just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 281 The 200-meter rematch is over

Athens Olympic Stadium.

When the second group of athletes left the field in the 200-meter rematch, the third group soon appeared on the track.

When the contestants came out onto the track, the excitement in the scene that had just cooled down a little started to rise again.

After coming out of the group of the rematch, anyone who knows a little bit about the situation will be more interested in the competition of this group.Of course, for those related to athletes, the grouping is obviously not very good.

The new 200-meter flying star, the American athlete Justin Gatlin, who is also very good in the 200 meters, is fifth in the [-] meters this time. The Jamaican [-]-meter record holder is the new sprint star Asafa Powell.The other person is Yang Zuyao, the [-]-meter champion of the Huaxia World Championships last year.

Before the Olympics, the Chinese players who were not valued by people, gave people a new understanding through each game.

World Championships champion, Olympic 400m runner-up, [-]m champion.After a series of results, it is enough to make people pay enough attention to the Huaxia players. After all, this is not a random explosion once or twice.One person cannot represent the current situation of sports in a country, but if it is a multi-event, multi-person group effect, it can reflect many problems.

Now in this group, there are three direct promotion places, and these three alone are already strong contenders for the promotion places, not to mention there are other players.Germans, Slovenians, and Britons are also capable players who have run around 20 seconds.

Although there may be a gap in real strength, the gap of 0.2 seconds or 0.3 seconds in the personal best time seems to be very large.But in sprint competitions, in addition to personal strength, when facing high-level competition, the status and accidents are really uncertain.

Eight contestants boarded the runway, and overwhelming cheers flooded towards them.

In a fanatical atmosphere, Yang Zuyao walked on his own runway.

From the time he entered the arena, he could faintly hear someone calling his name, and when he arrived in the arena, these voices became more clear.

Because there were no local players, the audience at the scene spontaneously divided into many cheering camps. Because they fought on their own, it also gave the Chinese cheering team more opportunities to perform.

Looking across the stadium, he cruised around the stadium stands. The noise was louder than the previous game. Although it was completely incomparable to the voice of the same person shouting, the uniform shouts of more than 2000 and [-] people were heard under such circumstances. , is also enough to set off a big storm.

"Thank you! Huaxia, come on! Huaxia, we must win!"

Habitually pressing the five-star red flag on his chest, Yang Zuyao raised his right hand high and waved his arm towards the area dotted with red.

In a foreign country, in the Olympic arena, the Chinese people have taken one step, and then another step. Behind all the honors, gold medals, silver medals, these people who are willing to be crazy about it are indispensable at every moment.And for athletes, this is also the motivation they are willing to do everything for!

When you look up, there is always a red flag waving, and when you listen to it, there is always a faint sound of cheering that inspires people to forge ahead.

In China, there must be countless people shouting for it.Different people, the same name, that is Huaxia.

For expectations and dreams!In order for everyone to shout out that sound freely.

This is my mission and my glory!
In the fourth track in the middle, Yang Zuyao gradually restrained all his casualness. Before and after each game, he would think of the words of the coach, and feel the enthusiasm of all his compatriots. He felt like he had been baptized.

Meticulously moving his body and joints, and scanning around a circle of opponents, Yang Zuyao's heart and will became more determined!
It seems that they feel something, or maybe they also want to observe the opponent they care about.Just a moment after Yang Zuyao withdrew his gaze, Justin Gatlin of Three Ways cast his gaze on Yang Zuyao.

Just turning his eyes for a moment, Gatlin's expression became much more serious.

Even if you really didn't care about it before, you didn't understand it.At this time, there is basically no athlete in the 200-meter event who does not know about Yang Zuyao.

The achievements, the past, and Huaxia's recent performance are all enough reasons for them to be cautious.It's just that when the eyes fell on Yang Zuyao, it seemed to be the feeling between the same top masters, and it was really familiar.Moreover, the few Chinese athletes he knew, and their desperate attitude...

The combination of two and two, Gatling couldn't help but think about it and be more serious.After all, unlike his self-confidence in the 200-meter event, he considers himself weaker in the [-]-meter race.He is sure that this Chinese man will be a strong opponent!Of course, it's the rematch now, and it's not time to do everything, but it doesn't prevent him from keeping his opponent firmly in mind.

Just like him, Powell, who was moving his body in Six Realms, also naturally cast his eyes on the two of them. After some observations, it was not the case in his mind.

During the check-in, in the rest room, and even during the indoor warm-up session, he observed intentionally or unintentionally.But when he actually hit the runway, he felt completely different.

Whether it's the attitude or the subdued aura, they are always reminding him that he is a master, a real master!

This was the case for the three people who were recognized as top-notch, and the rest of the players were even more dignified.There are three places, and you have to pull out your teeth. Although everything is possible, the premise is that you need to work harder.

Moving his wrists and ankles, and patting the muscles of his legs, Yang Zuyao adjusted his state.He also faintly felt that an opponent was watching him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.The current him is no longer the one he was at last year's World Championships.His mentality, his psychology has been honed enough.

What's more, there is a coach beside him who is always influencing him.Even if he didn't imitate deliberately, he would learn a lot unconsciously.He could also detect the existence of these influences, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

The coach is successful, and the coach is even better.Maybe I may not be able to achieve his current achievements in my whole life, so why can't I learn his temperament, spirit, and handling methods?

"On your marks!"

With the sound of the starter's password, all the athletes started to step onto the starting block.

Slowly exhaling a foul breath, Yang Zuyao stepped onto the starting position. With each step, his breathing became more and more gentle, and his heart became more and more peaceful.

He was the first in the group in the preliminaries and was placed in the fourth lane. If the eight lanes assigned by Zhu Kun are the worst lanes, then the four lanes are usually the best lanes in the competition.And for 200 meters, this is even more true.

A more reasonable and moderate amount of reach is more conducive to observing the players on the left and right to determine your own convenient position, which are all advantages.Sprinting competitions are often the accumulation of such small advantages.

"Set!"

The sound of the prepared password sounded, and Yang Zuyao had already made all the preparations.

"Bang~"

The starting gun goes off, and the game begins!
Yang Zuyao slammed his feet on the starting block, and he jumped out quickly.

Before he followed Lin Mu, he was not considered weak at the start. With such a long period of training and the assistance of encyclopedia, and the strength to promote the increase in explosive power, now his start is better than that of a few short and agile runners. Besides, he is truly at the top level!
Although he would not observe his opponent too deliberately at the beginning, once he ran out, Yang Zuyao could be sure that he ran well this time.After taking a few steps, the feeling became clearer.

Of course, Yang Zuyao was not the only one who started well. The real-time data of the starting reaction on the spot clearly showed that Gatlin in the third lane, Powell in the sixth lane, and Christine from Antigua in the second lane all ran out. an extremely high level.

In fact, these people are different from Yang Zuyao's 200-meter special event. Their special events are basically 100 meters. The requirements for starting training are much higher than 200 meters. It seems normal to start fast.

Generally speaking, it is an accident that a special 200-meter athlete like Yang Zuyao has such a start.Of course, it's even more surprising that Lin Mu can run as fast as 400 meters in the [-]-meter start. This can be regarded as their lineage!

As soon as the athletes rushed out from the starting block, the atmosphere at the scene became frenzied.

And all the athletes also began to accelerate at their own pace.Yang Zuyao's starting reaction is not weak, but after he really started to speed up, he began to look a little weak.Like ordinary tall players, he did not seek to increase his speed with small and fast strides. In the past, even if he ran 100 meters, he did not pursue an extremely fast starting speed.

Along the left and right dividing lines of the curve, always control the rhythm, use large and powerful steps, and determine the stepping position to reduce the time to move forward.

In the first 50 to [-] meters, the speed of accumulating momentum reaches the highest speed and enters the way, which is also the most important thing in every run.

Have an efficient start speed, and then rely on the absolute speed and excellent speed endurance to maintain, and run the next distance.This is the technical direction he has been implementing.

A long time ago, he actually had this kind of rhythm, because his natural stride frequency and hip delivery ability are good, so he has always been an absolute leader in the domestic 200-meter event.It's just that he hasn't been able to show his true talents in sending hips and moving forward, making him look inefficient in the first half.

After following Lin Mu, Lin Mu did not completely change his original rhythm, on the premise of strengthening his core strength and increasing his explosive power.Further magnified his advantage of sending hips.After growing up step by step, Yang Zuyao further magnified his advantages.

The current situation is that his speed in the first half of the journey has dropped a little, but his stride and footfall are larger and more precise, which not only saves kinetic energy but also maintains a relatively stable acceleration.Because of the enhancement of core strength, the overall efficiency in the first half is better than before.

Also because of such early savings, it further ensures enough kinetic energy for the speed and sprint in the second half of the journey.This made his grades improve step by step to the present.

It just made Lin Mu a little regretful that Yang Zuyao was at the stage of fusion burst start and flying steps.Because it took a lot of time to focus on Yang Zuyao's long-term training, it also makes Yang Zuyao just on the right track.Of course, this is also Yang Zuyao's own regret and a little bit of regret.

Relying on his big and powerful forward pace, Yang Zuyao ran very efficiently through the tens of meters of curves.The person also looks extremely relaxed, and the whole posture and steps seem to be very chic and easy.

The speed and rhythm are very powerful, but at first glance it doesn't seem to be very fast.But through comparison, you can find that it is actually not slow.

On his left and right, three players Gatlin, six players Powell, including another player from the Bahamas and the United Kingdom.They are all 200-meter athletes, so even in the [-]-meter event, their starting speed in the first half of the race is extremely fast.

Relying on their excellent starting and starting acceleration, several people appeared to be extremely fast in the acceleration of the curve, and the entire movement frequency rhythm appeared to be very explosive and fast.After halfway through the curve, they have already separated some distance from most of the players on their left and right.

But even so, Yang Zuyao, who doesn't seem to have much speed, is not too far behind.A relatively deadlocked balance is maintained with only a slight disadvantage.

The eight contestants on the field ran on the curve like a wild horse.

Those who can enter the 200-meter semi-finals on the Olympic stage, even athletes specializing in the [-]-meter event, have extremely high levels of cornering skills.Their body tilt, center of gravity control, rapidly swinging arms, and constant and precise steps all allow them to complete their corner runs relatively fully.

It's just that, after all, due to the difference in acceleration rhythm and absolute strength, when the curve is about to enter the straight, the players are gradually divided into levels.

The 110-meter curve has reached the final stage...

Turn into a straight.

All the audience at the scene focused their eyes on the corner with the largest arc at this time.The influence of the number of extensions is gone, and the most critical moment has entered.

"Yang Zuyao, Yang Zuyao, come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"#@!@#"

The cheers shouted at the top of their throats, and different languages ​​poured into the arena.

As soon as he ran into the straight road, Yang Zuyao heard it, but he didn't have time to feel all this.After sweeping the left and right sides from the corner of the eye, Yang Zuyao had a bottom line in his heart.In the 200 meters, entering the straight is a watershed, and it is also the beginning of his full play.

Even though the eight players were different in strength, they only ran into the straight in the blink of an eye one after another. By this time, the positions of all the players were already clear at a glance.

Relying on big and powerful strides and a relatively fast frequency, Gatlin of the third lane was in the leading position and took the lead in entering the straight, followed by Powell of the sixth lane, who was only less than one body away. In the second position.

Yang Zuyao, who is on the fourth track, and Osovnica, the Slovenian player who is on the seventh track, are only a little behind Powell.The two seem to be almost neck and neck.Just judging from the overall speed and rhythm, it will only take a few steps for Yang Zuyao to surpass Ernst.

The Antigua player Christine, who had a good starting reaction and early start speed, has fallen behind at this time, replaced by German player Ernst in the fifth position.It's just that the gap between them is slightly bigger than the previous ones.

Eight athletes running wildly on the field.Starting from the top straight, I almost tried my best.After all, it is a 200-meter sprint, and even those with poor strength seem to be very fast.It's just that nothing can be compared, especially the situation on the field.

Athletes run like the wind, move like electricity, and pass 150 meters in a blink of an eye. At this time, the positions of the players on the field have changed greatly.

Yang Zuyao gradually caught up with Gatlin by running at high speed. As the distance gets longer, the gap between him and Gatlin in terms of absolute speed will only slowly change, and the current positions of the two are also biting each other. Very close.

Powell, who was originally in the second position, is now in the third position, and the distance between them is not too big.

But the three of them and the other athletes are slowly opening up the distance.Only in the last tens of meters, the situation in the field has become clearer.

At the position of more than one meter and two meters behind the three of them, the German player Ernst, who was originally fifth, had already stood out in the second camp at this time.Looking at the three people in front of him, he gritted his teeth and tried hard to catch up.

Like him, the rest of the players are also catching up. The distance is further widening, and the top three seem to be hard to come by.But no one can give up the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.Efforts to improve their performance and strive to squeeze into the semi-finals are their only belief at this moment.

Compared with those who were chasing, the three people in front ran very easily at this time.

Powell was slightly behind Yang Zuyao and Gatlin, but after he felt the left and right, he didn't deliberately chase after him.There are still more than 20 meters away from the finish line. He believes that maintaining the current situation is enough...

And this is even more true for the two people at the front. It is very difficult for anyone to catch up with the current situation.As for the first or second place in the rematch, it doesn't make much sense at all.

There are still the last ten meters at the finish line, maintaining a relatively balanced situation. Several players swept across the field like a wind and headed for the finish line.

Maintaining a rigorous line-crossing attitude, Yang Zuyao and Gatlin crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.

The two of them ran forward with buffering. After looking at each other in a very tacit understanding, they turned their attention to the timing board not far from the finish line.

"20 seconds 03!"

The result of No.1 appears!

Yang Zuyao knew in his heart that when he finally crossed the line, he was probably slightly behind Gatlin, but he had no regrets. As the same saying goes, it doesn't matter whether he is first or second.

When the players were paying attention to the results, the data on the big screen flashed for a few seconds, and then the results were displayed:

1. The third track, Justin Gatlin, the United States, with a score of 20 seconds;

2. Lane 20, Yang Zuyao, Huaxia, time 04 seconds;

3. Lane 20, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, time 23 seconds;

4. The fifth track, Sebastian Ernst, Germany, with a score of 20 seconds;

5. The seventh track, Ossovnica, Slovenia, with a score of 20 seconds;
