Chapter 198: The World's Uproar in the Semi-Finals
After the fourth group of contestants finished the competition, the fifth group of contestants entered the competition.
This competition was also fierce. The competition was very close from the beginning. In the first 300 meters, it was not clear who had a huge advantage. In the last 100 meters of the straight line, the two young Bahamian players Gardner and Isayang stood out and began to lead the other players. In the end, Isayang was slightly ahead of Gardner with his explosive power in the latter part of the race and was the first to touch the finish line and won the first place.
In the fifth group, the first place winner, Isa Young, ran a time of 44.64, and the second place winner, Gardner, ran a time of 44.70.
In the sixth group, Jamaican genius Bloomfield performed brilliantly. Born in 1994, the young Bloomfield is regarded as Bolt's successor. He is 1 meters tall, 98 centimeters taller than Bolt. His sprinting talent is not inferior to that of Bolt at the same time. He has straight long legs, a wide running stride, and a strong ability to sprint and overtake in the late game, just like Bolt back then.
Finally, with his unparalleled acceleration performance in the 44.18-meter straight line, he defeated Cuban player Robert who won first place in the group with 44.28, while Robert won second place with .
In the last group, Alonso Edward and Zhao Yun's younger brother Michael Norman started the competition. The two were evenly matched at the beginning, but in the second half, Michael Norman's physical strength was obviously insufficient, but the result was good.
Alonso Edwards won the first place in the group in 44.43 seconds, and Michael Norman won the second place in 44.68 seconds.

The semi-final match will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon. After reading the list, Zhao Yun packed his luggage and returned to the hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Wang Zijie asked Zhao Yun about his health, "How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
In fact, Zhao Yun already felt uncomfortable, but in a game that so many people were watching, Zhao Yun still wanted to give it a try to see if he could bring back the third gold medal. Zhao Yun decided to use the system coins to buy a bottle of primary potion to relieve fatigue and restore physical strength.
He said to Wang Zijie, "Don't worry! There is absolutely no problem!"
Zhao Yun patted his chest and said, "I feel like I can still run a marathon!"
"Okay! There's a problem! Let's stop the loss in time! Don't be stubborn, just go back and continue training! Our goal is to play on a bigger stage! Don't lose the big picture for the small!"
"Don't worry! I won't let myself get hurt."
Wang Zijie was relieved to see Zhao Yun say this. After they had finished their meal, they let Zhao Yun take a short rest to recover his strength.

"Yanjing TV! Yanjing TV! Hello, dear viewers! You are now watching the live broadcast of the men's 5m semi-finals of the 2014 IAAF Diamond League Birmingham Station exclusively broadcast by CTV400."
"Team A is all done! Ready!"
On your marks!
preparation!
boom!
"Okay! The semi-final group A has started! Norman started from lane 7 and started quickly. He was in the first 200 meters. Gardner accelerated strongly at the last corner and took wide strides to narrow the gap."
"Going into the straight, James and Van Niekerk had a clear lead,"
“In the crucial final 50-meter sprint, Van Niekerk maintained his strong speed and surpassed Killarney James in an instant, taking the first position and crossing the finish line first with a clear advantage, running a time of 43 seconds to win first place.
"Dominican Republic's Santos finished second with a time of 43 seconds, tying his country's record set in the semifinals,"
"James finished third in 44 seconds,"
"American star Cherry finished fourth with 44 seconds, and Norman did not perform as expected, finishing fifth with 21 seconds. Although he has outstanding talent, he has never been able to prove himself in major competitions, and he missed out on a medal again after the World Championships in Kitayama."

Zhao Yun straightened his clothes, jumped a few times on the spot, and came to the competition site to warm up.
"The next competitors to appear are the 400m semi-final group B."
"Let's first take a look at the lane divisions of the players on the field!"

"Welcome back, the referee has signaled the contestants to start preparing!"
On your marks!
set!
"The game is on,"
"Zhao Yun's start this time doesn't look that smooth! It seems a bit stiff!"
"Acceleration phase! Zhao Yun is not in a hurry to catch up! He still follows his own pace!"
"American Alonso Edwards has taken the lead!"
"Alonso Edouard was leading the race for the first 200 meters."
"Coming out of the last bend and onto the straight, Gordon started to overtake Alonso Edouard. He came to the first place!"
"In the last fifty meters, Zhao Yun began to speed up! His two long legs swung up!"
"Zhao Yun surpassed Alonso Edward and started running side by side with Gordon!"
"In the last ten meters, the two of them looked at each other and felt a little relieved!"
"But the placement was not too obvious, and both of them were on the line at the same time."
“Let’s see the final result!”
"The final results are out. Zhao Yun came in first with 44.08 seconds, Gordon came in second with 44.10 seconds, and Alonso Edwards came in third with 44.20 seconds."
“Two British players, Alex and Smith, came in fourth and fifth respectively.”
"Isayang got six!"
"American veteran Wariner performed poorly and only finished seventh."
"Another young American athlete, Lyles, finished eighth."
After Zhao Yun rushed out of the baseline, he shook hands with each player on the field and wished them all the best.
Zhao Yun came up to Lyles and said, "Don't be discouraged! You don't have to rush to achieve results now. You should accumulate experience first. You are not trying to surpass anyone, you just want to make yourself better!"
Lyles did not show any arrogance in front of his idol, but nodded happily and said, "Thank you!"
Zhao Yun rubbed his head and then went back to the locker room.
Then in the third group of semi-finals, an unexpected event that shocked the world happened again.
