Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 240 Bolt's Will, 200m Final

On August 2009, 8, at 21:20 p.m., the 20-seat Berlin Olympic Stadium was full. The men's long jump and women's hammer throw competitions were going on. Looking forward to the upcoming men's 7.5m World Championships final.

In the lounge, Bolt kicked everyone out, and coach Mills, without the slightest hesitation, waved everyone including himself out of the lounge.

Soon, Bolt was the only one left in the large lounge, and he even heard the footsteps of other people walking away.

"Why did you choose to run?" After everyone left, Bolt hugged his head and said to himself in pain.

Losing to Su Feng again in the 100 meters was a big blow to Bolt. Although he had persuaded himself on the field, he must win the next game, and he tried not to think about the 100 meters final these two days things.

But before the confrontation with Su Feng again, his mind was still a little messed up, all the negative emotions broke out and gathered into a kind of fear, which made him have an urge to escape.

But he endured it with his strong willpower. A competitive athlete must endure all of this. The more successful the athlete is, the more this is the case. What he needs to find now is a reason to continue running with great strength.

"Why run?"

For the money, of course, but not all.

"We are small, we are poor, but we are very proud", this is a saying that Jamaicans often say.

For them, only running can bring everything they want!
Jamaica is a country in the Caribbean region. As the origin of Blue Mountain coffee, it has a population of about 300 million and an area of ​​about 1 square kilometers, which is similar to the scale of a fourth-tier city in China.

Because it is a small country, coupled with long-term colonial rule, Jamaica has a weak national strength and lacks domestic industries. Tourism has become a local pillar industry, accounting for more than 60% of GDP, but overall it is still a poor country.

Although not rich, they are optimistic and love to laugh and fell in love with a free sport, which is running.

Locally, Jamaica holds about 20 professional track and field competitions every year, in which 260 professional track and field teams and more than 8 athletes participate, which is equivalent to 40 professional runner for every 1 Jamaicans , Excluding the elderly and children, there is almost one professional track and field athlete for every 20 people, which is an astonishing ratio.

Before joining a professional sports team, a large number of Jamaican children distributed in rural areas will carry out physical training in the mountains, on the land, and by the small river. Many athletes ran to the Olympic hall step by step from these places. .

Running, in Jamaica, is the only way for poor children to get out of the mountains.

Just like children in those remote areas in China have to go to school for a few hours after crossing mountains and mountains.

Just like the children in Brazil take football as their career and life.

Just like the easiest place for African-Americans to get ahead is to get a sports scholarship to enter college and then join sports leagues such as the NBA.

Athletics is their only way out!

And when it comes to North America, many people only have Canada, the United States, and Mexico in their minds. In fact, there are 28 countries and regions in the Caribbean Sea, and Jamaica is definitely the most famous one.

This is what each Jamaican player worked hard for.

Looking back at history, it can be traced back as far as the 1948 London Olympic Games. The entire history of sprinting is almost written by Jamaicans, such as Don Quarry, Milani Otti, Lenox Miller, Dern Hemings, Bertrand Cameron, Herb McKinley, and Ansel Winter, and more if you count the descendants of Jamaican immigrants.

In those Olympic men's 21-meter competitions before the 100st century, those shining names, such as Canada's Ben Johnson and Donovan Bailey, and Britain's Linford Christie, Jamaican blood is simply gold medals and world records guarantee.In fact, American stars like Sandra Farmer, Ingall Miller, and the notorious Marion Jones also had at least one parent of Jamaican ancestry.

Around 2000, Jamaica ushered in the era of Powell. Thanks to the development of online media, a large number of people all over the world learned about the existence of Jamaica through Powell.

But the good times didn't last long. Even when Powell was at his peak, he was always suppressed by Su Feng, not to mention that after Su Feng took the lead to enter 9 seconds, he was the best.

However, the Jamaican's natural genes and complete training system played a role at this time. He found Bolt, a peerless genius with extraordinary talent, and let the Jamaicans see the possibility of defeating Su Feng. Bolt became Jamaica after Powell. track and field hero!
But the subsequent process was not satisfactory. Bolt was defeated by Su Feng again and again. Although it could be seen that Su Feng was reluctant to win every time, he could win!

After finally winning a game against Su Feng in the Golden League, he was beaten back to his original form in the World Championships.

"Uncomfortable?" "Uncomfortable."

"Are you willing?" "Not reconciled."

"Of course I'm not reconciled!" Thinking of this, Bolt suddenly stood up, as if there was a passion full of passion in his heart.

To a certain extent, Jamaica is the same as the common habit of the Chinese in track and field. It only asks God when some manpower is difficult to reach. At other times, it must reflect the fighting spirit of the nation. For fearless dedication, we have Qiu Shaoyun.

They are all people from the past, and the stories of their ancestors encourage themselves.

Bolt is like this at this time, the children who get up early in the morning on the mountain for a long-distance run, and the seniors who have achieved world-renowned achievements have become his spiritual motivation and inspired all his fighting spirit. fear.

After a long time, the closed door was snapped open with a snap, and then, Bolt appeared at the door standing tall and full of fighting spirit.

"Let's come!"



At 21:30, all eight players in the 200-meter final of the World Championships stood on the starting line.

Marcos, Kim Collins, Tyson Gay, Su Feng, Bolt, Gatlin, Powell, Spielmont!

Eight well-known athletes stood in a diagonal line on the field.

Even without any action, it is star-studded and full of momentum.

Because of the track and field storm inspired by Su Feng and Bolt, the men's 100m and 200m sports are in the limelight in the world at this time, even only football can match, and these top athletes are the beneficiaries, even if they have not won the championship. Just being able to be Su Feng and Bolt's opponents has already made them famous and prominent for a while.

And now, at the World Championships in Berlin, they gathered together again, what kind of wonderful battle will they bring to people?
