The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2486: A draw against the world's number 1 right from the start!

Chapter 2486: A draw against the world's number one right from the start!

"Dear viewers, the athletes have now entered their respective lanes."

"The first lane is occupied by our athlete, Wei Yongli."

"Her semi-final time of 10.96 seconds showcased her talent and proved that she is a qualified finalist."

"She can show her best self here."

"Once she enters the finals, she can play without pressure, enjoy the match, and strive for another outstanding performance."

Wei Yongli appeared quite composed in front of the camera.

Smile brightly.

She knew it wouldn't be easy to recover and fire another shot in such a short time.

Therefore, he treated this match as a training session to push his dual-gun skills to the limit.

That would probably be better.

After discussing it with her coaching team.

That's how we set that goal.

When they saw that it was one of their own, they cheered without hesitation.

Wei Yongli got to enjoy superstar treatment.

Otherwise, if she were playing on another country's home turf, she would have had almost no chance of winning a medal as a finalist.

There couldn't possibly be such a huge cheer.

"Everyone seems really enthusiastic today," Yang Jian joked. "Alright, let's take a look at the contestants in lane 2."

"To be honest, I'm also surprised that this player is ranked here. She should be the fastest Q player in history."

"Chen Juan's old rival, Okabarre."

"It's hard to understand why Okabarrettak's 10.90 seconds is still ranked after Q."

"However, it doesn't seem so hard to understand in this era. Everyone is improving, and if you're even slightly behind, you might be squeezed out."

"However, we all know that this is not Okabarre's true strength. She is someone who has broken 10.80 seconds in her personal best."

"If she gets into good form this year, she still has a chance to compete for a medal."

"They even made direct threats against our athlete Chen Juan."

"It's in the second stage, but it shouldn't be underestimated."

Okabarre is really something else.

How could such a thing happen?
I was confident of making it to the finals, but who knew that even after setting a time of 10.90 seconds, I still almost didn't make it.

What kind of involution is this?
Are you all "roll kings"?
At first, she was actually a little worried.

Fortunately, the dust has settled, and they have finally entered the finals.

But things change once you get to the finals.

You should know that she has a solid statistic of 10.80 this year.

The wind speed was only 0.2 meters per second when the 10.80 seconds was achieved at the Stade de France.

This means that her raw strength is equally formidable this year.

It's even stronger than his 10.79-second run in 2013.

Because the wind speed of that shot was more than one meter.

In reality, his actual time is only around 10.86 seconds.

Therefore, her strength this year is actually the strongest she has been in recent years.

If the hard power reaches this standard, it means that as long as the wind speed is good enough.

Get into form and break 10.80 seconds.

There are almost no problems.

However, there are generally no strong winds in the competition, so the best way to improve is to look at the results based on actual strength.

Okabarre is also confident in his abilities.

She believed she had absolutely no problem escaping this shot.

Entering the finals puts her in some danger.

That was due to her carelessness.

Now I just need to be careful.

Then there are very few people who can rival him.

I'm aiming for a medal in this competition.

No one can stop you.

If she can defeat that Asian player on home soil and win the medal that should belong to her.

That would be perfect.

I'm actually a little excited about this.

“The third lane is Dutch athlete Dafner Spipers, who is 23 years old. This athlete had never broken 11 seconds before this year. His best time last year was 11.03 seconds.”

“第1次破10是今年5月份，合法风速上跑出了10秒94，风速1.8米每秒。”

"In July, I broke the 11-second barrier again at the London Diamond League, running 10.99 seconds. The wind speed for that race was 0.3 meters per second, but it was a headwind."

"In this final, he set a time of 10.92 seconds with almost no wind, showing his formidable strength."

"In the semi-finals, he upgraded his gears continuously and blasted a time of 10.83 seconds. I just don't know how much he expended. If he was too exhausted, it might affect his performance in the finals."

Yang Jian's normal analysis would be like this, but who knew that Dafner-Spippers had hidden so much.

If it weren't for Frazier holding firm,

In the original timeline, she would probably steal a gold medal.

She was very well prepared.

It was all for the sake of making a name for themselves at the Bird's Nest.

The national record of the Netherlands.

She will bear all the responsibilities in the future.

"Lane 4, American Tori Bowie."

"This black athlete's rise only began last year when he started breaking into the sub-11-second range, but he quickly reached 10.80 seconds."

"This year, he even blasted a 10.81-second time at the US Championships trials, proving that he is still one of the most competitive athletes."

"Looking at this, you can see that there are quite a few athletes in the 10.80+ speed range this year."

"Or rather, everyone is actually preparing for battle, just to unleash the passion that has been building up for two years without a major competition at the Bird's Nest this year."

Tori Bowie faces the audience.

He confidently opened his arms and said something.

However, she seriously overestimated the level of English proficiency in China.

In particular, there were quite a few middle-aged people present.

You need to make them knowledgeable in this area.

You're overthinking it now.

Therefore, no matter what she rambled on about.

Because the camera cuts through the scene quickly.

There was absolutely no time for anyone to react.

Why switch over? Because, of course, it's because...

Everyone is more interested in seeing the fifth one.

Instead of wanting to see the fourth one.

"The fifth one needs no introduction, the strongest legend of a woman alive, the Jamaican woman, the Miniature Lightning."

"Sheri-Ann Fraser-Price!"

"Her abilities speak for themselves; whether she becomes a newlywed wife or a newlywed mother, it won't affect her capabilities."

"A legend among legends, with almost the most impressive achievements among female players today."

"As long as she gets into good form for the competition, it's practically impossible to beat her."

"Judging from her performance this year, she may be the only person who can break 10.80 seconds."

"Because the wind speed at the Bird's Nest is not particularly good, it takes real strength to open the 10.80 at this time."

"In this respect, I estimate that only Frazier is truly qualified."

“She’s really amazing.” Liu Xiang looked at Frazier with some envy: “And she rarely gets injured. Giving birth doesn’t seem to affect her at all. She’s truly a living legend.”

"If you want to win a gold medal, you almost always have to pass her test."

If she doesn't agree...

"Then you have almost no chance."

Liu Xiang and Yang Jian have already made their point very clear.

This made it clear to most people present that Frazier was the biggest seed in this match.

Even though the vast majority of people at the scene supported Chen Juan.

However, for professional athletes, the focus is more on their individual hard skills.

In this respect, Fraser is irreplaceable.

Frazier is only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

But she exudes the aura of a superstar.

It's as if you can feel it even through the screen.

Liang Xiaojing looked at the female sprinter who was even shorter than herself.

He made up his mind.

I want to be a woman like her someday, a woman of inhuman pride despite my short stature.

A smaller player can beat a taller player.

Didn't Frazier set the best example?
Before her, the tallest female sprinter was at least 1.6 meters.

People like Joyner are almost all 1.70 meters tall.

In the previous international view, 1.6 meters was probably the ideal height for women to be both fast and not too bulky.

This is the height stage where it's easiest to achieve good results.

Or you could go even higher and use "I refuse to accept defeat" to defeat your opponent.

Short athletes under 1.60 meters tall.

Not many people were optimistic about it before.

Frazier opened up a new world for shorter players.

Therefore, in her mind, regardless of which country you are from, you are a contestant of all heights.

They will all have a place.

Therefore, it's normal for Liang Xiaojing to pay extra attention to her.

Her talent and performance deserve special attention.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Frazier started asking Chen Juan, who was standing next to him, all sorts of questions.

Anyway, after only a few words, they asked about the bent-arm start, and I don't know when this part started.

It seems like it's been like this for several years.

At first, Chen Juan was a little unaccustomed to it.

Now I've gotten used to it.

Anyway, she was just talking casually, and besides, she didn't really understand the core concepts.

I can only talk about what I know.

These aspects.

It's okay to talk about it.

It's difficult to deduce from these aspects how a bent-arm start can be successful.

"The fifth one."

Yang Jian took a deep breath, as if he wanted to fill his dantian.

It makes it easy to speak loudly.

"From the 100m silver medalist at the Moscow World Championships, the Asian version of Suarez, and the template for all female sprinters in Asia."

"Asian record holder".

"Chen Juan!!!"

Chen Juan is much more well-known in China than Wei Yongli, and she also has experience winning medals in major competitions.

This prompted the audience to spontaneously cheer for her name.

Chen Juan waved, facing the camera with a confident smile.

Over the years, she has long since become the leading lady who protects everyone from the wind and rain in front of the camera.

Instead of that little crybaby who only knows how to whine.

She was the only one among all the contestants in Asia.

They are competitive in international competitions.

Therefore, now no matter which Asian country you are from, when you see her, you should pray for her.

Because of her now.

This represents the competitiveness of Asian women's 100-meter sprinting.

This is a dialogue with other races.

It's no longer internal strife.

We must stand by her side.

"Chen Juan goes without saying; she broke her personal best again this year, becoming the true Asian record holder."

"Coincidentally, Li Xuemei, the former Asian record holder, is the team leader of her team."

"This has to be said to be a cycle."

"Chen Juan this year..." Yang Jian glanced at the documents in his hand, then continued:

"The best time I've ever achieved is 10.75 seconds, but that was only possible under high altitude and good wind conditions. At the Bird's Nest, the wind speed is not high, and it's also a flat area, so it's hard to say whether I can achieve a good time. It depends on the athlete's performance on the day."

"However, Chen Juan is a seasoned veteran who started competing in the national team at the age of thirteen or fourteen, so this problem should not be difficult for her."

"I think there's still a very good chance of winning a medal."

"Thinking about anything else is disrespectful to our opponents. We can only talk about it after we have accomplished it."

Yang Jian is right.

Chen Juan is not yet capable of competing for a gold medal.

Fraser is the one who suppresses everything here.

There's basically no chance of fighting her.

After all, Frazier has a raw skill level of 10.70+.

How could it be so easy to overturn?
They were able to maintain their top three positions.

That's already pretty good.

"In lane 7, Kelly Ambaptiste's career best time of 10.84 seconds was achieved this year, and she was able to do the same time back in 2010, so her peak endurance is quite long. However, she has never broken 10.80 seconds before. These two 10.84-second runs were also achieved under different wind conditions. Therefore, whether she can run this time in the relatively enclosed Bird's Nest will depend on her performance in the final."

"However, she is a veteran born in 86, and her peak period will not last much longer, so she still needs to seize the opportunity."

"In lane 8 is Jamaican athlete Veronica Campbell Brown."

"Since Frazier burst onto the scene, her brilliance has been overshadowed to some extent, but that doesn't stop her from still being a great athlete. Her career best time is 10.76 seconds, and this year's best time is also 10.80+. However, as she gets older, it will become increasingly difficult for her to break 10.80 seconds again."

"It is unknown how many more years she can maintain her peak career. If no new Jamaican runners take her place, then her position in the relay race will gradually lose its competitiveness."

"Her main task this year should still be to win medals, and to create a double insurance for medals with Frazier."

"Alright, the contestants have all been introduced."

"Now it all depends on how well everyone performs."

"How well you perform is the key."

"At this point, the original value of Pb is no longer important."

"Competitions are more about whether you can perform to your full potential."

"Yes, I agree with that."

Liu Xiang said, "Because when you stand on the starting line of the final, your previous achievements have become the past."

"Achieving new and better results should be your priority right now."

"If you rely too much on your past performance, it is very likely that you will create some mental constraints on yourself in the final competition."

"This may not be conducive to achieving good results."

"Then there's our athlete Chen Juan. She just needs to perform well; she already has the ability to consistently compete for medals. However, female athletes are different from male athletes; the gap between them is smaller. If anyone's performance suddenly falters, they could be replaced."

"so."

"It's better to maintain a consistent performance."

"There's no need to follow other people's pace too closely."

……

While the commentators were talking, everyone on the field had already begun their preparations.

The electronic password also went off.

On your marks.

The red track looked like a straightened blood vessel in the night.

The lights made the eight starting lines appear white.

A short, sharp beep came from the loudspeaker, and the clamor of the crowd seemed to be silenced by an invisible hand, leaving only breaths and heartbeats intertwining in the air.

The eight contestants took their positions, from lane one to lane eight, like eight bows strung on a string, waiting for the same command.

set.

Lane 1, Wei Yongli. Her entry was consistently steady, and now, standing at the starting line, she embodied that "steadiness" in every detail. She stood with her feet shoulder-width apart, her front foot on the back edge of the starting line, her back knee slightly bent, and her weight evenly distributed between her feet.

Her hands hung naturally at her sides, her fingertips lightly touching the ground, as if feeling the temperature and elasticity of plastic. Her gaze was calm, fixed on an invisible point three meters ahead. Her breathing was even, each breath like adding pressure to her body. She didn't pursue exaggerated preparatory movements, but silently calibrated the rhythm in her mind—"Listen to the command, rise, push off, send."

Simple, direct, and devoid of unnecessary emotions.

Since there was no pressure, she was able to go into the fray with a light heart.

I feel like this is the competition I've never faced with the least psychological pressure.

Because the goals that needed to be achieved have already been completed ahead of schedule, there is not enough strength to move up further.

Therefore, she is currently in a state of mind where she will give it her all if she can, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't.

Lane two, Okabaré. Her warm-up was light and quick, but when she stood at the starting line, the smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes showed a hint of urgency. She adjusted the angle of the starting blocks three times, stepping on and off with her feet, as if searching for the perfect point of leverage.

With both hands braced against the starting line, fingers gripping the rubber tightly, forearm muscles taut.

You could tell she desperately wanted to run away, desperately wanted to prove herself with that one shot—this eagerness was like an invisible rope, tightening her nerves.

Her breathing was a little erratic, not because of nervousness, but because her desire to win was causing her body to enter a state of over-excitement prematurely.

The main reason is that after she gradually reached her peak, in various competitions, she was either unprepared, too anxious, and wasted her physical strength, resulting in a poor performance in the finals, or she was ultimately defeated by Chen Juan or others, preventing her from winning a medal.

Anyway, in all these major competitions, I haven't achieved particularly good results.

That, of course, made her a little anxious.

After all, her personal profile picture has already reached a very high level.

The current honors are not commensurate.

Therefore, she urgently needs the honor of the competition to protect herself.

Otherwise, she would be branded as a substandard contestant in the competition.

like a statue.

Lane 3, Dafner Spipers. The Dutch athlete has a well-proportioned physique and stands at the starting line like a tall, straight tree.

Her preparatory movements displayed the restraint and precision characteristic of European athletes.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned inward, knee bent at 45 degrees, weight shifted forward, hands naturally placed at your sides with elbows slightly bent.

Instead of staring at the starting line, she looked up at the track ahead, as if measuring the distance or giving herself a mental boost.

Her warm-up was "paper-style," with every movement based on a theoretical basis, and the preparation for this moment was no exception.

We don't pursue extreme explosive power, but only stability at the start and smoothness in transition.

Fourth, Tory Bowie.

The American athlete's long legs were particularly eye-catching under the lights, and her preparation movements were clean and crisp, without any hesitation.

Stand with your feet slightly wider apart than other competitors, front foot firmly planted, back foot lightly touching the ground, like a leopard ready to pounce.

With hands placed on either side of the hips and elbows bent, the swinging motion of the arms traces two invisible arcs in the air.

There was a calm ruthlessness in his eyes, not from an eagerness to prove himself, but from a belief in his own abilities.

The breaths are deep, each one like storing energy in the body, waiting to be released at the moment of activation.

She wanted to compete for the championship in this competition.

Therefore, good pre-match preparation is essential.

Lane 5, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price.

Jamaica's "starting queen" stands in the center of the track; her very presence exudes an aura.

Her preparation was extremely simple:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with the toes of your front foot pointing towards the center line of the track and your back knee slightly bent.

Lower the center of gravity.

With hands hanging naturally at your sides, fingertips almost touching the ground.

There were no superfluous movements, no exaggerated poses, he simply stood quietly, like a silent mountain.

Fraser's gaze was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world consisted only of her and the starting line.

The breathing was very light, almost inaudible, but the energy in the body was like a volcano, quietly accumulating beneath the surface calm.

For her, starting is an "instinct," a reaction ingrained in her bones from countless training sessions.

No need to think.

Simply execute it.

She has this confidence.

In this era where no competitor can threaten her, she is the strongest competitor. As long as she performs consistently, she has a high probability of winning the championship.

As for the mindset during the competition.

Sorry, but for Frazier, it was a piece of cake.

The sixth one, Chen Juan.

Her tall figure of 1.75 meters stood out in lane six, and her preparatory movements had a unique "extension and compactness".

She stood with her feet slightly apart than Fraser, her front foot firmly planted on the ground while her back foot was lightly raised on tiptoe, as if sensing the reaction force from the ground.

What's most striking is her arms—instead of letting them hang naturally or resting them on the ground like the other competitors, she keeps them bent at 90 degrees, with her hands placed in front of her body and her fingertips facing each other.

This bent-arm starting posture is rare, but it perfectly complements her height advantage.

As the only woman, she is the only athlete who has truly mastered the bent-arm technique.

She certainly has her own unique advantages.

Bending the arm shortens the radius of the swing arm, making the swing arm faster and more powerful when starting, while also driving the hip forward, bringing out the advantage of long legs at the first moment.

Her eyes were bright, not with eagerness, but with confidence.

She knew her start wasn't the strongest, but by adding a bent-arm start, she could make up for her weakness to the greatest extent.

She is confident in her start—if she performs well, there is a good chance she can win a medal.

After all, her strength is not weak now.

Lane 7, Kelly-Ann Baptiste. The Caribbean runner's smile was infectious; even standing at the starting line, a relaxed smile graced her lips.

Her preparatory movements were very flexible: she stood with her feet apart, the toes of her front foot slightly turned out, and her back knee bent, gently swaying her weight back and forth between her feet, as if she were finding a rhythm.

The arms swing naturally, with small amplitude but a high frequency, as if keeping time for the body.

Lane 8, Veronica Campbell-Brown. The composure of a veteran is on full display in her.

She stood on the outermost lane, unaffected by her position at the edge, appearing even more composed.

Her preparation was slow and meticulous, with every detail carefully executed: her feet firmly planted on the starting blocks, and her knees bent at the correct angle.

Lower your center of gravity and place your hands on the ground.

The fingertips are gently separated, as if building a stable "force exertion frame" for oneself.

Her gaze swept past the runners ahead and landed on the finish line, as if she were looking at the countless tracks she had run on.

His breathing was deep and steady.

Each bite felt like a soothing comfort to my nerves.

Her starting technique is a testament to "experience." She doesn't pursue the fastest reaction, but rather the most stable connection, striving to make every push-off as clean as possible.

Every contestant who has reached this level is incredibly skilled.

It all comes down to who performs better.

Even Frazier, if he makes a mistake.

It's very likely they won't win the championship.

The gap between women today, in this era.

There is no Bolt.

Logically speaking, everyone should have a chance.

"Look at Chen Juan's shot."

Yang Jian lowered his voice and said, "Let's see if she can get to the Bird's Nest."

"Spread your wings and soar."

The only sounds on the track were breathing adjustments.

Everyone's breathing rhythm and breathing pattern are different.

Now, even breathing cannot be disturbed.

If you exercise regularly, you'll know that breathing is important for generating power.

Extremely important.

If the sensation of breathing does not have a symmetrical point of exertion.

That would result in a significant loss of power output.

They will be far inferior to those who focus their breathing and exertion on output.

All eight contestants lowered their center of gravity simultaneously.

The body is like a compressed spring.

ready.

Wei Yongli kept her back straight, her core engaged, and her gaze fixed ahead.

Okabaré gripped his hands tighter, his breathing became rapid, his body trembled slightly, and his eagerness was almost overflowing.

Spipers maintained perfect balance without swaying at all.

Bowie's long legs were slightly tense, like a fully drawn bowstring.

Frazier's body was almost pressed against the ground, his eyes devoid of any emotion, only focused.

Chen Juan's bent-arm posture became more compact, with her elbows close to her sides and her fingertips slightly numb. She could feel her nerves throbbing excitedly.

Baptiste's smile faded, his gaze became focused, and he increased the frequency of his arm swings.

Campbell Brown's body is like a rock, so stable it gives you peace of mind.

The bird's nest gradually quieted down.

Everyone was waiting for this shot to start.

"You need to stay calm."

Liu Xiang also whispered, "Don't be in a hurry."

The starting commands seemed a bit slow today.

However, the starting commands vary from person to person and there is no fixed rhythm, otherwise everyone could memorize them and practice recoil control.
The bodies of the eight contestants tensed up to the extreme in an instant.

Push off the ground with the balls of your feet.

The back knee is bent at its maximum angle, and the arms are ready to swing.

Wei Yongli's breath stopped in her chest, waiting for the moment to start.

Because she doesn't have much pressure, the speed doesn't matter to her.

Okabaré's heart was pounding, and the only word on his mind was "run." However, due to excessive excitement, his body's rhythm became disordered.

If that shot had been fired the instant before.

That might actually make her run even better.

But I missed that beat.

The sensation of breathing has also changed.

It could turn into something bad.

Spipers' brain was like a sophisticated instrument, calculating every detail of the startup.

A fierce glint flashed in Bowie's eyes; his body was ready with energy.

Frazier's body resembled a cheetah poised to pounce, with muscles in perfect balance.

She doesn't care whether it's fast or slow, because she has absolute confidence in her abilities.

Chen Juan's bent arm was ready for the first swing, and the excitement in her nerves brought her reaction speed to its peak.

When Chen Juan heard the gunshot, she didn't think of anything at first.

Since we were a step too late.

That means...

I definitely won't stay for long.

What else?
A thought arose in her mind.

Baptiste's arm swing stopped in front of his chest, waiting for the last word of the command.

Campbell-Brown leaned forward slightly; experience told her that the moment of activation was approaching.

……

A few breaths.

I was getting a little impatient.

Sudden.

Gunfire rang out.

The gunshot, like a thunderclap, shattered the silence of the night.

Almost at the same instant the gunshot rang out, Frazier in lane five and Chen Juan in lane six moved simultaneously.

Frazier's start was an instinctive outburst, without the slightest hesitation. Her back foot slammed into the ground, and the ground reaction force propelled her body forward like a tremendous force.

Her hands swung naturally, with large and fast movements, propelling her hips forward and instantly maximizing her stride frequency.

Frazier's body shot out from the starting line like a black lightning bolt, without the slightest hesitation or unnecessary movement.

This is the strength of the "starting queen"—her reaction at the start, the connection of her power, and the control of her rhythm have all reached a perfect level.

Chen Juan was in the lane next to him.

Because he and Frazier have run together too many times.

She actually has experience.

Not affected by much.

She started with her unique bent-arm start.

They gave a response that was just as impressive.

The one used here is just as good.

It's not an exaggerated adjective.

The one used here is just as good.

It is a complete statement.

He is describing everything that is happening on the field.

Chen Juan.

Actually.

During the startup phase.

And Fred, who has already adjusted his form to the level of a major competition.

The same.

Almost at startup.

Not at a disadvantage.

Completely equal.

This……

Frazier himself didn't expect it.

Although I know that Chen Juan starts with her arms bent, as long as I adjust my condition well, I can still overpower her by relying on my smaller height, smaller center of gravity, and less inertia.

It's always been like this.

It's impossible for her not to be in a good state of mind during a major competition.

So, according to her thinking, this shot was...

As before, it's all about getting ahead.

But that's the feeling I got from her just now.

How I feel about her now.

This girl with a ponytail from the East.

Actually.

In terms of starting up, we are neck and neck with her.

They are neck and neck.

It is also a declarative sentence.

It simply means describing the facts.
