Chapter 206 Sports Technology and National Influence

Sports performance has always been linked to a country's economy and level of development. In the top ten Olympic medals in the Muggle world, there are generally the following eight countries.

China, America, Russia, France, England, Japan, Germany, Italy.

Those who are politically sensitive should not find it difficult to find that these eight countries are the five permanent members of the UN Security Council who were the five largest victorious countries in the Second World War, and the three major countries that actively provoked and lost the Second World War. Axis powers.

The world pattern established by the Second World War still maintains its influence in the sports world. In fact, if we look at issues from the perspective of the Second World War, we will have our own unique understanding.

For this reason, Lockhart and the Red Phantom Society have always regarded the development of sports magic technology as part of the plan to expand the influence of the United Kingdom and the Red Phantom Society as a peaceful evolution of Europe.

All kinds of sports equipment in the sports world have a huge influence on the game, and the higher the level of competitive competition, the greater the impact of sports equipment.

Know the year 2021 before Lockhart's time travel.Most of the world records in swimming competitions were created in 2008 and 2010, and the results of athletes are far from the world records.

One of the most important reasons is that since October 1999, FINA has officially allowed athletes to wear shark skin swimsuits, and various high-tech technologies represented by shark skin swimsuits have reached a peak in the three years from 2008 to 2010. peak.I don't know how many world records have been refreshed by athletes wearing various high-tech swimsuits in recent years.

In May 2010, FINA banned high-tech swimsuits around the world. Since then, the various swimming world records that have been continuously broken in the three years from 5 to 2008 have become something out of reach of most athletes.

2019年10月12日，是一个永载马拉松运动史册的日子，奥地利维也纳当地时间早上10:15左右，在近2万名观众和工作人员呐喊助威声中，马拉松世界纪录保持者基普乔格以平均2:50的配速跑了将近两小时以后，最终以1:59:40的成绩跑过终点！
For the first time, human beings broke through the score in the marathon to less than two hours.Using this speed to run the 3000 meters or 1000 meters in the university can also get full marks, and Kipchoge ran the entire marathon at this speed.

Being able to create such a great achievement is not only due to Kipchoge's own personal struggle, but also largely depends on the power of technology.

A record 41 rabbits (pace runners and runners) were used in this race, including American long-distance runner Chelimo, Ethiopian cutting-edge Barga, European half-marathon record holder Wanders, and American 1500-meter Olympic champion Sen. Well-known athletes such as Trovitz and Japanese [-]-meter star Kota Murayama.

Breaking 2 and Kipchoge's own appeal have made a large number of top athletes willing to play rabbits for them.And they strictly adopted a V-shaped queue during the run.

In addition to breaking the wind, it will keep Kipchoge in the air vortex generated on both sides of the V-shaped formation, artificially creating a downwind environment for him.

In addition, the shoes under Kipchoge's feet are also the top priority for him to achieve a second-breaking result.

In this game, except for Kipchoge, all the players are wearing the hottest pink top racing shoes - Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%, while Kipchoge is wearing a white NEXT% upgrade.

The ZoomX midsole of this shoe is further thickened, especially a pair of circular button-like structures appear on the forefoot, and a large number of cushioning carbon plates are built in.

Due to the excellent performance of this kind of running shoes, in January 2020, the World Athletics Federation has to issue regulations on running shoes for the event to impose certain restrictions on the shoes of athletes participating in the marathon:

The thickness of the midsole of all running shoes must not exceed 40 mm.The shoe must not have more than one rigid insert plate (regardless of material) which may run the full length or part of the length of the shoe, or in more than one section, provided that the sections are all on the same level and do not overlap.Any style of running shoes must be on the market for 4 months before athletes can use them in competitions.

Since then, no one has been able to come close to the world record set by Kipchoge. Even the top athletes can hardly achieve within two hours and five minutes.

Everything is constantly illustrating the huge influence of technology on sports performance, and Quidditch is a sport that directly uses tools to compete, and the performance of the broomstick has no weaker influence on the game than the players themselves.

If in the future, in Quidditch, the most popular game in the magic world, the four British Quidditch teams, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, can all achieve excellent results.

If all high-achieving teams used broomsticks designed and produced by the British broomstick company of Azkaban, the influence of the British wizarding community would be expanded.

As for the broom designed and produced by the Azkaban Broomstick Company, the British wizarding community has made more than one.

Whether it is women's daily necessities such as cosmetics, or various alcoholic beverages, or various supplies such as potions, medicines, and herbs.

The British magic community is taking advantage of its first-mover advantages in combining technology and magic to challenge various countries on the European continent.

The process is somewhat similar to the Muggle world's dumping for monopoly purposes by relying on losses, but this approach in the British wizarding world actually does not lose money, there is no way, Muggle science and technology have too great an advantage in mass production.

During the visit of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, most of the hospitality items were mass-produced products from the factories of Azkaban Corporation.

Bottled and canned butter beer and other alcoholic beverages taste better, are more hygienic, and are cheaper than traditional privately produced beverages in the wizarding world.

These products will continue to appear in the Three Guns Tournament, related advertisements will be broadcast on live TV during the game, and Azkaban will also send some people to cooperate with bars and restaurants in the European continent.

Providing them with better and cheaper alcohol service will, in the future, be an important way for the British wizarding community to have an overall impact on the European wizarding economy and culture.

In addition to these, there will be various other things entering various stores in the European magic world. This Triwizard Tournament will be a grand event for the British wizarding world to expand its influence to the outside world.
