It was a chaotic country, so the Chinese track and field delegation stayed in the hotel after arriving in the Manila.
He was not allowed to go out.
How chaotic was it?
Let's put it this way. North Korea, Vietnam, Khmer, and other five countries directly announced that they would not participate in the Asian Championship for safety reasons.
There were even gunshots on the streets.
This showed how chaotic the Manila was.
Yang Zhuo didn't want to go out and cause trouble for himself, so it was better to stay in the hotel.
This was the residence of the various countries 'representatives, and the security was very strong.
In the room.
Yang Zhuo was calling home.
This was a habit.
Every time she went abroad, she would call home to tell them that she was safe.
"Mom, I've already arrived in Manila and am staying at a hotel.”
On the other side, Zhang Yumin said worriedly," I watched TV. I heard that it's very chaotic over there. You have to be careful."”
"It's fine. The place where I live has very strong security, and there are police cars escorting me to the competition.”
Yang Zhuo didn't want her to worry, so he tried his best to explain the situation to her.
"That's good."
Zhang Yumin heaved a sigh of relief.
......
Because it was not safe, the members of the delegation did not find a place to train.
He only did simple exercises in the hotel, such as push-ups, sit-ups, arm swing training, squats, and box jumps.
It was enough for Yang Zhuo.
After all, the level of the Asian Championship was similar to that of the World University Games.
Especially the 100m sprint.
In the eyes of the various countries, Yang Zhuo was the favorite to win the championship.
As long as there were no accidents, the championship would definitely be his.
After all, he had already left Asia and entered the world.
It was far from what the athletes in Asia could compare to.
Of course.
Yang Zhuo didn't care what others thought.
Although his goal was to get the gold medal, it didn't mean that Yang Zhuo would take it lightly.
He would take this game seriously.
......
September 20th.
In the afternoon.
At the Lizar Athletic Stadium in manila.
The preliminaries of the men's 100m sprint were about to begin.
There were only three rounds of individual events in the Asian Championship because there weren't many participants.
The preliminaries were this afternoon, the semifinals were tomorrow afternoon, and the finals were tomorrow night.
In the warm-up area.
Yang Zhuo and Chen Haijian were warming up, ready to go on stage.
The two of them were neighboring groups, so there would not be any competition.
At this moment.
Li Qing walked over and instructed," The preliminaries are stable. Both of you, hold back. Don't get hurt."”
"Got it, coach."
Yang Zhuo said calmly.
Then, Li Qing returned to the sidelines and started to communicate with Yu Weili.
"The situation in Manila is really bad.”
"Yeah, let's hurry back to China after the competition. I don't want to stay here for another minute.”
To be honest, he didn't realize that Manila would be so chaotic.
"If I knew this would happen, I would have let Yang Zhuo participate in the World Track and Field Finals. Maybe he could win the championship.”
Yu Weili felt a little regretful.
Li Qing smiled." Let's take it one step at a time. Yang Zhuo has already won the World University Games, the Asian Championship, the National Games, the Asian Games, and so on. Let's start with the Asian Grand Slam."”
At this time, Yu Weili glanced at Yang Zhuo, who was warming up, and said in a low voice,"Coach Li, do you think Yang Zhuo can win a medal in the Athens Olympics next year?”
So far, no Chinese athlete had entered the second round of the men's 100m sprint final.
Not even once.
They were all eliminated in the preliminaries.
With Yang Zhuo's strength, he wouldn't be able to stop him in the preliminaries, semi-finals, and semi-finals.
The only suspense was the finals.
The eight finalists of the Olympic Games were all world-class.
According to the best individual record of the current athletes, there were more than eight people who ran within 10 seconds.
Therefore…
It was almost impossible for Yang Zhuo to win a medal.
Unless he could break through and reach the 10-second mark.
Hearing Yu Weili's words, Li Qing lowered his voice and said,"Director Yu, you can't say this to Yang Zhuo. It'll give him a lot of pressure.”
"Of course I know. We're just chatting.”
"I think the semi-finals, semi-finals, and finals are all historic breakthroughs. Yang Zhuo is still young. Don't expect too much from him.”
"Of course I know that."
Yu Weili said embarrassedly, then added,"Isn't Yang Zhuo the only one who has hope in the past decades?”
This was the truth.
Although Yang Zhuo wasn't particularly high in the men's 100m sprint, Liu Xiang was already in the top 5 in the 110m hurdles.
Liu Xiang was very likely to win a medal in the Olympics, or even win the championship.
That would be a historic breakthrough for China's track and field.
However…
The historic breakthrough in the 110m hurdles was far less shocking than the historic breakthrough in the 100m sprint.
Therefore…
Everyone in the Field Management Center, from the director to the staff, had great expectations for Yang Zhuo.
He had even registered with the General Administration of Sports.
"I'm also looking forward to it."
A few minutes later.
The preliminaries of Yang Zhuo's group began.
He was on the fifth lane.
There were no famous generals among the opponents. The only competitor was Ji Ci Shingo from the seventh country.
However…
In the last 100m final of the World University Games, Ji Ji Shingo did not perform well and only finished fifth.
It could be said that he lived up to his name.
Yang Zhuo didn't expect to meet him in the preliminaries of the Asian Championship.
It was quite fated.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Ji Ci Shingo.
Coincidentally, Ji Ci Shingo also looked over.
Yang Zhuo looked relaxed.
Meanwhile, Ji Ci Shingo's face was full of caution.
Last time, he didn't run at his best level and lost quite badly.
Although he didn't expect to beat Yang Zhuo this time, at least he didn't want to be crushed.
“On~your~marks！”
Hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, Yang Zhuo twisted his neck and squatted down in front of the starting line.
Ji Ci Shingo took a deep breath and squatted down as well.
The eight of them were ready.
The starting judge looked back and forth to make sure that no one broke the rules.
“SET！”
The order sounded again.
Yang Zhuo arched his body and shifted his center of gravity.
He held his breath and waited for the starting gun to sound.
"Pa!"
An electronic gunshot rang out.
Yang Zhuo shot out instantly.
He accelerated at his own pace.
On the other hand, Ji Ji Shingo used an explosive start. The moment he left the run-up device, he accelerated with all his might.
When he reached 10 meters, he raised his head completely, and his pace and stride speed increased rapidly.
It was in the first place.
Yang Zhuo was ranked third, but he didn't panic.
He ran as he should.
On the sidelines.
Li Qing looked at the situation on the track and said with a smile,"This is only the preliminaries, yet Ji Ji Shingo is already so desperate. It seems like Zhuo is giving him too much pressure.”
"Haha, that's normal. I was crushed in Daqiu last time, so how could I not feel pressured?”
Yu Weili chuckled.
"Unfortunately, it's useless. Although an explosive start has an advantage in the future, it's too disadvantageous in the middle and later stages.”
At the same time.
On the track.
30 meters.
Yang Zhuo had already started to run halfway. His stride frequency and length increased again.
His speed increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
40 meters.
Yang Zhuo was neck and neck with Ji Ci Shingo. Yang Zhuo was one body ahead of Ji Ci Shingo in the 50m sprint.
Starting from 50 meters, the gap between the two of them became wider and wider.
Half a meter.
1 meter.
Two meters.
Ji Ci Shingo looked at Yang Zhuo in front of him, feeling very unwilling.
Forcefully squeezing out a trace of strength, he increased his stride frequency once again.
However, it was useless.
100 meters.
Yang Zhuo rushed to the lane.
At this moment, he was more than three meters ahead of Ji Ji Shingo.
A moment later.
The results were out.
1. Yang Zhuo, 0.155 seconds, 10.09 seconds
2. Shingo, reaction time 0.158 seconds, time 10.38 seconds
......
Ji Ci Shingo panted heavily as he looked at the display screen. Then, he walked back with a defeated expression.
Yang Zhuo walked back with a relaxed look.
Li Qing looked at him unhappily.”
"Ah?"
"I already took it and ran away," Yang Zhuo said with a wronged face.”
"10.2 seconds is enough. Why did you run in 10.10 seconds?”
"Uh, I ran according to the feeling of 10.2 seconds. Who knew that I accidentally entered 10.1 seconds.”
