“世界第一飞人”是对男子100米跑世界冠军的一种约定俗成的称谓,这种称谓之所以引人注目,是因为它标志着人的体能在速度方面所能达到的极限。早在本世纪30年代,柏林奥运会四枚金牌得主、美国黑人运动员杰西·欧文斯就曾跑出了10秒20的成绩,当时有人预言,这一成绩将是百米的极限。需要说明的是,如果采用电子计时,欧文斯的成绩大约为10秒38。然而,他当时跑出的这个成绩没有借助于起跑器,而只是在跑道上挖出了两个帮助起跑的小坑,因此,速度至少要受0.10秒的影响;此外,当时他脚下也不是富有弹性的塑胶跑道,而是煤渣跑道,因此,速度又要受到0.10秒的影响;如果再考虑到海拔高度、又旧又重的跑鞋、不很科学的训练方法以及少而又少的训练时间等因素,那么欧文斯在那个年代所跑出的这一成绩确实可以算是一个奇迹。正是基于此,他被认为是本世纪 “World No. 1 Flying Trapeze ” is a commonly used appellation for the men’s 100-meter runner-up world champion, because it marks the limits of human speed in terms of speed. As early as the 1930s, four gold medalists at the Berlin Olympics and Afro-American athlete Jesse Owens ran 10 seconds 20 when some predicted that the result would be the limit of 100 meters. It should be noted that, if using electronic timing, Owens score of about 10 seconds 38. However, he was running out of this result without resorting to the starters, but only dug up two rungs on the runway pit, therefore, the speed of at least subject to 0.10 seconds; In addition, when he was not rich at the foot Flexible plastic runway, but the cinder runway, therefore, the speed has to be 0.10 seconds; if we take into account the altitude, the old and heavy running shoes, not very scientific training methods and less and less training time Factors, then Owens ran out of this era that really can be considered a miracle. It is on this basis that he is regarded as this century
