In the recently concluded athletics competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese team won the first place in the group with a time of 37.92 seconds in the men's 4×100m relay event to advance to the final, attracting the attention of major media. The Chinese men's 4×100m relay team can have today's achievements, which is inseparable from the efforts and perseverance of generations. Today, let's review the legendary road of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > won the championship after a gap of twenty years</h1>
Back in the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese team sent a men's 4×100m relay team composed of Lu Bin, Liang Jiahong, Su Bingtian and Lao Yi to stand on the track of the final and attack the gold medal. When the fourth baton Lao Yi took over the baton, the Chinese team has already taken the lead. Lao Yi sprinted with all his strength, and rushed through the finish line with the first name. Since the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, the Chinese team has won the Asian championship in relay again after 20 years.
Su Bingtian, a 21-year-old at the time, did not know that he would witness the legend of the Chinese relay team in the next eleven years, and through his own efforts, he would take China's sprint to a new height.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > determine the team</h1>
To talk about the glorious history of the Chinese men's relay team in the past ten years, we have to mention one person, who is Su Bingtian's mentor and the head coach of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team - Yuan Guoqiang.
In 2012, Yuan Guoqiang became the head coach of the Chinese relay team, and Li Qing served as an assistant coach, starting a new training system. The two determined that the relay team was based on Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, two of the highest level of 100 meters in China at that time, and inspected them in the national competition.
At the London Olympic Games, Yuan Guoqiang, who has just taken office, brought remarkable training results to the relay team. Guo Fan, Liang Jiahong, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng broke the national record in the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries with a time of 38.38 seconds. Unfortunately, there is still a certain gap with the world's top level, ranking sixth in the group and regrettably out. However, in this world competition, Su Bingtian's cornering technology in the third bar and Zhang Peimeng's ability to run on the way to the fourth baton were fully demonstrated, which also confirmed the feasibility of the team selected by Coach Yuan Guoqiang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > shines in Incheon</h1>
By the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese relay team was maturing. The emergence of young player Xie Zhenye has enhanced the strength of the Second Straight Of the Chinese team.
In this competition, the main competitor of the Chinese team, the Japanese team, has formed a very strong lineup: Ryota Yamagata, Hala Xiangtai, Gaoping Zhenshi, and Iizang Xiangtai. The Japanese team represents the highest level in Asia in recent years, and their head-up handover bat is unique in the sprint relay event.
The Chinese team was run by the young general Chen Shiwei to run the first baton, Xie Zhenye to the second baton, Su Bingtian zhen to guard the third baton, and Zhang Peimeng was still placed in the fourth baton.
After the start of the race, the Japanese team took the lead with Ryota Yamagata's super strong start, and the second baseman Xie Zhenye did not show weakness. By the third base, the situation on the pitch had changed. Su Bingtian's full moon curved knife rushed to the first place in the corner, throwing off the Japanese team. After the fourth baton Zhang Peimeng took over the baton, with the lead established by the third baton, he rode the dust and rushed to the finish line in a big stride, and after crossing the line with full force, the timer displayed the result: 37.99 seconds! The Chinese team defeated the Japanese team and once again stood at the top of Asia. What is even more worthy of the pride of the Chinese people is that the Chinese team broke the Asian record set by the men's 4×100m relay team set by japan, and ran the yellow race limit into 38 seconds! The narrator said excitedly: "Now the Asian record belongs to Chinese!" ”
Zhang Peimeng, who ran for 10 seconds at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, also played 100% of her energy in the relay. 4× 100 meters relay, not a simple combination of four fast people can win the championship. This is a team project that requires four people to have a good tacit understanding, and the two rods next to each other cooperate to show a high level of performance. The Chinese team has been practicing the baton handover technique for several years and has played the highest degree of tacit understanding in the game. At the Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese team opened 38 seconds, a battle to seal the gods.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > 100 meters break ten</h1>
After the Chinese sprint relay team made a leap forward breakthrough at the Incheon Asian Games, the individual results of the team members also made history shortly thereafter.
On May 31, 2015, Beijing time was still early in the morning, and the Chinese people were still asleep. On the other side of the ocean, Su Bingtian is standing on the track of the IAAF Diamond League eugene in the United States, preparing for the men's 100 meters. Among the contestants stood American stars Tyson Guy and Mike Rogers. With the sound of the starting gun, Su Bingtian's starting advantage was obvious, maintaining his own rhythm in the first lane, concentrating on rushing to the finish line, and finally crashing into the line with the third place result. Then, the official results showed that Tyson Guy won the championship in 9.88 seconds and Mike Rogers was in the second place at 9.90 seconds. And Su Bingtian, who ranked third, showed 9 seconds 99 seconds!
The next day, the people of the country woke up to see the news of Su Bingtian, and they were shocked by Su Bingtian's performance and proud of him. At a time when former national record holder Zhang Peimeng has been in a state of flux in recent years, Su Bingtian has stepped forward to make history for Chinese athletics, becoming the first yellow race to open the ten-second mark, setting a new national record.
The improvement of Su Bingtian's status and strength make people look forward to the upcoming Beijing World Championships Chinese can play better in the single and relay events of sprinting. And Su Bingtian himself also attaches great importance to relay, because he understands that at this Beijing World Championships, the Chinese track and field team will fight in the Bird's Nest, but athletics is not the advantage of Chinese. In the 4× 100-meter relay project, the country has paid a lot to cultivate talents, and the Chinese team has proved itself in the Asian Games before, so the relay is the key medal project of the Chinese team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > the ninth miracle</h1>
At the 2015 Beijing World Championships, there was a very classic scene, that is, the picture of Su Bingtian leading Bolt in the first 80 meters in the men's 100 meters semifinals. Su Bingtian's perfect start quickly took the lead, and Yussayn Bolt, who was next to Su Bingtian, made a mistake after the start, which can be said to be disrupted by Su Bingtian's starting belt. Bolt chased all the way and finally overtook the group in the last twenty meters. Su Bingtian opened up again for 10 seconds, and the 9.99 seconds made him the first yellow person to stand on the track of the 100-meter final of the World Championships. Although the final was not too good to play, Su Bingtian, who was exhausted in the two-gun match in one night, undoubtedly brought great encouragement to the Chinese relay team.
In the 4×100m competition, mo youxue, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng formed a four-person lineup that successfully advanced to the final. In the final, the Chinese team was divided into the ninth lane.
The starting gun of the final, the first stick Mo Youxue, because he could not see other players in the outermost road, could only run with his head in front of him, but he was obviously not inferior to the runners of other tracks. The second stick Xie Zhenye and the United States star Justin Gatlin directly dialogue, Gatlin overtook in the inner road, Xie Zhenye played well on the straight, the Chinese team has not been completely overtaken by other provincial players. The third stick, Su Bingtian's "full moon curved knife", made the Chinese team no less than before entering the straight, and Su Bingtian successfully completed the handover baton with Zhang Peimeng. Zhang Peimeng rushed into the straight, in the bird's nest tens of thousands of spectators shouting, played his energy to one hundred and twenty percent, behind the Jamaican team and the American team, Zhang Peimeng pressed the Canadian team, the last ten meters, leaning forward, rushing the line... Yang Jian and Liu Xiang in the commentary booth were already in a frenzy, and they shouted: "Third! third! The Chinese team is third! "The entire bird's nest audience has long been boiling... Countless spectators and viewers in front of the TV set watched the four people on the track, who were already heroes of Chinese athletics! Four people wore national flags and celebrated on the track, and soon after, the referee ruled that the American team had handed over the baton foul, and the Chinese team was the runner-up, winning the silver medal in the men's 4×100 meters of the World Championships. Chinese athletics achieved unprecedented feats on this night, with four young men making history while also justifying the dashing of Chinese and yellow races. Seeing the five-star red flag rising at the award ceremony of the sprint event at the world's top competition, how can we not be moved?
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > Rio set a national record</h1>
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese relay team continued its strong performance on the olympic stage. In the preliminary round, the Chinese team broke the Asian record with a time of 37.82 seconds and advanced to the final.
In the final, the first stick of the Chinese team started from the young player Tang Xingqiang, and the second, third and fourth sticks were still Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, three "old players" who had been playing steadily. China's top three sticks are not behind the next Asian team Japan, and the gap between the fourth baseman Zhang Peimeng, japan's Cambridge Bird, Jamaica's Bolt and the United States' Brommel is not obvious when they take over the baton. However, after the fourth rod was launched, Zhang Peimeng's state declined as he grew older, and his sprint ability on the straight was much worse than before, and finally the Chinese team hit the line in fifth place. Japan finished runners-up at the Olympics and set a new Asian record with a time of 37.60 seconds. The U.S. team repeated the mistakes of the Beijing World Championships and was once again judged fouled. The Chinese team finally finished fourth with a time of 37.90 seconds.
It is a pity that the Chinese relay team did not win a medal at the Rio Olympics, but the preliminary round set a new national record, and the 38 seconds of the final opening again were enough to make the Chinese people proud. At least China's sprint relay team already has the strength to compete in the final of the Olympic Games against the world's top level countries.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > tokyo olympics</h1>
At the 2017 World Championships in London, the Chinese team, which was looking for a breakthrough, was interfered with by the British players during the handover of the second and third batons, and finally hit the line in fourth place. After the 2017 National Games, Zhang Peimeng officially retired.
In 2021, the Chinese team will compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
In the men's 100m semi-finals, Su Bingtian once again showed a super god-level performance. The starting point established the advantage, the rhythm was maintained very well, and the lead was maintained in the final sprint stage, and the group finished the race first. The official results show that Su Bingtian is the first in the group, with a score of 9 seconds 83.Su Bingtian punched and roared on the track, he once again proved himself to the world, but also proved the strength of Chinese. This result surprised everyone, the yellow man who was only 1 meter 72 tall, actually ran to 9 seconds 83? Looking at the history of human beings in the 100 meters, Su Bingtian's performance can even rank 13th! In the 100-meter final, "Su Shen", who was about to turn 32, won the sixth place in the men's 100 meters. Such a performance made Su Bingtian appear on the hot search, which attracted great attention at home and even internationally.
Su Bingtian, who has always been low-key and humble, said in an interview after the game that the next relay is the most important, and the level of relay has changed greatly from 2012 to this year's Olympic Games, and there is a great opportunity to make a breakthrough from the current level.
Zhang Peimeng has retired, and Su Bingtian, as the big brother of the relay team, is very confident in the game.
The men's relay team composed of Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Wu Zhiqiang is to get a place in the final in the preliminary round. Tang Xingqiang's starting reaction was very good, and Xie Zhenye was smooth and excessive. After Su Bingtian received the baton in the corner, he was in a state of explosion and was a "full moon curved knife" that surpassed the forefront with a great advantage and sent the baton to Wu Zhiqiang's hands. Wu Zhiqiang, the fourth baseman, maintained the leading edge, and the Chinese team hit the top spot in the group to advance! 37.92 seconds! The Chinese team pushed Canada and Italy to advance to the final in the preliminary round. The American team, which has absolute strength, made a major mistake in the handover of the baton and failed to get the ticket to the final. Once again, relay is a team project, and it is not possible for all four people to run fast.
In the final, the Chinese team let go of the attack on history. Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye maintained a very good rhythm, the third stick Su Bingtian overtook strongly, and the fourth stick Wu Zhiqiang! rise! pick up! sprint! Hit the line!
The Chinese team finally ranked fourth, and the time of 37.79 seconds also equaled the national record.
It may be a pity that it did not get the top three, but looking at the overall performance of the Chinese team, winning the first place in the group in the fiercely competitive preliminary round, and defeating the Jamaican team in the "post-Bolt era", these will be the places that the Chinese people are proud of. Japan, the host of the medal, did not even finish the game due to a mistake in handing over the baton. The Perfect Handover Baton of the Chinese Team, the all-out struggle, the first in Asia, the fourth in the world, worthy of the expectations of the Chinese people!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > summary</h1>
Veteran Su Bingtian can participate in the next Olympic Games is still unknown, from the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games to the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, eleven years of perseverance to witness the progress of China's sprint, eleven years of perseverance has not changed his original intention.
