On September 24, Beijing time, in the 2021 14th National Games Track and Field Men’s 4X100m Relay Final, the combined team consisting of Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian, and Wu Zhiqiang won the championship in 38.50 seconds. Affected by the rain, the overall performance of the players is not outstanding enough to understand. But if it doesn’t rain, it will be difficult for this lineup to hit the national record of 37.79. After the National Games is over, it will enter the new Paris Olympic cycle. It is hoped that the national relay team will make more adjustments and bold attempts in personnel and rankings, so that it is expected to better activate the fighting ability and morale of the team.
The old lineup dates back to the Rio cycle
In the 2016 Rio Olympics, the top three of the Chinese team were Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, and Su Bingtian. Five years later, only our fourth was replaced by Wu Zhiqiang. At that time, it was veteran Zhang Peimeng. The Chinese team used this lineup for the Tokyo Olympics this year. One of the major reasons may be the tacit cooperation between teammates. On the other hand, Tang Xingqiang and Wu Zhiqiang were active in individual events before the Olympics this year, and could reach the national team’s performance in key competitions. The standard used in the relay field.
At the 2015 Beijing World Championships, the Chinese team composed of Mo Youxue, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng preliminarily raced in 37.92 seconds, breaking the Asian record held by itself, and reaching the final of the World Championships in a historic way. In the final at that time, the Chinese team ran a 38.01. Because the American team fouled, the Chinese team won the silver medal in the World Championships historically. Mo Youxue replaced Tang Xingqiang with the first ball of the Chinese team in the Rio Olympics. In the preliminaries, Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng ran 37.82 seconds to break the Asian record again. In the final, the Chinese team finished fourth with 37.90 seconds, and the Japanese team won the silver medal with 37.60 seconds to set an Asian record.
Only after arriving in Rio did the Chinese team decide to let Tang Xing run the first. Although Tang Xingqiang played well in the preliminaries, he still seemed a little tight in the finals. He has always had a quicker starting reaction. This time it was 0.230 seconds, which was the slowest among the eight contestants. The British team in the first lane had the fastest starting reaction, 0.122 seconds. After the game, CCTV’s special reporter Dong Ri Na also asked Tang Xingqiang on the spot whether he adopted the strategy of “listening to the gun” for stability. Five years later, Tang Xingqiang worked very hard and was very motivated. In the Shaoxing national race in June this year, he ran 10 seconds 22 in 100 meters and returned to the national relay team’s first baton. It was also the result of his own hard work. The arrangement of Xie Zhenye’s second bar and Su Bingtian’s third bar is the core configuration of the Chinese men’s relay team in the past 6 or 7 years.
Several newcomers can enter the relay lineup to try out
From a longer-term perspective, the upcoming winter training is an excellent opportunity for the Chinese men’s 4X100m relay team to boldly try to recruit newcomers and reorganize their personnel and lineup. Except for the two veterans Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian, as well as the two Mesozoic representatives of Tang Xingqiang and Wu Zhiqiang, the newcomers born in the 00s, such as Yan Haibin, Chen Guanfeng, He Yuhong, and Huang Yonglian, all have the ability to run into 10 seconds and 30 seconds, and they can give these newcomers some exercise opportunities. , Try to enter the national relay team for team training.
In the Chongqing National Championships in June this year, the national relay team tried to use the lineup of Su Bingtian, Yan Haibin, Tang Xingqiang, and Xie Zhenye. It is also an attempt to let Su Bingtian run the first bat. Su Bingtian ran the first bat at the Doha World Championships in 2019. Su Bingtian has a fast starting reaction speed, and the first 30 meters alone walked the world. This is a very valuable magic weapon for the Chinese team. Yan Haibin ran the second ball, allowing him to feel the atmosphere of the competition in advance through training and competition, and he has begun to absorb top-level competition experience since he is now 18 years old. Tang Xingqiang defeated Xie Zhenye in the men’s 200-meter final of the National Games to win the championship, showing that his 200-meter ability and cornering ability are also very strong, and he fully meets the standards used by the national team at critical times.
Edison Chen ran 10 seconds 06 in Chongqing in June this year, which was unfortunately 0.01 seconds behind the Tokyo Olympics. In the men’s 100m finals of the National Games a few days ago, these post-00 rookies did not have a better performance, and no one could run into 10 seconds 10. Now the post-00s are actually 21 or 20 years old. If they can improve their individual ability of 100 meters to less than 10 seconds and 10 seconds, or directly reach the Eugene World Championship standard of 10 seconds and 05, they can enter as soon as possible. The Chinese men’s 4X100m relay main lineup is full of confidence.
You can try to make Su Bingtian run the fourth
On the world‘s top stage, the world‘s best relay team, Jamaica, was in its heyday when Bolt ran the fourth. The Chinese relay team still placed Su Bingtian in the third bar with a strength of 9 seconds 83 100 meters. To some extent, he failed to exert his greatest energy. The national relay team can try to make Su Bingtian run the fourth, and the previous three can be said to be unable to find a successor.
Fixing Xie Zhenye at the second stick and Su Bingtian at the third stick certainly has the objective effect of stabilizing the main lineup. But the reason for Su Bingtian’s long-term “contracting” the third shot in the past few years is that his cornering skills are particularly outstanding. Now Su Bingtian is no longer a Su Bingtian with a single ability of about 10 seconds. He can open 9 seconds 90 and run 9 seconds 83. The new Asian speed king with the new Asian record. If our Chinese team resolves the arrangement of the first three bars in the big game, and the fourth bar is handed over to Su Bingtian for a straight sprint, the overall results of the Chinese team’s relay may enter a more significant fast lane.
In the men’s 100m final of the West Safety Games, Su Bingtian won the championship in 9 seconds 95, Xie Zhenye won the runner-up in 10 seconds 10 and Wu Zhiqiang won the third runner-up in 10 seconds 18. On the relay field, China can only make good use of the fastest Su Bingtian, and our relay team may have a significant increase in overall speed.Return to Sohu to see more
