Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 234 World Championship Triple Crown! Glory to Asia!

"Set——"

The starter's preparatory command echoed in the quiet stadium. The eight players guarding the first leg raised their waists and hips and assumed a starting posture. At the same time, the nearly 60,000 spectators in the stadium also held their breath. After just one gunshot, the long-simmering enthusiasm in their hearts will immediately burst out.

"Snapped--!"

The crisp sound of the starting gun resounded throughout the audience!
The stadium, which was originally peaceful, suddenly exploded like a powder keg with a fuse ignited. The nearly 60,000 spectators filled the stadium with loud cheers and shouts in an instant.

Lao Yi's starting reaction time is 0.167 seconds, and the acceleration connection after starting is not very fast. Relatively speaking, he is better at running on the road.

This situation was mentioned to Li Qing and Yuan Guoqiang by his coach Cheng Wenzhong of the Guangxi team when he was selected for the national training team.

However, since the national team training before the World Championships lasted less than three months, even if Li Qing wanted to help him improve his starting skills, he did not have the energy. He just followed Yuan Guoqiang's "relay-driven individual events" Strategies are being trained.

After nearly three months of training, Lao Yi's personal abilities have naturally improved, but the improvement is not that great. In excellent condition, he has initially developed the ability to run under 10 seconds and 20 seconds. Under normal conditions, he can Maintain between 10 seconds 20 and 10 seconds 25.

If this strength is placed in the future, it will definitely not be enough. Anyway, if he faces the grown-up Nesta Carter, he will definitely be tortured into Xiang.

But the good thing is that among the top players of each team in this game, there is no player who can absolutely crush Lao Yi.

Among the seven opponents in the first leg, there are three of Lao Yi's main opponents: Davis Patton of the US team, Marvin Anderson of the Jamaican team, and Naoki Tsukahara of the Neon team.

达维斯·帕顿是出生于1977年、全场年龄最大的老将，个人最佳10.00（+1.5）、赛季最佳10.11（+1.1），曾在2003年的巴黎世锦赛为美国队拿到过接力金牌，2004年的雅典奥运会作为替补在预赛首发帮助队伍晋级决赛。

马文·安德森是本届世锦赛200米的决赛圈选手，个人最佳均在本赛季创造：10.15（+1.3）、20.06（-0.4）。

Tsukahara Naoki is an old rival, with a personal best of 10.16 (+0.5) and a season best of 10.17 (-0.3). Like Lao Yi, he was born in 1985.

In general, Lao Yi's three main opponents are not better than him. After all, he has run 10.27 (-1.7) and 10.21 (-0.6) in this world championship.

Especially in the first half of the first leg, due to the angle of the live broadcast and the lack of clear landmarks on the track, it is generally difficult to tell who is leading and who is lagging behind.

40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters.
After entering the second half of the curve, the performance of the players can be subjectively judged to a certain extent. The judgment is of course based on the visual effect of the distance between the players.

At this time, countless spectators were paying close attention to the situation on the field, but looking left and right, they found that the situation was too anxious!

The German team and the Nigerian team in lanes 2 and 3 were basically ignored, but the top players of the other six teams in lanes 4 to 9 actually showed a close match.

If you can't tell the difference in personal strength, then you can only gain advantage through handover!

"Game start! Starting speed is not Lao Yi's strong point, but I believe that he will not lose to other opponents in the subsequent running stage! 』

"Halfway through the bend, Lao Yi didn't fall behind! Next comes the handover of one and two sticks! 』

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters.
In an instant, Lao Yi had entered the handover area!

The handover area for the first and second legs is 90 to 110 meters, but if the handover is completed 10 meters ahead, it usually means that the second leg player has finished starting and does not have a good pre-run acceleration.

Lao Yi's ability to maintain speed in the later stages is quite good, so Hu Kai's pre-run point will be set farther away to ensure that he can have sufficient acceleration distance.

After the starting gun was fired, when Lao Yi was about to run halfway, Hu Kai had already bent down and prepared the starting position. He put his right hand on the ground and turned slightly to the left, always observing Lao Yi's running figure.

Just when Lao Yi was about to reach the preset point, Hu Kai immediately turned around and started to accelerate for the pre-run. As Lao Yi quickly approached, Hu Kai's speed continued to increase.

92 meters, 94 meters, 96 meters.
At the moment when he was about to step onto the 100-meter mark line in two steps, Hu Kai suddenly heard a shout from behind him like a furious bull:
"catch--!!!"

At the same time as this shout was issued, Lao Yi had already passed the baton forward, and then Hu Kai quickly extended his left hand backwards, one, two! In just two steps, Hu Kai held the baton firmly in his hand!
This is a scene that was hard to see in the Chinese men's 4×100 meter relay team in the past, because without long-term training and living together, it would be impossible to develop such a tacit understanding.

One or two sticks, the Chinese team was the first to complete the handover!
This was also the moment when Hu Kai just reached the 100-meter mark, with a time of 10.33 seconds.

In contrast, the American team was 10.28 seconds, the Jamaican team was 10.60 seconds, and the Neon team was 10.32 seconds.

The first match between the Chinese team and these three teams was evenly matched. The reason why the American team was 0.04 seconds faster was mainly because Wallace Spearmon started a little earlier. Of course, this was also because of his start. The speed is very slow, and only starting earlier will help shorten the handover time.

The reason why the Jamaican team took 10.60 seconds was mainly because their second player, Usain Bolt, did not judge the timing of the pre-run, causing him to start too late, thus spending extra time in the handover area.

In the data analysis of the 4×100 meter relay, relevant experts generally use two different methods to analyze, one is [individual superposition analysis method] and the other is [group whole hundred analysis method].

Take the first bat as an example.

[Individual superposition analysis method] refers to the time it takes for the first athlete to reach the 100-meter segment line from the starting point. The characteristic of this analysis method lies in the athletes themselves.

But in many cases, either the first and second athletes complete the handover before 100 meters, or they complete the handover after 100 meters, so when calculating the data, "handover overlap" will occur, and the sum of the segmented data of the four rods is will be greater than the total score.

[Team 100-meter analysis method] refers to the time it takes for the first athlete to start from the starting point and when the second athlete reaches the -meter line. The characteristic of this analysis method is that the four athletes are treated as a whole.

For example, in the Jamaican team at this time, due to Usain Bolt's delayed judgment in the second bat, his start was late, forcing Marvin Anderson to slow down to reach the bat, and the handover was completed at 100 meters before.

Therefore, the first leg time of 10.60 was not due to Marvin Anderson's lack of strength, but because Usain Bolt's performance "drag" Marvin Anderson.

In contrast, the handover of the first and second legs of the three teams of China, the United States, and Neon was completed around or after the 100-meter line, so the segmented data of the first leg appeared to be much "excellent".

"OK! The handover between the first and second sticks was very smooth, Hu Kai accelerated! Bring out your ability as China’s second person in 100 meters! 』

On the stage of a competition like the World Championships, Yang Jian's commentary will never disappoint. Just listening to his passionate tone will make people feel that they are on the scene, and the passion in their hearts will also follow. The game progressed and gushed out.

After the first and second sticks are handed over, they enter the first straight section. At this time, the performance of the second stick players of each team can be intuitively felt.

Looking at the field at this moment, from the American team in lane 4 to the Neon team in lane 9, the six second-team players almost present a ladder structure of equal lengths, except for the Jamaican team in lane 5.

Due to a handover error, when Bolt ran to the middle of the straight, Spearmon was already less than 2 meters away from him, and the four outside teams of Britain, China, Brazil, and Neon were still in the second leg at this time. It is also maintained within the normal distance range of 3 to 4 meters.

However, as Usain Bolt gradually accelerated, Spearmon could no longer get closer to him, and the American team and the Jamaican team began to balance out in the second leg.

And because the personal abilities of Bolt and Spearmon are much stronger than the other six second-place players, the Jamaican team is constantly recovering from its lag at this time, and the American team continues to expand its lead. .

Amid the roaring cheers and shouts, the situation on the field once again reached a stalemate, and the more this happened, the more nervous the audience became.

Judging from the second round of the confrontation, there is no doubt that the American team has achieved a considerable lead, which is also very consistent with people's inherent impression of the American team.

Supporters of other teams at the scene, especially the vast majority of the Neon audience, and the Chinese audience, who also accounted for a large proportion, looked at the extremely anxious situation on the field, and wished that Shen Wu or Hu Kai would continue at the end. Install a rocket thruster under its feet.

It’s too painful. If this continues, when will we be able to tell the difference?
"Spearmon has caught up. The third player of the American team is the more powerful Tyson Gay, and the Chinese team is the young player Su Bingtian. 』

"Look at the handover of the second and third sticks - straight into the corner! Su Bingtian rises! 』

In the handover area between the second and third sticks, Su Bingtian was trying to control his thinking at the moment, ignoring the fact that his opponent was Tyson Gay, and focusing entirely on his teammate Hu Kai.

He knows that he is currently the weakest in personal ability among the main members of the relay team, but precisely because of this, he cannot let down the efforts of his teammates.

No matter whether Lao Yi and Hu Kai were behind or ahead in the first two sticks, no matter what abilities Wen Hao, guarding the fourth stick, could display, all he could and should do was to run his third stick well!

Handover is a top priority. At last year's Doha Asian Games, it was precisely because of the mistakes of Hu Kai and Yang Yaozu in the second and third batons that the Chinese team missed the relay gold medal.

In the current competition, the Chinese relay team has a great chance to create history, whether it is setting a new Asian record or winning the first major relay medal in Asian track and field history.

If you want to make history with your own hands, you must do your best!
In the field of vision, Hu Kai's figure is getting closer and closer.

Su Bingtian kept a close eye on Hu Kai's footsteps, and just when he was about to set foot on the preset step, he turned around! start up! accelerate!
He started accelerating without any distractions, his body's center of gravity continued to increase, and his speed continued to increase. At the same time, he focused on his hearing, waiting for Hu Kai's instructions at any time.

196 meters, 198 meters, 200 meters.
Perhaps because Su Bingtian's startup speed was too fast, the handover point between him and Hu Kai was later than that between Hu Kai and Lao Yi.

"catch!!!"

At the same time as he reached the 200-meter line, Hu Kai's roaring handover signal came from behind, and Su Bingtian stretched out his right hand backwards almost reflexively.

One step, two steps, three steps. Until the fourth step, a familiar touch suddenly came from the palm of my hand!
Su Bingtian's body once again subconsciously reacted, and with a fierce grip of his right hand, he firmly grasped the baton in his palm, and began to run at high speed on the curve!
At the same time, Neon, Brazil, Britain, the United States, Jamaica and other teams also completed the handover. The second segment time of each team is the time it takes for the second runner to start from the 100-meter segment line and to the third runner to reach the 300-meter segment line.

Shingo, the last member of the Neon team, was 9.17 seconds, and the total time of the first and second bats was 19.49 seconds.

The U.S. team's Spearmon was 9.22 seconds, and the total time for the first and second strokes was 19.50 seconds.

Hu Kai of the Chinese team was 9.22 seconds, and the total time for the first and second strokes was 19.55 seconds

Bolt of the Jamaican team was 9.05 seconds, and the total time of the first and second strokes was 19.65 seconds

In the first two performances, the Chinese team was slightly behind the Neon Team and the American Team, but 0.06 seconds is obviously an acceptable range. After all, Wen Hao completely surpassed Tyson Gay in the 200-meter final. 0.22 seconds.

Next - enter the third battle!
The transfer of the second and third legs of the American team was not particularly smooth. A very important factor was that Spearmon participated in three 7-meter races and four 8-meter races in Europe between July and August. Frequent competitions mean relays If the training time is insufficient, the cultivation of tacit understanding will naturally be lacking.

But that little handover loss is nothing to worry about for the American team, because their third bat is-Tyson Gay!
In terms of personal strength, not to mention Su Bingtian, who is only 18 years old this year, Marlon Devonish, who is the third leg of the British team and has won the relay gold medal in the Athens Olympics, is also competing with Tyson Gay. There is an unbridgeable gap.

For Tyson Gay, perhaps the reason why he started a little later is not because he and Spearmon did not have enough tacit understanding of cooperation. It may also be that he did not want to repeat the situation at the World Championships in Helsinki just to be on the safe side. It's a bad situation.

After completing this slightly safe handover of the second and third sticks, Tyson Gay quickly transformed into a beast that came out of the cage and began to gallop around the track, chasing after him!

Just after reaching about 230 meters, Nesta Carter, the third player of the Jamaican team, was left behind by Tyson Gay!

"Tyson Gay is indeed very powerful! He gave Team USA a huge lead on the third leg! 』

"Su Bingtian is about to be overtaken by Malone from the British team, hold on, Su Bingtian!" Come on keep it up! 』

After watching Tyson Gay's passionate performance of "Overtaking on a Corner," the cheers and shouts from the audience became even more intense. The waving fifty-star striped flags in the spectator seats seemed to herald the final outcome. .

On the fast-speeding curve, Su Bingtian's young and tender face had turned ferocious at this time. He felt the figure of Marlon Dvornish approaching from the inside. He had been forced out of his body under this strong sense of oppression. The limit!

The center of gravity began to float, the technical movements began to deform, and the running rhythm seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
But, it’s not time to give up yet!
I must hand the baton firmly to Wen Hao's hands!

Hold on to Su Bingtian, you can withstand it!
The cheers and cheers of the tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium suddenly became even more enthusiastic.

In the blink of an eye, the game has entered the final decisive stage - the handover of three or four sticks!

Tyson Gay of Team USA enters the handover area first!
Then came Team GB’s Marlon Devonish, Team Neon’s Gao Ping, and Team Brazil’s Maurice.
After hurrying and hurrying, Su Bingtian finally ranked fifth and entered the handover area!
Wen Hao turned sideways and observed carefully, keeping his eyes on Su Bingtian's feet. It wasn't until Su Bingtian took another step past the preset step point that he suddenly kicked off and started to accelerate the pre-run.

His startup speed was too fast, but Su Bingtian's ability to maintain speed was slightly insufficient. In order to ensure a smooth handover, Wen Hao chose a more conservative startup and chose to believe in himself.

Perhaps one day, when the overall strength of China's sprinters has made great progress, whether it is Su Bingtian or anyone else, they will have the ability to completely trust him.

But now, he can only put all the hope of victory on his own shoulders.

288 meters, 290 meters, 292 meters.
"Wen Hao! Pick up!!!"

Su Bingtian shouted the handover signal from behind.

Since he and Su Bingtian had been practicing the overhead baton-passing technique, Wen Hao could clearly see the location of the baton even when he was accelerating.

His left hand reached down like a shuttle, suddenly grabbed the baton in his hand, and then - transformed into red lightning and ran fast on the field!
Standing up and looking up, the 300-meter section line was already at my feet. At this time, 28.98 seconds had passed since the starting gun sounded.

It is also the time to reach the 300-meter section line,
The American team's time was 28.55 seconds, and the third team, Tyson Gay, took 9.05 seconds!

The British team's time was 28.80 seconds, and Marlon Devonish's third time was 9.21 seconds.

The Neon team’s time was 28.85 seconds, and the third team’s Gaohei Shenshi took 9.36 seconds.

The Chinese team's first three strokes were 10.33, 9.22, and 9.43 respectively. Su Bingtian's segmentation was obviously slow, but this was also caused by Wen Hao's conservative start.

If he starts normally, Su Bingtian's split time should be within 9.40 seconds, which is not much worse than Gao Ping Shenshi.

"The fourth decisive battle!" The American team entered the straight line first, the Chinese team is now in a relatively lagging position, Wen Hao speeds up! 13 billion Chinese people are waiting for you to create miracles! 』

燕京时间2007年9月1日20点50分，中央电视台体育频道，杨建那嘶声竭力的呐喊声在神州大地的千家万户之中回荡。

When Wen Hao took the baton and started to rush forward, there were already many figures in front of him, with four players ahead of him.

At the front is Leroy Dixon of the United States team, second is Mark Lewis of the British team, third is Nobuharu Asahara of the Neon team, and fourth is Sandro Viana of the Brazilian team.

On the other side, when the game progressed to 29.05 seconds, Asafa Powell, the fourth member of the Jamaican team on Lane 5, finally arrived "late" and reached the 300-meter line sixth.

Like Wen Hao, he also faced an extremely difficult situation.

The difference is that Wen Hao's teammates have tried their best and exerted every strength they can.

The Jamaican team fell behind at this time, but it was due to Usain Bolt's pre-run error, which triggered a series of chain reactions.

For an instant, time and space seemed to freeze.

Countless spectators at the scene and in front of the TV were watching the game closely at this moment. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Hao in lane 7 and Asafa Powell in lane 5.

The game has not yet entered the final moment, and the suspense of victory or defeat still exists.

Tyson Gay's performance in the third baton is certainly unmatched, but are Wenhao and Powell vegetarians?

In the final stage of the fourth leg, the Chinese team was 0.43 seconds behind the U.S. team, and the Jamaican team was even behind by a full 0.5 seconds!
But even with such a huge lagging gap, there are still many track and field fans around the world who are paying attention to this night of speed, looking forward to and believing in the birth of a miracle!
Especially the figure that is as red as the blazing sun on the seventh path. Everyone is looking forward to him and watching him.

Because he is the double champion of the 100m and 200m World Championships, the sprint king of this era, the creator of the 9m world record of 76 seconds, and the fastest man in the world!
At this moment, on the orange-red track of Osaka Nagai Land Arena, the scene of the men's 100-meter trapeze battle at the World Championships seemed to be happening again.

This time, Wenhao is still Wenhao, but Asafa Powell seems to have become the role of Tyson Gay, and playing "Asafa Powell" is the fourth player of the American team-Leroy Dixon!
310 meters, 320 meters, 330 meters.
After a full acceleration of more than 40 meters, Wen Hao's speed at this time has increased to the extreme state. Sandro Viana, the fourth player of the Brazilian team, ranked fourth, and the third player of the Neon team ranked fourth. The four-stick Asahara Nobuharu is being chased closer and closer!
340 meters, one and a half lengths left from Sandro Viana!

350 meters away, only half a body away from Sandro Viana!
360 meters, surpassing Sandro Viana and tying Nobuharu Asahara!
370 meters, surpassing Nobuharu Asahara and tying Mark Lewis!

The last 30 meters.
Leroy Dixon, the fourth baton of the American team, is still two positions ahead of Wen Hao due to the advantages created by his teammates in the first three battalions, especially Tyson Gay!
At this time, the people Wen Hao wanted to thank most were Walter Dix, who was still attending college, and Sean Crawford, who gave up participating in the World Championships in order to make more money.

他们但凡有一个肯来到大阪，美国接力队都不可能任用选拔赛排名第六、PB只有10秒07、常态发挥在10秒2~10秒3之间飘忽不定的勒罗伊·迪克森，来担任美国的第四棒，来担任他的对手！
380 meters, one body away from Leroy Dixon!
390 meters away, only half a body away from Leroy Dixon!

The last 10 meters!
Press the line!

Lore!

37.76!

As a fiery figure crossed the finish line first, the roar of the mountains that had always been in the land arena seemed to shake the sky, like waves and thunder!
After crossing the finish line, Wen Hao could no longer suppress the emotions that had been building up in his heart for a long time. He didn't even look at the reference score on the timer, even though the full-speed sprint of more than 110 meters had almost exhausted his physical strength. Even though he was exhausted, he still did not slow down and continued to stride on the track.

"Won! Wen Hao won! He beat Team USA at the last minute! 』

"37 seconds 76!" The Chinese relay team led by Wen Hao incredibly improved the Asian record by nearly 0.4 seconds! 』

『8月26日男子100米决赛上跑出9秒81！8月30日男子200米决赛跑出19秒46！此时此刻又率领中国田径接力队跑出37秒76，至此——文浩成功加冕世锦赛三冠王！荣耀亚洲！』

In the arena, Wen Hao, who was gradually running to exhaustion, finally stopped. His chest heaved violently and he gasped for air. He sat down on his butt and lay on the track like a "big" human specimen. on, the smile on his face was brilliant.

Leroy Dixon, who was successfully killed by Wen Hao at the last moment, fell to his knees in confusion, holding his head and face and crying bitterly.

On the other side, Asafa Powell, who relied on his strong strength to successfully overtake the baton from sixth place to third place, was being surrounded by teammates and praising him, and he himself was grinning happily. .

It can be seen that although they are all bronze medals, this bronze medal makes Powell feel more happy and joyful than the 100-meter individual bronze medal a week ago.

Not long after, Lao Yi, Hu Kai, and Su Bingtian came together and picked up Wen Hao, who was so exhausted that he could hardly move for a while. Then they covered him with a bright five-star red flag and began to circle the field to celebrate and enjoy the cheers of the audience. and congratulations.

At the same time, after several wonderful shots were replayed on the big screen, the final results were announced:——
1——China——37.76 WL丨AR
2 - United States - 37.78 SB
3 – Jamaica – 37.89 NR
