Almighty Athlete Chapter 78: Four hundred meters preliminary match

Varina approached and gave Zhang Guan an American hug. In the 2006 Golden League, the two played six times in a few months, and they were naturally very familiar with each other. It can be said that both of them are friends and competitors.

"I haven't seen Zhang Guan in a long time, congratulations first, and broke the world record! I really did not expect that humans can run so fast, 9.56 seconds, I think you have exceeded the limit of people." Varina said Said.

"Thank you." Zhang Guan replied with a smile.

Varina pointed to the two behind him and said, "Merrit and Neville, you have seen them before."

Zhang Guan greeted Merritt and Neville, and Varina continued: "I thought you would say goodbye to the track and field for so long, you may not find the feeling of the game, now it seems that I am worried It’s superfluous, I think you’re back to the best state now?”

"You guessed it, I should be in the best state now!" Zhang Guan said.

Varina showed such an expression, and at the same time the flash of light flashed in his eyes. Just listen to him and then say: "That's great! I have been looking forward to dealing with you for more than two years since you left the track and field, and now I am stronger than two years ago!"

"Then we will see you in the final." Zhang Guan also smiled: "I won't be merciless at that time."

"That is, of course, it is meaningful to me to be able to compete with you in the peak state. I hope you can have the state of the 100-meter final yesterday." Varina said while watching After watching the time, he said: "The competition is about to start. See you in the final. Good luck!"

Looking at Varina's back, a feeling of excitement emerged in Zhang Guan's heart.

Zhang Guan is fortunate to meet an opponent such as Varina. Varina is eager to win. He hopes to defeat stronger opponents through his own efforts. Such talents are real athletes.

......

After a few minutes, the men’s 400-meter sprint preliminaries began. Like other sprint events, the level of contestants is uneven. There are many Olympic B-marked athletes who are purely soy sauce, so for powerful players, the preliminaries are not difficult.

In the preliminary round, if you can run within 45 seconds, there is a considerable chance to lock the group first, and if you run within 45.50 seconds, there is a great chance to enter the next round of the game.

In the first group, the French player De Joan and the American David Neville clearly have an absolute advantage. Both of them did not try their best. De Joon won the group first in 45.12 seconds. Ville finished second in the group with 45.22 seconds, and the third place was won by a Cuban player. The fourth-placed Belgian ran 45.43 and had a chance to enter the next round. The results of several other people have been close to 46 seconds or even ran out of 46 seconds. Obviously, it is impossible to escape the fate of being eliminated.

The strongest player in the second group is the Bahamian star Chris Brown. When Zhang Guan first participated in the 400-meter game of the Golden League, he once played against Brown. In the game, Brown's condition is very good. His movement rhythm is very fast, and several other powerful players do not hesitate to compete for the top three. In the end, four players in this group have reached 45. Within seconds. Although the fourth Congolese player did not advance immediately, the good result of 44.89 seconds will definitely be able to obtain an additional promotion quota.

Zhang Guan played in the third group, which also attracted the attention of almost all contestants. In the 400-meter sprint project, Zhang Guan also did not appear in the international arena for two years. Although breaking the world record at 100 meters yesterday proved that the competitive state of Zhang Guan is very good, and also eliminated a lot of doubts, the 400-meter dash After all, the 100-meter dash is two different projects. A good performance in the 100-meter sprint does not mean that it can be played well in the 400-meter sprint. So many people still have doubts about the Zhang Guan.

The starter shot a gun and the game started. Zhang Guan is still the previous running method. After the start, the incomplete sprint activation was activated, and the first three hundred meters was run at a relatively constant speed.

In the view of the 400-meter sprinter, the speed of Zhang Guan with incomplete sprint activation skills is not fast. After all, the speed after opening the skill is only 85% of the normal sprint, and the 15% speed loss is still very obvious in the world's top contest. But after all, this is only a preliminary match, and the level of players in the same group of Zhang Guan is relatively low. Even if Zhang Guan is activated in an incomplete sprint, it still seems to be faster than other players.

Athlete preparation area on the sidelines.

American player Neville said, "The speed of Zhang Guan doesn't seem to be fast! Maybe he was just bluffing? He hasn't recovered his peak state in the 400-meter sprint."

"You are wrong, I think the current Zhang Guan has returned to his peak state!" Varina shook his head, then said: "Don't forget the special running method used by Zhang Guan, he is in front The three hundred meters run at almost constant speed, and the next 100 meters sprint at a very fast speed. No one in the world can imitate his kind of running."

Among the players here, Varina is the one with the most frequent encounters with Zhang Guan, but he has never won a victory. Varina is surpassed by Zhang Guan in the final straight sprint every time, and there are even several The second time is before the finish line, Varina is about to start preparing to celebrate the victory, and then surpassed by Zhang Guan, so Varina has the freshest memory of the Zhang Guan running style.

And the situation is just like Varina said. In the first three hundred meters, the running methods of other players have changed. Only the Zhang Guan runs at a constant speed. However, the speed of other players in this group is not fast. Although Zhang Guan uses incomplete sprint activation, it is still the third to enter the straight run, and the gap between him and the first and second places is not big.

Next~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Guan accelerated the sprint, surpassed the person in front one second later, rushed to the front, then in the cheers of the audience, the team came out first.

The final score of Zhang Guan is 44.66 seconds. This score obviously retains a lot of strength. In addition to Zhang Guan, only two players in this group ran within 46 seconds, and the other players scored within 46 seconds, which indeed shows that this group is the weakest group.

In the next few contests, the other two men of the US team, Varina and Merritt, have also successfully advanced to the next round, in addition to the likes of British star Ronnie and Steele, Trinity Dahe and Tobago player Kaur and other well-known players have also been promoted.

As about an hour later, Zhang Guan will also participate in the men’s 200m sprint preliminary and triple jump qualifying events, so he did not leave, but prepared to return to the locker room for a short break.

Just in front of the locker room, Zhang Guan met a familiar figure.

"It is Liu Feiren!" Zhang Guan suddenly remembered that after the preliminaries of the men's 200-meter sprint, the men's 110-meter hurdles competition will be held. (To be continued.)
