After thirty meters, Naoki Tsukahara fell slightly behind Huang Kaiwen and Powell. His strength lies in his explosive start and excellent initial phase.
But today, he was competing against Huang Kaiwen.
Even if the team leader asked him to ignore outside information,
he couldn't help but compare himself to Huang Kaiwen, who was also Asian.
He lagged a step behind Huang Kaiwen in both starts, and his mentality began to falter.
After more than twenty meters, seeing Huang Kaiwen seemingly reserve his strength, he felt a bit discouraged.
This moment of mental slackness brought about frightening consequences.
Not only did he fall behind the leading group, but the competitors behind him caught up.
Richard Thompson and Francis Obikwelu overtook Naoki Tsukahara one after another.
The commentators at Tokyo TV Station, seeing Tsukahara fall behind, had already given up on him, shouting quickly: "Yes! As expected of Kevin..."
