American James Gordon is in lane 5, he is closest to Chen Qiang, and he is also the one who has the clearest perception of the speed that Chen Qiang is showing.

When running in the corner, James Gordon had already noticed that Chen Qiang's speed was very amazing, faster than all the athletes he had met before!

"That Chinese ran so fast, his current speed is much faster than the semi-finals in the morning, it is simply not a grade!" Could it be that this is his real strength? ”

It is normal to retain strength in the semifinals, and James Gordon can also guess that Chen Qiang may have reservations in the semifinals, but James Gordon never expected that Chen Qiang would retain so much strength.

The final straight is getting closer and closer, but the gap between Chen Qiang and James Gordon before seems to be getting bigger and bigger!

"It's a curve, and instead of getting closer, the distance between us is getting bigger!"

Athletes on the outside track will start relatively far forward, so as the race progresses, they will get closer to each other on the inside track. Assuming that the two athletes are at exactly the same pace, they should go hand in hand when they get into the final straight.

However, today's situation seems to be the opposite, Chen Qiang, who is on the outside runway, is constantly widening the distance between him and James Gordon.

When Chen entered the straight, James Gordon was still struggling in the corner, and he was almost ten meters away from the straight.

"A difference of more than 1 second!" James Gordon suddenly realized this.

At the moment when Chen Qiang entered the straight, James Gordon finally clearly judged that he was more than 1 second behind Chen Qiang!

The 400-meter dash, 1 second slower than others, and the race was not over yet, James Gordon suddenly felt devastated!

As an American athlete, James Gordon's 400-meter level is certainly not weak, and James Gordon often tastes victory in domestic competitions in the United States. Moreover, the Olympic trials in the United States have always been extremely cruel, and the athletes who can be killed from the American trials must have the world's top level.

If you are a rookie and are thrown away by others with a gap of more than a second, then you will admit it. But as a world-class player, he is more than a second slower than others, which is really a blow to self-confidence.

It was frustrating to be more than a quarter of the way into the game and more than a second behind, but the next second, James Gordon suddenly recognized another, more serious problem:

Team USA may be going to lose!

"Being more than a second faster than me is definitely a world record level of strength, so the real strength of this Chinese should be on par with Ben Iscaman and Bill Carr!" No, it's not over yet, there's still a quarter of the way to go, so even Ben Iscaman and Bill Carr won't be able to get that far ahead of me. Oops, our American team is really going to lose! ”

Even if James Gordon is sluggish, he has already realized that in yesterday's preliminary rounds, semifinals, and this morning's semifinals, Chen Qiang has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

The 400m is the most dominant event in the United States, and the thought of potentially losing the 400m gold medal makes James Gordon a little anxious.

However, in the 400m event, James Gordon was originally the third person of the American team, the weakest of the three American team members, and the gold medal of the American team did not fall on James Gordon, so even if the American team did not win the gold medal in the 400m, this responsibility will not be counted on James Gordon's head. This may be the only good news for James Gordon.

……

As he was about to hit the final straight, Ben Iscaman was already starting to pick up speed.

"I'm the world record holder in the 400m, I can't lose, I'm going to defend my honor!" Ben Iskaman looked determined, and more importantly, he had regained the feeling he had five months earlier, breaking the world record.

Ben Iscaman felt like he was replicating that race, he was running smoothly and at a very good pace, the same way he broke the world record.

"46.4 seconds, I did it five months ago, and I can do it now! I'll run another 46.4 seconds! ”

"Bill Carr, you arrogant guy who only won me twice, but you keep saying that I am the 'watery' world record holder, and today I am going to show you that you are nothing in front of the world record!"

Thinking of this, Ben Iscaman glanced to the right.

Then Ben Iscaman saw that Bill Karl had entered the final straight, and turned back to the left, looking at himself, and in Bill Karl's eyes, there was also a rather smug color, as if he was laughing at Ben Iskaman's backwardness.

Ben Iskaman's body was just entering the straight, and through visual inspection, Ben Iscaman judged that he should be about two meters behind Bill Carr.

"Bill Karl is on the straights and I'm behind!" Ben Iscaman realized this instantly.

Ben Iscaman has a trace of unwillingness, but more frustration, he is now in very good shape, similar to when he broke the world record five months ago, it can be said that Ben Iscaman is now in the strongest personal state, but this strongest Ben Iscaman is still behind Bill Carr.

"Bill Carr, how can you run so fast! I'm not even a match for him in such good shape! I'm not reconciled! ”

Ben Iscaman can only think of what it would be like for Bill Karl to win the championship, he will definitely taunt himself with joy, will humiliate himself with that arrogant tone, and even show arrogance every time they meet in the future.

Ben Iscaman was very unhappy when he wanted to fight here, he didn't want to see Bill Carr's hateful face of villainy.

"I can't lose to Bill Carr! Even for the sake of dignity, I can't lose to him! ”

At this moment, Ben Iscaman intends to do his best, he wants to pour all his strength onto the runway, just to avoid being taunted and humiliated by Bill Carr, just to preserve his dignity.

Ben Iscaman glanced to his right again, trying to make sure how far he was behind Bill Karl.

This time, however, in Ben Iskaman's line of sight, there was not just Bill Karl, but another person.

It was in the outermost lane sixth, where there was also an athlete running, and it was almost two metres ahead of Bill Carr!

Ben Iscaman was stunned in his heart, he even had the illusion that he was dazzled?

When he looked at Bill Karl for the first time just now, Ben Iscaman didn't notice Chen Qiang, after all, Ben Iscaman was in the second lane, Chen Qiang was in the sixth lane, the two were far away, and Ben Iskaman's attention was all on Bill Carl in the fourth lane, and after he saw Bill Karl, he didn't continue to pay attention to Chen Qiang on the right side.

This time, however, Ben Iscaman discovers that someone is even faster than Bill Carr!

"Sixth, it's that Chinese! He's going to be faster! Ben Iscaman instantly felt as if his brain had been short-circuited.

All this came too suddenly, Chen Qiang, who had been kicked out of the ranks of competitors by Ben Iscaman before, was even faster than Bill Carr!

"Can the Chinese run so fast? In yesterday's preliminary round and semi-finals, he just crossed the qualification threshold, and in the semi-finals this morning, he didn't perform well, I was in the same group as him in the semi-finals, he was much slower than me, why was it so good in the final? Was it suddenly possessed by a cheetah? ”

"I understand, that Chinese has not shown his true strength, before the final, he has been deliberately releasing water, and I stupidly thought that his strength is not strong!"

At this moment, Ben Iscaman suddenly felt that he was really stupid! Chen Qiang is the champion of the 100m and 200m, and has broken the world record in these two events, how can he not run 400m? With Chen Qiang's strong dominance in the 100m and 200m events, he will definitely not be a weak chicken when he comes to the 400m race!

Ben Iskaman, like everyone else, is blinded by his own ideology, habitual thinking and prejudice, and in his inherent impression, China is a poor and backward barbaric place, and the Chinese are all weak people with yellow faces and thin muscles, even if Chen Qiang has created enough miracles, Ben Iskaman still feels that Chinese athletes are weak chickens.

And at this time, when Ben Iscaman was faced with the cruel reality, he finally came to his senses, and he knew that he was wrong, really wrong!

It was also at this moment that Ben Iscaman suddenly remembered a serious problem.

"Bill Karl is ahead of me, and that Chinese is ahead of Bill Karl, won't the 400-meter gold medal be taken away by the Chinese?"

Thinking of this, Ben Iskaman's heart suddenly tightened.

As the world record holder in the 400m dash, Ben Iscaman certainly has high hopes for the entire U.S. team to win the 400m gold medal for the U.S. team. However, now it seems that he is a little far from the gold medal, and there is not only a Bill Carr in front of him, but also a Chinese Chen Qiang!

"In the 400-meter sprint, our American team can't afford to lose again!" Ben Iscaman suddenly found himself defending not only his dignity, but also the glory of the United States!

At this moment, Ben Iscaman suddenly felt that he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders, and he had to fight not only for himself, but for the whole of America!

……

Bill Karl saw that Ben Iscaman was going to fall behind him, and he felt that he had won this race, and the gold medal in the 400m seemed to hang around his neck.

In this race, the "crazy" athlete ran the best form of his career, and he believes that if he rushes forward without hesitation, he will be able to break the 400m world record.

Bill Karl turned around, he was ready to sprint with all his strength to finish the rest of the race, but at the moment of turning back, he found a figure in the corner of his right eye, he was also a running man, and the position was still in front of him!

Bill Lal subconsciously turned his head to the right, and he didn't need to turn his head at too big an angle to see Chen Qiang running on the sixth lane, who was also the one ahead of him!

A shock rose through Bill Karl's mind, and for a moment he didn't even react to what was happening in front of him.

After a brief short-circuit in his mind, Bill Carr finally understood what had happened.

"It's the Chinese, he ran ahead of me! When did he run ahead of me? How did he get ahead of me? Is this guy taking a shortcut! ”

Although Bill Carr has regained his mind, his mind is still very confused, and even the idea of "taking a shortcut" has exploded. This is an Olympic competition, in front of tens of thousands of spectators, how can there be athletes who take a shortcut? What's more, Chen Qiang is still in the outermost sixth lane, which is the most unlikely to take a shortcut.

In the next second, Bill Carr suddenly remembered that he didn't look to the right side for the whole game, and all his attention was on Ben Iscaman in the second lane on the left, and as for the fifth and sixth lanes on the right, they were not in Bill Carr's eyes at all.

So far, this is the first time that Bill Karl has turned his head to the right to observe the situation of the athlete on the right, but it is the first glance to the right that Bill Karl realizes that he is not the first, it turns out that someone has run in front of him.

This is the last straight, the lead at this time, that is the real lead!

"How is it possible, how can that Chinese be ahead of me, can it be said that he is faster than me?" Although Bill Carr doesn't want to admit this, the common sense of life tells him that running ahead of him is not faster than him!

"Damn, that Chinese has been retaining strength and has not come up with real strength until now, this cunning guy! In the preliminaries, semi-finals and semifinals, he ran so slowly, it must have been deliberate! Bill Carr said in his heart.

Bill Carr knows how fast he can run, he can feel that he can break the world record in the 400 meters, but Chen Qiang is faster than him, it can't be luck or coincidence to be able to reach such a level of speed, the only reasonable explanation is that this is Chen Qiang's real strength.

Bill Carr also realized this, and he cursed Chen Qiang for cunning in his heart before putting his mind back on the track.

With only 70 meters left to the finish line, Bill Carr is almost two meters behind Chen Qiang, which already looks like a big gap.

"I'm so far behind, am I going to lose to that Chinese!"

Bill Carr suddenly remembered his pre-tournament rhetoric, he had sworn that he could win the gold medal, and if he lost in the end, he would lose face!

What's even more terrifying is that it was Chen Qiang who defeated him! It's the Chinese he always looks down on!

Bill Karl remembered the 200m final the day before, when American Eddie Tolan also lost to Chen Qiang, and after the race, Bill Carr used to sneer at Eddie Tolan, calling Eddie Tolan "waste" and accusing him of losing to a Chinese.

And today's match, in its current form, he is likely to lose to the same Chinese as well.

"Eddie Tolan, that little black fat man, must be waiting to see my jokes, right? If I lose, he'll 100% taunt me for being a piece of shit, just like I did the day before yesterday! ”

The thought of being ridiculed by a black man made Bill Carr completely furious!

He is a white man, and he is the upper class of whites, he has a solid family since he was a child, he also studied in the top universities in the United States, his family is good, his studies are good, and his sports are good, he is a pure "three good students", he will become an elite in American society in the future, how can he lose to a Chinese! How can you be ridiculed by blacks!

"No, never, I can't afford to lose this game!" A strong sense of self-esteem fuels Bill Carr's fighting spirit.

At this time, Bill Carr no longer cares about the applause and shouts of the audience around him, he is not chasing victory, nor is he trying to get honor, but to keep his self-esteem!

"I still have a chance, there are still seventy meters to go, and I can use the final sprint to overtake that Chinese!" That's right, the final sprint is what I'm good at, I'm very fast, I'm sure I'll be able to beat him! ”

At this moment, Bill Carr exerted all his physical strength, poured all his strength into his legs, and began the final sprint!

Among the 400m athletes, Bill Carr is indeed very fast in the sprint, and he is really good at the final sprint, and in many races, he has relied on this advantage to successfully overtake his opponents and eventually win the championship.

So in Bill Carr's view, the final 70-meter sprint is the time for him to play his pace, and when he makes the most of his strengths.

However, he overlooked one point, this time his opponent was the fastest person in the world!

The fastest person in the world thinks you can win by sprinting faster than anyone else. There are probably only two kinds of people in the world who would do such a thing, the brave and the ignorant.

A brave man has courage, and even if it is a difficult challenge, he will be brave enough to try.

As for the ignorant, they are fearless!

……

The audience also knows that this is the strongest track and field event of the American team, and the gold medal has been won nine times out of ten, so they have unleashed their greatest enthusiasm for the athletes on the track.

There are those who support Ben Iskaman and there are those who support Bill Carr, but it doesn't matter, as long as the American athlete can win, that's enough.

However, in the first 300 meters, ordinary spectators could not tell who was running faster. After all, the relative position of the athletes starts first, and ordinary spectators are not so sensitive to the perception of speed, and in the process of the first 300 meters, the difference of about one second is not perceptible to the audience.

When you enter the final straight, the situation is different, and it is really clear who is ahead and who is behind.

The moment the athletes entered the straight, everyone was glued to the track, for fear of missing that wonderful moment.

Then they saw that the first person to enter the straight was not Ben Iscaman or Bill Carr, but Chen Qiang on the outermost runway!

Chen Qiang is about two meters ahead of Bill Karl and four meters ahead of Ben Iscarman, so as long as you are not blind, you can see such a big difference.

It was at this moment that the cheers and applause in the stands suddenly lowered a notch. What seemed to be crazy rock music turned into a lyrical folk song in an instant.

"What's the situation, that Chinese is ahead?"

"Why is it that Chinese running in the first position again?"

"What the hell is going on? How can you run and run, that Chinese became the first? ”

"In the semi-finals in the morning, wasn't that Chinese running quite slowly? And yesterday's rematch, that Chinese is the worst of all the qualifiers! ”

"Is it because of our American team that the athletes haven't made a splash yet?"

"It's almost the end, why haven't you done your best!"

Faced with this scene, many Americans are puzzled.

The strength of the U.S. team in the 400m event is indeed too strong, and in the previous preliminaries, semi-finals and semi-finals of the qualification, the U.S. team has shown strong strength, all of which have been promoted in a crushing manner, and only athletes from other countries are too weak.

Therefore, the audience should feel that the situation in the final is similar to the previous preliminary, semi-final and semi-final, the United States team will be very strong, winning the championship with a crushing attitude, and athletes from other countries are foils.

It's just that the reality is completely different from everyone's expectations.

There are also many people who feel that this scene is déjà vu. Those who have this feeling are all spectators who watched the game a few days ago.

In the 100-meter final, Chen Qiang was ahead, in the 200-meter final, Chen Qiang was also ahead, and now in the 400-meter final, Chen Qiang is still ahead, which is more like re-enacting the previous 100-meter final and 200-meter finals!

It's just that for these American audiences, this is a tragic story, and watching it again can only add to the sadness!

……

The head coach of the U.S. team widened his eyes, he had already noticed that Chen Qiang's speed was a little outrageous, but fortunately, Ben Iscaman and Bill Karl were also fast, so although the head coach of the U.S. team felt uneasy, he was still able to show a calm expression.

Until the athletes entered the final straight track, at this moment, Chen Qiang's advantage was already very obvious.

"I should have thought a long time ago, that Chinese is not so simple, he has won four gold medals, broken the world record in four events, if he is not sure, why should he come to participate in the 400-meter sprint, why add a defeat to himself, since he dares to come, it is possible to win the championship!"

The head coach of the U.S. team suddenly figured this out.

Now Chen Qiang, won four gold medals, broke four world records, he is a well-deserved superstar in the Olympic arena, with his current results, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in this Olympic Games.

Since Chen Qiang has already achieved such a high level of achievement in the Olympic Games, why did he come to the 400-meter race to find himself a defeat? Wouldn't it be better if you have been undefeated? If you know that you will lose, it is better to abstain earlier, at least you can keep your all-winning record and prestige.

But Chen Qiang came, he walked to the 400-meter final, and the only explanation is that Chen Qiang has the strength to win the championship!

"How did I realize this now!" The head coach of the U.S. team was a little annoyed.

"Chen Qiang, come on!"

A strange voice next to him came into the ears of the head coach of the American team, it was the shouts of Song Junfu and Liu Changchun, in the eyes of Americans, the unique pronunciation of Chinese is indeed a little strange, so that he can't understand.

This is different from the tone of the English voice, and it also irritates the American team.

Suddenly, the head coach of the U.S. team realized that he was upset not because of the pronunciation of Chinese, but because the U.S. team was about to lose the game again.

"I lost the 100m and the 200m, and now I have to lose even the 400m?" The head coach of the U.S. team clenched his fists, and he looked into the arena to spot Ben Iscaman and Bill Carr, but still sprinting wildly.

"My athletes haven't given up yet, how can I give up!"

The head coach of the U.S. team was shaken in spirit, and he, like Song Junfu and Liu Changchun, shouted at the track to cheer for his athletes.

The performance of the head coach of the U.S. team also infected the rest of the U.S. team, and they did the same thing, giving the sound of cheering themselves on the track with all their might.

……

is getting closer and closer to the finish line, and Chen Qiang is also squeezing his physical strength.

The 400-meter sprint was originally a sport that tested the limits of the body, and now Chen Qiang's body has indeed reached the limit.

Chen Qiang suddenly remembered last year's World Games, when he faced the "Chariot of Fire" Eric Lidill, he was also like today, he ran with all his strength, tried to give full play to his potential, and squeezed his physical strength cleanly.

In that game, Chen Qiang was full of desire for victory.

And today, Chen Qiang not only has a desire for victory in his heart, but also a firm belief.

"I chose the right path!" Chen Qiang remembered Kishi Kishi's visit and wooing in the morning, and he felt more and more that he was doing something very meaningful.

"So I should go on even more firmly!" Chen Qiang's eyes flashed with a wisp of persistence, and the four big words "winning glory for the country" appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that these four words were not as simple as they appeared, and in this special era, the four words "winning glory for the country" were also full of special meaning.

"For the whole country and the whole nation, this may be an era of suffering, but to win glory for the country, there is no need to distinguish between the ages! As athletes, our mission is to win glory for our country, no matter how difficult it is, no matter what the times! Chen Qiang suddenly had a hint of realization in his heart.

Getting closer and closer to the finish line, Chen Qiang's pace did not slow down in the slightest, and he even felt that he was doing a very great thing, which filled his heart with passion, which made his emotions start to be excited.

Chen Qiang seemed to have forgotten his physical fatigue and mental exhaustion, and the belief in his heart became more and more firm, he knew that what he had to do was to rush to the finish line as fast as possible and hit the finish line with his chest.

Chen Qiang didn't look back, he didn't look at the positions of the other five players, and he didn't pay attention to the chasing soldiers behind him. In Chen Qiang's mind, there was only himself on the field at this time, and the increasingly clear white collision line in front of him.

"Rush over!"

At the same time that this thought flashed through Chen Qiang's mind, he had already come to the finish line.

He held his head high and rushed over!

……

Ben Iscaman has given it his all and he can even confirm that his performance today will not be worse than when he broke the world record five months ago.

But he's still in a position to fall behind, not just behind Chen, but also behind Bill Carr.

Ben Iscaman has realised that he will only finish in third place and that he will not be able to catch up with the two competitors in front of him.

A sense of powerlessness rose in Ben Iskaman's heart, who had shown his best self and yet was still unable to overcome his opponents.

The skills are not as good as others, and the losses are not unjust.

The best version of yourself loses, which is very embarrassing!

In addition to Ben Iskaman, Bill Carr has also shown his best self, and he is still left behind by Chen Qiang.

Bill Carr was closer to Chen Qiang and closer to the finish line, so he watched Chen Qiang reach the finish line first, touched the white line first, and then pressed the line with his chest and continued to move forward.

"I lost?" A question arose in Bill Carr's mind, and he refused to accept this cruel outcome.

Winning a gold medal, breaking a world record, getting ahead, visiting the White House, accepting the president's banquet, achieving fame, and reaching the pinnacle of life, at this moment it is like a suddenly shattered mirror, completely in vain, and the fragments of the mirror also reflect Bill Carr's desperate face!

Losing to the Chinese became a reality, and then facing the ridicule of Eddie Tolan, a black man, Bill Carr felt that there was a herd of elephants walking over his self-esteem and trampling his self-esteem into a mess.

After crossing the finish line, Bill Carr won the silver medal, but there was no joy on his face, but an expression of doubt about life.

……

"Hey!"

A loud sigh resounded throughout the audience, and it was the voice of the audience.

400-meter dash, the American team loses again!

Compared to the previous 100 meters and 200 meters, this is perhaps even more unexpected.

"Why? Why did you lose even the 400 meters! ”

"Are our athletes really so bad? All three sprint events were lost. ”

"Sprinting is our American team's forte! Why can't you even get a gold medal! ”

“F**K！” (The following omits a few foul language)

There was a lot of commotion in the audience, and even some foul language came out, and people were venting their dissatisfaction.

Scolding and scolding, spraying and spraying, after venting, the audience in the stands gradually calmed down, the kind of cheering full of anticipation just now, and the swear words full of disappointment after the game, are also very physically exhausting, and the current audience also needs to rest.

At this point, the referee finally counted the results.

The first runner's time was 48.2 seconds, which was very average, and everyone didn't care about this passer-by.

"Second lane, 46.4 seconds!" The referee announced the second result.

The second runner is Ben Iscaman of the United States, who broke the 400m world record of 46.4 seconds five months ago, and he copied this world record in today's race, but this time it is no longer a world record!

Ben Iscaman shook his head helplessly, he tied the world record, which was already the best time he could run, but he still couldn't surpass the two in front of him.

"Ben Iscaman equaled his own world record, but only finished third, which means that the world record in the 400m has been broken!"

All eyes are on Bill Carr and Chen Qiang, both of whom are faster than Ben Iskaman, who are set to surpass the world record of 46.4 seconds.

Of course, more eyes are on Chen Qiang, because he is the first!

"Wait a minute, since the 400-meter world record has been broken, and that Chinese is the first placer, does it mean that he has won the championship again with a world record breaking result?"

This question was raised, but no one answered.

Because there is no need to answer, this is an undisputed answer!

Chen Qiang's fifth world record-breaking championship is coming!
