"Take it!" As Chen Zhilong shouted, Su Feng reached out and firmly grasped the baton in the relay preparation area, and then accelerated and rushed out.
"Bang bang bang" a huge stamping sound sounded, and the powerful stamping on the ground caused Su Feng's speed to surge to the limit in the shortest time.
"Cross the line!"
"Coach, what's the time?"
After Su Feng crossed the line, several people from the relay team gathered directly around Coach Tian to see what the score was.
This time, because Su Feng returned to the team, all the main members of the relay team were assembled, so recording equipment was installed. Before the World Championships, Coach Tian also had to get an accurate feel.
"Wow!"
"38 seconds 10"
"impossible."
This result would have been fourth place in the 2000 Olympics, but it would have been tied for second in the 2004 Olympics.
Of course, this has something to do with the U.S. team's curse of having problems every time they hand over the baton in a major competition since 2004.
But no matter what, this result is enough to compete for a medal.
Su Feng recalled that the first place in the 2008 Olympic Games was Jamaica's 37.10 seconds, a new world record. The previous world record was 37.40 seconds.
Second place went to Trinidad and Tobago in 38.06 seconds.
The third place went to the Japanese team in 38.15 seconds.
Later, the gold medal was canceled because of Jamaica's first shot involving drugs. Trinidad and Tobago replaced the gold medal, and the Japanese team replaced the silver medal.
At that time, the American team was eliminated in the preliminaries due to mistakes.
The Chinese team entered the finals historically, but had no results due to fouls. However, judging from the results of the preliminaries and previous results, the Chinese team's strength at that time was probably able to run to 38 seconds 40. Even without mistakes,
The chances of winning a medal are not high. Of course, for the Chinese team, reaching the finals is already a historic breakthrough.
But at the time, Su Feng felt a little uncomfortable watching the Japanese team win medals in China with record-breaking results.
But now, it has nothing to do with him whether the Japanese team wins a medal or not. The Chinese team's performance will definitely be better than that of the Japanese team.
But the problem now is that track and field in the United States is booming now. The value of each American sprinter has increased exponentially. They will definitely pay more attention to every gold medal. Even if it is a team event, they will probably work harder.
Go to training, history has changed, and it’s hard to say whether the U.S. team will still make mistakes by then.
Furthermore, the original US team did not have Justin Gatlin. Gatlin was originally suspended in 2006 and was only lifted from the ban in 10 years.
But now, Justin Gatlin is fully capable of catching up with the BJ Olympics. The strength of the American team will be even higher, and it will be even harder to beat them.
Jamaica's first player involved in drugs may not be involved in drugs this time. If this is the case, the Chinese team will really not even think about winning the championship.
Even if Su Feng can balance Bolt's time of 9.69 seconds, what will happen to Powell? Apart from Powell and Bolt, the other two people in Jamaica can also break ten seconds.
At most, the Chinese team plus Zhang Peimeng can defeat an ordinary player from Jamaica, but Powell and another Jamaican player are enough to block the Chinese team's hope of winning.
Based on this calculation, if there are no accidents for the American team and the Jamaican team, the Chinese team is still sure to win the bronze medal, but the silver medal will have to be earned with the American team, and the possibility of the gold medal is really not high.
"Unless" Su Feng stood still after hearing the results. He thought about it carefully at this time. "Unless there is another ten-breaking result, then one person from Jamaica will be eliminated. In this case, only Powell will be left."
.
"Su Feng, what's wrong with you? This result is good enough. Although I may not have the same chance of winning the gold medal as you, winning a medal is worthy of the country's hopes."
After Coach Tian dealt with the surrounding players, he saw that his general was still standing there thinking about something, and couldn't help but jokingly asked. He was already very satisfied with this result.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm also thinking about the results. We do have hope of winning medals, but winning gold medals is difficult."
"Yes!" Coach Tian sighed with emotion.
"The U.S. team is too strong. It was their mistake in 2004. In the 2008 Olympics, although Green retired, Gatlin came up again. For comparison, their true level is based on the 2000 Sydney Olympics, 37 seconds 61,
It is indeed a disappointing result.”
"Indeed!" Su Feng agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart, but he couldn't say.
Even if Jamaica's time of 37.10 seconds was canceled because Carter was involved in drugs, if Carter was not involved in drugs, the result would not be much different, and it is not terrible.
What can really be considered terrifying is the 2012 London Olympics.
At that time, the 4×100 meters was no longer a matter of other countries. It became the competition between the United States and Jamaica. Both teams were at their peak in history and launched the strongest 4×100 meters showdown in Olympic history.
Su Feng's blood boiled with excitement when he saw it.
The two teams took the lead from the first leg, and were tied in the third leg. The fourth leg was handed over almost at the same time. Then Bolt showed his strong late-range ability, and finally won the championship with a world record time of 36 seconds 84.
, also brought the 4×100 time of a human man within 37 seconds for the first time.
The final time of the American team was 37.04 seconds, and the third place was Trinidad and Tobago in 38.12 seconds. Although they were only one place behind, the results were completely different.
"The road is long!" Su Feng sighed with emotion.
According to the original history, the Chinese team really didn’t see any light in the men’s 4×100m in 2008 and 2012. It was not until 2016 that Tang Xingqiang, Xie Zhenye, Su Bingtian, and Zhang Peimeng broke out in performance, and then they got it.
the fifth place.
Then came the third place result in the Tokyo Olympics that the Chinese people are talking about.
It can be said that although the Chinese team has Su Feng, at the same time, the American team and the Jamaican team also have the strongest lineups in history. It will not be easy to win.
"Come on, let's have another group." Thinking of this, Su Feng stopped thinking about it and just gave it a try.
And judging from the situation of later generations, the Japanese team Ryota Yamagata, Shota Iizuka, Shohide Kiryu, and Yuki Koike once ran a best time of 37.60 seconds in the Olympics.
The best time of Ryota Yamagata is 9.95 seconds, Shota Iizuka and Shohide Kiryu are 9.98 seconds, and Yuki Koike is 10.05 seconds.
If the technical level is the same, if the Chinese team is replaced by Su Feng, Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, and Zhang Peimeng, the results will be greatly improved, and they may not be able to compete with the Jamaican team at its peak, turning the two heroes into a three-power competition.
"Okay, let's have another group. Didn't you hear what Su Feng said?" Coach Tian smiled. As the most famous athlete, it is natural that Su Feng is willing to take the lead in training. Not only does it save himself
It's troublesome, but it can also lead others to train.
"Su Feng has worked so hard, who can complain about training being hard?"
