Chapter 695: The finals are not at home! It's better than home!
The 400m final would not begin for another hour, and Zhao Yun was receiving a massage from Liu Xiangdong in the waiting area.
Head coach Wang Zijie was explaining to Zhao Yun some technical movements that he needed to pay attention to.
Wang Zijie patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Zhao Yun, you have to know that competition is not only a contest of speed, but also a test of mentality. Your strength is obvious to all, but in the finals, mentality often determines victory or defeat. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, keep a normal mind, and believe in your abilities."
He paused and continued, "The body is the capital of the revolution. Don't overdraw for the sake of temporary results. You must allocate your energy reasonably and run at your own pace. Remember, although this is a short distance race, it is indeed a long-distance race for your entire Olympic Games. You must have patience and perseverance."
Wang Zijie looked into Zhao Yun's eyes, as if he could see the future victory through him. His voice was full of trust and encouragement: "I believe in you, Zhao Yun. You have the ability. As long as you play to your level, you will definitely achieve good results. Don't think too much, just let go and run!"
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and didn't say anything, but he listened to everything the coach said.
"Athletes participating in the men's 400m final, please go to the competition venue and prepare for the competition." The voice of the broadcast came into the waiting area.
Zhao Yun stood up, straightened his white sportswear, adjusted the national flag on his chest, and walked out.
"Yanjing TV! Yanjing TV! Dear viewers, the most exciting moment of the night is here. The men's 400-meter final is about to begin, and the contestants have already started entering the venue." The host Yang Jian shouted loudly. "Yifei, do you know anything about the 400-meter race?"
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said seriously, "The 400-meter race is a very challenging sprint event. It requires not only excellent speed and explosive power, but also good endurance and sense of rhythm. In the competition, the athletes need to burst out the greatest energy in a short period of time and sprint at full speed. At the same time, they need to pay attention to breathing and rhythm control to maintain a good state. In addition, the 400-meter race is also a test of the athletes' psychological quality. Especially in the final stage of the competition, the athletes often face tremendous pressure because at this time the athletes' body's lactic acid tolerance has almost reached a critical point."
Liu Yangyu took over Liu Yifei's words and said, "That's why everyone calls the 400-meter race the 400-meter death race! It's because it's between aerobic and anaerobic exercise, and it really tests the athletes' ability to adjust quickly. That's why many professional athletes can't stand this kind of competition."
Yang Jian said, "What you two said is very good. Yifei, are you a little more worried about your idol now after listening to what Coach Liu said?"
Liu Yifei covered her chest and said, "I'm really worried! Zhao Yun made it to the finals in his first Olympic Games. I don't know how he's been resting recently. My heart is pounding now." Liu Yifei's words were a little incoherent, but the audience understood her words and could see her worry.
"Okay, let's take a look at the players on the field."
"First, the runner in the second lane is the talented teenager Bloomfield from Jamaica. He is the future hope of Jamaican sprinting. He is very tall and has a stride close to Bolt. His running style is also very similar to Zhao Yun."
"The third runner is from the American team's genius Michael Norman. Born in 1995, he is just 20 years old this year, but now he has become the new leader of the American team in the meters. The pride of the American team in the meters, LaShawn Merritt, and the loneliness of Wariner did not make the American team underestimate the time. They welcomed their new king of the meters."
"The runner in lane 1994 was born in . He is now a world record holder, world champion, and one of the four kings of the m. He is also one of the most sought-after stars in the m, the South African king - Van Niekerk;"
Van Niekerk's introduction immediately drew cheers from the audience, who filled the stadium with thunderous applause and cheers. The audience waved their national flags excitedly, chanted Van Niekerk's name, and their faces were filled with pride and expectation.
Standing on the runway, Van Niekerk felt the enthusiastic support of the audience. He smiled and waved to the audience, his eyes flashing with confidence and gratitude.
Van Niekerk took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared for the upcoming challenge. He knew that on this stage, he not only represented himself, but also the glory of South Africa. He would go all out to present a wonderful game for the audience.
"The runner in lane five was born in 1996. He is one of the four kings of the m, the runner-up of the World Championships, the champion of the Diamond League Finals, and also the hottest star in the m. Although Van Niekerk is the m world record holder, he has always won more games than he has lost in the competition with Van Niekerk. He is the leader of the rise of sprinting in the Flower Planting Family, the Tiger King - Zhao! Yun!!"
Although Van Niekerk received a lot of cheers just now, Zhao Yun, as the most popular star in the sprint event today, received even bigger applause and cheers.
The enthusiasm of the audience burned like a flame, they held the national flag high, with proud smiles on their faces. Cheers and shouts rose one after another, like a surging wave, drowning the entire stadium.
Zhao Yun stood on the field, his eyes firm and confident. He knew that he represented the flower growers and shouldered the expectations of countless people. He straightened his spine, like an unshakable mountain, exuding an unparalleled aura.
When he pointed at the national flag on his chest, the bright red color seemed to shine brightly against his white sportswear. He shouted loudly and clearly to the camera, "China! China!"
This is his affectionate confession to his motherland and his firm belief in his own strength.
The passion of the thousands of flower-growing spectators at the scene was completely ignited. They shouted "China! China!" in unison, and the sound was like thunder and shocked the hearts. Their eyes were fixed on Zhao Yun in the field. Everyone felt the unity and strength of the flower-growing nation. This national pride reached its peak at this moment.
At this moment, it seems that this is not Rio, but rather the flower growers’ own home court.
Zhao Yun's confidence comes not only from his strength, but also from the powerful motherland behind him. He knows that he is fighting for his country and his nation. This sense of mission makes him extremely powerful and fearless of any challenge.
The contestants from other countries looked at this scene with envy and admiration in their eyes.
This shocking scene was transmitted to the whole world through the camera, and the national pride of the flower-growing people at the scene completely shocked the world.
This is the rise of a great power, this is the foundation of a great power, and this is the unity of the country.
"The runner in lane six is also one of the four great kings of the 400 meters, a genius from Grenada and the champion of the last Olympic Games—Kilarney James;"
"The seventh runner is from Botswana. People call him the fifth king, Makawala. He is a late bloomer. He didn't run as well as he should have at the last World Championships in Britain because of food poisoning. This time he will make a comeback and the world will surely see his true strength."
"The eighth laner is the talented Gardner of the Bahamas;"
"The ninth player is the young player Zambrano from Colombia;"
