Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 262 Farewell to the legendary Justin Gatlin! 【For subscription】

Eugene Hayward Stadium, behind the [-]-meter starting line, eight contestants lined up in sequence.

Road 1, Ben Yusuf Meite, from Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, an 86-year veteran.Although his strength and reputation are not comparable to those of Sibney, Van Niekerk and others who are also Africans, he is also a famous player in Africa.His personal best time is 9 seconds. He is often active in major diamond leagues and grand prix competitions. He won the men's 96-meter champion in the 2015 African Games.

No. 2, Reece Prescod, from England, was born in September 96, the same age as Wu Ziyi.Prescord is Wu Ziyi's impression of the "back-end teleportation monster", an extreme back-end player, but his current strength has not yet fully evolved, and the 9-meter has not yet broken through 10 seconds.He competed with Wu Ziyi and others in the Magic City Diamond League two weeks ago, and ran 0.5 seconds in the -10m/s rainy night. Compared with this year's 02-second mark, he can no longer stop him.

The third way, Su Bingtian.Su Bingtian's state in 3 was relatively mediocre, but this year's state is bursting. He defeated the world record holder Coleman in the indoor world championships, and he beat 17 seconds in the first outdoor 100-meter race.Wu Ziyi believes that as long as he can maintain this state, he may not stop at 9 seconds this year, but has a good chance of breaking through the 99 mark.

Channel 4, Christian Coleman.This year is the year when Coleman reached the peak. Although Su Bingtian, who was in full form, gave him a lore in the Indoor World Championships, it must have had little effect on his [-]-meter strength.Wu Ziyi hopes that under the stimulation of Su Bingtian and himself, he can stimulate more potential, so that next year's Doha World Championships will be more exciting.

Lane 5, Ronnie Baker.Although the popular players in the country are not as popular as Coleman and Lyles, their strength should not be underestimated.

The sixth way is Wu Ziyi himself.

The 7th track, Jikindu Uja, English player, this is a guy who was recorded by Su Bingtian in his small notebook. His honor is not high and his PB is not high, but his heart is quite proud.

No. 8, Isaiah Young, Gatlin's younger brother.It is a first-class player in China, but due to the fierce domestic competition, it is difficult to get the opportunity to participate in world competitions. The only honor that can be won is the 13-meter championship in the US Championships in 200.

This is Wu Ziyi's fourth time stepping on the runway of Heyward Stadium. I still remember that when he participated in the World Youth Championships here in the past 4 years, the audience at that time were very surprised by Wu Ziyi's skin color and performance. After all, among a group of black people, one was wearing a red jersey The Chinese are too eye-catching.

但如今北美的观众似乎早就习惯了，14年他们见证了吴子义夺取世青赛双冠，15年他们见证了苏炳天在此第二次跑进10秒，16、17年他们见证了吴子义连续两年霸占尤金站男子100米的冠军宝座。

Three words - numb.

“On your marks~”

"Wu Ziyi come on!" Outside the fence on the right side of the starting line, a Chinese girl who looked like an international student waved a small five-star red flag to cheer for Wu Ziyi.Surrounded by several girls, both white and black, they all cast winking eyes when Wu Ziyi looked at her.

Wu Ziyi showed them a small heart, then smiled and put his index finger on his lips, signaling them to be quiet, and then walked to the starting line with ease.

Squat down, step on the starting block with both feet, and constantly adjust the position of the soles of the feet on the starting block, trying to find a most comfortable point.

Looking up at the finish line [-] meters away, Wu Ziyi quickly adjusted his mentality, and his eyes became sharper in an instant.Relaxation is a good thing, but you always have to put some pressure on yourself in a competitive game, and let your body feel a sense of oppression, so that you can concentrate more on controlling every detail in the game.

"Set—"

"boom--!!"

The gunshots sounded and the game began!
The reactions of the eight players were different. The fastest starting reaction was Coleman's 4 seconds in the fourth track. It seems that he was not affected by Su Bingtian beside him, but turned the failure of the indoor race into motivation.Compared to Coleman, Su Bingtian did not perform well this time, and his starting reaction was only 0.124 seconds, ranking last among all players.

Wu Ziyi's starting reaction is not too fast, but it is second only to Coleman and Isaiah Young, with 0.136 seconds.

A person with a fast starting reaction may not have a good future, just like Zhang Peimeng who used to be able to run a starting reaction of around 0.120-0.130 from time to time, but his future is still weak.

But for a promising player like Su Bingtian, a lag of 0.04 seconds is likely to cause him to fall behind in the whole rhythm.

In an instant, all eight runners kicked off the starting block, started running quickly, and entered the acceleration running stage in an instant.The audience in the arena also started to cheer and shout following the gunshot and the explosion of the players.

Ten meters, the gap between the players on the field is not too big, but the gap of 20 meters and 30 meters after that is undoubtedly revealed.

Coleman's start this time was very beautiful. His first starting reaction and smooth connection acceleration allowed him to rank first among all the players at 30 meters.

Although Isaac Yang's starting reaction ranks second, his acceleration in the future is not as good as that of several masters in the same field. He is currently in the third echelon with Su Bingtian.

In the second echelon are Ronnie Baker and Wu Ziyi, who are half a position behind Coleman for the time being.

Once the 30 meters pass, it means that the high-speed stage of running on the way is coming, and it also means that the situation on the field may change.

Coleman's state this year is indeed very strong, and he is an extremely promising type. It is normal for Wu Ziyi to be weaker than him in the first 30 meters, but the situation is completely different after 30 meters.

Like Wu Ziyi, Ronnie Baker is also trying his best to mobilize his body and start to use his running skills on the way. His future ability cannot compete with Coleman, but after reaching the extreme speed state, he has a chance to overtake. He was sure of one thing.

Su Bingtian is also working hard to adjust his rhythm. He expected to be suppressed by Coleman in the future. Although he won the indoor competition, no one can guarantee that he can play his best every game level, what he has to do now is to show the training results during the winter training.

If you don't look at the data, most people may think that the biggest improvement of Su Bingtian's winter training is his future ability. After all, he is the one who won the indoor world championship.But in fact, the biggest effect of the training plans made by Randy for Su Bingtian is to allow Su Bingtian to stabilize his back-end ability, starting from changing the starting foot, changing his stride length from 47 to 48 steps, various equipment The ultimate goal of the training method is to enable Su Bingtian to create a better back-end rhythm.

Since this start is not done well, then use this opportunity to test your future!
The competition was going on fiercely, Su Bingtian tried his best to control his body, tried his best to control the rhythm, and tried his best not to be disturbed by Coleman.

And Wu Ziyi, who was separated by two tracks, started his performance.

40 meters, 50 meters.
When Su Bingtian was still trying to control the rhythm, when Ronnie Baker was looking forward to the speedy state to overtake Coleman, Wu Ziyi had already surpassed the first place with a big stride!
"Coleman's start was very beautiful, leading the first 30 meters, but Uzi did not give him a chance to continue to lead, 50 meters, ruthlessly surpassed!"

Following the on-site host's explanation, the audience on both sides of the Hayward Stadium exclaimed. It was still the familiar taste, the familiar mid-section surpassing, and Wu Ziyi, who was still slightly behind at 30 meters, stood out instantly and beat Cole. Man goes above and beyond.

The 100-meter race is not a middle-distance race. There are situations of overtaking, anti-overtaking, and overtaking again. The distance of [-] meters is fleeting. If there is a strain or other situation in the type player, otherwise it must be hopeless.

60 meters, 70 meters.
The situation on the field has changed again. Wu Ziyi, who has entered the extreme speed state, is continuously widening the gap with other players. At this time, he has already led the second echelon by two positions. In the last 30 meters, this gap Maybe even bigger.

Ronnie Baker finally matched Coleman. He was taller than Coleman, but his stride was actually smaller than Coleman.Since both of them started with their left feet, their movements were almost the same in the first 70 meters, stepping their legs and swinging their arms at the same time, but after 60 meters, Ronnie Baker's stride frequency was obviously faster than that of Coleman. Be quicker than that.

Su Bingtian's rhythm is well controlled. Although he started at a disadvantage this time, he did not lag behind Coleman from 30 meters to 70 meters, and still maintained the gap of about half. At this moment, he is still ahead of Isaiah-Yang and Pu Rescord.

80 meters, 90 meters.
"The red lightning is galloping on the field, no one can catch him! Coleman, overtaken by Ronnie Baker! The final sprint, let's see the final result, 9-seconds-7-2- !!!”

9.72!

When Wu Ziyi crossed the finish line and saw this set of numbers, his first reaction was unbelievable. If this number is the final result, then he will directly surpass Justin Gatlin in the ranking of personal best results and catch up with Asafa Powell In the 2008 Lausanne Grand Prix, he ran 9 seconds, tied for fourth in history!
Wu Ziyi ran for a certain distance and then stopped. He did not go around the field to celebrate or anything. The wind speed is the most unstable factor in Eugene. If this shot exceeds the wind speed of 2.0m/s, then the record of 9 seconds 72 is invalid.

"Hoo--, ho--, ho--." Wu Ziyi propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the big screen standing high on the sidelines, not daring to move for a moment open.

Su Bingtian also came over, patted Wu Ziyi's back lightly, and looked up at the big screen.

It was the time when the sun was shining brightly, but all the players and spectators in the arena were all looking at the same place, and everyone was waiting for the final result.

Is the timer a little joke, or witness a new legendary moment?

After a while, the big screen finally refreshed the final score, and the on-site host excitedly informed the audience:

"9 seconds 73! A new race record is born! Ladies and gentlemen, please give your warmest applause to Uzi from China!!"

Wind speed: (+1.6m/s)

1 Wu Ziyi 9.73 AR/WL/MR
2 Ronnie Baker 9.83 PB
3 Christian Coleman 9.87 SB
4 Reece Prescod 9.91 PB
5 Su Bingtian 9.93 SB
"Ah——!" The moment Wu Ziyi saw the result, he quickly roared to the sky, hugged Su Bingtian forcefully, and then quickly went to the sidelines to receive a five-star red flag and began to celebrate.

In Yanjing, the capital of China, in the live broadcast room of CCTV Sports Channel, although it was late at night, Yang Jian still insisted on doing live commentary for domestic audiences.

"9 seconds 73, effective score! Farewell to the legendary Justin Gatlin, Wu Ziyi has surpassed you! 4 years ago, at the same stadium named Hayward, Wu Ziyi won two World Youth Championships for China Gold medal. Today, Wu Ziyi made history again, with 9 seconds 73, Wu Ziyi surpassed Justin Gatlin’s 15 seconds 9 created in the Doha Diamond League in 74, and officially ranked No.5 in the history of the [-]-meter personal best!”
