China sprint killed a fierce general
In the men’s 100 m final of the Doha track and field Asian Championship held yesterday, Chinese player Wu Zhiqiang ran out of his best career score of 10 seconds 18, and gained a bronze medal. At the same time, he became the successor to Su Bingtian, after Xie Zhenye, the third Chinese player who opened 10 seconds 20 was active. For the Chinese men’s relay team, the world track and field relay in the middle of May and the World Track and Field Championship opened at the end of September are the top priorities of this season. Wu Zhiqiang, who is in excellent state, has successively refreshed his personal best results, which will undoubtedly help the Chinese men’s relay team to create good results in the next two competitions.

Wu Zhiqiang first opened 10 seconds 20
Before the rise of Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye, the record of Chinese men’s 100 meters once stayed at 10 seconds 17 for a long time.
In 1998, Zhou Wei won the championship in the National Track and Field Grand Prix with 10 seconds 17 and set a new national record, which lasted for 13 years. In 2003, Chen Hai Jian ran for 10 seconds 17, marking the national record, but until the 2011 championship, Su Bingtian won the championship with 10 seconds 16, and the record will eventually be broken.
The following stories are familiar to everyone. Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian formed a healthy competition, and the national record of 100 meters was repeatedly broken. Zhang Peimeng ran for 10 seconds in the 2013 World Championships; Su Bingtian opened the 10-second mark in 2015, becoming the first yellow race to run for 10 seconds; In the 2018 season, Xie Zhenye ran for 9 seconds 97, refreshing the national record, su Bingtian ran 9 seconds 91 twice, tied the Asian record, and won the Asian Games championship with 9 seconds 92.
Behind Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang, Xu Zhouzheng, Xu Haiyang and others could not break through 10 seconds 20.
“I have been working hard for the past few years. Since I ran to 10 seconds 24 in 2017, I have been impacting my coach Zhou Wei’s score of 10 seconds 17.” Wu Zhiqiang’s coach was Zhou Wei, the former national record holder. During the winter training this year, Wu Zhiqiang ran PB of 10 seconds 22. In this Asian Championship, he ran 10 seconds 22 and 10 seconds 18 in the semi-finals and finals, only 0.01 seconds away from master’s record.
Strategy
Promoting single new achievements with relay
Since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Chinese men’s sprint began to implement the strategy of “promoting individual items by relay. Chinas track and field team consultant Yu Weili once explained this strategy, “only developing single items will lose many opportunities for high-level competitions based on our foundation; Relay can form teams, strive to participate in the world’s first-level competition with the strength of the team.”
Facts have proved that the direction of this road is correct, and it has received rich returns. Not only Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian broke the record one after another, but also the Chinese men’s relay team has repeatedly achieved good results.
In the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the combination of Chen Shiwei, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng ran out of 37 seconds 99, pushing the Japanese team to win the championship and refreshing the Asian record. In the 2015 Beijing World Track and Field Championships, no Chinese team composed of Xue, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng made a new history. The preliminary competition refreshed the Asian record, and the final performance of the frontier miracle won the silver medal.
Although the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and the 2017 world championships in track and field both Unfortunately won the fourth place, I watched the Japanese team stand on the podium twice. However, after Zhang Peimeng retired, the Chinese men’s relay team did not have a talent break. Thanks to the outstanding achievements of the relay team in the past few years, Wu Zhiqiang, Xu Zhouzheng, Liang Jinsheng and others constantly broke through their respective limits.
Xu Zhouzheng ran 10 seconds 21 in April, 2018, and Wu Zhiqiang ran 10 seconds 18 yesterday, opening the 10 seconds 20 mark. Not surprisingly, Wu Zhiqiang and Xu Zhouzheng will both become the most effective helpers of Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye in the world track and field relay and world championships.
Situation
Have the strength to fight with the Japanese team
In the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Xie Zhenye was temporarily absent due to injury. The Chinese men’s relay team led by Su Bingtian only won the bronze medal. In this Asian Championship, due to the influence of waist injury, Su Bingtian did not go to Doha with the team, but he said a few days ago that he would participate in the world track and field relay in May as scheduled.
According to the schedule, on May 11-12, the 2019 world track and field relay will be held in Yokohama, Japan, and the top eight teams will directly qualify for the Doha world championship.
In the 2017 world track and field relay, the Chinese men’s relay team composed of Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Liang Jinsheng won the bronze medal with a score of 39sec 22. Compared with two years ago, although the structure of the Chinese men’s relay team has changed to some extent and the main team has missed the chance to practice in this Asian Championship, the team is still full of confidence and fighting spirit for next month’s competition.
In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the 2017 London World Championships and the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the Japanese team always laughed to the end in the much-watched Sino-Japanese duel.
With Wu Zhiqiang, the first stick, constantly breaking through the limit, and Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian’s huge advantages in the second and third sticks, the Chinese men’s relay team once again has the capital to fight with the Japanese team. In this year’s two competitions, while the Chinese men’s relay team strives for good results, it will also strive to win in the direct dialogue between China and Japan.
