just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 271 [-]m Final
Athens Olympic Stadium

After the player information was introduced sequentially, the nine players walked back and forth on their respective tracks, making the final pre-match preparations.

Before the starting line, the athletes jumped or stood, firm or dignified.Gestures, movements, all kinds of physical activities are endless.

Most of the time, many athletes will have such a small movement or habit of self-adjustment before the competition.

Or like Green's left and right twisting, with sharp eyes looking ahead.

Or look up at the sky and mutter like Obikviru praying with his head up.

Even those like Gatlin, kneeling on the runway, greeted with cheers, etc., etc., this is a kind of psychological sustenance for them.The purpose is to devote myself to the game with the best mental and psychological state in the future.

Zhao Lin and Shen Huan are no exception, but compared to other people, their physical movements are much less.What's more, they are chanting silently over and over in their minds.

"The coach said...the coach said..."

This may already be one of their beliefs!
"On your marks!"

With the sound of a password, the nine contestants finished their pre-match movements and stepped onto the starting block.

After the few people who had been silent before officially set foot on the starting line, a solemn atmosphere quietly spread in the space.

The Olympic Stadium, which was lively and noisy, also dropped a little bit, and they were waiting.

"Okay, the race will start right away, and the players have already started to take their positions, usually in the [-]-meter race..."

Yang Jian's voice synchronized with the action on the scene, introducing the situation in the field, and also mentioned some information about Baimi along the way.

He also hopes that more spectators and Chinese people will really fall in love with this sport. This is the most basic physical movement of human beings, and it is also the most intense and important sport in modern Olympics. It can better represent the spirit of the Olympics!
In a few seconds, the referee came down again and checked the athletes' positioning movements one by one. After confirming that they were correct, he made a gesture.

"Set!"

At the same time, the starter's ready password sounded.

The nine finalists simultaneously squatted down and lowered their heads, then started to stand up, bowing their bodies to make a starting position.

"Bang~"

"Game start!"

After a gunshot, the media area immediately exploded. The commentators from many countries almost all read these four words with the greatest enthusiasm. Under the rendering of the sound atmosphere of the entire stadium, they were full of passion.

"beep~"

Emotions were ignited instantly, but the clear whistle of violations sounded, and the voices of the audience fell down again.

After Zhao Lin ran a few steps, he stopped, took a light breath, and then let it out slowly.I have never sought to rush and press the gun, and I have always started at the rhythm that I am most comfortable with.

Therefore, when faced with a rush, he did not panic.He has never been a person who particularly pursues extreme starts.

His eyes couldn't help but glanced at the position on the right. He could feel that maybe it was that someone. Just now, even he, who was separated by a runway, could faintly feel that person's advance.

"Chen Huan ran away!" Yang Jian's voice was a little regretful, just now he was staring at him, the moment he started running, he immediately had a positional advantage after rushing out, it was really amazing.It's a pity that he was sentenced to run away!
"Our athletes are very young, but they don't panic or stage fright in the face of big competitions. They still dare to think and fight. This is..."

When re-preparing on the field, Han Qiao supported the words, from a more healthy and positive direction, and cooperated with Yang Jian to read through the interpretation.

……

On the sidelines of the arena, Lin Mu couldn't help shaking his head slightly after watching the moment of running together.

What a perfect start!

Yes, perfect, from Lin Mu's observation, he can only describe it in this way, there is no pressure gun, but the gun is fired as soon as it is fired, it is more like a pressure gun than a pressure gun.

This time, the starting reaction was 0.098, less than 0.1 seconds, and it was judged to be a false start, but Lin Mu really didn't know what to say at this time.

According to the regulations of the IAAF, the starting reaction speed is less than 0.1 seconds as a false start. In their view, the limit from the sound transmission to the athlete receiving the reaction is 0.1 seconds.

But Lin Mu discovered that maybe it really wasn't so absolute!

Of course, this is a run of many chances and coincidences, and there may be very few opportunities in the future, and the impact will not be too great after all.He also just hoped that Shen Huan would not be under too much pressure because of this preemptive run.For a player like Shen Huan, the start and the first few steps are very important in his game!

"Little..." Yu Weili whispered, and was about to say something to express his emotions.But seeing what Lin Mu and other coaches were doing at this time, he held back.

With both hands gripping the guardrail tightly, the veins on his hands popped.He was even more nervous stimulated by an early run!
"Come on, run!"

At the scene and in front of the TV, all the audience froze a little.An early run does not affect any one person. According to the IAAF regulations, at this moment, all of them automatically bear a warning, and they will be out of the game again!

Zhao Lin turned his shoulders, did two more stretches, and returned to the starting line again.Looking ahead, a flash of fire flashed across his eyes.

Shen Huan ran away, he couldn't guess what was going on right now, but he didn't see the feeling of being too nervous when they looked at each other just now.This made him feel a little relieved.

The two were in the finals together, and he hoped that both of them could perform at their best, not only for China, but also for the team and the coach.There are no problems with their bodies and states.It shouldn't be affected by accident!

As for the final ranking and results, in the words of the coach, try your best to try and outrun yourself, and you will naturally be in your most suitable position in the end.

Come on!Shen Huan!

Come on!Zhao Lin!

Liudao, Badao, two "white" teenagers in red sprint suits, adjusted their breathing, and each sent encouragement to the other!
The adjustment of the game continued, all the contestants took their positions again, and the atmosphere on the scene began to become dignified.

Command again,
"boom!"

The gunfire of the game sounded again.

All the athletes set off at the same time following the gunshots.

"Game start!"

Amidst the countless clamor and cheers, the voices of the commentators suddenly rang out again.

On the track, the 9 figures still start almost instantaneously, but the starting screen transmitted by the big screen on the scene really reflects the problem,
Except for a few one or two players who were highly skilled and bold, or whose conditioned reflexes were still maintained very well, most of the other players had a little lag when facing the gunfire.Listening to the sound, entering the brain, and directing the body's actions, the efficiency is undoubtedly much lower.

Zhao Lin was one of the few people who maintained a good posture. He meticulously prepared the starting posture, and when the starting gun sounded, he rushed out completely relying on the subconscious natural reaction of his body.

This has always been what he usually practices the most.Although there is no instant movement like Shen Huan's, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for his own rhythm.With a sudden kick on the starting block pedal, he ran out quickly.Leaning the body, the legs quickly folded and moved forward, showing a sense of strength and explosion in the whole person.

If Zhao Lin is average, Maurice Green, a 28-year-old veteran, also took advantage of this reaction speed. He used his still strong strength and rich game experience to win a slight advantage.What followed was a quick start and acceleration, and his rhythm also picked up!

Shen Huan, including Crawford, all ran with good efficiency, but compared to their usual performance, it seemed a little worse.But after a smooth start, they can still display their respective strengths.

One step at a time, two steps at a time, and three steps at a time, the figures of the nine players rowed forward, and countless people watching could see the starting gap between the few two or three players with their naked eyes.

Zachary, Obikviru, and Powell didn't seem to respond to the gun body, and the lag at that moment was particularly obvious.If you look at the closer facial close-ups, you can even see the horror in Powell's eyes after the gunshot!
At that moment, maybe he hesitated, maybe a certain terrible experience frightened him.In short, after starting to run, the direct impact is that, in just a few steps, the group of people in front who seemed to be moving in a uniform manner pulled most of them apart.

Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

All the players are speeding up with their own familiar rhythm.

This is the acceleration stage. Except for one or two players, the distance between all the players is almost extremely small. Green is still the fastest to seize the position. With his absolute strength, he gradually stands out.

And on his left and right, there were also a few figures who maintained the advantage in starting and starting speed, ahead of most people, and always followed Green closely.

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!
40 meters, 60 meters, [-] meters...

"Uh! Ah!" There was a muffled roar of pain, which was exceptionally clear, and after the cry of pain sounded, the hearts of the other athletes on the track couldn't help but move.They don't know what's going on.But this roar made many people feel the same way.

First in the preliminaries group, ran the best results in recent years.Green was slightly worried about his physical strength for the run in the final.But it is more about anticipation and longing. He has not achieved significant results for too long.

But at this moment, the roar made him tremble involuntarily.He thought of last year, of the Chinese man, who was injured and left the game, and retired halfway through the game. He experienced it more than once, and occasionally once or twice, he felt that his body and mind were not affected much.But only at this moment did he realize that some of the influences actually gradually seeped into his bones as he grew older and his condition declined.

Channel 9 player Zachary was injured and left the field.

But in fact, in the competition, situations like this happen from time to time. It is unknown how the athletes themselves feel psychologically, but most of the opponents will not be disturbed by these special abnormal situations.

Those who are serious, focused, and maintain the lead seem to be exerting their most powerful strength to move forward crazily on the track.

But for many things, those that are not affected are indeed not affected, and those that are affected will inevitably undergo some changes after all.

At this time, it has entered the stage of high-speed running. Gatlin in the fifth lane, Zhao Lin in the sixth lane, and Crawford in the second lane are running at almost the same speed and rhythm. The gap between them is extremely small, and they are always tight Bite behind Green.Even Shen Huan, who is badass, even though his absolute speed is slightly inferior to the others at this time, he still pursues with all his strength, and the gap is not enough to make people despair.

And behind him, after 60 meters, Obike Velu and Powell, who had a terrible start, finally caught up with the rhythm.

But the loss of the two steps at the start and the speed is indeed huge. Until now, they are still far behind, swinging their bodies wildly, and they are also chasing vigorously.

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters...

The four runners at the forefront are sprinting towards the final finish line without reservation. From the distance between 70 meters to the current 90 meters, they can feel the changes in the positions between the left, right, front and rear players and them.

At this moment, there are no extra thoughts, and the end is close at hand. Even though all the athletes have felt the weight of their bodies at this time, they still have not given up.

Green, who secretly hurt himself halfway, also completely slowed down at this time. Although he was no longer an absolute leader, he believed that he still had a chance.

Ten meters to the finish line...

Zhao Lin suddenly squeezed out another force.

From the start of the final to the present, he has not felt a lack of physical strength, and he has not paid attention to his opponent since the whole run.But he has been entangled with such a long distance, even if he doesn't pay attention, it is impossible for him to be unaware.

He's been ahead, but most of the time he's behind.Although in terms of absolute speed, he is not weaker than others.But after all, there is a difference between the burst of starting speed and the continuous burst of speed between segments.Compared with the real top players, he knew that he was still a little weaker.

Running out of myself, he thought of that Powell, and he was deeply touched by many explosive feelings. In this game, he unconsciously incorporated some feelings, but he felt at the moment that it was not enough...

Just as the thought was turning, the few contestants who were almost in a crowd passed the finish line like a gust of wind!
100 meters!

Lean over and press the line!
"9 seconds 88!"

The score number No.1 on the timing card jumped out instantly.

For all the audience on and off the court, there are not many people who can sit still at this moment.Staring at the TV screen, staring at the big screen, they all cast their attention and enthusiasm on it.

They could vaguely tell who won, but none of them, including the athlete himself, dared to confirm. 4 people, including the three people behind, crossed the finish line in two batches, and the gap was really not that big.

Didn't make people wait too long,

Information flashed on the big screen, and the results of the men's [-]-meter race finals were listed according to their rankings.

1. The fifth track, Justin Gatlin, the United States, with a score of 9 seconds;

2. Sixth Road, Zhao Lin, Huaxia, with a score of 9 seconds;

7. The eighth track, Shen Huan, Huaxia, scored 10 seconds 004;

8. The first track, Kim Collins, St. Kitts, with a score of 10 seconds;

9.…

……

"The results are announced... Oh! Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin is No.2, silver medal, and runner-up. Last year at the World Championships, he broke the Asian record with a time of 9 seconds and won the 96-meter championship in the World Championships. Today, he again He once won the Olympic silver medal in the men's 9-meter race with a record-breaking 90 seconds.

This is the first time for Huaxia to participate in the men's [-]-meter final of the Olympic Games. In the sprint event, this is our first Olympic medal and the first sprint event medal in Asia. We have honored Huaxia, and we have also honored Asia. Glory to the world..."

In the media area, Yang Jian and Han Qiao were almost trembling as they interpreted the game and the silver medal to the audience across the country.

In the last stage of the competition, they were already stimulated. Zhao Lin ran extremely well throughout the whole process, and the gap was really very small in the end.And now Zhao Lin is still young, even if Shen Huan only took seventh this time, the time of 10 indicates that their future still has unlimited possibilities.

Chen Jianhai before, Zhao Lin and Shen Huan now, Huaxia's track and field sprint is really on the rise!

……

On the [-]-meter finish line of the Olympic Stadium,

Zhao Lin raised his head and looked at the results displayed on the big screen, with a strange expression on his face.

"9 seconds 90, silver medal..."

The unexpected joy and the regret of sending someone away flashed through his mind at the same time, he was a little pondering, and even a little excited!
"Zhao Lin, congratulations!"

With a rare excited smile on his face, Shen Huan walked to Zhao Lin's side.

"Uh, I still lost, we will go to the coach later, I want to..."

Trying to control his emotions, Zhao Lin talked to Shen Huan in a very "calm" tone.

He is not pretending to be arrogant, he really has never won the silver medal.Since he started to enter professional sports, except for indoor competitions, he has always been a gold medalist in the [-]-meter event.

Therefore, the current silver medal, even if it is an Olympic silver medal, has a gold content that is not comparable to other competitions.But besides the excitement of winning the medal, he still had some entanglements in his heart.

Before he struggled for too long, the media reporters who had long been unable to hold back, after the referee finally confirmed the results.He rushed in from the outside in an instant.

It was already the last project, and no one would stop them now.They can choose the athletes that interest them the most to find some interviews.

A large group of long spears and short clubs followed Gatlin, who won the championship, touring the field, and the sound of clicking and clicking never stopped for a moment.

Zhao Lin and Shen Huan, who were just strolling towards the sidelines, were "surrounded" by more than a dozen reporters after they hadn't taken a few steps.

The pictures on the scene were clearly transmitted to all parts of the world through the signal.

Two teenagers with different skin colors walked to the Olympic [-]-meter final, and one teenager squeezed into the final top three. In a traditionally defined arena, they really broke in!
At this moment, countless people have a faint feeling in their hearts, break the law, and break forward!

It seems that everything is some kind of omen, maybe everything is just the beginning!
