Chen Qiang's final height was locked at 2.12 meters.

Today's Chen Qiang was a little bit less lucky, and he was also a little bit worse in form, so he failed to create a higher record, but the score of 2.12 meters has reached the goal set by Chen Qiang before the game.

What's more, Chen Qiang conquered these German audiences at the scene.

Breaking five world records in a row, even the most discerning person has to admit the greatness that Chen Qiang has created in the high jump.

And after the competition, there is another link, that is, the German state first receives the Olympic champions.

At that time, it was a normal part of the Olympic Games for the host country's head of state to receive the Olympic champion. Four years ago, the Los Angeles Olympics also arranged for the head of state of the United States to receive the Olympic champions, but because the venue of that Olympic Games was in Los Angeles, and US President Hoover was in Washington, the vice president was the vice president to meet the champion athletes. Chen Qiang also did not meet US President Herbert Hoover.

Today's Berlin Olympics is naturally the process of the head of state receiving the champion, and this is the first day after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the German head of state is watching the games live, so he will meet the champion athletes in a private room.

The all-time Berlin Olympic high jump champion was Gunny Johnson, and because he was a black athlete, the German Führer ignored him when he met him.

Now, the person who was interviewed was replaced by Chen Qiang, which is certainly much better for the German head of state than for the black athletes.

After China signed the Sino-German Barter Trade Contract with Germany, the relationship between the two countries was also half an ally, Germany imported a lot of resources from China, and China also received a lot of weapons from Germany. This is how the German-style equipment divisions of the Central Army were built.

Although the German Führer was an extreme racist, it was much better to meet Chinese than blacks or Jews. Therefore, in the Berlin Olympics in history, the German head of state also received some members of the Chinese delegation. Now meeting Chen Qiang is also a planned thing.

Chen Qiang met a historical celebrity again, but this time Chen Qiang didn't dare to cheekily pull the other party to ask for a group photo, and during the whole meeting process, Chen Qiang also tried his best not to be humble, not arrogant, and not to be polite, that's all.

……

"Look at the newspaper, on the first day of the Olympic Games, Chen Qiang won the high jump championship!"

"In the Berlin Olympics, Chen Qiangqi won the first gold medal for China!"

"Chen Qiang has broken the world record five times in a row!"

The next day, the news of Chen Qiang's victory appeared in domestic newspapers.

When Chen Qiang went to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, there was not much report in the domestic newspapers, and it was not until Chen Qiang won the first gold medal that the news of Chen Qiang appeared in the domestic media, and the people knew that there was such an athlete as Chen Qiang to participate in the Olympic Games.

This time the Berlin Olympics is different, the newspapers have long begun to report on China's participation in the Olympic Games, and the Chinese Olympic delegation went to Berlin this time to make a big fanfare, so the people in China are also more concerned about the Berlin Olympics.

When the news of Chen Qiang's victory came back to China, it immediately caused a sensation, the newspapers were all sold out, and the streets and alleys were also discussing Chen Qiang's Olympic gold medal.

In fact, except for intellectuals, most ordinary people still don't know much about sports, maybe they can't even tell the difference between high jump and long jump, let alone what the Olympics are. But they know that Chen Qiang has won glory for the country again!

The name "Chen Qiang" has gradually become a symbol in the minds of the people, and in this era of the fall of the northeast and the continuous loss of power and humiliation of the country, perhaps only Chen Qiang can make ordinary Chinese see some hope.

……

The Berlin Olympic Village is set up with a double room, and Chen Qiang and Cheng Jinguan live in the same room. Fortunately, Cheng Jinguan didn't snore at night, so Chen Qiang rested well. The next morning, he arrived at the Olympic stadium in Berlin in good spirits.

On the morning of August 3, Chen Qiang will participate in the semi-finals of the 100-meter sprint, and in the afternoon, the final of the 100-meter sprint.

The semi-finals were split into two groups, with Owens and another American player, Frank Wickoff, in the first group, joined by Sweden's Lennart Stramberg and the Netherlands' Tinus Osendup.

Chen Qiang was placed in the second group, along with Ralph Metcalfe of the United States and Erich Borchemeyer, the only remaining player of the German team.

Judging from the distribution of players, the strength of the first group is obviously much stronger than that of the second group.

In the second group, Chen Qiang and Ralph Metcalfe have an absolute advantage. Chen Qiang is the world record holder in the 100m dash, while American Ralph Metcalfe has a personal best of 10.3 seconds. The other four are all a notch weaker.

Considering that Germany's Erich Borchmeyer was placed in Group 1, the intent is clear, to make it as easy as possible for the Germans to qualify.

In the first group, Owens and Frank Wickoff are both strong competitors, Sweden's Nat Stramberg also ran 10.5 seconds in yesterday's rematch, while Dutchman Tinus Osendup is known as the fastest white athlete in the world, he also ran 10.5 seconds in the preliminary round.

In other words, in a group, these four players have the strength to advance to the finals in the afternoon.

But the semi-finals are a 6-to-3 game, which means that one of the four is destined to be eliminated.

There was no suspense in the first group of the race, and after the starting gunshot, Chen Qiang and Ralph Metcalfe were far ahead, and both sides qualified in 10.5 seconds. The only remaining German athlete finished third with a time of 10.7 seconds amid the cheers of the home crowd, securing a place for the German team to qualify.

After all, this is only the semi-finals, and Chen Qiang also has reservations, so he can ensure that he advances to the finals in the afternoon.

However, in the second group of the semi-finals, the athletes are going to fight hard.

In the second group, Jesse Owens should be sure to make the cut, but the rest of the athletes are not easy to say. Frank Wickoff may be an American athlete, but his strength is only about the same as that of two of Europe's top athletes. In particular, the Dutchman Tinus Osendup, who can be hailed as "the fastest white man in the world", must have two brushes.

The race was as everyone had guessed before the race, with Jesse Owens leading the front, followed by Frank Wickoff, Tinus Osendup, and Nat Stramberg.

In the end, the three crossed the finish line almost neck-to-neck, and all three of them finished in 10.5 seconds, but Sweden's Nat Stramberg missed out on qualifying for the final because he was slightly behind by a few centimeters.

The six finalists have also been decided: China's Chen Qiang, the American trio of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe and Frank Wickoff, the world's fastest white Tinus Osendup, and Germany's Erich Borchmeyer.

The final of the 100-meter dash will be held in the afternoon, and Chen Qiang will also have his first head-to-head collision with legendary athlete Jesse Owens!

……

On the afternoon of August 3, in the 100-meter sprint final of the Berlin Olympic Games, the six athletes participating in the final were already standing on the field.

The six contestants were introduced on the radio at the scene.

"First course, Jesse Owens from the United States!"

Owens symbolically waved his hand at the audience, but no one in the audience paid any attention to him. Blacks and Jews were the least popular in Germany at this time, even if he was the legendary athlete Jesse Owens.

Owens didn't care about the audience's cold reaction, on the contrary, he had a different kind of excitement in his heart, because he could finally have a head-to-head duel with Chen Qiang!

"I've been waiting for this day for four years!" Owens glanced to the right, then saw Chen Qiang.

Jesse Owens' parents raised a total of ten children, and he was the youngest of them. Originally sharecroppers in the American South, the family left the apartheid South and moved to Cleveland in the North with the Great African-American Migration.

It was also in Cleveland that Owens met his wife, Minnie, who was only 15 years old and Minnie was only 13 years old, both of whom were still in junior high school. Their date lasted until high school, and in 1932, 17-year-old Minnie gave birth to a daughter to 19-year-old Owens.

That day, Jesse Owens was waiting at the door of the delivery room, anxiously waiting for the birth of her daughter.

A black guy next to him saw that young Jesse Owens was a first-time dad, so he handed Owens a piece of newspaper and told him to read it for a while and not be so nervous.

It was also in that newspaper that Jesse Owens saw Chen Qiang's name for the first time, and he still remembered that it was an old newspaper that had expired for two days, and the front page of that newspaper was printed with a photo of Chen Qiang standing on the podium, along with a line of text: Chinese flyer broke the 100-meter world record!

From that moment on, Chen Qiang's name entered Jesse Owens' field of vision, and from that moment on, Jesse Owens had a new goal: to defeat Chen Qiang and break the world record!

It's not just for the honor, it's because he's about to become a father.

What does a 19-year-old black young man, who has not yet graduated from school but has become a father, to support his children? Do you continue to deliver, load, or do odd jobs?

Owens wanted to be a good father, he wanted to create a better life for his children, he wanted a decent job, but in America at the time, it was difficult for a black person to find a decent job. The kind of life of living in a villa, driving a car and having a dog has nothing to do with black people.

The only thing Jesse Owens could think of was to become a great athlete so that he could get money, status, fame, or at least not have to work in a steel mill like his father and brother for a pittance salary.

Then, when Chen Qiang's achievements in the Los Angeles Olympics were known to more and more people, Jesse Owens's idea of defeating Chen Qiang became more and more strong and determined!

Chen Qiang has single-handedly overturned several of the strongest events in American track and field, and if he can defeat Chen Qiang, he will become a hero of the United States!

So Jesse Owens began to practice hard, and he practiced sprinting and long jump, which is the strongest event in the United States, and it is also the strongest event for Chen Qiang, what Jesse Owens wants to do is to defeat Chen Qiang in this strongest event and regain honor for the United States! This is the only way that Jesse Owens can make a name for himself.

……

The introduction of athletes continues.

"Second, Chen Qiang from China!"

Chen Qiang is in the second lane, and I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the organizer or a coincidence, he happened to be adjacent to Jesse Owens, one first, one second.

And when Chen Qiang's name was shouted on the radio, the audience at the scene also sent warm applause.

Among these spectators, many of them have watched yesterday's high jump competition, and have also witnessed Chen Qiang breaking the world record in the high jump five times in a row, and they have been conquered by Chen Qiang's performance, and they are willing to send encouraging applause to Chen Qiang.

Unconsciously, Chen Qiang has countless fans in Berlin.

Chen Qiang waved his hand to the surrounding stands, and then he involuntarily looked at Jesse Owens beside him.

Chen Qiang knows that this is an opponent that he will need to do his best to overcome.

Jesse Owens' best time in the 100m dash in history is 10.2 seconds, and in yesterday's rematch, Jesse Owens also ran this time. But according to Chen Qiang's judgment, this 10.2 seconds is definitely not Jesse Owens' extreme performance, and in his usual practice, Jesse Owens can definitely run faster.

The manual timing of 10.2 seconds is equivalent to the electronic timing of 10.44 seconds, and most of the future national first-class athletes will be able to run this result. Jesse Owens has been hailed as the greatest track and field athlete of the twentieth century, and it is absolutely impossible to have only this level.

"Maybe I can't beat Jesse Owens in a 10.1 second, I'm going to run for 10 seconds." Chen Qiang took a deep breath and continued in his heart: "No matter what, you must go all out today!" ”

The third athlete was introduced at the scene, which was none other than Germany's Erich Borchmeyer.

The appearance of the host player made the audience boil. Although the audience also knew that Erich Borhemeyer's quality was the worst in the final, and he could run to the bottom of the race, people still hoped for a miracle.

In the fourth lane is the Dutchman's Tinus Osendup, the fastest white man in the world who is also slightly famous in Germany, and there are many people cheering him on.

The two American players in lane 5 and lane 6 were in a state of no one's attention, and when they were introduced, almost no one was faulty, let alone cheered, and the absence of boos was enough to give face.

The two American athletes also shook their heads helplessly, they had been mentally prepared before they came, as black athletes, they would inevitably be targeted and discriminated against in Germany.

……

Six runners stood on the starting line, waiting for the starter to give instructions to start.

The starter pulled the trigger, and after a gunshot, Chen Qiang made an off-string arrow and rushed out of the starting line.

After a powerful acceleration, Chen Qiang quickly came to a position of twenty meters, and at this time, Chen Qiang was surprised to find that Jesse Owens was on a par with him!

Chen Qiang has the most advanced squat start technique, so he has always had the fastest start, and he has always been able to get ahead in the starting stages.

But today, this is not the case, Jesse Owens' starting speed is not inferior to Chen Qiang.

At this time, Jesse Owens was also very surprised.

Jesse Owens is also very confident in his start, and at least among American athletes, no one can match him. In previous races, he was always able to take the lead at the start.

However, in today's race, Chen Qiang's starting speed is not inferior to Jesse Owens, and Jesse Owens vaguely feels that Chen Qiang's start is slightly faster than himself.

Chen Qiang's start relied on advanced starting technology, while Jesse Owens' start relied on perverted physical fitness. In terms of starting technique, no one in the world can beat Chen Qiang, but in terms of physical fitness, there is no one in the world who can compare to Jesse Owens.

In this respect, Jesse Owens is a true sprinter who can compete with Chen's nearly century-long lead in starting skills by relying only on his physical fitness. If Jesse Owens has Chen Qiang's skills, running under 10 seconds is sparse and commonplace.

In the blink of an eye, both of them increased their speed to the extreme, and with the naked eye, the two were almost neck-to-neck, and it was impossible to tell who was ahead and who was behind.

The other four players were all left behind by Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens, and it was clear that the champion was going to be born between the two of them!

In the box in the main stand, the German Führer also looked at the track with a nervous face, not really concerned about the progress of the game, but worried that Jesse Owens would receive him after winning the race. The German Führer did not want to shake hands with a black man.

……

On the track, Chen Qiang has sensed that Jesse Owens is fast, and even if he has played to the extreme, he still can't take the lead on Jesse Owens.

"Owens' sprinting skills can only be considered good, but his physical fitness is really perverted enough, if I want to win him, it depends on the last 20 meters!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

In the 100-meter sprint, Chen Qiang relies on technique, and he firmly believes that an athlete with a technical flow of his own skills can maintain his speed until the end.

And Jesse Owens, who walks the body flow, can maintain this speed until the end, it is difficult to say.

Because people are always tired, an athlete like Owens, who relies on his body to support his speed, will definitely not be able to continue to maintain his original speed once his physical fitness declines. And Chen Qiang, an athlete who relies on technology to support speed, does not need to worry about this.

It's like in basketball, those muscle sticks or spring legs that rely on physical fitness to eat, as soon as they pass their peak age, their condition will decline rapidly, and even soon they will be reduced to no ball to play. And that kind of skilled pitcher or point guard, even if he is thirty-five or sixteen years old, can still go to a championship team to hug his thighs.

So now Chen Qiang is betting, he bets that the continuity of the physical flow is not as good as the technical flow, and he bets that Jesse Owens will slow down due to the decline in physical fitness in the last 20 meters, and that is his chance to surpass Jesse Owens!

……

50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......

The two are still neck and neck, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Jesse Owens was a little anxious in his heart, and this situation was something he didn't expect. In previous races, he had already left his opponent behind when he reached the 70-meter distance, but Chen Qiang was still able to keep up with him.

What's more, Chen Qiang's speed has not slowed down in the slightest.

"Chen Qiang is more powerful than I imagined!" Jesse Owens said in his heart, but he was still full of confidence at this time, and he felt that he could win.

At this moment, Jesse Owens remembered his four-year-old daughter again.

"Ggaria, Dad will definitely win the Olympic gold medal!"

At this time, the two runners finally reached the 80 meters.

The next moment, Jesse Owens suddenly felt that Chen Qiang seemed to be slightly ahead of him.

"Is it a delusion?" Jesse Owens was slightly startled.

This kind of slight lead may not be visible to others, but a top athlete like Jesse Owens is much sharper than the average person, so he noticed it immediately.

Jesse Owens suddenly realized that he had to speed up, so he started to make one final effort.

From the time Jesse Owens found himself behind to the time he started to exert his strength, it was only half a second that passed. For ordinary people, half a second is not enough time for even a god, but as the world's top sprinter, half a second is enough time for him to make a judgment and react.

Jesse Owens exerted his strength, but he found that the distance between Chen Qiang and him was not narrowed, but a little bigger!

"Chen Qiang has become faster? No, it's not that Chen Qiang has become faster, but that I have become slower! Jesse Owens has realized that.

In the final 20 meters, Jesse Owens will indeed be a little slower, and even if he has extremely perverted physical fitness, he will not be able to maintain his peak speed until the last 20 meters.

It's just that in previous races, Jesse Owens had already taken the lead in the last 20 meters, and even if Jesse Owens was a little slower in the last 20 meters, it would be faster than other athletes.

Unfortunately, today he met a very strong athlete who was able to maintain peak speed in the last 20 meters.

In fact, in the last 20 meters, Jesse Owens is only a little slower than Chen Qiang, but this is the world's top competition after all.

"Oops, going to lose! What am I going to do? Jesse Owens' heart grew more and more anxious.

However, there are less than 10 meters left before the finish line, and the athlete can run the first 10 meters in less than 1 second, and even Jesse Owens has no time to take action to deal with it!

……

"Whoosh!" Chen Qiang made a light and shadow and crossed the finish line.

is also a shadow of light, as well as Jesse Owens.

"Who won?" Someone asked.

"That Chinese won!" Someone immediately replied.

In the stands, those spectators who were parallel to the finish line were the first to distinguish that Chen Qiang had crossed the finish line earlier.

The next moment, cheers rang out from all directions, and these German audiences, who had been conquered by Chen Qiang, did not hesitate to send their congratulations to Chen Qiang.

In the box on the rostrum, the German head of state also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Almost let that black man win!" The German Führer said to himself, a look of joy flashing across his face.

However, in the next second, his face showed a dissatisfied color.

"Why aren't we Germans the champions!"

……

Jesse Owens, who crossed the finish line, was still in a state of sleepwalking, and he couldn't accept that he had lost the race for the time being.

"Jesse, don't care, he's Chen Qiang after all!" Ralph Metcalfe stepped forward to comfort Owens.

"Just because he is Chen Qiang, I wanted to defeat him, but I lost!" Owens clenched his fists unwillingly.

"Don't be discouraged, this is just your first fight with him, and there are still 200 meters to go, and there is a long jump! I know you're better in the 200m than in the 100m, and you can run under 21 seconds. There is also the long jump, you are the world record holder, you can jump 8.13 meters, while Chen Qiang can only jump 8.01 meters. Ralph Metcalfe then comforted.

Jesse Owens has the ability to run under 21 seconds in the 200m event, and Chen Qiang's 200m world record is exactly 21 seconds, so in this regard, Jesse Owens has the ability to break Chen Qiang's world record.

In the long jump, Jesse Owens jumped 8.13m in the competition in May, breaking the world record of 8.01m held by Chen Qiang at that time. Jesse Owens also has an advantage in this regard.

As soon as Ralph Metcalfe reminded him, Jesse Owensu instantly came back to life with full blood, and the previous depression was swept away.

"Ralph, you're right, the game has just begun, this is just our first competition, the next 200 meters and long jump, I will definitely be able to beat Chen Qiang!" Jesse Owens spoke.

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

"First lane, 10 seconds 1!"

All eyes were on Jesse Owens, and many looked at him with an incredulous look.

The previous world record was 10.2 seconds set by Chen Qiang, and Jesse Owens also ran the same time, but did not break this world record. In the race just now, Jesse Owens has successfully broken the world record of 10.2 seconds.

It's a pity that Jesse Owens is second, so before he broke the world record, Chen Qiang took the lead in raising the world record a notch.

Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Qiang again, and they were looking forward to Chen Qiang's achievements.

The referee also glanced up at Chen Qiang, and announced: "The second way, 10 seconds!" ”

People looked at the referee, as if waiting for him to say the next number, but the referee closed his mouth and said no more.

The scene was quiet for a full three seconds.

"Boom la la ......"

Immediately, there was a chaotic discussion around.

"How many seconds is 10 seconds? How many seconds did that Chinese run? I don't seem to hear clearly. ”

"I heard the referee say, 10 seconds!"

"I know it's 10 seconds, but the key is 10 seconds?"

"That's 10 seconds! The referee said it for 10 seconds! ”

"Could it be that he ran for 10 seconds?"

"10 seconds? Oh my God, a human can run a 100-meter dash for 10 seconds! ”

"The 10 mark, someone finally reached the 10 second mark today!"

At this moment, the audience seemed to have forgotten to cheer and applaud, and almost everyone was routinely playing the 10-second score!

In the 100-meter sprint final of the Berlin Olympics, Chen Qiang once again broke the world record, and improved the human 100-meter sprint performance to the 10-second mark!
