The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2539: Even massive stimulus measures can overwhelm America! This is absolute power.

The American team didn't expect Suarez to say that.

Of course, they must have forgotten that when they were being arrogant.

On making irresponsible remarks and being a big mouth.

Few countries can match the athletes of the United States.

They were the dominant party back then, but now they've become the submissive party, and it's a bit hard to get used to.

Simply put, it's a habit of criticizing others.

I'm not used to being criticized yet.

But as I said before, it's okay if you're not used to it.

You get used to it after a while.

Based on this principle, Su Shen and the others gradually moved to their respective batting positions.

Although it's a sure thing to be number one, there are actually quite a few strong teams in this group.

Besides the US team.

And there's the team on the other side of the notebook.

There are also traditional European powerhouses like the Eagles, Germany, and Ukraine, as well as other strong teams from the Americas.

For example, Brazil.

Of course, there are also places like the Bahamas.

In fact, their overall strength is not weak. After all, compared to 10 years ago, there are now a lot of teams that can reach 38 seconds.

If you were to do this 10 years ago, or even in the last century, your time of just over 38 seconds would have been enough to win the championship.

All I can say is that the relay team is making rapid progress.

Significant progress has been made.

Jamaica and China, in particular, have pushed the relay race time to under 37 seconds.

That was truly the ultimate competition.

It's terrifying to look at.

They would often pull more than 10 meters apart from teams that could run in 38 seconds.

They even managed to pull 20 meters apart.

Think about what this means?
After all, relay races, apart from the first leg, almost never have a long start phase.

In that case, every 0.1-second difference would be greater than a meter in a regular sprint.

This is common knowledge in track and field.

You know, like Bolt and Gay, those top-tier athletes, they can create a gap of more than a meter every 0.1 seconds.

In relay races, almost everyone is a Usain Bolt in the 100 meters.

Therefore, the results achieved were quite astonishing.

The small notebook company has also started to release their seed replacement plan.

However, this is of little use, because the current number one Japanese player, Masafumi Eriguchi, is almost semi-retired.

After all, he wasn't a true direct descendant of the Su God Clan. Even after burning for so long, his equipment and ideas still lagged behind those of the true Su God Clan.

Therefore, he still couldn't escape the situation of retiring early.

Of course, he himself probably felt quite satisfied with this.

To be able to run until the age of 27 or 28, maintain this level of performance during his peak, and even hold the All-Japan record, what is there to regret?

As a professional athlete, he has already achieved enough.

Ryota Yamagata and the others, I don't know what the Japanese side was thinking, they didn't let them play in the preliminaries, maybe to conserve their energy.

But that's overthinking it. Do you really think those Western countries are just sitting around doing nothing?

Ok.

Do you really think you can secure a top-three finish?

However, this was a joint decision made by their road sports alliance and the track and field meet.

Ryota Yamagata was frustrated, but he didn't have much to say.

Because he has never participated in this relay race in history.

Mingming is still one of the strongest players in the notebook this year.

Who says there's nothing fishy going on on the land alliance side?

Tricks and deception exist in every country.

Every organization has it.

If you still can't understand this.

It just means you haven't left the ivory tower and entered the real adult world.

……

"The athletes are starting to enter the stadium. Our first runner should be Liang Jiahong. He has performed very well in recent years and has already broken the 10-second barrier. Although we can't say he has a significant advantage, since the first runner for the US team is Bromell, he already has the ability to compete with the top teams."

"At least it won't collapse at the slightest touch."

“It’s just the preliminary round anyway.” Liu Xiang nodded slightly and said, “And it’s enough if the first runner can break 10. There’s no need to have too high a requirement. If this requirement isn’t enough, then there are very few countries in the world where the first runner can break 10.”

"very good already."

"Liu Xiang is right. Our second runner is Xie Zhengye, the first Asian to run the 200 meters. He just won a bronze medal in the 200 meters at the Bird's Nest. I wonder how he will perform in the 100-meter relay. Compared to Liang Jiahong, who ran the first leg, he also broke 10 seconds relatively easily. However, his opponents are much stronger than him. His main opponent should be Gatlin of the American team. Gatlin is a superstar. His flat-out running ability of 9.60+ is still insufficient."

"A proper handover is necessary to fight back."

During his commentary, Yang Jian explained each of the major adversaries in great detail, including how my country should respond.

This is enough to show that he is currently the best track and field commentator in China.

"Our third runner goes without saying; we have an advantage from this run onwards."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Asia's number one sprinter, no, I should say the world's number one sprinter, the men's 100-meter world champion who just set a new world championship record, Su Shen, he will be the third runner."

"Even Tyson Gay of the American team couldn't compete with him on this leg."

"The only team that can compete with him is Jamaica in the other group, with Bolt in the third leg."

"Even at his peak, Gay wasn't good enough in this regard, let alone judging from this year's games, Gay is no longer at his peak."

"At this point, trying to fight against Su Shen is simply wishful thinking."

"There's no way around it, age is an athlete's biggest enemy. Gay's career is already quite rich, but being in his 30s still puts him under pressure. After all, not everyone is Gatlin."

"His batting performance was actually weaker compared to previous third batters for the US team."

"Of course, the reason for his decline is also his own aging, which is related to him personally."

"The fourth batter is someone our country has almost never changed."

"Zhao Haohuan, Asia's number one finisher, is a monster whose speed and finishing ability are second only to Bolt."

“For a runner of his build and style, relay races are actually the most suitable, otherwise the disadvantage in starting is still a bit too great. However, I can completely avoid this problem in relay races, which leads to him often running at a higher level in relay races than in his flat races and individual races.”

"Although Rogers is the fourth batter for the American team and his best score is 9.80+, he is still not good enough compared to Zhao Haohuan of our country. He is far behind and is not in the same league as us."

"Zhao Haohuan achieved a time of 9.67 seconds in the bronze medal match, which is enough to prove his strength."

"Judging from this lineup, beating the American team is almost a foregone conclusion."

"Of course, we can't underestimate the American team. After all, they have a lot of freedom in their passing and can pass very well when they're in form."

"Especially since our first and second runners are people who rarely participate in international 100-meter competitions."

"What kind of fluctuations they might experience is likely to be a variable."

"Of course, for Team USA itself..."

Liu Xiang gave a mischievous laugh and said, "Their biggest opponent has never been the Chinese team, or even the Jamaican team, but themselves."

"I believe that track and field fans who frequently watch track and field competitions will definitely agree with what I said."

"For them, whether they can compete or not depends entirely on themselves."

"No matter how strong you are, there's always a chance that Schrödinger will drop the baton."

"Once the Schrödinger's bat drop probability is triggered, even the strongest lineup may be eliminated in the preliminaries."

"There have been many such instances throughout history."

The US team is truly unique in relay team history for comparing such a strong team to this level.

Sometimes they themselves don't even know if they can pass the preliminary rounds.

This is truly unprecedented in history.

No one can surpass the US team in this respect.

Even before, the Jamaican team had the same free-flowing approach to baton passing, only practicing briefly at the last minute.

None of them have reached that level.

That's why Liu Xiang said that at this point.

This immediately brought a knowing smile to the faces of seasoned track and field fans who knew about it.

Some people who didn't understand asked their track and field enthusiasts why they were laughing, and they were happy to turn around and explain.

It will make more people laugh when they hear it.

"Alright, viewers, with the athletes all in their respective positions, the competition is about to begin. As we can see from the camera, the National Stadium 'Bird's Nest' is packed. We believe that the enthusiasm of Chinese track and field fans can be deeply felt by every viewer in front of their televisions."

"In summer, the track and field track glows with a cool red light, and the shouts of tens of thousands of spectators pierce the night sky, turning this stadium, which once witnessed the glory of the 2008 Olympics, into a boiling crucible of competition."

"The first heat of the men's 4x100m relay is about to start. On eight lanes, eight world-class teams are gearing up for the competition. All eyes are on the adjacent lanes six and five, where the Chinese relay team and the American relay team are located."

"If there are no problems, this is the winner of this match. It will only be one of these two teams."

"This is not only a contest to advance to the finals, but also a peak dialogue between the old and new sprinters, and a direct collision between Eastern speed and American power."

"Let's see if it's as Su Shen said."

"The experience of losing to the American team in the relay race."

"He really hasn't."

Yang Jian laughed after he finished speaking, and then he remembered Su Chen's speech. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

To utter such humorous yet domineering words on one's own track.

It's really surprising that he could say something like that.

The electronic screens beside the track clearly displayed the list of participating teams. When the names of the four Chinese athletes appeared, the Bird's Nest stadium erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers.

The first runner-up was Liang Jiahong, the second runner-up was Xie Zhengye, the third runner-up was Su Shen, and the fourth runner-up was Zhao Haohuan.

The man who just broke the World Championship record and won the men's 100-meter title a few days ago with a time of 9.49 seconds, is known as "Su Shen".

They have truly ascended to a divine position in their hearts.

Whenever he appears, the entire stadium erupts in cheers.

And the American team next to them.

It is located in lane 6.

The lineup is equally impressive.

The first runner-up was Trevon Brommell.

The second runner-up was Justin Gatlin.

The third batter was Tyson Gay.

The fourth batter is Michael Rogers.

Each of these names represents a prominent figure in the world of track and field, and they all share a single goal.

Securing first place in their group will help the US team regain its dominance in sprint relay events.

We have to defend it again, don't we?

If we don't defend our title again, everyone will forget that the US team is the world's top relay team.

Because the American team has gone further and further down the path of winning gold medals in recent years.

Most new track and field fans no longer consider the US, China, and Jamaica teams to be a level of relay teams.

Doesn't that mean we have to defend it again?
Otherwise, people will almost forget that the US relay team is a world-class team.

The other teams in the same group also have impressive backgrounds.

The second line of the Little Eagles consisted of Richard Kildey, Harry Edinis-Ayetai, James Ellington, and Daniel Talbot.

Their overall strength is well-balanced, and they have consistently ranked among the world's top teams for many years.

Germany fielded Julian Reus, Sven Knipperhals, Alexander Kosenkov, and Alexo Platini Menga.

The impact of strong European teams should not be underestimated.

The team in lane 7, consisting of Izumi Kazutoshi, Fujimitsu Kenji, Nagata Takuya, and Taniguchi Takuro, represents another force in Asian sprinting.

The Ukrainian team consists of Roman Kravtsov, Sergei Smelik, Vladimir Supulon, and Vitaly Korzh.

The Bahamas team in lane eight consists of Warren Frazier, Shaviz Hart, Elroy McBride, and Trey Smith.

And the Brazilian team in lane one: Gustavo dos Santos, Aldemir Gómez Junior, Bruno de Barros, and José Carlos Moreira.

Everyone is eager to prove themselves in this highly competitive arena.

Even if there is no opportunity, you should try to find one and see if you can advance.

But despite this, everyone knows that the real protagonists in this group are only China and the United States.

Especially in the recently concluded 100-meter race, Su Shen's amazing performance of 9.49 seconds and Zhao Haohuan's 9.67 seconds, Xie Zhengye's strong performance of almost 9.90 seconds this season, and Liang Jiahong's explosive power to break the 10-second barrier, the Chinese team's strength on paper has already surpassed any traditional powerhouse.

And this was only their preliminary team.

Seriously, the top teams haven't even fielded their full roster yet.

They've already become this strong.

This is the source of a strong team's confidence.

The atmosphere in the pre-match warm-up area was tense.

The four American athletes had stern expressions. Gatlin, wearing black sunglasses, stood with his hands on his hips, his gaze sweeping across the track, exuding an innate domineering aura.

Brommel jogged in place, his young face full of confidence. This 20-year-old rookie, who has broken 10 seconds multiple times, is in hot form this season, breaking 9 nine times. Even Gatlin praised him highly.

The four Chinese players appeared relatively calm. Su Shen and his teammates were repeatedly practicing the baton exchange. Their downward passing technique was clean and efficient, and every combination was as precise as machine calibration.

Liang Jiahong stretched his ankles, his eyes fixed intently on the track ahead. He knew that as the first runner, he bore the heavy responsibility of getting the team off to a good start, and he could not back down even in the face of a formidable opponent like Brommell.

After all the warm-up activities are over.

The game officially begins.

"On your marks—"

On your marks——

The bilingual commands were officially broadcast.

The sounds rang out at the same time.

This makes it convenient for the host country and other countries to follow the commands.

The electronic command was broadcast throughout the venue via loudspeaker.

The noisy Bird's Nest instantly fell silent, leaving only the heavy breathing of the athletes and the faint sound of running shoes rubbing against the track.

Liang Jiahong walked to the starting blocks in lane four, squatted down, bent over, put his hands on the ground, and raised his hips slightly, his whole body like a fully drawn bow.

Bromell, on the adjacent track, was also ready to start, and his starting reaction speed is among the best in the world of track and field today.

His biggest advantage this season is undoubtedly his ability to run reaction times of less than 0.13 seconds on multiple occasions.

Xie Zhengye, Zhao Haohuan, and Su Shen stood in front of their respective baton-passing zones, their eyes fixed on their teammates ahead.

Su Shen's eyes were exceptionally sharp. The glory of winning the 100-meter championship a few days ago had not yet faded, and at this moment, only one thought occupied his mind:
Leading the team to create another miracle.

And they must continue to create miracles at the Bird's Nest.

We must let the world see the true strength of China's relay team.

The audience at the Bird's Nest held their breath, and countless mobile phones and cameras were pointed at the starting line.

Everyone was waiting for the starting gun to fire.

"preparation--"

“set——”

The referee's voice rang out again, and Liang Jiahong's body tensed even more, his muscle lines clearly visible under his sportswear.

All the strength in his body was concentrated in his legs, waiting for the command.

Bromell leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent; he was ready to unleash a burst of power at any moment.

They both knew who their biggest rival was.

The rest of their opponents are simply not on the same level.

Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to it.

Bang——————

A gunshot rang out.

Game start.

The crisp sound of the starting gun, like a thunderclap, instantly shattered the tranquility of the stadium.

Almost simultaneously, Bromell shot off like an arrow.

His starting reaction was astonishingly fast—

The number 0.125 seconds instantly appeared on the electronic screen.

This incredible reaction speed gave him a slight advantage from the very start.

Liang Jiahong's reaction was equally quick, reaching 0.139.

It ranks third among all teams.

However, compared to Bromell's ultimate burst of energy, he was still a step too slow.

In the first thirty meters after the start, Bromell's acceleration ability was on full display.

The powerful leg muscles generate tremendous propulsion, resulting in an astonishingly fast stride frequency.

Every step felt like stepping on a spring.

Both of them were quickly pulling away from the rest of the team.

The rest of their teammates are indeed not as good as those two.

There is a gap even in terms of hard power.

Don't think that it's so easy to find players who can break 10.

Even though Liang Jiahong had only opened it for ten seconds.

It's also very difficult to find someone in the world who can be compared to him.

The vast majority of athletes, the vast majority of the first leg, are more than 10 seconds away from the finish line.

This is why so many sprinters make trivial matters their life goals.

Because apart from those top athletes.

It can be opened for 10 seconds at a time.

That is the greatest respect you can show to your own career.

So, compared to them, the other teams...

They're not even in the same league.

Liang Jiahong gritted his teeth.

Accelerate with all your might.

His best time is already ten seconds.

But that was achieved under very favorable tailwind conditions.

Facing an opponent like Bromell whose hard power is firmly among the world's top.

Have to admit.

There is indeed a difference in pure flat running ability.

At 50 meters, the difference is already visible to the naked eye.

Brommel was clearly in the lead, with the two tracks extending in parallel.

The red jerseys of the American team and the red uniforms of the Chinese team raced along the track, but gradually the distance between them widened.

In the stands, supporters of the American team cheered.

Chinese viewers couldn't help but clench their fists.

They whispered encouragement to Liang Jiahong.

Seventy meters, the gap has widened to two body lengths.

Bromell's speed remained swift; he slightly turned his head and glanced at Liang Jiahong behind him.

His eyes held a hint of disdain.

The young American sprinter clearly believed that winning the first leg was a sure thing.

He even began preparing for the upcoming baton exchange, slowing his pace slightly and adjusting his body posture.

Liang Jiahong did not give up.

His breathing became increasingly rapid, but this did not affect his mind.

Because at the start of the race, he knew he couldn't outrun Bromell on flat ground.

So I didn't intend to confront him head-on here.

He just needs to keep up as much as possible.

We'll rely on the handover then.

To bridge the gap.

Narrow the gap.

With this thought in mind, even as Rogers kept pulling ahead of him, his gaze remained firm.

He knew that his task was not just to run those hundred meters or so.

More importantly, it creates a perfect opportunity for Xie Zhengye to pass the baton to the second runner.

The essence of relay races is never the absolute speed of a single runner, but the teamwork and tacit understanding in the handover.

The Chinese team was already well aware of this.

Relying solely on flat running and hard power.

Let's not even talk about Team USA.

Jamaica has no chance of winning.

The Chinese team has won so many world championships under the leadership of Suarez.

We even hold the world record.

Then what do you have to compete with us with?
You must have the mindset of a king.

We are the world record holders.

They want to challenge us.

You should definitely give it a try.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Entering the 80-meter pre-run zone, Xie Zhengye had already begun his run.

I glanced back slightly to estimate the distance.

His gaze was fixed on the baton in Liang Jiahong's hand.

Leaning slightly forward, he approached Liang Jiahong.

His speed increased, gradually reaching near his maximum speed.

This is the key to baton exchange in relay races. The receiving runner must reach a speed similar to that of the passing runner before entering the baton exchange zone in order to achieve a seamless connection.

Bromell had already entered the baton exchange zone, and he extended his arm backward, using a downward pass method.

The baton is being prepared to be handed to Gatlin, the second runner.

Yes, the US team has always used a down-pressing style.

This was also the key factor that allowed them to surpass other teams back then.

Because other teams simply don't have the relevant laboratories to research this area.

Therefore, the US team has consistently represented the most advanced technology over the years.

They were indeed the first to equip and practice the downward-pressing method on the entire team.

It must be said that the previous lighthouse was indeed a step forward.

The same applies to competitive sports.

The Gatling gun also starts up very quickly.

This legendary sprinter can run under 9.70 seconds.

Even during the baton exchange pre-run phase.

It also demonstrated an amazing sense of speed.

Just as Brommel was about to complete his pass preparation.

Meanwhile, the baton exchange began for the Chinese team on the other side.

Or……

It's not even called a beginning anymore.

Rather, it already is.

Completed in the blink of an eye.

At the moment when Bromell was about to complete the handover preparations.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

There's a detail you should notice: immediately after Bromell sensed a slightly disdainful glance, he began preparing for the handover. This preparation involved—

The pace began to slow down.

The body's speed began to adjust.

This is a typical American handover.

It's all done arbitrarily, with hardly any skill involved.

It seems to be what they call a training camp.

We didn't gather many times.

They weren't nearly as well-organized as the Jamaican team.

In contrast, the American team...

It's completely different here.

There simply weren't that many adjustments made in advance.

even.

Liang Jiahong was nearing the baton exchange zone.

He suddenly increased his pace.

The baton in his hand was steadily extended forward.

Xie Zhengye, on the other hand, connected with the device as if by teleportation.

His right hand precisely grasped one end of the baton.

The whole process was lightning fast, without the slightest pause.

It was as perfect as a team performance in a training session.

Liang Jiahong's voice hadn't even finished.

Xie Zhengye.

The handover has been completed.

"A perfect handover!"

"Even after the handover, we completely closed the gap and took the lead!"

At that moment, the audience at the Bird's Nest erupted in a huge gasp.

Perhaps they don't understand too many of the rules.

But when the handover of their own business went so smoothly.

The smooth handover even erased the American team's advantage of running flat in the first leg.

It still makes people...

I couldn't help but yell along with the atmosphere.

The moment the baton was handed over, Xie Zhengye seemed to be injected with new energy.

The speed instantly surged to its maximum.

Although the handover between Bromell and Gatlin was completed smoothly, it was noticeably slower than usual.

Perhaps Bromell was overconfident, or perhaps the Gatling gun was activated a little too late.

When Gatlin took the baton, Xie Zhengye had already achieved an incredible comeback with a perfect handover.

Yes, we're number one now.

The US team no longer relies on flat running to create an advantage.

The two-body-length gap that was just moments ago was completely erased after a textbook-perfect baton exchange, with Xie Zhengye now leading Gatling by more than a body length.

"Great! We're in the lead! We're number one!"

Liu Xiang chimed in.

His eyes were fixed on the track.

I was afraid of missing any detail.

This is a common problem among amateur commentators; they simply can't be as composed as professional commentators.

In a direct competition, he's definitely a professional.

But when it comes to the field of commentary...

Liu Xiang could only do his best to maintain his job.

They were afraid that their explanations would provoke criticism or dissatisfaction from the audience.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The red figure moved like lightning.

Xie Zhengye was in front, Gatlin was behind.

Both of them were speeding along the track.

This scene caught all the viewers completely off guard.

The smiles on the faces of the American team supporters instantly froze.

Chinese audiences were ecstatic.

Cheers swept across the entire Bird's Nest like a tidal wave.

They started with such a large lead.

Just gone?
The American team looked like they all had high blood pressure.

After completing the handover, Liang Jiahong did not stop immediately; he continued running for a few more steps.

When Xie Zhengye was in the lead.

He couldn't help but excitedly wave his fist.

Gasping for air.

Why is this? Because he knows.

I completed my task very well.

Although his flat running ability is not as good as Bromell's.

But he delivered a solid performance and a perfect handover.

This laid a solid foundation for the team to take the lead in the next leg of the relay.

Of course, the American team also completed the handover very quickly.

There is no problem here.

The second leg of the competition has officially begun.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Xie Zhengye is sprinting with all his might right now.

His stride is wide and his stride frequency is extremely fast. His high-intensity training over the years has given him the ability to consistently break ten minutes.

At this moment, he was approaching his limit, and all he could hear was the sound of the wind and the shouts of the audience.

But he knew very well how formidable Gatling was behind him.

The man who once briefly dominated the sprint track.

Even though he is no longer young, his explosiveness and finishing ability are still among the world's best.

World Championship and Olympic gold medals are not won for nothing.

The fact that he was able to surpass his original limits after his comeback shows that Gatling guns are indeed very powerful.

It's not some worthless shoddy product with an undeserved reputation.

The Gatling gun certainly didn't disappoint.

After completing the baton exchange, he quickly adjusted his pace, and his powerful leg strength made his acceleration like a beast pouncing on its prey.

Every step was full of power.

His stride was longer than Xie Zhengye's, and his ability to accelerate continuously in the later stages was terrifying.

A solid ability to achieve a time under 9.70 seconds.

This was fully demonstrated at that moment.

The audience could clearly see the red figure getting closer and closer.

Xie Zhengye tried his best to maintain his lead, but Gatlin's pursuit was too fierce...

The gap is narrowing little by little.

At 40 meters, Gatlin had already closed the gap by half a body length.

At 50 meters, the two were almost neck and neck.

At the 60-meter mark, Gatlin, with his superior late-race explosiveness, successfully overtook the opponent.

Moreover, the Gatling gun's advantage is constantly expanding.

He was like a runaway sports car, getting faster and faster, widening the gap between himself and Xie Zhengye with every step.

Before entering the baton exchange zone, Gatlin was already more than a meter ahead of Xie Zhengye.

This is a considerable gap, especially in a relay race with many top competitors.

A difference of one meter often means that the scales of victory have tipped.

The atmosphere at the Bird's Nest became tense again, with the shouts of the Chinese audience becoming more urgent, and everyone cheering for Xie Zhengye.

They were also worried for Su Shen, who was about to take over.

Xie Zhengye's face was filled with resentment. He had given it his all, but he still couldn't withstand a legend like Gatling.

He knew that he had to complete the handover as soon as possible and hand over the heavy responsibility of catching up to Su Shen, the third runner.

That teammate who just ran an amazing 9.49 seconds.

Gatlin had already spotted Guy in the baton exchange zone; his arm was outstretched, the baton in his hand ready to be used.

Ready to transport.

After all, the US team also uses a downward passing style.

This is somewhat similar to the Chinese team.

Gay's start was equally swift. This former world-class sprinter, though gradually losing his former prowess and now in a semi-retired state, was still in his prime.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

His experience and speed should not be underestimated.

The US team's coaching staff smiled with satisfaction on the sidelines, believing that Gatlin had given the team a significant advantage.

As long as Guy continues to perform consistently, that's all that matters.

Maintain the lead until the fourth batter.

There is hope if we win.

As for why we use "hopeful" instead of "certain to win,"...

This shift in thinking and mindset.

Americans themselves may not even realize it.

As the lights of the track and field stadium focused on the 20-meter relay zone, and as the cheers of the audience coalesced into a deafening wave, the men's 4×100-meter relay final was entering its most crucial turning point.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The handover between the second and third runners.

This is not a simple relay race, but an ultimate fusion of speed and teamwork, a seamless integration of tactics and trust.

The third leg is crucial, as it connects the previous and subsequent legs.

Our third runner here is a familiar face to everyone.

Su Shen.

This "Chinese Flying Man," who has been racing on the track for over a decade, is patiently waiting for the third runner to arrive.

Zhao Haohuan, who is about to take over the final leg of the race, is already poised in the pre-race zone, ready to face the test of the final sprint.

From the moment the second runner stepped into the acceleration zone, every second on the track was filled with tension.

Every move is crucial to the final outcome of the match.

At this point, the competition on the track had reached a fever pitch. Rivals on adjacent tracks were almost neck and neck, and the strong winds provided both an advantage and increased the difficulty of passing the baton.

Xie Zhengye, the second runner, kept his eyes fixed on the marker ahead, with not only the whistling wind in his ears but also the shouts from the stands.

Furthermore, teammate Su Shen gave a signal from the pre-race area.

He knew that as the key figure connecting the two legs of the baton, he had to maintain top speed while doing so.

To create the most comfortable conditions for Su Shen to take over.

This is a tacit understanding that has long been established in team tactics.

After all, this is a team competition, not an individual competition.

The team started working in perfect harmony.

Reduce the speed drop during startup.

This allows for a faster and higher burst of speed at startup.

These are all key factors in leveraging external resources to achieve good results.

According to the existing rules of the 4x100m relay, the receiver can start running within 10 meters before the exchange zone. Including the pre-race zone, this 20-meter acceleration zone becomes the key area for determining the efficiency of the handover. As the second runner, Xie Zhengye, approached the acceleration zone, he began to adjust his body posture, slightly straightening his previously forward-leaning upper body.

Hold the end of the baton with your right hand, grip the baton firmly with your middle and index fingers, and press down firmly with your thumb to ensure that the baton will not fall off during high-speed running.

This grip method is the optimal choice after countless trials, ensuring stability during transmission.

It also allows the receiver to exert force instantly without needing to adjust the grip position.

In the pre-run zone for the third leg, Suarez was already fully focused.

Since first taking the third baton at the 2007 Osaka World Championships, this position has accompanied him through countless major competitions.

Although he felt that his best position was still the first lane.

But now, in order to compete with Bolt.

He forced himself to become the strongest third-ranked cultivator.

Of course, in this timeline, through his experience from two lifetimes and prior training, he has already mastered the talent for cornering.

This is why he needs to run the third leg even more.

As long as Bolt is still around, as long as Bolt is still in the third leg.

So no one but him can withstand Bolt's momentum.

So he has to be here.

Guarding the third baton!
After all, the technical requirements for the third leg are extremely complicated.

It is necessary to simultaneously take into account the four core tasks of starting, receiving the baton, running on the curve, and passing the baton.

Moreover, it also serves as a bridge between the past and the future.

Fortunately, thanks to his superb skills and rich experience, Su Shen had already internalized these movements as muscle memory.

Su Shen's gaze was fixed on his second-runner teammate, Xie Zhengye. At the same time, he glanced at the positions of the opponents on the adjacent track, his brain working at high speed to calculate the best time to start.

For the third runner, starting too early will cause a decrease in speed when receiving the baton.

Starting too late may result in missing the optimal handover position, or even being penalized for exceeding the 20-meter relay zone.

This precise timing judgment stems from his day-to-day specialized training.

During training, he would repeatedly simulate the starting reaction at different speeds and distances until each action became a conditioned reflex.

it is good.

It can be started now.

Just thinking about it.

His body leaned slightly forward, his feet were positioned one in front of the other, and the balls of his feet were pressed firmly against the track, like a bow ready to be drawn.

With his arm hanging naturally at his sides and his left arm slightly back, he was ready to receive the baton. According to the relay race positioning rules, the third runner was positioned on the inside lane.

Suarez is not Usain Bolt.

He won't let his guard down.

Guy is also a worthy opponent.

The greatest respect we can show him when he gets old is to give him our all.

Make him realize that he should retire.

This is the greatest respect you can show to a veteran.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Su Shen's breathing rhythm was steady and deep.

Each inhalation corresponds precisely to the stride frequency.

It delivers oxygen to the muscles efficiently.

Reserve enough energy for the upcoming cornering sprint.

three.

two.

One.

"Xie Zhengye ultimately couldn't withstand the Gatling gun!"

Just as Yang Jian was still sighing.

The handover between the second and third batons is about to begin.

In the instant he awaited the activation signal, Su Shen's mind was free of any distractions, focused only on the team's tactical plan and countless replays of training scenarios.

He knew perfectly well that the third runner's run on the bend was the key turning point in the entire relay race, and many teams secured victory by overtaking on the bend during the third runner's run.

His task is to perfectly take over the baton.

He used his speed advantage in the curves to pave the way for Zhao Haohuan, who was in the final leg of the race.

This sense of mission filled his eyes with determination and confidence.

The allure of competitive sports lies not only in the contest between people, but also in the struggle between people and the natural environment.

The wind speed at the venue that day reached 1.2 meters per second, which was within the favorable wind speed range allowed by the rules, but it still brought considerable challenges to the baton exchange.

For athletes running at high speeds, even a slight crosswind can affect their balance and increase the risk of the baton falling off.

Fortunately, Su Shen possesses scientific wind-controlling technology.

Wind is advantageous to him.

Whether it's a tailwind or a headwind.

After all, everyone else's wind is the same as his wind.

Therefore, both tailwinds and headwinds are advantageous.

"President Su! Answer it!!!"

Xie Zhengye truly did his best.

But in the end, he couldn't withstand the Gatling gun.

They were pulled apart by more than 1 meters.

When Xie Zhengye, the second runner, crossed the marker 6-9 meters from the pre-run zone, Su Shen instantly caught the pre-run signal, pushed off the ground with both legs, and shot out of the pre-run zone like an arrow.

The distance to this marker is the optimal value calculated through repeated testing, allowing the receiver enough time to accelerate to a speed close to the passer.

It also avoids wasting energy by starting too early.

This instantaneous judgment, made without any hesitation, was entirely the result of the tacit understanding formed through their long-term cooperation.

After all, they ate and lived together at the same training base.

It's impossible without tacit understanding.

Perhaps not as smooth as the silky texture Zhang Peimeng gave Su Shen.

But it's definitely very good.

Nothing to complain about.

Su Shen's left hand accurately reached for the baton, his thumb and the other four fingers forming a circular grip.

The instant the baton was touched
The fingers tightened quickly, completing a seamless transition from "ready to receive the baton" to "firm grip".

The two used the internationally mainstream downward baton exchange technology. The advantage of this technology is that the receiver does not need to adjust the grip position of the baton and can immediately enter the sprint state after receiving the baton, which greatly improves the transfer efficiency.

Moreover, this is the downward pressure that Su Shen improved.

It can be described as having only advantages and no disadvantages.

At the moment of the relay, the baton is always positioned to the side and slightly behind the two runners, away from the center line of the track.

This avoided the risk of colliding with other athletes.

According to the rules, the validity of a relay race handover depends on whether the baton is positioned within the relay zone, rather than on the athlete's body or limbs.

Therefore, the two athletes made a point of ensuring that the baton was handed over in the center of the relay zone, thus avoiding the risk of stepping on the line and committing a foul.

This also leaves ample space for subsequent running.

"Pass the baton between the second and third legs!"

"success!!!"

"Guy is really getting old. He can't hold on at all here. He's been pulled far ahead by Su Shen in an instant!"

The moment the handover was completed, the two exerted their strength almost simultaneously.

Su Shen continued to accelerate forward, while Xie Zhengye, the second runner, gradually slowed down and left the core area of ​​the track.

He has done all he could.

He did his best.

There's nothing we can do if we can't match the Gatling gun's raw power.

Just do your best to complete your tasks.

The rest depends on our strongest third and fourth batters.

During this process, Su Xie's body did not collide with anything, and there was not even any extra eye contact; everything was completed in the blink of an eye.

This scene perfectly illustrates the true meaning of the 4x100m relay – it is not a simple superposition of four sprinters, but a coordinated operation of an organic whole.

Every individual must serve the overall interests of the team.

At this moment.

On the adjacent track, there was a brief pause in the baton exchange between the second and third batons of a strong Amelica team.

Because the receiver started a little late, the passer had to slow down and wait, and this momentary hesitation caused them to lose 0.1 seconds of speed.

The perfect handover between Su Shen and his teammates did not result in a loss of speed.

Instead, the smooth transitions resulted in an increase in speed, a result of this increase and decrease.

The gap on the track has begun to widen quietly.

After receiving the baton, Su Shen immediately entered the running mode on the curve.

One of the core tasks of the third leg is to maintain speed and overtake in the corners, which is precisely Suarez's strength.

His cornering technique is known in the industry as the "Crescent Moon Knife," which, with its reasonable body tilt angle and precise stride frequency control, minimizes speed loss when running on curves.

Of course, in the previous timeline, the emphasis was more on the proportion of adjectives.

And on this timeline.

It's just a declarative sentence.

A straightforward declarative sentence.

Bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang.

When running on a curve, Su Shen's body leans inward at about 15 degrees, with the outer leg having a slightly longer stride than the inner leg, and the force of each push-off is precisely directed towards the center of the curve.

This technique ensures both the balance of centripetal force and allows the force of pushing off the ground to be fully utilized.

His arm swing amplitude was significantly greater than when running on a straight track, with the outer arm swinging more and the inner arm swinging slightly less.

The coordinated movement of the arms helps the body maintain balance, while also providing assistance for the legs to exert force.

At this moment, Su Shen's speed had increased to a level that would be absolutely impossible to achieve in a normal 100-meter dash.

Does it simply add up the speed directly?

Compared to a regular 100-meter race.

Even if he is a player with the best future.

It will also be much faster.

This speed is astonishing when running on curves.

As Guy kept his eyes fixed on the tangent of the curve, his brain was rapidly calculating the best route, trying to avoid running into the deceleration zone on the inside while also preventing the running distance from being increased due to an overly wide route.

The red figure in the fifth lane.

After receiving the baton, he barely slowed down and sprinted all the way to the finish line.

It's like a bend in the road.

This does not exist.

It didn't bother him much at all.

This scene was actually performed by Guy; he's had this level of skill before.

He used to be someone with a talent for cornering.

Otherwise, how could he have been the third batter for the US team for so long?

This was the third runner for the strongest track and field nation back then.

Ordinary people have no right to stand here.

Unfortunately, as he got older, and after several years of training, he began to consider retiring and stopped pushing himself so hard.

Guy's abilities have been lost.

This talent point.

It's almost gone.

Therefore, he needs more mental focus and calculation here in order to run faster.

Unlike during its peak.

Everything was handled with ease.

There's no need to bother thinking about these things.

Your body will provide the answer naturally.

"Alright! Su Shen has completely overwhelmed Guy!"

"The distance is widening, and the number of body parts is constantly increasing!"

"Guy is completely at his breaking point!!!"

In the latter half of the curve, Su Shen began to gradually overtake.

He first closed the distance with his opponent in front of him, taking the lead in the attack.

Then, with its superior acceleration, it cleanly and decisively overtook its opponent from the outside.

This breakthrough not only improved the team's ranking, but also created a favorable position for Zhao Haohuan, the fourth batter.

Stars and Stripes rivals on adjacent tracks.

Feeling the pressure from Su Shen, and despite trying to catch up, Su Shen maintained a steady pace and was not disrupted by his opponent's rhythm.

No, let alone being affected by the rhythm, Guy can't be affected by his current strength at all.

In addition, he had just won the 100-meter race, successfully defending his title.

It was at the height of its power.

What do you have to offer him?

Even peak-era Gay couldn't touch him, let alone the current Gay.

Even though Guy originally had a very strong mental fortitude.

However, there is a gap in strength.

There was absolutely nothing he could do.

As Su Shen sprinted through the bend, Zhao Haohuan, the fourth runner, was already ready in his pre-run zone.

The fourth leg is the "decisive baton" in a relay race.

It directly determines the final outcome of the competition, requiring athletes to have exceptional sprinting ability, stable mental qualities, and precise baton exchange techniques.

Zhao Haohuan is a top sprinter in China and has achieved outstanding results in the 100-meter event.

His ability to sprint in the final stretch of the race is highly praised, which is the core reason why the team chose him to be the fourth batter.

Zhao Haohuan's pre-run preparations were exactly the same as Su Shen's, but he also had his own unique characteristics.

His tall stature and longer stride allow him to start at a slightly slower pace in the acceleration zone, but his sustained speed after acceleration is more advantageous.

His gaze was fixed on Su Shen, observing Su Shen's running posture and distance to determine when to start.

For the fourth runner, the speed transition during the baton exchange is particularly important, because at this point the race has entered its final stage, and any slight loss of speed could result in missing out on a medal.

Zhao Haohuan's hands hung naturally at his sides, his right hand ready to receive the baton.

His feet are slightly wider apart and his center of gravity is lower, which allows him to generate more power when he starts to push off the ground.

At the same time, maintain physical stability to deal with possible emergencies.

While waiting to take over the baton, Zhao Haohuan kept replaying training scenes with Su Shen in his mind.

The two have practiced baton exchanges thousands of times during training, covering different speeds, distances, and weather conditions.

It simulated almost all possible scenarios.

It is precisely this kind of high-intensity specialized training.

And it lasted for ten years.

This established an unbreakable trust between the two.

Zhao Haohuan believed that Su Shen would accurately pass the baton to him.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Su Shen also believes that Zhao Haohuan can live up to this trust and complete the final sprint mission.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The sound of Su Shen's spiked shoes was getting closer and closer.

After completing the overtake on the corner, Su Shen quickly adjusted his body posture, switching from running on the corner to running as he was about to exit the corner.

He gradually straightened his upper body, slightly increased his stride, and maintained a steady pace. At the same time, he began to observe Zhao Haohuan's position, making final preparations for passing the baton.

At this moment, his speed remained high, without slowing down in the slightest despite the impending baton pass. This technique of "passing the baton without slowing down" is key to improving baton handover efficiency.

It is also the core of the improved pressure-type handover technology by Su Shen.

The handover zone between the third and fourth runners.

The air in the Bird's Nest Stadium has reached boiling point.

The red figure, like a sword drawn from its sheath, rushed through the bend with a whistling sound, heading straight for the white line at the junction.

That's God Su.

His right arm was slightly extended forward, his palm tightly gripping the relay baton covered with anti-slip rubber, the red of the baton blending seamlessly with his team uniform.

The afternoon sun was so intense it almost burned one's eyes.

At this moment, his lead had grown to a full three or four meters, leaving the American team's third batter, Gay, behind.

The once-renowned veteran sprinter could only watch Su Shen's retreating figure, swinging his arms with his last ounce of strength.

However, his stride frequency was no longer as vigorous as it once was, and each step he took carried a visible heaviness.

The old injuries he had sustained over the years were throbbing under the intense physical exertion, causing his stride to shorten by half an inch.

I'm getting old after all.

Otherwise, things would never have turned out so tragically.

"Su Shen forcefully shook off Guy!"

"It's safe now!"

"Now let's see how much of a lead we want to take!"

Yang Jian was overjoyed; seeing his own people so strong always put him in a good mood.

The audience in the stands went crazy.

The shouts of 100,000 people merged into a torrent that blew off the roof of the entire stadium.

Our track and field fans are no less than those anywhere else.

As long as you can produce results.

I'll show you world-class treatment right away.

Amidst the roaring cries of "Su Shen! Su Shen!"

Interspersed with the waving of countless red flags.

A red wave poured down from the stands.

It almost submerged the runway.

At this moment.

Su Shen's vision was not of Guy, nor of cheers, but of the tall figure in front of him wearing the same red team uniform.

The fourth batter is Zhao Haohuan.

Zhao Haohuan is over 1.9 meters tall, which makes him a "giant" among sprinters.

With such a height, a slow start is an inherent disadvantage, but the pre-race zone rules in relay races have become the best weapon to make up for this shortcoming.

At this moment, he was standing at the starting line of the pre-race zone, his body slightly leaning forward, his right leg bent at the knee and his left leg pushing off the ground, his arms hanging naturally. He turned his head one last time, his gaze fixed on Su Shen's hand that was handing him the baton.

After determining the location.

Startup begins.

Pre-run.

His breathing was frighteningly steady.

The rise and fall of the chest cavity perfectly matched the rhythm of the pre-run.

Each exhale is precisely timed to coincide with a break in the stride frequency.

This is a rhythm they've repeated tens of thousands of times on the training field; it's a tacit understanding etched into their very bones.

Ten years have passed, and we still haven't developed any understanding or tacit agreement.

They had long since become one.

"Zhao Haohuan begins the pre-race!"

Liu Xiang shouted a reminder, but the cheers at the scene were too loud, and even with a loudspeaker, his voice was quickly drowned out by the deafening cheers.

But Zhao Haohuan's ears seemed to be equipped with precise radar, instantly capturing that invisible command.

He suddenly exerted force with his right leg, and his body shot out like an arrow, with long and steady strides, each step landing like a wedge driven into the track.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

In the pre-race zone, he needs to increase his speed to near his mid-race peak within this short distance.

This is the key to overcoming the height disadvantage, and it's the secret weapon that the Chinese relay team has honed day and night.

Su Shen's speed did not decrease at all; his stride frequency was so fast that it was almost a blur, and the speed at which his lower legs folded was "lightning" level, which had been certified by scientific instruments.

At the same time, his center of gravity was extremely low, and each time his foot landed, it landed precisely on the elastic area of ​​the track, converting the ground reaction force into forward propulsion.

At this moment.

In Su Shen's eyes.

Only Zhao Haohuan's right hand.

That was the handover point they had agreed upon—the tiger's mouths facing each other, the four fingers together, and the tip of the baton was to be precisely positioned within the lines of Zhao Haohuan's palm.

In contrast, the handover area for the American team was in complete chaos.

Guy used his last bit of strength to pass the baton, but his speed had already plummeted, completely disrupting Rogers' starting rhythm for the fourth runner.

Rogers is much shorter than Zhao Haohuan and has no advantage in wingspan, making his disadvantage of slow acceleration even more obvious.

At that moment, due to Guy's dawdling, his center of gravity momentarily lost its balance when receiving the baton, and he staggered.

In the world of sprint relay, that half-beat of hesitation is an insurmountable barrier.

of course.

No rod fell off.

Already very good.

At least there are still achievements.

Isn't it.

When the US team has no results.

There are just too many.

Meanwhile, Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan were exchanging positions.

It was a textbook example of the art of downward handover.

There are still five meters to go before reaching the white line of the handover area.

Su Shen's right arm shot forward, and the tip of the baton precisely touched Zhao Haohuan's tiger's mouth.

moment.

I could feel the temperature of the stick.

Zhao Haohuan's fingers snapped shut with lightning speed, gripping the stick tightly.

There was not the slightest shaking.

There was no pause.

The baton passing and receiving are completed in 0.8 seconds, seamlessly connected, as if the two hands were born to be together.

At the moment of receiving the baton, Zhao Haohuan's hips suddenly rotated, adjusting his body's center of gravity from the forward-leaning posture of the pre-run to the parallel posture of the mid-run.

His stride instantly widened to its maximum, showcasing his height advantage of over 1.9 meters to the fullest.

With each step, he gained ten centimeters more distance than Rogers.

His arm swing was large and powerful, while his shoulders remained perfectly steady.

The air rushed in and out of his chest with a desperate, all-or-nothing force.

The cheers from the stands suddenly rose eight octaves.

Everyone remembers that just a few days ago in the men's 100-meter final, Zhao Haohuan ran an astonishing 9.67 seconds, a speed that is worthy of being recorded in track and field history.

At this moment, holding the baton and carrying the advantage left by Su Shen, he launched an attack towards the finish line.

The handover failed because Guy and Rogers lacked coordination.

The gap was more than six or seven meters.

At this point, Zhao Haohuan would have to fall down directly.

otherwise.

I genuinely don't know how to lose.

Zhao Haohuan had already sped off when Rogers started chasing him, only six or seven meters behind.

Rogers' best time is 9.80+ seconds, and he is a well-known name in the sprinting world. His stride is not short, but in front of Zhao Haohuan, everything seems pale and powerless.

He stared at the red figure ahead, at the figure's astonishingly large strides, at the figure's speed so fast it seemed as if it were about to fly...

I could only feel my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

He is very clear.

Don't even mention such a huge gap.

Even if there is no difference.

Let's start running together.

He couldn't hold on either.

The gap in strength is too obvious.

If there is no advantage in the early stages.

He is completely outmatched.

Even though his muscles were roaring.

Even though his Achilles tendon was burning hot.

It's useless.

However, the distance between him and Zhao Haohuan not only did not shorten, but widened at a visible speed.

But in Zhao Haohuan's eyes, there was only the conspicuous finish line.

What Rogers?

They don't even care.

He didn't look at Rogers behind him, nor at the other teams on either side, nor even at the numbers ticking on the timer. Only one thought occupied his mind—

run! run! run!
His feet slammed onto the track, making a dull thud, like the beating of war drums.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The calf muscles are taut like steel, and each fold is like a spring storing energy, releasing amazing explosive power.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

His body traced a perfect arc in the wind, and his red team uniform fluttered in the sunlight like a flag waving in the wind.

He was more than seven meters ahead of the finish line, fifty meters away.

Seventy meters ahead by more than eight meters.

then.

Zhao Haohuan turned his head and looked.

It seems like I just remembered.

Why bother competing with the American team?

There's absolutely no need to waste your energy.

You can take a walk for the next few dozen meters.

Guy was even slumped on the track at that moment.

He supported himself on the ground with both hands, breathing heavily.

He watched Zhao Haohuan's figure recede into the distance, and the red light grew brighter and brighter, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

He knew he was truly old; the man who once dominated the track had had his edges smoothed by time.

He recalled what his teammates had said before the game: "We've been practicing our handover techniques extra."

I recall those perfunctory training sessions.

I remember being forced to participate in the competition when I was in a semi-retired state.

A bitter, self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

Rogers was still chasing, but his speed was getting slower and slower.

His breathing became disordered.

My steps became heavy.

My vision started to blur.

He watched Zhao Haohuan's back as the red figure drew closer and closer to the finish line.

He knew he could never catch up, no matter what.

Although we're still following it.

But it's obvious that the opponent has already slowed down.

otherwise.

The gap is probably more than ten meters.

Absolutely no problem.

too frightening.

Now, the Chinese relay team.

Really are……

Too scary.

No wonder Su Shen said that before the match.

I was initially feeling a bit unhappy.

That's a bit too presumptuous.

But now, looking at Zhao Haohuan's distant figure...

I only realized it suddenly.

They were simply stating the facts.

There was no arrogance involved.

I'm just stating a fact.

The last ten meters.

Zhao Haohuan's pace slowed down, relying entirely on inertia to move forward.

But a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

He even turned his head slightly to take one last look at Rogers behind him.

There was no arrogance in that glance, only composure.

Then, he turned his gaze away and launched his final sprint toward the finish line.

Or perhaps it was a final walk.

The moment his chest struck the finish line.

Cheers erupted at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

It almost lifted the entire ceiling off.

"37.20!!!"

"The outstanding results were achieved by blatantly faking it!!!"

"Team USA has absolutely no chance!"

"Even if they opened it for 38 seconds and it ran at 37.91, it was useless!"

"Just as Su Shen said before the match."

"Don't ask me what to do if the relay team loses to the United States."

"I've never lost before, I have absolutely no experience."

"You seem to have a lot of experience in how to win."

Amidst Yang Jian's laughter and conversation.

The numbers on the electronic timer.

It stopped at 37.20 seconds.

The US team's result was 37.91 seconds.

A difference of 0.71 seconds is equivalent to a difference of more than seven meters in a 100-meter individual race.

In relay races, the lead is an even larger advantage of about eight meters.

In the end, Zhao Haohuan was too lazy to run anymore.

What is a super relay team?
This.

That's probably it.

After Zhao Haohuan reached the finish line, he did not stop immediately, but continued running forward for more than ten meters with the momentum.

I checked the results.

Then he suddenly turned around.

He raised the baton high in his hand.

The cameraman and the cameraman were both very considerate.

A close-up shot was immediately taken.

The red baton gleamed in the sunlight.

Like a burning star.

Guy slowly stood up, looked at the Chinese team embracing and celebrating on the track, and after a while, he also slowly clapped.

His applause was soft, but sincere.

He knew that he had lost to a stronger team and to a more glorious era.

and so.

There's nothing to worry about.

The era of Team USA.

past.

At least for now.

past.

Things to come.

Who can say for sure?

方正 (Fangzheng)

It's none of my business anymore.

Is not it.

One's own career.

You've tried your best.

That's enough.

Rogers walked off the track with his head down.

His back view was lonely, like a warrior abandoned by the times.

The last one.

The perceived gap.

It is the most obvious.

He was also the most desperate one.

A figure that Zhao Haohuan could not approach at all.

Even when others release massive amounts of water, they still manage to ruin their own situation.

It is really.

It demoralizes people.

In the center of the track, the four members of the Chinese team walked up to Zhao Haohuan, surrounded him, and raised the baton high.

He was receiving cheers from the entire audience.

It was also a subtle way of telling the Jamaican team that was about to appear.

This is our strength.

If you can't even handle this.

Let's just let them win the championship.

We're not embarrassed.
