The rematch of the 100-meter sprint continued. In the third group, American athlete Ralph Metcalf advanced first in the group with a time of 10.5 seconds, while in the last group, German athlete Erich Borchmeyer also advanced to the semi-finals with a time of 10.5 seconds. He is also the only remaining German team in this event.

Erich Borgemeyer once participated in the 200m and 4 by 100m of the last Los Angeles Olympics. He advanced to the semi-finals in the 200m event, and 4 cities and 100m, and he helped the German team win a silver medal. In the 100m event, Erich Borgemeyer once ran abroad for 10.3 seconds, but due to technical reasons, this result was not certified. However, Tinus Osendapju is still one of the best sprinters in Europe.

The semi-finals of the 100-meter sprint will be held tomorrow morning, and the sprinters can go back and rest, but Jesse Owens stayed in the arena. He wanted to see with his own eyes how Chen Qiang will perform in the high jump final.

In the morning qualifying round, a total of 22 athletes skipped the height of 1.85 meters, and they will all participate in the afternoon finals.

The starting height of the final was 1.70 meters. Chen Qiang directly chose the pass, while other contestants either chose the pass, or successfully completed the trial jump.

Those who can pass the qualifying round can skip 1.85 meters, so the starting height of 1.70 meters is just a warm-up for them.

The next height was 1.80 meters, and all athletes successfully crossed, followed by the height of 1.85 meters. A Polish athlete was unlucky and failed all three trial jumps, becoming the first athlete to be eliminated in the finals.

The next height is 1.90 meters, which is the first height to exceed the threshold of the qualifying competition and the first test for the final athletes.

Chen Qiang walked into the running assist area, looked at the crossbar at a height of 1.90 meters in the distance, and then started running assist.

He still uses straight-line running-up technique. With his current physical fitness and high jump skills, he only has a height of 1.90 meters, so there is no need to use arc running-up.

Chen Qiang jumped over the 1.90-meter crossbar without any drag. The whole set of movement was very easy, obviously this height could not defeat him.

Chen Qiang completed the first trial jump of 1.90 meters very easily.

Chen Qiang is not the only athlete who seems to be at ease at this height. In addition to him, the three American players, the three Japanese players, and the two Polish players also successfully crossed the height of 1.90 meters in the first time they tried their best.

An athlete was able to succeed in his first jump, which shows that his strength is far more than 1.90 meters, and the next height is not difficult for him.

At a height of 1.90 meters, 10 players were eliminated at once, with an elimination rate of nearly 50%. There were two other players. Although they successfully crossed 1.90 meters, the process was very difficult. They did not succeed until the third try jump. At the next height, they were likely to fail.

The next height is 1.94 meters, and Chen Qiang directly chose pass.

"Chen Qiang passed by 1.94 meters away! He is really bold."

"The next height should be 1.97 meters, right? It's really confident that the Chinese person is rising directly from 1.90 meters to 1.97 meters!"

"I think he is stupid. This is over 1.90 meters tall, and he can't jump over it at all."

"Maybe he chose to pass because he couldn't jump 1.94 meters. If he failed at a height of 1.97 meters, it would always sound better than if he failed at a height of 1.94 meters!"

The audience's discussions were heard one after another.

If it is in the future, the height from 1 meter 90 to 1 meter 97 is not a surprising move. For example, the Olympics or World Championships, the initial height is around 2 meter 15. However, in the 1930s, there were only a dozen people in the world who could skip 1 meter 90, and the height from 1 meter 90 to 1 meter 97 is directly increased by the ladder.

High jump is a gradual sport. For athletes, every try jump is an opportunity for adjustment. Whether the jump succeeds or fails, athletes will check for omissions and fill in the gaps in order to correct the shortcomings in the next try jump and continuously improve their scores. Especially when they reach a relatively high level, the opportunity for each try jump is particularly precious.

In the 1930s, 1.94 meters tall was a particularly high height, and no athlete would give up this height. Those with stronger strength hope to improve their competitive state by trying to jump to 1.94 meters tall. However, athletes with average strength regarded 1.94 meters tall as a challenge.

Even the three American players are very strong and have the ability to skip 1.94 meters at a time, and they will not choose to pass the height.

For Chen Qiang, due to the existence of his Vietnam-style technology, he could completely ignore the height of 1.94 meters.

At this time, Chen Qiang did not have to participate in the test jump at this height, but began to patiently observe other contestants.

If you can successfully jump at a height of 1.94 meters, if you can successfully jump in one trial, you will basically have the ability to jump 2 meters. At that time, jumping 2 meters was already the top athlete in the world.

All three American players succeeded in one go.

This time the US team sent a white man and two black men to participate in the high jump competition of the Berlin Olympics. The white man was named Debors Thurber, a 19-year-old young player. He was a little famous in the United States, but he had never won the American championship, let alone the title of world champion.

The reason why Deborsthurber has not won the championship in the United States is because his opponent is too strong. At the Berlin Olympics, Deborsthurber's opponent became his teammate, two other players of the United States.

Two other teams of the United States, Guney Johnson, are 22 years old. He once participated in the men's high jump competition at the Los Angeles Olympics and won fourth place. In a New York game in July 1936, he broke the world record in the high jump event with a score of 2.07 meters.

Another person's name is Dave Albriton, who was 23 years old a few years old. This was his first time participating in the Olympics. However, in the match in New York in July 1936, he also jumped 2.07 meters and broke the world record.

In other words, in that game, two athletes who broke the world record appeared, namely Guney Johnson and Dave Albriton, but neither of them could go further and complete the next high challenge.

In history, these two world record holders won almost all high jump championships in the United States from 1936 to 1938.

Now these two world record holders have also appeared at the Berlin Olympics. Therefore, in the pre-match prediction, it is generally believed that the champion will be born from these two.

In addition to the United States, the Japanese team's strength in the high jump event is also extraordinary.

The three Japanese players are Yano Kyoshi, Tanaka Hiro and Aso Yoshiro, and Chen Qiang once met two of them at the Far East Games in Manila. At a height of 1.94 meters, these three Japanese players also successfully jumped in one try.

At that time, there was a great technical interoperability between long jump and high jump. Almost every athlete who was good at long jump would be good at high jump. Similarly, athletes who were good at high jump were also good at long jump. Even in the Olympics, there were many athletes who signed up for long jump and high jump. Therefore, Japan, which is good at long jump, has not weak skills in high jump events.

In addition to three American players and three Japanese players, a Finnish athlete named Kalevi Kotacas is also very good. In the past three years, Kalevi Kotacas has broken European records four times and can be regarded as the number one person in Europe for long jump. It is worth mentioning that Kalevi Kotacas once participated in the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, but he participated in the discus event at that time, so he was a high jump and discus athlete. At the Berlin Olympics, Kalevi Kotacas also signed up for the high jump and discus events.

The height of 1.94 meters prevented the two athletes from continuing to move forward. At this time, there were 10 players left on the field, and the next height was raised to 1.97 meters.

Since I chose pass at a height of 1.94 meters, Chen Qiang must participate in the trial jump this time.

"If you don't use the curved running-up technique at a height of 1.97 meters, you should be able to jump over it!" Chen Qiang said in his heart, and then he still used the straight running-up technique.

However, just as he started to jump, Chen Qiang realized that he had not grasped the opportunity to jump, and he had jumped too early!

Chen Qiang tried hard to control his body in the air, but he still felt that the corner of his clothes touched the crossbar, and when he landed on the ground, he could clearly see that the crossbar was swaying slightly.

However, Chen Qiang was lucky, and the crossbar finally held on and did not fall down.

Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and walked off the mat.

On the sidelines, Jesse Owens commented: "This time Chen Qiang didn't seize the opportunity to take off. He just hit the crossbar, but he was very lucky and the crossbar did not fall. But he couldn't have such good luck every time he tried to jump!"

At a height of 1.97 meters, the two world record holders of the United States, Kalevi Kotakas of Finland, and Yano of Japan also succeeded in one trial jump, while another American player Debsthurber completed this height in the second trial jump. Japanese players Hiroshi Tanaka and Asoyoro, as well as Germany's only solo shooter have been eliminated.

Seeing the only German player being eliminated, the high mood in the surrounding audience disappeared. Since there were no German athletes in the competition, the audience had completely become spectators.

Of course, more spectators still hope that Finnish Kalevi Kotakas will win. Kalevi Kotakas is a European athlete, and the relationship between Finland and Germany has always been very good. In the past, the two countries jointly deal with Tsarist Russia, but now they jointly deal with the Soviet Union, which is basically a relationship between allies.

More importantly, Kalevi Kotakas was a white athlete. In addition to him, only American athletes were Ross Thurber, who was a white man, and the rest were either black or yellow. In that Germany at that time, people of color were obviously not the best candidates for the championship.

After 1.97 meters, there are still six athletes left, including Chen Qiang.

The next height is 2 meters, and this height is also a new Olympic record.

The first one to appear was world record holder Dave Alblisso, who was fully capable of skipping this height, but the world record holder was not in good condition, and the first try jump ended in failure.

The second appearance was another world record holder, Gurney Johnson, who was in much better shape, passing at one time.

The third Japanese player Yano Kung-yu was already a bit difficult for him, so his first jump failed in the end.

The fourth person to appear is Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang still did not use arc running-up technique, and this time, he still did not choose the right time to jump. However, the goddess of luck no longer favored Chen Qiang, and the crossbar finally fell down, and Chen Qiang's first jump failed.

Jesse Owens on the sidelines showed a proud smile. Everything was the same as he judged. Chen Qiang's shortcomings of his back-to-the-Brief jumping method were indeed revealed at a height of 2 meters.

"It seems that Chen Qiang's high jump journey at the Olympics is about to stop at 2 meters!"

The next one to appear is American player Dros Thurber, whose best score in the United States is only 2 meters or 02 meters. Now the height of 2 meters is close to his limit, so his first jump failed.

The last Finnish player Kalevi Kotacas, who once jumped out of the European record of 2.04 meters abroad, but challenging the entire height of 2 meters was still a bit difficult for him. So his first jump failed.

The first trial jump of 2 meters ended, only the US world record holder Gowney Johnson advanced to the next height.

The second round began soon, and Dave Albriton, who was the first to play, still could not skip the height of 2 meters, but as a world record holder, 2 meters should not be able to defeat him.

Japanese player Yano Kungfu seemed to have reached his limit, and his second attempt failed to cross the 2-meter mark.

Next, it's Chen Qiang's turn to make his debut.

"If you don't use arc running-up technique, 2 meters is my limit." Chen Qiang sighed helplessly, and then he decided to use arc running-up technique.

The back-by-Winning high jump and arc running-up techniques are like soy milk with fried dough sticks. The two are perfect matches. From another perspective, the back-by-Winning high jump without arc running-up techniques is an incomplete back-by-Winning high jump.

Using arc running-up technique can generate a centrifugal force for the body, so that the body will tilt towards mutual trust after being provoked. The faster the running-up speed, the greater the inclination of the human body. This not only avoids the crossbar that is too early when jumping, but also naturally lowers the center of gravity of the body and increases the working distance when jumping.

In addition, due to the requirement of back crossing the rod, the body should be turned into a back-facing crossbar after jumping, and an arc assist was used. When jumping, the body had become a side-facing crossbar. The last step was about 20 degrees to 30 degrees with the crossbar to ensure that the human body had a suitable vertical displacement distance relative to the crossbar after it was flew. This was prepared for jumping, which was conducive to the body rotating around the longitudinal axis during jumping.

Third, when the arc run-up is taken off, there is a movement of the body from inward to vertical. The curvature of the arc changes from small to large, causing the body to gradually increase the inward inward. The reverse acceleration generated can increase the pressure of the support point and increase the jumping effect; the tangential acceleration (i.e. centrifugal acceleration) generated helps the movement towards the crossbar. This is also the main driving force for the body to turn from vertical to horizontal after the jump.

It can be said that arc running-up technique has a qualitative additive effect on the back-to-Britain high jump.

Since the arc running-up technique requires a running-up track with a "j" shape, Chen Qiang did not stand at the traditional running-up starting point after he stepped onto the arena.

The referee glanced at the position where Chen Qiang was standing and reminded: "Please be prepared."

"I'm ready." Chen Qiang said.

The referee was stunned and reminded: "Please stand in the run-assist position."

"I have already stood in the run-up position." Chen Qiang replied.

The referee was stunned again, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to stand in your current position to run?"

Chen Qiang nodded: "I'm sure, I don't think this is against the rules, right?"

"Okay, then please start the game." The referee shook his head and retreated.

...

Jesse Owens looked at Chen Qiang with a blank look on his face, and saw that Chen Qiang had already made a preparatory posture for running.

"What is he doing? Is he going to run at that position? Are he going to rush to the crossbar diagonally? How should he jump if he runs in an oblique direction?"

Jesse Owens repeatedly simulated the athlete's rushing towards the crossbar in an oblique direction. He could not understand how to jump with such an inclined body position.

At this time, Chen Qiang finally started. Unlike what Jesse Owens thought, Chen Qiang did not rush towards the crossbar in an oblique direction, but ran an arc.

"What kind of run-up is this? It turned out to be a line!" Jesse Owens widened his eyes.
Chapter completed!
