Chapter 455: A Failed Little Trick (Fourth Update)

The top five of each group in the semi-finals will advance directly, and the two best performers among the remaining players will also advance.

Ramzi was assigned to play in the first group. In this group, there are Kenyan star Joger, Italian star Obrest, Moral star Iguid, South African Deventer and Ramzi's team. Compatriot Ali. All of these people have the strength to enter the finals. The strength of other players who want to enter the finals depends on luck.

As the favorite to win the championship, Ramzi undoubtedly won the promotion as the first in the group, and the second place was taken by Iguid. Kenya's Jog and Italy's Obranst won the third and fourth place respectively. Ali won the fifth place, South Africa's Deventer in sixth place, and Qatar's Bashir in seventh place. The difference between the two results was only 0.2 seconds. Grades are promoted.

After the first group of games is over, the second group of games will start immediately.

At the starting line, Kiprop of Kenya, who is second only to Ramzi as the favorite to win the championship, is looking at Zhang Guan with a chill in his eyes.

Zhang Guan ran a time of 3:32.87 in the semi-finals. This is a result that is eligible to compete for the championship, so any player who comes for the championship will regard Zhang Guan as a competitor.

"Having Ramzi is enough to cause headaches, and now there is another Zhang Guan!" Kiprop frowned slightly. He felt that Zhang Guan might be more difficult to deal with than Ramzi, because Zhang Guan was playing at home. .

In middle and long-distance running, at the final stage, the physical strength of the athletes is actually very low. At this time, in addition to competing for physical strength reserves, the more important thing is to compete for willpower. Kiprop has seen the enthusiasm of the audience in the Bird's Nest, and Zhang Guan is even more popular here. In this venue, Zhang Guan can get unlimited encouragement from the audience, which is obviously a great deal for Zhang Guan. With support, even a player with weak willpower will turn into a bull in heat after hearing the cheers from tens of thousands of people in the audience.

Kiprop looked serious. He stood in front of the starting line, adjusted his breathing, and was ready to start the race.

Inadvertently, Kiprop glanced at the players waiting area, and happened to see the Moroccan Iguid looking at him with a smile.

Kiprop immediately remembered that before the preliminaries, he had laughed at Iguid, and even Zhang Guan, a sprinter who hadn't competed in two years, couldn't run.

"I laughed at Iguid before, and now Iguid must be ready to laugh at me." Anger appeared on Kiprop's face, he snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "I am not like Iguid, It is impossible for me to lose to Zhang Guan!"

In addition to Kiprop, there are also French player Baara and Spanish player Siqueiro in this group, both of whom are also very capable players.

Before the starting line, Zhang Guan looked at the players around him.

"A lot of black people! The short guy over there is an Algerian player, and this thin guy here is an Ethiopian. This Kenyan player seems to be Kiprop, who is second only to Ramzi in the 1500-meter event. The favorite to win the championship. The French player The players are also black..." Zhang Guan looked around and found that besides himself, only the Spaniard Siqueiro, the information player Willis and the Canadian player Sullivan were not black.

"The coach said before that you should be careful when you meet African black runners in the middle distance. There are Ethiopians, Algerians and Kenyans here. Maybe there are very good players among them. Especially the Kenyan Kiprop, who is very strong. Qiang is also the favorite to win the 1500-meter event in this Olympic Games, I will run behind him in a while!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan aimed at Kiprop.

With a gunshot, the game begins,

Zhang Guan's lane-grabbing level is still not good, but this time his lanes are relatively inside, which greatly shortens the distance of lane-grabbing, so he still occupies a better position in the end, and followed Kiprop as he wished.

Twelve players passed through the straight, and the process of grabbing the lane was basically over at this time, and several players who were not very satisfied with their positions launched an attack at the next first corner.

Some people want to run ahead, while others don't want to lead. Some people think their position is not bad. To prevent losing their position, some physical and psychological intrigue cannot be avoided. Those who want to get a better position include Algerian player Birkensa.

Kiprop noticed that Zhang Guan was following behind him, and he was about to interfere with Zhang Guan's game rhythm, but happened to find that the Algerian Birkenza was chasing him from the outside lane, obviously hoping to get a better position.

"Maybe we can show off Zhang Guan!" Kiprop secretly observed Birkensa's position. He was going to increase his speed suddenly when Birkenza approached, so that due to the difference in speed between him and Zhang Guan, there would be a short-term A gap, if Birkenza can seize the opportunity, he can insert this gap and squeeze Zhang Guan behind him.

This is a trick in middle and long-distance running events. African runners, especially Kenyans and Ethiopians, like to use this trick to keep other runners behind and interfere with the opponent's competition rhythm.

At the end of the first corner, Birkenza was approaching, and Kiprop thought the time had come, and immediately began to accelerate suddenly.

"Birkensa should have jumped in between me and Zhang Guan!" Kiprop took advantage of the opportunity of turning into the straight to observe secretly, but found that Zhang Guan was still behind him.

"Eh? Or Zhang Guan? Did Birkenza miss a good opportunity? This idiot, he can't even catch such a good opportunity!" Kiprop decided to create another opportunity for Birkenza, although it would also consume his physical strength , but the bold Kiprop of Yigao obviously doesn't care about consuming more energy to interfere with Zhang Guan's game rhythm.

Kiprop adjusted his rhythm slightly, and after waiting for Birkenza to catch up, he accelerated again suddenly.

"Birkenza must have seized the opportunity this time!" Kiprop turned his head slightly, looked to the side, and found that Birkenza was no longer on the outer runway. Kiprop knew that Birkenza must have successfully entered the final stage. On the inside of the runway, I suddenly felt happy.

"It seems that Birkenza has successfully jumped in between me and Zhang Guan. I think Birkenza and Zhang Guan should go through a fight next time!"

Kiprop felt much more at ease, and continued to run forward step by step. He didn't use the turn to observe the players behind him until he entered the corner here.

A red figure appeared in Kiprop's sight.

"Red sportswear? Algeria's sportswear is a white vest and green shorts. Behind me is not Birkenza, who is that? Whose team uniform is red in this group? Chinese team? Zhang Guan!" Kiprop Thinking of this, he was startled. He looked back again and found that Zhang Guan was still behind him.

"Why is it still Zhang Guan? Where's Birkensa?" Kiprop looked carefully, and then saw Birkensa's figure behind Zhang Guan. Before that, Birkensa was blocked by Zhang Guan's figure. So Kiprop didn't see it.

"What's going on? How did Birkenza follow Zhang Guan?" Kiprop was puzzled, but one thing he was certain of was that his little trick failed.
