"I'd like to say sorry to all the people in the audience and in front of the TV, because I made a mistake to you not long ago. A minute ago, I learned from the on-site staff that in the men's 100m semi-finals group 5 competition that had just ended, the wind direction was downwind and the wind speed reached 2.3 m/s. ”

"Therefore, although Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt set an astonishing time of 9.53 seconds, it cannot be recognized as a new world record because he did so in conditions of extreme wind speed."

As soon as the on-site commentator's words fell, there were bursts of sighs from several areas in the stands. While most of the spectators in the stands were Russian bears, as well as spectators from Europe and Asia, few were from the Americas and the Caribbean. However, for those who love athletics, it is also a joy to see a new world record in a certain sport.

Of course, while most viewers lament that Bolt's excellent results did not break the world record, there are also some who are either happy or shocked.

Thankfully, it was the Russian woolly bears who made "racist" remarks about Jamaicans before the race; It was Bolt's rivals and the tournament officials and coaches in their respective countries who were shocked. Among them, the most shocked, and even worried, were the officials and coaches from the Chinese delegation.

For Chinese track and field, which is far from reaching the world-class level in terms of overall strength, Feng Quan's achievements in the past two years are not only Chinese track and field to promote their business cards to the outside world, but also to get a lot of political achievements for relevant project leaders. Moreover, due to the overwhelming strength shown by Feng Quan in the men's 100m event in the past two years, coupled with the gradual trend of "declining competitive state" in the older Bolt, the Chinese track and field team has already decided that the gold medal in the men's 100m event is in their own pocket before coming to Moscow to compete.

Yes, because of the super wind speed, Bolt's time of 9.53 seconds was not officially recognized, but even so such a result is quite amazing.

There was once a study on the 100-meter sprint in a sports college in China, if an athlete runs the whole distance in a windless state for 10 seconds, then under the condition of 2 m/s downwind, his time will be about 9.84 seconds; Similarly, if he had been on a headwind of 2 m/s, he would have dropped to about 10.16 seconds.

Although there are some questions about the authority of this study, after all, each athlete's physical condition is different, so the assistance that can be obtained in the event of excessive wind speeds is also different. However, at a downwind of 2 m/s, the athlete's performance will be improved by at least about 0.1 seconds, which is still recognized by most industry insiders.

In other words, even if the wind speed is not exceeded during the race, Bolt has a high probability of running within 9.60 seconds, and even surpassing the world record of 9.56 seconds held by Feng Quan.

Because Feng Quan participated in many events at this World Championships, it was difficult for him to achieve the most subversive competitive state when participating in the 100m race. As a result, Feng Quan, the current "king of speed", may find it difficult to take advantage of the direct confrontation with Bolt.

Therefore, when the coaches of the Chinese track and field team, especially those in charge of the sprint events, saw Bolt's excellent performance in the rematch, they were worried about Fengquan's prospect of winning the championship.

Even the old American El Carris, who had always thought that no one could shake the hegemony of the wind in the 100m event, had to re-examine the current strength of the Jamaicans because of Bolt's excellent performance.

Perhaps, the current Jamaican Lightning really has the ability to regain the throne of the 'King of Speed'. Moreover, if you compare the current competitive state of the two, Bolt may have a slight advantage.

"Hey, I'm afraid the road to the championship of the wind will really be full of thorns."

…………

Originally, when the on-site commentator announced that the "Jamaican Lightning" had set a new world record with a time of 9.53 seconds, Bolt, who was being interviewed by Jamaica's own reporters on the track, immediately had an excited expression on his face.

Although Bolt, who has been famous for many years, has won countless honors, but because of the wind that came out of nowhere, he stole a lot of limelight, and the amazing performance of "breaking the world record" again naturally made the Jamaican lightning feel extremely excited.

Media reporters from other countries who did not pay much attention to today's 100-meter semi-race quickly gave Bolt the excitement on the track after hearing the good news broadcast by the on-site commentator.

However, just a few minutes later, just as journalists from all over the world were congratulating Bolt and expecting the Jamaicans to achieve another great result in the final, a less "harmonious" voice came from the mouth of the on-site commentator.

So, Bolt, who was still smiling and enjoying the praise of reporters from all over the world a moment ago, couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard that the excellent time of 9.53 seconds he had just set could not be recognized as a new world record because of the "damn super wind speed".

Fortunately, the reporters from various countries who were interviewing Bolt were still familiar with each other, and after expressing regret for his "unfortunate encounter", they said goodbye to him and left.

After returning to the hotel room with his mentor Glenn Mills, Bolt, who was a little depressed, finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "What the hell, why is it always windy in this damn weather in Moscow?" I swear to God, I don't want to come to this damn place again. ”

Although his excellent form in the race gave Bolt a good chance of winning the title, he was still unhappy with the fact that his excellent results could not be recognized as a new world record due to the weather.

"Hehe, take it easy. Your most important goal now is to beat that Chinese kid at this World Championships and show everyone that the king of sprinting that once ruled is back. Glenn Mills smiled and reassured.

"Of course I do, Glenn. I believe that with my current form, I will be able to easily beat that Chinese kid in the competition. After a pause, Bolt continued: "However, if I don't break the world record held by that kid, even if I beat him in this competition, I'm afraid others will still think that he is the real 'king of speed', and I just beat him when he was not in good shape." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Glenn Mills' face suddenly became a little stern.

"You're right. However, I would like to warn you that if you are too obsessed with breaking the world record in the race, you may end up with the opposite result. You now have to let go of the idea that you can only break the world record and make winning the race a priority. ”

"You can only think about breaking the world record if you have beaten all your opponents. And I believe that as long as you can really be distracted and give full play to your strength, the goal of breaking the world record will be a matter of course. Don't forget, you've been training for under 9.55 seconds on several occasions in recent months......"
