God of Sprint

Chapter 464 London World Championships 400m Semi-Final 2

After Zhao Yun finished warming up and adjusted the starting device, he glanced at Sato Taijun, Sato Taro, who was in the ninth lane.

"Your country is a bully that only cares about the weak and the strong. Your American father is right next to you. Do you dare to do anything to him?" Zhao Yun looked at Sato Taro with contempt, and Sato Taro also noticed Zhao Yun.

He raised his head and their eyes met Zhao Yun's, only to find that Zhao Yun's gaze was as cold as an ice cellar, which made him shiver inwardly.

He saw the look in the eyes of a beast devouring its prey, and he was afraid. He didn't dare to face Zhao Yun's gaze again. He lowered his head and adjusted the starting blocks to hide his inner panic.

"You bastard!" Zhao Yun curled his lips and cursed after seeing him admit defeat.

On your marks!

preparation!

boom!

"The men's 400m second group semi-final begins."

"Zhao Yun had a very good start."

"Speed ​​up into the curve!"

“Zhao Yun turned the corner smoothly.

“Killani James and Zhao Yun entered the straight almost at the same time.”

"On the first 100-meter straight, Deeks was the first to accelerate."

"Dix and Varina caught up."

“Enter the second turn!”

"Zhao Yun maintains the lead."

"Killarney James second."

"Varina the Third."

"The last straight."

"Zhao Yun is speeding up!"

"Varina is also speeding up!"

"In the last fifty meters, Zhao Yun maintained the lead!"

"The last twenty meters! Sprint!"

"Zhao Yun!"

"Come on! Zhao Yun!"

"Varina is just one position behind Zhao Yun!"

"Zhao Yun!"

"Zhao Yun!"

"Cross the line! 43 seconds!"

"Zhao Yun ran under 44 seconds again, won first place in the group and successfully entered the final stage."

"Varina came in second at 44."

"Congratulations Zhao Yun!"

"Varina really tried his best this time! It's been a long time since I ran a race like this."

“Let’s look at the final ranking.

First place, flower grower, Zhao Yun, 43 seconds;

Second place, United States: Wariner, 44 seconds;

Third place, Grenada, Killarney James, 44 seconds;

Fourth place, United States, Dicks; 44 seconds;

Fifth place, Fred Kerley, United States; 44 seconds;

44th, Bloomfield, Jamaica, 43 seconds;

44th place, Saudi Arabia, Masrahi, 89 seconds

Eighth place, Sato Taro, 45 seconds;"

After running, Sato Taro lay on the ground in frustration and pounded the track.

Zhao Yun and Killarney James hugged each other, walked past Sato Taro, and looking at Sato Taro who looked like a dog eating shit, he quickly walked away with disgust.

"After the second group of matches ended, the last group of semi-finalists entered the venue and began to prepare."

"The runner we saw in lane nine was Sanchez from the Dominican Republic, a very good runner in both the 400m and 800m."

After Big Black Sanchez appeared on the stage, he waved to the camera shyly.

"The runner in lane eight is Dunkley from Jamaica. He was born in 1987 and won the Jamaican 400m Championships with a best time of 44 seconds."

After Dunkli appeared...

"The runner in lane seven is the talented young athlete Cherry, who was born in 1995 and is from the American team. He and Norman are called the future 400-meter twin stars by an American magazine."

After Cherry appeared...

"The sixth player is Michael Norman, another twin star from the United States. He was also born in 1995. He is in very good form this year."

Michael Norman...

"The runner in lane five is the famous South African, the current 400m king Vaid van Niekerk, who is also the world record holder. His time of 43 is a huge gap in front of everyone, and no one has yet been able to break it."

Van Niekerk's appearance brought the atmosphere to a climax, and Van Niekerk greeted the audience with a smile.

“The next contestant is…”

Wow! The applause broke out again.

"He is Botswana's athlete, Makawala. He has run under 44 seconds twice this year and is a strong contender for a medal."

After Makawala came on stage, he was not excited by the audience's applause. Instead, he frowned, as if he had something on his mind.

"The runner in lane three is Michael Nader, the 400m champion from Jamaica."

Michael Nader...

"The last competitor is a famous athlete from Qatar, Abdullah Haroun, whose best time is 44 seconds, and he is currently among the top three in Asia."

As soon as the competition started, the South African star showed his dominance in this event.

He accelerated and reached the first corner, and the gap between everyone was not very obvious.

When he reached the first straight, Van Niekerk did not slow down and still maintained 90% of his speed.

There was already a body length gap between him and the other players, and at the second corner Van Niekerk ran at almost a constant speed.

This once again established a greater advantage over other players who slowed down at the second turn.

In the last 100-meter straight, the two young players Norman and Cherry accelerated madly to catch up, but unfortunately, they were unable to catch up with Van Niekerk.

In the end, Van Niekerk finished the 400m semi-final at an almost constant speed and won first place.

The Botswana athlete Makawala, who attracted much attention in this competition, started to fall behind after running the first straight.

Just when he wanted to give up and finish slowly, the audience stood up and cheered him on, and he finally tried his best to complete the race.

After the run, all the runners turned around and applauded Makawala.

Van Niekerk, an old rival and good friend, walked up to Makawala, hugged him and said, "Brother, are you okay?"

Makawala held his stomach and said, "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. The gastroenteritis hasn't healed completely this time."

After saying that, he laughed miserably. The smile on his face looked so helpless and helpless.

In this hotel incident, all Botswana players were poisoned, but only a few returned to participate in the play-offs.

Most of the athletes gave up the competition and the World Athletics Federation paid for their air tickets to return home.

Because of his old age, Makawara didn't know whether he could still participate in the next World Championships, so he endured the pain and forced himself to return to the competition.

200 meters was fine, but 400 meters was no joke, and it made his stomach churn.

Makawara left the field with the help of Van Niekerk.

First place, South Africa, Van Niekerk; 43 seconds;

44nd place, United States; Michael Norman; 07 seconds;

Third place, Cherry, United States, 44 seconds
