Chapter 186 How come there is him everywhere!

Chen Qiang's back-turning throwing technique caused a lot of discussion. After that, two other Chinese players, Guo Jie and Leng Bacon, also appeared one after another, and they also used the back-turning throwing technique.

Guo Jie scored a score of 42 meters in the first trial, which was only 2 meters away from the 44-meter standard line. This score was also very good in the first trial jump.

Leng Bacon, who appeared later, also scored a score of 39 meters, almost exceeding the 40 meters mark, and was able to rank in the middle among all the players.

Overall, Guo Jie and Leng Bacon's performance is also very outstanding. Although they have not won more than many contestants, it is already difficult to be comparable to athletes in European and American countries.

After the two Chinese athletes successively used the back-turn rotation throwing technology, no matter how stupid people are, they have realized that back-turn throwing is a newly developed discus throwing technology.

"This is really a new technology, and Chen Qiang has developed another new technology!"

"With your back to the throwing direction, turn your body around first, and then throw the discus out. Will it really throw further?"

"I don't know very well that only Chinese athletes use this technology, and Chen Qiang, who threw the farthest, only exceeded 44 meters. Such results are not enough to prove that this technology with the back to the throwing direction is better than the existing discus throwing technology."

"It makes sense. We need more data to confirm the effectiveness of this new technology."

"Did you forget the high jump competition? Chen Qiang also used a high-tech in the preliminary round. At that time, we were also talking about the effect of that new technology, but he set five world records in a row!"

"Is it said that Chen Qiang is going to break the world record again in the discus project?"

The audience at the Berlin Stadium began to discuss Chen Qiang's back-turning throwing technique again.

However, other athletes participating in the discus competition showed expressions of fear on their faces.

People are always afraid of the unknown. Chen Qiang used a new discus throwing technology, and other athletes instinctively felt that this new technology would be very powerful.

What's more, Chen Qiang has had a "crime". In the high jump competition the day before yesterday, Chen Qiang also used a new technology that was back to Vietnam, and then broke the world record five times in a row. In yesterday's long jump competition, Chen Qiang's front flip flip also broke the world record of long jump. These are all breakthroughs made by new technologies.

So in the discus competition, when Chen Qiang used the back-turning throwing technique, many athletes participating in the discus competition instinctively felt that Chen Qiang was going to break the world record again, and they had no hope of winning the championship.

Those athletes with stronger strength do not care about the new technologies shown by Chen Qiang. These athletes all have the world's top strength, so they are confident that they can deal with any opponent.

Chen Qiang advanced to the finals in the afternoon after his first trial. He had no need to participate in the next two trials, so he simply started to observe the situation of other athletes.

The first thing to note is of course American athletes. The United States was the world's number one track and field power at that time, so the strength of the players is naturally extraordinary.

In addition to the Americans, Swedish Harald Anderson and German player Willie Schroeder are also the focus of Chen Qiang.

Swedish player Harald Anderson broke the world record of discus with a score of 52.42 meters in August 1934, which was broken in 1935. But as the former world record holder, Harald Anderson naturally has the strength to compete for the championship.

German player Willie Schroeder is the one who broke Harald Anderson's world record and is also the current world record holder. He set a world record of 53.10 in April 1935. As a world record holder and local combat, Willie Schroeder is also determined to win the gold medal of the discus.

...

In the next game, among the two Chinese players, Guo Jie successfully scored a score of over 44 meters and advanced to the final in the afternoon. However, Leng Bacon's three trial shots never exceeded 44 meters, and he was unfortunately eliminated.

Guo Jie, who successfully advanced to the finals, seemed very excited. After all, with his strength, it was already very successful to advance to the Olympic finals.

However, the audience did not care whether Guo Jie advanced. People's eyes fell on Swedish player Harald Anderson, because Harald Anderson broke out with a big upset, and he did not advance to the finals.

As a former world record holder, Harald Anderson's strength is unquestionable. Although he lost the world record in April 1935, he set the second best result in the world of 53 meters 02 in October of the same year, only 8 cm away from the new world record. For an athlete who can shoot 53 meters, the 44-meter promotion line is simply too easy!

However, in the preliminaries of the discus, Harald Anderson was in extremely poor condition. It would be better to shoot only 38 seconds 5 at a time, which was far from the 44-meter promotion line, and even among the eliminated athletes, they were still at the bottom.

Except for Harald Anderson, the other two Swedish players successfully advanced to the finals. The "leader's big brother" was eliminated, but the younger brother advanced, which was really embarrassing.

For the Germans, Harald Anderson was eliminated is good news. In the eyes of the Germans, Harald Anderson is the only player who can threaten Willy Schroeder. Now that Harald Anderson is eliminated, will Willy Schroeder lock in the championship in advance!

...

After the preliminaries of the discus, the semi-finals of the 200-meter sprint were held. The semi-finals were divided into two groups, and the first three groups advanced to the afternoon finals.

In the 200m semi-finals, there was only one German athlete named Carl Neckman, who is Germany's 200m champion. However, compared with American players, Carl Neckman's strength is still much worse. Even in Europe, Carl Neckman is not the top one.

In the semi-finals, Carl Neckman happened to be in the same group as Chen Qiang. In addition to these two, this group also includes American player Mike Robinson, Swiss player Paul Ennie and two Canadian athletes.

The strength of the two Canadian players is relatively weak, while Chen Qiang and American player Mike Robinson are stronger, so it is basically the Germans and the Swiss to compete for the third place to advance to the finals.

In the group where Chen Qiang is in, the pressure to advance is relatively less. The other group includes American players Jesse Owens and Bob Packard, Canadian player Lee Orr, and "the fastest white man in the world" Tinus Osendap. The American player's strength is naturally strong, the fastest white man in the world is also the top in the world, and that Canadian is the champion of the All-British Games. If German players are placed in this group, they will not even have a chance to advance.

Chen Qiang appeared in the first group, and due to the German players, the audience seemed extremely enthusiastic.

Chen Qiang didn't care about the German player. After all, the opponent's strength posed no threat to him.

After the gunfire of the starting lineup rang, Chen Qiang immediately rushed out and then used the technique of running on the curve. For Chen Qiang, this was just a semi-final, so there was no need to try his best.

But Chen Qiang soon discovered that the American player in the same group seemed to be a little fast.

Chen Qiang has an impression of this American player, remembering that his name is Mike Robinson, and Mike Robinson's younger brother is Jackie Robinson, the first black athlete to enter Major League Baseball.

Mike Robinson's speed was a little beyond Chen Qiang's expectations. Fortunately, this was the semi-final and Chen Qiang had enough energy, so he divided his mind a little and observed Mike Robinson's corner running.

"The technique of running on this curve is already very good, which is one level better than Eddie Tolan four years ago. In the past four years, the technical level of American track and field has also improved a lot." Chen Qiang gave an evaluation in his heart.

At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, Chen Qiang broke the 200-meter world record with a time of 21 seconds. Now at the Berlin Olympics, it is definitely impossible to win the championship with a time of 21 seconds. Not to mention the perverted Jesse Owens, just talking about Mike Robinson, he should have run at 21 seconds.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang is not the one four years ago. Chen Qiang four years ago was only 18 years old and has not yet grown up. Now Chen Qiang is 22 years old, and is at the peak of athletics athlete. After four years of practice, Chen Qiang's sprinting skills have become more and more proficient.

Facing the fierce Mike Robinson, Chen Qiang did not compete with him for a while. Even after entering the straight, Mike Robinson was ahead of Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang did not chase him hard, but ran the whole process with the second place.

In the end, Mike Robinson ran a 21.1 second, only 0.1 second away from the 200-meter world record maintained by Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang won the second place with a 21.2 second. The third place was taken away by Swiss player Paul Nyon, his score was 21.6 seconds, and German player Carl Neckman ran only 21.8 seconds and missed the final.

Next, it is the second group of master Ruyun's turn to appear.

At the beginning of the game, Jesse Owens gained a leading advantage. In Chen Qiang's view, Jesse Owens' curve skills may not be as good as Mike Robinson, but Jesse Owens' speed is faster than Mike Robinson.

"Jesse Owens' physical talent is really great!" Chen Qiang couldn't help but show his envious look.

In second place is Canadian player Lee Orr, who showed great cornering skills and physical explosiveness.

Although Lee Orr is a Canadian, he grew up in Washington Governor and received American education, so his technical characteristics are more like American athletes than European athletes.

The third place is Dutch player Tinus Orsendap, the fastest white man in the world.

"Although they are also white, Lee Orr's curve skills are obviously much better than those of Tinus Orsendap. It seems that Europe's sprinting has begun to lag behind the United States. But it was not the case four years ago. I remember that the white European athletes at that time were just blacks with less physical fitness than those of the United States, but the technical level was still the same." Chen Qiang said in his heart.

According to Chen Qiang's knowledge, the technical gap between Europe and the United States will only increase in the future. After the outbreak of World War II, although the American track and field sports stagnated, Europe's track and field sports have been directly regressed for ten years. As one goes up and down, European track and field sports are difficult to catch up with the United States. It was not until the Soviet Union returned to the Olympics that American athletes were no longer the only one.

Chen Qiang was thinking that the contestants on the track had already entered the straight road.

Jesse Owens is still the first.

"Jesse Owens' lead is a bit big!" Chen Qiang frowned slightly. He had a premonition that Jesse Owens might have a very amazing result.

Jesse Owens crossed the finish line with a huge advantage. After he stopped, he immediately looked at the referee, as if asking about his achievements.

After a while, the referee finally announced Jesse Owens's results:

"20 seconds 9!"

Chen Qiang immediately showed a "very sure" expression.

The previous 200-meter world record was the 21-second total maintained by Chen Qiang. In this semi-final, Jesse Owens ran a 20-second 9, breaking Chen Qiang's 200-meter world record.

After hearing this result, Jesse Owens also realized who he had broken. He clenched his fists excitedly, then turned to look at Chen Qiang. Jesse Owens wanted to see what kind of expression Chen Qiang would look like after he learned that his world record was broken.

"Chen Qiang, you must be surprised, right? Or may you feel panicked?" Jesse Owens said in his heart.

However, when he found Chen Qiang's figure in the crowd, he saw a very calm face.

Of course, Chen Qiang was very calm because he remembered that Jesse Owens scored a 20.7 second time in the 200m final of the Berlin Olympics. In comparison, there is no need to be surprised by this 20.9 world record.

...

On the afternoon of August 5, Chen Qiang was going to participate in the final of the discus and the 200-meter sprint, but before that, he would also participate in the preliminary round of the 110-meter hurdles.

There were 32 athletes participating in the 110-meter hurdles in the Berlin Olympics. Since the number of people is far inferior to the 100-meter sprint, the competition only has three preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals.

The preliminary round is divided into six groups, and the top two in the group advance, which is equivalent to 32 and 12, which is still relatively cruel.

In addition to sending Chen Qiang, the Chinese team also sent two players, Huang Yingjie and Lin Shaozhou. Both of them were hurdlers during the Republic of China period.

Huang Yingjie is from Guangdong. He participated in the Far East Games during the Chinese New Year and the National Games for many National Games. The national record of 110-meter hurdles during the Republic of China was maintained by Huang Yingjie. In the future, Huang Yingjie first moved to Hong Kong, then immigrated to Canada with his family, and finally died of illness in Vancouver.

Lin Shaozhou was born in Taiwan Province. His father was once a military officer of the Qing government in Taiwan during the late Qing Dynasty, so Lin Shaozhou was also from a wealthy family. However, after the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Taiwan became a Japanese colony. Although Lin Shaozhou was a child of an official, he was still regarded as a "second-class citizen". When Lin Shaozhou was in middle school, because a Japanese student bullied a Chinese student, Lin Shaozhou stepped forward and beat Japanese students. As a result, he was expelled from the school. So Lin Shaozhou smuggled to Xiamen, Fujian and completed his studies.

As a Taiwanese athlete, Lin Shaozhou's representative to China in the Berlin Olympics also has special significance. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Shaozhou did not return to Taiwan, but stayed in the mainland. Later, Lin Shaozhou entered the Southwest Military Region Sports Team and became the first 110-meter hurdles in New China, contributing to the development of sports in New China.

...

Chen Qiang was lucky and happened to be assigned to the sixth group and will be in the final stage, so he can have a preliminary understanding of the current level of 110-meter hurdles in the world by observing other athletes.

In the first group, the top two in the group were 15 seconds and 15 seconds respectively. Such a score was considered the middle level among the second-level athletes in the future. This score also made Chen Qiang judge that if he wanted to advance safely, he would have to run at least a 15-second score.

The second group of players, the first place was taken away by American athletes, and his score was 14.7 seconds, which was close to the level of a national first-level athlete in the future. Chinese player Huang Yingjie also appeared in this group, but he only ran for 16.9 seconds, which was too far from advancing and was eliminated.

In the third group, British player Don Finley won the first place in the group with a time of 14.7 seconds. This player Chen Qiang remembers that he was the bronze medalist of the 110-meter hurdles in the last Olympics.

In the fourth group, another Chinese player, Lin Shaozhou, appeared. He ran for 15 seconds and was also eliminated.

In the fifth group, the 110-meter hurdle world record holder, American player Forrest Downs, came on the stage and directly ran a 14.5-second best result of the day.

Then came the sixth group where Chen Qiang was.

When Chen Qiang stood on the runway, there was a continuous stream of discussion in the surrounding audience.

"That person is Chen Qiang?"

"That's right, it's Chen Qiang! Did he also participate in the 110-meter hurdle?"

"Sprint, high jump, long jump, discus, and now even hurdles have he participated in how many events have he participated in?"

"Will you feel tired if you participate in so many projects by yourself?"

"It's not the key to whether he is tired or not. The key is that he is alone, how can he be proficient in so many projects?"

"It's not impossible for one person to be proficient in multiple events. Look at the decathlon athletes, aren't they proficient in ten events?"

"So can a decathlon break the world record?"

I have to say that Chen Qiang appears in the track and field every day, and by the way, the gold medal broke the world record and gave a sense of presence in front of the audience. This made no one on the audience know Chen Qiang, and many people even felt a little aesthetically tired when they saw Chen Qiang.

On the other side, Jesse Owens also looked at Chen Qiang with a look of surprise.

"Why are he everywhere!"
