Chapter 174 Humanity once again ran into 37 seconds!(1/2)

The Jamaican team performed strongly in the first group, and the American team showed no signs of weakness.

In the second group of the preliminaries, the American team sent out a weird lineup composed of Jeff Demps, Davis Patton, Terrell Kimmons, and Justin Gatlin.

Initially, the media and spectators thought that the American team was just trying to preserve its strength and did not include Ian Bailey and Tyson Guyon. They thought that the American team would only advance to the finals with a mediocre result.

Unexpectedly, even though there were only two main players on the field, they suddenly hit a terrifying time of 37.37 seconds, directly breaking the four times of Michael Marsh, Dennis Mitchell, Roy Burrell, and Carl Lewis.

The national record set at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Especially Justin Gatlin, the fourth player, actually hit the fourth segment data of 8.74 seconds!

This data is currently second only to the 8 seconds 68 and 8 seconds 73 run by Asafa Powell at the Yanjing Olympics and the Berlin World Championships, and is temporarily matched with the 8 seconds run by Usain Bolt at the 2009 Zurich Golden League.

74 - tied for third in history!

America's national record-breaking performance not only surprised the teams and track and field spectators, but they themselves were also frightened, but after the shock came the surprise.

Both main lineups can run 37.37 seconds, which gives them great confidence. When they switch to the full main lineup in the final, they will definitely be able to compete with Jamaica!

Wei En was also filled with admiration for Gatlin's performance this time.

Apart from anything else, it was actually quite difficult for Gatlin this season. European and American sports giants such as Nike and Adidas refused to allow him to endorse him because of his past stains. In the end, China's Xtep approached him.

But a problem arises. Xtep is a manufacturer that focuses on entertainment and sports, also known as "trend sports". It has many running shoes and sneaker brands, but... it does not have sprinting spikes.

Later, when I saw Gatlin's condition gradually recovering and running within 9.90 seconds, Xtep came up with the idea of ​​making sprinting spikes.

But the problem is that it was obviously difficult for Xtep to design a pair of spikes with high enough technological content in a short period of time, so they thought of a way: they found a pair of Adidas soles, produced the uppers themselves, and then used glue to bond the soles to the uppers.

Put them up to form a pair of Adidas spikes with the Xtep logo.

Wayne still remembers that during the warm-up for the 100-meter final, he passed by the American rest tent while running laps, and through the tent curtain that was not completely closed, he saw Gatlin using glue to connect the uppers and soles of his shoes. His coach

Dennis Mitchell also complained:

"This fucker will blow you up at 50 meters!"

Fortunately, there were no major problems in the finals. If Gatlin's spikes really "disintegrated" during the game, it would definitely be another epic track and field dish.

------------------

London time on August 11.

Kulkina's performance in the women's high jump final was not particularly good. After jumping a height of 1.97 meters, she tried three consecutive times of 2.00 meters, all of which ended in failure.

The gold medal was finally won by Anna Chicherova, the champion of last year's Daegu World Championships, with a score of 2.05 meters; the silver medal went to Brigitte Barrett of the United States, with a score of 2.03 meters; and the bronze medal went to Spain's Ruth Betia.

, the score is 2 meters.

Kulkina tied for fourth with Yanjing Olympic champion Tia Ellerbo with a score of 1.97 meters, completing her Olympic career debut.

...

After the women's high jump final, the men's 5000m award ceremony and the women's 800m award ceremony were held in the London Bowl. After that, the last event of the track and field events of this Olympic Games ushered in - the men's 4x100m relay final!

Blackjack.

"Okay, let's turn our attention back to the London Bowl and focus on the last event at the main track and field event of this Olympic Games - the ultimate showdown of the men's 4x100 meters!"

"The Chinese team, the Jamaican team and the American team have all fielded their strongest lineups. Judging from the preliminaries, the strengths of the Jamaican team and the American team are roughly equal, and their strength is far superior to other teams."

"However, the Chinese team is not weak. In the preliminaries without Wei En, they ran a good time of 37.76 seconds, breaking the Asian record held by themselves. We have reason to believe that in Wei En,

Under the leadership of En, this Chinese men's relay team will once again raise the Asian limits of this event to a whole new level!"

When talking about this, Yang Jian's tone was filled with obvious pride. In just two or three years, the Chinese relay team has gone from the top level in Asia to the top level in the world, and has already surpassed its old rivals.

Team Hong was far behind.

Under such circumstances, how can you not be proud of it?

"As you can see, the world record is 37.04 seconds set by the Jamaican team at the 2011 Daegu World Championships. The Olympic record is also 37.10 seconds set by the Jamaican team at the 2008 Yanjing Olympics."

"To this day, Bolt is still invincible in the World Series. He has led the Jamaican team to defeat the impact and challenges of the American team time and time again. And today the American team also fielded what I personally think is the strongest lineup in history.

, let’s see if they can work together to defeat Bolt and defeat the Jamaican team!”

As soon as the camera turned, Bolt, Gatlin, Wayne and others who had appeared repeatedly in the picture "disappeared", and the Australian team in lane 2 appeared in the camera.

"Second is the Australian team, with Alochi as the first, Ntamoh as the second, McCabe as the third, and Ross as the fourth."

"The French team is in lane 3, Jimmy Vicott on the first baton, Lemaitre on the second baton, Pelloso on the third baton, and Leonard Vernon on the fourth baton."

"The 4th lane is Asia's second-ranked Neon team, with Ryota Yamagata as the first, Masashi Erikochi as the second, Shinji Takahira as the third, and Hui Takase as the fourth."

"Run 5 - Chinese team! The first team is Su Bingtian, the second team is Lao Yi, the third team is Zhang Peimeng, the fourth team is Wei En!"

"Lane 6, the great Jamaican 4x100m relay team, Nesta Carter in the first leg, Michael Flatt in the second leg, Yohan Blake in the third leg, Usain Bol in the fourth leg

special!"

"Lane 7, the American team that is most likely to challenge the Jamaican team in the past four years, the first team is Terrell Kimmons, the second team is Justin Gatlin, the third team is Tyson Guyon, and the fourth team is coming

En Bailey!”

"Lane 8 is the Canadian team, with Smilley on the first team, Smith on the second team, Connerton on the third team, and Justin Warner on the fourth team."

"Lane 9 is the Trinidad and Tobago team. The first team is Bradman, the second team is Burns, the third team is Callender, and the fourth team is Richard Thompson!"

"Among the eight athletes who entered the men's 100-meter flying competition at this Olympics, except for Martina and Asafa Powell who was unable to compete due to injury, the other six were all standing on the track tonight."

"Bolt, Wayne, Blake, Gatlin, Tyson Gayon and Ryan Bailey, the teams of these six players are also the three strongest teams on the field. Let us look forward to it together.

What a wonderful showdown they are about to give!”

In the Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, the five-star red flags scattered in every corner and fluttering in the wind can be vaguely seen, bringing endless strength to the four Chinese team members who are about to start fighting in the field.

At this moment, every team member is fully focused. They know very well that today their opponent is not the Jamaican team, not the American team, nor the French team or the Neon team, but themselves!

"on your marks!"

As the instructions for everyone to take their seats sounded, the stadium gradually became quiet. The 80,000 spectators at the scene and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV were all waiting with bated breath.

The eight athletes guarding the first leg stepped forward and squatted on the starting block to get ready. A total of 24 athletes from the other three legs were also focusing on the starting area of ​​the first leg at this moment, waiting for the start of the game.

.

"Can the American team defeat the Jamaican team? Can the Jamaican team once again rewrite history and rewrite the limits of mankind? Let us concentrate and pay attention to this 4x100 meter relay final..."

"Set——" Just a few seconds after Yang Jian's words fell, a loud and clear preparation command sounded in the stadium.

"Snapped--!"

The starting gun sounded!

Wei En, who was standing in the handover area between the three and four batons, felt a war drum beating in his mind the moment the gunshot sounded, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

"The game begins! After starting, Su Bingtian did a very good job in accelerating in the corners, obviously better than Ryota Yamagata in the inner lane. Kimmons of the American team should have the best performance on the field, but Nesta Carter also

Don’t show any weakness!”

Affected by the reach number, it is actually difficult to accurately judge whether the players on the field are leading or lagging from the live broadcast screen, unless the gap is very obvious.

Yang Jian's judgment this time was quite accurate. Su Bingtian's performance was indeed much better than Shan Xianliang's, and Kimmons' performance this time was indeed better than Carter's.

On Lane 5, Su Bingtian held on to Nesta Carter on the outside lane. As his speed continued to increase, the "gap" in the forward reach was being recovered by him bit by bit. He started to accelerate and ran on the way.

, in this shot, he is not inferior to the world-famous general of the outside world!

Su Bingtian himself is not clear about this situation. He only knows one thing: guard his stick well!

60, 70 meters, 80 meters...

Enter the handover area!

Lao Yi has already started in front. The ideal state of the relay race is that the team members in front who take over the baton can increase their speed to about 90% of that of the team members behind them. This can create a good handover environment for the baton handover.

If Lao Yi is the kind of player with very strong short-distance acceleration ability, maybe Su Bingtian's speed gradually decreases, and a signal must be sent to ask Lao Yi to slow down first before handing over. This will waste a lot of handover time and also cause too much

The loss of Lao Yi's physical strength.

Lao Yi's start-up acceleration ability has declined significantly compared to his peak in 2010, but in conjunction with Su Bingtian, it's just right!

"catch!"

Like thunder exploding, years of living together and training together have already made the cooperation between Lao Yi and Su Bingtian an incomparable tacit understanding.

When to start, how much strength to use to accelerate, how many steps to take and when to stretch your hand back, it has already become a memory imprinted in the texture of the bones, so when Su Bingtian shouted that "

When he picked it up, Lao Yi had already stretched out his hand.

Without any delay, the baton was quickly handed out by Su Bingtian and pressed down into Lao Yi's palm. The latter suddenly exerted his strength and firmly grasped the baton in his hand.

Efficient, smooth, no mistakes, a perfect handover!

Looking back at the Jamaican team in lane 6, Michael Flatt started to reach back on the eighth step after starting, and completed the handover on the fourteenth step, which happened to be when he reached the 100-meter line.

From the time the gun sounded until Michael Frater reached the 100-meter line, the time of the Jamaican team was 10.16 seconds and the time of the American team was 10.14 seconds.

This is the "whole hundred analysis method". The four athletes in the relay race are treated as a whole to analyze the segmented data. Take the current Chinese team as an example:

The data of the first bar refers to the time taken by Su Bingtian from the start of the first bar to the time it takes for Lao Yi to reach the 100-meter line in the second bar;

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The second bar of data refers to the time it takes for Lao Yi to reach the 100-meter line in the second bar to the time it takes for Zhang Peimeng to reach the 200-meter line in the third bar;

The third leg data refers to the time taken by Zhang Peimeng from the time he reaches the 200-meter line in the third leg to when Wei En reaches the 300-meter line in the fourth leg;

The data calculation for the fourth leg is the simplest. It only needs to analyze the time it took Wei En from the 300-meter line to the finish line.

The first split time of the Jamaican team was 10.16 seconds. This is obviously a poor performance for Nesta Carter, because like him, Su Bingtian also has the season's best 100-meter time of 9 seconds 95. His data is -

—10.12 seconds!

In the first leg, the Chinese team takes the lead!

"Look at the handover between the first and second sticks. The handover between Lao Yi and Su Bingtian is perfect. Lao Yi speeds up!"

After completing the handover, Su Bingtian still raised his arms and shouted at Lao Yi's running figure: "Go! Come on!"

His mission has been completed, and now it’s up to Lao Yi!

While Su Bingtian was raising his arms and shouting, Lao Yi had gradually increased his speed to the extreme. The stride length was not big, but the pace was considerable, and his legs swung out an afterimage.
To be continued...
