Whether in a straight line or cornering, Zhang Guan showed the level of a professional short track speed skater. Although this surprised many people at the scene, it was not enough to cause any sensation. Now everyone's evaluation of Zhang Guan has only changed from "layman" to "insider".
If Zhang Guan showed such a level in an ordinary skating rink, many people would probably be shocked. The skills of short track speed skating cannot be practiced in a day or two, and it is not something that ordinary people can master. The fact that a layman can perform like this is enough for everyone to applaud.
But this is the ice training center for the national team. Everyone here is a professional short track speed skater, and they are among the top in the profession. Maybe they can't reach the level of No. 1 or No. 2 in the world, but there are still a few in the top ten or twenty in the world. In their eyes, reaching a professional level is not even enough to qualify for training here. If you don't have world-class skills, you can't even think of training here. Although Zhang Guan performed very well, in the eyes of these national short track speed skating players, he was not much different from Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of him.
At this time, other players on the sidelines did not feel nervous because of Zhang Guan's performance. Instead, they were still talking and laughing. Coach Li Bing also had a calm expression, even though Zhang Guan skated a few times without any mistakes. In the circle, coach Li Bing did not feel the slightest pressure.
Zhang Guan quickly adapted to this venue. As a training ground for the national team, the facilities must be first-class in the country. In addition, there is a test match today, so he re-processed the ice last night. The current venue conditions are absolutely Able to reach the level of official competition.
There are five minutes left before ten o'clock, and the athletes who are about to participate in the trials are already ready to compete. It is said to be a trial, but it is actually set up for Zhang Guan alone. In addition, the 1500-meter short track speed skating can have six skaters on the field at the same time, so only one competition is arranged for this level of competition.
In fact, according to coach Li Bing's idea, it is impossible for Zhang Guan to appear in the 1500-meter event. He originally planned to send a few people to deal with it, but now that Zhang Guan has chosen to participate in this event, coach Li Bing sent himself The strongest lineup in hand.
In addition to Zhang Guan, the other five people were originally going to represent the national team in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, so they can be said to be the strongest lineup of domestic men's short track speed skating.
Short track speed skating is one of the strongest winter sports in China. The level of women's short track speed skating is also one of the best in the world. Female athletes have set multiple short track speed skating world records. In terms of overall strength, only The Korean women's team can compete with the Chinese women's team. Others, such as the Canadian team and the American team, although there are one or two strong players in individual events, the overall level of the team is still slightly worse than that of China and South Korea.
The national men's short track speed skating team, although not as brilliant as the women's team, can still be regarded as a world-class team. In men's short track speed skating, the Korean team is the undisputed leader in the world. Team Canada and the United States both have the ability to challenge the Korean team. These three teams are the top teams in men's short track speed skating in the world, almost taking over the men's team. All gold medals in short track speed skating. In addition to these three teams, the Chinese team is considered the one with the strongest overall strength. Others such as the French team and the Italian team also have athletes who can excel in short track speed skating events.
Therefore, although the five opponents Zhang Guan faced today are not world champion-level athletes, they are still capable of winning medals in the world's top competitions. They can definitely be called the best short track speed skaters in the world. .
Regarding these team members, Zhang Guan also did his homework. Among the five players, except for one of them who is two years older than Zhang Guan, the others are one to two years younger than Zhang Guan, and the youngest one is just ten years old. At eight years old, he can be said to be the future star of the national team. And Zhang Guan also knows that this is the strongest lineup that the national team can currently field.
"Haha, you sent out the strongest lineup when you came up. This is really impressive for me!" Zhang Guan smiled slightly. From these five opponents, Zhang Guan already understood the intention of coach Li Bing.
"It doesn't matter if you show off your power to welcome me. Since you are so rude, I won't be polite either." Zhang Guan thought of this and made a gesture of starting to slide.
…
"It's about to begin!" Everyone's eyes were focused here.
Seeing Zhang Guan's confident look, Coach Li Bing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart. Although this fear passed by in a flash, Coach Li Bing couldn't help but start to panic.
"What's going on? What am I worried about? Why am I worried! I should believe in my team members. They are the strongest short track speed skaters in the country. How could they lose to Zhang Guan!" Coach Li Bing comforted silently in his heart road.
Not only coach Li Bing, but also many people at the scene were inexplicably shocked when they saw Zhang Guan making the starting stance. This is the aura of a person, the aura of the strongest athlete in the world. For example, soldiers who have been on the battlefield have a resolute temperament, while officials in high positions always exude a sense of style. Chefs who have been in the industry for a long time will smell greasy wherever they go. The same is true for athletes, especially Zhang Guan. This kind of top athlete in the world has been baptized in too many games and won too many victories. The titles of world champions are piled on him like a mountain. As long as he stands on the field, as long as he stands on the field, he will win. When he enters the state of competition, he will invisibly exude an aura, an aura of winning!
"Everyone is on your guard...get ready!" The starter raised his starting gun.
Short track speed skating uses an electronic starting gun, which looks more like a water gun toy for children. The sound is also simulated, but it is more accurate than a mechanical starting gun. In terms of starting, the rules of short-track speed skating are similar to those of sprint competitions. After the referee has finished preparing, the athletes remain still and wait for the gunshot to start skating. It is also a foul to start the skate and they have to start skating again. The second time False ground will also result in ejection.
"Bang!" The gunshot sounded at the beginning of the game.
This was Zhang Guan's long-lost voice. Since the end of the Olympic Games, he had not participated in a track and field competition for more than a year, nor had he heard the sound of the starting gun.
Although he had been away from track and field for a year, Zhang Guan's reaction was still very fast. The moment the gunshot rang out, Zhang Guan had already started to move forward.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Guan was the first to start.
