Zhang Guan had already expected the trials. After learning that the trials were going to be held, Zhang Guan immediately agreed and rushed to the ice training base in Northeast China without stopping.
The national team's training locations for different events are different. For example, figure skating is mainly trained at the Capital Gymnasium in the capital, while short track speed skating athletes spend most of their time training at the ice training base in Ice City.
Short track speed skating and speed skating are two different events. The two events are different in terms of tracks, equipment, rules, and even the details of the skates used. First of all, in terms of venue, speed skating uses a track with a circumference of 400 meters, which is composed of two straight lanes and two arcs. From the inner diameter alone, it is similar to a track and field venue; while short track speed skating uses a track of 30 meters by 60 meters. The length of a single lap is only 111.12 meters, which is much smaller than the speed skating venue. Many people call speed skating the "highway" and short track speed skating the "trail."
In terms of rules, speed skating is a lane competition. During the competition, there are two people in a team, one in the inner lane and one in the outer lane. They start on the same level. In the lane changing area, the two athletes have to switch tracks, that is, inside The one on the outer lane skates on the outer lane, and the one on the outer lane skates on the inner lane. Use this method to ensure that the distance covered by the two athletes is the same.
Short track speed skating does not run in separate lanes. Athletes can overtake the former at any time after starting. This is somewhat like the middle and long-distance running competitions in track and field, except that the speed is faster, the venue is smaller, and the viewing is more exciting.
In terms of sports equipment, short track speed skating skates are long and thin, and in order to facilitate cornering, the skates are not fixed in the middle of the soles, but have a certain tilt angle. Generally speaking, the left and right skates are tilted to the left about 15 degrees. The skates of speed skating have only one fixed point, which is a "slipper" type. During the competition, the athletes' back heels often leave the skates; while the skates of figure skating have serrations and grooves.
The ice blades of short track speed skating are very sharp, especially in high-speed sports. The ice blades can easily cut people's skin. If they cut the aorta, it is not impossible to cause death. Therefore, athletes must wear protective gear during competitions. The protective clothing used by short track speed skaters is made of special fibers. The raw materials are the same as those used in bulletproof vests. Under normal circumstances, ice skates cannot cut them. They must also wear gloves, neck guards, knee pads, and helmets.
The gloves are also made of special materials. Because short track speed skating slides counterclockwise, athletes must use their left hand to support the ground when cornering, so the fingers of the left hand of the gloves have also been specially treated.
Zhang Guan also bought two sets of equipment in order to participate in the trials. The price of the equipment is not cheap. One set of equipment costs more than 200,000 from head to toe. The national team's equipment must be customized according to each person's situation, so the price will still be high. higher.
…
On the plane flying to Ice City, Zhang Guan seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but he was actually reviewing short-track speed skating skills in the system.
Zhang Guan has been participating in Formula One racing this year, and skill points can also be obtained in this competition.
The first one in qualifying can get 1 skill point, the champion in the main competition can get 1 skill point, and the champion who wins both qualifying and main competition can get 1 additional skill point, which means that the most you can get in one game is 3 skill points. This is equivalent to winning a world championship in track and field. Considering that the entry threshold for F1 is much more difficult than that of a world-class track and field grand prix, Zhang Guan feels that three skill points in a racing competition are not too many. In this way, Zhang Guan's fourteen victories only amounted to about twenty skill points.
However, starting from the three-game winning streak, each victory will gain an additional skill point. Starting from the five-game winning streak, he will gain two additional skill points. Zhang Guan has achieved a total of eight consecutive wins and a six-game winning streak, so Gained an additional 16 skill points. At the same time, he broke Schumacher's records of seven consecutive wins in the season and thirteen wins in the season, and earned 4 skill points each. Therefore, Zhang Guan has been busy for more than half a year and has earned more than 40 skill points. This is enough for Zhang Guan to upgrade his short track speed skating skills to the master level.
"Skating sprint, skating curve sprint, skating incomplete sprint activation, these three skills have similar effects to the skills of track and field. The ice and snow tumbler skill increases the body's balance ability in ice and snow sports. The name of this skill is quite nice. Learn it. Reaching the master level can increase your body's ability to maintain balance in ice and snow sports by 100%. The most feared thing in ice and snow sports is falling, so you must learn the master level. Skills Short track speed skating skills, which are specialized skills in short track speed skating events .Short track speed skating hedgehog skill? This is the magic skill of short track speed skating!"
Zhang Guan read the description of this skill carefully. The basic level can invalidate the opponent's interference, the intermediate level can reflect the interference to the opponent, and the advanced level can not only invalidate the opponent's interference, but also reflect the interference to the opponent. The interference referred to here includes inadvertent contact by the opponent and intentional fouls.
Short track speed skating is a sport without lane separation, and it is normal for athletes to have physical contact during the competition. In middle and long-distance running in track and field, athletes will have accidental physical contact, but in faster short-track speed skating, physical contact can be said to be completely unavoidable.
The rules have clear regulations on physical contact between athletes. Intentionally using any part of the body to hinder, push, pull, hit, or block other athletes can be considered a foul. However, the situation of the game is ever-changing, and everyone is moving at high speed. Many times, referees need to watch slow-motion replays to accurately determine whether there is a foul. Sometimes athletes play some dirty tricks, the range of movement is very small or very hidden, and the referee may not be able to see it on the spot.
In order to win, some countries will even sacrifice one of them to help their teammates. For example, if the Korean team has more than two players entering the finals, in order to ensure that they get the final gold medal, they will sacrifice one person's intentional foul to create interference for the opponent and ensure that the other person gets the gold medal.
Since short track speed skating is very fast, in many cases just a slight push on the shoulder or a slight pull on the arm is enough to affect the opponent's speed and change the outcome of the game. Therefore, short track speed skating is not only a competition of technique and speed. Sometimes intentional fouling is also a way to win.
Zhang Guan's short-track speed skating hedgehog skill, after mastering it, can not only ignore interference, but also reflect the opponent's interference. For example, if your opponent pushes you, you are not affected in any way, but you are the one pushing him. Instead, he fell. This is really like a hedgehog. Don't touch me if you have nothing to do. Whoever touches me will get hurt.
There is a lot of information to check for a new project, and I don’t want to make any loopholes when passing the test, so I’m sorry for the delay.
