Orc Undead Sports Warrior
Chapter 243 The Second Gold Medal Has Finally Arrived
"set!"
As soon as the referee gave the starting signal, all the team members bent over, focused all their attention on their hearing, and put all their strength into the leg that would push off the ground at the start.
Just as the starting gun was about to fire, British athlete Ronnie suddenly left the starting blocks. At the same time he stood up, the referee fired the starting gun.
The other team members also hurriedly got up. Under such tense circumstances, the game had not yet started, and many team members subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Avoiding pressure is the instinctive psychological state of most people.
However, this relaxed state only lasted a few seconds before the brain quickly forced itself to recognize a fact: the competition would take place sooner or later, and what was bound to happen would eventually happen.
This feeling can make athletes nervous, and this emotional shift can cause them to feel tired without them realizing it.
"What's the point of getting a head start on such a long distance!"
Lu's mother remembers jumping up high off the sofa, as if asking Lu's father a question, or as if talking to herself.
"It's not very effective against strong or experienced players, but it's a victory if it can affect even one person. Once you get that shot, no one will dare to press the gun when the race starts again."
Just as the referee fired the shot to recall the athletes, the entire audience let out a sigh, as the emotions they had painstakingly built up were about to resurface.
"That kid is really cunning. If he had been even a little later, although he still wouldn't have succeeded, he could have easily made half the team think they had a normal start and then made them run dozens of meters. How insidious!"
Jiang Jianjun watched as the referee walked past the eight players with a yellow card in hand. He knew that any foul at the next start would result in disqualification, and that no one would dare to press the gun at this point.
The eight team members stood on the starting line again, and the field returned to calm.
On your marks, get set, and then fire the starting gun.
Lu Wei's reaction was like running a 200-meter dash, sprinting forward without holding back. In order to ensure that he could reach a high speed as soon as possible, Lu Wei's start also seemed to be like a 100-meter dash.
"This kid... he really dares to do reckless things!"
Wang Qiao sighed helplessly again, he hadn't expected Lu Wei to exert so much force at the start.
As soon as they entered the straightaway, the audience began to gasp in surprise. Lu Wei quickly caught up with "Mad Dog" Chris Brown, catching his opponent completely off guard.
Chris Brown immediately wanted to compete with Lu Wei, but unfortunately he was just a standard 400-meter athlete and couldn't start as aggressively as Lu Wei.
The two men remained locked in a stalemate for several dozen meters before Lu Wei gradually pulled away from his opponent.
During this time, Jiang Jianjun, who was watching from the stands, developed a sense of admiration for Lu Wei. Although the pace was a bit fast, the stride length, frequency, and body movement were all perfectly integrated, making him seem like a veteran runner who had been running for a long time.
In the semifinals, Rashon Merritt was defeated by Lu Wei, who took advantage of his lane position and silently eliminated him at the last moment.
He originally planned to just follow the team for the first half and not fall behind, but he found that the situation on the field was not as he had imagined.
Seeing that Lu Wei had started to accelerate in the first half of the race, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly sped up to catch up.
This acceleration almost changed the rhythm of the other team members. In such a game, everyone's nerves are on edge, and they all start to develop countermeasures at the slightest sign of trouble.
Like Lu Wei, Wariner also puts a lot of effort into the start. In the past two years, Merritt's rise has made Wariner feel a great sense of crisis. In response to his own teammate's excellent finishing ability, Wariner deliberately speeds up in the first 100 meters during training, and his tactics in the first 100 meters coincide with those of Lu Wei.
"My God, are the players on the field running the 400 meters like they're running the 100 meters? Lu Wei quickly caught up with Chris Brown in lane 5. This tactic made his opponent very uncomfortable, but even with acceleration, he couldn't shake him off!"
Yang Li was excited.
As we approached the first straight and were about to enter the curve, everyone slowed down slightly. This is the area where skill comes into play; if you have excellent cornering technique, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort in this section.
Varina was very fast at this distance, and as the creator of the third-best time in the world for this event, he once called this corner the "Varina Zone".
At this point, the players on the field were not far apart in this area. At this distance, everyone's energy reserves were basically depleted, and the only way to gain more energy was to break down lactic acid...
"As usual, Varina entered the straight first... no, Lu Wei is now almost a meter ahead of him. Lu Wei, hold on! Hundreds of millions of people across the country are watching you. You must leave your glory in China!"
"Warner seems to be at a disadvantage in the competition with Lu Wei. Merritt is ranked 3rd in lane 3, and the other athletes have been left behind by these three. My God, Warner seems to be about to give up. As a Chinese commentator, I sincerely hope that all athletes can perform to their best, but the best winner would be Lu Wei!"
Yang Li's emotional commentary had already drawn Lu's mother into the game, while Lu's father seemed a bit helpless, but everyone's attention was now focused on the match.
Varina clearly pushed too hard in the early stages. His tactic was originally designed to counter Merritt, and he might have succeeded if it weren't for Lu Wei. However, he didn't expect that using the same tactic would cause both of them to expend a lot of energy in the early stages. At this point, Lu Wei's anaerobic capacity actually made him feel powerless.
In the broadcast footage, Varina's face appeared somewhat distorted behind his sunglasses, and the buildup of lactic acid made his expression look strained.
Lu Wei wasn't in much better shape either, but he stubbornly clung to his rhythm and refused to relax at all. It was these two players at last year's World Championships who made him realize the powerlessness he felt against such formidable opponents.
At that time, I had actually performed beyond my usual level, but there was still a considerable gap between me and them.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot show weakness at this time. Only victory can wash away the sense of defeat brought on by last year's loss.
And Bolt, he'll beat you sooner or later!
Lu Wei maintained his pace; at this point, even a single step forward would have unexpected benefits. With about 60 meters to go before the finish line, Lu Wei had gradually widened the gap between himself and Wariner. Although the gap didn't seem large, Wariner knew in his heart that at this rate, he wouldn't be able to overtake his opponent.
The confidence he had built up over four years of undefeated streaks in major competitions did not help him at this moment. No one could help him at this time, and it seemed that today's competition was about to end.
Under these circumstances, Varina began to slow down. Struggling with the thought of losing the championship and with lactic acid piling up in his body, his mentality suddenly began to crumble. Running like this was tantamount to giving up on the championship.
One gritted their teeth and persevered, while the other gave up. At this moment, the change in their relative speed was obvious, and the effort accumulated over 350 meters paid off.
Even someone with no sports experience can see that Lu Wei is going to win!
Unexpectedly, when all hope seemed lost, Wariner, who had been undefeated for four years, handed over the championship to Lu Wei in such a way. As Lu Wei crossed the finish line in a sea of joy, Wariner slowed down and became more frustrated, even as Merritt overtook him from behind.
Fortunately, he had accumulated a significant advantage in the early stages, which allowed him to cross the finish line third. Just as he crossed the finish line, his teammate David Neville made a diving leap and crossed the finish line.
If he had been just 10 meters shorter, he definitely wouldn't have made it to the podium today.
Lu Wei crossed the finish line, and he was so excited that he kept waving his fist at the audience.
Amidst the sea of joy in the stands, Feng Yong and Yu Wei clasped hands tightly, finally securing their second gold medal.
