Volume 3 The King of Athletics Chapter 47 45 Seconds (Part 1)
Zhang Guan's speed at this time is like the final sprint of an athlete running 200 meters.
"Is he running 400 meters? How can this sprint feel like running 200 meters! Why did he still have so much stamina to sprint at the end? How is this done? Director Ma's eyes widened in disbelief.
In the 400-meter sprint race, by the time of the final straight, the athletes' physical strength has been consumed a lot, and some athletes even rely on willpower to insist on running the whole course. Even among the world's top athletes, the last 100 meters are certainly the most time-consuming. The final 100 meters of the top athletes take 11 to 12 seconds, of course, this is still if the physical strength can support the end, and if the physical strength is exhausted when running to the 350 meters, the top athletes will run more than 12 seconds in the last 100 meters.
But Zhang Guan is obviously not like this, he still has a lot of energy, so he can have more speed, and he can save one or two seconds of time than other athletes on the last straight course, maybe even more, which is enough to make up for the time he lost by sprinting late.
That is to say, Zhang Guan's running style, in the first two corners and one straight, does not change the rhythm at all, just relies on the "incomplete sprint activation" to save physical strength, and then when sprinting on the final straight track, with a higher speed, all the time lost before is recovered in one fell swoop.
This kind of running style cannot be replicated by others, because other athletes do not have the plug-in of system skills, and they cannot retain such abundant physical strength in the final straight.
Director Ma silently watched Zhang Guan cross the finish line, and it took several seconds for him to react, and at the same time, he also realized that Zhang Guan had innovated a new way of running.
The reason why I say it's a new way of running is because the speed of the final sprint is just too fast. In the retro style of running, which does not change the rhythm in front, it is impossible for an athlete to run so fast in the final sprint.
"How can there be such a strange way of running in the world! He didn't run fast in front, so it can be said that he lost time, but the sprint at the back made up for all the lost time in front, and he rushed so fast behind that it was like running 100 meters. Where did he get so much physical strength? So what is the effect of running like this? Director Ma set his sights on the electronic timer.
"45 seconds!" Director Ma exclaimed.
The current domestic 400-meter dash record is 45.25 seconds, and Zhang Guan suddenly improved this record by 0.25 seconds.
"It seems that this style of running is a success! If Zhang Guan can increase the pace and swing his arms a little more, the technique of entering the straight into the corner is better, and it will definitely be faster! So how much more will the grades improve? 0.5 seconds? Or 1 second? ”
Director Ma began to calculate in his heart that if it was improved by another 0.5 seconds, it would be a result that broke the Asian record, and if it was improved by another 1 second, it would be within 44 seconds. Director Ma didn't dare to think about it anymore, because there are only five people in the world who have run under 44 seconds, and all five of them have retired.
The world record for the 400-meter dash belongs to American legend Michael Johnson's 43.18 seconds, and it may be difficult to surpass it. At present, in the international high-level competition, as long as you don't encounter Jeremy Variner's pervert, running about 44.5 seconds is enough to hit the championship.
"100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters! The span of these projects seems to be a bit large! But if it can really be realized, plus the 110m hurdles, next year's Doha Asian Games. We will rule the men's sprint event! Director Ma closed his eyes,
……
Japan.
"Ladies and gentlemen. The East Asian Games are about to begin! Although the East Asian Games are not very important competitions, they can also be seen as a training session for next year's Asian Games. The coach of the Japanese team, Keikazu Kobayashi, looked at everyone present and said, "We have a lot of strong track and field athletes in Japan, but due to the limited number of participants, it is impossible for us to send all the athletes to participate, so we call everyone here this time." The main purpose is to discuss the issue of the participants in this East Asian Games. ”
"So let's start with the men's 100m. Do you have any comments? Keiwa Kobayashi asked.
The coach who spoke first was called Satoru Inoue, who was also a famous 100-meter sprinter, and was once Japan's first 100-meter runner in the early 90s of the last century.
I saw Inoue Satoru speak: "In the 100-meter sprint, the Chinese team will definitely send Zhang Guan to the race, Zhang Guan's strength is too strong." Even if we send the best athletes, we won't be able to win gold in this event, so I think we can send some young players to this event, and to be able to compete with the world record holders is also a great opportunity for young players to learn from the experience. In the 200m and 400m, we can field strong opponents against weaker opponents. There is an idiom in China about horse racing, which means just that. ”
"The Chinese idiom spoken by Coach Inoue is Tian Ji horse racing!" Takano immediately added: "Since we can't win the 100-meter sprint, we might as well take this opportunity to train the young athletes of our Japanese team." We can also focus on the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash, and I believe that with the strength of our Japanese athletes, we will be able to win gold medals in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash! ”
Everyone agreed, and two young Japanese athletes were decided to compete in the 100m at the East Asian Games.
After that, Kobayashi Keiwa then asked, "So what do you recommend for the athletes in the 200-meter event?" ”
"Shinshi Takahira is the only person to participate in the 200m race. Gao Pingjun is only 21 years old this year, but he has already run very well, and his 20.59 seconds last year was the best time of the 200m sprint in Japan last year, and he will definitely win the gold medal if he is sent to compete as an East Asian athlete. Someone spoke immediately.
"Another place, I think you can send Yusuke Ohmae to go. Yusuke Ohmae is also only 23 years old this year, and although he is not as experienced as Ryo Matsuda, Ryo Matsuda has been studying at graduate school since last year. The decline in competitive form is very fast. Having Yusuke Ohmae participate in the East Asian Games is just an opportunity to practice. Someone else spoke.
Ryo Matsuda in this mouth is also a very strong player, who has run into the Olympic A standard and once represented the Japanese team in the Athens Olympics.
After some discussion, Kobayashi finally decided to compete in the 200m race between Shinji Takahira and Yusuke Ohmae.
"So what do you recommend for the 400-meter dash?" Yusuke Ohmae looked directly at Shin Takano.
When it comes to the 400-meter dash, Susumu Takano does have the most to say. In 1991, he ran the 400m in 44.78 seconds and was the Japanese national record holder in the 400m.
I saw Takano Jin speak: "Whether it is China, South Korea or North Korea, the 400-meter event is not strong, but our 400-meter sprint in Japan is the best in Asia, so in the 400-meter event, we will definitely win the championship!" I suggest sending Yuzo Kanamaru to the tournament and win the championship with a thunderous momentum! ”
Yuzo Kanemaru is currently the first Japanese 400m dasher, and he will dominate the 400m dash for the next decade.
"Other than that. We can also send Mitsuhiro Sato to form a double insurance with Yuzo Kanimaru, then the gold medal in the 400-meter dash will definitely belong to us! Takano said excitedly.
Mitsuhiro Sato's personal best is actually faster than Yuzo Kanamaru, who was Japan's No. 1 400m runner before Yuzo Kanemaru.
Japan's 400-meter dash level is indeed the best in Asia, and it may not be as good as the athletes in West Asia in terms of individual athletes, but it is the strongest in Asia in terms of overall level. Basically, in Asian competitions, Japan did not win a gold medal in the 400m event. But it's easy to get a medal, and look at the overall level of the 4x400m event. Japan are the favourites to win the title.
……
The idea of the East Asian Games was first proposed by the Japanese, and the first East Asian athletes were held in China in 1993, and it was originally intended to be held every two years, but in 1995 the host was held in Pyongyang, North Korea, and due to some reasons, the event was cancelled and changed to be held every four years.
In the beginning, the competition of the East Asian Games was still very gunpowdery. For example, the Koreans want to defeat the Japanese, the North Koreans also want to defeat the Japanese, and the Koreans and Koreans are also competing with each other, so the level of competition is still quite high, but then it slowly becomes a little unsuccessful.
In the early 90s of the last century, the level of sports of East Asian athletes was generally average. Many competitions are not eligible to participate, so I held a sports meeting by myself, to put it bluntly, the level is too good for others to take us to play.
Later, with the development of sports, the level of East Asian athletes is getting higher and higher, and they are gradually able to participate in some international competitions, especially the development of sports commercialization, which makes more and more competitions in various domestic events, and East Asian athletes will not be able to attract those high-level athletes to participate, and there will be no spectators to watch without high-level athletes. So in the future, this event will simply be changed to the East Asian Youth Games.
For example, in the men's 10,000-meter run, only one Japanese athlete and one South Korean athlete participated, and the organizing committee had to temporarily find a long-distance runner in Macao, and there were three people, and then the Macao athlete who came to make up the number was lucky to get a bronze medal. For example, in the men's pole vault event, only three athletes participated, and the gold medalist only succeeded in the first jump, and failed to jump three times in the next height, while the other two competitors failed in all three attempts, did not get results, and could not win medals according to the regulations, as a result, there was only one gold medalist and no silver and bronze medalists in this event.
Hosting a match in Macau can be regarded as a home game for the national team. The enthusiasm of the local people in Macao is also high, and they hope to witness the outstanding athletes in the country. Therefore, the national team will try to send some well-known athletes in various events. In the track and field event, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren must participate. Zhang Guan will also make his 200m and 400m debuts. (To be continued.) )
