Chapter 117:Zhang Ziyi's Responsibility & Su Bai's Decision

"First in the heats, first in the semifinals..."

In the Chinese athlete seating area of the audience, Jiang Wentao smiled and joked, "If Ziyi can get another first place in the finals, that would be impressive!"

Among the coaching staff present, when they heard Jiang Wentao's words, they all laughed. The track and field team's sprint results were continuously improving, and as long as they were part of the track and field team, they were all quite happy about it. They didn't pay too much attention to Jiang Wentao's playful comment.

However, among them, Wang Ting, who was sitting on the side, had a worried expression on his face after hearing this. These guys thought Jiang Wentao was joking, but he knew that Zhang Ziyi genuinely had this thought.

Last night, Zhang Ziyi asked him if he had a chance to compete for the championship.

For athletes, even the most composed ones have a desire for victory in their hearts. The desire to win is a necessary condition for becoming a top athlete.

Although before this competition, Wang Ting rarely heard Zhang Ziyi mention the victory or defeat of a specific match. He was more focused on the overall performance of the team.

However, last night, Wang Ting genuinely saw the desire for that championship position in Zhang Ziyi's eyes.

Regardless, the fact that both Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen advanced to the men's 400m final was a source of great joy for track and field enthusiasts.

But at the same time, the men's 100m event completed its semifinals on the afternoon of the second day. Fang Yu once again secured first place in his group, advancing smoothly to the final, while Zhao Shu only managed to secure fourth place in his semifinal group.

Although Zhao Shu performed well, his time of 10.34 seconds was not enough to secure a spot in the final, leaving him with regrets.

The women's 100m, 200m, and 400m events did not have semifinals, and their finals were scheduled for the evening, taking place concurrently with the three men's sprint events.

On this day of competition, aside from the sprint events, there were also the men's high jump qualification rounds and the men's javelin final in the field events. While the men's javelin final saw average performances from the male team's athletes, Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao both performed exceptionally well in the men's high jump event.

After Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao easily cleared the height of 2.24 meters, the qualification round held no suspense for them, and the final qualification height for the men's high jump was set at 2.16 meters.

Due to the hot outdoor temperatures in Doha, the Asian Championships scheduled their events in the morning from 8:30 AM to 11 AM and in the evening after 5 PM.

After the morning session concluded, the national team members returned to the athlete's village by bus. After having lunch, athletes like Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi were sent to the medical support team's hall to have their muscles relaxed by massage therapists and recover their physical fitness as quickly as possible.

Perhaps because Qiu Wen was still quite young, despite running a physically demanding semifinal in the morning, he was lively and energetic at this moment. He lay on the massage table and began to chatter incessantly.

"That guy, what's his name, Amesi, he runs really aggressively. In the second half of the race, it's like he has an engine, and he doesn't seem to control the pace or slow down!"
