Looking at Yamazaki Koji, the fastest man in Asia... no, he should be called the former fastest man in Asia. However, he only ran 10.16 and was ranked fifth in the group.
With this result, there was basically no hope of advancing.
In fact, if Yamazaki Koji had performed normally, he still had a high chance of advancing. As Asia's number one flying man, it was not difficult for him to get into the top three and get a promotion position under such favorable conditions.
However, his mentality was not good enough. After being surpassed by Ran Junhong, his mentality exploded and he was in a mess. He desperately wanted to catch up with Ran Junhong, but he couldn't catch up. He even completely messed up his rhythm...
It could be said that the reason why he could not advance was entirely because of himself. He could not blame others.
Logically speaking, Ran Junhong breaking the Asian 100m record and running 9.90 was worthy of being reported and even praised by the major media.
But in fact, after Bolt came out, the focus of the media was not on Ran Junhong at all. Except for some Asian media, the focus was all on Bolt.
In addition, Bolt easily ran 9.78 in the preliminaries, which made the media and people forget Ran Junhong's existence.
Compared to Bolt, Ran Junhong's achievements were insignificant.
Ran Junhong, who was in the locker room, was also a little depressed.
He was not a low-key person. Instead, he enjoyed being interviewed by many media outlets and cheered by countless people. But at this moment, almost all the media outlets had gone to interview Bolt. Who would still remember him?
"If I had known, I would have run faster.”
In the group preliminaries, the strong athletes, such as Jialin and Bolt, all kept their strength. Ran Junhong was no exception. As an S-level sprinter, 9.87 was naturally not his limit.
"Sigh, forget it. I'll save my full strength for the finals. During the finals, I'll definitely shock all the audience's jaws to the ground!”
In the semi-finals the next day, Ran Junhong still did not run with all his strength. He only ran 9.88, which was 0.01 seconds slower than the 9.87 in the first round of preliminaries. He advanced to the finals with the second place in the group.
As for the first place…it was naturally Jia Lin.
In the semi-finals, Jia Lin finally started to be a little more serious. He beat Ran Junhong with a score of 9.82 and ranked first in the group, successfully advancing to the finals.
Bolt also performed well in the semi-finals. Although his 9.81 was 0.03 seconds slower than the first round of preliminaries, that was because he deliberately slowed down when he was determined to be the first in the group. If he did not slow down at the last moment, running into 9.80 would be as easy as running cold water.
"As expected, 9.87 is already the limit of this Asian kid.”
After the semi-finals ended, Jia Lin looked at the panting Ran Junhong and muttered to himself.
"However, this is already very good. For an Asian to be able to run 9.90 is enough for him to maintain the title of Asia's fastest man for a long time.”
Retracting his gaze, Garlin finally looked at Bolt, who had finished the match and was signing autographs for his fans.
A strong light flashed in his eyes as Jia Lin clenched his fists silently.
This was his true opponent!
He would not hold back in the finals! All for the sake of defeating Bolt, who had been suppressing him since his debut! The world's fastest man!
The final match soon arrived. The atmosphere in the Olympic Stadium was completely ignited.
The Ying country's sports television station was also broadcasting this world-renowned flying man battle.
There were three people in the studio, one woman and two men. The blonde woman was the host, and the other two men were specially invited by the program team for this competition.
These two men were both veterans of the track and field world. Before they retired, they were both national athletes.
"The 100-meter final is about to begin. Both Garlin and Bolt have advanced to the final. May I ask the two guests, what are their views on the upcoming competition?”The blonde female host asked with a smile.
"Thoughts? He had no opinion. Bolt would definitely win. Although Garin had been trying to challenge him all these years, this era belonged to Bolt. As long as he had not retired, Garin would never be able to surpass him.”The bald guest's voice was firm.
"My opinion is the exact opposite. I think that Jialin's condition is getting better and better recently. A while ago, in the Diamond League, he even ran a career high of 9.74 seconds. I think that in this Olympic Games, Garin has a chance to defeat Bolt and break the mountain that has been pressing on him.”Another guest also had his own opinion.
"Oh right, there's also Ran Junhong from the Moon Shadow Kingdom. He performed well in the first round of preliminaries and semi-finals. He ran 9.87 and 9.88 respectively. There's no doubt that he's currently the fastest Asian.”
" Heh..." The bald guest smiled contemptuously and said,""I admit that as an Asian, as an Asian, it's really amazing to be able to run 9.90. But don't forget that in sprinting, it's all black people.”
Another guest also said," That's right. We've watched the preliminaries and semifinals. 9.87 should be his limit. If he wants to threaten Bolt and Jialin, this score is far from enough.”
In this aspect, the two guests had the same opinion.
The blonde-haired female host wanted to say something, but the scene had already switched back to the Olympic Stadium in Liyue. The 100m sprint final was about to begin. Bolt's figure appeared on the screen. After he appeared, the entire stadium exploded with applause and screams.
Bolt, who appeared, kept waving to the audience in the stadium. His every move was filled with the confidence and arrogance of the world's fastest man.
Next up was Jia Lin, who also received a lot of applause and cheers.
Bolt had occupied the position of the world's number one flying man for too long. For some reason, some viewers hoped that someone could challenge Bolt's position as the world's number one flying man.
Without a doubt, Jia Lin was the strongest challenger.
As for the next players, they were a little miserable. When they appeared, they only received scattered applause. Compared to Bolt, they were like heaven and earth.
Surprisingly, when Ran Junhong appeared, there was some applause in the stadium. This had never happened in the preliminaries and semi-finals.
Ran Junhong looked over and found that those who were applauding for him were all Asian faces.
That's right…
In the sprint event, black people had always dominated the event. It was very difficult to see an Asian in the finals.
Even Yamazaki Koji, Asia's fastest man, only had the goal of reaching the semi-finals. He barely managed to run within ten seconds. It was almost a fantasy for him to enter the finals.
Now that Ran Junhong had appeared, regardless of whether he could win a medal or not, it was already an amazing thing for him to stand in the finals.
Now, Ran Junhong no longer represented the Moon Shadow Kingdom, but the entire Asia! Countless yellow-skinned, black-haired Asians!
