Chapter 222: Countdown to the Olympics

At 19:20 p.m. on July 18, French time, the men's 200m final of the 2008 IAAF Golden League Paris Station officially began, with Zhang Huasong in lane 2 and 2004 Athens Olympic champion Sean Crawford in lane 4. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With a gunshot from the starter, all eight competitors at the starting line of the corner rushed out, with Zhang Huasong in first place with a starting reaction of 0.116 seconds and Shaun Crawford with a starting reaction of 0.133 seconds.

Seeing Zhang Huasong's starting reaction of less than 0.12 seconds, many viewers and reporters sighed that Zhang Huasong's state was too stable to be surprising.

In all the races Zhang Huasong has participated in so far, his starting reaction has not fallen below 0.14 seconds.

For other athletes, when they are fast, they can advance by 0.12 seconds, and when they are slow, they can fall beyond 0.20 seconds, and the state fluctuates too much.

In terms of the stability of the starting reaction alone, Zhang Huasong has to press many people.

On the field, Zhang Huasong not only overwhelmed the other runners in the starting reaction, but also stood out in the crowd in speed.

Although Shaun Crawford won the 2004 Athens Olympic championship, his Athens winning time was only 19.79 seconds, and it can only be said that everyone did not play well in the 200m final of that Olympic Games, which made Sean Crawford pick up a bargain.

In fact, Shaun Crawford's personal best was less than 19.6 seconds, which was still at his best. Normally, Shaun Crawford is at around 19.8 seconds.

Zhang Huasong ran with Sean Crawford in 19.4 seconds, and there would be no problem.

As for the rest of the players, not to mention.

As a result, Zhang Huasong, who was in the penultimate position when starting on the corner, had already surpassed all his opponents and was in the first position before the end of the corner.

After entering the straight, the audience can clearly see that Zhang Huasong's lead is obvious.

Sean Crawford wanted to refuel to catch up with Zhang Huasong, but he could only chase farther and farther.

Then, to the exclamation of the spectators, Zhang Huasong crossed the finish line by a huge advantage of four or five meters ahead of second-placed Sean Crawford.

Then, the finish timer showed Zhang Huasong's winning time: 19.45 seconds.

The commentators at the scene and on TV were stunned for a moment, and then roared loudly: "In 19.45 seconds, Zhang Huasong ran a time of 19.45 seconds, which is the second time in the history of the men's 200 meters, second only to the world record of 19.32 seconds set by Michael Johnson in 1996." ”

Hearing that this was the second result in history, the audience was boiling, and everyone gave a standing ovation.

With only 20 days to go before the Olympics, Zhang Huasong ran the second-fastest time in history with 19.45 seconds. With Zhang Huasong's steady and rising competitive state, I am afraid that his achievements in the Olympics will only be higher, not lower.

Michael Johnson, who has held the world record for 12 years, is likely to be broken by Zhang Huasong!

And Michael Johnson has retired, and in the men's 200m, Zhang Huasong's chances of winning the championship are already very high.

With the 200-meter run running second in history, Zhang Huasong is likely to win more and more Olympic events, and everyone is looking forward to Zhang Huasong's performance in the Olympic Games!

After several other competitors crossed the finish line, the big screen also showed everyone's detailed results, and finally Zhang Huasong won the championship in 19.45 seconds, and Sean Crawford won the second place in 19.88 seconds.

In fact, with a run of 19.88 seconds, Sean Crawford is already in good shape!

But compared with Zhang Huasong, he was 0.43 seconds behind, a gap of four or five meters, which was really embarrassing. Sean Crawford could only sigh and leave the field without celebrating.

Zhang Huasong celebrated with Shu Yufei and Pan Xiaowen on the sidelines, but he didn't celebrate for long.

Because there were competitions in other events, Zhang Huasong just hugged his girlfriend briefly, and then withdrew from the arena and returned to the lounge to let Ye Wenfei give him physiotherapy to recover his state.

Then, the clock passed slowly, and at 21:30, the men's 100m trapeze battle of the Paris Golden League began.

However, this time around, only Zhang Huasong and Asafa Powell competed, and Tyson Gay did not participate, choosing to compete in the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Stockholm, Sweden, four days later.

Asafa Powell wanted to take advantage of the momentum that he had just broken the 9.7-second mark to defeat Zhang Huasong to win the championship.

However, last time he ran by pressing the gun to run a time of 9.69 seconds.

This time, without the help of a pressure gun and a downwind of up to 1.2 m/s, Powell could not run the 9.7-second mark again, and his final time was 9.78 seconds, which is actually quite good.

And Zhang Huasong is in a stable state as always, easily aiming at Powell with 9.6 seconds of skills, just crossing the line faster than Powell.

In the end, while Zhang Huasong retained his strength, he still won the championship in 9.70 seconds, and Asafa Powell finished second in 9.78 seconds.

As soon as the game ended, the audience and reporters gave Zhang Huasong warm applause.

So far, Zhang Huasong has ended all the competitions before the Olympics, and has achieved a terrifying record of four double championships in the Golden League and four consecutive championships in the 100-meter sprint.

Except for the 10,000 meters and the marathon, I don't know how far Zhang Huasong's strength has improved, and the other 8 events, Zhang Huasong has shown the strength to compete for the championship.

Moreover, several events look like they have a pretty good chance of winning the event!

For example, in the 100 meters, Zhang Huasong is the world record holder, and has won four consecutive championships in the Golden League, and his state is terrifyingly stable; for example, in the 200 meters, when the world record holder Michael Johnson has retired, Zhang Huasong is the first person in the world in the 200-meter sprint; for example, the high jump, javelin, etc., are also the best results of the year.

The other projects are also achievements with the strength to compete for the championship.

In the Beiping Olympics, Zhang Huasong may really create an unprecedented new history of track and field.

The media is also keen to hype Zhang Huasong's achievements and the possibility of winning gold in various events, as well as who is the most likely of Zhang Huasong and Michael Phelps to break Mark Spitz's record of 7 gold medals in a single Olympic Games.

In fact, most of the media are still more optimistic about Phelps.

Although Zhang Huasong has the strength to win the championship in every event, after all, he has not won the championship and has not even participated in the Olympic Games, who knows if Zhang Huasong will collapse under the pressure of 1.3 billion people in China?

Phelps, on the other hand, proved himself at the Athens Olympics, where he won 6 golds and 2 bronzes in 8 events, all of which finished in the top three, and none of them were empty.

Now that four years have passed, Phelps is definitely stronger, and he said that he wants to win all eight events, but he is not saying it.

However, no matter what, Zhang Huasong's performance is also worth looking forward to!

With 20 days to go before the opening of the Olympic Games, it is worth looking forward to who will surpass Mark Spitz between Zhang Huasong and Phelps!
