king of sprint

Chapter 115 The Last Match of 2004

The 400-meter final at Fengtian Station, the last stop of the Indoor Track and Field Invitational Tournament.

It should be regarded as the last game of the domestic sprint event in 2004.

Because today is December 12st.

After the first three races, the other contestants were a little tired, but on the last 400-meter straight of the 80-meter final, the coaches, athletes and other professional audiences saw a kind of gold and iron horse, The intense atmosphere of hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of impression is not an illusion, it is just a small number of ordinary spectators with no professional experience in Fengtian Station. At this moment, they can't help but stand up from their seats and stare at the two people who follow each other in the last straight.

So intense!

Always bite so tight.

There is only one or half a body difference in the whole process.

Sports reporters seldom see such a fierce sprint competition scene. It feels like a martial arts master is making a move. The move is dangerous, and often only one blow is needed to defeat the enemy, but this move is always defeated. The opponents resolved, and the unresolved atmosphere remained until the end.

"come on, come on, come on!"

They couldn't help but burst out cheering.

Almost everyone is shouting.

Not just cheering for someone, but purely fascinated by the charm of competitive sports.

The pursuit of never giving up, in this process, shows human beings' persistence and determination to be higher, faster and stronger. This is the most beautiful picture that can be seen in competitive sports.

Rousseau didn't have the energy to pay attention to the sound of cheering in his ears.

All his energy is on his will and body.

If it is said that every 400 meters is the greatest test of spirit, will and physical fitness.

So this time, 400, who is competing with Xiao Qiang, is to put his spirit and body in the furnace, burn himself, and release everything. At this moment, he can't hear anything except the end point in his eyes, and he can't hear anything except his own heartbeat in his ears. Can't hear anything either.

Beyond Beyond Beyond Beyond...

The fourth corner is about to pass.

It will be more difficult to pass into the straight section.

After Rousseau realized this, his body reacted one step ahead of his brain. He increased his stride frequency and took a step from the innermost path to the outermost path, and he was about to overtake.

……

Compared with the outdoor 400 meters, the indoor 400 meters curve overtaking is easier.

Because the indoor 400-meter curve has a slope.

This slope is because the number of meters per lap of the indoor 400 meters is relatively short. When the athletes pass through the curve, they are used to the speed of the outdoor rhythm, and it is easy for them to rush out of the runway. The final performance of the athletes in the 400-meter event also affects the viewing experience.

In order to resist centrifugal force, the IAAF stipulates that the runway of the gymnasium should have a slope of a little more than 10 degrees in the corner part, so that the pressure of high speed can be released by going uphill, so that athletes can run as much as they want.

Therefore, the acceleration brought by the 10-degree slope when going downhill became the key for Rousseau to surpass Xiao Qiang.

At this time, I was fighting for willpower, and a little slope under my feet was a great help.

When Xiao Qiang passed the final corner, he felt a flash of a figure behind him, and the pressure suddenly increased. Looking at Rousseau, he was already shoulder to shoulder with him on his right side.

……

"it is good!"

"Excellent!"

"The technical movement is flawless!"

"Pretty!"

There was a burst of applause in the stadium.

It doesn't matter if there are few audiences, as long as the audience's business ability is strong enough to boast to the point.

Just now, with the acceleration and overtaking of the cornering slope, the timing was really well grasped. Even in the video playback after the event, I felt that this moment was beyond reproach and could be used as a teaching material.

……

The final straight.

The two are shoulder to shoulder.

Now the will of both of them is a little blurred.

This time the 400-meter race was more intense than ever.

Formidable competitors bring an overload of pressure.

They didn't even have the energy to glance at each other now.

Even if the body and energy have reached the limit or even exceeded the limit.

But every fine hair is like a radar warning the existence of the other party:
You came.

I am coming.

The electric spark of the spirit is lost in the air.

Like the swords of masters clashing with each other.

Then, each showed their unique skills.

……

The moment Rousseau crossed the finish line.

The whole person is exhausted.

He has never experienced such an intense game.

But this feeling...

So cool!
boom.

Rousseau lay on the ground.

boom.

He heard another sound, and Xiao Qiang was also lying beside him.

The two looked at each other in confusion, found the focal length of their eyes, saw each other's appearance clearly, and then laughed together. The laughter didn't have much strength, but they were very happy.

……

The two coaches began to help the two athletes up, and they walked slowly in circles on the field. If they cannot rest immediately after intense exercise, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, and even cause serious symptoms such as shock. This is common sense, but the two athletes really I have no strength.

Rousseau heard applause as he passed other coaches, athletes and reporters, and someone whispered in his ear 'great game', 'evenly matched', 'nice win'.

win……?
Did I win?

Rousseau looked up at the electronic display.

I saw my name hanging high above the first place:
' Rousseau, 47 seconds 55
Xiao Qiang, 47 seconds
...'

47 seconds 55 ah.

Compared with the previous station's own score, it has improved by more than 1 second.

Even compared to the 'long' indoor runway of 400 meters, this improvement is not small.

The domestic best result of this event is 47 seconds.

Although Xiao Qiang lost, he gave Rousseau a thumbs up, "Let's compete in the 400-meter outdoor competition at the National Games!"

"See you at the National Games," Rousseau said.

……

So far, Rousseau's 2004 Indoor Track and Field Invitational Tournament has come to an end.

他累计获得了室内60米项目3个第一，室内200米项目4个第一，室内400米项目1个第一。

In the final Fengtian station, he won the 'Grand Slam' of the domestic indoor track and field sprint event!
Of course, compared to the Olympic champion, world champion and world record holder's "Grand Slam", this achievement may only be called a "Minor Grand Slam".

But a record is a record, and a result is a result. This unprecedented victory is enough for sports reporters to write about Rousseau's name.

However, Rousseau declined all interviews.

Once the game was over, he immediately took Lu Jinrong to a taxi and headed straight to the airport.

Because today is December 2004, 12.

It's the last day of 2004.

New Year.

Lu Xiaoyu is waiting for Lu Suo at home.

Lu Jinrong's family is also waiting for him to go back for a reunion.

So the game ended at 16:30 in the afternoon.

I got on the plane at 18:[-].

Arrive at Pengcheng Airport at 22:[-].

At 23 o'clock Rousseau opened the door.

The other side of the door is not like Lu Xiaoyu imagined by Rousseau to be alone.

It was a full table of banquets. Juno, Tian Shiwei, Zheng Ni and Lu Xiaoyu were sitting at the table. When they saw Rousseau come back, all of them smiled happily at Rousseau.

The scene was as beautiful as a dream.
