Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 227 World! Listen to the cry from China!

"Wenhao, are you ready to win your second World Championship gold medal?"

At 8:30 in the evening of August 19, Liu Xiang, who had finished warming up and was about to leave for inspection, patted Wen Hao on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

In the warm-up field, eyes were often cast on the two of them.

Long before the opening of the Osaka World Championships, Wen Hao and Liu Xiang were one of the most watched star athletes in this World Championships.

They are both from China, and they are of the same yellow race. They also maintain world records in their sports, breaking the monopoly and dominance of European and American black athletes on their sports.

From an athlete's perspective, Wen Hao's status in the sprint field is still lower than Liu Xiang's in the hurdles field.

But in terms of influence, Baimi is truly worthy of the reputation as the "King of Track and Field". Even if Wen Hao removes the blessing of his identity as a singer, he is definitely the most influential track and field athlete of this era.

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" Wen Hao smiled and punched Liu Xiang on the arm. "Don't talk about me yet. You guys have a good run in the semi-finals and give me a try!"

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. We have to go for inspection. Come on!" Liu Xiang gave a thumbs up to Wenhao and Zhang Wenxiu beside him, then he held Shi Dongpeng in one hand and Xing Yan'an in the other, and strode towards the Walk in the direction of the inspection office.

After the trio of 110-meter hurdles left, Wen Hao chatted with Zhang Wenxiu for a while. He didn't start warming up until Zhang Wenxiu also left the warm-up field to check in.

There are a total of 5 athletes in the Chinese track and field team tonight. Liu Xiang, Shi Dongpeng, and Xing Yanan in the men's 110-meter hurdles take the lead. Zhang Wenxiu in the women's hammer throw is in the midfield. Wen Hao in the men's 200-meter hurdles is the finale.

During the warm-up process, it was inevitable that he would catch sight of Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt, but Wen Hao restrained himself and did not come forward to talk.

I remember that in his previous life, Bolt said in his documentary that before the men's 2015m final of the 100 Yanjing World Championships, when Justin Gatlin met his eyes during the warm-up, he would always say hello and express his feelings. Have a relaxed look on your face.

No matter what Justin Gatlin's purpose is, in Bolt's eyes, his series of actions are a sign of lack of confidence.

Later, as Bolt expected, after a strong season, Justin Gatlin, who was hailed as the most likely to defeat the "God", actually got into chaos in the last 20 meters of the final, and finally won by a weak margin of 0.01 seconds. Disadvantage loses the game.

Wen Hao is quite confident now, but he has no intention of making any moves to disturb his opponent's mentality.

Tyson Gay is not the kind of person who can be swayed by his opponent's simple words and deeds. He has an extremely tough mind. If he does that, it may be counterproductive and make his fighting spirit even more passionate and unyielding.

As for Bolt, based on their original friendship, they shouldn't have been so estranged.

But people always have to grow up, and as things develop and time goes by, the relationship between them may become more complicated and tense.

Maybe one day when they attend the same event outside the stadium, they may not necessarily add "sir" to each other's names.

"Nice throw! Zhang Wenxiu was directly promoted to first place with 74 meters! 』

"Now the pressure is on Handler and Moreno. One is the European Championship champion, and the other is the triple crown winner of the World Championships in Edmonton, Paris and Helsinki. These two famous players are now suppressed by Zhang Wenxiu. One thing, is it possible that the Chinese women’s hammer throw will also make history? ! 』

The time came to 21:30 in the evening, Osaka time, and the curtain of late night shrouded the neon Kansai city, but the Nagai Land Arena in Higashisumiyoshi Ward was still brightly lit and as bright as day.

In the previous match that lasted for an hour and a half, Shi Dongpeng and Liu Xiang qualified for the finals, while Xing Yanan was eliminated in the semifinals due to lack of strength.

In the men's 5000m preliminaries, Bekele advanced easily, while Kipchoge performed brilliantly.

In the men's long jump final, Panamanian star Saladino defeated Italian star Andrew Milliwe and American star Dwight Phillips with a score of 8 meters. He won the championship and set a national record for Panama and a South American record (international record). This is how the Athletics Federation divides them).

The other events were also exciting, until the eight contestants of the men's 200-meter finals entered the field, and the women's hammer throw final was finally decided.

German star Betty Hedler defeated Cuban star and triple world champion Ipsy Moreno to be crowned the women's hammer throw champion at the Osaka World Championships with a score of 74 meters.

Chinese player Zhang Wenxiu won a historic bronze medal in the women's hammer throw at the World Series with a score of 74 meters.

After the live broadcast camera stayed in the hammer throw area for a few minutes, the screen flashed, and a list containing track numbers, athlete numbers, nationalities, names and other information appeared in the camera. The men's 200-meter final that track and field fans around the world had been waiting for had finally begun. The prologue.

In the spectator seats, Liu Xiang, Shi Dongpeng, and Xing Yanan, the three members of the Chinese track and field team who came to the Changju Land Arena to compete tonight, had already waved the five-star red flag and cheered for Wen Hao, who was about to appear.

For a long time, the 200 meters had a somewhat humble status among the most popular sprint events, and was regarded as a subsidiary of the 100 meters and 400 meters.

There has even been a bizarre statement that "only 100-meter and 400-meter runners who are not competitive enough will run the 200-meter race."

But once a star athlete with enough influence appears, things will naturally change.

In the men's 400-meter event at this year's World Championships, the one with the highest claim to win the championship is the American star Jeremy Varina, who is a junior from the same school as Michael Johnson.

However, he does not have a world record after all, and his performance on the field is far behind his senior brother Michael Johnson. Therefore, the influence of the men's 400 meters in this world championship is not small, but it is not much greater. .

The men's 200 meters is different. First, Tyson Gay ran the second fastest time in history of 19 seconds at the US Championships, which earned him high praise from Michael Johnson and sparked a heated discussion.

而后是昨天晚上的男子200米半决赛上，100米世界纪录保持者、大阪世锦赛男子100米世界冠军文浩，竟然以一个相当轻松的状态跑出19秒78，打破了迈克尔·约翰逊保持12年之久的世锦赛纪录。

In just one day, people's views on the men's 200-meter final changed from "who has a higher chance of winning, Wen Hao or Guy" to "whether Wen Hao can break the world record."

As a result, the ticket sales of the Nagai Land Arena tonight were once again sold out, which shocked the Osaka organizers and the International Association of Athletics Federations.

This is the effect of a superstar!
In the 200-meter starting area, Wen Hao, who was well prepared, still did not "settle down". From time to time, he gestured and smiled at the nearby spectators, seemingly without any psychological pressure.

Tyson Gay and Bolt, who are located on his right front side, are in a completely different state.

Usain Bolt still performed the same as in the semi-finals. The huge gap in strength made him lose his usual optimism and fun. From the moment he entered the competition to now, he has always looked glum. .

Tyson Gay also behaved very quietly, but his state was not as pessimistic as Bolt's. Instead, there was a fire in his eyes, as if the blazing fighting spirit was about to burst out in the next moment. out.

Soon, the screen switched again, and Yang Jian followed the live broadcast and began to introduce the players on the field to the domestic audience:

"Road 2, American player Rodney Martin, he is the third place in this year's National Trials, with a personal best time of 20 seconds. 』

"Lane 3, Christopher Williams of Jamaica. He was the 2001m runner-up at the 200 World Championships in Edmonton. His personal best time was 20 seconds, but that was in 02. His time this year The best time is 2000 seconds. 』

The response from the first two players was mediocre. In fact, unless they were very senior track and field fans, even Williams, who had won a silver medal at the World Championships, very few people had heard of his name.

But soon, before the camera had completely shifted and the host of the competition had not yet opened his mouth to introduce, there was a burst of quite warm cheers, and the popularity gap was immediately obvious.

The camera turned and Wen Hao's figure appeared on the big screen.

I saw him taking a step forward, his hands turned into claws at his waist, as if he was accumulating strength.

Seeing him make this move, the neon audience at the scene immediately cheered enthusiastically, and then saw Wen Hao shouting to the camera:
"Ka-me-ha-me-ha!"

The last three syllables were shouted out by almost the entire audience who had watched "Dragon Ball", following Wen Hao's rhythm.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the world, and for a moment the host was completely confused.

What's going on?
Is this a Dragon Ball fan meeting or a world championship?

But one thing to say, after Wen Hao inspired the atmosphere at the scene, the audience's reaction became obviously more enthusiastic, which is also a good thing.

And Wen Hao's scene that pays tribute to the "Turtle Style Qigong" in "Dragon Ball" will probably become popular on the Internet soon, making his popularity even higher, especially gaining more neon fans.

"Track 4 - China - Wen Hao - the creator of a new record in the World Championships! 』

After a brief pause, the host introduced Wen Hao enthusiastically, followed by another loud cheer that swept across the audience like a huge wave.

Then the camera continues to switch.

"Lane 5, this is the talented boy from Jamaica, Usain Bolt, who became the youngest champion in the history of the World Youth Championship in 2002 when he was not yet 16 years old! He also officially became the national record holder of Jamaica this year, with a personal best time of 19 seconds. In the semi-finals, he chased Wen Hao and ran a good time of 75 seconds. He is also a very strong player. 』

The timeline has quietly changed again.

Previously, Wenhao's influence on Bolt was only reflected in the 100-meter event, which enabled Bolt to participate in the first 100-meter race of his career a year ahead of schedule, and also ran a time of 9 seconds at this year's Golden League Rome station. Good results.

But last night, Bolt, who was supposed to easily advance to the finals with a time of 20 seconds or so, was driven by Wen Hao and ran to 0 seconds.

"Lane 6, this is U.S. champion Tyson Gay. He ran the second fastest time in history this year, 19 seconds. He is the strongest opponent Wen Hao needs to face tonight. Between him and Wen Hao The showdown is also anticipated by countless track and field fans. 』

Tyson Gay's performance was extremely calm and was not affected by the momentum caused by Wen Hao. He just sat on the number stool and waited until the host read his name, then waved and greeted the audience, and then I was immersed in my own world again.

"Lane 7 is also a player from the United States, Helsinki World Championships runner-up Wallace Spearmon. His personal best time is 19 seconds 65, currently ranked fifth in history. 』

"Lane 8 is Marvin Anderson from Jamaica. In this year's Jamaican Championships, his personal best time was 20 seconds in the semi-finals. 』

"Lane 9 is Kurandi Martina, from the Netherlands Antilles, a small island country with a population of only 20. He reached the 20-meter final four days ago. His personal best score in this event is 20 seconds, and he was created in the semi-finals. He is also a very potential multi-sport expert."

In the spectator seats, Toda Erika, Aragaki Yui, and Higa Aimue sat side by side, watching this focused battle together.

When they saw Wen Hao performing the "Turtle Style Qigong" movements as promised, the three women excitedly cheered and screamed along with the audience.

It wasn't until the camera switched that Yui Aragaki poked Erika Toda next to her and said with envy: "What a foul. I obviously made a request to Wenjun, why did he only use the one from you?"

Before Erika Toda spoke, Higa Aimo couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "You still have the nerve to say that you want a man like Fumiko to imitate Sailor Moon. How shameless does he have to be to agree? ?”

Now Aragaki Yui had nothing to say, she pouted and hung up the soy sauce bottle.

Erika Toda rolled her eyes and said with a sly smile: "Although Wenjun did not agree to your request, your Sailor Moon wish cannot be fulfilled."

"Red bean paste? Please teach me Erika!"

"It's very simple, you just need to..." Erika Toda leaned into her ear and whispered something.

Higa Aimue, who was sitting on the left side of Aragaki Yui, was very curious because their whispers were so quiet that she couldn't hear them clearly. But the strange thing was that after Aragaki Yui listened, her whole face turned red as if covered with a layer of red. Sunset.

But after all, she is the eldest sister in the iron triangle of friendship. After thinking about it for a while, Higa Aimue also had a blush on her face.

"On Your Marks!" After a brief wait, the voice of everyone taking their seats sounded in the venue.

The clamor in the stadium quickly fell silent after this moment.

Wen Hao stepped onto the starting line, but he did not immediately bend down and squat down. Instead, he glanced at the main competitor in front of him on his right.

On Lane 5, Usain Bolt quickly squatted on the starting block, then knelt on one knee, straightened his upper body, and crossed himself devoutly on his chest to salute God.

On Lane 6, Tyson Gay remained the same, taking a deep breath and praying for himself with his hands pointing to the sky.

They are all people with their own religious beliefs. They always pray habitually before doing any major things, praying for God's blessing.

Not Wen Hao. No matter in his past life or in this life, he has never had such a need to place his own faith.

He only knows that on the path he has firmly chosen after rebirth, any thorns that stand in his way will be cut off by him one by one!

No matter the strong wind or huge waves, nothing can stop him from moving forward!
In tonight's final, his opponents are of course Bolt and Tyson Gay, but in addition there is the legend who set the world record of 11 seconds 19 32 years ago - Michael Johnson!
Regardless of whether he has enough ability or not, tonight he will strive towards 19 seconds and towards the mountain of Michael Johnson.

For this, he has made sufficient preparations in advance:——
Name: Wen Hao

Age: 19 years old (1988.05.08)

Occupation: Track and field (sprint) athlete
Power: 91
Stamina: 91→93
Speed: 90
Physical fitness: 91
Flexibility: 91
Responses: 94
Potential value: 247.3%→47%——
I heard you Michael Johnson is the king of speed?
In this case, I will beat Sunai to the limit first!

"Set——"

The sound of "get ready" made the eight athletes on the field react immediately. They raised their waists and hips and quickly got into the starting position.

At the same time, the quietest moment came in the stadium. Every spectator closed their mouths and held their breath in unison, creating a good listening environment for the players. At the same time, their eyes did not blink for a moment. , for fear of missing the passionate moment of firing.

"Snapped--!"

The crisp sound of the starting gun resounded throughout the entire venue in an instant!

15 milliseconds after the gunshot sounded, the gunshot signal was transmitted to Wen Hao's ears through the air;

At 23 milliseconds, the auditory system sends a signal to the central nervous system of the brain;

60 to 68 milliseconds, the central nervous system sends signals to the distal muscles of the limbs;
From 72 to 88 milliseconds, the distal muscle groups start to exert force one after another, and the starting block officially begins to bear the pressure exerted by the "starting" movement;

At 135 milliseconds, Wen Hao's pressure on the starting block reached 25kg, completing the "starting reaction".

At this time, the players' starting reaction data quickly popped up on the big screen in the stadium. Wen Hao's time of 0.135 seconds was impressively ranked first!

Usain Bolt’s starting reaction time is 0.176 seconds, ranking fifth;

Tyson Gay's starting reaction was 0.168 seconds, ranking fourth.

In comparison, Rodney Martin, Marvin Anderson, and Williams all have faster starting reactions than them.

However, after careful calculation, in fact, the starting reactions of Bolt and Tyson Gay were only 0.041 and 0.033 seconds slower respectively.

Compared with Wen Hao's slow reaction of more than 100 seconds behind Tyson Gay and Powell in the 0.07-meter final, it is still much better.

The starting gun sounded, and the players on the field began to sweep across the track like eight whirlwinds.

Wen Hao's start is extremely fast. Although his 200-meter running method is late-stroke, if the start-up acceleration part of the curve is not done well, and the subsequent running rhythm cannot be achieved in the middle, it will be in vain.

Many spectators at the scene and in front of the TV cheered as the starting gun was fired, and soon became surprised by the details in the game screen.

After just five steps, Wen Hao started up with a very strong visual effect, clearly catching up with the players on the outer lane and throwing away the players on the inner lane.

At the 200-meter starting line, there is a reach gap of 3.77 meters between each lane, but after only 5 steps, the gap between Wen Hao and Usain Bolt in lane 5 is only Less than 3 meters!
Williams, who is an insider, said that although he once won the runner-up at the World Championships in Edmonton, his personal best time was not even within 20 seconds, and he was still a 200-meter athlete with a start-up acceleration ability. There is naturally a huge difference between this piece and Wen Hao.

Although Bolt, who is on the outside, has a personal best of 19 seconds, he has not officially started the 75-meter event after all, and his starting technique is still very rough.

30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters.
After starting, Wen Hao accelerated without reservation, and after entering the mid-running stage, he had no subjective thoughts about controlling the distribution of physical strength.

Through the feeling brought about by the 19 seconds 78 shot in the semi-finals last night, he is convinced that through the system's emphasis on adding points, which has reached 93 points of [Endurance Attribute], he will be able to guarantee that he will be able to exert full output in the future. , still able to maintain excellent speed endurance in the later stages.

Just go all the way to the end!
"Game start! Wen Hao's starting reaction was the fastest in the race! His start-up acceleration was also very strong, and he had already surpassed Bolt on the outside after 50 meters! 』

60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters.
In this stage, there are no marking lines on the track for reference. The audience can only judge which player is leading and which player is lagging behind on the field by the positions of the players.

At this time, the spectators on the field, especially those near the second half of the 200-meter curve, who could clearly judge the positions of the contestants, were already cheering and shouting as hard as they could.

They saw very clearly: On the track at this time, Wen Hao had already pulled away from Bolt in lane 5 by one length, and was about to catch up with Tyson Gay in lane 6!
When there is still one-third of the distance to the bend, how can we not be excited when such a visual effect is presented to us? !

At this moment, what countless spectators are shouting in their mouths and hearts is no longer "championship" and "gold medal", but the "world record" that can symbolize crossing time and space and climbing mountains!

From Bolt's perspective, even though he had tried his best to speed around the curve, he still could only watch Wen Hao in the inner lane keep "moving away" from him.

This was something he had never experienced before in a 200-meter race.

Under normal circumstances, he often overtakes his competitors in the first 100 meters, then continues to expand his lead before 150 meters, and then relies on willpower to top in the last 50 meters.

Therefore, when facing opponents such as Spearmon and Xavier Carter, who tend to be extreme late-range opponents, he basically lost the game with a kill in the last 50 meters or even the last 20 meters.

Facing a relatively balanced player like Tyson Gay, Bolt usually keeps pace with him in the corners. After entering the straight, he is quickly left behind. In the last 50 meters, he is able to maintain his position without being further pulled away. gap.

Until last night's semi-finals, Wen Hao was still the first player in his career who could overtake him from the inside before 90 meters.

But considering his status as the 100-meter world record holder, he also expected it, but he didn't expect that Wen Hao, who competed last night, was not at full strength in the corners.

You can surpass Wen Hao after 50 meters. How strong are you? !
Also frightened is Tyson Gay in Lane 6.

He also envisioned that after entering the straight, he would have to do his best to show his best condition and grit his teeth to compete for the 200-meter gold medal.

But he didn't expect that just at a position of 80 meters, Wen Hao had already reached his side that he could observe from the corner of his vision.

He could already imagine what would happen next.

But no matter what, he is extremely eager to defeat Wen Hao on the 200-meter track, which he is better at. He does not want to taste failure again!

"Wen Hao continues to chase forward!" He is getting closer to Tyson Gay! The advantage he gained in the corners became more and more obvious, and then - entering the straights was his world! 』

90 meters, 100 meters, 110 meters.
Curve into the straight!
At this time, all the spectators had their eyes widened, because the moment at the end of the curve is the best moment to judge the performance of the players on the field. No one wants to miss this detail!
90 meters to the first conspicuous marking line in the 200-meter curve. At this time, Wen Hao and Tyson Gay were almost running side by side.

Wen Hao, who is wearing a red Chinese uniform, and Tyson Gay, who is wearing a white American uniform. The competition between them has already entered a fierce stage ahead of schedule!
But after only four steps, the gap between them was immediately obvious. A red figure was running at the front on the field!

Reaching the 100-meter mark line, the half of the 200-meter race is over. Tyson Gay's time is 10.16 seconds, and Wen Hao's time is 10.13 seconds!
From here we can see how strong Tyson Gay is, especially in the technical ability of corners, because this is his main event, and the 200 meters is Wen Hao's concurrent event.

He had a reaction advantage of 0.033 seconds at the start, but during the 100-meter curve, Tyson Gay was not able to widen the gap at all!

But in the next 100 meters, as Yang Jian said in the commentary box - entering the straight is his world!

After 110 meters, the curve ends!

At the scene, Wen Hao's supporters once again burst into strong cheers, because the man they supported in their hearts had completely left all his opponents behind and was leading the way!
120 meters, 130 meters, 140 meters.
The exciting finals of the men's 200 meters are about to come to the last quarter of the distance. On the field, Wen Hao not only continues to maintain the leading position, but also continues to leave Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt farther and farther behind!
At this time, the atmosphere in the stadium was completely boiling!

Emotions of joy and anticipation filled the sky.

"Be the first to enter the straightaway! Wen Hao went all out and ran fast, he was attacking the limits of human beings! 』

Yang Jian in the commentary box has completely immersed himself in the game. The idea of ​​calling on the domestic audience to treat it rationally before the game has long been forgotten, leaving only the simplest expectations for Wen Hao in his heart.

And this is also the common wish of countless Wenhao fans, and even all track and field fans watching the live broadcast of the Osaka World Championships in the World Championships - to break the world record!
19 second 32!

This world record, which was created by Michael Johnson at the Atlanta Olympics 11 years ago and is known as "unbreakable in forty years", now has the most powerful challenger!
Even if it can't be broken, at least let us see a result that is close enough!
The last 50 meters!
This is the most difficult stage in the 200-meter event. At this time, a large amount of lactic acid has accumulated in the athlete's body. To maintain each technical move, extremely strong speed endurance is required, and it also requires extremely tough endurance.

Bolt has never been good enough at this stage, both due to his running style and, to a certain extent, his scoliosis.

The longer the running distance, the more energy each step needs to be consumed and the greater the burden on the body for athletes with certain physiological "deficiencies" like Bolt.

For Wen Hao, none of this will be a problem, because while the system improves his physical attributes, it will also shape his body to be more perfect!

One day, this increasingly perfect body will be able to defeat any opponent and climb all mountains!
"The last 50 meters!" Wenhao, keep it up! No matter what the outcome of the story is, the world will definitely hear your voice! 』

"Be the first to cross the finish line!" 19 seconds 46! New world championship record! 』

"Wenhao defeated Tyson Gay again and became the double champion of the Osaka World Championships! 』

"Oh world!" Listen to the cry from China! 』

　Originally I wanted to pay tribute to Knighton's 19 seconds 49.

　　But when I turned around and thought about it, I felt that it shouldn’t be.

　　Knighton without cheating can get 19.49,

　　Wen Hao, who has cheated, still costs 19.49.

　　So what's the difference between hanging it and not opening it?

　　However, based on the attribute values ​​of the panel,
　　Still can’t set it too outrageously,

　　So, everyone who understands 19.46 should understand it^.^
