Anyone who knows a little about athletics knows that before the wind is all around, as long as there is a race in the 100-meter field, as long as Bolt plays, the rest of the remaining athletes will almost have to fight for the second place.

However, at that time, Bolt's overall strength was significantly higher than that of his competitors, but if you carefully analyze it from a technical point of view, he was not one of the "near-perfect" sprinters. Because, compared to the middle run and the final sprint, his performance in the starting stage is a shortcoming.

Even without mentioning the world's top first-class sprinters such as Gatlin, Blake, and Tyson Gay, many second- and even third-rate sprinters in sprinting events performed better than the former king of sprinting, Usain Bolt.

That's right, although Bolt at that time was able to crush many competitors with his powerful mid-way run and the final sprint that was almost against the sky, he won the world championship one after another, and at the same time challenged the limit of human speed again and again.

However, when there was a wind in the world of athletics, this monster who was not inferior to Bolt in the middle of the race, and even more against the sky in the sprint stage, Bolt's weakness in the starting stage was clearly reflected.

In fact, many people in the European and American sports circles are very worried about the fact that Feng Quan, a "yellow-skinned guy", is actually the fastest person in the world. Therefore, in order to be able to balance their psychology to some extent, they have vigorously advocated an argument this year, that is, if Bolt can improve his starting skills, as long as he can not belong to the Chinese in the race, he may regain the throne of the king of sprinting.

Perhaps, it is really influenced by people in the European and American sports circles, since 2013, both Bolt himself and his coaching team have put the practice of starting skills in a very important position in their daily training.

In order to improve Bolt's starting technique as quickly as possible, Glenn Mills even increased the practice time of starting technique by almost half in some phases of training. Even in a relatively small amount of time, he spends at least a third of his training time practicing his starting technique.

Anyone who has ever been a sprint coach knows that the first 20 meters of a 100-meter run are the process by which an athlete moves from a stationary state of preparation to an accelerated run, and then prepares for the rest of the race.

Before 2013, Bolt didn't put much effort into the practice of the starting stage, after all, he was able to crush his competitors with his powerful mid-range runs and sprints against the sky. As a result, his fastest reaction time at the start was close to 0.17 seconds in all races. And in the starting stage, even in the face of some second-rate competitors in the world, he can hardly take the lead.

Even if Bolt was considered to be the best start of the race, the race in which he set the world record of 9.58 seconds, he was only in a position to go toe-to-toe with Tyson Gay, and he was considered to be "ahead" in the starting stage of a summit matchup. Even though it was Bolt's best performance in the first 20 meters, it took him almost 2.6 seconds. In other words, in the last 80 meters of that race, Bolt only took about 7 seconds, what a terrifying result!

Because of this, those guys in the European and American sports circles who are not accustomed to seeing the Chinese "stepping on their heads" will stubbornly believe that if it were not for Bolt's relative weakness in the starting link, it would be difficult for the wind to ascend to the throne of the king of sprinting.

In the past six months, in order to be able to devote more energy and time to training, except for the World Championship trials in Jamaica and the events required by sponsors, Bolt has rarely played in some highly commercial competitions.

As the saying goes, "hard work always pays off", and Bolt's hard work finally gave him hope of defeating Feng Quan to regain the throne of Speed again. After several months of highly targeted and hard training, it is still obvious through statistical comparison with previous data.

In terms of the most criticized starting reaction time in the past, Bolt has been able to maintain this time at around 0.15 seconds without making mistakes. Even the best one was a 0.139-second reaction time from the start.

Don't underestimate this improvement of about 0.02 seconds, in the battle between the world's top sprinters, there will even be a possibility of winning or losing by 0.01 or even 0.001 seconds. Therefore, even a 0.01 second improvement will be very important to sprinters.

Improving Bolt's starting reaction time is just one aspect of improving his starting phase. In fact, the most critical point to improve Bolt's starting link is the connection and transition from the start to the acceleration link.

Anyone who knows a little about sprinting knows that the taller the athlete is, the more difficult it is to transition from start to sprint. This is because the most important thing about the body's sudden transition from a stationary state to a running state is the body's coordination and balance. And this, for those athletes who are relatively short in stature, is undoubtedly very advantageous. It is precisely because of this that Bolt's weakness in the starting link.

In order to overcome Bolt's physical "defect", Bolt's team hired a sports science team from the United States at a high price to help them overcome this difficulty through scientific means.

Through the scientific data analysis of Bolt's body, the American team finally tailored a set of starting techniques for Bolt after a series of exchanges and communications with Bolt's coaching team, which they thought was the most suitable starting technique.

Bolt, who practiced according to this new scheme, made a real improvement in the starting stages. In the first 20 meters, he has been able to control the time relatively steadily to about 2.5 seconds. In some cases, it took only about 2.4 seconds to complete the first 20 meters.

In today's race, Usain Bolt finally began to show the world that he has the ambition to regain the throne of the king of speed.

"You think I'm talking big and bragging? Well, I'll tell you all to shut up. ”

"Bang!"

With the referee's starting gun, the men's 100m preliminary group 4 competition began.

Almost at the same moment as the starting gun was fired, the crowd at the Luzhniki Stadium was stunned to see that Usain Bolt, who was once known as Jamaican lightning, was the first to cross the starting line like an arrow from a string.

Just 25 metres later, Usain Bolt, who was in the top position, had already established a clear lead.

At this time, whether it was the spectators sitting in the stands of the Luzhniki Stadium, or the countless people waiting in front of the TV and computer to follow the game, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: "Damn, is this still the weak start Bolt...... 2k reading web
