Chapter 321 Lausanne Station 400 meters (three watches, 22/58)
The men's 400m race in Lausanne is about to begin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
LaSean Merritt of the United States, who won the men's 400m at the '08 Olympics and the men's 400m at the 2009/2013 World Championships in Berlin/Moscow, is in lane 3.
Grenada's Killarney James, who won the men's 400m at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu and London 2012, is in lane 5.
From the historical data, it can be seen that from 08 to 2013, the five men's 400m champions of two Olympic Games and three World Championships in Athletics were divided between Merritt and James, who took turns to dominate the men's 400m running event in the last five or six years.
Located on the fourth track between the Olympic champions and the world champions is Ducques.
James is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, Merritt is No. 2 and Douc is now No. 7 in the world in the men's 400m with the points he earned from the 400m in Eugene.
Yang from CCTV 5 is commenting on the live broadcast: "Duke, Merritt, James, the three of them can be said to be the three best men's 400-meter runners in the active service, judging from the results in recent years, only they can run within 44 seconds." β
Douc beat Merritt in the 400m in Eugene in 43.98 seconds, and it seems that James, who is currently ranked number one in the world, will not be able to sit still. Duke, Merritt and James, these three players are competing together for the first time, and their passes are still together, and I believe it will be a fierce competition. β
Other runners include Macawala, Santos, Rabah, CedeΓ±o, Youssef Maslahi and eight of the top 10 in the world rankings in the men's 400m are on the track at the Olympic Stadium in Lausanne. It's unclear whether Duke will be able to run under 44 seconds again and withstand the onslaught of the world's best players, but I expect it to be an extremely tough race. β
Mr. Yang's explanation of the competition is still relatively objective, and he definitely supports Du Ke emotionally, but he can also calmly analyze and interpret from the actual situation.
Listen to what the American commentator predicted about the 400m race, "Duke has been in good form lately, but he lacks a background and precipitation, yes, the foundation of a champion." Compared with Merritt and James, Duke has not won the Olympic Games, World Championships in Athletics and other major events, and at critical moments, a person's champion temperament often determines the outcome of the victory. I'm more optimistic about Lasean-Merritt and the two-time World Championships and one Olympic gold medalist. β
Grenada is a small Caribbean country with a population of more than 100,000 and a land area of more than 300 square kilometers, and their country's television stations generally do not broadcast the Diamond League. In the spirit of internationalism, the commentator on the Swiss television station supported Grenadian James: "There is no doubt that Killarney James is a genius and the sprinters from the Caribbean have always been very good. James ran a year-best of 43.87 seconds in New York, and I'm bullish on him. β
Saudi Arabia is a rich country, and their national television is broadcasting the match live, and the Saudi commentator said: "Our player Yusuf is in lane 8, he will create a miracle in lane 8, he will beat any opponent!" Viewers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, why do I have so much faith in Yusuf? Because Yusuf switched to the account of the famous American sprint coach John Smith this year, Mr. John Smith is a legendary coach, and Green and Montgomery are both senior apprentices of Coach Smith. So, trust me, Yusuf will definitely surprise us. β
Saudi Arabia's Yousuf in lane 8 looked back at Duke, who is the oldest rival with Duke, the two Asian players who have been bumping since last year's Bangkok Grand Prix, from Asia to Europe, the Americas and now to the Diamond League.
"Duke, I must defeat you this time, definitely!" Yusuf stared at Duke, his eyes bursting with fire.
"Boring." Duke also saw Yusuf's aggressive eyes, and he didn't bother to bother with such a small role now.
"on-your-marks~" The starter signaled to prepare.
The eight runners adjusted their emotions and prepared to start.
βset~β
Bang!
The game begins.
Du Ke is in good condition and full of physical strength, [Wolf Ears], [Leopard's Tail], and the world's top flat chopping speed + endurance reserves, so that Du Ke can stand out in the first 200 meters.
Mr. Yang: "Duke has been leading since the start, 200 meters have passed, Du Ke has run very beautifully in the future, I hope he can keep it." β
American commentator: "Lashawn, don't panic, your advantage is in the late stages, keep the current running speed on the way, overtake Doucle in the next corner, and the victory will definitely belong to Lasean!" β
Swiss commentator: "Grenada's genius Killarney James is fast, but Douc seems to be faster!" β
The Saudi commentator was very anxious: "Yusef, speed up!" Come on! What are you waiting for? "Can you not be in a hurry, Yusuf is already at the bottom.
Duke started the [Fast Assault] in the first straight stage, and he was more than a meter ahead of second-place James, and Duke took the lead into the corner.
Mr. Yang became more and more excited: "The last corner is quite crucial, I hope Du Ke can keep the lead and enter the last straight!" β
The American commentator was also excited: "Rashawn, hurry, hurry!" If you don't surpass, you won't have a chance! β
The battle on the runway has become apparent, and the Swiss commentator is no longer supporting James, and he has begun to strongly support Duke: "Douc is the first to go into the straight, and the others have no chance!" β
The Swiss commentator was not wrong, and the others really didn't have a chance.
Just when everyone thought that Duke, James and Merritt would compete fiercely in the final corner, Duke got off the corner with a huge advantage of more than 3 meters ahead of second-place James, and began the final 100 meters of the straight sprint.
In the last 100 meters, the runners are fighting for the ability to maintain the next highest speed.
Doucle, James, Merritt and the others were all outstanding in their ability to maintain a high speed in the back, but Duke's lead in the first 300 meters was too obvious, and [Leopard's Tail] allowed Douc to establish an unshakable victory in the two corners.
In the last 30 meters, Duke is still more than three meters ahead of the second place James, and at this point in the game, the outcome is basically decided.
Duke crossed the line three or four meters ahead of second-placed James and won the championship without dispute.
"43.48 seconds!" The commentators from China, the United States, and Switzerland exclaimed at the same time that Duke's winning time was 43.48 seconds.
Mr. Yang couldn't believe it: "Before the game, I thought that this 400-meter shot would be an extremely difficult race, but I didn't expect Duke to defeat James and Merritt by an overwhelming margin!" I slapped myself in the face, but with a hard beating! Ha ha! As he spoke, Mr. Yang laughed to himself.
"Duke ran an astonishing 43.48 seconds in this shot, making him the fourth runner in history to run under 43.50 seconds, and Doucle's 43.48 seconds became the fourth-best time in history in the men's 400m, following Michael Johnson, Reynolds and Varina."
"Three of them ran under 44 seconds in this shot, Duke 43.48 seconds, Killarney James 43.89 seconds, and LaSean Merritt 43.95 seconds, and all three runners ran under 44 seconds in a 400-meter race, which is not common in Olympic finals! In this high-level 400m race, Duke won impeccably! Congratulations to Duke for winning the championship, he once again set a personal best in the 400m and rewrote the Asian record in the men's 400m to 43.48 seconds. β
On the track, after crossing the line, Duke saw his time of 43.48 seconds.
"Huhu,...... Not bad, 43.48 seconds. "It's very tiring to run a shot of 400 meters with all your might, and Duke also has to take a few breaths to slow down," this shot 400 meters won the championship and set a new Asian record, getting the championship reward 20 points, breaking the Asian record reward 1 point, and now saving 83 bonus points, everything is going according to plan.
