Chen Qiang was the first to cross the finish line, followed by Lidier, and the gap between the two was not big, it should be less than 0.2 seconds. The front teeth and beard then crossed the finish line.

"Won, Chen Qiang won again, this time it won the foreigners!"

The Tianjin elders in the surrounding stands were boiling again.

The last time it was also at this venue, Chen Qiang defeated two Japanese athletes. But winning the Orientals is completely different from winning the Westerners. Although Japan is also a great power, it is a rising star after all, and it cannot be compared with the old powers such as Britain and France.

At least in that era, both Chinese and foreigners would feel that Western countries such as Britain and France had a much higher status than Japan, so the athletes who defeated Britain and France were more proud than the Japanese athletes.

In the main stand, the British consul Edward leaned back on his seat in some despair, looking at the track in front of him with empty eyes.

The French consul Batner was also silent for a long time, as if he could not accept what was happening in front of him.

The original intention of this World Games was to suppress Tianjin and indeed gradually spread national sentiment and weaken the national self-confidence of the Chinese, but from the moment Chen Qiang won the 200 meters, the British and French plans had already failed.

A champion, although does not mean that China's sports are stronger than Britain and France, but at least it represents that China has gained something in this World Games, for a "weak country", it is completely satisfying to have a champion as a harvest, and it is enough to satisfy the people of Tianjin.

For example, the future Chinese men's football team does not require them to be able to win the Hercules Cup, as long as they can enter the finals of the World Cup, they will be regarded as heroes by the people of the whole country. Even if he didn't score a goal or win a game in the World Cup, and was scolded and kicked by the foreign media, in the hearts of the Chinese people, he was already very satisfied to be able to enter the World Cup, and he could still get the triumphant treatment of a hero when he returned home.

At this moment, Chen Qiang, in the eyes of the Tianjin people in the stands, is indeed a hero.

After the referee counts the results, he begins to announce the results of the match.

"First lane, 22 seconds 1!"

"The second lane, 22 seconds 1!"

The front teeth and beard will have the same results, but when crossing the finish line, the front teeth will obviously be faster than the beard, so in the final ranking, the front teeth will be the third and the beard will be the fourth.

"The third lane, 21.9 seconds!" The referee continued.

Hearing this, Lidier smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied with the result.

Seven years ago, when Lidier won the Olympic bronze medal, the result was also 21.9 seconds, and now seven years later, Lidier can still run 21.9 seconds, in addition to the 200-meter technical improvement, it also shows that Lidier's personal state is still very good.

Chen Qiang also looked at Lidier with admiration, and now Lidier is still running fast, with a score of 21.9 seconds, although it is not enough to win the bronze medal in the Olympic Games, but it can also meet the Olympic participation standards.

Of course, it is impossible for Lidier to participate in the Olympics, and the British athletes are full of talent, and they are much faster than Liditier, and it is impossible to let Liddell, an old fellow, go to the Olympics.

"Fourth ......" The referee subconsciously raised his head and looked at Chen Qiang, and then announced: "21 seconds 7!" ”

"Oh, oh, oh......" An exclamation sounded in the main stands, obviously surprised by Chen Qiang's achievement.

However, there was not much reaction from the other stands, because the referee was an Englishman and he was announcing the results in English, and the Chinese audience certainly did not understand and did not know what the referee said.

Most of the people sitting in the main stand are foreigners, and they can understand English, which is why they let out exclamations.

Although most of the Chinese audience did not understand the foreign language, they must have curiosity, and they began to ask each other what the referee had said, which made those foreign audiences sigh.

"What is the foreign referee talking about?" Someone asked.

A person who understands English explained: "The foreign referee said that Chen Qiang ran 21.7 seconds!" ”

"21.7 seconds, isn't that fast?" The man asked again.

"It should be soon, otherwise the foreigners wouldn't be shouting."

The audience doesn't know what the concept of seconds 7 is, anyway, it is right to describe it as "soon".

……

When Chen Qiang heard the result of 21.7 seconds, the joy in his eyes also flashed.

For Chen Qiang, 21.7 seconds is also a very good result, even 0.1 seconds faster than Chen Qiang expected.

During the North China Games, Chen Qiang made a mistake when entering the straight in the corner, and lost about 0.2 seconds, when Chen Qiang's time was 22 seconds. This time in the World Games, Chen Qiang did not make a mistake, so Chen Qiang felt that his time should be 21.8 seconds.

In fact, Chen Qiang's speed is even faster. 21.7 seconds and 21.8 seconds, although the difference is only 0.1 seconds, but in the sport of sprinting, the improvement of 0.1 seconds is enough to make athletes ecstatic.

And at that time, the world record of 200 meters was only 21.6 seconds, which means that Chen Qiang was only 0.1 seconds away from the world record of 200 meters.

Moreover, the 21.7 seconds result is also a new 200-meter Asian record, and the Japanese in this era are also outside the 200-meter record, and if they can run within 22 seconds, they are the top athletes in Asia.

Unconsciously, Chen Qiang broke another Asian record in the 200-meter dash, and he is now not only the Asian record holder in the 100-meter dash, but also the Asian record holder in the 200-meter dash.

"Congratulations! Awesome run! At 21.7 seconds, you're now one step away from the world record! A voice sounded from the side, and it was still in Chinese.

Chen Qiang turned his head to look and saw that Lidier had come to his side.

Lidier grew up in Tianjin, and now works as a teacher in Tianjin, so he naturally speaks fluent Chinese.

At this time, Lidier did not appear depressed because of losing to Chen Qiang, but stepped forward to congratulate Chen Qiang.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lidtier." Chen Qiang responded.

"Do you know me?" Liddell asked in some surprise.

"I've heard about your deeds at the Paris Olympics. You are a great athlete who stands by his faith! Chen Qiang replied.

"The Paris Olympics, that was a long time ago. I didn't expect that in the far east, there were still people who knew about it. Liddell had a look of remembrance on his face.

At the Paris Olympics that year, Lidier gave up the 100-meter dash in order to worship, which was a sign of faithfulness to the faith in Western values. Later, Lidier won the gold medal in the 400m race and broke the world record, which to Westerners saw as more like a reward for faithfulness and a blessing from God.

As a result, Lidier's deeds are very famous in the West, especially those who believe in God, and they regard Lidir as an idol. This is also one of the reasons why Lidier's deeds were later adapted into "Chariots of Fire" and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

However, the values of the East are different from those of the West, and Chinese culture has always advocated collectivism, so Chinese culture attaches great importance to the sense of collective honor.

As the holder of the 400m world record, Lidier received a lot of respect, but most Chinese were not interested in Lidier's faithfulness, and all the Chinese saw was Lidier's championship honor.

But for Liddell, his faith is more important than the 400m world record.

So when Chen Qiang praised Lidier for "sticking to his faith", he instantly gained Lidier's favor, and in Lidier's opinion, this is the best praise for him.

So the two stepped aside and began to talk.

……

In the main stand, the French consul Batner asked: "Mr. Edward, although we lost in the 200-meter sprint, we should be able to win back in the 400-meter event, right?" ”

"Of course, we're Lydir!" The British consul looked towards the track, but found that Lidier was chatting with Chen Qiang, and it seemed that they had a common language.

"Lidier, this guy, why did he talk to his opponent, and he seemed to have a good time!" The British consul Edward witnessed all this, and a feeling of depression arose in his heart.

The French consul next to him, Batner, continued: "Mr. Edward, that Chinese is indeed very powerful, and I am really worried that the athletes of your country will lose to that Chinese." ”

In the 400m event, the French team is not very good, so they did not send athletes to participate, except for the strong one, the other three athletes are British. In other words, in the next 400-meter sprint, Chen Qiang faced three British athletes alone.

"This Gallic chicken is actually questioning whether the athletes of our British Empire will be comparable to a Chinese!" Edward was dissatisfied with Butner.

I saw Edward snort coldly and said: "Mr. Batner, you can rest assured, in the 400-meter event, our British Empire will definitely not lose!" We have Lidir, who is the world record holder in the 400m! ”

"I don't doubt Lidier's strength, but in the 200m race, didn't Lidier also lose to the Chinese? In case, I mean in case, in the 400m event, Lidier also loses......"

"No whatever!" Edward didn't let Butner continue, he continued: "After all, the 200m is not Lidier's main event, his best is the 400m, I believe that Liddell will have a good performance in the event he is best at, he will not lose!" ”

Butner had a mysterious smile on his face, as if he wanted to see the British athletes lose the game and make a fool of themselves, but he still said: "Then I wish the British athletes a victory!" ”

……

The 400m is a weakness for Chen Qiang now.

In the 400-meter race of the North China Games, although Chen Qiang beat other competitors and easily won the championship, it was mainly because the strength of the opponent was too vegetable. Even Liu Changchun can't run 400 meters, and other players run completely by instinct, in the face of such an opponent, it is natural for Chen Qiang to win a big victory.

But today's World Games is different, Chen Qiang's opponents are foreigners, and these foreigners will definitely not run 400 meters only by instinct like Chinese athletes, they know 400 meters technology. Even if the 400-meter skills mastered by foreign athletes are far inferior to Chen Qiang, they are much more difficult to deal with.

What's more, there is also an Eric Liddell among the opponents, who is the holder of the 400m world record!

"47.6 seconds!" Chen Qiang remembered the 400m world record held by Lidier, and he had a headache.

"If Liddell can still run 47.6 seconds, I can just throw in the towel." Chen Qiang let out a long sigh.

In fact, it doesn't take 47.6 seconds, even if Lidier runs within 50 seconds, it is difficult for Chen Qiang to win now.

The 400-meter dash is physically demanding, but also technical. To be precise, the 400 meters require the cooperation of the body and the technique.

Running a 400-meter sprint, if you only have excellent physical fitness, no skills, and no physical fitness distribution, you will definitely not be able to run well. In the same way, if you have great technology, you have a very advanced physical distribution plan, but you don't have a good enough body to perform this technique, and you will not do well.

The current Chen Qiang belongs to the latter, his body is still growing, and he can't compare with adults like Lidier, so Chen Qiang's body can't adapt to the more difficult physical allocation scheme, which also affects his performance in the 400m event.

When Chen Qiang is stronger, he will have more room for physical allocation, and the 400m performance will definitely improve significantly.

Chen Qiang also knows his shortcomings, and now, even if he is in excellent condition, he may not be able to run within 50 seconds.

"That's it for me, thank God for being able to run 50 seconds, it's all about looking at Liddell, I don't know how fast he can run now."

Chen Qiang thought of the 200-meter race just now, Lidier ran a time of 21.9 seconds, judging from this result, the current Lidier is in good shape.

"Maybe in the 400m event, I really can't beat Lidir, but I can't easily admit defeat, how do I know if I can win without trying? There are so many Tianjin fathers around me who are looking at me, even if he is the world record holder in the 400m, I will challenge him! World records are meant to be broken! ”

Thinking of this, Chen Qiang's eyes were full of determination, and he stood on the starting line and began to prepare for the start.

……

Chen Qiang squatted down and took a starting position.

A solemn breath involuntarily hit Chen Qiang's heart, he was a little nervous, a little irritable, and even a feeling of worry, as if his heart was being burned.

Chen Qiang knows that this is the toughest competition he has faced since becoming an athlete!

Lidier is the world record holder and the 400m is his forte, once unprecedentedly strong!

And 400 meters is precisely where Chen Qiang is weakest.

Tian Ji raced horses, and Chen Qiang used an inferior horse against Lidier's superior horse.

"Inferior horses have to fight too!" Chen Qiang silently cheered himself up.

The next moment, the starting gun rang out, and Chen Qiang rushed out of the starting line.

The 400-meter race has officially begun!
