False starts are often used as a tactic in official games.
Under the current rules, if there is a false start at the first start, the start will be re-started; but if there is still a false start the second time, the false starter will be sentenced to a foul and withdraw from the race. This rule will be changed by the IAAF to a "zero false start" rule in the future.
It is also this kind of regulation that many athletes will use the technique of pressing the gun to gain a few tenths of a second for themselves when they start in the first false start. However, athletes who start the second time will use it because they are afraid of being withdrawn from the race. A more conservative start.
Tactical false starts can also disrupt the opponent's rhythm of the game, especially when the team has multiple players in the same group. Because teammates in the same group know that the first shot is a false start, they will focus on the second shot. However, the opponent does not know that and will focus on the first shot. Especially young athletes who lack competition experience can easily He was caught in the attack and was disrupted by a tactical false start that disrupted the rhythm of the game.
Now the Japanese team has three players participating in the finals, and Kobayashi Keikazu believes that Zhang Guanqing lacks competition experience, so he chooses to use the false start tactic, which will undoubtedly maximize the effect of the false start tactic.
The reason why Kobayashi Keikazu arranged for Asahara Nobuharu to implement a front-running tactic was not only because Asahara Nobuharu had rich experience in competitions, but also to protect Suetsugu Shingo, who was in good condition. Kobayashi Keikazu still hopes that Sutsugo Shingo can continue his performance at the World Championships and win a gold medal for the Japanese team.

In the reception room of the General Administration of Sport of China, Section Chief Yang of the Publicity Section served tea to the reporters around him with a smile on his face.
Yesterday afternoon, Section Chief Yang received calls from some media to verify whether Zhang Guan was a national second-level athlete. Then Section Chief Yang personally checked the athlete information and found that Zhang Guan was really only a national second-level athlete in the information database. Section Chief Yang was also shocked at the time and thought there was something shady. He immediately asked the Athletics Association for confirmation, only to learn that Zhang Guan had just broken the national record in the men's 100-meter race.
Since he is the national record holder, there is definitely no problem in joining the national team and representing the country in international competitions. So early this morning, Section Chief Yang called in several reporters he was familiar with, hoping to clarify this matter. matter.
Section Chief Yang took out a thick stack of manuscript paper and said: "Regarding this matter, our sports association has contacted the Athletics Association and verified it. Zhang Guan was in the domestic selection of the Asian Track and Field Championships two months ago. Won the championship and broke the national record with a time of 10.16 seconds. Since Zhang Guan is the champion of the trials and the holder of the national record, it is natural to represent the country in the Asian Track and Field Championships."
All the reporters present looked like they were suddenly enlightened, but then one person immediately asked: "Such an excellent athlete should be at the level of an international athlete, but what about the national second-level athletes? Is it convenient for Section Chief Yang? Reveal it.”
"Okay. This matter starts with our national athlete system. As you know, the results of sports are constantly being refreshed. A large number of outstanding athletes will emerge in every competition. Since the collection of athlete information in various provinces and cities is not complete, Synchronization, so we stipulate that we conduct a summary every six months and enter relevant information about new athletes and changes in original athletes into the system. Zhang Guan broke the national record in July, and according to regulations, Zhang Guan’s information on international athletes must be updated at the end of the year It can only be entered into the system after aggregation, so if you query it now, Zhang Guan is still a national second-level athlete."
After Section Chief Yang finished speaking, he showed a very sincere expression and continued: "On behalf of the Sports Federation, I am very grateful to the media friends for their supervision in this matter. I can guarantee that the selection of athletes for our national team will be based on fairness and fairness. Based on the principles of fairness and openness, we will select the best among the best, so please rest assured!”
…
Section Chief Yang's clarification was quickly released through the media, but many media and ordinary people did not buy it. On the contrary, it had some counterproductive effects. One of the great characteristics of ordinary people in China is that when faced with certain rumors, some people will believe it at first and some people will not believe it. But as soon as the official refutes the rumor, those who originally did not believe it will also believe it.
The first thing that jumped out was a well-known blogger. He wrote:
"The athlete database of the General Administration of Sports shows that Zhang Guan passed the national second-level athlete test in May this year. His score at that time was 11.30 seconds. But just two months later, his score reached 10.16 seconds, which was a whole improvement. 1.14 seconds, so what is the reason that made his performance improve so much in just two months? We all know that it is extremely difficult for high-level athletes to improve their performance by 0.01 seconds every time. An improvement of 1.14 seconds in two months The result is simply unimaginable, not to mention a result that breaks the national record.”
“A young man who was only 17 years old completed his transformation from a national second-level athlete to a 100-meter national record holder in just two months. We don’t know what happened during this period. But one thing we can be sure of is that the title of a national record holder is enough for this young man to enter any university in the country without having to pass the brutal college entrance examination. This result makes me daydream... "
Compared with this blogger, the comments from the majority of netizens were much more intense. Even at that time, the Internet was not as developed as it would later be, and the number of netizens was not that huge, but trolls were always indispensable.
"Who would believe this explanation? Do you think we are fools?"
"The national record must be fake! You must have paid for it."
"It's not just that I'm embarrassed at home, this time I'm going to be embarrassed abroad."
"XXX of the Sports Federation should resign, and taxpayers should stop spending money to support these losers!"
Domestic people generally don't believe what the official says, so often the more they explain, the darker the picture becomes. Coupled with the fueling of some unscrupulous media, even a normal thing can be elevated to the level of morality. standards, occasionally a bad case will have disastrous consequences for the entire industry through media hype and public suspicion.
For a time, public opinion continued to ferment.

In Japan, Ichiro Erikochi was lying on the tatami, enjoying his weekend time.
His son Masashi Erikochi came out of the room and said, "Dad, have the Asian Track and Field Championships started?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon." Ichiro Eriguchi pointed at the TV.
The baseball league had just ended. After a few commercials, the live broadcast of the Asian Athletics Championships was cut. The live broadcast was the men's 100-meter final of the Asian Athletics Championships.
Since Shingo Sutsuzu won the bronze medal in the men's 100 meters at the World Championships a month ago, Japan has also set off a track and field craze, and with Shingo Sutsuzu participating in the Asian Track and Field Championships, the TV station naturally cannot let go of this opportunity. Decisively live broadcast the finals.
Speaking of which, Shingo Sutsutsu's bronze medal is not very valuable. None of the top sprinters in the world participated in that World Track and Field Championships. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to win it with Shingo Sutsutsu's score of less than 10 seconds. bronze medal.
Although Ichiro Erikochi's son, Masashi Erikochi, is only fifteen years old, he is already a sprinter in school. Because of his excellent sprinting ability, he has been valued by several well-known high school sports departments and has been given the opportunity to enroll. The sports coach of Japan's most famous Waseda University also came to Tsukahara's house to inspect the situation of Masashi Erikochi.
At this time, the athletes were being introduced on the TV.
The first one was Chen Jian. At the same time as Chen Jian's figure appeared on the TV screen, his best score this year and his best score in history also appeared below, both 10.17 seconds. The TV station's commentator only briefly introduced his name.
"Is the best time only 10.17 seconds? This is much slower than Sutsugo Shingo." Ichiro Erikochi said.
The second one was Ha Beibei, and his best score was about the same as Chen Jian; while the third one, Shen Bao, was not as good as the previous two.
The fourth track is Japanese player Nobuharu Asahara, with a historical best time of 10.02 seconds and a best time of 10.09 seconds this year, both within 10.1 seconds.
"This is Nobuharu Asahara. He is a figure of the same era as Ito Koji, and can be regarded as a senior in the Japanese cannon world." Ichiro Erikochi touched his beard, and the person who appeared in the fifth line was Suetsu Shingo.
"This is Shingo Suetsugu. The fastest time this year is 10.03 seconds! Naoki, work hard, maybe you can surpass Shingo Suetsugu in the future!" Ichiro Erikochi said to Masashi Erikochi, and the scene could be heard on the TV. of cheers.
Sutsu Shingo listened to the cheers around him, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Then he looked at Zhang Guan in the eighth lane on the right, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Next in lane six is Japanese player Hiroyuki Tsuchie, which means three Japanese players are lined up together. Professional sports people immediately realized that the arrangement of the game was equivalent to giving special care to the Japanese team, especially Shingo Suetsugu. He was protected by two teammates in the middle, so he did not have to worry about the rhythm of the game being disrupted.
The seventh lane is Mubarak, a player from Saudi Arabia. The fastest time in history was 10.13 seconds set last year, but judging from this time, he still cannot pose a threat to Suzuki Shingo.
At this time, Ichiro Erikochi next to the TV had a winner's smile on his face. Judging from the results, the athletes from other countries were more than 0.1 seconds slower than Shingo Sutsutsu. This is already two levels in the 100-meter dash. There was a duel, so Ichiro Erikochi believed that Sutsutsu Shingo would definitely win.
Finally, the camera zoomed to the final stretch, and at the bottom of the screen, the fastest time in history and the widest time this year of 10 seconds came into Ichiro Erikochi's eyes.
"What? Exactly 10 seconds! Faster than Suetsugu Shingo and Asahara Nobuharu!" Erikochi Ichiro and Erikochi Masashi exclaimed.
The voice of the sports commentator on the TV sounded: "Contestant Zhang's time of 10 seconds was achieved under super wind speed..."
The commentator began to talk endlessly about the meaning of super wind speed, as if super wind speed had a huge advantage.
Ichiro Eriguchi let out a long breath: "It turns out that the result was achieved by super wind speed, but it is also amazing. It may pose a certain threat to Shingo Sutsutsu, and Shingo Sutsutsu will still win."
However, Masashi Erikouchi frowned, and now he thought unhappily: "He is only two years older than me, but he can appear in the international arena..."
And the race to be the fastest man in Asia is about to begin.
