The next race that is about to begin is the men's 100-meter race.
In the men's 100-meter race, Montgomery still didn't come, but Crawford returned. Together with Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott, they formed an American trio, as well as Powell and O. Familiar faces such as Bikveru, in addition to local Belgian players participating in the competition.
The tracks of Powell and Zhang Guan were next to each other. Powell moved closer to Zhang Guan and said, "Do you want to try to break the world record later?"
"Of course I have to give it a try. I'll give him an extra 100,000 euros in bonus! And Rogge is watching from above. This is a good opportunity to flatter him!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Flattery? Who among the athletes participating in the competition today doesn't want to flatter the President of the International Olympic Committee!" Powell sighed softly: "It's a pity that I don't have the strength!"
Zhang Guan just smiled and did not continue to respond. He challenged the new world record today. His purpose was not just to flatter Rogge, but also to contribute to the entry of martial arts into the Olympics.
The referee signaled the athletes to prepare, so the participating athletes immediately stood on the starting block.
"Set..." After the starter shouted this sentence, he immediately pulled the trigger.
The contestants were stunned for a moment before starting to run for the first time. The subsequent display of the athlete's starting reaction time showed that, except for Zhang Guan, the other athletes' starting reaction times were all around 0.2 seconds. For professional 100-meter sprinters, this starting reaction time can be said to be a complete failure.
On the one hand, the starter's orders will have a sense of rhythm. Get into position, prepare, and fire. There is a pause between each step. The rhythm of each person's command is different, but it is generally not too different. The athletes who adopt the gun-pressing and running tactic are also betting on the rhythm of the starter's command.
But today, the starter fired directly after shouting "set" without any pause, so the players were a little slow to react, resulting in generally slow reaction times at the start.
Zhang Guan was also caught off guard. Fortunately, he had the "quick reaction" skill, so his starting reaction time was still within a relatively normal range.
In usual competitions, Zhang Guan usually chooses to be safe and run honestly. After all, he has an advantage in strength and there is no need to bet on the gun. Therefore, it is difficult for Zhang Guan to gain any advantage in the early stage of the 100-meter race. But today's situation was a little different. Other players started a little slower. On the contrary, Zhang Guan, who started normally, gained an advantage at the beginning of the game.
"Zhang Guan was ahead from the beginning! There is no suspense about the championship. It must be Zhang Guan's!" Director Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The only suspense now is whether Zhang Guan can break the world record.
The camera has been focused on Zhang Guan, who has always been far ahead of me, and the gap between him and me is getting bigger and bigger, but time is also passing by. Zhang Guan is getting closer to the finish line, and he is far away from the 9.70 seconds created by Zhang Guan. The 100-meter world record is getting closer.
The audience's understanding of Zhang Guan's speed through the broadcast lens is not so intuitive, but Powell, who is closely behind Zhang Guan, is different. As the world's top sprinter, Powell is already extremely sensitive to speed. Now he and the same player on the field are different. In competition, you can feel Zhang Guan's speed more deeply.
"Zhang Guan really wants to hit the world record!" Powell's mind was no longer on the competition, but on whether Zhang Guan could break the world record in the 100-meter dash.
60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters, Zhang Guan is getting closer and closer to the finish line, and the cheers on the scene are getting louder and louder.
"Zhang Guan, leading all the way! His speed is very fast, Zhang Guan, can he break the world record! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Cross the finish line!" The commentator on the scene suddenly paused, and then carefully confirmed Zhang Guan Zhang Guan, here, broke the 9.70 he held with a time of 9.68 seconds in Brussels. The men’s 100-meter world record in seconds!”
"Zhang Guan, in human history, is the first person to run 100 meters in 9.70 seconds! Some scientists previously proposed that the limit of 100 meters for humans is 9.70 seconds, but today, Zhang Guan used his strength to tell the world that humans can run 9.70 seconds. Within 0.70 seconds!”
The nearly 50,000 spectators at the scene went crazy at this moment. They had been waiting for the world record all night and finally arrived!
Director Yu raised his arms high. Although Director Yu had been prepared for Zhang Guan to break the world record before, he still couldn't hide his excitement when it came to the end.
In 9.68 seconds, Zhang Guan crossed the threshold of 9.70 seconds, so this world record is particularly unique.
Rogge, who was sitting among the distinguished guests, let out a sigh of relief, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next to him stood up and started applauding.
"Finally, someone has broken the world record. It would be so embarrassing if no one broke the world record in today's competition!" Rogge applauded and stood up with a smile, looking at Zhang Guan who was still celebrating at the finish line, his face was already darker than before. It looks much better.
Others, such as Isinbayeva, Dibaba, Bayles, Shaheen, etc., all looked at Zhang Guan with envy. Which of these world-class athletes would not want to have a relationship with Rogue? In the end, only Zhang Guan successfully broke the world record. After the Belgian royal family's dinner tomorrow, Zhang Guan's name will definitely be added to the list of athletes specially taken care of by the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Director Zhu, who was watching the game at the scene, also found a quiet corner to report the matter to the domestic Olympic organizing committee. Although it was already early in the morning in China, the leader in charge actually did not rest and had been working Waiting for news, in order for martial arts to be included in the Olympics, the domestic Olympic organizing committee has also tried its best and used all available connections for public relations.
…
VIP room.
His Royal Highness, who is already in his fifties, still looks cheerful and does not show any signs of fatigue. He behaves as if he is a young man in his twenties or thirties.
"This Chinese young man is really great. He is the first time in human history to reach the 9.70 second mark, and it was created in Belgium. It has become the 100th anniversary of the Belgian Olympic Committee. I think history will definitely I will remember this moment forever!" His Highness Prince Wang said.
Rogge nodded in agreement: "This is indeed a moment worth remembering for us. The world record of the 100-meter flying man has extraordinary significance, not to mention the 9.70-second mark that broke through the human limit."
"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's dinner. I can't wait to meet this Chinese friend. Oh, I remembered, he will have a 400-meter race in a while!" His Highness Prince Wang said. .
"Zhang Guan is the first athlete to participate in two events in the same Golden League. His 400 meters is also top-notch in the world. Even American player Varina is not his opponent." Rogge introduced.
"I remember that the 400-meter world record seemed to be an almost insurmountable result. If Zhang Guan can break the world record in the 400-meter race later, he would be perfect!" His Highness Wang Chu continued happily. Said: "The Brussels Station of the Golden League has set two epic world records! I think the Brussels Station will become the best tournament since the Golden League was held! Mr. Rogge, what do you think?"
"The best race since the Golden League?" Luo Gexin said that His Royal Highness is really big-hearted. How can the world record of 400 meters be broken so easily! The world record of 43.18 seconds. Since Michael Johnson retired, no athlete has been able to come close to this time, let alone break the world record.
But Rogge didn't show it on his expression. He nodded with a smile and said, "I think so too. I'm looking forward to the 400-meter race in the near future."
…
"What a lucky boy! He ran within 9.70 seconds, 9.68 seconds, another human speed limit." Coach Hart sighed helplessly: "It seems that Zhang Guan is in good condition today."
Coach Gart used the word "same" because Varina was in very good condition today. In Coach Gart's opinion, it could even be described as "extremely good."
"The 400-meter dash battle will probably be another tough battle for Varina. I wonder if Varina can win the final victory today!" Coach Gatt muttered to himself.
As an American athlete, Varina is not too enthusiastic about currying favor with International Olympic Committee Chairman Rogge. After all, American sports are highly commercialized and American athletes earn very good incomes. Therefore, Americans are not very enthusiastic about the International Olympic Committee. The level of dependence on the Olympic Games is not high, and there is a mutually cooperative relationship between them and the International Olympic Committee.
So at this time, Warina was more concerned about defeating Zhang Guan.
Brussels is already the fifth stop of the Golden League. This is also the fifth time that Varina has played against Zhang Guan. Varina's performance in the first four times cannot be said to be bad, but Zhang Guan's strength is just too strong. But the "White Forrest Gump" had no intention of giving up. He always felt that there was no gap in strength between him and Zhang Guan, it was just their on-the-spot performance that was different. Therefore, Varina still had to challenge Zhang Guan in Brussels.
Finally, after a period of rest, the 400-meter race began.
In the 400-meter race, the women's 400-meter event still started first. The American women's 400-meter runner Richards, who also came back in this race, won the championship without any suspense, but she did not break the world record. . The women's 400-meter world record dates back to 20 years ago, when Koch, an athlete from the Democratic Republic of Germany, set a time of 47.60 seconds. In this era when women's 400-meter results are generally outside 49 seconds, Koch's world record is also impossible to be broken.
Next, it’s finally the men’s 400-meter race. Zhang Guan and Varina are about to meet for the fifth time this year.
