So far, only one member of the Chinese track and field delegation has undergone a doping test, which is considered a great honor. Being noticed by the doping control center indicates that this athlete is either a champion or a record-breaker.

Other athletes will also be randomly tested, but the probability is very small. The reason is simple: if you took drugs and still couldn't make it to the semi-finals, how weak would you be!

On Lu Wei's way to the drug test (urine test), Shen Liang finished the race in 10.38 seconds, ranking 6th in his group and being eliminated. Although there weren't many stars in his group, they were all strong and muscular men. In such a competition, he clearly lacked the ability to continuously compete under high intensity.

Nobuharu Asahara is very strong. He finished fourth in his group in the semifinals with a time of 10.16 seconds, thus advancing to the semifinals.

第一天比赛下来，孟岩在男子400米栏第一轮以49秒66的成绩成功进入复赛，仲敏维在男子三级跳远资格赛里以16米69的成绩也进入了决赛。

However, in other events, the Chinese team members either didn't qualify or, even if they did, struggled to reach the finals. In track and field, without ability, luck is largely ineffective.

The Chinese team had a poor start on the second day of competition. In the men's 20km race walk, which had attracted much attention, none of the three Chinese team members won a medal. The best time among the three team members was almost 3 minutes slower than that of the bronze medalist.

This result fell far short of the track and field team's expectations. Before the World Championships, China had a chance to win gold in this event. After the competition, the entire delegation was somewhat downcast, not only because they didn't achieve their desired ranking.

The biggest reason is that after the competition, the gap between them and high-level athletes is just too big. Don't underestimate the race walking event; ordinary people probably can't even run as fast as them.

冠军队员基本上是1小时22分完成比赛，3位华夏队员里，用时最短的成绩是1小时25分，基本上1000米的配速都是4分多，普通人跑21公里的半马基本上要用2小时左右。

A 3-minute gap means that the team is basically more than 600 meters behind, a distance that would result in being lapped on a track, so the Chinese delegation was not in a good mood.

At this moment, the award ceremony for the shot put competition brought great comfort to the entire delegation. Lu Wei's appearance brought the entire delegation an unexpected medal.

There were no finals on the first day of the competition, and the awards ceremony for all events was held on the second day. Lu Wei's appearance was still met with boos, but it was also mixed with quite a few cheers.

Japanese audiences today have a love-hate relationship with Lu Wei, with clear-cut likes and dislikes and almost no middle ground. The two sides sometimes even have verbal altercations on the field.

On the second day of competition, the most anticipated event was undoubtedly the men's 100-meter race. Athletes who weren't in a hurry to compete gathered in the stands to watch the battle between Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay.

In the morning's semifinals, Asafa Powell was placed in Group 1, while Tyson Gay was in Group 2. They absolutely wouldn't be allowed to meet until the finals. The event organizers clearly went to great lengths to create an atmosphere of epic battles between the two sprinters.

Even before the 100-meter race began, the two had already started a war of words. After Powell broke the 100-meter record with a time of 9.77 seconds throughout the year, he was hailed as a saint by the media, receiving a barrage of praise and accusations of bad luck.

At the time, many American team members were dismissive of the media frenzy, with many saying that he was just lucky and that many people could achieve such results when they were in good form.

In this year's Golden League Oslo meet 100m race, Tyson Gay ran a time of 9.75 seconds with a super-wind, giving the ever-unruly Gay the ability to challenge Powell.

The media, which always enjoys creating conflict and attracting attention, started promoting the rivalry between the two heroes, and their war of words became more and more intense.

Gay said Powell was an average player who only padded his record in small tournaments and would definitely falter in major international competitions. Powell retorted that Gay was like a kite, only able to move forward with the wind, and that Gay was just a social media influencer using him for publicity.

This really angered Gay, who vowed to defeat Powell in a one-on-one match at the World Championships to vent his frustration. Powell then said he would teach Gay a lesson, creating a soap opera that kept the media and sports fans entertained.

Whenever the two of them participate in a competition, they are bound to criticize each other during media interviews.

The two athletes seemed to be playing along with the media hype, as they never competed against each other in the six months leading up to the World Championships. They deliberately avoided each other, which certainly whetted the appetites of track and field fans worldwide.

In the morning's semifinals, Powell, having already secured his place in the final, slowed down by almost 10 meters, finishing second in his heat with a time of 10.08 seconds. Bahamian athlete Derek Atkins, seemingly determined, overtook the slower Powell in the final moments to take first place in his heat.

In this group, Nobuharu Asahara finally couldn't hold on any longer and finished last with a time of 10.36 seconds. Otherwise, he would have become a legend of an inspirational veteran. That's just fate.

In the second semifinal, Tyson Gay finished first in his group with a time of 10 seconds flat, bringing the two-horse race to a close.

"Want to bet on who wins? The loser has to wash the other person's socks for a week!" Shen Liang shouted from the audience.

"Take it easy, there are female teammates too. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend with that kind of image!" Coach Jiang teased him with a laugh. With the competition approaching, everyone seemed very excited.

"Don't gamble with him, he has more than a dozen pairs of socks that he hasn't washed, it's terrifying!" Zhang Yuanteng chimed in from the side.

"Powell will definitely win! What's the suspense? He's the world record holder, and he's run under 9.9 seconds almost every time he's competed this year. Gay is just all talk, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Yeah, I hadn't heard much about him before. He seems to have only emerged in the second half of last year. I'd never heard of him before."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Lu Wei's eyes never left the arena. He paid close attention to the two players' every move, trying to deduce their mental state from their body language.

Guy appeared extremely arrogant, acting as if he feared nothing and was capable of destroying anything in his path. Powell, on the other hand, was much calmer and seemed quite composed.

Lu Wei frowned when he saw Powell's appearance: "There's no murderous intent in his eyes, but his pupils are a bit unfocused. This guy must be very nervous right now."

"Lu Wei, who do you think will win today? Nobody's betting with me, it's so boring! Hey, easy on him!" Shen Liang walked over and patted Lu Wei's shoulder. Although Lu Wei didn't look at him, his right hand had already pinned him to the ground with his knuckles bent.

"I think Powell will have a hard time performing at his normal level today. If Guy can run, we can win." Lu Wei said, his eyes still on the track. The body language of the two men made him very certain of his opinion.

As expected, after the race started, Guy had a strong start and led the other team members for the first 30 meters. Powell was not far behind in the first 30 meters, but perhaps because he was eager to win, his stride became noticeably erratic in the later stages, and the gap between the two widened. In the end, Guy won the championship with a time of 9.85 seconds.

Powell's time was only 9.91 seconds, and he was overtaken by Atkins in the final moments, winning only a bronze medal.

The seemingly invincible god of war was defeated on the battlefield by another wild gladiator.
