Chapter 264: The 100-meter sprint in the 400-meter final
After the start of the race, the Bird's Nest, where the majority of Chinese people lived, suddenly sounded the loud cheers of "Come on Huaguo" and "Come on Zhang Huasong".
And Zhang Huasong did not disappoint those who supported him.
Zhang Huasong, who has upgraded his skills to 43 seconds, is simply outstanding among the eight finalists.
Even Jeremy Variner is much slower, not to mention David Neville, who hasn't yet run the 44-second mark in his personal best.
As a result, in the eyes of the audience, Zhang Huasong showed a superior sprint speed from the start. At the end of the first corner, Zhang Huasong was about to catch up with David Neville, who was next to his sixth lane with his fifth lane.
Originally, with David Neville's strength, no matter how slow the speed was, at least he would not be overtaken by Zhang Huasong until the second corner.
However, in order to interfere with Zhang Huasong, Neville almost pressed the limit of the inner line of the runway after starting, and he was about to cross to Zhang Huasong's track if he deviated a little more.
Everyone else just tries to get as close to the inside of the track as possible, but they don't try to push the limits because that would lead to fouls and interfere with their own concentration.
But Neville, in order to interfere with Zhang Huasong, almost did the limit, almost running against the inside divider of his 6th track.
Moreover, his arms were also raised very wide, and they were a little higher than the usual swing amplitude.
This different running action from usual naturally affected his speed.
So, by the time the first corner was finished, Zhang Huasong was almost on the verge of catching up with David Neville, only a meter or two away.
Zhang Huasong was about to catch up with the first opponent so soon, and the Chinese audience in the stands and Zhang Huasong's fans were excited, shouting Zhang Huasong's name and cheering for him loudly.
However, on the track, Zhang Huasong, who was sprinting with all his might, frowned.
Because he noticed that David Neville on lane 6 next to him was not only running against the track line on his side, but also with his arms raised high and wide open.
He was faster than Neville, and to break the record to win the championship, he must surpass David Neville, who was ahead of him at the starting line.
But with Neville's current running move, Zhang Huasong will almost certainly be hit by Neville's hand in the process of overtaking.
Although Neville may be judged to be fouled and sent off in that case, Zhang Huasong's own speed is bound to be affected.
With a skill of 43 seconds, to break the world record of 43.18 seconds, there is only less than one-fifth of a second of the error tolerance, as long as Zhang Huasong dares to pause slightly, he may not be able to break the record.
If he is beaten by Neville a few more times, he may even lose the championship.
After all, Jeremy Varina isn't a vegetarian either!
……
Neville thought he was doing something very vague.
The speed is a little slower than usual, which can be explained as a bad state. Running on the inside of the track on the corner can be explained by his desire to save running distance and get a good result. The swing arm is too high, which can be explained by his unconscious movements.
Even if a foul is eventually adjudicated, it can be attributed to an unconscious foul, rather than a deliberate foul at the behest of someone.
Even if the Chinese people suspect that they are deliberate, their actions are not big, they can't catch evidence, and in the end, the most they can do is complain to the IOC to ban them. But it won't be a scandal, and it won't affect him to get a good job in the Olympic Committee after he retires.
However, neither Neville nor the officials of the Stars and Stripes delegation behind him considered how strong Zhang Huasong's ability to remember was.
Because of the all-round system in hand, Zhang Huasong is not afraid of any opponent, nor does he deliberately study the situation of any opponent.
Jeremy Varina and Zhang Huasong didn't deliberately study, let alone the less powerful David Neville.
However, because he entered the sports world and became a professional athlete, Zhang Huasong still watched a lot of international competitions related to his own competitions.
has the ability to never forget, David Neville usually participates in competitions, what kind of performance, what speed, what kind of swing arm range, Zhang Huasong remembers very clearly.
Compared with the current situation, Zhang Huasong can easily judge that the current David Neville performance of pressing the line, too slow speed, too high swing arm, etc., have never appeared in Neville's previous games.
If it is an anomaly, it may be a state problem or an unconscious movement. But with a few moves in place, and just next to his own runway, Zhang Huasong immediately knew that Neville was deliberate.
Zhang Huasong made a judgment in his heart: Neville wanted to interfere with himself, consume his own time, prevent himself from winning the championship, and sabotage his streak of winning beyond Phelps' 8 gold record.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hua and Xing Piang became direct competitors. At the quadrennial Olympic Games, it is only natural that the two superpowers will also see each other as their biggest rivals.
From the rules of the game to the referee to the direct competition in the game, and even the stumbling in the game, doping, hyping up the scandal of the other party, etc., are all common things.
Huaguo has always pursued the policy of peaceful rise, and for the sake of its international image, it has relatively abided by the rules of the game and has not done much to foul play.
Relatively speaking, the Stars and Stripes rely on the identity of the world's policeman, and they are more unscrupulous.
In addition, in the 400m final, there are three athletes in the Stars and Stripes, and the other party can definitely afford to sacrifice one person's results.
So, let a player sacrifice his results, interfere with himself, and prevent himself from surpassing Phelps' 8 gold record, and the stars and stripes will definitely do it.
Now David Neville's performance, in the eyes of Zhang Huasong, who has the ability to remember, is very different from his usual performance, and it is absolutely deliberate.
However, Neville did not string to Zhang Huasong's track, and there was no obvious foul, so Zhang Huasong had no reason to apply for a stop and a rematch.
Moreover, if Zhang Huasong stopped and applied to the referee to stop the game, and the referee ignored it, if the game continued, Zhang Huasong would be automatically out.
So, no matter what, Zhang Huasong has to keep running. Moreover, to break through Neville's block, quickly overtake in front of Neville, so that he can't interfere even if he wants to.
The only way to overtake quickly is to increase your instant sprint speed!
Fortunately, Zhang Huasong is a 100-meter sprinter himself and a world record holder of 9.54 seconds!
This kind of sprint speed can't even be matched by the full-time 100-meter dash genius Usain Bolt, let alone David Neville, who specializes in the 400 meters.
The 100m and 400m are two very different events in their own right.
In addition to Zhang Huasong, there are no other athletes on the Blue Star who have achieved outstanding results in both 100m and 400m events.
Zhang Huasong is currently the only person in Lanxing who breaks the 100m 10 seconds, 200m 20 seconds, and 400m 44 seconds at the same time, and is known as the king of speed.
If there is anyone else on the Blue Star who can run a 100-meter sprint speed in the 400-meter race, then this person is only Zhang Huasong!
Although this may consume too much physical strength in advance and sacrifice some overall results, Zhang Huasong can only choose this way to overtake David Neville in an instant.
As for whether the final overall score can break the record, it only depends on the will of God! Anyway, the championship must be won!
