Chapter Seventy-Four: Asian Records (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

In this race, Chen Qiang's start was much better than the National Games final, and after the start, he immediately found his rhythm, and then began to accelerate with all his might.

The opponent is an American, and Chen Qiang does not dare to take it lightly.

Since the advent of modern sports, the United States has always been the number one sports power in the world. For most sports, the domestic qualifiers in the United States are higher than the Olympics. Many international competitions, even if the United States sends some second-tier players, are the world's top players.

Chen Qiang estimated that these two Americans of the Philippine team are probably second- or third-tier players in the United States.

In track and field, the level of the second and third lines of the United States is placed in Asia, which is the absolute top, which is a relatively objective evaluation.

Therefore, Chen Qiang did not regard this game as a preliminary round, but as a final, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he was very worried that if he relaxed a little, the promotion place would be snatched away by two Americans.

However, after 50 meters, Chen Qiang felt that the two Americans were not as strong as expected, and Chen Qiang didn't even feel too much pressure.

Caucasians are about as talented in sprinting as yellows. The strength of the white race is stronger, and the body coordination of the yellow race is stronger, and both can be regarded as having their own merits, and both are inferior to the blacks.

If it were a black athlete, Chen Qiang would feel even more pressure by now.

After entering the second half, Chen Qiang was even more sure that he had won this game! Because he has the technique of swinging the thighs forward.

Neither Caucasians nor yellows have the same physical talent as blacks, and it is difficult for them to sustain their physical outbursts in the second half of the 100-meter sprint.

However, if you rely on the thigh forward swing technique to provide forward momentum, it can make up for the problem of continuous explosiveness in the second half to a certain extent. Although the thigh swing technique was popularized, the white and yellow races were still beaten by the black race, but at least there were athletes like Su Bingtian and Lemametri who could approach 9.9 seconds in the 100 meters. It can be said that the front swing technique has narrowed the gap between other races and blacks.

And in the early thirties, legendary athlete Jesse Owens was still working part-time jobs such as unloading, delivering meals, and repairing shoes, and black athletes were really rare.

As long as there are no black athletes, then the second half of everyone is weak, and all athletes are not good at the second half, Chen Qiang can beat the world in the second half of the 100-meter dash by relying on the forward swing technique of the thighs!

……

James never thought that a yellow man would run ahead of him!

"What's going on? How did I fall behind? James didn't seem to react yet, and his eyes were confused and overwhelmed.

Steve, on the other hand, reacted much faster, and immediately realized that his opponent was not only James, but also the Asian who ran in front of him without knowing him.

At this moment, Steve's mentality changed.

In the four-in-two game, Steve originally thought that the qualifiers must be himself and James, but the game was just a passing motion. But now someone has run to the front, which means that they suddenly have one more competition!

The point is that this contender is still in the lead, he is in first place and is most likely to qualify!

With less than forty meters to go, Steve realized that time was running out for him.

At this moment, Steve's expression became hideous, as if he had suddenly changed into a person, like an antelope being chased by a cheetah on the grassland, and his heart was full of urgency.

"Hurry up, I'm going to be quick, I'm going to catch up with him!" The thought kept repeating in Steve's head.

However, he found that no matter how hard he exerted, the gap between him and Chen Qiang had not narrowed.

"How did this Asian run so fast? Is it Japanese or Chinese? When this thought flashed through Steve's mind, Chen Qiang had already rushed to the finish line.

……

In the surrounding stands, the number of Chinese students and overseas Chinese is not the majority.

But when Chen Qiang crossed the finish line, those Chinese students and overseas Chinese broke out into the warmest shouts and applause.

As for the Japanese audience, it is purely a kind of mentality to watch the excitement. In their opinion, it is a good thing that the "rice country ghost animal" loses, at least the Japanese team will have one less competitor.

At the finish line, the referee confirmed and finally announced the results of the contestants.

"1st place, 10.8 seconds!" In the loudspeaker at the scene, it was announced in English and Japanese.

An exclamation suddenly sounded from inside the arena. 10.8 seconds is equivalent to the Asian record for the 100-meter sprint.

And the person who set this Asian record is sitting on the rostrum at this time, and that is Gu Sansanwu.

On the rostrum, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Gu Sansanwu and the person who set the Asian record of 10.8 seconds.

I saw Gu Sansanwu take a deep breath, he wanted to hide the surprise and panic in his heart in this way.

"Last month, when China held the National Games, Chen Qiang's time was only 11 seconds, and this month, he ran 10.8 seconds! In just one month, he was able to go from 11 seconds to less than 10 seconds8, is this really the speed of progress that humans can do? ”

Or that when the National Games were held in China, Chen Qiang could already run 10.8 seconds, and he was retaining his strength at that time? That means that it only took him six months to improve from a time of 12 seconds to 10.8 seconds, which is also not the speed that human beings should have! ”

Gu Sansanwu guessed that it was really eight or nine not far from ten, during the National Games, Chen Qiang was too nervous, which led to a mistake at the start, and finally ran a full score of 11 seconds, if Chen Qiang's start was not wrong, he could really run a 10.8 seconds.

As the setter of the Asian record of 10.8 seconds, Gu Sansanwu knows best how difficult it is to run such a time.

Gu Sansanwu set this Asian record in 1925, and in the past five years, only two Asian players have been able to tie this record in the competition.

After all, the level of track and field training in the twenties and thirties was too backward, and for Asian athletes at that time, after running to the 11-second mark, every 0.1 second of progress was difficult to compare. There are too many Asian athletes who can't go from 11 seconds to 10.9 seconds in their lifetime.

The same is true for European and American athletes, with Jesse Owens' world record of 10.2 seconds remaining for 20 years before it was broken, not because of the athlete's individual ability, but because the level of training has never improved.

……

In the athletes' waiting area, Takashi Yoshioka and Kenjiro Okamoka, who were originally preparing to play, their expressions became solemn.

"That Chinese ran a time of 10.8 seconds! I'm afraid I'm no match for him, Yoshioka-kun, it's up to you in the final! Kenjiro Oka said.

Last year, Kenjiro Oka went to the Northeast to participate in the China-Japan-Germany track and field competition, Liu Changchun also ran a time of 10.8 seconds, and Kenjiro Oka lost that game, his score was 11.2 seconds, and for Kenjiro Oka this is already a very good result.

The difference between 11.2 seconds and 10.8 seconds, 0.4 seconds, this is completely a two-level athlete, so when Chen Qiang ran a time of 10.8 seconds, Kenjiro Oka had already admitted defeat in his heart, and he knew that he couldn't outrun Chen Qiang.

On the other hand, although Yoshioka Lude is not as pessimistic as Kenjiro Okaoka, he is also not optimistic.

In 10.8 seconds, Yoshioka Lund can run when he is practicing, and when he is practicing, Yoshioka Lund has even run better. But he didn't run like this in the race.

After all, competition and practice are different, and Yoshioka Lund is also not sure that he can defeat Chen Qiang in the final.

At this moment, the entire Japanese track and field team is filled with an air of loss.

"Is it possible that in the 100-meter sprint, we are going to lose to the Chinese? Are we going to give the title of 'fastest in the Far East' to the Chinese? ”

The champion of the 100-meter sprint means "the fastest", and for the Japanese, who have just risen to become a great power, they do not want to lose to any of the "best in the Far East"!
