The 20th Asian Track and Field Championships was held in Jiangcheng, Hubei Province, China.

A week before the game, Tang Hao and his teammates from the Chinese track and field team arrived at Jiangcheng Stadium.

When he came to Jiangcheng again, Tang Hao still felt more or less.

The last time I came to Jiangcheng was last year when he won 7 fast gold medals in a row. This time he came to the track and field field and participated in multiple events. I wonder how he can perform on a larger stage?

Head coach Zhu Huaiyu is determined to win this battle. The top players in the four domestic sprinters, plus Tang Hao, can be said to be the strongest force in China. This time he is fighting at home again. He feels embarrassing if he doesn't win a few gold coins.

The day after the Chinese team arrived, the Island Country Track and Field Team also followed Jiangcheng, flying from the coast to the inland Jiangcheng, and they also made trouble.

However, after arriving, they just took a short rest and went to the track and field to train. It can be seen that they were under a lot of pressure to play away.

Because there is still some time before the game begins, in addition to the Chinese team, there is the island team in the training ground, and the two teams each occupy half of the track, and no one interferes with each other.

After training for a while, Tang Hao sat on the sidelines to rest, and Su Bingtian walked over and sat next to him.

"The oldest one is Yuzo Kanemaru. He is the captain of the island team. The mixed-race person over there is Cambridge Asuka, a newcomer. That one is the strongest 200 meters in the island team, Shota Iizuka."

"Are you talking about Asian Bolt?" Zhang Beimeng also came to join in the fun at this time.

"Asian Bolt?" Tang Hao was slightly surprised.

"Well, Shota Iizuka! He is known as Asian Bolt. This person is not weak. To be honest, Lao Xie may not be able to do him." Zhang Beimeng said.

"There is also Cambridge Asuka. The island country has not had a mixed-race athlete into the national team for a long time. The newcomers recruited this time are blank. Be careful." Su Bingtian said at this time.

"But they should also worry. Our Tang Hao is also a secret weapon, and it is a nuclear weapon." Zhang Beimeng said proudly.

"Who are the other two?" Tang Hao pointed to the two people training on the track. They had just run a short run and were very fast.

"That's also an old opponent." Su Bingtian said with some emotion at this time.

Listening to Su Bingtian's words, Tang Hao vaguely guessed that the two should be the main attackers of 100 meters.

Sure enough, Zhang Beimeng followed and said, "The younger one is Kiryu Xiangxiu, and the older one is Ryota Yama Prefecture. That guy is the most rude."

"I owe it?" Tang Hao looked at Zhang Beimeng in confusion.

"Yes, I owe it. He ran 10 seconds 07 in London and reached the semi-finals. After that game, he actually said he would run 10 seconds in the next two years." Zhang Beimeng said with some displeasure.

10 seconds is an insurmountable hurdle for Asian players. The current Asian record is the 10 seconds set by islander Hiroshi Ito in 1998. It has been 15 years since then, and no one can break it.

Shanxian Liangta said such words, indeed, like Zhang Beimeng said, with a little big mouth.

"This is actually okay. No one wants to run for 10 seconds. However, after returning to China, this guy became even more arrogant. He said that he was the strongest sprinter in Asia and would lead the Asian sprinter to rise. He is a big-headed ghost! Who wants him to lead it!" Zhang Beimeng said angrily.

Tang Hao smiled, it seemed that Zhang Beimeng was too unfamiliar with Shanxianliang.

"After all, I ran for 10 seconds and had the capital to say these words." Su Bingtian said at this time.

When Su Bingtian said this, Zhang Beimeng fell silent.

At this time, Tang Hao also turned his head to look at his two teammates, as well as the other two people training on the track, and unconsciously touched the tip of his nose with his hands.

To be honest, although Zhu Huaiyu is determined to win and the players are full of confidence, in terms of strength, whether it is 100 meters, 200 meters, or even 400 meters, the Chinese team is much weaker than the island team.

This home game is an opportunity, but for the players, they are also under tremendous pressure.

"Easy, this home game, maybe some of us can run within 10 seconds?" Tang Hao stood up with a smile.

"Well, this is a good opportunity." Su Bingtian also stood up.

"Okay, let's go and practice relay." Tang Hao said as he pulled Zhang Beimeng.

...

"That's Tang Hao?" On the other side of the track and field, Shota Iizuka, who had just finished training, looked at the Chinese team practicing relay, turned around and asked Yuzumi Kanemaru beside him.

Yuzo Kanemaru nodded: "He is now the pride of the Chinese, and has achieved remarkable results in many sports, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a national hero."

"National Hero?" Hearing Yuzo Kanemaru's answer, Shota Iizuka couldn't help but stick out his tongue and licked his lips, with a look of looking at the prey in his eyes, "In that case, Kinmaru, if I defeat him, can I hit the Chinese hard?"

"Definitely, the foundation named after him in China is the most influential charity, and it is now known as the undefeated myth. If you defeat him, it will definitely be a big shock for the Chinese." Yuzo Kanemaru nodded and said.

"This is really the best news I heard today." Shota Iizuka said with a smile.

...

A week is short, but not long. As the opening ceremony of the track and field championships get closer, track and field teams from Asian countries have arrived in Jiangcheng one after another.

Asian track and field is not outstanding in the world, but there are also many countries with top strength in the intercontinental world, including Qatar and Bahrain, which are track and field powerhouses in addition to island countries and China.

Bahrain is the Asian sprint kingdom, while Qatar has planned many top-notch African players and is a real planning team.

This track and field championship can be said to be a four-nation competition.

As the competition approaches, more and more news reports about this Intercontinental Championship are also increasing.

The most common thing here is about the training and preparations of the Chinese team, but in addition, there are also many news with great influence, and some even caused a lot of controversy.

The most influential news here is the press conference before the opening ceremony of the Island National Team.

At the press conference, the island country's sprint dual cores, Shota Iizuka and Ryota Yama Prefecture both expressed their confidence in this championship.

Shota Iizuka said bluntly that this time his goal is to win the championship, and not win the championship is to fail, while Ryota Yama Prefecture's words obviously seem more arrogant. He admitted that he has always enjoyed the feeling of winning the championship away, as if he had conquered the world.

Even the head coach of the island national team, Toe Kuoyu, said bluntly that he was ready to win several gold medals in this championship.

Perhaps it is the recent tension between China and Japan. The islander who tends to be low-key in daily competitions is actually possessed by Koreans and started to brag before the game.

However, the difference between them and Koreans is that at least in terms of strength, the islanders are much better than the Koreans.

This attitude of the islanders has attracted strong response from Chinese audiences.

The tickets that were originally sold were sold were in a wave of buying before the start of the game. The audience entered the venue for nothing else, just to cheer for the Chinese track and field team.

In fact, there is no need to mobilize the competition between China and island countries.

In such an atmosphere, on the opening ceremony, the attendance rate of Jiangcheng Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, reached about 70%.

People waving flags and shouting, and cheering, it felt like the moment when they were held not the track and field championships, but the Olympics.

The opening match of this track and field championship is 110m hurdles. This track and field event that was popular in China because of Liu Xiang, has a considerable influence in China even after Liu Xiang retired.

Chinese hurdlers Shi Dongpeng and Xie Wenjun joined hands to fight.

Finally, amid the cheers of the audience, the two successfully advanced to the semi-finals one after another, attracting cheers from the scene.

At the same time, the qualifiers for the shot put jump event in the track and field were also launched.

There are more than 30,000 people on site and can choose to see their favorite events, which is one of the reasons why this venue loves track and field competitions.

The 110-meter hurdle event ended, followed by the 200-meter sprint preliminaries.

When the contestants came out of the entrance to warm up, there were bursts of shouts on the sidelines.

"Tang Hao! Tang Hao!"

"Zhang Beimeng! Zhang Beimeng!"

"Xie Zhenye! Xie Zhenye!"

...

The cheers received by Chinese sprinters are overwhelming.

Not only the Chinese team, but also the players from other national teams.

Seeing the enthusiasm of Chinese audiences, athletes from some countries couldn't help but feel a little envious, but the players of the island team looked serious and could feel that the cheers of the audience brought a lot of pressure to them.

There are 6 groups in the 200m preliminaries, with the top 2 in each group and the 4 best-scoring thirds advanced to the finals.

Zhang Beimeng appeared in the first group.

The strength of this group cannot be underestimated. In addition to island man Yuzo Kanemaru, Qatar planner Kenny Jones and Bahrain veteran Jasla are all on the list.

"Come on!" Before Zhang Beimeng came on the court, Tang Hao and Xie Zhenye cheered him up.

Zhang Beimeng was full of confidence, nodded and ran to the track with a smile.

Zhang Beimeng's runway is on the fifth lane. The fourth lane on his left is Kanemaru Yuzo and Jia Sila on the right, in a position that was being attacked.

However, Zhang Beimeng has a good attitude. After looking back and forth at the contestants on both sides, she then focused on her own track.

After a few trial runs, I went back to the starting point and prepared.

"Zhang Beimeng! You are the most fierce!"

The audience cheered and cheered.

Zhang Beimeng greeted the audience with a smile, feeling quite relaxed.

In contrast, Yuzo Kanemaru had a serious expression and kept looking at the track thinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Kanmaru! Come on!" The game was about to begin, and the Cambridge Asuka shouted to the field.

"Yu San, kill them!" Shota Iizuka shouted even more directly.

Tang Hao turned his head to look at the players of the Island Team. When he remembered the media's performance of the Island Team at the press conference, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose.

It's a coincidence that he will fight Cambridge Asuka in the next group stage, and I don't know how good this mysterious mixed-race player is.

The competition began soon. At the instruction of the referee, the players stood in front of the start and prepared before the departure.
