Chapter 192: Again!

Forrest Downs crossed the fourth hurdle, and at the same time, he suddenly felt that Chen Qiang's fourth hurdle was a little faster.

"Is it a delusion? No, not a delusion! Chen Qiang's hurdle is indeed a little faster than me. Forrest Downs said in his heart.

If it were someone else, even if it was a track adjacent to Chen Qiang, he might not be able to perceive this, but Forrest Downs is the kind of talented hurdler, and the intuition of a talented athlete makes him realize that Chen Qiang is faster than himself at the first time.

"Chen Qiang has become faster, I have to work harder, otherwise I will really lose to him!"

After crossing the fourth hurdle, Forrest Downs also started to make a splash.

Although Forrest Downs said that he hoped Chen Qiang could beat him, the world record holder still didn't want to lose when it came to the competition.

Forrest Downs, meanwhile, is confident in himself and feels that a little bit behind in the fourth hurdle will be able to come back in the fifth.

However, Forrest Downs didn't know that Chen Qiang not only had a better sense of rhythm, but also used the technique of Liu Xiang in the future, and this was also a hurdle technique suitable for yellow people.

In the blink of an eye, the two were in front of the fifth hurdle.

Chen Qiang is still the first to take the lead and quickly put on the bar.

"So quick to get on the bar!" Forrest Downs then noticed that the reason why Chen Qiang was a little faster than him was because he was faster on the rails.

Immediately afterwards, Forrest Downs found that Chen Qiang's hurdle speed was also faster than his own.

Increase the speed of the swing leg and increase the speed of the cross-leg lift, the speed of the upper hurdle will naturally be faster, and the speed loss of the hurdle will naturally be smaller.

It's just that Forrest Downs doesn't understand this, he just feels that Chen Qiang's whole set of hurdles is faster than himself.

In the fifth column, Forrest Downs didn't catch up with that little bit of gap, Forrest Downs was not discouraged, and there were five more hurdles, and Forrest Downs still had time.

Forrest Downs couldn't help but start to accelerate at full speed, and he began to increase his speed during the flat run, while leaning his weight forward as he hurdled.

This is a typical speed-based hurdling technique, which was developed slowly in the late thirties.

Before the advent of speed technology, hurdlers were much less fast than sprinters, but after the advent of speed hurdles, the time difference between hurdle running and the same distance has been shortened to less than 2 seconds, that is, completing a 110-meter hurdle is less than two seconds slower than running a 110-meter hurdle. As a result, many sprinters and hurdles athletes were born in that era, such as Harrison Dillard of the United States, who was the Olympic champion in both the 100m and 110m hurdles.

At present, it is only 1936, and the speed hurdle technology is still in its infancy, or the speed hurdle technology of this era is still a difficult technology. That is, only a talented athlete like Forrest Downs can use it.

Forrest Downs thought that after he started to improve his speed, even if he couldn't close the gap with Chen Qiang immediately, he would not be slower than Chen Qiang. The reality, however, is that by crossing the sixth hurdle, the gap between them has not narrowed, but has widened.

"What's going on? The gap is even bigger! Forrest Downs' heart tightened.

The hurdle technology that is ahead of the times has finally shown its power at this time!

Immediately after the seventh hurdle, there was finally a visible gap between the two, and even the audience could see that Forrest Downs was starting to fall behind!

……

The gap visible to the naked eye fell into Forrest Downs's eyes, and at this moment, a ray of horror rose in his heart, not because he was behind Chen Qiang, but because he began to catch up three hurdles, but instead of narrowing, the gap became larger.

Forrest Downs never faced this situation, he was a genius in the 110m hurdles, although he only started practising hurdles in 1934, but his career has always been on the rise, from 1934 to 1935, Forrest Downs kept up with stronger opponents, and since 1935 he has never tasted defeat again.

An athlete who maintains an undefeated record naturally does not experience the feeling of desperately chasing after his opponent, but being thrown farther and farther away.

"Chen Qiang, you really didn't disappoint me!" Forrest Downs' face suddenly appeared with that strong fighting intent, and a special feeling rose from his heart.

It's a thirst for victory!

For Forrest Downs, who has gone undefeated for nearly a year, the feeling is both foreign and familiar. In the past, he was eager to win, so he continued to create better results on the field, but when he stood at the top of the world, this desire for victory became weaker and weaker, and he even forgot this feeling of pursuing victory.

And now, Forrest Downs is behind, but he has regained his desire to win.

What's more, he chased Chen Qiang three hurdles, but the gap was getting bigger and bigger, which gave him a sense of urgency, and this sense of urgency also made him feel the tension he hadn't felt for a long time again!

Forrest Downs felt that his body was beginning to get excited, and at this time, he seemed to be full of endless power.

"Rush up, I can overtake him!" Forrest Downs only feels a burst of self-confidence, and he firmly believes that he can definitely surpass Chen Qiang in the next three hurdles.

……

On the sidelines, the head coach of the American team looked anxious.

With Forrest Downs' strength, the probability of losing the game is not great, he is already invincible in the United States, and it is difficult for European athletes to pose a threat to him, so the only variable in this game is Chen Qiang, Chen Qiang is likely to create a miracle again!

Now, this variable has really appeared! Halfway through the race, Chen Qiang was ahead of Forrest Downs.

"Could it be that Forrest is going to lose to Chen Qiang?" The head coach of the U.S. team is about to raise his throat because he knows that the last three columns will be the most important and the key to the outcome of this game.

The 10th hurdle is 14 meters from the finish line, which means that after crossing the 10th hurdle, the athlete will perform a 14-meter flat sprint, which is obviously Chen Qiang's strong point. Because Chen Qiang is the world record holder in the 100-meter dash, no one in this world will run faster than him.

In comparison, although Forrest Downs's flat running speed is not bad, it is still far worse than Chen Qiang. This means that if Forrest Downs can't catch up with Chen Qiang when he crosses the last hurdle, or if both of them cross the last hurdle at the same time, then Chen Qiang will inevitably take the lead in the final 14-second sprint.

Even if Forrest Downs leads in the final hurdle, considering that he will be slower than Chen Qiang in the final 14m sprint, there is no 100% guarantee that Forrest Downs will win the championship, and he may be overtaken by Chen Qiang in the final 14m sprint.

The only scenario for Forrest Downs to win was to cross the final hurdle first, and his lead was strong enough to hold on to the finish.

Thinking of this, the head coach of the U.S. team suddenly felt that it was really difficult for Forrest Towns to win.

"If the 110-meter hurdles are also lost, the American track and field will be defeated by Chen Qiang again alone......" The head coach of the American team couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

……

In the eighth column, Forrest Downs really got faster.

This is an unreasonable speed, there is no technical improvement, if you use scientific methods to analyze, you may not get any results at all.

That's what makes talented athletes unique, when they're under tremendous pressure, when they're desperate to win, they are always able to burst out beyond the norm and always perform incredible.

It's like those NBA superstars who will deliver that seemingly incredible stunner in the final moments of the game. They may not have that magic if it wasn't the most critical moment, but it was in the final moments that they were able to bring out their potential and throw some completely unreasonable winning shots.

The current Forrest Downs is in this state, and he completely relied on his talent to attack Chen Qiang.

In the ninth column, Forrest Downs has indeed fulfilled his talent, and he has actually narrowed the distance between him and Chen Qiang!

A ray of victory shone on Forrest Downs, but unfortunately, this dawn of victory was fleeting, because in the next tenth column, Forrest Downs still did not catch up with Chen Qiang, he was still half a position slower than Chen Qiang.

By the moment the two crossed the 10th hurdle and landed, Forrest Downs realized he had lost the game.

In the final 14-meter sprint, Forrest Downs could not beat Chen Qiang.

Forrest Downs didn't give up, even though he knew that his sprint couldn't match Chen's, but he still rushed forward without hesitation. Even if it's a game that he must lose, he has to fight until the end.

……

The course of the competition is as Chen Qiang expected, and in the middle and late stages, he will rely on cross-era technology to take the lead.

Chen Qiang could feel that victory was in his hands.

However, he still admired Forrest Downs, who used techniques that were several times behind, but were still able to hold on until the seventh hurdle before he began to lose track of his pace.

"Talented athletes, it's really not blown out." Chen Qiang felt the power of "talent", and when Forrest Downs cashed in on his talent, if it weren't for Chen Qiang's skills, which surpassed Forrest Downs by several eras, then today's game result would have been rewritten.

The end line was ahead, Chen Qiang threw off his legs and rushed over without hesitation, and in about a second, he came to the finish line. Then Chen Qiang crossed the line with his chest up and was the first to cross the finish line.

After crossing the finish line, Chen Qiang finally slowed down and stopped, but this time, he did not gasp for breath, but seemed very relaxed.

In this game, Chen Qiang did not consume a lot of physical strength, at least compared with yesterday's 200-meter final, the physical consumption was much smaller.

Forrest Downs put no pressure on Chen Qiang as much as Jesse Owens in yesterday's 200m final. The main reason is that Chen Qiang is too much ahead in the 110-meter hurdles event, the advanced 110-meter hurdles technology in the 21st century, and it is also the most suitable technology for the yellow race, in the thirties, it is enough to make Chen Qiang invincible, even if Forrest Downs completely bursts out of his talent, he cannot overcome the 70-year technical generation gap.

"Fortunately, the physical reserves are not bad, enough for the next triple jump final." Chen Qiang felt that his physical energy was not consumed much, and his mood was much more relaxed.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations!" A voice sounded, and Chen Qiang turned his head to look and saw Forrest Downs coming over.

Although he lost the game, Forrest Downs's face did not show any frustration, but a radiant look, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Qiang were also full of hot colors, as if he couldn't wait to compete with Chen Qiang again.

"Mr. Downs, are you looking for your passion for the 110m hurdles now?" Chen Qiang asked with a smile.

"When I fell behind just now, I really felt that desire to win again, it was a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time!" Forrest Downs let out a long sigh and continued, "Thank you, Chan, for allowing me to rinse up my passion for the sport again. I finally have a new goal! ”

"New target?" Chen Qiang said subconsciously.

"Yes, my new goal is to defeat you!" Forrest Downs continued: "When I get back, I'll train hard, and next time if we have the chance to play again, I'll try to beat you!" ”

Looking at Forrest Downs's excited look, Chen Qiang can understand that this is a kind challenge, and the key to this challenge is not the victory or defeat between each other, but the pursuit of athletes to be higher, faster and stronger, to improve their own strength and surpass their own limits!

It was at this time that the referee announced the results of the players.

Runner-up Forrest Downs ran a time of 13.7 seconds, improving the world record in the 110m hurdles by a full 0.4 seconds! It can be said that he has taken his strength to the extreme.

Chen Qiang's time reached 13.5 seconds! There is no doubt that Chen Qiang has set a world record in the 110-meter hurdles!

Historically, human beings ran to 13.5 seconds in 1950, and ran to 13.4 seconds in 1956, which means that the world record of 110-meter hurdles created by Chen Qiang will remain for 20 years!

Chen Qiang was not surprised by this achievement.

Chen Qiang's 100-meter dash can reach 10 seconds, the long jump can jump 8.17 meters, and the high jump can also jump 2.12 meters.

In later generations, 13.5 seconds on the hand meter is equivalent to 13.74 seconds on electronic timing, which is just the passing line for international athletes.

International-level athletes sound very powerful, but in fact, the 110-meter hurdles international-level athletes can't even participate in the London Olympics. Because the B standard of the 110m hurdles at the London Olympics has reached 13.60 seconds. If Chen Qiang wants to participate in the Olympics in 2012, he will need to be at least 0.14 seconds faster.

In comparison, such as 200 meters, 400 meters, discus and other events, the standard line of international athletes is above the Olympic B standard.

……

"Six gold medals, and six world records...... The most important thing is that these six gold medals should have belonged to us, the United States! The head coach of the U.S. team had a dull expression.

In the six events in which Chen Qiang won the championship, the runners-up happened to be Americans.

100m, 200m and long jump, runner-up was Jesse Owens; In the 110m hurdles, the runner-up was Forrest Downs of the United States; The runner-up in the high jump was Gunny Johnson of the United States; And the runner-up of the discus throw is American Ken Carpenter!

In other words, if there is no Chen Qiang, the gold medals in these six events will be won by the American team. And because of Chen Qiang's appearance, the U.S. team was robbed of six gold medals out of thin air.

Four years ago, Chen Qiang snatched four gold medals from the Americans. (The runner-up in the triple jump is Nambu Chungpyeong)

And four years later, Chen Qiang stepped up and snatched six gold medals from the Americans!

Thinking of this, the head coach of the American team shook his head, he had already expected what kind of headline the domestic media would give.

For example: Chen Qiang defeated American track and field by himself, and a "again" will be added later!
