Chapter 97 4x100m Final

Apart from Lu Wei, the other three members of the Chinese team were also feeling uneasy.

"Don't let the Japanese fool you with their narrow-mindedness and underhanded tactics. Their training is truly meticulous, and their baton-passing technique is impeccable. The receivers don't even look back or slow down; they must have been practicing for quite some time!"

Shen Liang watched the Japanese team's four batters pass and receive with astonishing smoothness. In this sport where details are paramount, they had taken the details to the extreme.

"Don't look at others, just practice hard yourself. Their teamwork is already perfect, but their individual abilities are really too weak. As long as we can pass the baton well in the first three legs, I'm quite confident that we can face that old man in the last leg."

Looking at Asahara Nobuharu, Lu Wei was truly impressed by the Japanese man's ability to create hype. This guy had practically no achievements in his professional career, yet he shamelessly managed to stay in the team until he was almost 4, making him a veteran. His only advantage was that his performance declined more slowly as he got older.

In the live broadcast room, Liu Feiren was specially invited as a commentator.

"Liu Feiren, first of all, congratulations on creating a miracle in lane 9, winning the 110-meter hurdles championship in lane 9. As far as I know, no one has ever won a major championship in this event in lane 9 before. After the 110-meter hurdles, the men's 4x100-meter relay team was also assigned to this lane in the final. Do you think the Chinese team has formed an indissoluble bond with this lane in this World Championships?"

After the women's 4x100m relay final, Yang Li quickly steered the conversation to the men's competition.

"Hehe, thank you! I think everyone has a similar chance in the finals. As long as we can perform to our best ability, that's fine. My training this year has been more systematic, so I can focus on my own performance in the finals. However, being in the first nine lanes in the 4x100m relay can be quite nerve-wracking, especially since the Chinese relay team is full of young guys. I hope everyone won't be affected by this being their first time participating in the finals. Just perform to your normal level, and I believe they are the best!"

This is Liu Feiren's style of answering.

"Before this competition, everyone thought that this year's Chinese relay team would probably bring us a surprise, because the team has Lu Wei, a young man who shocked the world as soon as he was born. Some people say that he is the number two figure in the current Chinese track and field team. What do you think?"

These issues demonstrate that Yang Li is quite professional as both a commentator and a reporter; he is a professional journalist.

In contrast, that eccentric woman surnamed Xia not only asked embarrassing questions to her teammates during interviews, but also made the viewers in front of the TV lose patience.

Today, Yang Li did both the work of a commentator and a reporter.

"Lu Wei has indeed performed exceptionally well in this competition. Even many coaches and teammates are his fans. Everyone envies his incredible athletic talent, being able to stand on the podium in different events. If you call him number two, then you're implying I'm number one!"

Haha! Don't mention it, don't mention it at all. We have a very good relationship. I also want to thank Lu Wei for that bear hug after the match for my excellent performance yesterday. I also benefited from his good luck, haha!

Liu Feiren definitely has high emotional intelligence; no matter what you ask him, he can always return to his own logic.

"The team members are already on the track. Now let me introduce the four young men of the Chinese team. The first one is Hu Huo, who won the 100-meter championship at the University Games with a time of 10.30 seconds. This result will basically qualify him for the semifinals at this World Championships."

The second runner is Zhang Yuanteng, the national champion. His time in the past year has been around 10.18 seconds. Although he has not yet broken the national record of 10.16 seconds, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he breaks the national record.

The third runner was Shen Liang, nicknamed "Little Leopard." He wasn't tall, but he had explosive power. In the first half of the 100-meter preliminaries, he even threw Tyson Gay, the champion of this year's 100-meter race, off his rhythm.

The fourth runner is Lu Wei, a new discovery from the Chinese track and field team. He has already won silver medals in the shot put and 400 meters. If he can add another silver medal today, it would feel great, haha!

The commentator had just finished introducing the other teams' members when the competition was about to begin (unless you're a true track and field fan, you basically don't need to introduce those you already know, and even if you introduce those you don't, you still won't recognize them next time).

Apart from the Chinese team, Nigeria is in lane 2, Brazil in lane 3, Jamaica in lane 4, the United States in lane 5, Japan in lane 6, Brazil in lane 7, and Germany in lane 8. The lane assignments for the other teams are based on their performance, but for the Chinese team, it's a draw...

After the starting gun fired, the eight team members ran wildly, as if they had suddenly spotted their prey.

The championship battle is basically a contest between the United States and Jamaica. Looking at the world, as long as these two countries can gather four top athletes to participate in the relay race, there is basically no third team that can match them as long as the baton exchange is not too far off.

The first runner for the US team, Davis Barton, is 1.75 meters tall and has great explosive power. He clearly outpaced Jamaica's Marvin Anderson. In this race, the two relay teams can simply use each other as a benchmark to determine who will win.

In terms of the first leg, each country will put its most explosive runner in this position. Hughes' starting technique can only be described as average because his strength is relatively average, while Shen Liang's cornering ability is too outstanding, so he was assigned to this lane.

The requirement for the runners is to immediately pick up speed and then prepare to exchange batons with the next runner. The first runner usually runs a bend and barely runs before handing over the baton on the straightaway. A runner usually only runs about 80 meters.

Hugh and German swimmer Ostawod were evenly matched. Naoki Tsukahara's first batter was an exceptional performance, appearing even better than his Brazilian counterpart in the same position. He finished the first batter in about 4th place.

The Nigerian team collapsed right after the second baton was handed over; the receiving runner slipped and fell without any warning.

In previous competitions, the athletes in lane 2 always seemed to get into trouble. Luckily, the Japanese don't understand these things, otherwise Liu Jingren, Lu Wei, and the relay team would definitely have been assigned to lane 2 in the next few days of competition.

Jamaica's second runner, Bolt, was undoubtedly the strongest in his leg. With his long legs, he quickly caught up with the US team's second runner, Spiermon. Fortunately, Spiermon was also a seasoned veteran and managed to hold on, preventing Bolt from widening the gap.

The baton exchange between Hughes and Zhang Yuanteng in the first leg of the Chinese team was well executed, so the gap that Hughes had created in the first leg was made up, and the Chinese team did not fall behind the British and Japanese teams.
