The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2540 You guys are indeed stronger than before, so all my practice of new techniques wasn't in vain.

No one expected to win the game like this.

No one expected the American team to be so easily defeated.

To reiterate, many Chinese people's impression of sports is limited to the 08 Olympics.

Don't find it strange. After all, the competition that garnered national attention was in 08. This competition is the same. If it weren't held in China, most people wouldn't have paid that much attention to it.

Therefore, many people still believe that Americans are quite powerful.

After all, in 08, the US team only made a mistake.

Despite all these years of publicity, we've never actually seen anyone see us explode.

Of course, some stereotypes still exist.

This is especially true among track and field fans of certain limited-time competitions.

After all, they neither search for information nor want to do any research; they rely mainly on first impressions.

We need to change these impressions.

What you're trying to do isn't popular science.

Instead, it was at a grand event that everyone was paying attention to.

To do this right under their noses.

That will become their new impression.

Even after a long time, they will remember this event, so the advantage of impression-based memory is its lag.

Even if you are no longer able to live, because of this deep impression, such an image will still exist in their minds.

This was impossible in 08, but it was possible in 15.

This time, things might be different at the Bird's Nest.

The US team was violently pulled down.

That's the best sign.

The Chinese relay team will definitely finish first in the final three.

37.20 seconds, ranking first.

The United States team came in second with a time of 37.91 seconds.

The Eagles came in third with a time of 38.20 seconds.

Germany finished fourth with a time of 38.57 seconds.

The young man ranked fifth because the best person was benched, which is similar to the historical record, with a time of only 38.60 seconds.

They didn't perform well.

The upward-sloping handover method was not fully implemented.

This game was just average, nothing particularly noteworthy.

However, the performance of the little notebook depends on the situation.

A good performance is like being a god.

If you don't perform well, you'll be a complete disaster.

Absolutely no problem.

Ukraine finished sixth with a time of 38.79 seconds.

The Bahamas finished seventh with a time of 38.97 seconds.

The Brazilian relay team finished last.

Because once you leave the handover area, it goes directly to DNF.

With that, the top three positions are already set. If you want to get the Q, you need to beat Germany's 38.57 seconds.

The second team to compete was Jamaica.

The participants in this group are—

1. Jamaica

Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell, Rashid Dwyer, Nicol Ashmead
Jamaica (JAM).

2. France

and many more.

The lineup here doesn't seem as strong as the previous one, but their overall burst damage is actually more ferocious.

"Dear viewers, welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2015 Beijing World Athletics Championships. I am Yang Jian." Yang Jian's voice was clearly transmitted to viewers across the country and even the world through the broadcast signal, calm yet with just the right amount of excitement.

He speaks with an air of expertise from the very first word.

"Sitting next to me is still Liu Xiang, whom everyone is very familiar with, the Xiang Fei Ren."

Liu Xiang also greeted him casually.

"The atmosphere at the Bird's Nest today was incredibly exciting. It was especially thrilling to witness such a sprint extravaganza on home soil."

“That’s right,” Yang Jian continued, his gaze sweeping over the warm-up figures of the various teams on the track.

"Today we are facing the second heat of the men's 4x100m relay preliminaries. This heat is packed with top athletes, including strong teams from Jamaica, France, and Canada. As everyone knows, the men's 4x100m relay is one of the most exciting events in track and field. It tests not only the athletes' individual speed, but also their baton exchange coordination, tactical planning, and overall teamwork. Every frame is a collision of speed and passion."

"The confrontation between our country and the United States just now was quite exciting."

"I believe everyone still remembers it vividly."

"The next group is also exciting and has many points of interest. The Jamaican team is among them, and they are also the biggest rival of the Chinese relay team in this World Championships."

Liu Xiang nodded, his gaze falling on the Jamaican team's warm-up area, his tone carrying a professional scrutiny: "Indeed, relay events are never about the ability of one person, but the combined strength of four. Especially the Jamaican team, whose dominance in men's sprinting needs no introduction. Since Bolt's emergence, Jamaica has almost monopolized the major championships in the men's 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. However, looking at their lineup today, there's something very interesting."

"That's right. Jamaica and the United States used to be rivals. But in recent years, our track and field team has started to rise and is gradually replacing the United States in the competition with Jamaica."

Yang Jian immediately picked up where Liu Xiang left off, his tone tinged with suspense, and simultaneously displayed Jamaica's starting lineup on the screen: "Liu Xiang's prediction was spot on. I'm sure attentive viewers have already noticed that Jamaica's lineup this time isn't their full-strength team as we expected. Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell, Rashid Dwyer, and Nicol Ashmead are certainly strong players, but viewers familiar with Jamaica know that their core ace players—Usain Bolt and John Blake—are not on this group's starting lineup."

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera immediately focused on the four Jamaican athletes, who were warming up for the final baton exchange. Their movements were smooth and their rhythm was steady, but they lacked Bolt's signature dominance and Blake's sharpness.

Liu Xiang turned slightly to face the camera and began to analyze the Jamaican team's lineup from a professional perspective. His speech was slow but precise:
"Bolt, as the former world record holder in the men's 100m and 200m, remains the pillar of the Jamaican team, while Blake, known as the 'Jamaican Beast,' has a 200m speed almost comparable to Bolt's, and is also a giant in the 100m, capable of breaking 9.70 seconds. Both of these athletes are indispensable core members of the Jamaican team in terms of both individual ability and experience in major competitions. But their absence from today's preliminary rounds is definitely not an accident."

"It was a deliberate tactical arrangement by the Jamaican team; to put it bluntly, it was to conserve their strength."

Liu Xiang said something that might sound like nonsense to seasoned track and field fans, but you have to consider that world-class competitions are for audiences across the country. Many spectators don't actually know the rules, and many will join in at the end.

Therefore, it is normal for this kind of common-sense popular science to occur.

Yang Jian wholeheartedly agreed, adding, "Liu Xiang's judgment is crucial. We all know that the World Championships schedule is quite intensive, with many events in just half a month, which is extremely taxing on athletes' physical strength. Especially for athletes like Bolt, although their peak physical reserves are unmatched, the key to winning the championship is to allocate their energy reasonably and avoid unnecessary consumption. After all, he participated in almost three events, so he had to conserve his energy."

"Moreover, Jamaica is clearly betting everything on the final. By fielding a reserve team in the preliminary rounds, they can ensure their advancement while allowing their key players to get sufficient rest. This demonstrates the confidence of a strong team and reflects a mature tactical consideration."

"Of course, this is enough to show how much he values ​​our final match."

"It seems they still want revenge for what happened in Moscow."

"I think so. We won Moscow very narrowly, and they were actually quite unwilling to accept their defeat."

"This time we'll definitely get it back twice as hard."

"Especially if we can recover at home, it would be like completing a comeback and regaining the face we lost before."

"So we can see from the pre-race interviews and reports that the Jamaican team is taking this relay very seriously."

"They've even mentioned it several times: they've done a lot of training for this relay."

"This is quite different from the previous Jamaican team. It seems that since last year, the Jamaican team has been conducting large-scale training, which is completely different from the previous practice of only sharpening their skills at the beginning of the game."

"The American team clearly didn't do this as well. No matter how eloquently they talk, in the end, it all comes down to actual performance, and the level the American team just delivered made me realize that..."

"Their handover practice isn't very good."

"Now let's take a look at the Jamaican team, who also have the goal of winning the championship. Are the signals they've released just a smokescreen or a real bombshell?"

At this time, all the teams on the track have taken their positions, and the referees are checking the starting blocks and baton exchange areas for each team.

The cheers gradually subsided, and everyone's attention focused on the eight starting points at the front and back of the track.

The camera moved and began focusing on Jamaica.

Liu Xiang's gaze swept over the four Jamaican athletes again, and he analyzed them one by one: "Let's take a look at Jamaica's lineup today. The first runner is Nesta Carter, who was a member of the men's 4×100m relay champion team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He has an extremely fast start reaction speed and excellent explosive power. He is Jamaica's traditionally strong first runner."

"The second runner, Asafa Powell, a former world record holder in the men's 100 meters, has maintained a speed of 9.60+ even in recent years. His elimination this year was entirely due to carelessness. I believe he will not be complacent in the relay race. Powell's pace and speed during the race are world-class. Although he is a bit older, his competitive state is still on point. He has more experience and more refined technique, which has helped to mitigate the effects of declining physical function."

"The third runner, Rashid Dwyer, is a young rider with strong speed and impact, excellent cornering skills, and is a rider that the Jamaican team is focusing on developing."

"The fourth runner, Nickel Ashmead, has outstanding sprinting ability and rich experience in major competitions. However, these two runners are probably just there to make up the numbers, and they won't have a chance to perform in the final."

"Judging from this lineup, the final will definitely be Carter first, Powell second, Bolt third, and Blake fourth."

"However, we can also see the form of Jamaica's other two key players from the preliminary rounds."

"From this, we can deduce their ultimate strength."

"And we shouldn't underestimate this lineup."

“Any one of these athletes would be a top sprinter on a global scale,” Yang Jian added. “But even so, compared to a full-strength lineup with Bolt and Blake, it still lacks a bit of dominance. However, what makes Jamaica so formidable is their incredible roster depth. Even their reserve lineup has the ability to crush most teams, which is why they dared to bench their core players in the preliminaries.”

"Moreover, being in Group 2, they also have the advantage of looking at the results of Group 1 to make their lineup decisions."

"That's why they made that choice."

Liu Xiang picked up the thread, his tone conveying both approval of the Jamaican team and anticipation for the competition: "Athletics has always been about strength. Jamaica's confidence stems from their talent pool and long-term training system in men's sprinting. We can imagine how much stronger the Jamaican team would be if Bolt and Blake were to compete in the finals. But for now, let's focus on this preliminary round and see how this reserve lineup performs, and also see if other teams can capitalize on Jamaica's opportunity to rest their key players and aim for better rankings."

Just then, the referee's announcement rang out, and the athletes from each team stood on the starting blocks, ready to start.

The audience at the Bird's Nest instantly erupted in cheers.

Cheers and shouts rose and fell, deafeningly loud.

Then, with the help of the on-site staff and commentators, things returned to quiet.

Bang! ! !
The sharp crack of the starting gun pierced the clamor above the Bird's Nest. Almost simultaneously, the runners in all eight lanes pushed off the starting blocks, their bodies springing forward like long-awaited springs, instantly transforming the track into an arena of speed.

In the commentary booth, Yang Jian's voice suddenly rose, closely following the rhythm of the game, with every word matching the trajectory of the players' movements.

"The starting gun fires! The race has officially begun! The first runners are off at full speed. Pay attention to the starting reactions in each lane. Nesta Carter, in lane one for the Jamaican team, has an amazing reaction speed!"

Beside him, Liu Xiang's eyes were sharp, his fingertips tapping lightly on the commentary platform, precisely capturing the technical details of each athlete. His tone carried the professional keenness of a professional athlete: "Carter's starting foot push-off angle is controlled at around 45 degrees, and his center of gravity is extremely low. This is a typical explosive starting posture. His reaction time should be around 0.13 seconds, which is also top-level among the world's top athletes. Look at his arm swing frequency; his stride frequency is pushed to the extreme from the moment of the start. This is a traditional advantage of Jamaican athletes, allowing them to establish a lead at the start."

The camera was fixed on Jamaica's Nesta Carter, his body leaning forward, his stride quickening, his red tracksuit drawing a sharp arc on the track.

In contrast, Emmanuel Biron, the first runner for the French team in lane three, and Chavourn Walsh for the Antigua and Barbuda team in lane five, also started with full speed, but in the first 10 meters, they were already half a body length ahead of Catalonia.

"Carter has established a starting advantage!" Yang Jian's commentary quickened as the athletes' running rhythm increased: "Looking at the other athletes, Antigua and Barbuda's Walsh has a slightly slower start, and his reaction time should be around 0.15 seconds. France's Biron has a good starting rhythm, but his explosiveness is slightly inferior to Carter's."

"Justin Werner in lane 4 of Canada and Solomon Bokari in lane 6 of the Netherlands maintained a steady pace at the start, but were unable to challenge Carter's lead for the time being; Henrijo Brunjes in lane 7 of South Africa had a slightly higher center of gravity and a slightly slower stride frequency at the start, which had a significant impact on the first runner."

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Liu Xiang took over the conversation and continued to break down the technical points of the first leg, speaking precisely and without ambiguity: "The core of the first leg is 'fast start and stable transition.' Carter not only had a fast start, but his stride increase was also very reasonable. He quickly transitioned from a small stride at the start to a large stride during the race without any hesitation."

“Look closely at his leg power generation. His thighs swing forward with sufficient height, and his feet make a clear gripping motion when he lands. This minimizes the loss of ground reaction force and converts explosive power into forward speed. On the other hand, some athletes are too eager to succeed at the start, and their stride suddenly widens, causing them to lose balance and hindering their speed improvement.”

As the runners crossed the 50-meter mark, the gaps in the first leg became increasingly clear. Nesta Carter maintained his lead, nearly a body length ahead of second-place Emmanuel Biron, with Chavorn Walsh and Justin Werner close behind, while Solomon Boccari and Henrique Brundius were in the middle of the pack.

"At 60 meters, Carter's lead has widened further!" Yang Jian's voice was full of tension. "His mid-race rhythm has been fully established, and his speed is stable at around 10.2 meters per second, which is an excellent level for the first runner."

"We are still a few dozen meters away from the baton exchange zone. The athletes from each team are starting to adjust their rhythm and prepare to exchange the baton. This is the first crucial moment in the relay race, and the success rate of the baton exchange will directly determine the course of the subsequent race!"

Liu Xiang's gaze immediately focused on the baton exchange preparations of each team, his tone tinged with tension: "The core of the baton exchange is 'synchronization between the runner and the baton.' The first runner needs to slow down in advance to match the speed of the second runner, while the second runner needs to accurately judge the timing of the start, neither too early nor too late. Jamaica's baton exchange coordination has always been world-class. We can see that Carter has already started raising his hand to signal, and the second runner, Asafa Powell, has also started. Their rhythms are perfectly synchronized. This is the foundation of a strong team."

At this moment, Carter had already run into the baton exchange zone, his left hand outstretched with his palm open, ready to pass the baton.

Powell steadily accelerated in front of the baton exchange zone, leaning slightly to the left, his eyes fixed on the baton in Carter's hand, his footwork perfectly synchronized with Carter's.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest hesitation, as if the two people's movements were already ingrained in their very bones.

Putting everything else aside, just this one point will show you the level of Jamaica's passing game. It's definitely much better than the US team's supposed extensive training in passing techniques.

Their current level of handover and overall teamwork far surpasses that of the United States.

That's enough to know.

It seems that Mills has become the head of operations for the relay team.

It certainly boosted their relay performance immediately.

"Jamaica's baton exchange! Beautiful!" Yang Jian shouted excitedly. "Perfect exchange! Powell received the baton without any loss of speed, directly transitioning to the mid-race run. This baton exchange saved Jamaica at least 0.05 seconds!"

Almost simultaneously, other teams also completed their baton exchanges. France's Emmanuel Biron and Christophe Lemaître successfully exchanged batons, but Biron slowed down slightly during the exchange, causing Lemaître to need a brief acceleration to keep up with the pace after receiving the baton.

The baton exchange between Antigua and Barbuda's Chavorn Walsh and Daniel Pelé was smooth, with Pelé immediately accelerating after receiving the baton in an attempt to close the gap with Powell.

Canada's Justin Werner and André de Grasse exchanged the baton precisely. De Grasse, young and energetic, instantly maximized his stride frequency after receiving the baton.

The Dutch team's Solomon Boccari and Patrick van Lük successfully completed the baton exchange, but van Lük started his run a little late and was half a body length behind after receiving the baton.

South Africa made a fatal mistake at this point. Henrique Brundjes lost his pace after entering the baton exchange zone, becoming out of sync with his second baton runner, Anaso Chobodwana.

Chobodwana started too early, and Brunjies failed to pass the baton accurately to Chobodwana, causing it to fall directly onto the track.

"South Africa! A baton exchange error!" Yang Jian's voice suddenly turned somber. "The baton fell! Jobodwana immediately turned around to retrieve it, but it was too late. Even if it wasn't ruled out of the exchange zone, the time loss was too great. South Africa is basically out of contention. What a pity!"

Liu Xiang couldn't help but shake his head, his tone filled with regret: "This was the most fatal mistake in the relay race. There was a serious problem with the rhythm matching between the first and second runners. Brundjes, as the first runner, should have gradually slowed down after entering the baton exchange zone, instead of suddenly slowing down. Joe Bodwana also misjudged the timing of his start, and the two lacked coordination, ultimately leading to the drop of the baton. For professional athletes, such mistakes are very rare in major competitions. It can only be said that their pre-race training was not adequate, which is truly a pity."

The camera panned to the South African runners, Brundjes and Chobodwana, who picked up the baton and continued running, their faces filled with frustration. They knew that the moment they dropped the baton, they had already lost their chance to advance. Meanwhile, on the track, Jamaica's second runner, Asafa Powell, had further extended his lead with a perfect baton exchange, and the race had entered the crucial second leg battle.

On the second leg of the race, Asafa Powell quickly adjusted his body to a mid-race running posture after receiving the baton. The former men's 100-meter world record holder demonstrated what "top-level mid-race running ability" means.

His stride was wide, each step he took was powerful, his arm swing was moderate and extremely fast, and his body maintained a perfect forward lean angle. His black figure sped across the track like a black lightning bolt, leaving the other athletes far behind.

"Powell takes over! Full throttle!" Yang Jian's commentary was full of passion. "This veteran's competitive state is still at its peak! His mid-race speed has already exceeded 11.5 meters per second, and it's still increasing! This is a world-class mid-race speed! Look at his running form, his center of gravity is stable, his core is tight, and his leg power chain is complete. From the hips to the thighs to the calves, every link is perfectly coordinated, maximizing his speed!"

From the perspective of sports biomechanics, a detailed analysis of Powell's technical movements reveals that his advantage in the middle of the race lies in his 'hip drive' technique. His hips move forward with a very large amplitude, which effectively increases stride length while reducing energy consumption.

Observe the height of his knee lift, which is always level with his hip. When he lands, the middle of his foot touches the ground first, and then quickly transitions to the forefoot. His digging motion is crisp and clean, which allows him to get maximum propulsion with every step.

In contrast, other athletes were less hip-driven, and their stride length and speed were not up to Powell's pace.

By this time, the runners in the second leg had already crossed the 70-meter mark, further widening the gap. Powell was nearly two body lengths ahead of second-place Christophe Lemaître of France, with Daniel Bailey of Antigua and Barbuda and André de Grasse of Canada close behind Lemaître. Patrick van Lück of the Netherlands was in fourth place, while Anaso Jobodwana of South Africa, though still running, had fallen nearly ten meters behind and was no longer competitive.

"At 80 meters, Powell's lead is unshakeable!" Yang Jian's voice was filled with amazement: "Even with a reserve lineup, the Jamaican team is still terrifyingly strong! Powell's rhythm is getting more and more stable. He doesn't seem to have given it his all yet, and his speed is still at a high level. This is the confidence of a strong team. They can allocate their energy reasonably in the preliminaries and save their strength for the later competitions."

Liu Xiang nodded and added, "You can tell from Powell's movements that he was indeed conserving his energy. He didn't swing his arms to their maximum range, controlled his stride frequency, and didn't exert his full strength when landing. Even so, he was still able to maintain his lead, which shows his absolute strength. For the Jamaican team, the goal in the preliminaries is to advance smoothly, so the athletes won't go all out. They just need to ensure their lead and finish the competition smoothly. This is a very mature tactical arrangement."

On the track, Powell was approaching the baton exchange zone between the second and third runners. He began to gradually adjust his pace and slow down to prepare for the baton exchange.

At this moment, the other teams' second runners also entered the baton exchange preparation stage. The second key moment of the relay race was about to arrive, and the smoothness of the baton exchange once again became the core factor determining the course of the race.

Now, thanks to the Chinese team's promotion of this issue, every relay team is well aware of it.

It's okay if you don't run as well, but you must do a good job of handing over the ball.

If the handover isn't done well, no matter how fast you run, you might still get taken down by your opponent.

"Powell enters the baton exchange zone! Ready to exchange batons with Dwyer!" Yang Jian's voice once again focused on the baton exchange: "Jamaica's baton exchange coordination is being tested again, and this exchange is equally crucial."

Powell controlled the pace of deceleration very well.

Although he is usually the fourth batter, his handover skills seem to be quite high.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

His speed gradually decreased, matching the starting speed of the third runner, Rasheed Dwyer. Dwyer had already started in the baton exchange zone, his pupils seemingly still reflecting the baton he had just been intently watching in Powell's hands.

With a stable body posture and arm swing rhythm in sync with Powell, this handover...

It's likely to be pretty good.

That's pretty good, at least for the Jamaican team.

As expected, Powell, positioned in the center of the baton exchange zone, smoothly handed the baton to Rashid Dwyer. Dwyer received the baton and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately accelerated.

The entire process was as smooth as silk, once again demonstrating the increasingly advanced baton-passing skills of the Jamaican team after Mills' intervention.

"Great handover! Dwyer is in charge!" Yang Jian shouted excitedly.

Jamaica's baton exchange technique was truly superb, with no mistakes in either exchange, which laid a solid foundation for their lead.

The other teams also completed their second baton exchanges. France's Christophe Lemaître and Guy-Erfegé Anumann had a smooth exchange, but Lemaître hesitated slightly when slowing down, causing Anumann to need a brief adjustment of his rhythm after receiving the baton. Antigua and Barbuda's Daniel Bailey and Jared Jarvis had a smooth baton exchange; Jarvis immediately accelerated after receiving the baton, attempting to close the gap with Dwyer.

Canada's André de Grasse and Brendon Rodney made a precise baton exchange. Rodney, young and energetic, maintained a steady pace with a high stride frequency after receiving the baton.

The Dutch team's Patrick van Lück and Limarvin Bonevacia successfully completed the baton exchange, but Bonevacia's start was a little slow, and he was once again put a little distance behind.

Although the baton exchange between Anaso Chobodwana and Antonio Alcana of the South African team was completed, they were already nearly 15 meters behind the leader. For them, the only meaning of the race was to finish the course.

After Dwyer took over the baton, he immediately entered the competition for the third leg. This young Jamaican athlete shouldered the heavy responsibility of maintaining the lead.

The other riders on the track were also doing their best to catch up, trying to close the gap in the third leg, and the race entered a more intense phase of cornering competition.

The third leg of the men's 4x100m relay is also the curve section.

The quality of a driver's cornering technique directly determines whether they can maintain speed.

Therefore, if your cornering technique is poor, even if you are better than this person in the 100-meter dash, you are still very likely to lose the race on the corners.

Successfully navigating the transition from curves to straightaways is a crucial stage for narrowing the gap or widening the lead.

After taking over, Rashid Dwyer quickly adopted a cornering stance, showcasing his superb cornering skills.

The core of cornering is to have good body tilt, stride adjustment, and centrifugal force control.

This also proves that Dwyer's cornering skills are outstanding.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

When his body leans towards the inside of the curve, the angle of lean is controlled at about 15 degrees.

It perfectly counteracted the effects of centrifugal force.

The stride length was also adjusted appropriately for the curves.

The inner stride is slightly smaller, and the outer stride is slightly larger, with no loss of speed.

As a hurdler, Liu Xiang has a deep understanding of cornering techniques. He analyzed it in detail from a professional perspective: "The key to running on a curve is the adjustment of body tilt and stride. Too much tilt will increase the burden on the body and cause a decrease in speed; too little tilt will not be able to counteract centrifugal force and will easily cause you to deviate from the track. Dwyer controlled the tilt angle just right, while keeping his head upright at all times, keeping his eyes fixed on the track ahead, and keeping his core muscles tight throughout the race to ensure body balance."

“Look at his arm swing. The inner arm swing is slightly smaller, and the outer arm swing is slightly larger. This helps him to better control his body balance and maintain speed.”

On the curve, Dwyer's speed remained consistent.

He ran forward with his body leaning forward, his black figure drawing a graceful arc on the bend, his lead remaining unshaken.

Guy-Elfgeer Anumann of France, who followed closely behind, also possessed good cornering skills, but he could not keep up with Dwyer's pace in terms of speed and rhythm, and could only watch helplessly as the gap was maintained or even widened.

"Halfway through the bend, Dwyer is still in the lead!"

Yang Jian's voice is very infectious.

Jared Jarvis of Antigua and Barbuda and Brendon Rodney of Canada also performed well in the corners. Although their cornering skills were not as refined as Dwyer's, they were still able to maintain a steady speed.

The gap wasn't too large.

Limarvin Bonevacia of the Netherlands team had a much worse experience!
My body leaned a little too much on the curve, and my stride wasn't adjusted in time enough, so my speed dropped and I fell behind the runners ahead of me.

Running on curves demands a high level of core strength and physical coordination from the runners. As a young athlete that Jamaica is focusing on developing, Dwyer has undergone systematic training in curve techniques, which is an important reason why he has been able to secure the third leg position.

In contrast, the third runners from other teams still lacked in the details of cornering technique, such as the rhythm of arm swing, stride adjustment, and body balance control, all of which have room for improvement.

This is also a major reason why they are behind the Jamaican team.

As Dwyer ran through the bend and into the straight, the baton exchange area between the third and fourth runners was just ahead.

He began to gradually adjust his body posture, transitioning from the leaning position of running on a curve to the upright position of running on a straight road, while slowing down to prepare for the final baton exchange.

At this moment, the cheers from the stands beside the track reached their peak.

Everyone knew that the final sprint was about to begin, and Jamaica's victory was almost a foregone conclusion, but the audience still hoped that the athletes could achieve even more spectacular results.

Of course, the most important thing is to see if they can surpass our Group 1 Chinese relay team.

After all, this is our home ground in China, and we performed so well in the first group.

So naturally, the audience will favor their own team.

I'm worried that the home team's opponent might be too strong.

"Dwyer enters the baton exchange zone! Ready to complete the final baton exchange with Ashmead!" Yang Jian's voice was filled with anticipation: "This is the final baton exchange of the game, and the crucial one that will determine the final result!"

"Let's wait and see if the Jamaican team can continue their perfect baton exchange performance!"

Preparations for the handover have begun.

Dwyer controlled the pace of the slowdown very well, and the fourth batter, Nickel Ashmead, had also started precisely.

The two were perfectly in sync.

Jamaica's baton exchange training is very systematic. Starting this year and last year, they conduct hundreds of simulated baton exchanges before competitions to ensure that no mistakes occur during major events.

This handover is likely to go well.

In the handover process, whether someone has put in the effort or not, you can tell just by looking at technical innovations and the level of teamwork.

The Jamaican team really practiced.

It's completely different from the American approach of just talking big.

Dwyer steadily passed the baton to Ashmead in the baton exchange zone. The moment Ashmead received the baton, he shot out of the exchange zone like an arrow and headed straight for the finish line.

Meanwhile, the final baton exchanges for the other teams were also completed one after another. Guy-Elfegé Anumann and Jimmy Vicaut of France, Jared Jarvis and Miguel Francis of Antigua and Barbuda, Brendon Rodney and Alan Brown of Canada, and Limarvin Bonevacia and Hensley Paulina of the Netherlands all successfully completed their baton exchanges and entered the final sprint stage.

Although South Africa's Antonio Alkana and Akani Simbine also completed the baton exchange, they were already nearly 20 meters ahead, rendering the result meaningless; they were simply finishing the final leg of the race.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

On the final leg of the race, Nickel Ashmead took over the baton and maximized Jamaica's speed advantage.

This key sprinter for the Jamaican team has an extremely fast stride frequency and a very impactful sprinting posture. His body leans forward, his head is slightly lowered, and his eyes are fixed on the finish line ahead. Every step is full of power.

The black figure sped along the straight road, getting closer and closer to the finish line.

"Ashmee's final sprint!" Yang Jian's commentary was filled with excited shouts:

"At full speed! Jamaica's lead is now far ahead!"

"Ashmead's sprint rhythm is excellent; his arm swing frequency reaches 4.5 times per second!"

Su Shen watched from the side without saying a word, but Zhao Haohuan, who was next to him, had already noticed some clues.

Having followed Su Shen for so long, he had become quite adept at it. Furthermore, his own desire and willingness to learn led to a rapid improvement in his knowledge and judgment.

Ashmead's sprint technique is very sophisticated.

Ok.

It adopts a 'late-race acceleration' sprint method.

By gradually increasing his speed in the last 30 meters, he can reach peak speed at the moment of crossing the finish line.

He exerted force with his legs, his thighs swung forward more aggressively in the final stage, he gripped the ground more forcefully upon landing, and his core muscles were also tightened more, all in order to push his speed to the limit at the last moment.

Moreover, he had a very strong sense of purpose when crossing the finish line, keeping his head and chest forward at all times to ensure that he could cross the finish line as quickly as possible.

It seems the Jamaican team really put in some effort.

In their handover, not a single technical skill could be discerned.

This was something you would never have seen in the previous Jamaican teams.

Zhao Haohuan was summarizing.

Meanwhile, the other runners on the track were also sprinting with all their might. After taking over, Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut displayed strong sprinting ability, with an extremely fast stride frequency, trying to close the gap with Ashmead. However, the gap in the early stages was too large, and he could only firmly hold the second place.

Miguel Francis of Antigua and Barbuda and Alan Brown of Canada were also sprinting at full speed, their paces neck and neck, engaging in a fierce battle for third place.

Hensley Paulinho of the Netherlands is steadily pushing forward from fourth place, attempting to achieve a better result.

"50 meters to go! Ashmead is still in the lead!"

Yang Jian's voice echoed throughout the Bird's Nest.

"Vicaut is chasing hard, but the gap remains! The battle between Francis and Brown is fierce, with the two almost neck and neck. Who will take third place depends on the final moment at the finish line!"

Paulinho is also making a full-fledged push to improve his ranking!

The last 50 meters is the stage where athletes expend the most energy. At this time, it tests not only the athletes' speed, but also their physical reserves and willpower.

As a Jamaican player, Ashmead has ample stamina reserves, and even in the preliminary rounds, he was able to maintain a stable pace in the later stages.

It seems Mills has been quite harsh on him.

On the French side, Vicaut's stamina was also good, but they fell too far behind in the early stages and were unable to turn the tide.

Francis and Brown were nearing their physical limits; their arm swing amplitude began to decrease, and their stride frequency also declined.

At this point, whoever has the stronger willpower will gain the upper hand.

As the runners crossed the final 20-meter mark, the moment of crossing the finish line finally arrived.

Ashmead took the lead, leaning forward with his chest aligned with the finish line marker, a relaxed expression on his face, clearly indicating that he hadn't yet given it his all.

Vicourt, who was close behind, gritted his teeth and sprinted to the finish line.

Francis and Brown launched their attack on the finish line almost simultaneously, their bodies pressed tightly together.

They are evenly matched.

"Last 10 meters! Cross the finish line!"

Yang Jian's voice reached the peak of the competition.

At that moment, everyone watching the game turned their attention to the large electronic screen, and viewers in front of their televisions looked to the bottom right.

Everyone wants to know who ran the better race between the Chinese relay team and the Jamaican relay team in this race.

Even in the preliminary rounds, they still wanted to compete and see who was better.

Jamaica crosses the finish line!

“37秒31！37秒31！牙买加队以37秒31的成绩率先冲过终点线！拿下本组第一！！！”

At almost the same time, France's Jimmy Vicaut crossed the finish line, with a time of 37.88 seconds.

Miguel Francis of Antigua and Barbuda crossed the finish line in 38.01 seconds, beating Alan Brown of Canada, whose time was 38.03 seconds.

Hensley Pauliner of the Netherlands crossed the finish line in 38.41 seconds, finishing fifth in his group.

South Africa's Akani Sinbine crossed the finish line last, but his result was ruled as incomplete due to dropping the baton earlier in the race.

The stands at the Bird's Nest erupted in thunderous cheers.

Applause, shouts, and screams mingled together.

Cheers to this exciting speed showdown!

Of course, more importantly, it's because they didn't surpass the Chinese relay team's 37.20 seconds.

This is probably the more important factor behind the applause.

After crossing the finish line, the four Jamaican athletes hugged each other with relaxed smiles on their faces and waved to the audience.

There was no sign of exhaustion from giving it your all.

This further confirms their tactical arrangement of conserving their strength in the preliminary rounds.

As all the runners crossed the finish line, the electronic display screen beside the track instantly updated the final results for each group, clearly showing the audience the designated list and results:

1. Jamaica (JAM): Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell, Rashid Dwyer, Nicol Ashmead, time 37.31 seconds.

2. France (FRA): Emmanuel Biron, Christophe Lemaître, Guy-Elfée Anumann, Jimmy Vicaut, 37.88 seconds.

3. Antigua and Barbuda (ANT): Chavorn Walsh, Daniel Bailey, Jared Jarvis, Miguel Francis, time 38.01 seconds.

4. Canada (CAN): Justin Werner, André de Grasse, Brendon Rodney, Alan Brown, time 38.03 seconds.

5. Netherlands (NED): Solomon Bokari, Patrick van Lük, Limarvin Bonevacia, Hensley Paulina, 38.41 seconds.

……

South Africa (RSA): Henrique Brundjes, Anaso Chobodwana, Antonio Alcana, Akani Simbine, Result: Not Completed (DNF).

In the commentary booth, Yang Jian and Liu Xiang looked at the final results and began a comprehensive review of each team's slow-motion performance.

Every detail is closely aligned with the designated roster and results, leaving no team's performance unrecorded.

"First of all, congratulations to the Jamaican team for taking first place in their group with an outstanding time of 37.31 seconds!" Yang Jian's voice was full of praise. "Even with their two core players, Bolt and Blake, rested, the Jamaican team still demonstrated overwhelming strength. A preliminary time of 37.31 seconds would have been a medal contender in the finals of previous World Championships, which is enough to prove how terrifying their roster depth is. Nesta Carter's perfect start, Asafa Powell's exceptional mid-race performance, Rashid Dwyer's superb cornering skills, and Nikol Ashmid's stable sprint—the four athletes each performed their roles perfectly, cooperating seamlessly without any mistakes, delivering a flawless performance."

Liu Xiang then took over the conversation, providing an in-depth analysis of Jamaica's performance from a tactical and technical perspective: "Jamaica's victory stemmed not only from the individual strength of their players, but also from their mature tactical arrangements and superb teamwork. By resting their core players in the preliminaries and allowing the substitutes to take the field, they ensured their advancement while giving their key players ample rest to prepare for the finals. This demonstrates the wisdom and confidence of a strong team."

"Weak teams can't do that."

"From a technical point of view, their baton exchange technique is world-class. All three exchanges were excellent with little speed loss. It's completely different from their previous relays, as if they've been revitalized. I even feel it's better than in Moscow."

"This is the key to their ability to widen the gap. In addition, the athletes' rhythm control was also excellent. They did not experience any physical exhaustion throughout the race and maintained a stable speed, which is also an important reason why they were able to run 37.31 seconds."

Then, changing the subject, she began to talk about another team.

"The French team performed exceptionally well, with a time of 37.88 seconds, which was more than enough to secure their qualification. Emmanuel Billon had a stable start, Christophe Lemaître had a good pace during the race, Guy-Erfegé Anumann's cornering technique was also quite excellent, and Jimmy Vicaut's sprint demonstrated formidable strength. Although their baton exchange wasn't as smooth as the Jamaican team's, there were no mistakes, and their overall teamwork was excellent. They are strong contenders for medals in the men's 4x100m relay at this World Championships."

……

However, Su Shen and the others didn't listen to what was said after that, because even though the French team had achieved such excellent results, even better than the American team, it didn't catch their attention.

Their only opponent throughout the entire process was the Jamaican team.

Looking at the preliminary results, Su Shen murmured:
Is the jump of about 0.1 points because Powell is still in his prime?
If that's the case, Jamaica has a very good chance of surpassing Moscow.

It seems.

The new technologies for handover that everyone has been practicing hard over the past two years.

That was a wise move.

It's not a waste of time.

As for what this new technology is?
Everyone will know during the finals.

They didn't plan to use it during the preliminary rounds.

The purpose is to avoid repeating the bitter struggle that led to the defeat in Moscow.

Because this time it's at the Bird's Nest.

All we want is to win the game.

This is also a summary of my 10-year career restart.

absolute.

We must take it down.

Su Shen was looking at the big screen when it switched to the screen showing Bolt and Blake.

Then it just so happens to switch to my side again.

The director really knows what he's doing.

A split screen allows people from both countries to look at each other directly on a large screen.

All of a sudden.

The air smelled of gunpowder.

It boiled instantly.
