Almighty Athlete Chapter 21: Win Gatling again
Osaka.
As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, it was surrounded by a large number of media reporters, and at the same time there were dozens of times more fans.
Zhang Guan never thought that he has such a high popularity in Japan, as if he is a big star, which makes Zhang Guan feel a little floating. In subsequent interviews before the match, Zhang Guan did not encounter unruly reporters.
After the match day, Zhang Guan also met a lot of acquaintances, such as Habebe of Kazakhstan, Chenofe of Hazardoust, Asahi of Asahara and Naoki of Tsukahara, etc. As for the American team, Morris Green did not come, but Justin Gatling did, and a player named Tyson Gay also appeared on the court.
Zhang Guan knows that after Bolt became famous, Tyson Gay was called "the world's second trapeze" because he was second only to Bolt. He is the second person after Bolt to run within 9.7o seconds in 100 meters. He is also regarded by the Americans as the successor of legendary track and field superstar Michael Johnson.
It is worth mentioning that Tyson Gay is also a very technical athlete and a part-time runner.
Like Bolt, Tyson Gay’s earliest practice was also a 2oo-meter sprint, and later added a 1oo-meter sprint. Unlike Bolt, Tyson Gay also developed a 4oo meter sprint technique. In 2o1o, Tyson Gay became the first player in the world to simultaneously run into the 1oo meter ten seconds, 2oo meter 2o seconds and 4oo meters 45 seconds mark. Although Tyson Gay is not the world's top special 4oo meter athlete in the 4oo meter event, it is undeniable that he is indeed an all-around sprinter.
In the course of history, at the end of the World Athletics Finals, Tyson Gay really rose, and at this time he is only a 23-year-old green player, has not yet competed at the world level Gai scored even in the face, even when he was younger than Zhang Guan, Guy seemed a little scared.
Zhang Guan is after all the world record holder.
And he is a native Asian player. So he undoubtedly has the highest popularity on this site, even the native Japanese veteran Xuanji has a lower popularity than Zhang Guan.
The 100-meter sprint is still ranked behind the 11-meter hurdles.
Liu Feiren's condition is very good today, but his old opponent, American Alan Johnson, did not come to participate. This is more or less a pity. Other opponents are not worth mentioning in front of Liu Feiren. Liu Feier also left a hand in the final, but still won the championship with a good result of 13.12 seconds.
The next is the long-awaited 100m trapeze battle. The Zhang Guan against the old opponent Gatling is also the main highlight of this IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.
Gatling's condition this year is much better than last year. In these two months, the track and field competitions held in the United States have repeatedly achieved good results. It is also true that he decided to participate in the Osaka Grand Prix and once again challenged Zhang Guan.
In the face of Gatling’s challenge, Zhang Guan seems very calm. Although I have been practicing 2oo meters these days, it may be because of the large amount of practice on weekdays. The status of Zhang Guan is still very good. The state of 79 is enough for Zhang Guan to run within 9.85 seconds. This result can be won in the general world-class track and field grand prix.
Gatlin glanced at Zhang Guan, then raised his head and closed his eyes slowly. Scenes flashed through his mind.
Gatlin remembered the Athens Olympics. He went to the finals in general. He saw that Green was consuming too much energy in the semi-finals. At that time, he could even be sure that he had won the Olympic gold medal. In the process, he is working very hard to compete with other athletes for the second!
Gatlin remembered last year’s Yokohama All-Star Game. He traveled thousands of miles from the United States to Japan to prove his strength to the world, and then he worked hard again to compete with other athletes for the second!
"Second? It's second again! Go to his forked second!" Gatlin opened his eyes fiercely: "I'm here to fight for the first, not for the **** second! Zhang Guan. I'm today I will do my best, I must defeat you! I want the champion!"
The commander signaled that the athletes were ready, then shouted the password, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger.
Zhang Guan is in a good state and rushed out the first time. The starting reaction time is very good.
However, Gatling used a squeeze gun tactic and achieved success. He was the first to break out of the starting line and achieved a leading advantage at the first moment.
Today's Gatling is obviously well prepared. His increase is very fast. He is obviously ready to use the pressure gun to run the lead and continue to expand his advantage. Zhang Guan was not to be outdone, it was almost close to Gatling, and there was still a slight gap between the two when they started.
The spectator’s heart suddenly mentioned his throat. At the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan and Gatling were about to meet short-handedly. This looks very exciting, and according to this situation, the following game will be more exciting.
After forty meters, the athlete’s degree has already mentioned the peak. At this time, for top athletes, the contest has just begun. However, there is still a slight gap between Zhang Guan and Gatling at the start.
Fifty meters, Zhang Guan still has not caught up with Gatling.
At sixty meters, the two of them are clearly ahead of other players, but Zhang Guao is still slightly behind Gatling.
Zhang Guan has noticed that Gatling today is a bit different, and his condition is very good, so at this time, his degree is very fast, just like himself.
"When was Gatling so strong! Did he hit the chicken blood? I couldn't keep up with him." Zhang Guan was annoyed. Then he suddenly remembered that in the previous two battles with Gatling, he took the physical potion and the state potion, and both broke the world record. But in those two battles in the world, Gatling has shown extremely fast degrees, and Zhang Guan believes that Gatling is weak, just because breaking the world record is indeed faster than Gatling.
"If it weren't for me, Gatlin was the 100-meter champion of the Athens Olympics! I was underestimating him before." Zhang Guan realized this and then focused more.
The members of the coaching staff watching from a distance are equally nervous.
From the start to the present, in just five or six seconds, there was already a trace of sweat on the forehead of the guide. He clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he was cheering for Zhang Guan silently in his heart. .
Your coach hasn’t felt this nervous for a long time. Since the Athens Olympics, Zhang Guan has experienced smooth sailing. Leading all the way to winning the championship. Today, although Zhang Guan's condition is good, Gatling's condition is also good. Yu Gui felt a long absence of tension and excitement.
Not far away, Gatlin’s coach Graham’s expression was similar to that of Yu Gui. But his heart is much more active than the guidance.
"While the Zhang Guan today is not as good as when it broke the world record last year, it is still very fast! I really don’t know how the Chinese are trained. A yellow man can be so fast! We have already used that method Yes, but it is still impossible to defeat Zhang Guan." Graham thought.
Graham is a famous American coach. He has coached several championship-level American players, including Tim Montgomery, who broke the world record in 9.78 seconds, and Marion Jones, the legendary American flying woman.
At the same time, Graham is also a coach with a "former conviction". The so-called "former convict" refers to the athletes he teaches have precedents for using illegal drugs, including Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones.
On the track, two athletes have entered the final 20m contest.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! I can't lose!" Zhang Guan is trying to mobilize his emotions, and his feet are also more violent.
Finally, he caught up with Gatling in this second.
The two are in parallel!
"Zhang Guan is catching up! He really is catching up! But I won't lose!" Gatling felt that the slight lead at the start was gone, and there was no slight panic. On the contrary, it appears more motivated.
The world’s highest competition is only ten meters, and the last ten meters, for two top athletes, it doesn’t even take 1 second to run.
The win and loss is only in a flash, the two athletes are still fighting, they will not give up, they are eager to win!
"The end is over, fight!" Zhang Guan made a line-crossing motion, his body leaned forward violently, and his head stretched forward. At this moment, Zhang Guan almost lost the balance of the body. At the moment when he crossed the finish line, he had to twist his body to maintain balance. Zhang Guan at this time is not yet known. Who wins in the end?
Gatlin also made a line-crossing action at the finish line. He didn’t look at Zhang Guan. He only had the finish line in his eyes. His burning eyes were full of yearning for the champion.
Red line!
"Did I win?" The idea came out of both Zhang Guan and Gatling's mind.
However, from God's perspective, Zhang Guan seems to be ahead.
Both Zhang Guan and Gatling slowed down. The two looked at the scoreboard almost simultaneously.
Gatling, 9.83 seconds.
Zhang Guan is 9.82 seconds, Zhang Guan wins with o.o1 seconds!
Then the cheers rang out immediately in the national team’s camp, while the American team was a bit frustrated.
Seeing this result, Gatling sighed slightly: "It's second! Damn it! I lost again!"
The process for athletes to take urine specimens is very strict. First, they must take off their clothes, not just the pants, but also the top. According to the regulations, the pants must be taken off below the knee, and the top should be lifted below the chest. This is to prevent athletes from hiding specimens in their clothes in advance. At least two sets of containers for specimen collection must be prepared in advance. Each set must have at least two containers, which must be transparent and unopened, so that athletes can observe whether there is anything else in it. Before taking the specimen, the athlete chooses one set of containers for use.
In the process of taking the specimen, the staff will hand the container to the athlete. The athlete will use one of the containers to collect the specimen, and then pour part of the collected specimen into another container, and then seal the container by themselves. Although the whole process is supervised by the staff, the staff will never handle it, and it is all done by the athletes themselves. This is also to avoid the staff secretly mixing some other things in the specimen. Then the staff will put a seal on the container in front of the athlete, and even let the athlete write or mark the seal~IndoMTL.com~ and put it in the storage box of the copy, all of which must also be under the athlete's sight monitoring get on.
Two bottles of specimens, one of which will be used for urinalysis and the other will be used as a preserved specimen. Once the athlete is found to have used the illegal drug during the urine test, another bottle of the remaining specimen will be inspected. During the re-test, from the sampling and unsealing to the subsequent inspection process, the athlete or coach Was allowed to witness the whole process.
The whole process above is complicated to say. More than 30 operation specifications can be listed in detail, but once the athletes are more proficient, the operation is also very fast. Zhang Guan also experienced multiple specimen collections, so it quickly became a specimen collection process.
Soon, the staff completed all specimen collection work for athletes who needed to be sampled. He placed the specimens in a special box and prepared to send them to the testing center.
But he just walked a few steps, a man with a mask next to him suddenly rushed over, grabbed the box containing the athlete's specimen, and ran away with his legs. (To be continued.)
