Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 268

It was still June 6, when Su Bingtian and Wu Ziyi packed up their salutes in the hotel and were about to take the night flight to Paris. Des Moines, the capital of the mold country, Iowa, was holding this year's National Track and Field Championships.

Des Moines-Drake Stadium, men's 100-meter final.

Jeff Demps, Bryce Robinson, Ronnie Baker, Noah Lyles, Cameron Burrell, Isaiah Young, Kendall Williams, seven players from 1~7 squat behind the starting line in turn.

Noah Lyles stroked the gold chain around his neck. His mother was watching the game from the audience. For the person he loves and loves him the most, he will do everything he can to get it Men's [-]m gold medal at US Championships.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

When the starting gun fired, Noah Lyles' starting reaction time was 0.142 seconds, and Ronnie Baker's starting reaction time was much slower, as much as 0.185 seconds.However, the starting reaction never means that he will fall behind in the future. If Ronnie Baker's opponent is a future monster like Coleman and Su Bingtian, the gap of 0.04 seconds is fatal, but at this time his opponent is a weaker future. The famous Noah Lyles.

One, two, three, four, just four steps, Ronnie Baker equalized the 0.04 second gap in starting reaction through a smooth start connection.

Put your head down and accelerate until you finish raising your head, and when you reach a position of about 30 meters, Lyles is already one body behind Ronnie Baker, and not only behind Ronnie Baker, but also ahead of the other five players. he.

But Lyles was very clear about his own advantages, so he was not in a hurry, but kept his pace and continued to accelerate.

At 50 meters, Lyles tied with Cameron Burrell and Isaiah Young, and began to approach the extreme speed state, and the gap with Ronnie Baker began to gradually narrow.

60 meters, surpassing Jeff Demps, who is also very promising in the first lane, and began to rank among the second echelon.

70 meters, the gap between him and Ronnie Baker has been reduced to half a body.

At 80 meters, 90 meters, and 95 meters, Lyles finally tied with Ronnie Baker. There are still two steps left, and this year's national champion will be determined between two steps!
"Noah Lyles! He passed Ronnie Baker at the end and he did it! His mother jumped up in the audience and applauded his son. New All-American 9m champion Born, 88 seconds [-], are you kidding?"

9秒88，莱尔斯再次刷新了自己的个人最好成绩，在两个小时前的半决赛他就跑出了9秒89，现在再次跑出9秒88，他也正式成为了霉国田径史上又一位美锦赛男子100米（2018）、200米（2017）双料冠军。

Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Noah Lyles beat himself in his heart and danced (see egg).

"Wow, this white player is also very good. He chased me so much in the last 20 meters. If I give him another 20 meters or even [-] meters, I feel that he can surpass me."

The training base on the outskirts of Paris, the capital of France, is close to Montreuil where Xie Zhenye played before. It is the European summer training base rented by the Chinese track and field team for the players.

After the Madrid Challenge, Wu, Su and their team came here. At present, this training base has gathered six short jump athletes, Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wei Yongli, Xie Wenjun, and Zhu Yaming. In a few days, Xu Zhouzheng and others will participate After the Ghana Athletics Classic, I will also come here to do relay training for the London Athletics World Cup and the Diamond League.

At this time, everyone in the training room is watching the replay of the men's 100m in the previous Madrid Challenge. After the game, the video and various data of the game have been sent to Randy and Ralphman in China. Now watch Playback also wants to find problems by myself so that I can make improvements.

Xie Zhenye held a big apple in his hand and looked at it while gnawing: "Well~ Don't tell me, give him another 20 meters and he can really surpass you."

"He is really good. The second Caucasian athlete who ran into 10 seconds, I feel that he is quite similar to Lemaitre. He has big steps. The characteristic of this kind of athlete is that he has a strong late course."

"Let's say 44 steps. The steps are not too big or small. Lemaitre's 42 steps. The difference is quite big." Wu Ziyi watched the replay and sat aside. He opened the IAAF official website on his mobile phone and looked at the information. "This Totu is really good. Last year, he ran 10 seconds, and 15 seconds. Isn’t that an injury? This year’s progress is quite big, and he also won the third place in the Rome Diamond League. Just look at this game!”

"What's the matter?" Hearing Wu Ziyi's movement, Xie Zhenye swayed over and leaned over to see what made him swear.

"It's okay." Wu Ziyi pushed Xie Zhenye's dog's head away, not letting him see the phone screen, "I just saw the news of the U.S. Championships pushed over, and I don't know why Coleman didn't participate. In the end, Lyles won the hundred. M champion."

"Lyles? Coleman didn't participate, so it wasn't Baker who won the championship?" Su Bingtian asked, "I think Baker is quite strong. Eugene ran 9 seconds 83, so he can't beat Lyles? "

Wu Ziyi opened a new interface and found the game data of the US Championships, "Yeah, he was killed in the last five meters. Baker was 9 seconds, and Lyles was 90 seconds. This guy is really ruthless. In the preliminaries, the wind speed was 9 seconds, in the semi-finals, the wind speed was 88 in 9 seconds, and in the final, the wind speed was 92 in 9 seconds, breaking PB twice.”

Su Bingtian's scalp felt numb when he heard this, "Wow, here's another one. I suddenly feel that next year's World Championships are on the line, alas."

Seeing that Su Bingtian started to sigh, Xie Zhenye immediately shifted his target and leaned over to tease his little Tiantian.

Wu Ziyi clicked on the original page of the website. This page displayed the race data of the Diamond League Rome station held on May 5. The data of the men's 31-meter event was at the top of the interface.

The white Italian player Filippo Totu that everyone just started talking about was among them. In this game, he ranked No.10 with 04 seconds, No.3 was Ronnie Baker with 1 seconds, and No.9 was Jimmy- Vicourt, No.94 is Coleman, followed by Sibney and Mike Rogers, Guliyev and Isaiah Young are ranked eighth and ninth respectively.

These are not the reasons why Wu Ziyi issued a national curse. The reason why Wu Ziyi was surprised was that he saw a familiar and unfamiliar name in the seventh column of this game:
7 - Lamont-Marcell-JACOBS - 1994.9.26 - ITA - 10.19.

If the name is covered, this message will be the same. Two Italian players in a Diamond League match, one ran 10 seconds, and the other only 04 seconds. No matter how you look at it, the latter was "recommended" by the Italian organizer. Make up the number of people.

But what if the English name is translated?

Lamont Marcel Jacobs, that's right, the men's [-]-meter champion in the Winter Beijing Olympics, defeated Corley, De Grasse, Sibney, Ronnie Baker, Su Bingtian and others, and won four years The biggest "dark horse" of the gold medal in the men's [-]-meter event with the highest gold content in a single Olympic Games.

Jacobs is definitely the most unfamiliar to Wu Ziyi among the world's top sprinters in the post-Bolt era. Out of curiosity, Wu Ziyi clicked on his athlete homepage.

Jacobs was originally a long jump athlete, but strangely, his last outdoor long jump record was on July 2016, 7, but there was an indoor long jump record in 7.

The best outdoor long jump score is 7 meters, and the indoor best score is 95 meters. Frankly speaking, this result is not considered the top in China. Shi Yuhao, Huang Changzhou and others can easily beat him.

Looking at his 2016-meter race record again, Wu Ziyi knew that he ran a PB of 10 seconds in Savona, Italy in 23, and his current PB was also run in Savona. On May 5 this year, a week before the Diamond League Rome station, the score was 23 seconds.

Wu Ziyi in his previous life knew very little about him. After all, no one could have imagined that an unknown Italian athlete could win the Olympic Games with three shots and three PBs. Now look at Jacobs' game records. It turned out that his progress was not accidental.

Judging from this year's 100-meter competition results, he is obviously more suitable for the [-]-meter race than the long jump, and he is developing in this direction.This year, as the year of the Indoor World Championships, he did not participate in an indoor long jump competition, which is enough to explain the problem.

Although Jacobs is still unknown at this moment, Wu Ziyi knows the potential hidden in this bald man, and discovering Jacobs' "traces" in advance also makes Wu Ziyi's inner desire to fight stronger.

Jacobs, don't make me wait too long, and Coleman, are you ready to challenge me?
