August 22, the eighth day of the World Championship.

At about 1:40 p.m., nearly 10,000 spectators gathered in front of the entire Brandenburg Gate, and were waiting for the closer and closer in the distance.

The police and the staff of the event organizing committee, who are maintaining order on the street, constantly sweep the crowd across the street, constantly maintaining order to prevent reporters or spectators from suddenly breaking into the street.

The street now takes place in the women's marathon, one of the major events of the Berlin World Championships, and the whole race starts from the Brandenburg Gate and then passes through the Boulevard under the Bodhi Tree, Paris Square and several other attractions, and finally returns to the Brandenburg Gate again.

The women’s marathon starts at 11:15 a.m. and has now been more than two hours since the runners who have gone around the entire race, should now be returning to the finish line.

The heads of the streets, the red flags and the cameras of all kinds, waiting to see who crossed the finish line first.

Ye Qin, with his duck tongue cap and Zhang Peimen and Su Chuangtian, stood in the middle of the crowd, also watching the women's marathon near the finish line.

He now basically travels with simple chomases, so as not to be recognized in public to cause a great stir.Fortunately, there are many people on both sides of the street, many people are slightly face-blind for Asian faces, as long as he is not particularly noticed, he will not be recognized immediately.

Tonight is the men's 4 × 100 meters relay preliminaries, although the time is very tight, but the practice of the people from the beginning, until the first few days in Berlin, has not stopped.

By now, the preliminaries were ready for the preliminaries, and while the entire relay team did not stay in the station, but came to the Brandenburg Gate.

The first is to cheer for Chinese women's marathon runners, and the second is to avoid being too nervous before the race, and feel the atmosphere of the competition.

And in the previous world championships, we also came out to see the marathon, when Zhou Junxiu was to get a silver medal, simply follow the old example, together to adjust the tense mentality.

“Here it is, here it is!”

Zhang Pei Meng, who was standing next to Ye Qin, looked at the distant street on his tiptoe and suddenly shouted.

Ye Qin and Su Chutian, a few people, suddenly spirited, hurried towards the distant street.

The sound of a car whistle sounded, and in the distant street, a white filming car was slowly moving from far and near, slowly driving in the ancient world.

There is a professional cameraman in the car, with a huge camera, shooting in the back, that kind of position if it is not to know that the other party is a camera, but also can be mistaken for a military vehicle frame machine gun.

“Who’s in front?”

Among a few people, Su propian was relatively short, pulling a few people's shoulders and asking questions.

"It's not a show."

Gu Kai glanced at the distance and casually replied that although he usually wears glasses in the game, his vision is not particularly good.

However, in the marathon program, even if there are several excellent athletes in the country in recent years, it is not easy to break the siege of the Ethiopian and Kenyan armies.

If in long-distance projects such as women's 10,000 meters, domestic or other athletes can compete with two countries in East Africa, in the marathon, there are very few other countries that can be formed for them.

Of course, there are still a few Chinese and Japanese athletes here, but they want to compete for the championship, or some difficulties.

“No!”

Just as the Gu Kai voice had just fallen, next to Su Chuangtian had excitedly exclaimed, "Our team members."

“The athletes?”Gu Kai, who just had a negative attitude, came to the spirit in an instant, "It is Zhou Junxiu, I know, she will definitely report the revenge of the runner-up of the last world championship."

"It's not a pure show, it's Bai Xue, it's Bai Xue!"

Zhang Pei Meng did not care about the moment of Gu Kai's attitude, the change, has shouted loudly.

In the distant street, behind the camera car, a thin figure wearing a red sportswear appeared in front of everyone.

Ye Qin also recognized the figure when several people shouted, not someone else, it was one of the female athletes who participated in the Berlin World Championships, Bai Xue.

With the camera car and Bai Xue getting closer, everyone also saw a player behind Bai Xue, also not a black athlete in the East African country, but a Japanese female athlete, who was struggling to catch up with Bai Xue in front.

“It really is Snow!”At this time, Gu Kai almost saw the appearance of the player.

“Kate, you should change your glasses!”

Looking at the appearance of Bai Xue, a few people next to him laughed and quipped towards Gukai.

"Yes, I'll change one when I get home, and that number seems to have deepened."

Gu Kai replied with a smile, he was equally excited in his heart, but he did not want to give himself too good expectations, so as not to disappoint the final result.

But now the result was beyond his hope.

“Snow, come on!“Snow, come on!”

Seeing that Bai Xue first ran towards the end of the line, at the most critical time, everyone was excited and shouted.

A lot of other Chinese overseas students waiting in the finish line position are also cheering loudly.

Now it has reached the last few hundred meters of the championship competition stage, although the distance between the players is still relatively far away, but after a long run, this time even a little slower, I am afraid will be surpassed by others.

Marathons may not be as dramatic as sprinting because of their long time, but their huge influence and wide participation are unmatched by general athletics.

Many marathons held every year attract a large number of ordinary track and field enthusiasts to participate.At this time, in China, such as long-distance running or night running, it is not particularly popular, but in many parts of Europe, marathons have always been the most popular event for many ordinary people.

200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters...

The front of Bai Xue and behind her is not far from the Japanese runner Ogasaki is beautiful, has been getting closer and closer to the finish line...

Everyone's nerves were a little nervous, and finally, the last 50 meters away, Bai Xue did not give Ogasaki a beautiful opportunity, the first step across the finish line.

Before the finish line, the Chinese coaches and staff who had been waiting there soon came forward to help Bai Xue and accompany her to slowly walk on the ground.

“Very well!”

Ye Qin several people watched Bai Xue successfully win the women's marathon champion, can not help but warmly raise their hands.

Bai Xue is younger than Ye Qin and Zhang Pei Meng, and one year older than Su Chongtian, which is her first time to participate in the world championships, the second time to participate in the international marathon, but successfully won the championship, becoming the youngest ever women's world marathon champion.

Moreover, Bai Xue is also the first Chinese athlete to win a marathon at the world championships, and at the 2007 Osaka World Championships, Chinese runner Zhou Junxiu just won the silver medal, and the Yanjing Olympic Games were bronze.Finally, some Chinese runners won the marathon project.

At the same time, Zhou Junxiu won the fourth place in this marathon, although he was unable to win a medal, but the two Chinese runners achieved such outstanding results, which can be said to be quite satisfactory.

Such achievements, ordinary people may not be particularly able to understand, but for them, track and field athletes, they deeply know the meaning of it.

Bai Xue won the women's marathon, which also means that the total number of gold medals of the Chinese track and field team in this world championship has risen to four.

After leaving the Brandenburg Gate, Ye Qin and several others returned to the Chinese team, first doing a simple warm-up exercise, and then simply eating something and resting.

At about 8:30 p.m., everyone took the bus to the Olympic Stadium.

The time of the game is 20 seconds 10 minutes, the Olympic Stadium spectator, at this time has been a sea of people, full of seats.

The men's 4×100m relay preliminaries were divided into three preliminaries, with a total of 18 teams participating.

Among them, the United States team as the last world championship men's 4 × 100 meters champion, is to take the wild card directly to participate, Germany is as the host team to participate, and then there are 16 other countries or regions with the best results of the world to participate in the relay team.

The rule for reaching the final is that the top two teams in each group advance directly to the final, and then the remaining two relay teams with the best score enter the final.

The six teams in the first group of the preliminaries are Japan, South Africa, France, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago and Brazil.

The final result was that Trinidad and Tobago and Japan finished in the top two in the group with a time of 38.47 and 38.53, respectively.

The Trinidad and Tobago team itself is the current strong team in the relay project, as an island country in Central America, although it is not as world-famous as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago also has first-class sprinters including Richard Thompson and Mark Burns.

Japan has grown very rapidly in the relay projects in recent years, almost the footsteps of the Chinese team, and the results have improved.On a personal level, the Japanese team may not be as strong as other relay teams, but the strength is average, and the technology of handing over the baton is excellent.

At present, the Chinese team, if there is no Ye Qin as the fourth bar, compared to the strength of the Japanese team is even slightly worse.

At 20:18, six relay teams from the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries were played, with six teams being Poland, Thailand, Italy, Australia, Jamaica and Germany.

Among them, Jamaica as the Yanjing Olympic 4 × 100 meters champion and the current world record holder, the most optimistic about the outside world, everyone wants to see the men's 4 × 100 meters relay at the World Championships, whether the Jamaica team can once again create a miracle to break the world record.

The German team as host.

When the four German relay players played, it caused a cheer in the whole field, and it was natural to see their athletes in the competitions held in their own countries, and that sense of intimacy and support was naturally indisputable.

It was just that the preliminaries were clearly disappointing to many German spectators.

After the start of the game, in the first stick when the German team players play is still very stable, the second best players in front of many spectators, play is also good, unfortunately, when the two or three sticks handover, the German team appeared a major handover stick error.

Throughout the Olympic Stadium, a huge exclaim for a while was almost heartbreaking.

In this preliminaries, the first group was won by Italy, with a time of 38.52 seconds.

The Jamaican team advanced to the final with the second result of the group, the result was 38.60 seconds, although the results are not particularly good, but in this group of preliminaries, the two core figures of the Jamaican team, Youce Bott and Asafaville, are only on the sidelines, and did not play.

Jamaica relies entirely on two substitutes and two official players to get this result, and its strong strength can be imagined.

At 20:26 p.m., the third group of the men's 4×100m relay race officially began.

Ye Qin stood in the handover area of the fourth baton, carefully began to measure the steps, there are many spectators on the sidelines who are shouting his name, but he was not distracted except that he had a beckoning accident at the beginning.

This group of relay preliminaries, in accordance with the original plan of the track and field team, is to hope that he will not play, can get a rest.

However, after the group came out, Ye Qin took the initiative to play, because the strength of this group is very strong, if he does not play, the Chinese team is likely to get the opportunity to advance to the final.

In his preliminaries, the eight relay teams are the United States, the Netherlands, Canada, Portugal, the United Kingdom and China.

Such a lineup is gathered in a group, receiving no less attention than other groups.

The strength of the other five teams is quite strong, especially the last world championship champion United States team and the Athens Olympic Games British team, these two teams have won the championship team, the average strength of the players, the relay technology is excellent.

Only the first two teams to advance directly to the final, facing the United States and the British team's lineup, if Ye Qin does not play, it is likely that the Chinese team can only get the third or fourth position.

This is very dangerous for the Chinese team to reach the final.

The first stick of the Chinese team is Su Chongtian, the second stick is Zhang Pei Meng, the third stick is Gu Kai, and the fourth stick is Ye Qin.

In this set of preliminaries, Ye Qin also noticed that the United States did not send Jason Gable, his four sticks are, the first stick Trammell, the second stick Michael Rogers, the third stick Sean Claude, the fourth stick Davis Barton.

After a shot, the game officially begins!

The first stick of Su Chuangtian after the 07 years of the world championships, the 08 years of the World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games exercise, and now the personal start acceleration has reached a first-class level, the speed is very fast.

The handover of one or two sticks is also perfect.After the start, Zhang Pei Meng was second only to the United States and the United Kingdom, and the second best player in Canada.

Then there is the handover of two or three sticks, the third stick of the Chinese team is Gukai, at this time the Chinese team in the whole slightly down a little, in the fourth place, slower than the Canadian team in front.

Ye Qin waited quietly in the handover area of the fourth baton.

Soon above the bend, the third best players of the six teams appeared quickly.

The third stick of the U.S. team is Sean Claude, the veteran who once won the fourth place in the men's 100 meters and the first place in the 200 meters at the Athens Olympic Games, whether it is explosive or curve technology, it is quite excellent.

The first to enter the relay area to complete the handover stick, but at this time, Sean-Claude seems to have slowed down early, and the fourth stick of Davis Barton appeared a major handover baton error!

In an instant, the atmosphere of the stadium seemed to freeze, and countless American spectators in front of the scene and the TV couldn't help but hold their heads in an annoyed, and Jason Gaby on the sidelines squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand.

The United States team is strong in 4×100 meters, but the technology on the handover stick has always been audacious to compliment.The members of the relay team have always been ranked according to the results of the national selection competition, so that they have always had a major gap in the technology of handing over the baton.

At this moment, Ye Qin also noticed the mistakes of the American team, but it was too late for him to think that Gu Kai had run quickly towards him.

The rapid start accelerated, and after getting the baton handed by Gu Kai, he rushed to the finish line.

At this time, the United States team because of the handover of the baton, has not been able to continue the game, the original British team and the Canadian team in front.

However, Ye Qin finally showed his extraordinary sprint strength, and soon after starting, he caught up with Brian Barnett, Canada's fourth-best player.

Then, two or three meters before the finish line, he caught up with the fourth best of the British team, Harry Akin.

In the end, the Chinese team won the first place in the group with a score of 38.08, successfully advancing to the final, and the British team ranked second with a score of 38.11.
