"boom--!"

The starting gun sounded, and in just a split second, the runners who had been squatting almost motionless on the starting block kicked off from the starting block one after another like wild beasts coming out of their stalls, like hungry tigers pouncing on prey.

Pushing and stretching, pushing hips, scraping the ground, and swinging arms, the players on the field entered their own starting acceleration state one after another, starting a short but explosive speed competition!

Before the emergence of Asafa Powell, there was a debate in the sprinting world about "Which one has better sprinting skills, Carl Lewis or Maurice Greene", and many sports science experts are launching a series of discussions on this debate.

Argument.

Due to his height and long legs, Carl Lewis has never been good at starting and accelerating from the front, but his ability to reach extreme speed and kill in the back has always been widely praised.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Maurice Green's sprinting skills are obviously better in the eyes of track and field experts.

Although he was 1.75 meters tall and had a natural stride disadvantage compared to Carl Lewis, who was 1.88 meters tall, he had an unrivaled stride frequency of that era due to his outstanding strength and super kicking, stretching and whipping abilities.

Stride running method and cadence running method seem to be naturally opposed, but it is obvious that cadence running method is the real "secret of winning".

Many times, track and field fans will simply use 44 steps per 100 meters as a standard to measure whether an athlete is a "cadence type" or a "step length type".

If it is greater than 44 steps, it is a cadence type; if it is less than 44 steps, it is a step length type.

So naturally, Bolt has been rumored to be a "long stride type". It is said that his victory is all because of his rare height of 1.96 meters and his average stride length of more than 2.5 meters during running.

But in fact, the track and field world determines how to measure whether a 100-meter athlete is a "cadence type" or a "step length type", based on the "cadence index" and "step length index".

Step length index: step length/height=1.2 (male)-1.15 (female);

Cadence index: cadence x height = 8 (male) - 7.5 (female).

Powell's step length index: 1.209, cadence index: 8.510.

Bolt's step length index: 1.244, cadence index: 8.388.

Wayne's step length index: 1.237, cadence index: 8.125.

So it is obvious that Bolt is both a "step length type" and a "cadence type". At the same time, it can be said that he is currently the only world-class 100-meter athlete who takes into account both stride frequency and stride length.

Wayne's running style is very special. He looks like Asafa Powell in the first 60 meters and Carl Lewis in the last 40 meters. If this running style is taken to the extreme, the final result is actually obvious - Usain Bo

Walter.

Although Bolt's cadence index is very scary compared to his height, he still cannot perform at the world's top level in the first 10 meters because his legs are too long.

Especially now that he has just resumed training for less than two months, his performance in the first 10 meters can only be said to be barely adequate, inferior to Powell, Edwards, Thompson, and Wayne, ranking fifth.

From 10 to 30 meters, after Bolt's legs gradually stretched, he suddenly experienced a huge increase in speed, and seemed to have signs of overtaking Powell and Wynn.

But after 30 meters, Bolt suddenly "stopped" and became entangled with Lemaitre next to him.

This time, Wayne did not hold back on his future, and he and Powell were locked in a battle from the start.

After arriving in Rome, he added points to the system to strengthen his [Strength] attribute, and the [Flexibility] attribute that reached 82 points can also help his body to withstand the impact of injuries during high-speed running.

Ground reaction force.

With the lessons learned from the Magic City, Powell will most likely not give in. With the default that Bolt will win, all he wants is to fight Powell with all his strength!

After 30 meters, Wei En's speed continued to increase, and his two long legs stretched out wildly. Without changing his stride, his cadence seemed to have reached a new level!

"The game has begun! Wei En's start is very beautiful. He closely follows Powell next to him. The two of them are completely evenly matched in the future!"

At 60 meters, the duel between Wynn and Powell has entered a fierce state. At this time, Bolt has been separated by one position from the two of them. Collins is roughly tied with him in the second echelon, followed by Lemaitre.

, followed by Thompson...

The audience at Rome's Olympic Stadium started cheering wildly after the athletes started running. Especially when they saw that Bolt was lagging far behind, the atmosphere reached a climax.

"Bolt! Bolt! Bolt..."

"Powell! Powell! Powell..."

"Wei En! Wei En! Wei En..."

These voices shouting for the players they love and support merged into the roar of thousands of people in the stadium, stimulating the players on the track to fight hard.

Perhaps hearing the calls of the fans at the scene, Bolt, wearing a blue-gray sleeveless sportswear, stretched out his long legs and started his journey with an average stride length of 2.59 meters and a cadence of 4.14 steps/second.

That iconic come-from-behind show!

When he reached 80 meters, Powell turned his head slightly and looked at Wei En, who also looked at him without any sign of weakness.

The two of them have been competing from the start to now, and it's time to decide the winner.

Come on, I will never lose to you again in the last 20 meters!

Come on, I'll do it again in the last 20 meters...

Powell saw Wayne's warlike eyes suddenly widen, with astonishment written all over his face. Powell followed his gaze and turned around, only to see...

Bolt, who was originally a long way behind them at 60 meters, had already caught up with them, grinning wildly at them, showing his iconic big white teeth.

The sound of "puff puff" footsteps continued to sound on the runway, and the last 20 meters passed by in the blink of an eye. Bolt, wearing a blue and gray sleeveless sportswear, was once again the first to rush without any suspense.

Passed the finish line.

This is absolute strength!

9.90!

The moment Bolt crossed the finish line, the timer next to the track immediately displayed Bolt's crossing score.

On the track after the finish line, Wei En and Powell stopped at the same time, looking at the tall man in front of them who easily won the race with helplessness on their faces.

"Although I have seen this scene countless times on TV and on the Internet, it wasn't until I saw it myself that I realized how ridiculous it is!"

Powell patted Wayne's back gently and comforted: "It's okay, I've gotten used to it a long time ago, and you will get used to it sooner or later."

"Thank you!"

Powell failed to understand the meaning of Wei En's words and replied with a smile: "You're welcome!"

On the big screen, the slow-motion lens of the high-speed camera played the process of the competition again, and the results after verification by the finishing referee were officially released:

Wind speed: 0.6m/s

1 – Jamaica – Usain Bolt – 9.90 sb

2 – Jamaica – Asafa Powell – 9.93 sb

3————China————Wei En————9.94 ar

4————France————Lemaitre————10.00 sb

5————skn————Kim Collins————10.12 sb

6————tto——Richard Thompson——10.13 sb

7 - America - - Ray Edwards - 10.20

8—Jamaica—Mario Fossey—10.21

9 - Jamaica - LeRon Clark - 10.31

Wayne looked at Bolt, who was surrounded by reporters and holding flowers in his hands, and stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his face full of helplessness and unwillingness.

9.94 seconds is another new Asian record, but in front of Bolt, this 9.94 seconds is like a paper lake.

So what about the Asian record? Facing his unstoppable super late talent, Wei En felt powerless and desperate for the first time.
