Chapter 114: The Wind

With a shot from the referee, the last event of the first day of the decathlon, the last group of the 400-meter race, began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the start of the race, Feng Quan rushed out of the starting line with a starting reaction time of 0.137 seconds, and the first one without any suspense. Ukrainian athlete Oreksei Kasyanov finished the start with a reaction time of 0.143 seconds, followed by Feng Quan.

Ashton Eaton, the team's strongest competitor, was second to last in the group with a reaction time of 0.179 seconds.

However, due to the difference of 8.168 meters between the starting lines of the two adjacent tracks, at the start of the race, the wind in the 5th track was more than 16 meters behind Eaton in the 7th track.

Therefore, with his strong strength and the "advantage" of the lane, after the first corner stage, Eaton not only successfully rushed to the front of the team, but also led Feng Quan, the "king of new sprints", by nearly 15 meters.

Eaton, who was the first to enter the first straight stage, turned his head to look behind him, and he couldn't help but feel happy because of the "competitive" wind in the corner.

Because compared with several other athletes who have not yet completed the cornering stage, there is a certain gap in Fengquan's cornering skills. It is for this reason that Feng Quan, who has a clear advantage in speed, only shortened the gap between himself and Eaton by less than two meters after the first corner.

"Humph! What if you're faster than Usain Bolt right now? In the 400m event, you still can't beat me......"

――――――

"Hey! Compared with those world's top masters, there is still a gap in Daquan's cornering skills......" Yue Wenjun, who was sitting in the stands, said to Liu Jianjun beside him helplessly.

"Hehe, Brother Yue, don't be too greedy! If Daquan's cornering skills are as powerful as his speed, I'm afraid that the Tianguan Center will really want him to change his event and specialize in sprinting. Liu Jianjun said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yue Wenjun looked at Liu Jianjun with some doubts.

"Brother Yue, if Daquan's cornering skills can really reach the world level, with his current speed ability, will he be able to participate in the 200-meter or even 400-meter race like Bolt?" After a slight pause, Liu Jianjun continued: "You and I both know very well that there are only a few track and field athletes in China who have the strength to reach the podium in the world championships. Among these people, Feng Quan is a very small number of athletes who also participate in the Olympic Games. If Daqo's cornering skills continue to improve and he can run within 45.60 seconds (400m national record: 45.25 seconds) in the 400-meter event, I suspect that the (field management) center will consider allowing Daqo to participate in the 400-meter event in the future, or even participate in the 200-meter race at the same time. If this is the case, do you think Feng Quan still has the time and energy to compete in the decathlon again? ”

In fact, the reason why Liu Jianjun said this was not because he didn't want to see Fengquan's "progress", but because he was completely from Yue Wenjun's point of view. Although Feng Quan won the Olympic championship in the 100-meter event, it has a lot to do with his guidance in sprinting skills, but if it were not for Yue Wenjun's "persistence" in the previous years, I am afraid that Feng Quan would not know what he is doing now.

Therefore, in Liu Jianjun's view, if one day there is a situation where Feng Quan has to give up the decathlon because he has to participate in multiple sprint events at the same time, it is undoubtedly very unfair to Yue Wenjun. Who would want to see a "child" who was raised by himself become someone else's disciple after "becoming famous"......

However, what Liu Jianjun didn't expect was that after he said those words, Yue Wenjun's face was not the slightest displeasure, but he also saw a faint smile.

"Hehe, Xiao Liu, I know you're thinking about me, but you still don't know what kind of person Brother Yue and I am! Although your brother-in-law is not highly educated, he is definitely a reasonable person, especially in the face of national interests. Yue Wenjun said with a smile. If Daquan really has the strength in the future and wins a few more medals or even gold medals in the sprint events of the World Series, it will be too late for me to be happy for him. Moreover, I know this kid best in my heart, he is a person who values love and righteousness, so even if he becomes someone else's 'apprentice' in the future, my position in his heart will always be the most important......"

Before Yue Wenjun could finish speaking, the emotions of the audience around him suddenly boiled.

"Oh, mygod! The speed of that Chinese is really like a gust of wind......"

――――――

Originally, at the end of the first corner, the Ukrainian athlete Oreksey Kasyanov, who was still "ahead" of the wind by four or five meters, was overtaken by the wind after entering the first straight stage for more than 30 meters.

Although Feng Quan, who is the new Olympic 100-meter champion, is not uncommon to surpass Kasyanov on the straight track, it only took more than 30 meters to recover the gap between the two of them by four or five meters, and it still shocked all the people in the field who had been watching the decathlon today.

You know, in the first 100-meter race, Kasyanov also ran a good time of 10.56 seconds (961 points).

Kasyanov, who was instantly killed by the wind, continued to run forward, and his face also showed a mixture of helplessness and embarrassment. Even if you are unwilling, what can you do?

"It seems that this Chinese kid was able to beat that guy Bolt, and it wasn't just luck. But I'm not going to let you beat me so easily! ”

The next moment, Kasyanov, who was a member of the "fighting nation", ran a little faster with his feet as the "fighting spirit" in his heart gradually became stronger.

However, although Kasyanov had done his best at this time, in the eyes of others, his performance seemed to be just a "** silk" driving a Russian-made car, and trying in vain to catch up with the local tyrant who drove a Ferrari sports car.

In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, no matter how powerful the "Spiritual Victory Method" is, it is meaningless. Otherwise, the "great" DPRK would have dominated the world long ago......

――――――

Just as he was about to enter the second corner, he was on track 8 and entered the first straight stage, still "ahead" of the wind 13 or 4 meters away, and Russian athlete Sergei Sviridov was also overtaken by the wind.

At this point, only Ashton Eaton, who is in the lead, is still not surpassed by the wind.

Although after the first straight stage, after entering the second corner stage, Eaton was only seven or eight meters ahead of Feng Quan. If it continues to run at this pace, there will be basically no problem for the wind to overtake Eaton.

In this way, Feng Quan's probability of maintaining his lead and winning the final championship in the second day of the race will undoubtedly increase a lot.

However, what is surprising is that Eaton, who should have felt great pressure, not only did not see the slightest nervousness and worry on his face, but also showed a hint of cunning...... (To be continued.) )
