Chapter 97: Stalemate

Tyson Gay, who had already held his breath to defeat Usain Bolt, performed very well after the start of the game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With a reaction time of 0.145 seconds, he was second behind Kurandi Martina to cross the starting line.

After running less than 10 meters, Tyson Gay became the "frontrunner" among the eight athletes who participated in the 100-meter flyer showdown.

"Come on, Tyson, come on! If you can do it, you can do it! After taking the lead, Tyson Gay continued to increase the speed of his feet while cheering himself up in his heart.

Under the continuous effect of self-psychological suggestion, it can be clearly seen that Tyson Gay is running on the track at this time, and it seems that every step he takes is faster and more powerful than the previous one.

In this way, Tyson Gay, who has not been able to break through to 9.90 seconds for a long time, still maintains his position as the leader in the competition with today's top 100-meter dash superstars such as Bolt and Gatlin, until halfway through the race. In addition, there is always a gap of about 1 meter between the second place and the second place.

"It's amazing, it's a great feeling! I'm sure I'll be able to beat that 'big guy' today! ”

It's a pity that when Tyson Gay's heart, the scorching flame that longs to defeat Bolt, burned to the peak, it was instantly shattered by the cruel and ferocious "rain of reality".

After 60 meters, four opponents, including Usain Bolt and Gatlin, swept past Tyson Gay.

And Tyson Gay, who was overtaken by others, had no choice but to become the sad background emperor......

――――――

Even in fifth place at the start; Even after 40 metres, he overtook Martina, the weakest man, in fourth place, and you couldn't see a hint of worry on the face of the "King of Sprinters".

Usain Bolt, who has dominated the world sprint schedule for many years, has long been accustomed to the pattern: starting behind - then going all out - approaching the "leader" after 40 meters - gradually overtaking after 60 meters - establishing the lead after 80 meters and holding it all the way past the finish line. Such a "script" with no new ideas, with "acting skills" that is not inferior to that of an "Oscar-winning actor", has been repeated in major track and field events around the world in recent years.

If someone asks at this time: "What happened to the Chinese kid who rushed out in the semi-finals two hours ago and almost ruined the script written for the 'King of Sprints'?" ”

Bolt would have told him, "Hey, man! Forget that 'poor' Chinese kid. That scene just now was just a small episode that happened because I wanted to save my strength for this final. You see, even though these guys were 'pestering' me from the beginning of the race, after I ran 80 meters, it wasn't ...... again."

More than 80 meters later, just when Bolt, who was "full power", thought that he would once again perform the "script" that had no new ideas, he glanced at his left and right with the corner of his eye.

In the next moment, he was very surprised to find that on the 7th track, which was 3 tracks away from him, he had not been thrown away by himself. And it seems that there is always the possibility of surpassing yourself.

"Who the hell is that guy!? Is it ...... again?"

――――――

Perhaps it was because he ran a good time of 9.82 seconds in the semi-finals and saw the hope of defeating the "king of sprints", which made Justin Gatlin, who was temporarily "ranked first" after the semi-finals, a little too excited.

So much so that after the start of the race, Gatlin's reaction time of 0.178 seconds ranked second to last among the eight participating athletes.

However, Gatlin did a decent job of picking up speed after the start, quickly overtaking Kurandi Martina, who had the fastest start, and gradually closing the gap with Usain Bolt in fourth. And, after 40 meters, he also formed a neck-and-neck trend with Usain Bolt.

Although in the conversation with Tyson Gay, Gatlin appeared confident about the victory over Usain Bolt. However, he himself knows very well that in order to reserve strength for the final finals, the "king of sprints" in the semi-finals is at most in the last ten meters or so, and he has just exerted his full strength.

However, in that semi-final, when Gatlin saw that Feng Quan adopted the tactic of "sprinting early", thus "disrupting" Bolt's rhythm of the game, he was shocked by the "King of Sprinting" in a cold sweat. He felt that if he really wanted to "pull Bolt down" in the final, he had to use some "unconventional" means.

Otherwise, with his current strength, if he wants to defeat the other party, the possibility is no more than one percent.

So, after 55 meters, Gatlin entered the sprint stage early, just like the wind in the semi-finals.

"Bite him, bite him, for the sake of dignity as a sprinter, I must bite him here......"

With the firm belief in his heart as the support, Gatlin continued to increase the frequency of his feet, and tightly "entangled" the "king of sprinting" around him.

Usain Bolt moved up to third, followed by Gatlin in a tie for third; Usain Bolt surpassed all the opponents in front of him, and Gatlin was still "standing beside him......

However, just after 70 meters, when the "King of Sprints" raised his speed to the limit and began to sprint, Gatlin, who had already tried his best to "wrestle" with Bolt, finally could no longer keep up with the rhythm of the other party.

Not only that, but because Gatlin entered the sprint stage early after 55 meters. So after 80 meters, when it was already difficult to continue to maintain extreme speed, Gatlin was not only gradually widened by Bortra, but also overtaken by the two opponents behind him and slipped to the fourth position.

"Am I really going to lose to him again!? I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling......"

――――――

Even with Usain Bolt, who was "from the same school" and still won the men's 100m championship with a time of 9.75 seconds at the London Olympic Trials in Jamaica in June. But neither internationally nor the domestic sports media in Jamaica feel that the current Joan Blake has the strength to challenge Bolt's "king of sprints".

"He's still young, and just being on the podium in London is already a very commendable achievement" is the media's prediction of Joan Blake's prospects at the Olympics.

So, in the two games before the final, Blake, who felt that he was "flattened", held back his strength to prove in the London Olympics, "You are all wrong".

As a result, Blake's results in the first two races were all better than Bolt's, and many media outlets put him on the list of people who could cause some problems for the "King of Sprints" before the finals began.

However, it is the same as the truth that if the bowstring is stretched too tightly, it will break. Blake, who was too nervous, was in last place at the start of the final...... (To be continued.) )
