Chapter 188 Gold Medal in Hand
At 55 meters 36, Chen Qiang successfully broke the world record of the discus project.
Before this, the world record of the discus was 53 meters 10 meters maintained by German player Willie Schroeder, and Chen Qiang directly raised the world record by 2.26 meters.
Before the back-turning throwing technology appeared, the world record of discus was 53 meters 26. In the 1940s, Italian athlete Adolf Consorini invented the back-turning throwing technology and broke the world record three times. Adolf Consorini's third world record score was 55 meters 33, which is similar to Chen Qiang's score.
In fact, the discus throwing and number used by Chen Qiang is closer to the modern discus throwing technology than the technology of Adolf Consolini. Chen Qiang throws the center of gravity lower when he throws, and this low center of gravity backward discus throwing technology can exceed the 70-meter mark. However, Chen Qiang can only throw 55 meters 36 meters with the same technology. In this regard, Chen Qiang is still far behind the discus world champions in later generations.
However, in 1936, the score of 55 meters and 36 meters really shocked everyone.
Since the founding of the IAAF, humans have recorded the world record of discus. This is the first time that someone has been able to raise the world record of discus more than two meters!
In the competition at that time, if you bet a distance of 50 meters, you can win the championship in most competitions. However, due to the participation of world record holders, the results will be better, and the championship may reach about 53 meters.
But the previous world record was only 53 meters and 10 meters, and at that time, there would not be more than five people who could throw more than 53 meters in the world!
Chen Qiang threw 55 meters 36 at once, which immediately made other athletes feel deeply desperate.
Before Chen Qiang appeared, the top players were still thinking about it. After three trial shots, they made a big explosion, and scored more than 50 meters, and they might win the championship. With Chen Qiang's 55 meters and 36 meters, all this hopes were shattered. For a group of athletes who were difficult to shoot 50 meters, 55 meters and 36 was simply an insurmountable mountain.
Even former world record holder Willie Schroder had a depressed expression at this time. With his strength, if he performed well, he would definitely be able to score more than 53 meters again, and even break his own world record. However, a 55 meters scored him with the idea of giving up the game. If Chen Qiang scored 53 meters 36 meters, Willie Schroder would definitely try to fight, and he might be able to overtake, but now it is 55 meters 36 meters, which directly wiped out Willie Schroder's passion for continuing his struggle.
Chen Qiang is over 55 meters, so what else is there to compare to this game!
"It actually exceeded 55 meters, and that Chinese broke the limit of humanity again!" The head coach of the American team shook his head helplessly. Although the United States' Gordon Dunn and Ken Carpenter both entered the finals and their results were outstanding, the head coach of the United States knew that the gold medal of the discus had missed the United States, and the two players of the United States did not have the ability to shoot a distance of more than 55 meters.
The next second, the head coach of the US team suddenly remembered Chen Qiang's back-to-body spinning investment technology.
"It's because of that new technology. Chen Qiang was able to break the world record because of his throwing technology with his back to the throwing direction and then spinning his body!" The head coach of the United States team had already realized this.
"High jump, long jump, and today's discus. The world records of these three events that Chen Qiang broke rely on new technicians. If we American athletes also use the same technology, we would definitely not be much worse than Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang's world record also fully proves that new technologies should be developed in track and field sports!"
This idea became clearer in the minds of the head coach of the US team. Chen Qiang's success made him realize the importance of new technologies. At the same time, he also decided to vigorously carry out track and field technology research and development after returning to the United States, and bring track and field on a technology-oriented path.
In fact, in the 1930s, track and field technology was indeed in a relatively primitive era, and advanced technology in later generations could dominate that era. But all track and field technology was developed step by step, and eventually matured and took shape.
With the level of the 1930s, if you forcefully develop track and field technology, it may not be able to achieve good results. In that era, there were no high-speed cameras, computer analysis, and even basic sports science. In that era, when you forcefully improve the technology, the hardware was completely unsuitable, and the effect was even more slim.
For example, the League of Legends game was developed in the 1990s. Although the game was very good, the Pentium processor computers could not bring this game at all. Even if the computer could bring it up, the Internet speed of the phone line and the cat Internet was really a step-by-step, and the card was cool, and the stop was stylish.
Nowadays, Americans are focusing on developing new track and field technologies, which is equivalent to playing League of Legends using computers and internet speeds from 20 years ago. Although they have ambitions, they will not achieve good results.
Chen Qiang, a time traveler, is familiar with future technologies and has a training space for future training, so he can practice and use future technologies. Simply put, Chen Qiang is just copying future technologies. He is just a technical learner, not a technology developer.
However, Americans were led by Chen Qiang. After Chen Qiang successively broke the world record with new technologies, Americans suddenly felt that new technologies were the most important in track and field sports, so they began to continuously develop new technologies, and they wanted to become technical developers.
So in the time and space where Chen Qiang appeared, all kinds of strange new track and field technologies will appear in the United States in the next twenty years, and Americans are happy to develop new track and field technologies. It was not until the rise of Soviet track and field that American track and field was brought back to normal.
...
Back to the topic, although Chen Qiang broke the world record, the competition still needs to be held, and the athletes have to continue to complete the remaining three trial shots.
The order of appearances is rearranged. The worst-scored ones in the first three trial shots will play first, and the best-scored ones will play later, so Chen Qiang will play in the final. However, Chen Qiang does not plan to try again, and the score of 55.36 meters is enough to ensure the championship.
The first to appear was former world record holder, German player Willie Schroeder.
Willie Schroder seemed a little depressed and a little unwilling to fight. After all, the world record he had maintained was broken by Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang's 55.36 meters was a result that he could not meet. For Willie Schroder, he really had no mind to play.
As the world record holder and playing at home, Willy Schroeder was determined to win the gold medal, so when he knew that the gold medal was hopeless, he was also the one with the most depressed mood. In comparison, other athletes were much better, after all, their goals were not as high as they were set. Even if they couldn't win the gold medal, they would feel much less frustrated.
Willy Schroderway walked into the throwing area with frustration. He grabbed the discus and looked into the distance, but the decadence in his heart was even more serious.
The former world record holder has lost his fighting spirit. Even at his home court, even if the audience is cheering for him, he has lost confidence in the face of an unattainable achievement.
Perhaps for Willy Schroeder, the audience cheering would make him feel even more sad because he could not bring a gold medal to these supporters.
Willy Schroder completed his fourth trial shot as if he was a routine, with a score of only 47 meters and 39 meters, which is still far from the 50-meter mark.
The second appearance was Norwegian player Radal. Radal was in a better situation than Willie Schroeder, with a shot of 47 meters and 66 meters.
The third is American athlete Ken Carpenter. He was the discus champion at the Berlin Olympics in history, and he was also the only person who shot more than 50 meters in the Berlin Olympics.
At this time, Ken Carpenter seemed to be still immersed in the shock of the 55-meter-36 world record. Until he stood on the field, he seemed to have not fully entered the game state. The result can be imagined that his fourth test shot ended with a foul.
The fourth appearance was the Italian thin bamboo pole George Oberweg. He scored 47.28 meters, which was not very high. Obviously, he was also influenced by Chen Qiang's world record.
The fifth appearance was American player Gordon Dunn, who shot 47.21 meters, which was not an ideal result.
These five athletes were obviously influenced by Chen Qiang. After all, a world record of 55.36 meters is really shocking. After seeing this world record, all five people knew that the champion had gone away, which also wiped out their fighting spirit to a certain extent, so their fourth trial score was also affected.
If Chen Qiang's grades were not so "perverted", this might not have happened. At least other athletes would try to fight again, but 55.36 meters is beyond their ability, and no matter how hard they fight, it is meaningless.
Chen Qiang was the last athlete to make his debut. Since he had just broken the world record, both the audience and the athletes around him looked at Chen Qiang with anticipation, hoping that he could make achievements again.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Chen Qiang directly chose to abstain. Soon, the referee also announced the result.
"Did Chen Qiang abstain? Why did he abstain?"
"He just broke the world record and should be in the right state and should not abstain!"
"Did he be injured? He can't make an appearance again?"
"It's possible, that's 55 meters 36. Maybe it's really too much force and I'm injured."
People were talking about it, and those who were closer to Chen Qiang even gave Chen Qiang a concerned look.
Only Jesse Owens spoke: "Chen Qiang is trying to get time to restore his strength!"
Jesse Owens is worthy of being the world's top athlete, and he guessed Chen Qiang's intentions at a glance.
...
The discus game continued, and the coaches of each team saw that the athletes were absent-minded. They were shocked by Chen Qiang's 55.36 meters and could not display their true strength at all. So these coaches encouraged the athletes, hoping that they could recover as soon as possible.
In the fifth try jump, German player Willie Schroeder scored 47 meters 81. His form obviously has not recovered yet and is still in a shock of 55 meters 36. As a former world record holder, he is the most affected and recovers slowly.
Norwegian player Radal threw a 48-meter 65-meter 65-meter 65-meter 6, and his performance was improved, which shows that he is getting rid of the psychological shadow brought by 55-meter 36-meter 6.
American player Ken Carpenter shot 50m 48, the second time today to exceed 50m.
Ken Carpenter once scored 53 meters 08 in domestic competitions in the United States, one of the few players in the world who can score more than 53 meters. Today, 50 meters 48 is still more than two meters away from his peak score, but such results can prove that he has walked out of the shadow of 55 meters 36 and has begun to find his form.
However, Ken Carpenter's 50-meter-48 made his compatriot Gordon Dunn feel stressed. At present, Gordon Dunn's score is 49-meter-36, originally ranked second only to Chen Qiang, but now it is surpassed by Ken Carpenter and ranked third, and the silver medal instantly made the bronze medal.
Chen Qiang's 55-meter-36 has destroyed Gordon Dunn's confidence. Now Ken Carpenter has put pressure on him again, so Gordon Dunn's test shot only scored 47-meter-77.
Chen Qiang, the last one to appear, still chose to abstain.
The sixth and last jump. The result of this jump has nothing to do with the title. After all, the other five players are not able to score more than 55 meters.
German player Willie Schroder's performance was still not satisfactory, and he only scored 47.93 meters. This former world record holder completely missed the medal at his home court, which made the disappointed sighs in the audience unable to stop for a long time, and many people even shed tears of sadness.
Willie Schroeder also seemed very depressed. He walked off the field with his head down, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
This scene moved many people, and everyone felt the cruelty of competitive sports. The other players who had not yet appeared even felt a sad feeling of a rabbit and a fox. The state that had been slowly recovering also disappeared due to this negative atmosphere.
As a result, the remaining four players' results were not ideal, and none of them scored above 48 meters.
Gordon Dunn, the second-to-last appearance, directly ended his Berlin Olympics trip with a foul. At this time, Chen Qiangzi really locked in the discus championship.
In the last try jump, Chen Qiang still did not appear. He had been preparing to participate in the award ceremony for a long time. He had the most difficult game afterwards, that is, the 200m final, and Chen Qiang had to face Jesse Owens again.
Jesse Owens is known as the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century. Chen Qiang has seen many records about him. Jesse Owens is proficient in many track and field events, but judging from his results, his best attitude is to 220 yards sprinting.
Jesse Owens showed his sprinting talent when he was in junior high school. He was only fifteen years old. As a novice in track and field, he participated in the school's 220 yards and achieved a 22.9 second. From then on, Jesse Owens was spotted by the coach and started systematic training, embarking on the road of track and field.
In that "greatest 45 minutes", Jesse Owens broke five world records, one of which was the world record of 220 yards. At that time, he only took 20 seconds to run 220 yards. 220 yards can be said to be one of Jesse Owens' best events.
If 220 yards are converted into "meters", it is about 201 meters.
In other words, Jesse Owens once ran 201 meters in 20.3 seconds!
At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, Chen Qiang set a world record of 200 meters in just 21 seconds!
Chapter completed!
