Chen Qiang bent down, held the ground firmly with both hands, and carefully adjusted the center of gravity of his body.
This is the third time he has stood on this field in the preliminary round, the semi-finals, and he has gradually become familiar with this field.
The cinder on the ground was not very delicate and a little thrust, but Chen Qiang was used to these things. He adjusted his breathing and allowed his body to enter the competition state as much as possible.
Gradually, he entered a special state, as if he was just immersed in his own world, and his opponents and the audience around him were all ignored.
This is focus, the most important thing for the competition and the most basic thing. No matter what sport it is, the coach will ask the athletes to keep focused during the competition.
"Everyone is here, prepare..." The commander raised his gun high and pointed the muzzle into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, with a gunshot, Chen Qiang rushed out like an arrow from the string.
"This start is a bit bad!" Chen Qiang realized this at the first time.
In sprinting, some athletes are good at starting, while others are not good at starting. However, it is certain that no athlete can achieve perfect every start. Even athletes of Bolt's level often make mistakes at the start.
Chen Qiang's start this time was a failed start. His reaction time at the beginning was not slow, but his starting movement posture was somewhat deformed. The deformation of this technical movement also caused him to lose some time during the start.
"Is it because this is the final, I am too nervous? Or is it because Liu Changchun puts too much pressure on me?" This idea flashed through Chen Qiang's mind, but he was not confused about this. He is now in the competition, and he has no time to worry about mistakes. All he has to do now is to run the next step and run every step well.
He pushed the ground and pushed the ground hard, Chen Qiang never pushed the ground so hard in the competition.
He was already slow to start, and now he has to exert the power of running and rushing skills on the way so that he can make up for the time he has lost.
After a few steps, Chen Qiang felt that he had regained the rhythm of kicking the ground, so he began to add the technique of swinging his thighs.
The rhythm lost at the beginning was finally made up for it, and Chen Qiang began to enter his own state.
At the same time, Chen Qiang divided some energy and began to observe the situation of the players around him.
Just by scanning the corner of his eyes, Chen Qiang saw Liu Changchun!
Among the six contestants, only Liu Changchun can go along with Chen Qiang.
...
Liu Changchun has also seen that Chen Qiang is on the way with him.
"This Chen Qiang's speed is indeed very fast, and he can actually keep up with me!" Liu Changchun was still a little surprised. After all, Chen Qiang was only sixteen years old, and being able to have such speed at this age was enough to surprise Liu Changchun.
At this time, Liu Changchun actually did not have any spare energy. Since the start, he has been running with all his strength. After all, this is the final of the National Games. Liu Changchun could not deliberately spare energy such a top domestic event.
However, Liu Changchun went on the battle with injuries, and his injuries greatly affected his performance. If it were Liu Changchun under normal conditions, his speed would definitely be much faster than now.
"Chen Qiang's rematch score was 11.6 seconds. If it were just this level, he would not be able to keep up with my speed. Chen Qiang absolutely retained his strength during the rematch! I thought a sixteen-year-old middle school student would be great if he could run 11.6 seconds, but I didn't expect him to be better!"
At this time, Liu Changchun was completely evaluating Chen Qiang in the attitude of a senior. I have to say that Liu Changchun was also very skilled and brave. When the competition was so intense, he still had the heart to comment on his juniors.
However, Liu Changchun does have this qualification, not only because he is the number one person in China's Olympics, but also because he has the strength. He is the only athlete in China who can run within 11 seconds and is the leader in China's sprint at that time.
...
Chen Qiang has used the forward swing technique of his thighs, but he can still be with Liu Changchun.
"It's all the starting pot. If I could do better at the start, I would be in the lead now!" Chen Qiang said in his heart.
In the 100-meter sprint, Chen Qiang has two main advantages: one is the start, which will be much faster than this era.
The second is the running technique on the way. Pushing the ground and swinging the thighs is also a technology that was not available in this era. In order to study these two technologies, the coaches in later generations don’t know how much manpower, material resources and energy they have invested. To describe it inappropriately, this is completely the advantage of higher civilizations over lower civilizations.
As for physical fitness, Chen Qiang is really inferior to Liu Changchun. Liu Changchun's body is really great. He is a natural athlete. Chen Qiang will never be able to ease this talent gap in his whole life.
In today's competition, Chen Qiang did not play his starting advantage. He could only go along with Liu Changchun by relying on his slitting and forward swing skills.
"This is still in an injured state. If he is not injured, I will not be his opponent." Although Chen Qiang didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.
Chen Qiang originally thought that he had a training space and had a sports concept that was nearly a hundred years ahead of this era. With these advantages, he could beat all the athletes of this era, but now it seems that his ideas are still too naive. Liu Changchun already made Chen Qiang feel a little embarrassed.
There will be no lack of talented people in any era. On the sprint track, there are Liu Changchun in China, and there are top athletes like Owens in foreign countries.
"I can't lose, I still have to go to the Far East Sports Games!" Chen Qiang tried hard to maintain his speed, while keeping a close eye on Liu Changchun's movements.
At this moment, he seemed to feel that Liu Changchun seemed to be slower.
"It's not an illusion, Liu Changchun has really slowed down! Wait, I seem to have missed something. Yes, it's the second half, I forgot the second half, I can win this game! I finally found the key to victory!"
Thinking of this, Chen Qiang suddenly felt enlightened.
Because Chen Qiang thought that Liu Changchun's second half was his weakness.
Liu Changchun once participated in the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1936. He was eliminated in the first round of the preliminaries in both Olympic Games. In the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, Liu Changchun arrived in Los Angeles before the opening ceremony and stored the game without even the time difference, so he did not perform as he should. In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, sailing on a boat for a long time, once again affected Liu Changchun's competition status.
However, during the competition, Liu Changchun was not inferior to foreigners in the first half. For example, in the 1932 Olympics, he ranked second in the first 50 meters, but after 70 meters, he was surpassed by three consecutive people and finally ranked fifth.
At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Liu Changchun was also in second place. He was surpassed by third place in the last ten meters. In the end, he was less than two meters away and unfortunately failed to advance to the second round.
In other words, Liu Changchun's ability in the second half is far inferior to his first half.
After figuring this out, Chen Qiang's fire of victory was already burning, because he was 100% sure that in the second half, Liu Changchun would definitely not be able to continue to maintain such a speed!
And that is the key to Chen Qiang's victory.
