Almighty Athlete Chapter 61: Four hundred meters to win another championship

The final of the men’s 4oo-meter sprint is held on the last day of the World Indoor Athletics Championships, and the final of the men’s 4-by-4oo-meter is held on the same day. The two games are only one and a half hours apart.

For the US team, there are two options for this day’s game, one is to fight for the gold medal of the 4oo meter sprint, and the other option is to strategically give up the 4oo meter sprint and go to sprint 4. Take the 4oo meters sprint gold medal.

In the 4oo rice competition, in addition to Zhang Guan, the other athletes who entered the final of the 4oo rice should have the strongest defending champion Ereni Francico.

Francisco is a Grenada athlete who once entered the final of the 4oom event of the Athens Olympics and achieved a good result of the fourth place. At that time, his score in the Athens Olympics finals was 44.66 seconds, or It's the top athlete in the world.

Of course, Francesco is determined to defend his title. He thought that his biggest match was Campbell, but he did not expect to kill a Zhang Guan halfway. Although the score of 45.63 seconds in the semifinals is not very high, it is already possible. I won a medal in this level of competition.

Francico is more concerned about the special running style of Zhang Guan. Francesco can feel that the Zhang Guan semi-final did not do its best, that is, there is still much room for improvement. Think of last year’s Zhang Guan Once ran 45.5o seconds abroad, Francico was still quite guilty.

Francico’s 4oo meter running method is very special. He is an athlete who mainly runs in the early stage. He started to run fast after starting, and then the second 100 meters will still run fast. In the third hundred meters, his degree is also very fast, and then lead to the last 1oo meters, but in the last 100 meters, due to the earlier physical exertion, the degree will slow down. His last 100 meters will take 12 seconds. . There are not many top athletes who use this running method.

In the final of the Athens Olympics, Francico was the first athlete to reach the final 1oo meters. In the last 1oo meters, Francico was faster than Varina of the United States by o.2 seconds, but he only got the fourth place, because Francico spent more time than Varina in the last 100 meters. It took o.86 seconds, but it was slower by o.66 seconds.

In terms of pertinence. Francisco’s running style is very restrained for athletes who have poor physical strength, because in the last 1oo meters, everyone can’t run fast, then Francico’s advantage in front is enough to let him win the championship; but if he encounters physical strength Very good athlete, one sprint in the last 100 meters. Francesco will be turned back.

Zhang Guan is clearly the best athlete in the world to sprint in the last 100 meters.

At 9:30 pm Moscow time, the final of the men’s 4oo-meter sprint officially began.

With a gunshot, the athletes start and run smoothly. After all, it is a 4oo-meter sprint race, and almost no athletes will go for a run. But the game has just begun, and many coaches have started to show signs.

"The Americans gave up the 4oo-meter sprint!" Yu Instructor sighed.

On the field, the American players who participated in the finals did not do their best, but it seemed like running a practice game, obviously giving up this gold medal. For the US team, they will participate in the 4-by-4oo finals an hour and a half later. They are reluctant to spend their energy on the single event of the 4oo m sprint.

Zhang Guan is still tepid and runs at his own pace, while Francico follows his usual style of running, and he ran quickly in the early stage.

Franco took the lead in the straight. In this segment, he was faster than Zhang Guan by about o.3 seconds.

"Going straight, I will try to use this distance to gain an advantage." Francico's degree has accelerated.

After all, straights are better than corners. Even if Zhang Guan hasn’t changed his rhythm, it is still slightly faster than the corners, but it’s still a little slower than Franco in Canada. It's just that Francesco's explosiveness is relatively average among 4oo meters. This also affected his performance in the straight.

This is the fastest segment of 4oo meters athletes. The athletes generally can still run to 11 seconds, but due to the starting position, the athletes seem to have some successes. This greatly affects the ornamental nature of the game.

At the end of 2oo meters, Francesco was slightly slower and began to adjust his rhythm. Although Francesco's explosive power is average, the cornering technique is still very good, and he is very good at adding in the corner, especially the third hundred meters. His degree is definitely the top class athlete in the world.

Under normal circumstances, Francesco’s third 100m time can also be maintained at about 11 seconds. His sprint point is about 23o meters, which is also his last chance to widen the gap with his opponent.

"This Francico ran fast in front! According to this calculation, it took a second and a half after his first 3oo Mila played Zhang Guan! But fortunately, with this kind of running, the last 100 meters must have no energy to sprint. "Guidance Yu only frowned slightly, but he was very relieved of Zhang Guan, because he knew that Zhang Guan could fully rely on the sprint of the last 100 meters to counter Franco.

Professionals who watched the battle also understood that the sprint of Francisco's forward-style running in the last 100 meters must be very slow, but the final sprint of Zhang Guan was surprisingly fast, so the focus of this game became How many advantages can Francisco achieve in the first three hundred meters, can the advantages he achieve make up for the disadvantages in the last hundred meters.

The so-called expert looks at the doorway, and the layman looks lively. Compared to professional sports coaches and athletes, the audience on the scene is obviously a group of laymen. They only saw Francico running fast in front. They only saw Francico leading the other athletes by a large margin and rushed in first. The final straight runway, and therefore, they gave cheers to Francico.

"Franco! Take the lead! Sprint Franco!" The on-site commentator shouted Franco's name loudly, and at this time, Zhang Guan also entered the last hundred meters. There is a gap of 1.5 seconds between the two.

In the 4oo-meter sprint race, o. The gap within 5 seconds is easy to make up in the last 100-meter sprint; if the gap is within 1 second, although the difficulty is a bit larger, it may still be in the final It's always overturned; but the 1.5 second gap is almost impossible to reverse.

Although Francico’s final 1oo meter is slower, it can almost reach 12.5 seconds, which is much better than the domestic athlete’s final 1oo meter 14 seconds away. If you want to narrow the gap of 1.5 seconds, the last 100 meters of Zhang Guan need to run within 11 seconds.

In the 4oo-meter sprint race, it is extremely difficult to run into the last 100 meters for 11 seconds. In addition to the athlete’s explosive power, the athlete needs a good physical reserve in the previous 3oo-meter. .

Two points, Zhang Guan is not lacking, he has both. After all, he only consumed half of the energy in the front 300 meters, so his last 100-meter sprint ran into 11 seconds, which was almost a matter of rigidity.

After entering the straight runway, Francico already felt a little weak, he knew that he would slow down immediately, and then, he could only stick to the end with inertia and strong will.

"The Zhang Guan should not be able to overtake me with such a big gap!" The idea flashed from Franco's mind, but at the same time, the narrator suddenly shouted Zhang Guan's name!

The audience in "Woo" made a startled voice, followed by a strong cry and cheers.

"What's the matter?" Francico felt the atmosphere change, but he didn't look around. His eyes were fixed on the finish line, because he felt that there was not much energy left, so he had to To concentrate, people tend to be more resilient when they are focused, so that they can continue to maintain a certain degree and rush to the end.

At this very moment, Zhang Guan caught up from behind and went side by side with Franco, and this side by side did not maintain even for a second. Zhang Guan passed directly by Franco.

"It's Zhang Guan! It seems faster than it was in the semifinals! He really didn't do his best in the semifinals!" Francico panicked. The most feared thing he encountered was an athlete with strong sprint ability.

Francisco’s physical strength has bottomed out. At this time, he can’t maintain the original explosive force at all, and his early running is also destined to cause this result. For Francico, every step forward now feels so difficult. Every step forward is clenching teeth, and every step forward is a struggle between willpower and physical strength.

In this physical state, if you are in a leading position, willpower will easily take the upper hand, and if it is overtaken, there will definitely be looseness in willpower, and the feeling of physical strength will become more obvious.

Francisco is still working very hard, but his degree has slowed down involuntarily, especially when Zhang Guan passed him, the confidence he had to win was hit by a heavy blow, which is directly reflected in the degree on.

"Zhang Guan! Exceeded! He completed the reversal at the last moment! Toward the finish line! To the line!" The commentator breathed out, and then said: "Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning the men's 4oo sprint!"

At this time, everyone turned their attention to the results column~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Guan won his first indoor 4oo m sprint championship with a score of 44.87 seconds, and ran again within 45 seconds, Francis Section 45.43 seconds, more than half a second slower than Zhang Guan, the third place is the Bahamas player Brown, the final score is 45.78 seconds.
