Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 128 The Invincible Powell in 2006
  "Please stop for a moment, I really can't do it anymore."

After the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, Zhang Sisterlin lay weakly on top of her boyfriend.

Wen Hao raised his hand and stroked her back, but it didn't take long for him to regain his energy: "Sister Sister Lin"

"Huh?" Zhang Sisterlin responded.

"Well...I'm ready to rest."

Zhang Sisterin was startled, woke up, and said coquettishly: "Are you a monster? This is the third time, why can't you calm down?"

"Hey, be gentle, don't break it."

"Hmph! It's better to break it, so that you don't have to mess around outside!"

"." Wen Hao was silenced for two seconds, and immediately put on a cheeky smile: "Sister Ji Lin, if you can satisfy me at home, I won't have the heart to mess around outside. ?"

"伱" Zhang Sisterin opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but somehow felt that it was somewhat reasonable. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly: "You can make excuses for your stupidity, I don't know. I didn’t owe you anything in my previous life.”

"No one can explain what happened in the past life, but in this life, I must owe you." Wen Hao pulled up the quilt to cover the exposed spring beauty, and hugged the delicate body tightly in his arms.

Zhang Sisterlin snorted: "You know you are in debt, why don't you say something nice to coax me?"

"I'm a stupid person and I don't know how to coax, but I can change the way to make you more comfortable." Wen Hao said and moved up.

"Hey, don't move!" Zhang Jielin pinched the soft flesh around his waist and warned: "I haven't had a good rest yet. Just lie down for me first. I'll be the one to say anything like this from now on." Calculate!"

Wen Hao smiled silently, adjusted slightly, and held her in a more comfortable position.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Zhang Sisterlin lay on his chest, listening to the warm and beating heartbeat, enjoying this warm time.

After a while, Zhang Sisterlin felt that she had rested well, and gradually she felt moved, but she was embarrassed to say it directly, so she asked: "What time is it now?"

Wen Hao tilted his head and glanced at the bedside table.

"It's almost three o'clock."

"It's three o'clock." Zhang Sisterlin pursed her lips, with some anticipation rising in her heart, "It's so late, it's almost time to go to bed."

Zhang Sisterlin originally thought that an experienced driver like Wen Hao would understand what she meant immediately, and then start the shy second half of the activity.

结果
  "Damn it, it's three o'clock!"

Wen Hao turned over, put Zhang Jielin on the bed, and quickly put on clothes: "Sister Jielin, please go to sleep first, I still have a game to watch!"

After saying that, he slipped out of the room, and soon the sound of the TV came from the living room.

"."

After a while, a pillow flew out of the bedroom and accurately hit Wen Hao's head on the sofa in the living room, and a sentence came:

"You can sleep in the living room from tonight on!"

Then there was a "clang" sound, and the bedroom door was slammed shut. I don't know if it disturbed the neighbors upstairs or downstairs.

Wen Hao rubbed his nose and continued to watch the game on the TV.

In the past, CCTV Sports Channel has never broadcast IAAF events other than the Olympic Games and World Championships, even the Golden League or Super Grand Prix in which Liu Xiang participated.

But recently, as Wen Hao has set off a sprint craze in China, more people are paying attention to track and field than before. Coupled with Liu Xiang's influence on the domestic track and field field in recent years, CCTV Sports Channel has also received many public comments one after another. I wrote in the hope that important foreign track and field events could be broadcast.

Tonight's Golden League Brussels station is the first attempt of CCTV Sports Channel. It is also a way to accumulate experience for next month's broadcast of the World Athletics Finals in Stuttgart and the Athens Athletics World Cup.

The only pity is that tonight's commentator is not Yang Jian, who is more popular among domestic track and field fans, but Han Qiaosheng, a veteran who is nearly 50 years old.

Compared with Yang Jian, who has been an athlete and has a certain professional understanding of track and field, Han Qiaosheng lacks much professional knowledge of track and field, but his stream of consciousness style can also well set off and exaggerate the artistic conception of the competition scene. .

Han Qiaosheng's explanation is naturally not Wenhao's focus.

The time was just right. When Wen Hao turned on the TV, the competition was just about to get underway in the men's 100-meter event.

On the starting line, world record holder and Jamaican star Asafa Powell was in lane 5.

The 4th lane on the left is American master Leonard Scott, and the 6th lane on the right is the Athens Olympic runner-up and Portuguese star Obikewelu.

In this game, Asafa Powell seemed more calm because of the lack of his biggest competitor Tyson Gay.

However, Wen Hao feels that even if Tyson Gay does participate in this game, Asafa Powell will not feel any pressure at all.

After all, it is still 2006, and the competition is not the World Championships or the Olympics. As long as it is not on the stage of the World Series (single event), Asafa Powell's mentality is first-rate.

As long as he maintains a good attitude, Asafa Powell can fight even the peak Bolt!
  Soon, the players on the field stepped onto the starting line one after another and got ready to squat.

"Set——"

"boom--!"

There was a slight problem with the starting gun of the game.

However, the problem is not that a player jumped the gun, but that the starter pulled the trigger of the starting gun in almost one second after pronouncing the preparatory command of "Set".

The IAAF has very clear regulations on the firing process for regular track and field events.

Before pulling the trigger, the starter should first ensure that all competitors are in the starting position. Each player has different habits. After hearing the preparatory instructions, some players will quickly raise their waist and hips to get into the starting position, but some players will take a slightly slower pace.

Asafa Powell is the latter.

When the starting gun sounded, Asafa Powell had just positioned himself in the starting position. Before he could fully focus on listening to the gun, the race had already begun.

Starting reaction is 0.229 seconds!
  This is the slowest starting reaction of Asafa Powell in his career so far!
  One week before the start of the Golden League Brussels station, Asafa Powell ran 9 seconds in the Zurich Golden League station, tying his own world record for the second time.

At yesterday's press conference, Asafa Powell told reporters that he has adjusted himself to the best competitive condition. As long as the conditions during the competition are good, he will definitely be able to break the world record!

8月18日的黄金联赛苏黎世站，阿萨法·鲍威尔在+1.0m/s的顺风条件下跑出9秒77，当时他的起跑反应是0.148秒。

两个月前的6月11日，英国盖茨黑德大奖赛，阿萨法·鲍威尔跑出9秒77（+1.5m/s）追平世界纪录，起跑反应是0.145秒。

If Asafa Powell wants to break the world record, he must at least run 9 seconds.

Taking Zurich's starting reaction time of 0.148 seconds as a reference, he needs to improve at least 0.081 seconds in the pure running range to achieve the goal of breaking the world record.

The possibility cannot be said to be impossible. At most, it is only a little higher than the probability of ordinary people winning the 2.2 million lottery jackpot.

If it was a slow start under normal circumstances, that would be fine. If the wind speed is good, Asafa Powell might really have a chance.

But the main reason why his reaction at the start was lagging this time was that the starter fired the gun too fast, giving him almost no time to concentrate and react.

This can be clearly seen from his segmented performance in the first 10 meters.

还是以苏黎世的9.77（+1.0m/s）为例，当时阿萨法·鲍威尔在包含0.148秒起跑反应的前提下，前10米分段用时为1.86秒。

This time, with a slow reaction of 0.229 seconds, his first 10-meter split time reached 2.01 seconds.

Whether it is the starting reaction or the pure running time of the first 10 meters, it is slower than the previous performance when tying the world record.

Unfortunately, the wind speed during the competition was not strong, only +0.3m/s.

Such a small breeze can only move the hair, and it has very little positive effect on the actual performance of the players.

With his super strength, Asafa Powell, who was far behind in the future, finally caught up with Leonard Scott, a promising master on the road, at about 70 meters.

At about 80 meters, I caught up with Marcus Brunson, who was performing well in lane 2. From the last place after starting the gun, he caught up with everyone step by step and achieved the overtake.

In the end, Asafa Powell crossed the finish line with a time of 9 seconds and won the Brussels Championship of the Golden League.

At the moment when he hit the line, Asafa Powell looked slightly ferocious and waved his fist at the camera.

After crossing the line, reporters rushed to Asafa Powell's side. He turned his head and glanced at the starter in the distance, waved his fist in that direction again, and vented his anger.

For Asafa Powell, he came to Brussels with the determination to break the world record, but the starter's rash firing destroyed the conditions for him to achieve his goal.

So how could he not be angry?
  But anger is anger, that is the fact.

Fortunately, he finally won the championship with his super strength and maintained his unbeaten record in the 2006 season.

And so far, Asafa Powell has also won five games in the Golden League:
  June 6, Oslo, Norway, 2 (-9.98m/s);
  July 7, Paris, France, 8 (+9.85m/s);
  July 7, Rome, Italy, 14 (+9.85m/s);
  August 8, Zurich, Switzerland, 18 (+9.77m/s);
  And today, August 8, Brussels, Belgium, 25 (+9.99m/s).

According to the reward rules set by the IAAF, he has won a Golden League bonus of US$12.5.

If he can win the Golden League Berlin next week on September 9, Asafa Powell can share the $3 million "golden prize."

Since the establishment of the Golden League, only four people in men's track and field have participated in sharing the US$4 million "golden award".

分别是1999年的基普凯特（800米）、2001年的布彻（800米）、2002年的奎罗伊（1500米）、2004年的奥尔松（三级跳远）。

So far, in addition to Asafa Powell, those who remain undefeated in the 2006 Golden League include American men's and women's 400-meter champions Varina and Richards, as well as Ethiopia's women's 5000-meter champion Dibaba. .

The "Golden Prize" set by the IAAF Golden League totals US$100 million and is divided into two.

Players who win the championship in the five events can share the prize money of US$50 equally.

If you win the championship in six events, in addition to the previous share of US$50 in bonuses, you can also participate in the second share of US$50 in bonuses.

After watching the game, Wen Hao turned off the TV.

Although the "golden prize" with a total of 100 million US dollars must be divided equally with other players, it also has a certain temptation for him.

In addition to this "golden award", the IAAF will reward players who achieve a certain ranking in each event, and the local organizers of the event will also provide appearance fees of varying amounts according to the "level" of the players.

As for air tickets, food and accommodation, as long as the procedures are complied with, the IAAF will reimburse participating athletes. It can even advance payment for those athletes who do not have money to buy air tickets.

And in addition to bonuses and appearance fees, after athletes achieve good rankings and good results, commercial endorsements will naturally follow.

In a word: As long as you are strong enough, there will be no shortage of money.

However, the 2006 Golden League so far only has the Berlin station on September 9, and the entry list has long been determined, and Wenhao is not involved.

Furthermore, tomorrow he will fly to the UK to complete the vocal recording and MV shooting of "We Are Young" as soon as possible, and then go to the Paris base to train and wait for the arrival of the Athens Athletics World Cup.

And in the subsequent plan, he is also planning to surprise Zhang Damei in Paris. Therefore, even if he can "jump in line" in the last Berlin station of the Golden League, he will not have the time to participate.

Next year, next year for sure!
