    At 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. on August 27 in China, many spectators who watched today's Olympic highlights have already set an alarm clock and fell asleep early.

    Especially because today is Friday, the previous games were all in the middle of the night, and many office workers were not unable to watch the game all night, and today just happened to catch up with one of the most intense competitions. Therefore, many people also bought a lot of drinks, melon seeds, etc., calling friends and friends, and taking their place in tonight's game.

    In the streets and alleys of various cities, many barbecue stall owners are also keenly aware of the business opportunities tonight. The largest one, constantly attracting pedestrians.

    …

      Contest.

    Because the relay race is a team race, the competition is higher than that of an individual race. The enthusiasm of the racers was completely ignited.

    The International Olympic Committee stipulates that from January 2003 to August 9, 2004, the relay teams from 16 countries and regions with the best performance in the world will participate in the Olympic relay. will be invited to participate.

    The competition is divided into two rounds, the first round is the preliminaries and the second round is the finals.

    The sixteen relay teams were divided into two groups for the preliminaries, the top three in each group advanced directly, and the remaining two relay teams with the best scores made up, and a total of eight teams went to the finals .

    The preliminaries of the first group started at 8:10, Athens time, and the preliminaries of the second group started at 9:00.

    In the runway of the Olympic Stadium, as the first group of preliminaries, which will be the main event at the beginning of tonight, it is already highly anticipated.

    The eight teams in Group 1 are Poland, Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago, China, Germany, Australia, Canada and Russia.

    "...Ok spectators, the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay will be held soon, which is also a very beautiful relay competition, with relays from 16 countries in the world. The team, especially the first Chinese men's relay team to participate, this is the first round of the first group relay race that will start soon..."

    At 1:00 am Beijing time, the picture in the CCTV Channel 5 has been switched to the open Olympic Stadium. Almost half of the stadium in the far lens of the picture is included. The seats of 70,000 people are full. When the TV is turned on, the atmosphere of the scene will come directly.

    Below the TV screen, a floating frame of the world record marked by the five Olympic rings and the Olympic record appeared. The world record and the Olympic record were all set by Carl Lewis, Michael Marsh, Dennis Mitchell and Roy · Burrell's American relay team created 37.40 seconds at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. This record has been maintained for twelve years now, and there is no sign of being surpassed.

    "The first line is Poland, the second line is Nigeria, the third line is Trinidad and Tobago, the fourth line is China, the fifth line is Germany, and the sixth line is Russia. , the seventh Australian team, the eighth Canadian team."

    The camera in the screen is pulled in from a distance, from overlooking the entire Olympic Stadium, gradually to the top of the curve of the runway. At the same time, along with the voice of Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, the floating frame of the Olympic relay record disappeared, and the eight-pass team with the national flag as the first column appeared.

    “…The Nigerian team is in the second lane, his first rod is Olusos Fazawa, a young athlete born in 1984 who has a quick start response. Second The stick is Herna Emedoru, the third Alan Egbury, the fourth is Taxi Alley. The third, Trinidad and Tobago's first is Nacon Alexander, Also an athlete with a quick start…”

    The audience in front of the TV moved with the camera and Yang Jian's introduction and began to focus on the relay race of this group. Finally, after the third pass, the camera turned to wearing In front of a Chinese athlete in a red sprint suit.

    "The fourth line, the Chinese team." When Yang Jian introduced it, he raised his tone almost unconsciously, and an indescribable sense of pride seemed to gushed out.

    "The first was Chen Jian, who made a historic run in the men's 100m semi-final in this Olympics, the second was Yang Guangzong, the third was Shen Yunbao, and the fourth was It is Su Zu, as the fastest athlete in the team, the holder of the Asian record and the national record, Su Zu was arranged in the last sprint, so as to give full play to his speed advantage, let us silently bless the Chinese team Best performance in relay race. Fifth track..."

    On the field, when the camera is aimed at the first athletes in front of the starting line, the other athletes are carefully measuring their steps on the track. Athletes of each bar use their feet to measure the approximate required step distance on the dividing line of the track, and then affix the prepared tape on the track so that the position of the step point can be seen more clearly.

    The most important and ideal point of 4X100 meters is that both sides still reach or reach the maximum speed when the baton is handed over in pairs.

    This is like an ideal state in physics. It is difficult to say that it is truly achieved, at least it cannot be guaranteed every time, and it can only be approached to this state through long-term and large-scale training.

    Here it is necessary to constantly measure the steps between pairs, and constantly run in, one stick and two sticks, two sticks and three sticks, three sticks and four sticks, this is also a professional relay team must one of the work done.

    Such as Su Zu now basically needs to measure the step point, control when Shen Yunbao enters the step point area, start to accelerate quickly, not only to evaluate his own speed, but also take into account the speed of Shen Yunbao . Only when both he and Shen Yunbao reached the highest speed would they be considered a perfect handover.

    In 2004, the world record for the 4 x 100m was 37.40, while Michael Johnson's 400-meter record was 43.18. It can be seen here that the same is 400 meters, but the record of 4×100 meters is much faster than the record of 400 meters. The most direct reason is that except for the first baton, the acceleration process is counted as time, and the acceleration of the other 2, 3, and 4 baton is completed in the relay area. When the baton is handed over, the athletes are directly in the highest speed state, so they can run. Get a 400-meter record that far exceeds one person.

     According to the position of the step point, Su Zu experimentally started twice, and he had probably grasped the distance of the pace before slowly stopping.

    "Brother Su Zu, come on!"

    "China, win!"

    In the auditorium at the scene, when Su Zu passed the baton and entered the straight area, several shouts came from the side, even the humming noise of the scene did not cover him up .

    Su Zu turned around and saw a family of four, two children, one big and one small, with national flags on their faces, waving flags in their hands, and cheering.

    "I will!" Su Zu beckoned and said silently in his heart. No matter where and when you are playing, there is always someone behind you to support you.

    Before the "Onyourmarks" start line, the referee sounded through the loudspeaker to remind the athletes to take their place.

    Su Zu was in the fourth bat, quickly picked up his mood, stood in the well-calculated starting area of ​​the relay, and waited for the last bat to arrive.

    Pop! The starting gun sounds!

    "The game begins!"

    Yang Jian suddenly shouted, and the audience in front of the TV and the audience suddenly burst into fierce cheers.

    Although 60,000 to 70,000 Greek spectators booed in yesterday's 200m final, the men's 4x100m race today did not show any bad phenomenon again.

    Greece is not among the sixteen teams, but as one of the top events in the Olympic Games, most of the people cheered and cheered.

    "Chen Jian's starting speed is very good, and he is accelerating rapidly. The handover must be stable and no mistakes should be made."

    In Yang Jian's quick commentary, there were already cheers on the field.

    The fourth Chen Jian's voice flew across the track. Because of the number of stretches, he was most compared with the players in the five, six, seven, eight, and four lanes. At this time, in his mind There is only one idea, to catch up with them and get closer to them, so that you can quickly gain an advantage.

    As a sprinter who can break into the semi-finals in the 100-meter event, the best 100-meter time is within 10.20 seconds. Compared with the first team in the same group, he is not weak at all, and even has a different score. small advantage.

    In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the handover area. At this time, Yang Guangzong watched Chen Jian's figure arrive at the position he calculated, and suddenly began to speed up. His acceleration in the first half was slow, which was just right for Chen Jian Top speed for the second half.

    "Take it!"

    A shout that was audible even in the deafening noise, Yang Guangzong did not stretch his head when he ran to the position of his calculated pace, and the baton was firmly grasped at hand.

    "...The handover is perfect. Looking at Yang Guangzong's speed now, the second one has the longest distance. Yang Guangzong is a 200-meter runner, and he is best at running long distances."

      A great player, and the others are on par.

    And with the perfect handover between him and Chen Jian, he gained a slight advantage almost instantly, and gradually caught up with the German team in the fifth straight on the second straight.

    The straight enters the corner, and the second and third sticks begin to hand over.

    Shen Yunbao's heart pounded when the gunshots rang out in the game. He failed to reach the A mark in the 1200, which was his first time in the Olympic Games. Showing his face, he certainly didn't want it to be only this time.

    "Be sure to enter the finals!" This is the goal Shen Yunbao set for himself, and after such a long period of running-in training, he also has a clear understanding of the strength of other teammates, as long as he does not make mistakes ,Certainly possible.

    These thoughts were rolling in his mind, and as Yang Guangzong suddenly approached, he had almost no time to think more. When Yang Guangzong entered the step point position, he turned his head and started to accelerate suddenly.

    His acceleration distance is shorter than that of Yang Guangzong. His stride frequency and stride length for Yang Guangzong have been strictly calculated. The amplitude is huge, and his acceleration ability in the first half is very strong.

    When Shen Yunbao felt that his speed had increased to the fastest stage, an unclear "receive" shouted behind him, and he didn't want to stretch his hand to the back, the baton was already firmly into his hands.

    Accelerating, accelerating, accelerating!

    With a curve distance of more than eighty meters, Shen Yunbao almost ran like a madman. For more than half a month, he could only see other people competing, and at this time, he finally Have the opportunity to gallop the field. Every step, every second, he wants to increase his speed to the extreme state.

    Su Zu turned his head sideways and watched Shen Yunbao galloping, his body that had been in a still state, burst out suddenly, lowered his head and accelerated his run.

    One step, two steps, three steps…

    When he ran to the distance of the eighth step, Su Zu hardly had to listen to whether Shen Yunbao had a password for him to answer, and the countless cheering voices on the scene disturbed people's ears. He only needs to stretch his hand back, and the cooperation that has been honed by countless tacit understandings has reached the pinnacle, and the baton will fall into his palm.

    Su Zu took the baton together, and the speed increased to his fastest extreme stage.

    Bends into straight.

    All the audience are boiling, this is the last great competition, this is the absolute speed competition.

    The first few passes into the straight have been clearly shown in front of everyone, the first Chinese team, the second is the Nigeria team, Suzu leads Nigeria's last taxi. Ali is half a size smaller, and the gap is very small. Behind the two of them was Poland, two positions behind.

    Yang Jian, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, was almost incoherent at this time.

    "The Chinese team is leading now, Su Zu is in the first position, this is 100 meters of the straight, no Gatling, no Green, no one can catch up with him..."

    A gust of wind blew past, the absolute strength of the 100m bronze medal and the 200m silver medal was fully revealed at this time, almost in the blink of an eye, Su Zu will be with Nigeria's fourth bat Taxis Ali. The distance is widening and expanding.

    "Come on Suzu, come on!"

    The audience watching the game in front of the TV, many people stood up.

    Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters…

    Cross the line!

    With the first three sticks ahead, it is almost impossible for Suzu to be overtaken by Nigerian taxi Ali.

    "38 seconds 09!" Yang Jian's voice was high-pitched and thin, "Chinese team, absolute strength, first in the group, advanced to the finals. 38 seconds 09! New national record, new The Asian record! Su Zu, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, the Chinese men's relay team, they once again created a new relay race result! Glory to China! Glory to Asia!"
