Chapter 1846 Before the War, the Last Undercurrent

[Two million people applied for tickets just because the 200-meter-long stadium only had 8 seats.]

Two million people applied for tickets to enter the stadium, which can only accommodate 200 people. In the stands, a spectator waved a ticket. The ticket price for such a seat was as high as 8 pounds (about 725 yuan). The reason why it was so expensive must be because of the upcoming 7300-meter race.

This night was probably the night with the most spectators since the construction of the London Stadium. Even on the opening day, people were not allowed to stand in any unseated place. But yesterday, all the places where people could stand were full of people. This is the attraction of the 100-meter race. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, London Olympic Organizing Committee President Sebastian Coe and the current IAAF President, Senegalese Lamidiak, will also be present.

[Former Olympic record holder Pele: Bolt is accused of not really running and hiding his strength. Who among the four masters can shake him?]

After running the "second shot" of the Olympics, although world record holder Bolt easily advanced to the finals, there were three or four people who ran faster than the defending champion, including Suarez, who was in the same group with him, and set the fastest speed in the 100-meter semi-final in Olympic history. Bolt had to admit defeat, which shows how fierce the competition in this Olympics is.

Why did Bolt only finish fourth among all the runners? Was he not excited enough or was he trying to save his strength? Former Maple Leaf Country Olympic star Bailey said: "Bolt was very relaxed and didn't really run at all. I suspect he deliberately concealed his strength today."

Even so, it is not easy for the "Bolt Dynasty" to continue to dominate the London Olympics: Looking back at history, only one person, American Carl Lewis, has won the gold medal in the "Flying Man War" in two Olympic Games, namely in 1984 and 1988. Judging from the recent results, in the Jamaican Olympic trials, as the king of 100 meters and 200 meters, Bolt lost to his "junior" Blake in both events, shocking the world.

Today he lost to Su again in the semi-finals and had no chance of taking the center position in the finals.

This is also the first time since Bolt became world champion in recent years that he did not have such a position in a major competition.

But if he doesn't "fake run" and runs seriously, then the chances of beating him in London this year are very high.

Maybe the people in front of him are stronger than him.

As a major local media in Kitty Hawk, BBC also published an article after the semi-finals:

As the fastest man in the world, it seems incredible that he has been defeated by the same person in Jamaican domestic competitions. Can Bolt defend his honor in this year's Olympics? Darren Campbell, sports expert of BBC and silver medalist of men's 2000m in 200 Olympics, made comments on Bolt and his opponents:

Campbell's comment: Bolt's biggest advantage is also his disadvantage. For Bolt, who is 1 meters tall, long legs are his advantage. But at the same time, it is a challenge for Bolt, who is 95 meters tall, to start from a squatting position and then stand up to take advantage of his long stride. In comparison, shorter runners will have a clear advantage over Bolt in this process. Therefore, Bolt must adjust his rhythm in the first 1 meters and then enter the normal sprint stage, which will be very critical. Because Bolt, who is tall, will have a slower speed decay. Therefore, the first 95 meters is the key.

If all his abilities are combined successfully, he will be invincible.

Campbell's comment: If you want to pick a sample of 30-meter runners, except for Bolt, it must be Powell. Even Bolt said that he hopes he can have Powell's start. Not only that, Powell's last meters sprint is also very pleasing to the eye. But his problem is that once he enters the championship battle, he seems to forget these skills. Therefore, the outside world has doubts about Powell's psychological quality.

Campbell's comment: Gatlin is the gold medalist of the 2004-meter dash at the 9 Olympics, and this year is even more special for him. Although Gatlin himself firmly denies taking performance-enhancing drugs, it is an indisputable fact that he was banned for four years because of a failed drug test. Therefore, Gatlin is very much looking forward to a comeback this year. From a technical point of view, Gatlin has no particularly obvious weaknesses, and he is not faster than Bolt. But if everyone is in the 7 to 9 seconds this year, then Gatlin can still be a threat, but of course it is only a threat.

Campbell's comment: Bolt lost to Blake in both the 100m and 200m at the Jamaican Olympic trials this year. So, when it comes to understanding Bolt, no one can compare to his training partner Blake. However, Blake's disadvantage is also obvious. This is his first Olympic journey. Bolt is very familiar with the atmosphere of the competition, while Blake lacks experience, which may affect his performance.

Campbell's comment: Gay's every step is full of explosiveness, which is probably the cause of his groin injury. In terms of frequency, Gay is very good. For every one Bolt takes, Gay can take about one and a half steps. However, Gay's physical condition has always been a hidden danger, especially his groin. Although 100 meters is short, no one knows whether his body can support him to finish the race.

Campbell's comment: Su's form this year is like a roller coaster. At the beginning, I really thought he might be useless. At least this year he is not competitive. His technique changed drastically and he started with a different foot. But he still recovered before the Olympics, which is really amazing. I heard that in their domestic trials, he also opened 9.80+. Today's semi-finals proved again that he has really recovered. He now has the possibility of breaking out with good results. If I have to say, I think he still has the foundation to compete for a medal this year, but the recovery of the technique change was too short. If it is next year, I think he can still compete for the silver medal. Maybe a medal is the limit this year.

【Bolt is the top winner in the 100m championship odds. 】

【Yahoo Sports.】

The 100m sprint race in the London Olympics is about to begin. Although Jamaican "Lightning" Bolt is still the favorite to win the championship, American sprint legend Michael Johnson publicly supports Tyson Gay to win the men's 9m final. Four years ago in the Beijing Olympics, Bolt soared into the sky with his outstanding speed and explosive power at the Bird's Nest, winning the gold medal in 68 seconds, making Olympic history. For American Gay, he is working hard to win his first Olympic gold medal. In the 2008 Olympics, Gay missed the duel with Bolt due to injury, which has always been a thorn in his side. Therefore, he did not receive much attention from the outside world in this Olympics.

"I'm expecting a strong challenge from the Americans," said Moses, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. "Justin Gatlin should win a medal, but I think Tyson deserves more attention. He has a strong start, good acceleration, perfect technique and rhythm control. I'm optimistic about him."

"Through the Beijing Olympics, we know his strength. But can he be defeated? Of course." "Forrest Gump" Johnson also said, "But this requires some factors and circumstances to happen. If Bolt is in his best condition, then the possibility of beating him is very small."

"As long as his form fluctuates a little, Guy and other players will have a chance. The most important thing is that other players must have a belief and they cannot lose their fighting spirit before the start. After all, this sport is also a test of psychology."

Interestingly, another famous American athlete also made a comment and prediction in his personal live broadcast room during the semi-finals. He also did not think Bolt could win the championship, but what he said was obviously even crazier than these people:

"Usain is not invincible,"

"The only way to beat Bolt is to overwhelm him from the start. If you give him a good start, the other runners will be in trouble because he will just get faster and faster. So if Guy wants to beat Bolt, he has to get faster from the start."

The reason why Green made such a prediction is not unrelated to Bolt's characteristics. Bolt, who is about 1 meters tall, has an amazingly large stride distance, which is his advantage. But Green believes that from squatting to getting into the rhythm, the height of about 95 meters is just a loophole that Sugatlin Blake and others can seize. "When you try to push a refrigerator, do you want to push the refrigerator upright or put it down before pushing it?" Green said: "He has no advantage in the start, so he has to fight for his life in the rest of the stage. This year he even reduced the distance between his starting support hands, which will affect his starting speed."

"And I think what Bolt lacks most now is his invincible temperament compared to the past. At the Jamaican Olympic trials this year, Bolt had a bad start in the 200m race and then never caught up with Blake. In the 70m race, Bolt was caught up and overtaken by Blake in the last meters. After losing to the same person twice in a row, Bolt's invincibility legend no longer exists."

He analyzes more from the technical side.

"I personally think that although Guy has a chance to win, I am more optimistic about Su. Of course, my premise is that Guy can also win. If Bolt performs normally, it will be difficult for others."

Of course, Carl King Lewis is indispensable in this matter. After all, he was the only person to defend the 100m title in the Olympics before Bolt. Now it is broadcast live across the United States, so he must be asked. Lewis once again said -

"No one has ever won two Olympic gold medals in the 18-meter race except me. Greatness is proven by history. Tenacity and stability are both necessary elements for success. I have an -year professional career, and my understanding of the -meter race is different from others."

You can see that although these reports also have various statements, they all have their own stances. For example, if you are an American, you must praise the United States. Green has already made many Americans "unhappy", but no matter how you say it... the odds of major bookmakers are clear.

And even Green has to say that this is based on the assumption that Bolt did not perform well, similar to the situation in 2011 when he made some mistakes. If he performed well, or even normally, the others would probably not have much chance.

This is of course a common opinion.

No matter how much the world brags about its own athletes, they can never get around Bolt.

He's like a demon from the athletics world.

I do not care who you are.

I want to be number one in the world.

You all need to take him down, bring him down.

And before you kill him head-on, even if Daegu makes a mistake, it will not affect people's overall judgment.

After all, in the eyes of many people, Bolt did not lose, he just started early.

In a serious running competition, no one among them is a match for Bolt.

and so……

You need to beat Bolt head-on in a big race.

Only in this way can he remain unshakable in people's impression and become "also a human being".

Otherwise, Bolt will still be an insurmountable mountain in the competition.

However, Bolt himself was like an old emperor, constantly emphasizing his status, "I have always said that London will belong to me, this year will belong to me, 2012 is my moment!" Bolt promised in the post-semi-final interview.

Coincidentally, this year's 50-meter race also falls on the th anniversary of the independence of Bolt's home country, Jamaica.

What will happen? The answer will be revealed in two hours. Everyone set the alarm and don’t miss this super 100-meter race that may only happen once in a century in human history.

……

The popularity of the 100m is of course unparalleled, and it is worthy of being the crown event, but because the 100m is in the back position.

So the first game that started also started its own warm-up.

For example, hurdles.

Not to mention the women, there is no one from China who has entered the finals.

The men's 110m hurdles will also start tonight.

And it will be a hundred meters ahead.

For example, Roberts said after the semi-finals:

I am the favorite to win the 110m hurdles and my mentality is different from 08.

"I am the favourite, but I have to admit that the 110m hurdles have risen to a very high level over the past year."

"In 2008, I was 21 years old, and I only appeared as a challenger. Now it's different, I am the defending champion, and I have made history. Even if I leave the court empty-handed, I will be happy. The winner will be decided on the court!"

This statement actually contains a lot of mystery.

It sounds like he is making a statement, declaring himself the defending Olympic champion.

But in fact, it may just be to promote Cuban field shoes.

And the last sentence may be the key.

"Even if I leave the stadium empty-handed, I still have to be happy?"

Doesn’t this contradict the above domineering declaration?

It only means that Roberts has actually put the answer in the interview.

Just see if you can see and guess.

He also said that he thought the intensity of the Olympics would not be too exaggerated, and he even said it might be lower than 12.95s.

This, of course... was refuted by many people.

For example, Merritt’s coach, in response to Robles’ question, quipped, “Maybe he feels like he’s still living in the past.”

“Maybe he thinks it’s still 2008.”

"But times have changed, man. It's 2012."

“It’s Aris’ time now.”

“In this year’s final, given Aris’s form, I think it’s not impossible for him to break 12.90s again.”

"Everyone saw the semi-finals, right?"

"He's in his current form, unstoppable, 12.95s?"

"For him now, he can break it with just a kick. Roberts is really overthinking this and underestimating Aris's strength."

"He will suffer a great loss on the field."

"Of course Aris told me that he is mainly concerned about Liu, not Roberts. There is no evidence for Roberts this year. He has not participated in many competitions. How can he say that he can win the championship? It is totally impossible." "Based on my experience, this year's championship will only be between Aris and Liu."

"But I have received news about Liu. He is seriously injured. So Aris' championship is a foregone conclusion this time."

"What he has to do is..."

His coach Sit said: "Break the Olympic record, even the world record, and win the Olympic gold medal at the same time."

"If he can do these three things in one go, and do it in front of the former Olympic record and world record holder, I think Aris will become the first legend in the history of short jump."

……

"I didn't expect that Merritt is a good guy, but his coach is such a big mouth." In the lounge, a member of Liu Xiang's team said angrily while watching the TV interview. Liu Xiang and his team were not here. They were dealing with injuries in another area and were not in the same room.

"What are you talking about, former world record holder and former Olympic record holder? Isn't that talking about Brother Xiang?"

"We haven't even competed yet, how come we're ahead?"

“This is infuriating.”

His words also resonated with the rest of the Xiang team members.

Everyone started grumbling.

Even though Sun Haiping said to stop arguing, he was actually watching in his heart and felt that the stain was not looking good, just like the ink had been splashed on it.

But everyone has seen Merritt's performance in the semi-finals.

With so many negative buffs, he can still sit at this level. The threat is greater than expected.

Even if Liu Xiang was in his peak form, Sun Haiping felt that the chances of winning would be fifty-fifty.

What about Liu Xiang’s current situation?

difficult.

It's a bit too difficult.

Sun Haiping felt like he was going to lose a lot of hair again.

Liu Xiang, who was recovering from massage therapy at the moment, also heard these words, but he said nothing.

There was no action either.

Just turned his head and looked out the window.

Don't know what to think.

Merritt really emerged out of nowhere. This state, the semi-final posture, and the ability to run 12.95s twice in a short period of time are indeed things he did not have even in his peak period.

This made Liu Xiang's situation worse after the semi-finals.

That's not the worst.

His foot injury also worsened.

Although it was much better than this time in the previous life, it was still very serious, especially after two more shots were taken.

Even more so.

"How is Axiang's health now?" Sun Haiping stood nearby and asked almost every few minutes.

This feeling of anxiety.

As far as Liu Xiang was concerned, Sun Haiping had never appeared before.

So, is the master a little unconfident about winning the championship?

Yes, with me in this state, who else would have the confidence?

With his increasing age and injuries before the competition, the Olympic Games may be the strongest opponent in history.

All stacked together with myself.

No one else can be as steady as a rock.

"I'm afraid..."

"It's not good."

The doctor who came over to check also looked like boiled orange peel. He said, "Local blood circulation is poor. Because of the two shots from yesterday to today, he has been overworked in the hurdles. He has lost a lot of elasticity and is very tight, just like a rubber band that has been stretched tight for a long time..."

"Not to mention inflammation."

“It has reached a very bad level.”

"If this wasn't an Olympic final, I would have said, out of professional ethics, that I should stop running. If I continued, there might be big problems."

Sun Haiping remained silent. Although the words were spoken very tactfully, he could still get the general idea.

The situation became even worse after running the semi-finals.

And it keeps going...

He looked at the doctor, and the doctor looked at him, as if he could see what Sun Haiping wanted to ask.

He nodded slightly in advance.

Sun Haiping was stunned.

Don't know what to say.

If this is the case, wouldn’t the price be… a bit too high?

Liu Xiang, whom he had taken care of for such a long time, was almost like a half-son to him, and Liu Xiang was also very good to him.

It’s okay to say that “the teacher is kind and the students are filial.”

He also really didn't want Liu Xiang to take any risks.

But the Olympic finals are coming up, this...

"Can I make it to the finals?"

Who would have thought that Liu Xiang would speak after being silent for a long time.

"It's very serious. If he runs away, it might be very serious..."

Without waiting for the doctor to finish explaining how serious the condition was, Liu Xiang interrupted him, perhaps because he was afraid that hearing too much would affect his morale.

"That means we can run in the next ten seconds or so, right?"

"Yes, you can run, but..."

"That's enough."

When Liu Xiang heard this, his nervousness disappeared a little.

Because there was only one thing he was afraid of.

Now he doesn't care about the future.

He just wanted to know if he could finish the final.

"But this may be a serious problem, and may even be irreversible." The doctor finally couldn't help but speak loudly.

"I know." Liu Xiang said calmly, "But as long as I can run for the next ten seconds, it will be enough."

“It doesn’t matter if it breaks after running.”

silence.

"I just need the next ten or so seconds to play my best."
