"Hans, although they have the advantage of the group, since you are in the same group with me, with the tacit understanding of our training together for so long, are we still afraid that they will not succeed?" Li Tian smiled at Hans.

"You mean..." Hans hesitated. After all, this is not in the German college sports meeting, and they are not teammates of the Cologne Sports Academy at the same time, but players from their respective countries. They are opponents on the field, and doing this does not benefit Li Tian at all, because Hans knows that with Li Tian's strong personal ability, he can completely break through any blockade of his opponent.

"Yes, since we have to deal with the 'African Legion', then we will also have a 'European combination'. Please follow me during the game later. I will set up a response method based on their arrangements and pay attention to the instructions I give you at that time." After Li Tian's affirmative answer, Hans didn't say anything more and nodded silently.

The women's 800m preliminaries ended soon, and the men's 1500m first round preliminaries were staged immediately. This was the most anticipated game for the audience. Because the competition time of all other events that Li Tian participated in was temporarily calculated in seconds, the 1500m Li Tian's continuation time will greatly increase, and everyone can see the heroic posture of their idol on the field for a longer period of time.

Compared with the Chinese women's mid- and long-distance running event that once had the glorious "Ma Family Army", Chinese male players have always lagged behind the international advanced level in this event. The two Chinese players who first played in the 1500-meter preliminary round of this World Youth Championship were eliminated at a great disadvantage. The Chinese team's final hope can only fall on Li Tian, ​​who appeared later.

If 100 meters is the track and field competition that Li Tian likes [the competition, 400 meters is his strongest event, then 1500 meters is undoubtedly his most affectionate one. Five years ago, when he first came into contact with track and field, 1500 meters was the earliest event he had come into contact with. Looking back at the two confused little kids with his sister Zhao Rong, they took the national professional athletes' grade standards as the standard results of ordinary students and trained hard. Until now, Li Tian still smiled knowingly from time to time. It is precisely because of this special

In love, Li Tian repeatedly rejected the request of the China Athletics Association to let him concentrate on sprint training. When he was taught by Coach Hart in Germany, the "gold medal coach" once persuaded him that he would give up the middle and long-distance running event and devote himself to the sprinting event within 400 meters. He will definitely make greater progress. After all, people's energy is limited. However, giving up is not Li Tian's personality. He is just to challenge this penalty area in the track and field industry. This World Youth Championship is an excellent opportunity for him to prove to everyone, which shows how much he attaches importance to this event.

"Xiaotian, it's our turn to play. Let's go out!" Hans and Li Tian followed the other twenty players into the arena. Fourteen people would have to leave here regretfully.

Like Li Tian, ​​Diruba is one of the youngest contestants in this year's World Track and Field Youth Championships. However, when he was just seventeen years old, Kenya, the country with the most fierce competition in the medium and long-distance running event, surpassed many middle and long-distance running masters and became the national youth champion. He is the most optimistic star of hope for middle and long-distance running in Kenya today.

Diruba was born in an ordinary poor family in Kenya. A fire that occurred five years ago made him lose his parents and left him and two young brothers and sisters behind. Then, Diruba, who was only twelve, had to support the burden of raising his younger brothers and sisters. Under the introduction of his kind neighbor, Diruba, the twelve-year-old, began to be an apprentice in a leather workshop in the town 30 kilometers away from home. He struggled to maintain the survival of the family every month with a weak income. Every morning, he had to run to thirty kilometres barefoot.

He came to work in the workshop in the town, and in the evening he had to run home to take care of his young brother and sister. In order to save time on the road, Diruba ran faster and faster, and this run lasted for four years. Until one day last year, a middle-aged man who claimed to be a long-distance running coach gave him a pair of running shoes and then recruited him into the track and field team. The athlete subsidy received in the track and field team was higher than his income in the workshop, which allowed his family to live a better life, so Diruba stayed in the track and field team with peace of mind.

But the good times did not last long. My sister, who was only seven years old, got seriously ill at this time. The doctor told him that if the surgery was not possible within one year, then her sister's life would definitely be in danger. However, the $20,000 operation fee was tantamount to an astronomical figure for a poor Kenyan family. Although the players and coaches helped him as much as possible, it was still a drop in the bucket. At this time, the coach told him that as long as he participated in international competitions and won the championship, he would have a high bonus, and the World Track and Field Youth Championship was the best opportunity. Since then, Diruba began to train wildly, and his training results continued to rise. Finally, in the National Youth Championship in Kenya two months ago, he defeated all his opponents to win the championship and got tickets to participate in the World Youth Championship.

"Diruba, don't worry, this champion will definitely be yours! After getting the bonus, your sister's will be able to undergo surgery, and she will definitely get better soon. Now we will enter the rematch first." Three Kenyan teammates gathered around him, facing the youngest Diruba, they were sympathetic and admirable.

"Yeah!" Diruba nodded with great determination. No one could snatch the last hope of his sister's life from his hands. If you want to win the gold medal, you must step on your body.

"Li Tian...dongdongdongdong, Li Tian...dongdongdongdong, Li Tian..." When Li Tian appeared at the 1500-meter starting line, rhythmic cheers sounded again from the audience, and it was not temporarily calmed down after the competition command issued by the referee on the scene.

Twenty-two players gathered behind an arc starting line. In order to seize a more favorable starting position, the side close to the inner lane was very crowded and completely occupied by players from Kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa, so the other players had to line up outside.

"Preparation...bang!" Although the 1500-meter start is not as intense as the sprint event and has no absolute impact on the competition, since athletes in medium and long-distance running do not have a prescribed track, if the opponent is stuck in the inner lane, it is still very difficult for other players to surpass from the outsiders.

All the players rushed out of the starting line, and the Kenyan players on the innermost side of the starting line took advantage of their position to grab the front and occupy the most favorable inner lane. Ethiopia and South Africa followed closely behind and formed the first group to block the road ahead.

Li Tian and Hans did not accelerate after setting off, but followed closely behind the First Group. The competition had nearly four laps in total. The key to the final outcome was in the last lap. At the beginning of the first and second laps, everyone ran very smoothly, almost maintaining the formation of the start. When the third lap was on, some players behind began to make moves. When they entered the straight lane, a British player inserted into the outside world and consuming physical strength to speed up to catch up with the First Group. However, when he rushed to the front, he found that he was quickly double-pinched by the two players. Then the other party began to slow down, which forced him to slow down. The first group member who had just accelerated and surpassed him took this opportunity to surpass him again. There were still a few who wanted to try, but none of them succeeded. They were either forced to the inside of the crowd and could not get out, or were restricted to the outside world to follow, wasting precious physical strength in vain.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" When the copper bell rang in the last lap, the First Group finally started to get messy. There were only eight promotion places in a group, while Kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa, three countries with group advantages, had as many as ten players. If you want more teammates to enter the rematch, you can only step down the players from other countries. For a moment, the competition in the First Group was extremely chaotic, and Li Tian and Hans wanted this kind of chaos. In the last three hundred meters, Li Tian gave Hans a look and then inserted it out alone. Li Tian relied on his good physical fitness and excellent speed.

From the outsider to the front of the entire team, he suddenly lowered his speed. It didn't matter if he slowed down. The two Kenyan players behind him had to slow down immediately. The players who were not prepared for slowing down at all followed by a series of chain reactions, which immediately caused greater chaos. At this time, Hans, who was prepared in his heart, seized a gap in the chaos and accelerated and quickly grabbed the second place behind Li Tian. At this time, Li Tian gave up the inner lane and let Hans substitute to this position, but he and the outsider who ran side by side with him, blocked the route of the players who were beyond the latter.

Although Li Tian can only be considered a small person among sprinters, he is undoubtedly very tall among the mid- and long-distance runners who are generally thin. Hans is a traditional German with a taller figure than Li Tian. The two "huge" guys are stuck firmly in the inner lane and start to speed up continuously.

In the last 100 meters, the First Group followed Li Tian and Hans closely. Everyone did not set a distance at all, and the competition immediately became fierce. At this time, Li Tian accelerated again, and the absolute speed of the "No. 1 Flying Man in Asia" was incomparable to other opponents. At this time, Hans could only rely on himself. It was impossible for him to get stuck in the straight in the last 100 meters. Other players behind him tried to surpass him from the outsiders. Hans was always slightly inferior to the black players in sprinting speed, and was quickly surpassed one after another. Fortunately, with the advantageous position, he finally crossed the finish line seventh and got one of the tickets to the rematch, which made him extremely excited.
Chapter completed!
