"Take it!" Bolt shouted, and then quickly handed the baton to Powell. By this time, Powell's speed had already increased, and he immediately started to accelerate after getting the baton.
Soon, cross the line!
"Coach, how are you?" Powell and others gathered around Sanchez, the head coach of the relay team, and looked at the stopwatch in his hand.
Sanchez looked at several people and nodded with satisfaction, "If you exclude the error in handwriting, the result should be 37 seconds 60."
This is definitely a terrifying result, and it was only achieved by a few people in private.
"I think the acceleration just now could be a little more complete."
"The speed dropped a bit when I handed over the baton just now. I can keep it up for a while."
However, several people were not satisfied with this result. Instead, they were discussing their shortcomings.
"Okay." Sanchez clapped his hands.
"Although your skills are not perfect, they are already very powerful. What's more important is that you are strong enough. Now practice another group, remember the questions just now, and then change them. Do you understand?"
"Got it." The four members of the Jamaican team shouted at the same time. Although the four of them competed in individual events, when they cooperated, they were a unit.
On the way back to the relay position, Powell looked a little serious.
He is not optimistic about his results in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters in this Olympic Games.
Originally there was only Su Feng, and he was still thinking about it, but now he has Bolt. Both of them are now stronger than him. He has little hope of winning the championship. However, this gold medal for the men's relay, the Jamaican team
It is still very advantageous, no, it should be said that it has an absolute advantage.
Even if Gatlin of the American team returns, no one in the United States can stop Bolt's sprint.
As for Su Feng, he has the ability to compete with Usain Bolt, but the results of the rest of the Chinese team were too poor. By the time Su Feng got the baton, he didn't know where he would be left.
As the fourth baton, I can keep Bolt's speed faster before handing over the baton. Bolt's speed ability can also allow me to accelerate as much as I want without any worries. In the current Jamaican team, Bolt is the only one.
His unique ability allows him to run with enough speed in the relay zone, while others are a little behind.
Secondly, Bolt's advantages gained from long-term training in corners are also the key to improved performance.
So the current bat score should be the final bat score in the Olympics.
Previously, Powell ran the first leg, but now it was changed to the fourth leg. The performance of the relay team was immediately improved.
The reason why he made such a change is that teamwork is one aspect, and winning the championship is another aspect. He will do whatever it takes to win the championship.
At the same time, on the other side, Beijing Normal University.
The U.S. delegation has deep pockets. The U.S. Olympic Committee selected Beijing Normal University from more than 20 universities in BJ as the delegation’s residence two years ago, and will pay a rent of US$500,000 for six weeks.
The reason why we chose Beijing Normal University is that the Qiu Jiduan Gymnasium of Beijing Normal University can provide excellent training conditions for the American team.
In addition, Beijing Normal University is only about 20 minutes away from the two major venues, the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and the environment is quiet, making it convenient for the American team to travel to and from.
At this time, the stadium at Beijing Normal University has been closed. Only members of the American team are training here, including the American relay team.
Walt Disco sprinted to the end and was about to enter the relay zone. Tyson Gay, who was third, had already started to accelerate, but Walt Disco's speed suddenly slowed down. When he realized that he might not be able to keep up because he was too slow, he just
It can speed up again, but obviously, it is too late for the relay.
Tyson Gay stopped immediately, while Wells, the relay team coach on the sidelines, walked towards the two people with a frown on his face.
"Disco, you should know Guy's speed. Why are you slowing down so early? Not only is it a waste of your speed, but it also delays the opportunity to hand over the baton."
"Coach, I was wrong." Although Walter Disco said so, the unconvinced look on his face did not hide it at all.
He was wrong, but Leonard Scott, who just handed him the stick, didn't do a good job either. Why did he just talk about himself?
Wells saw the problem, but after frowning, he couldn't say anything else, because this is not a problem that can be corrected in a hurry or if you find a mistake. If you hold on to it now, with the temperament of these athletes, it will be more troublesome later.
American sprinters are all professional athletes. They usually receive compensation and advertising revenue through professional competitions. They will only temporarily gather together for training before participating in the Olympic Games. Such a team will be a ghost unless there is an accident.
Training like this kind of baton handover requires years of mutual familiarity and cooperation to be practiced. Otherwise, either you will be faster or I will be slower, and the baton will either be handed over too early or too late for the other party to catch.
How could it be possible to practice such high-speed coordination in less than a month?
This kind of thing happened in the 2004 Athens Olympics. At that time, it was because of the issue of baton handover that the American team was eliminated directly in the preliminaries.
If it were in the past, Wells would still be confident that the U.S. team would be able to win the championship within a month, because the technology was not good, but the U.S. team's individual strength is too strong, and this weakness can be completely ignored, as long as there are no bat drops, etc.
Just the violations.
But not this time!
As a professional coach, Wells directly identified the Jamaican team as the biggest opponent and obstacle to the U.S. team's championship after being hired.
The individual strength of that team is stronger than that of the American team. Powell can run as fast as Gatlin. As for Bolt, my God, is he still a human?
If it weren't for the fact that the average strength of the Chinese team that Su Feng was playing was so poor, Wells would have wanted to surrender directly, because the Chinese team's baton handover skills are much better than those of the American team and the Jamaican team. If there were similar times again, then there would be no need.
Ran away.
"Let's keep practicing." After thinking for a long time, Wells suppressed these words and continued to practice. This was the only way. After practicing for the first half of the year, Wells felt that the American team could definitely run like the Chinese team.
Silky, but it's a pity that whether his prediction is true or not, it is impossible to know.
"Listen to the coach and continue. There is no point in arguing now." At this time, Gatlin had already walked over.
Judging from the time of his debut, Gatlin is the earliest among the four members of the relay team and is considered a senior. Moreover, he is also the 2004 Olympic gold medalist, so his words still carry a lot of weight.
The American team, regardless of basketball, football or other team sports, has the habit of old men bullying newcomers. Although Gatlin did not do this, the long-term tradition has been passed down. When he spoke, others could not and did not dare to say anything else. They could only listen.
Coach, keep training.
Moreover, the situation on the US team is similar to that of Powell. Except for Gatlin and Tyson Gay, everyone else has little confidence in winning the gold medal. The relay gold medal is their only hope.
Whether it is the immediate money and fame or the way to go to university to teach vocationally, the Olympic gold medal is undoubtedly the best stepping stone, and they value it very much.
At the same time, the training atmosphere of the Chinese team is better.
On the field, Zhang started running with Meng, and successfully handed the baton to Chen Zhilong. Chen Zhilong successfully took over the baton and started to accelerate, and then handed the baton to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu's speed had increased, the baton had just been handed to his hand, and he ran
After 100 meters, the baton was handed over to Su Feng smoothly. Su Feng immediately accelerated after taking over the baton and successfully crossed the finish line.
There were no problems throughout the entire relay, and the technical aspects were perfect. The only thing left to do was to see the team members perform on the spot.
