Normal people like us can take antipyretic tablets or take antipyretic injections when we have a cold or fever, but professional athletes cannot do this. Professional athletes are very cautious when taking medication when they are sick.
And now that he is still in the competition, Wei Zitao will probably face a post-match doping test. Unless he withdraws from the competition at this time, he will not be able to take drugs at all.
Therefore, Wei Zitao could only rely on his body to fight the cold and fever this time, and water became the only "therapeutic medicine" he could use.
However, Xue Li was worried about another thing, and that was what to do in the finals of the relay race.
Xie Jun is destined to be unable to continue competing due to a bone fracture. Now Wei Zitao has a fever again. Without medical treatment, it is impossible for him to reduce his fever before tomorrow's relay finals.
"Another person is missing! Now there are only three people left, how can we run the relay race!" Xue Li suddenly became depressed.
…
The 200m final was the last race of the day.
"With Wei Zitao's current physical condition, he has no chance of winning a medal!"
"It's really a pity. This should be Wei Zitao's last time participating in the Asian Games. His skills are at their most mature now."
"It's God's will. It happened to rain at this time, and Wei Zitao also had a fever at this time."
Several coaches on the scene discussed in low voices.
Li Dai also felt sorry for Wei Zitao. Wei Zitao's strength in the 200-meter event was very outstanding. His skills in corners were excellent and his explosive power on the straights was sufficient. There was great hope of getting a medal.
It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish. With Wei Zitao's current physical condition with a fever of 39 degrees, it is impossible for him to exert his full strength. Now Wei Zitao can insist on walking on the field and finish the whole distance. Thank God.
"Wei Zitao can't count on us. I hope Zhao Yue can bring us some miracles!" Li Dai glanced at Zhao Yue silently.
Now Zhao Yue's best result has been improved to 20.64 seconds, which is a very good result in the entire Asia. It has broken through the Olympic B standard of 20.75 seconds and is still far away from the Olympic A standard of 20.59 seconds. Just a stone's throw away.
But in the Asian Games finals, if you want to win the championship with a time of 20.64 seconds, you need to rely on the poor performance of other athletes. This can also be regarded as a factor of luck.
Dai Li couldn't help but look at the sky again. The rain was still falling, and it seemed to be heavier than before. The track has already been soaked by the rain and is wet. When athletes walk on the track, they can see the water droplets brought up by the naked eye.
There is still some water on the track. In fact, even the best drainage facilities cannot drain away all the water 100%.
"Clark, Onaid and Xie Jun have all withdrawn from the game, and Wei Zitao is also unable to perform at 100% due to fever. Now it's raining again. This is also an uncertain factor. Maybe for Zhao Yue, this is him Good luck!" Li Dai thought of this and muttered silently:
"Zhao Yue! Come on!"
…
The Japanese team used to be very strong in the 200-meter event, but now, they are somewhat lacking in this event. The young Shosei Oda mainly focuses on the 100-meter dash. The 200-meter runners trained by the Japanese team in recent years do not have any top talents.
The strongest 200-meter runner in the Japanese team is named Yamamoto Zihiko. He is a 400-meter runner who also runs the 200-meter. Among sprinters, the vast majority of them focus on the 100 meters and also run the 200 meters. This situation like Yamamoto Yoshihiko is rare.
Sarafa of the United Arab Emirates is the favorite to win the championship. He defeated Xiangsheng Oda in the 100m final, but lost to Yang Sijie and won a silver medal. Now that he has returned to the 200 meters where he is stronger, he is naturally aiming for the championship. It's just that playing on a rainy day made Onaid very uncomfortable. After all, it rarely rains in the United Arab Emirates.
Also unsuitable are athletes from Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Each of these two countries has an athlete entering the 200-meter final.
Saudi Arabia has money, minerals and oil, but it is short of water. Most areas in Saudi Arabia have a tropical desert climate. Summers are hot and dry, with high temperatures ranging from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. It rarely rains here a year, and even if it does rain, it is very short-lived and dry almost as soon as it hits the ground.
As for Jordan, it is even more water-scarce than Saudi Arabia. Jordan is one of the ten most water-scarce countries in the world. Even the famous Four Seas is about to dry up due to drought.
In addition, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia also have one athlete each entering the finals. It's just that the athletes from these two countries are not outstanding and lack competitiveness in the 200m final.
…
Sarafa looked at the sky with a melancholy look in her eyes.
If it were in the United Arab Emirates, Sarafa would definitely cheer happily when seeing this level of rainfall, but now it is a competition. Sarafa would rather have a sunny day with a temperature of 50 degrees than a climate. A suitable rainy day.
Sarafa is not used to fighting in rainy days. He feels that the track soaked by rain is a bit slippery and soft, which always makes him feel uncomfortable when exerting force.
More importantly, today's temperature is a bit too cold for Sarafa.
Sarafa had been warming up for most of the day, but she still felt that her limbs were not moving. This is a bad sign for the upcoming game.
Sarafa was born in Uganda, which is a country on the equator. Although there are times when the temperature is over 20 degrees Celsius, there is absolutely no cold feeling when the temperature suddenly drops in the subtropics. As for the United Arab Emirates, where he was later naturalized, there is no such cold feeling. Here comes the word "cold".
"This damn weather! It really makes me feel depressed!" Sarafa cursed secretly. He looked at the Kazakhstan athlete not far away. This Kazakhstani athlete was obviously of Russian ancestry, with a tattoo on his exposed arm. , covered with a layer of body hair.
There was a hint of envy in Sarafa's eyes, and she thought to herself that this kind of body hair should make her feel warmer!
Sarafa looked at the track next to him again. Behind him on the left side was Japanese player Yamamoto Yoshihiko.
"Japanese star Yamamoto Yoshihiko, after Clark and Onaid retired, he should be my biggest opponent!"
Sarafa looked to her right side again, where Zhao Yue was carefully adjusting the starting block.
"This person is a player from the host country. He also qualified first in the group in the semi-finals, but I have never heard of him before. He is an unknown guy. According to the information, he is 26 years old and will be 27 soon. This kind of Athletes who are young and haven't achieved any fame yet should not worry about him."
