Chapter 482: The 100-meter record that has been broken again
21:30 p.m.
It was raining lightly inside Icahn Stadium, which had been raining since the afternoon, and at one point turned into moderate to heavy rain, affecting the normal course of today's New York Grand Prix.
Fortunately, after 20 o'clock, the rain finally subsided, and although there were some water stains on the running track on the ground and drizzle in the air, it basically did not affect the athletes' competition.
By this time, the entire audience had already stood up and nervously waited for the upcoming men's 100m race.
After the news that Yechin broke the men's 100m world record a week ago, many American track and field fans are looking forward to the sprinters from the United States.
Since Asafaville broke the Morris Green men's 100m record in '05, American athletes in the men's 100m have not been able to perform particularly well in the men's 100m in recent years.
Originally, Jax Thelin was still a top player who could compete with Asafavir, but after the outbreak of the drug ban, Jax Thelin was no longer bothered.
And Jason Gaby is currently the best and most likely to break the world record in the United States, and they are all looking forward to Jason Gaby's explosion, running under 9.80 seconds, winning the Olympic championship and winning the world record......
On the big screen, the list of Group A of the men's 100m race at the New York Grand Prix on May 31, 2008 has appeared in front of everyone:
First Lane, Monzavo-Edwards, USA;
Second Way, Sean Crowder, USA;
Third Lane, Davis Patton, USA;
Fourth Lane, Yusse Bote, Jamaica;
Fifth Way, Jason Gaby, USA;
Sixth Way, Michael Rogers, USA;
Seventh Lane, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;
Eighth Lane, Leroy Dixon, USA;
Although the men's 100m event at this year's New York Grand Prix was divided into Group AB, the focus was largely on Group A, which included Jason Gaby, the nation's No. 1 in the 1200m, and Jamaica's Usher Bote, who had just run an astonishing 9.76 seconds this year.
For the result of 9.76 seconds, many people in the United States still don't believe it, especially some people in the track and field world, who have even ridiculed the level of the Jamaica Invitational Tournament and the lack of formality in the media.
There is also a lot of news about Ye Qin breaking the world record in the track and field open, but they don't believe that Ye Qin can do it, or they are skeptical about the results.
It's the pride and prejudice of a track and field powerhouse, so a lot of people were watching today's game and wondering if the Jamaican was as strong as the Asafavir before him.
In the athletic field, the rain has stopped, and although the ground is a little wet, the good drainage system has not accumulated any water, and everyone is waiting for it.
Jason Gaby stood in front of the starting line of lane 5, staring straight at the finish line in front of him, not looking at Euse Bot next to him, although he was watching the men's 100m in 9.76 seconds, but many times he actually felt a little unbelievable.
He was now thinking of Yechin, who had set a new world record in the men's 100m, with a time of 9.73 seconds, one hundredth of a second faster than the best Al-Safavir had ever set.
This is a very scary number, calculated at the moment, there are only four or five athletes who can run at the legal wind speed of 9.80 seconds, and there is no him in it.
He had enough confidence in Yechin and Yusse Bote, after all, Yechin was not much faster than him in the men's 100m last year, and he was even better than Yechin and Yusse Bot in the best time of the men's 200m.
However, he can see that since last year's World Championships in Osaka, Yusse Bot has changed a lot.
Not to mention anything else, it is a separate appearance, and the fact that Yusse Bot is standing next to him at this time can already bring him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Compared to last year's World Championships in Osaka, the lines of Yusse Both's body muscles are far less clear than they are now, and the whole person is now like a streamlined cheetah in terms of height and size, strong and powerful, and every muscle seems to be full of explosive power.
With such a height and such a body type, especially Jason Gaby and Yusse Bot who have played again, it is obvious that you can feel the changes that have taken place in Yusse Bour in the past six months or so.
“On your marks!”
The starter on the sidelines shouted the command that the player was in position.
In the sound of the live broadcast, the host gently booed, guiding the entire stadium into a quiet atmosphere.
In front of the starting line, the eight runners slowly leaned down and squatted, and the reporters of FOX TV on the sidelines watched every move of the runners in front of the starting line.
Jason Gaby still has his trademark index fingers raised and pointed to the sky, as if to mark that he will be number one. Yousse-Both, on the other hand, leaned over and stepped on the runner, touched the cross around his neck, looked at the sky, drew ten on his chest, and prayed silently.
“SET!”
Syllable!
A clear match gun rang out.
In front of the starting line, eight runners galloped out like wild horses.
The third Davis Barton started very fast, the American athlete is very close to Jamaica's Asafavil in height and size, and he started to accelerate to learn from the opponent's explosive start, and rushed out of the starting line at the moment of the gunshot, and grabbed a certain starting advantage in just a few steps.
But at this moment, he felt the fourth wave beside him suddenly sweep like a hurricane, and the unusually tall black Jamaican athlete seemed to be speeding up and soon overtaking him.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......
Jason Gaby has been training for a long time at the start, and now he is basically not much weaker than the other competitors, and in the first three steps of the start, he was still able to keep up with Usse Bot next to him, but after three steps, between 10 and 20 meters, he noticed that Euse-Bot was gradually moving away from him.
His cadence was fast and he was rapidly increasing his pace, but the stride of Eusse Bott next to him was so impressive that almost twenty metres later, Euse Bott caught up with Davis Barton, who had just started the fastest to accelerate, and ran to first place.
Thirty meters, Yusse Bot was clearly ahead of the rest of the competitors and was picking up his speed as he raced towards the finish line.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
The speed of the athletes on the field gradually increases to the highest level.
"Damn, how could it be so fast?!"
Jason Gaby gritted his steel teeth, the green tendons on his neck and forehead all bulged, and after thirty meters his speed gradually increased, after Yusse Bot took the lead, he was the only one who followed, following Yusai Bote, but he found that after he was overtaken by Yusey Bot in the first half, no matter how his speed increased, the gap between the two was widening, and he was not getting closer.
Jason Gaby remembers the race against Asafavil very well, also falling behind after the start, but in the second half of the fifty or sixty metres, he was always able to gradually increase his speed and then slowly approach his opponent and finally overtake him.
But Yusse-Bot ......
In the face of Yusse Both, it was obvious that there was no way to do this, he was trying hard to accelerate, improving his speed, but the distance between the two on the track was always maintained, and even further expanded, and they could not get close at all.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......
The audience was already boiling.
Rush the line!
The banner in front of the 100-meter finish line was first broken by Yusse Both, who only glanced at the timing board on the sidelines, and then he spread his arms and sped up on the track and field without slowing down.
Many Jamaicans in the United States shouted even louder, and even many American spectators couldn't help but applaud the Jamaican athlete in the white sprint suit who ran first.
It's so fast!
Ahead of everyone else, and by a wide margin!
But now none of that is the point, the point is ......
Yousse Bol has broken the world record again!
The chronograph board shows a time of 9.72 seconds!
The new world record, the 100-meter world record of 9.73 seconds, was broken again in just a week!
