Chapter 594: 200-meter final
The sun is shining brightly during the day in Rio, and the sun is dazzling at noon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, tonight the storm suddenly changed, and at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, strong winds and torrential rain fell, and all the night track and field competitions at the Havelange stadium were suspended.
The wind and rain raged for an hour, and the rain stopped, but the wind was still blowing, and the runway was very slippery.
The men's 200m final was postponed again and again, and it was more than 23 o'clock before the gun was fired.
Du Ke learned that the Chinese women's volleyball team had killed the Dutch women's volleyball team 3-1 in the volleyball hall next door, and who won and who lost between himself and Bolt has not yet been decided.
Wind speed and direction have a direct impact on sprinting, and the results of many tests by authoritative institutions have shown that the 100-meter runner will run about 0.1 seconds faster in the downwind condition than in the windless condition.
The same is true for athletes running against headwinds, and their performance will be slower than in windless conditions. The final 100m straight stage of the 200m is similar to the 100m run.
The reason why the IAAF has repeatedly postponed the start time of the men's 200m final is because the wind is too strong tonight, and the wind direction is changing all the time, but the wind speed is more than 2 meters per second.
More than 2 m/s downwind is recognized by the IAAF as exceeding the wind speed, and the ranking of the athlete under the super wind speed condition is valid, but the result is not included in the normal wind speed results database, and the 200-meter run of 18 seconds under the super wind speed condition is not considered to break the world record.
If the headwind is too fast, it will directly lead to a significant slowdown in the athlete's sprint performance, and the IAAF does not want to see this situation.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the eight men's 200m finalists finally stood on the starting line.
"Our long-awaited men's 200m final has been delayed for three hours, and the gun is finally about to be fired." Teacher Yang of Central 5 explained, "Tonight, there was a sudden heavy rain in Rio, which caused the runway to be slippery, and I can still feel the wind blowing in the on-site commentary seat, and the wind speed is not small. Hopefully, bad weather doesn't affect the athletes' mentality, and weather conditions are also part of outdoor athletics. ”
Eight runners are tuning their starting gears, with Douc in lane 5 and Usain Bolt in lane 4 behind his left.
Tens of thousands of spectators wore raincoats to watch the game, and their enthusiasm was undiminished. The relay run is 4v4, it is a team battle, and this gun 200m final is the last individual duel between Duke and Bolt. Perhaps it really really is the last one-to-man duel between the two, and Bolt has made it clear that Rio is his last Olympics.
"Usain Bolt, who was crowned king at the '08 Olympics and pierced the night sky over Berlin at the '09 World Championships. In the 11th Daegu World Championships, he was sent off for running, and in the 12th London Olympics and the 13th World Championships in Moscow, Bolt returned as king. Breaking the world record eight times in his career, the Jamaican Lightning single-handedly brought sprinting back to the top of the game. Mr. Yang said emotionally that he was a big fan of Usain Bolt.
Suddenly, Mr. Yang said more emotionally and proudly: "Du Ke, he has many nicknames, Du Shuzi, Duke, National Male God, Super Spring Man, Ultimate Demon King, Invincible Alien...... Each nickname represents a legendary story. In Duke's career, he can't remember how many times he broke the world record in swimming, but there must have been dozens of them. ”
And Duke has broken the world record in the 100m, 400m, 800m, long jump, high jump and other track and field events exactly eight times, which is the same as Bolt. Zelezny's men's javelin world record of 98.48 meters is estimated to be unkept, which is the world record produced when the javelin's center of gravity is moved forward by 4 centimeters, and the 104.8-meter world record when the javelin's center of gravity is not moved forward is called a permanent world record. Duke will compete in the men's javelin final the night after tomorrow. ”
"Standing on the shoulders of giants, Duke continues to climb incredible new heights, let us look forward to the 200-meter summit battle of Duke and Usain Bolt!" Usain Bolt is indeed a god, but Duke is a native of China. Personally, Mr. Yang, who is also Chinese, certainly prefers Du Ke more.
on-your-marks!
The preparatory signal sounded, and the eight men's 200m finalists crouched down, waiting for the signal from behind.
Duke turned his head and glanced at Bolt, he only had such an opponent in the 200m event, and he cherished this opponent very much, running one shot less.
Bolt and Douc looked at each other, and he knew that Douco was tougher than any of his previous opponents. In the past, it was Bolt who forced the others to do their best, but now Bolt knew that he had to go all out against Duke.
Bang! Gunshots.
Brush Brush Brush!
Eight figures kicked off on the starting gear and began to accelerate in the corner.
Doucle had the fastest reaction time of 0.109 seconds, and after 30 meters, Doucle had caught up with the white Frenchman Lemaître in lane 6 outside.
The 200-meter curve starts with lane 8 riders at the front and lane 1 trail behind. Because the radius of each pass is different in the corners, it is generally fair.
Lemaître's starting position was in front of Ducco, and Ducco had just run 30 meters before he overtook Lemaître by half a position, which was a spike in a corner run. The further back you run, the more Duke will overtake.
But the track was slippery, and Duke didn't dare to increase the cadence too fast in the corner, and he was deliberately pressing the cadence in the first 50 meters of the corner, safety first.
Entering the middle of the corner, the tall black athlete in lane 4 caught up with Duke after a few big strides, and Bolt began to go berserk.
By the time Duke reacted, he noticed that Bolt had run in front of him. This is quite a red flag!
Duke didn't dare to use a high cadence to run slippery corners, but Bolt dared to use a big stride to increase his speed in corners. People with faster steps are more likely to slip under their feet.
Usain Bolt is a big man of more than 1.9 meters, but his cornering skills are among the best in the world. He proved to the world with his practical actions, who said that the big man suffers a loss when he runs a corner?
Bolt, who ran 200 meters, continued to accelerate in the corners: "You have to win a little more in the corners!" ”
Duke held his breath and didn't stumble with Bolt in the corner, the increasing circumferential centrifugal force was exerted on Duke, he felt this centrifugal force pushing his body desperately outward, and all he had to do now was to increase the amplitude of the body to fight the centrifugal force, not increase the cadence.
Usain Bolt was the first to go down the corner into the straight, and he was two positions ahead of Duke.
Bolt kept his big stride and significantly increased his cadence, and he launched a general attack on Duke in the straight!
Five or six steps later, Bolt extended his lead to more than a metre and was on his way to his seventh Olympic gold medal.
"Usain is still the king of the 200 meters!" The Jamaicans in the stands rejoiced, and no one but Usain Bolt could get more than a metre ahead of Douca.
"Where's Usain Bolt!" Instead of suppressing his cadence as he descended the corner, he picked up a dash of speed, quickly closing the gap on Usain Bolt with a speed of pursuit visible to the naked eye.
One-step, two-step, three-step...... With every step Duke runs, he gets closer to Bolt.
Fourteen or fifteen steps later, Duke caught up with Usain Bolt.
I'm Nima...... Jamaican fans were stunned as Duke blew Bolt after running 30 meters in the straight.
Doucle ran a 100-meter time of 9.39 seconds at the Olympics, compared to Usain Bolt's 9.63 seconds.
The difference between 9.39 and 9.63 was reflected in the straight 100m in the 200m final.
With 50 metres remaining, Doucle started from a metre behind and is now two or three positions ahead of Usain Bolt. De Grasser, Merritt, Lemaître and other famous players have been thrown six or seven meters away by Duke and Bolt.
"Bolt, I'm sorry!" After running 50 meters through the straight, Doucle started the "Fast Assault" and launched a powerful attack on his 22nd Olympic gold medal.
In the final tens of meters of the 200-meter run, Douc continued to improve his cadence, which was almost a fatal blow.
Watching Duke explode at full speed, Bolt felt that the general trend had gone, and he successfully suppressed Duke in the corner, but was blown back by Duke in the straight.
Teacher Yang: "Duke, he is nearly three meters ahead of Bolt!" He is sprinting towards his dream, his 22nd Olympic gold medal! ”
Duke on the track nodded to cross the finish line first, and he won the 200m!
Bolt crossed the line about three meters behind Douc, and he still failed to defend his title at 200 meters.
The results bulletin board reads:
The wind speed was 1.5 m/s against the wind, and the top three times were 19.19 seconds, Usain Bolt 19.48 seconds and De Grasser 20.02 seconds.
On the headwind and slippery track, only Duke and Bolt ran under 20 seconds, while the other runners all scored more than 20 seconds.
I don't know if it's providence, Duke ran a time of 19.19 seconds, which equaled the world record held by Usain Bolt.
"Salute to you Eusain, you will always be great in my heart." Duke shook hands with Usain Bolt after the game.
"19.19 seconds, did you do it on purpose?" At this time, Bolt was a little afraid of Duke. (To be continued.) )
