dipping

Sugiuchiくん、dipping shotの解答ありがとう。「低めのライナーシュート」のことなのですね。

ボルト選手が金メダルを獲得した男子100mを伝えた以下の記事にもdippingが出ていました。頭が下がっていますが、これも「低めの直線」なのですね?(UG)

             

PS 湯河原はどうでしたか?愛知に来たGPくんにとっては「バラ色の学会」だったようですが...(フフフ)

Bolt, as ever, was not the fastest off the blocks and for a few seconds looked as though his title might have gone.

But he puffed out his cheeks, looked dead ahead, and by the time he had glanced a few times to his left to see his rivals disappearing behind him, he was dipping for the line and breaking his Olympic record, his eyes on the clock as he did so.

Dancing round the stadium in delight, the hero performed his trademark 'Lightning Bolt' pose, the iconic image for which he will always be remembered.

Four years after dazzling the world in Beijing, 'Lightning' had struck twice.
