Chapter 117: Amazing
When Chen Feng and Hongye came out of the room, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and the competition events of the sports meeting were about to start at half past one in the afternoon.
Chen Feng hurried and hurried, first notified Zhang Chunyou by phone, and then rushed to the gymnasium at half past one.
Although it was almost game time, there was still a crowd of people outside the stadium, which was a lot of spectators who tried to go in to watch the live game, but unfortunately it was difficult to get a ticket, but they still wanted to buy tickets from the scalpers. The excitement and ticket sales of this middle school sports meeting were not expected by almost everyone, and this qiΔ is of course thanks to Chen Feng (long), the superstar, especially yesterday, Chen Feng's shot put competition broke the men's Asian record in one fell swoop, and it is regarded by many people as a miracle among miracles, no one, including Chen Feng himself, did not expect that his throw, actually threw such a powerful result, plus CCTV comprehensive channel every night prime time broadcast documentary "Chen Feng - "Chinese Legendary Boy" is a hit, the ratings remain high, and as of yesterday, it has set a new ratings record, and at the peak, it surpassed the CCTV Spring Festival Gala a little unbelievably. In view of the shortage of tickets every day, on the second day of the game, almost half of the six-day tickets were booked, and the remaining half of the on-site tickets were all sold out within an hour or two, and the organizers of the competition raised the original cheap 10 yuan tickets to 20 yuan, and also added 5,000 temporary seats, but the ticket sales were still unprecedentedly optimistic, and a ticket on the black market yesterday has even been fried to 500 yuan. It can be said that in this middle school sports meeting, the ticket price income alone made the organizers and scalpers make a lot of money.
Chen Feng is going to participate in the 100-meter final this afternoon, last time he broke the national middle school record with 10.26 seconds, and the main point of interest today is whether he broke this new record again today, and even set a miracle again, breaking the national men's 100-meter sprint record, and even another Asian record.
When it comes to the Chinese men's 100 meters, it is impossible not to mention Chen Jiaquan. In the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, this Sichuan sprinter "flying man" rewrote the men's 100-meter national record six times, and on October 24, 1965, he ran a 10-second world record in Chongqing. This is by far the proudest run of the Chinese men's 100m. After the establishment of the Asian Athletics Federation in 1973, this time was officially listed as the Asian record in the men's 100m. Chan's blockbuster success is no accident. At that time, the overall level of Chinese men's sprinting was relatively high, and after Chen Jiaquan, another Sichuan athlete, Yu Weili, also ran 10.1 and 10.2 seconds in the 100 meters, and he also broke the national records in the 200 meters and 400 meters many times. After switching to electronic timing, China's first national record in the men's 100m was set on June 10, 1978. At that time, at the National Track and Field Games held in Baoding, Guangdong's Yuan Guoqiang was the best, and his time of 10.61 seconds also became the first electronic timing men's 100m national record. After that, the Chinese men's 100m once lagged behind South Korea and Japan. On September 26, 1985, at the Asian Athletics Championships held in Jakarta, Zheng Chen from Zhejiang won the medal in 10.28 seconds, breaking the Asian record of 10.34 seconds held by South Korean athlete Xu Mojiu. This is the first time that a Chinese athlete has set an Asian record in the men's 100m for electronic timing. In December 1986, again in Jakarta, 18-year-old Chongqing athlete Li Tao ran 10.26 seconds at the Asian Youth Championships, making Zheng Chen's Asian record history. From the first electronic timing national record of 10.61 seconds to the Asian record of 10.26 seconds, there was only an eight-year gap between them, but the Chinese men's 100m improved by 0.35 seconds. In 1989, Indonesian athlete Restari wrote the Asian men's 100m record under his name with a time of 10.20 seconds. Unfortunately, the Chinese male athlete has never been able to set this record again. In 1990, Qatari athlete Mansor set the Asian record in 10.18 seconds and became the first Asian "flyer" to break the 10.20 seconds mark. In 1995, Kazakhstan's Savin ran 10.09 seconds, bringing the Asian record to within 10.10 seconds. In the Chinese men's 100m at the same time, the level improved slowly. In 1992, Chen Wenzhong of Guangxi broke the national record with 10.24 seconds. Four years later, he broke his own record again, improving his time to 10.20 seconds. Until June 6, 1998, at the National Track and Field Grand Prix Finals held in Beijing, Zhou Wei from Jiangxi broke through 10.20 seconds, and the time of 10.17 seconds seemed to make people see the new hope of the Chinese men's 100m. However, in December of the same year, at the 13th Asian Games held in Bangkok, Japanese athlete Koji Ito ran a time of 10 seconds in the 100 meters, which was set by Koji Ito in the 100 meters heats, and in the final, his winning time of 10.05 seconds was also the world standard. Koji Ito also ran a time of 20.25 seconds in the 200m. The best time of Chinese athletes in the 100m is only Zhou Wei who ranks eighth in 10.42 seconds. From the 10 seconds of Chen Jiaquan's manual timing to the 10 seconds of Koji Ito at the Asian Games in Bangkok, it reflects the improvement of the Asian men's 100m level, and also reflects the sidelines of China's advantages in this event. In June 1999, in a race in Tokyo, Koji Ito timed the 100 meters and ran a time of 9.9 seconds. Because it is not an electronic timekeeping, it is not a new record.
Six years later, in 2007, Qatar's Sa Francis (front) broke the Asian record in the men's 100m final with a time of 9.99 seconds, breaking the Asian record for the event at a very young age of 22.
It is not so easy to break through the ten-second mark, and Chen Feng does not have too many extravagant hopes for this. But obviously others don't think so, after all, Chen Feng broke the Asian record yesterday, and it is not impossible to break another miracle.
"Dear spectators and friends, welcome to come to the Donghai Provincial People's Gymnasium again to watch the 3rd Donghai Provincial Middle School Games, today's temperature is 12-20 Β°C, and the wind is five to seven degrees...... The 100m final of the men's high school group is about to begin, and the competitors are from Qiantang City...... Wearing the No. 16 sportswear is Chen Feng from the Xiuzhou team, yesterday he miraculously set a new Asian men's shot put record, with a score of 20.61 meters, so is it possible for him to create a miracle in this event today, let us witness the birth and rise of a talented Chinese track and field athlete. We are proud of you, we are proud of you......"
The cheering sound of the on-site commentator made the audience at the scene boil suddenly, and the eye-catching group of long fans who occupied almost a quarter of the audience seat in the stadium sang Chen Feng's song one by one as if they were watching the World Cup.
CCTV's commentator Han Qiaosheng also began to explain the scene at this time, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV, today is May 3rd, and we are now broadcasting for you the third middle school sports meeting in Donghai Province, today's weather is sunny, the temperature is 12-20 Β°C, and the wind is five to seven degrees, which is very suitable for the competition." Chen Feng, a young player from the Xiuzhou team yesterday, broke the Asian record in the shot put competition of the men's high school group with an astonishing score of 20.61 meters, and also set a new national middle school record in the 400-meter relay race this morning...... This afternoon, he will participate in the 100m final of the men's high school category, his previous time was 10.26 seconds, which is a new record for Chinese middle school students. Coach Li, what do you think of Chen Feng's performance today? Can he bring us a wonderful table and a huge surprise again?"
Li Shuangyong replied randomly: "Chen Feng's watch in the past two days can be called amazing, like everyone else, I am very much looking forward to Chen Feng bringing us a huge surprise again today." His performance in the 400m relay this morning was also very good, and I am very optimistic about how he will perform in the 100m final in the afternoon. β
"So, can you predict the specific results that Chen Feng can achieve today?" Han Qiaosheng continued to ask.
Li Shuangyong smiled and said: "It's really hard to predict, but I think Chen Feng will definitely break the previous time of 10.26 seconds in this final." β
"So do you think Chen Feng is likely to break through the ten-second mark?" Han Qiaosheng also smiled.
Li Shuangyong smiled again: "This is like Li Ning's advertising slogan 'everything is possible', which is really hard to say." β
Seeing him answer like this, Han Qiaosheng didn't ask any more questions.
On the other side, ABC TV commentator Inez also asked Coach Levant a similar question at this time: "Levant, do you think Long can miraculously break the Asian record again today?"
Levant was very confident in Chen Feng, and said bluntly: "I am very optimistic about this, long yesterday's shot put competition, before that, no one would have thought that he would break the Asian men's record, so if he created a zΓ o miracle again in the 100-meter dash today, what is impossible." β
"So do you think he can break the Asian record of 10.00 seconds?" Inez asked.
Revant laughed: "I think it's very likely. As I said before, Chen Feng has a lot of potential, and 10.26 seconds is not his best time. Then he can break the Asian record of 10 seconds, which is naturally very likely. β
"Yes, anything is possible. "Long, I've already surprised us again and again, and we won't be too surprised if there's more. Dear viewers and friends, let's wait and see. β
SprintingAccording to records, in 776 BC, there was a sprint event at the first Ancient Olympic Games held in the Olympic Village of Greece. At that time, the running posture was a "step" running style with a large torso leaning forward, the thighs raised high, the feet landing close to the center of gravity, and a small stride. The start is in a "standing" position, with a large boulder behind your feet, and the speed of the start is increased by pushing and kicking the boulder.
Sprint was known as "field running" in ancient times, and it was one of the earliest athletics sports in human history. According to historical records, the only competitive event in the first ancient Olympic Games, held in 776 BC, was sprinting.
In the first Olympic Games in 1896, men's sprinting was included as a competition event, with two races, the 100-meter and 400-meter runs, marking the formal establishment of modern sprinting. The 200-meter event was added to the second Olympic Games. In 1928, the 9th Olympic Games, women's sprinting was also officially included. In the first races, athletes were allowed to start in any position, and the squatting starting position, which is now popular, was introduced in 1887, and in 1927, the starting block was introduced. With the development of sprinting technology and sports equipment, the results of the race have improved rapidly. At the 11th Olympic Games in 1936, for the first time, it was mandatory for runners to start in a squatting position, and to use a runner, in addition to the division of the track, and a relatively robust set of rules was established. In recent years, the IAAF has made some changes to the competition rules in order to increase the intensity and spectacle of sprint competitions. The new rules stipulate that a player will be disqualified if he commits a foul in a sprint.
In 1887, the "squatting" start was adopted, and in 1927 there was a starting block, but it was not officially adopted until the 11th Olympic Games in 1936. During this phase, the sprinting technique has evolved greatly, from heel landing to forefoot landing, and forming a "swinging" style of running. Due to the improvement of sprinting techniques, the rapid improvement of sprinting performance has been promoted.
In 1894, he set the first world record in the 100 meters with a score of 11"2. After 74 years, in 1968, he set a world record of 9"9 (the record for electric timekeeping was 9"95). The 200m was included in the second Olympic programme in 1900 with a time of 22'2. By 1968, after sixty-eight years, the world record of 19"83 (electric timing) was set. In 1896, the 400-meter record set at the First Modern Olympic Games was 54"2, and after 72 years, in 1968, the world record of 43"86 was set (electric timing).
Sprinting is the fastest way to cover a set distance. It is the maximum intensity of the work done by the human locomotor organs and internal organs under the condition of a large amount of hypoxia, which belongs to the extreme intensity of exercise. Sprinting is an effective way to develop speed, so it is the foundation of athletics and plays an important role in the training of other sports. The sprint technique is an inseparable whole, and for the sake of analysis, it can be divided into three parts: the start and the acceleration after the start, the middle run and the finish run.
In international competitions, all track events of 400m or less must start with a squat start and a starting block. Participants should complete the manoeuvre immediately after the 'each in place' and 'ready' commands, and any participant who fails to complete the manoeuvre within a reasonable time will be guilty of a starting foul. In addition, disturbing others with sound or movement after 'each in place' is a starting foul. Any starting action before the gunshots are fired is also a starting foul. Starters who commit foul marks at the start shall be given a warning and disqualified from the race if they commit a further offence (this does not apply to men's decathlon and women's heptathlon events).
The athletes' track preliminaries are determined by drawing lots, and the finals are generally determined by the results of the preliminaries. During the race, the athletes should be in place on their respective tracks, and they should not cross the road after the start, otherwise the results will be invalid. At the time of starting, only one sprint is allowed (starting without the order to start or starting within 0.02 seconds after the start), and the first sprint must be restarted, and the runner who sparks later will be disqualified from the race and re-ordered.
In the first round of the group, the runners are ranked on which track they are placed on is freely arranged by the computer. In subsequent rounds, the selection of the track is based on the athletes' results in the previous round. The goal of this rule is to allow the best athletes to be in the middle of the track, with the good tracks being tracks 3, 4, 5 and 6, which should be occupied by the top four athletes. The 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, and Dao are occupied by the bottom 4.
In athletics, the ranking of participants in all running events is determined by the order in which their torsos (excluding head, neck, arms, legs, hands or feet) reach the finish line along the vertical plane, with the first runner to reach the finish line. In the event of a tie in the athletes' performance in any race, the referee shall take into account the actual result of the athlete concerned in the event of a tie in the next race. If the results are still equal, the athletes concerned should move on to the next race. If the actual conditions do not allow, the candidates who will enter the next competition shall be determined by drawing lots. In the finals, the referee has the right to decide whether to replay, if there is no unconditional rematch, the first place will be tied, and if the other rankings are the same, they will be treated as tied.
"The 100 meters is a crazy world! 10 meters is the glimmer of light on the morning horizon! 20 meters is a faint red light! 30 meters the sun has jumped out of the horizon! 40 meters the wind is running wildly! 50 meters cheers! 60 meters are not strong! 70 meters have an order! 80 meters are just around the corner! 90 meters are won! 100 meters are won! Now that the athletes have passed the check-in, the 100-meter final of the men's high school category is about to begin, and your sweat is sprinkled on the runway, watering the flowers of success. Your laughter is flying in the field, run and chase, in this vast field, you are like a horse and an arrow from Xuan. Run, chase, you are stronger than the tiger and the leopard!"
The on-site commentators began to warm up, and Chen Feng and the others were already in place and ready to start.
"There are your steps on the sports field, it is the expression of hard sweat, you are like the clouds on the horizon, with the brilliant colors of Caixia...... Galloping horses, galloping paces keep your victory waiting ahead. There was a group of people standing, with an order, all of them squatted down together, and then a gunshot rang out, accompanied by a beautiful posture, and the shouts of the audience, like arrows, at this time the air froze, until more than ten seconds later, the winner was divided, you from the bow of the bend, galloped out, although the momentum of the arrow, is short-lived, although your momentum is only 100 meters, but you completely disregard, for those expectant eyes, in order to complete the task,
Like an arrow, flying towards the target...... The starting gun sounded, and at the front were Chen Feng, a player wearing No. 16, and Fang Yongxu, a player wearing a 56, both of them from the Xiuzhou team! At the end of 50 meters, the two were still up and down, 70 meters, 80 meters, accelerated, Chen Feng accelerated, he surpassed Fang Yongxu, he overtook it! Chen Feng, the first to cross the finish line, the results displayed on the electronic timing board were ...... 9 sec...... 98!9 seconds98!9 seconds98!9 seconds98...... Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This is true! Chen Feng has once again created a miracle, he is our hero, he is the hero of all our Chinese, he has broken the Asian record, he has created a legend, a history, he has broken the 100-meter limit of all our Asians, he has broken, his time is 10.98 seconds! We have witnessed this history, it was created by Chen Feng! Chen Feng! Long live! Let's cheer for him to the fullest......
In fact, at this time, there was no need for the on-site commentator to roar hoarsely, and all the people on the scene had already begun to shout with all their strength after learning about Chen Feng's achievement. The whole stadium was bustling with activity.
"This can't be! This can't be! How is this possible!?" Inez shouted loudly, his mouth wide open, dumbfounded, "Oh my God! long He actually ran into the ten-second mark this time, his time was 9.98 seconds, this result is even more incredible than the Asian record he set in the men's shot put yesterday! Could it be that he practiced the magic of Chinese kung fu, or was he blessed by God to achieve the speed of a leopard?"
"Long, he is really unique, he is a miracle of God in his own right, and his existence is a legend. "It was also difficult for Levant to remain calm at this time, and he was completely full of praise to Chen Feng, "Long set a new Asian record this time, although we were very much looking forward to it before, most of us must not have much confidence, after all, in the history of the men's 100-meter race, there are only a handful of people who have broken the ten-second mark in the past few decades, and it is unique in Asia." However, he really deserves to be God's favorite, a miraculous being, who makes the impossible possible. β
The foreign commentators are still so excited, as a domestic commentator Han Qiaosheng is naturally even more excited at this time, he changed the previous "calm" and "neutral" commentary style, after Chen Feng's 100-meter result came out, he immediately jumped up from the commentary seat, and shouted: "9.98 seconds! Miracle! Miracle! Miracle! At this moment, Chen Feng is like a dragon god possessed, and he broke into the ten-second mark!" He has created a piece of history, he has written a strong and brilliant page in the history of athletics in China, no, all of Asia, he is the pride of all our Chinese! Chen Feng! A legend belonging to all our Chinese! He is a symbol of a new century for all our descendants of Yan and Huang, and his achievement today has given a very resounding slap in the face to those who have a theory of racial evolution, and we Chinese that we yellow people can also run in ten seconds, can also create a miracle, and can also have our own place in the world athletics arena......"
Finally, after Han Qiaosheng said a lot of emotional admiration from the machine gun, Li Shuangyong, as a guest, finally had the opportunity to interject at this time: "Chen Feng, this achievement can be said to be a milestone in the history of Chinese sports, and it indicates the rise of our Chinese track and field." β
At this time, Chen Feng, who was out of breath, also looked incredulous after knowing the results of this game from the loudspeaker.
"I actually ran into ten seconds?" Chen Feng was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He had never expected to run under 10 seconds before, because it was also very incredible for him, and even more puzzled than yesterday's shot put of 20.61 meters. The reason why he was able to play extraordinarily this time, to be honest, was really thanks to Fang Yongxu's close pursuit, until the last thirty meters, he didn't get rid of him, and even faintly felt that he would be surpassed by him last, that is, at this time, his brain kept flashing the signal to win, and his body was almost under the hypnosis of himself, and he miraculously ran faster and faster, and finally surpassed Fang Yongxu by a large margin.
"Could this be my potential?" Chen Feng was puzzled and slightly proud.
Fang Yongxu also walked up to Chen Feng out of breath, and said with a complicated face: "Chen Feng...... I...... "In the past, he still had a little hope and confidence to beat Chen Feng, but in today's most important race, he lost, and lost very completely, his final time was 10.28 seconds, which was worse than Chen Feng's result in the rematch yesterday.
"Xiao Xu...... I'm optimistic about you......" Chen Feng reached out and patted Fang Yongxu's shoulder with the attitude of an elder, and said with a smile, "You are a very good and qualified athlete, but I am only a cameo, with your current results, you are already capable of entering the national team, but I hope you will work harder and strive to break the record I set today." β
Fang Yongxu frowned slightly, and said with some unappreciation: "I will, I still regard defeating you as my goal." β
Chen Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes at him when he heard this, and was about to tease him a few words, when he saw the leaders led by Xu Guanghua and Zhang Chunyou rushing towards Chen Feng at a speed of 100 meters. This time, Zhang Chunyou gave full play to his advantage of wearing running shoes, and did not let Xu Guanghua, the deputy mayor, be the first to rush over and hug Chen Feng. Naturally, a spitting and excited speech was indispensable. Xu Guanghua was about to hug Chen Feng, but he saw a large group of media reporters rushing around the sidelines, which squeezed them away. The first to bear the brunt was the CCTV reporter Zhang Tong.
"Chen Feng! Chen Feng, How do you feel about breaking the 10-second mark this time and breaking the physiological limit of Asians for decades?"
Chen Feng also knew that his achievement today was really a bit appalling, and it also greatly boosted the morale of all the Chinese people, if he refused to be interviewed, it would not be good, so he waved his hand and signaled the bodyguards who came to "rescue" not to block it, and watched himself surrounded by so many reporters.
"My main feeling right now, like all of you, is incredible. To be honest, the result I achieved today is even more unbelievable than the men's shot put of 20.61m I achieved yesterday. Of course, I am very happy to have achieved such a good result. β
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, a reporter hurriedly asked: "Chen Feng, I heard that the relevant person in charge of the Hong Kong track and field team has planned to officially send you an invitation letter inviting you to join the Hong Kong track and field team, how do you respond to this?"
Regarding this question, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment before he said: "At present, I have not received any written invitation from the Hong Kong track and field team, and I have said before that I am not considering joining any track and field team for the time being, including the Hong Kong track and field team, as well as the national track and field team. β
Another reporter asked: "Chen Feng, now many people hope that you can join the national track and field team to win glory for the country, how do you feel about this?"
Chen Feng shrugged and smiled: "I have already said, I don't want to be a professional athlete, sports are just my hobby, I haven't treated it as a profession yet, if that happens, I will lose interest." So, I can only say sorry to those who care about me. β
"Chen Feng, you said that you want to participate in the Olympic Games, but now you refuse to join the national team, don't you want to participate in the Olympic Games now?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I also said that joining the country is not in conflict with participating in the Olympic Games, I think even if I participate in the Olympic Games in my personal name, I can get TongguΓ², of course, I hope to represent our country to participate in the competition, however, I hope this is just a name, I don't want to be tied to a track and field team, and lose my personal freedom." β
"Long, sports as your hobby, in addition to athletics, what other sports do you like, such as football, basketball...... Do you like it?" asked a foreign journalist.
"To be exact, I love all sports, including football and basketball. β
"So what's your favorite sport?"
Chen Feng smiled and replied, "Run." β
"Long, we heard that Karina, the president of Huateng International Investment Holding Group, who is known as the financial czaress, also came to watch the game this time, what is your relationship with her?" another foreign reporter quickly asked Chen Feng loudly in English.
Chen Feng didn't want to answer this question, but he was afraid that this would only make the outside world more suspicious and speculative, so it was better to be more generous Chen Feng directly, and immediately looked at the reporter and said: "Your news is very accurate, she came to watch the game this time, she is a friend of me and my family." Well, that's the end of the interview, thank you!"
After Chen Feng finally said this loudly, he returned to the backstage lounge under the cover of his bodyguards. The family and Karina have been waiting here for a long time.
As soon as the old mother Zhao Xiaolan saw Chen Feng, she shouted happily: "Son, they all say that you are now a banner of our Chinese!"
"Mom, in fact, I've been a banner for a long time!" Chen Feng said immodestly.
"Mom was talking about sports. Momiji explained with a smile, "You have broken two Asian records in a row in the past two days, and many people are very optimistic about your development in athletics. β
Chen Feng shook his head with a smile and said: "This is different, I am only participating in a middle school sports meeting in Donghai Province now, even if my results are excellent, it does not necessarily mean anything, if I have achieved results in the official large-scale sports meeting, it can be regarded as powerful, in order to be truly recognized by the world sports world." β
Zhao Xiaolan said with some disappointment when she heard this: "Ah, there is still this kind of exquisiteness?"
Karina interjected: "Isn't there going to be an Asian Games in Busan, South Korea next year? Chen Feng, you can take this opportunity to show your strength in the Asian Games." That way, you can really prove yourself to the whole world. β
Chen Feng quickly searched in his mind, and it was really the 14th Asian Games to be held in Busan, South Korea in September next year, according to Chen Feng's current level, if he participated, he would definitely be able to win one or two gold medals. Chen Feng's heart moved slightly, but he didn't take this matter seriously for the time being. I thought to myself, why bother to prove myself. In this way, it seems too contrived and quick success.
Zhao Xiaolan was very moved when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Son, mom is in charge, you will go to this Asian Games next year and officially bring back a few gold medals for mom." Chen Dayong couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you think our family will open the Asian Games?" "What do you know?" "What do you know?" Zhao Xiaolan said with white eyes, "With our son's powerful level, he has already broken two Asian records, and the gold medal in this Asian Games is naturally easy to win, not to mention that our son is only seventeen years old this year, and when he grows a year older, sports will naturally be even more powerful?"
"Hehe, Mom is right. Xiao Feng is still developing now, and next year his strength, speed and other aspects will definitely be more powerful. Momiji echoed.
Chen Dayong smiled slightly embarrassedly, obviously agreeing with Zhao Xiaolan's point of view.
