Chapter 188: The gold medal is in hand

At 55.36 meters, Chen Qiang successfully broke the world record in the discus throw.

Prior to this, the world record for discus was held by Germany's Willy Schröder at 53.10m, and Chen Qiang directly improved the world record by 2.26m.

Before the advent of the back-spin throwing technique, the world record of the discus was 53.26m, and in the 40s, the Italian athlete Adolfo Consolini invented the back-spin throwing technique and broke the world record three times, while Adolfo Consolini's third world record was 55.33m, which was similar to Chen Qiang's result.

In fact, Chen Qiang's discus throwing technique is closer to the modern discus throwing technique than Adolf Consolini's technique, Chen Qiang's center of gravity is lower, and this low center of gravity back-to-discus throwing technique can exceed the 70-meter mark. Chen Qiang used the same technique, but he could only throw 55.36 meters, in this respect, Chen Qiang is too far behind those discus world champions in later generations.

However, in 1936, the score of 55.36 meters really shocked everyone.

Since the establishment of the IAAF, mankind has recorded the world record of the discus, and this is the first time that someone has been able to improve the world record of the discus by more than two meters!

At that time, it was possible to bet on a distance of 50 meters to win most races, but in a heavyweight competition such as the Olympic Games, the results were better due to the participation of world record holders, and the championship could reach about 53 meters.

But the previous world record was only 53.10 meters, and at that time, there were no more than five people in the world who could throw more than 53 meters!

Chen Qiang threw 55.36 meters at once, which immediately made other athletes feel deep despair.

Before Chen Qiang debuted, the top few players were still pondering, and the next three attempts to throw a big explosion and throw a score of more than 50 meters might be able to win the championship. And with Chen Qiang's 55.36m, all this hope was dashed. For a group of athletes who are difficult to throw 50 meters, 55.36 meters is simply an insurmountable mountain.

Even former world record holder Willie Schröder had a dejected look on his face at this time. With his strength, if he plays well, he will definitely be able to throw more than 53 meters again, and even break his world record, but a 55-meter score makes him have the idea of giving up the competition. If Chen Qiang threw a 53.36 meter, Willie Schroeder would definitely try to fight hard, maybe he could overtake, but now it is 55.36 meters, which directly extinguishes Willie Schroeder's enthusiasm to continue to fight.

Chen Qiang is more than 55 meters, what is this game better than!

"Exceeding 55 meters, that Chinese once again broke the limit of human beings!" The head coach of the American team shook his head helplessly, although the American team's Gordon Dunn and Ken Carpenter both entered the finals and the results were very outstanding, but the head coach of the American team knew that the gold medal in the discus throw had been missed by the American team, and the two players of the American team did not have the ability to throw a distance of more than 55 meters.

In the next second, the head coach of the American team suddenly remembered Chen Qiang's back-to-back rotation investment technique.

"Because of that new technology, Chen Qiang was able to break the world record because of his throwing technique of turning his back to the direction of the throw and then rotating his body!" The head coach of the U.S. team is aware of this.

"High jump, long jump, and today's discus, Chen Qiang's world records in these three events rely on new technicians, and if we American athletes also use the same technique, it will not be much worse than Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang's world record also fully proves that track and field should still develop new technologies! ”

This idea is becoming clearer and clearer in the mind of the head coach of the American team, and Chen Qiang's success made him realize the importance of new technology, and at the same time, he also decided to vigorously carry out track and field technology research and development after returning to the United States, and bring track and field sports to a technology-based road.

In fact, in the thirties, track and field technology was indeed in a relatively primitive era, and the advanced technology of later generations could indeed dominate that era. But all track and field techniques are also developed step by step, and finally slowly mature and take shape.

At the level of the thirties, if we forcibly develop track and field technology, it may not be able to achieve good results. There were no high-speed cameras, no computer analysis, and even basic sports science.

For example, in the nineties developed the League of Legends game, although the game is very good, but at that time those Pentium processor computers simply could not bring this game, even if the computer can bring up, the telephone line and the network speed of the cat Internet, that is really a step a card, the card is chic, one step a stop, stop in style.

Today's Americans are focusing on developing new technologies for athletics, which is the equivalent of playing League of Legends with the computers and internet speed of twenty years ago.

Chen Qiang, a traverser, is already familiar with future technology, and he also has a training space for future training, so he can practice and use future technology, simply put, Chen Qiang is just copying future technology, he is just a technology learner, not a technology developer.

After Chen Qiang broke the world record with new technologies one after another, Americans suddenly felt that new technology was the most important thing in track and field, so they began to develop new technologies, and they wanted to be technology developers.

So in the time and space where Chen Qiang appeared, in the next 20 years, all kinds of strange new track and field technologies appeared in the United States, and Americans were also happy to develop new track and field technology, until the rise of track and field in the Soviet Union, American track and field was brought back on track.

……

To get back to the point, although Chen Qiang broke the world record, the competition still had to be played, and the athletes had to continue to complete the remaining three test throws.

The order of appearance was rearranged, and the worst score in the first three attempts came first, and the best score came later, so Chen Qiang would appear last. However, Chen Qiang did not plan to try throwing again, and the score of 55.36 meters was enough to ensure the championship.

First up was former world record holder Willy Schroeder of Germany.

At this time, Willie Schroeder seemed a little depressed and a little unintentional. After all, the world record he holds has been broken by Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang's 55.36 meters is an unattainable achievement for him.

As a world record holder and a home game, Willie Schroeder was determined to win the gold medal, so when he knew that the gold medal was hopeless, he was also the most depressed. In comparison, other athletes fared much better, after all, they didn't set their goals as high, and even if they didn't win a gold medal, they would be much less frustrated.

Willie Schroeder walked into the throwing zone with frustration in his heart, he grabbed the discus and looked into the distance, but the decadence in his heart was even better.

The former world record holder has lost his fighting spirit, even on his home turf, even when surrounded by a crowd cheering him on, and he has lost confidence in the face of an unattainable result.

Perhaps for Willie Schroeder, the cheers from the crowd will make him feel even more sad because he can't bring a gold medal to these compatriots who support him.

Willie Schroeder completed his fourth attempt as if it were routine, and his time was only 47.39m, which was still far from the 50m mark.

The second to appear is Norway's Radar. Dale was in a bit better than Willie Schroeder, throwing 47.66m.

The third is American Ken Carpenter. He is the historical discus throw champion at the Berlin Olympics, and he is also the only person to throw more than 50 meters at the Berlin Olympics.

At this time, Ken Carpenter seemed to be still immersed in the shock of the 55.36m world record, and he didn't seem to be fully in the game until he stepped onto the field. As you can imagine, his fourth attempt ended in a foul.

The fourth was Italian skinny pole Giorgio Oberwig, who threw 47.28m, which is not very high, and he was obviously influenced by Chen's world record.

The fifth was American Gordon Dunn, who threw 47.21m, which was also not an ideal result.

These five athletes were obviously influenced by Chen Qiang, after all, a world record of 55.36 meters is really shocking, after seeing this world record, these five people know that the championship has left them, which also consumes their fighting spirit to a certain extent, so their results in the fourth attempt have also been affected.

If Chen Qiang's results were not so "perverted", maybe this situation would not have happened, at least other athletes would try to fight hard, but 55.36 meters is beyond their ability, and no matter how hard they fight, it is meaningless.

Chen Qiang was the last athlete to appear on the stage, and since he had just broken the world record, all the spectators and athletes around him looked at Chen Qiang with an expectant gaze, hoping that he could make achievements again.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Qiang directly chose to abstain. Soon, the referee announced the result.

"Chen Qiang abstained? Why abstain? ”

"He just broke the world record, he should be in the right shape, he shouldn't have abstained!"

"Could it be that he was injured? Can't make it again? ”

"It's possible, it's 55.36 meters, maybe it's really too much force and I'm injured."

People talked a lot, and those who were closer to Chen Qiang even gave Chen Qiang a concerned look.

Only Jesse Owens spoke: "Chen Qiang is buying time to recover his strength!" ”

Jesse Owens is one of the world's top athletes, and he guessed Chen's intentions at a glance.

……

The discus competition continued, and the coaches of the teams saw that the athletes were absent-minded, and they were shocked by Chen Qiang's 55.36 meters, and they couldn't show their true strength at all, so these coaches encouraged the athletes one after another, hoping that they could recover as soon as possible.

On the fifth attempt, Germany's Willy Schroeder threw 47.81m, and his form has obviously not recovered, and he is still in the shock of 55.36m. As a former world record holder, he was the most affected and slower to recover.

Norway's Radar threw a 48.65m pitch and his performance is improving, and it can be seen that he is shaking off the psychological shadow of 55.36m.

Ken Carpenter of the United States threw 50.48m, the second time to exceed 50m today.

Ken Carpenter has thrown 53.08m in domestic competitions in the United States, making him one of the few players in the world who can throw more than 53m. Today's 50.48m, although he is still more than two meters away from his peak result, such a result can already prove that he has stepped out of the shadow of 55.36m and began to find his form.

However, Ken Carpenter's 50.48m made his compatriot Gordon Dunn feel a lot of pressure. At present, Gordon Dern's score is 49.36m, which was originally second only to Chen Qiang, but now it has been surpassed by Ken Carpenter and ranked third, and the silver medal is instantly for bronze.

Chen Qiang's 55.36 meters has destroyed Gordon Dunn's self-confidence, and now Ken Carpenter has put pressure on him again, so Gordon Dunn's trial throw only threw 47.77 meters.

Chen Qiang, who was the last to appear, still chose to abstain.

The sixth and final attempt. The results of this attempt have nothing to do with the ownership of the championship, after all, the other five competitors are not capable of throwing more than 55 meters.

Germany's Willy Schröder's results were still not satisfactory, throwing only 47.93m, the former world record holder, in his home stadium, but completely missed the medal, which made the disappointment sigh in the audience for a long time, and even many people shed sad tears.

Willie Schroeder also looked frustrated, he walked off the field with his head down, and tears couldn't help but flow.

This scene moved many people, and everyone felt the cruelty of competitive sports, and several other players who had not yet appeared on the stage even had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. The state that had been slowly recovered has also disappeared for most of it because of this negative atmosphere.

As a result, the results of the remaining four runners were not satisfactory, and none of them threw more than 48 meters.

Gordon Dunn, who appeared in the penultimate game, ended his journey to the Berlin Olympics with a foul, and at this time, Chen Qiangzi really locked up the discus championship.

In the last attempt, Chen Qiang still did not appear, and he was preparing to participate in the award ceremony for a long time. And then he has one of the toughest races, that is, the 200m final, where Chen Qiang has to face Jesse Owens again.

Jesse Owens is known as the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century, and Chen Qiang has seen a lot of records about him. Jesse Owens is well-versed in many track and field events, but judging by his results, he should be best at sprinting at 220 yards.

Jesse Owens showed his sprinting talent in junior high school, when he was only fifteen years old, as a novice in track and field, he participated in the school's 220-yard race and achieved a time of 22.9 seconds, since then Jesse Owens has been favored by the coach, began systematic training, and embarked on the road of track and field.

And in that "Greatest 45 Minutes", Jesse Owens broke five world records, one of which was the world record of 220 yards, when he ran 220 yards in just 20.3 seconds. The 220 yard is arguably one of Jesse Owens' best sports.

If 220 yards is converted to "meters", it is about 201 meters.

In other words, Jesse Owens once ran 201 meters in 20.3 seconds!

At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, the 200-meter world record set by Chen Qiang was only 21 seconds!
