Asian Championships in Athletics Men's 200m: Xie Zhenye was reversed and missed for medal The Japanese champion and third place laughed and hugged

On July 16, Beijing time, the men's 200m final of the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships, Xie Zhenye started for the third time. Unfortunately, Xie Zhenye only finished fourth, with a time of 20.66 seconds, and did not make it to the podium.

After Su Bingtian's season reimbursement, Xie Zhenye became the leader of Chinese sprinting. In the men's 200m, he is the Asian record holder in this event.

In the previous semifinals, Xie Zhenye ranked first in the group with a time of 20.71 seconds to advance to the final. It is worth mentioning that Xie Zhenye's recent champion is quite good. At the previous National Championships in Athletics, he won the men's 200m final in 20.49 seconds, while setting a personal season best.

However, coming to the Asian arena, Xie Zhenye's opponent is obviously stronger. In the semifinals, he was the last to defeat South Korea's Ko Seung-hwan. Turning into a straight sprint, Gao Chenghuan once led Xie Zhenye, and finally 20 meters Xie Zhenye achieved a comeback, pressing the whistle to win the first place in the group.

The 200m is Xie Zhenye's forte, holding the Asian record of 19.88 seconds. Earlier, in the relay competition, Xie Zhenye and his teammates regretted to win the silver, and he also held his breath to win the gold medal in the 200 meters.

At the beginning of the final, Xie Zhenye was in the third lane, and his opponents were also famous from Japan, Qatar and Chinese Taipei. At the beginning of the race, Xie Zhenye was in the lead at the beginning, but in the final sprint, he obviously lacked physical strength and was overtaken by his opponents one after another, and finally only finished fourth, with the Japanese two winning the gold and bronze medals, and the Chinese Taipei star winning the silver medal. The Japanese champion and third runner-up hugged happily and celebrated, and Xie Zhenye looked frustrated.
