Almighty Athlete

Chapter 9: New record

Views:

The next morning, the finals of the track and long-distance events were held first, and the men's 100-meter final was scheduled to be held in the afternoon.

Apart from Zhang Guan, there are no other dark horses in this competition, and there are also some old faces in the finals. At this stage, those still on the field are the top athletes in the country in the men's 100-meter event, and it is also a competition between the highest levels in the country.

Zhang Guan, the suddenly rising dark horse, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Almost everyone present knew that this young man had strange speed, but he was extremely poor at the start. More well-informed people have already found out that Zhang Guan was an athlete discovered by Mr. Chen during the national second-level athlete test and had only had two months of formal training.

Everyone knows that Zhang Guan is a newcomer to track and field, but no one regards him as a weakling. Zhang Guan won the right to participate in the Olympic Games yesterday. Although the top domestic athletes will definitely reach the Olympic B standard much faster if they perform better, but competitive sports There are too many on-the-spot factors. If no one can reach the Olympic B standard in the next year, Zhang Guan will become the only competitor in the 100-meter event in the next Olympics.

The level of domestic track and field sprinting is not high enough to compete for international rankings, so participating in the Olympics is undoubtedly the biggest dream of domestic sprinters.

On the track, athletes are preparing. Shen Bao came closer to Chen Jian and said, "The newcomer can open his crown very quickly. I think if he can react faster at the start, he will definitely be faster than you."

Chen Jian smiled: "I heard from our team's Lao Yin (Yin Hanzhao), and I also watched your game yesterday. That kid is fast enough, and he will definitely surpass me in two years, but now Well, it still lacks some heat!"

Chen Jian is currently the number one player in the country, and this year is his best. It is common for him to run within 10 seconds in training, and his results in official competitions are also common. At around 10.3 seconds. Based on Chen Jian's current level and condition, his real competition time should be between 10.20 seconds and 10.25 seconds. Therefore, facing Zhang Guan, who ran 10.28 seconds in the semifinals, Chen Jian was still confident that he could win.

And yesterday, Zhang Guan reached the Olympic B standard, which deeply stimulated Chen Jian. Chen Jian's goal has always been to participate in next year's Athens Olympics, so Chen Jian has been working hard to adjust his condition in the past six months. He was preparing to achieve the Olympic standard, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Zhang Guan. So today, Chen Jian was holding back his energy and wanted to compete with Zhang Guan.

At the same time, Zhang Guande's mind was filled with completing the task of breaking the national record.

It's now the finals. If Zhang Guan cannot break the national record in this game, he still doesn't know when he will have to wait until the next official competition. For the task of "breaking the national record" in the system, Zhang Guan also decided to break the national record in this game. Give it a try.

"The key is to start. As long as we can start 0.12 seconds faster, we can break the national record." Zhang Guan is calculating now, while constantly reminding himself to concentrate.

The eight athletes in the final had their feet on the starting block and were ready to start. The starter also shouted the command to prepare to start and raised the starting gun.

"Bang!" At the same time as the crisp sound of the starting gun sounded, the athletes rushed out of the starting line one after another.

Zhang Guan's condition today is much better than yesterday. He can feel that his starting reaction time must be within 0.3 seconds. This can be considered as a relatively good starting reaction for him.

But it is a pity that his start is still the slowest. Presumably, Zhang Guan is obviously much behind other athletes' starting reaction time within 0.15 seconds. The gap of more than 0.1 seconds can be clearly distinguished even by the naked eye.

"The starting reaction is faster than yesterday! It is better than yesterday." Director Yu in the stands frowned.

Zhang Guan's reaction time at the start was very poor, which was expected by everyone. All the athletes and coaches present knew that what was really scary about Zhang Guan was his speed, the kind of speed he rushed from the last place to the third place. The wonderful performance of one of them will make all the spectators excited and excited.

As everyone expected, after Zhang Guan started, a good show of overtaking was staged again. The runners who were at the bottom had no power to fight back in front of Zhang Guan. The speed of the overtaking and being overtaken was completely different. On the road, they could only watch helplessly as they were surpassed by Zhang Guan, but there was nothing they could do.

In the front, Chen Jian and Shen Bao were in the leading position. They were almost going hand in hand. At least visually it was difficult to tell who was in front and who was behind.

However, at this time, Shen Bao already looked at Chen Jian with admiration. Shen Bao's first fifty meters were world-class. He believed that no one could be faster than him in the first half of the 100-meter event. Based on past experiences with Chen Jian, Shen Bao always leads in the first half of the race, only to be caught up by Chen Jian in the second half.

But this time, Chen Jian's speed in the first half of the race was comparable to Shen Bao's. And this also shows that in the second half of the race, Chen Jian will definitely surpass Shen Bao

"Well, Chen Jian, you've been hiding your strength all this time! I have to increase my training when I get back, or else I won't even be able to keep my second place!" Shen Bao thought.

Halfway through the race, the distance between Chen Jian and Shen Bao had obviously widened. It was at this time that Zhang Guan had already approached Shen Bao.

"Why did I forget that there is a rising star like Zhang Guan? It seems that I can't keep the second place." Shen Bao felt a little regretful, but then he found that Zhang Guan had caught up with him.

"I remember Zhang Guan didn't catch up with me so quickly yesterday. This kid is really different every day. He has unlimited potential! We, the generation, may have to slowly withdraw from this stage." Shen Bao watched Zhang Guan surpass him, but in his heart Suddenly there was an inexplicable sadness.

Zhang Guan's starting reaction time today is 0.1 seconds faster than yesterday. In the 100-meter event, 0.1 seconds is undoubtedly a huge gap, especially in the second half of the race, the 0.1 seconds will become more obvious. If At the starting stage, 0.1 seconds is not even enough time for athletes to react to starting, but at the finish line, the difference of 0.1 seconds can be clearly seen by the naked eye as a difference of several body positions.

At this moment, it was this 0.1 second that put tremendous pressure on Chen Jian.

Chen Jian had watched Zhang Guan's semi-finals and semi-finals yesterday and had a full understanding of Zhang Guan's characteristics of fast speed and slow start. Chen Jian also made a plan for the finals. In his original plan, Zhang Guan's speed should be close to his before the finish line, but now he has reached the finish line, and Chen Jian will cross the finish line with an advantage of more than 0.1 seconds.

Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the change. Zhang Guan started 0.1 seconds faster than yesterday, so he caught up with Chen Jian earlier.

"Catching up so quickly! There is a deviation from the plan!" Chen Jian was shocked when he realized that Zhang Guan was trying to keep pace with him. Then he saw that the finish line was close in front of him, and he knew that he had to fight with all his strength.

Chen Jian is the national champion. He is currently the number one player in the country. Although he only joined the national team last year, he has swept almost all competitions this year. At the age of 23, he has just entered the ranks of a sprinter. In his golden age, now is his strongest moment! It is precisely because of this that he does not want to lose. This is not only because of that Olympic ticket, but also a battle of glory for athletes!

I saw Chen Jian leaning forward fiercely, hoping that his head could cross the line first, but Zhang Guan made this move earlier than him.

Because Zhang Guan was already in the lead, he was closer to the finish line.

The referee at the finish line only felt the figure in front of him flicker, and saw both of them crossing the finish line.

"Who won?" The people watching on the sidelines of the competition looked at the scoreboard one after another. They competed at various positions around, ranging from far to near the finish line, and they were on the same level as the athletes. The observation was not very accurate in the first place. What's more, when it comes to telling moving objects, direct observation with the human eye will have a large error, and it is difficult to judge who is faster.

Only Director Yu clenched his fists vigorously and said excitedly: "Zhang Guan won!"

Director Yu was on the rostrum, which happened to be parallel to the 100-meter track and was also the best observation position in the entire field. Therefore, he could clearly see that Zhang Guanyao was slightly ahead.

"I haven't seen such a wonderful game for a long time!" Director Yu looked at the athletes at the finish line with joy.

Chen Jian has performed to the level he should have, and is worthy of the current title of No. 1 100-meter man in the country. Director Yu can see that Chen Jian is in very good physical condition. If he continues to maintain it, he will definitely create better results. .

What makes Director Yu even more delighted is that Zhang Guan, a 17-year-old rookie, can run faster than Chen Jian. At this moment, Director Yu can confirm that Zhang Guan will become the hope of the national team in track and field in the future.

Director Yu closed his eyes and carefully recalled the situation when he just crossed the line, and then made a judgment: "The difference between the two is probably 0.05 seconds!"

Finally, the electronic scoreboard showed the results of all athletes.

"Chen Jian ran 10 seconds 22!" someone immediately exclaimed.

This is Chen Jian's normal state. He has already run within 10.20 seconds. According to the course of history, the second half of 2003 was when Chen Jian was at his strongest and in the best condition. Soon after, he would set a personal best time of 10.17 seconds at the National Track and Field Championships, tying the national record set by Zhou Wei in 1998. record, and until 2010, no domestic player could run within 10.20 seconds.

Almost at the same time, another scream sounded:

"Look, 10 seconds 16! A new national record!"
