Chapter 504 200m Final

As soon as Bolt walked out of the locker room, the camera lens stared at him. Facing the camera, Bolt didn't look very nervous, but showed a determined look. He even made a few exaggerated gestures to the camera, and when he entered the infield, he even jumped A few Jamaican-style reggae dances.

Seeing Bolt's posture, the TV commentator couldn't help sighing: "Bolt seems to be very confident in himself. He doesn't seem to be affected by the defeat in the 100-meter final. But then again, the 100-meter race that day What a pity in the final. He has actually broken the original world record held by Zhang Guan, but it is a pity that Zhang Guan is faster. He broke the world record but only got a silver medal. If it was me, It will definitely be a hit.”

Another commentator immediately went on to say: "Bolt is the number one player in the world after all, he may be the only one who has the strength to challenge Zhang Guan in the sprint event, and Bolt was originally born in the 200-meter sprint , so 200 meters is Bolt's main event, and Bolt's strength in this event is also stronger, so it is normal for him to have self-confidence. Maybe he can cause some troubles for Zhang Guan in the competition, said Maybe he will have the ability to break the world record in this project."

"The world record for the men's 200-meter sprint is 19.30 seconds, which was created by Zhang Guan. Today's scene gave me a feeling of deja vu. The 100-meter trapeze battle a few days ago was also like this. Bolt challenged the world record Zhang Guan is the holder, and it is the same today, but I don’t know if the final result will be history repeating itself.”

"Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out. We know that Zhang Guan's recent state is very good. In the past four days, he has broken three world records. He has broken three world records in one Olympic Games. It’s unbelievable, but he still has a chance to break the fourth and even the fifth world record, I think every day in the future, we may witness miracles happen.”

At the same time, in Jamaica, countless people are also paying attention to this game.

Sprinting is Jamaica's strength. In recent decades, countless Jamaicans have been lifted out of poverty by virtue of sprinting. Therefore, in Jamaica, those who can become sprinters are undoubtedly the idols of the whole people. The story of the boy becoming a world champion has also inspired countless Jamaican young people to devote themselves to the sprint career.

In previous years, Jamaica's national idol was Powell, but now, Jamaica's national idol is undoubtedly Bolt.

There is a thirteen-hour time difference between China and Jamaica, so it is already eleven o'clock in the noon in Jamaica at this time. For Jamaicans, it is already time to have lunch, so people have stopped their work. , find a place with a TV, eat while watching Bolt's game.

In the live broadcast room of the Jamaican TV station, Bolt's father, Bolt Sr., was invited to the scene as a special guest of the game.

Old Bolt is also a person who has accepted many media interviews. Facing the camera, he is not nervous at all, but shows a very sophisticated look, talking with the host.

"We saw that Bolt has already appeared on the stage! Haha, he even danced. It seems that he is very calm. He should be very confident in the upcoming 200-meter final. As a father, I think you must also look forward to it How about his next performance!" the host said.

The old Bolt had a bright smile on his face, and he said: "I believe Usain (Bolt) will definitely win, and he will get his first Olympic medal in the next event. gold medal."

"Mr. Bolt, I feel that you are more confident than your son." The host also smiled, and he went on to say: "We also hope that he can serve our Jamaican team in the next 200-meter sprint event." Won a gold medal. But in the next game, Bolt will have to face very strong opponents. Three players from the United States have entered the final, including the defending champion Crawford, the Martina of Les is also very strong. More importantly, Zhang Guan, the world record holder, has also entered the 200-meter final. Now many foreign media say that this 200-meter final will be Bo There is a big battle between Bolt and Zhang Guan, I don’t know what you think about it, do you think Bolt can beat Zhang Guan in the next game?"

The old Bolt thought for a while and said: "It is undeniable that Zhang Guan is indeed Usain's biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship. Moreover, in the 100-meter final a few days ago, Zhang Guan also defeated Usain But everyone, don’t forget that Zhang Guan’s main event is the 100-meter sprint, and the 100-meter is his best event, but Usain is different. Usain’s main event is the 200-meter, and the 100-meter is just Usain Because of the concurrent event. In the 100m final a few days ago, Zhang Guan’s main event faced Usain’s concurrent event, but today’s match is just the opposite, with Usain’s main event facing Zhang Guan’s Concurrent! So I think the final result will be reversed!"

Old Bolt said this, showing a mysterious smile to the camera, and then continued: "Anyway, the game is about to start, here I might as well reveal a little secret in advance..."

"Oh?" The host immediately widened his eyes, he knew that old Bolt was about to break the news.

I saw the old Bolt said: "The current 200-meter world record is 19.30 seconds held by Zhang Guan. However, this world record is nothing for us Usain. During the few exercises before the start of the Olympics , Usain has run into 19.20 seconds many times."

"19.20 seconds? 0.1 seconds faster than the world record!" The host exclaimed.

"That's right!" Old Bolt nodded, and then said, "Maybe you think it's just practice, and the data may not be accurate, but what I want to tell you is that in the official practice match before the Olympics, Usain also Run out of 19.20 seconds."

"Can you run 19.20 seconds in practice? We haven't heard of this before!" the host said.

"Of course, this matter has always been kept secret, and only a few people know about it." Old Bolt's vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment, and he continued: "So, even if Zhang Guan can If he increases his world record by 0.1 seconds, it is impossible to be Usain's opponent, because now Usain can definitely run within 19.20 seconds! You can look forward to the moment when Usain breaks the record and wins the championship Already!"

...

At this time, the camera has zoomed in, and the game will begin to introduce the athletes on the field.

A total of eight contestants participated, but there were sponsor billboards on the lawn inside the runway, which would affect the first lane for athletes to turn, so the first lane was vacated and unoccupied.

The second track became the innermost runway, and Kim Collins was in this track, followed by Zimbabwe's Dez Gay in the third track, and unavoidable champion Crawford in the fourth track. Zhang Guan is in the fifth lane, and Bolt is in the sixth lane next to Zhang Guan. The seventh lane is Martina from the Netherlands Antilles, and the eighth and ninth lanes are followed by two American players. Players Dix and Spearman occupied.

The camera was aimed at everyone one after another, Kim Collins just waved his hand symbolically, while Dezgay looked very reserved, smiling at the camera, but it was uglier than crying.

The defending champion Crawford has the calmest expression. He is thirty years old and he often lost to Zhang Guan two or three years ago, and he also often lost to Bolt in the past two years. He knows that he cannot It is the opponent of these two super talents, and there are many outstanding young people in this project, so he does not have much hope for the medal.

As for Bolt, it was another signature archery action, but it was a little different than usual. He first pretended to comb his hair, then raised his head, and pointed his sword at the end again!

Martina's expression was serious. When the camera was on him and his name was announced in the arena, he didn't even change his expression. The other two American players also looked very low-key, just simply waved wave.

Afterwards, the referee signaled to the athletes to stand on the starting blocks.

Bolt took a deep breath, drew a cross on his chest, and prayed to God specially. Next to Bolt, Zhang Guan repeatedly recalled the game in his memory.

"I remember that Bolt smashed me in this race and ran 19.30 seconds, breaking Michael Johnson's world record. But because of my existence, history has changed. Bolt is faster than the 100-meter dash. Originally, he ran faster in the Olympics, so he may run faster in the 200 meters. I remember that Bolt’s final world record in the 200 meters was 19.19 seconds, which was faster than my previous world record , so in the next game, I can't take it lightly, I will go all out!"

Zhang Guan bent down, made a starting posture, and then concentrated his attention, waiting for the moment when the gunshot sounded.

The audience at the scene also fell silent, and they didn't want to affect the players' listening to the gun.

"Crack!" The gunshot rang out, and the athletes on the starting block started almost simultaneously. All eight runners listened to the gun and ran, and no one used the tactic of pressing the gun and running.

In the next second, the starting reaction time of each player was displayed on the screen.

The 200-meter start is different from the 100-meter start. The 200-meter start is at a curve. The position of the athlete is also front and back, not on the same level as the 100-meter. , the first step after starting is to adjust your footsteps to adapt to the curve movement, so the curve start must be slower than the straight start.

Among the contestants, Martina from the Netherlands Antilles had the shortest start reaction time. His start reaction time was only 0.144 seconds. This is an excellent result in the 100-meter start. Even better impeccable.

The second place in the starting reaction time is the American teenager Dix. His starting reaction time of 0.151 seconds is also amazing enough. The starting reaction time of another American player Spielman is 0.167 seconds, which is also an excellent one. score.

Bolt's starting reaction time is 0.182 seconds, and Zhang Guan's starting reaction time is 0.186 seconds, which is a relatively normal starting reaction time for 200 meters. The slowest is the American player Crawford, whose starting reaction time is 0.210 seconds, which is obviously slow.

After the runners start running, they are the first to run on a curve. Since the starting positions are first and second, it is difficult to clearly distinguish the first and last positions visually. The speed of the runners can only be judged by feeling. . However, in fact, if you are not a professional, it is difficult to have a clear perception of the speed.

The scene has been enveloped by the cheers of the audience, but people's visual focus is all on Zhang Guan and Bolt.

"Who is faster, Zhang Guan or Bolt?"

"I can't tell the difference, both of them are very fast!"

"I think Bolt is faster, look, he's going to catch up with the guy next to him."

"The person next to him" refers to Martina, a player from the Netherlands Antilles on the seventh lane. At this time, Bolt has narrowed the distance with Martina. You must know that Martina started The position is in front of Bolt, which means that Bolt is faster than Martina.

"No, Zhang Guan is faster than Zhang Guan, he is going to get rid of Crawford!" Someone said immediately.

On the left of Zhang Guan is the defending champion Crawford. At the start, Zhang Guan was in front of Crawford, and the distance between Zhang Guan and Crawford was much larger than when the start started. .

Martina and Crawford are not running slow, at least people can tell with the naked eye that they are faster than Kim Collins, but even so, they are still widened by Bolt and Zhang Guan .

At this time, he has not yet entered the corner, but Kim Collins' speed has obviously been unable to keep up with other players, and he will obviously be the last player in the final.

But the other players did not give up. Although they seem to be behind Zhang Guan and Bolt, the curve is only part of the game. The adjustment of the next curve into the straight and the sprint after entering the straight are all important for the 200-meter race. It is a very crucial point.

Zhang Guan can feel that Bolt is fast, and he believes that Bolt can also feel that he is fast. In terms of cornering skills, a player like Bolt whose main event is the 200-meter event is indeed very strong, but Zhang Guan knows that Bolt's strength in the 200-meter event is not the front corner, but the back. Sustained sprint ability.

However, Zhang Guan's strength is also in the final sprint.

The players are about to enter the straight, and their rankings will be announced soon.

"Zhang Guan, Bolt, enter the straight immediately! Who is faster? Who is in front! Oh! Both of them are neck and neck!"

I have something to do during the day, and it's even later, sorry!
