Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 3 Compete with Liu Xiang for meters. If I run a hundred times, I will win a hundred times!

In fact, even if Wen Hao has the ability to run under 10 seconds, he may not be able to win Xiangfei Ren for sure.

Although Liu Xiang is a specialized athlete in the 110-meter hurdles, his current PB is as high as 12 seconds. Even if his flat running skills are very rough, there is no problem in running 91 meters within 10 seconds.

However, the 4×100-meter relay event is not just a simple comparison of the running ability between players.

Since completing the Helsinki World Championships in mid-August, Liu Xiang has participated in the Incheon Asian Championships, the Magic City Golden Grand Prix, and the Yokohama Seiko Invitational Tournament in September.

The time left for him to practice the relay was only a month.

After Wenhao participated in the National High School Championship, he worked hard with his teammates for nearly two months!

There are four major stages in the sprint process: starting, accelerating, en route, and sprinting.

In the 4×100m relay, due to the overlap of pre-acceleration and handover, the last three athletes actually "omitted" the starting phase, and the acceleration phase was also greatly "shortened".

When the athletes get the baton, they can quickly enter the fastest en route stage and sprint with all their strength.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the handover must go smoothly.

After his rebirth, Wen Hao found that his ability to perceive things in the surrounding environment and his ability to make judgments about the current environment had been greatly improved.

Coupled with nearly two months of running-in, he found the best time to pre-run very accurately.

Turn around, start up, accelerate!
  After six steps, a thunderous cry came from behind:
  "catch--!"

The left arm stopped swinging and stretched back quickly.

Three steps later, a hard object hit the palm of his hand with a "snap", and Wen Hao immediately used his strength to tighten his grip.

The baton—here you go!

The arms begin to swing vigorously, the legs begin to actively press down and fold, the chest rises and the head rises, completing the transition between the body's center of gravity and running technique.

Next - just sprint to the end!
  "The last shot - the Magic City team represented by Liu Xiang challenges the defending champion Guangxi team! 』

"oops! Liu Xiang started a little too early! The first to complete the handover was the Guangxi team!

"Guangxi team's young player Wen Hao took the lead! He goes all out and strides forward! Leaving all the other teams behind! 』

Amid the cheers and shouts of more than 4 spectators, the men's 100×m final entered a fierce stage!
  It's just that the fierce battle on the field exceeded many people's expectations.

For a large portion of the audience who do not understand track and field, the 110-meter hurdles seems to be no different from the 100-meter hurdles, except that there is an extra 10 meters of distance and ten more hurdles.

Therefore, as an Olympic champion, Liu Xiang should be very strong in running the 4×100 meter relay.

Obviously before the handover of the third and fourth batons was completed, there was not much gap left between Yang Yaozu and Pang Guibin. Why did Liu Xiang fall behind in the blink of an eye?
  But, I don’t have that much time to think!

The 100-meter dash, a sport that pursues extreme speed, is fleeting. Most of the spectators in the stadium and in front of the TV suppressed the doubts and confusion in their hearts and devoted themselves to the fierce competition.

On the track, Pang Guibin, who had completed his mission, was waving his arms vigorously and constantly cheering for Wen Hao who was running towards the finish line.

The worries hidden deep in my heart before the game are now gone.

This kid Wen Hao really gave him a big surprise!

I originally thought that it would be difficult for him to assume the important task of the fourth battalion, and he might be gradually overtaken by many famous players, but judging from the lead he has achieved, even if Gong Wei is replaced, it will be nothing more than that!
  "Go Wenhao! Champion! Champion!!!"

Wen Hao did not hear this hoarse cry with all his strength.

In this stadium that accommodates more than 40,000 people, thousands of sounds converged into one place, forming a thunderous wave of sound, beating his beating heart like a drum.

The blood in the body is rushing, and the feet are as fast as flying. Carrying the call from the depths of the mountain, we rush to the finish line together!
  『全力冲刺！压线！39秒45！』    『年仅17岁的小将文浩，用近乎完美的第四棒表现，帮助广西队实现了全运会男子4×100米项目的卫冕！』

"Dear viewers, the youngest track and field gold medalist in the history of the National Games was born at this moment! 』

"The Magic City team followed closely and won the runner-up. Liu Xiang made a slight mistake in the handover. However, judging from the position gap between him and Wen Hao, it would be difficult for him to defeat Wen Hao even without this mistake. 』

"A National Games silver medal may not be perfect for Liu Xiang, but it is a historical breakthrough for the Modu team, because before this, the Modu team has never won the men's 4×100 meter event at the National Games. Achieve top three results』

The fleeting relay final was over, but the noise in the stadium did not subside.

Withdrawing from the state of being fully immersed in speed competition, the cheers in my ears gradually became clearer. What was ringing in the stadium was clearly a cheer of "Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang".

On the runway, the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time quickly surrounded Liu Xiang with long guns and short cannons, and the flash lights suddenly clicked.

As for Wen Hao, the champion, few people care about him.

Facing the only four reporters around him, Wen Hao had a smile on his face, but he was filled with sadness in his heart.

Memories of the same moment in the previous life flashed through my mind, and I vaguely remembered that Gong Wei couldn't suppress his emotions and burst into tears after facing this "treatment".

It's really not easy.

On the domestic track and field track, Liu Xiang's influence is extremely cruel to the athletes competing with him.

For 100-meter athletes, the speed that Liu Xiang was originally "proud of" is not an insurmountable barrier, but the roar of the audience's cheers is a true portrayal of the neglect and foil they suffered.

Gong Wei cried when he won the championship, and Liu Xiang smiled when cashing out. The track and field events of the previous Tenth National Games came to an end in such a dramatic way.

And all this seems to indicate to a certain extent the situation that Liu Xiang will face in the Yanjing Olympics after withdrawing from the competition due to injury.

Of course Wen Hao wouldn't cry.

He is a newcomer in the sports world. Even if he faces this kind of situation where no one cares about winning the championship, he lacks the bitterness that Gong Wei has accumulated for a long time in his previous life.

So, he wants to laugh!
  Smiling in front of the camera, smiling and waving to the Guangxi audience who only accounted for a small portion of the field, smiling and hugging his teammates to celebrate the victory.

However, as a champion, you will still be given the treatment you deserve.

After a while, Wenhao and his teammates received an interview invitation from CCTV.

Arriving at the interview area aside, Tong Rina, the famous "mudslide in the interview world", had been waiting for a long time.

After learning that this interview was broadcast live nationwide, the three big brothers became nervous, as if the microphone in Tong Rina's hand was hotter than the baton.

Wen Hao, a second-generation man, behaved with ease when faced with Tong Rina's seemingly difficult questions one after another.

Especially Tong Rina asked:

"Although you helped the Guangxi team win the championship today, we can see through the replay that Liu Xiang made a mistake in the handover, and he let it go when he couldn't catch up in the last 20 meters."

"If you and Liu Xiang were asked to run a hundred meters in an upright manner, what do you think your chances of winning would be?"

After asking such a question, Wen Hao's answer immediately shocked the national audience.

In the camera, a young man with fairer complexion and green face compared to his teammates around him smiled confidently and replied:

"When it comes to hurdles, I'm not as good as Brother Xiang. But if it's a 100-meter race, I'll win a hundred times if I run a hundred times!"
