Half a month later.
Chen Yuan followed the national team and the coaching staff back to Eastern Sea City.
This time, the national qualifiers.
The competition was held in the Olympic Sports Center of East Ocean City.
As a famous Shanghai, Eastern Sea definitely had the economic strength and international status to host this selection.
Although he had returned to his hometown.
However, because the team members could not act alone, Chen Yuan did not choose to leave the team and return home.
As this was only a selection competition, and it was held on a weekday.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not call his parents.
She wanted to go back and give her parents a surprise after the competition.
On the day of the competition.
Chen Yuan was warming up in the gymnasium while observing the teams around him.
Basically, the provincial teams from every province had sent people to participate.
After all, they were track and field athletes from the Dragon Country.
It was rare for them to enter the international arena.
This kind of national competition was already the highest level of competition that most provincial teams could participate in.
The first day of the competition was the preliminary round of the 100m sprint.
Therefore, Shen Feng was by his side to cheer him on.
Although Shen Feng specialized in running 200m, he was very experienced.
He also knew the valiant generals of each team.
Shen Feng pointed at a short-haired man on his right and said,""That person is Xie Ye!"
"At present, besides Almighty Su, he is the fastest person on the 100m race track in China.”
Chen Yuan immediately looked over.
He was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, at the end of his peak.
His muscles and muscles were slightly bronze.
It was as if victory was in their grasp in this competition.
Shen Feng said," Almighty Su didn't participate in the qualifiers this time. It seems that he won't participate in the Asian Championship next year. He should be preparing for the Olympic Games the year after next."”
"So, the most popular champion of the 100m sprint in the country this time should be that Xie Ye!”
Chen Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xie Ye.
He secretly remembered this person's face.
Then, Shen Feng introduced him to a few athletes who had good results in the track and field circle.
He hinted that these people would be Chen Yuan's main opponents.
Chen Yuan nodded and noted them down.
It was his first time participating in a competition, and he was also very nervous. After all, he still did not know what his current level was.
Training was training.
A competition was a competition.
It was a completely different concept!
After the warm-up, the competition officially began.
The groups and the order of appearance for the preliminary round were all randomly assigned by the computer.
However, it was basically in line with the unspoken rule that the strong had to appear as the finale.
The contestants who started earlier were all average.
The more famous and powerful contestants were usually the last to appear.
Chen Yuan did not have any achievements or fame.
Therefore, the computer system automatically assigned him to the front of the lineup.
The first match.
Chen Yuan followed Shen Feng and the others as they watched the battle from the side to familiarize themselves with the process.
The eight people were all ready to go, standing on the starting block with a serious expression.
Although it was just a simple selection.
However, for the players on the field, the short ten seconds were the condensation of their years of blood, sweat, and tears.
"Everyone, get ready!"
"Pa!"
The eight athletes all ran out at the moment the gunshot sounded.
Because it was the first match of the competition.
Therefore, the attention was still good, and there were many people watching.
Among the eight people.
One of the figures was extremely fast and left the person behind him in the blink of an eye.
Ten seconds passed in a flash.
The results were displayed on the electronic screen.
First place: 10.58 seconds
Second place: 10.93 seconds
Third place: 10.97 seconds
......
After seeing the results.
The audience was in an uproar.
They all looked at the young man who had won the first place.
He looked to be in his mid-twenties, had fair skin, and looked refined. It was impossible to imagine that he was a track and field athlete.
"Why is there such a huge difference between the first and second place?" Chen Yuan asked in confusion.”
Shen Feng said,"
"You also know that only the top three of each group can qualify for the preliminary round, so most of the capable people will choose to conserve their strength.”
"After all, there's still the semi-finals in the afternoon. If we run out of energy now, what will we do in the afternoon?”
"This Dong Bai guy is fast, but he forgot to hold back because he was too nervous. I wonder if he will be able to advance in the semi-finals this afternoon.”
Chen Yuan nodded secretly, wondering if he should hold back later.
Shen Feng seemed to have guessed his thoughts.
"Don't be like him and hold back. These were all people who had the strength to ensure that they could advance to the next level.”
"If we're not careful and don't even make it into the semi-finals, that would be embarrassing!”
Chen Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard that.
He immediately recalled the 2021 Olympics.
It seemed that there was a female player who was holding back in the semi-finals, causing him to miss the opportunity to advance.
After that, he was even scolded by the netizens as an idiot.
"Don't worry!" Chen Yuan nodded. I'll do my best later!"
The 100-meter race soon reached the fifth round.
At this time, the interest of the audience and reporters had slightly decreased, and the attention on the game had also begun to decline.
On the sidelines.
Elder Yuan was sitting in the stands.
Because he was the head coach of the national team, he usually did not personally coach the national team.
Although the competition was not important.
However, Elder Yuan still showed up on time. His goal was to watch Chen Yuan's debut.
Because he had predicted it.
This would be a day that would be forever remembered in history.
Just as Elder Yuan was sitting there and waiting.
A crisp voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
" Teacher, there's nothing much to see in the preliminary round. Why don't we go and take a few photos?"
Elder Yuan turned around.
It turned out to be one of his many students in school.
He used to be a track and field athlete. After he retired, he became a reporter who specialized in sports news.
Elder Yuan revealed a rare smile and said happily,""Lauren, you're here too ~"
"Hurry up and sit down. There's a good show to watch later.”
Gao Lan put down his camera and sat down. He smiled and said,""Teacher is in such a good mood to come and watch the preliminaries. What good show is there?"
In her opinion.
The contestants in the preliminaries would conserve their strength.
Moreover, their strength levels were not uniform, and the finale would only appear later.
The first few rounds of the preliminary round were really not interesting.
Elder Yuan smiled and stared at the track below. He suddenly said,
"Coming ~"
