The London Bowl was filled with electronic commands that the athletes had heard countless times.
Referee Alan Bell was also ready at this time.
He raised the electronic starting gun in his hand.
Su Shen followed the electronic command and pressed his hands on the latest track with a long rhombus grid structure. Maybe others are not so used to it, but he has run it countless times. This track is slightly harder than other race tracks.
The biggest advantage of the new type of track is that it can return to its original shape faster, so this puts higher demands on athletes' strength.
In other words, if you are strong, you can take advantage of the fast recovery of this track and gain benefits, but if you are weak, you will definitely not be able to run well on this new type of track.
And not to mention, the spikes on Su Shen’s feet were designed for this runway.
This material was developed together with the National Academy of Sciences and Aeronautics. Compared with the material developed by Nike and NASA, it is not bad at all. Even because Su Shen knows the future historical trend, it can be more consistent and reduce the cost of trial and error.
"The requirements for the spikes we designed are that firstly, they can compress the track, and secondly, the energy generated by the compression is fed back to the players instead of being absorbed by the track."
“I want the spikes to not penetrate the track surface to create grip, and to reduce the time from stepping on the spikes to leaving the track.”
This was Su Shen's initial request.
Because this kind of track is harder than the traditional racing track, in order to maximize its characteristics, more compressive spikes must be used. In this regard, Su Shen looks more awesome than Bolt's Puma feet.
It is much more technologically advanced.
As for his extremely long winter training this time, despite being so busy, he still had to work hard on his physical fitness, especially the multiplier of his leg strength, just for now.
Just for this new track at the London Bowl.
Just so that I can better utilize my new running shoes.
Su Shen really went to the extreme for this shot, taking everything into consideration, from technique to body, from the track to the running shoes, it was like "nothing was left untouched".
Because he knows that his opponent here deserves to do this.
If he doesn't do this, even if he restarts, he will feel that there is little hope and the possibility of defeating him will be slim.
All of this is to increase your winning rate.
Even if it's a mosquito's thigh.
He wants it too.
He didn't want to miss it either.
Finally, he felt that he had spent ten years and was finally ready for everything.
Now. Ready.
Ten years of reopening.
What is the effect?
The real test is not the shot in Daegu last year.
But this time in London this year.
This is the first real big test for myself.
Because what he has to do now is what all track and field athletes have wanted to do over the years but have been afraid to do what they can't do.
Want to be the God of Dash.
Pull down the horse.
"set."
The left foot is in front and the right foot is in the back.
Following the electronic command, Su Shen slowly bent down, stepped on the pedals with both feet, then put his hands in front of him, making a standard squatting posture.
Before comparison, Randy saw that Su Shen only needed half a season of actual combat to master the bent position, forward angle position, distance between the two feet, the angle between the starting foot and the body, etc.
Even people who don't care much about the details of track and field would still think that Su Shen has not changed his technique at all.
But the one who had changed the front and back position of his starting foot always reminded everyone that Su Shen had completed a very difficult and intensive major self-surgery.
The fingers of Su Shen's hands exerted slight force to form an arch shape, preparing for elastic support before starting.
Start running with your arms bent, supporting yourself.
The temperature here is pretty good.
When I felt the wind behind me, it was exactly as I imagined.
For this race, even if it was in London, Su Shen had set up a track at Strawberry Hill in advance and had the right time, place, and people.
he knows.
Su Shen himself knew it.
I want to achieve an amazing result in the Olympic Games.
It could very well be this time.
As for Rio, the rest period is too short and the schedule is extremely unreasonable, making it difficult to achieve results.
Even if I arrived in Tokyo, it would be impossible for me to still have the peak and extreme physical functions that I have now in my early twenties.
so.
If you do the math, you'll know.
This shot is not only a crucial shot for Bolt, but also for Su Shen.
It was even his best shot in the Olympics.
It's here.
"Don't be anxious, don't rush away." Li Tao and Yang Jian both whispered in a quiet atmosphere.
The reason why I say this is entirely because Bolt's tragedy in Daegu last year was too tragic.
No one wants to repeat the same mistakes here.
Otherwise, there are not many four years in life.
This is especially true for athletes, especially track and field athletes, who don’t have four years to waste.
Historically, except for Martina who wanted to take a gamble, almost everyone reacted very slowly. Five or six of them were below 0.160s. Think about it, what speed is this. Compare it to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
, the average response dropped by more than 0.02s.
Because Martina has been eliminated in this game, Su Shen knows that no one will be fast.
Everyone is very stressed.
Even Bolt, who looked confident next to him, dared not lose concentration at this time.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
At the starting line, there is the sound of adjusting your breathing.
Everyone's rhythm and habits are different.
But this kind of sound made the scene more and more tense.
Yes, even Bolt is very nervous.
Su Shen had carefully read this guy's post-race interview and autobiography. He said that before he started, he had only one thought in his mind, which kept spinning and couldn't get rid of it.
That is--
Don’t make a mistake when starting. Don’t make a mistake when starting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, at this time, even if he is called Usain Bolt, he will be under tremendous pressure, and no one will be spared.
Damn it, what happened at the World Championships in Daegu won’t happen again, right?
God, why do you have to remind me of this at this time?
At this time, Bolt felt bored and panicked. These people were here to defeat him, and he must not fail again in the Olympics. Fortunately, he suddenly thought of Mills. It seemed that he had no choice but to look for Mills.
The first thought in Bolt's mind.
"Don't start too hastily, rather slow down, and you will be enough to win the world championship."
call--
Yes, the coach is right, even if I start at an average pace, it is enough.
It doesn’t have to be like the Beijing Olympics, where you can strive for something.
Slower is enough.
At this time, Liu Xiang, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the lounge, was already relaxed. The pain in his Achilles tendon could not affect his mood at all. He even brought a big bag of snacks to eat at this time. Anyway, he was already
Completed his mission.
Anyway, he can retire with success.
From now on, you can eat whatever you want.
This feeling is not bad.
It's really pleasant to grab a big bag of potato chips and put it in your mouth while watching the 100-meter race.
"The 100-meter race pays more attention to the start. Don't be too stressed and make mistakes." Liu Xiang has finished the race and completed the task perfectly. At this moment, Sun Haiping is no longer under pressure and can be with his beloved disciple.
Sit here and enjoy tonight's grand finale.
If it were before, he wouldn't have the heart to think about other people's affairs.
"As long as we don't jump the gun and don't press the gun, it will be fine. After what happened in Daegu last year, everyone will definitely not dare to take risks."
"If you don't suppress the gun, it's all fair."
Sun Haiping's words were very practical and based on his own experience. Even Li Tao and others said the same, and Yuan Guoqiang and the others on the sidelines also thought the same.
After all, the Olympic Games only happen once every four years and the cost is too high.
A bit too expensive.
But at this time, Liu Xiang grabbed a large piece of potato chips, put it in his mouth, bit it off with a snap, and said: "But if you succeed in pressing the gun, others will not dare to press the gun. Doesn't the advantage also be unique?
"
Sun Haiping:......
"You kid, didn't you think so just now? You are really brave. If you mess up, the consequences will be really disastrous."
Sun Haiping was still frightened, but Liu Xiang was chewing potato chips and his voice was a little unclear: "No, do you think I can win the game just now? That Merritt is really strong, terrifyingly strong."
Thinking about it, it seems that if you don't do this, you probably won't be able to win against Merritt.
That guy is indeed a good runner. Looking at it now, there is nothing wrong with him.
"and……"
While eating potato chips, Liu Xiang stared at the figure on the fifth lane and said softly: "Who said that pressing a gun must be risky? Is it possible that it is also a kind of calculation and science?"
Sun Haiping:???
What?
Is gun control also a science?
He felt that his brain was somewhat insufficient.
I just wanted to say something.
Bang——————————————————————
Gunshots.
Ringed.
Men's 100m trapeze at the 30th Summer Olympics.
here we go.
…
At the scene, Su Shen was also counting silently in his mind.
three.
two.
one.
Move out!!!
Walk!!!
Bang——————————————————————
Electronic gunfire sounded.
Athletes in the eight stages all started their own starting kicks and stretches.
This shot, even Zhang Peimeng, did not dare to be careless. It is a bit similar to Su Shen in Tokyo in 2021. He finally entered the finals. He also wanted to leave a statistically significant result for himself in the finals. Furthermore,
, the fatigue of breaking through the limit in the semi-finals also made his nerves a little tired.
This cannot be recovered in two hours.
So, this shot.
Even the activation master Zhang Peimeng.
They all responded generally and tended to be conservative.
Only 0.145s.
With this reaction speed, if it weren't for Su Shen, you know, it would have been the first reaction speed in this scene.
One can imagine.
How slow are the other people's reactions at this time?
Because Zhang Peimeng was on the far side, he didn't even think about it. His reaction was so conservative, but he still seemed to be in first place?
How slow are these people to react?
How slow?
Very slow.
Next to him, Powell also only had 0.155s
Blake was as slow as ever, 0.179s, but it is normal for him to be slow. He has not been faster in the past few years.
He himself never expects his own starting reaction.
Anyway, he relies on his pure running to make a living.
Blake has had this kind of thinking and mentality in these years.
So it doesn't matter what the reaction is. It was only when his ability declined and he was injured that he couldn't return to his peak running, that he started to study this specifically.
Only then did I realize, hey, it turns out that I am actually quite talented in this area.
But that's a story for another day.
Him now.
It’s still the same level of keeping eight and competing for eight.
Gatlin didn't look nervous, but his starting reaction was actually very bad, only 0.178 seconds.
It's not even as good as Usain Bolt who says Amen silently before the game and Buddha can't herd cows.
This time there is no Thompson from 2008. Everyone is very conservative, and they are the generals among the dwarfs.
Bolt's reaction to this shot was 0.165s. In fact, if he had not been affected by Daegu, he would indeed have achieved better results, but unfortunately, this is history.
At this moment, Bolt felt in his heart——
Great!
I successfully rushed out, so there should be no false starts!
That's enough!
Mills also breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that as long as Bolt ran out and didn't jump ahead, it would be safe.
No big problem anymore.
The gold medal belongs to Jamaica.
But at this moment, a figure looked like a red rocket.
Suddenly it was like teleporting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without even blinking, he had already "teleported" in front of everyone.
Just like Liu Xiang said.
If everyone starts conservatively and you react quickly enough, your advantage will only be greater than usual.
Everything has two sides, it depends on how you understand it.
Some people think it is a dangerous thing, but some people see it as an opportunity.
If one trades off the other, the advantage will be even greater.
What's more, Su Shen's shot on London was the one he had trained the most and had the most profound memory.
I have watched the Big Five showdown in London so many times that I can’t even count.
Coupled with the excitement of singing before the game, his start reached his own limit.
Even the moment he went out, he felt...
Damn it.
Will it?
A little too fast.
How fast?
It was so fast that almost all the athletes thought Su Shen had jumped the gun.
Soon, even Yuan Guoqiang, Yu Shili, Feng Shuyong, and even Li Tao and Yang Jian in the live broadcast room were all without exception, secretly screaming in their hearts that it was terrible.
I think Su Shen has this gun.
It was a robbery.
Even coaches Mills and Francis, as well as Gay and Gatlin, all agreed.
It's almost reached this point.
It was already to the point where everyone thought that they had jumped the gun.
Then……
But he didn't rush away.
There was no beeping recall sound.
This caused these people's inner gloating or nervousness and fear to take a 180-degree turn at the same time.
"This kid..."
"It's really..."
"How audacious!"
This is what Yu Weili opened his mouth but couldn't say at all.
His mouth was completely filled with shock, and no sound came out.
And this time.
The fifth reaction time given by the pressure-sensitive starting device is——
0.1……00.
Not much at all.
Nothing less.
It seems just right.
PS: There are actually some people who have done it in 0.100s. It’s not like no one has done it. I remember there should be three or four, and there was one in the indoor competition, so it’s not metaphysics, it’s not the only one.
The above psychological reactions of Bolt are all from Bolt's own autobiography and interviews, so they do not weaken Bolt's gun mentality. I hereby explain that I will continue to write and write, and I will try to finish it tomorrow.
