Chapter 2375 - 601: The Twin Stars of the Five Tigers

Chapter 2375: Chapter 601: The Twin Stars of the Five Tigers

Leading from the start.

Still leading at seventy meters!

Many spectators have already stood up in the stands, tightly clenching their fists.

The athletes on the field are holding their breath.

They also don’t dare to breathe.

No one expected the first group of the 100 meters preliminaries to be so brutal.

Just as Blake was striving hard, the gap with Huang Kaiwen only became larger.

Huang Kaiwen accelerated again!

Huang Kaiwen never considered him a threat.

Only those who can touch 9.6 seconds have the right to be Huang Kaiwen’s opponent.

Blake was terrified to find that no matter how hard he tried, the red figure ahead remained out of reach.

At eighty-five meters, Gemili was still striving hard.

Just like Blake couldn’t surpass Huang Kaiwen.

He similarly couldn’t catch up with Gay.

Competitive sports are this cruel.

No matter how stirring your lines, you can’t bridge the gap in talent and skill.

The divide inside and outside of 10 seconds is enormous.

Gay can run under 10 seconds, while he currently lingers at the threshold of 10 seconds.

Ninety meters.

Huang Kaiwen’s lead is now visible to the naked eye.

Conservatively estimated, he has left John Blake behind by over two meters.

Ninety-five meters, ninety-eight meters... Finish!!!!

Huang Kaiwen crossed the finish line first!!!

"Huang Kaiwen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Huang Kaiwen has refreshed his personal best, 9.62 seconds, improving by 0.01 seconds since the 2009 Berlin World Championships. The brutal group competition started with Kaiwen, who demonstrated an all-out attitude from the beginning, turning this group into a ’group of death’. John Blake’s 9.85 seconds could only fetch him second place. This score is typically first or second in all groups, yet in just the first group, he couldn’t even claim the championship!"

"Just hours after clinching gold in archery, Huang Kaiwen showcased unmatched speed, demonstrating what athletes who desire victory look like!!!"

"The improvement of 0.01 seconds signifies tremendous effort, and the frightening part is that Huang Kaiwen can undoubtedly run even faster, evidenced by his performance in the group competition. I’m already looking forward to the 100 meters final!"

Boom——

The London Bowl turned into a massive disco venue.

More than eighty thousand spectators hopped and shouted Huang Kaiwen’s name.

In the Canale5 studio, Crudeli frantically shouted: "At 26 years old, Kevin set a personal best of 9.63 seconds; at 29, he ran 9.62 seconds in the group competition."

"Some say Kevin’s participation in five events is a disrespect to the Olympic Games. However, witnessing all Kevin has achieved, would they still say that?"

"Opponents are terrified of Kevin; even South Koreans resorted to bribing Mauro Nespoli to withdraw from the competition, destroying Kevin’s record of full marks in the archery eliminations. This is the best proof. What dream team? Just self-proclaimed! I apologize for previously stating Kevin should leave archery because during the morning interview, Kevin already stated he would stand on the archery field and forever keep South Koreans away from the gold medal!"

"On the archery field, the King of Apennines is a Korean nightmare. On the athletics field, Kevin is a beacon of hope. I foresee that Kevin will remain the sole non-black athlete in the finals."

"117 injuries haven’t defeated him. Every four years, we witness a stronger Kevin than before. Please allow me here, to extend high respect to the Prince’s father from the Thunder’s descent, sovereign of Apennines, Sicily, and the entirety of the Sardinian island, uncrowned king terminator, guardian of London, conqueror of Munich... the best athlete in human history!!!"

The inside and outside of the London Bowl echoed.

The cheers for "Saint Kevin" resonated throughout London.

Huang Kaiwen has already embraced the weeping Gemili, realizing he can only advance depending on the performances of other competitors.

Only the top three of each of the seven groups can directly qualify, with the remaining groups selecting the three best-performing fourth places, totaling 24 athletes for the semifinals.

The scores on the electronic big screen explained everything comprehensively.

1. Lane seven Huang Kaiwen, China, reaction time 0.120 seconds, score 9.62 seconds +0.1m/s,

2. Lane four John Blake, Jamaica, reaction time 0.181 seconds, score 9.88 seconds,

3. Lane five Tyson Gay, United States, reaction time 0.137 seconds, score 9.93 seconds,

4. Adam Gemili, United Kingdom, reaction time 0.147 seconds, score 10.02 seconds.

...

Gemili refreshed his personal best but couldn’t qualify directly.

A preliminaries race ran as intensely as a finals one.

In the third group, the USA Team’s Ryan Bailey ran 9.88 seconds, while Gatlin clocked 9.97 seconds.

In the fourth group, Bolt barely exerted himself, taking first place with 10.08 seconds.

In the fifth group, Powell still decelerated after the last 30 meters, claiming first place with 10.04 seconds.

Chambers also secured first place with a time of 10.02 seconds.

Huang Kaiwen finally completed a day’s competition, while Inzaghi stole the spotlight with tearful eyes, being hailed by the English media as Huang Kaiwen’s best friend.
