Chen Qiang was still shocked by the appearance of Eric Lidier, and Chen Qiang had already begun to be introduced on the loudspeaker at Minyuan Stadium.

"Fourth, Chen Qiang, from China!"

Although the people of Tianjin can't understand English, they can still understand the word "Chen Qiang", and after introducing the first three people, only Chen Qiang is left, everyone knows that the next introduction must be Chen Qiang.

The warmest cheers rang out all around, which also pulled Chen Qiang back to reality, and he waved around to thank the audience.

The British referee obviously didn't intend to give Chen Qiang too much time to interact with the audience, and he directly signaled the participating athletes to prepare.

This time, Chen Qiang was on the outermost track, and his relative position was relatively forward, and the other three runners could observe Chen Qiang's start.

Frenchman Blank and Englishman Williamson didn't pay much attention to Chen Qiang's start, but Liddell, after seeing Chen Qiang's inclined start, showed a thoughtful expression.

Against an Olympic champion-level athlete like Lidir, Chen Qiang did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he showed 100% focus.

Lidier is also an athlete who has won the Olympic 200m bronze medal, although it was seven years ago, but there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and now Lidier, even if it is far away from the Olympic Games, but the strength will definitely not be bad.

Lidier was 22 years old when he participated in the Paris Olympics, and he was at the peak of an athlete, and now Lidier is 29 years old, if according to the standards of later generations, 29-year-old track and field athletes, can still run, but he is also in the second half of his career, and he is about to retire.

In the thirties, scientific research related to sports had not yet developed, athletes did not enjoy scientific training, and daily maintenance was not very in place, and track and field athletes in this era would decline rapidly as they grew older, and almost no one could persist until the age of 30. So the 29-year-old Lidier is definitely an elderly track and field athlete.

Chen Qiang didn't know that Lidier still had a few percent of the state left, but the upcoming 200-meter race was just right to try Lidier's depth.

When the gun rang out, Chen Qiang rushed out of the starting line, and then carefully controlled his footsteps, moving along the inner runway line as much as possible.

Chen Qiang can feel that his condition is not very good, and of course it is not bad, he can only be regarded as playing at a normal level.

But Chen Qiang ran very seriously, and he even felt that he had never run so seriously.

Because of seriousness, every step is well controlled, cadence, stride length, foothold position, and sense of rhythm are all very good.

Chen Qiang knew that this was a question, and Lidier had brought pressure to himself, and under pressure, people's spirits would tend to be more focused, and they would also complete some things that they couldn't do on weekdays.

In the real world, he only started running in corners in the winter of last year, which is only seven or eight months, but in the training space, he is practicing 200 meters and 400 meters at the same time, he is also practicing the skills of corner running. Ten times the time bonus in the training space, so if you calculate it, he has probably been practicing corner running for several years.

Chen Qiang's talent is not very top-notch, but more practice time can make up for the lack of talent, so his corner running skills are actually very pure.

Plus he ran seriously today, because in the corners he had already built up the lead.

……

Lidier and Chen Qiang were on adjacent tracks, and soon after the start, Lidier had noticed that Chen Qiang seemed to be a little close to him, and Lidier was even worried about whether the two would collide together.

"He's running along the inside line of the runway!" Lidier suddenly observed this. It is precisely because Chen Qiang is very close to the inside line of the runway that Lidier feels that Chen Qiang is very close, so he will have the idea of whether the two will collide.

"It's true that the inside line is a little closer. However, the risk is also greater, if you are not careful, guessing the runway line, it is a foul and you will be disqualified. In this kind of running, the benefits and risks seem to be a little out of proportion! Lidier said secretly in his heart.

Although Liddell did not calculate how much shorter the inside line of the track would be than the outside line, he felt that the gap should not be too big, and besides, only half of the distance in the 200-meter race was a corner, so running along the inside line of the track would not save too much distance.

In Liddell's view, risking a foul on the line in order to save this insignificant distance is too risky to do so, and the benefit is too small.

Athletes in this era also think the same way, before the development of cornering technology, the overall speed of athletes is also slow, in the era of 200 meters to run 21 seconds away, running 1 meter more or 1 meter less, it does not have much impact on the performance.

However, in the future, when the 200 meters have run within 19 seconds, perhaps a race will be fought for this 1-meter gap.

Of course, Chen Qiang dared to use this seemingly "risky" running style because he knew how to use the corner running technique, in the corner running, the inside of the right forefoot landed on the ground, and the outside of the left forefoot landed on the ground, which itself can control the landing point of the foot.

Chen Qiang's speed gradually increased, and as his speed increased, his body began to tilt, and he was using the centripetal force to make cornering movements.

Lidier glanced in Chen Qiang's direction, and was instantly attracted by Chen Qiang's inclined body.

"He's using the centripetal force to make a corner! What a clever idea! "Lidier understands the role of leaning in seconds.

In the previous competitions with the Japanese and the North China athletes, Chen Qiang ran like this, but whether it was Awu Iwao, Sasaki Yoshizo, or Liu Changchun, they didn't understand the role of Chen Qiang's tilting body.

But Lidier is different, Lidier's knowledge and knowledge are far more extensive than Abu Iwao, Sasaki Yoshizo, Liu Changchun and others.

Liddell is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh in the UK, which is consistently ranked in the top 20 in the world, behind the University of Oxford, the University of London and the University of Cambridge. Liddell's admission to the University of Edinburgh shows that he is also an absolute top student. Although Lidier did not study physics, as a person who studied chemistry, he still had a certain understanding of physics.

And Lidier himself is also an athlete, or the world's top athlete, he can break the world record, which shows that his understanding and understanding of sprinting is also the world's top, plus he has a wealth of high-level competition experience, so Lidier can understand the reason why Chen Qiang leaned his body in the corner at the first time.

In the next second, Lidier was full of puzzlement again: "How did this happen?" How does he control his body? It feels like he's going to fall down at any moment! ”

People who look at formula motorcycles for the first time will probably have the same idea, seeing that the motorcycle is tilting like that when cornering, and even sparks flying out of the ground, they will also worry about whether the rider will fall in the next second.

At this time, Lidier felt that the young Chinese athlete in front of him seemed to have an unknown sense of mystery on his body.

With the skill of running in corners, Chen Qiang was the first to enter the straight from the corner.

This time, he sucked the lesson of the 200m final of the North China Games, and he relaxed his body appropriately without letting his muscles tighten too much.

This time, Chen Qiang did not lose time in the process, he completed the slowness between the curve and the straight perfectly, and began to enter the second half of the sprint.

At the same time, Chen Qiang also turned his head slightly to observe the situation of the other three players.

The French front teeth and the British beard were chasing very closely, and Chen Qiang could feel that they were not much slower than him. On the contrary, Liddell, compared to the front teeth and beard, is slightly slower by half a beat.

"Lidier is the slowest because of age, can't he run!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

However, Chen Qiang also felt the pressure of his front teeth and beard.

Chen Qiang feels that the strength of these two people is far stronger than that of ordinary Chinese athletes, and they should be able to compete with Liu Changchun!

"In this era, Western sports are indeed much stronger than those in East Asia, and Japan's Abu Iwao and Sasaki Yoshizo may not be as good as these two foreign athletes. These two foreigners were only singled out among the expatriates and garrisons in Tianjin, and their strength is so strong, how many expatriates and garrisons are there in Tianjin? In Europe, foreign athletes will definitely be even better! ”

Chen Qiang inevitably felt some emotion in his heart, although Asia in the future is not as good as Europe and the United States in some sports, but there is still the strength to fight, like many skill-based sports, Asians are still ahead of European and American countries.

In this era, no matter what kind of sports, Asia is lagging behind Europe and the United States in all aspects. If you pick a few people from the diaspora and the garrison, you can reach the first-class level in Asia!

What Chen Qiang didn't know was that at this time, the French front teeth and the British beard were also full of shock, they didn't expect that they couldn't catch up with a Chinese!

The French front teeth and the British beards are actually selected from the Tianjin garrison, although they are not professional athletes, but when they are in school, they are also athletes in the school, and they have the strength of professional athletes.

In this era, the comprehensive quality of the soldiers sent by the West to foreign colonies or concessions was very good, even higher than that of the soldiers in Europe.

In fact, the soldiers sent abroad originally represent the face of the country, and a country must not send some crooked melons and cracked dates out, if it sends a group of weak chickens with no ability to go abroad, it will be a shame for the whole country at that time. Just like the peacekeeping troops sent by various countries in the future, not to mention that they are 100% elite divisions, they are much stronger than ordinary big soldiers, and they must be carefully selected.

For example, if the British send a group of garrisons with poor overall quality to Tianjin, then other countries will definitely laugh at the British, and the British Empire cannot afford to lose face. The same is true for other countries, the garrison sent to the Tianjin Concession is too weak, and it will be laughed at by other countries!

Therefore, the front teeth and beard are also considered to be outstanding in their respective troops.

The two leaders of the garrison thought that they could easily beat the Asian athletes, but the reality was that they were already running desperately, but they still fell behind Chen Qiang.

……

After entering the straight, the situation on the field also becomes clearer, and when the previous curve is made, the spectators cannot tell who is first and who is behind, but after entering the straight, the order of the athletes is more obvious.

When the fathers and elders of Tianjin saw that Chen Qiang was ahead, they immediately broke out into a thunderous tsunami-like shout, and everyone in the stands had already stood up, whether they were rich or not, they all ignored their own image and roared loudly to cheer for Chen Qiang.

The entire Minyuan Stadium seemed to have turned into a boiling cauldron at this time, and every piece of land seemed to be trembling!

Guan Wuye is very glad that he didn't bring a bird cage, this time the surrounding Tianjin lords are more enthusiastic than last time, and the voice shouted is even rougher, if you bring your beloved bird over, it is estimated that the bird will be scared to death.

Outside the venue, Shopkeeper Song, who had not bought a ticket, had not yet left, and at this time, hearing the huge cheers that erupted in the Yunyuan Stadium, Shopkeeper Song was becoming more and more anxious, and he wanted to rush in to see what was going on inside.

In the center stand, the British consul Edward and the French consul Batner looked a little embarrassed.

Before that, they thought that Chen Qiang could only run 22.2 seconds, thinking that this race was nine out of ten, and the suspense of the game was only whether the French front teeth could win the championship from the two British players.

Including Lidier, the three foreign athletes lagged behind, and Chen Qiang, who was the least favored before, was in the leading position.

"It's me who underestimated this Chinese too much, and was called 'the fastest in Asia', and really has some strength!" French Consul Batner said secretly in his heart.

Butner had looked down on Chinese athletes at all, and Butner felt that a nation known as the "sick man of East Asia" could be as good at sports.

But now reality has slapped Butner hard!

Beside Batner, British Consul Anderson clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes showed an anxious color.

"Hurry up, hurry up, catch up, overtake that Chinese!" Anderson thought silently.

The first 100 meters of the curve was really a bit unexpected by Butner, among the two British athletes, Luo Hu was slower than Chen Qiang, and even Liddell was so weak that he was in the last position!

"Come on, Lidier, you are the best athlete in the British Empire, you are the pride of the British, how can you lose in such a place? How can you lose to the Chinese! You have to hurry! God, let Lidier run a little faster! Anderson even began to pray.

On the track, Lidtier seemed to hear Anderson's inner monologue, and he really started to accelerate.

Lidier was fast on the straight, and with about 50 meters left before the finish, he overtook the front teeth and beard to get closer to Chen Qiang in front.

Chen Qiang could feel that there were people on the track next to him who were very fast, he turned his head slightly, and the corner of his eyes swept away, and he realized that the person who came was Lidier.

"Lidier has already surpassed the other two athletes!"

Chen Qiang was not surprised by this result.

Lidier is a 400-meter runner, and the explosiveness of the 400-meter runner is definitely not as good as that of the 100-meter runner, but the physical fitness of the 400-meter runner is definitely stronger than that of the 100-meter runner.

If you ask a 100-meter runner to run 200 meters, you will run very fast in the early stage, but if you run in the second half of the race, you may not be able to support your physical strength and slow down.

If you let the 400-meter runners run the 200-meter, they may not be able to run fast in the early stage, but the speed in the second half of the race is definitely guaranteed.

Liddell is obviously like this, after entering the second half of the race, his physical strength is still very abundant, even if he runs to a distance of 150 meters, he is still very fast, and this abundant physical security also allows him to surpass the front teeth and beard, and jump to the second position.

Next, Lidier will challenge Chen Qiang, who finished first, and there are only 50 meters left before the finish line.

……

In the 200-meter event, Chen Qiang is not afraid of Lidier, who only ran a 21.9-second run when he won the Olympic 200m bronze medal when he was at his peak seven years ago. Under normal circumstances, Lidit should not be as good now as it was seven years ago.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Lidier was not in good form seven years ago, or that Lidier has maintained a good competitive form in the past seven years.

However, Chen Qiang feels that he has sprinting skills far beyond this era, even if he has to suffer some losses in terms of physical fitness, he should be faster than Lidier.

In the face of Lidier, who was speeding up to catch up, Chen Qiang did not panic, he continued to take a steady step, maintained his rhythm, and rushed forward.

Lidier obviously doesn't want to lose to Chen Qiang, he has surpassed two opponents, and then surpassing Chen Qiang is the champion, at this time, he has to fight once to say anything.

So Lidier used all his strength, and he wanted to try to surpass Chen Qiang in front.

As a 400-meter runner, Lidier's physical strength is indeed abundant enough, and his kind of acceleration, like a rich man, squandered his physical energy wantonly, and he is not worried about his kidney being overdrawn at all.

However, after only two seconds, Lidier found that it was difficult for Chen Qiang in front of him to be surpassed, and it was even difficult to catch up.

Chen Qiang ran fast, but Lidier could feel that Chen Qiang had not only speed, but also a good sense of rhythm.

"What a strong control!" Lidier suddenly realized this.

A good sprinter can control himself perfectly, even the whole race. He knows when to run and what style of run to get the best results.

"This young man can become the fastest in Asia, and he really has real talent! If I were five years younger, I might be able to compete, but now ......."

At this time, Lidier had already realized that he had lost this game, and in the face of this kind of athlete with strong control of the game, there was no chance of turning the tables at all!
