"It seems that foreigners also talk about human feelings!" Zhang Guan thought as he opened the list of contestants in his hand.

Although Zhang Guan didn't know how many of these things Varikov was preparing to sell favors, he could confirm that if he didn't know Varikov, he would definitely not take the initiative to send this list of participants.

"Sure enough, it was about the same as I expected before the race, there were no strong players in the indoor 60m event." Zhang Guan looked at the list of athletes participating in the indoor 60 meters, not to mention that athletes of Powell's and Obikweru levels did not participate, and even athletes who were slightly weaker than the world's top such as Kim Collins and Jason Gardner did not participate.

Jason Gardner is the defending champion in this event, but he is British and is now competing in the Commonwealth Games. Powell also seems to be at the Commonwealth Games. ”

In the list of athletes participating in the 60 meters, Zhang Guan is more impressed by only two people, and both of them are Americans, one is Leonard Scott and the other is Trammell.

Leonard Scott used to be a football player before he was eliminated from the internal selection of Team USA before switching to track and field. Zhang Guan played against him last year, at the World Athletics Championships and the Athletics Golden Grand Prix held in China.

As for Trarens Trammell, the reason why Zhang Guan has an impression of him is because he has fought against Liu Feiren many times. Trammell, a 110-meter hurdles athlete, is hailed by Americans as the successor to Alan Johnson and a competitor that Liu Feiren focuses on. Trammell registered two events for the Indoor Athletics Championships, the 60m and 60m hurdles.

"The 60-meter dash is not stressful! Let's take a look at the 400m event! Zhang Guan flipped through the list of entries for the 400 meters.

The final of the 400-meter dash was held on the last day, and Zhang Guan did not know many athletes engaged in the 400-meter dash, but the strongest country in the world in the 400-meter dash was undoubtedly the United States team, so Zhang Guan took the lead in paying attention to the participants of the American team.

The three strongest 400m runners on the U.S. team, Jeremy Varina, Otis Harris and Derek Blue did not compete. The three people on the list are Milton Campbell, Terry Washington and LaSean Merritt.

Rashawn Merritt is an athlete who has some impressions that he is known as the second strongest athlete in the United States after Jeremy Varina, but he is still young and has not yet run a result.

"I don't know the other two people on the U.S. team, Campbell and Washington! I'll have to ask for guidance later. Zhang Guan continued to check the list of entries for the 400-meter dash.

The defending champion in this event, Francico, is an athlete from the small Caribbean nation of Grenada and is also considered the favourite to win the 400m. As for the other athletes, Zhang Guan is completely ignorant.

……

March 10th. The World Athletics Indoor Championships are just the beginning.

For Zhang Guan, the first day of competition was a great test of physical strength. He will compete in the group stage of the 60-meter dash at 12:40 p.m., the semi-finals of the 60-meter dash four hours later, the group stage of the 400-meter dash in another hour and a half, and he will have a final of the 60-meter dash two hours later. That's equivalent to four races a day.

Fortunately, the consumption of 60 meters is much smaller than that of 100 meters, Zhang Guan feels that he will definitely be able to cope with the first three races, and the last 60-meter final, if it is really not possible, use a physical recovery potion.

Isinbayeva's match will not take place until tomorrow, and Zhang Guan will be the biggest name of the day. Perhaps because of Sharapova, Zhang Guan's popularity in Moscow is even higher than that of Russian athletes, and the 60-meter group stage and semi-finals are full of joy every time Zhang Guan takes the stage. And Zhang Guan also successfully entered the 60-meter final with two firsts.

After all, there are no top athletes in the world to participate, such as Trammell, who runs the 110-meter hurdles, can be the favorite to win the championship, and Zhang Guan, a professional 100-meter runner, can not miss the front hoof.

Next up is the group stage of the 400-meter dash.

Zhang Guan's current record in the 400m official race is only one competition for an East Asian athlete. People from Europe and the United States have always paid little attention to the track and field competitions held in Asia, and they don't know much about Zhang Guan's running style. However, considering Zhang Guan's fame. When the organizers were grouped for the 400-meter sprint group stage, they still gave Zhang Guan the treatment of star athletes, and there were no strong athletes in his group.

It is also a good opportunity for other athletes participating in the 400m to observe Zhang Guan, who is not known for his running style and technical characteristics in the 400m dash, so I hope to observe it through this race.

With a gunshot, Zhang Guan quickly entered the state of the game.

Zhang Guan's speed is still the same, and he looks faster than other athletes, but he doesn't have any advantage.

Next, entering the straight track, Zhang Guan still followed the previous running method, and when the other athletes did not accelerate significantly, Zhang Guan did not take the lead, and certainly did not lag behind.

The time when the athletes entered the second corner was about the same, obviously the difference in the strength of the athletes in the group stage was not large, and the running style also used the mainstream running method of Europe and the United States, I am afraid that you need to wait until the sprint to see the gap.

Soon after entering the corner, some athletes began to accelerate, only Zhang Guan, still following the original rhythm. Everyone else began to speed up, and Zhang Guan still ran at the original pace, which seemed much slower in comparison, and he was also in a backward position.

The audience didn't seem to understand so much, many people let out some sighs, and those professional coaches and athletes all frowned, Zhang Guan's performance was really strange.

"What is Zhang Guan going to do? Why are you still running at the same pace? Why didn't he do the sprint? ”

"What kind of running is this? Could it be that this is some new tactic? ”

The coach of the U.S. team secretly glanced at Yu Gui and the others not far away, and found that Yu Gui looked calm, obviously not worried because Zhang Guan was lagging behind. The coach of the U.S. team is more and more sure that Zhang Guan's running style is definitely not that simple.

Next, the athlete entered the final straight, and Zhang Guan was also the last athlete to enter the straight, and then Zhang Guan began to sprint towards the finish line.

"Sprint now? Maybe it's too late! Not necessarily, if there is a sprint level like Varina. You might be able to catch it before the finish line. I just don't know if his sprint level can match Varina. "The coach of the American team made his own judgment.

"Wow?" The audience at the scene let out exclamations, and Zhang Guan's speed suddenly rose to a very high level, surpassing the two athletes who were lagging behind in the blink of an eye.

"How is this acceleration so fast? Is this a sprint for the 400-meter dash? It's almost up to 200 meters! How could he still have so much stamina? Didn't he do his best in the first place? ”

At this moment, all the coaches and athletes in the field were moved, and Zhang Guan on the track surpassed one athlete after another, took the lead at 360 meters, and then quickly left the second place behind, until there were still 20 meters from the finish line, Zhang Guan retracted his strength and crossed the finish line by inertia.

46.05 seconds. This result was enough to qualify first in the group in the indoor competition, but it was enough to shock others.

"Is this that kind of retro running?" LaSean-Merritt immediately remembered the way he ran decades ago, running at a constant pace in front and sprinting at the back, but in his memory, none of the athletes who used it were so fast in the final sprint.

"No, in the end he was so fast, it didn't look like he was running 400 meters, which shows that he has a lot of energy in front of him. If you have so much reserve stamina, why do you still have to adopt this retro running style? If he had used some mainstream running style, he would have taken the lead at the second corner, so why would he have to save his stamina for the final straight sprint? Deliberately playing with heartbeats. Merritt scratched her head. I can't figure this out.

……

Running 400 meters is still a lot of physical exertion for athletes, and most of the track and field competitions are in order to allow athletes to recover their physical strength better. The 400-meter dash is a one-day race.

Zhang Guan had already run two 60-meter sprints in front of him, and now he had run another 400-meter run, and his physical strength was already below the normal line. Two hours later, he will compete in the final of the 60-meter dash.

Leonard Scott was so excited on the U.S. team that he felt he could beat Zhang Guan in the 60-meter dash.

"If Zhang Guan hadn't participated in the 400-meter sprint, I wouldn't have been his opponent, but he just died by himself, what 400-meter run, he must not have much physical strength now! When it comes to the competition, I will definitely defeat Zhang Guan! Scott couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he actually began to laugh.

Scott has played against Zhang Guan before, and at last year's World Athletics Championships, in the 100-meter sprint, Scott was just a miscellaneous fish, no one cared about him, and everyone's focus was on the contest between Zhang Guan and Gatlin. And in that race, Scott only ran out of seventh place, and this result was naturally ignored by everyone.

Then at the Athletics Golden Grand Prix held in China, Scott met Zhang Guan again and wanted to deliberately collide with Zhang Guan. However, that time was once again reduced to a backdrop wall, Zhang Guan broke the world record in the men's 100m in that race and became the focus of the entire event, and Scott, no one remembers him to participate in that race.

Today, facing a Zhang Guan with little physical strength left, Scott felt that his opportunity had come.

"Zhang Guan! I remember you as the holder of the 60-meter dash world record! I remember never losing a tournament you played! The world's first flyer? So today, let me Leonard Scott, kick you off the altar! (To be continued.) )
