Chapter 2530 God of Curves! How fast can humans go on curves?
The fifth lane.
Even if he is not a Chinese athlete, he should still be given absolute respect.
"The Black Lightning from Jamaica, the 200-meter world record holder, the defending champion, and the fastest man in the world to run 200 meters."
"Usain Bolt!!!"
"Since his defeat in London, Bolt has redeemed himself in Moscow. It remains to be seen whether he can maintain his title as defending champion this year!"
"His biggest challenger is the sixth laner standing next to him, his junior, Yohan Blake!"
"These two are truly evenly matched! The only ones who can defeat them are the two brothers themselves!"
"Others are basically unable to interfere in their duel!"
Yang Jian wasn't joking. Anyone who knows a little about track and field knows he's stating the facts. He's simply stating the facts, without any exaggeration.
There's simply no way we can handle those two.
Their duel is now on another dimension.
You just need to quietly observe and appreciate it from the back.
It's fine if you interfere.
No one had this idea.
Even former 200-meter king Forrest Johnson.
They're no match for these two now.
The seventh path.
American athlete Justin Gatlin.
"Gatlin should be our main focus this year, because he is the most likely to compete with Xie Zhengye for the bronze medal."
"This year, he even broke the 19.60-second barrier and entered the 19.50+ realm. There are very few people like him in history."
"Gatling's ability to accomplish such a feat across projects is enough to prove that he is indeed capable. It's just a pity that he lives in this era, just like Xie Zhengye was in before..."
"You can never win the championship or runner-up."
"If these two people don't grow old, no one else will have a chance."
"But as things stand, I think Xie Zhengye still has a chance to outlast these two when they get old." Liu Xiang added, "After all, Xie Zhengye is only 22 years old. As an athlete who has just turned 22, if he waits a few more years, these people will definitely not be able to keep up."
“Even Bolt and his group will be in their 30s in 5 years, and even Blake will be like that, while he will only be 27 at that time. This is his opportunity.”
"He just needs to wait for the clouds to part and the moon to shine."
"You must be patient, you must not get injured, you must stay calm and steady, and proceed step by step."
Liu Xiang actually has a lot of experience in this area, mainly because...
Seeing the 110-meter hurdles, I was struck by how drastically the overall level has declined since my era ended.
If you can really maintain your form.
It's not impossible for them to win a few championships.
If only I could run until an older age like Allen Johnson.
At least the next two editions, all the way up to this year's Bird's Nest.
Everyone should be highly competitive.
After all, peak condition is sufficient to defeat the enemy.
It's a pity that I couldn't have foreseen this at the time.
I really thought the 110-meter hurdles would keep improving.
Then I really won't have much time left.
Eighth lane, Jamaican contestant Nickel Ashmead.
Although he is quite capable, he is not particularly outstanding in the 200-meter race.
It's simply that Bolt's junior teammate, Warrenwell, is injured and his performance has declined, so he can't come.
That's why he stepped up.
He is a rather moderate player.
His 100-meter time isn't bad, it's around 9.90 seconds.
His 200-meter time isn't bad, and his personal best is 19.85 seconds.
It's a real shame that it can't get much higher.
In this era of intense competition, this achievement is better than nothing.
In this state, the match is about to begin.
When Anaso Giovadwana in lane one squatted down, his buttocks stick out a bit too high, which drew a scolding from the coach in the warm-up area next to him.
The South African boy frantically adjusted the starting blocks, his fingertips brushing against the anti-slip texture of the track, leaving a few shallow marks—he had stumbled in the preliminaries and only managed to squeeze in by sprinting in the last fifty meters. Now, his palms were sweaty as he gripped the starting blocks, even his fingernails were damp.
They clearly have the ability, but it's hard to say how much they'll be able to unleash later.
Only God knows.
Zhou Bing, in lane two, had just bent down when he heard thunderous shouts of "Go Zhou Bing!" from the stands. His shoulders twitched involuntarily, and a slightly silly smile spread across his face. Remembering the impending battle, he quickly composed himself.
He is the type of person who starts with a bent-arm stride, keeping his elbows close to his ribs during warm-up, with a narrow arm swing, but taking very large steps.
During his test run just now, his heels almost touched his buttocks. Now, staring at the track in front of him, he suddenly remembered what Su Shen had said to him on the shoulder that morning: "Never mind others, just focus on yourself."
This helped him recover his mental state considerably.
Furthermore, by reaching the finals of the competition, he had already successfully completed his pre-competition task.
There's no need for too much pressure.
Zanell Hughes, in lane three, was tying his shoelaces with his head down. He wrapped the laces twice, but then added another knot.
This young eagle from the UK had a wild, untamed look in his eyes. During warm-up, he deliberately glanced at lane five—that was Bolt's position.
He knew he wasn't qualified to challenge the Jamaican sprinter yet, but the burning desire to win made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
However, it can only be said that Bolt didn't even bother to look at him. Although he noticed the gaze, he still didn't bother to turn around.
After all, Bolt only has one person in his eyes right now.
That was his junior brother.
The rest of the people were just idlers.
No need to worry too much.
Xie Zhengye, in lane four, tapped his fingers lightly on the markings on the starting blocks, once, twice, with a very even rhythm.
He's the type who starts with a bent-arm stride, swinging his arms fast but not taking big steps, relying on his stride frequency to overwhelm his opponents.
During the check-in process, he bumped fists with Zhou Bing, and the two nodded to each other without saying a word.
They all have yellow skin, and they all have a strong desire to make a splash in this Bird's Nest.
During such a national war.
Personal emotions should take a back seat.
When Usain Bolt in lane five crouched down, the cheers from the stands almost lifted the roof off.
He is the type of tall man who starts with bent arms, his long legs curled up behind the starting blocks like a leopard poised for action, his elbows bent and his palms lightly pressed on the track.
His fingertips exuded a nonchalant air.
He turned his head and winked at Blake in lane six, who immediately rolled his eyes.
The two still didn't get along.
Especially during fast-paced matches like this.
It's even more impossible to deal with now.
Yohan Blake in lane six was flexing his wrists; his muscles were more defined than Bolt's, like tempered steel.
During his warm-up, he deliberately took long, heavy steps, each one landing with a dull thud on the track.
His gaze swept over the Gatling gun beside him with a sharp, confrontational intensity.
He knew how good his form had been in the last two years, and he also knew that Bolt might evolve again this year. After all, he had evolved so much in the 100 meters, so it was impossible for him to remain unchanged in the 200 meters.
Standing on the final track, his arrogance as the "Jamaican sprinter" remained undiminished.
Because it's not just you, Bolt, who have improved.
Do you think you're the only one with a trump card?
Let's see how it goes when the time comes.
Justin Gatlin, in lane seven, crouched down and dug his fingers into the grooves of the track.
The force was so great that his knuckles turned white.
He was not young; the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were clearly visible under the light, but his gaze was as fierce as a wolf eyeing its prey.
He didn't speak to anyone, just walked back and forth along the track, his steps slow but steady.
We've been waiting for this shot for far too long.
It's been so long that even in my dreams I see myself crossing the finish line.
He hadn't felt the taste of a medal in far too long.
Not only do his fans need it, but he himself is also eager for a medal to give him direction.
Otherwise, he would always feel like he had made a wasted comeback.
Nickel Ashmid in lane eight pursed his lips and pressed his tongue against his back teeth. Although he was also Jamaican, standing next to Bolt and Blake, the pressure felt like a stone pressing on his chest.
The main problem is a lack of absolute confidence in one's own abilities.
set.
"This shot will determine who is the king of the 200 meters."
"Let's wait and see what happens in the next 20 seconds."
Bang————————
The sharp crack of the starting pistol ripped through the hustle and bustle of the autumn night at the Bird's Nest.
Eight figures appeared like cheetahs awakened by a thunderbolt.
They pushed off the starting blocks at almost the same instant.
The screeching sound of rubber shoe soles rubbing against the track.
Mixed with the sudden surge of shouts from the stands.
Weaving together a dense, impenetrable sound network.
It instantly captivated everyone's attention.
Due to his inherent advantage in the 200-meter forward extension, Anaso Giovandana in lane one completed the push-off from the starting blocks earlier than the runners in the outside lanes.
This is his first chance to turn the tide tonight, and it's also the trump card he's holding tightly in his hand.
No one will forget his embarrassing performance in the semifinals.
So when the semi-final starting gun fired, his push-off angle was so steep it was as if he was about to leap into the sky. Most of his power was converted into an upward force, which not only failed to propel his body forward but also caused his center of gravity to sway like a weed in the wind.
The elbows unconsciously turned outwards, and the trajectory of the arm swings was crooked and distorted, as if grabbing at the air randomly. Every swing was a waste of energy.
The first three steps were even more stumbling, with his left foot always landing half a beat slower than his right. By the time he managed to pull his leaning body up, there was already a gap of nearly a body length in front of him.
But tonight, I stand in lane one of the finals.
This South African athlete seems like a completely different person.
The instant the gun fired, his foot slammed hard onto the starting block footplate, pushing off at a full ten degrees lower than in the semifinals.
This was the result of countless adjustments he made after the race, all to lock his power firmly in the direction of the track's tangent.
The power no longer drifts upward aimlessly, but instead surges forward in one go, following the transmission chain of the calves, thighs, and waist.
His elbow, which always tended to flare out during the semi-finals, was now firmly pressed against his ribs.
The arm swing was not large, but the trajectory was unusually regular. The forearm swung back and forth with a deliberate restraint. Each forward swing could accurately drive the shoulder girdle forward, no longer the futile swings in the semi-finals.
In the first three steps, he deliberately slowed down his stride frequency, not seeking explosive power at the start, but only smooth transitions.
When the left foot landed, it no longer slammed heavily onto the track, but instead rolled forward slightly, with the right foot following closely behind, pushing forward along the ground. The interval between the two steps was 0.02 seconds shorter than in the semifinals.
It was that insignificant 0.02 seconds that allowed him to firmly shift his center of gravity in front of his body, eliminating the swaying and staggering sensation.
When he completed the third step of pushing off the ground, his body finally slowly rose from the forward-leaning starting position.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the running track beside him.
There was none of the despair of being left half a step behind in the semifinals.
Tonight, it begins.
not bad.
it is good!
As he entered the bend, Giovanni de Vana's left shoulder suddenly slammed inward.
The entire body forms a smooth, sloping surface.
The forward extension in the first lane gave him a natural advantage of being closest to the inner edge. He firmly stepped on the anti-slip pattern on the inside of the track, his knees deliberately buckling inward, trying to pin the landing point of each step precisely in the tangential direction.
The wind whistled past his ears, carrying the heat of the rubber track, and he could hear his own heartbeat.
The thumping against his chest matched the rhythm of his steps.
The panic I felt during the semi-finals, when I felt like I was being carried away by centrifugal force, has disappeared.
Instead, there is an unprecedented stability.
He knew his talent couldn't compare to the Jamaican duo or Gatling, but tonight, with this shot, he would fight back, bit by bit, the rhythm he lost in the semifinals.
This feeling of starting up is exactly what he found in training this year.
Finally, it came into play here.
His arm swing frequency subtly increased by half a beat, his elbows remained close to his ribs, and the swing of his forearms carried a fierce force, as if he were pushing the air in front of him forward.
The angle of the body's tilt is increasing, almost merging with the curve of the road.
Every push-off feels like a struggle against centrifugal force, and every arm swing is an anchor for the body's direction.
A smooth turn into the corner.
It's noticeable that his performance here was much smoother compared to the semi-finals.
Just this.
His start date will definitely not be later in the queue.
The moment the starting gun fired, Zhou Bing in the second lane was launched almost right next to the starting blocks.
His reaction time was just as good as it was in the semifinals.
It firmly holds a place in the top three.
As a competitor who uses a bent-arm start stride, his arm swing is never a simple "rib-hugging" motion, but rather involves an inward rotation angle that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
0.3 seconds after the gunshot, his elbow was tightly tucked under his ribs, and his forearm moved back and forth in a very small arc, as if two precision bearings were installed on his sides.
This arc wasn't something he developed out of thin air; it was the result of practicing it thousands of times in front of a mirror in the training hall. His goal was to lock the power of the arm swing onto the longitudinal axis of the torso, without wasting a single bit on lateral swaying.
The moment his left foot pushed off the starting block, his right leg didn't swing forward as usual; instead, his knee thrust upwards forcefully.
Her thighs were folded up so that they were almost touching her chest.
Then, using the twisting motion of the hips, push it out forcefully.
In one step, he increased his stride to 1.8 times his height.
This thrust of the hips was extremely forceful, causing the waist and abdomen to twist into a taut bow.
The spikes from the running shoes pierced the synthetic track, almost creating a barely visible white mark.
For the first three steps, he didn't aim for a fast pace, but rather for each step to be firm and solid, like hammering nails into a running track.
Each step revealed a deep pit, allowing the initial momentum to be steadily accumulated in the legs.
As his body finally pulled itself out of the forward-leaning starting position and entered the curve, Zhou Bing's left shoulder suddenly pressed down.
It's not passively pulled off course by centrifugal force, but actively exerts force to sink inward.
The entire upper body forms a perfect inclined plane, with the spine taut and straight, like a bow that has been bent under pressure, full of the force of rebound.
His knees buckled inward with uncanny precision. When his toes landed, the tips of his shoes were pointed directly at the tangent of the curve, and his feet landed precisely on the anti-slip treads at the innermost edge of the track, as if equipped with a GPS tracker, not veering outward even a fraction of a step.
At this point, his bent-arm swing showed even more skill. The inward rotation of the elbow led the shoulder belt, and each forward swing could bring the body half an inch towards the inside of the curve, perfectly matching the leg's push-off action.
The wind whistled past his ears, carrying the shouts from the stands, but he couldn't hear anything else.
All I could hear was my own heartbeat.
The thumping sounds and the cadence collided at the same point.
With each step he took, the track trembled slightly beneath his feet. The force from arm swing to hip thrust to ground push was like an invisible chain, connecting all the strength in his body and pulling him towards the end of the curve.
Zaner Hughes in the third lane didn't hesitate at all.
It felt like I was being pulled away by an invisible thread.
Unlike the first two competitors who deliberately controlled their pace at the start, this young Eagle from the United States pushed his stride frequency to the extreme from the very first step.
His approach was never the textbook "lowering the center of gravity and proceeding steadily," but rather carried a wild and untamed energy.
0.2 seconds after the gunshot, his arms swung out, his elbows bent at a more relaxed angle than Zhou Bing's, but it wasn't a casual swaying; instead, it carried a high-frequency tremor. The amplitude of his forearms swinging back and forth was not large, but the frequency was astonishingly fast, like two high-speed motors, forcefully pulling his body forward.
When his left foot pushed off the starting blocks, he didn't deliberately extend his hips to lengthen his stride. Instead, he quickly extended his leg the moment his foot landed, and his right foot almost followed in the shadow of his left foot.
The interval between the two steps was astonishingly short.
While others' startup follows a "accumulation-explosion" curve, his startup is a steep straight line.
From the moment the gun fired, I was thrown into the frenzied rhythm.
The moment he entered the bend, Hughes' body tilted unexpectedly.
Unlike Zhou Bing, he didn't actively lower his shoulders to find balance. Instead, he used the momentum of his stride to let his body naturally tilt inward.
This is a technology that only young people dare to use.
By landing frequently, the centrifugal force is gradually dissipated in each step of the push-off.
His knees didn't deliberately buckle inwards, and his feet didn't land at the innermost edge of the track, but rather half a square to the outside, yet he still managed to maintain an absurdly fast stride frequency.
It carved out an even shorter path on the curve.
The wind slipped under his armpits, seemingly carrying the acrid smell of the synthetic track, and he could hear his own breathing.
Bold and heavy, yet not chaotic.
It was perfectly synchronized with the step frequency.
At this moment, his arm swings revealed an even more cunning nature.
When swinging the left arm forward, it is deliberately brought in half an inch, as if adding a rudder to the body during a high-speed sprint, turning all the forces that might go astray due to the fast stride frequency back to the tangential direction.
His gaze wasn't fixed on the track in front of him; instead, it was slightly raised, especially towards Bolt in lane five ahead. Okay.
The black figure was accelerating rapidly.
Hughes grinned, his teeth gleaming in the light, and quickened his pace by half a beat.
He knew his stride was shorter than those of the giants, but he insisted on using this frenzied pace to carve out a piece of the road on the bend.
He has this idea mainly because he is a young man.
That's just how young people are; they don't care about so much.
Whether you're Usain Bolt or not, we'll give you a race first.
Of course, the strongest is still...
Usain Bolt.
The moment the starting gun fired, Usain Bolt in lane five leaned down and pushed off the starting blocks with a unique rhythm befitting a giant approaching two meters tall.
His flexed-arm start technique is not a simple amplification of the movements of ordinary people, but a reconstruction based entirely on height and wingspan.
This is evident in the 100-meter dash.
On the 200-meter track, this restructuring turned into an overwhelming advantage, forming a clear distinction from his starting logic in the 100-meter race.
From a biomechanical perspective, Bolt's arm bend angle is a precise design tailored for tall people.
These American researchers are not just sitting around doing nothing.
Pride as it may be, his skills are still far superior to those of people in Jamaica.
In the 100-meter race, Bolt's elbow bend angle is about 80 degrees, and the forward extension distance of his forearm is deliberately shortened when swinging his arm. The purpose is to reduce the centrifugal torque brought about by the long arm swing and avoid the lateral drift of the body's center of gravity during high-speed sprints.
Every arm swing aims for "shortness and efficiency".
It forms a rigid engagement with stride frequency to counteract the brutal rhythm of "the start is the decisive battle" in short-distance races.
But at the starting line of the 200-meter final, his elbow bend angle suddenly increased to almost a right angle of 95 degrees.
This seemingly minor adjustment reflects a profound understanding of the characteristics of the 200-meter track.
For Usain Bolt, who is 1.96 meters tall, his long arms are both a gift and a burden. If the excessively long arm swing trajectory is not restrained, it will consume a lot of energy during the start-up phase and slow down the speed of the center of gravity shift.
The right-angle curved arm design is equivalent to installing a "limiter" on the long arm, allowing the upper arm and forearm to form a stable mechanical triangle. When swinging the arm, the force is no longer dispersed throughout the entire arm swing, but is concentrated in the rotational force of the shoulder girdle, which drives the torso to translate along the tangential direction.
At the same time, this angle perfectly suited his hip structure, and when he took his first step after the gunshot, his raised knee almost touched his chest.
The forward swing of the right-angle bent arm and the leg lift form a precise linkage.
The moment the upper arm moves forward, it also rotates the hip on the same side forward, breaking the "leg lift-push-off" cycle that would otherwise appear sluggish due to the length of the legs...
It becomes as smooth as gears meshing.
This kind of coordination is for "catching up with the stride frequency" in the 100-meter race, and for "accumulating power for the curve" in the 200-meter race.
Bang bang bang.
In the first three steps after starting, Bolt's arm-bending rhythm was already setting the stage for his upcoming cornering maneuver.
In the first three steps of the 100-meter dash, his arm swing frequency was almost like he was forcing his body's inertia upwards, each swing of his arm was like whipping the air, with the aim of breaking through the "acceleration bottleneck" as soon as possible.
But at the start of the 200-meter race, his arm swing had a “controlled sense of relaxation.”
The swing amplitude of the right-angle bent arm is slightly greater than 100 meters, but it always remains parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body, without any outward extension.
This is because Bolt's 200-meter start here is not the finish line, but rather a reserve of "center of gravity potential energy" for entering the curve.
For tall people, the biggest challenge on a curve is fighting centrifugal force—the taller they are, the higher their center of gravity is, and the greater the centripetal force required on a curve. If they are not careful, they will be thrown to the outside of the track.
Bolt's bent-arm start is precisely the process of building "low center of gravity inertia" at the start of the race.
The stable force-generating structure is achieved by using a right-angle curved arm.
This keeps his torso at a forward lean angle of about 5 degrees, which is 3 degrees smaller than the forward lean angle at 100 meters. This angle does not sacrifice starting speed, but allows the center of gravity to be closer to the ground.
This allows for sufficient adjustment space for subsequent curve tilting.
At the same time, his long arm swing forms a natural "balancing lever". When starting, the forward swing amplitude of the left arm is slightly greater than that of the right arm. This asymmetrical arm swing is called "pre-tilt compensation" in biomechanics.
This means that before entering the curve, the body has already adapted to the tilted posture of "lower left shoulder and higher right shoulder".
This avoids the speed loss caused by sudden adjustments when entering a curve.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
The moment Bolt stepped into the bend.
His articulated boom start technique has finally seen its most stunning debut.
This is fundamentally different from a 100-meter straight sprint.
The 100-meter swing arm uses "symmetrical force," with both arms swinging at exactly the same amplitude to ensure stability during straight-line travel.
But on the 200-meter curve, his right-angle curved arm swing instantly switches to "asymmetrical mode," a core technique that is difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
As he entered the curve, his left shoulder dropped, and his body tilted inward at a 12-degree angle.
This tilt angle is far greater than that of other competitors, yet there is no sign of imbalance.
The secret lies in his bent and swung arms.
At this moment, the swing amplitude of his right arm suddenly increased, and the upper arm of his right-angled bent arm was almost parallel to the ground. The swing trajectory of his long arm drew an arc that coincided with the curvature of the curve, which was equivalent to providing the body with an additional centripetal force.
The swing amplitude of the left arm is correspondingly reduced, and the right angle of the elbow is slightly tightened, becoming a stable "support point" that firmly locks the centrifugal force of the body inside the torso.
This asymmetrical arm swing, combined with his long stride, forms a perfect mechanical loop.
When the right leg pushes off the ground, the right arm swings forward, transferring the power of the arm swing to the hip, so that each step of pushing off the ground carries an "inward pull".
When the left leg lands, the support of the left arm counteracts the outward pushing tendency of centrifugal force, allowing the foot to land firmly on the optimal tangent line of the track.
This is not finished.
More importantly, this rhythm of bending and swinging the arms perfectly resolves the stride length dilemma faced by tall people on curves.
On a 100-meter straight track, Bolt's stride advantage comes from the "absolute output of the force exerted by pushing off the ground".
However, on a 200-meter curve, taking too large a stride can actually increase the burden of centrifugal force.
at this time.
His right-angle curved arm swing acts as a "stride regulator"—the subtle changes in the arm swing frequency can precisely control the stride length.
After entering the curve, his arm swing frequency increased by 10% compared to the starting phase, but the power output point of the arm swing shifted from the "upper arm" to the "forearm".
This adjustment allowed him to slightly reduce his stride by 0.2 meters from the start, but it created a resonance between his stride frequency and the curvature of the curve.
This "small stride, high frequency" cornering rhythm might mean a loss of speed for an ordinary person, but for Bolt, it is the wisdom of "using softness to overcome hardness".
Even if the pace is changed to the current one.
Bolt's starting distance here is still unmatched by other athletes.
The high-frequency arm adjustment allows him to navigate curves as if they were flat ground.
This is the power of a naturally gifted athletic physique.
When his figure stretched out like a fully drawn bow in the bend, the audience in the stands could see it clearly.
His right-angled bent arm maintained a stable posture throughout, without the slightest panicked swing. The trajectory of his long arm was like drawing an invisible tangent line in the sky above the track.
At this point, Bolt was no longer just a sprinter, but an engineer who perfectly combined physical talent with technical skills.
His bent-arm start is a tactic of "playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses" in the 100-meter dash.
Within 200 meters, it is the art of "turning natural talent into a winning advantage".
As he entered the bend, he even had the leisure to turn his head and glance at Blake in lane six ahead.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
That smile revealed absolute confidence in her skills.
This confidence stems from his meticulous refinement of the arm-bending start technique for taller individuals.
Originating from a 200-meter track, this technology perfectly complements the curves.
He hasn't been doing nothing these past few years.
He didn't just master the bent-arm start technique in a simple way.
It has even been applied to 200 meters and 100 meters.
Detailed breakdowns were made.
Bolt's learning ability is truly amazing.
This was something that the American researchers hadn't considered.
They originally thought that although Bolt was exceptionally talented, his understanding of technique and theory was probably not very good.
Who would have thought...
Indeed, my understanding of the theory is not very good.
I haven't been able to understand it very well over time.
But what's infuriating is...
That's all the comprehension I have.
He is always able to apply and utilize technology effectively.
Make it quickly.
You asked him why?
He said he didn't know.
You asked him how he understood it?
He said he didn't know.
What are your thoughts/reflections?
He said he didn't know.
Unable to speak.
Don't ask, just tell me, that's how I think it's done.
It's absolutely infuriating.
They couldn't even extract a single replicable piece of experience.
but?
He's just fast enough.
This is for him personally.
That might be enough.
But Blake wasn't going to back down.
Bolt was aware that he was training in the United States.
So he made sure he didn't waste these two years.
In fact, the only thing that could ruin a training fanatic like Blake is injury.
Rather than one's own self-control.
The moment the starting gun fired, Yohan Blake in lane six was like a startled beast.
The moment they burst off the starting blocks, their ferocity and sharpness, like a "beast taking off," set them apart from the other runners on the track.
This is the technique Mills tailored to counter Bolt.
It is a transformation from "brute force sprint" to "precision hunting".
In the 200-meter cornering battle, the adjustment that you gave Blake turned into a sharp blade that aimed straight for the throne.
Blake's beastly activation differs from other players primarily in... the "pre-emptive power generation mode".
Most athletes' starting sequence follows a progressive logic of "pushing off the ground - swinging their arms - shifting their center of gravity forward." The power begins with the back foot pushing off the ground, gradually transferring along the calf, thigh, and waist, ultimately propelling the body forward.
But Blake's activation involves shifting the body's power anchor to the core and upper limbs.
His arm swing was tighter than Bolt's, with his elbow almost touching his ribs, and the trajectory of his forearm swing was compressed into a narrow, almost vertical space.
This movement, while seemingly limiting the arm swing range, actually creates a "rigid force-generating framework".
It's important to know that arm swing amplitude is negatively correlated with stride frequency; the smaller the amplitude, the higher the upper limit of the swing frequency. Blake took this principle to the extreme. 0.1 seconds after the gun fired, his forearm began to vibrate at a frequency of 6 times per second, far exceeding Bolt's 4.5 times and crushing the 3.8 times per second of stride-type athletes like Zhou Bing.
This high-frequency arm swing is not a waste of energy, but rather it uses the rapid swing of the upper limbs to drive the frequency of the lower limbs pushing off the ground in the opposite direction—the swing of the upper limbs generates a "traction torque".
Pull your hips and rotate them quickly to complete the "lift leg - push off the ground" cycle that would normally take 0.2 seconds.
It was compressed to 0.15 seconds.
This is the version of the beast-initiated bend that Mills built for him.
More importantly, this beastly launch is a product of Blake's technological iterations.
Although it is an iterative product.
But it's completely different from his early startup model.
In his early years, Blake's starting motion was equally fierce, but it was also full of "brute force" - at that time his arm angle was too large, and the distance between his elbow and ribs was about 10 centimeters. When swinging his arms, the power of his upper limbs would be largely distributed to the lateral swing, causing his center of gravity to shift left and right when starting, and the landing deviation of the first three steps often exceeded 5 centimeters.
This problem always made him less precise when entering corners.
If it weren't for his slow startup response, it would have been really difficult to solve this problem.
This will only amplify the problem.
Ultimately, the slower your initial reaction time, the easier it is for you to enter a corner. The prerequisite is sacrificing reaction time.
Mills made an adjustment here.
The current "Beast Start" technique, in which he presses his elbows close to his ribs, is equivalent to adding a "limiter" to his upper limbs.
This completely eliminates the loss of lateral strength.
At the same time, his starting center of gravity is lower than in his earlier years, and his body leans forward at an angle of 18 degrees, far exceeding the 12 degrees in his earlier years. A lower center of gravity means stronger ground adhesion, and the power conversion rate when pushing off the ground has increased from 75% in his earlier years to 88%.
In his early years, he started by "rushing forward with his legs"; now, he starts by "hunting with his whole body in a coordinated manner".
This adjustment is precisely to use the advantage of stride frequency in the first three steps on the 200-meter track to try to keep up with Bolt's long stride.
Make sure his startup isn't delayed too much.
Because Bolt was originally known for his exceptionally good cornering skills.
No one can get close.
Secondly, Bolt has now mastered the flex start.
They are even more difficult to deal with.
We cannot afford to be careless at all.
Just as Blake stepped into the bend...
The tactical value of the beast's activation was fully realized.
This is precisely his core weapon against Bolt.
The biggest challenge of a 200-meter curve is that centrifugal force increases exponentially with speed. The taller you are, the higher your center of gravity is, and the more difficult it is to counteract centrifugal force.
Bolt is 1.96 meters tall with a center of gravity height of about 1.1 meters, while Blake is 1.80 meters tall with a center of gravity height of only 0.98 meters. This is his natural advantage, but more importantly, his starting technique amplifies this advantage to the extreme.
In fact, Blake's barefoot height might not even be 1.8 meters.
Therefore, Bolt's cornering relies on a stable pattern of "stride inertia + symmetrical arm swing". He naturally counteracts centrifugal force by taking a long stride with his long legs, and maintains body balance by swinging his arms symmetrically.
But Blake's cornering was achieved by using a beast-like high-frequency stride to create a "dynamic balance system".
His body tilt angle when entering the curve reached an astonishing 22 degrees, a full 10 degrees greater than Bolt's 12 degrees. This angle is enough to make an ordinary person lose their balance, but Blake's high-frequency arm swing provided him with continuous centripetal force.
In biomechanics, the equilibrium of an object is divided into "static equilibrium" and "dynamic equilibrium".
Bolt's balance belongs to the former category, relying on the stability of his body posture to counteract centrifugal force.
Blake's balance belongs to the latter category, relying on the high-frequency swinging of his upper limbs to constantly adjust the torque of his body and counteract the pull of centrifugal force.
His forearm swing frequency increased to 7 times per second in the curves. With each forward swing, his left arm would deliberately bend inward by half an inch, which would create an "inward pull".
Lock your body firmly onto the optimal tangent line of the curve.
With each backward swing, the right arm thrusts sharply backward, using air resistance to further enhance the body's tilted posture.
Mills is indeed quite capable.
This cornering technique is a highly effective countermeasure against Bolt's height advantage.
Bolt's long stride requires a larger turning radius on curves—his landing point is closer to the outside of the track than Blake's, and his turning radius is about 0.8 meters larger.
Blake's high stride frequency keeps his landing point firmly on the inside of the track, resulting in a smaller turning radius and a shorter running path.
Even more fatal is that Bolt's starting stride frequency is still relatively slow, and he is often caught up by Blake in the first three steps. The first 50 meters of the corner is the golden window for stride frequency type riders - Blake's stride frequency advantage accumulated with his beastly start is converted into "distance advantage" in the corner.
His gaze was fixed on Bolt's back, each swing of his arm seemed to whip the air, and each push off the ground seemed to slam into Bolt's heel.
He knew that Bolt's real killer move was combining cornering.
You must make sure you don't fall too far behind on the curves.
Leave the chance of victory on the straight road.
As Blake's fifth step gripped the ochre-colored plastic on the inside of the track, the track's curvature tightened at an angle imperceptible to the naked eye.
The game of strategy during the acceleration phase of a curve.
That's when the real battle began, a bloody showdown.
Bolt's starting arm swing is now unleashing textbook-level biomechanical power. Others always think his 1.96-meter height is a hindrance on the curves, but they don't know that his arm swing has been honed through countless hours of practice.
The distance between the elbow and ribs is consistently 8 centimeters, neither as close as Blake's nor with any unnecessary lateral movement.
Not long after the gunshot, his bent arm swing completed the switch from "starting and accumulating power" to "accelerating transmission". The trajectory of his forearm swing was a precise 45-degree angle. Each forward swing was accompanied by the twisting force of the shoulder and back muscles, firmly pressing the inertia of his upper body onto the forward vector.
The brilliance of this bent-arm technique lies in the fact that it transforms the disadvantage of height into an advantage in stride length.
While most athletes are still relying on brute force in their legs to counteract centrifugal force, Bolt's bent-arm swing has already established a rigid power transmission chain between his torso and lower limbs.
His first push-off angle was 52 degrees, and the second step was adjusted to 48 degrees. The forward lean of his body gradually decreased from 15 degrees at the start to 12 degrees.
This tilt angle is precisely the golden angle for athletes with a high center of gravity to counteract centrifugal force.
Biomechanical data shows that when the ratio of a person's center of gravity height to the radius of a curve reaches 0.12, 60% of the centrifugal force can be offset by body posture alone. Bolt's center of gravity height is 1.1 meters, and at this time the radius of the curve is about 36 meters, with the ratio just right at the critical point of 0.12.
This is not a coincidence; it is muscle memory that he has honed through countless training sessions.
The data was provided to him by the Americans.
Thus, in the first 20 meters of acceleration on the curve, Bolt's stride length expanded at a visible speed.
During the initial phase, his stride was only 1.82 meters. After entering the acceleration phase, each stride increased by 0.05 meters.
By the eighth step, his stride had exceeded 2.1 meters. However, his stride frequency did not drop drastically due to the increased stride length, remaining stable at 4.8 times per second.
This is the core advantage of articulated arm start.
By using the stable swing of the upper limbs to lock the power rhythm of the lower limbs, the trap of "stride expansion and cadence collapse" commonly found in tall athletes is avoided.
Maurice Green in the stands was speechless, only his rapid breathing as he watched the live broadcast on his phone: "Bolt! Bolt is accelerating! His acceleration through the corners is like a smooth tank, without the slightest sway!"
Meanwhile, Blake in lane six was caught in an extreme struggle, using his stride frequency to counter his stride length.
His beast-like starting technique has only one mission during the cornering acceleration phase:
Bite down, bite down hard.
His body tilted at an angle exceeding 23 degrees, an angle that nearly caused his left shoulder to glide across the white line on the inside of the track, with every muscle struggling against the tearing force of centrifugal force.
His bent arm remained close to his ribs, and the frequency of his forearm swing soared to 7.2 times per second, 0.2 times faster than during the initial phase—a power generation mode that was almost self-destructive.
The muscle tremors caused by the high-frequency arm swings are rapidly depleting his ATP reserves.
But he had no choice. Bolt's stride advantage was turning into a distance advantage, and the gap between the two, which had started a few strides, was widening.
Fortunately, his training intensity and physical strength are sufficient.
It is sufficient to withstand such devastation.
Blake's cornering acceleration is based on the core logic of using dynamic balance to counter Bolt's static balance.
Bolt counteracts centrifugal force by maintaining a stable body posture, while he constantly adjusts the torque by swinging his upper limbs at high frequency.
Each time he swings his left arm forward, he deliberately tucks his wrist inward, letting his palm brush past the midline of his body. This tiny movement generates an extra inward pull, firmly fixing the body's center of gravity to the innermost side of the curve.
With each swing of his right arm, he would tense his deltoid muscles, making his arm like a taut bowstring, using air resistance to generate a counterforce and prevent his body from being flung outward by centrifugal force.
Do as Mills says.
Blake achieved an astonishing 90% power conversion rate during the acceleration phase in corners.
This is 2 percentage points higher than his initial stage.
The reason is that his body tilt angle and the curvature of the curve are perfectly coupled, and the reaction force when he pushes off the ground is almost entirely wasted on lateral displacement.
All of it was transformed into the driving force for progress.
Actually, he's quite fast here too.
It's entirely because Bolt was already very strong, the best at cornering, and he also had the advantage of a bent-arm start.
That's why it seems like Blake is still being pulled away.
In fact.
Blake has done a great job here.
Besides Xie Zhengye, who was also running with his arms bent, closely following behind, he was still part of the trio.
None of the others could keep up.
This includes Zhou Bing, who started with his arms bent.
Because the gap in hard power is too large.
The gap has widened to the point where they are all far apart.
Start with bent arms.
Even if we're here, we can't save him.
Even so, even though Blake tried his best, he was still falling behind Bolt.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
As he entered the middle of the curve, Bolt's dominance on the "world's best curve" was finally on full display.
The speedometer at the scene showed that Bolt's speed had exceeded 10.5 meters per second in the middle of the curve.
Blake's speed is 10.2 meters per second.
This 0.3 m/s difference is the source of confidence for the "world's number one curve".
And this gap is widening.
There is a detail in Bolt's cornering technique that is easily overlooked.
His hip rotation angle. With each leg lift, his hip rotates inward 15 degrees, which raises his thigh 3 centimeters higher than Blake's, without affecting his landing efficiency at all.
Because of the rotation of his hips, when his feet land, the outside of his heel always touches the ground first, and then quickly transitions to the entire sole of his foot. This landing method can cushion the ground reaction force to the greatest extent and avoid excessive pressure on the knees.
Blake's hip rotation angle is only 8 degrees, and his foot lands on the inside of the forefoot first. Although he lands faster, the load on his ankle and calf muscles is 1.5 times that of Bolt.
This is due to differences in physiological conditions.
It's very difficult to change it later in life.
"Look at that bend! Bolt is widening the gap! His movements are so fluid, like a gliding eagle!"
"Blake is still biting, he's still biting! This beast, his teeth haven't loosened yet!"
"The two begin their dramatic showdown on the bend!"
When the inertial potential energy of acceleration in a curve is exhausted, the game enters a stalemate phase during the middle of the curve.
That's the ultimate dismantling ground for Bolt and Blake's technical systems.
This is no longer a battle of explosive power at the starting stage, but a deep confrontation of muscle working patterns, body balance mechanisms, and energy allocation strategies.
Bolt's reputation as "the world's best corner" is built precisely on this technical logic known in the biomechanics community as "high center of gravity steady-state propulsion".
Blake's "sticking tactics" employed an extreme approach of "low center of gravity dynamic compensation" to carve out a glimmer of hope in the shadow of the giants.
Bolt's body at this moment is like a precisely tuned mechanical instrument.
His height of 1.96 meters caused a disadvantage in terms of center of gravity, but his mid-race running technique completely eliminated this disadvantage.
Once he entered the middle of the race, his arm swing was no longer the tight, power-building state of the starting phase, but switched to a "shoulder-hip coordinated arm swing".
The so-called shoulder-width linkage swing arm is a new type of cornering swing arm that America developed for Bolt.
It perfectly matches Bolt's physical condition.
Specifically, the distance between the elbow and ribs is kept constant at 8 centimeters, and the forearm swing trajectory follows a strict forward and backward straight line, eliminating any unnecessary lateral swing.
From a mechanical perspective, the core value of this swing arm design lies in constructing a "rigid axis of the torso".
In other words, when the torque of the arm swing is transmitted to the hip through the shoulder muscles, it forms a pair of balancing torques with the reaction force generated by the lower limbs pushing off the ground, allowing his torso to always maintain a stable state perpendicular to the ground in high-speed curves.
This is a typical example of static equilibrium control.
It relies on the torque coupling of various parts of the body to counteract the pull of centrifugal force on the center of gravity.
Instead of expending extra energy by actively adjusting posture.
More importantly, it's his hip-drive technology.
Most athletes rely on the quadriceps muscles on the front of their thighs to lift their legs when running on curves, which can lead to excessive stress on the knee joint and cause the force to deviate from the forward vector.
Bolt's leg-lifting motion is entirely dominated by the hip flexors—each leg lift is a "horizontal hip flexion" rotation of the hip, rather than a "vertical leg lift" of the knee joint.
The mechanical advantage of this technical detail is that hip flexion allows the thigh's swing trajectory to be parallel to the ground, maximizing the conversion of muscle contraction force into forward momentum while reducing the loss of vertical force when lifting the leg.
From the perspective of exercise physiology, this force exertion pattern utilizes the hip muscles, which have a higher proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers, rather than the quadriceps femoris, which is dominated by fast-twitch muscle fibers.
This reduced his energy expenditure rate by 12%–15% during the middle of the race, saving crucial energy for the later stages.
These visual effects on the track are—
Bolt's running form is so graceful it's almost like an art form.
His body tilt angle remained stable at 12 degrees. This angle was not deliberately lowered, but rather a natural posture achieved after the rigid axis of the torso and centrifugal force reached mechanical balance.
When his foot lands, he always touches the ground first with the outside of his heel, and then quickly transitions to the entire sole of his foot.
This landing cushioning action can reduce the peak ground reaction force by 30%, avoiding the "center of gravity swaying" commonly seen in corners for athletes with a high center of gravity.
Every step he took seemed to be precisely calculated.
It has changed from the previous state of doing whatever one pleases.
We will begin further scientific optimization.
The increase in stride length is perfectly synchronized with the change in the curvature of the curve.
As the radius of the curve gradually increases, Bolt's stride also expands linearly.
Always keep your runway path on a "high-quality tangent".
This is not something that can be adjusted by visual observation, but rather an instinct ingrained in the bones through muscle memory.
It's something no one can help but say...
That's fucking ruthless.
Who can stand this?
With the added arm raise, Bolt looked like he was about to take off.
He was invincible on the curves.
It's even more terrifying now.
It was as if someone had floored the accelerator, even using nitrous oxide, and started aggressively cornering.
There was absolutely no intention to apply the brakes.
It already belongs to...
It felt like I was running like crazy.
This really makes you realize that some people can be incredibly aggressive on curves.
So it was humans.
You can drive like this on a curve.
That's fucking terrifying.
Meanwhile, Blake is using a completely opposite set of technical logic to accomplish... "biting" this life-or-death proposition.
After all, if you can't hold on, you've already lost.
have nothing to say.
Mills didn't mention this.
Blake knew that too.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
His body tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, far exceeding Bolt's 12 degrees. This extreme tilting posture is itself a dynamic resistance to centrifugal force.
The greater the tilt angle, the greater the horizontal component of the body's gravity. However, the advantage is that this component will directly offset part of the centrifugal force, allowing him to maintain the curve trajectory without relying on muscle exertion.
However, the price of extreme tilting is the risk of losing control of one's body balance.
Mills' solution for Blake was his core technology known as "high-frequency swing arm compensation".
Once he entered the middle of the race, his arm swing remained as compact as during the start-up phase—his elbow was close to his ribs, the trajectory of his forearm swing was compressed within the vertical plane, and the frequency of his arm swing soared.
This is not a meaningless "brute force swing," but rather a "dynamic equilibrium torque" created through high-frequency swinging of the upper limbs.
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, the rapid swinging of the upper limbs will cause the torso to generate a reverse rotational torque, which can correct the center of gravity shift caused by extreme tilting in real time.
When Blake's left arm swings forward, his wrist joint snaps inward by 15 degrees. This tiny movement changes the angle at which his palm cuts through the air, creating an inward component of air resistance.
This further strengthens the counteracting of centrifugal force.
When the right arm swings back, the deltoid muscle will tighten instantly, making the arm act like a rigid lever, transferring the kinetic energy of the swing to the back muscles, and then through the back muscles to the hips, driving the lower limbs to push off the ground.
Unlike Bolt's hip drive, Blake's mid-race power comes from an "explosive push-off with ankle and knee linkage".
His leg lift was 3 centimeters lower than Bolt's, but his ankle plantar flexion angle reached 45 degrees when he pushed off the ground.
This angle maximizes the explosive power of the calf muscles, allowing the peak time of the push-off reaction force to occur 0.02 seconds earlier.
This power generation pattern relies on the instantaneous contraction of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Although its energy consumption rate is 18% higher than Bolt's, it allows for greater energy expenditure with each push-off...
Achieve a shorter ground contact time.
His ground contact time was only 0.08 seconds, 20% shorter than Bolt's 0.1 seconds.
A shorter ground contact time means a higher upper limit for stride frequency, which also means he can overcome Bolt's stride length advantage.
By using the "step frequency to make up for the gap" method, they relentlessly chased after their opponent.
Even the way Blake lands on his feet.
These all stand in stark contrast to Bolt.
He always lands with the inside of his forefoot first. This landing method abandons cushioning, but allows his foot to enter the push-off preparation posture the moment it lands, achieving a seamless transition of "landing and pushing off the ground".
The price he paid was that his ankle and calf muscles bore 1.5 times the load of Bolt's, lactic acid piled up wildly in his muscles, and the burning sensation spread like wildfire, but his core muscles remained as taut as steel cables.
The isometric contraction of the transverse abdominis and erector spinae muscles locks the upper and lower body firmly into a whole, preventing body swaying caused by uneven force exertion.
The technical duel between the two players, during the stalemate phase of the race on the curve, transformed into a collision of two philosophies of mechanics.
Bolt's "high center of gravity steady-state propulsion" is a model of efficiency-first approach—maintaining maximum forward speed with minimal energy consumption is the composure of a champion.
Blake's "low center of gravity dynamic compensation" is the art of extreme survival—using higher energy consumption and stronger muscle load to exchange for a sliver of hope of "not being pulled apart".
Bolt's team in the United States did not expect that after failing in the 100 meters, he would also encounter such strong resistance in the 200 meters.
They originally imagined that Bolt was already invincible on the curves, and now he added a curved start.
That's not an easy way to defeat everyone.
result.
The gap wasn't as large as expected.
Bolt also frowned slightly.
but.
He quickly regained his composure.
The reason is.
The high-speed mode is about to begin.
this place.
Blake could not possibly be a match for him.
When the stalemate line in the middle of a curve is approaching the apex of the curve, it is completely broken.
Bolt's explosive six-second cornering phase became the final straw that broke Blake's "sticking to the spot" tactic.
These six seconds were not simply a matter of speed accumulation, but rather a total explosion of his technical advantages from start to finish – more powerful than at the Moscow World Championships and more precise than at the London Olympics.
It is a "closed loop of force transmission" with the bending and swinging arm technique as its core.
At this moment, it transformed into an overwhelming force of dominance.
Bolt's earlier bent-arm start had already foreshadowed this six-second performance. Unlike the slightly loose arm swing on the London High Speed corners, Bolt's bent-arm swing maintained the golden standard of "8 centimeters elbow-rib distance" from the start.
This design ensures that his upper limbs never exhibit any lateral force during swing.
Each forward and backward swing creates a rigid force transmission axis for the torso.
During the London Olympics, his technique was still at the level of "stable power generation," but on the track now, this technique has evolved into—
"Seamless connection between start-up, acceleration, and mid-journey."
The arm-bending power stored up at the start is not hastily dismantled during the acceleration phase, but rather smoothly transitions into the shoulder-hip linkage mode during the run, ensuring that the arm-swinging torque of the upper limbs and the pushing force of the lower limbs always resonate in sync.
This connection allowed him to reduce his energy consumption before the cornering burst by 13% compared to London!
It has decreased by 7% compared to Moscow!
Muscle energy storage is like a spring compressed to its limit.
They're just waiting for the right opportunity to erupt.
The opportunity lies in the sixth step before the apex of the curve.
The top of the arc is right in front of us.
Suddenly... Bolt struck the track with the outside of his heel.
Upon landing, the angle of inward rotation of the hips suddenly increased from 15 degrees to 22 degrees.
This fine-tuning is the switch that allows him to unleash his maximum speed in six seconds on corners.
By increasing the rotation angle of the hip, the swing trajectory of the thigh is made to completely coincide with the tangential direction of the curve.
The reaction force from pushing off the ground, which was previously constrained by centrifugal force, instantly transforms from an "oblique component force" into "pure forward momentum".
What supports this movement is the bent-arm technique that runs throughout the entire motion.
The moment his hips rotated, his arm swing amplitude increased by 2 centimeters, and the arm swing frequency increased from 4.7 times per second to 5.1 times per second. The increase in torque of the upper limb swing just offset the fluctuation in body balance caused by the hip rotation, keeping the rigid axis of the torso stable at the golden tilt angle of 12 degrees.
This is something Bolt couldn't do during his Moscow and London periods.
At that time, there was always a 0.03-second delay between his hip rotation and arm swing adjustment, but now the delay has been compressed to less than 0.01 seconds.
With the first step of his burst of speed, Bolt's stride length began to expand exponentially, while his stride frequency showed no signs of decreasing.
Blake's pupils suddenly contracted.
He could clearly feel that the wind in front of him was no longer the balanced pull of the stalemate phase, but had turned into a force that was oppressive.
That's like the vortex of air that Bolt's body creates as it cuts through the air.
His high-frequency arm swing had reached his physiological limit; the rigid frame of his elbows, pressed tightly against his ribs, was so taut it looked like it was about to break, and the pushing-off motion of the inside of his forefoot had taken on a spasmodic quality.
However, his stride was still strictly limited to a predetermined range.
His dynamic balance compensation mechanism proved inadequate for the first time in the face of Bolt's absolute speed.
When Bolt's reaction force from pushing off the ground is completely converted into forward momentum, Blake's strategy of "using the tilting force to counteract the centrifugal force" becomes a passive energy consumption.
His hip rotation angle had reached its maximum, and his ankle plantar flexion angle had also exceeded his limit. The soreness in his calf muscles began to gradually rise.
But as he watched Bolt's retreating figure, he could only grit his teeth and tighten his core muscles even more.
As long as you get through the bend, you'll be fine.
As long as you get through the bend, you'll be fine.
That's all he's thinking right now.
In the third step of his breakthrough, Bolt's advantages began to materialize.
His shoulder was already more than a meter ahead of Blake's.
The gap continues to widen.
The difference of these three body lengths comes from the extreme efficiency of energy allocation.
The closed loop of force transmission created by the bent-arm technique ensures that his hip muscle group, dominated by slow-twitch muscle fibers, is always outputting power efficiently.
Unlike Blake's fast muscle fibers, which "burn violently," Bolt's current muscle work is more like a precise fuel injection, with every bit of energy used for forward propulsion.
During his time in Moscow and London, his energy distribution also exhibited "force redundancy"—for example, when accelerating through corners, his quadriceps would unconsciously engage in force generation.
This leads to energy waste.
At this moment, he completely abandoned this redundancy, and the force exerted by his hip flexors became the absolute dominant force exerted by his lower limbs.
The involvement of the quadriceps is minimized.
This extreme efficiency significantly reduces his speed decay rate during burst phases.
It lasted longer than in Moscow.
More stable than in London.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
Although the top speed in the corner does not reach the fourth stage of the six-second cornering burst.
However, it is still much stronger than the previous six-second burst third stage of the cornering.
Bolt's figure, like a black lightning bolt, was the first to touch the white line at the apex of the curve.
He raised his head slightly, his gaze already past the curve of the road and turning towards the straightaway ahead.
His arm swing was already being adjusted in advance for the straightaway sprint.
The distance between the elbow and rib gradually widens, and the arm swing trajectory changes from a straight line in the front-to-back direction to a slightly curved swing.
This adjustment was seamless, without any pause or imbalance.
It's like the boundary between a curve and a straight road...
It didn't exist beneath his feet at all.
The gap is widening, and has even reached more than 1.5 meters.
Blake, however, was pinned to the end of the bend by that mere meter-long difference in height.
His high-frequency arm swing finally became slightly disordered, his stride frequency inevitably dropped, and his stride length also shrank.
The burning sensation of lactic acid had spread throughout his body. Although his acid resistance was extremely strong, even stronger than Bolt's, excessive consumption here would also affect his performance on the straightaway.
So he can only stay here temporarily.
We could only watch as Bolt took the lead.
It's like looking at an insurmountable chasm.
But he did not give up, maintaining his body's tilt angle at its limit and gripping the white line on the inside of the track with the inside of his forefoot.
His beastly activating, his dynamic balancing, all his techniques, are all for one goal.
Even if the gap is more than one meter or even two meters, we must try our best to keep that gap closed.
Don't pull it any further.
Bolt unleashed the most terrifying cornering speed in human history here.
Green knew it at a glance.
This bend.
Even a god couldn't stop it!
It's not that Blake isn't strong.
Bolt is just too strong.
It's already 1.5 meters tall and still growing.
It's still increasing.
It's still increasing.
When approaching the curve and entering the straight.
Bolt was already leading by almost two meters.
This is Blake.
Its ability to navigate corners is also among the top five in history at this point in time.
This blatantly created a gap of more than two meters.
Invincible curves.
It has been deeply etched into everyone's mind.
Even Green.
I'm already incredibly looking forward to the post-match period.
I really want to see it.
Usain Bolt's corner.
How many did they actually run?
Or.
It is the limit of human ability to curve.
How many seconds can it run?
This shot.
There should be an answer by then.
