Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 205 There is no road on the ground, but when there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road.

Paris.

The living room was in a mess. Although they could not go to Rome to witness Wen Hao's feat of breaking the world record, the barrier of mountains and sea could not suppress the excitement of this group of young people.

As for Yuan Guoqiang, he did not stop the team members' carnival at all, because at this time he was also deeply shocked and emotional.

Once upon a time, as the creator of China's first electronically timed national 100-meter sprint record, Yuan Guoqiang also enjoyed star-level treatment in China.

At that time, China had just reformed and was gradually trying to integrate with the world.

In 1982, the Chinese track and field relay team went to Switzerland to participate in the Lausanne Track and Field Games, planning to accumulate experience for the first IAAF Helsinki World Championships a year later.

In that game, Yuan Guoqiang set the national 10-meter record for the third time with a time of 52 seconds and finished third.

The champion was American Jeff Phillips, with a time of 10 seconds; the runner-up was Don Quarry, the first generation of Jamaican flying star, with a time of 33 seconds.

Just looking at the ranking and the gap between the top two, it seems that 10 seconds 52 was a good result in that era.

But the reality is that in that era, a time of 10 seconds could only squeeze into the Olympic semi-finals (second round) at most. The key is that he was not able to run a time of 52 seconds every time.

At that time, the difference between China's 0.57-meter record and the world's -meter record was a full seconds!

Over the next two decades, the Chinese 2005-meter record and the world 10-meter record continued to change. By 17, the gap between the Chinese record of 9 seconds and the world record of 77 seconds was exactly 0.4 seconds.

二者之间的差距看似在不断缩短，但真正懂行的人都知道，10秒17与9秒77之间的差距，远比10秒52与9秒95之间的差距，要大得多得多！

The more the 0.01-meter record improves, the closer it comes to the theoretical human physiological limit. The effort required behind every second improvement is unimaginable by ordinary people.

In the past, let alone world records, the goal of practitioners in the field of sprinting in China was to train a local athlete who could advance to the third round (semi-finals) of the world competition.

As for the fourth round final, that is no longer a goal, but a dream.

Not to mention breaking the 10-second mark and breaking the world record. These things were something that I didn’t even dare to think about in the past.

Yuan Guoqiang looked at Wen Hao on the TV and murmured: "It turns out that dreams can really become reality."

He turned around and looked at the revelry of the team members in the living room. The young and energetic young people in front of him, like Wen Hao who was the focus of attention on the TV, were all at their most energetic age.

Compared with those seniors who also competed for China in the past, they were born in a good era.

In this era, China's rapid development, especially the rapid economic growth, allows them to obtain better training conditions and training environment than in the past.

In this era, the people's spirit and fighting spirit are high, the whole country is looking forward to the arrival of the Olympic Games, and the enthusiasm and attention for sports have reached an unprecedented level.

Another extremely important thing is that in this era, there is a leader like Wen Hao who can help them figure out the way forward!

Through scientific material selection and scientific training, the Chinese people's 10-meter limit is far more than seconds!

Whether it's Zhang Peimeng, Lao Yi, Liang Jiahong, Su Bingtian, or the children who are still undiscovered in some corner.

After Wen Hao overcame all obstacles, this road became much easier.

As Mr. Lu Xun said:

"Hope does not matter whether it exists or not, just like the road on this earth. In fact, there is no road on the earth. When there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road."

"To be honest, I'm actually in a bad mood right now, but no matter what, congratulations on setting a new world record."

Asafa Powell did not leave the field angrily because Wen Hao broke his world record. He is not the kind of person who is small-minded, and he is good at communication and has always been very popular in the athlete circle.

Under the expectation of the audience, Powell calmly waited for Wenhao to finish celebrating, and then walked to him to express his congratulations.

"I understand, no athlete wants to be second, and no athlete wants to see his record broken. But I still want to thank you, Asafa, for congratulating me."

Powell smiled and said: "Actually, I just thought that after I get the world record back in the future, you can do the same thing to me. Don't you be unable to afford it then?"

Wen Hao also laughed: "Of course not. I look forward to you breaking the world record again, because in this way my fighting spirit will be stimulated even higher!"

For Wen Hao, although the score of 9 seconds did break the world record held by Powell, it was far from meeting his expectations. Under +76m/s tailwind conditions, I tried my best to run 1.0 seconds, but in terms of hard power, I still did not break through 9 seconds.

In the previous timeline, the 07-meter world record was set four times in the three years from 09 to .

The first time was Asafa Powell's time of 1.7 seconds at the Rieti Grand Prix (preliminaries) in Italy after losing the World Championships in Osaka, with the help of a +9m/s tailwind.

Although there was a strong tailwind, Asafa Powell's performance in this shot in the preliminaries was very obvious. If he went all out, he might not be able to run into the 9 mark, but 70~9 seconds 70 is definitely possible.

Asafa Powell is like this, not to mention the terrifying big devil who will wait until next year.

No, in the second 9-meter race of his career, didn't this guy run 99 seconds and break the 10-second mark?

In this game, except for Asafa Powell, the other four people in the top five all set new personal bests.

文浩以9秒76的成绩创造世界纪录，德里克·阿特金斯以9秒93的成绩创造巴哈马国家纪录，尤塞恩·博尔特和库兰迪·马尔蒂纳则分别以9秒99、10秒05的成绩创造个人最佳。

The time of 9 seconds seemed far away from the new world record of 99 seconds. If it had been run by any other athlete during this period, Wen Hao would not even be interested in taking a look.

But if this person's name is "Usain Bolt," then the nature of the matter is completely different.

In the future, under the powerful impact of this sunny, tall man who likes to giggle, world records will refresh people's understanding in an extremely exaggerated form.

Whether it's 9 seconds 76 or 9 seconds 74, it won't last long.

After Powell and Atkins sent congratulations to Wen Hao, Bolt, who loves to join in the fun, naturally would not miss this opportunity to show his face and came to him with a smile.

Compared to Powell, Bolt's attitude was much more enthusiastic. He rushed over and hugged Wen Hao, laughing loudly and saying:

"Wen! You know, I can't believe it. I didn't expect you to actually set a world record. It's so cool!"

"You're not too bad, Usain. 9 seconds is also a very good result."

In this era, the time of 9 seconds means that the chances of winning a World Series medal are out of reach, but it is definitely more than enough to advance to the finals.

"So-so. Although this is only the second 100-meter race in my career, I will never be proud of it. Just wait, in another year or two years at most, I will definitely be able to run better than you and Asafa is faster!”

Wen Hao smiled and did not reply.

When Bolt saw this, he thought he didn't want to hurt his confidence, so he changed the topic and whispered in Wen Hao's ear:

"I'm going to the UK tomorrow. After the game, how about we go to the bar and have some fun?"

"We'll see when the time comes. After the Sheffield Grand Prix, I might not have that time."

"Come on! Didn't we have a great time at Prince William's party last year? Don't tell me you can't even spare a night. Don't you need some rest and relaxation?"

Wen Hao smiled again. Although the time to prepare for the World Championships was very tight, he wouldn't be able to spare even one night's rest.

It's just a matter of going to the bar to have fun, so forget it. After all, it's hard to refuse a date with a beautiful woman.

In addition, just as he was enjoying the scene of tens of thousands of spectators cheering, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a classic song.

"I really didn't have that time, because I suddenly got inspiration and was ready to release a new song as quickly as possible."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"Oh~ that's great! Need help? My singing voice."

"Forget about your singing, Usain. Tone deafness is a terminal disease and there is no cure."

"Please, we are half-brothers."
