Chapter 185 There is always a new technology

A new technology often leads to the creation of new records. However, the new long jump world record is far less shocking than the front flip.

Jesse Owens was not as depressed as he was when he lost the 100-meter race, and when he looked at Chen Qiang at this time, his eyes were no longer full of challenges, but there was an air of respect.

American player Ralph Metcalfe once said that Chen Qiang is always able to come up with impressive new technologies, and his technical reserves are shocking, and Jesse Owens at that time was still a little disapproving, Jesse Owens even felt that those so-called new technologies were some bells and whistles, and in the face of absolute strength, new technologies were floating clouds!

However, when Jesse Owens saw the front flip in the air, he knew that he was wrong, and Chen Qiang's technical innovation in the long jump had reached a point that he could not understand. The pace of this technological innovation has surpassed the so-called "absolute strength"!

At this time, Jesse Owens couldn't help but start to reflect on whether the sports path he had always adhered to was correct.

Jesse Owens is a very athletic talent, and he has always believed that "practice makes perfect". In the long jump, although Jesse Owens uses the most primitive squat in the air, he has practiced this aerial technique countless times.

It's like a samurai, practicing the same sword-swinging action for more than ten years, he may only have this move, but when he strikes, no one can stop the power of this move.

Jesse Owens is like this, he has practiced the squat and take the air to the extreme, and Jesse Owens has always believed that practicing this simple technique to the extreme can defeat advanced techniques such as standing up and walking flying.

However, at this time, Jesse Owens had doubts about his own philosophy. Because Chen Qiang's front flip is beyond Jesse Owens' understanding of the long jump.

On the other side, the head coach of the American team took a deep breath and sighed softly: "It's still the technique that beats the body!" ”

In the eyes of the head coach of the American team, Jesse Owens is the most physically gifted athlete he has ever seen, and the characteristics of black people who can run and jump are perfectly presented in Jesse Owens. Although Jesse Owens also has a good long jump technique, it is really insignificant compared to his talent project.

In the eyes of the head coach of the American team, Chen Qiang is the most outstanding athlete he has ever seen, and the most important thing is that Chen Qiang is always able to display an endless stream of new technologies. Although Chen Qiang's physical talent is also quite good, physical talent has never been the strength of the yellow race. Compared to the techniques displayed by Chen Qiang, his physical talent is always overlooked.

Therefore, the contest between Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens, in the eyes of the head coach of the American team, is definitely a contest of technique and body.

And the head coach of the U.S. team was also inspired by this game, and he seemed to have found the direction of the future development of American track and field.

The United States has a large number of black athletes, and blacks have a congenital advantage in sports, and in those sports that rely more on the body, blacks perform better than whites. However, because of the discrimination against blacks in the United States, they do not have the same education and physical training as whites, so blacks are always excluded from the threshold in technical sports.

Track and field has relatively high requirements for physical fitness, but at the same time, many track and field sports also need skills, so there has been a debate in the United States that track and field should absorb a large number of black athletes and rely on the physical fitness of black athletes to win? Or should we develop new techniques and let white athletes win by skill?

There is no doubt that in the United States at that time, the status of blacks was low, and the right to speak was in the hands of whites, coupled with the racial superiority of whites, so the concept of skill winning prevailed.

In the United States, before the fifties, blacks were also a minority in sports. For example, at the Berlin Olympics, only 19 of the more than 300 players on the U.S. team were black.

It wasn't until the Eisenhower administration officially enacted laws to abolish the racial segregation of blacks, and since then black people in the United States can go to school with whites and receive the same education, black athletes receive better training and learn more advanced sports skills, and black athletes have really risen.

Now, Chen Qiang has defeated Jesse Owens with new technology, as if to confirm the notion that winning by technology is the right path for track and field development, and perhaps after this Olympics, black athletes in the United States will suffer a new round of repression.

The head coach of the U.S. team even secretly said in his heart that he should write a report as soon as possible after returning to explain that the development of track and field technology is the future development of U.S. track and field.

The life and death of American athletes is not within the scope of Chen Qiang's control.

For Chen Qiang, it is also a gratifying thing to regain the world record in the long jump.

"If I'm not mistaken, the world record of 8.17m should hold for 25 years until 1960, when it was broken by American athlete Ralph Boston. It's only 1936, and Ralph Boston hasn't been born yet! Hehe, I can really say it now that the person who broke my world record has not yet been born! ”

A thick smile appeared on Chen Qiang's face, and he stood on the top of the podium of the Berlin Olympics for the third time.

After the medal ceremony, Chen Qiang planned to leave the stadium and rest in the Olympic Village as soon as possible, but the competition officer told him that he could not leave yet because the German Führer would have to meet him again.

This is not the first time that Chen Qiang has been received by the German Führer, this time even Chen Qiang feels that he has a lot of acquaintance with the German Führer, but the German Führer only symbolically said a few words of congratulations, and then left time for the bronze medalist Luce Lang. After all, Luce Lang is a German athlete, and in the eyes of the German head of state, Luce Lang's bronze medal must be more dazzling than Chen Qiang's gold medal.

As for silver medalist Jesse Owens, the German Führer simply did not want to meet him.

……

August 5th was the heaviest task of Chen Qiang's competition.

In the morning, Chen Qiang will participate in the semifinals of the 200m and the preliminaries of the discus. In the afternoon, in addition to the 200-meter final and the discus final, Chen Qiang also had to participate in the preliminary round of the 110-meter hurdles.

The first was the preliminaries of the discus throw, and in addition to Chen Qiang, the Chinese team also sent two other athletes, namely Guo Jie and Leng Bacon.

Guo Jie, known as China's "living fossil of the Olympic Games", lived for more than 100 years before dying, and served as a torchbearer during the Beijing Olympics. The future Chen Qiang also visited Guo Jie himself, so Chen Qiang also has a special respect for this "Guo Lao" in his heart. And because Guo Jie and Chen Qiang are about the same age, whenever he sees Guo Jie, Chen Qiang can't help but sigh, if he can live to be more than a hundred years old like Guo Lao, and be a torchbearer at the Beijing Olympics, what an honor it would be!

Leng Bacon is a native of Nanjing, and he is also from a famous family. Leng Bacon's eldest brother Leng Peiyuan was the adjutant of the "Eagle Dog General" Song Xilian, participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and finally became a high-ranking official of the national government. Leng Bacon's third and fourth brothers were pilots, of which the third brother Leng Peiji sacrificed his life for the country in the Anti-Japanese War, and the fourth brother Leng Peishu destroyed Japanese planes and ships many times in the Anti-Japanese War, and finally became a lieutenant general of the Air Force. And Leng Peigen himself eventually became a physicist.

To get back to the point, the discus throw competition at the Berlin Olympics has a total of 32 competitors, so the preliminary round will be held.

And the discus throwers in this era, as Chen Qiang expected, there are not many fat people. Most people are the kind of muscular men with a standard body, and in the gym of the future, they will probably be regarded as sunny little fresh meat that often exercises, and they will be teased in various ways.

Since the Soviet Union did not participate in the Olympic Games, there were no athletes from Eastern Europe to participate, so there were few tall and strong men among the players, Chen Qiang visually measured that more than 200 pounds of people is five or six, except for two American strong men, that is, athletes from Northern Europe can weigh 200 pounds.

If it is placed in the future generations, the male discus thrower weighs less than 200 pounds, so what kind of Olympics will he participate in!

For example, in the future Beijing Olympics, the weight of the men's discus throwers is basically about 250 pounds, and the lightest weight is an Iraqi player, only 190 pounds, but considering that Iraq was still fighting at that time, it is normal for athletes to be hungry and thin. In addition to the Iraqi player, the lightest Filipino player also weighs 200 pounds.

And at the Berlin Olympics, if a men's discus thrower can weigh 200 pounds, he is definitely a heavyweight. Most athletes weigh in the range of one hundred and sixty or seventy pounds.

In the preliminary discus throw, as long as you can throw 44 meters, you can advance to the final in the afternoon. This was also a very difficult achievement at the time. Of the 32 competitors, perhaps only half of them threw 44 meters.

The players came on the field one after another, and they all used the same primitive throwing techniques.

When he visited the Soviet Union last year, although Chen Qiang demonstrated his back-to-back spin throwing skills, the Soviet Union at that time did not have any contact with Western Europe, and there was no communication between athletes, so the back-spin throwing skills were not transmitted to Western Europe.

At the National Games in China, Chen Qiang also used the back-to-back spin throwing technique, but at that time, China was even more out of touch with the world, so the back-to-the-back spin throwing technique was even more unlikely to come out of China.

Before the Olympics, the Chinese team held a training camp, when Chen Qiang taught the back-to-spin throwing technique to the other two players of the Chinese team, namely Guo Jie and Leng Bacon, so these two will also use the back-to-back throwing technique. However, due to the short time of practice, even if the two learned the technique of back-spin throwing, the improvement in their performance was not enough to win a medal at the Olympics.

The athletes took to the field in turn to challenge the distance of 44 meters, and the result was that fewer people succeeded and more people failed. After all, this is the first time to try to throw, so the players' results will not be very high.

Finally, it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear, and he was also the first Chinese player to appear.

"The next one is a Chinese player! Oh, I really can't tell what Chinese look like, they all seem to be carved out of a mold. Look at that person, just like the somersault Chen Qiang yesterday. ”

"Yes, it is indeed the same, in fact, I also think that the Chinese look the same."

When someone was talking, the athlete's introduction sounded on the loudspeaker at the scene: "The next player to appear on the stage, Chen Qiang from China!" ”

"Listen, even the name is pretty much the same!"

"Yes, the names of Chinese are so strange, they all call the same, yesterday that person was called Chen Qiang, and today this person is also called Chen Qiang!"

"They look the same, and the names are the same, so they can't be twins, right?"

"Twins? So is he an older brother or a younger brother? ”

"No, how do I think, he is the same Chen Qiang yesterday!"

"You're right, what twins! It's just the same person! ”

"You said that Chen Qiang, who jumped yesterday, also participated in the discus competition? Is he a long jumper discus? ”

"He seems to have done a sprint, and he ran 10 seconds in the 100 meters. In this way, he participated in running, jumping and throwing events! ”

"I can run, jump, and throw, it's the first time I've seen such an all-round athlete!"

"This Chen Qiang is the fastest person in the world, the person who jumps the highest and farthest, he shouldn't throw a discus, he also wants to break the world record!"

Amid the discussion of people, Chen Qiang walked onto the field. He grasped the discus with his right hand and spread his fingers apart, his thumb and palm flat against the discus, and the last knuckles of the remaining four fingers clasped the rim of the discus. The wrist is slightly flexed, the upper edge of the discus rests against the forearm, and the entire right arm hangs naturally down to the side.

Then, he stood at the back edge of the throw circle with his legs spread out, his eyes level, and then turned his back to the direction of the throw.

"Chen Qiang is standing in the opposite direction, right?"

"What is he doing? How to turn your back to the direction of the throw? ”

"Didn't he compete in the discus? Can't even find the right direction? Is this going to throw the discus into the audience? It's going to be smashed, but it's going to kill people! ”

"It's the Olympics, right? It's unlikely that such a low-level mistake will occur! ”

Everyone at the scene looked at Chen Qiang in surprise, they had never seen anyone throwing with their backs to the direction of the throw.

The referee was even going to step forward to remind Chen Qiang and tell him that he was standing in the opposite direction.

However, without waiting for the referee to remind him, Chen Qiang began to move.

First, there is a pre-swing movement of the left and right, then the right leg kicks the ground, the upper body turns to the left, and at the same time the left knee is abducted, and the weight is moved from the right foot to the left leg that is bent and turned, and his whole body also begins to rotate because of this shift of the center of gravity.

After turning, he began to exert his final force. When the weight shifts to the left leg, the right leg continues to push and stretch, and swings forward with explosive and rapid force. At the same time, his left leg quickly and vigorously pushes and stretches, and the left shoulder brakes, so that the right side of the body quickly turns forward, concentrating the strength of his whole body on the discus, and the next moment, his fingers pull the cake hard, and the entire discus flies forward in a clockwise direction.

"He really threw it out!"

"My God, can you still throw a discus like this?"

"It's the first time I've ever seen a discus thrown like this!"

"Is this another new technology? How can he always have new technology! ”

While people were puzzled, the discus that controlled the rotation had easily crossed the 44-meter marking.

Chen Qiang used the back-spin throwing technique, and only the first trial throw was able to successfully advance to the finals.
