Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 328 Italian Lion

“On your marks~”

The starter gave the order to take their positions, and the noisy noise in the Louis II Stadium gradually subsided, and there were clear cheers from the audience from time to time.

Competitors step onto the starting line and start preparing

Ronnie Baker walked to the front of the starting line and squatted on the track with his hands on the ground. His eyes crossed the [-]-meter track and landed on the faintly visible finish line.

Jacobs crossed his hands and patted his shoulders, and also looked at the finish line. Facing the three top sprinters in the United States and the king of Africa, the pressure in his heart must be great.

But he believes that his competitive state is very good, and 9 seconds 95 will not be his limit. If he wants to continue to break through himself, the best way is to compete with world-class masters.

This game is his sixth outdoor [-]-meter shot this season. He wants to test his judgment. Although the opponent is very strong and the pressure in his heart is huge, he is fearless!

With both feet on the run-up block, he swings unhurriedly into the ready position, and he is ready to go.

"Set—"

"boom--!"

The starting gun sounded, and all seven players except Sibney rushed out, but then they heard the sound of sirens resounding throughout the stadium.

The audience at the scene were forced to stop as soon as they yelled for the first time, as if a pile of fiercely burning flames were suddenly doused with a basin of cold water, and boos came from every corner of the auditorium from time to time.

The camera showed Sibini, the only famous South African player who stayed in place after the gunshot. If it was confirmed that he had made a false start, he would have to withdraw from the peak match before the Olympics.

A referee walked into the track with a red card, when a spectator holding a South African flag in the adjacent audience shouted into the field: "No! Please, don't send Sibini away!".

The shouts were clearly audible in the stadium, and the slightly weeping voice moved many spectators. People began to feel sorry for Sibini, and then the referee walked up to Weicourt and raised the red card.

The South African audience who was crying with grief and indignation just a second ago broke into laughter and shouted to the referee: "Thank you, I love you!" It seems that it is no longer boring.

Weicourt followed the referee to the side to confirm, and after confirming that he had started the race, he asked the referee to let him finish the race without counting the score. After getting his consent, he stood on the track again amidst the applause of the audience.

“On your marks~”

Stepping on the starting block again, Jacobs' fighting spirit became stronger. In such a high-level competition, any tiny off-court factor may have an impact on the athlete's state.

He didn't know whether Weicourt's early run would make other athletes more cautious. He only knew that he must concentrate and go all out when competing with these world famous players!
Come Jacobs, Vicourt and Lemaitre are old, Seuss and Ujanan are in the elegant hall, the European Legion will be led by me, the Italian lion!

The eight players got ready on the starting block one by one, and the starter raised the starting gun in his hand.

The stadium has been completely quiet, creating an excellent environment for the athletes to start.

War is imminent!
"Set—"

On the starting line, the movements of the eight runners were in unison, and the moment they heard the preparatory instructions, they quickly raised their bodies and took the starting posture.

Everyone's muscles were tense, as if they were fully loaded copper alloy bullets waiting for the moment when the trigger rang!
"boom--!!"

The muffled sound of the starting gun resounded throughout the Louis II Stadium again, and a hundred athletes burst out like bullets fired in an instant.

The stadium, which had been quiet a second before, boiled instantly after hearing the loud gunshot and seeing the athletes' explosive start.

No one made a false start and the game went on smoothly.

Athletes are making great progress on the track. Among the eight players on the scene, there is no extremely promising player like Su Bingtian or Coleman, so the gap between each other is very small after the start.

Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters
The afterglow of France has passed, and Jimmy Weicourt, a pure power sprinter, is no longer brilliant. At the age of 29, he obviously has lost his former style. He has fallen behind the crowd just after entering 1/3 of the race.

The one in the leading position is not Brommel, who has killed all quarters in the country, but Ronnie Baker, the third in the world in 2018. Although he is not an extremely promising player, his indoor 60-meter performance ranks first The fourth in history, although the starting reaction is flawed, it does not affect his strong body in the future.

Brommel, who has always performed well in the future, has opened up a gap in stature to Ronnie Baker at this time. In addition to being behind the huge Weicourt, even Corley, who is over 190 cm tall, can also Stay parallel to him at this point.

It can be clearly seen that Brommel's acceleration in the first 30 meters was poor, and he did not give full play to his own advantages.

Ranked in the second echelon are Degrasse and Jacobs. The gap between them and Ronnie Baker is not big, not even half a body.

Ronnie Baker is now more and more motivated to fight. In the national trials, he was already half a body behind Brommel at 30 meters. Keep it until the end of the game, so that he has no chance to surpass.

The opportunity is rare, Ronnie Baker doesn't know why Brommel has such a problem, but he knows that he must not give him a chance to overtake!

40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters.
Brommel was still struggling to catch up. Although he gradually got rid of Corley, Sibney on the right was always ahead of him, and he could clearly see that Ronnie Baker was keeping Take the lead.

Now that he has entered the late stage of the [-]-meter race, he doesn't have enough confidence in his late-game ability, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, "I'm going to lose."

Contrary to Brommel's idea, although Brommel recovered some distance in the 30-meter interval, Jacobs still encouraged himself in his heart.

He clearly knows his strengths and weaknesses. Although he won the European Indoor Championships 60-meter championship, his time of 6 seconds is not considered top in the world. At least Ronnie Baker once ran into the 47-meter race many times. Second 6's.

The one and a half years of scientific training after the Doha World Championships has significantly improved his various abilities, and he has also perfected his running method.

In the team, he now has the nickname "Italian Powell" because his running posture is similar to Powell.

In fact, he did take Powell as a learning object. During the running stage, he used the front-scratching technique, the rear kick is not obvious but the ground is sufficient, the fold is low and the core is extremely stable, and the shaking of the upper body is extremely small. From the side view It looks like "sit and run".

Powell has always been a role model for him to learn from, but unlike Powell, his future is not as good as Powell's. What he is good at is-the future.

After 60 meters, the situation on the field became more obvious than that of the first 30 meters.

In particular, Ronnie Baker is in the third lane, so he is particularly prominent in the perspective of live TV. He has already gained a lot of leads in the first 3 meters. Many viewers subconsciously began to think that he will be the hundred M champion.

But there is an old saying on the track and field track - as long as the line is not completed, anything is possible!

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters.
For viewers from the perspective of live TV, due to the angle, the effect of outsiders (1~3) will be more obvious than that of insiders when they are in the lead. people's eyes.

From being almost equal with Brommel to opening up a position, Jacobs completed the teleportation after 60 meters, and was about to catch up with Ronnie Baker.

The European audience in the auditorium cheered even more enthusiastically, and they were already looking forward to it, "Can you catch up? Can you surpass Ronnie Baker? Can you win tonight's championship?"

The European audience at the scene didn't know how long it had been since they saw European athletes win the 19-meter championship in the Diamond League, maybe it was 18 years?Or [-] years?
Who was the last European player to win the men's [-]-meter championship in the Diamond League sub-station?Gianne Hughes or Jikindu Uja?

Even if they can win the championship, it is estimated that it will be Stockholm or Oslo. Stations like Rome, Paris, London, Birmingham, and Monaco are almost all reserved by Wu Ziyi or Coleman and Ronnie Baker from the United States.

And now, Jacobs has brought hope here again, as if there is really a chance!
In the last ten meters, sprint and press the line!
"Jacobs! Jacobs!! 9-8-9! This lion from Italy defeated a strong enemy from the other side of the Atlantic and became the star of the night!"

Jacobs patted his chest and ran forward along the curve. Tens of thousands of spectators in the Louis II Stadium were cheering for him at the moment, and a small number of Italian spectators had already waved the national flag.

He opened his arms as usual, just like he broke the national record by running 9 seconds on the runway in Savona for the first time. him.

Jacobs bumped into him excitedly, and hugged Gianmarco Tenberry tightly, panting and shouting in his ear: "Gianmarco, my brother, have you seen that? ?I did it!"

Gianmarco Temberi responded equally loudly: "Yes, you did it! Marcel, you are the pride of Italy!"

On the big screen behind them, the results are refreshed one by one:

1 Lamont Marcel Jacobs 9.89 NR
