Run Out of My Life - Chapter 378
“Onyourmarks!”
The voices from the sidelines sounded.
In the Icahn Stadium, the noise was quieted down a little.
At this time, the heavy rain in the stadium has ended, but there is still drizzle falling, wet and slightly cool.
The rubber track is a little slippery. Under the light of the lighting tower in the distance, you can faintly see some reflective shadows on the concrete outside the track.
But such a track is not entirely bad for athletes.
Icahn Stadium is well-drained, and there is no standing water on the flat track. The rubber material has very good water absorption, and it is impossible to slip with the spiked shoes of athletes. On the contrary, because of the infiltration of rain, the surface of the track will become softer and more elastic.
This is useful for athletes to run and create better results.
In the sprint and sprint competition, the performance improvement is often between hundredths of a second. There are some venues like New York’s Icahn Stadium, Lossandra Pontes Stadium, the venue conditions are excellent, plus If the wind speed is suitable, athletes can easily create particularly good results.
Usain Bolt leaned over and squatted in a white sprint suit, facing the current two top sprinters in the United States, he had no pressure in his heart.
And for more than half a year since last year, he feels that he is in a good state of training, strong and confident.
This game is his fifth 100-meter game, he wants to test his training results, eager to fight, eager to beat all other opponents.
He stepped on the running aid, and at this moment there was only one thought in his mind: “Come on!”
“SET!”
Pop!
The starting gun rang, and the nine players suddenly got up and rushed out of the track.
But it stopped immediately, there was a huge boos, and the eighth Bahamas player Derek Atkins took the lead!
The young Bahamian sprinter who was one of the most promising last year, has been underwhelming in several races this year. And this game with Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin was a bit of a desperate run!
Bolt trotted and stopped, watching the referee on the sidelines give a warning, a little luck filled his heart.
At the moment when the gunshots sounded, he felt that he was caught off guard, and the starting reaction was too slow. At the moment when the gunshots sounded, he was still thinking: what is this sound? Alas, this is the starting pistol! run run run! Then he ran off the runway.
“Hur-“
Before returning to the starting line, Bolt sighed lightly, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and his relaxed expression gradually became solemn.
A full step, it is also a lot slower than Justin Gatlin, who is not particularly fast at the start.
“Hey Usain, you gotta be smart and focus, you’re so relaxed! You can’t be two full steps behind…”
Bent over and squatted on the starting line again, Usain Bolt raised his head and looked at the finish line of 100 meters in front of him, made a ten on his chest, and readjusted his state.
He didn’t have much pressure in this game. Although he wanted to show the Yankees some good looks, he was still a little too relaxed.
And suddenly after Derek Atkins ran away, the string in his heart began to tighten.
This is the men’s 100-meter competition. The opponent is very strong. If you want to win, Usain, you have to be serious and put in 100%!
…
Tyson Gay, who returned to the starting line, picked up the mineral water he had placed behind the starting block again, and took a small sip.
The smaller stride and his fast enough cadence can allow him to complete the acceleration after the start as quickly as possible, and enter the stage of running at an absolute high speed on the way.
Putting down the mineral water in his hand, Tyson Gay stood in front of the starting line with his hands raised, his index finger pointed to the sky. With his action, cheers rang out from the stands of Icahn Stadium.
Bent down, head down.
The index fingers and thumbs of both hands pressed against the cold plastic track, ready to listen to the coming gunfire again.
This game cannot be lost!
“Ah!”
Justin Gatlin clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly shouted, as if to vent his sullen emotions, but also to encourage himself.
When he turned back to the starter, he inadvertently glanced at Derek Atkins, who was running, his eyes were burning with fire.
In daily life, he has become calm and gentle now, but as long as he is on the court, he will re-enter the aggressive player that almost makes other players hate.
Ferocious and aggressive.
Especially after the first run just now, this emotion of his almost subconsciously revealed itself.
Become a beast with an almost insane desire to win.
And not afraid of any opponent!
There are often discussion posts on the network of later generations, who is the fastest running Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay in the peak period!
In terms of personal bests, there is no doubt that Tyson Gay is better than Justin Gatlin. Below Gay’s personal best is a series of bests under 9.80, while most of Gatlin’s scores are between 9.80-9.90.
But if compared to the stability of play, the honor of the competition, Gatlin is far more than Gay.
This is an athlete who can play 100% of his level against almost any opponent, and has very few injuries.
climbing.
The eyes of the audience returned to the starting line again.
In the duel between Tyson Gay and Gatlin, except for Usain Bolt, a Jamaican player, who can attract the attention of a certain audience, other players, regardless of Is it Michael Flatt, the former Jamaican national championship champion, or Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, or two American players, Walter Dix and Davis Barton, all can only be reduced to For background boards and supporting roles.
The athletes in these lanes also know very well that in such a duel, there is hardly much attention paid to them before the game.
Unless…
Unless you can cross the finish line faster than the other three and win the race!
Then, he will become the protagonist of this stadium, win countless flowers and applause, and enter the sequence of the world’s top athletes.
Is it possible?
Maybe it’s impossible, but who doesn’t want to win the championship as long as they are on the same starting line?
The nine runners returned to the starting line, bent down and squatted down one by one, keeping their bodies still.
The two on-site referees scanned the movements of the nine players back and forth, and after confirming that they were correct, they all signaled to the starter next to them.
In the stadium, which was a little damp after the rain, the lights were bright.
Quiet!
The battle is on!
“SET!”
Before the starting line, the nine runners moved in unison, from leaning over to half squatting to make the starting position, with a focused look and tensed muscles, everyone was like a loaded bullet, just waiting to be buckled The moment you pull the trigger!
Pop!
The sound of electronic starting guns resounded throughout Icahn Stadium again.
The stadium, which was like stagnant water, boiled in an instant.
“Success!”
At the start of the moment, a thought flashed in Usain Bolt’s mind.
He felt fluid in his reflexes, quick starts and powerful runs.
The powerful acceleration ability propelled his tall body into a madness, his thighs and calves stepped on the slippery track strongly, and the swinging arms of his hands swayed vigorously.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…
The NBC TV’s special commentator, who had all his attention on the fourth track Tyson Gay and the fifth track Justin Gatlin, Michael Johnson, almost saw in a moment that he never foreseeable circumstances.
“Tyson Gay got off to a fast start…Gatling…oh Usain Bolt…he’s ahead of everyone…”
At the end of the 30-meter acceleration, Usain Bolt, wearing a white sprint suit, went beyond most people’s imagination. He took the lead and ran to the first position.
At the moment of starting, Bolt’s position was not much different from that of Gatling and Guy. Even ten meters ahead, he was slightly behind, but after twenty meters , Bolt’s quick stride rate and extra-large stride made him stand out from the nine competitors.
Justin Gatlin of the fifth channel only felt a flash of people around him, and at that moment, he seemed to return to the scene where he once played with Suzu.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, he started quickly, but Su Zu, who was beside him, had already flashed past, heading towards him.
And Tyson Gay in the fourth lane also suddenly felt that something was wrong, Gatlin and him were almost neck and neck, but on Gatlin’s side, a figure rushed up.
White sprint suit? !
That’s Usain Bolt!
In the middle of the arena, the two people in the fourth and fifth lanes felt the pressure coming from their faces at the same time.
But both of them are players who came out of the bottom American arena step by step with strong mentality. They are not the former Asafa Powell. It didn’t make them unbalanced.
Speed up!
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…
“Wow!”
The audience was amazed almost at the same time.
Usain Bolt’s speed in the sixth lane was astonishingly fast, and when he reached the 60-meter position, he had already shaken the lead. He was almost meters away from Derek Atkins, who was last.
Other players were left far behind.
At this moment, there are only two people.
Tyson Gay in the fourth lane and Justin Gatlin in the fifth lane followed and bitten.
That is the only two of the remaining eight players who can closely follow Usain Bolt.
Justin Gatlin’s running style is as weird as ever, but the large stride and the powerful ability to send hips make him look at the running action, although not beautiful, but the speed is amazing.
The feeling of human limit power.
However, at this moment, even though Guy and Gatling’s speed has reached the extreme, there is still one person in front of them, with absolute strength, leading.
After 60 meters, the form on the field is more clear than the previous 30 meters.
Whether it is in front of the TV or the audience at the scene, they can clearly see the situation in the scene at this moment.
The tall, strong Usain Bolt ran at an incredible speed in this game. He overwhelmed the unanimous Usain who was considered by the United States before the game. Son Gay and Justin Gatling go head-to-head.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…
Tyson Gay looked ferocious, with blue veins on his forehead and neck. Justin Gatlin’s eyes widened and he almost cried out in anger.
Even though both of them are good at killing opponents in the second half, at this moment, they and Usain Bolt, who is running in front, are still unable to draw a distance.
At this moment, countless people in the stands opened their mouths, almost completely sluggish.
Usain Bolt looked straight ahead, and at this moment he did not feel that there were other opponents around him.
At the Osaka World Championships, when he was overtaken by Tyson Gay, he had clearly heard the other party’s rapid breathing, but this time, he didn’t feel anyone beside him at all.
“Am I ahead of everyone!?” A quick thought flashed by, and Bolt almost turned to look at the opponents in the left lane.
But he was so fast that the finish line was already in front of him.
Cross the line!
In the Icahn Stadium, the instant frenzy atmosphere broke through the sky!
Operated by the Randalls Island Park Alliance (RIPA), Icahn Stadium, Hutsell Rosen Track and Field, Hayward Field, John McDonnell Stadium and RockChalkPark are the only five IAAF Division 1 certifications in the nation One of the track fields.
And today, the 5,000-meter spectators in this stadium and thousands of spectators outside the stadium, they are not only for Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin.
The five major districts of New York have always gathered a lot of Jamaican expatriates. After the Jamaica Invitational, Usain Bolt’s name appeared on the list of athletes at the Icahn Stadium on Randall Island. The audience for Bolt’s game is by no means smaller than that of Guy and Justin.
When many American audiences were still silent in the atmosphere of Guy and Gatling losing at the same time, losing to a Jamaican.
Another part of the Jamaican diaspora has danced and jumped into a sea of joy.
“Usain Bolt…he…he flew…”
At this time, Michael Johnson of NBC live was speechless, watching all the runners crossing the finish line.
It was supposed to be a race between two of the fastest current sprinters in the United States, but a Jamaican turned out to take all the glory!
Although Tyson Gay’s performance is good enough, Justin Gatlin is worthy of the title of the first person in sprinting, and the results of the two of them are placed in almost most of the competitions. Has the strength to win the championship and break the competition!
But, this game is completely the stage of that Jamaican!
9 seconds 68!
Break the world record of 9 seconds 69 run by Su Zu at the Osaka World Championships!
A new world record is born here!
“9 seconds 68! New world record! Omg!”
The moment he crossed the finish line, Bolt looked up at the score of the timer next to him, almost stunned, his mind was a mess.
“I won?! Beat Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin! So what’s next? I never thought I’d break a world record!”
Bolt, who crossed the finish line, hardly stopped, he felt extremely excited, excited, and mixed with various emotions.
“Should I stop and wave? Or should I run and jump like a lunatic? Or run into the audience?”
Thoughts come and go.
It wasn’t until he felt his breathing became heavy that Bolt slowly stood up.
He looked up, only to realize that he had run around the track of the stadium before he knew it.
“I won! I set a world record!”
Bolt knelt on the runway and lowered his head, looking like a prayer to thank God.
At this time on the big screen, the results of this group have also come out.
The top three results almost drove all track and field fans crazy!
1. The sixth track, Usain Bolt, the reaction was 0.154 seconds, and the score was 9 seconds 678;
2. Fourth track, Tyson Guy, reaction 0.147 seconds, score 9 seconds 703;
3. Fifth track, Justin Gatlin, reaction 0.159, score 9 seconds 716;
