The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1905: Bolt...will he also lack confidence?

London Bowl.

Neither Bolt nor Blake expected that the third person to come out of the corner would not be Dicks.

But neither of them cared about why Deeks didn't come out first. Now they only had eyes for each other.

Bolt thought that he had finally successfully taken a big lead.

What Blake was thinking at this time was...

Great, the lead is not as big as expected.

"Enter Bolt Zone!"

But this sounds now.

It's already somewhat out of date.

Because Bolt's later stages have been clearly determined by the data, it is impossible for him to outrun Blake.

Not to mention Blake in Brussels, even if it was Blake in his previous life, Bolt would not be able to beat him in the later stages.

So now after turning into the straight, the correct explanation should be——

Enter the Blake area.

The Bolt zone is on the curve.

Not on the straights.

Once on the long straight, Bolt's speed was still quite good at first, without slowing down too much.

Even as fast as ever.

But if you look closely enough, you'll find...

Bolt has stopped trying to widen his lead.

That is, although he is still ahead.

But Blake is in a different position from him.

But it was never pulled apart again.

110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters.

Bolt brings a strong visual impact because his running posture has a natural sense of beauty. Most people of his size simply cannot run with such impact.

But generally speaking, people who can run with such impact do not have such height and pace.

This means that when Bolt runs he always gives people a feeling of being invincible.

You are similar to former 200m Olympic champion Crawford, who had such a feeling when he ran with Bolt -

Run with him.

You'd better not try too hard.

Because the harder you work.

The further behind you will be.

You will become less confident.

This statement was perfectly valid before 2011, because at that time no one thought that Bolt would be able to break the world record to less than 19 seconds.

At that time, everyone thought it was not easy for Bolt to surpass Michael Johnson. After all, it seemed that he did not slack off too much in the 200 meters at the Bird's Nest in the Beijing Olympics.

Little did he know that when he arrived in Berlin, he had completed super evolution again.

In one go, he pushed the world record to 19+.

At this time, no matter who runs with Bolt, they will not have the confidence.

I don't even want to work hard.

Because it is true that the harder you work, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

For most people, a time of 19 seconds is considered an excellent result. Asking them to chase a player who can run 80+ seconds is beyond doubt.

If you run like this, there must be something wrong if the rhythm isn't completely lost.

Whether it's 100 meters or 200 meters, the person running in front always has the best rhythm. Generally speaking, the further behind you are, the easier it is for your state and rhythm to be affected by others.

The fluctuation and disruption of this rhythm will become more obvious as you fall further behind.

Therefore, the more inaccessible something is, the more difficult it is to approach it.

Even the strongest Dicks can only run 19+ seconds. It's hard to catch up with him...

Everyone has seen what the outcome was.

Mills thought that Bolt would also be smooth sailing until he entered the normal decline of his career.

For a long time, even professionals thought that Bolt’s 200-meter record was…

It will be more unbreakable than the 100-meter record.

Because a few years ago, if you could run under 19 seconds, it was considered a very strong top result. But the gap is so big that it is impossible to see the possibility of getting close.

Until Brussels last year.

Blake suddenly exploded.

Even pure running ability is better than Bolt.

This immediately showed everyone that Blake had the potential to win, or that Bolt's so-called 200-meter world record was not an unapproachable record.

It was from this time that the claim that the difficulty of the 200-meter race far exceeded the 100-meter record began to loosen for the first time.

Bolt himself had previously believed that his 200m record was unbreakable. Also in Brussels last year, when he saw Blake complete this feat himself, Bolt's threat to Blake was...

This is the first time it has really been brought up.

Before this.

Blake was not qualified to be his opponent, and he did not regard Blake as any threatening opponent.

140 meters 150 meters.

Bolt is still No. 1, but...

At this point it is not a question of not being able to expand the advantage.

He wanted to keep it.

It's all difficult.

"Bolt slowed down!?"

"Blake is starting to get closer!?"

  The commentator himself did not expect such a result. It's only 150 meters, and there are still 50 meters to go. Has Bolt already begun to lose his advantage at this point?

Bolt area?

What Blake was thinking about at this time was——

Things that are not true.

It has to be changed sooner or later!

Bolt himself also felt something was wrong.

There is no longer the feeling we had in the Bird's Nest in 08, when we could run freely without thinking and just follow our body's natural reactions.

You have to know that in 08, when Bolt was on the straight at the Bird's Nest, the feeling in his mind was -

I felt like I was running very smoothly.

I am incredibly fast.

No one can catch up with me except the wind.

Under the blue runway in Berlin in 09——

He felt his body was filled with energy.

My whole body is exploding.

Every muscle is working perfectly.

No need to control at all.

Everything is just right.

But now...

He lost that feeling.

He seemed to be in the lead throughout the game, but in fact, his concentration was a little distracted.

The control over my body is far worse than when I was at the Bird's Nest and in Berlin.

These feelings cannot be seen by the outside world.

Only the athletes themselves can feel it clearly.

He was indeed full of energy and vigor during those two years.

When you run to this position, there will be no one chasing you.

There is no sound of spikes.

but.

This time.

He ran to this point and could no longer continue to admire how brave he was, nor could he continue to look at the timer to determine how far he was from the new record?

Perhaps to others, Bolt looks no different from the previous two years, with the lead still so huge, and they simply cannot get close to him when he runs.

But the problem is.

For Blake.

But it is no longer unapproachable.

Seeing that he was still ahead of me, but not as far behind as before, where he couldn't catch up...

Blake realized it, too.

I have really become stronger.

Not that far from Bolt, the sprinting prodigy who is said to be unheard of.

even.

On to the straight road.

You are the one who has the advantage.

What Crawford said is that the harder you work, the more you fall behind...

It no longer belongs to me.

"Oh my god, the gap is not that big, Bolt's lead is not solid!"

"Blake is on the main straight... trying to catch up!"

These are the words of the on-site commentator.

"Bolt seems to have lost the magic he had in 08 and 09!"

"Blake is closing in on him!"

This is what the commentator from the United States said.

Here in China.

"Bolt has lost his dominance on the 200m straight!"

"He was the first one out of the corner, but the one who has the advantage now is... Blake!"

"Bolt switched from offense to defense!"

Yang Jian is responsible for the parts of Bolt and Blake.

His words also pointed out the current trend of the game.

One switches from offense to defense.

Just said it right, the momentum of the whole game changed.

In the past, Bolt attracted all the spotlight, and all the commentators' eyes were focused on him alone.

His self-confidence.

His momentum.

They are all like a long-lasting rainbow.

At that time.

There is no such thing as being on the defensive.

It's all offense.

It's like a lightning sword that has just been sharpened.

Arrogance was written all over his face.

Even if you were watching TV, you could still feel the aura that person exuded on the track from a distance of 100,000 miles away. But now, the aura is gone.

That's how it feels.

Although it's unclear what it is, and although Bolt's shot will still be very fast, it's just...

It has lost the feeling that was conveyed to people in 08 and 09.

Lacks the invincible sharpness.

Unrivaled self-confidence.

And maybe an invincible attitude.

All this is because there is a person following behind.

Just because someone is close to me.

Not thrown away.

Bolt's mentality has lost all these previous things.

In fact, Bolt is still one or two meters ahead of Blake.

Even though he was leading by such a large margin, it was his mentality that started to go wrong. This can only be blamed on Bolt himself...

His original mentality had not been tempered much.

He is top-notch in terms of strength.

Unrivaled.

It is easy to beat everyone, even though the original limit of 200 meters was met.

It can be because of this.

He had never been evenly matched or fought to the end many times in the 200 meters.

Even in the past.

  What is this place called Dazhidao?

That's right.

This place is called Bolt's territory.

That is, even in the 200-meter area, which is his weakest area.

It was also previously known as his domain.

But now.

The field is broken.

He no longer seemed so invincible and perfect.

At least the weakness behind it was exposed.

Yes, he has weaknesses.

at this point……

Mills watched the game from the stands.

Although his heart has begun to lean towards letting the two compete, he is no longer blindly favoring Bolt as before.

but……

If you talk about your personal feelings, I would definitely pay more attention to Bolt.

This is because he has invested more effort and energy in Bolt over the years.

Usain.

No one is invincible.

But how can we accept our own weaknesses?

Learning to utilize your strengths and how to overcome your weaknesses is something that all outstanding athletes should learn.

But you were too strong before, so strong that you skipped this stage.

This is the opposite of the path that top athletes used to take.

Now you have to learn it again.

So……

Let’s see if you can learn it.

If you can learn it, then there is still a possibility of nirvana and rebirth.

Can't learn.

  Mills lowered his eyelids, followed him to the fourth lane on the runway, and said lightly:

That's it for you.

After 150 meters.

This is a node.

Bolt could almost feel it clearly.

The speed and rate that you can maintain in front.

After passing this distance.

It started to decline significantly.

No matter how he pushes it.

It can't be pushed up any further.

In the past, when Bolt felt that his body had slowed down a bit, he was not too anxious because he could still rely on the accumulated high enough inertial potential energy and moment of inertia to continue to maintain his advantage.

Because he is tall enough.

Even on this 200-meter track.

He was also almost the tallest one.

Plus, I have the best proportions among black people, so as long as I can still move my legs.

This will give you a powerful and unsolvable physiological advantage.

at this point.

Other athletes may not have it.

In the past, when other athletes were far behind him, they were all tired by this time. In addition to the difference in strength, the athletes themselves could feel the difference in physiological advantages behind it...

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

That is what Crawford said in an interview before - a feeling of collapse.

To put it in our terms.

Seeing that everyone was tired at this time, he still had a physiological advantage that no one else could match to help him...

That's called.

The heart of Taoism collapsed.

Of course, there is another most crucial point -

Bolt has this mentality now.

He could no longer enter into the state of insolence he had before.

The body relaxes due to absolute self-confidence.

It cannot produce the same level of body relaxation as before.

Then Bolt's oxygen consumption, rhythm, and most fundamentally muscle consumption...

It will be bigger than every step he took before.

When it comes down to it, all of your movements as humans still require your brain, that is, your spirit, to give instructions.

This is also where competitive sports come in handy.

Even if you have extremely strong strength, your performance may be affected by your inadequate mental attributes.

Why is it that when Powell is leading, he seems to have an invincible running pace, and even no matter how fast he runs, it seems like he still has energy to spare?

The same principle also applies.

Any sprinter will feel it.

This is why your rhythm and performance are best when you are running in the first place, because at this time your mentality will not be affected by anyone.

And there is a difference in being the first. If you are constantly overtaken by others, then the psychological pressure they put on you may exceed your ability to bear.

Then you will not be able to enter such a relaxed state either.

Only when you are ahead by a large margin.

Only when you think you have an absolute advantage and no one can catch up with you.

Your mind will truly relax.

Then you will magically find that your legs and feet will be lighter than usual today.

More physical energy.

This is the relationship between the spirit and the body of the human body.

This is especially important in sprinting.

And now...

Bolt was unable to shake off Blake because he was approaching from behind. He simply had no way of getting his mind into such a state.

Can't get into this state.

You will not be able to have the advantages of relaxed running that naturally appear in the previous major competitions.

It’s all interconnected stuff.

There is a missing link.

This will cause the remaining rings to loosen.

The human body is such a sophisticated instrument.

Bolt's current physical advantage is no longer an advantage for Blake, and Bolt himself is unable to shake off Blake, who is chasing closely behind him, so his mental state is unable to regain the confidence he had in previous competitions.

He ran in a relaxed state that was different from that of ordinary people.

It cannot be taken out.

Then.

People's spirit will go to the opposite direction.

Why did our ancestors advocate the balance of yin and yang? It is because for most people, you are either on the left or on the right, and it is difficult to maintain a middle position.

This is what Bolt is experiencing now, when his mental state is no longer as confident and relaxed as in previous competitions.

Then it goes to the other side.

Rather than walking in the middle.

He began to experience extra feelings of tension, urgency, and anxiety.

You may be wondering, why is he still leading by so much? Even if it is put in the 200-meter race, this one or two-meter advantage is a huge lead.

Don't forget that 200 meters is also a type of sprint.

  We are so far ahead, why are we so anxious?

Appearing in everything for one reason...

That's Usain Bolt.

He was confident about his last fifty meters.

Not as confident as everyone thinks.

Or rather it is.

When facing the beast chasing him relentlessly.

Lack of confidence.

Does Bolt also have times when he lacks confidence in the 200 meters?

some.

and.

It's now.

Right on the main straight at the London Bowl.

ps: I finished writing 200 meters today. I have been in poor physical condition recently and had problems with my neck. It was really like a 100-day recovery from a broken bone. It was only in the last two days that I felt I had really recovered a lot.

I’ll talk about the details after I finish writing about today’s 200 meters. . . .

Keep going.
