Chapter 451 Semi-finalists
The sixth group of qualifying players is definitely the most luxurious group in the current group stage.
Famous players such as LaShawn Merritt, Hughes, Cherry, and Zambrano were all assigned to this matchup.
During the warm-up phase, everyone had a serious expression and looked ready for battle.
As expected, after the competition started, the four players started fighting fiercely.
This fight lasted until the second bend, and it was still unclear who had the absolute advantage.
After entering the second turn, LaShawn Merritt took the lead and entered the straight first as the leader.
After entering the straight, Cherry took the lead in speeding up to catch up with LaShawn Merritt, followed by Hughes and Zambrano who also started to exert their strength.
In the final sprint, LaShawn Merritt relied on his advantage to win the first place in the sixth group. His result was 44.
切里44秒13获得了第二名，休斯44秒24获得了第三名，赞布拉诺44秒26获得了第四名。
With this result, Hughes and Zambrano both have a great chance of advancing to the semi-finals.
The seventh group of matches is also the one that Zhao Yun is most concerned about, because there is a player in this group who Zhao Yun cannot say he can definitely beat, the South African star Van Niekerk.
In addition, American star Dix is also in this group.
After the start of the race, Van Niekerk in the sixth lane and Dix in the fifth lane began to exert their strength.
After the first corner, Van Niekerk and Dix were ahead of the others.
After entering the second corner, Van Niekerk and Dix expanded their advantage again, and entering the last straight, they had a clear gap with the players behind them.
In the last ten meters, both of them began to reduce their strength and slowed down. In the end, Van Niekerk won the first place with 44 seconds, even though they did not try their best. Dix won the second place with 08 seconds.
Van Niekerk seemed unremarkable throughout the entire race, but his results were indeed very good.
Zhao Yun's brows furrowed as he watched, because he could see that Van Niekerk had made great progress and his control over the game was at his will. His best result must be quite terrifying.
The last group of races was seeded by the veteran American athlete Wariner. Another American all-around speed king, Fred Kerley, also competed. In addition, the Jamaican 400m champion Michael Nader was also in this group.
The two American players hugged before the game.
After the race started, Fred Corley, the all-around speed champion, took advantage of his starting reaction and entered the corner ahead of his opponents.
In the blade stage, Wariner advanced alongside Fred Colley thanks to his excellent cornering skills.
When it came to the straight-line stage, Michael Nader was not to be outdone and began to catch up with the two American players.
Entering the curve again, Wariner, who has the second-best cornering speed in the world, began to exert his strength and instantly opened up a gap with Coleley and Michael Nader.
Wariner was the first to enter the straight, and after reaching the straight, he continued to run towards the finish line without slowing down.
In the end, Varina won the first place in the last group of competition with a time of 44 seconds.
Fred Colley finished second in 44 seconds and Michael Nader finished third in 21 seconds.
Yang Jian said, "Okay, audience friends, now all the athletes participating in the men's 400m preliminaries have finished their competitions."
"Let's take a look at the list of semi-finalists and their groupings announced on the big screen."

Yang Jian said, "The above is the list of candidates for the semi-finals."
Liu Yangyu looked at the grouping on the big screen and said, "From the grouping of the semi-finals, Zhao Yun's group is definitely a fierce competition. Killarney James, Wariner and Zhao Yun, three 400m kings, are in the same group. The competition pressure is very high."
"It is true that the competition pressure in the second group where Zhao Yun is is much greater than that in the other two groups. This is the World Championships. The top track and field athletes from all countries gather together, which will lead to such consequences. I can only say that I hope Zhao Yun can maintain his good condition and fight his way out of this dangerous situation in the semi-finals."
Liu Yangyu said, "Based on my experience, this World Championships is likely to be a preview of next year's Olympics, so Zhao Yun needs to adapt to the intensity in advance.
In the last World Championships, Zhao Yun was unable to enter the finals of the 400m due to injury. This time, I hope he can pay attention to his opponent’s tricks, especially since there are athletes in their group who are not doing badly this time.”
After Liu Yangyu finished speaking, the internet immediately went wild, and everyone remembered that Zhao Yun failed to enter the finals of the 2013 World Championships, which was a pain for Zhao Yun's fans.
After that World Championships, many people said that if Zhao Yun hadn't been injured, he would definitely have won three gold medals.
It was the player "Little Days Are Not Bad" who used despicable means to ruin Zhao Yun's three consecutive championships.
"Competitors from less well-off countries shouldn't be competing with humans. They should only be playing with dogs on the street."
"Yes! The craftsman spirit of this country is the spirit of bowing. If something goes wrong, they will bow, and then everything will be fine."
Some pro-Japanese elements stood up and said, "In this kind of situation, the players of the Empire of Japan would not do this. Liu Yangyu would set the pace. Zhao Yun's injury that time was completely an accident, okay!"
Someone immediately retorted, "Next time I beat your mother to death, it can be considered an accident, okay? He's your biological father, why are you so protective of him?"
"You flower-growing family are totally unreasonable."
"We are the Flower Planting Family? You are not a Flower Planting Family? @花种家国安! Check if he is a spy!"
This person's speech immediately aroused the suspicion of more and more people. They suspected that he was a spy who lived a good life, and they all @ed the national security of the flower-growing family.
The National Security Network Monitoring Center also noticed this situation and began to monitor this person's information and person.
In the end, it was discovered that he was indeed a public intellectual who accepted money from people who lived a good life to whitewash their lives.
This public intellectual had been hiding for more than ten years, but he never expected that his identity would be discovered by netizens and taken away by the National Security Bureau just because he said something wrong.
