Hey there! I'm Chris-X from Germany. Welcome to my International Track and Field speedrun, completed on September 16, 2016.
It's a single segment run on hard difficulty (that means you must have better results to qualify).
The goal is to complete all events by beating the qualification time/distance/height and win the championship.
The run was recorded with Elgato Game Capture HD.
This run is approximately 9 seconds faster than my old run.
The improvement is based on better tactics in High Jump and better execution in Triple Jump.
100m Sprint:
This is very easy. Only have a good start and hit the run buttons (circle and triangle) as fast as possible.
I use a text marker to do so, most people use a lighter.
Long Jump:
I only need one valid attempt farther than 8 meters. The other two attempts are intentional fouls to save time.
Shot Put:
In this event a foul saves a lot of time, so it's important to beat the 21 meters in the first attempt.
100m Free Style:
It's not important to be that fast here because the computer opponents are very slow and you have to wait for them.
110m Hurdle:
This time I nearly beat the world record. But that isn't important because I have to wait for my opponents again.
High Jump:
I choose the lowest height possible (2.20 meters) to save time. My 2nd and 3rd attempt were fouls because that is faster.
Hammer:
Same tactic like shot put.
Triple Jump:
I beat the 16.50 meters in my first attempt, which is faster compared to my old run.
Javelin:
Nothing more to say here.
Pole Vault:
This time I didn't commit fouls. A successful jump saves a second due to waiting time.
Discus:
Nothing more to say here.
