Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 173 Jamaica USA and China Team

"Take it!" Bolt yelled, and then quickly handed the baton in his hand to Powell. At this time, Powell's speed had already risen, and he started to accelerate immediately after getting the baton.

Quickly, cross the line!
"Coach, how are you?" Powell and others surrounded the relay team coach Sanchez and looked at the stopwatch in his hand.

Sanchez looked at the few people and nodded with satisfaction, "If you exclude the handwriting error, the score should be 37 seconds."

This is definitely a terrifying achievement, and it was only achieved by a few people in private.

"I think the acceleration just now can be more sufficient."

"When I handed over the baton just now, the speed dropped a little bit, so I can keep it for a while."

But several people were not satisfied with this result, instead they were discussing their own shortcomings just now.

"Okay." Sanchez clapped his hands.

"Although your skills are not perfect, they are already very good. What's more important is that you guys are strong enough. Now practice another set, remember the problem just now, and then correct it. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The four members of the Jamaican team shouted at the same time. Although the four competed in individual events, they were a whole when they cooperated.

On the way back to the relay position, Powell looked a little serious.

He is not optimistic about his Olympic men's 100 meters and 200 meters results this time.

Originally it was only Su Feng, and he still had some thoughts, but now he has Bolt again, both of them are stronger than him now, and he has little hope of winning the championship, but this gold medal in the men's relay, the Jamaican team It is still very advantageous, no, it should be said to have an absolute advantage.

Even with the return of Gatlin of the US team, no one in the United States can stop Bolt's sprint.

As for Su Feng, he has the strength to compete with Bolt, but the performance of the rest of the Chinese team is too poor. When Su Feng gets the baton, he doesn't know where he will be left.

And as the fourth baton, I can keep Bolt's speed faster before handing over the baton. Bolt's speed ability can also make me accelerate as much as I want, without any worries. The current Jamaica team is only Bolt. His unique ability allows him to run enough speed in the relay zone, and everyone else is a little bit short.

Secondly, Bolt's long-term training advantage in corners is also the key to improving his performance.

So the current bat times should be the best times in the final Olympics.

Powell used to run the first bat, but now he has changed to the fourth bat, and the performance of the relay team has been improved immediately.

The reason why he made such a change is that teamwork is one aspect, and winning the championship is another aspect. For the championship, he can do anything at all.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Beijing Normal University.

The U.S. delegation is rich and powerful. The U.S. Olympic Committee chose Beijing Normal University as the residence of the delegation from more than 20 colleges and universities in BJ two years ago, and will pay a rent of 6 U.S. dollars for six weeks.

The reason why I chose Beijing Normal University is because the Qiu Jiduan Gymnasium of Beijing Normal University can provide excellent training conditions for the US team.

In addition, Beijing Normal University is only about 20 minutes' drive from the two major venues, the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and the environment is quiet, which is convenient for the American team to travel and live.

At this time, the stadium of Beijing Normal University was closed, and only the American team was training here, including the American relay team.

Walter Disco sprinted to the end and was about to enter the relay zone. Tyson Gay, who was third, had already started to accelerate, but Walter Disco's speed suddenly slowed down. Can accelerate again, but obviously, for the relay, this is too late.

Tyson Gay stopped directly, while the relay coach Wells on the sidelines frowned and walked towards the two.

"Disco, you should know Guy's speed, why are you slowing down so early, not only wasting your speed, but also delaying the timing of handing over the baton."

"Coach, I was wrong." Although Walter Disco said so, he didn't hide the dissatisfaction on his face at all.

He was wrong, but Leonard Scott, who gave him the stick just now, did not do well, so why just talk about himself.

Wells saw the problem, but after frowning, he couldn't say anything more, because this is not a problem that can be corrected in a hurry or if he finds a mistake.

The American sprinters are all professional athletes. They usually get remuneration and advertising revenue through professional competitions. They only temporarily gather together for training before participating in the Olympic Games. Such a team, there are no accidents.

This kind of training for handing over the baton requires years of familiarity with each other and cooperation. Otherwise, you will be fast or I will be slow.

How could it be possible to practice this kind of high-speed coordination in less than a month.

This kind of thing happened during the Athens Olympics in 04. At that time, it was because of the handover problem that the US team was directly eliminated in the preliminaries.

If it was before, Wells still has the confidence to let the US team win the championship within a month, because the technology is not good, but the individual strength of the US team is too strong, and this weakness can be completely ignored, as long as there is no drop of bats, etc. Violations are fine.

But not this time!
As a professional coach, Wells directly locked the Jamaica team as the biggest opponent and obstacle for the US team to win the championship after receiving the hire.

The individual strength of that team is stronger than that of the US team, and Powell can run on par with Gatlin. As for Bolt, my God, is he still human?
If it weren't for the poor average strength of the Chinese team where Su Feng belongs, Wells would have surrendered directly, because the handover technique of the Chinese team is much better than that of the US team and the Jamaica team. Ran.

"Continue to practice." After thinking for a long time, Wells choked out this sentence. Continue to practice. This is the only way. In the first half of the training, Wells felt that the US team could definitely run like the Chinese team. Silky smooth, unfortunately, no matter whether his prediction is true or not, it is impossible to know.

"Listen to the coach, let's go on, there is no point in arguing now." At this time Gatlin had already walked over.

From the time of his debut, Gatlin is the earliest among the four members of the relay team, and belongs to the seniors, and he is also the Olympic gold medalist in 04, so his words still carry a lot of weight.

Whether it is basketball, football or other team sports, the U.S. team has the habit of old people bullying newcomers. Although Gatlin does not do this, the long-term tradition has been passed down. When he speaks, other people can't and dare not say anything. They can only listen. Coach, keep training.

And the situation on the US team is similar to that of Powell. Except for Gatlin and Tyson Gay, everyone else has no confidence in winning the gold medal. The relay gold medal is their only hope.

Whether it is the money and fame you get immediately or the way out to go to college vocational education later, the Olympic gold medal is well-deserved and 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 handed over the baton to Chen Zhilong smoothly. Chen Zhilong took over the baton smoothly and began to accelerate, and then handed over the baton to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu's speed had been added up, the baton had just been handed over to him, and he ran After 100 meters, the baton was successfully handed over to Su Feng. After taking the baton, Su Feng immediately accelerated and crossed the finish line smoothly.

There were no problems during the entire relay, and the technical aspects were already perfect. The rest can only be seen on the spot performance of the players.
