Chen Qiang stood there, gasping heavily. This game caused him to consume too much physical energy, and his body had reached its limit.

For most humans, their physiological limits cannot complete 200 meters of anaerobic exercise, while professional athletes can extend the distance of anaerobic exercise to more than 200 meters after training. However, even professional athletes who have been professional trained must continue to perform 200 meters of anaerobic exercise at the limit speed, which is a major test of physical fitness.

Chen Qiang did not use all his strength in yesterday's 200m preliminary and semi-finals, and this morning's 200m semi-finals, so his physical energy consumption would be much smaller. However, in today's final, Chen Qiang is exerting his full strength, which has increased his physical energy consumption exponentially. With his current physical fitness, he cannot participate in other competitions today.

"I even felt tired when I ran down 200 meters this time. Fortunately, 200 meters is the last event today. If there is a competition in the future, I may really have to abstain." Chen Qiang said in his heart.

At this moment, the referee also announced Chen Qiang's results:

"20 seconds 5!"

Even though many people had expected that Chen Qiang broke the 200-meter world record, they still made that surprised sound.

"World record, Chen Qiang broke the world record!"

"The jump was 2 meters 17, 10 seconds, 100 meters in 10 seconds, 8 meters 17, and 20 seconds 5, Chen Qiang has broken the world record of five events, right?"

"In the last Olympics, Chen Qiang also broke five world records. Unexpectedly, he did it again in this Olympics."

"The world's number one athlete is indeed well-deserved! I thought he could achieve good results in the last Olympics, but he was just lucky. Now it seems that he really has strength!"

Four years ago, Americans performed various surprises at the Los Angeles Olympics, and four years later, German spectators appeared.

The referee also announced the next few results, with the second place being Jesse Owens, his score of 20 seconds 6, and the third place being another American athlete, Mike Robinson, his score of 21 seconds 1.

Jesse Owens shook his head helplessly. He missed the Olympic gold medal again, and was only 0.1 second slower than Chen Qiang, which seemed a pity.

However, Jesse Owens knew that at this level, 0.1 second was really a big gap, and he could even be considered an athlete of two levels.

In normal training, Jesse Owens also ran 20.5 seconds, but the number of times was only a handful. At the same time, Jesse Owens also knew that 20.5 seconds in the game was completely different from 20.5 seconds in practice.

If you run for 20 seconds 5 in practice, you will basically not be able to run the same result in the competition. If you run for 20 seconds 5 in the competition, it often means that the results in practice will be faster.

Moreover, in competitive sports and competitions, performance is also very important. If the two are of the same level, the opponent can perform better than you, which is also a manifestation of strength.

"Chen Qiang is really better than me!" Jesse Owens took a deep breath.

In the 100m final, Jesse Owens lost to Chen Qiang, but that failure further aroused Jesse Owens' fighting spirit. He was more eager to defeat Chen Qiang in the long jump and 200m to find the field.

The subsequent long jump was a better event for Jesse Owens, but he still lost to Chen Qiang. What he lost was not only a champion, but also the world record for long jump. The front-flip flip shown by Chen Qiang at that time made Jesse Owens feel that Chen Qiang's understanding of long jump is far better than himself, and he lost is really convinced.

However, Jesse Owens blamed Chen Qiang's long jump failure because of his too imaginative long jump technique. The reason why he lost to Chen Qiang was not that his strength was not as good as Chen Qiang, but that Chen Qiang's front-flip flip was too amazing and too outrageous. So Jesse Owens felt that he lost to the new technology, not to Chen Qiang.

Now in the 200m final, Jesse Owens lost again. This time he is still the 200m running that he is best at, and Chen Qiang did not show any amazing skills like the front flip-flop airplane.

At this moment, Jesse Owens finally realized that Chen Qiang's strength was really higher.

At this time, Jesse Owens was not unwilling or disappointed, but instead had a relieved expression. He ran for 20 seconds and was already the best. He had improved the world record of 21 seconds by 0.4 seconds. Since the "best self" still lost the game, there was no regret.

Jesse Owens walked up to Chen Qiang and greeted Chen Qiang in a friendly manner.

Chen Qiang is also willing to talk to the greatest athlete of the 20th century. Although they were opponents before, now Jesse Owens's game has ended, and the two will not fight again. At this time, the two are more like friends who appreciate each other.

The two chatted for a few moments, and Jesse Owens suddenly asked, "Chen, the Olympic Village will hold a banquet tomorrow night, you should come?"

Chen Qiang thought for a while, then nodded: "I will go. Speaking of which, since the competition started, I have not participated in the Olympic dance. I have participated in too many competition events, so I go back early every day and go to bed to rest. Tomorrow, all my competition events will be over and I have time to play."

"You are going to participate in the semi-finals of the 110-meter hurdles tomorrow?" Jesse Owens continued.

Chen Qiang answered: "That's right, in addition to the 110-meter hurdles, there is also a triple-level long jump."

"Forrest Downs, you should be careful of Forrest Downs, who was originally a high jumper and received a state scholarship. He only started practicing hurdles in 1934. However, he is a genius. He has run the world record of 110 m hurdles five times this year. Although only one of them is recognized by the IAAF, and none of the other four are recognized by the IAAF." Jesse Owens introduced.

"Who is better if he compares with you?" Chen Qiang continued.

"If it's a 220-yard low barrier, I'm better than him, but he's much better than me at 110 meters high barrier." Jesse Owens paused and continued. "Downs was in very good shape when we trained in Team USA. I think if you want to beat him, you have to run for 14 seconds!"

"14 seconds? The world record is only 14 seconds. Is it? I have to break the world record to beat him!" Chen Qiang said.

"Yes, the world record of 110 m hurdles is 14 seconds 1, and the world record holder is Towns himself, but as far as I know, his strength is definitely more than that. In normal practice, it is not difficult for him to run into 14 seconds." Jesse Owens said: "Actually, the 14 seconds I mentioned is a relatively conservative estimate. I don't know how fast that guy Towns can run. But I'm bluntly speaking, I really don't like you in tomorrow's game. I think Towns's chances of winning the championship are higher. It's not because we are both Americans, but because that guy is really good in the 110 m hurdles!"

"I understand, thank you for your reminder." Chen Qiang said.

...

After saying goodbye to Jesse Owens, Chen Qiang accepted the reception from the German head of state as usual, and then took a car to return to the Olympic Village.

Sitting in the car, Chen Qiang's face looked a little solemn, mainly because he knew that in tomorrow's game, he would face several world record holders.

In the 110-meter hurdles event, Chen Qiang certainly knew that world record holder Forrest Downs. He was the world record holder of 110-meter hurdles. He only started practicing hurdles in 1934, but in 1936, he could break the world record. Two years broke the world record, which shows that he was indeed a real genius. Moreover, from 1935 to 1937, Forrest Downs set an amazing record of unbeaten 60 games.

The current world record for 110-meter hurdles is 14 seconds 1. In 1936, Forrest Downs ran 14 seconds 1 five times, but either because the equipment is not standard, because of the super wind speed, or because of the insufficient level of the race, the five times are 14 seconds 1, and only once was recognized, which is the world record for 110-meter hurdles.

At the Berlin Olympics, Forrest Downs will run 14 seconds again in the semi-finals, drawing his own world record, and he will also win the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the Berlin Olympics.

The 110-meter hurdles final of the Berlin Olympics was held on August 6. 21 days later, on the 8th and 27th, Forrest Downs ran another 13.7 seconds in a Norway game, setting a new world record again. This is the first human being to run within 14 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles event, and this 13.7 second world record was not broken until 14 years later.

In just 21 days, it is impossible to improve the 110-meter hurdles from 14 seconds 1 to 13 seconds 7. It is obvious that during the Berlin Olympics, Forrest Downs had the strength of 13 seconds 7, but he did not play 100% in the Olympics.

As the world record holder of the 110-meter hurdles, it is normal for Forrest Downs to retain it. He was originally the world number one in this event. As long as he can win the gold medal, there is no need to fight desperately. Anyway, whether to fight or not, the world record is his own.

The reason why Forrest Downs doesn't fight is because his opponent is too weak and there is no need, but if he meets a strong opponent, he will threaten his gold medal or even threaten his world record, then Forrest Downs will definitely fight to the death. The Olympic gold medal and the title of world record holder cannot be given up!

So once Forrest Downs discovers that Chen Qiang is very strong, he will definitely try his best and even advance the 13.7 world record 21 days later to today.

And these are things that Chen Qiang had long thought of. Although the world record is 14 seconds 1, Forrest Downs now has the strength of 13 seconds 7. That is to say, if Chen Qiang wants to win the gold medal in 110 meters hurdles, he must run a 13 seconds 6, or a faster time.

When talking to Jesse Owens, the information revealed in Jesse Owens' words also allowed Chen Qiang to confirm his guess. Forrest Towns now has long been able to run within 14 seconds. The reason why he has not run within 14 seconds is because his opponent is not strong enough and cannot threaten his position as the holder of the world record.

In terms of talent, Chen Qiang feels that he is definitely not as good as Forrest Downs. He can break the world record after practicing for two years, but Chen Qiang can't do it with this. Moreover, Chen Qiang estimates that those 110-meter hurdles in later generations cannot break the world record after practicing for two years.

Since his talent is not as good as others, Chen Qiang can only rely on technology. After all, 110-meter hurdles are a sport that looks very skilled. Moreover, due to Liu Xiang, China's 110-meter hurdles are still a bit useful in the future. Therefore, Chen Qiang's technology on the 110-meter hurdles and his understanding of the 110-meter hurdles are better than other events.

Fortunately, in the 110-meter hurdles, other players except Forrest Downs were not very outrageous.

Another player of the US team is Fritz Pollard. His personal best score is 14 seconds 2, only 0.1 second away from the world record. He came from a sports family, his father was a football player, and he was also proficient in track and field, football and boxing. In the future, he became a politician and a senior official of the US State Department.

The third person in the United States is Roy Staley. In 1935, he broke the world record of 120 yards with a time of 14 seconds 2.

The 120-yard high yard and the 110-meter hurdle can actually be regarded as a project. The hurdling movement first appeared in the UK. At that time, it was 100 yards, which is 91.4 meters. Later, the University of Cambridge and Oxford used 120 yards. Then the French adopted the metric 110-meter hurdles, so the project became a 110-meter hurdle.

In the 110-meter hurdle movement, many data are transformed from the "code system". For example, the distance from the start to the first hurdle is 13 meters and 73, which is equivalent to 15 yards, and the spacing between the hurdles is 9.14 meters, which is equivalent to 10 yards.

The only difference between a 120-yard high barrier and a 110-meter hurdle is perhaps the distance is different. 120-yard is equivalent to 109 meters, which is one meter shorter than 110 meters. So Roy Staley ran 14 seconds 2 in the 120-yard high barrier event, which can also be regarded as he ran 14 seconds 2 in the 110-meter hurdle event, and it is only 0.1 second behind the world record.

In addition to Americans, the UK, as the birthplace of hurdling sports, also has strong strength.

The British "hurdler No. 1" is named Don Finley. He won the bronze medal of 110m hurdles at the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago. In the future, he also participated in the 1948 London Olympics. In addition to the hurdler, Don Finley is also a decathlon athlete. He can be regarded as the leader of the British decathlon in that era, but he did not participate in the decathlon competitions of the Olympics.

Fritz Pollard, Roy Staley and Don Finley are both excellent 110-meter hurdles athletes, but compared with Forrest Downs, a 110-meter hurdle genius. Chen Qiang’s goal is to defeat Forrest Downs, so other athletes are not within Chen Qiang’s field of vision.

The 110-meter hurdle is just Chen Qiang’s first level tomorrow. In addition to the 110-meter hurdle, Chen Qiang also has to participate in the triple-level long jump competition.

In the triple-level long jump event, Chen Qiang has to face two world record holders.

One is Australian player Jack Metcalf. He is the same surname as Ralph Metcalf, the black American athlete in the 100m, but Jack Metcalf is a genuine white man.

During the Los Angeles Olympics, Chen Qiang defeated Nanbu Zhongping in the triple jump event and set a world record for triple jump with a time of 15.76 seconds. In 1935, Jack Metcalf jumped 15.78 meters, breaking Chen Qiang's world record, and Chen Qiang had read this news in the newspaper at that time.

In addition to Jack Metcalf, another world record holder in the triple jump is Japanese player Naoto Tashima.

At the Berlin Olympics, Naoto Tashima jumped 16 meters, not only breaking the world record, but also defending the glory of the Japanese in the long jump event again!

Thinking about tomorrow's schedule, Chen Qiang couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Today's pressure is already great. To fight three world record holders alone tomorrow, it's no less difficult than today! It's a real headache..."
