Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 195 Please call me Headwind War God!

After this 200-meter duel completely entered the straight, the feeling of facing the wind became even stronger.

The west coast of the United States has southerly or southwesterly winds prevailing in June. Usually the wind force is level 6 to 2, and the climate is very pleasant.

But even if there is only level 2 wind force, the wind speed can reach 1.6~3.3m/s.

Wind speed has a great impact on athletes' performance in track and field events, and is also the most important objective factor.

That’s why the IAAF sets +2.0m/s as the legal wind speed threshold. When the competition wind speed exceeds this threshold, the athletes’ results will only retain their rankings and cannot be used for any record declaration.

Therefore, for track and field events, when the wind speed reaches ±1.0m/s or above, it can be called a "big tailwind/headwind".

But now, Wen Hao really felt the biggest headwind racing he had ever experienced in his career.

There was a headwind in the air, and coupled with the wind-breaking effect when a person was running fast, he immediately felt like his face was being blown away.

Fortunately, his hair was kept relatively short during the competition. If he had long hair like Liu Xiang, he would look like this at this time:

The feeling of running against the wind is very uncomfortable, and Wenhao is not the only one who feels this way.

Just like Bolt, he is the tallest player in this game, and it is more difficult to break the wind.

In addition, his current personal strength has not fully grown up, and he is really unable to face this big headwind on the court.

Under the strong wind, just a moment after exiting the corner, Bolt's figure suddenly seemed to pause, and in the blink of an eye, the gap was widened by Wen Hao and Xavier Carter on both sides.

In an instant, the nature of this game seemed to have changed. As expected, Wen Hao and Xavier Carter were next to have a strong showdown on the straight.

But... there is a sudden change on the field again!

110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters.

At the moment of exiting the corner, Xavier Carter was clearly on the same level as Wen Hao.

But after completely entering the straight line, Wen Hao's feet seemed to be equipped with nitrogen accelerators, and the speed suddenly increased by one gear.

After only 20 meters, Xavier Carter was thrown away by half a body!

Judging from the visual effects seen by the naked eye, Wen Hao's performance seems to be speeding up, but this is obviously not in line with the laws of human body mechanics.

In fact, it's not that Wen Hao has increased his speed, but that he maintains his speed better than Xavier Carter!

In the range of 110 to 130 meters, Wen Hao's two 10-meter times were both 0.92 seconds. It can be said that there was no slowdown at all.

反观泽维尔·卡特，他的110~130米区间的两个10米分段用时是0.93、0.94，比文浩多了0.03秒，可不就是被拉开了半个身位的差距么？

After taking a quick glance at Xavier Carter when exiting the corner, Wen Hao was no longer distracted and focused his body and mind entirely on the track in front of him.

The feeling of running against the wind is very uncomfortable. If any technical detail is to be performed as perfectly as when there is a calm wind or a tailwind, it will require more energy to complete.

But think about it on the other hand, if the technical details can be perfected even in strong headwinds, wouldn't it be easier to run in calm or tailwind races in the future?

With this thought, Wen Hao felt that his whole body was excited, and his competitive state improved to a higher level!

run!

Just run like this!

Xavier Carter experienced a feeling of powerlessness and even despair.

He is very eager to prove himself in this game, and he is extremely eager to defeat Wen Hao head-on.

Why is it that even though I have the second fastest time in history, my endorsement fee is a full 100 million less than him? !

He wanted to use his victory to personally say something to Nike—see? I am no worse than this Chinese!

But at this moment, his idea was shattered.

After entering the straight stage, he found that he was quickly separated by Wen Hao.

If it were 2006, Xavier Carter would certainly not have had the slightest mental fluctuation, because he was very clear about his technical characteristics - not starting fast enough, accelerating over a long distance, and the top speed was not high enough.

But his speed endurance ability, after running the second fastest time in history of 19 seconds 63, is already second only to Michael Johnson in history.

It was precisely because of his terrifying speed endurance that he was able to defeat Tyson Gay, who was rising strongly at the time and ranked first in the world in the 200 meters at last year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix!

But now, the speed endurance ability that he was proud of was defeated head-on by the Chinese boy in front of him. hateful!

If I hadn’t suffered a knee injury due to high-intensity training during winter training,

It's a pity that there is no if in competitive sports!

140 meters, 150 meters, 160 meters.

Xavier Carter's figure had long since disappeared from the corner of his vision, but Wen Hao had not relaxed at all, and he had always been vigilant in his heart.

At last year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix, he witnessed with his own eyes the "X-Men" chased all the way in the last 50 meters and finally defeated Tyson Gay.

What Wen Hao didn't know was that his advantage at this time had become more and more obvious, and he had already surpassed Carter by nearly two body positions.

Under the conditions of a strong headwind and with a knee injury, Xavier Carter was completely unable to perform his super state, which was the second fastest in history, and could only become Wen Hao's background in the game.

Behind Xavier Carter, Bolt is still struggling to maintain his speed.

Although this game was destined to be another "failure", he was not discouraged at all, but was eager to learn something from this game.

He firmly believes that one day in the future, his own era will finally come!

This day will definitely not last long!

170 meters, 180 meters, 190 meters.

The finish line is close at hand.

After knowing that no one could catch up with him, Wen Hao finally relaxed his tense body and mind slightly, opened his arms and hit the finish line.

The audience immediately responded with enthusiastic cheers and applause, especially his fans, who were even more happy for him to win again.

Thinking of Xavier Carter's extremely directed look at him before the game, facing the swarming reporters, Wen Hao suddenly had an idea and clenched his fists to make an "X" shape on his chest.

Aren't you an X-Men?

Don’t you always look like this after winning a game?

Today, I will use your favorite "X" shape to respond to your provocation!

After seeing Wen Hao's actions, the reporters who gathered around to take pictures became even more excited.

They didn't care why Wen Hao did this, they only knew that if this scene was taken, it would definitely become more topical!

As the person involved, Xavier Carter knew very well that Wenhao was responding to his provocation before the game. He was very angry about this and even wanted to beat this guy up at all costs.

Reason prevented his impulsive thoughts at this time, but Xavier Cata was so angry that he couldn't help himself. He couldn't bear such humiliation. He didn't even pay attention to Spielmont's post-game greeting, so he left the field angrily with a red face. .

"Is my behavior insulting him? No, no, no, if he hadn't provoked me before the game, I would never have done this. This is just my response to him."

"I have always respected players with friendly personalities. If you don't believe me, go and interview Crawford, Spearmon or Usain Bolt."

"Especially Crawford, he hasn't beaten me even once since I participated in international competitions last year, but the two of us can become good friends, do you understand what I mean?"

Beside the track and field, Wen Hao was dealing with mixed interviews from the media.

Just above his head, the results of the men's 200-meter race were displayed on the big screen at Hayward Stadium:

1——China——Wen Hao——19.82 AR

2 - United States - Xavier Carter - 20.18

3 – United States – Wallace Spearmon – 20.24

4 – Jamaica – Usain Bolt – 20.27

5 – USA – Sean Crawford – 20.33

6 – Jamaica – Asafa Powell – 20.51

7 – Jamaica – Marvin Anderson – 20.60

8 - United States - Rodney Martin - 20.69

Except for Wen Hao, the results of the other players seemed not to be so ideal.

The biggest reason for this situation is that the wind speed in this game is really too high.
-

2.3m/s!

Please call me the Headwind War God!

19.82 (-2.3m/s), this is a result Wenhao never imagined before coming to Eugene.

Judging from past training data, he clearly knows that he can break the Asian record of 19 seconds, and he also knows that he does have the ability to run into 88 seconds under zero wind speed conditions.

However, the strong PB under the headwind of 2.3m/s really exceeded his expectations.

Wen Hao suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated his endurance and physical fitness.

Whether inside or outside the stadium

　19.82 = 10.45 + 9.37
