After the throw, Mayevsky stood not far from the throwing area, watching the big screen. Because it was his first throw, the other team members were very focused on his score, and everyone looked up at the screen.

About a minute later, the electronic screen displayed his result: 20.5 meters, a not bad start.

The second player to appear was Dorian Scott from Jamaica. If you were to consider density, this guy with the greasy braids was probably considerably larger than Majewski. He appeared to be around 1.85 meters tall, which isn't short for an average person, especially in Asia—he's a true giant. However, among the 12 players present, he was only noticeably taller than the two American players.

When he passed by Majevsky, he felt that his opponent was a head shorter than him.

After receiving the shot, he stood in the throwing arc, raised the shot put, stretched his arm, and then roared. Scott, whose physique was probably in the top 8, let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire stadium.

Scott then began his throwing motion, and it was clear that he was using a backspin throw. It's evident that Black people in the Americas possess tremendous explosive power; despite his large stature, making it difficult to see his own feet, he moved with incredible speed and frightening force.

As Scott released the shot put after one and a half rotations, he let out a bloodcurdling scream. This roar drew the attention of almost the entire stadium; those not watching genuinely thought there had been an accident on the track.

Scott yelled as he watched the shot put's trajectory, only stopping when it hit the ground.

After the shot put landed, Scott seemed quite satisfied with his result. He pumped his fist, appearing very confident.

After waiting a few seconds, the referee in the distance showed no intention of taking the measurement. Scott spread his hands, looking incredulous.

He made such an obvious gesture, but the referee remained unmoved and instead kept his eyes fixed on his feet.

"Dude, what's wrong with you?" Scott waved his hand, looking annoyed, but when he looked down following the referee's gaze, he immediately opened his mouth wide.

His feet were already outside the throwing arc; the foul was so obvious that everyone except himself could see it. When he turned to the referee in the throwing area beside him, he still looked incredulous, as if life had cheated him.

The referee didn't lower the red flag he was holding up; he was just waiting for the referee to see it so the referee could leave quickly.

"Tsk!" Lu Wei made an impatient sound. The broadcast camera then switched to Lu Wei, who was about to appear. His facial muscles were contracting, forming a disgusted expression, and he kept nodding.

"Son, look up! You've fallen for the Japanese trick!" Mr. Lu was jumping up and down at home. The broadcast camera switched to Lu Wei right when he was shaking his head. The title of "public enemy number one" was not just a casual title.

As Lu Wei's voice appeared on the big screen, the audience immediately booed.

"Are these people crazy?! They're never going to stop!" Lu's mother was also very unhappy. What parent wants to see their child become the subject of boos in public?

At this moment, Lu Wei wore a mocking expression, clearly showing his rebellious nature. Before coming, Wang Qiao had instructed him that in world-class competitions, there aren't many athletes who perform exceptionally well; simply performing at their normal training level would be considered quite good. If the backspin wasn't working well, they could switch to the backslide technique.

Wang Qiao had calculated it very clearly: a throw of 20.5 meters would basically guarantee him a place in the top 8 and qualify him for the last three throws.

Lu Wei had already made up his mind to use the spin throw method. Compared to the two main throwing methods, this technique allowed the shot put to gain a better initial velocity at release, and the advantage was too obvious. Even though he wasn't yet proficient in it, he was determined to stick to this most advanced posture.

Lu Wei held the shot put on his chin, then contracted his body, bent his knees, and stretched backwards to prepare for the throw. He pivoted on his left foot, then switched to his right foot for support, and finally switched back to his left. Facing the throwing area, Lu Wei then spun and threw the shot put into the air.

"The angle of that shot put was a bit too high." Coach Jiang and Wang Qiao were sitting in the stands next to the shot put area.

After the shot put landed, it felt like the landing area was farther than that of the Polish players.

The referee in the throwing area raised a white flag, indicating that the throw was valid.

"Coach Jiang, do you think Lu Wei will underperform?" Wang Qiao suddenly thought of this question.

"We are all human, and humans are bound to make mistakes. I think he has good mental fortitude, but the requirements for athletes in world-class competitions are really too high, so it's hard to say how well he will perform."

Soon, the big screen displayed Lu Wei's first throw result: 20.75 meters, a result that would secure him a place in the top 8.

The audience booed again at this moment; any booing from Lu Wei in the stadium would draw boos from the audience.

Among the subsequent athletes, Belarusian athlete Myknevich's first throw was 20.87 meters, very close to 21 meters. The two American athletes who followed, Adam Nelson and Hoffa, both exceeded 21 meters.

Adam Nelson was the first athlete to reach 21 meters, achieving 21.06 meters. However, he didn't hold onto first place for long before being overtaken by his compatriot, Hofa. Hofa, who has been in exceptional form this year, threw 21.32 meters on his first attempt, taking first place among all 12 athletes. Nelson was second, Miknevic third, and Dutch athlete Ruge Smith also outperformed Lu Wei. After the first round, Lu Wei was temporarily ranked fifth.

"As a young player participating in a world championship for the first time, Lu Wei's first throw basically demonstrated his ability, ranking 5th out of 12 players, which is a good start. Let's wait and see how the match progresses after the break!"

The track and field commentator seamlessly transitioned the live broadcast of the competition into the advertising segment.

"Don't you think Lu Wei has changed a lot? He's become much more courageous!" Lu's father exclaimed. Such a competition is not something that ordinary people can withstand, especially since Lu Wei is not even 20 years old. When he was booed by tens of thousands of spectators, he was still able to keep his composure, which even he found remarkable.

"You mean he was impotent before! Old Lu, this is your child. What kind of person are you? The child won't go astray. Even if he was impotent, it's because you raised him badly!" Lu's mother wouldn't allow anyone to ruin Lu Wei's image, not even Lu's father.

"We no longer have anything in common..."

The TV screen returned to the match, and both players focused their attention on the game.
