After advancing directly on his first throw, Lu Wei returned to the stands. His first throw had taken nearly half an hour, and it was almost 10 o'clock. Lu Wei planned to watch the performance of the two Chinese athletes in the 100-meter preliminaries at 11 o'clock. He was close to these two, and naturally felt obligated to cheer them on.

Shen Liang is a particularly interesting person. Although he is a southern athlete and not very tall, he has a personality that is easily provoked, which suits me quite well.

In the women's 3000m steeplechase preliminaries, none of the three Chinese athletes were able to qualify for the final. The best time was just over 10 minutes, which is still somewhat behind the world's advanced level.

The last event of the morning was the highly anticipated men's 100-meter race. This race, which was held until the very end, kept the Japanese home crowd on tenterhooks. Two Japanese athletes were also competing in this race: 35-year-old veterans Nobuharu Asahara and Naotaka Tsukahara. These two are track and field stars that the Japanese athletics world has been working hard to cultivate in recent years. After the stadium announced the start of the 100-meter preliminary rounds, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

At Lu Wei's home, his parents were already sitting in front of the television, waiting for their son to appear.

"After finishing the third class, I rushed home but still didn't get to see my son's match. The commentator didn't mention anything about the previous matches, and he didn't say anything about Lu Wei's results. I should have switched classes with Lao Li and come back right after the first class," said Mr. Lu, rubbing his hands. In order to see his son's match on TV, the two of them rushed home after finishing their morning classes.

"My son's shot put qualifying round is at 9 a.m., which is almost the end of a marathon in two hours. Are you expecting him to wait for us? Should I send him a text message to ask how he did?" Mrs. Lu sat a little forward on the sofa, as if that would give her a clearer view of the competition on the screen.

"Come on, Lu Wei is preparing to fully focus on the competition right now. Don't let this distract our son. If he can maintain his performance in the Ningcheng Championships, he'll be a sure thing in the finals. He's trained for so long, surely he won't have lost his form again! Besides, what's the big deal? Why send an international text message? I'll just check the sports news on my phone!"

As he spoke, Mr. Lu took out his phone from his shirt pocket and browsed through sports websites for several minutes. After scrolling for a while, he finally saw the news of Lu Wei's advancement to the finals in the World Championships section of Xinyu Sports website.

"In the just-concluded shot put qualifying round at the Osaka World Championships, Chinese athlete Lu Wei advanced directly to the shot put final with a throw of 20.58 meters on his first attempt. That's all the text... Hey, don't grab it, or you'll break your phone!"

Lu's mother snatched Lu's phone from his father's hand. At first, Lu's mother didn't hold it properly, which made Lu's father very distressed, fearing that his newly bought phone would fall to the ground.

"This online news is so careless, just one line of text and that's it..." Mrs. Lu said, holding her phone with dissatisfaction.

"This is called the timeliness of news. If a website can publish the news as soon as possible, mobile users who see the news will definitely choose this website to search for related news first. This is also a way to attract traffic."

"You know everything, and you can come up with a three-pronged approach to everything..." Mrs. Lu wanted to continue, but seeing that Mr. Lu had already focused his attention on the TV, she stopped talking.

In front of the television, the first group of athletes participating in the 100-meter preliminary rounds were already standing on the track.

"Viewers at home, you are now watching the 11th World Athletics Championships, held in Osaka, Japan. The next event is the men's 100-meter preliminary round. The qualifying standard A for this World Championships is 10.21 seconds. If a country has more than three athletes qualify for the same event, that country can only send a maximum of three athletes. The qualifying standard B is 10.28 seconds. If a country has no athletes who meet the A standard, but has an athlete who meets the B standard, that athlete can also qualify. However, even if multiple athletes meet the B standard, only one athlete can participate in the competition..."

At this point, the stadium staff began introducing the participants, and as the commentators introduced the athletes, the cameras on the television switched to close-up shots of each athlete.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next event is the first heat of the men's 100-meter preliminary round. Lane 1 is 35-year-old veteran Nobuharu Asahara from the host country, Japan. Although he is considered an older athlete, he is still Japan's number one track and field athlete."

At this moment, the Japanese commentator raised his voice and began to introduce Nobuharu Asahara, and the entire stadium immediately erupted in thunderous applause.

"This is just one veteran player, and he's Japan's number one athlete. It seems they've been lacking talent in this sport for the past two years, yet they're still praising him so highly." Mr. Lu shook his head, picked up the freshly brewed tea, blew on it, and took a sip.

The broadcast then introduced the athletes in lanes 2 through 6. When the broadcast reached lane 7, the commentator's voice suddenly rose: "The athlete in lane 7 is our Shen Liang. His best time this year is 10.20 seconds. He barely made it to the World Championships."

After gesturing to the audience, Shen Liang suddenly raised his fist towards the sidelines and placed it on his chest. The broadcast camera immediately switched to the sidelines, where Lu Wei was raising his hands and roaring something, but his voice couldn't be heard on screen due to the distance of the broadcast camera.

"The athlete on the sidelines is Lu Wei, a young athlete who just made it to the finals this morning. Although he is only 19 years old, he advanced to the finals with just one throw, which shows that he is a very strong athlete. The athlete in lane 8 is American Tyson Gay, who is the favorite to win this competition. His sprint showdown with Powell will take place tomorrow."

The broadcast camera only switched for a few seconds, but Lu Wei's parents did not miss the moment.

"When did this kid become so flamboyant? He used to be such a lazybones, but now he's so energetic. Sports really can change a person's temperament!" Mr. Lu said excitedly after Lu Wei's image appeared on the screen, just as he was about to take a sip of tea.

As soon as the referee fired the starting gun, the nine team members immediately started sprinting. The three team members from the Northern Mariana Islands, Fiji, and Kiribati dropped out of the competition for qualification after the start. The three of them occupied lanes 3 to 5 respectively, but they would only be considered school team level in other countries.

"Tyson Gay had a slight lead at the start, but Shen Liang overtook him; the early distance is his strength. Following him were South African runner Varis, and Japanese runner Nobuharu Asahara in fourth place. Tyson Gay's rhythm was off; he was led astray by Shen Liang, but he still managed to overtake Shen Liang. Then, Nobuharu Asahara overtook him and passed Shen Liang. In the last 30 meters, Shen Liang cheered, and Varis sprinted hard. Oh dear, Gay's stride frequency couldn't be reduced, and Nobuharu Asahara overtook him from behind..."

Amidst the commentator's overly excited and incoherent commentary, Nobuharu Asahara secured first place in his group, Tyson Gay came in second, and Shen Liang, thanks to Qian Cheng's outstanding performance, finished third in Group 1. These three players were guaranteed a spot in the next round.

"The results for Group 1 are in. Japanese veteran Nobuharu Asahara gave it his all and finished first in the group with a time of 10.14 seconds. Tyson Gay's early pace was disrupted by Shen Liang, and he finished second in the group with a time of 10.19 seconds. Congratulations to Shen Liang for finishing third in the group with a time of 10.30 seconds and advancing directly to the semifinals."

In the broadcast, Nobuharu Asahara raised his arms and shouted, and Shen Liang politely extended his hand, but Asahara walked past him as if he hadn't seen him. Shen Liang felt a little embarrassed and touched Asahara's arm to indicate that he wanted to shake hands with him, but Asahara brushed Shen Liang off and continued waving to the audience on the sidelines.

"As an influential athlete in Japan, Nobuharu Asahara's behavior was unsportsmanlike. He not only ignored Shen Liang's offer to shake hands, but also responded rudely to Shen Liang's prompting." Host Yang Li was also very angry at this point.

At this moment, Lu Wei suddenly appeared on the broadcast screen. He grabbed Asahara Nobuharu, who felt someone pulling him and tried desperately to shake off his hand. With a little force, Asahara Nobuharu's facial muscles immediately began to twitch violently. Lu Wei dragged him to Shen Liang's side: "Shake hands, or I'll kill you!"

This was said in English. Even though Nobuharu Asahara was uneducated, he understood the meaning of this after participating in world competitions for many years. Helpless, he could only extend his hand to Shen Liang.
