Chapter 96: The final begins

Inside the athletes' lounge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin, two teammates from the U.S. track and field team, are half-lying in two positions close to each other, receiving a massage from a physiotherapist.

"Hey! Justin, you look really good today. Tyson Gay smiled and said to Gatling beside him.

"Yes, Tyson, I feel empowered all over me right now." Since Gatlin ran a good time of 9.82 seconds in the semifinals, ranking first among the eight competitors in the finals, he also accepted Tyson Gay's "compliments" as ordered.

Hearing Gatling's affirmation of his point, Tyson Gay said excitedly, "Oh! That's great! You might be able to defeat that 'big guy' today. ”

The "big guy" in Tyson Gay's mouth undoubtedly refers to today's "king of sprinting" - Usain Bolt. The reason why Bolt is called "The Big Guy" is obviously because of his tall stature, which is different from the average sprinter.

Theoretically, though, the longer and the longer the stride, the better the sprinter's speed. However, from a practical point of view, if an athlete is too tall, it will inevitably affect his frequency of running and his body coordination. Therefore, the vast majority of top sprinters are basically between 1.70 meters and 1.83 meters tall.

And a top athlete like Usain Bolt, who is more than 1.90 meters tall, has excellent physical coordination, and runs as often as his shorter opponents, is probably unique in the entire world of athletics.

It is precisely because of such a "perverted" physical talent that Bolt was able to dominate the world for several years in the 100-meter sprint event with an absolute advantage after his debut.

After listening to Tyson Gay's words, Gatlin nodded confidently and said, "That's right, man." Judging from this guy's tragic performance in the semifinals, he almost lost to the Chinese kid......" After a slight pause, Gatlin continued: "Tonight is the best chance to regain the long-lost dominance of our American team in the 100-meter sprint from his hands!" ”

Looking at the confident Gatlin, Tyson Gay's heart also rose, a strong desire to defeat Bolt and regain the sprint supremacy for the American team.

"That's right! We must defeat that 'big guy' today......"

――――――

August 5, 21:50 local time, August 6, 4:50 Beijing time.

Eight athletes competing in the men's 100m final at the London Olympics slowly walked onto the track. Immediately, the host of the scene began to introduce the participating athletes.

"Track 1: Asafa Powell...... Track 2: Kurandi Martina ......"

When Usain Bolt was introduced, the host's voice was noticeably higher than before: "The third track is from the sprinting kingdom of Jamaica, known as the 'King of Sprinting', Usain - Bo-El-Te-!" ”

Under the "drive" of the host, the London Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators, also suddenly boiled. The spectators in the stands erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers, as if Bolt was their real king at this time.

The next moment, I saw the "king" Bolt on the 100-meter track, as if he was standing on a high castle tower, accepting the worship of his subjects, smiling and waving to the almost crazy spectators in the stands.

After seeing that Bolt was treated like a king, the young Feng Quan was really jealous, so he complained in his heart: "Hmph! If you really are the king, then I will be the rebellious knight who took the king off his horse today......"

Next, the host of the scene introduced in more detail, Justin Gatlin, Joan Blake and Tyson Gaye, these three players are likely to become the roadblocks on Bolt's road to winning the championship.

However, when introducing these three athletes, it is clear that the passion for introducing Bolt is missing.

Immediately after that, it was the turn of the 7th track to be the wind full.

Obviously, even if Feng Quan's strong performance in the semi-finals shocked the "King of Sprinting" Bolt into a cold sweat, but in the eyes of the on-site host, Feng Quan can only become the foil of this 100-meter trapeze battle after all. So, on the radio in the stadium, his slightly cold voice came out again:

"Seventh Circuit, Fengquan, China. The Chinese athlete's time of 9.91 seconds in the semi-finals broke the Asian record held by him. ”

"Wow! It's not easy! Finally said a little more when introducing me. At this point, Lao Tzu must also show you a championship......"

―――――――

When the referee on the scene issued the command "onyourmarks", Feng Quan immediately used the two skills of [Viagra] and [Perpetual Heart].

Immediately afterwards, when the referee issued the "set" command again, the eight athletes participating in the men's 100-meter final were like loaded bullets, ready to "catapult" at any time.

"Bang!"

As the referee fired the starting pistol, the final of the men's 100m at the London Olympics finally began.

―――――――

Perhaps because of the excitement before the start of the race, Feng Quan's start was not as good as the first two rounds, and his reaction time of 0.159 seconds was only the fourth place among the eight participating athletes.

In the first two rounds of the race, Bolt's performance in the starting stage was not very ideal, but he improved a little bit compared to before. His reaction time of 0.165 seconds, although still second to Feng Quan, was still better than the 0.18 seconds he had in the semi-finals. Perhaps, this difference of less than 0.02 seconds is not enough time for a human to blink an eye, but in many cases, even a difference of only 0.01 seconds is enough to determine the final victory or defeat of a 100-meter race.

The fastest Dutch athlete Kurandi Martina (0.139 seconds reaction time) at the fastest start, only maintained a "lead" of 5 meters before being overtaken by the "seven behind him" and instantly slipped to the last place......

After 30 meters, when Martina really saw that he had been surpassed by everyone at this time, he couldn't help but cry out in his heart: "Oh, no! Even that yellow-skinned Chinese surpassed me...... Am I really going to have to accept the fate of being the last one......"
