Chapter 236 Advance to the 100m Final
After the first group of the semi-finals where Bolt and Guy are in, the second group of the game begins, and it is Zhang Huasong and Asafa Powell's turn to compete.
This time, Zhang Huasong used almost all his strength, and only slightly pressed the speed when he crossed the line in the last 10 meters.
As a result, Zhang Huasong still scored 9.69 seconds to break the Olympic record, while Asafa Powell only had 9.89 seconds.
Zhang Huasong led Powell to cross the line almost two meters.
The other two players who advanced were Trinidad and Tobago players Richard Thompson and Curranti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles, and they all ran into the 10-second mark.
Before the finals began, Zhang Huasong ran into the 9.7-second mark and broke the original Olympic record.
The players who advanced to the finals in the two semi-finals ran into the 10-second mark, which was unprecedented, shocking the audience. The audience in the stands were excitedly applauding Zhang Huasong while discussing.
"Damn, did Zhang Huasong use the wrong strength? He just tried so hard in the semi-finals?"
"Yes, this result may be a chance to win the championship in the finals, why did it come out in the semi-finals?"
"There is no question of winning the finals, right? You know, Bolt, Powell, and Guy all have the ability to run into the 9.7-second mark! It's very unlikely to win the championship in 9.69 seconds!"
"It's the 100-meter grand era now. The four big sporters are fighting the Olympics. They will definitely not win the championship in 9.69 seconds! This is definitely not the result of Zhang Huasong's full sprint!"
"Yes, when Zhang Huasong finally crossed the line, he seemed to have pressed the speed and didn't have the full strength to cross the line. Zhang Huasong still retained his strength!"
"No way? I ran out after 9.69 seconds. How much would it take to sprint with all my strength?"
"I guess he has to break his original world record!"
"I think it's possible that Zhang Huasong will reach the 9.6 second mark in the final! The so-called human limit of 9.6 seconds seems like a joke!"
"If you run into the 9.6 second mark, you will definitely win the championship, right?"
"That's all, there are not many cases where you can't even break the world record and win the championship!"
"No matter whether the record is broken or not, the finals of the evening must be very intense!"
"Yes, all the 8 finalists ran into the 10-second mark in the semi-finals, which is unprecedented!"
"This is probably another record?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it before, nor have I heard of it!"
In the athlete's lounge, seeing Zhang Huasong's 9.69-second result, Usen Bolt and his coach frowned.
In fact, in training before participating in the Olympics, Bolt had already achieved a world record of more than 9.66 seconds.
Originally, Bolt was ambitious to break Zhang Huasong's record and win the championship at the Peking Olympics.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huasong actually ran 9.69 seconds in the semi-finals, and he didn't seem to be trying his best.
This made Bolt and his coach feel sad. It seems that even if Bolt breaks the record, it will be difficult to defeat Zhang Huasong and win the championship!
In the final of the evening, Bolt must try his best to have a chance!
The Athens Olympics won the championship in 9.85 seconds, while the Beijing Olympics broke the world record of 9.66 seconds and may not necessarily win the championship. It is really terrifying. It is worthy of being recognized by the world as the 100-meter grand era!
In addition to Bolt, Powell and Guy frowned when they saw Zhang Huasong's achievements.
Although everyone is adjusting their state with the Olympic finals, they cannot guarantee that they will definitely reach the 9.7-second mark in the finals.
After all, their personal best score has only barely broken through the 9.7-second mark. And their personal best score is not that easy to refresh.
However, Zhang Huasong ran to 9.69 seconds in the semi-finals where he would not decide on the gold medal, which was very terrifying!
In the semi-finals, I will definitely not do my best. In other words, if Zhang Huasong plays his full strength, his results will definitely be faster than 9.69 seconds, and it is very likely that he will break his 9.66 seconds world record!
If Powell and Guy can't run into the 9.7-second mark, there will be no chance of winning the championship!
Only by running into the 9.7-second mark and striving to break Zhang Huasong's world record can you win the chance to win the championship!
Powell and Guy must also be prepared to fight hard in the finals!
As everyone's discussions, the men's 100m semi-finals were all over, and Bolt, Powell, Guy and others all returned to the Olympic Village to rest and had to attend the men's 100m finals in the evening.
But Zhang Huasong cannot leave.
He has participated in too many events. Today, in addition to the men's 100m semi-finals and finals, there is also a men's long jump qualifier in the morning, which starts at 10:30 in the morning.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong cannot leave the Bird's Nest and has to participate in the long jump qualifying match before leaving!
Before Zhang Huasong's long jump qualifier started, at 10:07, at the Water Cube, Phelps won the championship in the men's 100m butterfly final!
This time, he did not break the world record, but also broke the Olympic record!
It doesn't matter whether the record breaks or not. What's important is that Phelps won his seventh Beijing Olympic gold medal! He has already tied the record for senior Mark Spitz's 7 gold medals in a single Olympic Games!
Once upon a time, everyone thought that Mark Spitz's seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games must be an unprecedented miracle, and no one could break it!
Unexpectedly, in today's increasingly advanced competitive sports and increasingly fierce competition, someone has set this record, and it seems that it is very likely that it will surpass it!
Phelps will have a team relay final tomorrow, and according to the strength of the Stars and Stripes National Swimming Team, it is almost no surprise to win that team relay championship.
Michael Phelps' 8-Gold Myth is right in front of you!
Even the Chinese media and audiences have to look at Phelps' extraordinary achievements!
Even the Chinese audience, who were discussing Zhang Huasong's 100m semi-finals and his long jump qualifiers, became absent-mindedly and hotly discussed after receiving the news that Phelps won the 7th gold medal.
Phelps' performance is really unignorable.
It was not until the men's long jump qualifiers in the Bird's Nest began that the audience gradually turned their attention to the stadium and watched Zhang Huasong's long jump qualifiers performance.
Foreigners believed that Phelps was about to become a god, and Zhang Huasong could not defeat Phelps. But the Chinese people naturally prayed to Zhang Huasong in their hearts, praying that he could perform well and surpass Phelps.
Therefore, even if it is just a long jump qualifier, everyone wants to carefully see how far Zhang Huasong can jump after participating in the 100m semi-finals and breaking the Olympic record.
