After seeing the list, Yang Jian of CTV5 commented, "From the list, we can see that all of them are striped flags, which not only shows the advantage of fighting on home soil, but also shows the strength of the American players under the striped flag.
The red flags representing the flower-growing families are also very eye-catching. With three flags, it is clear that the field sprinting of the flower-growing families is on the rise. Three of the four flower-growing families were shortlisted. Only Zhang Peimeng unfortunately did not make it to the semi-finals. "
“Since the competition in Rome, Italy will be held in four days, the Diamond League schedule is quite tight. The 100m semi-final will be held in two hours! This is a great test of the physical and mental strength of the athletes!”
"After all, you have to take a flight from New York to Italy, which doesn't give you time to rest and adapt to the time difference, so many players either participate in the New York station competition or the Rome station competition. They choose to compete in selective competitions to maintain their competitive state. Of course, most of the players who compete in the United States choose to compete in their home country, which is beneficial to their commercial value!"
While Yang Jian was chatting, Zhao Yun was also taking the time to rest to maintain his condition for the next game. Zhao Yun had given up the Eugene Station competition, and it would be too embarrassing if he capsized in the ditch after resting for so long.
After two hours of adjustment, the official staff organized the players of Group A of the semi-finals to enter the game.
Yang Jian explained after seeing it, "Hello, viewers? You are now watching the 5m semi-final of the Diamond League New York Station, broadcast exclusively for you by CTV."
"We saw that the three players from the Flower Growers were all assigned to Group A."
When Zhao Yun appeared on the field, the familiar recipe and the familiar taste were there. CTV5 quickly switched to advertising.
"If you are afraid of getting a sore throat, drink Jiaduobao now! The red can of herbal tea with the highest sales in the country has been renamed Jiaduobao. If you are afraid of getting a sore throat, drink Jiaduobao. ..................................................................................."
"If you are afraid of getting a sore throat, drink Wanglaoji. Wanglaoji has never changed its name. Please make sure to buy the genuine Wanglaoji herbal tea when you buy it! If you are afraid of getting a sore throat, drink Wanglaoji..........................................................."
Zhao Yun started running several times to adjust the starting block to the best position. Then all the runners from the second lane to the ninth lane were ready!
The referee yelled, "On your marks!"
"preparation!"
"boom!"
"Okay! The competition has begun. Zhao Yun is leading the way. He has already opened up a gap with the other players in the first three steps."
“Only Justin Gatlin can barely keep up with Zhao Yun.”
"In the last fifty meters, Zhao Yun accelerated! Zhao Yun took off! Zhao Yun was very stable!"
"In the last ten meters, Zhao Yun slowed down! Zhao Yun controlled his speed again! The other players caught up!"
"Fortunately, Zhao Yun managed to cross the finish line without any danger at the fastest speed! The result displayed now is 9.91 seconds."
The commentary of the 100-meter race is so boring, you can only yell a few words and then the race is over.
"The final results are out! Let's take a look at the final results!"
First place, flower grower, Zhao Yun! 9.91 seconds
9.93nd place, United States, Justin Gatlin, seconds
Third place, United States, Ke Li, 9.96 seconds.
Fourth place, United States, Ryan Bailey, 9.99 seconds.
Fifth place, United States, Traewan Bromell, 10.00 seconds.
Sixth place, United States, Michael Rogers, 10.01 seconds.
Seventh place, flower grower Xie Zhenye, 10.04 seconds.
Eighth place, flower grower, Su Bingtian, 10.08 seconds
"First of all, we congratulate Zhao Yun for entering the 100m final. Unfortunately, the other two players from the Flower Growers, Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian, did not make it to the final!"
After Xie Zhenye finished running, he squatted on the sidelines and cried loudly, feeling wronged and unwilling! After seeing this, Su Bingtian comforted Xie Zhenye beside him! The two also trained and ate together every day. Su Bingtian knew why Xie Zhenye cried! It was not easy for him this year. He put in a lot of exercise, and his waist and feet were injured. Sometimes he would wake up in pain in the middle of the night.
After Zhao Yun hugged Gatlin, he saw his fellow fighters on the sidelines. He walked over, squatted down, and said comfortingly, "Do you still want to win?"
Xie Zhenye sobbed and said nothing.
Zhao Yun shouted, "I ask you if you still want to do it?"
Xie Zhenye nodded.
"Stand up like a man! I'm telling you, when you get back, train with me and I guarantee you'll be able to make it to the finals!"
"Remember these tears and pains. They will never happen again!"
"Brother Su, pick up the national flag and put it on him. You two can join me in thanking the audience!"
Su Bingtian went outside the venue to get the national flag.
Zhao Yun said to them, "Haven't you always dreamed of wearing the national flag in a foreign stadium? I'll let you put it on now. See if you can hold up this flag. See how heavy it is. See if it can crush you. See if this flag, stained with the blood of countless revolutionary predecessors, is so easy to put on!"
Zhao Yun took the flag from Su Bingtian and draped it over Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian, and then thanked the audience with them. When the national flag was draped over them, their waists obviously bent down! Thinking of this flag that countless predecessors had exchanged their lives for, what was the pain they suffered? Was their contribution more precious than their lives?
