Zhang Guan's speed at this time was like the final sprint of an athlete running 200 meters.
"Is he running 400 meters? Why does this sprint feel almost like running 200 meters! Why did he still have so much energy to sprint at the end? How did he do this?" Director Ma stared in disbelief. Big eyes.
In the 400-meter sprint race, by the time the final straight is reached, the athletes' physical strength has been exhausted. Some athletes even rely on willpower to persist in running the entire distance. Even for the world's top athletes, the last 100 meters definitely takes the most time. Top athletes take 11 to 12 seconds to run the last 100 meters. Of course, this is only if their physical strength can support them to the end. If they run out of energy when running to 350 meters, top athletes will also run more than 12 seconds in the last 100 meters. seconds.
But Zhang Guan is obviously not like this. He still has plenty of physical strength, so he can go faster. In the last section of the straight track, he can save one to two seconds, maybe even more, than other athletes. This is enough to make up for the time he lost due to his late sprint.
In other words, Zhang Guan's running method does not change the rhythm at all in the first two corners and a straight road. He just runs with "incomplete sprint activation" to save energy, and then sprints on the final straight track. , with the higher speed, all the time lost before was recovered in one fell swoop.
This kind of running method cannot be copied by others, because other athletes do not have the system skills as a plug-in, and it is impossible for them to maintain such sufficient physical strength when entering the final straight.
Director Ma watched silently as Zhang Guan crossed the finish line. It took several seconds for him to react. At the same time, he also realized that Zhang Guan had invented a new running method.
The reason why it is called a new running method is because the speed of the final sprint is too fast. In the original retro running method with a constant rhythm in the front, it is impossible for athletes to run so fast in the final sprint.
"How could there be such a strange running method in the world! He didn't run very fast in front, and it could be said that he lost time, but the sprint at the end made up for all the time lost in the front. He rushed so fast behind him. It seems like he can run 100 meters. Where does he get so much physical strength? So what is the effect of running like this?" Director Ma turned his attention to the electronic timer.
"45 seconds exactly!" Director Ma exclaimed.
The current domestic 400-meter dash record is 45.25 seconds. Zhang Guan suddenly improved this record by 0.25 seconds.
"It seems that this running method is successful! If Zhang Guan can increase his pace, increase the amplitude of his arm swing, and improve his technique of straight into corners, he will definitely be faster! Then the results will be better By how much? 0.5 seconds? Or 1 second?"
Director Ma began to calculate in his heart. If it improved by another 0.5 seconds, it would break the Asian record. And if it improved by another 1 second and ran within 44 seconds, Director Ma no longer dared to think about it anymore, because the current world record Only five people have ever run under 44 seconds, and all five of them have retired.
The world record for the 400-meter dash belongs to the legendary American flying star Michael Johnson of 43.18 seconds, and this time may be difficult to surpass. In current high-level international competitions, as long as you don't encounter the pervert Jeremy Varina, running around 44.5 seconds is enough to win the championship.
"100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters! The span of these events seems a bit big! But if it can really be realized, plus the 110-meter hurdles, we will dominate the men's sprint event at next year's Doha Asian Games!" Ma The director closed his eyes,
…
Japan.
"Everyone, the East Asian Games is about to begin! Although the East Asian Games is not a very important competition, it can also be regarded as a training for next year's Asian Games." Japanese team coach Kobayashi Keikazu looked at everyone present and continued Said: "We in Japan have many capable track and field athletes, but due to the restriction of participation quota, we cannot send all athletes to participate, so we are calling everyone here mainly to discuss the issue of participants for this East Asian Games. "
"Then let's start with the men's 100-meter race. Do you have any opinions?" Kobayashi Keikazu asked.
The coach who spoke first was named Satoru Inoue. He was once a famous 100-meter sprinter. In the early 1990s, he was Japan's number one 100-meter sprinter.
I saw Inoue Satoru saying: "In the 100-meter dash, the Chinese team will definitely send Zhang Guan to compete. Zhang Guan is so strong that even if we send the strongest athlete, it is impossible to win this event. Gold medal, so I think we can send some young athletes to participate in this event. Being able to compete with world record holders on the same stage is also a rare opportunity for young athletes to learn experience. In the two events of 200 meters and 400 meters On the other hand, we can send out strong opponents to deal with weaker opponents. There is a Chinese idiom about horse racing, which means exactly this."
"The Chinese idiom that Coach Inoue said is Tianji horse racing!" Susumu Takano immediately added: "Since we can't win the 100-meter dash, we might as well take this opportunity to train the young athletes of our Japanese team. And we can also focus on In the two events of 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash, I believe that with the strength of our Japanese athletes, we will be able to win gold medals in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash!"
Everyone agreed, and then two young Japanese athletes were determined to participate in the 100-meter event in the East Asian Games.
After that, Kobayashi Keikazu asked: "So, who would you recommend for the athletes participating in the 200-meter event?"
"Shinji Takahira is the best person to participate in the 200-meter race. Takahira-kun is only 21 years old this year, but he has already run very excellent results. His 20.59 seconds last year was the best result in our 200-meter dash in Japan last year. Pai If he competes as an East Asian athlete, he will surely win the gold medal." Someone immediately said.
"For another spot, I think we can send Ohmae Yusuke. Ohmae Yusuke is only 23 years old this year. Although his experience is not as good as Matsuda Ryo, Matsuda Ryo's competitive status has declined rapidly since he entered the graduate school last year. Let Ohmae Yusuke's participation in the East Asian Games is just an opportunity for experience." Someone else said.
Ryo Matsuda, as this person calls him, is also a very capable player. He has reached the Olympic A mark and once represented the Japanese team in the Athens Olympics.
After some discussion, Kobayashi Keikazu finally decided that Shinji Takahira and Yusuke Ohmae would participate in the 200-meter race.
"So, what do you recommend about the 400-meter dash?" Ohmae Yusuke looked directly at Takano Susumu.
When it comes to the 400-meter dash, Susumu Takano does have the most say. He once ran the 400-meter in 44.78 seconds in 1991 and is also Japan's national record holder in the 400-meter event.
Takano Susumu said: "No matter China, South Korea or North Korea, the 400-meter event is not strong, but our Japanese 400-meter sprint is the best in Asia, so in the 400-meter event, we will definitely win the championship! I suggest sending Yuzo Kanemaru came out and won the championship with thunderous momentum!”
Yuzo Kanemaru is currently the number one 400-meter sprinter in Japan, and in the next ten years, he will also dominate Japan's 400-meter dash event.
"In addition, we can also send Mitsuhiro Sato and Yuzo Kanemaru to form a double insurance, then the gold medal in the 400-meter dash will definitely belong to us!" Susumu Takano said excitedly.
Mitsuhiro Sato's personal best is actually faster than Yuzo Kanemaru. Before Yuzo Kanemaru, Mitsuhiro Sato was the number one 400-meter runner in Japan.
Japan's 400-meter sprint level is indeed the best in Asia. It may not be as good as athletes from West Asia at the individual athlete level, but the overall level can be regarded as the strongest in Asia. Basically, in Asian competitions, although Japan cannot win the gold medal in the 400-meter event, it is easy to win medals. When looking at the overall level of the 4x400-meter event, Japan is the favorite to win.
…
The idea of the East Asian Games was first proposed by the Japanese. The first East Asian Games was held in China in 1993. It was originally planned to be held every two years, but in 1995 it was held in Pyongyang, North Korea. The event was canceled due to certain factors. , so it was changed to be held every four years.
At first, the competitions in the East Asian Games were very competitive. For example, the Koreans wanted to defeat the Japanese, and the Koreans also wanted to defeat the Japanese. Koreans and North Koreans were also competing with each other, so the level of competition was still quite high. But then gradually it became unbearable.
In the early 1990s, the sports level of East Asian athletes was generally average, and they were not qualified to participate in many competitions, so they held a sports meeting by themselves. To put it bluntly, our skills were too poor and no one else was willing to take us to play.
Later, with the development of sports, the level of East Asian athletes became higher and higher, and they were gradually able to participate in some international competitions. Especially the development of sports commercialization, there were more and more domestic competitions in various sports, and East Asian athletes also It is impossible to attract high-level athletes to participate. Without high-level athletes to participate, there will be no spectators to watch. East Asian athletes have gradually become a venue for training newcomers from various countries. Therefore, in the future this event will simply be changed to the East Asian Youth Games.
This East Asian Games is being held in Macau for the fourth time. Countries in East Asia are relatively paying attention to this East Asian Games. However, judging from the registration situation, it has begun to decline. For example, in the men's 10,000-meter long-distance race, there is only one Japanese athletes and a Korean athlete participated, so the organizing committee had to temporarily find a long-distance runner in Macau to make up the three people. Then the Macau athlete who came to make up the numbers was lucky enough to get a bronze medal. Another example is that in the men's pole vault event, only three athletes participated. The gold medal winner only succeeded in the first jump and failed in all three jumps at the next height. The other two contestants failed in all three attempts and did not win. As a result, there was only one gold medal winner in this event but no silver and bronze medal winners.
Holding a game in Macau can be regarded as a home game for the national team. The local people in Macau are also very enthusiastic and hope to witness the style of outstanding domestic athletes. Therefore, the national team will try to send some well-known athletes in various events. In the track and field events, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren must participate. Zhang Guan will also make his 200m and 400m debut.
