Almighty Athlete Chapter 70: Become a brush achievement player?
This men’s 100m trapeze battle is hailed as the most intense game in the history of the Golden League. Having won the first Zhang Guan not only broke the world record for men’s 100m sprint, but also reached the 70-second mark. Powell ran a personal best of 76 seconds. Montgomery’s 80 seconds just returned can be said to be a perfect comeback. Even the fourth "Africa Zhang Guan" Fasuba ran for 85 seconds, while the fifth Sean Crawford scored 88 seconds. This transcript even exceeds the level of the Olympic finals.
With the end of the 100-meter aircraft war, the morning game is all over. After a short break, the first game in the afternoon is the men’s 400-meter sprint.
The 400-meter sprint event is also strong. For example, the United States team, in the indoor track and field championships a few months ago, sent out second-tier athletes, while in the Golden League, they are all first-tier and even top-level athletes. The 400-meter first flying man Jeremy Varina and the Athens Olympics silver medal winner Otis Harris will both play.
Jamaica, the second strongest sprinter, sent veterans Michael Blackwood and Brandon Simpson. Among them, Blackwood was the champion of the 400-meter sprint in the World Championships and World Athletics Grand Prix from 2002 to 2003. And Simpson also reached the 400 meters final in the Athens Olympics.
In addition, it is worth noting that Bahamian star Christopher Brown and Canadian star Christopher Taylor.
In the broadcaster’s studio, the host is chatting with a guest about the upcoming men’s 400m race. This guest is a black man. He is the legendary flying man on the 400m sprint. 400m And Michael Johnson, the world record holder for the 200-meter sprint.
Since retiring, Michael Johnson has lost a lot of advertising endorsements, but he has not been idle for a day. His main job now is to travel to and from major track and field events as a guest and mascot. For example, in the last gold medal in track and field held in China last September, Michael Johnson attended as a guest. Also made a considerable appearance fee.
Following the upcoming 400-meter sprint project, Michael Johnson, as the world record holder, naturally has the most say.
This matter. In the studio, the host and Michael Johnson are still discussing the topic is still Zhang Guan.
"70 seconds, this is really a terrible number." Michael Johnson continued: "Last year, in the track and field gold grand prix held in China, I once witnessed the Zhang Guan running out of 72 seconds. At that time I I was thinking when Zhang Guan could reach the 970 second mark, but I didn’t expect it to be done this year! But I’m not surprised. According to my guess, he can actually run this result long ago, just in the first half of this year. There is no big game."
"Yes, with a 70-second result, Zhang Guan is the well-deserved world's first flying man! I think this world record is probably only broken by himself! But the next 400-meter sprint event. Zhang Guan still has to play, Johnson Sir, do you think Zhang Guan can win the 400-meter sprint?" the host asked.
Johnson thought for two seconds, and then said: "I think it is difficult. 400 meters and 100 meters are completely different projects. If Zhang Guan goes to run 200 meters, I think he is very likely. Winning the championship, but it’s really difficult at 400 meters. There are many successful runners in the sprint, such as Karl Lewis, like me, but Karl Lewis only runs 100 meters and 200 meters. And I just run 200 meters and 400. Meters. I also tried to run 100 meters in the past, and Lewis also tried 400 meters, but the results were very unsatisfactory."
The host reviewed the information in his hand, and then said: "I have a copy here. Zhang Guan participated in the 400-meter sprint event at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in the first half of this year. He once ran for 45 seconds. At that time, his score was 87 seconds, and according to records, his best 400-meter sprint was 50 seconds last year. This seems to be a very good result."
"Yes." Johnson nodded: "This result is placed in the general international grand prix. It is enough to win the championship, and in the next game, if there is no Jeremy Varina, I may be optimistic about Zhang Guan, but with Varina participating, other athletes may only be able to compete for a second place!"
"Jeremy Varina? So you are very optimistic about him?" the host asked.
“In 400m sprint, besides technology, speed endurance is the most needed. Varina’s explosive power and extreme speed are average, but the speed endurance is excellent, he is probably the most speed endurance I have seen. Great athlete." Johnson said.
"How about that compared to when you were back then?" The host asked a question with pitfalls.
Johnson smiled: "When I was as big as Varina, I didn't have such a good level of skill. However, in terms of explosiveness and extreme speed, Varina is still a bit inferior, otherwise I believe Varie Na can also achieve world-class achievements in the 200-meter sprint!"
Although Johnson did not answer directly, the implicit meaning was that Varina was not as good as himself.
"Okay, there is already a picture in front, let's turn the camera to the scene and watch the 400-meter dash race below!"
The lens at this time happened to be aimed at the exit of the athlete, and it happened that the Zhang Guan came out from the inside. Then, the audience stood up one after another and gave Zhang Guan a warm applause.
This applause is very grand, as if welcoming the hero who thought the triumphant return, but Zhang Guan feels something is wrong, he has participated in too many games, and has received a lot of applause, but I heard this before the game The applause of the atmosphere made Zhang Guan feel inexplicable.
"The game hasn't started yet, why does this feel like celebrating my victory?" Zhang Guan secretly said.
At this moment, the voice of the dj on the scene answered the doubts of Zhang Guan: "Zhang Guan played! He will participate in the 400-meter sprint of the current Golden League! He is also the first to participate in two of the first Golden League at the same time. Athletes of the event, in the next game, no matter what his achievements, he will make history!"
There was endless applause again at the "Wah La La La" scene.
Zhang Guan frowned angrily: "Whatever the achievements, it will create history? I am here to win the championship, but not to win achievements! I am also the world’s first flying man anyway. Do I have to look at me like this!"
At this moment, Varina stepped forward. Friendly, gave Zhang Guan a hug, patted his shoulder at the same time, said: "Zhang, congratulations. Create a history! You are the first athlete to participate in two events in the Golden League at the same time! Next Good luck in the game!"
"Uh. Thank you and good luck!" Zhang Guan replied somewhat depressedly.
Then Bahamian Christopher Brown and Canadian Christopher Taylor, who had never met Zhang Guan, also stepped forward to congratulate Zhang Guan.
"Zhang, congratulations!" Brown patted the shoulder of the Zhang Guan while patting the shoulder of the Zhang Guan
Then two Jamaican athletes walked with a smile on their faces
In the player waiting area. There was also applause. Powell, Montgomery, Crawford, Fasuba and others all applauded at Zhang Guan. Powell even whistled at Zhang Guan, which made Zhang Guan even more depressed.
The competition hasn’t started yet. Let’s celebrate Zhang Guan with honor. This seems to be telling Zhang Guan that your task for the 400m race today has been completed, and nothing will happen to you next.
"I am not here to brush achievements!" Zhang Guan murmured in a low voice: "I am here to win the championship!"
The Zhang Guan station was on the runway. Since the state potion was just used in the morning, his current state is still at 94 o'clock, but his physical strength is consumed a lot because of the morning game. So he used a physical potion.
But today Zhang Guan's luck is not good, he is in the eighth position.
Although Zhang Guan is the world record holder of 100 meters, it is still a rookie on the 400 meters project. Both athletes in the United States have won Olympic medals, and both Jamaicans have won the Olympic or World Championships. The remaining competitors are also 400-meter sprinters. Compared to this, Zhang Guan is on this event. He is still a newcomer, so it is reasonable to give him the eighth.
Whether it is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, the eighth track is the worst one. In the 100-meter sprint, the eighth and first tracks are the worst. However, the entire 100-meter run is a straight line, and the situation is better. At 200 meters, there is only one curve, and the eighth track can also be run.
In the 400m race. The eighth track is more difficult than the first. Let's not talk about the problem of the angle of the curve, let alone talk about the starting position. Since the starting position of the eighth track is relatively forward, the athletes of the eighth track are also in the leading position, which makes it difficult for the eighth track athletes to compete The changes in the rhythm and speed of other athletes were observed in the game, which also caused the athletes to make wrong judgments about the race conditions. And the first one is also on the edge. However, the situation of other athletes can be observed, and the first feeling for athletes is that they have been catching up and running. In sprint competitions, catching up is easier than leading.
After some preparations by the athletes, the audience on the scene gradually calmed down~IndoMTL.com~The athletes were ready to start, and the starter also signaled the athletes to start.
The starter raised his gun. After a shot, the athlete started to run.
Zhang Guan is relatively forward, so seven other athletes can observe the situation of Zhang Guan. At most, Zhang Guan observes the starting situation of the seventh track athlete. The other players are behind him. Less than.
When the Zhang Guan used to run 400 meters, its physical strength and status were basically below 80, after all, the opponent was not strong. East Asian athletes can win the championship by running into 46 seconds, and can also win the championship by running into the indoor world championships within 45 seconds. But today's situation is different. The participating athletes basically have the experience of running within 50 seconds, and there is Varina, a strong man who can run within 44 seconds.
So, to win, Zhang Guan must run faster than usual!
"State 94, physical strength 96, must be able to play beyond normal!" Zhang Guan began to speed up. (To be continued.)
