Almighty Athlete Chapter 378: Short track speed skating has changed sky
Before the finish line, Zhang Guan held its arms high to celebrate, and the Chinese coaching staff rushed forward, handing a flag to Zhang Guan.
In the next second, countless photojournalists approached, and some people even crossed the guardrail and came to the competition field just to give Zhang Guan a close-up shot.
The three members of the South Korean team bowed their heads without exception, and they were extremely frustrated. The headed Li Zhengzhu had already burst into tears.
Cui Guangfu stood there dull, and he was even expecting in his heart, it was just a nightmare, or the game was not over.
"Lost? We really lost? We actually lost!" Coach Cui murmured to himself, he recalled the game just now, his three team members did not make mistakes, especially Li Guangzhu, even can say It played very well, but in the end, South Korea still lost, three players lost to Zhang Guan alone!
The South Korean team has a clear team advantage, but lost in a three-on-one (love qíng) situation. This is really a complete defeat.
"Why is this? Why is this? The loss is so thorough!" Coach Cui looked at the result card, which was particularly conspicuous in 2 minutes 08 seconds 021.
"2 minutes 08 seconds 021! World record, this is a new world record!" At this moment coach Cui finally understood why the South Korean team will lose the gold medal and why the world's number one Li Zhengzhu will lose to Zhang Guan In the face of a new world record, Li Zhengzhu simply cannot win!
"The referee confirmed the result again, 2 minutes 08 seconds 021, we congratulate Zhang Guan, he broke the world record of short track speed skating 1500 meters. Prior to this, the world record was set by Korean player An Xianzhu in 2003 2 minutes and 10 seconds 639, Zhang Guan improved this result by more than 2 seconds in one fell swoop, which is really incredible. It is very difficult to know that even the improvement of 001 seconds in the world record level is the first time that Zhang Guan participated in this A sport, it improved the world record by 2 seconds! It’s really Zhang Guan, and it’s the greatest athlete in the world!”
"Today’s Zhang Guan seems to have brought us back to the track and field arena, the one where he can break through the world and easily break the world record! Perhaps for Zhang Guan, the track and field are the same as the short track speed skating arena, as long as they are racing He wants to be the fastest person in the world! He is the fastest person on land, the fastest person to drive a race car on land, now he wants to become the fastest person on ice again? Possibly, Zhang Guan will also participate in the men’s 500m and 1000m short track speed skating competitions. I believe he will definitely surprise us. We also look forward to the next short track speed skating competition as soon as possible! "
The narrators' series of narrations are full of praise, and this is Canada's relatively neutral narration. On the other side of the earth, the CCTV narrator has already taken the Zhang Guan to the sky.
A new world record was born, enough to applaud the whole world.
Of course there are exceptions, such as South Korea.
South Korea pays more attention to the Winter Olympics, especially short-track speed skating than other countries. The reason is that Korea’s short-track speed skating is the strongest in the world. This is as if the Chinese would not miss the game of table tennis. In the three levels of short-track speed skating in the Winter Olympics, the 1500m is the strongest point of the Korean team and the most stable gold winning point. In addition, there are three players entering the finals, so whether it is the Korean media or the public , All believe that the South Korean team will take the top three.
And the 1500m finals started at 12:20 noon in Korea, and it was also lunch time, so the ratings were very high. Many office workers even went to eat in some small restaurants with TV sets just to watch this short track speed skating 1500 meters final.
It's just that today's game is destined to disappoint South Koreans. When Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, a disappointed face appeared in front of the TV. Whether it was a small restaurant or a school cafeteria, as long as there was a TV, everything was silent, including the TV. Shi has also become silent mode, because the narrator of the Korean TV station also stopped the words, he did not know what to say.
The Koreans regarded it as the strongest project, and the Koreans regarded it as an inevitable project to win the championship. It was lost. This result is not only unacceptable to Korean audiences, but also difficult for them to understand.
"Why did Li Zhengzhu lose? Isn't he fast enough?"
In the next moment, the score of 2 minutes and 08 seconds 021 appeared in front of everyone, and the two large English letters at the back were particularly dazzling.
r, English shorthand for world record.
"World record! An Xianzhu's world record was broken!" someone exclaimed.
A sad feeling rose instantly from all around, and people's expressions (qíng) also seemed to have just experienced a catastrophe.
The loss of the gold medal for short track speed skating of 1500 meters is indeed a big blow to the national self-confidence of the Koreans, and An Xianzhu’s world record was broken, far more than the blow of the gold medal. Serious. If they just lost the gold medal, Koreans might be comforting themselves. Fortunately, the world record for this project is still maintained by An Xianzhu. Koreans are still the strongest in this project. But now, even this last piece of shy cloth has been torn away.
Koreans have always valued these honors because they are so scarce, so any point of achievement will be magnified infinitely, and sometimes even take other people’s things as their own to show off. Therefore, those Olympic champions and Winter Olympic champions in South Korea will be promoted as national heroes.
And now it is the answer, the more you hold it, the more pain you fall.
"Why, why didn’t An Xianzhu get up! An Xianzhu is the world record holder, he is the strongest short track skater in our country!"
"Yes, if you let An Xianzhu go, it will definitely not be the result today, maybe An Xianzhu will break the world record again! I really don't understand what the coach thinks."
"This is the responsibility of the coaching staff, and coach Cui Guangfu is responsible for this!"
"Yes, it is the responsibility of Coach Cui Guangfu, he should step down!"
In the locker room, coach Li Bing danced excitedly.
"Zhang Guan, although I guessed that you might break the world record, but I never expected that you would be so fast! Your score has improved by more than 1 second compared to more than a month ago. Short track speed skating, never seen someone can make such great progress in such a short time!" Coach Li Bing said.
Professional short track skaters, after the technology is mature, it is indeed very difficult to improve their performance by 1 second. Sometimes it is necessary to significantly improve their technical movements to achieve this kind of progress. In the world record level of achievement, wanting to improve by 001 seconds is a difficult battle. More than a month ago, Zhang Guan's score was just within 2 minutes and 10 seconds, but now it is almost close to 2 minutes and 08 seconds. If this speed of progress is passed, it will definitely shock other ice athletes.
Zhang Guan smiled slightly and said, "This is still thanks to the conditions provided by the national team. Without you, I can run into 2 minutes and 10 seconds."
As Zhang Guan said, he pointed to the ice skates under his feet, and then said: "This specially-made ice skate is different from what I bought in the store, and coach Tang has also given me great help. ."
As Zhang Guan said, he pointed to the equipment coach surnamed Tang who was not far away, and the coach Tang smiled shyly.
Professional skating must be equipped with equipment coaches, which is a major feature of skating. In other sports, equipment coaches are often came from training coaches or athletes themselves, such as table tennis, rackets are sticky by the athletes themselves, such as shooting, and guns are also calibrated and maintained by the athletes themselves. In many other sports, the game equipment is also personally adjusted by the coach or athlete.
But skating sports are different. Skates usually require professional maintenance and repair. They need to be polished with oilstones, they need to be fixed with an arc table, and they need to be bent with a press brake. These tasks must be done by professional equipment coaches. For example, in the bending and bending process, without certain experience, it is easy to break the ice skates.
The skates for short track speed skating are actually installed at an angle, which helps athletes to take turns. And such as the calculation of the curvature of the ice skates, the calculation of the inclination angle, and the choice of the ice skate angle according to the site, etc., it requires a certain mathematical skills and a wealth of physics knowledge. The average athlete trains from an early age, and may not even have a chance in high school. It is simply impossible to master this knowledge. Therefore, the equipment coaches for short track speed skating are all highly educated professionals, and few professional athletes are born (shēn).
And one (set of tào) suitable equipment for athletes, the benefits are self-evident. Just like a suit, the tailored (body shēn) must be more tailored than the clothing purchased in the store (body shēn). So before that, Zhang Guan used his own equipment and tried his best to go sliding, but just entered within 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
Work (to yù) good tools must first sharpen their tools. The national team customized equipment for Zhang Guan (shēn), and then equipped with special equipment coaches, which further improved the performance of Zhang Guan. In today's game, Zhang Guan has a little reservation for stability. It can already be close to 2 minutes and 08 seconds. Zhang Guan feels that if he goes all out to fight, the score will not be a problem within 2 minutes and 08 seconds.
The record-breaking Zhang Guan is not new to many people. In track and field racing, "record-breaking" is the normal state of Zhang Guan, but this time the venue was changed to the skating rink, and the event became a Short track speed skating.
The news came out, and it was shocked all over the world. Zhang Guan once again crossed the project, and then successfully stood at the pinnacle of the world. He became the first athlete in the world to receive a gold medal in both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, and the first person in the world to break the world record in both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. Zhang Guan inadvertently achieved another unprecedented achievement, and wrote a thick stroke in the history of world sports.
And many professional sports commentators are more aware that the short track speed skating project is going to change!
The second race of short track speed skating (day rì) is on February 18 (day rì) four days later. On this day Zhang Guan only needs to participate in one race, which is the 1000m group stage. At the same time, there is a preliminary match for the men's project, but because the opponent is relatively weak, the Zhang Guan, which is tasked with winning the gold, did not participate in the competition.
The preliminaries were carried out without any surprises, Zhang Guan successfully advanced, and another player of the national team Han Jialiang also successfully advanced to the next round.
On February 21 (日rì) after three (日rì), there will be two events on the short track speed skating arena, women’s 1500 meters and men’s 1000 meters, and both of these events are also required Determine the gold medal.
Men’s 1000m short track speed skating, the first to start is the 14 finals, Zhang Guan met South Korean player Li Haoxi again, in addition to this group there is no decent opponent, and whether it is Zhang Guan or Li Haoxi, also for the next The game retains physical strength, so the bayonet that didn't kill is red.
After the semifinals, Zhang Guan met another Korean player Cheng Shibai, and American player Apollo in the same group.
Apollo is the defending champion of 500-meter short track speed skating. He also has the nickname "Prince of America", which is arguably the strongest short track speed skater in addition to Korean players. His strength is indeed very strong, at least in the first half, the speed is not lost to Cheng Shibai, until the last sprint was surpassed by Cheng Shibai.
In the end, Zhang Guan and Cheng Shibai came out with the top two in the group. Apollo ranked third. Whether he can advance will depend on the results of the other group.
In another group, South Korea’s Lee Jung-soo beats the team leader. His teammate Li Haoxi won the second place and the third place was won by Hamelin of Canada, but Hamelin’s performance was better than Apollo. Since there are only five places in the 1000m finals, Apollo can only be eliminated from group b. The five players who stayed in the group were Zhang Guan, Li Zhengzhu, Li Haoxi, Cheng Shibai and Hamelin.
The 500m and 1000m finals of short track speed skating are divided into two groups, b, and those who fail to reach the finals in the semi-finals will participate in the finals of group b. In the two groups, the group players are competing for the first and second place, while the group b is competing for the ranking~IndoMTL.com~ Just like 1000 meters short track speed skating, a group of five people, in the group b game, even if you take To the first in group b, it was only sixth. The 500-meter short track speed skating, a group of four people, the first group b is equivalent to the fifth.
Cui Guangfu seemed a little nervous, one was because the final was about to start, and the other was because these days, he felt huge pressure. This kind of pressure mainly came from Korea. The reason is of course Because the Korean team lost the men's 1500 meters gold medal.
"For the 1,000-meter project, all three of our players entered the final again, and only five people participated in the 1,000-meter final. Our advantage is greater than 1500 meters! So this time, we must not lose. "Cui Guangfu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down."
"But Zhang Guan also reached the finals. Since he can break the world record of 1500 meters, he may also break the world record of 1000 meters! Even if he can't break the world record of 1000 meters, it will inevitably threaten our players. Winning the championship! This gold medal is bound to be won, and Zhang Guan must not be allowed to affect the result of the game!" Coach Cui Guangfu's eyes flashed with coldness when he thought of this.
"Since the conventional methods are risky, you may need to use some special tactics. If necessary, you should sacrifice a player to ensure that the gold medal is handed!" To be continued.
