Almighty Athlete Chapter 90: Resolutely not to lead
The qualification for the long jump continues.
The athlete who played after Zhang Guan completed his first jump without any sense of presence. The jump was very good, and the score was OK, but there was no cheers, no shouts, or even applause, and everyone was still talking about the 8.05 meters that Zhang Guan just made.
In general world-class competitions, such as the World Athletics Championships, qualifiers can skip the eight meters to reach the finals, and skipping the eight meters in the Olympics may also enter the finals.
In the Olympics in recent years, the highest level of long jump was the Athens Olympics, and the lowest score of the Athens Olympic Qualifier was 8.05 meters. So the Zhang Guan jump, even if it is placed in the Athens Olympic Games, can also reach the finals. In this national track and field championship, it can be said that it is steadily reaching the finals.
The qualifier for the long jump has just started less than 20 minutes, and there is a steadily reaching the finals, which is equivalent to one less final place, which makes the athletes who have played or have not yet played feel pressured Multiplied, there are several athletes behind who choose a more unrestrained style of hopping, hoping to be able to fight for a better result, some people score, some people fail, but overall, athletes' performance has improved.
After the first round of trial jumping, the second round of competition will begin immediately.
The Zhang Guan directly chose to give up the second and third rounds. This situation is often seen in qualifiers for long jumps and triple jumps. Big-name athletes only make one or two jumps, and when they are satisfied with their performance, they will not jump. One is to save strength, and the other is to avoid injury.
In the end, Zhang Guan undoubtedly entered the final with the first place in Group a, and in the subsequent Group B competition, no athletes and athletes could surpass Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan finally entered the final with the first total score.
A few hours later, as the night gradually attacked, the 800-meter preliminaries will also begin.
The middle-run event is obviously not as hot as the sprint event, and there are fewer athletes. Only three groups of athletes participate in the preliminary round. The top two in each group plus the two best third places advance to the 800m final the day after.
Since this is the first time Zhang Guan has appeared on the 800-meter field, the 800-meter preliminary game has become a highlight of today's game.
The 800-meter starting position is about the diagonal of the 200-meter sprint starting line. The distance between the athletes is also the same as the 200-meter distance. The first 100 meters are run in separate lanes. Athletes must finish a curve in their own runway after starting, and then after entering the straight track, after passing the mark of the grab line, the athlete of the outer lane can go inward to grab the inner lane.
When it comes to athletes’ starting, the 800 meters do not require a starting block. Naturally, squat start is not necessary, so athletes often choose the semi-squat start.
Although Zhang Guan is participating in the 800-meter race for the first time, no one will underestimate him, because Zhang Guan is the world champion of the 400-meter run, and his 400-meter level is several grades behind domestic athletes.
The 400-meter run and the 800-meter run have a lot in common, and the 400-meter run is recognized as the most difficult track and field event. Generally, 400-meter athletes who are strong at 400 meters are not too weak to run 800 meters. Therefore, everyone thinks that it is still easy to win a medal in the domestic 800-meter competition at the 400-meter level of Zhang Guan.
The organizing committee seems to take care of Zhang Guan. The first track for the Zhang Guan, which is the innermost runway, allows the Zhang Guan to save the trouble of robbing the road. Zhang Guan only needs to be careful not to collide with other athletes who grab the road inward.
The semi-squat start made Zhang Guan a bit uncomfortable. He has been practicing track and field for more than three years. He has been training in sprint events. He also used squat start without a starting block and suddenly changed. The starting posture makes Zhang Guan feel a little unable to find the game.
"Everybody. Prepare"
Zhang Guan heard the long-lost Chinese command sound, which made him feel like he had traveled two years ago. But then the gunshots immediately sounded, Zhang Guan didn't care about the emotion, and quickly rushed out of the starting line.
The first 100 meters is a split run in a curve. Moreover, due to the beginning of the game, the athletes have more physical strength and everyone’s speed is faster. And because of the problem of merging the roads afterwards, many outbound athletes will deliberately run the first 100 meters. Faster, so that the back side merges inward.
Zhang Guan directly activates incomplete sprint skills. Zhang Guan feels that if it is a direct curve sprint, the physical consumption will be relatively large, and there is 700 meters behind to run, which can save a little more physical energy and save more, so I chose the incomplete sprint activation state, but even so, Zhang Guan The speed is the fastest in the first 100-meter curve.
The speed of Zhang Guan itself is a lot faster than other domestic athletes. Zhang Guan usually runs 400 meters when it uses an incomplete sprint. In this state, it can run 11.5 seconds before the 100-meter curve. Within this, this is the world's top 400m starting curve speed.
But now it’s an 800-meter run, it’s impossible for athletes to have the speed of 400 meters, and the level of domestic athletes is far from the world’s top. The result is this one corner, Zhang Guan opened and other The distance of people.
"Zhang Guan runs so fast!"
"How did it happen? Did he forget the 800-meter run? Why still use the 400-meter run! Our 400-meter run is not so fast."
"The innermost runway, there is no need to cut the road, as for running so fiercely!"
"It's Zhang Guan, it is so fast to run 800 meters."
Everyone talked in a whisper. Director Ma and Director Yu sitting on the podium were all expressions of watching the show. Only Coach Zhou's face was depressed and embarrassing.
"Isn't this kid Zhang Guan really not running over 800 meters! How could he run so fast, and he wouldn't be able to run after a while without physical strength! Does this kid want to lead?" Coach Zhou silently Thought.
After crossing the lane, the athletes started to merge inwards. In fact, merging is a process that affects the speed very much. Especially for athletes who are on the outer track, he must be more careful not to collide with others. In some of the world's top contests, the outermost athletes may have reached the end of the straight track after completing the merge.
Generally speaking, even if the athlete moves to the innermost track, even if it is a parallel, the track is actually very wide, which can accommodate two athletes running side by side, but the athlete who is outside may need to run more. A little distance.
Because the speed in front of Zhang Guan is too fast, he found that other athletes were left behind by him after crossing the lane.
"There is no one in front of me, and I will be useless to follow the run. This is not possible, and I can never lead." Zhang Guan immediately removed the sprinting skills, and the speed slowed down instantly.
Zhang Guan without sprint skills, the speed is the level of normal athletes. In the past two years, with strong physical fitness skills, the body has been constantly strengthened, coupled with regular training, Zhang Guan is still a relatively strong athlete. Naturally, it is a lot higher than the average person, but compared to the previous metamorphosis speed, it is almost heaven and earth.
"Yeah, Zhang Guan is slow! So much slower!"
"It seems that he also realized that he just started to punch too hard!"
"I thought he was ready to take the lead! It turns out not!"
"Leader? How tired is it, Zhang Guan will run 800 meters for the first time, certainly not lead!"
Everyone watching the game started talking about it, and the other seven athletes in the competition on the court were also stunned.
"Zhang Guan is slow, so much slower! I thought you would have to rush to the finish line so fast, and I jumped!" The athlete ran after him while thinking.
Zhang Guan slowed down. Several athletes who were preparing to merge inwards were immediately overjoyed. They immediately began to accelerate, hoping to surpass the front of Zhang Guan, and then occupy the inside to run to a better position.
In the competition, some athletes sometimes choose to lead in order to occupy a better position.
Long-distance running and middle-distance running have different leading positions.
In the long-distance running, leading the lead is a tragedy. The leader consumes a lot of physical energy. The athletes do not want to lead, so it is often the case that everyone is slower and slower. The organizer sometimes will Spend money on hiring a front runner, commonly known as a "rabbit", who is responsible for professionally leading the race to improve the athlete's performance. Therefore, "Rabbit" generally runs faster, but will give up the game in the second half of the game.
In races without "rabbits", long-distance powers like Ethiopia have an advantage. Many of their athletes can take turns to lead the tactics in the competition to control the rhythm of the game, and sometimes even Using the "three guarantees one" gold winning tactics, one person rushed to the gold medal, and the other two specifically created trouble for the opponent.
And there is obviously no "rabbit" in the middle distance race~IndoMTL.com~ The middle runner is actually a double-edged sword. The middle runner will consume more physical energy, but can control the rhythm of the game. The front runner can run at his own pace, and the people behind need to be forced to adapt to the pace of the front runner. Some capable front runners, who lead directly to the finish line, are also often seen in middle distance races.
On the field, Zhang Guan slowed down, and immediately a leader ran ahead. Zhang Guan just wanted to speed up to keep up, but an athlete was inserted in front.
"It doesn't matter, just run ahead!" Zhang Guan posted the second-ranked athlete in front and started using the skills of following the run.
The 800-meter race, the athletes can’t pull any distance before the sprint, everyone is in the unified group, this second place is almost close to the second place, and Zhang Guan follows behind, speed The rhythm is exactly the same as the second place he followed.
"Follow the run, save 50% of your physical strength, and it's really easy!" Zhang Guan looks a little smug. (To be continued.)
