Chapter 482: The 100-meter record set again
21:30 pm.
It was drizzling in the Icahn Stadium. The rain has been falling since the afternoon and turned into moderate to heavy rain, which affected the normal progress of the New York Grand Prix today.
Fortunately, after 20 o'clock, the rain finally became lighter. Although the track on the ground was water stained and there were drizzles in the air, it basically did not affect the athletes' competition.
At this time, the audience had already stood up and nervously waited for the upcoming 100-meter race for the men.
A week ago, news came that Ye Qin broke the men's 100m world record, and many American track and field fans were looking forward to the local American sprinters being able to create brilliance.
Since Asafaville broke the Maurice Green's record of 100 meters in 2005, American athletes have not been able to achieve particularly outstanding performance in recent years.
Originally, Jax Terling was still a top player who could compete with Asafaville, but after the ban on drug incident broke out, Jax Terling no longer paid attention to it.
Jason Gaby is currently the best player in the United States who is most likely to break the world record. They are all looking forward to Jason Gaby's explosion, running within 9.80 seconds, winning the Olympic championship and winning the world record...
On the big screen on the scene, the list of Group A of the men's 100m competition for the New York Grand Prix on May 31, 2008 has appeared in front of everyone:
First, Monzawo Edwards, United States;
Second, Sean Claude, United States;
The third road, Davis Patton, United States;
The fourth road, Yusé Bott, Jamaica;
The fifth road, Jason Gaby, United States;
The Sixth Road, Michael Rogers, United States;
The seventh road, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;
The eighth road, Leroy Dixon, United States;
Although there are many contestants in the men's 100m event this year in the New York Grand Prix and are divided into group A, basically everyone's focus is on Group A, because among the athletes in Group A, Jason Gaby, the number one in the 100-meter 100 meters in the United States, and Yusé Bot from Jamaica, who just ran an amazing result of 9.76 seconds this year.
Many people in the United States still don’t believe in the score of 9.76 seconds, especially some people in the track and field industry. They even joked in the media that the Jamaica Invitational level and the competition is not formal enough, etc.
There are also a lot of news about Ye Qin breaking the world record in the track and field Open, and they don’t really believe Ye Qin can do it, or they are skeptical about the results.
This is due to the arrogance and prejudice of a track and field powerhouse, so many people are watching the game on site today, and they also want to know whether the Jamaican is as strong as before Asafaville.
The rain no longer came in the track and field. Although the ground was a little wet, the good drainage system did not have any water accumulation, and everyone was waiting for it.
Jason Gaby stood in front of the fifth starting line, staring straight at the finish line in front, and did not look at Yusé Bot beside him. Although he was watching the man's 100-meter score at 9.76 seconds, he often felt that he was a little unbelievable.
What he is thinking about now is Ye Qin. Ye Qin set a new world record for men's 100 meters, and his 9.73 second was one percent faster than the best Asafaville once created.
This is a very terrifying number. At present, there are only four or five athletes who can run to 9 seconds 80 at legal wind speed, and there is no one in it.
He originally had enough confidence in Ye Qin and Yusai Bot. After all, Ye Qin's performance in the man's 100m last year was not much faster than him, and he was even better than Ye Qin and Yusai Bot in the man's 200m.
However, he could see that since last year's Osaka World Championships, Yusé Bot has changed a lot.
Not to mention anything else, it is just a single appearance. At this time, Yusé Bott stood beside him, which could already bring him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Compared to last year's Osaka World Championships, Yusé Bot's muscle lines were far less clear than they are now. In terms of height and size, he is now like a streamlined cheetah, strong and powerful, and every muscle seems to be filled with explosive power.
With such a height and such a body shape, especially Jason Gaby and Yusé Bott have fought again, it can be clearly felt that the changes that have taken place in Yusé Boll in the past six months.
“onyourmarks!”
The commander on the sideline shouted the call for the players to take their seats.
In the broadcast sound on the scene, the host shook softly, guiding the entire stadium into a quiet atmosphere.
In front of the starting line, eight players slowly leaned over and squatted down. The reporters from the fox TV station on the sidelines were staring at the every move of the players in front of the starting line. At the commentary seat where the media went, the two fox sports commentators also held their breath and were waiting quietly.
Jason Gaby's signature index fingers raised up and pointed to the sky, as if he was the first. Yusé Bott leaned over and stepped on the runner, touched the cross on his neck, looked at the sky, and his chest was slashing ten times, and he prayed silently.
“Set!”
Bang!
A clear match gunfire sounded.
Before the starting line, eight players ran out like wild horses.
The third lane Davis Patton started very fast. The American athlete was very close to the Jamaican star Asafaville. He started and accelerated his learning from the other party's explosive start. He rushed out of the starting line at the moment the gunfire sounded, and gained a certain starting advantage in just a few steps.
But at this moment, he felt the fourth wave beside him suddenly swept through him like a hurricane. The extremely tall black Jamaican athlete seemed to be accelerating and soon surpassed him.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
Jason Gaby has been training for a long time since he started, and now it can be said that he is not much weaker than other players. In the first three steps of starting, he can still keep up with Yusé Bot beside him, but after three steps, from ten to twenty meters away, he found Yusé Bot gradually heading out from his side.
His stride frequency was very fast, and he was rapidly increasing his speed, but the stride length of Yusé Bot next to him was too amazing, and the stride frequency was also very fast. After almost twenty meters, Yusé Bot caught up with Davis Patton, who had just started and accelerated the fastest, and ran to the first place.
Thirty meters, Yusé Bott is already clearly ahead of other players and is rapidly increasing his speed and running towards the finish line.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters...
The speed of athletes on the field has gradually increased to the highest level.
"Damn it, how could it be so fast?!"
Jason Gaby clenched his steel teeth, and all the veins on his neck and forehead were bulging. Thirty meters later, his speed gradually increased. After Yusé Bot took the lead, he was the only one who followed and followed Yusé Bot, but he found that after he was surpassed by Yusé Bot in the first half, no matter how his speed increased, the gap between the two was widening and not getting closer.
Jason Gaby's memory was very clear when he played against Asafaville, and he also fell behind after the start, but in the middle and second half of the 50 or 60 meters, he was always able to gradually increase his speed, then slowly approach the opponent, and finally surpass the opponent.
But Yusé Bott...
Facing Yusé Bott obviously couldn't do this. He tried hard to speed up and improve his speed, but the distance between the two on the track was always maintained, and even further expanded, and could not be approached at all.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters...
The whole audience was already in full swing.
Cross the line!
The banner in front of the 100-meter finish line was first broken by Yusé Bot, who just glanced at the timing card on the sidelines, and then he opened his arms and ran on the track and field without any reduction in speed.
Many Jamaicans in the United States shouted loudly, and even many American spectators couldn't help but applaud the Jamaican athlete in the white sprint suit running first.
Too fast!
Leading everyone else, and a big lead!
But now these are not the key points, the key points are...
Yusé Bor broke the world record again!
The timing card displays the result is 9.72 seconds!
Chapter completed!
