Almighty Athlete Chapter 51: As soon as you start, you lead
On August 15th, the National Stadium officially kicked off the Olympic track and field competition. Zhang Guan will also face the situation of the three-line battle of track and field, tennis and basketball. This article consists of . lwχ520. Starter
The track and field competitions of this Olympic Games are only held in the morning and evening, and there is no track and field competition in the afternoon. This is good news for Zhang Guan, because many tennis and basketball games are played in the afternoon, Zhang Guan is just right The game time can be diverted.
On the morning of August 15, there were a total of six track and field events, all of which were preliminaries or qualifiers. Among them, Zhang Guan will debut in the men's 100m preliminaries.
The 100-meter sprint preliminaries have always been the largest number of participants in track and field events, and this year is also the case. Up to 80 players participated in the 100-meter sprint.
Athlete preparation area, Powell came to Zhang Guan with a smile, gave Zhang Guan a Jamaican hug, and at the same time said: "Zhang Guan, long time no see."
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for more than a year. How about the weather in our capital?" Zhang Guan responded.
"Okay, the environment of the Olympic Village is very good, and the facilities are very complete. I like the food here, there are many varieties. I thought that there would be only Chinese food, but I did not expect to have Italian food and Turkish beef that I like. Cake." Powell said.
"I'm still worried that you think it's too hot here!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Hot?" Powell shook his head: "It's nothing compared to Jamaica. It's you. I didn't participate in track and field competitions for a whole year last year, but now many people feel that they are no longer brave. !"
"Really? In the finals, we have to compete." Zhang Guan said.
"Don't fight me, you monster that can run to less than 9.7 seconds, I'm not your opponent." Powell directly admonished, and then he said: "But Eusein (Bolte) but want to Challenge you."
Powell said, looking at the starting line, at this time the players in the first group of the preliminaries are preparing, and Bolt is playing in the first group, he is on the third track.
"I heard that Bolt's speed is close to 9.7 seconds." Zhang Guan said.
Powell lowered his voice and said, "It's more than 9.7 seconds. He often can reach 9.7 seconds during training. I heard that his top speed during training is close to 9.6 seconds. How, Do you feel stressed? It looks like you are not surprised at all!"
Zhang Guan is not really surprised, because he knows that Bolt’s 100-meter world record has reached 9.58 seconds, so Powell’s close score of 9, 6 seconds is clearly not Bolt’s limit. .
Only Powell went on to say: "In the past year and more, there have been several powerful young people on the track and field. For the United States team, Gatling has not rushed out of the domestic qualifiers of the United States team. But this time, the US team, besides Guy, has no strong players."
The two were talking on the side, and the gunshots that had started on the field were already sounded.
In the first group of the preliminaries, the strength of the athletes is not bad. Bolt rushed to the first place relatively easily, and then led all the way to the finish line and successfully advanced to the second round.
Powell played in the second round. In the same group, he also has the old acquaintance Kim Collins of Zhang Guan. Both Powell and Collins ran easily within 10.2 seconds and went hand in hand.
In the next few groups, such as Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, Ariza of Ghana, Xuanji of Asahara and Naoki of Tsukahara in Japan, Tyson-Guy of the United States, Portugal Obic Viru, Qatar's Francis and others have also successfully advanced. In addition, there are some young players who have emerged in recent years and have also been promoted.
Zhang Guan played in the sixth group. The athletes in this group are not strong. Except for Zhang Guan, only British player Edgar and American player Davis Parton have some strength. Edgar and Patton has all ran in less than 10 seconds. In addition, there is a French player, an Oman player, and a Bulgarian player who are also Olympic athletes. The remaining two are Maldives and Laos. The two did not even meet the Olympic B standard, and they were able to participate in the Olympics only by applying for the IAAF, so-called backdoor players.
This group can be said to be perfect for Zhang Guan. There are no top players in the world. The three most powerful people in the group are guaranteed to be able to qualify, and there are two more who go through the back door. For Zhang Guan, it can be said to be the perfect equipment for warming up to find the state.
Obviously, this grouping is a kind of care for Zhang Guan. As a host player, it is strange that there is no special care.
Although this is only a 100-meter sprint preliminaries, because of Zhang Guan, it has attracted much attention, especially those athletes who are interested in competing for medals, but they have focused their attention on it.
Zhang Guan has not appeared on the international arena for nearly two years. As the world record holder, Zhang Guan will naturally attract everyone’s attention. Everyone does not know how Zhang Guan is today, or Zhang Guan, How much strength is left.
Zhang Guan prepares on the track, and the following athletes start talking quietly.
"Zhang Guan has not participated in track and field competitions for so long. I don’t know if his competitive state has recovered."
"I think it's difficult. The athletic state of track and field athletes is based on high-intensity training. Zhang Guan played tennis all year last year. I'm afraid there is no time to practice track and field!"
"Don’t forget the Zhang Guan at the peak but ran out of 9.68 seconds. I think even if he didn’t return to his heyday, there should be no problem running within 10 seconds!"
"That's for sure. The Zhang Guan's achievement in the Olympics was within 10 seconds, which was the result he just ran more than two months ago. I think Zhang Guan should be able to reach 9.80 seconds now!
"9.80 seconds is also good, it is still the world's top level, maybe there is hope to win the championship!"
"Impossible, 9.80 seconds, even Powell can run this result, not to mention there is a Bolt." The man continued: "Bolt's speed is already close to 9.70 seconds, maybe in In the finals of the Olympics, he can run within 9, 70 seconds."
"I am also more optimistic about Bolt~IndoMTL.com~I am also..."
"Okay, the game has started, what is the state of the Zhang Guan game, this preliminaries should be able to see some clues!"
......
The trigger pulled by the starter, with a snap, the athletes all rushed out.
"The start of the game, the Zhang Guan's starting is very good!" The commentator's voice just fell, and the athlete's starting reaction time appeared below the TV screen.
Zhang Guan's starting reaction time is not the fastest, but it is not slow, it is an excellent result.
"Zhang Guan plus..." The word "oil" in the commentator's mouth has not been spoken, but he has seen that Zhang Guan is already in the leading position.
"Leader!" the narrator blurted out.
At this time, the athletes start only 30 meters. (To be continued.)
