Almighty Athlete

Chapter 2: Test again

Views:

At the finish line, the examiner in charge of timing showed the timepiece in his hand and said at the same time: "First track, 11 seconds 45!"

"Second track, 11 seconds 30" said another examiner.

"Third track, 11 seconds 48" said the last examiner.

Zhang Guan let out a long breath and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He was in the second lane in the middle, which meant that he was the one who achieved the time of 11.30 seconds. According to the selection standards for national-level athletes, the standard time for a national second-level athlete in the men's 100-meter sprint is 11.5 seconds by hand or 11.74 seconds by electronic clock. According to his hand-timed score of 11.30, he has reached the standard for a national second-level athlete.

Zhang Guan knew that he did not have extraordinary talent in sports. According to the original process, he only reached the level of a national second-level athlete in the test a year later. In fact, ordinary people can basically reach this standard through training. But now he was able to run 11.30 seconds despite a slow start. This shows that it must be the work of the so-called "system" in his mind. Especially when the system said that the effect was over, Zhang Guan clearly felt that his speed had dropped. This is further illustrated.

"Newbie mission: use one skill to complete and unlock the time display." At the same time as the system's voice sounded, something similar to a multi-functional timing card appeared in Zhang Guan's mind.

Then a prompt pops up: "The time display can accurately display the time spent on exercise, remaining time, round time, etc. The specific display type changes with the type of exercise."

"What is this?" Zhang Guan was stunned, and carefully read the content of the prompt, confirming that this was probably a timing function.

In the distance, Coach Zhou of the provincial track and field team looked at Zhang Guan at the finish line and frowned.

Coach Zhou only turned around after the old man pointed at Zhang Guan. At that time, the three candidates on the track had already started running, so Coach Zhou did not see the starting process. However, Zhang Guan's acceleration and overtaking of the other two candidates was later noticed. Coach Zhou has a panoramic view.

"This kid's speed is so fast! It feels like he can reach the level of a professional athlete. Huh? 11 seconds 30? How could this happen? According to the speed he just passed the other two people, he shouldn't be so slow!" Coach Zhou commented.

"It's not 11 seconds 30, it should be 10 seconds 30." The old man suddenly said: "He was distracted at the start and was a second behind."

Coach Zhou asked in surprise: "Teacher, are you saying that he started slowly and then ran 11.30 seconds? Can his real speed reach 10.30 seconds?"

"Yes, even if there is an error, it will not exceed 0.1 seconds." The old man said firmly.

"This is impossible. The hand meter is 0.24 seconds slower than the electric meter. 10 seconds 30 on the hand meter is equivalent to 10 seconds 54 on the electric meter. This is already close to the level of national-level athletes. In the test of second-level athletes, how could it be possible? A player with the level of an athlete appears? He looks like a high school student, and a national first-level athlete from high school can be considered very talented, but why do I have no impression of him at all?" Coach Zhou said.

As the head coach of the provincial track and field team, the selection of young athletes is naturally one of his jobs. Therefore, Coach Zhou also knows what good talents there are in the local area. However, to Coach Zhou, the Zhang Guan in front of him is obviously a stranger.

In the men's 100-meter sprint event, the standard time for national first-level athletes is 10.93 seconds electronically timed, and it is different from the testing and grading method for second-level athletes. First-level athletes and above must achieve standard results in official competitions. Only then can it be recognized. Based on the current domestic average level, among sports school students or high school students who specialize in sports, relatively outstanding people can reach this level.

But after reaching the level of national first-level athletes, every 0.1 second improvement is extremely difficult. In the men's 100-meter sprint event, the national-level athletes who are higher than first-level athletes have a standard score of 10.50 seconds. Although there is only a 0.43 second difference between the results of top-level athletes and international-level athletes, for many athletes, this 0.43 seconds is already an insurmountable gap.

Asia's sprinting level has always been at the bottom of the world, and domestic sprinting level can be considered above average in Asia. In other sports, there may be national-level athletes among high school students, but in track and field sprints, no one under the age of 18 can reach the level of national-level athletes. Because of this, Coach Zhou simply refused to believe what Zhang Guan had just accomplished.

"Xiao Zhou, maybe our team has really found a treasure this time." The old man hurried forward and continued: "Go check this kid's information for me, I have to let him run again!"

Zhang Guan stood on the starting line again, feeling that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange.

The other candidates had already left, and even the original examiner who was timing the time at the finish line was replaced by an old man and a middle-aged man.

Recalling what happened just now, Zhang Guanyue felt uneasy.

The examiner of the test called him aside alone and asked him to run again. Zhang Guan asked if his previous score of 11.30 seconds was valid. The examiner told him that the 11.30 seconds he had just run was still valid and he should go back and wait for the second place. A qualification certificate for a level 1 athlete would be fine. This made Zhang Guan even more puzzled. Since the results were valid, why did he have to run again

What's more important is that the examiner encouraged him to run well before leaving, and even told him that if he ran well, he might be able to be admitted to the university.

Zhang Guan knew that excellent athletes could be recommended to college, but he had never heard that people with good scores in the National Level 2 Athletes Examination could be recommended to everyone.

In confusion, Zhang Guan stood on the track.

In my mind, the green icon still appears there, but now the gray is gone and it can be used again.

"Get on your positions, get ready..." The starter raised the starting gun, but this time Zhang Guan was not distracted. With the "bang" of the gun, Zhang Guanjun immediately rushed out, and the moment he rushed out, Zhang Guan The "Sprint" skill is activated again.

Zhang Guan took a step forward, feeling his body become lighter again and his legs full of strength.

At the same time, the time bar that had just appeared on the interface also moved. A timer accurate to milliseconds kept beating, indicating the time it took Zhang Guan to reach 100 meters this time.

In the distance, the attention of the athletes waiting to enter training was focused here, and several athletes practicing sprinting even came to the front row to watch the game.

"This kid is so fast! Why do I feel like he is faster than me?" said an athlete in the 400-meter event.

"How is this possible?" Another person paused and continued: "He is an amateur. Look at the angle when he started. It is completely wrong, and his pace and rhythm are not good either. Although you are practicing 400 Meter, but not as good as an amateur's 100 meters... "

As the man spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller. He obviously felt a little guilty. We are all professional athletes, but they are extremely sensitive to speed and the passage of time. Years of training have long given them the ability to calculate time. Ability, even if there is no electronic timer in hand, you can get a time with extremely small error just by feeling.

10 seconds of sprint skill is not enough to support Zhang Guan to run the entire 100-meter distance. In the last distance, Zhang Guan can only rely on his own explosive power and inertia to cross the finish line. Without the support of sprint skill, his speed will obviously slow down. It can also be distinguished with the naked eye.

The old man and Coach Zhou each held a timer in their hands. The moment Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, they both stopped the timer at the same time. But after they saw the time on their own timers, they both immediately looked at each other's timers.

"Sure enough, the plan is right!"

"There's nothing wrong with the timer!"

The two said at the same time.

At this moment, the timers in both people's hands show the same time: 10.38 seconds.

When they first saw the time, neither of them believed the number, so they looked at each other's timer in unison, but when they saw the same number, they accepted the reality.

Looking at the timer in his hand, Coach Zhou suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "This is the second time he has run. If calculated according to the level of professional athletes, he ran two consecutive times in such a short period of time. times, the second time the results will inevitably drop, which means that the real time of his first run is really 10 seconds 30! So he really has the level of a national athlete! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and measured the speed with his own hands, I couldn't believe it at all."

The old man nodded: "His limit is definitely not here. His explosive power and speed are very good, but judging from his starting process and the rhythm of his steps, he must be an amateur athlete who has just learned sprinting. I guess he can only learn sprinting. A month or so. And in the final stage, his speed slowed down significantly, and his pace became chaotic. It was obvious that he was exhausted. Young people's physical strength is inherently worse than that of adults, and beginners do not know how to allocate physical strength. This is normal. . But even so, he can achieve such results, he is not only a good prospect, but also has unlimited future!"

As the old man spoke, he turned to Coach Zhou and said, "He is a genius, a genius we have never encountered before! No matter what, we must get him to our track and field team!"

Coach Zhou nodded fiercely: "Teacher, don't worry, these students who come to take the second-level athlete examination are all students who are going to college. We have one person recommended to the Provincial Sports University, and the Provincial Sports University is also the same. This college, and few people who practice sports have good academic performance, so the qualification of being recommended by this college should impress him."
