Entering the straightaway, Varina entered his first advantageous area. His steps became larger and larger, and his speed also increased to a higher level. At this time, it can be clearly seen that the distance between him and Deqiong in the fifth lane is getting smaller and smaller, but the frequency of steps is similar to Deqiong.
Of the two athletes, Varina is 1.83 meters tall and Dejun is 1.87 meters tall. In terms of leg length, Dejun has the advantage. It stands to reason that if the two have the same pace frequency, Dejun should be taller. It's faster, but now Varina is faster than Dejon, which shows that Warina's pace is more than one and a half times larger than Dejon.
"Zhang Guan is about the same speed as me at the starting stage, but his speed in the final sprint is almost comparable to that of an average 200-meter sprinter. However, between 100 meters and 300 meters, his speed is slower than mine. If I want To defeat Zhang Guan, we must accumulate enough advantages in the distance from 100 meters to 300 meters. I think in this straight distance, Zhang Guan is almost 0.8 seconds behind me! I will take the lead after entering the corner. He has an advantage of 0.8 seconds. With such an advantage of more than 1.5 seconds, I don’t believe he can finally come back!” Varina thought as he began to adjust and prepare to enter the next corner.
Varina likes to run faster after entering the second corner. His cornering skills can be said to be the best in the world, so compared with other athletes, he must be better at high-speed running in corners. Advantage.
Finally, Varina entered the second corner, and at the same time, he also used the arc of the corner to observe Zhang Guan. He wanted to see how far behind Zhang Guan was and estimate how long he would take the lead.
However, when Warina looked behind him on the left, what he saw was Zhang Guanzheng preparing to enter the corner.
…
Coach Hart is constantly analyzing various possibilities in his mind.
"Why did Zhang Guan use this running method? He must have known that it would consume more energy and that his energy distribution would encounter problems in the second half of the race. Could it be that he was ready to give up the 400-meter race?" Coach Hart himself shook his head and dismissed the idea.
"If he gave up the 400-meter race, it would be better to run the same way as the last race, always running at the same frequency, so that he could retain more energy. However, he did not do that. He tried to run after entering the straight By changing his running method, his strides became wider, indicating that his speed was faster. Could it be that Zhang Guan decided to give it a try and win the 400-meter dash championship!"
Coach Hart's face became more solemn. World-class athletes will not easily change their technical characteristics. Once they take the initiative to change, it means that the new technology will inevitably lead to faster running and higher jumps. , Throw further...
"Last month, Zhang Guan didn't run like this. Has Zhang Guan changed his running method in just one month? The time is wrong! It's already July, no one will change his technique at this time Yes!" Hart frowned.
Generally, track and field athletes change their techniques in the winter. There are no track and field competitions during this season. Athletes begin to change old techniques and try new ones. By May and June, various track and field events begin. , athletes will test new technologies during competitions and continuously improve them. By July and August, new technologies will gradually mature. This is also a period when athletes are more likely to achieve good results. Many world records in track and field are set. It appeared during this period.
In addition, some athletes will choose to change their skills during the recovery period from injuries, and most of them are forced to change their skills to avoid being injured again. In this case, it would be good to ensure that performance does not decline.
Now that we have entered July, all kinds of track and field competitions throughout the year will end in more than two months. It is impossible for athletes to change their skills at this juncture. The schedule is so tight and the competition is so fierce. If athletes change their skills at this point in time, it is easy to cause the new technology to be used poorly and the old technology to be used poorly, which will actually affect their performance.
…
While Coach Hart was puzzled, Varina's face froze.
"I don't seem to have the lead!" Warina made the most accurate judgment with just one glance. Based on his experience, he can judge the advantages and disadvantages at any point on the track without having to go to the end. straight runway.
"What's going on? Zhang Guan changed his running method? Did he accelerate on the straight track just now?" Varina also entered the curve area with a trace of doubt, and he began to accelerate.
Rapid acceleration after entering the curve from the straight is the technical characteristic of Varina. For him, running around corners is also a very handy thing, because his cornering skills are also among the best in the world.
In the corner, although Varina's steps became smaller, the frequency of his steps became much faster, so his speed did not decrease as a result. And when he slowed down a little and started to make adjustments, he was already in the lead.
Varina felt that this race had entered its own rhythm, and he would start sprinting on the final straight, and then defeat other athletes with his strong follow-up sprint ability.
At this time, the Frenchman De Jong slowly caught up from behind and gradually caught up with Varina. When the two were about to enter the final straight track, they were even in a neck-and-neck situation.
Deqiong's running method is quite special. His speed in the first 100 meters is not very fast. In the second 100 meters, he will run at a faster speed, but it is not a very hard speed increase. His fastest running stage is in the second 100 meters. Three 100 meters, which also shows that his skills in running corners are good. Among the top athletes in the world, there are few who can run the third 100 meters faster than the second 100 meters, and Dejon is one of them.
"Deqiong's sprint ability at the end is not weak. Although he is not as good as me, he can still pose a threat to me. I have to speed up!" Warina had already begun to accelerate at this time and made the final sprint.
At this moment, Varina heard Coach Hart shout: "Jeremy, try your best, try your best, Zhang is catching up!"
Warina's heart tightened again. He remembered the last match in the Golden League, where Zhang Guan surpassed him at the end.
"Zhang Guanding's speed seems to be faster than last time. Has he improved again? I have to try my best and never give Zhang Guanding a chance!" Warina secretly glanced at Zhang Guanding's position, and The steps under his feet also truly reflected his thoughts.
Compared with the last race, Zhang Guan's level has indeed improved, and his performance in corners is even better than last month. This is the case in sports. The progress of beginners is always more obvious, and they may make more obvious progress in a month. However, experienced athletes seem to be at the same level after practicing for a year and a half.
Varina was ahead of Dejon and entered the final straight track first, and Dejon was not to be outdone. He began to accelerate, preparing to challenge Warina. Dejun once ran seventh in the 400-meter final of the Athens Olympics. He is the first person in Europe in the 400-meter. Although he is not as good as Varina, he definitely has the strength to challenge Varina.
However, today Dejun met a Varina who was ready to give his best, so at the beginning of the sprint, Dejun fell behind. At this moment, Zhang Guan also began to sprint.
Zhang Guan once again showed a speed that does not belong to 400 meters, and the audience was very cooperative. First there was a sound of surprise, and then there was a roar like a mountain and a tsunami.
Varina watched the video of the last Golden League Oslo game hundreds of times. He clearly remembered that when Zhang Guan started to accelerate, the audience let out a cry of surprise, followed by violent shouts. At that time, Varina Reena thought the audience was cheering him on. This time at the Paris station, Varina heard this reaction from the audience again. He knew that the cheers were not for him, but for Zhang Guan.
"The final battle is about to begin! I won't lose again!" Varina's expression became more serious, and the eyes under his sunglasses also exuded a strong fighting spirit and determination to win.
Zhang Guan, who was behind, caught up with Frenchman De Jong and then overtook him in an instant.
"Why is it so fast! This is the speed of a 200-meter athlete!" Although Deqiong had watched the Oslo competition video and knew that Zhang Guan could perform a speed that was not weaker than the 200-meter sprint in the final sprint, but at the same time Encountering this real situation in a competition, Deqiong still couldn't help being surprised.
…
"Zhang Guan started to accelerate, so fast! Far faster than the others! He has surpassed Deqiong and is chasing Varina! He is about to catch up! He is about to catch up!" Although the voice of the on-site commentary was very loud , but it was covered up by the cheers of the audience. At this time, the entire audience stood up and stared at the final straight track with wide eyes. These few seconds will be the most exciting moment of the entire game. .
As Zhang Guan surpassed Deqiong, the cheers in the stadium became louder, and this increasingly loud cheers were like a reminder in Warina's ears, letting him know that Zhang Guan was getting better and better. The closer.
"My speed has reached the limit, and I don't have much energy left, but the end is right in front of me... Wait a minute, it's not time to let down your guard yet. As long as you haven't crossed the finish line, you can't let down your guard. In the last game, it was Because I let my guard down at the last moment, I lost the game!" Varina once again thought of the last failure, and with the lessons learned from the past, he did not relax at all.
"There are still ten meters to go before the finish line! Come on, keep it up!" Varina couldn't help but cheer for himself, and at this moment, there was a figure on his left side running alongside him.
"It's Zhang Guan! He's catching up!" This scene was so familiar to Varina. Zhang Guan caught up with him in the last ten meters, as if it was a repeat of the previous Oslo station.
The two once again made the move to cross the line at the same time, but in fact, Zhang Guan was faster than Varina. Then, the two crossed the finish line.
"Same as the last game, I lost again, at the last moment! I was overtaken by Zhang Guan again in the last five meters!" This repetition of history made Warina clearly feel that the game The result was the same as last time in Oslo. I lost at the last minute again! Maybe it was lost in the last 0.1 seconds.
"I definitely ran within 44 seconds this time, but I still lost to Zhang Guan! The previous 43.99 seconds was not Zhang Guan's limit. I still underestimated him!" Varina turned his attention to the scoreboard. I want to know the final score. .
Varina's final time was 43.82 seconds, which was his personal best time in the competition. This time was enough to rank among the top 20 in the history of the 400-meter dash.
But this result was not enough for Varina to win, because Zhang Guan was faster than him!
Zhang Guan’s time was 43.67 seconds!
It was the tenth-best time ever in the 400-meter dash.
