The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2550 This is the Technological Revolution

The sound waves from the entire Bird's Nest were compressed to their maximum at that moment.

Eight figures simultaneously rushed towards their respective handover zones.

The second runner's body was stretched into a taut straight line by the speed.

The third runner was like a spring ready to be released in the pre-run zone, his eyes fixed on the torso of his teammate behind him.

Breath was forcibly suppressed in the chest cavity, waiting for that touch in a fraction of a second.

This is not a simple baton pass; it is the heart of the relay race.

If the baton isn't handed over properly, it's like the heart stopping.

After all, we don't have the advantage in terms of raw strength for the next two legs.

In this situation, the handover must be done properly.

It must have advantages.

And let's not forget that the border area with Jamaica has also been quite well-managed by Mills in the past two years.

It's no longer the messy Jamaican team that was handed over before.

In other words, even against a Jamaican team whose handover techniques have been honed by Mills, they still need to have an advantage in the handover.

In lane four, in the Chinese team's exchange zone, the second runner, Zhang Peimeng, had pushed his speed to the limit. He was almost flying close to the ground, with his upper body slightly leaning forward and his arm swings compressed to the most suitable angle for the exchange.

His gaze wasn't fixed ahead, but rather fixed on the position of the third batter, Su Shen.

He was calculating the distance, the rhythm, and the angle and force at which the baton should be "pushed" into Su Shen's damned palm.

Su Shen stood at the starting point of the pre-run zone, his body already beginning to accelerate in small steps.

He didn't turn around, but used only his peripheral vision and his sense of space to capture the speed at which Zhang Peimeng was approaching.

His right hand is outstretched behind him, palm facing up, fingers naturally spread, forming a stable "receiving groove".

This is the most crucial stance in the forward-pushing handover:
It's not about waiting for the baton, it's about welcoming it.

It's not catching, it's seizing.

It's not passive, it's active engagement!

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Zhang Peimeng's footsteps grew heavier and more frequent.

His left arm swung forward.

He held the baton firmly in his palm, the tip of the baton slightly raised.

The angle was precisely aimed at Su Shen's outstretched palm.

He did not slow down, did not hesitate, and did not make any unnecessary movements.

The essence of forward-pushing handover.

It means not sacrificing speed.

Don't waste inertia.

Use the forward momentum of the body.

Send the baton in.

It's in my teammate's hands.

Just as Zhang Peimeng's torso was parallel to Su Shen's torso, his right hand suddenly thrust forward.

The baton is like a bullet that has been precisely fired.

Following the inertia...

It crashed directly into Su Shen's outstretched palm.

"catch!!!"

Zhang Peimeng roared loudly.

The voice was strong and powerful.

You can tell he gave it his all with that strike.

Su Shen's fingers closed instantly.

The five fingers locked the stick.

There wasn't a single tremor.

There was not the slightest deviation.

Without the slightest delay.

Walk!!!
It's done!!!
And in that instant when the touch was completed in a fraction of a second.

The entire landscape of the track has been completely rewritten.

Just a second ago, the Chinese team was in third place, behind Jamaica and the United States.

The next second, the baton was steadily "pushed" into Su Shen's hands.

Su Shen's body had already benefited from the low-loss inertia brought about by the forward-pushing handover.

It was launched directly from the pre-launch zone.

The first step on the curve...

It accelerates with explosive force.

Bang bang bang.

He had no starting delay, no speed loss, and his whole body seemed to be carried away by a relay baton.

Bang bang bang.

And just as he rushed out of the transition zone and stepped onto the curve, his body had already been forcibly pulled from the lagging position.

They surged straight to... first place in the entire arena.

One body length.

Two body lengths.

Three body lengths.

Four body lengths.

With each step he takes, his lead grows larger.

He fully capitalized on the speed advantage brought by the forward-pushing handover on the curves.

Directly suppress Jamaica!!!
"OK!!!"

"We're in the lead!!!"

"The handover between Su Shen and Zhang Peimeng was fantastic!!!"

"Teleport to Jamaica!!!"

Yang Jian was absolutely telling the truth.

Because it looks like it's teleporting on screen.

This is truly incredible.

The audience at the Bird's Nest didn't even have time to react; they only saw the red figure in the fourth lane "flash" in the handover area.

When he reappeared, he was already the one at the very front of the field.

This isn't overtaking, this is teleportation.

Meanwhile, in the fifth lane, in the Jamaican team's handover zone, Blake passed the baton to Bolt.

This……

Does this mean we're falling behind?

Damn it!!!

Blake's speed remains ferocious, but his pass is a more traditional "downward press," requiring Bolt to reach out and grab it, which results in a significant loss of speed.

Of course, this is in comparison to the Chinese team.

Blake was a little anxious, as the weighbridge was slightly off-center, but fortunately... Bolt had big hands.

It has enough power.

Bolt quickly corrected the slight mistake in the handover.

But his start was half a beat slower than Su Shen's.

No.

It's not that he's slow.

The Chinese team's forward pass was too fast, too smooth, and too powerful!
Gatling's baton pass was perfectly accurate.

Guy's relay pass was also without any obvious mistakes.

The moment his fingertips gripped the baton, he pushed off the ground with all his might. But when he stepped onto the curve, he was already several meters behind Suarez and nearly a meter behind Bolt.

This……

Guy was also somewhat incredulous.

He clearly felt that the two runners ahead of him weren't far behind.

How come I fell so far behind when I started running?
He could clearly feel that his start was more than a beat slower than Su Shen's. It wasn't that he wasn't fast enough, but rather that the downward pressure of the handover was inferior to theirs...

It is full of disadvantages.

This disadvantage caused him to lose the initiative the moment the handover took place.

He tried to accelerate immediately, leaning his body into the curve, swinging his arms to the maximum, giving it his all with every step, but... Su Shen and Bolt's cornering skills were already top-notch.

In addition to the speed advantage brought by the former's forward-pushing handover, Guy's pursuit not only failed to narrow the gap, but he was left further and further behind.

Yes, Guy is also a cornering expert, but unfortunately, he's getting old now.

Of course, he believes that even at his peak, he still holds this view.

Work with these two people.

It has no advantages whatsoever.

Therefore, such a powerful American record holder.

Surprisingly, we're in a situation where we can't narrow the gap.

Then look at the fourth runner, Su Shen. He held the baton and ran more and more smoothly on the curve, getting faster and faster.

The low-energy inertia brought about by the forward-pushing handover allows his speed to always be maintained at the highest level.

The angle of body tilt, the control of the center of gravity, the swing of the arms—every detail is textbook-perfect.

He didn't deliberately exert himself; he simply took advantage of the speed advantage brought by the handover and steadily maintained his lead, keeping his eyes fixed on the bend ahead.

Entering the bend.

accelerate.

Running along the way.

"We've taken the lead!!!"

The roar of the Bird's Nest exploded at that moment.

The roar of 80,000 spectators swept across the stadium like a tsunami.

Everyone understood.

This was not a chance lead; it was a perfect game-winning shot executed by the Chinese team using the most advanced forward-pushing handoff technique.

The advantages of the forward-pushing handover were fully demonstrated at this moment.

It eliminates the speed loss of traditional handover, directly converting the sprint inertia of the second runner into the cornering acceleration power of the third runner, achieving low delay and low loss in the handover process.

Through the technical design of proactive baton reception and precise baton push, the moment of handover becomes an opportunity for acceleration rather than a point of deceleration.

This technique allowed the Chinese team to overtake Jamaica directly in the handover zone, despite not having an advantage in absolute speed, thanks to their superior technique!

From trailing to leading, from catching up to taking the lead... it only took a fraction of a second to rewrite the course of the entire game.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Every step Su Shen took on the curves resonated with the audience's heartbeats and fueled the despair of his opponents.

The lead he gained from the forward-pushing handover gave him enough confidence to go head-to-head with Bolt, the king of corners.

This gives him enough space to stabilize his rhythm and lay the foundation for victory in the final sprint.

He could clearly feel the warmth of the baton in his palm.

The screams of the audience could be heard clearly.

You can clearly see Bolt and Guy chasing behind you.

Su Shen showed no panic, displaying the confidence that came with the forward-pushing handover.

This time, the Chinese team will not repeat the mistakes of 08.

This time, the championship at the Bird's Nest belongs to China.

In the stands of the Bird's Nest, in the area where the US team's coaching staff was located, the air seemed to be instantly sucked out the moment the Chinese team completed the handover.

The US team's technical director, sprint coach, and biomechanics analysis team all had their eyes glued to the screen in the fourth lane handover area.

His expression shifted from focused to bewildered.

Then came disbelief, and then solidification.

What kind of handover method is that?
Finally, some people started to realize that something was wrong.

This handover method is truly bizarre.

This isn't how a handover should be done! What kind of handover is this? I've never seen anything like it before.

It's neither an upward lift, nor a downward press, nor a standing stick.

So what kind of handover method is this?
Why do these professionals never have such a model, such a concept, or such understanding in their minds?

Can't you even find a single relevant piece of information?

This is nothing short of a blow to a professional who has been immersed in this industry for so many years.

They were nearly knocked unconscious and completely disoriented. The technical consultant, Amelika, even leaned forward abruptly, her fingers almost piercing her eyelids, her voice barely audible, yet filled with barely suppressed shock.

He has coached American sprinters for decades and has seen various handoff techniques, including the downward pressure, upward lifting, synchronized, and even some less common modified techniques...

But I have never seen such a bizarre, efficient, and "violent" way of transmission.

That's just how I feel.

This red team.

They were neither 'passing' nor 'receiving'.

They were...

Is it... being pushed?!
Yes, that's right, it's pushing, it's definitely moving!

I can't possibly be wrong!

The biomechanics expert next to him stared intently at the screen, his voice trembling: "The second runner didn't slow down, and the third runner didn't wait. The baton was directly 'sent' into the palm of the third runner by the forward momentum of the second runner."

Yes.

They are all professionals. The first runner just sensed something was wrong, and then it was time for the handover.

Suddenly I realized something was wrong.

Because of Su Shen, he surpassed the Jamaican team in an instant.

This is completely unreasonable.

The entire process involved no downward pressure, no upward lifting, and no unnecessary movements.

There is almost no loss of speed.

This is not any standard handover model in their understanding.

This is a completely new, forward-pushing handover designed entirely for maximizing speed.

The American team's coaches exchanged glances, each with the same thought in their eyes—

Never seen.

No one has ever seen it.

They studied Jamaica, Canada, France, Britain, Japan... they studied the passing techniques of all the world's top teams.

However, I have never seen this handover pattern of the Chinese team in any team, any game, or any document.

Unlike the downward-pressing type, it doesn't require reaching down and lose its starting rhythm.

Unlike the upward flick, which requires lifting the stick upwards and wastes forward momentum, making it prone to errors.

It's not as stable as the upright stick style, but it doesn't have any distinctive features.

It completely violated the traditional handover logic of "stability first, speed later" and went directly to the extreme route of "no deceleration throughout the process, no loss throughout the process, and violent connection throughout the process".

They even made use of inertia.

Moreover, it is utilized on a large scale.

"Their third runner was almost 'bumped' out by the second runner," a sprint coach muttered to himself.

It felt as if my mind and spirit had been dealt a heavy blow.

That's normal for him to do that, because in a normal baton exchange, the third runner always pauses slightly for half a beat before accelerating.

And it's a curve, isn't it?

It's even harder than a straight road intersection.

But for the Chinese team's Su Shen, the moment he received the baton was the starting point of his acceleration, without any delay or buffer.

This kind of efficiency in connection... has never appeared in Amelica's model.

Not only is it not in their model library, it's not in any model library in the world.

Nothing similar has ever happened.

If you insist on saying so, this model currently only exists in the Su Shen Speed Laboratory on Ersha Island.

"That's impossible," someone whispered. "It doesn't conform to mechanics, nor does it fit the human body's reaction time."

But no one responded to him.

Because reality is right in front of you, nothing you say will make a difference.

Reality is reality, and it possesses an overwhelming power.

Words are powerless in the face of reality.

After all, the scene before your eyes won't lie to you.

The Chinese team, which was behind just a second ago, surged into first place the instant the handover was completed.

One body length, two body lengths, three body lengths... the advantage expands like an inflating balloon.

The American coaching staff's expressions grew increasingly somber, evolving from initial surprise to gravity, and then to a bewilderment stemming from a complete shattering of their understanding.

Their prized handover system appears outdated, cumbersome, and inefficient in the face of the Chinese team's entirely new model.

It could even be described as utterly ridiculous.

Meanwhile, on the Jamaican coaching bench.

Glenn Mills, the godfather of Jamaican sprinting and the creator of Bolt and Blake, is standing by the railing, his hands gripping the metal frame, his knuckles white from the effort.

His gaze wasn't on Bolt, nor on Blake, but fixed intently on the handover between the Chinese team in lane four, and for the first time, a look appeared on his face that didn't belong to him...

A near-out-of-control astonishment.

He had witnessed too many handovers and knew all too well the advantages and disadvantages of each type. The downward pressure type was stable, the upward lifting type was fast, and the upright type was mediocre and lacked any distinctive features.

There is absolutely no such situation.

The visual presentation of this kind of handover can only be described as violent.

Mills had no other way to describe it. He didn't even have the words to describe what was happening before his eyes.

He boasted that while he couldn't say he knew everything about track and field, he could at least say he had some knowledge of it.

But the handover of the Chinese team made him feel for the first time...

strangeness.

“What is that?” Mills turned to Francis beside him, his voice trembling slightly. “I’ve never seen this kind of delivery before.”

Francis, despite not being selected as the head coach of the Jamaican relay team, still looked serious with the national team on the horizon: "It's not an upward thrust, it's not a downward press, it's... a forward push."

"The second runner actively pushes forward, and the third runner actively receives the baton from behind. The entire movement is completed on the same horizontal line, without any vertical displacement or unnecessary movements, and is entirely based on the transmission of inertia."

"But is that even possible?"

Even Francis, who said those words, was somewhat insecure.

Is this really something that anyone could do?

This mode... is theoretically the most efficient, but it is also the most difficult, requiring almost impossibly high levels of coordination, timing, hand position, and angle.

How could there possibly be such a handover method?
"I have been teaching for decades."

Mills spoke slowly, his gaze still fixed on the screen: "I've studied all the top relay teams in the world, from the United States to the Caribbean, from Europe to Asia, and there has never been a single team that has used this forward-pushing exchange."

"This is not an improvement, this is an original creation."

In a normal handover, while others pursue 'stability,' they pursue 'ruthlessness.'

Others strive to avoid making mistakes; they strive to avoid slowing down.

They're treating the handover area as an acceleration zone.

It's not a buffer.

Mills closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes held a mixture of awe and frustration.

He single-handedly built Jamaica's lightning relay team, believing himself to be invincible.

But at that moment, he was defeated by an Asian team using a technique he had never seen before.

It directly attacked his most confident point.

That's right, it's Mills now.

Even he, Mills, was no longer absolutely confident.

Including the media section and technical observation area of the Bird's Nest, a professional commentary team composed of several senior American track and field commentators and former Olympic sprinters collectively fell into a brief state of speechlessness the moment the Chinese team completed the handover.

The smooth English commentary came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the fourth track's screen, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Wait, what was that handover just now?" A former member of the US relay team leaned forward abruptly, his finger almost poking at the screen, his voice filled with barely suppressed astonishment.

"I've watched sprinting for twenty years and I've never seen this kind of passing method before."

The senior track and field analyst next to him also looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy: "It's not a downward press, not an upward flick, and not any of the standard handovers we're familiar with."

"The second runner did not slow down, the third runner did not pause, and the baton was pushed directly forward into the palm of the hand."

"The entire process is completed on the same horizontal line, without any up or down movement, without any speed loss, and without any delay."

"How...how is this possible?"

"This is a completely new handover model."

He took a deep breath, his tone filled with bewilderment after the upheaval: "I can say with certainty that there is no record in the IAAF's technical database or in our USA Track & Field research archives that anyone has ever used this kind of forward handover."

"It completely violates the traditional handover logic of 'stability first, speed later'; it turns the handover zone into an acceleration zone."

Traditional handshakes, whether pressing down or lifting up, involve a process of "reaching out—grabbing the stick—retracting the arm—starting," which inevitably involves a slight decrease in speed.

The Chinese team's forward-pushing baton exchange involves the second runner actively pushing the baton and the third runner actively receiving it, with the baton being passed horizontally, resulting in almost no loss of kinetic energy transfer.

The baton is passed and the car accelerates; the handover is the overtaking maneuver.

This is not a technological improvement; this is a technological revolution.

A European biomechanics expert muttered to himself.

“In our model, the speed in the transition zone must decrease, while their speed is almost flat, or even increasing.”

"I have never seen or imagined that a handover could be completed in this way."

The moment Zhang Peimeng thrust the baton into Su Bingtian's palm, almost everyone on the Chinese team's coaching bench simultaneously bounced in place.

Coach Yuan Guoqiang's hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white, his eyes were fixed on the fourth lane junction, and his mouth was open but no sound came out.

He was frozen in place.

He knew all too well how long he had practiced and how many times he had refined this forward-pushing exchange, but he actually executed it perfectly in the finals of a world championship, against Jamaica and the United States.

And in an instant, they went from being behind to being in first place.

He himself couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"It's done!"

Yu Weili, standing nearby, finally let out a low growl, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Forward push...it's done! There's not a drop in speed at all!"

Another strength and conditioning coach slammed his fist on the railing, his eyes instantly welling up with tears: "That's it! That's the rhythm! They've absorbed all the momentum!"

"They charged forward without a moment's hesitation!"

The team doctor, physiotherapist, and staff all crowded to the front, staring intently at the track. No one spoke; only heavy breathing could be heard.

To the average viewer, it might just appear to be a routine handover.

Can--

In the eyes of these people.

What they saw was not a simple handover.

It was the result of countless hours of practice and refinement in the training hall.

Countless times I fell and started over.

It has been questioned countless times as being "too risky and too radical".

Finally, in those crucial fractions of a second at the Bird's Nest.

It produced the most terrifying effect.

Su Shen took the lead as soon as he rushed out of the handover zone.

One body length, two body lengths, three body lengths...

The Chinese team's coaching staff completely lost their composure.
