News of Chen Qiang's victory was sent back to China.

In Shanghai, Chen Ruji's newspaper office was sold out as soon as the door was opened, and today's newspapers were sold out by newspaper boys.

Because there was another news in the newspaper that Chen Qiang won the gold medal at the Olympics. This means that today's newspapers will definitely be sold out.

In front of a newsstand, the owner of the newsstand wrote the words "Chen Qiang won the championship again" in paper, and then posted it in front of the newsstand. After a while, a large number of people rushed over and bought all the newspapers today!

Large newspapers such as "Shenbao" and "News" all have their own printing equipment, and construction was already started on 24 hours a day, and the printing factory in Shanghai also received orders for printing.

Some newspapers simply published a collection of news reports about Chen Qiang participating in the Olympics, sorted all the reports about Chen Qiang in the past few days into a newspaper, and then printed them as a foreign magazine, and printed tens of thousands of copies for sale, and the sales were quickly completed.

Most people usually don’t buy newspapers to read, but because Chen Qiang has been making good achievements in the Olympics, those who originally didn’t buy newspapers have also bought newspapers; those who originally didn’t know what the Olympics are also paid attention to the Olympics and began to understand the Olympics. In just three days, many sports novices have grown into sports enthusiasts.

This is a bit like Chairman Yao entered the NBA when he was the one who didn’t pay attention to NBA or basketball started to watch NBA games, began to understand basketball, and eventually became a fan of NBA.

...

Not only in Shanghai, Tianjin, Peking, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha... Similar situations are also happening in other cities.

The newspapers were sold out, and people were talking about Chen Qiang and the Olympics in the streets.

At this time, if you don’t know Chen Qiang or the Olympics, it has become a very outdated thing.

He won three gold medals in three days and also broke the world record of three events, which really made Chen Qiang famous.

At this time, although Chen Qiang was not a household name in China, at least in the city, people already knew Chen Qiang's name and knew that Chen Qiang won the gold medal at the Olympics and brought glory to the country.

There were only more than fifty formal cities during the Republic of China period, and the urbanization rate was only 10%. However, there were 40 million people in China at that time, and 10% meant that 40 million people knew Chen Qiang. This meant that the news that Chen Qiang won the Olympics influenced 40 million Chinese and inspired 40 million Chinese!

In that era of poor communication, it was already a great thing to be able to inspire and inspire one-tenth of Chinese people.

...

On August 4, the Los Angeles Olympics came to its fifth game day.

On this day, Chen Qiang will participate in three games, namely the 400-meter preliminary and semi-finals, and the triple-level long jump final.

For the audience who came to watch the game on site, Chen Qiang is not a strange athlete. Those who have been watching the game for several consecutive days may even think that Chen Qiang is very familiar. Although the game has not started and there is no athlete introduction, when Chen Qiang appeared on the field, they recognized Chen Qiang from a distance.

"Chinese! It's the Chinese named Chen Qiang, he's here again!"

"My God, is he going to participate in the 400m race?"

"He has participated in the 100m, 200m and long jump competitions, and now he has appeared in the 400m field again!"

"That Chinese has signed up for three sprint events. Is he going to book the entire sprint event?"

"Oh no, that Chinese is here again, 100 meters and 200 meters, we both lost, and the 400 meters game, our American team is going to hang up!"

In the past three days, Chen Qiang's performance has been too outstanding, which has left a psychological shadow on many Americans. So when Chen Qiang appeared in the 400-meter arena, many American audiences were extremely guilty. They felt that the US team would lose to Chen Qiang in the 400-meter event.

There are also some who still maintain strong confidence in Team USA.

"The 400m has always been a strong event for our American team. This time we will definitely not lose to that Chinese!"

"In the last Olympics, the 400m champion was our American athletes. This time our American team will definitely be able to defend the title successfully!"

"Ben Iscarman, the world record holder of the 400-meter world record, is now in the United States. We have a world record holder, how can we lose!"

Immediately afterwards, someone sang a opposite tune.

"100 meters, 200 meters and long jump are not strong events for us Americans, aren't we still losing?"

"So what can the world record holder do? The three gold medals won by the Chinese have all broken the world record and won the championship? Maybe in the next 400-meter race, the Chinese will break the world record again! Ben Iscarman may not be the opponent of the Chinese!"

Although the game has not started yet, various debates are ringing one after another in the stands.

Of course, Americans hope that American athletes can win the game, and logically they should also support the American team unconditionally.

But they are really afraid of losing. For three consecutive days, the US team failed in the event of winning. Each event is "The US team is very awesome", "The US team is going to win the championship", "The US team is in a mess", and the US team is in this rhythm. This has seriously hit the confidence of some American audiences.

The most important thing is that the US team can see hope for victory in these three events!

In the final of the 100-meter sprint, three Americans advanced to the final and then lost;

In the long jump final, American athletes once stood in the top two and were turned over;

In the final of the 200-meter sprint, three Americans advanced to the final, and all three of them had the strength to break the world record. In anyone's opinion, it was a situation of winning the gold medal, and then he still lost!

If it is a event that cannot be won, it would be fine if it does not win the gold medal. The audience does not have any hope of winning, watch the game honestly and enjoy the exciting game process. However, before the game, they said they could win, and the situation in the game was also very good, but in the end they lost. This experience is really bad.

先给你希望,然后一脚将你踢下悬崖的事情,反倒是会让人觉得更加的绝望!

And this situation happened three times in a row.

If anyone else had lost hope for three consecutive days, they would probably lose confidence.

So many American audiences have lost confidence in the American team, and these people are involuntarily spreading pessimism.

Even though 400 meters is the strongest event for the US team, and even if the US team has a world record holder of 400 meters, many people are still not optimistic about the US team.

...

On the track, Chen Qiang dared not underestimate the US team at all.

The 400-meter sprint is the strongest track and field event for the United States. This was the case in the 1930s and the 21st century in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States' strong position in the 400-meter event has maintained nearly 100 years!

Chen Qiang still remembers that in the 2008 Olympics, the US team won the first, second and third place in the 400-meter men's sprint event, and raised the three-star and striped flags.

Chen Qiang, who comes from the future, knows that the United States is definitely the world's top in the 400m event. Even South African player Van Nikek broke the world record of 400m, it is not enough to shake the United States' dominance in this event. In the 400m event, the overall level of the United States is still too strong.

Unless there is a Bolt-level athlete in the 400-meter event, the US team's dominance in the 400-meter event will never be broken.

"Fortunately, it's still in 1932!" Chen Qiang looked around and found that all the white athletes participating in the competition were white athletes, which made Chen Qiang feel much less pressure.

For 100 meters and 200 meters, the United States sent black athletes to participate, while European countries were white athletes.

In the 400-meter event, there are no black athletes. Black athletes of this era are only active in 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and long jump, which require extremely high explosive power. Black athletes have not participated in track and field sports that have certain technical requirements.

It is a blessing to have no black athletes encountered in the sprint field.

There are six groups in the 400-meter preliminary round, and the top three in each group are still promoted. Chen Qiang was assigned to the third group, and Chen Qiang didn't recognize the other four players in the same group.

The referee also had no trace of ink and soon announced the start of the game.

Four athletes appeared in the first group, among which there were no Americans. The biggest star in this group was German player Adolfo Mezner. This person is very famous in Europe and once followed the German team to break the world record of 4 by 100 meters. At the same time, he also set a world record for men's decathlon in 1929, which means he is an all-round athlete.

However, in the Olympics, he did not participate in the decathlon, but only participated in the 400m competition. Perhaps he felt that the competition in other events was too fierce, and 400m would be easier to achieve results.

In addition to being an athlete, Adolf Mezner is also an excellent doctor. He will also participate in the SS in the future. After the end of World War II, since he was just a military doctor in the SS, he was not sentenced as a war criminal, but was fined 50 marks and gained freedom.

The players who appeared in the first group naturally attracted much attention. Experienced athletes can infer the results needed to advance to the rematch from the results of the first group of athletes.

In the end, Adolf Mezner advanced to the first team with a time of 50.4 seconds. This is obviously not his real strength. After all, it is in the preliminary round, and there is no need for a master like Adolf Mezner to fight to the death.

The second and third places are both 50 seconds 5, which is not a very fast result in 400-meter sports. However, this is much higher than the national record of 400 meters in old China. The national record of 400 meters in old China in history is 50 seconds 7 set by Chen Yinglang.

After seeing this result, Chen Qiang made a general judgment in his mind: "The results of the first group are lower than I thought. If you want to advance from the preliminary round, you should need a result of less than 50 seconds."

Immediately afterwards, the second group of athletes appeared, with only four athletes in this group, including world record holder Ben Iscarman, and Canadian player Jimmy Ball and German player John Shiner.

Jimmy Ball is the holder of the Canadian national record for 400 meters. He participated in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics and won the 400-meter silver medal.

John Shiner also participated in the Amsterdam Olympics, when he won the bronze medal in 400 meters.

So this group has world record holders, silver and bronze medal winners from the last Olympics, and the athletes are very strong. However, the fourth player in this group is a Mexican player with no fame, and there is no problem for the first three to advance.

The result was the same. Ben Iscarman won first place with a total of 49 seconds, John Shiner won second with a total of 49 seconds, and Jimmy Ball won third with a total of 49 seconds, and all three of them successfully advanced to the rematch.

In the third group, it was finally Chen Qiang's turn to appear.

There are five players in Chen Qiang's group, and the other four are from Finland, Norway, Sweden and Japan. These four are also unknown athletes and should not be strong. It is not difficult for Chen Qiang to advance.

There are many people paying attention to this group of games, especially the United States. They want to learn about Chen Qiang's 400-meter technology from this game.

In the World Games in Tianjin last year, Chen Qiang ran a score of 49.9 seconds. If this score is in later generations, even the standards for national first-class athletes will not meet.

But more than a year has passed, and Chen Qiang is now different from the past. 49 seconds 9, for him, it is simply something he can do by running around.

Over the past year, in addition to improving physically, Chen Qiang has been improving more 400 meters technology. As Chen Qiang becomes stronger and stronger, Chen Qiang can also use more advanced 400 meters running methods and adopt more scientific physical fitness allocation plans, which will lead to a leap in performance improvement.

The 400-meter world record in 1932 was 46.4 seconds. According to the track and field participation standards for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 400-meter needs to run to 45.95 seconds before reaching the Olympic B-standard. That is to say, the world record in the 1930s. If it reaches 2008, it will not even meet the minimum Olympic participation standards.

From this we can see that in the 1930s, the level of the 400-meter sprint was too far behind.

Chen Qiang looked at the 400-meter preliminary round very lightly, as long as he could ensure his advancement. Moreover, Chen Qiang will also participate in the triple-level long jump competition in the future, so he must save his physical fitness.

With the starter's gunshot, Chen Qiang rushed out of the starting line. He did not exert force, but accelerated step by step. With Chen Qiang's current strength, if he only ran within 50 seconds, he would not need to exert force at all. He just needed to skillfully use the physical energy distribution technology and then not make mistakes.

After starting, Chen Qiang felt that his opponent's strength was really not strong. As a world's top athlete, Chen Qiang could of course easily sense the speed of his opponent. At this time, Chen Qiang could feel that the other four contestants in the same group were all those who ran relatively slowly.

"This is just a preliminary round. Maybe they are retaining their strength, or maybe they are really bad. If they continue to run like this, the results of this group will reach 50 seconds." Chen Qiang said in his heart, but his feet were moving forward step by step.

Chen Qiang guessed that the players in this group are indeed relatively weak. The Finnish and the Norwegian had their best results at 48 seconds, while the Japanese and Swedish players, even if they tried their best, they could barely run through the 50-second mark.

This level is very good in their country, but it is really not enough to watch it in the Olympics.

After 200 meters, Chen Qiang felt that his physical fitness was not consumed too much. Even if he sprinted to the finish line with all his strength, his remaining physical fitness should be able to cope with it.

However, Chen Qiang did not do that. At this time, he was unwilling to do any fearless physical energy consumption.

On the sidelines, the athletes of the American team have been observing Chen Qiang.

"That Chinese didn't run fast at all!" Bill Carl said with disdain.

Ben Iscarman next to him had a much relaxed expression. He was also worried that Chen Qiang would be like 100 meters and 200 meters, and he would be able to break the world record in the rematch.

As a result, the speed that Chen Qiang showed is only 50 seconds. With such a result, it would be great to enter the rematch. Ben Iscarman also felt that there was no need to worry about Chen Qiang anymore.

"My real opponent is Bill. This guy emerged as a new force last year and has defeated me twice this year." Ben Iscarman said in his heart.

At this time, Chen Qiang had entered the final straight sprint on the track.

After entering the straight road, Chen Qiang suddenly realized that he was still in the first place.

"I didn't exert any force at all, but I still ran to the first place. The opponent's strength is too weak." Chen Qiang said in his heart, and at the same time he slowly relaxed.

Chen Qiang was thinking about the next triple jump final, so retaining physical fitness is Chen Qiang’s top priority now.

"The Chinese man's speed has slowed down. Is it because he is out of physical strength? It seems that he is just good at short-distance explosions. If he is long-distance, his physical strength will not be good. It turns out that he can only run 100 meters and 200 meters." Bill Carl on the sideline commented with a smile.

The American coaches next to them nodded in agreement when they heard Bill Carl's comments. At this moment, they felt that the pressure on their bodies disappeared without a trace.

The 100m, 200m and long jump are both strong events of the US team, but the US team lost gold medals one after another, and they both lost to Chen Qiang, which made the coaching staff of the US track and field team feel very stressed. They don’t want to lose to Chen Qiang in the strong event of the 400m. In that case, the United States will lose all its face in sprinting!

Chen Qiang's performance in the 400m event is not outstanding, which makes the coaching staff of the US team breathe a sigh of relief. The last fig leaf of their American sprint was finally saved.

On the track, Chen Qiang's speed slowed down a little, and the Norwegian and Finnish players behind also caught up. The Norwegian player's sprinting ability was very good, and he surpassed Chen Qiang in a blink of an eye. The Finnish player was also on par with Chen Qiang at a distance of 50 meters from the finish line.

As for Japanese and Swedish players, there are a lot of people behind. Chen Qiang looked at the distance. The Japanese player ranked fourth was at least 0.3 seconds slower than him, and the gap was still widening. Obviously, the physical fitness of Japanese athletes is no longer sustainable.

"Asian athletes have a worse level in the 400m event." Chen Qiang thought while continuing to keep pace with Finnish players.

The Norwegian player was the first to cross the finish line and won the first place in the group. His time was 49.5 seconds. The Finnish player accelerated sharply before the finish line and advanced to the second place in the group. His time was 49.8 seconds. Chen Qiang was the third time to cross the finish line, and his time was 49.8 seconds.

In the third place in the group, Chen Qiang just stepped on the threshold to advance, while the Japanese and Swedish players behind had to start at 50 seconds.

Successfully advanced and retained his physical strength to maximize his strength. Chen Qiang felt that this was a successful game, and he showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Three players and coaches from Team USA were also smiling.

The contestants felt that they would be invited to the White House to receive the president's reception.

The coaches felt that they could finally defeat Chen Qiang in the 400-meter event and get some face for the US team!
Chapter completed!
