Chapter 189: Chen Qiang, who has become stronger

220 yards is equivalent to 201 meters, and in the 220-yard event, Jesse Owens can run a world record of 20.3 seconds, which is an incredible result, and Chen Qiang even feels that this result is a little unreal.

In the 200-meter dash, there was also a time of 20.3 seconds, which was set by American Henry Carr in 1963.

If Jesse Owens' 201m could really run 20.3 seconds, the 200-meter world record wouldn't have been improved to 20.3 seconds until 1963. With Owens' level of 20.3 seconds, it's easy to run a casual 20.5 seconds and break the world record.

Therefore, Chen Qiangqi believes that the 220 yards run by Jesse Owens is definitely not a standard track, and may even be a 220-yard straight track. Because there are no corners, the whole process is a straight sprint, so there is a time of 20.3 seconds.

If you think about it, it's also possible, because there were many athletics standards at the time, such as the 200-yard or 220-yard straight-line event, which existed in the thirties. As of 1976, the IAAF also had a record of 200 meters in a straight line.

For example, the first two National Games in old China were all based on the code system, taking the second National Games of old China as an example, the venue was held at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and the sprint was also held on the straight road in front of the Temple of Heaven.

If this is calculated, Jesse Owens' 220-yard run is very likely to run a straight.

There is no sprint event of 220 yards in the future, so Chen Qiang does not know much about the sport of 220 yards. Even the IAAF doesn't record the 200-meter straight run, and Chen Qiang can't grasp much confidence in this event. Chen Qiang can only make inferences based on his results, for example, Jesse Owens' 100-meter dash is 10.2 seconds, so 220 yards run 20.3 seconds, which should be a normal result.

That doesn't mean Jesse Owens' corners are going to be bad, though. At the historic Berlin Olympics, Jesse Owens broke the world record in the 200m with a time of 20.7 seconds. A 200m world record holder, no matter how bad the cornering ability is, it is the world's top level.

Even if it is calculated according to 20.7 seconds, Jesse Owens will break Chen Qiang's world record of 21 seconds, so if Chen Qiang wants to beat Jesse Owens, he will need to run at least 21.6 seconds.

Considering the uncertainty of the race, 21.6 seconds may not be safe. After all, in the history of the Berlin Olympics, Jesse Owens was unbeatable in the 200m final and did not meet a competitor. Now that there is one more Chen Qiang, maybe Jesse Owens will feel the pressure of Chen Qiang and will run faster. After all, if you play against a master, it's easy to create better results.

……

The 200m final was the highlight of the day, but the absence of German athletes meant that the crowd was not very enthusiastic, but rather an appreciative mindset to watch the final.

Of the six finalists, the first is the "world's fastest white man" Tinus Osendup of the Netherlands, who also reached the final in the previous 100-meter sprint, but against Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens, the world's fastest white man did not win a medal.

Now in the 200m final, Tinus Osendup still has little hope, Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens are still locked in the top two, and the remaining three athletes are also extraordinary.

Chen Qiang was placed in the second lane, while Jesse Owens was in the third lane, and the two were still next to each other, but they changed positions compared to the 100-meter sprint final. In the 100-meter sprint final, Jesse Owens was on the inside and Chen Qiang was on the outside, and now Chen Qiang is on the inside and Jesse Owens is on the outside.

In the 200-meter sprint, the second and third lanes belong to the golden track, especially this is a race with six people, and the arc of the track is smaller, so Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens are in an absolutely good position. The organizer's arrangement is obviously to allow the two people to meet each other in a short manner and bring a wonderful game.

The fourth lane is another American player, Mike Robinson. In the semi-finals of the 200m, he already ran a good time of 21.1 seconds, showing his outstanding strength. Chen Qiang is not surprised by this, Mike Robinson is a black athlete in the United States, and he is from a family of athletes, so it is normal for him to have strength.

In the fifth lane is Switzerland's Paulo Enni, who had previously competed in the 100m but failed to make it to the final.

The sixth lane is the Canadian Lee Orr. This Canadian, who grew up in the United States, this is his first time in Europe, and it is also the first time he has come to Berlin, and nine years later, Lee Orr will come to Berlin again, but at that time, he will not need to apply for a visa, not because the German team is visa-free in Canada, but because Germany surrendered, and Lee Orr entered Berlin in a tank as an Allied army.

……

Jesse Owens appears to be excited, and this excitement stems mainly from his confidence in his own strength.

Jesse Owens is better at running the 200m than the 100m dash, he has a good body flexibility, which makes it easier for him to control his body in the corners, and his excellent explosiveness allows him to have the world's top speed.

The 200m world record is 21 seconds held by Chen Qiang, and Jesse Owens' best time is 20.5 seconds on weekdays, although that is just practice and there is a certain element of luck, but it is a full 0.5 seconds faster than Chen Qiang's world record.

For Jesse Owens, running under 21 seconds is not difficult, it is simply a daily occurrence, so he has the ability to break Chen Qiang's world record. An athlete who surpasses world records is a matter of routine, and will naturally be confident in himself.

"I lost to you in the 100m race the day before yesterday, and this time in the 200m, I won't lose again!" Jesse Owens said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Jesse Owens couldn't help but look at Chen Qiang beside him, and Chen Qiang also looked at Jesse Owens at this time. When the two looked at each other, they smiled at each other. Although the two of them are opponents of each other, they are both world-class athletes, and the two have a special feeling of heroes cherishing heroes.

At this time, Chen Qiang's mood was also very excited, firstly because he had just won the Olympic gold medal in the discus, and secondly, because he was about to compete with Jesse Owens again.

In sprinting, it is a good thing for athletes to be emotionally excited, sprinting is inherently a sport of speed and passion, and emotional excitement often makes athletes perform better.

After the broadcast on the scene introduced the six runners one after another, the athletes then bowed down to prepare for the start.

After a while, all six runners were ready to start, and the starter felt that the time was almost up, so he gave instructions before the start.

“SET!” The whole stadium fell silent as soon as the starter gave the order, and the six runners waited intently for the start of the gun.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and all six runners rushed out of the starting line at the same time.

Chen Qiang was very focused, he didn't pay attention to the situation of other athletes, but put all his attention on his own track.

This time, Chen Qiang took the technique of running the corners to the extreme, he had to control his feet as much as possible, close to the left track line in order to run a shorter distance, and at the same time he also had to make sure that his feet did not foul because he stepped on the line.

This is the final of the Olympic Games, and the opponent has a master like Jesse Owens, Chen Qiang must not be sloppy in every step, and he must save the running distance as much as possible.

As the speed increased, the inclination of Chen Qiang's body became larger and larger, and if he looked in the direction he ran, he would even worry about whether Chen Qiang would fall.

And this also shows that Chen Qiang's speed is really fast, because in the curve running, the faster the speed, the greater the centripetal force that needs to be opposed, and the greater the amplitude of the body tilt.

Chen Qiang ran rapidly in the corner, and the other four runners were not far behind, especially the American runners, who were also very fast, not only Jesse Owens, but also another American athlete, Mike Robinson, was much faster than the others, and they also used techniques similar to Chen Qiang's running in the corner.

Four years ago at the Los Angeles Olympics, Chen Qiang won the 200-meter championship and broke the world record using more advanced cornering techniques, and since then, the U.S. track and field coach has been studying Chen's technique.

Although there was no slow motion of the camera in that era, and there was no computer analysis, and people did not know much about sports science, after all, it was four years, even if they couldn't understand Chen Qiang's technique, they could learn some skills purely by imitating Chen Qiang's movements.

Moreover, the United States is the most developed country in sports, there are so many athletes, there will always be a few talented people, through continuous imitation and thinking, slowly master the technical essentials of Chen Qiang's curve running.

Therefore, today's American athletes have also learned some corner running skills from Chen Qiang, and applied them to the Berlin Olympics.

The strength of American athletes has increased, which will of course cause some problems for Chen Qiang. If it was Chen Qiang four years ago, he might really not be able to cope with it. But now Chen Qiang is no longer what it used to be, after four years of growth, in addition to his body is stronger, his cornering skills are also much more mature than four years ago.

For any athlete, after four years of professional training, the technical aspect will be more perfect, not to mention that Chen Qiang also has a training space, which can provide ten times the time difference, even if Chen Qiang has to train in multiple events at the same time, but under ten times the time, there is still a lot of time allocated to the 200-meter event, it is no exaggeration or, the outside world has passed four years, and Chen Qiang's training space, the time allocated to the 200-meter is at least ten years.

It is difficult for any athlete who has been training in his professional program for ten years to become proficient!

What's more, what Chen Qiang has received is still training beyond this era, and his training effect is much better than that of athletes in this era.

The current situation is that although American athletes have become stronger than they were four years ago, Chen Qiang is also stronger than four years ago, and the magnitude of enhancement is even more.

So in the corner, Chen Qiang and other athletes have opened up the gap, except for Jesse Owens, the other four players are difficult to keep up with Chen Qiang's pace.

……

American athlete Mike Robinson boosted his speed to the extreme, but he found that his speed was still not as fast as Jesse Owens on the adjacent track!

"Jesse can run so fast!" Mike Robinson couldn't help but glance at Jesse Owens on the left track, and at the same time, he saw Chen Qiang out of the corner of his eye.

"Chen Qiang is faster than Jesse!" Mike Robinson was shocked.

As one of the world's top athletes, Mike Robinson is still very sensitive to speed, even if he doesn't pass through the distance difference, he can feel how fast or slow it is.

"Jesse is already faster than me, that Chen Qiang is even faster than Jesse, how is this possible!" Mike Robinson couldn't even believe his eyes.

In the domestic races in the United States, Mike Robinson once ran a good time of 21.1 seconds. When practicing, Mike Robinson once ran into the 21-second mark, which means that if he is in better shape and lucky, Mike Robinson has the ability to break Chen Qiang's world record of 21 seconds.

Since Mike Robinson has the strength to break the world record, he naturally has the ambition to challenge Chen Qiang. He originally thought that even if Chen Qiang improved compared to four years ago, his strength should be similar to his own, and in the face of Chen Qiang, he would have a chance to win.

However, the reality in the game is not the case, Jesse Owens is faster than Mike Robinson, and Chen Qiang is faster than Jesse Owens, so doesn't that mean that Chen Qiang is two notches higher than Mike Robinson!

Thinking of this, Mike Robinson's heart suddenly felt like ashes, and the confidence that originally challenged Chen Qiang disappeared without a trace.

On the track, Mike Robinson was indeed thrown away by Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens, and by the end of the corner and entering the straight, Mike Robinson was already more than two meters behind.

Also depressed is the "fastest white man in the world" Tinus Osendup, as the fastest white athlete in the world, he can only rank fourth, and in front of him is a yellow race and two blacks, doesn't that mean that white people are the weakest!

……

Halfway through the race, the athletes moved from the corners to the straights, and it was clear who was ahead and behind the six competitors.

In fact, before he even hit the straight, Jesse Owens realized he was falling behind.

"Chen Qiang is even faster than me in the corner!" A feeling of "something is wrong" suddenly rises in Jesse Owens' heart.

Not being able to run Chen Qiang in the corners is something Jesse Owens didn't expect before the game. Jesse Owens' cornering skills are very good, and in the domestic 200m in the United States, he is always the first to hit the straight and then lead the way to the finish.

Jesse Owens has always believed that his corner run is invincible, but in today's game, Chen Qiang told him that this is not the case, you are not invincible.

But Jesse Owens didn't give up on the race because of the trail in the corner, and this backwardness only fueled his desire to catch up!

The next moment, Jesse Owens suddenly burst out with the strength of his whole body and began the most ferocious sprint.

The rest of the schedule is straight, and all Jesse Owens has to do now is rush forward without thinking.

……

Chen Qiang is also a brainless rush forward.

In terms of speed, Chen Qiang is not stronger than Jesse Owens, and the innate explosiveness of black people is incomparable to Chen Qiang, not to mention that Jesse Owens' physical fitness is also the best among black people.

Chen Qiang still relies on sprinting skills.

At this time, he has taken his sprinting skills to the extreme, and since he will not be faster than Jesse Owens in terms of speed, he must maintain this state of extreme sprint for a longer time.

The results of these four years of training are fully exerted at this moment, and the daily uninterrupted training has already made Chen Qiang's body already have a memory of the technical movements of sprinting, the kicking of the calves, the forward swing of the thighs, and the rhythmic swing of the arms, all of which support Chen Qiang and maintain his speed.

And as long as Chen Qiang can maintain this speed, Jesse Owens behind him will not be able to catch up with him!

……

As the finish line got closer and closer, Jesse Owens found that the distance between him and Chen Qiang had not been narrowed.

"Can't catch up!" Jesse Owens' first reaction when he realized this was that his efforts were not enough.

The next moment, Jesse Owens' expression became hideous, and he rushed forward like a beast trapped in a trap.

Jesse Owens has completely exploded himself, and he has only one purpose, to catch up with Chen Qiang in front.

However, the gap between them has not narrowed. Jesse Owens' efforts have not paid off.

……

Jesse Owens is desperately chasing after him, and Chen Qiang, who is running in front, is about to run out of energy.

The pressure brought by Jesse Owens was also beyond Chen Qiang's expectations, and he used his physical strength to the limit in order to maintain his speed.

And for professional athletes, it may be the best state to use up the last bit of energy before the finish line.

"Hold on, the end is coming!" Chen Qiang knows that the closer he gets to the end, the more he can't relax, because the opponent is Jesse Owens, and Chen Qiang can't give him the slightest chance.

In the next second, Chen Qiang came to the finish line, and it wasn't until he felt the touch of the collision line in his chest that the tense nerves finally relaxed.

Chen Qiang was the first to cross the finish line.

"Finally won!" Chen Qiang's footsteps gradually slowed down, and the feeling of exhaustion and prostration of his body instantly filled his body!
