Chen Qiang's final height was locked at 2.12 meters.

Today, Chen Qiang was a little bit lucky and in a little bit bad, so he failed to set a higher record. However, the score of 2.12 meters has reached the goal set by Chen Qiang before the game.

More importantly, Chen Qiang conquered these German audiences on the scene.

Having set five world records in a row, even the most picky person has to admit the greatness Chen Qiang created in high jump.

After the competition, there is another link, that is, the German head of state meets the Olympic champion.

At that time, the host's head of state received the Olympic champion, which was also a normal process for the Olympics. At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, the head of state of the United States was also arranged to receive the Olympic champion. However, since the Olympics were in Los Angeles, and US President Hoover was in Washington, the vice president did it when he received the champion athlete. Chen Qiang did not meet US President Hoover either.

At the Berlin Olympics today, there is naturally the process of the head of state to receive the championship. This is the first day after the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The head of state of the Germans watched the competition on site, so he will receive the champion athletes in the private room.

The historical Berlin Olympic high jump champion was Gunie Johnson. Because he was a black athlete, the German head of state ignored Gunie Johnson at all when he received him.

Now, the person who was received was replaced by Chen Qiang, which is definitely much better for the German head of state than meeting black athletes.

After China and Germany signed the Sino-German Barter Trade Contract, the two countries were considered half of the allies. Germany imported a large amount of resources from China, and China also obtained a lot of weapons from Germany. This is how the German equipment divisions of the Central Army were built.

Although the German head of state is a very extreme racist, it is much better to meet Chinese than to meet blacks or Jews. Therefore, in the Berlin Olympics in history, the German head of state has also met some members of the Chinese delegation. Now meeting Chen Qiang is also a plan.

Chen Qiang met another historical celebrity, but this time Chen Qiang did not dare to take the other party to ask for a photo with shame. During the entire reception process, Chen Qiang tried his best to be neither humble nor arrogant, nor polite, and that's all.

...

"Read the newspaper, on the first day of the Olympics, Chen Qiang won the high jump championship!"

"In the Berlin Olympics, Chen Qiang won the first gold medal for China!"

"Chen Qiang broke the world record five times in a row!"

The next day, news of Chen Qiang winning the championship appeared in domestic newspapers.

When Chen Qiang went to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, there were not many reports in domestic newspapers. It was not until Chen Qiang won the first gold medal that news about Chen Qiang appeared in the domestic media, and the people only knew that an athlete like Chen Qiang had participated in the Olympics.

This time, the Berlin Olympics is different. The newspapers have started to report on China's participation in the Olympics very early. The Chinese Olympic delegation went to Berlin this time, which made great contributions, so the people in China pay more attention to the Berlin Olympics.

The news of Chen Qiang's championship was passed back to China, which immediately caused a sensation. All the newspapers were sold out, and the streets and alleys were discussing Chen Qiang's winning of the Olympic gold medal.

In fact, except for intellectuals, most ordinary people still don’t know much about sports. Perhaps they can’t even tell the difference between high jump and long jump, and they don’t know what the Olympics are. But they know that Chen Qiang has won glory for the country again!

The name "Chen Qiang" has gradually become a symbol in the minds of the people. In this era when the Northeast fell and the country was constantly losing power and humiliating, perhaps only Chen Qiang could allow ordinary Chinese people to see some hope.

...

The Berlin Olympic Village has a double room, and Chen Qiang and Cheng Jinguan live in the same room. Fortunately, Cheng Jinguan doesn't snore at night, so Chen Qiang rests well. The next morning, he came to the Berlin Olympic Stadium in high spirits.

On the morning of August 3, Chen Qiang will participate in the semi-finals of the 100-meter sprint, and in the afternoon, the finals of the 100-meter sprint.

The semi-finals were divided into two groups, with Owens and another American player Frank Wickoff being assigned to the first group, with Swedish player Leonardo Stlanberg and Dutch player Tinus Orsendap.

Chen Qiang was assigned to the second group, with American player Ralph Metcalf and German player Erich Borgemeyer.

Judging from the players' distribution, the first group's strength is obviously much stronger than the second group.

In the second group, Chen Qiang and Ralph Metcalf have an absolute advantage in their strength. Chen Qiang is the world record holder of the 100-meter sprint, while American player Ralph Metcalf's personal best score is 10 seconds 3. The other four people are all one level weaker.

Considering that German player Erich Borchmeyer was assigned to the first group, the intention of this grouping is very obvious, which is to try to make it easier for German players to qualify.

In the first group, Owens and Frank Wickoff were both strong players. Swedish athlete Nat Strangberg also ran a 10.5 second in the rematch yesterday. As for Dutchman Tinus Osendap, he is known as the fastest white athlete in the world. He also ran a 10.5 second in the preliminary round.

In other words, in a group, these four players all advanced to the afternoon finals.

But the semi-finals were a 6-3 match, which means that one of the four people was destined to be eliminated.

There was no suspense in the first group game. After the gunfire of the start, Chen Qiang and Ralph Metcalf were far ahead, and both sides finally qualified with a time of 10.5. The only remaining German athlete won the third place with a time of 10.7 amid the cheers of the home audience, saving the quota for the German team.

After all, this is just a semi-final, and Chen Qiang has reservations, just to ensure that he can advance to the afternoon final.

However, in the second group of the semi-finals, the athletes were trying their best.

In the second group, Jesse Owens should have won the most progress, but it is hard to say about other athletes. Although Frank Wickoff is an American athlete, his strength is only similar to that of two top European masters. In particular, Dutch Tinus Orsendap, who can be known as "the fastest white man in the world", must have two tricks.

The game process was as speculated before the game. Jesse Owens was ahead and led the way in the front, while Frank Wickoff, Tinus Orsendap, and Nat Strangberg, in the back, started fierce competition.

In the end, the three people almost ran side by side and all scored 10.5 seconds, but Swedish athlete Nat Strangberg missed the final because he was slightly behind by a few centimeters.

The six players who advanced to the finals were also confirmed, namely Chen Qiang from China, Jesse Owens from the United States, Ralph Metcalf and Frank Wickoff, the world's fastest white man, Tinus Osendap, and German athlete Erich Borgemeyer.

The final of the 100-meter sprint will be held in the afternoon, and Chen Qiang will also have the first head-on collision with legendary athlete Jesse Owens!

...

On the afternoon of August 3, in the 100-meter sprint final of the Berlin Olympics, six athletes who participated in the final were already standing on the field.

The six contestants began to be introduced on the live broadcast.

"The first one is Jesse Owens from the United States!"

Owens waved symbolically at the audience, but no one in the audience paid attention to him. Black and Jewish people were the least popular in Germany at this time, even if he was the legendary athlete Jesse Owens.

Owens did not care about the audience's cold reactions. On the contrary, he felt a different kind of excitement in his heart, because he could finally have a head-on showdown with Chen Qiang!

"I've been waiting for four years this day!" Owens looked to the right and then saw Chen Qiang.

Jesse Owens' parents raised a total of ten children, and he was the youngest of them. The family was originally a sharecropper in the southern United States, but later, with the great migration of African Americans, they left the segregated South and came to Cleveland in the north.

It was also in Cleveland that Owens met his wife Minnie. At that time, Owens was only 15 years old and Minnie was only 13 years old. Both of them were still in junior high school. Their date lasted until high school. In 1932, 17-year-old Minnie gave birth to a daughter for 19-year-old Owens.

That day, Jesse Owens was waiting at the door of the delivery room, anxiously waiting for his daughter's birth.

A black man next to him saw that the young Jesse Owens was a father for the first time, so he handed a newspaper to Owens and asked him to read the newspaper for a while, so he didn't be so nervous.

It was also in that newspaper that Jesse Owens saw Chen Qiang's name for the first time. He still remembered that it was an old newspaper that had expired for two days. The front page of the newspaper was printed with a photo of Chen Qiang standing on the podium, and there was also a line of text: The Chinese Fieryman broke the 100-meter world record!

From that moment on, Chen Qiang's name entered Jesse Owens' vision. It was also from that moment on that moment that Jesse Owens had a new goal: to defeat Chen Qiang and break the world record!

This is not just for honor, but also because he is about to become a father.

A 19-year-old black young man who has not graduated from school but has become a father. What does he use to support his children? Is it because he continues to deliver goods, load goods, or do odd jobs?

Owens wanted to be a qualified father. He wanted to create a better life for his children. He wanted a decent job, but in the United States at that time, it was difficult for a black man to find a decent job. The kind of life of living in a villa, driving a car and raising a dog was not a good match for black man.

The only thing Jesse Owens could think of was to become a great athlete so that he could get money, status, and reputation, at least not have to work hard in a steel mill like his father and brother, but he could only get a meager salary.

Then, when Chen Qiang's achievements at the Los Angeles Olympics were well known to more and more people, the idea of ​​defeating Chen Qiang in Jesse Owens became stronger and stronger and stronger!

Chen Qiang defeated the most powerful track and field events in the United States with one force. If he could defeat Chen Qiang, he would become a hero in the United States!

So Jesse Owens began to practice hard, and the events he practiced were also sprinting and long jumping. This was the strongest event in the United States and Chen Qiang’s strongest event. What Jesse Owens had to do was to defeat Chen Qiang in this strongest event and regain honor for the United States! Only in this way can Jesse Owens succeed and become famous.

...

The athlete's introduction continues.

"The second way, Chen Qiang from China!"

Chen Qiang was in the second path, and I don’t know if it was the organizer’s intentional arrangement or a coincidence. He happened to be adjacent to Jesse Owens, one first path and the other second path.

When Chen Qiang's name was shouted out on the radio, the audience also gave warm applause.

Among these audiences, many of them have watched yesterday's high jump competition and have witnessed Chen Qiang breaking the world record of high jump five times in a row. They have been conquered by Chen Qiang's performance and are willing to give Chen Qiang encouragement applause.

Before he knew it, Chen Qiang had gained countless fans in Berlin.

Chen Qiang waved to the stands around him, and then he couldn't help but look at Jesse Owens beside him.

Chen Qiang knew that this was an opponent he needed to do his best to defeat.

In history, Jesse Owens' best 10-meter sprint was 10.2 seconds, and in yesterday's rematch, Jesse Owens also ran this result. But according to Chen Qiang's judgment, this 10.2 seconds is definitely not the limit of Jesse Owens. In daily practice, Jesse Owens can definitely run faster.

The 10-second 2-second timer is equivalent to the 10-second 44-second electronic timer. Most future national first-level athletes can run this result. Jesse Owens is known as the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be at this level.

"Maybe even if you run a 10 second, you can't beat Jesse Owens. I have to run according to the 10 second time." Chen Qiang took a deep breath and continued in his heart: "No matter what, you must do your best today!"

The athlete in the third line began to be introduced on the scene, which was German player Erich Borchmeyer.

The appearance of the host player made the audience excited. Although the audience also knew that Erich Borgemeyer's strength was the worst in the finals and he might be the last one, people still hoped that miracles would happen.

The fourth lane is Dutch player Tinus Orsendap, the fastest white man in the world, who is slightly famous in Germany, and many people cheer for him.

Then the two American players on the fifth and sixth roads were in a state of no interest. When they were introduced, there were almost no faults, and no one cheered. There was no big booing sound, which was enough to give face.

The two American athletes also shook their heads helplessly. They were mentally prepared before they came. As black athletes, they would inevitably be subject to various targeting and discrimination in Germany.

...

Six contestants stood on the starting line, waiting for the starter to give the starting command.

The starter pulled the trigger. After a gunshot, Chen Qiang turned into an arrow and rushed out of the starting line.

After a powerful acceleration, Chen Qiang quickly arrived at the twenty-meter position. At this time, Chen Qiang was surprised to find that Jesse Owens was actually running side by side with him!

Chen Qiang has the most advanced squat starting skills, so his starting speed has always been the fastest, and he is always able to gain a lead in the starting stage.

But today, this is not the case. Jesse Owens' starting speed is not inferior to Chen Qiang.

Jesse Owens was also extremely surprised at this time.

Jesse Owens is also very confident about his starting lineup. At least among American athletes, no one can compare to him at the starting lineup. In previous competitions, he was always able to take the lead in the starting lineup.

However, in today's game, Chen Qiang's starting speed was not inferior to Jesse Owens. Jesse Owens vaguely felt that Chen Qiang's starting speed was slightly faster than himself.

Chen Qiang's start depends on advanced starting skills, while Jesse Owens' start depends on his abnormal physical fitness. In terms of starting skills, no one in the world can compare with Chen Qiang, but in terms of physical fitness, no one in the world can compare with Jesse Owens.

From this aspect, Jesse Owens is a real sprint genius. He can compete with Chen Qiang's starting skills that have been ahead of nearly a century by relying on his physical fitness. If Jesse Owens has Chen Qiang's skills, it would be rare and ordinary to run within 10 seconds.

In the blink of an eye, both of them increased their speed to the extreme, and under the naked eye, the two of them almost ran side by side, and it was impossible to tell who was ahead or who was behind.

The other four players were left behind by Chen Qiang and Jesse Owens. It is obvious that the champion will be born among the two of them!

In the box in the main stand, the German head of state also looked at the track with a nervous look. He was not really concerned about the progress of the game, but was worried that Jesse Owens would meet him after winning the game. The German head of state did not want to shake hands with a black man.

...

On the track, Chen Qiang had already sensed that Jesse Owens was very fast. Even though he had already performed to the extreme, he still could not take the lead in Jesse Owens.

"Owens' sprinting skills can only be considered good, but his physical fitness is indeed perverted. If I want to beat him, it depends on the last 20 meters!" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

Chen Qiang relies on technology in the 100-meter sprint sport. He firmly believes that athletes with his own technical flow can keep their speed until the end.

As for Jesse Owens, who was in the process of flowing, it is hard to say whether he could maintain this speed until the end.

Because people are always tired, athletes like Owens who rely on their bodies to support their speed will definitely not be able to continue to maintain their original speed once their physical strength decreases. An athletes like Chen Qiang who rely on technology to support their speed do not need to worry about this.

This is like in basketball, those muscles or spring legs that rely on physical fitness will decline rapidly once their peak age, and will soon fall to no ball to play. And those skilled pitchers or point guards can still go to a champion team to hug their thighs even when they reach the age of 35 or 36.

So now Chen Qiang is betting that his body flow is not as continuous as that of technical flow. He betting that Jesse Owens will slow down in the last 20 meters due to the decline in physical fitness. That is his chance to surpass Jesse Owens!

...

50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters...

The two are still running side by side, and it is hard to tell the difference.

Jesse Owens was a little anxious, a situation he had unexpectedly expected. In previous games, when he ran to a distance of 70 meters, he had already thrown his opponent away, but Chen Qiang was still able to go along with him.

More importantly, Chen Qiang's speed did not slow down at all.

"Chen Qiang is more powerful than I thought!" Jesse Owens said in his heart, but at this time he was still full of confidence, and he felt that he could win.

At this moment, Jesse Owens remembered his four-year-old daughter again.

"Geglia, dad will definitely win the Olympic gold medal!"

At this time, the two contestants finally arrived at 80 meters.

The next moment, Jesse Owens suddenly felt that Chen Qiang seemed to be a little ahead of him.

"Is it an illusion?" Jesse Owens was slightly shocked.

Others may not be able to see this slight lead, but top athletes like Jesse Owens are much more sensitive than ordinary people, so he noticed it immediately.

Jesse Owens suddenly realized that he had to speed up, so he began to exert his last force.

From Jesse Owens' discovery that he was lagging behind, until he started exerting force, it was only half a second. If it were an ordinary person, half a second would not be enough for him to make a judgment and react.

Jesse Owens made a lot of effort, but he found that the distance between Chen Qiang and him was not only not narrowed, but was a little bigger!

"Chen Qiang has become faster? No, it's not that Chen Qiang has become faster, but that I have become slower!" Jesse Owens has realized this.

Jesse Owens will indeed be a little slower in the last 20 meters. Even if he has extremely perverted physical fitness, he will not be able to maintain his peak speed until the last 20 meters.

However, in previous competitions, Jesse Owens had already taken the lead by running to the last 20 meters, and even if Jesse Owens was a little slower in the last 20 meters, it would be faster than other athletes.

Unfortunately, today he met a very strong athlete who could maintain his peak speed in the last 20 meters.

In fact, in the last 20 meters, Jesse Owens was only a little slower than Chen Qiang, but this was the world's top contest after all. The so-called masters fight, the outcome depends on this little!

"Oh no, I'm going to lose! What should I do?" Jesse Owens became more and more anxious.

However, at this time, there was less than ten meters away from the finish line. The athlete could run the ten meters before the finish line in less than 1 second. Even if Jesse Owens thought of a method, he had no time to take action to deal with it!

...

"Swoosh!" Chen Qiang transformed into a ray of light and shadow and crossed the finish line.

It was also a ray of light and shadow, and there was Jesse Owens.

"Who won?" someone asked.

"That Chinese won!" someone immediately replied.

In the stands, the audience who were parallel to the finish line first identified, and Chen Qiang passed the finish line earlier.

The next moment, cheers rang from all directions, and these German audiences who had been conquered by Chen Qiang gave their congratulations to Chen Qiang without hesitation.

The German head of state also breathed a sigh of relief in the private room on the rostrum.

"I almost let that black man win!" The German head of state said to himself, a glad expression flashed across his face.

However, the next second, his face showed a dissatisfaction again.

"Why are the champions not us Germans!"

...

Jesse Owens, who rushed through the finish line, was still in a sleepwalking state, and he was unable to accept that he had lost the game for the time being.

"Jesse, don't care, he is Chen Qiang after all!" Ralph Metcalf walked up to comfort Owens.

"I want to defeat him because he is Chen Qiang, but I lost!" Owens clenched his fists unwillingly.

"Don't be discouraged, this is just your first contest with him. There are 200 meters and a long jump next! I know that your 200 meters are stronger than 100 meters, and you can run within 21 seconds. There are also long jumps, you are the world record holder, you can jump 8 meters and 13 meters, while Chen Qiang can only jump 8 meters and 01." Ralph Metcalf continued to comfort him.

Jesse Owens has the ability to run within 21 seconds in the 200-meter event, while Chen Qiang's world record held by 200 meters is exactly 21 seconds, so in this regard, Jesse Owens has the ability to break Chen Qiang's world record.

In the long jump event, in the game in May, Jesse Owens jumped 8.13 meters, breaking the world record of 8.01 meters maintained by Chen Qiang. Jesse Owens also has an advantage in this regard.

Ralph Metcalf reminded him that Jesse Irvingsu was instantly resurrected with full blood, and his previous depression was wiped out.

"Ralph, you're right. The game has just begun. This is just our first contest. I will definitely defeat Chen Qiang in the next 200 meters and long jump!" Jesse Owens said.

It was at this moment that the referee announced the player's results.

"First way, 10 seconds!"

Everyone looked at Jesse Owens, and many people looked at him with an incredible look.

The previous world record was 10.2 seconds set by Chen Qiang. Jesse Owens had also achieved the same result, but did not break the world record. In the game just now, Jesse Owens had successfully broken the 10.2 world record.

It’s a pity that Jesse Owens is second, so before he broke the world record, Chen Qiang upgraded the world record to a higher level.

Everyone looked at Chen Qiang again, and they were looking forward to Chen Qiang's achievements.

The referee also looked up at Chen Qiang and announced: "The second stroke, 10 seconds!"

People looked at the referee as if waiting for the next number in his mouth, but the referee shut up and stopped talking.

The scene was quiet for three seconds.

"Boom..."

A chaotic discussion immediately sounded around.

"How many 10 seconds? What's the Chinese guy running for 10 seconds? I didn't seem to hear it clearly."

"I heard from the referee, 10 seconds!"

"I know it's 10 seconds, but what's the key is 10 seconds?"

"It's just 10 seconds! The referee said it for 10 seconds!"

"Did he run for 10 seconds?"

"10 seconds of complete? Oh my god, a 100-meter sprint can actually run to 10 seconds!"

"The 10th mark, someone finally reached the 10th second mark today!"

At this moment, the audience seemed to have forgotten to cheer and applaud. Almost everyone was doing the 10-second complete result!

In the Berlin Olympics 100-meter sprint final, Chen Qiang once again broke the world record and improved the human 100-meter sprint result to the 10-second mark!

Chapter completed!
