Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 39 The Amazing Sprint

In the middle of the game, everyone rushed to replenish water, took two sips of mineral water, and then poured it on their bodies.

Lu Cheng didn't do this, and he didn't drink a sip of water after running halfway.

Because for him, this kind of running is too easy, he doesn't sweat much, and he doesn't need to replenish water at all.

This scene also fell in the eyes of those coaches and track and field administrators.

At the National Athletics Management Center in the capital, several officials and coaches got together to watch the live broadcast of the Hang Ma game.

They watched, commented, and kept picking.

"These dark horses are not skilled enough."

"Zheng Shen and Hong Yanming are a little bit better, they came out of the junior sports school; Gu Heng and Jin Min are both amateur players, without professional education; the most evil one is the newly emerged Lu Cheng! You see This silly boy, he led the race against the wind as soon as he came up, and he didn't replenish water halfway through the race, what does he want to do? Want to go to heaven?"

"I don't think he understands the meaning of hydration at all. Cooling down by sweating and hydrating is the key for human beings to maintain long-distance running!"

"Hey, you said that these days, there are a lot of weird things, good skills but no physical strength, bad skills but achievements, what's the matter?"

"Last time the Ministry of Athletics issued a report, which analyzed the reasons for the frequent emergence of dark horses. It was attributed to the popularity of marathons, which can detect high-level athletes in time; recruit these people into the provincial or city teams, and improve them by adjusting their diet. The results of..."

"Anyway, next year's Olympic Games will be great! Even if you can't win the gold medal, you can compete with African athletes!"

"We only have three places to compete, but we have five high-level athletes. How should we choose? Should we hold a trial?"

"No need! Whoever gets the best grades will get in!"

"It's still early. If we achieved good results this year, we may not be able to maintain them next year."

"Then let the wind out first, the results in next spring shall prevail, this year's results will not count..."

In Hangzhou, Lu Cheng ran the Qiantang River section and came to the edge of the West Lake. He looked up at the vast expanse of light, like a bright pearl shining in the sun, with a cool breeze, and he felt relaxed.

When he focused on the West Lake, his feet unknowingly quickened the pace.

He himself didn't pay attention, but the people who followed him were miserable!
"Hey, this kid is so crazy! He can even accelerate! Do I want to follow?"

"Follow, definitely follow! Hmph, fight with me, you are still young! I, Hong Yanming, want to get back the lost records!"

"Hey, why is he running faster and faster? It used to be about 1 meters in one minute, but now it's close to 350 meters. How can I follow?"

Ever since, the first phalanx of the remaining five began to divide again!Only Hong Yanming gritted his teeth and followed, while the other three gradually fell behind.

Although they were behind, they did not give up, because they were all top players, and it was not a big problem to be behind by tens of meters. They believed that it was impossible for Lu Cheng to run to the end at such a speed.

Lu Cheng quickly recovered and slowed down again.

However, it is not easy for the people behind to catch up.

In this way, there were only two left in front, and only Hong Yanming followed Lu Cheng closely.

Many people are watching the live broadcast, and the barrage on the TV screen is connected together.

"Why so fast? This is a record-breaking pace!"

"Oh, Jin Min's long legs are no longer good!"

"The good-looking little brother is also behind!"

"The first two are really not simple. They are both national record-breakers. They can be said to be brilliant for a while."

At this time, people suddenly discovered that Hong Yanming suddenly accelerated, overtook Lu Cheng, and became the leader!
"666, Hong Yanming has come from behind!"

"Gossip, Hong Yanming's strength is very strong, the real score is within 2 hours, he can break the record every minute!"

"I don't believe that it is impossible for a yellow race to run within 2 hours."

"Hmph! I'm Hong Yanming's younger brother! He told me that I finished the marathon in 2 hours..."

On the shore of the West Lake, on the spacious and smooth road, Lu Cheng ran along unhurriedly.

He didn't overtake immediately because it wasn't necessary.

If it goes beyond that, the competition will become very intense, and the final score will be uncontrollable. It may run to 1 hour and 58 minutes, which will increase the world record by more than 1 minute.

"Unexpectedly, Hong Yanming also hid part of his strength!"

However, Lu Cheng had confidence in his sprint ability, so he followed Hong Yanming slowly, only waiting for the last moment to overtake.

As time passed by, Jiang Qiuyun, who was in the female dormitory of Quancheng Medical College, became a little nervous, and her palms began to sweat.

I heard Hong Qingni yelling: "Hold on! I hope Lu Cheng persists to the end! It doesn't matter if you can't win the championship."

Zhang Min said: "It's related! I just checked it on my mobile phone. The first prize is 50 yuan, and the runner-up is only 25 yuan."

Hong Qingni said: "25 is not a lot, enough to buy several bags!"

She is still a student, and all she likes are mid-range models.

Jiang Qiuyun took a deep breath and said, "Lu Cheng has potential. I remember that at the climbing festival, he could have run faster, but he didn't run at all for the last 1000 steps. He walked up."

Hong Qingni said: "You mean, he can still overtake?"

"possible."

The race is almost over, and after running the West Lake section, we will enter the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center.

Until entering the Olympic Sports Center, Hong Yanming still ran at the front.

He looked back and found that Lu Cheng was 20 meters away from him, so he was completely relieved, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Lu Cheng didn't want to irritate him, so he was far away.

Many people gathered in the Olympic Sports Center, mostly relatives and friends of the contestants.

When these people saw a player enter the arena, they stood up one after another.

"The champion is Hong Yanming! No.2 is Lu Cheng!"

"There is still the last lap, with a distance of more than 20 meters, Lu Cheng can't catch up."

"Look at the timing on the big screen, it is now 1 hour, 59 minutes and 19 seconds, and the final score is estimated to be 2 hours and a few seconds! Another new national record has been born!"

"It's too powerful, two big dark horses!"

"I didn't expect that the yellow race could achieve such a result! It's really exciting!"

Seeing that there were only 200 meters left to the finish line, and Lu Cheng, who was in second place, hadn't started the sprint yet, everyone thought he was out of strength.

However, at the last moment, with 130 meters left, Lu Cheng suddenly exploded, almost doubling his speed, like an arrow flying from the string!

"Yeah ah..."

"This speed...how is it like a [-]-meter race?"

"He still has the strength to explode!"

"Hong Yanming! Run, I'm catching up!"

Many people roared, jumping and shouting excitedly!

This scene is amazing. It is unheard of to be able to sprint like this at the end of the marathon!

Hong Yanming sensed the danger, so he also increased his speed, unleashing his full potential!
However, when there were still 30 meters left before the finish line, Lu Cheng blew past him like a gust of wind!
That powerless feeling instantly filled Hong Yanming's heart!Like a hammer hitting his heart, he felt that his legs were weak, his speed dropped quickly, and he fell to the ground as soon as he passed the finish line!
On the TV screen, I don't know how many barrages appeared at once!
"Ah ah ah..."

"Ow ooh..."

"666..."

"A miracle on earth!"

"Has anyone calculated how long it took for the last 100 meters?"

很快的，电视直播的解说员用激动的声音叫道：“9秒5！最后100米的成绩，竟然是9秒5！天呐！”

For a time, many people were stunned!
This year, the world record for 100 meters is 9 seconds (in 49). Considering that Lu Cheng rushed in with an initial speed, it cannot be compared with the world record for sprinting, but considering that he sprinted after running a full marathon, This is unbelievable!
The final score of this competition is fixed at 1 hour, 59 minutes and 55 seconds, which is also an astonishingly good result, breaking through the 2-hour mark.
