Shenshi Gaoping looked at the final results with a bitter look on his face.
Originally, Shinji Takahira was full of confidence and prepared to defeat Zhang Guan in one fell swoop and become a hero in Japan. However, only five or six seconds passed in the game. Shinshi Takahira's hopes were completely shattered. Even in the corners, Zhang Guan's performance The speed at which it came out was not something that Gao Ping Shenshi could catch up with, not to mention the straight track that Zhang Guan was better at.
19.98 seconds, a new Asian record, which is also a result that is difficult for Gaoping Shenshi to reach in his life. He recalled the gap he had been left behind by Zhang Guan during the competition, and suddenly felt a very aggrieved feeling.
"With such a fast speed and such a big gap, how could I possibly defeat him!"
In the end, Gaoping Shenshi's time was 20.78 seconds, which is also a very good time in Asia. He almost entered the B standard of the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, this time became eclipsed in front of Zhang Guan's Asian record. .
As for Yang Yao, when he saw Zhang Guan running so fast during the competition, he was also surprised, but then he was relieved a lot, because Yang Yao knew that he would definitely not be able to win the gold medal in the 200 meters, so The next game also became very relaxed, and finally won the third place in 21.34 seconds.
At this time, Zhang Guan was also surrounded by media reporters.
"Congratulations, Zhang Guan, on your perfect 200-meter debut! How do you feel now?" a female reporter from CCTV asked first.
"It's not bad. The main purpose this time is to get used to the rhythm of the 200-meter dash." Zhang Guan said.
"I just saw that you seem to have some reservations. Can you run faster?" This is a reporter from Macau. His Mandarin is not very standard, but he can still understand it.
Zhang Guan nodded: "It will definitely be okay to go faster. I am the world champion. How can an Asian record satisfy me?"
"Then your goal is to break the world record?" a Hong Kong reporter asked, with an exaggerated expression on his face.
"It will definitely happen in the future!" Zhang Guan said with certainty: "As an athlete, you should work hard towards higher, faster, stronger and challenge higher goals, so if you encounter the right opportunity , I will challenge the 200-meter world record."
"Wow..." The reporters exclaimed, but they all looked very excited. This was obviously the answer they most wanted to hear.
In fact, interviewing domestic athletes is a very boring thing, and many of the answers have been standardized. They say thank you to the country, thank your parents, thank you to the coach, thank you for this, thank you for that. It is basically a routine, but reporters prefer that athletes say something " Big words”.
For example, if a certain NBA player scores a high score in a certain game, if he replies by thanking his family, thanking his coach, thanking his teammates, etc., there is obviously nothing worth reporting, but if he says that he will surpass Kobe's 81 points in the future, that is definitely a problem. The highlight is that although it is a bit of a big talk, it is still a good fight. More importantly, the media likes to hear this kind of talk.
"Zhang Guan, we know that you have a 400-meter dash competition to participate in tomorrow. This is also your 400-meter dash debut. Are you confident that you can win the 400-meter dash championship again?" Another reporter asked. .
"As an athlete, you can lose everything, but you must never lose confidence in yourself. Facing every game, I have the confidence to win!" Zhang Guan's answer was very concise, but to the reporters around him, It’s like I’ve been fed a big bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
…
Although an Asian record of 200 meters is very exciting, it is not enough to make a sensation. In the past year, Zhang Guan has won more than a dozen world championships and set new world records several times. For ordinary people, Zhang Guan Winning has become a matter of course. Although this time it is a 200-meter dash, it also feels like the icing on the cake. Although the icing on the cake is beautiful, it is always not as touching as providing help in times of need.
While reporters were frantically surrounding Zhang Guan, Japanese team coaches Kobayashi Keikazu and Takano Susumu had already left the game early.
"Takano-kun, you have the most say in the 400-meter dash. Judging from the 200-meter race just now, what do you think of Zhang Guan's strength in the 400-meter dash?" Kobayashi Keikazu asked.
"Coach, I have observed Zhang Guan's performance in corners, but from a technical point of view, his performance is very ordinary. It can only be said that he is quite satisfactory. I don't see any extraordinary technical characteristics. This is different from his performance in the 100-meter world. The identity of the record holder is very inconsistent." Susumu Takano said matter-of-factly.
"You're right, and Zhang Guan obviously hasn't run as hard as he can, but even so, Zhang Guan's speed in corners is almost the same as that of top-notch black players in Europe and the United States. His advantage in speed is too obvious. Especially in Asia, the speed advantage of 0.5 seconds for 100 meters is reflected in the 200-meter dash, which is simply unsurpassable." Kobayashi Keikazu said.
"But the 400-meter dash is different." Takano Jin continued: "Coach, the 400-meter dash is a very technical sport, and speed alone is not enough. According to the skills Zhang Guan has shown now, it can only be regarded as a He is just a qualified 400-meter sprinter, and he is far from being excellent. In Japan, there are several qualified 400-meter athletes in every high school track and field club."
"Are you saying that Zhang Guan's 400-meter level is not good enough?" Kobayashi Keihe suddenly became energetic.
"It should be like this from a technical level. The distribution of rhythm and physical strength in the 400-meter event is a difficult point. It takes many athletes more than half a year to find the rhythm that suits them. What kind of rhythm is suitable for athletes will directly affect them. The running method in the competition." Takano Jin changed his voice and continued: "But we don't know what kind of running method Zhang Guan will use in the 400 meters."
"The Chinese still use the more traditional running method in Asia, and I think Zhang Guan should also use that running method. And our player Yuzo Kanemaru has begun to use the European and American running method. Although Mitsuhiro Sato has been using The traditional running method, but the acceleration point is much earlier, which has advantages for the traditional running method. I hope Kanemaru-kun and Sato-kun can run within 46 seconds tomorrow!" Kobayashi Keikazu said.
Among the two players on the Japanese team, Yuzo Kanemaru ran his best time in history this year, which was 45.86 seconds, while the older Mitsuhiro Sato ran a good time of 45.63 seconds last year. Although these two results did not even qualify for the A standard of the Olympic Games, they are definitely top results in Asia.
"Coach, if Kanemaru-kun and Sato-kun perform normally, they should be able to run around 46.10 seconds. If they enter 46 seconds, I'm afraid we have to expect them to perform better." Takano Shin said still very honestly.
"No matter what, we must try our best tomorrow! The Chinese team has always been better than us in women's events, throwing events and race walking events. In the short events, the Chinese have already beaten us in the men's 100-meter, 200-meter, and 110-meter hurdles." After surpassing us, the only advantageous event we have left is the 400-meter dash. No matter what, we must maintain our advantage in the 400-meter event!"
…
"Everyone in the audience, welcome to the East Asian Games special program. In today's program, we specially invited Professor Li Jianguo from Capital Sport University as our special guest." The host turned to a man about fifty years old and said: " Hello, Professor Li."
"Host, dear audience, hello everyone!" Professor Li said with a smile.
"The East Asian Games are now in full swing, and our country's athletes have also achieved very good results. They are currently far ahead in the gold medal list and medal list. And in the competition that ends today, the one who gets the most attention is undoubtedly Zhang Zhang Guan’s 200m debut! The time of 19.98 seconds broke the Asian record of 20.03 seconds previously held by Japanese player Shingo Suetsugu. Let’s take a look back at the moment when Zhang Guan broke the Asian record of 200m during the day!”
The whole process of Zhang Guan's competition was shown on the TV, and then the host asked: "Professor Li, Zhang Guan's performance today was perfect. Do you think Zhang Guan will improve in the future?"
"Improvement is inevitable!" Professor Li said with a smile: "Zhang Guan's dominance in the men's 100-meter event is obvious to all. I expected him to break the Asian record today. I think Zhang Guan broke the 200-meter event." The world record for meters is just a matter of time.”
This Professor Li is obviously a "Zhang Guan fan", but it is naturally impossible to find some "spots" as guests in this kind of program. Even if it is a champion athlete in other sports, Professor Li can become a "fan".
"Now everyone is paying close attention to tomorrow's competition. Zhang Guan is about to participate in the 400-meter dash. This is also his 400-meter debut. Everyone is also looking forward to Zhang Guan's results tomorrow." The camera zoomed in again, and then Just listen to the host then ask: "Professor Li, do you think it is possible for Zhang Guan to win the 400-meter dash championship tomorrow? Or go one step further and break another Asian record?"
"It is very possible to win the 400-meter dash championship, but it may be difficult to break the Asian record for the 400-meter dash. The current Asian record for the 400-meter dash is Oman's Malki's 44.56 seconds, and this result has already been It has been dusty for 17 years and has not been broken! In fact, being able to run under 45 seconds can be regarded as a world-class 400-meter athlete, and achieving a time under 44.50 seconds is also a world-class athlete. It’s very difficult.” Li continued: “According to the situation at the Athens Olympics last year, only the top three in the finals ran within 44.50 seconds, and the fourth place’s time was 44.66 seconds, which is the current Asian record time of 400 meters. , you can also win a runner-up in the Olympics."
"So what is the actual monetary record for the 400-meter dash?" the host then asked.
Director Li immediately said: "43 seconds 18, this result was set by the legendary American flying star Michael Johnson in 1999. At that time, this world record was called the '21st century record' and was considered impossible to be set even in the 21st century. People have broken it, and judging from the current situation, this record will be unshakable for at least 50 years!
