Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 197 Believe in Wen Hao, Wen Hao is the pride of us Chinese!

On June 6, the 15 IAAF Golden League season officially started at the Bislet Stadium in Oslo.

As the host venue for the Oslo leg of the IAAF Golden League, Bislet is Norway's most internationally renowned stadium.

In the more than 15 years since it was first built, this stadium has witnessed the birth of 50 world speed skating records and world track and field records!

Today, track and field fans all over the world have focused their attention on Oslo, looking forward to a heart-tugging speed showdown.

In fact, as early as June 6, when Asafa Powell and Wen Hao appeared at Oslo International Airport, sports news media around the world began to vigorously promote it.

Asafa Powell, as the current world record holder in the men's 100-meter event and a sprint superstar who has won the top three best results in history, any of his games touches the hearts of countless track and field fans.

Wen Hao, as the "Chinese Tiger", "Oriental Lion" and "Red Lightning" who rose rapidly in the 2006 season and wrote the miracle of the yellow race and the miracle of Asia, his every move also carries the expectations of countless people.

In terms of results alone, Wen Hao seems to have a considerable gap with Asafa Powell. There is a full 9 second difference between 88 seconds and 9 seconds. This is completely crushed in the 77-meter racing event. situation.

However, in relevant TV and online discussions in recent days, some experts pointed out that if Asafa Powell has not grown compared to the 2006 season, then Wenhao actually has the strength to challenge or even defeat him.

Everything stems from that gun - super wind speed of 9 seconds 74!

If you speak well, laymen will watch the excitement, while experts will watch the door.

9.74（+2.3），如果换算一下硬实力，似乎也不比阿萨法·鲍威尔的雅典9.77（+1.6）、伦敦9.77（+1.5）差。

As for Powell’s 2006 (+9.77) at the 1.0 Lausanne Super Grand Prix, although the wind speed was smaller than those two shots, the altitude was still 600 meters.

Altitude also has a great influence on the performance of track and field sports. For example, the first 10-meter time in human history to break 1968 seconds was created at the 2300 Mexico City Olympics (elevation meters).

In that Olympic Games, the results in middle and long-distance running events were generally worse than those in plain areas, but the results in short-distance events and throwing events were generally better than those in plain areas.

Because the higher the altitude, the thinner the air density, the smaller the air resistance.

Therefore, rational analysis shows that Powell in the 2006 season is really no better than Wen Hao now.

But theory is theory and practice is practice.

It’s up to the competition to decide which one of them is stronger!

"Hey! Amazing Chinese boy, are you ready to defeat Powell and become the world's number one?"

In the warm-up field, Olusoki Fasuba, who had "never met" Wen Hao before, greeted him with a smile when they were preparing to conduct starting warm-up exercises together.

In fact, at the Athens Super Grand Prix on July 7 last year, Wen Hao had the opportunity to play against Fasuba.

At that time, they were divided into two different preliminary groups and did not meet. Then Wenhao hit his physiological limit because he ran 9 seconds at super wind speed, so he chose to withdraw from the finals.

"You really think highly of me." Wen Hao glanced at Asafa Powell, who was still warming up his hip joint not far away, shrugged and smiled: "If I can perform at my best tonight, I might have a chance."

Fasuba looked like he was just watching the excitement and said in a low voice: "If you ask me, even if your condition is not as good as before, the championship is completely within your reach."

"You don't know yet? Powell injured his knee during winter training. This year he was initially preparing to make his debut at the Doha Super Grand Prix. Because of this incident, he changed the date of his debut several times. It was not until the end of May that he made his debut. Serbia ran a time of 5 seconds 9"

After hearing what Fasuba said, Wenhao finally understood why Powell participated in the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic, but only ran a time of 20 seconds.

Although there was a strong headwind in that game, and Powell did not practice much 200 meters, it should not be difficult for him to run a time similar to Bolt.

So now that you have come to Oslo to participate in the Golden League, do you think you are capable again?

Or did you share the gold award last year, so you want to continue to taste the benefits this year?

"Thank you for the information, Fasuba." Wen Hao patted his arm and joked: "If I win this game, you will have one-third of the credit!"

While laughing, Wenhao and Fasuba completed the starting warm-up exercise.

During this period, Wen Hao also carefully observed Asafa Powell's warm-up situation and found that he was indeed a little out of shape.

However, he will not relax in the slightest because of this, nor will he arbitrarily believe that Asafa Powell has become a "sick cat".

Showing weakness to the enemy is not a tactic that only the Chinese can use.

What's more, even if Powell is out of shape, can he relax?

Even if there is no Powell in this game, Wen Hao has already made up his mind to give his best.

The higher the level of the event and the better the results, the more potential the system attribute panel will have. Wen Hao has long concluded this rule.

If he just had to face Tyson Gay or Asafa Powell, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

It is a scientific and sustainable way to develop by letting go in games that can ensure the championship, in order to reduce the loss of one's physical skills and avoid injuries.

But, time waits not for us!

Wen Hao knows very well that he is only 19 years old now, and he will only be 20 years old next year. Normally, he still has at least two or three years of growth, and his true physical golden age will not be until 2010.

However, Bolt's golden age was only 08 and 09.

After missing these two years, at least in his memory of his previous life, there would no longer be such a strong enough opponent to compete with him.

After resurrecting his life, if he couldn't even defeat the ultimate boss head-on, Wen Hao felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

So in every subsequent game, whether it was the Golden League or the Grand Prix, he made up his mind to face it with all his strength.

The best thing is to win the game. Even if you really lose, you still have to run a good enough result.

Because only in this way can he accumulate enough potential and improve his basic attributes to a level that is enough to compete head-on with the peak Bolt before the Yanjing Olympics and Berlin World Championships!

June 6, cloudy, northeasterly wind level 15.

At 15:55 in the afternoon, as a hostess holding a sign with [100M] entered the venue, the most watched men's 100m event in the Oslo Golden League also officially kicked off.

The reason why the competition is not held in the evening is because Oslo has a relatively high latitude. Even in summer, the night temperature can drop below 10°C.

Of course, considering the latitude of Oslo, if we really have to wait until the evening to play the game, it will have to be after 21 o'clock.

Therefore, holding sports competitions in the afternoon when the temperature is suitable is the most suitable for the climate of Oslo.

Before the eight athletes of the men's 100-meter event came on stage, the audience's expectations were already high. Especially in the just-concluded women's 5000-meter race, Ethiopian athlete Meseret Defar set a new world record with a time of 14 minutes, 16 seconds and 63 seconds!

With the atmosphere driven by Meseret Defar, people are naturally more looking forward to the upcoming men's 100-meter flying competition.

One is the world record holder, sprint superstar Asafa Powell, who has run 9 seconds three times.

One is the "Oriental Lion" Wen Hao, who ran the fastest speed in human history under full wind speed conditions.

Under the publicity of the media, their duel seems to have transcended countries and races, and their only goal is to hit a new world record!

Paris and Oslo are in the same time zone. Normally at this time, the members of the Chinese men's relay team should be hanging out and having fun.

But after lunch, all the members stayed in the dormitory with a tacit understanding. When the time came, they turned on the TV in the living room on the first floor, prepared snacks and fruits, and watched the live broadcast of the game together.

"Coach, do you think Wen Hao can win this game?"

After seeing Wen Hao appear on the stage, Zhang Peimeng quickly swallowed the orange slices in his mouth. When he heard the bursts of cheers from the TV, he felt very envious in his heart.

"Theoretically speaking, Wen Hao's chance of winning is not small, and it can even reach a 50-50 chance." Li Qing shook his head slightly after finishing speaking. He didn't know if he thought his "50-50 chance" was unconvincing.

"Wen Hao has been training with me for so long, and I still know very well how good his competitive state can be. As long as he is not injured, Ling Feng can now run within 9 seconds and 90 seconds, which is already within reach for him. .”

"As for Powell, judging from his previous two games, he seems to be a little out of shape, but who knows whether he will suddenly regain his form after being stimulated by Wen Hao?"

Li Qing analyzed it carefully, but the young team members didn't seem to listen.

Because there seems to be no difference between saying this and not saying it.

They all know that the gap between Wen Hao's current personal strength and Asafa Powell is very small.

Basically, whoever is in better on-the-spot condition will win.

Do we want to hear your rational analysis?

We want to hear the conclusion that Wen Hao has a better chance of winning!

The only one who agreed with Li Qing's idea was probably Su Bingtian, the youngest member of the team. He drank a cup of tea and said: "Brother Hao's acceleration at the start makes me feel unstable. I don't feel as stable as Powell."

"No, no, no!" Liang Jiahong took a bite of beef jerky and said while chewing: "Believe in Wen Hao, Wen Hao is the pride of us Chinese! No matter what the situation, we have to believe in him, you know he can create miracles, right? "

I don’t know if it was the void induction, but when Liang Jiahong said these words, Wen Hao, who was at the Bislet Stadium in Oslo, suddenly sneezed.

"Damn, who is cursing me at this time?"

After rubbing his nose and seeing the photographer approaching, Wen Hao immediately changed his attitude and performed a "tiger pounces on food" movement, which caused a burst of warm cheers from the audience.

After the camera moved away, he raised his head and looked around.

This was the first real match between him and Asafa Powell, and as his fame grew, the game also received many labels from the media.

Among the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, many were his fans or supporters.

After its release, "Shape of You" not only topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the United States, but also topped the charts in many countries such as the UK UK chart, the Australian ARIA chart, and the Canadian Billboard chart, and Norway is no exception.

Yesterday, the Norwegian NRK TV station conducted a telephone interview with ticket-buying audiences and found that the proportion of Wen Hao fans among the interviewed audiences was as high as 60%!

And more than half of the viewers said that they first knew Wen Hao as a "singer" from the music field, and only after searching for his information on the Internet did they know that he was a sprinter.

The reason why I bought tickets to watch the Oslo Golden League is because Wen Hao rarely "does business" as a singer, so he "is not allowed" to do it.

At the press conference yesterday afternoon, when a reporter from NRK TV mentioned this phenomenon, Wen Hao responded like this:

"Maybe my fans did prevent some people who really love track and field from buying tickets, but I think this is not a bad thing. The organizers can get more income, the track and field competition can get more heat and attention, and the athletes can They may also be able to get more appearance fees as a result.”

"And I believe that after they witness the wonderful performance of the athletes with their own eyes, they will definitely change from passers-by to track and field fans. Isn't this a good thing that everyone is happy with?"

With his personal influence, he can lead more people to pay attention to track and field sports, sprints, and 100 meters. Wen Hao thinks this is really cool!

"On Your Marks!"

After the pre-race introduction session, the starter quickly issued instructions to prompt the players to take their positions.

All eyes are focused on lanes 4 and 6.

These two runways belong to Powell and Wen Hao respectively!

As the players took their seats, the stadium gradually became quiet.

Asafa Powell squatted on the starting block, his thick nostrils opening and closing with his breathing, and distracting thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

The "information" provided by Fasuba to Wen Hao was accurate.

During a strength training session in March, Asafa Powell did suffer an injury to his knee cruciate ligament due to irregular training movements, and he has not been able to fully recover until now.

Although his knee injury has not healed, for Asafa Powell, who is aiming to win the gold medal at the World Championships in Osaka, he really can no longer put off the current game.

He spends a lot of money every year on training, physical therapy, and enjoyment. He needs to earn appearance fees and bonuses through competitions in order to support himself and the team.

And before the World Championships in Osaka, he also needs to play a certain number of games to hone his newly acquired skills.

As for Wenhao, Asafa Powell knew clearly that he wanted to challenge himself, but he didn't care that much.

I already got the golden award last year. It was just a golden league, so I gave it to me. Anyway, it was not the World Championships, let alone the Olympics.

As for Wenhao being able to break the world record, Asafa Powell feels that although it is possible, it should not happen so soon.

The wind is not strong today.

Want to break my world record without the blessing of a strong tailwind?

Young man, you are still a little green!

　The outline was revised today, so only this chapter is updated

　　To explain, I plan to delete the role of Elena, because according to the previous outline, this character will occupy a lot of the plot in the future, but I really don’t have the energy to continue to create an original character.
