Chapter 205: Cross the line towards the world record

Views:

The race has just started and the athletes are still in the curve. Due to the different starting positions, it is difficult for ordinary spectators to tell who is in front and who is behind.

In the process of cornering, Bolt actually does not have much advantage. Bolt is 1.96 meters tall and his legs are very long, so his technical characteristics are destined to take a relatively large step. Bolt's stride range can reach 2.53 meters, in comparison, the legendary American flying star Carl Lewis, who is 1.91 meters tall, has a stride range of only 2.32 meters. However, when running in curves, if the stride width is too long, it is actually not conducive to adjustment in the curve. Fortunately, Bolt's flexibility is very good, so even if he cannot take advantage of running in curves, he will not Suffer.

European Championship champion Obikwelu ran quite well. Although Obikwelu can dominate in Europe, in world-class competitions, he is a player on the verge of winning medals, especially as he ages. With growth, Obikeweru, who is almost 30 years old, is no longer as brave as he was in the past, but his rich experience and excellent skills allow him to run very well in corners, and he gradually has a tendency to take the lead.

As for Zhang Guan, he is not a technical player to begin with. He wins by sheer speed. Of course, among athletes of his age, there are basically no technical players. However, Zhang Guan has been practicing the 400-meter sprint this year. Athletes in the 400-meter event generally have good cornering skills, so Zhang Guan's performance in corners seems to be better than other athletes.

"It's about to enter the straight track, who will be in the lead?" Everyone begins to pay attention to the moment when the athletes enter the straight track, especially for ordinary spectators, once they enter the straight track, it will be clear who is leading and who is lagging behind.

"Zhang Guan! It's Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan is in the lead! Sure enough, it's Zhang Guan who is in the lead!"

This result is also something that everyone expected. Among the contestants this time, top 200-meter athletes such as Sean Crawford and Xavier Carter did not participate. Bolt and Spearman were also in the eyes of the audience. It's just a young player. If Zhang Guan lags behind, it will make the audience feel strange.

But at this time, Zhang Guan felt extremely relaxed. To be precise, he was running with great feeling.

"Today seems to be a little different from usual! I feel like running today has a unique feeling. I haven't felt this feeling for a long time!" Zhang Guan felt that he was in a very happy mood at this time, as if he was really enjoying the race. generally.

At this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly realized that since he started to engage in track and field events, although he has won the championship in every competition, it has become increasingly difficult to enjoy the fun of the competition. And if playing is a completely unfun thing, why is he playing? Champion's honor? Audience attention? Or is it the skill points in the system

Suddenly, Zhang Guan realized his mistake. His starting point was wrong from the beginning. Athletes should indeed strive to be higher, faster and stronger, but they cannot simply compete just for the sake of competition. Every game may be regarded as an experience. The results are important, but Enjoying the process is equally important.

"Compared to other players, with such a perverted system, I am the one who should enjoy the game the most!" Zhang Guan generally thought, but the pace under his feet became more and more relaxed, and he gradually got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart. , and began to seriously feel the process of the game. But his speed was even faster!

Spearman entered the straight track. Although he is currently in a relatively lagging position, the gap behind is not large. In fact, in the 200-meter sprint competition, it is impossible for a contestant to gain an advantage enough to win in the first 100 meters. The key still depends on the final sprint.

Spearman estimated the distance between himself and Obikwelu, and felt happy. The next moment, he suddenly started to accelerate, and in an instant he was on par with Obikwelu.

"Huh? Spielman suddenly accelerated!" Obikeweru suddenly panicked, and his rhythm also showed a trace of panic at this moment.

Acceleration in sprinting often requires a process. If an athlete accelerates suddenly, it will have a great impact on the rhythm. Sometimes if the control is not good, the race may even collapse later in the race.

But Spearman is different. Sudden acceleration in the second half is his technical characteristic, and the most powerful thing about this technique is that it can disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Just like the current Obikwelu, when he found out that Spearman was catching up with him, his first reaction was to speed up so as not to be overtaken by Spielman, but Obikwelu did not dare to do what Spielman did. He suddenly changed his rhythm because he was completely unprepared to adjust his rhythm. This passive rhythm change really made him feel very uncomfortable.

Just when Obikewelu was adjusting himself, Spearman had already surpassed him and was chasing Bolt in front.

Spearman can become the strongest 200-meter runner among college students in the United States. He has the world's top strength. Now he is at his peak, although he is not as famous as veteran stars like Sean Crawford. , but not too inferior to Crawford in terms of strength.

There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger among American college students. Well-known American coaches are happy to teach in prestigious universities, and some American universities can also provide top training conditions. In addition, the scholarships provided by universities can attract outstanding talents, so many American college athletes are better than professional athletes. Even more powerful.

Spielman is such a player. He has excellent talent. He holds a scholarship from Arkansas State University and wears the appearance of a college student. He has repeatedly defeated powerful professional athletes in domestic competitions in the United States. Today, he has arrived in track and field. In the World Cup, the performance is still very outstanding.

One moment, he had just passed Obikewelu, the next moment, he was neck and neck with Bolt.

Bolt's biggest weapon in the future is his powerful sprinting ability. Whether in the 100-meter dash or the 200-meter dash, Bolt can win ten or twenty meters before the finish line. It is precisely because of his strong sprint ability. But the current Bolt has not yet reached the level of the future. He needs to gradually develop his powerful sprinting ability after starting to practice 100 meters in 2007, so the current Bolt cannot use his strongest weapon.

But Bolt was not as panicked as Obikwelu. Both are young players from the Americas, so Bolt has played against Spearman before, and Bolt is familiar with Spearman's technical characteristics.

"Are you suddenly speeding up again? Spearman is still using his old tricks! But when the speed is increased, I will not be inferior to you!" Bolt still speeded up according to his original rhythm, without any interference from Spearman. interference.

Spearman was obviously in very good condition today. After a brief stalemate, he gradually surpassed Bolt, but at this time Bolt's speed had not yet fully reached its peak.

"Bolt is still my loser! It's Zhang Guan's turn next!" Spearman thought silently, and then he rushed towards Zhang Guan in front.

Spearman entered the straight, then suddenly accelerated and completed the overtake of Obikewelu and Bolt. This process is very long to describe, but it actually took less than three seconds. Three seconds is obviously not enough for Zhang Guan to distance himself from other athletes, so in Spielman's view, the distance gap between him and Zhang Guan can be made up.

"Zhang Guan, I will surprise you!" There was a hint of ferocity in Spearman's eyes as he prepared to approach Zhang Guan.

However, the next second later, Spielman discovered that the script did not seem to be going as he had set. The distance between him and Zhang Guan did not shrink, but instead grew wider.

"Why is Zhang Guan so fast? Is he accelerating in advance? He has already noticed that I am chasing him!" Spearman thought silently.

Spielman didn't know that Zhang Guan didn't pay attention to him at all. At this time, Zhang Guan was beginning to learn to enjoy the game. He was immersed in the fun the game brought to him.

Unknowingly, the distance between Zhang Guan and Spearman, who was in second place, was getting wider and wider. At this time, the camera happened to move a little faster. As he neared the finish line, Spearman had already been caught. Zhang Guan was thrown out of the camera, and only a lonely figure of Zhang Guan was left running in the broadcast screen.

"Zhang Guan is accelerating! Accelerate! The speed is so fast! An unshakable lead! He rushes to the finish line! Zhang Guan!"

The commentator on the TV was shouting extremely excitedly, but the face of 200-meter world record holder Michael Johnson, who was sitting in front of the TV, became even more solemn. His butt even left the chair involuntarily, leaning forward, his eyes fixed on the game time given by the broadcaster in the lower right corner of the TV screen.

"Zhang Guan's speed today..." Johnson had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. At this moment, the broadcaster gave a comparative number above the changing game time display:

19.32, and in front of this number, the two letters "WR" are particularly conspicuous.

"WR", short for "worldrecord", means world record. 19.32 seconds is also the world record time of 200 meters. In international competitions, when athletes approach the finish line, the world record results are often displayed above the timing on the broadcast screen. At this time, more viewers will focus on this timing.

According to the current lead, there is no suspense about Zhang Guan winning the championship, so can he set a new world record

On the TV screen, there are two times juxtaposed up and down. The top is the world record result, and the numbers below are slowly approaching this result. As the two numbers got closer and closer, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

17… 18… 19… The numbers are getting closer and closer to 19.32 seconds.

Zhang Guan's speed also reached the extreme. One second he was still more than ten meters away from the finish line, and the next second he was already in front of the finish line.

Cross the line!
