God of Sprint

Chapter 183: The Battle of the Gods before Dawn

When it was Yang Shu's turn to interview Zhao Yun, she was very calm and composed without any shyness.

"Hello! Zhao Yun! I am Yang Shu, a frontline reporter from the IAAF."

"Hello! Reporter Yang!"

"I want to ask you a sensitive question, which is also what fans and viewers want to ask. If you beat Usain Bolt in this race, does it mean that you will be the No. 1 athlete in the Athletics Federation this year?"

The question asked by Yang Shu is extremely provocative, and it is also what the IAAF hopes to have.

"I can't say that because the game hasn't started yet. If I win by chance, I can only say that I beat him in this game, which doesn't represent everything."

Yang Shu continued to ask, "Well! I will interview Usain Bolt today. Do you have anything to say to Bolt about your competition this time?"

"Please tell Bolt that he is a great athlete and I am looking forward to competing against him."

"Okay! I'll tell him."

After seeing off the reporter interview team, Zhao Yun returned to training.

Yang Shu went to interview Usain Bolt.

Bolt said in the interview, "I know Zhao Yun is in very good shape this year, but I have experienced countless challenges, big and small.

Blake was very capable of challenging me back then, but he has not surpassed me yet. I will go all out in this match with Zhao Yun. I am not afraid of anyone’s challenge.”

With Zhao Yun's arrival in England, all the media and audience fans knew clearly that the war was about to begin.

Zhao Yun gave up the competition in Oslo, Norway, in order to prepare for the upcoming peak showdown.

Not only Zhao Yun, but also Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Powell have signed up for this battle.

Moreover, Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin performed well in the two games in the United States. They missed the Rome and Oslo stations consecutively and have been recuperating for a long time.

Justin Gatlin has never been defeated by Bolt since his debut. After losing to Bolt in the Olympics, he has been thinking about revenge all the time. He wants to step on Bolt. Justin Gatlin has faced too many hardships over the years. First, he reached his peak when he debuted, then he was injured, and then he failed drug tests many times and was banned for two years. These two years were Gatlin's peak age and condition! But these did not defeat this fighter, and he still lives towards the sun.

Tyson Gay was known as the greatest sprinter before Usain Bolt. He was surrounded by flowers, applause and spotlights. Unexpectedly, in just two years, Bolt emerged and took away all the glory that belonged to him. From then on, he could only see Bolt's back. He was always holding his breath in his heart and wanted to vent it in Birmingham!

Powell has not participated in any competition since the Doha race, and has been recovering from injuries. In this battle of the century, a game that has attracted so much attention, he wants to prove that he, Powell, is still a world-class player. He doesn't want to fail in every major competition, and he wants to get rid of the title of Bao Laowu!

Another player, Blake, was very upset. If he hadn't recovered from his injury, he would never have missed this match. This was the most likely scenario for the five sprinters plus Zhao Yun, the new Tiger King, to appear in the finals at the same time. He was left with regrets because of his absence, and could only slowly look for opportunities in the future.

The 2012 London Olympics was called the pinnacle showdown by spectators and fans. No one with a time of 9 seconds had a chance to stand on the podium. It was also widely considered the pinnacle of athletics.

Because in the past two years since then, everyone has encountered various problems. Suspension, injury, time, strength and many other factors have always prevented the five tigers from getting together and performing a peak showdown for everyone again.

The Athletics Federation has made a lot of money from this match. Television stations in many countries have signed contracts with the Athletics Federation and have set up a separate section to broadcast this match.

After the interview between Zhao Yun and Bolt was released, it caused a stir on the Internet again.

Some fans who are pessimistic about Zhao Yun on the Internet commented on the match between Bolt and Zhao Yun in this way. Netizens who like Bolt commented, (It can be said that if the second place in the 9-meter race runs under 58, then Bolt can definitely run 9. Bolt's result depends on how fast the second place is. The stronger you are, the stronger I am. The breeze blows over the hills. The weaker you are, the weaker I am. The bright moon shines on the river. I believe that Zhao Yun will force out the best of Bolt in this competition! [grin][grin][grin])

Zhao Yun's supporters believe that (Zhao Yun has won gold medals in all the 100-meter events he can participate in this year. He is the best track and field athlete this year. Because he has won the duels with Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Powell, and Blake. This already explains the situation.)

Some rational viewers said, (Usain Bolt has been recovering from injury since the Olympics. It is still questionable to what extent he has recovered now, but judging from the Spanish Invitational he participated in last month, he has not yet recovered to his peak. He may be testing the waters deliberately. I am optimistic about Zhao Yun in this game!)

Of course, the crazy fans in China won’t tolerate this. (They are all rogues! Just do it. They have long disliked Usain Bolt.)

Tyson Gay and Gatlin have quite a few fans on YouTube and Facebook. When everyone was discussing Zhao Yun and Bolt, they all jumped out to support Tyson Gay and Gatlin.

They said that although they were not at their peak in the previous matches, they would definitely give their best this time under the inspiration of a good opponent. And this might be their last chance in the next two years, and they definitely don't want to retire with regrets.

With the addition of fans of Zhao Yun, Bolt, Gay, Gatlin and Powell, the Internet became turbulent again.

Before the competition even started, YouTube and Facebook had already reached 200 billion.

The popularity of this game in China has reached 300 billion, becoming the most talked-about topic on Weibo. It has overwhelmed all the major stars. However, the brands that cooperated with Zhao Yun are very happy.

This 100m race of the men's Diamond League in Birmingham was called the Big Five Showdown by many media at the 2012 London Olympics.

This time, the media actually used the title "War of the Titans" to promote the game.

As for the 400m race, the media published photos of Zhao Yun and Van Niekerk at the same time, naming them "The Fateful Duel!"

The dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and this oppressive feeling made all the fans feel how heavy this game was.

Everyone is looking forward to the coming of this storm.
