Chapter 150 Before the final

"Xiaotian, I succeeded, I really entered the semi-finals, hahaha..." Hans was very excited after rushing to the finish line. After all, as an ordinary college student player who is not a professional athlete, he has the ability to become a representative of the German team and can enter the semi-finals of a world-class event like the World Youth Championship. It is already very valuable for him. As for the final, it can only be an expectation.

Compared to Hans' excitement, Li Tian seemed much calmer. The game just now was not very intense, and he only showed 70% of his strength. However, through the performance of other players after the game, he could also see that many people also retained their strength, especially Kenyan players from the mid- and long-distance running kingdom. It seems that they should be very careful in the final. After the game, except for Li Tian and Hans entering the semi-finals in the third group, all four Kenyan players ran into the top eight, while Ethiopia and South Africa, which were slightly inferior, had only one player to advance.

The men's 1500m preliminaries were the last game this morning. After all the players left the field, the audience who had been wet a lot of rain left the competition one after another. After saying goodbye to Hans, Li Tian returned to his personal lounge and changed into dry clothes. He immediately found Assistant Cai, who was a representative of the China Athletics Association, who came to watch the competition as a representative of the China Athletics Association.

"Xiaotian, what's the matter? I'm so anxious to find me?" Cai Yuanqing asked with a smile when he saw Li Tian appear in front of him.

"Assistant Cai, can you help me get the most detailed information about the contestants in this World Youth Championship? I think foreign players should fill in relevant information when registering for the competition." Li Tian would not make the same mistake again. With the lessons learned in the 400-meter preliminary round, he also knew that studying the opponent's information was also a very important part of the competition. In the past, he had no idea about several world-class spire masters. If he had known about Nick's relevant information at the beginning, he would have made corresponding adjustments before starting, and would not give the other party any chance.

"Detailed information of all contestants? Well, I discussed with the people from the event organizing committee. Although these information should be kept confidential, it would be fine if our Athletics Association came forward. It is rare to know yourself and your enemy to be victorious at a young age to pay attention to all opponents in the competition without being arrogant or impatient! Work hard, the hope of Chinese track and field will fall on the shoulders of you young people." Assistant Cai's praise made Li Tian blush. He couldn't say that he attached so much importance to collecting opponents' information because he had learned a lesson in the previous competition.

"Thank you Assistant Cai!" The problem should not be difficult to solve after getting Cai Yuanqing's approval, and Li Tian left with confidence.

When he returned to the training base for rest at noon, Cai Yuanqing quickly sent someone to deliver what Li Tian wanted - a laptop. All the detailed information of all the 3,000 contestants were stored in an athlete information management system on the computer. Through this system operators can easily find, modify or add relevant information of each athlete, which is quite convenient to use.

Since the afternoon was the 100-meter and 200-meter semi-finals, Li Tian, ​​who was determined to win the championship, naturally had no mistakes. Therefore, all the contestants who participated in the semi-finals of these two events were carefully studied and had a comprehensive understanding of these opponents who were about to compete in the same field from their age, physical condition, personal best results and award experience.

Perhaps it was because the audience was enthusiastic in the morning that God had felt that when the competition was about to start in the afternoon, the sky began to clear up, and the dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the long-lost sunlight shone on the field. Both the audience who came to watch the competition and the contestants who participated in the competition were in a good mood.

"Li Tian, ​​wait for the lottery and you'll pray that you won't be in the same group as me, otherwise I will let you know the pain of failure, hum..." Wright still had a strong resentment about Li Tian's ignorance of his strength yesterday. When Li Tian arrived at the players' rest area before the men's 100m semi-finals were checked, Wright couldn't help but step forward and hum.

"Are you so looking forward to losing to me sooner? If so, I wouldn't mind beating you again..." If it were to fight, how could Wright, who was straightforward and impatient, be Li Tian's opponent? He was immediately so furious after a few words.

The subsequent draw results of the 100m and 200m events were ideal for Li Tianlai. Wright and Bolt were divided into Group A for two consecutive times, while Li Tian was divided into Group B, which changed the direct head-on confrontation with the two, leaving the final suspense of the competition in the most critical finals later.

"You are lucky today. When it comes to the finals, I will see how you hide!" Wright and Bolt walked from Li Tian to the field in disappointment. The men's 100-meter semi-finals began.

The weather was better and the audience at the scene was more enthusiastic, but the water vapor evaporated on the gradually warming field made the contestants feel sticky and uncomfortable all over, even players like Li Tian were no exception. Perhaps due to this, the eight players in Group A of the 100m semi-finals were not ideal. Wright, who was ranked first in the group, only ran 10.12 seconds, and Bolt ranked second with a difference of 0.03 seconds, and all entered the final first.

"Hey! I heard that the two players in the group first and second place just now ran into the 10th 100 meters in the preliminaries yesterday! Will Li Tian really have no problem with the final tomorrow?" Seeing Li Tian's two biggest opponents easily enter the final, some spectators couldn't help but worry about tomorrow's battle.

"Don't worry about it there. Li Tian will definitely win the final victory. This is unquestionable. He is our China's "undefeated God of War". When will we disappoint us? So tomorrow we just need to wait for the final celebration with peace of mind." Faced with the doubts of some people, more people said confidently.

"That's right, Li Tian is invincible. Tomorrow we will witness the birth of China's first 100-meter world champion with our own eyes. We are so happy. All the Chinese have been waiting for this day for half a century, but now I feel that I can't wait any longer if I have more one day."

"It's not just the 100-meter champion, but also the 200, 400, and 1,500 meters in the future. I firmly believe that he will create a new history in our Chinese sports." As the competition continues to deepen, the desire for championships among sports fans has become stronger and stronger.

Li Tian was not challenged in the semi-finals of the 100m Group B. The weak level of other players made him easily enter the final with the first place in the group - 10.08 seconds. The first overall semi-final result will also make him at the most ideal pass in the final.

"Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh!" After getting off the 100-meter semi-finals, Li Tian somehow sneezes two times in a row, and even tears couldn't help but flow out.

"Which guy is saying bad things about me behind my back?" Li Tian rubbed his itchy nose with his hands and muttered in a low voice.

"Boss, are you okay? Did you catch a cold in the rain in the morning? Do I want me to go to the team doctor immediately? If you catch a cold in this bone-like eye, it will be troublesome." Tian Chong, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask worriedly. He was eliminated in the 100-meter semi-final just now, and Li Tian was the last hope for the Chinese team to win the championship. If something goes wrong now, then tomorrow's final will be dangerous.

"It's okay, it's okay! I don't know my body yet? I just sneeze twice. What's so fuss about this? Do you think my body has been in vain for so many years? How could it be so easy to catch a cold?" Li Tian waved his hand indifferently and said.

"It's fine, it's fine. Now your body is the most precious, and everyone's hope is placed on you. If you make a little mistake, it would be strange if I don't think it's going to cause a storm right away!" What Tian Chong said is not an exaggeration.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Go and have some activity. There is only a little time left before the 200-meter semi-finals. Instead of worrying about my body, it's better to think about the game for a while." Li Tian pushed Tian Chong into the warm-up training ground for some simple physical activities.

...

"The men's 200m semi-final Group B competition begins now. The first one: Friedhusse, Britain; the second one: Deville, Australia;... the fifth one: Li Tian, ​​China;..." The contestants who entered the semi-finals will get the opportunity to introduce to the audience before the competition, and also have a short time to greet the audience alone. When Li Tian, ​​who was on the fifth one, was on the fifth one, the audience immediately stood up and gave him thunderous applause. He has won honors again and again for the Chinese, and is fully qualified to accept the audience's love and respect for him.

"Athlete goes on the road!... Prepare!..." Under the referee's command, all eight players were ready to start.

He supported the ground to balance the center of gravity of his body, used force to lift his hips, leaned forward, and just as the referee was about to pull the trigger of the starting gun, Li Tian suddenly felt a double shadow appearing in the track in front of him, and a hint of dizziness flashed in his mind. So he raised his right hand high before the gunshot, indicating to the referee that he was not ready.

"Suspend!" The referee put down the starting gun and gave the player a second chance to prepare. The field that had already calmed down became commotion again.

"What's wrong with Li Tian? The opponent's strength is not strong, so you can't be that nervous!"

"For insurance, this is the semi-final after all, so it is right to be serious. Moreover, the results of the semi-finals will ultimately determine the final pass, which is also very important."

...The audience at the scene were speculating on Li Tian’s condition.

Li Tian stood up, closed his eyes and shook his head hard, patted his cheeks with his palm a few times, and after opening his eyes, everything in front of him returned to normal, and his body made him feel nothing wrong. Li Tian couldn't help but wonder if everything just now was an hallucination due to his excessive concentration.
