It was only 0.07 slower than the 37.70 of the third Canadian team. It was a pity that it missed the medal.
The starting gun fired, Tang Xingqiang started off with a good start, with a response time of 0.153 in sixth place. In the first 100 meters, Tang Xingqiang rushed fiercely and smoothly handed the baton to Xie Zhenye. In the second round, Xie Zhenye speeded up straight ahead. At this time, the Chinese team was ranked fourth, leading the Italian team.
Actually, the Chinese team has a chance to be on the podium. Only when the fourth bar was handed over, Wu Zhiqiang accelerated ahead of time, causing a mistake in the handover, which affected the results of the game.
After the starting gun fired, Tang Xingqiang rushed into the track with a reaction time of 0.153 and smoothly handed the stick to Xie Zhenye. Subsequently, Xie Zhenye started the "Xie's Swing" to accelerate and lead the Italian team. After that, he completed the tacit transfer with Su Bingtian. After Su Bingtian took over, he ran out of the "Machete of the Moon" and raised his ranking to third place.
Persevering in the finale of Wu Zhiqiang, the fourth shot, there was a problem during the handover. After seeing that the Italian team had already run, he also started to accelerate ahead of schedule. As a result, he was unable to receive Su Bingtian's handover at the first time, and then Wu Zhiqiang slowed down and accelerated after receiving Su Bingtian's handover. After a strong sprint, after overtaking the Jamaican team,Finished the race in 37.79 seconds and finished fourth, tying the national record.
At the moment when Wu Zhiqiang started, Su Bingtian also kept yelling: "Slow down, slow down" to remind Wu Zhiqiang. Unfortunately, Wu Zhiqiang did not hear.
After running, Wu Zhiqiang also felt that he hadn't handed over well, so he sat on the ground, annoyed for a while.
Later, Su Bingtian was found. The two exchanged greetings and exchanged questions about the handover.
In the post-match interview, Su Bingtian took the responsibility on himself.
Su Bingtian said: "In this handover today, there were indeed some problems and we did not play well. If we deal with it well, we won't have a problem with the medals. For me, I definitely want to hurry up. . Then continue to rush forward and hand the stick to Wu Zhiqiang. Because when I took over, there was a transfer. If I ran after the transfer, there would be a second acceleration, which caused me to run stiff. And after I took over, I just started running. I started to fight and fight for speed. There were athletes holding me in the sixth and eighth lanes. So, I started to run tight. So, when I handed it to Wu Zhiqiang, the first thing I shouted was not for him to pick it up, yes. Call him to slow down, slow down, in fact, I have a problem here."
After listening to Su Bingtian blamed himself for the handover error, Wu Zhiqiang was speechless for a while, and said, "I’m not in handover. When things went well, we resolved the mistakes," and then paused for a while. Then he said: "Anyway, we did a good job today, very good."
The other two sprint teammates also commented on the game.Tang Xingqiang said: "We have tried our best to do this, no regrets.
Xie Zhenye said that everyone has not handed over well: "Everyone in the handover area has slowed down, and has not reached the highest speed. .
In the 4×100m relay race, handover errors are a common occurrence, and this also makes the game full of a peculiar charm. The Chinese team can adjust the state in time after handover errors. Spelling heads. In the last shot, it once surpassed the Jamaican sprinter, which is also a moment of enthusiasm.
It is a pity to get fourth. But the fourth consecutive Olympic Games is enough to show China. The sprint team has a lot of strength, and the future can be expected.
