"Set..." The starter raised his gun, followed by a gunshot, and the game officially started.
The first one to rush out was not Zhang Guan, Powell, or Montgomery, but the Nigerian player, Olusoki Fasuba, known as the "African Zhang Guan." This was beyond everyone's expectation,
Then, what everyone didn't expect was that Fasuba actually took the lead. He was ahead of all other athletes.
Fasuba showed extraordinary explosive power and acceleration. At least in the first twenty meters, his acceleration was the fastest. Even Zhang Guan, who was in great condition, could not accelerate as fast as Fasuba.
"What a strong instant acceleration ability. This will definitely have some advantages when running 60 meters." Zhang Guan sighed suddenly in his heart. He has a skill called "Instant Speed" in his skill bar, which can improve athletes' instant acceleration ability. , but Zhang Guan did not learn it, because to learn instant speed, he first needed to learn the two skills "Strong Knees" and "Strong Ankles". Zhang Guan felt it was a bit wasteful, and the "Instant Speed" skill also described that long-term use of this skill Can cause damage to knee and ankle joints. And physical injury is the last thing Zhang Guan wants to see.
In fact, in the 100-meter dash, everyone starts off at the same time, which means that the body reacts at the same time. Under the same starting line, there is not much advantage in accelerating slightly faster than others. In other sports, such as basketball or football, athletes have to make judgments based on changes in the live game. The opponent makes an action, and then they respond based on the opponent's action. This requires a reaction time, so the opponent If one of the two athletes accelerates faster, he will have an advantage.
A lead in the first thirty meters is not considered a lead, and a little faster acceleration is of little use. The 100-meter sprint competition is still about the athlete's ultimate speed and speed endurance.
So in the first thirty meters, Fasuba was always in the leading position, but after thirty meters, the situation on the field began to change rapidly.
The first is Montgomery. As a short athlete, his sprinting technique must be high-frequency walking. The high-frequency walking method has greater advantages in acceleration and is also very stable, so just after At thirty meters, he caught up with Fasuba.
After forty meters, Zhang Guan and Powell caught up with Fasuba almost at the same time and then overtook him.
At 50 meters, Montgomery was in a slight lead. This slight lead was not even an advantage, followed by Zhang Guan and Powell, both of whom were neck and neck. At this time, audiences across Europe knew that the contest between the three of them had officially begun.
…
Montgomery was running fast, but the experiences of the past two years kept flashing through his mind.
"Although I have been suspended for the past two years, I have never given up training, even if I get glares every day, even if I have to endure ridicule every day, even if I spend all my savings... I know that sooner or later, I will I will definitely be able to return to the competition! I will definitely be able to return to the top! Today is the moment for me to prove it to the world!"
The fire of hope quickly spread in Montgomery's heart, and finally turned into power, spreading throughout his body and spreading into every bone, every muscle, every drop of blood, and every cell in him. Then Montgomery got faster.
…
"As expected of Montgomery, the former world record holder. Even after being away from the competition for two years, he still has such strong strength. He must have been training continuously in the past two years!" Powell's thoughts flashed through his mind. At the same time, Zhang Guan flashed beside him.
"It's Zhang Guan! Is he still accelerating? He can indeed speed up!" Powell felt that his speed was close to the limit. After running this distance, other athletes should be similar to Powell, but Zhang Guan was not like this. He is far from reaching his limit, he can still be faster!
Powell has the experience of being defeated by Zhang Guan many times. Zhang Guan currently has five opportunities to break the world record in the men's 100-meter dash, three of which were in the same field with Powell. Therefore, Powell's speed against Zhang Guan He had already adapted, and he was not as surprised as the previous times.
But Montgomery is different.
"He was passed! It was Zhang Guan? How is this possible? Can he still speed up? Where is his speed limit? Can his Achilles tendon bear it when he runs so fast?" A series of questions rolled out of Montgomery's mind. , the fire of hope that had just been ignited was ruthlessly extinguished by Zhang Guan at this moment.
…
"Beyond! He surpassed Powell and Montgomery! He quickly opened up the distance, he is ahead! Leading! Crossing the line..." The voice of the on-site commentator increased several decibels, but it was still quickly covered up by the voices of the audience. .
Twenty-five meters before the finish line, Zhang Guan quickly overtook Powell and Montgomery, then in the next fifteen meters, he opened up the lead and then crossed the line. For a world-class 100-meter sprinter, the last twenty-five meters only takes about two seconds to run, but these last two seconds are obviously the most exciting two seconds.
The moment Zhang Guan completes his transcendence, the secretion of adrenaline will instantly increase for the audience, whether they are on the scene or in front of the TV, and the feeling of tension and excitement will also increase to the extreme. When Zhang Guan crosses the line, this kind of The tension and excitement were relieved, and the secretion of adrenaline became much more normal. However, the next number that appeared caused the secretion of adrenaline to explode again!
9.70!
"9 seconds 7! Zhang Guan ran to the mark of 9 seconds 7!" Director Ma took the lead in shouting. This one was like thunder on the ground, which made the somewhat shocked and confused Director Yu come back to his senses.
In the history of human sprinting, integer seconds were first used as barriers, such as the 10-second mark. And when humans run into 10 seconds, this level begins to be calculated in tenths of a second, the 9.9 second mark, the 9.8 second mark, and so on.
At that time, experts once predicted that the limit of the human 100-meter dash was 9.90 seconds. Then Carl Lewis broke this so-called limit with a time of 9.86 seconds. Experts then proposed that 9.80 seconds was the limit of the human 100-meter dash, but Maurice Green told the world that the experts were wrong with his time of 9.79 seconds. Experts then proposed that 9.70 seconds is the limit of the 100-meter dash, and it would take at least thirty years for humans to achieve this result.
But today, this theory of experts has become a joke again. Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, Zhang Guan has broken the 100-meter world record five times in more than a year, raising the world record from 9.78 seconds to 9.72 seconds. seconds, and today, he even reached the 9.70-second mark!
On the TV, the commentator even became gushing in amazement: "Oh my God! It's unbelievable! Zhang Guan actually ran 9.70 seconds! The wind speed is normal, this result is valid! I really don't know what to say. ! Zhang Guan once again broke through the limits of human beings! He is only twenty years old this year, and he ran a time of 9.70 seconds at the age of twenty. I can be sure that one day in the future, he will be able to surpass this number and enter 9.70 Within seconds. I used to think that 9.70 seconds was the limit of humans, but today I found out that I was wrong! Now I really don’t know, where is the limit of humans in the 100-meter movement? 9.70 seconds is obviously not human. The limit may be 9.60 seconds, or 9.50 seconds... "
The coaching staff, Director Ma and Director Yu didn't even make any celebrating moves at this time. They just stared blankly at the results board, looking like a pair of frustrated psychopaths.
For more than a year, Zhang Guan has continuously set new world records in the 100-meter dash. Every time, they were ecstatic and would dance and celebrate to express their inner joy. But this time, they did not do that. They still Very happy, but at this time another emotion completely overwhelmed the joy.
This is shocking!
If you run under 9.75 seconds, everyone will be surprised, excited, and happy. Then running to the 9.70-second mark will bring you the most important shock!
Both the audience and coaches, including the athletes competing with Zhang Guan, were all shocked by the number of 9.70 seconds. The athletes who crossed the finish line stared blankly at the huge timing board. Even Powell, who was very familiar with Zhang Guan, forgot to step forward to celebrate Zhang Guan.
"9.70 seconds? Are these young people today? How could they be so good! It's only been two years since I left! Why did the world record become 9.70 seconds!" Montgomery felt that he seemed to be out of touch with the times.
Three years ago, when Montgomery broke the world record with a time of 9.78 seconds, he stood at the top of the world at that time. Three years later, when he gathered enough energy and prepared to challenge the top of the world again, he discovered that this The peak of the world at that time was already out of reach for him, and he could only look up!
The distance between 9.78 seconds and 9.70 seconds is a river that will last forever for Montgomery, who is just thirty years old.
…
Moving to the battle zone, Jeremy Varina's expression was not as relaxed as before.
"9.70 seconds! I can't believe that I have witnessed such a game. Humans have reached the 9.70-second mark!" Warina silently stared at Zhang Guan and thought to himself.
Coach Hart said from the side: "9.70 seconds. This at least proves that Zhang Guan is in very good condition today. Although he only has more than an hour of rest time, you must not forget that he is very unique in controlling his physical strength. Methods."
"I understand!" Varina nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Coach, Zhang Guan ran to the 9.70-second mark. Do you think I can hope to run to the 43-second mark?"
Hart was stunned for a moment, then he patted Varina on the shoulder: "Jeremy, you are the best 400-meter runner in the world. Everyone calls you Michael Johnson's successor, but I always believe that, One day, you will be able to surpass Michael Johnson! I believe you can reach the 43-second mark in the 400-meter dash!"
Extra updates will be sent to you, thank you to the leader for eating and showing off hundreds of thousands of points! Today is also the third update, so I’d rather ask for a monthly ticket!
