Chapter 185 - Cross another limit

The next match is about to start for the men's 100m.

In the men's 100m game, Montgomery still did not come, but Crawford returned, plus Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott formed an American trio. In addition to Powell, Austria there were familiar faces such as Brockville, there are also local Belgian athletes participating in the competition.

The tracks of Powell and Zhang Guan were next to each other. Powell made a move towards Zhang Guan and said, "Will you try to break the world record in a while?"

"Of course you have to try it, and to receive an extra 100,000 euros in prize money! And Rogge can look at it, this is a good opportunity to flatter!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Flatter him? Those athletes who came to participate in the game today all wanted a chance with the President of the International Olympic Committee!" Powell sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have this strength!"

Zhang Guan just smiled and did not continue to respond. He challenged the new world record today, not only to shoot Rogge's ass but also for the martial arts project to enter the Olympics.

The referee signaled the athletes to prepare, so the contestants immediately stood on the starting blocks.

"Set..." The starter shouted this sentence, and then pulled the trigger.

After the contestants froze for a while, they started to run. The athlete's starting reaction time shown later, except Zhang Guan, the other athletes' starting reaction time was all-around 0.2 seconds. For professional 100-meter sprinters, this starting reaction time can be said to be a complete failure.

In one case, the starter's order will have a sense of rhythm. There is a pause between each step, preparation, and shooting. Every person has a different rhythm of order, but there is not much difference between them. The athletes are also betting on the rhythm of the starter when they adopt the tactics of pressing the gun.

But today the starter shot directly after calling "Set", there was no pause at all, so the athletes did not respond well, resulting in a slow start reaction time.

Zhang Guan was also somewhat caught off guard, but fortunately, he has the skills of "fast response", so the starting reaction time is still within the normal range.

In the usual games, Zhang Guan generally chooses to seek stability and honestly listens to the gun run. After all, strength has the advantage, there is no need to bet on the gun run, so for Zhang Guan's 100-meter competition it is difficult to obtain any advantage in the early stage. But today's situation is a bit different. The other athletes started a little slower. On the contrary, Zhang Guan, who started normally, gained an advantage at the beginning of the game.

"Zhang Guan has taken the lead from the beginning! The championship has no suspense, it must be Zhang Guan!" Coach Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The only suspense left now is whether Zhang Guan can break the world record.

The camera has always been aimed at Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan has been far ahead of them, and the gap between him and them is getting bigger and bigger, but the time is also passing. The closer Zhang Guan is to the finish line, the record of 9.70 seconds that Zhang Guan created in the 100-meter world record is getting closer.

The audience observed through the broadcast lens that Zhang Guan's understanding of the speed is not so intuitive, but Powell, who is behind Zhang Guan, is different from the world's top sprinter. Powell was already very sensitive to speed. Now he is in the same field being competitive and can feel the speed of Zhang Guan more deeply.

"Zhang Guan wanted to hit the world record!" Powell thought a little but not on the game, but was wondering whether Zhang Guan could break the world record of the 100-meter sprint.

At 60 meters, 70 meters, and 80 meters, Zhang Guan was getting closer and closer to the endpoint, and the cheers on the scene were getting louder and louder.

"Zhang Guan, leading the way! His speed is very fast. Zhang Guan, can he break the world record! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Crossed the finish line!" The on-site commentator made a violent voice, and then carefully confirmed Zhang The crown's performance immediately shouted, "World record! New world record! 9.68 seconds! New 100-meter world record! Zhang Guan, here, in Brussels, with a score of 9.68 seconds, broke his own 9.70 men's 100m World Record!"

"Zhang Guan, the first person in human history to enter the 9.70-second mark! Some scientists have proposed that the limit of human 100 meters is 9.70 seconds, but today, Zhang Guan uses his strength to tell the world that humans can run within 0.70 seconds!"

Nearly 50,000 spectators on the scene were crazy at this moment. They waited for the world record all night and it finally came!

Coach Yu raised his arms high. Although before this, Coach Yu had prepared for Zhang Guan to break the world record, it was still hard for him to hide his excitement.

At 9.68 seconds, Zhang Guan crossed the threshold of 9.70 seconds, so this world record looks exceptional.

Rogge, who was sitting in the VIP room, let out a breath, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next to him stood up and began to applaud.

"Finally, someone broke the world record. If no one broke the world record in today's game, it would be more embarrassing!" Rogge clapped and stood up with a smile, looking at the crown that was still celebrating at the finish line, it became a lot more beautiful.

Others such as Ishimbaeva, Dibaba, Belles, Shahien, etc., all looked at Zhang Guan with envy. Which of these world-class big-name athletes did not want to have a relationship with Rogge? The result was that only Zhang Guan successfully broke the world record. After the dinner of the Belgian royal family tomorrow, the Olympic Organizing Committee will take special care of will add Zhang Guan's name on the list.

At this time, Director Zhu, who was watching the battle at the scene, also specifically found a quiet corner to report this matter to the domestic Olympic Games Organizing Committee. Although it was already early in the morning at this time, the responsible leader did not rest and has been waiting for the news, for the martial arts project to enter the Olympics, the domestic Olympic Organizing Committee has also made every effort to use all the relationships that can be used for public relations.

...

VIP room.

His Royal Highness, who was already in his fifties, was still in a state of euphoria, showing no tiredness at all, acting like a young man in his 20s or 30s.

"This Chinese guy is awesome. The first score in the history of mankind to reach the 9.70-second mark, and it was created in Belgium. It will be the 100th anniversary of the Belgian Olympic Committee. I think history will always remember this moment!" His Royal Highness said.

Rogge nodded in agreement, "This is indeed a moment we should remember. The world record of the Hundred Meter Flying Man has an extraordinary significance, not to mention the 9.70-second mark that exceeded the human limit."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dinner. I can't wait to meet this Chinese friend. Oh, I remembered that he will have a 400-meter race in a moment!" His Royal Highness said.

"Zhang Guan is the first athlete to participate in two events in the same Golden League. His 400 meters is also the world's top, even the American athlete Varina is not his opponent." Rogge said.

"I remember the 400-meter world record seems to be an almost impossible result. If Zhang Guan can break the world record in the 400-meter race in a while, it will be perfect!" His Royal Highness Crown Prince continued happily. "The game of Brussels in the Golden League gave birth to two epic world records! I think Brussels will be the best stop since the founding of the Golden League! Mr. Rogge, what do you think?"

"The best stop since the Golden League was held?" Rogge thought that His Royal Highness heart was really big enough. The world record of 400 meters is not so easy to break! With a world record of 43 seconds and 18 years since Michael Johnson retired, no athlete can ever get closer to this result, let alone break the world record.

But Rogge did not show it in his expression. He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I think so too. I look forward to the 400m race soon."

...

"What a lucky guy! He ran into 9.70 seconds, 9.68 seconds, another limit speed for humans." Coach Hart sighed somewhat helplessly, "It looks like Zhang Guan is in good condition today."

Coach Hart used the word "good" because Varina's condition is very good today. In the opinion of Coach Hart, it can even be described as "good to burst".

"The 400-meter sprint war will be a bitter battle for Varina. I don't know if Varina can win the final victory today!" Coach Hart muttered to himself.

As an American athlete, Varina is not too enthusiastic about Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee. After all, American sports are highly commercialized and the income of American athletes is also very good. The degree of reliance is not high, and they have a cooperative relationship with the International Olympic Committee.

Therefore, at this time, Varina cares more about defeating Zhang Guan.

Brussels is already the fifth match of the Golden League. Varina is also competing against Zhang Guan for the fifth time. Varina's performance in the first four times cannot be said to be bad, but that Zhang Guan's strength is too strong. However, the "White Forrest Gump" did not intend to give up. He always felt that there was no difference in strength between him and Zhang Guan, but only different on the spot, so in Brussels, Varina still had to challenge Zhang Guan.

Finally, after a period of rest, the 400-meter race started.

In the 400-meter race, the women's 400-meter race started first. It is also the American women's 400-meter sprinter who returned in this race. Richards won the championship without suspense, but she did not break the world record. The women's 400-meter world record still dates back to 20 years. At that time, the Democratic German athlete Koch's 47.60 seconds. In this era when women's 400-meter results are generally 49 seconds away, Koch's world record is also impossible to break.

Next, finally reached the men's 400 meters competition, Zhang Guan and Varina will usher in the fifth match of the year.
