Twenty meters, which is only the beginning stage of the competition, Chen Qiang has taken the lead.

Ryude Yoshioka also watched Chen Qiang's game yesterday, and it was not surprising that Chen Qiang was able to lead in the initial stage.

Although the starting skills of this era are very backward, there are still some athletes who are particularly good at starting. The explosive power of these athletes is very excellent. Their starting reaction is that they are faster than others, and the acceleration in the first twenty meters is faster than others.

However, good explosive power does not mean faster, nor does it mean that this explosive power can be continued later. Without speed and endurance, the little lead obtained in the initial stage will soon disappear.

Yoshioka Ryude didn't know what "speed endurance" was, but he was confident that he would catch up with Chen Qiang and then surpass him.

All athletes want to win, and so does Takato Yoshioka, let alone his home court. The surrounding audiences are filled with Japanese people cheering for him. In his hometown and in front of his compatriots, he wants to win this game.

Unlike Yoshioka Ryude, Steve finally saw clearly how Chen Qiang surpassed him.

In yesterday's preliminary round, Steve only focused on competing with James and did not pay attention to Chen Qiang, so when Steve's attention returned to the track, Chen Qiang was already ahead. As for how Chen Qiang led, Steve didn't pay any attention. Then Steve chased all the way, but in the end he still didn't catch up and lost the game.

In that game, Steve felt that he lost a lot because he didn't even know how he lost.

In today's final, Steve was observing Chen Qiang, and then he saw Chen Qiang's unique starting posture, and also saw Chen Qiang taking the lead in the initial stage.

"It turned out to be the start. He led the way in yesterday's preliminary competition. I didn't surpass him yesterday, and I must surpass you today!" Steve made up his mind and the force on his footsteps became even stronger.

...

Although Chen Qiang was ahead, he could sense that Yoshioka Ryude was chasing him tightly. Chen Qiang even had an illusion, as if in the next second, Yoshioka Ryude would catch up with him.

"It is worthy of being the number one person in Asia's sprinters in the 1930s!" Chen Qiang said in his heart. He knew that Yoshioka Ryude had not caught up with him, but the oppression brought by Yoshioka Ryude made him feel inexplicable pressure. Chen Qiang even had an illusion that it seemed that he was behind him, but Yoshioka Ryude was leading.

Yoshioka Tokura is not tall, only about 165 cm. Of course, in Japan of this era, this is also a normal height.

This height determines that Takatoshi Yoshioka is the type of athlete with a high burst fast stride frequency. Athletes with a fast stride frequency often use more aggressive running methods. On the contrary, many tall sprinters do not have strong running methods, and they look like they are accumulating strength to hold their ultimate moves, and after the charging is over, they will defeat the enemy with one blow.

For example, Bolt, a big man of 1.95 meters, doesn't have the oppressiveness and eagerness to watch him run the game. Instead, the overall running process is very smooth, and it seems natural every time you pass the finish line.

"The Ryude Yoshioka is indeed an aggressive running method." When Chen Qiang saw Ryude Yoshioka's height, he had already guessed his running method. Chen Qiang even knew that in the face of such a highly aggressive opponent, he must not be disturbed by him.

Every sprinter has his own rhythm, and the thigh forward swing technique used by Chen Qiang needs to have a sense of rhythm.

When using the thigh forward swing technique, once the running rhythm is confused, the stride and pace frequency of the forward swing, and the lifting of the support foot will be affected. The delay in retraction of a support foot will cause a speed loss of 0.1 seconds. In a 100-meter sprint, each 0.1 second is an insurmountable gap.

As the competition reached a position of 40 meters, Chen Qiang gradually entered his own rhythm.

With two techniques that surpass the times, rear pedal and forward swing, once Chen Qiang enters his own rhythm, the game will be almost certain.

Unfortunately, Ryude Yoshioka, who was chasing behind, didn't know these, and the Filipino player Steve didn't know these. They were still trying hard to catch up, trying to reach the first place.

At sixty meters, Chen Qiang was still in the first place, while Ryude Yoshioka and Steve were comparable. In this high-speed movement, it was difficult to tell which of them was faster with the naked eye.

At this moment, Steve began to get impatient.

"The Japanese around me can actually keep up with me. Since the beginning of the competition, I have run more than half of it. I haven't thrown him away yet. What's more important is that there is a Chinese in front of me, and I can't even surpass him!"

Everything that happened in front of him was beyond Steve's perception.

As a white man who came to Asia from the United States, Steve has a congenital advantage in sports. In Steve's eyes, those native Filipinos are even weaklings who are completely unsports-friendly.

The sense of superiority that whites are common makes Steve look down on Asians or the sports level of Asian athletes. In Steve's thinking, Chinese are all sick people with yellow faces, thin skin and ragged clothes, while Japanese are all thin dwarfs. How fast can they run?

At that time, Americans' thinking was similar to Steve. In terms of cognizing the world, Americans have always been somewhat anti-intellectual. A fictional "Mandarin" scared the American people for decades. The US president angrily criticized North Korea for decades, but most Americans could not find North Korea's location on the world map.

Steve originally thought that he could always lead the way after starting and leave Asian athletes far behind. Even if he was a little behind at the beginning, he only needed a little force to get ahead.

But reality is completely different from what Steve expected!

He fell behind and lost to a Chinese, and the little Japanese dwarf around him was also trying to surpass him.

The natural sense of superiority of white people was like a needle at this moment, deeply stinging Steve's heart. The Asian athletes he looked down upon were one running side by side with him, while the other was running in front of him.

This sense of gap made Steve even more impatient. He wanted to speed up, to get rid of Yoshioka Ryude, and to surpass Chen Qiang in front, but the more he exerted his strength, the more panicked the rhythm under his feet.

Because of impatience and forced speeding up, it brought the opposite effect. Instead of increasing the speed, Steve's speed began to lag behind.

In the 100-meter sprint race, the athletes' rhythm is messy and it is difficult to find them back.

Seventy meters, Yoshioka Rund surpassed Steve, and at this moment, Steve also withdrew from the ranks of the championship.

Only Chen Qiang and Yoshioka Ryude were left to compete for the final championship.
