The 21-second result appeared, which shocked the audience.

In fact, when Eddie Tolan's 21-second score appeared, some people speculated that Chen Qiang might run to 21 seconds, but when this score really appeared, they would still be very shocked.

The 200-meter sprint event, running a 21-second mark is not only a world record, but also means that humans have finally conquered the 21-second mark!

Before the Los Angeles Olympics, the 200-meter world record was still 21.6 seconds. In just two days of your competition, the 200-meter world record rose to 21 seconds. This is indeed a great improvement.

More importantly, this is an indicator number. In sports, any indicator number is the easiest to remember. For athletes, achieving a certain indicator is a glory and a way to improve their style.

For example, in a 100-meter sprint, the stance suddenly becomes apparent; for example, in the NBA game, if you get 50 points in a single game, you will instantly feel like you have unlocking achievements. Although 49 points in a single game and 50 points in a single game are only one point difference, the stance is completely two levels.

Chen Qiang successfully crossed the eight-meter mark in yesterday's long jump competition, and today's 200-meter final reached 21 seconds. Now Chen Qiang is full of style in the eyes of the surrounding audience!

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Chen Qiang is like a peerless master in martial arts at this time. As long as he stands there, he doesn't need to take action, he has his own aura and can shock the enemy.

At the award ceremony, Eddie Tolan stood on the second place ladder. He took the flowers and looked at the silver medal on his chest, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He won two silver medals in one Olympic Games, and this result was quite good, but this did not achieve the goal Eddie Tolan set for himself before the game.

The award ceremony ended, and Eddie Tolan couldn't wait to leave the podium and return to the United States. He didn't want to be interviewed by reporters. In his opinion, the strong event of the United States, such as the 200m, lost gold medals at home, and if he was interviewed, he would be more like to bear humiliation. Maybe those unscrupulous reporters asked a few sharp questions, and he might be portrayed as a gold-losing sinner in the United States.

Back in Team USA, Eddie Tolan took off the silver medal around his neck, and he seemed a little embarrassed to show the silver medal to his teammates.

"Hey, little black fat man, why are you so bad? You lost in 100 meters and you also lost in 200 meters! And you lost to the same person, a Chinese! We have chosen a useless athlete like you in the US Olympic Trials!" A sarcasm voice sounded.

Eddie Tolan turned around and saw a white man, who was about the same height as him, looked a little thin, but gave people a very strong feeling.

The disgust flashed in Eddie Tolan's eyes. The white man was named Bill Carl, who was a 400-meter sprinter. Moreover, Bill Carl is a typical white man, arrogant and arrogant, and full of contempt for black athletes. He is even more sarcastic to black athletes on weekdays and has an extremely unfriendly attitude.

Eddie Tolan is often ridiculed by Bill Carl because he is not tall and fat.

Faced with Bill Carl's ridicule, Eddie Tolan said: "That Chinese runs very fast. He breaks the world record. He is now the fastest human in the world. If you were to it, you wouldn't be able to beat him!"

"So what about the world record? I will also set a new world record for the 400-meter sprint race that is coming soon." Bill Carl said arrogantly.

"You win Ben Iscarman first!" Eddie Toran snorted coldly.

Ben Iscarman is also an American athlete and is also the current world record holder of the 400-meter sprint. In a game held in California in March 1932, Ben Iscarman broke the 400-meter world record with a time of 46.4 seconds.

(Correction of a mistake. It was said that Lidir's 400-meter world record has been maintained for more than 20 years. It was the information I made mistakes. The one that has been maintained for more than 20 years is another Lidir's record. The 400-meter world record was upgraded to 46.4 seconds by American athlete Ben Iscarman in 1932.)

Hearing the name "Ben Iscarman", Bill Carl instinctively showed a dissatisfied expression, and he said, "It's not that I haven't beat him. I've beat him twice in the past few months!"

"But you still haven't broken his world record! As long as you haven't broken Ben Iscarman's world record, you will never be considered a victory over him!" Eddie Tolan said.

An angry expression appeared on Bill Carl's face.

"In the 400m final the day after tomorrow, I will win the championship with a world record. At that time, losers like you will understand that you are not worthy of talking to me at all!" Bill Carl finished speaking and added: "A waste that even the Chinese cannot win!"

At this moment, an assistant coach of Team USA came over and handed over a form.

"Bill, this is the list of athletes who will participate in the 400m preliminary round tomorrow. You are assigned to the fourth group. The other two players of our team US are in the second group and the sixth group," said the assistant coach of the team US.

Bill Carl took the list, took a quick look, and said, "Are there only six groups of players participating in the competition?"

"Yes, it is said that some athletes abstained from the 200m preliminary round, but in order to prevent the situation in the 200m preliminary round, the organizing committee re-arranged the group to ensure that four to six players in each group participated." The assistant coach of the team US said.

In the 200-meter preliminary round, many athletes abstained, so many groups were introduced to advance. Even though the athletes knew that they had advanced 100%, they simply dealt with it and did not run seriously. This also made the viewing of the preliminary round very poorly and there was no excitement at all.

The organizers of the event obviously drew on experience, so they rescheduled the 400-meter group. The original seven groups of the preliminary round were turned into six groups, with at least four athletes in each group, which gave the athletes pressure to advance and the viewing of the competition also improved.

Bill Carl looked at the athlete list and was assigned to the fourth group, with British and German athletes in his group, but Bill Carl believed that with his own strength, it would be a breeze to advance in the group.

Then Bill Carr looked at the other athletes' groupings again.

The 400-meter world record holder, American player Ben Iscarman, was assigned to the second group, while another American player, James Gordon, was assigned to the sixth group.

"The first group has a Japanese, and it's really hard to spell the names of Japanese. The third group also has a Japanese, huh? There's also a Chinese! The names of Chinese people seem to be much simpler. How do you pronounce the name of this Chinese? Do you want to pronounce "Chen Qiang"? The names of Chinese people are so strange!" Bill Carl sighed.

Eddie Tolan next to him was shocked when he heard the name of "Chen Qiang".

"It's Chen Qiang, he also participated in the 400-meter race!"

The next second, Eddie Tolan suddenly looked at Bill Carl with a gloating look.

Eddie Tolan said, "Bill, didn't you say that I am a waste who lost to the Chinese? Now that Chinese is also in the 400-meter race, I want to see how you beat him!"

"You mean Chen Qiang is that Chinese?" A hint of surprise flashed in Bill Carl's eyes. Then, that proud expression appeared on his face again.

Bill Carl said, "How could a Chinese be my opponent? This is 400 meters, not 100 meters or 200 meters. You, a waste, look clearly and see how I stepped on that Chinese in tomorrow's game!"

...

At the same time, the Japanese track and field team also got the list of athletes participating in the 400m tomorrow. However, the head coach of the Japanese team obviously did not pay much attention to this game. With the 400m level of Japanese athletes, being able to advance from the preliminary round has already completed the competition task very successfully.

The Japanese head coach is most concerned about another game: triple jump!

Tomorrow's track and field, not only will the preliminary round of the 400-meter sprint, but also the final of the triple jump.

The triple-level long jump is a strong event for the Japanese team and also the gold point for the Japanese team to win the Olympics. At the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, Japanese athlete Katsuo Oda won the gold medal in the triple-level long jump event. At the same time, Katsuo Oda also maintained the world record of triple-level long jump with a score of 15.58 meters.

In this Olympics, Katsuo Oda was also one of the players of the Japanese team. He only signed up for the triple jump event. In addition, the Japanese team also had two strong players, Tadaihei of the Southern Takahei and Kenichi Oshima, participating in the triple jump. It can be said that this time the Japanese team sent the strongest lineup in the triple jump event, obviously aiming to win the championship.

At this time, the head coach of the Japanese team has already obtained the list of athletes who will participate in the triple jump competition tomorrow.

"There are sixteen people in total, and there are more contestants in triple jumps than in long jumps."

Since only sixteen athletes participated, there was no preliminary competition for the triple jump, and there was only one final.

Then the head coach of the Japanese team saw Chen Qiang's name on this list.

"Chen Qiang! He is here again!"

The head coach of the Japanese team suddenly tightened his heart. He remembered the final of the long jump event yesterday. In the last test jump, Chen Qiang used a brand new walking style to jump over the eight-meter mark in one fell swoop, becoming the first human in history to skip the eight-meter mark.

"Chen Qiang's long jump is very powerful, so will his triple jump be also very powerful? If Chen Qiang's triple jump is as powerful as long jump, our Japanese team might be in lingering!" The head coach of the Japanese team suddenly felt nervous.

In these three days of competition, Chen Qiang won three gold medals and broke the world record in three events. This strong performance has made the Japanese team feel a strong sense of fear.

Especially in yesterday's long jump competition, Chen Qiang mastered the stand-up and air-elevating technology that only Japanese athletes could, and also showed a new three-step and a half-step air-elevating technology. This is equivalent to defeating Japan in the field that Japan is best at. Even if the Japanese are slow, they can feel Chen Qiang's strength.

...

On the 400-meter contestants list, Chen Qiang did not see Liu Changchun's name. Obviously, Liu Changchun withdrew from the 400-meter competition.

At the Los Angeles Olympics in history, Liu Changchun only participated in the 100m and 200m. Although he signed up for the 400m event, he finally chose to abstain.

After returning to his residence, Liu Changchun told Chen Qiang the reason for withdrawing from the 400-meter race.

"Compared with the world's first-class athletes, my strength is still too weak!" Liu Changchun sighed and continued: "Before coming to Los Angeles, I was full of confidence and hoped to achieve great goals on the field, achieve good results, and win glory for the country. But now it seems that my ideas are really naive, and I underestimate those top athletes in the world."

"I have never missed a game between 100 meters and 200 meters. With my strength, even if I play at my peak, it will be difficult to enter the semi-finals of 100 meters. As for 200 meters, it is difficult to advance from the preliminary round. 400 meters is my weakest event. I think with my strength, if I participate in the competition, it will definitely be the result of the bottom of the group."

"You are not as skilled as others! I think you shouldn't be ugly anymore." Liu Changchun said and patted Chen Qiang on the shoulder: "Chen Qiang, come on, the next game will depend on you!"

Chen Qiang didn't know whether Liu Changchun's decision should be said to be correct or incorrect.

It is said that athletes come to participate in the Olympics through great difficulty. Since they have signed up, they should go to the game. Even if they are the last one, it is a rare experience.

But if the athletes have too poor strength, they will force themselves to play games and end up achieving a very bad result, which will not only hurt the athletes' self-confidence, but will also cause ridicule from athletes from other countries.

In this era, it is normal for athletes to withdraw from the competition. Athletes feel that they are in poor condition and will withdraw from the competition, athletes feel that they are not strong enough, and athletes feel that their opponents are too strong. Some athletes can even apply for "communication" status, that is, they participate in the competition as usual, but their results are not calculated. It is really a friendship-based exchange.

In the Olympics of that era, there were no A-B marks. No matter how high or low the athletes were, they could participate in the competition as long as they registered. Therefore, the athletes' levels were also uneven, which also led to frequent withdrawals.

After the registration standards for the future Olympics begin to be implemented, athletes must at least meet the Olympic B standard before participating. This will screen out those athletes with low levels, which will greatly improve the overall strength of the contestants, and the athletes will temporarily return food to the food.

Liu Changchun's withdrawal made Chen Qiang feel helpless and a little disappointed.

In Chen Qiang's heart, he still hopes that Liu Changchun can persist, so that at least Chen Qiang can feel that he has companions participating in the competition with him, so that Chen Qiang will not feel lonely.

Now that Liu Changchun has withdrawn from the 400-meter race, Chen Qiang can only fight alone!

In the history of the Los Angeles Olympics, the Chinese team only sent Liu Changchun to participate, so it was also called "One-person Olympics".

Now that Liu Changchun has withdrawn from the competition, only Chen Qiang is the only Chinese left on the field.

Chen Qiang sighed: "The Olympics alone have fallen on me now!"

...

The news that Chen Qiang won the gold medal in the 200-meter event and broke the world record spread to the United States with the radio.

At dinner time, the car worker John did not go home for dinner, but went to a small bar with several workers and had a glass of beer.

The bar sound is not good. Due to the Great Depression, many Americans can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, so where can they have money to come to the bar to spend. Even if they can come to the bar to spend, they still order some of the cheapest and worst-quality wines. Then they have to save a drink, lick it in small sips, and strive to hold on to the cow that can brag for the whole night.

Perhaps because of the lack of people, the bar seems very quiet, and it is precisely because of this silence that the sound of the news broadcasting on the radio is extremely clear.

Then John and his colleagues heard about Chen Qiangduo's 200-meter championship.

"Why are there news about that Chinese every day! The day before yesterday was 100 meters, yesterday was long jump, today was 200 meters, and there are still no end! Every day is gold medals, every day is a world record! Did the track and field competitions of the Olympics be booked by that Chinese!" John said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Short running has always been a strong event for us Americans, but this time we lost two gold medals in a row. I really don't know what our American athletes are doing!" A coworker next to him complained.

"The economic environment is so poor now, there are unemployed people everywhere, and so many people are hungry. Perhaps even athletes can't eat enough, so they don't have the energy to run away!" someone joked.

John shook his head disapprovingly: "Don't forget that our American athletes actually lost to the Chinese! No matter how bad our economic environment is, we must be better than China, right? In that primitive place in China, there is no bread, no milk, nothing! If our American athletes could not eat enough, Chinese athletes would have starved to death three times!"

"Yes, if we American athletes can't eat enough, the Chinese will not be able to eat enough. But even so, we can't even compare to the Chinese. The United States is afraid it's really not possible!"

"Okay, this Olympics, our American team is finished! The economy is still so bad, and our United States is finished! Maybe tomorrow, we will all be unemployed and everyone will be finished! Let's have a drink for this!" The man who spoke raised his beer glass, and the others responded one after another.

Swallowing a sip of beer into his stomach made John feel bitter, and what’s even more bitter is his concern for the future!
