Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 218 Opens the door to the Hall of Honor!

"Se——"

"Snapped--!"

"Game start! 』

Chang Ju was in the commentary box of the land arena. While his eyes were fixed on the broadcast screen, a crisp starting gun sounded clearly from the earphones, and Yang Jian instantly entered the commentary state.

The eight runners on the starting line quickly kicked off the starting block the moment the gun sounded, and the men's 100-meter semi-finals kicked off!

This time at the starting stage, Wen Hao was in 100% condition.

Although there are three places in a group that directly advance to the finals, and no one except Tyson Gay can compete with him for the first place in the group, but on the stage of the semi-finals, nothing can be lost!

The same is true for Tyson Gay on the road. Although the 2007 season has been going on until now, he has only run a PB-tying 9 seconds at the US Championships under legal wind speeds.

But in fact, his technical ability has been greatly improved compared to last year, and it is mainly focused on the ability to start and accelerate in the first 30 meters.

But even so, Tyson Gay's ability in this aspect is still slightly inferior to Wen Hao.

Technical abilities can be improved, but technical characteristics are not so easy to change, especially when Tyson Gay's "mentor" Lance Browman was sentenced to prison for embezzling public funds last year. Since then, his training plan has changed Suffering certain obstacles, Tyson Gay was unable to make greater progress in the 2007 season to a certain extent.

Tyson Gay's technical characteristics are very special. When he touches the ground at the starting stage, only the inside of his forefoot touches the ground. This action deliberately reduces the time of contact between the sole of the foot and the ground, but his back swing leg does not deliberately fold to reduce the impact on the ground. Time loss during the airborne phase.

The back-pedaling technique has a greater proportion, the range of motion seems larger, and the body exhibits a pendulum-like movement characteristic.

On the other hand, Wen Hao's starting technique is based on Asafa Powell's "explosive start" and combined with his own characteristics. He slightly restrains the back kick while focusing on increasing the involvement of the front knee.

At the level of top athletes, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad technologies, but if different technologies are used by different athletes, they will definitely differentiate themselves from each other.

At least as far as the starting acceleration phase is concerned, Tyson Gay's technical ability is obviously still a little behind.

Of course, this "worse" is also compared to top players like Wen Hao and Powell.

In the first 30 meters, except for Wen Hao who was able to suppress Tyson Gay, other promising players including Fasuba and Mark Lewis could only keep pace with him.

As for after 30 meters, as the technology gradually completed the transition and entered the high-speed stage of running on the way, Tyson Gay quickly left the other players behind while closely following Wen Hao's footsteps.

30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters.
The situation on the field was exactly what most viewers expected.

World record holder Wen Hao took the lead, followed closely by U.S. champion Tyson Gay. The outsider British master Mark Lewis and African record holder Fasouba were inextricably linked. The Netherlands Antilles was relatively in the middle. Player Maldina is relatively lagging behind.

What made the Neon audience unsatisfied was that Nobuharu Asahara, who had performed well in the preliminaries and semi-finals, was clearly at the back of the team.

Although I know that the hope of advancing to the finals is extremely slim, seeing this scene at this time will make people feel uncomfortable after all.

Look at Wen Hao, the flower grower next to him. Why is there such a big gap?
In fact, they misunderstood. If Asahara Nobuharu really played his best, although it would still be difficult to reach the finals, he would not be in such a backward situation in the first half.

It's just because he is self-aware, and the head coach Ito Koji gave him and Tsukahara Naoki an order - since there is no chance of reaching the finals, then simply don't run with all your strength.

It's not to save energy. After all, there are still several days left before the relay preliminaries. By then, the energy will have been recovered.

The reason for "giving up" the semi-finals was simply to avoid injuries. The relay event is their top priority in this World Championships.

In fact, if possible, the only way to completely avoid injury is to retire from the competition, but doing so will definitely result in the Neon people spraying you with hate. Therefore, you still have to participate in the competition, but it is impossible to fight hard, and successfully completing the competition will be useless. Nothing wrong with it.

After half the race, on the red track of the land arena, the players on the field were at top speed.

At this time, Wen Hao still occupies the leading position with a clear advantage. His upper body is almost straight, and his legs are stretched out quickly and powerfully, giving the impression that there is a chair under his butt. He just kept raising his legs on the spot, but he was able to burst out with a shocking running speed.

In comparison, Tyson Gay's movements look much more "normal". During the running process, his body swings left and right like a pendulum, and his running path also fluctuates left and right, unlike Wen Hao, who is more straight.

It's just that Tyson Gay is not very good at controlling facial expressions. Although he is not 100% effective at this stage, his facial expressions still look a little tight.

Probably because of his technical characteristics, he needs to compensate through facial muscles more than Wen Hao. On the surface, Wen Hao's movements seem to be more relaxed and smooth, but in fact Tyson Gay is also very relaxed.

With the arrival of the top speed zone, the situation on the field became more and more anxious, but even if the other six players tried their best, the gap between them and Wen Hao and Tyson Gay could never be narrowed.

But the good news is that because the two leaders finally chose to conserve their energy, the gap did not continue to widen.

Under such a situation, as long as you can keep running closely with the two of them and maintain the rhythm, the final result will not be too bad!
Just like Martina in lane 6.

他的个人最佳10秒04创造于去年的NCAA联赛时期，当时的比赛风速达到了+1.9m/s，实际硬实力其实是在10秒10开外的。

This year, his strength has improved a lot. The best of the season was 10.06 (+0.1m/s) in the semifinals of the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Based on the improvement of his personal ability, Maldina also has fantasies about this year's Osaka World Championships, but he also knows how difficult it is to win a medal, and for him at the moment, entering the finals is the most important thing!
Unlike Fasuba and Mark Lewis, who have excellent prospects, Maldina's forward ability is relatively poor, but his mid-range running ability and late-range speed are very good.

After half the race, with the arrival of top speed, he quickly recovered the previous gap and even completely surpassed the African record holder Fasuba at the 70-meter position!

But despite this, when he set his sights on Wen Hao and Tyson Gay, who were always in the lead, he could still feel a pressure that could make him feel helpless.

At least so far, he believes that he has played the best form in his career, but he still cannot catch up with the two in front.

Martina clearly saw that Wenhao turned his head to the right at the 50-meter position, and Tyson Gay also turned to the right at the 70-meter position.

The meaning is actually very obvious. What Wen Hao cares about is Tyson Gay's position, and Tyson Gay knows that this game does not require all-out efforts, so there is no need to care whether Wen Hao is leading, as long as he is careful not to be It’s okay for others to pass.

In their eyes, the ticket that leads directly to the finals is as simple as picking something out of a bag!
70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters.
With the last 10 meters left, the finish line is in sight!
After this shot, Wen Hao still had reservations, but he was not too vague from beginning to end. From the halfway point, he continued to observe the positions of his opponents to determine whether he needed to accelerate twice to maintain his advantage.

But he was obviously overly worried. After all, among the eight players on the field, except for Fasuba who once ran 9 seconds, the other players' PBs were all outside 85 seconds.

Moreover, Fasuba is also a player who relies more on his future performance. He is somewhat similar to Su Bingtian in his peak period. When his future performance is erratic, it is not easy for him to break 10 seconds.

As for Tyson Gay, the only threat to him, he was very smart and did not show any desire to compete for the top spot in the group.

After all, if you don't save your energy in the semifinals, wouldn't it be a waste of money for Asafa Powell in the other group?

Wen Hao and Tyson Gay coincidentally relaxed their arm swings, and with a more relaxed body posture, relying on the speed maintained by inertial potential energy, they successively crossed the finish line.

When Wen Hao crossed the finish line first, the cheers and shouts at the scene were still enthusiastic. The timing monitors and large screens installed at the scene quickly displayed his crossing score-9 seconds 92.

Tyson Gay followed Wen Hao's footsteps and crossed the finish line second, and then naturally slowed down his pace. After seeing Wen Hao's crossing the line, there was no expression on his face, and he was not even prepared to look at himself. What is the score.

When he turned around, he almost bumped into Maldina, who was concentrating on the big screen. Tyson Gay patted him on the shoulder politely and walked straight to the athletes' tunnel without waiting for Maldina to respond.

Maldina was a little confused for the first time. He reacted and wanted to respond to Tyson Gay, but when he turned around, the opponent had already walked away. At this time, he was also eager to know his results, so he could only give up the idea and stay. In place.

Wen Hao had a similar reaction. After saying hello to Fasuba, who had a good relationship with him, he chose to leave without waiting for the verified results to be released.

Advancing to the finals is a sure thing. The most important thing is to seize the time to massage, relax your muscles, and rest to restore your physical fitness.

In the commentary box, before the results were released, Yang Jian also gave his own analysis:

"In this group of competitions, we can see that Wenhao and Guy's strength is indeed much higher than other players. Their performance throughout the competition was relatively relaxed. Moreover, the two of them were very restrained and did not fight to compete for the top spot in the group. They both deliberately conserved their energy for the final two hours later. 』

"Wen Hao's crossing the line time is 9 seconds 92. The organizing committee referee is currently calibrating it through the analysis of high-speed cameras. However, judging from the distance he is ahead of Tyson Gay, Tyson Gay's score for this shot should be It can be around 9 seconds 95. 』

"Based on the semi-final data of previous world championships, if you want to get the final ticket for the 10-meter trapeze, you basically have to run within 15 seconds and 10 seconds to have a chance. If you want to stably enter the finals, you need to reach at least 10 seconds and seconds. 』

Not long after, the results of the first group of the men's 100-meter semi-finals were displayed on the big screen:——
Wind speed +0.1m/s
1——China——Wen Hao——9.92 Q
2 – United States – Tyson Gay – 9.96 Q
3 - Antilles - Kurandi Martina - 10.03 PB丨Q
4 – Nigeria – Olusoki Fasouba – 10.06
5 – Great Britain – Mark Lewis – 10.15
6 – Canada – Anson Henry – 10.19
7 – Great Britain – Craig Pickering – 10.27
8——Neon——Nobuharu Chahara——10.32——
"The final score was 9 seconds, beautiful!" Congratulations Wen Hao! 』

"Dear viewers, since the IAAF established the World Championships, the first Asian athlete to reach the men's 100-meter final was born!" 』

"But Wen Hao's journey is far more than that. As a world record holder, entering the finals is just opening the door to the Hall of Honor. As for whether he can become a true, worthy and justifiable king of the 100 meters , we’ll find out in two hours! 』
