Chapter 216 Forever 12 Years

1984年7月20日，在东柏林举行的第22届奥林匹克日田径赛上，前东德选手乌威·霍恩以104．80米的惊人成绩，把原99．72米的世界纪录一下提高了5．18米，成为第一个突破男子标枪“百米大关”的运动员。

In the same year, Horn was named "World's Best Athlete" by International Sports Newsletter.

At this distance, if the javelin goes to the stands a little bit to the left or right, the consequences will be disastrous.

Due to safety issues, the IAAF decided to move the center of gravity of the men's javelin 1986 centimeters forward starting from April 4, 1, in order to limit the gliding performance of the javelin.

At the same time, the IAAF announced that Horn's men's javelin world record of 104.80 meters has become a "permanent world record".

When the IAAF celebrated its 1987th anniversary in 75, Uwe Horn's miracle of creating a "permanent world record" was selected as one of the "75 Golden Moments" in the past 100 years of world athletics.

From that time on, when people discuss the javelin, the name Uwe Horn cannot be avoided.

Today, the 34-year-old Uwe Horn has been de facto retired. However, as a world legend, it is natural that some sports media will pay him to come out to commentate the Olympic javelin competition.

Before the game started, the host was chatting with Uwe Horn.

"Under the premise of not changing the weight of the javelin, moving the center of gravity forward by 4 cm reduces the gliding performance, and at the same time reduces the diameter of the front half and increases the diameter of the rear half to increase air resistance.

This is a decision made by the IAAF based on a large number of experiments and calculations. This change can reduce the overall performance of athletes by 10%.

Horn, what level do you think the current world record is compared to your permanent world record? "

"Ha, you have said it all, you can add 10% to the current world record and you will know the result." Uwe Horn replied with a smile.

"Oh, well, the current world record is Zelezny's 95.66 meters, plus 10%, um..."

The host hummed for a while, and the backstage gave the answer: "105.226 meters, yo ho, Horn, your world is over~"

"Theoretically, yes." Horn curled his lips and continued, "However, unless the throw is 105 meters, I won't admit it."

"So, do you think Gao will throw 105 meters?" asked the host.

"I think he can throw 100 meters, 105 meters, it's impossible!" Horn said confidently.

"I think you underestimate Gao. You definitely don't want to see your legend come to an end." The host unceremoniously exposed him: "If Gao surpasses your record, then the IAAF's permanent world record is a joke After all, it's only 12 years forever, which is ridiculous, right?"

Uwe Horn smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Take people soft-spoken.

From the heart, of course, I don't want to see the super gods.

After all, it's not easy to think bad money without the title of sole record holder.

Regardless of Uwe Horn's mentality, the game started as scheduled.

Gao Shen is the last one again.

The order decided by the lottery is fair.

Those who cast less than 90 meters are not worth mentioning at all, mainly because Zelezny, who is second to last.

It's not that he is regarded as a threat, but in the original history, Zelezny only threw 88.16 meters in the Atlanta Olympics and won the championship.

This result... is obviously not a good result. Gao Shen really wants to see if he can make a breakthrough, preferably over 100 meters.

Obviously, Zelezny's condition is not very good, the first throw is only 89 meters.

That's it?

Gao Shen lost his expectation.

Waving his hands to greet the audience, standing at the starting point, squatting down to untie the shoelaces and tie the shoelaces, and ready to start after the advertisement.

Hold the gun over your shoulder, start at full speed, and finally burst out with all your strength to throw the javelin.

Let the javelin fly for a while.

Gao Shen turned around, raised his arms and shouted, stirring up the atmosphere of the audience.

"Like lightning, it was thrown out in a flash."

"Looking at the angle of the javelin, it is higher than other athletes. Will it create a miracle?"

"Okay, it's over 90 meters, 95 meters, 100 meters... still flying, the javelin is still flying~105~110 meters, more than 110 meters!
Great high god ~ great moment ~ great track and field record ~ ​​great made in China! "Liu Jianhong shouted again.

On-site audiences can see the marking line without a telescope, and the line beyond 110 meters is clearly visible.

The referees immediately ran over to measure the specific data.

The audience stomped and cheered in unison, and they were not afraid to stomp the stands.

The athletes looked at Gao Shen, most of them looked quite disappointed.

Now that they have set foot on the sports field, who doesn't want to defeat Gao Shen.

Just like lottery players, although the possibility is very small, but the result has not come out, they all feel that their lottery can win the first prize.

Of course, this is only the first round of the preliminaries, and there will be six rounds in the final, which is far from the end, but the 110 meters, even if God holds a javelin, it is impossible to reach it.

Zelezny's eyes were shining, and he stared at Gao Shen closely, looking eager to try.

This guy may be masochistic and can't get excited without being stimulated by super achievements.

On the TV, Uwe Horn was dumbfounded.

It is impossible not to get lost.

The appearance fee of the only permanent world record holder is not low. Without this title, even if he participates in TV shows again, the appearance fee will also drop.

"Horn, your only permanent world record is over, it only lasted for 12 years!" The host gloated.

"It's okay." Horn adjusted his mood and said, "I'm prepared for this, but it's a pity that I have retired and can't compete with Gao.

As a great athlete, it is undoubtedly a pity that he can only win the runner-up in the same field as Gao, but as a great athlete, it is also a pity that he cannot compete with Gao. "

"Okay, I think I understand what you great athletes think. You are not afraid of failure, and you pursue faster, higher and stronger." The host praised Horn a little and then asked: "So, what do you think about the high movement?" Is it worth learning?"

"His angle of attack is too high to be suitable for others, as for the run-up acceleration and the final throw, they are all manifestations of physical fitness.

Physical fitness is the foundation of all sports.

For example, Zelezny and I, as well as Sergey Bubka, if we practiced the [-]-meter sprint, it would be easy to run into ten seconds. said Uwe Horn.

On the field, the referee has already given the result.

110.25 m.

"God~"

"God~"

"God~"

The audience shouted with all their heart, without the restraint of gentlemen and celebrities.

The [-] tickets for this game were all given away.

Those who can get tickets from the organizing committee must have certain social status and connections.

To make these people yell like lunatics, it can only be that Gao Shen is too good.

The referee then raised a red flag and declared the score invalid.

There was an uproar.

Without waiting for the audience to make noises, the referee gave an explanation.

The javelin thrower cannot turn his back on the javelin after throwing it before it hits the ground, but Gao Shen was busy pretending to be aggressive and forgot this rule.

There is nothing wrong with the result being invalid, Gao Shen could only shake his head and accept it.
