Chapter 67: Leading!
The starter signaled that the athletes were ready to start, and the stadium fell into a quiet moment. The audience held their breaths and waited for the moment when the gunshot.
The starter raised the gun, and the athlete-focused all his ears, waiting for the sound of the gun to sound.
At this level of competition, the starting is quite critical. World-class athletes will naturally not start too badly. Each other can't get an advantage through starting, but if there is a mistake in starting, the disadvantage is certain. It's just like sailing against the current, not going backward.
"Boom!"
Starting gunshots sounded!
Immediately afterward, the referee blew the whistle to suspend the game and someone ran away!
"Maurice Greene! Maurice Greene ran away!" The host's voice sounded on the TV.
"I don't think this is unexpected!" Erickson next to the host continued: "Greene has consumed too much physical energy in the semifinals, so he chose to use the pressure gun to run to gain an advantage. He still hasn't given up the fight for the championship! "
Maurice Greene walked slowly back to the starting line. As Erickson said, the main reason he used the pressure gun to run was that he consumed too much physical energy in the semifinals, but he eventually failed.
After another minute of preparation, the athlete stepped on the starting block again.
Maurice Greene closed his eyes, and he carefully recalled the situation when he first started.
Gatlin looked at Greene secretly, and he could feel that Greene had become very focused at this time. Greene just succeeded in the race just now, which also showed that Greene was extremely focused.
"Set ..." The starter raised the gun again, then pulled the trigger.
The gunshots sounded and the athletes started!
"Greene!"
Maurice Greene's starting was very good, he was the first to start. Then the starting reaction time showed that Maurice Greene's starting reaction time was 0.127 seconds, a starting reaction time of fewer than 0.13 seconds, obviously a pressure gun run!
"It's true that Morris Green dared to use a pressure gun to run both starts! And the second time was successful, so strong psychological qualities!" The audience thought of it.
Among the rest of the athletes, Powell's starting is very poor, but other athletes also seem to be more conservative in starting. It can be said that the biggest profiter this time is Greene. But the start is only part of the game, the real contest has just begun.
...
"The start of the game, Zhang Guan's start is very good!" Yang electrolytic spokesman said. In fact, because of his mental state of being a dog, he didn't see the athlete's starting situation at all. However, he just felt that Zhang Guan was not behind, so he casually said, "The starting is very good."
The paces of the first three-step athletes are almost the same, basically on the same plane, and a few meters later, the Portuguese Obik Viru obviously has a little advantage, and the Jamaican flying man Powell also caught up. As for the three American athletes, they did not rush to the front.
This very short distance acceleration seems to be not very good for the three American athletes, but everyone knows that the advantage of the first thirty meters is not an advantage at all. The reason why American is strong is because of their follow-up ability. After ten meters, the American advantage will be reflected.
"Zhang Guan cheer, keep the momentum!" Seeing that Zhang Guan did not fall behind, the voice of the narrator was also a little higher.
At thirty meters, the American Gatlin has already caught up with Portuguese athlete Obik Viru. From a speed perspective, Gatlin is faster than Obik Viru.
At the same time, Powell slowed down and was overtaken by Maurice Greene beside him.
The crown next to Maurice Greene, slightly more than half of Greene's position, almost kept pace with Gatling.
Gatlin has passed Obik Viru, and another American player, Crawford, has also caught up with Obik Viru and kept pace with him.
However, the leader was not Gatlin, but a red figure on the outermost track. That's Zhang Guan!
At forty meters, Ariza, the Ghanaian player, may have reached the foot or may have had a sudden cramp. He slowed down and was ready to retire. However, this is a harmless situation. Ariza is already in the bottom position. The athletes running in front of him didn't even know that Ariza has retired.
At this time, the dominant period of the US team finally came.
Gatlin is already ahead of Crawford by about half a meter, and Crawford is still in the same position as Obik Viru. As for Maurice Greene, he is affected by the semi-finals and speed influences.
Maurice Greene felt that he was unable to do so. He had tried his best and hoped to be faster, but the body told him that he had reached the limit of speed.
"Damn, the semi-finals cost too much! Now the speed is not coming." Maurice Greene thought to himself, but at the next moment, he found that Zhang Guan on his right had already led him by one meter.
"Why is this Chinese so fast? He must have consumed more in the semi-finals than me, but why does his physical strength appear so ample now? Did he recover his physical strength in two hours? No, he is faster than in the semi-finals!" Maurice Greene looked at Zhang Guan with a shocked expression. He was the closest to Zhang Guan. He could feel that Zhang Guan's speed was much faster than in the semifinals.
...
"Beyond! Zhang Guan took the lead, he took the lead! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan!" The commentator began to growl, even though Zhang Guan at this time was only vaguely playing with Gatlin, but it was enough to stimulate the commentator's emotions.
After another ten meters, the distance between Zhang Guan and Maurice Greene not only did not shrink, but pulled bigger and bigger, and he had to surpass the first-ranked Gatlin.
At this moment, Zhang Guan is in a clear leading position.
"It's over! Go ahead! Come on! Come on!" Yu Gui suddenly roared. At this moment, Yu Gui suddenly smelled a taste of the Olympic champion. He suddenly raised a sense of inexplicable tension in his heart and then spread all over the body instantly.
Gatlin was on the third lane. His vision was always obscured by the Portuguese Obik Viru on the fifth lane. When he gradually took the lead, he found the eighth lane on the fringe. The position seems to be slightly ahead of himself.
"How is it possible! It that Chinese athlete who is ahead of me! Why can he run so fast! How can he recover his physical fitness so quickly?" Gatlin was surprised, he was not surprised by Zhang Guan's speed after all Zhang Guan also ran out of the world's top speed, which surprised Gatlin's physical fitness.
"Two hours ago, the intense semi-final even affected Greene. The Chinese should be affected more. He must have expended a lot of physical energy. Why is he performing so well now? How does it feel? His physical fitness is better than it was in the semifinals? This is impossible! Impossible! No one can fully recover to the peak physical state in just two hours after such violent consumption. These are human physiological restrictions! "Gatlin seemed to have suddenly caught a life-saving straw. He kept comforting himself: "To believe in science, although the Chinese are fast now, he must be the end of a crossbow, and the second half will be slow. Calm down! And for me, the second half is when you start to work hard. "
Thinking of this, Gatlin became instantly confident. The most powerful thing for American sprinters is not the acceleration in the first half, but the sustained explosive ability in the second half. This is a technical characteristic of American players. So in the game, the Americans may not lead in the first half, but in the second half, the Americans will surpass the other players and get the first place.
In the 100-meter sprint race, maintaining a high speed and high explosive force in the second half of the race has a professional term called "speed endurance" in kinematics. For world-class coaches, athletes 'starting response, running skills, explosive power, etc. can all be improved through targeted training, but speed endurance alone is the biggest problem for sprint coaches in various countries. Only Americans can conduct extremely effective training on speed endurance.
...
"Zhang Guan has taken the lead!" Maurice Greene's eyes flashed with an unbelievable look. In the semi-finals not long ago, he and Zhang Guan struggled to the end. As a party, he can almost feel the energy consumption in the semi-finals, the consumption of that level is impossible to recover in just two hours, not to mention Zhang Guan looks further than in the semifinals.
At the same time, Maurice Greene felt tired.
In the second half of the game, the problem of Greene's excessive energy consumption finally appeared gradually.
"No! I want to hold on! Since a Chinese can do it, and I can do it! I am the world's first! I am the world's first Maurice Greene! I want to be the champion!" At this moment, Greene is proud, his self-esteem turned into a belief in victory, and his body seemed to be self-hypnotic, and he began to show a powerful explosive force!
...
Fast enough!
Very simple fast!
No fancy fast!
This is now Zhang Guan.
He is fast, he is already in a leading position.
But he is even faster!
He wanted more than the gold medal of the Olympic champion.
He also wants a world record!
