Chen Qiang seemed very excited, not only because he won the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint, but also because he finally reached the 10-second mark.

The 10 seconds of manual calculating are equivalent to the 10 seconds 24 electronic timing. Even if it is placed in later generations, this is a very fast result. The 100-meter sprint Olympic B-critics for the London Olympics in the future is 10 seconds 24. Even if it is placed in 2012, Chen Qiang has reached the minimum standard for participating in the Olympics.

"After practicing for so many years, I can finally meet the Olympic standards. If this were placed in later generations, I could meet the Olympic B-standard and be a top athlete in China." Chen Qiang said in his heart.

Chen Qiang felt that although his physical fitness was not as perverted as Jesse Owens, it was quite good. Even in later generations, there were very few Chinese athletes who could achieve the Olympic B-grade standards. It was even more difficult for Chen Qiang to achieve the same achievements in the 1930s. The nutritional level and training environment in the 1930s were not as good as the future. Thanks to Chen Qiang's training space, which allowed him to enjoy future training conditions, otherwise he would not have been able to develop such a great physical fitness.

Historically, Jesse Owens, who set the world record in 10 seconds 2, was set by Jesse Owens. He set this world record in 1936, and then the world record remained for 20 years and was not broken until 1956. This was mainly due to the outbreak of World War II, which caused most sports to stagnate, and the sports level around the world declined. It was not until the mid-1950s that it began to return to the level in front of the station.

In this regard, Jesse Owens was also quite unlucky. After becoming famous in the Berlin Olympics in history, he encountered World War II. Sports stagnated, and he, a legendary athlete, had no use and could only work as a gas station waiter and a playground gatekeeper. It was not until after World War II that he found a decent job as a vice president of the Black Baseball League. If it weren't for World War II, Jesse Owens would have made a lot of money by engaging in sports.

By 1956, American athlete Willie Williams raised the world record of 10-meter sprint to 10 seconds 1, and in 1960, Federal German athlete Amin Harry finally raised the 10-meter sprint to 10 seconds.

From 1960 to 1964, a total of five athletes had reached a 10-second run. In addition to Amin Harry of the Federal Republic of Germany, there were Harry Rosem of Canada, Horasio Esteves of Venezuela, Bob Hayes of the United States, and Chinese athlete Chen Jiaquan.

Therefore, Chen Qiang's 10-second world record was 24 years ahead of history.

...

After the final of the 100-meter sprint, Chen Qiang did not return to his residence in the Olympic Village immediately, but stayed to watch the pole vault competition. Because Chinese athlete Fu Baolu entered the pole vault final.

In addition to Chen Qiang, the athletes who did not have competition tasks in the Chinese team also came to the scene. They were originally here to cheer for Chen Qiang, but now Chen Qiang has won the gold, so they began to cheer for Fu Baolu.

Fu Baolu is from Northeast China, his father is Chinese, and his mother is Russian, so he is a mixed-race Chinese and Russian. He also has the handsome appearance of a mixed-race child. Simply put, he is very handsome! It is also for this reason that Fu Baolu became a movie star after returning to China.

Fu Baolu has participated in the Far East Games in Japan and the Philippines, the National Games in Hangzhou, Tianjin and Shanghai, and the North China Games in Jinan. He has known Chen Qiang for a long time.

In history, Fu Baolu successfully passed the preliminary round in the Berlin Olympics. However, due to insufficient preparation, the delegation did not even bring a bamboo pole for a pole vault. Before each competition, Fu Baolu nodded and bowed to borrow an old bamboo pole for training from a Japanese athlete. Because the Japanese athlete was not tall, the rod was only about 4.15 meters long. For Fu Baolu, this was a bit too short, which also affected Fu Baolu's performance in the pole final.

Chen Qiang remembered this incident, so before leaving, he reminded Fu Baolu to bring a bamboo pole to Berlin. Fu Baolu followed Chen Qiang's advice and brought two of his own bamboo poles, so he didn't have to borrow bamboo poles from Japanese athletes.

In the early pole vault competition in the morning, the threshold for promotion was 3.80 meters, and Fu Baolu successfully skipped this height. In the afternoon, Fu Baolu also successfully crossed 3.80 meters, and next he had to face the challenge of a height of 4 meters.

This time Fu Baolu used his own bamboo pole, so after failing to jump twice, he finally successfully crossed the height of 4 meters on the third time.

When Fu Baolu crossed the height of 4 meters, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

In history, Fu Baolu relied on a borrowed bamboo pole and stopped at 3.80 meters in the final of the pole vault, but failed to cross the 4-meter mark. Now Fu Baolu has successfully crossed 4 meters, which shows that Chen Qiang's intervention has still worked.

However, Chen Qiang knew that Fu Baolu's Olympic journey ended here.

The national record of pole vault in the Republic of China period was exactly 4 meters maintained by Fu Baolu. Now he has set his best results. The next height of 415 meters has exceeded Fu Baolu's ability limit.

Sure enough, at a height of 4.15 meters, Fu Baolu failed all three attempts, and he was unable to go further.

"4 meters is already very good, and it has already tied his own national record." Chen Qiang said softly.

Liu Changchun next to him said, "It's not easy for Fu Baolu. When the Japanese came, he had a quarrel with his family in order to withdraw from the pass."

Liu Changchun and Fu Baolu were both exiled students in Northeast China, and they were quite familiar with each other, so Liu Changchun knew Fu Baolu very well.

Liu Changchun continued, "Fu Baolu's mother is from the Soviet Union. You must know this. When the Japanese fought to the Northeast, his parents did not let him leave Harbin because they were Russian overseas Chinese. The Soviet Union still had interests in the Northeast. With the big tree of the Soviet Union, the Japanese did not dare to take Russian overseas Chinese. But Fu Baolu resolutely chose to come to Guannei, and for this he had a big fight with his parents, and then he ran away from home from Guannei. I once asked him why he did this. He told me that although he had Russian blood, he knew he was a Chinese!"

Chen Qiang nodded silently, but a tragic feeling emerged in his heart.

Chen Qiang knew that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Baolu joined the army and went to the United States to receive training as a P-39 fighter, becoming a pilot, and died for his country in 1943.

"Fu Baolu should be satisfied with the 4-meter score." Liu Changchun changed his voice and continued, "By the way, I just figured out how Jesse Owens lost to you."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Chen Qiang said.

"From the beginning of the game, you, Jesse Owens, were running side by side, and it was difficult to decide the winner, but before the finish line, you were 01 seconds ahead of Owens. Now, if you think about it carefully, it was not that you became faster, but that Owens became slower." Liu Changchun said.

"That's right." Chen Qiang nodded. "Even before the finish line, I was still maintaining my peak speed, but Owens couldn't do this."

"Is it because of 100 yards?" Liu Changchun continued to ask.

"What 100 yards?" Chen Qiang asked back.

"Jesse Owens is very good at running 100 yards. I remember he broke the world record of 100 yards. So when he was in the 100-meter event, he would be unable to match his strength in the end." Liu Changchun answered.

"Code" is a unit of length in the British and American system, so there are many competitions in the UK and the United States, and the events set are also based on "Code". At that time, the high school and university competitions in the United States were also events such as 100-code sprinting.

Even in the future, Britain and the United States will have many sports based on "codes". For example, rugby, the distance of one gear is 10 yards.

100 yards is equivalent to a distance of more than 91 meters. An athlete who runs 91 meters on weekdays asked him to run 100 meters. Although it was only 9 meters more, he was definitely not so easy, especially when he reached the last 10 meters, which was the most likely place to have problems.

So Liu Changchun felt that the reason why Jesse Owens slowed down in the end was because Jesse Owens participated in 100 yards in the United States, so he was not used to running 100 meters.

Chen Qiang nodded. He felt that what Liu Changchun said made some sense. During the competition just now, Chen Qiang didn't think so much, but simply felt that his technical flow would definitely be able to maintain speed more than Owens's body flow. Now it seems that Liu Changchun's analysis may be a reason.

Liu Changchun continued, "When I first practiced sprinting, I practiced 100 yards. Later, when I ran 100 meters, I was really uncomfortable, especially when I reached the last 10 meters, I always felt that I couldn't use my strength."

"I haven't run 100 yards." Chen Qiang continued, "But I know that in our early domestic sports competitions, sprinting were also 'code-based'."

In the first two national sports games in old China, since the organizer was a British missionary of the church, the sprinting event adopted a "code system". It was not until the third National Games that the Chinese Sports Association, as the organizer, began to use "metric system".

...

At the same time, the US team also began to summarize the 100-meter sprint final just now.

"Jesse, you have always been comparable to Chen Qiang in the whole game, but at the end, you lost." The head coach of the American track and field team said.

"When I ran to the end, I seemed to have slowed down, but I didn't know what was going on. I didn't relax at all, and I was always exerting my strength." Jesse Owens said.

"In other words, you can't keep your peak speed, but Chen Qiang can!" The head coach lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, and said, "I think I've found the problem."

"What? Where did I do not do it well enough?" Jesse Owens asked anxiously.

"This is not your problem, it is our problem." The head coach paused and continued, "To be precise, it is our American track and field problem."

"Coach, I don't understand." Jesse Owens said.

The head coach sighed and continued, "Our American track and field has always adopted a 'code system'. The competitions you participated in in high school and college are all 100 yards, right? 100 yards are 9 meters shorter than 100 meters. I think this is the root of the problem! Our American athletes are adapted to 100 yards, so when running 100 meters, some problems will eventually arise. This problem is not obvious in domestic competitions, but when you encounter a world record holder like Chen Qiang, the problem of our American team is magnified!"

"So that's how it is!" Jesse Owens nodded suddenly.

"We have lost to Chen Qiang for 100-meter sprint for two consecutive times. Our American team must face this problem. In the future, we must practice more 'meter' competitions so that our track and field will not be left behind by other countries!" The head coach paused and continued, "But what I am worried about now is tomorrow's 200-meter race, and 200 yards are shorter than 200 meters. Will our athletes be unable to succeed again..."

"Coach, don't worry." Jesse Owens said confidently. "In the United States, what I often practice is not 200 yards, but 220 yards, which is equivalent to 201 meters. So I have confidence in the 200-meter race!"

The coach nodded suddenly, "Yes, I almost forgot that you are the world record holder of 220 yards. If you run 200 meters, there will definitely be no problem!"

...

No words all night.

The next day, Chen Qiang came to the track and field. Today he will participate in the 200-meter preliminary and semi-finals, as well as the preliminaries and finals of the long jump.

The 200-meter preliminaries were divided into eight groups, and the first three groups advanced to the afternoon rematch. The contestants sent by various countries were basically the group of people participating in the 100-meter competition, and Chen Qiang met many familiar faces.

As the world's number one sports power, the United States, in addition to sending Jesse Owens to the 200m event, the other two are both new.

Two other players in the United States, one is Bob Packard and the other is Mike Robinson.

Bob Packard is a 20-year-old young player. He was very famous in high school and led Rockford High School to win the national championship in the United States twice. He is good at 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump, but due to the fierce competition in the United States for 100 meters and long jump, he can only get an Olympic spot in the 200 meters event.

Mike Robinson is 22 years old and has a very famous younger brother named Jack Robinson. Jack Robinson is the first black athlete in history in Major League Baseball and has won the major league championship for the Dodgers. In the future, he will also enter the Major League Hall of Fame. His "42" jersey has also retired from all major league teams, and even Jordan has not won such an honor.

...

Chen Qiang was assigned to the fifth group, and his appearance would be relatively backward, so he simply began to observe the situation of other athletes.

In the first group, the first place was won by the Dutch player, with a score of 21.4 seconds, and the third place was a Japanese athlete, with a score of 22.2 seconds.

After seeing this result, Chen Qiang judged that the athletes participating in the 200m class are much stronger than the ones four years ago, and Liu Changchun and Cheng Jinguan are probably unable to advance to the rematch again.

At the last Los Angeles Olympics, those who ran within 22 seconds in the preliminary round were all scored such as 21.9 seconds. Now the Dutch ran 21.4 seconds, which is obviously a big step forward in improving the results.

Moreover, there were 22 seconds 9 or 23 seconds 1 promotions in the Los Angeles Olympics. If you run 22 seconds 2, you are likely to win the first place in the group, and at least second place in the group. But today, 22 seconds 2 can only be third in the group. This means that the threshold for promotion has also been raised.

Chen Qiang was not surprised that athletes' performance improved. Competitive sports are originally higher, faster and stronger. Athletes' performance will only get better and better, and world records are constantly being broken. Therefore, the athletes' level in the Berlin Olympics should be better than that in the Los Angeles Olympics.

In the next second group, the "fastest white man in the world" Tinus Orsendap, who ran a 21.7 second time, advanced in the group first, and the third place in this group was 22.1 seconds, and the promotion threshold was 01 seconds higher than the first group.

In the third group, Jesse Owens ran directly with a 21-second 1-second run, and the difference was 01-second to tie Chen Qiang's world record.

In the fourth group, the threshold for promotion is 22.4 seconds. Cheng Jinguan appeared in this group and finally got only one fifth place.

In the fifth group, it is Chen Qiang's turn to appear.

There is no master in this group. Apart from Chen Qiang, the strongest one is a Swiss athlete named Paul Enni. He won the 200-meter European championship and in 1934, he once ran the 200-meter European record of 21 seconds 2.

However, in the preliminary round, the experts were reserved, so Paul Ennie did not fight Chen Qiang desperately, but ran for 21.9 seconds and advanced to the second place in the group. Chen Qiang obtained the qualification to qualify for the top spot in the group with 21.5 seconds.

In the sixth group, Liu Changchun appeared, but he was unable to create a miracle. He finally finished the game with fifth place in the group and failed to advance to the rematch.

In the subsequent seventh and eighth groups, the other two American athletes appeared one after another, and they both advanced to the top in the group. Bob Packard ran a good result of 21 seconds 2, while Mike Robinson's score was 21 seconds 6.

After the 200-meter preliminary round, Chen Qiang came to the sand pool again to participate in the long jump preliminary round. Jesse Owens also came with him, and he also signed up for the long jump event.

Chen Qiang didn't know the other two people in the United States, but one of them came over to say hello to Chen Qiang. His name was John Brooks, who was once a student at the University of Chicago. Four years ago, when Chen Qiang went to the University of Chicago to give a speech on "Sub-Health", John Brooks had met Chen Qiang.

Another American player named Bob Clark. In addition to signing for the long jump, he also signed up for the decathlon. In history, he won the silver medal in the decathlon event at the Berlin Olympics.

There are 43 players participating in the long jump competition in the Berlin Olympics, so a preliminary round must be held first. Each person has three chances of jumping in the preliminary round. The standard for promotion is 7.15 meters. As long as you can jump over, you can advance to the afternoon final.

Of course, Chen Qiang passed by at one time at a distance of 7.15 meters, so he was too lazy to jump to jump twice.

In addition to Chen Qiang, the Chinese team also sent Hao Chunde and Situ Guang to participate in the long jump competition.

Neither of these two people entered the long jump final in history, but Chen Qiang's time travel changed history. After the North China Games in Jinan ended, Hao Chunde and Situ Guang went to Tianjin specifically to find Chen Qiang to learn the skills of standing up and fleeing. Chen Qiang was not stingy and taught them the stand up and fleeing. It was also for this reason that Hao Chunde and Situ Guang's strength increased greatly, and they skipped the 7-meter mark two years ago.

In the end, Hao Chunde successfully skipped 7.15 meters and advanced to the finals. At that time, Situ Guang was unlucky and only succeeded once in three attempts, but failed to advance. In this way, Chen Qiang would not have to fight alone in the afternoon finals, at least Hao Chunde was as his teammate.

In the afternoon, the first thing to start was the 200-meter rematch.

There are four groups in the rematch, and they are also the top three in the group to advance, and Chen Qiang was assigned to the second group.

In the first group, Canadian player Lee Orr ran 21 seconds, Swiss player Paul Ennie and American player Bob Packard both ran 21 seconds, 3 seconds.

Seeing this result, Chen Qiang couldn't help but be shocked. You should know that in the final of the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, except for Chen Qiang and Eddie Tolan, the other four players had only 21 seconds 4, 21 seconds 5 and 21 seconds 6. Now this is just a group in the rematch, and the results of qualifying have surpassed the bronze medal winners of the Los Angeles Olympics.

In the second group where Chen Qiang is in, the players are not as strong as that. There is a German athlete in this group, so except for Chen Qiang, no one else is strong, which is equivalent to creating a more relaxed promotion environment for the German athlete.

In the end, Chen Qiang advanced to the 200m semi-finals with a time of 21.4 seconds.

In the third group, Jesse Owens ran another 21.1 seconds, while in the fourth group, American player Mike Robinson won the first place in the group with 21.2 seconds, and the "fastest white man" Tinus Orsendap ran 21.3 seconds and followed closely behind.

Including Chen Qiang's words, among the twelve players who advanced, seven of them could run to 21.3 seconds. Tomorrow's semi-finals will inevitably be a fierce battle of fighting each other.

However, Chen Qiang's mind is not on tomorrow's 200m semi-finals, he is now preparing for the long jump final.

In the next long jump final, Chen Qiang, as the defending champion, has to face the challenge of Jesse Owens.

However, in May, the world record of long jump maintained by Chen Qiang had been broken by Jesse Owens. Therefore, as the world record holder, Jesse Owens also had to face Chen Qiang's challenge.

In yesterday's 100-meter sprint event, Jesse Owens lost to Chen Qiang, and today's long jump is a better event that Jesse Owens is better at. He will never allow himself to lose to Chen Qiang again.

The second round of the two is about to begin!
Chapter completed!
