Chapter 125: The Return of the King in the 2-meter Final

Chapter 125: The King Returns in the 200m Final!

After the three coaches and Zhao Yun entered the waiting area, Coach Zhao Dehan quickly helped Zhao Yun with relaxation treatment. He also applied ice cubes around him. Liu Xiangdong quickly took out some energy water for Zhao Yun to drink.

"Are you physically fit? If not, let's give up. Don't get hurt. You've already won a championship and we should be satisfied." Wang Zijie said to Zhao Yun seriously.

You know, before coming here, they and Zhao Yun set a goal of at least two championships, and the third championship would be taken if they could. Now that he had just won a championship, he had physical problems, which made everyone feel a little gloomy, but no one blamed anyone. After all, the weather in Doha was too hot, and the water loss was too great, and Zhao Yun might not have adapted to the weather in this country.

The fans watching the game didn't understand all this. They were all immersed in the joy that Zhao Yun once again appeared on the final stage as the first in the group.

Some people in the sports circle noticed that there was a problem with Zhao Yun, and said online that Zhao Yun might have physical problems and might not be able to run a good result in the final.

This angered Zhao Yun's fans, and they started cursing.

"proceed if you can!"

"As I recall, you didn't even make it to the semi-finals?"

"Who do you think you are to deserve this?"

"Laughing at the Diamond Evaluation King, haha!"

Several track and field celebrities were so scared that they quickly turned off the comments.

Netizens are such brainless people. They only believe what they see and what they believe. Even if they are wrong in the future, they will not bear any consequences.

Zhao Yun knew nothing about the quarrel on the domestic Internet.

He said to Coach Liu Xiangdong, "Coach Liu, give me another bottle of energy water so I can drink some more!"

Zhao Yun poured the other bottle of energy water that he exchanged with his gold coins into it.

Liu Xiangdong nodded and handed another bottle of energy water to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun put down the half bottle of energy water in his hand, took the water Liu Xiangdong handed over and drank it. Instantly, Zhao Yun felt his strength recover.

"Coach! Don't worry! I must have a good start in the first game of this year. I made a bold statement when I won the first championship. I want all the championships."

"But what about your physical strength?" Wang Zijie was still very worried.

"It's okay! Don't worry! I'll just rest for an hour or so. It's enough for me at my age. Don't worry."

Wang Zijie and the other two were still worried, but when they saw Zhao Yun close his eyes and start to rest, they stopped talking.

The second group of the 200m semi-finals outside also started the competition.

Today's game was full of upsets.

Lane 1, Alonso Edwards, Team USA

The second player, South Africa, is Makawala.

Lane 3 player, Jamaica, Nesta Carter.

Lane 4, Justin Gatlin, Team USA

The fifth player is Van Niekerk from South Africa.

Lane 6, Jamaica, Asafa Powell,

Lane 7, Jamaica, Steve Mullins.

Lane 8, American team, Isa Young.

The ninth contestant is the flower grower, Xie Zhenye.

Perhaps affected by the large number of competitions yesterday, several veteran athletes who participated in the 100m finals yesterday also performed poorly in the competition.

The first lane was a difficult track to run well, but Alonso Edwards, despite the poor performance of other runners, made a strong effort in the last 20.18 meters and surpassed the fourth-placed Jamaican Asafa Powell, and won the fourth place with 20.14 seconds. South African star Van Niekerk won the third place with a time of 20.11 seconds. Issayan in the eighth lane won the second place with a time of 20.08 seconds, and the first place was won by Justin Gatlin with a time of seconds.

The flower-growing contestant Xie Zhenye did not continue his good performance in the preliminaries, and finished ninth in 20.46 seconds. However, he was already very confident about entering the semi-finals. There was no sign of depression on his face.

The final list of finalists was announced. Although Zhao Yun performed poorly in the semi-finals, he still ranked first.

First place, flower grower, Zhao Yun, 20.04 seconds.

Second place, Türkiye, Guryev, 20.05 seconds.

Third place, Bahamas, Gardner, 20.07 seconds.

Fourth place, United States, Justin Gatlin, 20.08 seconds.

Tied for fifth place, Italy, Andrea De Grasse, 20.11 seconds,

Tied for fifth place, United States, Isa Young, 20.11 seconds.

Seventh place, United States, Tyson Gay, 20.13 seconds.

Eighth place, South African star Van Niekerk, 20.14 seconds.

The Jamaican players were completely defeated, which was an unexpected result. It was hard for Asafa Powell and Steve Mullins, who were born in 1982 and are now 32 years old, to accept this. They looked dejected. Maybe they were once glorious, but they may not be glorious anymore.

Looking at the big screen, Mullins suddenly knelt down and burst into tears. This emotion also infected many audiences who started crying. After all, these veterans have been with them for too long, more than a decade, which is the youth of many people. They have been watching their games from childhood to marriage and having children.

The audience stood up and applauded to cheer for the veteran. The other two Jamaicans, Asafa Powell and Nesta Carter, patted Mullins on the shoulder and whispered words of encouragement in his ear. Then the two helped Mullins out of the venue, leaving the audience with three lonely figures under the sun.

Is it true that the times have really begun to change? Everyone is a little bit reluctant to accept it. After all, there is no real hero who has stood up to touch their hearts and let them see the inheritance.

Zhao Yun also ended his nap. After opening his eyes and seeing the desolation of the three veterans, he stood up, put on ice, and walked barefoot to the door of the waiting area, ignoring the coach's dissuasion, then walked forward and hugged the three of them tightly.

"Keep going! There's an old saying among flower growers: Ambition doesn't matter how old you are; without it, it's useless to live a hundred years. Stick to your dream."

The three of them nodded and said to Zhao Yun, "Thank you. We will remember your words. You should do your best in the finals."

What Zhao Yun didn't expect was that Asafa Powell and Mullins actually listened to Zhao Yun's words. When everyone thought Powell was too old to appear in the next Olympics, he broke the doubts and appeared in the finals. Although Mullins also listened to Zhao Yun, he was injured and couldn't hold on any longer. He could only disappear from people's sight.

With all the semi-final matches coming to an end, the thrilling 200-meter final finally arrived after an hour's break.

Zhao Yun appeared on the field with doubts and full of energy, and performed for the audience what it means to be a king's return.
