Almighty Athlete Chapter 494: Lost before losing
When Zhang Guan passed the second time point, the total score was 22 minutes and 58 seconds, which means that he spent 14 minutes and 38 seconds in passing the second stage.
However, what shocked Wiggins was not only this result, but the "22" in the previous minutes, because it represented less than 23 minutes.
"Within 23 minutes! How is it possible! He can pass the second time point within 23 minutes!"
Wiggins looked at this number in disbelief. He even felt that the timing device was malfunctioning.
Before the game, Wiggins had practiced on this track many times, and during his practice, the fastest time to pass the second time point was 23 minutes and 10 seconds. This is 12 seconds slower than Zhang Guan's current results.
Wiggins is better at complex stages. In complex stages with many ramps and many turns, Wiggins will definitely be much faster than others. He spent in the second stage The shortest time is 14 minutes and 45 seconds. Wiggins firmly believes that apart from himself, any athlete in the world spends more than 14 minutes and 50 seconds in the second stage.
The fastest time of Covekins is still 7 seconds slower than the 14 minutes and 38 seconds of Zhang Guan. He is 7 seconds slower than others at the fastest time. Where else is there hope of victory?
Flom from the side has also been stunned by this result of Zhang Guan. Fromm is also the world's top cyclist anyway, but he will spend more than 15 minutes in the second stage. In fact, the test time of other top British drivers is also more than 15 minutes, only Viking Sri Lanka, you can ride 14 minutes and 50 seconds.
Because of this, the British coaching team has determined before the game that Wiggins will surely win the championship of the personal time trial. The advantage of 10 seconds is simply unshakable in the eyes of the world's top players.
But today, Fromm saw a performance of 14 minutes and 40 seconds, which means that in the second stage only, Zhang Guan is faster than himself by more than 20 seconds, and at least faster than Wiggins. 10 seconds!
This is also an advantage of 10 seconds, which is also unshakable!
"Impossible, I am already so familiar with the track, and at most it is a 15-minute ride. Zhang Guan is the first time to ride this track, how can it be so much faster than me! I don’t believe it, I want to make a reconsideration of the results!" Fromm felt that his own mind had begun to become confused.
......
"The total score of Zhang Guan is 22 minutes and 58 seconds. He spent 14 minutes and 38 seconds in the second stage. The second stage is only 1.9 kilometers longer than the first stage, but there are more Zhang Guan. It took 6 minutes and 18 seconds. If physical factors were eliminated, the road conditions in the second stage should be more complicated." Martin Martin of Germany carefully analyzed and set himself a score of 14 minutes and 30 seconds.
Beside, other players have set their own goals based on the results of Zhang Guan.
The second departure from Laseny took 16 minutes and 52 seconds in the second stage, and the cumulative time he spent through the second timing point has reached 26 minutes and 24 seconds. The third departure was much better for Bazayev. He spent 25 minutes and 57 seconds and passed the second timing point. The subsequent Iranian Hani took 26 minutes and 07 seconds.
Hani was in the first two timings, more than three minutes slower than Zhang Guan, and he was 6 minutes later than Zhang Guan, which is a gap of more than 9 minutes, when he passed the second timing At that time, Zhang Guan was close to the end of the game.
The total distance is 34.6 kilometers, so the final third stage is 11.1 kilometers, which is longer than the first stage, but much shorter than the second stage.
In terms of road conditions, the third stage is also much better than the second stage. The only problem is that athletes consume more physical energy when riding here, so the speed is not as fast as before.
Wiggins looked at the finish line. He had a hunch that Zhang Guan would appear at the end of the track immediately.
"Come on!" A black dot appeared on the edge of the distant track. As the black dot got closer and closer, it could be seen that the other party was wearing a red racing suit.
That is Zhang Guan.
Wiggins looked at his watch and his face tightened suddenly. He knew that if he was himself, it would be impossible to end the whole game so quickly.
The drivers in the waiting area are watching the Zhang Guan one after another. As the first driver to start, it is also normal to come back first, so the drivers are more concerned with the Zhang Guan results.
The Hampton Court Palace in the distance meets the eyes of Zhang Guan, and the walls of the red brick abandoned city are surrounded by a piece of green vegetation, which is particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Guan entered the final straight and began to sprint towards the finish line.
"Whoosh!" A red figure galloped past the finish line, and the game time was finally fixed at 34 minutes and 10 seconds.
This means that Zhang Guan spent a total of 11 minutes and 12 seconds in the third counting period.
"34 minutes and 10 seconds!" A trace of bitterness appeared on Wiggins' face, a result he had never achieved. In the previous practice game, his fastest speed was only 34 minutes and 33 seconds, and Zhang Guan was 23 seconds faster than Wiggins' fastest time.
"34 minutes and 10 seconds? It's impossible for me to ride so fast in my life~ IndoMTL.com~ Wiggins bowed his head and looked desperate. This feeling is more than he lost in the road race. The gold medal is still uncomfortable.
In the road race on July 28, all the contestants started together somehow, and Wiggins didn't know that he lost at the end of the race. Today, the players are divided into cars, Zhang Guan is still the first start, when Zhang Guan finished, Wiggins has not yet started his own race.
But for Wiggins, this game has not yet started, it has already lost!
From the perspective of athletes, especially a player who is determined to compete for the championship, there is nothing more painful than this result. If it is in the game, because the strength is not as good as the opponent, and the result is to lose the game, it is a common thing. Anyway, the athletes have still worked hard in the game, and have struggled in the game. It is inferior to the skill to lose.
But today, facing a result of 34 minutes and 10 seconds, Wiggins, no matter how hard he tries, how hard he struggles, can't see any hope of victory. This feeling of suffocation made Wiggins want to cry with a severe headache.
At this moment, in the British team, both the athletes and the coaching staff have no morale.
"Anyway, it’s better than losing again! At that time, we felt better in our hearts. It’s better now, and we have lost before we start! Which **** idiot, let Zhang Guan be the first to leave, this is not obvious. Does it hurt our morale? If we let Zhang Guan start later, we don’t know Zhang Guan’s performance, but we can still keep some morale anyway!” The coach of the British team couldn’t help but cursed the man who placed Zhang Guan in the first start. people.
Sebastian, sitting in the office, is still complacent about his "wise decision"...
