Who can replace Su Bingtian with Chinese men’s relay speed in the world track and field championship?

 

Who can replace Su Bingtian with Chinese men’s relay speed? In the men’s 4 × 100 m relay preliminary match of the world track and field championships, the Chinese team failed to advance to the fourth round and the new players failed to play their due level On the morning of July 23, Beijing time, in the men’s 4 × 100 m relay preliminary of the 2022 world championships in track and field, the Chinese team sent a new sharp Chen Guanfeng to take the last shot of Wu Zhiqiang. In the end, the Chinese team ran the best result of the team in 38 seconds 83, but ranked fifth in the group and failed to advance. From the first medal in Tokyo Olympic Games to the final of the world championship, China’s 4 × 100 m relay has lost speed, and this team is in the throes of the new and old alternation. Su bingtian may end his career at any time the chinese team is in the throes of the new and old alternation the men’s 4 × 100 m relay preliminary in this world championship. The most enviable team is undoubtedly the american team. Since this world championship is a home game, the American men’s team is determined to win it. In the preliminary stage, the 100-meter champion Kelley and the 200-meter champion Lyles were sent to sit down. In fact, from the performance of American men’s sprint in the 100-meter and 200-meter gold and silver bronze medals in this world championship, its relay team has too many choices to try. In contrast, the Chinese men’s relay team has been eager for fresh blood to join since the Tokyo Olympic Games cycle. In the earlier Rio cycle, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng were stronger three sticks. Xie Zhenye’s stability, Su Bingtian’s “against the blade of honor” and Zhang Peimeng’s marching forward on the straight road led China’s 4 × 100 m relay to achieve a breakthrough in the world competition. With Zhang Peimeng’s retirement, the Chinese relay team has lost a strong stick on the most critical straightly. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese team sent Tang Xingqiang to run the first shot and Wu Zhiqiang to run the fourth shot. Although Tang Xingqiang’s starting ability has been questioned, the Chinese relay team still achieved the task of promoting to the final of the Olympic Games. Finally, after the British uniform was exposed with banned drugs, the Chinese team won the Olympic bronze medal and created history. The bronze medal won by the Chinese relay team in the Tokyo Olympic Games made the outside world hold higher expectations for this team in this world championship. But unfortunately, the Chinese relay team has been in the dilemma of shortage of personnel. Su Bingtian may end his career at any time. Before This World Championship, Su Bingtian once said that there is a high probability that he will not participate in relayrace. But in the end, in order to fight for the next final seat, Su Bingtian still appeared in the lineup of the Chinese relay team. It can be imagined that if Su Bingtian did not participate in the competition, the performance of the Chinese relay team in this world championship would decline. New Chen Guanfeng took the fourth shot but did not play his strongest ability The lineup of the Chinese men’s relay team this time was actually adjusted by only one player compared with the Tokyo Olympic Games. Tang Xingqiang still ran the first best, Xie Zhenye ran the second best, Su Bingtian ran the third best, but Xinrui Chen Guanfeng took the fourth best from Wu Zhiqiang. Compared with Wu Zhiqiang’s personal best score of 10 seconds 18, Chen Guanfeng once ran out of 10 seconds 06 at the Chongqing national championship before the Tokyo Olympics. In addition, the young general after 00 won the bronze medal when he defeated Wu Zhiqiang in the National Games and was regarded as the future star of China’s sprint. Unfortunately, Chen Guanfeng’s biggest weakness is that he has not participated in world-class competitions, including the relay preliminary of this world championship. Chen Guanfeng failed to put himself in the national championship for 10 seconds 06 at the critical moment, turn to the world championship track. During the competition, Tang Xingqiang performed well in the starting stage, sweeping away the haze during the Tokyo Olympic Games. Since then, Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian played normally and entered the straights, the Chinese team holds the top three positions. Unfortunately, Chen Guanfeng failed to play the ability of continuous acceleration in the final stage and was continuously surpassed by the German and Japanese teams. The final result of the Chinese team in 38 seconds 83 was nearly 1 second slower than that of 37 seconds 79 when the Olympic bronze medal was won. Chinese Sprint can only give a group of newcomers more resources and time to wait for transformation compared with the honor of Tokyo Olympics, the current Chinese men’s relay team is indeed a little fast. With the opening of the Paris Olympic cycle, although all teams have to face the problem of new and old alternation, it is difficult for the Chinese team to see Su Bingtian again in the Paris Olympic Games, therefore, someone must be able to top up in time. The future of China’s 4 × 100 m relay is among the players after 00. At present, the number of Chinese players after 00 is no more than 10 within 10 seconds and 30 seconds. The Chinese team has brought the best among them, chen Guanfeng ran out of 10 seconds 06 and Deng Zhi ship in 10 seconds 24. This world championship is the best chance for several post-00 s to experience the world competition. Just as Su Bingtian gradually tempered himself and eventually became a generation of flying people, Chinese Sprint could only give these newcomers more resources and time to wait for their transformation.

Reform the traditional competition system! Paris Olympic track and field events will introduce resurrection competition

 

BEIJING, July 26 (Xinhua) — At the closing of the 2022 Oregon World Track and Field Championships, the world field Federation passed an important reform measure: in the track and field events of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, all individual track events (including hurdles) ranging from 200 meters to 1500 meters will implement the resurrection competition system. According to the competition system of world competitions such as the Olympic Games in the past, players can directly advance to the semi-finals through group ranking in the preliminary matches, while other players can advance to the semi-finals by virtue of the first few best results except those who directly advance to the level. In the upcoming Paris Olympics, the resurrection competition will replace the traditional competition system. After the resurrection competition is introduced, the players can still make progress to the semi-finals by virtue of the group ranking, while the rest of the players need to participate in the resurrection competition to decide the remaining semi-finals. It is worth mentioning that the 100-meter project will no longer set up the resurrection race because there is still a primary race before the preliminary round. However, the recovery time of project athletes with a distance of more than 1500 meters after each competition is relatively long, so there will be no resurrection competition. Sebastian Ko, the chairman of the World Association of Athletics, said: “After consulting retransmission providers and athletes, we believe that the innovation in this competition system will bring more straightforward promotion opportunities for athletes, it will also ensure that track and field events enjoy full exposure at the peak of the Olympic Games. We will carefully study the schedule to ensure that every project can fully enjoy the spotlight of the Olympic Games.”
