The second-best time ever was 37.10 seconds set by Jamaica, also at the Bird's Nest, when Jamaica set a world record of 37.10 seconds in the '08 Olympic final seven years ago. In the final of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the terrifying combination of Usain Bolt + Blake set a world record of 36.84 seconds.
Seven years later, the Jamaican team is still the same Jamaican team, and the only personnel change is that Flatt was replaced by the current Ashmead.
The Jamaican relay team that dominated the Bird's Nest in '08, Bolt, Powell, and Carter were among the members, and tonight the three brought the new Ashmead, who defended the sprint kingdom's honor in the 4*100m relay event, and the Jamaican team completed the fourth consecutive World Championship championship in this event.
However, unlike the one-shot Olympic final seven years ago, the Jamaican team won the World Championships final by 0.05 seconds.
Usain Bolt, Powell, Carter, Ashmead and the other four huddled together after winning the championship to celebrate the gold medal that won the gold medal in a narrow way.
Mr. Yang: "Congratulations to Usain Bolt for winning the first gold medal at this World Championships, it seems that he is very excited, and he made his signature lightning move. β
Usain Bolt was depressed for a week and was released tonight.
Liu Xiang's excitement has not subsided: "This is a high-level 4 x 100 final, Jamaica 37.18 seconds, China 37.23 seconds, the United States 37.39 seconds, the top three teams all ran within 37.40 seconds, which was unimaginable before." Canada finished in 4th place in 37.90 seconds, France in 5th place in 37.97 seconds, and five of the eight finalists ran under 38 seconds. β
On the runway, Du Ke put his hand on Su Bingtian's shoulder, found a support to slow down, and Zhang Peimeng and Xie Zhenye guarded the left and right. Four Chinese players waved to the crowd, and the audience cheered and applauded, and the four made history.
Mr. Yang: "Team USA is a seven-time champion of the men's 4x100 event at the World Championships, Jamaica has won three times in a row before tonight, and with tonight's championship, Jamaica has achieved four consecutive championships. The Chinese relay team, which advanced to the final of the World Championships for the second time in history, was able to grab a silver medal in the cruel competition of the crowd, which was not easy! Four lads made history as the Asian relay team won a medal in the relay event at the World Championships for the first time! "The best result was the Japanese team, who finished fourth in the men's 4x100 relay at the World Championships.
The Jamaican team celebrated the championship, the Chinese team could accept the precious silver medal, and the American team four looked frustrated.
Gatlin, Tyson Gaye, Rogers and Bromel were ambitious for gold, but Rodgers was overtaken by Duke in the closing stages, and they only won a bronze medal.
The nightmare for the U.S. team was not over, when the referee informed them: "Your fourth baseman took over the baton out of the relay zone, and your results are invalid, please be informed, thank you." β
The information on the big screen changed, and the third-place American team was adjusted to the bottom position, and their time of 37.39 seconds disappeared and was replaced by a DSQ --- canceled time. The British team also did not have a place in the rankings, with the DNF hanging behind the GBR --- unfinished race. The Canadians moved up to third with a surprise bronze medal as the team was ecstatic and raced around the field draped in the Maple Leaf flag.
βwhatοΌβ The four members of the U.S. team were instantly stunned, not satisfied with the bronze medal, right, this is good, the bronze medal is gone, there is nothing, and it is actually a foul!
"It's not fair, we have to complain!" Rogers yelled that he was the fourth member of the U.S. team, and the referee said that he went out of the relay zone when he took the baton, which violated the rules of the relay race, so the U.S. team's results were canceled.
"Mike, calm down and accept this reality." Gatlin gestured to the large screen, which was replaying Rogers' slow motion as he took over the baton.
I saw that Rodgers started too early, the pre-run step was large, and Tyson Gay had no energy when he rushed to the handover zone in the third base. Guy was a step slower, Rogers was a step faster, so Rogers didn't get the baton the first time, and by the time he reacted, the man had already run out of the relay zone, and he received Guy's baton at this time.
The length of the relay area in the relay run is 20 meters, and there is a relay area marker line on the track, and the runners can only complete the baton pass in this 20-meter relay area.
"Oh my God...... Oh God......" Rogers was speechless after watching the replay, and could only pray for forgiveness from God and his teammates.
"Mike, I'm slowing down when I hand over the baton, and I'm going to take the main responsibility." Tyson Gay comforted Rogers.
"Oh, I can't believe it's true......" Mike Rogers crouched on the ground, bitter and remorseful. He didn't look down on the bronze medal just now, but now he feels that it is better to have a card than nothing, and it is embarrassing to foul and cancel the score, and it is a very low-level mistake to receive the baton out of the relay area.
"Team USA fouled, they were disqualified! The Canadian team moved up to third. Mr. Yang was first surprised, and returned to normal after a few seconds: "The American team fouled again, and they finally didn't drop the baton, but they made a lower-level mistake and finished passing the baton out of the relay area." β
Liu Xiang: "Team supremacy is the core of the relay run, and the reason why the Jamaican team is so good is that in addition to Usain Bolt, their team cooperation is also very skillful, even better than the Chinese team." In seven or eight years, the Jamaican relay team hasn't changed much, Usain Bolt, Powell, Carter, this is the Iron Triangle, 12 years to join Blake, the last year or two to add Ashmead. The Jamaican team is very consistent, which guarantees their coordination proficiency. β
"Of course, our Chinese team did a very beautiful job, 37.23 seconds, only lost to Jamaica by 0.05 seconds, the more I look at the Chinese team's relay running results, the more excited I am, this is the fourth best result in history, the top three results in history are all created by Jamaica, but our result beats the United States to become the fourth best result in history, the second in the country, it's also exciting to think about."
Liu Xiang couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. On the field, Su Bingtian pointed to the American team not far away, and said to Du Ke: "Du Ke, look, why did Rogers of the United States squat on the ground and cry?" β
Du Ke held Su Bingtian's shoulder, looked at Rogers who couldn't stop crying, and couldn't bear it a little: "This is the way it is in the sports arena, some people are happy and some are worried, but it is actually quite cruel." But we can't help it, who made us choose to become professional athletes. β
Su Bingtian: "If I fouled and the whole team's results were invalidated, I might have cried ......"
"Don't talk about that, we're going to walk up to the podium with a smile tonight...... Let's go, brothers, change your clothes and get the prize. (To be continued.) )
