"Onyourmarks~"

I don’t know how many times I have heard the command of “get on your feet” sounded, reaching the ears from the small speakers in front of the players. Wu Ziyi moved his neck slightly and walked forward slowly.

When he entered the stadium, he saw many five-star red flags waving in the Letzgrund Stadium. In addition to overseas Chinese or students working in Europe, there were also domestic fans who had traveled thousands of miles to cheer for Wu Ziyi and Gong Lijiao.

In addition, there are also a large number of young foreign men and women holding support flags or signs with the word "UZI" in their hands to cheer for Wu Ziyi. After being crowned queen in London, Wu Ziyi gained a lot of popularity abroad.

supporter.

The only yellow athlete to break through the 9.90/9.80 mark, wearing a striking red jersey, is so eye-catching among the black and white team.

The tiger's mouth was open, and he pressed firmly on the runway, lowering his head, waiting for the sound of the gunshot.

(Yang Jian): "This year's world best time is 9.75 seconds run by Wu Ziyi in Monaco. It was run under a tailwind of 0.9 meters per second. There is almost no wind in Zurich today. I don't know if Wu Ziyi has any time today.

There is no ability to approach or surpass this achievement..."

"Set——"

"boom--!!"

The starting gun sounds!

At this moment, the runners kicked off the starting blocks one after another and quickly swung their arms to connect. It was extremely difficult to tell who had the upper hand.

Before Usain Bolt was born, there were two athletes whose future abilities were praised by the world - Maurice Green and Asafa Powell, especially Powell who was dubbed the "grandfather of explosive starts"

title.

It is generally believed that a height of about 1.78-1.88 meters is the most suitable for the 100-meter event, while Powell's height was just stuck at the limit of 1.88 meters, until a super-large athlete of 1.96 meters emerged.

——Usain Bolt.

Because people did not have a sufficient grasp of the basic knowledge of track and field at the time, especially when Bolt often teleported from behind, many track and field enthusiasts ignored his world-class forward ability for quite some time.

Wu Ziyi is also such a "misunderstood" athlete. Although his performance in the 2014 and 2015 seasons was indeed a bit underwhelming, including in the 2016 season when he competed with Su Bingtian, Brommel, Powell and others, his future was also in doubt.

It often seems not fast enough, but this year it is completely different.

In the past, the most fundamental reason why Wu Ziyi's future performance was "weak" was the lack of core strength, coupled with his relatively long stride. Under the training of Randy and Ralphman, Wu Ziyi's 100-meter step

The number has changed from 42.5 (±0.5) steps in 2014 to 43.5 (±0.25) steps today.

The number of steps of 43.5 is actually still a long stride, but shortening the stride length must bring about an increase in step frequency. Coupled with the improvement of core strength and technical improvements, Wu Ziyi can improve from 9 seconds 83 in 2016 to this year.

9 seconds 75.

Just like the format on the field:

Around the ten-meter line, other players had already taken the eighth step, and Wu Ziyi had just taken the seventh step. Although it seemed that Wu Ziyi was one step behind, his stride was dominant and he was not actually behind in position.

After passing the immersed acceleration stage, at the 30-meter mark, Powell, Gatlin, Uja and Wu Ziyi were in the leading position, but the gap between the players was not big. The one who fell behind the most was Adam in lane 1.

Gimili, he was now nearly half a length ahead of Powell who was in lane 2.

Continuing to accelerate, everyone on the field has just entered the high-speed stage and is still some distance away from the top speed state.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters, they came to the dividing line between the front and rear. Wu Ziyi's speed had increased to an extremely high level and was about to enter a state of extreme speed.

At this time, the situation on the field became more and more obvious:

Wu Ziyi was already in the lead, and his speed ability was enough to rank among the top four in the human race. He was instantly ahead of Gatlin and the other three by more than half a body length at the 40- to 60-meter stage.

Adam Gimili and Sibini are also further behind than when they were 30 meters away. Although Powell is lagging behind Wu Ziyi at this time, Gatlin and Uja are still going hand in hand. If they can keep up, they can always get a good result.

Ranking.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Letzgrund Stadium became more and more lively. From the starting gun, many spectators began to shout Wu Ziyi's name. Six seconds later, this voice has become stronger and stronger.

The stadium seemed to have become Wu Ziyi's home court.

The cheers were so enthusiastic, how could the players in the field not hear it?

Gatlin: Looking down on me? Grandma, speed up!

Uja: No one cheers for me? Grandma speeds up!

Ronnie Baker: No one notices me? Grandma speeds up!

Powell: It’s broken, it’s been passed, I won’t play anymore!

"The race begins! Powell starts very quickly, and in the first thirty meters, Powell is in the lead!"

"Entering the mid-run, Wu Ziyi started to exert force and gradually took the lead!"

"Gatlin and Uja were chasing behind, Powell, Powell gave up again, Wu Ziyi was definitely in the lead!"

"The final sprint! The line! Wu Ziyi - 9.77 seconds! Wu Ziyi once again ran into 9.8 seconds. Congratulations to Wu Ziyi for winning the men's 100-meter championship in the 2017 Diamond League!"

There was no suspense at all. From the 30-meter mark, Wu Ziyi, Gatlin and others were running parallel to each other, so there was no suspense about the outcome of this game.

The reporters took notice, but this time they didn't have to chase after Wu Ziyi. After Wu Ziyi crossed the finish line, he gradually slowed down and turned around to shake hands and hug the other athletes.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the stadium. Ronnie Baker, who was waiting for the results, reminded Wu Ziyi. Wu Ziyi turned and looked at the big screen. The final verified results of the players had been released:

Wind speed: (0.0m/s)

Yang Jian: "Congratulations to Wu Ziyi! 9 seconds 75. This shot was very good. It not only tied his own world best time of the season set in Monaco, but also broke the 9 seconds set by Yohan Blake in 2012."

76 game record!”

Gatlin walked up to Wu Ziyi and stretched out his hand to shake hands and hug Wu Ziyi: "Nice shot, I really can't beat you, but I won't give up. I will keep persisting on the track until I can't run anymore."

That day. But you must protect your body from injury and never lose to me one day!"

Wu Ziyi smiled: "I will, see you next year!"

...

The men's 100 meters is the last competition tonight. As Wu Ziyi crossed the finish line first, the 16 players who won the diamond award tonight were also announced.

At this time, it started to rain lightly again in Zurich. Wu Ziyi went to the sidelines and took a down jacket from Li Wen, and then walked back to the venue to prepare for the Diamond Award presentation ceremony.

16 players stood in the center of the stadium, flanked by Swiss ceremonial soldiers playing orchestral music. Gong Lijiao made the [666] gesture to the camera, which has become one of her trademarks

Amid passionate orchestral music, 16 athletes received their diamond trophies from IAAF President Sebastian Coe.

Some athletes burst into tears, while others looked normal. They were the darlings of the track and field. They risked the best years of their youth on the track and field, allowing people to see the tenacity and high spirit of human beings again and again.

After Gong Lijiao got her own diamond trophy, she hugged Wu Ziyi and cried. As a teammate of the track and field team, although the events were different, Wu Ziyi knew how she had survived in the past few years.
