Chapter 163 Conquering the American No. 2, New York 200m Semifinals
Soon the 200m preliminaries began.
After the starting gun sounded, the contestants in Group A started the race! After fierce fighting, the African lion Makawala showed the wildness of the lion and won the first place with an absolute advantage!
After Group A left the field, Group B, led by Zhao Yun, came on stage. The event organizer arranged Zhang Peimeng to be in the fourth lane next to Zhao Yun. The significance of the IAAF cultivating the flower-growing market and attaching importance to the flower-growing market is self-evident.
Zhao Yun took the lead at the start of the race, giving his opponents no chance on either the curves or the straights. He won first place in Group B without any suspense! 19 seconds!
As I said, I knew the limit of this level with just a slight move. That year, I had my hands in my pockets and had no idea what an opponent was.
Zhang Peimeng, who was in the fourth lane, also ran his best result this year under the leadership of Zhao Yun. He actually won the third place! He ran a time of 20.49, which is very likely to enter the semi-finals. The American star Dix won the second place in this group with a time of 20.
The C group also went through some fierce battles, and finally the teleporter De Grasse successfully broke through the siege and won the first place in Group C. The American teenager Lyles showed his ability on this track and won the second place.
Group D is known as the most luxurious group. In this group, Van Niekerk, Tyson Gay, Lashawn Merritt, and Kilarney James are all in this group. This is also a group that Zhao Yun pays a little attention to, because there is a high probability that these four people in this group will all enter the 200m final! Zhao Yun wants to see how they are doing today through the preliminaries!
After the race started, the members of Group D went all out. If they had used 90% of their strength in the preliminaries in other groups, they would have basically entered the semi-finals, but the preliminaries results were related to the priority of the semi-finals. Although they did not run at full speed, they ran the best preliminaries.
In the end, Grenada's genius Kirani James broke through the siege, outperformed other opponents and won the first place in 19.92 seconds.
Second place went to Van Niekerk with 19.95 seconds.
Third place, LaShawn Merritt's 19.99 seconds.
American star Tyson Gay finished fourth in 20.41 seconds, not sure whether he was saving his strength or was in poor condition.
The whole audience was in an uproar after the race. In the first group of the qualifying round, three people actually ran under 20 seconds. This result would have won them the championship at other sites!
After Group F came on stage, American star Justin Gatlin and another American star Chris dominated the group, scoring 20.21 and 20.26 seconds respectively, ranking first and second.
There were no challengers in Group G. In the end, the talented young player Gardner from the Bahamas and the famous American player Isa Young won the first and second places in this group. Isa Young ran 20.38 seconds and Gardner ran 20.41 seconds. Flower grower Su Bingtian ran a good time of 20.97 seconds, but it was difficult to advance to the next step!
In Group H, Michael Norman, Cuiwang Bromell and Xie Zhenye were all in this group. Perhaps because their strengths were similar, this group of competitions was more stimulating. The four rushed to the baseline side by side in the last ten meters.
The final result came out and Bromell won the first place in 20.27 seconds.
Michael Norman was second in 20.28 seconds.
In this group, Xie Zhenye was very excited. He was close to Bromell at the beginning, and his steps did not float in the second half. He finally ran his personal best time of 20.59 seconds. He won the third place! He has a good chance to enter the semi-finals.
All four contestants from the Flower Planting Family ran within 21 seconds, which was unprecedented and also showed the progress of the Flower Planting Family's track and field sprint events.

When the results of this competition were announced, the world was shocked. All the top 21 finished within 200 seconds, which was an unprecedented event. It broke the history of the Diamond League. Although it may not be the top contest in the Diamond League, it is definitely the semi-final with the strongest overall ability in the history of -meter track and field. With this result, it is possible that any single person can win the championship of some state championships.
Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head after seeing this, saying, "It's really awesome!" This level of competition, just a New York stop, actually made everyone run for their lives. It may have something to do with the United States and the city of New York. After all, this place has too much traffic. As the center of the world's media, New York has unparalleled exposure. It attracts players to come one after another to show off, fantasizing about becoming famous in one battle!
After two hours of preparation, when all the athletes had replenished their energy and strength, the event organizer announced that the participants in Group A of the 200m semi-finals would enter the venue and prepare!
