Fifteen minutes later, the semi-finals of the 50m sprint in the lower grade group of Shanghai began again!
There were only two groups in the semi-finals, and the top eight would enter the finals according to their overall results.
At this stage of the competition, there was no longer any weaker player. Those who could reach this stage were all strong players. If there was a dark horse, it was only Wu Di.
More than half of the 16 students came from the youth sports schools in each district.
And these nine people were obviously the best athletes…This showed the difference between professional athletes and amateurs.
Apart from Wu Di who came in first and Lu Ren who came in fourth, the top ten were all students from the youth sports school.
Seeded contestants like Gao Jiaming and Zhu Shaocong would definitely be able to enter the finals, and Sun Bin also had the strength to enter the finals…but some contestants from key and ordinary primary schools were not so lucky.
The semi-finals might be their end.
Entering the finals would depend on their performance on the spot.
"Hi, how are you?"
A rather tall youth suddenly took the initiative to greet Wu Di in the contestant passageway.
Wu Di was stunned for a moment. He clearly felt unfamiliar with this youth.
"I'm Lu Ren, from Outer World…I'll be in the same group as you in the semifinals!”
Lu Ren said politely, then pointed at Chen Tinghua,"That's my track and field teacher!"
"Oh, little outsider…no wonder!”
Wu Di suddenly remembered the grouping table just now. Chen Tinghua had specially told him that there would be a second year student from the Outer World School in the same group as him.
It seemed like it was this guy called Lu Ren.
"Good luck!"
Lu Ren clenched his fists at Wu Di.""I have faith in you. Kill these guys from the sports school!”
"Yes, I will definitely work hard!"
Wu Di also returned a punch. Now, the two of them could be said to have a common enemy. After all, only the two of them were from the primary school group in the top ten of the semi-finals. The rest were all sports school students.
For the sake of fairness, the organizers had split the top 10 contestants in the semi-finals. Gao Jiaming and Zhu Shaocong, the two strongest contestants besides Wu Di, were divided into different groups. Wu Di happened to be in the same group as Zhu Shaocong, along with Lu Ren and Sun Bin.
In terms of strength, Wu Di was undoubtedly the strongest, so Zhu Shaocong was also very wary.
He and Sun Bin were glaring at Wu Di like tigers eyeing their prey. It was obvious that they regarded him as a strong opponent. The contestants were now clearly divided. The five students from the sports school stood together, while Wu Di, Lu Ren, and a second-year student from a key primary school formed a small team!
They looked left and right, but their eyes were all on the track.
Now, the eight contestants of the first group were already standing there, waiting for the starting gun to sound.
Gao Jiaming was standing on the fourth track, which was a very good position…He was also the strongest seed athlete in the 50m sprint besides Wu Di. He came from the Putuo District Youth Sports School, which had always been excellent in track and field.
Bang!
Gao Jiaming took the lead and rushed out. His friends around him didn't even have time to react.
" This guy is really not bad. But I reckon that he hasn't used his full strength in this semi-final…He should be able to run within seven seconds…"
This was Wu Di's estimation. He was using his own body to estimate Gao Jiaming's speed, so there shouldn't be too much error.
Sure enough, after 30 meters, Gao Jiaming was already in the lead and had an absolute advantage…He slowed down and sprinted a few times, instantly surpassing the white line.
First place.
The result was the same as Wu Di's first 50-meter run, 7.10 seconds…This was a pretty good result!
If Wu Di, the dark horse, had not appeared out of nowhere, he would definitely have been the champion of the 50m sprint…
The first group of athletes finished the race track one after another. As expected, the top four were all students from the sports school. This was something that many teachers could guess.
After all, track and field was the main event of the primary school sports meet. In order to test the strength of the students, many sports schools would send some talented seedlings to show their faces in the competition and feel the atmosphere of the competition to prepare for the real competition in the future!
"Alright, it's my turn!"
Wu Di saw the referee signal for the second group to go on stage. He and Lu Ren walked towards the track together.
It was also the fourth one. Gao Jiaming was standing there just now, and now it was him!
Wu Di felt his body's physical strength and condition that was about to explode, and he felt his heartbeat start to accelerate…
He had a competitive heart!
As soon as he stepped onto the track, Wu Di's condition would be adjusted very well, as if he was born with such a good talent for racing!
This had nothing to do with the system!
Beep--
A warning tone sounded from the loudspeaker. Wu Di immediately bent forward, and the other seven people also prepared to start running at the same time.
Wu Di's eyes turned cold all of a sudden.
His Advanced Reflexes were also activated instantly, ready to run at any time with the starting gun.
Bang!
The referee raised his starting pistol.
Gunshots rang out, and everyone immediately rushed out. This time, they were practically advancing at the same time.
However, there was one exception.
That was Wu Di!
He was still faster than everyone else, as if it was a natural instinct.
"This little fellow, has he learned to run away at such a young age? Or is it because of his talent…"
Several coaches shouted in surprise.
Gun press run was a sprinting tactic. It was an athlete's attempt to start at the same time as the starting gun according to the referee's habitual rhythm. For sprinting and short-distance events, the start was very important. Athletes usually used two different strategies: listening to the gun and pressing the gun.
The so-called run by the gun was to start after hearing the starting referee fire the gun.
Obviously, it was much faster to run while pressing down than to run while listening to the gun…However, it was very difficult to master this technique. Many athletes might not be able to successfully press down the gun once in their entire lives!
This was because one could only try it with their innate talent and experience!
In the previous semi-finals, Wu Di had almost run away from the gunshots, and it was the same this time. Therefore, many people felt that this little guy might have the talent to run away from the gunshots...
They did not believe that the seven-year-old Wu Di could master this technique. They only thought that it was luck!
