Chapter 166 The King of Track and Field Fights Varina Again

There are countless people in the world who have studied Variner's running method. In addition to professional sports coaches who hope to learn from them, other college students and graduate students majoring in sports, etc. will also use Variner's running method as their graduation thesis, and those who need to be promoted in the domestic sports system People, why do so many people choose to write a paper related to the Variner running method.

Of course, there are more people to study Zhang Guan's 100-meter sprint, but Zhang Guan is unreasonably fast in the 100-meter sprint event, and there is nothing too commendable in technology, and the research value is far inferior to that of Watts. Rina.

Director Yu, as the coach of the national team, of course has read many papers on Variner's running method, and many people even come to the door with these papers, hoping to get comments from Director Yu. So at least in theory, Yu guides Dovarina's running method very well. He knows that in the second 100-meter stage, Varina can improve his performance by 0.5 seconds simply by adjusting the span of his steps.

Today, Zhang Guan has also achieved this, which means that Zhang Guan's total score can also be improved by 0.5 seconds.

"0.5 seconds! In the previous Golden League, Zhang Guan had already run into the 44-second mark. If he was 0.5 seconds faster, wouldn't he be able to run to 43.50 seconds!" At this moment, Director Yu recalled involuntarily. Those who ran under 43.50 seconds in history.

"It seems that there are only two people in the world who can run into 43.50 seconds, the world record holder Michael Johnson and the former world record holder Reynolds. If I remember correctly, in the 400-meter event, there is only one in human history. Run within 43.50 five times, including Johnson 4 times and Reynolds 1 time. Zhang Guan may become the third person in history to run within 43.50!"

Director Yu thought about it, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Last year, Director Yu was still thankful that Zhang Guan ran the 400 meters in less than 46 seconds; in the East Asian athlete in the winter, Zhang Guan ran in less than 45 seconds, breaking the Asian record of 400 meters, and let Director Yu Excited for several days, at that time he couldn't help but start to look forward to when Zhang Guan would be able to run within 44 seconds.

However, half a year later, in the Golden League, Zhang Guan defeated Varina and ran within 44 seconds. This speed of improvement has satisfied Director Yu very much. It is close to the limit. If you want to improve, you may have to wait two or three years when Zhang Guan's body reaches its peak before you can make a faster speed.

But today, Director Yu realized that his judgment on Zhang Guan had once again made a mistake. Less than a month had passed since the last Golden League, Zhang Guan somehow mastered a new technology, a Enough technology to allow him to run within 43.50 seconds.

"Zhang Guan is 20 years old this year. Two years later, he will be 22 years old. He has entered the golden age of a track and field athlete. He must be stronger than now. In the next Olympic Games, he will be the most powerful member of our Olympic team. Weapon! At that time, you will definitely shock the whole world!"

...

The Paris leg of the IAAF Golden League will be held on July 7. There is a conflict with this year's Wimbledon in terms of time. However, Sharapova lost to Mauresmo in the game, stopped the semi-finals, and ended her Wimbledon schedule this time, so she just had time to come to Paris to watch Zhang Guan's game.

The difference from the previous Golden League is that there is a 110-meter hurdles event in Paris. The Golden League allows the sponsor to set up special events. France has a famous player in the 110-meter hurdles, Ducoure, so the Paris station is set up. 110 meter hurdles.

However, the biggest highlight of the Paris station of the Golden League is that another world-record-level track and field star has come back, and she is the American female trapeze Marion Jones. She will compete in the women's 100-meter dash.

Mary Jones is the most dazzling star in the women's sprint event. She has broken the world record in both the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. Her best time in the 400-meter dash is 49.59 seconds, which is also the world's top level. The best long jump score of 7.31 meters is enough to win the championship if it is placed in the Athens Olympics. At the same time, she can also play basketball, football, and baseball, and even joined the WNBA as a player.

In 2003, Jones and Montgomery, the two world record holders, had a child, and then Jones was also involved in a doping scandal and did not return to play until recently.

There are also significantly more contestants in Paris than in Oslo. For example, in the men's 100-meter sprint, the weaker players must first compete in Group B to eliminate some athletes, and then enter the main race of the 100-meter sprint.

Zhang Guan, as the world record holder, naturally does not need to participate in the 100-meter group B race. But this time the schedule is still very unfavorable to Zhang Guan. The men's 400-meter sprint competition was held at 17:40 in the afternoon of Paris time, and the 100-meter final was held at 18:35, less than an hour apart. Excluding the competition time and entry and exit time, Zhang Guan was given a rest The time is only forty minutes.

The 400-meter sprint event requires athletes to consume all their physical strength before the finish line. If there is still a lot of physical strength after running 400 meters, it proves that there is a problem with the distribution of physical strength in the athlete's competition. In world-class competitions, it is occasionally seen that athletes are exhausted after running 400 meters and are carried out of the stadium.

If you run 100 meters first and then 400 meters, it’s okay. After all, running 100 meters is not as exhausting as running 400 meters. An hour of rest can restore a lot of physical strength; but running 400 meters first and then 100 meters, before It is impossible to recover the physical strength consumed in 400 meters in just one hour.

Therefore, in the eyes of those professionals, under this schedule arrangement, Zhang Guan will definitely give up one of the events to guarantee the other event. If he gives up the 400 meters, then he will definitely adopt a more conservative running method in the 400 meters race. Reduce the consumption of physical strength; and if you give up the 100 meters, Zhang Guan will definitely try his best in the 400-meter race, and then he will have no physical strength in the 100-meter event.

In fact, this is the first time for everyone to encounter this kind of situation. No athlete has ever participated in two competitions in one Golden League at the same time. Runners only run once, so the rules have never considered rest for athletes. question.

...

"Coach, I will definitely do my best this time. I won't be careless like last time, and I won't give Zhang Guan another chance!" Varina said firmly.

Coach Hart looked confident at this time, and he nodded to Varina confidently: "Jeremy, I believe in you, you are the strongest 400-meter player in the world, I have never No doubts, I know you don't make the same mistake twice. And the reality is very much in our favor."

Coach Hart took the race schedule and said, "Fifty-five minutes after the 400-meter race, there will be a 100-meter sprint race. Zhang Guan's actual rest time is probably only 40 minutes, so he will definitely give up one of them." event, to ensure the championship of another event. According to the current situation, it is more likely that he will give up the 400-meter sprint. After all, he really has an advantage in the 100-meter sprint. It's almost certain now that he's going to win all six."

"But coach, Zhang Guan should be very good at physical recovery." Varina said.

"Yeah, that's the only thing I'm worried about. Although theoretically, it's not very possible to regain physical strength in 40 minutes, but Zhang Guan is an athlete who is very good at creating miracles. Many so-called theories are not valid on him. "Coach Hart turned his head to look at Varina, and said seriously: "So in the upcoming game, you still have to go all out! Don't give Zhang Guan a chance."

...

The Golden League on this site starts with the 100-meter Group B competition, followed by the men's and women's 400-meter hurdles, followed by the men's 800 meters, women's 1500 meters and 5000 meters, and then the 400-meter competition.

In the first women's 400-meter sprint, American player Richards won the championship, continuing her unbeaten run, and ten minutes later, the men's 400-meter sprint will begin.

In addition to Wariner, the US team also came to a black athlete named Locke. This athlete had performed well in the US domestic games, but rarely appeared in the world arena.

The Bahamian star Brown and Canada's Taylor also participated in the competition. Since it was held in France, French local player Leslie DeJong also participated in the competition.

But everyone also knows that the main highlight of the 400-meter sprint is the duel between Zhang Guan and Wariner. Will be the champion without a doubt.

The organizer also knew this, and deliberately arranged Zhang Guan and Wariner in adjacent lanes, Zhang Guan was in the third lane, and Wariner was in the fourth lane, and the two races were in the 400-meter sprint The items are relatively golden pass.

...

"The game begins!" When the commentator's voice fell, the athletes on the field had already run several steps, and there were deafening cheers at the scene, half of which was for the local player Leslie DeJong, while the other half It was for Zhang Guan and Varina.

Perhaps because of the local competition, Dejong seemed very excited, and his acceleration seemed to be very fast, while the other athletes were quite satisfactory, and there was no change in their running style.

Varina secretly glanced at Zhang Guan behind him, and he felt that Zhang Guan's speed was similar to the previous game.

"The speed is still so fast. Aren't you going to give up the 400 meters? Do you think you can beat me if you can run in 44 seconds? Don't underestimate me. If you consume too much energy now, the 100 meters champion will also be able to win." If you lose the 400m and 100m championships at the same time, you will probably be very disappointed!"

Variner was thinking while making adjustments, preparing to enter the straight runway.

Beside Coach Hart, another American sprint coach said: "It seems that Zhang Guan did not give up the 400 meters! In this case, the physical exertion is too great, and Powell may have a chance to win the championship in the 100 meters sprint. .”

Coach Hart shook his head: "It's just starting now, so it's hard to tell. After entering 300 meters, we can confirm whether Zhang Guan has given up 400 meters... Huh? His pace? It's so much bigger? He has to learn wah Rina's technology!"

On the track, Zhang Guan has already run a distance of more than 20 meters on the straight track.
