The opponent in this competition is not strong. If it were Walter Dix last year, it would be really difficult to defeat him on the 200-meter track, but this year he is nothing to be afraid of!

"set——"

All thoughts dissipated with the issuing of the preparatory command. Wei En responded quickly and prepared a squatting start position.

"boom--!"

"The game begins!" Almost at the same moment as the gunshot, domestic TV viewers heard Yang Jian, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly shout out the explanation.

The moment he received the gunshot signal, Wayne's nervous system responded quickly with a millisecond response, and his body was ejected from the starting block with a powerful explosive force.

This kind of starting action full of violent aesthetics is the charm of sprinting. Unfortunately, due to the position of the live camera, the TV audience can't see it very clearly.

The longer the distance of track events, the lower the requirements for starting reaction, so the starting reaction of 200-meter athletes is always slower than that of 100-meter athletes.

Sometimes athletes who compete in both 100-meter and 200-meter events will tactically use a slower starting reaction in the 200-meter race than in the 100-meter race in order to create a good rhythm throughout the race.

Especially Yohan Blake, who is a fast and durable runner. Last year, his average starting reaction in the 100-meter race was basically stable between 0.170 and 0.180. However, in the four 200-meter races during the season, none of his shots was lower than 0.2.

Second.

Brussels' reaction of 0.269 seconds was not a mistake, but a reasonable performance based on running method.

For Wei En, although his [Endurance] attribute has improved the most since winter training, it does not mean that he has to give up his starting acceleration advantage.

Because the first 30 meters of starting and accelerating are the areas where it is easiest for Wei En to open up a gap between him and his opponents, so you should not miss it!

With a starting reaction of 0.146 seconds, among the remaining seven 200-meter runners, only Walter Dix’s 0.145 could compete with him.

But starting reaction never represents the strength of starting acceleration ability.

After the gunshot, Wei En's start accelerated - it was so fast that it was visible to the naked eye!

Even though he gradually transitioned to a relaxed running state after 30 meters, and did not accelerate to the top speed with all his strength like in the 100-meter race, the visual effect was still very obvious.

After seeing Wei En's performance, Bai Jiajun and others in the stands cheered more enthusiastically, but Randy was still very calm.

Where is this? Given the strength of the usual opponents, it is only normal that Wei En can show obvious advantages in the future.

In track and field events, due to the number of forward extensions, the starting point of the outer lane needs to be moved forward a certain distance to ensure that the theoretical curve distance they need to run is 115.6 meters.

In this case, since the outside players start farther forward, in the curve part of the game, if the difference in strength between the players is very small, it will be difficult for ordinary viewers to tell which one of them performs better in the curve.

Which one is better?

However, if a player "overtakes" the outside player before entering the straight, it means that his corner performance must be better than that of the outside player he "overtakes".

The earlier this "overtake point" occurs, the greater the gap between the two players in cornering performance!

The first "overtake" in this 200-meter race came from Wei En in lane 4 and Maldina in lane 5. The "overtake point" was located at - 52 meters!

That's right, even though Wayne didn't go all out to accelerate, Maldina happened to be on the outside track with a relatively short-term future, so the gap became apparent very early.

Wayne's future acceleration ability is one of the best in the world. Even if he is competing in the 200-meter race now, it will not make much difference. Even Dicks, who was at his peak last year, was in the corner.

In the first 60 meters, it is difficult to beat the current Wei En.

Seeing Wei En's outstanding performance, the Chinese audience in the stadium and Wei En's overseas fans naturally cheered even more enthusiastically.

80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters...

The Khalifa Stadium has a very conspicuous yellow 90-meter marking line for the 200-meter event. Here, the audience can judge the difference in curve performance between the players through their positions relative to the 90-meter line.

There is no doubt that the first one to reach the 90-meter line is Wei En, but if the spectators watch this position through a pause after the game, they will find that Wei En's lead is actually not very big.

Although he "overtook" Maldina at a distance of less than 60 meters, his physical distribution method of "go all out in the first 30 meters → relax after 30 meters → enter the curve into the straight area and then exert all his power" made the opponent on the field

After the players entered the highest speed state in the curve, Wei En did not continue to open up much of a gap.

Especially Walter Dix, at a distance of 90 meters, the gap between him and Wayne was only 0.01 seconds, which was difficult to tell with the naked eye.

So until this time, Walter Dix, who was wearing sunglasses, was still very calm. Although due to injuries, his condition this year has declined slightly compared to last year, but he believes that he will definitely win this game!

Wayne?

Dix had to admit that his 100-meter strength was indeed better than his own, but the IAAF had never had a record of him participating in the 200-meter race before. Could he still break 20 in his debut?

Deeks didn't believe it.

But he seems to have forgotten that he was also a "super genius" who ran 19.69 seconds in the 200m in his first career, setting the third-best time in the history of the United States at that time.

And aliens like Usain Bolt shocked the track and field world by running a time of 9.76 seconds just 0.02 seconds away from the world record in the third 100-meter race of his career.

!

From the moment he started running, he felt the pressure from the fourth guard behind him. Even the warm atmosphere of the scene and the roaring wind in his ears could not cover up the sound of the fast footsteps.

Therefore, the influence of the current stretch was gradually smoothed out. When he came to the section of the curve → straight, Dix glanced slightly to the left and rear, hiding his eyes under his sunglasses, and immediately saw a scene that caused chaos at his feet.

.

At 90 meters, Wei En was only 0.01 seconds ahead of Dix.

And now, at the final corner of 25.6 meters before entering the straight, Wei En - started the second acceleration!

In the corner of Dix's sight, Wei En's figure became clearer and clearer. It was obvious that Dix knew what this meant. Wei En was visibly widening the gap between him and other players!

f**k shit!

Walter Dix's heart suddenly erupted with anger. He was very angry when he lost to the Chinese who was 6 years younger than him in the 100m final at last year's World Championships in Daegu.

In the Diamond League Brussels finals, he was crushed by Yohan Blake again. He was so angry that he left the field angrily without even receiving the diamond trophy.

And now, how can he accept losing to a young man who is trying the 200-meter race for the first time in his career, especially to a Chinese?

Last year's Diamond League Brussels finals loss to Blake caused him to be ridiculed by Jamaicans and Blake's fans on the Internet. If he loses again today...

Walter Dix's eyes hidden under his sunglasses widened angrily. After realizing that the gap between him and Wayne was gradually opening up, he decided to protect his dignity even if he risked his life!

When the curve enters the straight, the influence of the current extension is completely smoothed out at a position only 84.4 meters away from the finish line. After reaching the straight area, the position gap between the players is clearly discernible.

Of course, Wei En was running first. The visual "overtaking" effect brought about by his powerful acceleration ability won him countless cheers and applause. After entering 90 meters, he was even more visible to the naked eye.

The opponents were left behind one after another, and the fiery atmosphere in the stadium reached its climax because of him!

At this time, the gap between Wayne, who was running first, and Walter Dix, who was running second, had opened up by more than one body.

From a 0.01 second lead at 90 meters to 25.6 meters into the straight, the gap between Wei En and Dix has become - 0.06 seconds!

After seeing Wayne's extraordinary performance, Walter Dix began to feel a little desperate.

In the 100-meter event, he has an extremely backward running style, but in the 200-meter event, he has a relatively forward running style.

For many sprinters, they will increase their speed to the extreme after entering 90 meters. The top speed range usually occurs between 100 and 120 meters.

But now, Walter Dix not only failed to stabilize the gap in the top speed stage of 90 to 120 meters, but was instead widened by Wei En, leaving him far behind.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Dix to begin to feel hopeless.

However, there is still a certain hope in his heart...

"I don't believe it! As a 100-meter athlete who has never run a professional 200-meter race before, I admit that your top speed is better! But I don't believe that your speed endurance can match your top speed. In the last 50 meters,

I will definitely catch up with you!"

Walter Dix has a good idea. In his opinion, Wei En's top speed ability is indeed better than his, but after all, he does not have much experience in the 200-meter race. Maybe he can maintain the lead now, but he may not be able to perform well after the top speed stage.

The speed endurance ability maintains relatively high speeds.

120 meters have passed, isn’t there still 80 meters left?

There are many examples of 0.01-second buzzer beaters in track and field. Couldn't it be Walter Dix?

Such thoughts flashed through Walter Dix's mind, so he tried his best to stabilize his eagerness to catch up, completely controlled his late rhythm, and prepared to try to "counterattack" in the last 50 meters.

"!

But what happened next refreshed his understanding again...

At 120 meters, Wei En continued to expand his lead, and the gap between him and Dix was also narrowed to 0.07 seconds!

130 meters - 0.08 seconds!

140 meters - 0.09 seconds!

150 meters - 0.1 seconds!

But in the blink of an eye, the gap between Wayne and Dix not only did not narrow, but became wider and wider. At this point, no one in the audience thought that Dix could complete the overtake.

The steps under his feet became a little heavy, but fortunately, Wei En knew that this was a very normal phenomenon. In the later stage of the 200-meter race, the glycolysis system completely overcame the energy supply flag, and lactic acid accumulated rapidly in the body. This

This feeling is perfectly normal.

He didn't know what Dix was thinking. If he knew, he would only laugh secretly in his heart.

A sprinter who can run 9.88 seconds in the 100-meter race may not have much strong speed endurance at that time, but now that he has begun to enter the 200-meter field, how could he not focus on strengthening his speed endurance?

What about ability?

Entering the 200-meter field means that the targets he has to challenge are Usain Bolt, who is at his sub-peak, and Yohan Blake, who is at his peak.

Dicks, you won't understand.

With strong core strength and excellent adjustment ability, Wei En's technical movements are still very good. It is true that the speed is declining, but the speed drop is much smaller than Dix imagined.
To be continued...
