Chapter 2464 This is the number one genius of the younger generation? He doesn't seem very bright.
The fourth group of contestants took the stage in turn.

Eight figures stood out against the dazzling lights. American star Trevon Brommel in lane 3 was undoubtedly the center of attention. Born in 1995, he was only 20 years old, yet he had already demonstrated top-level competitiveness, making him the top favorite in his group.

He wore a blue tight-fitting suit, his muscles were taut and explosive, and his height of about 1.75 meters gave him a significant advantage in stride frequency. When he entered the arena, he raised his hands high in greeting, his eyes full of youthful arrogance and confidence.

His every move exuded an air of dominance, suggesting that winning the championship was a foregone conclusion.

Following closely behind in lane 6 was Chigindu Ujah, an Eagle from the UK. Born in 1994, he stands at approximately 1.80 meters tall, possessing both a long stride and high cadence. His season time of 10.05 seconds gives him the potential to challenge for a top-three finish in his group. Dressed in a black racing suit, he repeatedly moved his ankles and solemnly adjusted his running shoes, clearly taking this preliminary round extremely seriously.

German athlete Julian Reis in lane 4 and Antoine Adams in lane 2 from St. Kitts and Nevis, among others, also made their appearances, warming up for the race. With strong competitors all around, the competitive atmosphere became increasingly intense.

When Zhao Haohuan from lane 5 took to the field, the cheers at the Bird's Nest instantly rose by a decibel.

This Chinese sprinter stands at 191cm, making him a "giant" among male sprinters. It's worth noting that the average height of top sprinters is between 1.75 and 1.85 meters, while Zhao Haohuan's height far exceeds this range. However, he leverages his unique technical advantages to transform this "height disadvantage" into a "stride length advantage in the later stages of the race." He is wearing a red, tight-fitting racing suit.

He wore red shorts and red and gold running shoes, his slender figure standing tall and graceful. When he entered the track, he did not try to cater to the cheers of the audience. He simply let his hands hang naturally and walked slowly towards the track. Every step was steady and powerful, and his eyes focused on scanning the track ahead, as if he were measuring his own "battlefield in the later stages".

high cold.

These are the tags received from the outside world.

Everyone's gotten used to it.

Again.

Whether you're aloof or not, nobody cares.

Competitive sports.

All you need to do is become strong.

What's your angle?

There are always people praising it.

During the pre-race warm-up, Zhao Haohuan's movements were concise and highly targeted. He did not engage in high-intensity explosive power training, but instead focused on the core aspects of acceleration in the later stages of the race:

First, I did 10 large lunge stretches to fully stretch the muscles in my hips and the back of my thighs.

This was key to his significant acceleration in the later stages of the race.

Five sets of arm swing resistance training were then conducted, in which the arms pulled the elastic band and swung back and forth to strengthen the shoulder and back muscles and ensure that the arm swing at the end of the stride could provide sufficient assistance for the stride.

His warm-up focus was always on "powering up in the later stages," a stark contrast to Bromell's training, which focused on accelerating from the start.

"Zhao Haohuan's advantage is too obvious. His height of 191cm allows him to have an extremely good stride, which is comparable to other black athletes and far surpasses other athletes in the same group. This is the core capital for his comeback in the later stages."

Yang Jian excitedly introduced, "More importantly, his top speed is extremely strong. His top speed in the later stages can exceed 12. As long as he doesn't fall too far behind in the first half, almost no one can stop him in the second half!"

At this moment, Zhao Haohuan had already walked to the starting blocks. He bent down to feel the elasticity of the track, and then adjusted the angle of the starting blocks. Because of his height, the front and rear distance of his starting blocks was set to be slightly larger, about 35 centimeters. This setting would allow him to transition more steadily into the middle of the race after the start, laying the groundwork for acceleration in the later stages.

In contrast, Bromell repeatedly practiced 30-meter acceleration drills during warm-up. His starting posture was compact, his stride frequency was astonishingly high, and each acceleration was accompanied by powerful explosive force, clearly aiming to secure an early lead based on his advantage in the first half of the race. The warm-up styles of the two groups of athletes already foreshadowed the core storyline of this race: Bromell's "stride frequency sprint" in the first half versus Zhao Haohuan's "stride length domination" in the second half.

"set".

"On your marks—"

The electronic instructions were clearly transmitted throughout the field, and the eight athletes quickly boarded the starting blocks.

Zhao Haohuan's starting posture is quite different from other runners: due to his height, his center of gravity is relatively high, his arms are bent and close to his sides, and the angle of his elbows is locked at about 100°, which ensures both power efficiency and avoids starting delay caused by a low center of gravity.

His eyes were fixed on the marker 20 meters ahead, his ears caught every sound of the starting pistol, and his muscles were kept in a state of "moderate tension".

The lack of excessive exertion was clearly an attempt to conserve energy for acceleration later in the race.

The hips are slightly raised, the body's center of gravity shifts slightly forward, and the muscles of the hind legs are moderately tightened. Unlike Bromell, the explosive power is not fully stored up, but rather left room for maneuver.

Bromell beside him was already in a state of extreme readiness, his center of gravity extremely low, his muscles taut like steel cables, as if he were about to be launched at any moment.

Zhao Haohuan glanced at it.

This seems to be a rising star among America's young people.

Bang——————

The moment the starting gun fired, Brommell's starting advantage exploded! His reaction time was only 0.125 seconds, his legs moved like a small motor, his stride frequency was approaching 5.0 steps per second, and his acceleration in the first 10 meters was as fast as lightning. His blue figure rushed out of the starting line in an instant and firmly occupied the leading position.

Zhao Haohuan's start was relatively steady, with a reaction time of 0.152 seconds. Although slower than Bromel, it was still in the upper-middle level of the group. He did not pursue the ultimate stride frequency at the start, but maintained his own rhythm, gradually extending his stride length. Each push-off from his long legs was solid and powerful. Although the red figure was temporarily half a body length behind Bromel, he always moved forward steadily and did not fall behind.

His bent-arm start allowed him to stay close to the start, even with his significant height advantage.

This is why Bolt's performance jumped to a whole new level after he learned to start with his arms bent.

Because this is truly a powerful weapon once a tall person has mastered it.

Because no matter how fast a tall person runs, their starting phase is destined to be a weakness.

The more improvements are made in this area.

Then you will have fewer disadvantages.

The fewer disadvantages you have, the more advantages you will have.

Furthermore, his strength is clearly superior to these people, so he has no worries about advancing.

Two years ago, Brommell was only 18 years old.

They don't have any real strength.

Let's see how this newly emerging American genius fares after two years.
In the first 30 meters, Bromell's stride frequency advantage widened further, his speed increased to 10.7 m/s, leading Zhao Haohuan by 0.3 m/s, and creating a body length gap with athletes such as Ujah and Reis.

At this time, Zhao Haohuan remained steady and focused on standardizing his technical movements, rather than blindly following the trend of increasing his stride frequency.

Maintain a stable forward lean angle for the upper body, keep the core muscles tight, and avoid body swaying caused by excessive height.

The arm swinging motion is simple and efficient. The arms swing back and forth around the shoulders, with the elbows always close to the torso, leaving room for subsequent stride expansion.

Although his stride length was not as long as his peak in the later stages, it was significantly better than that of other athletes in his group. At the end of the first 30 meters, he was third in his group, half a body length behind Bromell, and only 0.05 seconds behind Ujah.

Within the first 50 meters, the track layout became clear.

Bromell took the lead with his compact technique. The 1.75-meter-tall American athlete made the most of his small stature, quickly lowering his center of gravity after the start. His stride was light and dense, with each step having a short and powerful push-off. His blue figure shot off like an arrow, leaving everyone else in the dust and leading the pack without any doubt.

Ujah, who was close behind, was between Bromel and Zhao Haohuan in height. He tried to use his pace advantage to close the gap, swinging his arms rapidly and keeping his body tense as he tried his best to catch up with the blue figure in front of him, but he could not close the distance between them.

Zhao Haohuan, the giant sprinter who is over 190 centimeters tall, maintained a steady pace throughout the first 50 meters of the track, showing no signs of exerting his strength.

Compared to Bromell's low center of gravity sprint and Ujah's rapid pursuit, his body posture was more relaxed, with his upper body maintaining a moderate forward lean. He neither swayed due to his height nor deliberately lowered his center of gravity to match the rhythm of the smaller athlete.

His push-off motion was solid and composed, each step appearing unhurried. His legs swung forward with full extension but without haste, clearly laying the groundwork for a powerful push later in the race.

The differences caused by height are fully demonstrated at this stage.

Bromell's petite frame allows him to accelerate faster, his weight transfer is agile, and his stride frequency advantage enables him to quickly establish a lead over short distances.

Ujah sought a balance between stride frequency and stride length, but due to his height, he found it difficult to increase his stride length while maintaining his stride frequency.

While Zhao Haohuan's height makes it difficult for him to be as fast as shorter athletes in the initial stage, it gives him natural potential for stride length.

Even without exerting his full strength in the first 50 meters, the coverage of each of his steps far exceeded that of his opponents in the same group; it's just that this advantage has not yet been fully realized.

Once the race began, Zhao Haohuan maintained a high level of technical skill throughout.

The shoulders should be lowered steadily.

This avoids the upper limb swaying that is common in tall athletes.

The core muscles firmly hold the body's balance.

This lays a solid foundation for the subsequent transmission of power.

His arm swings are simple and efficient, without any unnecessary lateral movements, always moving back and forth in close contact with his torso, which reduces energy loss and leaves ample room for explosive strides in the later stages.

Unlike Bromell and Ujah, who were tense and giving their all, Zhao Haohuan's muscles, though equally firm, exuded a relaxed feeling of "effortless control," as if the 50 meters in front of him were just a warm-up, and the real competition was yet to come.

The gap between him and Ujah gradually narrowed without him even realizing it. This narrowing was not due to deliberate chasing, but rather to a steady improvement in his own rhythm. As the track gradually extended, Zhao Haohuan slowly adjusted his body posture, and the force exerted when pushing off the ground with his legs became more and more obvious. However, this exertion of force remained restrained, without disrupting the overall steady rhythm.

Clearly, he knew that his advantage lay not in the short sprints of the first half of the race, but in the extra stride and extreme speed that his height gave him in the second half to overtake others. Therefore, in the first 50 meters, he patiently accumulated strength, waiting for his "moment of power" to completely transform the potential brought by his height into an overwhelming advantage.

Extremely rapid burst.

Zhao Haohuan unfolded in an instant.

We must immediately begin to change the situation.

Once Zhao Haohuan crossed the 50-meter mark, his "final stretch" officially began.

This giant sprinter, who is over 190 centimeters tall, seemed to have switched operating modes in an instant.

The previously carefully maintained steady rhythm has been completely shattered.

The latent explosive power erupted like a volcano.

Instead of blindly increasing his stride frequency, he fully unleashed the potential of his stride length by leveraging the natural advantage of his height.

When pushing off the ground with the legs, there is no more restraint; the hips are fully opened, and the forward swing of the thighs is instantly increased, with each step carrying a "hurdle-like" extension and power.

His stride, which was already far superior to his opponent's, reached an astonishing level at this moment, covering nearly a step and a half of Brommel's distance in a single stride.

The technical advantage of his tall stature was fully demonstrated at this moment: Zhao Haohuan's torso remained stable, his core muscles were as taut as steel cables, avoiding the body swaying that is common for tall athletes when accelerating in the later stages, his shoulders were lowered without shrugging, and his upper and lower limbs formed a perfect power coordination.

His arm swing amplitude increased in sync, yet he always maintained a precise forward and backward trajectory without any lateral deviation. Each swing was like a "boost" for his long stride, efficiently transmitting upper limb power to his legs, forming a closed-loop power chain of "arm swing-push-stride".

This technique perfectly avoids the "dispersion of force" problem common among tall athletes, maximizing the mechanical advantages brought by height.

In contrast, Bromell, who was leading the race, gradually showed signs of fatigue after 50 meters. This 1.75-meter-tall athlete had his stride frequency advantage nearing its limit in the first half of the race. Although his center of gravity remained low, his explosive power when pushing off the ground was noticeably weakened.

His technical strengths are concentrated in short-distance sprints, with a fast stride frequency and a powerful start, but his height limits his stride length.

When Zhao Haohuan's stride length advantage was fully unleashed, Bromell's stride frequency advantage was instantly diluted.

He tried to maintain his lead by gritting his teeth and increasing his stride frequency, but this caused his movements to become distorted. His shoulders shrugged involuntarily.

The arm swings with a slight lateral sway, indicating a decrease in core control.

My body felt a bit bumpy at high speed.

The originally smooth rhythm was disrupted.

The rate of increase has stalled.

Ujah, who was right behind him, was now in a dilemma. This little Eagle athlete, who was over 1.8 meters tall, had neither Bromell's extreme stride frequency nor Zhao Haohuan's absolute stride length advantage. After 50 meters, he tried to increase both stride frequency and stride length at the same time, but ended up losing one for the other.

His push-off became rapid, his thighs swung forward too little, his stride length failed to increase effectively, and his stride frequency was difficult to maintain due to energy depletion.

Technical shortcomings are gradually becoming apparent.

The coordination between the upper and lower limbs became disconnected, the rhythm of arm swing and the frequency of pushing off the ground were no longer synchronized, the body swayed more, and the energy loss increased significantly. Not only did he fail to catch up with Bromell, but he was also quickly closed in by Zhao Haohuan behind him.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

60 meters, rapidly approaching.

At 70 meters, Zhao Haohuan completed a crucial comeback.

His every step was like solid rammed earth, landing steadily and with great propulsion. His tall figure stretched out like an arrow, forming a visually striking red silhouette on the track.

His speed advantage was fully revealed. When he ran, there were almost no extra footsteps, only the whistling sound of the wind cutting through the air. That overwhelming feeling of "one step decides the outcome" was something that smaller athletes could hardly achieve.

At this moment, his technical movements remained highly standardized, his ankles rebounded quickly, and the transition from heel to forefoot when pushing off the ground was smooth and natural.

There was no stiffness whatsoever.

Clearly, they haven't used up all their strength yet.

After Brommel was overtaken, the combined psychological and physical pressure caused his performance to decline continuously.

His face was contorted from excessive exertion, and the veins in his neck bulged. Although his stride frequency remained high, his stride length decreased further, and the propulsive force of each step was much weaker than before.

The shortcomings of shorter athletes are fully exposed in long-distance sprints.

With limited physical reserves and insufficient tolerance to lactic acid, his speed declined significantly in the later stages of the race. He could only watch helplessly as Zhao Haohuan's red figure ran further and further away, powerless to turn the tide.

His technique became increasingly distorted.

The swing of the arm became inconsistent, the body's center of gravity began to become unstable, and the lead was completely wiped out.

Ujah was completely left behind. His speed dropped the most, his once taut muscle lines became loose, his explosive power when pushing off the ground was greatly reduced, and both his stride frequency and stride length decreased.

He tried to imitate Zhao Haohuan's long stride running style, but due to the mismatch between his height and technical characteristics, his movements became stiff. While his stride length increased, his efficiency in pushing off the ground decreased sharply, which further reduced his overall speed.

Unlike Zhao Haohuan's relaxed and composed demeanor and Bromell's gritted teeth and perseverance, Ujah's running posture revealed a clear lack of strength. The continuity of his technical movements was disrupted, and he could only barely maintain his rhythm to ensure that he would not be overtaken by other athletes.

At the 80-meter mark, Zhao Haohuan's lead had widened to half a body length, and his speed remained consistently high, showing no signs of slowing down. His tall stature gave him better visibility while running, allowing him to clearly perceive the state of his opponents behind him, which made him more composed.

His core technique always revolves around "maximizing stride length and optimizing power generation," with flexible hip rotation, full forward swing of the thighs, and natural connection between calf muscle contraction and relaxation. Every movement serves to "continuously increase speed."

It demonstrates the control of a top-tier late-game player.

Brommel had given up on the chase and was now focused on securing second place in the group.

He adjusted his pace, trying to stabilize his technique and reduce energy consumption, but the excessive exertion in the first half left him with very little energy, and his speed continued to decline slowly.

Although his stride frequency was still faster than Zhao Haohuan's, the difference in stride length made it difficult for him to close the gap. The characteristic of small athletes being "strong in the short burst and weak in the later stages" was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Zhao Haohuan began to demonstrate his ability to "control and release at will." He realized that Bromel was no longer able to catch up and that his own lead was sufficient, so he consciously adjusted the intensity of his exertion, no longer pursuing extreme speed, but maintaining the existing rhythm to move forward steadily.

Even so, his stride was still far greater than that of his group opponents, and his running posture remained graceful and domineering, without the slightest slackening.

This switching between "power exertion and steady speed" demonstrates not only his precise control over his own condition but also the competitive wisdom of a top athlete.

There's no need to overexert yourself in the preliminary rounds; just make sure you advance.

Bromell managed to maintain his current speed with his tenacious willpower. Although his technique was still somewhat flawed, it had become more stable, and the resilience of a small athlete was evident in him.

He no longer paid attention to Zhao Haohuan ahead, but instead kept his eyes on Ujah behind him, making sure he was not overtaken. This "position-defending" running style was in stark contrast to Zhao Haohuan's "control-oriented" running style.

Ujah completely lost his competitiveness. His speed continued to decline, his technical movements became noticeably disjointed, his arm swing and push-off were no longer coordinated, and his body swayed more, clearly indicating that he had reached his physical limit.

His height disadvantage was fully exposed at this point. He could neither maintain a high stride frequency like Brommel nor maintain speed with a long stride like Zhao Haohuan. He could only struggle to advance on the track and ensure that he finished the race.

In the final 15 meters, Zhao Haohuan's relaxed posture became more and more obvious. His body began to relax, his stride shortened slightly, and he showed no intention of going all out to cross the finish line. He simply maintained a steady pace as he approached the finish line.

His eyes were calm, without the slightest excitement, as if he had just completed an ordinary training session. His tall figure moved forward calmly on the track, showing the domineering aura of a "king of the late game".

Bromell sprinted with his last bit of strength, increasing his stride frequency again in an attempt to close the gap before crossing the finish line, but his exhaustion left his push-offs lacking power, limiting his speed gains.

The sprinting ability of shorter athletes becomes apparent at this moment.

The pace was fast and the movements were compact, but the propulsion was insufficient, and the finishing action was slightly rushed.

Especially when they saw Zhao Haohuan slow down.

Bromell didn't know what he was thinking.

They actually started to get ruthless.

They gave chase.

Zhao Haohuan slowed down; he hadn't expected this guy to be so crazy.

This is just a preliminary round, why are you going all out?
Young people are young people.

Back in the day, when he participated in various competitions, he seemed to be prone to getting carried away.

Thinking about it that way, I felt relieved.

And it was completely unaffected by him, continuing to slow down.

Many people also get carried away and let these hotheads speed up their pace.

This is equivalent to wasting physical energy for nothing.

Zhao Haohuan remained calm and did not do that at all.

First, if you want it, you can have it.

It was just the preliminary round.

If it's the semifinals, you can say you're willing to fight for a better position in the finals, but what's the point of the preliminaries?
Zhao Haohuan watched Bromell pass by him.

As for the slightly pleased expression on Bromell's face, he pretended not to notice it.

Calm and composed.

"Zhao Haohuan was in the lead all the way, and then he started to let go. He should have been in first place in the group. But then, American player Bromell took the opportunity to overtake him."

"Brommel finished first in his group with a time of 9.91 seconds."

Zhao Haohuan finished second in his group with a time of 9.97 seconds.

"Chikindu Ujah Group 3rd 10.05".

……

Bromell had thought that his overtaking man would anger the Easterner.

To my surprise, when I turned around, they hadn't even looked at me.

It felt like he'd punched cotton.

It didn't feel real at all.

"What's your opinion on American player Bromell?"

Zhao Haohuan being interviewed in the mixed zone.

After thinking about it.

He spoke.
