Chapter 379 The Peak Battle

The 400m semi-finals are divided into three groups.

The top three in the group will advance.

Although mainland audiences felt that Rousseau had signed up for more events this time, before signing up, Rousseau's coaching team did study in detail the possibility of Rousseau's 400-meter winning.

The actual situation is that in the world, by 2012, there were no strong players in the 400-meter event. Rousseau's current best race time is 44 seconds, which is also quite competitive in the Olympic Games.

In the team test, Rousseau was able to run within 44 seconds. This result is obviously surprising. Although it is far from Michael Johnson's world record of 43 seconds, it can already aspire to the Olympic champion of this event. up.

You must know that the 2008-meter championship in the 400 Beijing Olympic Games was only 44 seconds. It was won by American player Merritt. The silver and bronze medals were also won by American players Wariner and David Neville.

In 2008, the US team had an absolute advantage in the 400-meter event.

But this result is really mediocre. After the 2008 Olympics, Rousseau regretted it a bit. If he participated in the Olympic 400-meter event, he would have a good chance of winning the championship.

So this idea has continued from then until today, and then I started to practice it.

Optimism for Rousseau.

Lu Jinrong advised him to remain calm: "The key issue is the distribution of physical strength. You may not be able to run well in the 06 Asian Games, but you may not be able to run well in the Olympics. At the same time, the training results are different from the competition results. You should be more cautious. "

Rousseau does not agree with this statement, "Coach, I run 100 meters in 9 seconds 60, you said I will be faster in the race, and then I run 400 meters in 43 seconds 90, you said I will be slower in the race, this is too double standard Bar?"

Lu Jinrong didn't blush, but raised his eyebrows: "I'm doing it for your own good!"

"All right, all right, you're right." Rousseau admitted.

Anyway, before the competition, if an athlete is too proud of a certain event, he needs to be suppressed, and if an athlete is afraid, he needs to be encouraged. This is the logic of the coach. As for double standards, that is quite normal.

……

The 400m semi-final is about to begin.

The live broadcast camera was aimed at the preparation players on each track, and stayed on Rousseau on the 3rd track for a long time.

After all, in terms of value, Rousseau was able to pull together players on other tracks in this competition.

The 400-meter event is the "extreme event" in sprinting, but the attention it receives is not equal to the efforts made by the athletes. The last Olympic champion, American player Merritt, was also assigned to Rousseau's group. When he was introduced, The cheers obtained are far from being comparable to those of Rousseau.

"Let's take a look at Rousseau's performance in this race." Huang Jue also expressed concern, and asked Li Xuemei: "Xuemei, have you ever run 400 meters?"

"I have run, of course, only during training. Sprinters who dare to run 400 meters are all warriors." Li Xuemei said.

"In Olympic history, there is only one athlete who has won two gold medals in the 200m and 400m, and that is the American athlete Michael Johnson." Huang Jue said, "and the world record he holds in the 400m has not yet been broken."

"Yes, so far no one has been able to win three gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 400m in one Olympic Games, so we can start to look forward to Rousseau's performance." Li Xuemei said, "Okay, the competition has begun~ "

I should say this sentence... Huang Jue read it in his heart.

……

Snapped!
The starting gun goes off!

Rousseau in lane 3 rushed out of the starting line.

For this game, the live broadcast shot showed the long shot throughout the whole process, so the audience saw Rousseau in lane 3 chasing and chasing, leveling lane 4, and overtaking lane 5. Every time he passed a corner, there would be one or two players Left behind by Rousseau...

During the whole process, Rousseau performed very relaxed and freehand. Even in the final straight sprint stage, other players showed fatigue, but Rousseau's movements were still light. After the Australian player Solomon, he crossed the line in second place. .

Everyone could see that Rousseau was very energetic.

……

"This monster!" Usain commented after watching the game.

……

four hours later.

The 2012-meter final at the 100 London Olympics is about to start.

A list of finalists was placed on the live screen for a long time, and looking at this list of finalists, the audience suddenly felt a little excited and full of anticipation.

Jamaican players Bolt, Blake, Ball.

American players Guy and Gatlin.

Chinese players Lu Suo and Tian Shiwei.

Trinidad and Tobago's Thompson.

Compared with the 2008-meter final in 100, this final in 2012 may be named "The Comeback of the American Team", or "The Reunion of the World Sprinters", or "Gatlin 'Battle of Proof' in Return of Ban.

The U.S. team has two finalists this time, keeping the same number of players as the Continental team, showing the strength of a track and field powerhouse, which is a highlight.

Veteran Gatlin is back, and he is already 30 years old this year. In the previous games, including the 2011 World Championships, he has never been tired and still maintains the world's top level, which is amazing.

Gai Yi is still strong, and the time within 9 seconds 80 can be run casually, which is still the world's top level.

Blake Qifeng protruded, and he beat Usain in both the 100m and 200m in the Olympic qualifiers, and he can be called the Wizards of the World.

Ball is also 30 years old and is still active. His impressive achievements in the past make people expect a miracle to happen to him.

As for Rousseau and Usain, needless to say, the two have not met on the court for nearly two years. During these two years, Rousseau was affected by the ban, and Usain seemed to have been replaced by a domestic rookie. Even so, In the eyes of the audience, the two are still the two most dazzling superstars.

There are a total of 8 contestants in this [-]-meter final.

Six of them are brilliant superstars in the field of sprinting in the world who once won the first place in the world, or stayed at the first place in the world.

The other two are also famous sprinters with the world's top strength.

When the race broadcast introduced the eight sprinters, there was a burst of cheers from each name.

TV stations around the world are also introducing nine contestants:

1 Dow Ball, the 30-year-old Jamaican star has been in the world of athletics for nearly ten years. From 2003 to 2012, he has his name in all legendary competitions.

2. Thompson, Thompson is a famous sprinter in Trinidad and Tobago. He has played in the Olympic Games many times and is very competitive.

3. Tian Shiwei, Tian Shiwei is a very good sprinter in China and has the strength to aspire to the top of the world.

5. Blake, the Jamaican teenager born in 1989, defeated Usain in the team game and is regarded as the second successor of the Jamaican world champion.

6 Doug Gatlin, the 30-year-old veteran of the US team, is extremely calm. The world's top is the past tense, present tense and future tense for him.

7. Usain, the fastest sprinter in the world, does not need to be introduced too much. We all know his name and achievements. He sits on the throne and will always be challenged.

8 Rousseau, the world record holder, 9 seconds 50 is an insurmountable natural moat for any sprinter in the world.

……

What is the concept of gathering six players with the strength of world champions in one game?
It means that this is the pinnacle battle of the [-]-meter event in the history of human sprinting, and it may also be an epic battle unprecedented and unprecedented.
