Chapter 2528 This world is never short of dark horses

Chapter 2528 This world is never short of dark horses
The final list of those who advanced is as follows:
Semifinal Group 1: Zaner Hughes, Nicol Ashmed.

Semifinal Group 2: Xie Zhengye, Justin Gatlin.

Semifinal Group 3: Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake.

Xiao Q: Zhou Bing, Anaso Giovadwana.

Anasso Giovadevanagh jumped up from the ground in excitement upon learning that he had made it to the finals.

She was only 0.01 meters taller than Edward.

If she were eliminated so easily, all the effort she had put in to prepare would have been for nothing, and that was definitely not something she wanted to do.

It's okay to release water, but you can't let yourself out too.

Seeing that I had successfully entered the finals, I almost burst into tears of joy.

The next day arrived.

The final is about to begin.

The first event was naturally the women's 200-meter final.

The roster appeared on the screen as soon as the match started.

Group 1 Elaine Thompson 22.13.

Candace McGlone 22.26.

Group 2 Daphnaspips 22.36.

Chen Juan 22.52.

Group 3 Dina Asher-Smith 22.12.

Jenny Batamor 22.38.

Little Q: Yvet Lalova Collio 22.32.

Little Q: Veronica Campbell Brown 22.47.

Because the competition was so fierce, several teams had already surpassed the Moscow final champions in the semifinals.

This was somewhat unexpected for Chen Juan.

The other contestants didn't even have a chance to make it to the finals.

Wei Yongli tried her best, but could only stop here.

The women's semifinals were a real challenge.

This is always the case.

The Moscow tournament was really a relatively weak one.

That's why they had the opportunity to win the silver medal.

China Sports Channel.

"At the Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest), the night breeze dispelled the daytime heat, but it couldn't dispel the heat wave in the stands."

"The upcoming competition is the women's 200-meter final. I am Yang Jian."

"I am Liu Xiang."

As the two were talking, the large screen in the venue began to display the rolling list of those who had advanced.

The synthetic running track was illuminated as brightly as day.

Even the fine lines left by the cleats during the semi-finals are still clearly visible.

After major competitions, the track and facilities need to be repaired to some extent. This is a consensus in almost all competitions, after all, the athletes' physical qualities are extraordinary.

The fact that they use it once is equivalent to an ordinary person using it hundreds of times.

The chatter and cheers of more than 100,000 spectators mingled together, buzzing and filling the entire stadium on the evening breeze.

The glow sticks in everyone's hands flickered on and off, their eyes fixed on the giant electronic screen beside the track.

There, the complete roster for the women's 200-meter final is scrolling over and over again.

And then there's the impressive record they achieved in the semifinals.

No one will forget how fierce the semi-finals were yesterday. There were three groups, with the top two from each group advancing directly, and then the two fastest players, Xiao Q, were selected from the remaining contestants.

Each of the eight tickets to the finals was earned through sheer hard work and dedication.

Even for Chen Juan, advancing was not easy.

In the commentary booth, two chairs were placed side by side. Veteran commentator Yang Jian took a sip of warm water from his thermos cup, tapped the results list in front of him with his fingertip, and chatted with Liu Xiang next to him for a bit before turning on the microphone.

After the director gave a "ready" gesture, the two adjusted their headsets at the same time. Yang Jian turned on his microphone first, and his voice, coming through the broadcast, was steady and down-to-earth.

It instantly silenced half of the noise in the room.

"I believe that those who watched the semi-finals yesterday are here for today's final! To be honest, my palms were sweating watching those three semi-finals yesterday. The difference between each group was between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds. None of the eight girls who made it to today's final are pushovers!"

Liu Xiang nodded slightly, his finger lingering on the names Dina Asher-Smith and Elaine Thompson on the list, his tone softening: "Indeed, let's look at this list first, it's very interesting. The fastest in the semifinals isn't Thompson, it's Dina in the third heat, 22.12 seconds, just 0.01 seconds faster than Thompson—Thompson was the winner of the first heat, 22.13 seconds. These two are the top favorites tonight."

"And look at the contestants behind you!" Yang Jian raised his voice slightly, his gaze falling on the list of the second group, his tone filled with pride.

"Our Chinese athlete Chen Juan, with a time of 22.52 seconds, successfully broke through from the second heat! Although this result is not the top among the eight athletes, competing on home soil, her courage and fighting spirit deserve our applause!"

"Furthermore, she has a wealth of experience in major competitions, having won a silver medal in Moscow. Hopefully, she can withstand the pressure and perform well in the final."

Upon hearing this, cheers of "Go Chen Juan!" erupted from the stands and continued for a long time.

Looking at Chen Juan's name on the big screen, Liu Xiang's eyes showed more approval: "I've been following Chen Juan. Her strengths are a strong and steady start, and she controls the centrifugal force very well on the curves. Her weakness is that her absolute speed is still a bit slower than these people. In the semi-finals, she ran 22.52, which was a normal performance, and she didn't go all out. Tonight in the finals, as long as she maintains her own rhythm, doesn't get thrown off balance by other people's speed, and can perform at her best, that will be a victory."

"Alright, now the contestants will begin entering the arena."

"Varonica Campbell Brown in lane 1, her semi-final qualifying time was 22.47. For familiar viewers, there's no need to say more. If she were in her prime, she would have no problem winning the championship. Now, it's unknown how much energy she has left, or how much fuel she has left in the tank."

"Yewit Lalova Collio in lane 2 advanced to the semifinals with a score of 22.32."

"The former prodigy has made a triumphant return. Although she set her 200m personal best back in 2004, she was able to run 22.51 seconds against a headwind of more than a meter. She was definitely the next women's sprint queen. She also broke 10.80 seconds in the 100m. It's just a pity that she has been plagued by injuries. Fortunately, her form has improved this year, and she is very likely to break her own career record of 22.51 seconds set in 2004."

"If it can be done, it is also advantageous for medal contenders."

"In lane 3, Dina Asher-Smith's semifinal time was 22.12 seconds. This time has already surpassed the champion of the Moscow World Championships two years ago. Just how strong she is depends on how well she performs in her role."

"Her best results this year have repeatedly broken records, let's see if she has a chance to win the championship. Anyway, her coach said that she is aiming for the championship."

"Let's see how much of it is exaggerated and how much is factual."

"If we can win, we can win the first sprint gold medal in a major competition for the Little Eagles in many years."

"This is also an excellent opportunity for the athletes themselves."

The camera continues to move.

We've reached the fourth lane.

"Lane 4, Elaine Thompson, with a time of 22.13 seconds. To achieve this time in the semifinals is quite terrifying, and it also surpasses the Moscow champion's time."

Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh, "These days, there are quite a few people who have surpassed the champion's record."

"Even if Frazier competes here, he doesn't have much of a chance to defend his title."

"Therefore, her decision to defend her 100-meter title seems quite wise."

The 5th one.

Daphnaspeps

"This athlete is the third-place finisher in the 100 meters. His qualifying time in the semifinals was 22.36 seconds, which is somewhat weak compared to the previous two golden lanes where the time was 22.1x seconds."

"However, I think she is capable. In the semifinals, it's just that there weren't any strong opponents in her group, so she didn't need to run very fast to advance."

"This does not mean she lacks ability."

This athlete was already able to run a time of 22.69 seconds in 2011.

It was still at the World Championships.

Back then, he was a sensation.

In the following years, I heard that they were making changes to the technology. After all, they were still young and had plenty of time.

There has been no significant progress in three years.

Even when compared to Daegu, their performance declined slightly.

But this strange thing came to an abrupt end last year, because she suddenly broke through her own record to 22.03 seconds.

It propelled its Pb forward for more than 0.6 seconds in one go.

That means it jumped up more than a dozen levels in one go.

Just terrible.

This is the advantage of a successful technical modification.

It's also a technical change, and it's perfectly normal for it to take several years to complete.

Therefore, if an athlete changes their technique, especially drastically, and doesn't achieve results for several years, don't be too critical.

Because that's probably just how technology is.

Moreover, when she achieved this result last year, she already possessed the ability to fire a 22-second shot, because this 22.03-second time was actually...

It can be done 100 meters against the wind.

How about adding a little more wind speed?

Breaking 22 seconds is very possible.

Her current season best is 22.09 seconds.

It was achieved at the Moroccan Diamond League, also with a headwind of 0.3 meters.

Therefore, she possesses abilities this year that are no less than those last year.

Based on the champion of the Moscow World Championships, she is very likely to win the title.

Of course, no one could have guessed that this woman was actually the most troublesome one among them.

She improved by much more than just a little...

Just a tiny bit.

If we say that last year she pulled her Pb up by more than 0.6 in one go, that was a terrifying boost.

Then no one could have imagined it.

This year, her grades will improve by nearly 10 levels.

This is the truly terrifying effect of the completed technical changes, within two years.

She moved up about 20 levels.

Tell me if this is an exaggeration or not.

She is actually the true goddess this year.

Even if you brought over a prime Felix.

It's not necessarily a sure thing that I can beat her.

Therefore, she was actually the most composed one among them this year.

Even watching these athletes achieve one great result after another, even surpassing their winning times at the Moscow World Championships...

If you observe carefully, you'll find that it has almost no impact on her.

She acted as if she hadn't seen what was happening.

There was hardly any action taken.

They were just going about their own business.

This means either they are very confident, or they have given up.

Which type do you think she is?
The sixth path.

The cheers from the crowd suddenly grew louder.

"A Chinese athlete, the silver medalist in the 200 meters at the Moscow World Championships!"

"The top active athlete in China and all of Asia in the 200 meters!"

"She's the female sprinter who just won the silver medal in the 100 meters at the Bird's Nest..."

"Chen Juan!!!"

Chen Juan immediately waved to everyone in salute.

But you could tell she seemed a little distracted, because the overall results at this World Championships were improving...

There are too many.

She was still judging based on the results of the previous two competitions.

It seems like they've already made significant progress.

But what if so many good results suddenly appeared?

Let alone being second place.

Even if you were the champion from Moscow, Frazier, came.

Whether they can withstand it is another matter.

Under such immense pressure, she should naturally focus her mind first.

Don't think about other problems.

The seventh path.

American athlete Candace McGlone.

The semi-final score was 22.26.

The eighth one.

Jani Batam.

These two American players don't have much of a reputation left.

Back in the day, when American athletes appeared, the cheers were deafening.

Especially the former socialite, Joyce, back then.

That's like a pear blossom overshadowing a crabapple.

It's a pity that after Griffith Joyner left, the level of training around the world kept getting higher and higher.

The more the US team wants to maintain its dominant position, the more difficult it will be.

Especially the rise of the Jamaican team in recent years.

This left the American team in a sorry state, both in men's and women's sprints.

Now, they can't even guarantee a medal, let alone win the championship.

Especially since Felix isn't here.

They also lacked a leader.

This mission will allow us to enter the finals and secure one of the remaining spots.

That's already pretty good.

Even among their peers, few believed this group of American athletes could win medals.

Not to mention gold medals.

"Alright, the race is about to begin. The athletes are gradually lining up on the track."

"Let's see who will be the queen of the 200 meters at the Bird's Nest this year."

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, the electronic password sounded.

set.

A few seconds later.

Bang——————

The roar of the starting gun suddenly pierced the night sky above the Bird's Nest.

Without any build-up or hesitation, the eight tracks of the women's 200m final at the 2015 Beijing World Athletics Championships were set up.

It was ignited instantly.

"Game start!"

Yang Jian roared.

Veronica Campbell-Brown, in lane one, is a 33-year-old Jamaican veteran. With her body slightly leaning forward, she exudes a tenacious spirit that defies age as she swings her arm straight.

Yves Lalova-Collio, in lane two, is a veteran with the Bulls logo. His stride is tight, and although his starting reaction isn't top-notch, he quickly gets into the running rhythm thanks to his years of experience.

Dina Asher-Smith in lane three, with a semifinal fastest time of 22.12 seconds, donned her GBR racing jersey. Young and spirited, her eyes shone with unwavering confidence in winning, showcasing exceptional cornering adaptability from the very start.

Elaine Thompson in lane four was the Jamaican star who was the favorite in the race before the competition. Her coach said before the race that she was aiming for the championship and wanted to keep the championship in Jamaica.

It's clear that they are very confident in their breakthrough performance this time, even though she was born in 92.

But it is already full of ambition.

Dafner Spipers in lane five was still the most "unremarkable" presence on the field at this moment.

No one paid much attention to this contestant born in 1992. Her semi-final time of 22.36 seconds only ranked in the middle among the eight finalists. Some even thought that her entry into the final was just due to luck.

After all, this year's results weren't outstanding either.

In addition, she made a significant breakthrough last year.

We need to let things settle down a bit.

But no one knew that this contestant, nicknamed "Little Underwear," had been preparing for a long time.

This final is not her battle to break through.

She came here for this match...

Disruptive.

And he stirred up this mess.

It's a game for gold medals.

Chen Juan, in lane six, is the only Chinese player on this track.

The moment the gun fired, she revealed her long-honed bent-arm starting posture—a unique move she developed by drawing on men's sprinting techniques and combining them with her own characteristics. Her elbows were close to her waist and abdomen, and the angle between her forearms and upper arms was locked at 45°. She swung tightly around her shoulders, without any lateral redundancy.

Each arm swing precisely engages the hip, knee, and ankle joints in a synchronized manner.

As the only athlete to use a bent-arm start, her start was incredibly smooth. She pushed off the ground with all her might with the balls of her feet, leaned her torso forward slightly, and coordinated her head and spine, instantly gaining a slight advantage at the start.

But this advantage.

In the face of the speed storm of the world's top athletes, they ultimately appear too insignificant.

The claim about Moscow was simply a misunderstanding.

Because that result was indeed relatively weak.

So I feel like I'm doing alright.

It would be truly a high-stakes competition like this.

They will immediately appear to be at a disadvantage.

Don't think that just because you won a silver medal in a major competition, you're truly second in the world.

Many times, even champions...

You can pick one up from either of them.

But that doesn't mean that you are the champion of the competition, or that you are the strongest.

This is unprecedented in the history of the competition.

To give just one example, the 110-meter hurdles in 09, which is exactly what happened on the original timeline, is an example of this.

That champion was truly one of the most undeserving champions.

If any one of Liu Xiang's competitors were still around, she wouldn't have been able to win the championship.

They're not even on the same level.

Because those people were injured, or had various other problems that prevented them from coming.

They were directly admitted to the championship.

That's how amazing it is.

Candace McGlone, an American star in lane 7, consistently ranked among the top in the semifinals with a time of 22.26 seconds, making her another medal favorite besides Thompson and Dina.

As for Jeremy Tamer in lane eight, he is also an American athlete. He is tall and has an outstanding stride. After the start, he quickly extended his stride with his long limbs.

They were trying to gain the upper hand during the curve phase.

It's just a pity that her actual strength is still not enough.

When you lack sufficient hard power, you generally need to spend more.

It's all in vain.

This isn't to say she's not good enough. She's definitely good enough to qualify from the US Championships. The question is whether she can maintain her form.
Her performance this year has been very inconsistent during major competitions.

Mingming even broke his own record this year, running a time of 22.23 seconds.

However, his performance in the competition was surprisingly poor.

As soon as it was started, something was wrong.

They took too big a step.

Thank goodness he's not a boy.

Otherwise, this could easily lead to serious problems.

Girls don't talk nonsense.

However, it will definitely affect your overall speed.

In the first 30 meters after the gunshot, Chen Juan was in the lead.

But the results were much worse than in Moscow.

Besides her, Dina Asher-Smith in lane three and Elaine Thompson in lane four took the lead instantly thanks to their exceptional starting explosiveness and cornering adaptability.

The difference between the two remained very small, but Dina's starting pace on the curve was faster, with a denser stride frequency, and each step was precisely placed at the balance point of centrifugal force.

Thompson slowed his pace slightly, widened his stride, and ran close to Dina with stronger power transfer, his eyes filled with an air of dominance.

All eyes were focused on the intense tug-of-war between Jamaica and the Eagles in lanes three and four. Yang Jian, the commentator, spoke with great enthusiasm, his pace almost unable to keep up with the players' pace.

"Start! Dina is the fastest! Thompson is right behind! The two figures are almost neck and neck!"

"These are the two players who were most favored before the competition; their rhythm is just too good!"

Liu Xiang held the microphone, his gaze steady, his tone professional and rigorous: "Dina's acceleration on the three corners is very efficient, and she controls the centrifugal force in the corners very well, which is her advantage; Thompson is saving her strength, her explosive power in the later stages is her killer move, she is waiting, waiting for the straight after the corner, that is the moment she will completely leave her opponent behind."

Nobody noticed Spipers in the fifth lane.

This dark horse is currently keeping a steady pace behind the leading group, consistently maintaining its third or fourth position. It hasn't blindly accelerated to catch up with Chen Juan, Dina, and Thompson, nor has it been overtaken by McGonagall behind it.

Her start wasn't the fastest, her arm swing wasn't the most powerful, and her stride frequency wasn't the most frequent, but every step she took was incredibly steady, every arm swing was incredibly precise, and every push-off from the ground was incredibly solid.

She didn't follow Dina's fast pace, nor did she imitate Thompson's wide stride, nor did she adopt Chen Juan's bent-arm start technique.

She simply followed her predetermined path, keeping pace with the rhythm step by step, accumulating strength little by little.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Soon the whole world will know.

Her preparation was not a retreat or cowardice, but a long-planned period of dormancy.

Her semi-final time of 22.36 seconds was just a smokescreen she deliberately released!
She knew that the only way to stand out from top players like Thompson, Dina, and McGonagall was to hide her true strength.

In the final moments of the final, he unleashed his ultimate weapon.

This was the result of discussions between her and her coaching team.

Her coach and Thompson's coach in Jamaica have completely different styles.

He knew that his disciple possessed an explosive power far exceeding everyone's expectations.

It contains the courage to break free from oneself.

It harbors a resolute determination to "remain silent until it makes a stunning debut."

And this accumulated power will finally explode the moment the curve turns into a straightaway.

Chen Juan in lane six is currently giving her all to maintain her position. Her advantage from the bent-arm start lasted for less than 50 meters.

As the track gradually enters the curves, the centrifugal force increases, and top athletes who started on straightaways quickly adjust their bodies by relying on their stronger core strength and cornering techniques.

While Chen Juan's bent-arm start reduced air resistance and sped up the start transition, it ultimately couldn't offset...

The gap in hard power.

There's really no way around it; this group of people are just too strong.

There were three or four people stronger than Frazier in Moscow.

Who can stand this?

She could feel it clearly.

I've pushed my stride frequency to the limit and used up 80% of my arm swing power.

The force of pushing off the ground with the soles of the feet almost completely drained the potential of the calf muscles.

But Dina, Thompson, Spipers, and McGonagall in front of her were still gradually widening the gap.

During the curve, she used the inertia of centrifugal force to stabilize her torso at an angle of about 12°, reduced the swing of her side arm, and moderately increased the force of her outer arm in an attempt to maintain her rhythm.

But every time I exert myself, I can feel the gap between myself and the top players.

It's not that the technique isn't sophisticated enough, nor that the rhythm isn't stable enough; it's simply a difference in raw strength.

It is a comprehensive gap in explosive power, endurance, and power transmission efficiency.

At that moment, images from the 2013 Moscow World Championships suddenly flashed through Chen Juan's mind.

At that time, she won the silver medal in the women's 200 meters with a time of 22.31 seconds.

At that moment, she thought she had reached the top of the world and that she was capable of competing with the world's top players.

Even though they were only one step away from the championship.

But at this moment.

Standing on the final track at the Bird's Nest, she suddenly understood...

The silver medal in Moscow was merely the starting point of her peak; this is the true battlefield for the women's 200 meters.

A brutal battle where there is no room for luck or chance, only hard power prevails.

It's much crueler here than in Moscow.

"Chen Juan! That bent-arm start was beautiful!"

"But Thompson and the others... caught up from behind!"

Yang Jian's voice carried a hint of regret; she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Chen Juan is putting in a lot of effort; she's desperately trying to hold onto her position, but ultimately, her raw strength can't compare!"

"The advantage is getting smaller and smaller."

Just when many people thought Cheng Jian was out of shape or had overexerted herself in the 100-meter dash, only her coach and her team were there to help.

Only then did I understand.

Chen Juan has no problems at all this year; in fact, she's in much better shape than she was in Moscow.

result.

However, they had a much worse start than Moscow.

What does this mean?

Or perhaps Chen Juan made a mistake here.

Or maybe...

These people all performed exceptionally well.

The overall strength of this competition.

It was much better than the one in Moscow.

This is why there are situations where a country's hard power has clearly improved significantly compared to Moscow.

But it happens in the earlier stages.

They gained even fewer advantages.

However, the specific situation will depend on the results after the competition.

At that moment, everyone's hearts clenched.

Unexpectedly, Chen Juan, who had already started running with her arms bent, gained an advantageous position here...

Not too big.

Overall, it is even much smaller than Moscow.

This is what makes the women's 200 meters so terrifying.

Wei Yongli and Liang Xiaojing couldn't help but hold hands.

I really didn't expect that Chen Juan, who is practically invincible in Asia, would be like this.

Even after giving it our all, we could only manage such a small advantage.

Is this the difficulty of the World Series?

No wonder Sister Xiaojuan never slacks off.

Even with this level of strength, they still don't have much of an advantage.

How could I dare to slack off?

Liu Xiang's tone was filled with emotion and empathy: "Chen Juan's bent-arm start was very standard and her technique was very solid. She had given it her all and was even striving for her best result in a major competition. But these world-class athletes... everyone was pushing themselves to their limits."

"She was able to win a silver medal in Moscow because the competition landscape was different then, but today, all these athletes have brought out their ultimate form."

"Chen Juan may... be in trouble."

Just as the two commentators were focusing their attention on their own athlete, Chen Juan.

Midway through the curve.

There are 20 meters left until the exit of the bend.

The first dramatic reversal on the track was quietly brewing.

Dina Asher-Smith in lane three ultimately couldn't hold onto her lead.

Her advantage of a fast stride frequency gradually became apparent as she exerted herself on the curves – insufficient endurance, disordered power generation, slight deviations in arm swing rhythm, a gradual slowdown in stride frequency, and a reduction in stride length.

Thompson gradually overtook the lead that was initially firmly in his grasp.

Thompson in lane four finally started to exert herself. Taking advantage of Dina's disorganized exertion, she increased the force of her arm swing and widened her stride.

The connection between the shoulder and hip muscles becomes smoother, and the explosive power in the later stages begins to be released gradually.

She instantly overtook Dina and gained a decisive lead.

At that moment, the cheers in the Bird's Nest reached their peak, and everyone thought that the championship was no longer in doubt.

Thompson's explosive finishing ability has already been proven in countless international competitions.

Like.

Once she takes the lead, almost no one can rival her.

"Thompson has burst out; is she going to take over the game?!"

"Thompson has overtaken! Thompson is in the lead! This is the power of the Jamaican sprinter!"

"Her late-race burst of speed is terrifying! Dina has been left behind!"

"McGron is also chasing, but he can't catch up at all!"

"Will the championship still belong to Jamaica?"

Is the Moscow version of events still unfolding?

Yang Jian was speaking.

Just when Thompson's coaching staff thought things were going as they had imagined.

Liu Xiang frowned slightly, but his gaze suddenly fell on the fifth path.

"Um!?"

"Wait! Yang Jian, look at the fifth one!"

"Spippers! She's still following! Thompson hasn't left her behind!"

"This athlete has been building up her strength all along; her rhythm has never faltered!"

Yes.

Liu Xiang is right here.

Her observations were also very meticulous.

Spipers.

Here, preparations for launching the attack finally begin.

Finally, I'm ready to stop hiding it.

Yes.

When all the athletes started to lose track of Jamaica's Thompson.

Spipers.

Still following along.

When everyone thought Thompson would lead the race to the finish line...

This dark horse, overlooked by everyone, continues to maintain its steady pace, gradually closing the gap with Thompson.

Her cornering technique was far more sophisticated than anyone imagined—her torso leaned at a precise angle, her arm swing rhythm was stable, and her push-off was even, without the slightest panic or impatience.

Looking at Thompson's back in front of him.

There was not the slightest fear.

Only a confident and assured mind.

Because she knew that her ultimate source of power was not the curves, but the long straightaways after the curves.

This was her long-planned tactic, the core of her countless days and nights of special training in the United States—steady progress on the curves, accumulating strength and energy, going all out on the straightaways, and securing a decisive victory.

Especially when she learned that Felix wouldn't be able to play.

This further solidified my resolve this time.

We need to steal a gold medal.

Yes, her goal from the beginning was...

gold medal.

We want to help their country win a precious gold medal.

Winning a gold medal in a major international competition is no easy feat for Dutch athletes.

This means she not only has to break the Dutch national record.

They even aim to break the European record for the entire continent.

And indeed, she did.

And her coach also believes she can do it.

So now we'll consider this view...

When cashing out directly.

The moment of exiting the turn.

That was the turning point in the final.

This was Spipers's moment of godhood.

This was also Thompson's Waterloo moment.

As Thompson exited the corner, he was eager to straighten his body, trying to use his explosive power in the later stages to completely shake off everyone.

However, this impatience ultimately led to a slowdown in progress.

The torso suddenly straightens, the arm swing rhythm becomes disordered, and the force exerted by pushing off the ground deviates.

The speed that should have been maintained not only did not increase, but actually slowed down slightly by half a beat.

That half-beat, that slight impatience, gave Spipers the perfect opportunity to deliver the decisive blow.

To be honest, without Spipers...

Even if this small problem occurs, it won't affect the overall situation.

It's nothing serious.

But it was because of her.

A master at her level.

Then you revealed a flaw.

It will definitely be exploited by the opponent.

Unlike the other contestants, whose skill gap is too large to be exploited.

it is good.

There is a chance.

Spipers, in the fifth lane, slowly straightened his body due to the inertia of centrifugal force, without the slightest impatience or panic.

The moment she exited the bend, she finally released all restraint and unleashed her long-dormant explosive power.

The arm swing is instantly maximized, the stride frequency increases rapidly, the stride length is widened to the limit, and the force of the foot pushing off the ground is maximized.

It almost completely drained my energy.

Every push-off feels like putting pressure on the track.

Each swing of the arm felt like tearing through the air.

"Spippers! It's Spippers who's making his move!"

"My God! Spipers is so fast, even..."

"He seems even faster than Thompson!!!"

Thompson's coach, whose body had been as steady as a mountain, leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the figure in lane five.

His tone was full of surprise.

Even if you can't understand what Yang Jian and Liu Xiang are saying, you can still sense it from their tone of voice...

They suddenly emerged from behind this Dutch player.

Expressing surprise.

"Incredible! An absolute dark horse!"

"Spippers has been building up her strength all along, and her tactics are too successful! She didn't follow Thompson's rhythm, nor was she disrupted by Dina's fast pace. She just went her own way. This composure, this patience, and this explosive power are terrifying!"

"She is breaking her personal best; she is tearing down the 22-second barrier!"

"Thompson needs to be prepared. If he's careless again, he could lose the gold medal!"

Someone actually followed us?

Thompson was also taken aback.

No way?
Could it be Sister Brown?

It turned out it wasn't Brown either.

Are there others?

Is he European?

Spipers didn't care about her.

Her speed.

It's getting faster and faster, more and more intense.

It's getting stronger and stronger.

Like a white lightning bolt, it broke through the fifth strong barrier.

Step by step, they are getting closer and closer to Thompson.

The difference, which was originally only a fraction of a second, gradually narrowed.

0.2, 0.15, 0.1...

Until completely...close.

There's only one more body length left!
Fine beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the track.

But in her eyes, there was no weariness, no hesitation, only an extreme determination.

A frenzy of breaking free from oneself.

She wants to win.

She wants to win the championship.

She wants to achieve her personal best.

From 22 seconds onwards, it reached a limit that no one else could achieve.

She wants to be the 200-meter queen of Europe.

Not only the whole of the Netherlands, but all of Europe is proud of her.

No one expected that the champion of this final would be so unexpected.

Before the race, everyone was praising Thompson's late-race explosiveness, optimistic about Dina's cornering advantage, paying attention to McGronn's American power, and some were even concerned about the veteran Campbell Brown's perseverance...

But no one ever gave Spipers a word of expectation.

Yet this player, who was not favored, relied on his patience and preparation, his precise tactics, and his explosive power.

They forcefully tore through the defenses of the top players.

It was a stunning underdog victory.

It's also possible that white athletes haven't had outstanding performances on the track for too long.

The Netherlands has never produced any outstanding figures.

This leads people to instinctively believe that her potential is limited.

Nothing threatening.

At this moment, Thompson completely panicked in the fourth lane.

She had just made a mistake, which caused her rhythm to be a little off.

If no one were chasing after it so closely, it would be possible to gradually adjust.

But with someone chasing her so closely, she felt a little scared.

After all, she was born in 92.

The two of them even share the same birthday.

She really didn't expect that someone her age could have such terrifying abilities.

She watched Spipers getting closer and closer behind her.

Feeling the pressure of Dina and McGonagall chasing from behind, his previously steady rhythm began to be disrupted.

Even though she desperately tried to increase the speed of her arm swing, the force of her push-off, and the stride, attempting to close the gap, she still struggled.

He was trying to hold onto his dream of winning the championship.

However, her stamina had already been largely depleted by the pulling and twisting of the curves, and her explosive power in the later stages was also exhausted. Of course, the most important thing was her rhythm...

Chaos.

But if the rhythm is disrupted...

The more effort they put in, the more panicked they became.

The more panicked you are, the further you fall behind.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Spipers had caught up with her.

Her eyes gradually shifted from initial determination to resentment, then to confusion, and finally to regret.

She couldn't figure it out.

As the pre-match favorite, he was surprisingly overtaken by a Dutch white player who was not favored before the match.

Surprisingly, he completely failed in the latter part of the race, which is his strongest area.

This sense of unwillingness and regret, conveyed through her eyes, reached every corner of the arena.

It made every spectator feel the cruelty and unpredictability of the women's 200-meter final.

No one expected it.

A dark horse has emerged.

Just like when Chen Juan stormed into Moscow.

That's the charm of competitive sports—you never know which young person will emerge victorious.

He held his breath.

Soar.

He became famous overnight.

Dina Asher-Smith in lane three is also caught in a dilemma.

Her stamina was already exhausted, her arm swing rhythm was disordered, and her stride frequency was getting slower and slower. Not only could she not catch up with Spipers and Thompson, but she was also overtaken step by step by Candace McGonagall in lane seven.

This young Eagles athlete's pre-race dream of winning the championship ultimately shattered in the brutal storm of speed.

Gradually breaking apart.

Meanwhile, Chen Juan in lane six is currently experiencing the most difficult sprint of her career.

Her advantage from the bent-arm start had long since vanished. Jenny Ba Tamo in lane eight behind her, with his long limbs and superior endurance in the later stages, gradually caught up, and the gap between the two remained within 0.05 seconds.

Each step is related to the sixth and seventh positions.

Chen Juan exerted all her strength, swinging her arms to her limit and increasing her stride frequency to the fastest. The moment her feet pushed off the ground, her calf muscles felt a wave of soreness.

His breathing was so disordered that he could barely catch his breath.

But she still didn't give up and kept running desperately.

Damn it, who knows how it turned out like this.

I was aiming for a medal, at least a bronze.

How come they suddenly can't even make it into the top five?

It can only be said that Chen Juan's team was overly optimistic.

Judging from the major competitions of the past few years.

I never expected it to suddenly erupt like this today.

This made her appear very passive.

However, this is something we can only know from God's perspective.

If you don't have a God's-eye view.

Then you'll definitely feel like you're on par with Chen Juan's team.

How could it happen so suddenly?

It's fully erupted.

In fact, she could clearly sense it.

My speed is faster than it was at the Moscow World Championships.

Even faster than in the semifinals, she is sprinting toward her new career best.

Her original plan was to finish the race in under 22.30 seconds, even on flat ground and in windless conditions.

Get a time of 22.20+ seconds.

That should be enough to win a silver medal.

But this best result, in this terrifying final, still seemed...too mediocre.

She looked at Spipers, Thompson, McGonagall, and Brown in front of her, their figures far ahead of hers, a gap that she could never bridge no matter how hard she tried.

At least not for now.

She suddenly realized that the terror of the women's 200-meter race was never "winner takes all," but rather "surrounded by strong competitors, making it difficult to move an inch."

You give it your all to break through your limits and achieve your best result in your life, but there will always be runners who are more skilled, more hardworking, and more talented than you.

Standing in front of you.

It's not enough to just move yourself.

Her silver medal at the Moscow World Championships made her believe she had joined the ranks of the world's elite, but only now did she realize...

That was just her luck.

She just happened to be lucky.

But that doesn't mean she's already the world's best.

The final at the Bird's Nest truly reflects the world's best level in women's 200 meters.

Her bent-arm start, her honing of technique, and her tireless dedication day and night were all worthwhile.

The results have genuinely improved.

It is these efforts that are no match for the absolute gap in hard power.

Ultimately, it still seems like a drop in the ocean.

Just as they were giving it their all to reach the finish line.

Dina Asher-Smith.

It even darted past me and gradually left me behind.

They immediately dropped out of the top five.

They couldn't even hold onto fifth place.

Many sports fans who only watch major tournaments were immediately disappointed when they saw this.

After all, they can't distinguish between an overall improvement in strength and a relatively low overall strength in a particular major competition.

The only thing they can understand is whether you can win a gold, silver, or bronze medal.

If you can't get it, that's your problem.

As for whether you mentioned improvement or not.

She doesn't care.

She doesn't care either.

"Crossing the line!!!"

"My goodness!"

"Duffner Spipers won the race, defeating Thompson, and her time was an incredible 21.63 seconds!!!"

"That's almost 0.4 seconds better than her personal best!!!"

"And this is the result of three shots in the competition! That's ruthless! She's the one who has hidden her strength the most!"

Even though Thompson ran a time of 21.66 seconds, which was expected before the race, he still lost to her by a body length!

"The intensity of this race was too high. Even the third-place finisher broke the 22-second barrier. Brown finished third with a time of 21.97 seconds."

"The audience may not know what this means, but it means that Frazier, the champion of the Moscow World Championships, can't even make it into the top three here!"

"This is the true value of this year's women's 200-meter sprint at the Bird's Nest!"

"Look at 4th place, oh my god, another amazing result! Candace McGraw 22.01!!!"

"Even the youngest competitor on the field, Dina Asher-Smith, born in 1995 and not yet 20 years old, who finished fifth and surpassed Chen Juan, ran a time of 22.07 seconds..."

Yang Jian was utterly bewildered when he saw this.

She finally realized that it wasn't that Chen Juan was unhelpful.

The opponent is too terrifying.

Everyone's a Gundam!

Even if Frazier stands here as the champion.

In this competition, they could only rank 6th.

That's right, even the champion of the Moscow World Championships can't make it into the top five here.

If the champion can't even make the top five, then it's reasonable for the runner-up not to make the top five either, isn't it?
Chen Juan finished sixth with a final time of 22.19 seconds.

This is also her best result in a major competition.

Although she's still a bit behind Pb, you have to understand that this isn't a high-altitude area, and there's no strong wind. This shows that she has improved her overall strength significantly before the Bird's Nest arrived.

You really can't say there's anything wrong with how she ran.

They not only surpassed themselves, but also exceeded their pre-competition expectations.

They even directly turned on 22.20 seconds.

What can I say?

All I can say is that our opponent is terrifying.

I've already pushed myself to the limit.

It even surpassed the limits.

We still lost so badly.

Then it's nothing.

You can make excuses.

It's simply that I'm not as skilled as them.

Jeniba Tamo, 22.31 seconds.

Yvet Lalova-Collio, last place with a time of 22.41 seconds.

In other words.

The runner-up at the Moscow Olympics would only rank 7th here.

This shows how high the bar is for this year's women's 200-meter sprint at the Bird's Nest.

See here.

Liu Xiang could only shake his head.

"It's too cruel, it's really too cruel."

Liu Xiang's tone was extremely heavy.

His eyes were full of empathy.

After all, she is a top athlete.

I know very well what it feels like to give it your all and still lose.

"Chen Juan had given it her all. Her bent-arm start was successful, her rhythm was stable, and she ran to her limit. But she was facing... a group of top athletes who were also pushing their limits."

"This is the women's 200 meters, this is the allure of world athletics, and also its cruelty..."

"Effort may not guarantee a championship, but effort will definitely help you break through your limits."

"You must stay calm and not let it affect you. Keep pushing your limits in training and fight again next year!"

In the final 10 meters, the tension on the track reached its peak.

Eight figures.

Eight possible endings.

Eight regrets and glories.

Spipers, in the fifth lane, finally stopped. She staggered forward two steps before managing to steady herself.

Immediately, she looked up sharply at the giant electronic screen in the Bird's Nest stadium and saw the words "21.63 seconds, first place, Dafner Spipers".

She could no longer hold back, and her legs went weak.

He knelt on the track, covered his face with his hands, and cried uncontrollably.

Those were not tears of regret, nor tears of resentment.

Rather, they are tears of joy, tears of liberation, and tears of breaking free from the self.

She had been lying low, enduring hardship, and working hard for a long time. Countless days and nights of special training, countless hours of honing her skills, and countless times of being underestimated—all of this has brought her the best reward at this moment.

With a time of 21.63 seconds, he told the world.

I am the 200-meter champion this time.

I am the 200-meter king of the Netherlands.

I am also the king of the 200 meters in Europe.

Meanwhile, Chen Juan, in lane six, was standing alone in the middle of the track, gazing at the distant podium with a complex mix of emotions in her eyes.

There are regrets, resentment, relief, and determination.

I was hoping at least the national flag would be raised, but I didn't even get the chance to do that this time.

This made her realize even more deeply the gap between herself and the world's top athletes in the 200 meters.

This is why Su Shen is still working so hard even though he has already reached this point.

This also served as a reminder to her.

We must never let any achievements blind us.

Otherwise, this is what will happen.

Of course, this is absolutely excessive self-criticism.

In fact, Chen Juan's shot was another breakthrough, surpassing her best performance in a major competition.

This is also the best result achieved by a team from the plains.

There's nothing to criticize.

She did her best, even exceeding the team's pre-competition target.

A loss is a loss.

In the realm of competitive sports.

Food is the original sin.

You're bad at the game, so you have no right to complain.

The best approach is to be honest, talk less, and practice more.

At this point, anything you say will sound like you're making excuses.

After all, most of her people don't practice sports and don't understand the differences between them.

All you need to do is practice hard and win the next game.

This is the right way.

Right now, on the other side of the stands.

Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan, because they are not participating in the 200-meter race, now have the mood and time to watch.

"The road ahead is long and arduous."

"A 200-meter gap is still quite significant."

"Whether it's the men's or women's 200 meters, getting onto the podium is not an easy thing, especially getting onto it consistently, which is very difficult."

Su Shen watched Chen Juan's retreating figure.

Think about the 200 meters that are about to begin.

I really feel sorry for Xie Zhengye.

If these two powerful figures don't grow old, it will be really difficult to manage them.

And this time, if you don't take down the Gatling gun...

It is very likely that it will be the same as the women's 200 meters.

They were turned away from the podium.

Chen Juan won a medal in at least the 100-meter race.

This is especially true for Xie Zhengye, who excels in only one area.

But it was the only chance to stand on the podium at the Bird's Nest.

It depends on her.
