Vol 8 Chapter 28: Have to Love (8)

On August 22, the much-anticipated 15th World Athletics Championships finally opened in BJ.
At 12:00 noon, Wang Ai appeared on time at the location of the Chinese track and field delegation, and then arrived at the Bird's Nest by car.
At exactly 1:00 p.m., officials came to inform Wang Ai that he could play. This was the fourth group of the qualifying round, and Wang Ai was assigned to the third track.
The originally sparse noise suddenly rose after Wang Ai's figure appeared behind the camera, and the huge bird's nest seemed to have turned into a beehive. The startled Wang Ai couldn't help but look up.
Before he had time to think about it, Wang Ai came to his track and concentrated on preparations. After a while, with a gunshot, eight people rushed out almost at the same time. Almost at this moment, Wang Ai's leading advantage was reflected. In the first 20 meters, he was as far ahead as the second two. Fortunately, he did not forget the coach's explanation of "guaranteed promotion within 10 seconds." "In the second half of the race, he took the initiative to pull back and was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 9.92 seconds.
Facing the swarming reporters, Wang Ai waved while running: "I have something to say tomorrow night."
Fortunately, this is a qualifying match. Although Wang Ai's news value is not small, but the big head is still to come, Wang Ai was able to retreat smoothly.
In the evening, Wang Ai watched the opening ceremony at the hotel, and then he left the hotel again accompanied by coaches and guards to return to the delegation, and appeared on the runway of the men's 100-meter preliminaries at 7:20 pm.
In the qualifying round in the morning, Wang Ai ran second in the overall score, which excited the track and field fans for a long time. At this time, as night fell, the World Championships officially started, and the number of viewers from the Internet and TV skyrocketed. Many bars and squares that usually broadcast Wang Ai's game have switched signals at this moment.
Wang Ai didn't see Bolt, they were not in a group, but they saw Gai Yin, whose best result was 0.02 seconds faster than Wang Ai's. According to the coach's analysis, if Wang Ai's performance is average, then Gai Yin may be Wang Ai's biggest opponent for medals this year.
However, the two were not in the same group. Gai Yin ran first and ran for 9.91 seconds. Then Wang Ai and a group of unknown people started running. The score is 9 seconds 88.
This time, after Wang Ai ran, he stayed in the group of reporters beside the runway for a minute, but he did not respond to the questions of the reporters. Instead, he allowed them to take pictures and briefly interact with the nearby audience before leaving.
Wang Ai's social account is still not updated, and his personal mobile phone is still silent, but after the two 100-meter races, people were pleasantly surprised to find that Wang Ai's unstable performance has been greatly improved compared with two years ago. Wang Ai lacked an intuitive perception of his own speed, either he did not use enough force or too much force, but this time he was much more stable.
And as the world's top five record holders, including him, except for the injured John Blake, all four of them advanced successfully, and the popularity of the men's 100 meters increased sharply. That night, the news from all over the world paid more or less attention to tomorrow’s semi-finals and finals. When selecting the game clips, they unanimously played the clips of Bolt and Wang Ai. Many hosts said in unison that this is the best competition in the world. Interesting 100-meter duel.

What's more, they said that this is a battle of Bolt's dignity, expressing some concerns about the Lightning, who has been in a steady decline in recent years. In contrast, CCTV, as the host, was quite generous. He didn't say anything to provoke dissension, but secretly changed the news time occupied by Wang Ai into the first and Bolt's into the second.
The next day came, and Wang Ai showed up at the Bird's Nest on time at 7:00 pm. This time he saw Bolt, but the crowd didn't have time to say hello. Tonight is the semi-finals and finals together, and the competition has reached its climax. Wang Ai did not dare to be careless, so he calmed down and waited for the game to start.
At 19:20, Wang Ai, as the third in the preliminaries, was assigned to the fourth track of the first group. After the simple preparations, he followed the referee's instructions and leaned on the track with his feet on the running aids and held his breath.
With a "pop" gunshot, Wang Ai kicked his feet hard, and he ran out immediately, but this time Gai Yin started faster than him. Wang Ai looked at no one, feeling his physical condition all the time, adjusting his power release and gradually surpassing Gai Yin in the second half, still skipping the finish line like a gust of wind.
After running for another fifty meters, Wang Ai stopped and looked back to find that the game was valid and wanted to leave. It was the reporters who reminded him loudly that he only glanced at the timing card, which showed a time of "9 seconds 77". Second best 100m.
Although China's 100-meter performance has made great progress in the past two years, no one has stepped into 9.8 seconds. Wang Ai's previous 9.71 seconds and this time's 9.77 seconds are still outstanding.
"Wang Ai, Wang Ai, tell me a few words, how do you feel?" The reporters blocked Wang Ai's cheating and refused to let him go.
"Two sentences?" Wang Ai breathed out: "The first sentence, thank you for your concern, everyone has worked hard; the second sentence, I feel that it can be faster."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ai shook his head and ignored him, and rested under the protection of the coach. There are still two hours left in the final, and Wang Aide seized the time to rest and adjust. If he does not adjust well in these two hours, it is very likely that the final will not be as good as the semi-final.
At this time, the benefits of the organizers were revealed. When Bolt and the Jamaican delegation were still crowded in a certain lounge, Wang Ai was led by the staff of the Bird's Nest to a separate room with air conditioning, bathroom, Luxurious lounge with bedroom, massage table and even dining table.
The Chinese delegation came to ask how Wang Ai was doing. Wang Ai replied that everything was fine. The masseur brought from Shenyang asked Wang Ai if he needed a massage. Asked Wang Ai if he wanted to eat, Wang Ai said he didn't want to for the time being, the coach asked Wang Ai if he had a strain, Wang Ai said everything was normal...
Everyone surrounded him eagerly and prepared to go all out to satisfy him. Wang Ai felt that he had never had such a time as a football super giant. Probably now he wants a retired old coach to do a pole dance for him, and the old man can agree...
After two hours of quiet rest, at 9:10 p.m., the much-anticipated men's 100-meter final was approaching. Wang Ai also reappeared amidst the roaring tsunami. This time he finally saw Bolt up close.
What surprised Wang Ai was that Bolt's upper body muscles were smaller than those of seven or eight years ago. Although he was still burly compared to ordinary people, he was already thinner. When preparing for the action, Wang Ai recalled Bolt's obvious strenuous performance in the preliminaries and semi-finals, and he immediately had a bottom line.
"Maybe I'm not as good as you at your peak, but you have declined so obviously, and I haven't felt the power of time yet." Wang Ai thought silently shaking her plump and fit muscles like before.
