At two o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally time for the final of the 100-meter dash.

There are still only four players participating in the competition, the first lane is North Korea's Takesawa Takagi, the second lane is Japan's Nanbu Tadahei, the third lane is Japan's Yoshioka Takatoku, and Chen Qiang stands on the fourth lane.

There were some North Korean spectators in the surrounding open space, looking at the four contestants with numb expressions, but on the rostrum that was not very spacious, there were bursts of Japanese cheering sounds.

Those were Japanese expatriates who did not stand in the open field, but sat on the concrete steps of the rostrum, cheering for Southern Tadahei and Yoshioka Lund.

In addition, there were many reporters on the scene. Most of these reporters were Japanese, and several of them had come from Tokyo to cover the tournament.

The scale of the Games in the capital is not large, and to be honest, it is not worth the inheritance of Japanese journalists who came from Tokyo to report. However, at the behest of the Japan Sports Association, many Japanese newspapers sent reporters to report the news that a Japanese athlete won the "fastest in Asia".

As for North Korean journalists, only two newspapers, Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, sent people. These two newspapers are Korean-Chinese newspapers allowed by the Korean Governor-General's Office, but in terms of influence, these two Korean newspapers are inferior to Japan's Asahi Shimbun. Even in the 21st century, the Asahi Shimbun is better than its own newspapers when it comes to surveying readers' most influential newspapers.

……

When the four contestants stood on the field, all eyes were on them.

The four players did not speak, and each did warm-up exercises.

The North Korean Takagi Takesawa casually looked at the crowd in the open space around him, those were his compatriots, but the numb face, the pair of godless eyes, made Takagi Takesawa not feel any passion for the game.

Takagi Takesawa was originally known as Park Daewu, and later changed his name to Takagi Takesawa after changing his Japanese surname. He doesn't like this surname, and he doesn't like this name, but this name can bring him a lot of convenience. With this name, he is a superior existence among North Koreans!

His compatriots, when they heard the name "Takagi Takezawa", would fear him, would bow to him, and would flatter him.

Takagi Takesawa also knew that those Koreans who bowed to him and flattered him might turn around and accuse him of betraying his ancestors, calling him a traitor, calling him a traitor, and calling him a lackey of the Japanese.

But none of this matters, the name Takagi Takesawa can allow him to get glory and wealth, get money and beauty, get a better life, and get more opportunities! It is precisely because he is Takagi Takesawa that he has everything he has today, and if he is still the same "Park Dawu", he has nothing.

Takagi Takesawa looked at Nanbu Tadahei next to him, and he knew that this was the best athlete in all of Japan, and even all of Asia.

And Nanbu Tadahei never looked at Takagi Takesawa with his eyes, not even a glance!

"Maybe in the eyes of the Japanese, I'm Takagi Takesawa just a dog!" Takagi Takesawa smiled self-deprecatingly, and then he realized that the metaphor seemed to be a little too contemptuous of dogs.

The dog will at least remain loyal to his master, while he has already betrayed his country, abandoned his own people, and even lost his own surname!

The North Koreans who were watching the battle in the surrounding open space were still numb, they were like models in the window, they would just stand there blankly, even if people came and went, on the basis of motionless.

The display models in the window are dead things, but these in front of you are living people!

But it's the same insensitivity!

Takagi Takesawa suddenly felt a little lucky, glad that he was now Takagi Takezawa, glad that he had become a lackey of the Japanese, at least in this way, he could still feel the value of his existence, not like these compatriots, who lived but died.

Suddenly, Takagi remembered the exiles, those who intended to restore the Korean state. I heard that they also established a provisional government of the Republic of Korea ten years ago, and a man surnamed Lee became president.

This president seems to be the former king, right? The previous king was also surnamed Li.

"What do those people get but exile? There is no hope for North Korea! So, don't do unnecessary things. It's good to be like me, at least I can live a better life than everyone else! ”

……

Nanbu Zhongping's expression looked very serious, as an athlete, his professionalism is still very good, even if it is a small competition, he will be very serious.

The air in North Korea is colder than in Tokyo, but Tadahei in the south prefers this low temperature because he is a native of Hokkaido, and autumn in Hokkaido is quite cold.

Standing on the track and feeling the cool breeze, Nanbu Tadahei thought of his hometown and his mother.

"It's been a long time since I've been home, and I don't know how my mom is doing."

Nanfang Zhongping looked at the track under his feet again, he knew his mission this time, he wanted to take away the title of "Asia's fastest" from Chen Qiang's hands.

Nanbu Tadahei sighed slightly, although he has a very good talent in the sprint event, but he still prefers the long jump, usually he conducts training in the long jump event, if it is not for the strong request of the Japanese Sports Association this time, he will not deliberately practice the long jump, and then come here to compete.

"As a Japanese athlete, I should take on the responsibility of a Japanese athlete! Japan needs me to fight for honors, and I should fight for them, and this is the only thing an athlete can do for his country! ”

Nanbu Tadahei raised his head and looked at the finish line a hundred meters away, his eyes full of determination.

He is a very pure athlete, and he is very willing to pay for the country as an athlete!

……

Yoshioka Lund was a little nervous, but also a little excited.

At the Far Eastern Games a few months ago, the defeat to Chen Qiang was still vivid, and he was at a low ebb for a few days, losing to a Chinese, which seemed to Yoshioka Lud to be a very humiliating thing.

In order to take revenge, he trained day and night like a desperate Saburo.

Yoshioka Lund was originally a person who was easily affected by emotions, and in history, he once almost committed suicide because of the loss in the Berlin Olympics. People with this kind of personality are often very extreme, in order to defeat Chen Qiang, even if he works hard and tired, he is willing to pay.

Lund Yoshioka's efforts have been well worth it, as he has improved his personal best by 0.1 seconds in just four months. With the backward level of training at that time, it can really be regarded as rapid progress.

"Today, I must win, the title of Asia's fastest belongs to me!" Yoshioka Lund clenched his fists fiercely.

Yoshioka Lund has always had a dream of becoming the fastest runner in the world, but before that, he has to become the fastest runner in all of Asia, so he has to beat Chen Qiang!

Now Yoshioka Lund, not only fighting for honor, not only for the responsibility of Japanese athletes, but also for himself, for the dream of "the fastest in the world".

……

Chen Qiang is the only one of the four contestants who has no distractions.

At this time, he stood on the track, did not feel excited, nor nervous, it can really be described as no joy or sorrow, no waves.

How much do you need to think about when you compete? Need to reminisce about the past and look forward to the future?

No, you don't.

Sports competition is a process of grasping the present.

The so-called ten years of work off the stage, ten seconds on the stage, this is used to describe the sport of 100-meter sprint.

Athletes usually practice hard day and night, in order to run those ten seconds on the competition field. For example, Chen Qiang, in addition to normal training during the day, he also has to practice ten times more time in the training space at night, and the whole body has already memorized the sport of the 100-meter sprint.

Warming up, squatting, and preparing for the start are all natural things, and this set of movements has been practiced countless times, and he can complete it with his eyes closed.

What Chen Qiang needs to do now is to focus mentally.

He put aside distractions and focused all his attention on the race, he looked at the finish line in front of him, lowered his head one after another, and carefully adjusted his starting posture to stabilize the center of gravity of his body.

Perhaps because of Chen Qiang's participation, the starter used English this time, and the North Korean Takagi Takesawa was a little uncomfortable with English instructions. However, the Japanese starters will not care about this, after all, Takagi Takesawa is only here to be at the bottom.

“set！” The starter raised the gun, then pulled the trigger.

Chen Qiang jumped out of the starting line, and then still leaned forward in the center and slammed down, taking the lead in the blink of an eye.

Although Nanfang Zhongping and Chen Qiang are separated by a track, within his line of sight, Chen Qiang's lead has been captured.

"Chen Qiang's start is so fast, faster than those athletes from European and American countries in the Olympics, this is the fastest start I have ever seen!" Nanbu Zhongping was slightly shocked in his heart.

At the Far Eastern Games, Southern Zhongping had seen Chen Qiang's start and knew that Chen Qiang's start would be fast, but at that time, he was a bystander after all, and he did not have a deep understanding of Chen Qiang's starting speed.

And now, Nanfang Zhongping and Chen Qiang are racing together, and then they feel that Chen Qiang's starting speed is higher than his own.

Nanfang Zhongping once participated in the 1928 Olympic Games as a long jumper, so he has seen the start of European and American athletes, but he has watched the final of the 100-meter dash of the 1928 Olympic Games, and in his opinion, Chen Qiang's start has surpassed those world-class athletes.

However, Nanfang Zhongping did not deliberately change his acceleration rhythm because of Chen Qiang's lead, he still accelerated and ran according to his own rhythm, step by step.

Nan Chunghei is not good at that kind of ferocious acceleration, he prefers to accelerate in a gentle, rhythmic way, because he is a long jumper, and in the long jump, the acceleration is smooth and rhythmic, and no long jumper will accelerate violently.

Nanbu Tadahei brought the running technique of the long jump into the 100-meter sprint, no matter what the opponent is, he will run at his own pace, and his running style is difficult to be affected by the opponent. It's a very lonely way of running, and even if a lot of people are racing, Nanbu Tadahei runs his own as if he won't intersect with other athletes.

Athletes from the long jump sport are like this, after all, the long jump competition is each athlete tried to jump individually, so when sprinting, they also run on their own.

But Yoshioka Lund is different, he is an authentic sprinter, and after the start, he accelerates violently in an attempt to catch up with Chen Qiang.

Since the Far Eastern Games, Yoshioka Lund has been thinking about why he lost to Chen Qiang and where he lost.

In the end, Yoshioka Lund thought that he was losing at the starting stage, Chen Qiang took the lead at the start, and then led until the end, and he chased the whole process, and at the end, he no longer had the physical strength to surpass, so he could only watch Chen Qiang take the championship.

Yoshioka felt that if he didn't fall behind at the start, then he could at least go toe-to-toe with Chen Qiang, so that he would have a chance to overtake later.

So this time at the start, Yoshioka Lund's force was extraordinarily fast.

But this still can't make up for the century-long technological gap, and Chen Qiang is still ahead in the starting stage.

"Oops, just like last time, he's ahead again, I'm going to overtake it quickly!" Yoshioka Lund said secretly in his heart.

For this race, Yoshioka Lund formulated several sets of plans, the first plan is to start fiercely, don't lag behind Chen Qiang, but this plan has gone bankrupt, so Yoshioka Lund immediately adopted the second plan, that is, to forcibly speed up, and strive to catch up with Chen Qiang in the middle of the game.

This kind of forced acceleration in the early stage will definitely overdraw his physical strength in advance and affect his physical reserves in the second half, but in order to win, Yoshioka Lund decided to fight, after all, if the first half of the schedule can't catch up with Chen Qiang, then it will be difficult to catch up with Chen Qiang in the second half, and the game will become the same as in the Far Eastern Games, Chen Qiang led all the way to the finish line.

Yoshioka Lund is worthy of being the best Asian sprinter in this era, and his explosiveness is indeed very outstanding, and in the case of forced speed, he overtook Nanbu Tadahei and quickly approached Chen.

……

This cinder runway is somewhat soft.

More than 70% of North Korea's coal is anthracite, and anthracite is a blended variety with poor hardness and low calorific value, and the runway under Chen Qiang's feet is a little soft.

And the quality of the runway is not very good, some are not strong.

When Chen Qiang raised his feet, he always brought up some cinders, which showed that the runway was not very compact.

The softer the run, the less elastic force will be when kicking the ground, and the physical energy consumption of kicking the ground will be greater, many long-distance runners, in order to exercise endurance, will specifically find cinder tracks for practice, and in the future, the track and field training base built on some plateaus in China will build a cinder track for long-distance runners to practice.

The reason why Ethiopians are so good at long-distance running is because they run all day on the red soil of the Ethiopian highlands, which is much softer than the cinder track, so Ethiopian athletes can exercise such excellent endurance.

Chen Qiang had already observed the track before the race and knew the characteristics of the track, so he adopted a fast and rhythmic running style. In order to find a suitable running rhythm as soon as possible, you may lose a little speed in the early stage, but you can run more smoothly in the middle and later stages.

It can be said that this is a more operational-oriented way of running, the early stage is to lay a solid foundation, the middle stage begins to exert force, and the later stage is the first. Using this running method, you can reduce the probability of athletes' mistakes and achieve more stable results.

In the 100-meter sprint race, it is generally the absolute strength of the athletes, will use the more operational running style, such as Bolt, he will rarely fight with the opponent at the beginning of the game, he often starts to exert his strength in the middle of the game, but as long as he exerts his strength, other opponents will be left behind by him.

The current Chen Qiang, although he does not have the strength of Bolt, is still confident in his own strength, and as his body develops, he has become stronger, and his time has improved by about 0.2 seconds compared to a few months ago, so he firmly believes that he can defeat Nanbu Tadahei and Yoshioka Lund.

Nanbu Tadahei was still running at his own pace, as if he was the only one on the track, but Yoshioka Lud was already approaching and quickly catching up.

Chen Qiang's eyes swept away, and he immediately realized that Yoshioka Lund had chased after him, almost on par with him.

But Chen Qiang did not panic in the slightest, he had already found his familiar rhythm.

Chen Qiang kicked the ground hard, and there were even potholes on the slightly soft soot runway that spiked shoes had stepped on.

Then Chen Qiang swung his legs forward, and the muscles on his entire thighs stretched out obvious grooves at this moment, and even the green tendons could be vaguely exposed.

Most of the time, he was not stepping on the ground, but soaring in the air, as if he was flying. Every kick on the ground, every forward swing, gave him the motivation to move forward!

Just one second later, he shook off Yoshioka again, and then the next second, Yoshioka was once again one position behind.

……

Yoshioka Lund, who was behind the start, chose to force the acceleration, and then he really caught up with Chen Qiang and went head-to-neck with him.

"I've caught up with Chen Qiang!" Yoshioka Lund was happy in his heart, and the second set of plans was successfully implemented so far.

Yoshioka Lund also knew that forcibly speeding up in front would make him consume more physical energy and make him weak in the second half, but Yoshioka Lund believed that his willpower would definitely be able to overcome the fatigue of ** and allow him to persevere to the end.

However, in the next second, Chen Qiang surpassed Yoshioka Lund, which was neck and neck, and only lasted for a second.

"How fast can he be?" Yoshioka Lude was shocked.

Of course, Yoshioka Lund didn't know that Chen Qiang had already completed the early operation and began to run recklessly at his own pace.

It's the same push, it's the same forward swing, but the rhythm is better, and the speed is naturally faster.

After another second, Yoshioka Lund realized that he was one position behind Chen Qiang again.

"How so! The gap has widened again. Even as he ran, there was still a hint of horror on Yoshioka's face.

The second set of plans failed, and Chen Qiang was far stronger than Yoshioka Lund imagined!

At the same time, Nanbu Tadahei, who had been running at his own pace, also caught up.

Yoshioka Lund was instantly attacked on his back.
