Chapter 449 London World Championships 400m Qualifying

The 2015 World Championships started on August 8, but Zhao Yun and his team had no competition on the first day. Today was mainly for the qualifying rounds, for those who did not make it to the finals. There were also some less popular events, such as discus, shot put, javelin, hammer throw, etc.

Zhao Yun's competition is tomorrow, tomorrow morning is the 400m preliminaries. In the morning, Zhao Yun and Su Bingtian received their number plates for this competition together.

Today, the Flower Planting Family Track and Field Team accepted an interview with the media. They should have accepted the interview yesterday. However, too many things happened in the past two days, especially Zhao Yun and the other five Tigers of the Flower Planting Family Track and Field Team were facing a temporary change of coach.

The head of the General Administration of Sports decided to wait until things stabilized before accepting interviews. After all, everyone knew who the media was visiting.

During the media meeting, Yang Jian, a reporter from Yanjing Television Station CTV, asked what the goal of the Huazhongjia Track and Field Team was in this World Championships.

The team leader told the media, "The Huajia Athletics team encountered all kinds of injustices when they came to London this time, and the athletes were not in the best physical condition. Despite this, the Huajia Athletics team will still strive to win more than three gold medals."

IAAF reporter Yang Shu asked, "Zhao Yun, Bolt did not participate in the 14th World Championships last time due to injury. This is the first time you two will compete in a world championship. Do you have the confidence to defeat Bolt?"

Zhao Yun took the microphone and said, "Although we have never faced each other in a real competition, I have defeated Bolt several times. I don't think I will lose to him this time."

World Athletics reporter Ingles asked, "This time the American team vowed to make a comeback and regain their former glory. And this time they also sent out their strongest lineup to participate in the battle. Do you have the confidence to fight against the former overlord?"

The team leader took the microphone and said, "The Flower Planting Family Track and Field Team is not afraid of anyone, and our strength is not inferior to anyone."

After calling on several reporters to ask questions, the team leader, contrary to his usual practice, took all the questions on himself and did not allow Zhao Yun and the others to speak too much.

After finishing the schedule on August 4th, the team leader gave everyone a passionate motivational speech in the evening.

In his speech, he reviewed the history of the Huazhongjia track and field team, the glorious moments and difficult challenges, and the hard work of the team members along the way.

He talked about how the heroes who won glory for the country wrote their legends with their sweat and perseverance, how they surpassed themselves time and time again, and let the five-star red flag fly high in the international arena.

He talked about the past of the legendary Liu Yangyu, and also mentioned Zhao Yun's wonderful performance in the last World Championships.

"Tomorrow's game is not just an ordinary game, it is the stage for you to realize your dreams and the moment for you to win glory for your country!" said the team leader passionately.

“Each of you has the potential to create miracles, and each of you has the ability to let the world see the glory of Huazhongjia athletics!”

His voice was full of power, as if it could inspire the fighting spirit deep in everyone's heart. The team members' blood was boiling, they clenched their fists, and their eyes were shining with determination. They knew that everything the leader said was true, and they had the ability and responsibility to strive for the best results.

After the speech, the team members expressed their willingness to do their best to achieve the best results. They know that every competition is a challenge to themselves and a gift to the motherland. They are willing to use sweat and hard work to create their own glory.

That night, the members of the Flower-Growing Track and Field Team were extremely excited. They fell into sweet dreams with a desire for victory and love for their motherland.

They know that tomorrow's game will be the most important day in their lives. They are looking forward to the arrival of a new day and looking forward to showing their best on the court.

........

On August 15, the second day of competition of the th World Athletics Championships held at the Olympic Arena in the United Kingdom began.

At eight o'clock, the weather was clear and the wind speed was +0.4 m/s.

Zhao Yun made his debut at the London World Championships in the 400m qualifying round.

Zhao Yun is in the third group to fight!

The first player to appear in the group was Botswana's famous athlete Makawala.

After the start of the game, Qatari star Abdullah Haroun showed his impressive strength and kept close to the recently famous Makawala.

Makawala's performance was a little disappointing, and the two fought each other until the last 100 meters straight. It was still unclear who had the greater advantage.

When it came to the last fifteen meters of the sprint, Abdullah Haroun miraculously led Makawala by one-third of a body length, won the first place in the first group and advanced to the next semi-finals.

When the results came out, the first group was a bit of a surprise, which surprised everyone.

Makawara's forte was the back half of the race, but he failed to show his full potential in the last 100 meters.

After the run, Makawala's face turned pale and he squatted on the ground spitting acid.

Everyone thought it was a normal physiological reaction. After all, in the 400-meter race, which is known as the death duel, this situation is very common.

Zhao Yun was watching the previous match in the backstage. Although the two had fought each other many times, Zhao Yun felt that something was wrong with Makawala. Fortunately, Makawala squatted for a while, slowly stood up, and left the venue.

In the second 400m competition, Yusuf Ahmed M. Masrahi, a Saudi athlete who is known as the second best 400m runner in Asia, will compete.

马斯拉希现在什么水平呢，就以现在国内第二人的郭钟泽45秒14跟他对标的话，他能拉郭钟泽13米左右的距离。他是目前除了赵云第二个能跑进44秒以内的选手，他的最好成绩是43秒94。

This group of players is led by Bahamian talent Steven Gardner.

Gardner showed his ability right after the start of the race. His reaction at the start was quite fast, especially in the first straight line. Gardner's long legs started to show their power and he was half a body length ahead of Maslachi.

After the second bend and the straight road, Gardner's advantage became more obvious. He ran all the way with his long legs, and Maslach tried to catch up in vain.

In the end, Gardner lived up to expectations and won the first place in the second group competition and successfully entered the semi-finals. Maslahi also performed very well and won the second place.

(Note: Qatar's 400m star Abdullah Haroun died in a car accident in June 2021.)
