautious. When faced with such a question, they should be expressing their shortcomings and learning from their opponents. Unexpectedly, Liu Wei wanted to find a confrontation.

However, this answer worked very well. Xia Yuena's eyes lit up immediately, which spoke volumes. She was completely captivated by Liu Wei's powerful aura.

"Wow! That's tough! One last question. You mentioned earlier that Shen Liang also wants to achieve better results. So, in the upcoming competition, do you think he can make it to the semifinals?"

After this question was raised, Liu Wei's lips curled up noticeably: "I think the whole nation should pray for him!"
