Almighty Athlete

Chapter 165: The King of Track and Field battles Varina again

Views:

There are countless people around the world studying Varina's running style. In addition to professional sports coaches who hope to learn from it, other college students, graduate students, etc. in sports-related majors will also use Varina's running methods as their graduation thesis. In the domestic sports system, those who need to be promoted to professional titles Man, why do so many people choose to write a paper related to Varina running method

Of course, more people are studying Zhang Guan's 100-meter dash, but Zhang Guan is unreasonably fast in the 100-meter dash. Technically, there is nothing praiseworthy, and his research value is far inferior to that of Wa. Rina.

As the coach of the national team, Director Yu has of course read many papers on Varina's running style, and there are even many people who come to visit with papers hoping to get Director Yu's comments. So at least in theory, Yu coached Dovarina's running method very well. He knew that Varina could improve his performance by 0.5 seconds in the second 100-meter stage simply by adjusting the span of his steps.

Today, Zhang Guan also did this, which means that Zhang Guan's total score can also be improved by 0.5 seconds.

"0.5 seconds! Zhang Guan had already reached the 44-second mark in the previous Golden League. If it were 0.5 seconds faster, wouldn't he be able to reach 43.50 seconds!" At this moment, Director Yu couldn't help but recall it in his mind. Those times in history that have run under 43.50 seconds.

"There seem to be only two people in the world who can run under 43.50 seconds, world record holder Michael Johnson and former world record holder Reynolds. If I remember correctly, in the 400-meter event, there are only two people in human history. He has run under 43.50 seconds five times, including 4 times by Johnson and 1 time by Reynolds. Zhang Guan may become the third person in history to run under 43.50 seconds!"

As Director Yu thought about it, his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

Last year, Director Yu was still congratulated that Zhang Guan ran within 46 seconds in the 400 meters; in the East Asian athlete race in the winter, Zhang Guan ran within 45 seconds, breaking the Asian record for 400 meters, and Director Yu once again He had been excited for several days. At that time, he couldn't help but start to look forward to when Zhang Guan would be able to run under 44 seconds.

However, half a year later, in the Golden League, Zhang Guan defeated Varina and ran within 44 seconds. This speed of progress made Director Yu extremely satisfied. Director Yu felt that Zhang Guan had already achieved this level in this event. It's close to the limit. If you want to make progress, you may have to wait until Zhang Guan's body reaches its peak in two or three years before he can achieve a higher speed.

But today, Director Yu discovered that his judgment on Zhang Guan had once again made a mistake. Less than a month had passed since the last Golden League, and Zhang Guan had inexplicably mastered a new technology, a new technology. Techniques that allow him to run within 43.50 seconds.

"Zhang Guan is 20 years old this year. Two years later, he will be 22 years old and will begin to enter the golden age of a track and field athlete. He will definitely be more powerful than he is now. In the next Olympics, he will be the strongest member of our Olympic delegation. Weapon! At that time, you will definitely shock the whole world!"

The Paris leg of the IAAF Golden League will be held on July 7. There is a time conflict with this year's Wimbledon. However, Sharapova lost to Mauresmo in the game and stopped in the semi-finals, ending her Wimbledon schedule, so she just had time to come to Paris to watch Zhang Guan's game.

Different from the previous Golden League, the Paris Station has a 110-meter hurdles event. The Golden League allows the organizer to set up special events, and France has a famous 110-meter hurdles player Ducoure, so the Paris Station has set up a 110-meter hurdles event. 110m hurdles.

However, the biggest highlight of the Golden League Paris station is the return of another world record-level track and field star. She is the American female flying star Marion Jones. She will compete in the women's 100-meter dash.

Mari Jones is the most dazzling star in the women's sprint event. She has broken world records in both the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. Her best time of 49.59 seconds in the 400-meter dash is also the world's top level. The best long jump result of 7.31 meters would be enough to win the championship if placed in the Athens Olympics. At the same time, she can also play basketball, football, baseball, and even joined the WNBA as a player.

In 2003, Jones and Montgomery, the two world record holders, had a child. Then Jones was also involved in a doping scandal and only recently returned to compete.

There are obviously more contestants in Paris than in Oslo. For example, in the men's 100-meter dash, the weaker players first have to compete in Group B, and some athletes are eliminated, and the remaining ones enter the main race of the 100-meter dash.

As the world record holder, Zhang Guan naturally has no need to participate in the 100m Group B competition. However, the schedule this time is still very unfavorable to Zhang Guan. The men's 400-meter dash will be held at 17:40 in the afternoon, Paris time, while the 100-meter final will be held at 18:35, less than an hour apart. Excluding the competition time and entry and exit time, Zhang Guan will be given a break. The time is only forty minutes.

The 400-meter sprint event requires athletes to consume all their energy before the finish line. If there is still a lot of energy left after running 400 meters, it proves that there is a problem with the athlete's energy distribution during the competition. In world-class competitions, we occasionally see athletes exhausted after running 400 meters and being carried out of the stadium.

It would be okay if you run 100 meters first and then 400 meters. After all, running 100 meters is not as energy-intensive as running 400 meters. A one-hour rest period can restore a lot of physical strength; but running 400 meters first and then 100 meters, before The physical strength consumed in 400 meters cannot be recovered in just one hour.

Therefore, in the opinion of those professionals, under this kind of schedule arrangement, Zhang Guan will definitely give up one of the events to ensure another event. If he gives up the 400 meters, then he will definitely use a more conservative running method in the 400 meters race. Reduce physical exertion; and if he gives up the 100 meters, Zhang Guan will definitely try his best in the 400 meters, and then he will have no physical strength in the 100 meters event.

In fact, this is the first time for everyone to encounter this situation. No athlete has ever participated in two events in the same Golden League at the same time. Runners only run once, so the rules have never considered athletes taking a break. question.

"Coach, I will go all out this time. I will not be as careless as last time and will not give Zhang Guan another chance!" Varina said decisively.

Coach Hart looked confident at this time. He nodded to Varina confidently: "Jeremy, I believe in you. You are the strongest 400-meter runner in the world. I have never said this." There was no doubt in my mind that you would never make the same mistake twice. And the reality was very much in our favour."

Coach Hart took the schedule and said: "Fifty-five minutes after the 400-meter race is the 100-meter dash race. Zhang Guan's actual rest time is probably only forty minutes, so he will definitely give up one of them. project to ensure the championship of another project. From the current situation, it seems that he is more likely to give up the 400-meter dash. After all, he is too advantageous in the 100-meter dash event. If it is only the 100-meter dash, Now it's almost certain that he can win six fights."

"But coach, Zhang Guan should be very good at physical recovery." Warina said.

"Yeah, this is the only thing I'm worried about. Although theoretically it's not possible to recover in forty minutes, Zhang Guan is an athlete who is very good at creating miracles, and many so-called theories don't hold true for him. ." Coach Hart turned to look at Varina and said seriously: "So in the upcoming game, you still have to go all out! Don't give Zhang Guan a chance."

The Golden League at this site begins with the 100-meter Group B competition, followed by the men's and women's 400-meter hurdles, followed by the men's 800 meters, women's 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters, and then the 400-meter race.

In the women's 400-meter dash that started first, American player Richards won the championship, continuing her unbeaten streak. Ten minutes later, the men's 400-meter dash will begin.

In addition to Varina, the U.S. team also has a black athlete named Locke. This athlete has performed well in domestic sports games in the United States, but rarely appears in world competitions.

The famous player Brown of the Bahamas and Taylor of Canada also participated in the competition. Since it was held in France, French local player Leslie Dejohn also participated in the competition.

But everyone also knows that the main attraction of the 400-meter dash is the showdown between Zhang Guan and Varina. The other players once again become foils. If Zhang Guan tactically chooses to give up the 400-meter dash, Varina Will undoubtedly become the champion.

The organizers also knew this and deliberately arranged Zhang Guan and Warina in adjacent lanes. Zhang Guan was in the third lane and Warina was in the fourth lane. These two lanes were in the 400-meter dash. The projects are all relatively golden.

"The game begins!" When the commentator's voice fell, the athletes on the field had already run several steps, and there were deafening cheers. Half of them were for the local player Leslie Dejon, and the other half It's for Zhang Guan and Warina.

Perhaps because of the local competition, Deqiong seemed very excited and his acceleration seemed very fast, while other athletes were quite satisfactory and there was no change in their running methods.

Warina secretly glanced at Zhang Guan behind him, and he felt that Zhang Guan's speed was about the same as in the previous game.

"The speed is still so fast. Aren't you ready to give up the 400 meters? Do you think that if you can run under 44 seconds, you will be able to defeat me? Don't underestimate me too much. If you consume too much energy now, the 100 meters champion will also be able to do it in a while. It’s no guarantee that you’ll be disappointed if you lose both the 400m and 100m championships at the same time!”

Varina thought as he made adjustments and prepared to enter the straight runway.

Next to Coach Hart, another American sprint coach said: "It seems that Zhang Guan has not given up on the 400 meters! In this case, the physical exertion will be too great. After a while, Powell may have a chance to win the 100-meter dash." .”

Coach Hart shook his head: "We have just started running now, and it is still difficult to say. Only after entering the 300 meters can we determine whether Zhang Guan gave up on the 400 meters... Huh? His pace range? Is it so much bigger? He wants to learn from Wari Na’s technology!”

On the track, Zhang Guan had already run a distance of more than 20 meters on the straight track.
