The weather forecast said that there would be rain tonight, and many of the more than 80,000 spectators in the Bird's Nest wore transparent raincoats, which were distributed by the organizing committee on the spot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The night sky of the Bird's Nest was still overcast, and Duke shook his nose, he could smell the dampness, and it would rain again later.
The gloomy weather seemed to suppress the excitement of the audience, and compared to the heat of the previous two days, tonight's Bird's Nest was much more low-key.
Duko stands in lane 5, and the lane next to him is Gatling in lane 6, and 8 players are divided into lanes 2~9, and lane 1 is not used.
Both Duke and Gatlin ran under 20 seconds in the semifinals, and only the two of them ran under 20 seconds.
Defending champion Usain Bolt retired 200m due to injury, making it a shame to not be able to witness the flyer duel between the Duke of China vs Jamaican Lightning again, and the gloomy weather meant that the excitement of the crowd was not burning to the extreme.
Douc isn't afraid of rainy days, but like most sprinters, he doesn't like to run on wet tracks.
Gatling crouched in front of the starting gear waiting for the ready signal, his palms pressed on the track, the wet touch spread through his palms, and Gatling didn't seem to reject the wet track. Ten years ago on a rainy night in Helsinki, when the temperature was only 10 degrees, Gatlin became the double champion in the 100m and 200m at that World Championships.
"I love the weather, yes, it's the feeling of being wet." Gatling suddenly got to his feet and leaped into the air, fighting in high spirits.
"Justin Gatlin, from Helsinki to the Bird's Nest, in the flick of a finger for ten years, he once again stood on the track of the men's 200m final at the World Championships." Teacher Yang is commenting on the game.
"That's right, I happened to be there on a rainy night in Helsinki ten years ago." Liu Xiang returned to the commentary seat, the high jump and long jump were not within the scope of his commentary business, and the 100 meters ~ 400 meters, hurdles, relay run and other individual events were explained by Liu Feiren's partner Mr. Yang.
Ten years ago, in the men's 110m hurdles final at the World Championships in Helsinki, Liu Xiang, who was in his prime, lost to France's Abdoulaye Doucoure by one second and finished second. Half an hour later, Liu Xiang witnessed Gatlin win the men's 200m gold medal and achieve double glory.
"Gatling isn't easy." Liu Xiang said with emotion that he and Gatling are contemporaries, the hurdle trapeze has retired, and the sprinter Gatlin, who is one year older than Liu Xiang, is still fighting on the front line.
Teacher Yang heard the sad tone and quickly connected the topic to this shot 200m final: "The 33-year-old veteran Gatlin is a respectable athlete, and Du Ke is aiming to win the third individual gold medal at the World Championships, although there is no Usain Bolt, but I believe that this shot 200m will be equally exciting." Well, it's game on! ”
The starting gun for the men's 200m final rang out, and eight athletes began to soar.
Douc started the fastest, but he didn't accelerate to the limit after the start.
In line with the principle of safety first, Duke closed the cadence in the acceleration stage, and he used six or seven meters more to complete the acceleration run.
But Gatlin wasn't afraid of the slippery track, and he started with a fast pace and powerful swing arms, and he knew he couldn't beat Doucle on the straights, as evidenced by the 100m final, where Gatlin lost to Doucle by nearly 0.3 seconds.
Gatlin was looking to gain an advantage in the corners to seal the race, and he accelerated early into the middle of the corner, where he was in first place.
Gatlin's 6th lane was outside Duke, and when Duke saw that Gatling was running so fiercely, he quickly increased his stride and took a few steps into the middle of the run.
The cadence in the running stage is relatively stable, and the running curve is not afraid of fast speed, but afraid of the running frequency changing around, and the more intense the frequency conversion, the easier it is to hit the street.
Gatling and Duke maintained the second highest running speed and faced off in the 40~80 meters corner.
Both men had beautiful cornering skills, and they adjusted the inward angle of their bodies to the right angle and then started to go crazy in the corners.
Teacher Yang: "Full Moon Scimitar!" Full Moon Scimitar! ”
Liu Xiang: "Duke and Gatling have two full moon scimitars, see who is sharper!" ”
Teacher Yang: "Don't relax when you go down the corner, come on, Duke!" ”
Liu Xiang: "Straight Gatling is still ahead, but Duke's frequency has risen!" ”
Gatlin was a little ahead of Duke after the bend, half a body.
Duke kept his cadence constant and increased his stride, catching up with Gatling after a few steps.
Gatlin watched the fifth path of Duke "brush" by him, and he was so frightened.
There was nothing to scruple about running on the straight, and after Duke overtook Gatling, he immediately turned on the [Fast Frequency Assault] and picked up his feet and galloped.
For excellent men's 200m athletes, the last 100m takes 0.10~0.70 seconds less than the first 100m. In corners, they use the second highest speed, and after the corner, they rush at full speed, and the second acceleration is achieved by increasing the cadence and stride length.
Douc ran past 150 meters at top speed, and at some point there was a light rain in the air.
The drizzle was blowing and the wind was blowing, and Duke, who was running at high speed, swept the tracks on both sides with his vision, but Gatlin didn't seem to follow, and the opponents in the rest of the lanes were nowhere to be seen.
Duke overtook Gatlin after the corner, but Gatlin couldn't blow back, and Duke, who was in first place, was already more than three meters ahead of Gatlin in second position, and there were ten meters left at this time.
Teacher Yang and Liu Xiang raised their arms and shouted: "Du Ke! Doucle! He is fulfilling his promise to make a move towards his third gold medal at the World Championships! ”
On the runway, Douc was about to cross the line with an unsurpassed advantage, and he spread his arms and looked up at the night sky of the Bird's Nest.
There are no stars in the sky tonight, and the stars on land are shining brightly.
Du Keshu crossed the finish line with his back on his back, and on a rainy night in the Bird's Nest, he won his third gold medal at the World Championships - the men's 200m gold medal.
"In 19.35 seconds, Duke won the championship! Gatlin finished second in 19.74 seconds! Lewis and Usain Bolt, two great names were followed by a new name that was equally great, and Duke became the third male athlete in history to win three gold medals at one World Championships! The legend is not over, it has just begun, Du Ke still has the high jump, 400 meters two individual events, tomorrow night's Bird's Nest, may witness Du Ke become the first person in the history of the World Athletics Championships to reach the pinnacle of the moment! ”
Under the leadership of the host, the audience of 80,000 or 90,000 viewers chanted Du Ke's name to celebrate the birth of another triple gold king in the history of the World Championships.
The saga isn't over, it's just beginning. With just one more gold medal, Duke will become the greatest legend in the history of the World Championships. (To be continued.) )
