Chapter 678: Zhao Yun's Debut in the Group Match
As the first three groups finished their races, the real drama of the 400-meter race slowly unfolded, because the ace players of the 400-meter event gathered at the back.
Van Niekerk, Zhao Yun, Zambrano, Norman, LaShawn Merritt, Killarney James, De Grasse, Edwards, Fred Coleley, Bloomfield, Dunkley and other famous players are all accumulating energy.
"Well, audience friends, as the first three groups have finished their races, we are about to enter the 400m Group D race of this Olympics. Our country's athlete Zhao Yun will also be competing soon."
As Yang Jian finished speaking, there was applause and cheers from the audience.
After all, the Chinese people maintained good relations with Brazil, which made them feel sympathetic for what the Chinese athletes had been experiencing these days.
"Come on, Zhao Yun!"
"Come on! Flower grower!"
The people from the flower-growing family also cheered and encouraged Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun walked to the front from the back with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. Zhao Yun also showed a bright smile and waved to the audience.
Liu Yangyu looked at the cheers from the audience and couldn't help but smile and sighed, "Look, this is our hero, Zhao Yun! His confidence and composure are really amazing. No matter how strong his opponent is, he can always win the love and respect of the audience with his strength and style."
"Indeed, Zhao Yun has demonstrated his extraordinary strength in previous competitions. His unique running posture, which is both stable and fast, is truly breathtaking. In this 400-meter race, I believe he will be able to achieve great results again." Yang Jian also echoed.
"Yes, I believe in him too. Look, he is warming up now. His concentration and dedication really make people feel his love and respect for the game," Liu Yangyu continued.
Yang Jian looked at the players on the field and said, "But there are many masters in this group. Players like Zambrano, Dunkli, and Fred Colley all have the opportunity to enter the finals."
Liu Yangyu nodded. "That's right! Although Zambrano and Corley are older than Zhao Yun, they rose to prominence two years later than Zhao Yun. Both of them started to rise at the World Championships last year and then became unstoppable and quickly entered the top ranks."
"Especially Zambrano, he broke his personal best at this year's Colombian Championship and won the championship at an amazing speed." Yang Jian added, his eyes full of respect for the player.
"Yes, Zambrano's speed and strength are indeed impressive. However, we cannot ignore Dunkli and Fred Cole. They also have strong strength and rich competition experience." Liu Yangyu continued.
"That's right. This 400-meter race is full of top competitors. If Zhao Yun wants to enter the finals or even compete for the championship, he will need to make tremendous efforts." Yang Jian nodded in agreement.
While the two were discussing, the competition had already begun. Zhao Yun, Zambrano, Dunkeli, Fred Cole and other players all stood at the starting line, their eyes full of determination and confidence.
At this time, Zhao Yun had finished warming up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the track. When he stood at the starting point, the whole venue seemed to be quiet, and all eyes were focused on him.
"Bang!" With the sound of the starting gun, Zhao Yun rushed out like an arrow from a bow. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed to carry the force of thunder. He soon surpassed the other players and was half a body length ahead.
The audience in the audience stood up and cheered for him. Liu Yangyu and Yang Jian also clenched their fists nervously to cheer for Zhao Yun.
"Entering the first straight, Zhao Yun seems to have a clear advantage."
"On the second curved blade, Zhao Yun controlled the rhythm and swung his body very well."
Zhao Yun's advantage became more and more obvious. He was like a cheetah, galloping on the track. His speed and rhythm were just right, and people couldn't help but admire him.
“Zambrano and Corley are trying to catch up too!”
"In the last 100-meter straight, Zhao Yun was still in first place, already two and a half body lengths ahead of the second place."
"Zhao Yun, hold on! Come on!" Yang Jian shouted loudly.
"Come on Zhao Yun!" Liu Yangyu said passionately.
"The last thirty meters, hold on!"
"Hold on!"
"The last ten meters, speed up!"
"Press the line!"
"First place!"
"Zhao Yun won the first place in the group and successfully entered the semi-finals. Congratulations to Zhao Yun!" Amid the thunderous cheers of the audience, Zhao Yun successfully crossed the finish line. He was panting, his face filled with the joy of victory.
The whole venue was boiling with excitement. The audience cheered, applauded and cheered, sending him the warmest congratulations.
The coach and teammates immediately rushed forward and hugged him tightly. "Great, Zhao Yun! You ran very well and in a good rhythm!" the coach said excitedly.
Zhao Yun smiled and thanked everyone for their support. He knew that this game was just the beginning and there would be more severe challenges waiting for him.
He looked at the timer in the distance, thinking about his results. He was quite satisfied with his performance, but he also knew that he couldn't take it lightly.
When he saw the timer showing 43 seconds, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This result was completely acceptable even though he had not given it his all.
This is Zhao Yun. He would be very happy if others ran under 43 seconds. Since Zhao Yun came out of nowhere, he has greatly improved the 400-meter results. The days when you can win a gold medal by running under 43 seconds are gone.
After a brief celebration, Zhao Yun began to prepare for the semi-finals. He knew that every game was an opportunity to improve himself, and he would go all out to move towards the goal of becoming an Olympic champion.
The final results of Group D were also verified and displayed:
First place, flower grower, Zhao Yun, 43 seconds.
Second place, Fred Cole of the United States, 44 seconds.
Third place, Colombia, Zambrano, 44 seconds.
Fourth place, Jamaica, Dunkley, 44 seconds.
.........
The domestic audience who were waiting to watch Zhao Yun's competition were shocked when they saw Zhao Yun enter the semi-finals as the first place winner.
Domestic audiences were extremely excited and social media was instantly going wild.
"Zhao Yun is too strong! He won first place in the group with an absolute advantage!"
"Keep going in the semi-finals! You'll definitely be the champion!"
"43 seconds, this speed is simply incredible!"
