Chen Qiang's first appearance in the Olympic high jump competition, without any hesitation, directly used the technique of back-to-back.

Chen Qiang easily crossed the height of 1.70 meters, but in exchange for the silence of the audience.

The back-to-back technique, a high jump technique that has never appeared before, is precisely because everyone has never seen it, and this child will react.

Surprised, dazed, novel, all kinds of expressions appeared on people's faces, and then all kinds of noisy voices sounded, and discussions sounded from all directions, and the Berlin Olympic Stadium instantly became like a classroom during recess.

"Am I mistaken, Chen Qiang crossed the crossbar with his back to him!"

"You read that right, it's really a back-to-back across the crossbar!"

"Can you jump like this? Lying down and jumping over? ”

"What a strange posture, it's the first time I've seen this kind of jump!"

"It's a strange pose, but it's definitely a new high jump technique."

"What I want to know now is, how effective is this jump, will it be better than the prone pose?"

"It's definitely not as good as a prone position, if you have your back to the crossbar, you can't see the crossbar there, and it's easy to touch the crossbar!"

At this time, the audience did not give Chen Qiang applause and cheers because of Chen Qiang's success in this attempt, on the contrary, they began to discuss Chen Qiang's new technology.

That's why it's only in Germany that there are so many spectators discussing the new high jump technology.

Germany already has a strong sports atmosphere, Germans are very involved in sports, and people know a lot about sports. Moreover, Germany now implements the militarization of sports, emphasizing physical training from elementary school, and track and field is the most basic event in sports, and high jump is the most basic project in track and field, and Germans also began to learn high jump from an early age. It is no exaggeration to say that every German knows something about high jump.

Therefore, when Chen Qiang used the back-to-back technique, Germany immediately discovered that the high jump technique used by Chen Qiang was completely different from what they had known before, which was an unprecedented high jump technique.

If it were a country with underdeveloped sports, Chen Qiang's new technology would certainly not cause so much discussion. For example, in China in the thirties, ordinary people didn't even understand the rules of high jump, let alone any prone or back-to-back techniques.

……

The audience showed strong interest in a new high jump technique, while the athletes on the sidelines had solemn expressions. As athletes, their perception of the back-to-back technique is definitely different from that of ordinary spectators.

"Did you see that? Chen Qiang jumped with his back to the crossbar. Ralph Metcalfe asked.

Jesse Owens nodded: "I see it, it's a new technology. ”

"Do you see it clearly? How the hell did he do it? Ralph Metcalfe then asked.

Jesse Owens shook his head: "No, when Chen Qiang jumped up just now and pointed his back to the crossbar, I was only surprised in my heart, and my mind was even more blank, and I didn't see his movements clearly at all." ”

"Do you think this technique is better than the prone position?" Ralph Metcalfe then asked.

Jesse Owens thought about it seriously and replied, "I don't know. Just 1.70 meters high, which is not enough to prove the effect of this new technology with its back to the crossbar. However, it is certain that this technique requires a lot of practice, because with your back to the crossbar, you can't judge the position of the crossbar with your eyes, which makes it easier to touch the crossbar, so it takes more practice. ”

"You're right, and at the same time, this also shows that Chen Qiang's new technology is not a temporary idea, he has been practicing for a long time, since he dares to use it in the Olympic Games, maybe for him, this is already a mature technology." Ralph Metcalfe spoke.

Jesse Owens didn't speak, but his expression was one that agreed with Metcalfe's point. After all, this is an Olympic competition, and it is impossible for a high-level athlete like Chen Qiang to use an immature technique in such an important arena.

Ralph Metcalfe continued: "It reminds me of the long jump competition at the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, when Chen Qiang also came up with new technology. In today's high jump competition, Chen Qiang used new technology again. Different sports, but able to develop new techniques, in this respect, he is indeed a talented athlete! ”

Jesse Owens pouted unconvinced: "Even if I don't have so many strange skills, I can still win him!" ”

Ralph Metcalfe had a helpless smile on his face, and he also knew that Owens was not bragging, Owens' physical fitness could indeed be strong enough to ignore technology.

Just three months ago, Owens broke the long jump world record held by Chen Qiang, and Owens did not use any advanced long jump technology, but used the most primitive squatting style to take off.

Thinking of this, Metcalfe couldn't help but look at Owens with envious eyes, and sighed in his heart: "Jesse, this guy, his physical fitness is really a good pervert!" ”

……

The emergence of a new high-jump technology has surprised everyone and caused heated discussions, but the effect of the new technology has yet to be verified.

The height that Chen Qiang jumped just now was only 1.70 meters, although Chen Qiang jumped very easily, but it was not enough to prove the advancement of the back-crossing technique, after all, so far, no athlete has been stumped by the height of 1.70 meters. Other athletes use the technique of prone and skip 1.70 meters as well.

At this time, Chen Qiang also knew that even if he used the back-crossing technique, other athletes would be suspicious of this new technology, and only when Chen Qiang used the back-crossing technique to cross a good height, this technique would be truly accepted by the athletes, and then imitated and studied by many high jumpers.

Speaking of being imitated, Chen Qiang is not worried that other athletes will come to steal the teacher.

The high jump competition of the Berlin Olympics, the qualifying round in the morning and the final in the afternoon, decided the winner in one day, the time was too short, and other athletes did not have time to steal the teacher even if they watched Chen Qiang use the back-to-back style. So the Olympic gold medal in high jump, Chen Qiang is decided.

Then due to World War II, the Olympics will be suspended twice, and the next Olympics will be 12 years later, and there has been little development in sports in the past 12 years, and the world is busy fighting wars, and the back-to-back technology is unlikely to be widely spread.

And Chen Qiang's test jump just now was also reserved.

In the back-by-cross technique, athletes often use the arc running technique, that is, to take a J-shaped route when running, while other high jump techniques use a European-style straight line to run.

At a height of 1.70 meters, Chen Qiang didn't need to use the arc running technique, he directly used the straight running technique, and the purpose was not to expose the characteristics of the back-crossing technique too early.

The qualifying round for the high jump was briefly paused for a few minutes because Chen Qiang used new technology, and then resumed.

The 20 competitors in the second group all crossed the height of 1.70m, followed by 1.80m.

Chen Qiang once again chose PASS, for the current Chen Qiang, he can jump as little as possible if he can jump as little as possible, and he wants to hide the technical points of the back cross style as much as possible.

In the end, three athletes failed to cross the height of 1.80m and stopped at 1.70m.

The next height is 1.85 meters, and if you cross this height, you will advance to the final.

This is the promotion height that cannot be passed, so Chen Qiang once again stepped onto the field.

Unlike just now, this time everyone stared at Chen Qiang intently, and everyone wanted to take a closer look at what the new high jump technology looked like.

Chen Qiang still didn't use the arc running technique, he ran a straight line, came to the crossbar, jumped high, and then the set of back crossing techniques, easily crossed the crossbar, raised his head, inverted shoulders, stretched his body, straightened his chest, closed his legs, and landed on the mat after completing the whole set of movements.

At a height of 1.85 meters, Chen Qiang completed it very easily, and it was another success, and he also successfully advanced to the finals in the afternoon.

……

Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe finally saw Chen's movements clearly.

"Chen Qiang's movements are really smooth, without the slightest bit of mud and water. It seems that he has really practiced for a long time, and he should also use this new technique in the high jump final in the afternoon. Metcalfe commented.

"This new technology should be inferior to the prone one." Owens said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?" Metcalfe asked.

"With the new technology used by Chen Qiang, it is very important to control the timing of the jump. Since he is facing away from the crossbar, if he jumps too early, his body will fall to the crossbar prematurely, which will cause the jump to fail. If you jump too late, your body will hit the bar before you reach the highest point. The current height is only 1.85 meters, so the shortcomings of this technique have not yet been shown, and once you reach a height of about 2 meters, if the timing of the jump is slightly wrong, the attempt will fail. Owens explained.

"So according to what you mean, as long as the timing of the jump is just right, you can solve this technical shortcoming?" Metcalfe asked.

Owens shook his head: "The right time to jump, how can it be so easy!" It takes not only skill, but also luck, especially when it comes to a height of more than two meters, and the starting point is 1 cm closer or 1 cm farther than the optimal position, and the best time to take off will be missed. In a real game, it is impossible for our bodies to precisely control the error of 1 centimeter. ”

"So, Chen Qiang's technique, when it reaches a height of more than two meters, will definitely fail?" Metcalfe asked again.

"At the very least, there will be a very high probability of failure, unless he can solve the problem of the timing of the jump." Owens spoke.

Owens is a legendary athlete who not only has strong physical qualities, but also has an excellent understanding of athletics, and he can see at a glance one of the major shortcomings of the back-to-back technique.

The back-to-back technique is backed to the bar after jumping, and there are no eyes on the back of the person, so they can't see the situation behind them. If you can't see the crossbar, if the height is relatively low, it is easy to say, but if the height is relatively high, it is easy to hit the crossbar, and the chance of failure in the attempt will be very large.

In contrast, the prone technique is face-down, so you can see the position of the crossbar, and if the timing of the jump is not good, you can adjust the trajectory of the body in the air according to visual judgment to cross the crossbar.

Therefore, Owens made a judgment that Chen Qiang's use of the back-crossing technique is no problem at a relatively low altitude, but at a height of more than two meters, there will be frequent mistakes.

In the future, the way for athletes to solve the shortcomings of the back-crossing technique is the arc running technique. The arc run technique can provide a centripetal force to the body, so that the athlete will have an inward lean after the jump, which is conducive to the rotation of the body around the longitudinal axis during the take-off, so as to avoid premature reversal to the crossbar during the take-off.

……

After a lunch break, Chen Qiang once again came to the Berlin Olympic Stadium to participate in the 100-meter semi-final.

There are only 24 athletes left in the semi-finals, divided into four groups of six, with the top three in the group advancing to tomorrow's semi-finals, which means that half of the athletes will be eliminated in the semi-finals.

Chen Qiang was placed in the first group and will be the first to appear.

In addition to Chen Qiang, there are two strong players in this group, namely Dutch athlete Tinus Osendup and American athlete Frank Wickoff.

Frank Wickoff has previously been introduced as having won two Olympic gold medals in the 4x100m relay. Tinus Osendap, on the other hand, is known as the fastest white man in the world, and he also ran a time of 10.5 seconds in the preliminary race, which shows that he has a strong strength.

Chen Qiang, Tinus Osendap and Frank Wickoff have a clear advantage in quality, and the promotion is already a certainty.

But there is still a suspense in this group of games, that is, what kind of results Chen Qiang will run.

In the preliminary round in the morning, Jesse Owens used a time of 10.3 seconds to write a "battle letter" like Chen Qiang. Now that it is time for the rematch, Chen Qiang will inevitably respond.

In fact, Chen Qiang was also a little hesitant in his heart, after all, he had to participate in the high jump final next, so he didn't want to waste too much physical strength in the 100-meter rematch.

"Forget it, it's just a rematch, as long as you can qualify. The next high jump final is the key to today," Chen Qiang thought to himself.

The starter's gun rang out, but Chen Qiang did not fully exert his strength after the start.

Tinus Osendup and Frank Wickoff both noticed this, and since Chen Qiang did not use all his strength, the two also did not work hard, but followed Chen Qiang very tacitly to ensure their top three positions.

In the end, Chen Qiang ran another 10.5 seconds and qualified first in the group. Tinus Osendup and Frank Wickoff finished second and third respectively in 10.6 seconds.

……

"10 seconds 5, Chen Qiang still has reservations! Is he reserving his stamina for the high jump final? Metcalfe said with a smile.

Jesse Owens was unhappy, his battle letter had been sent to the door, but Chen Qiang didn't accept it.

In the second group of the next rematch, Jesse Owens appeared, and he vented all the anger in his heart on the court.

As a result, Owens was also a complete finisher, and when he crossed the finish line, he was a full five or six meters ahead of the second place.

"10 seconds 2!" The referee announced Jesse Owens' results.

In 10.2 seconds, Jesse Owens once again equaled the world record in the 100-meter dash!

The audience also realized this, and they looked at Jesse Owens with a shocked expression.

Sporadic applause rang out, almost negligible, and a cacophony of voices rang out in the audience, including some insulting words for black people.

After all, this is the Germany of 1936, a Germany that is preaching the superiority of the Aryan race, and a black athlete who achieves results here will not be praised, but will attract more hostility!

Although Owens did not understand German, he could tell from the tone and expressions of the audience, as well as the various gestures of contempt, that most of the audience here was not friendly to him.

In the next second, Owens suddenly raised his arms and made a gesture of celebration, he grinned, showed his big white teeth, and his face was full of smiles, looking very happy.

However, Chen Qiang could feel that Owens was not celebrating, but fighting back! Fighting back against the racists who discriminate against black people!

"The more you are discriminated against, the more you have to show that you are a better version of yourself, and Owens is such a stubborn guy." Chen Qiang shook his head with a smile, and then sighed: "But he did the right thing!" In the face of unfair treatment, if you can choose confrontation, then why choose to compromise! ”
