Chapter 333 Who Said 400 Meters Are American?(1/2)
This made the Russian audience at the scene suffer. They watched the game with a hostile attitude, but now Tang Hao keeps widening the gap with the players behind him, which makes them feel very entangled.
The Russian audience was in pain, but the Chinese audience at the scene became more and more excited, because as Tang Hao continued to widen the distance with other contestants, their attention could also be fully focused on Tang Hao. They only need to see how much the gap can be widened.
10 meters.
30 meters.
60 meters.
100 meters.
200 meters
...
As the distance between Tang Hao and the contestants behind him continued to widen, the mood of the audience on the scene became higher and higher, and even some Russian audiences did not cheer for Tang Hao on their own.
In the end, Tang Hao passed the finish line first by one lap ahead of second place Farah.
The moment he rushed through the finish line, the remaining six or seven thousand spectators in the entire stadium were completely infuriated.
Tang Hao's final score was 26 minutes 17 seconds 51, and there were two conspicuous letters wr in the upper right corner of this score.
In his debut in the 10,000-meter race at the World Championships, Tang Hao broke the men's 10,000-meter record set by Kness Beckeller at the Brussels Grand Prix 8 years ago!
The remaining audiences at the scene were completely excited. It was absolutely exciting to witness the birth of the world record. They shouted Tang Hao's name. Although there were not many people, the decibels were not much weaker than during the day.
Tang Hao was stunned when he saw the time on the timer.
Because there is still an 800-meter preliminary round tomorrow, he was going to run away, as long as he could win the championship, but the cheers of the audience were wrong, and the booed greatly encouraged him. So, without even realizing it, he broke the world record.
This really makes me feel funny.
However, he broke the record and he was not so easy to deal with after the game.
The reporter was urging him to take photos on the timer again, and various reporters surrounded him to ask questions, which was very lively.
The interview was almost done, and he was preparing to go back and have a breakfast break.
At this moment, the reporter who asked the last question congratulated: "Tang Hao, you ran very well in the 400-meter race today. Like Sean Merritt of Team USA, you brought a clear stream to the audience in this American sport."
"Wait, you just said, American sports? When will 400 meters become American sports?" Tang Hao said and looked at the reporter.
"First it was Michael Johnson, then Sean Merritt, who won all the championships in the events they participated in. Isn't that wrong with that statement?"
"Well, you can say that. According to what you said, 10,000 meters is also an African sports, but Farah and I, who won the championship and runner-up in the end, are neither Africans, right?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
Tang Hao's answer immediately attracted a burst of laughter from other reporters.
"But Sean Merritt's dominance over 400 meters is obvious." The reporter was a little embarrassed.
"Maybe, but I'll probably know tomorrow. Let's see if 400 meters is like you said, it's an American sports."
Tang Hao's words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from other reporters.
The reporter had to shut up, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously a little dissatisfied.
After the first day of the game, Tang Hao was about to go out for a walk, but what Zhu Huaiyu said to him made him give up those ideas.
But not going out doesn't mean he's just hanging in the room alone.
After the training, the little girl Stocke found some DVDs from somewhere, which were Russian movies, and she was clamoring to watch them with Tang Hao.
In the end, there was no way, Tang Hao accompanied him to watch a love movie. Stoke looked flushed while watching it, and Tang Hao was overwhelmed.
However, after watching the movie, the American girl actually pulled him and started playing the controller game again.
Tang Hao liked to play games in his previous life, and Russia was very popular with controller games, and there were quite a few types. When they played, they kept laughing, and they almost forgot about time.
In the end, Stoke's cell phone rang, and after being taught a lesson, the American girl ran back in shame.
When Stoke left, Tang Hao suddenly felt a little empty.
The competition is lonely. To some extent, it is indeed a different thing to have a woman who keeps playing with her and spending these boring time.
It was this idea that made Tang Hao toss and turn in the bed for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, Tang Hao got up and was not in such a state.
Tang Hao got up and warmed up. After washing up, he followed him to the track and field field.
Today, in addition to participating in the 400-meter semifinal, he also has to participate in the 800-meter preliminary round.
In the 400m semifinal, Tang Hao encountered McQuay again.
Tang Hao was in poor condition and finally crossed the finish line by only half a meter ahead of McQuay, and his results were a little worse than yesterday.
In another game, Sean Merritt ran out for 43 seconds 89 and ran into 44 seconds.
Such results made the audience excited. In the post-match interview, when the reporter told Merritt Tang Hao's answer, the active 400m king smiled faintly and said: "400m has always been from the United States, which is a kind of inheritance, but I also welcome other people to challenge. The biggest charm of competitive sports is that challengers will continue to appear."
Merritt's answer did not name it, but it was a person who could feel the implication of this.
The Russian media also stood on Merritt's side with a breakthrough. They listed the results of Tang Hao and Merritt in the semi-finals, using data to illustrate their strength.
Zhang Beimeng and Su Bingtian were a little angry about these news. Russia and the Americans worked together to deal with Tang Hao, which is really rare in track and field competitions, but Tang Hao himself seemed very calm.
At noon, he did not go to the venue to adapt like yesterday, but took a nap.
When he woke up, he felt that his whole mental state had recovered a lot.
At this time, it was less than half an hour before the 800-meter preliminary round. He changed into the competition uniform and went directly to the venue.
There are many players from other countries training in the field. 800 tests speed and endurance. For players, the pressure of the competition is not less than that of sprinting.
Because it was a long-distance running event, Zhang Beimeng and Su Bingtian did not come, only him and head coach Zhu Huaiyu.
Zhu Huaiyu also sat in the audience very early, and he seemed somewhat lonely alone by himself.
But he didn't care much, and after doing the warm-up exercise, he followed him on the track.
Unlike yesterday's group stage, he was in the first group of the 800m preliminaries this time, which was the first group to compete.
Because Kenyan player David Rudisha, the king of 800 meters, did not participate in this World Championships, the favorite to win this World Championships is Ethelbian player Oman. This young man is younger than Tang Hao and is only 19 years old. However, this young player won the 800-meter championship of the Indoor Track and Field World Championships last year, and he became famous at a young age.
It can be said that Oman is the most competitive player in the 800-meter 800 meters besides David Rudishu.
His characteristic is the sprint in the second half. It is precisely because of this kind of game characteristics that his games often reverse the good show, making the audience excited.
This also gained a lot of fans for him.
In addition to Oman, American Nick Simmonds is another highly competitive player in this event.
Tang Hao's biggest opponent in the first group was Nick Simmonds, who had an excellent result of 1 minute, 44 seconds, and 10 seconds in 2008.
Tang Hao was taking a nap and didn't know what happened before the game, but in fact, before the game, perhaps it was his teammate Sean Merritt, who supported his teammate. In an interview before the game, he bluntly said that God gave him a chance and he would prove to his teammate Merritt that track and field fields are American track and field fields.
Such a pre-match declaration also makes the audience look forward to the game.
However, Tang Hao didn't know this. After he came back, he was preparing to go all out in the afternoon. Although he said he didn't care much, if he didn't give any response, it would be a bit coward.
After the warm-up activities before the game were over, the contestants stood at the starting point.
Simmonds turned to look at Tang Hao before setting off.
"Everyone takes your place."
"preparation."
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the contestants rushed out as soon as possible.
Simmonds and David Rudishu have very similar running styles, and are preparing to grab the first place at the beginning and gain the lead for the sprint in the back.
So at the beginning, he accelerated with all his might and quickly stood out among the many players.
However, after running 50 meters, there was a sudden booing sound at the scene.
For nothing else, it was because Tang Hao started to make trouble again.
After rushing out of 50 meters, Tang Hao actually accelerated rapidly, and he jumped out of other players like a second-level rocket.
This speed is faster than the speed of an average player of 100 meters.
Simmonds originally thought he wanted to grab the front position, but he only felt a whizzing beside him, and then looked up and saw Tang Hao running to a place two meters away.
He almost vomited out an old blood.
This is why don’t you run like this!
After Tang Hao's sprint took advantage of himself, he maintained a constant speed. Finally, after running 100 meters, he ran to the inside first and grabbed the first position.
Although Simmonds also accelerated with all his might, he did not run past Tang Hao in the end and was forced to adopt the following tactic.
Although Merritt and McQuey didn't play in the afternoon, they were watching the game on the sidelines now, and they were obviously stunned when they saw Tang Hao's actions.
800 meters is very rhythmic. Tang Hao is so fast and slow, so he is not afraid of disrupting his rhythm?
After going out 200 meters, Tang Hao still maintained the first position. Simmonds tried several times to accelerate and surpass him and ended in failure.
After going out 300 meters, when Simmonds had given up chasing, Tang Hao suddenly accelerated suddenly, and then quickly opened the distance between him and Simmonds when everyone was caught off guard.
After the gap was opened, Tang Hao did not give Simmonds and other players any chance, and kept widening the distance.
