king of sprint

Chapter 383 The Gap of One World
In the "Blue Miracle" of the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Usain broke the 200-meter world record to 19 seconds, an unprecedented number, but he never ran to this result again.

Rousseau, who competed with Usain on the 200-meter track, never had that result. 19 seconds was his best personal record.

Before the 200-meter final in the London Olympics, some experts predicted that this time the two men will not break the world record in the competition, but it is entirely possible to break the Olympic record, and it can even be said that it is a certainty.

After all, the Olympic record of 19 seconds held by Michael Johnson has been broken countless times by the two arrogances, and there is only one proof in the Olympics.

As for why the experts judged that the two could not break the world record, one is because of the state, and the other is because of the schedule.

Usain is undoubtedly at a low ebb, and Rousseau has too many races to face, and his body will be too tired. Neither of them is at the peak, so naturally they can't get the peak results. Their performance in the 100-meter event is proof.

But still worth the wait.

After all, for Rousseau, this will be his third gold medal in the London Olympic sprint event - if he can get it, he will create a feat that has never been done before or since.

For Usain, if he continues to lose in the 200-meter event, his chances of proving himself in this Olympics will be almost gone.

Amidst the speculation, discussions and expectations of the whole world, the time came to 15:50 pm local time in London, and the 200-meter final was about to start.

Compared with the star-studded 100-meter final, the 200-meter final is indeed much less attractive, but there are still a lot of spectators, reporters, and live broadcasts. The anxious atmosphere burns in the air from the moment the contestants stand on the runway .

There were two waves of waves in the auditorium, one was the red five-star red flag, and the other was the green and black Jamaican flag. Rousseau and Usain each had supporters, and the ethnicities of the supporters were not limited to their respective countries.

The 80000-person London Olympic Stadium has a very high attendance rate, and the 200-meter final is the most anticipated game today.

When Rousseau and Usain stood on the runway, cheers surged, the national flag rolled up, and the audience saluted these two proud sons with their greatest enthusiasm.

The broadcast of the competition began to introduce the contestants participating in this final from channel 1:

2 French teenager Le Matre, 22 years old this year.

3-way Ecuadorian player Kuno Muzi, 23 years old, is a small player with a height of only 1.76 meters.

4-way Jamaican player Blake, 23 years old, 1.80 meters tall, with a personal best of 19 seconds, is a strong contender for the championship.

5-way Chinese player Lu Suo, 26 years old, with a personal best of 19 seconds.
The 6-way American player Spielmon is a 28-year-old veteran with a best time of 19 seconds.

7 Jamaican player Usain Bolt, world record holder.

The 8-course Jamaican player Will, 23 years old, has a personal best of 19 seconds, and this time he is basically an accompanying runner.

Nine-track South African player Jobud Warner, 9 years old, had a best time of 20 seconds. Well, there is really nothing to introduce about this result.

Two things can be seen from the list of 200-meter finals in the London Olympics. First, except for the Jamaica team, there are no 200-meter athletes from other countries.

Especially for the US team, the grand occasion of winning gold, silver and bronze medals in 2004 is gone forever. This year, only one veteran, who is better than nothing, was shortlisted for the final.

Since 2008, the U.S. team has lost a lot in the Olympic track and field sprint event. It may be related to the IAAF’s strict doping investigation after the 2005 World Championships. Although there is no clear evidence, the results are the best proof?

The second is that a new generation of sprinters is gradually on the world stage. Rousseau is 26 years old this year, and he is at his peak, but in a year or two, he will be called a veteran. After 30, he can be called a "Tian" Altar evergreen', those 22 and 23-year-old players, although only a few years behind him, is already a generation gap.

……

Usain looked serious.

This guy was so serious today that Rousseau didn't dare to say hello to him.

Probably because I was in a bad mood after losing 100 meters, and I was upset when I saw Rousseau winning 400 meters.

Usain is the kind of character who would give up the 08 meters in the 200 Olympics in order to win Rousseau.

In Usain's view, winning Rousseau is more important than anything else.

Rousseau sometimes thinks the same way, but if he encounters some national honors or something, his personal thoughts still have to make way for the feelings of family and country.

……

Blake, who was on the 4th track, saw Rousseau staring at Usain all the time, and a lot of jealousy appeared in his expression.

Rousseau and Usain's mutual competition and mutual achievements from 2006 to 2010 has become a legend in the history of track and field. Many critics say that without each other, they would not have such a great influence in the world.

Ordinary players can only look up to this legendary friendship of "enemy and friend", but Blake wants "a third party to intervene".

But the failure of the 100-meter event only proved that he has no such ability for the time being.

This made Blake very dissatisfied.

He has to win!
……

Snapped!
The starting gun sounds.

8 players rushed out of the starting line at the same time.

According to statistics afterwards, the starting speeds of the 200 athletes in the 8-meter final were relatively slow. The fastest was Rousseau at 0.152, and the slowest was South African Joe Budwana at 0.226 seconds.

Since the implementation of the "zero early start" rule, the starting speed of sprinters all over the world can be said to be "decreasing with each passing day". Those previous extreme starting reactions of 0.11 and 0.12 have all disappeared, or have been eliminated.

After all, there is a risk in extreme early running. If you often walk by the river, you will definitely get your shoes wet. Up to now, everyone’s starting is slower than one. This is probably unexpected when the IAAF made this rule.

……

Huang Jue said: "Rousseau's position is very good, the start is also fast, and his cornering is also very beautiful..."

Li Xuemei: "The curve passed in an instant. Blake chased Rousseau, but he was still a few steps behind Rousseau. Now we are on the straight!"

Huang Jue said: "Usain and Rousseau entered the straight almost at the same time. It was like a magic trick. The two of them left the other players behind by a large margin in an instant. The only one who could keep up was Blake!"

Li Xuemei said: "Rousseau and Usain fought too hard in the second half, and Blake was thrown farther and farther. The straight part was only 80 meters, but it was more difficult for Blake than 100 meters!"

Huang Jue said: "Too fast! Crossed the line! Rousseau is faster! Congratulations to Rousseau! He won the third gold medal in this short track event! He beat Usain to win the gold medal in the 200-meter event! Add another gold medal to my legendary road to king!"

……

It was less than a minute just now.

The entire audience held their breath.

fantastic.

From the moment they entered the straight, Rousseau and Usain competed desperately with a gap of less than one step, while other players, including Blake, were thrown farther and farther away, creating a strange scene on this track:
Rousseau and Usain were in front, and Blake chased alone in despair, but there were still five or six positions between them, and the other five players were left even further behind.

'Almost thrown into another world'.

This is the exclamation of the host during a live TV broadcast in a certain country.
