Chapter 155: The Competition is About to Begin & the Mindset of the Women's Team

The upcoming World Athletics Relay Championship is not only crucial for the relay teams' qualification for the World Championships and the Tokyo Olympics but has also gained attention due to the "Revenge Battle" of the Japanese team. Meanwhile, during the broadcast on Yokohama TV in Japan, coaches from the Chinese and Japanese athletics teams will provide commentary and analysis for the event.

After receiving this series of information, the audience on the internet, who were already interested in the event, had even greater expectations for the competition scheduled to start the next day.

On that night, the athletes preparing for the high-intensity competition on the following day had already started their rest preparations. In contrast to the restless online fans, these athletes were able to get good rest.

On the second day, May 11th, the long-anticipated World Athletics Relay Championship began with the first day of competition.

The schedule for May 11th included the preliminary and final rounds of the mixed shuttle hurdle relay, as well as the preliminary rounds of the men's and women's 4x100m relays, the men's and women's 4x400m relays, and the mixed 2x2x400m relay. The latter event, a first-time appearance at the relay championship, required one male and one female 400m runner from each team, and each would run two 400m legs. It was highly likely that the most outstanding male and female 400m runners from each team would compete in this event, potentially affecting the Olympic qualification chances for the 4x400m relay sub-events. Due to the limited number of participating teams, this event would proceed directly to the final on May 11th.

The first event of the day was scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM, and the national team arrived at the Yokohama Stadium around 3 PM to prepare for the evening's competitions.

However, Su Bai was on a different schedule. While the relay team members headed to Yokohama Stadium, he was accompanied by a translator from the Japan Athletics Association and went to the Yokohama TV broadcast center.

When Su Bai and his translator arrived at the TV station, coach Ryuunosuke Arakawa, who had invited Su Bai for this "exchange" a day earlier, was already present.

This was the second meeting between Su Bai and Arakawa. Su Bai was still wearing the sportswear sponsored by Hook during this encounter, while Arakawa had opted for an elegant suit, clearly emphasizing the importance of the evening's live broadcast.

After exchanging smiles and greetings, the staff from Yokohama TV and the Japan Athletics Association were also on the scene, and they immediately began discussing the upcoming live broadcast process with both Su Bai and Arakawa.

In China, the discussions and anticipation regarding the relay championship from the previous day had left domestic netizens eager for more. Even before the competition had started, many people were already discussing the evening's event schedule and the showdown between Su Bai and Ryuunosuke Arakawa.

On the Athletics Kingdom forum, some users had already listed the highlights of the evening.

Thread Title: 【8 Events, 5 World Championship and Tokyo Olympics Qualification Spots, Happening Tonight!】

Thread Content: 【It's a pity that we can't watch Yokohama TV's live broadcast in China, and there's no Chinese translation. Otherwise, the showdown between Su Bai and Ryuunosuke Arakawa outside the arena tonight would also be an unmissable highlight.】

3rd Comment: 【The OP summed it up nicely, but overall, the most important thing is the qualification for the 5 Tokyo Olympics spots. Whether we can make it depends on tonight.】
