Chapter 2379: Chapter 602: Duel of the Sprinters

The pressure Powell brought to Huang Kaiwen was actually not as significant as that from Gay and John Brooke, because once you get to know Powell, you always feel like this guy will slow down at the last stage.

Even if you don’t intentionally think about it, seeing him will immediately remind people of this fact.

After forty meters, Huang Kaiwen finally managed to shake off Powell.

The gap between them reached a body-length distance.

At this moment, Huang Kaiwen stopped thinking about anything else.

The upcoming 100-meter final is the real test.

At sixty meters, Gatlin began to explode and started catching up with Powell.

At this point, Powell’s stride clearly changed, which is the pressure given to him by his opponent.

Huang Kaiwen continued to grit his teeth and push forward.

He had no intention of paying attention to the matters behind him.

Seventy meters.

The situation of the race gradually became clear.

Gatlin was already a step ahead of Powell.

However, the two had a very obvious lead, forming the second-leading group.

Trailing behind them were the Trinidadian athlete Bledman, followed by Vicot in lane two, with Sanneh and Might in about the same position.

The home crowd’s James Dasaolu was sitting at the back.

"Huang Kaiwen is still leading, Huang Kaiwen is at the front, Huang Kaiwen is about to cross the line... won, Powell still slackened a bit in the end, but he still held onto the third position."

"The semifinals truly had no difficulty, Huang Kaiwen once again advanced to the Olympic 100-meter final, 9.70 seconds, a bit slower than during the preliminaries, but it can be understood, Huang Kaiwen should be preparing for the finals. The competition of this London Olympic Games is too intense, the group stage results are out, all the top four are within ten seconds!"

The electronic big screen displayed everyone’s results.

1. Lane five, Huang Kaiwen, China, reaction time 0.130 seconds, result 9.70 seconds,

2. Lane four, Gatlin, United States, reaction time 0.148 seconds, result 9.81 seconds,

3. Lane three, Powell, Jamaica, reaction time 0.132 seconds, result 9.90 seconds,

4. Lane eight, Bledman, Trinidad, reaction time 0.145 seconds, result 9.94 seconds,

Indeed more exaggerated than during the preliminaries.

All from the first semifinal group ran within ten seconds.

In the final, the top two from three groups directly advance, with the remaining two best third places advancing.

Even Bledman, who ran within ten seconds, got eliminated like this.

The crowd at the London stadium erupted into cheers once again.

After the semifinals, the appetizer, the crowds are waiting for the finals shortly after.

Inzaghi on the stands raised his arms frantically, hugging unknown spectators next to him.

Now many people know this "Huang Kaiwen’s best friend."

Although this title has a hint of mockery, Inzaghi’s level of engagement in the audience is no joke. "The Sun newspaper" even compared him with ten other exaggerating fans.

However, Inzaghi’s anxious, introverted, and tense performance was still selected as the best spectator of the Olympics so far.

The director deliberately gave him some frames to reflect the intensity of the game.

Huang Kaiwen simply waved to the spectators.

Giovanni Nanni was the first to hand Huang Kaiwen a towel, asking, "How do you feel?"

"Not much consumption."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

The close interval between the 100-meter semifinal and final was for this reason.

"Do you need to replenish some energy?"

Giovanni Nanni asked.

"Replenish some protein, I’ve lost quite a bit in these days."

Huang Kaiwen said.

At this moment, Huang Kaiwen saw Bolt walking out.

Bolt also saw Huang Kaiwen, their eyes crossed, neither stopped. But both understood each other’s intention—see you in the finals!
