On April 17, the Tom Jones Athletics Invitational Tournament was staged at the University of Florida in the United States, in which China's Xie Zhenye made his 100-meter debut of the season, but he played average, running only 10.27 seconds, and finally ranked seventh. Although Xie Zhenye's main event is the 200 meters, as the only chinese player who can open 10 seconds in the 100 meters, his form in the 100 meters has become worse and worse in recent years. Combined with the latest selection criteria released by the Chinese Athletics Association for the Hangzhou Asian Games, Xie Zhenye may not be able to participate in the Asian Games for 100 meters, and Su Bingtian is likely to fight alone again!
Entering 2022, Xie Zhenye has been training in the United States, accompanied by Liang Xiaojing and Li Yuting. These three Chinese sprinters, the famous coach Renault, the same brother and sister of the same brother and sister ruyun, the biggest is the Tokyo Olympic 200 meters champion Deglasser. Xie Zhenye and other 3 people also hope to use this time to strengthen training, improve their own capabilities, and prepare for the World Championships and Asian Games in the second half of the year.
In the early hours of this morning, Xie Zhenye also made his season debut, and at the Tom Jones Athletics Invitational, he signed up for the 100m and 4X100m relay events. In the 100 meters, Xie Zhenye ran a time of 10.27 seconds (-0.1m/s), ranking sixth, and the champion was taken away by the 18-year-old Knighton of the United States, who ran 10.04 seconds and also refreshed the PB, and Lyles also ran a good time of 10.05 seconds.
In the relay race, Xie Zhenye and Brissey, Deglaser and Bromel ran a time of 38.46 seconds to finish second, and the championship was taken away by the combination of Quinn, Baker, Holloway and Knighton, with a time of 38.09 seconds.
After the game, Xie Zhenye also updated social media, writing: "In terms of self-expectations, the first game was a bit lost. Xu is more than half a year after more than half a year has not raced, really a little nervous and stressful, the second half of the run stiff. However, from this test, all the future technology has improved, looking forward to next week's game, I believe that it will be better to experience this battle. ”
Obviously, Xie Zhenye was not satisfied with his performance, after all, he had been training in the United States for so long, and such results were indeed very general. In fact, in the past two years, Xie Zhenye's state has declined significantly, and his best time in 100 meters last year was only 10.10 seconds, or he ran out of the National Games, and he also lost to Tang Xingqiang in the 200 meters. For Xie Zhenye, although the 200 meters is the main event, he has been working hard to practice and improve the ability of the 100 meters, but the effect is obviously not good, but it also affects the preparation of the 200 meters.
For the Chinese track and field team, the top priority in the second half of the year is undoubtedly the World Championships and the Asian Games, especially the Asian Games, because it is held locally. A few days ago, the Chinese Athletics Association also announced the selection criteria for various projects of the Asian Games, of which the men's 100 meters standard line was set at 10 seconds 00, which is simply a cruel test.
According to the rules of the Asian Games, each team can only have 2 participants, and Su Bingtian has directly obtained one ticket by virtue of his performance in the top eight of the Olympic Games last year, and as for the other one, it depends on who can grab it. If according to seniority, then Xie Zhenye is definitely the most suitable, but in his current state, I am afraid that others will not be convinced. After all, whether it is Wu Zhiqiang or Chen Guanfeng, the current state is better than Xie Zhenye, 21-year-old Chen Guanfeng, last year even ran 10.06 seconds.
You know, in the 100-meter final of the last Jakarta Asian Games, we only had Su Bingtian shortlisted, but fortunately, Su Shen was powerful enough to break the Asian Games record in 9.92 seconds and successfully win the championship. This time, the Tian Xie set the standard line at 10.00 seconds, and if Xie Zhenye could not return to the peak, Chen Guanfeng could not follow up, then only Su Bingtian would fight alone!
