On the evening of July 31, Beijing time, the 100-meter flyer battle of the Tokyo Olympic Games began the first round of fierce competition, and finally China's famous Xie Zhenye was eliminated in the first round of the competition, and his running time was 10.16 seconds. Another Chinese star, Su Bingtian, successfully reached the semi-finals with a good time of 10.05 seconds.
In this race, Xie Zhenye's starting reaction was very fast, the first 50 meters, he was actually in the top three, and even rushed to the second position at one point, the result was that in the last 50 meters, it was now obviously slowed down, and the Japanese team's Yamagata Ryota surpassed Xie Zhenye in one fell swoop, and the final ranking showed that the top three in this group were 9.94 seconds and 10.04 seconds and 10.12 seconds, respectively. Shan County Liangtai ranked fourth in 10 seconds and 15 seconds, and Xie Zhenye only trailed 0.01 seconds behind Shan County Liangtai in 10 seconds and 0.04 seconds behind the 3rd place, which can be said to be reversed by the gap of 0.04 seconds.
This time, there are 7 groups in the 100 meters, each group takes the top three directly to advance, and among all the other players who have not advanced, they take the top three according to the results, that is to say, a total of 24 people enter the semi-finals. Xie Zhenye did not get the top 3, did not directly advance, then there is not much advantage in competing with other groups, after the 5th group of running, there are two players in this group who directly surpassed him, they ran out of 10 seconds 10 and 10 seconds 12 results, so Xie Zhenye has been eliminated in advance and did not qualify for the semi-finals.
For the 27-year-old Xie Zhenye, this is indeed more tragic, but three years later in the Paris Olympics he still has a chance to fight again, because we saw that today's 31-year-old Su Bingtian still ran a good time of 10.05 seconds in the last moment, and successfully qualified as the second in the group. In fact, Xie Zhenye is also a bit wronged, if he can be assigned to Su Bingtian's group, then there should be no problem in the promotion, because the third place in this group is only 10.21 seconds, which is 0.05 seconds slower than Xie Zhenye.
Another Chinese player, Wu Zhiqiang, was in the first group, and his final result was 10.18 seconds in this group, and he lost to the Nigerian player in front of him by 0.03 seconds, and was also eliminated.
