All-round Athlete

Chapter 177 The Long Jump Final

Zhang Guan's 1,500-meter race results caused a sensation in the track and field circles far greater than that of the 800-meter race.

As the world champion of 400 meters, it is normal for Zhang Guan to be able to run 800 meters. After all, these two events have a lot in common. But Zhang Guan can still run 1500 meters, which surprised everyone. The span of 100 meters to 1500 meters is really too big.

More importantly, Zhang Guan's 1,500-meter performance is still very good, at least among domestic athletes. Moreover, there are two national champions in the same group. Although the high-level athletes in the preliminary competition may not have tried their best, Zhang Guan's victory over the two national champions is enough to show that he is very strong in the 1500-meter run .

The speed displayed by Zhang Guan in the final sprint stage of the 1500-meter race also surprised professional sports people. Zhang Guan once again violated the known physiological limit.

The 400-meter sprint distance is relatively short, and the athletes will definitely be able to retain some physical strength in the final sprint; while in the 800-meter race, as long as the rhythm is well controlled, the athletes will still have a little physical reserve in the final sprint. But 1,500 meters is different. This is the distance of the limit of human physical strength reserves. It is almost impossible for athletes to retain their physical strength reserves in the final sprint of 1,500 meters. Therefore, during the 1,500-meter sprint, athletes are actually exhausted. The acceleration is all challenging your own physiological limits.

If the distance is longer, at 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, the situation changes again. Long-term uniform running allows the body to gradually adapt to the process of lactic acid providing energy, and the final sprint of the athlete will appear very powerful.

If someone suddenly tells everyone that a certain athlete can run 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and 1500 meters, everyone will definitely say that it is impossible, but if this person is Zhang Guan, even a professional sportsman People, in addition to showing surprise, I am afraid they will believe it.

In the past two years, Zhang Guan has created too many miracles. For Chinese people, it is possible for Zhang Guan to achieve any achievements in track and field events. Especially for some ordinary people, they don't know about track and field, so their thinking is very simple. As the fastest runner in the world, it is a matter of course to run first. As for the distance, then Just ignore it!

...

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Guan met Liu Feiren.

"I heard that you also qualified first in the group at 1500 meters?" Liu Feiren continued with envy: "You are such a monster! I can understand the 800 meters, but you crossed from 100 meters to 1500 meters. It’s unprecedented! Do you want to try another 5,000-meter or 10,000-meter race in the future?”

Zhang Guan shook his head fiercely: "Don't tease me, I've only reached 1,500 meters, I can't hold on to long-distance running, I circled the track dozens of times at once, my physical strength can't keep up!"

"Nonsense, everyone knows that your physical strength is abnormal. Needless to say, 400 meters and 800 meters, today's final sprint of 1,500 meters, you can still save so much physical strength and rush so fast, you still have the nerve to say that you are not physically strong? If you If I can't keep up physically, I won't even be able to jump over the first hurdle!" Liu Feiren said with his lips curled up.

"Are you only watching the thief eating meat and not watching the thief being beaten! I have enough physical strength, but my physical strength consumption is also greater than others! The distance of 1500 meters is not bad. If it is longer, my physical strength consumption will be really high." I can't keep up with other athletes." Zhang Guan said.

"That's true. I really forgot about physical exertion. Comparing physical exertion with long-distance runners is really not worth it." Liu Feiren nodded in agreement.

Sprinters are stronger and heavier, while middle-distance runners are slightly thinner. Although it looks very thin, in terms of weight, middle-distance runners may not be too light, because the muscle density of middle-distance runners is very large. The vast majority of long-distance runners are really thin and light.

Running the same distance, light weight people naturally consume less physical energy, while heavy weight people consume more physical energy. Due to his height, Zhang Guan's weight is actually slightly heavier than that of ordinary sprinters, and he consumes slightly more energy than other sports.

This slightly more physical energy consumption can be ignored in sprinting. Sprinting pays more attention to speed. As long as the speed can be increased, athletes are willing to consume a little more physical energy.

When it comes to middle-distance running, this slightly more physical energy consumption still has an impact on Zhang Guan, but the impact is not obvious. Even if he runs 1500 meters, the whole race takes less than four minutes, which is more exhausted than other athletes. With a little physical strength, Zhang Guan can still bear it.

But when it comes to long-distance running, the situation is completely different. The long-distance runners are very thin and weigh much less than Zhang Guan, and the physical exertion of running the same distance is much smaller than that of Zhang Guan. The difference in physical energy consumption in short distances is indifferent, but as the distance running in the race is longer, the gap between physical energy consumption will increase exponentially. On the one hand, it will suffer even more.

Liu Feiren's voice changed, and he continued, "Did Director Yu mention the Athletics World Cup to you?"

"Athletics World Cup?" Zhang Guan thought for a few seconds before asking, "Is it the one in September?"

"Yes, it's the one in September. It seems that Director Yu hasn't mentioned it to you. Today, Coach Sun told me that he will participate in the 110-meter hurdles. I guess you will also have to participate. The Track and Field World Cup includes 100 meters and 400 meters. Besides, there is a 200-meter event, and it looks like you are going to participate in three sprint events. To win the gold medals in three sprint events, I'm excited to think about it!" Liu Feiren's eyes revealed a look of excitement.

"In addition to 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, what do you think of me participating in a long jump event? Can you give me a place?" Zhang Guan asked.

Liu Feiren thought about it seriously, and said: "I think there must be a quota. The long jump is different from the sprint. The number of participants in the sprint is limited. Adding one more quota for the long jump has little effect."

In the sprint competition, the athletes have to be divided into lanes. Eight tracks mean eight people will participate. Occasionally, one more person will be nine people. If there are more tracks, there will be no space. Therefore, the number of participants must be fixed, and there cannot be too many. But in the rules of the long jump event, each athlete tries to jump three times, and the eight with the best results jump three more times. According to the rhythm of the long jump competition, one more athlete participating in the competition is at most three or four minutes longer. Doesn't have much effect on the game as a whole.

"It seems that I need to mention this matter to Director Ma, and get me a place in the long jump competition of the Track and Field World Cup. But it is not appropriate to talk about it now. Let's wait until tomorrow. After the long jump final tomorrow, if I can jump a better one The results, when the time comes to go to Director Ma to ask for a quota, the chance of success will be much higher." Zhang Guan thought silently.

...

On the third day of the National Track and Field Championships, Zhang Guan will participate in the final of the long jump and the final of the 800-meter middle distance run.

In the long jump final that started first, a total of 12 players participated, many of whom were strong players, such as Li Dalong, the long jump champion of the 9th National Games, Zhou Can, the runner-up in the long jump of the Asian Athletics Championships, and Li Run, the defending champion of the long jump event of the National Athletics Championships. These three people have all jumped out of 8.22 meters, and have already broken the Olympic A mark of 8.20 meters.

The 12 contestants draw lots to determine the order of the jumps. Each jumper will try three times. After the three jumps, the top eight with the best results will be ranked in reverse order of results, and then three jumps will be performed.

In the long jump event, it is more advantageous to play at the back. Zhang Guan has a good character today and got the tenth appearance. However, the two players who played after Zhang Guan were weak, and those athletes who were capable of winning the championship all appeared before Zhang Guan.

In the long jump final, it is often the last three jumps that determine the outcome. For strong athletes, they will use the opportunity of the first three jumps to adjust their game status and sprint for good results in the next three jumps; Most athletes will choose some more unrestrained jumping methods in the first three jumps, and strive to jump out a good result and enter the top eight.

The first player to play was a player named Zhang Xin, who was the champion of the 10th National Games. In Zhang Xin's first trial jump, he jumped out of 7.81 meters. This is a very good result. It must be no problem to enter the top eight. It is a good start.

The second player to play was Gu Junjie. He had competed with Zhang Guan in the qualifying round. Perhaps because of the tension in the finals that affected his normal performance, Gu Junjie stepped on the marking line of the springboard for the second time, so he was sentenced to failure .

After that, the strength of several players is relatively average, and the results are generally between 7.4 meters and 7.7 meters.

Li Dalong, the champion of the Ninth National Games who came in sixth, did not perform well in the first jump. He made a little mistake when he took off, and finally only jumped 7.42 meters. This result is an achievement for him. Terrible grades.

Next came Li Run. Li Run won the long jump championship at last year's National Athletics Championships, so he played as the defending champion.

Li Run also participated in the World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Moscow in March. Being able to represent the national team in world-class competitions is enough to show that Li Run is very capable. He was also regarded as the long jump champion before the competition One of the biggest hits.

Although it was the first jump, Li Run did not hang on to the conservative jumping method. He was bold and successful in this jump. The final score was 7.94 meters, which was very close to 8 meters.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became dignified. The score of 7.94 meters can already ensure Li Run's entry into the top eight. In addition, Zhang Xin, who was the first to appear before, jumped 7.81 meters. This is only the first round, and there are two players who can enter the top eight. For other players, the number of promotion places has been reduced by two indivual.

The next one to play is Zhou Can, who is also a very strong long jump player. He once won the runner-up at the Asian Athletics Championships in the Philippines in 2003, and the third runner-up at the Asian Athletics Championships held in South Korea in 2005. In domestic events, he also won many championships such as Grand Prix and Indoor Races. So Zhou Can is another favorite to win the long jump.

Zhou Can is 27 years old this year, and he is already considered a veteran, so he has very rich competition experience and mature skills. He chose a relatively normal jump for his first jump. It is quite satisfactory, but if you want to enter the top eight with this result, you need to depend on luck.

The ninth player was sentenced to a foul for stepping on the line, and Zhang Guan appeared next.

Zhang Guan is still a rookie in the long jump event. His record in the official competition is only one number, that is, the result of 8.05 meters in the qualifying competition the day before yesterday. However, Zhang Guan only performed the first jump in the qualifying competition. , gave up the next two jumps, so everyone has little understanding of Zhang Guan's long jump ability.

8.05 meters For Zhang Guan, whether it is a normal level, a super level performance, or whether he has not tried his best, no one knows, so the next competition will be an excellent way for everyone to judge Zhang Guan's long jump strength Chance.

Zhang Guan stood in the run-up area, and after getting ready, he started the run-up. The lightning-like speed was displayed, and instantly attracted the envious eyes of all the players and coaches.

The performance of the long jump has a great relationship with the speed of the run-up. Every long jumper must be a good sprinter, and every long jumper hopes that he can have a faster run-up speed. And who in the world is faster than the world record holder?

I saw Zhang Guan quickly approached the sand pool, and then made a jumping motion. His toes just pressed on the take-off board, and he was still far away from the marking line, so this was a successful take-off, but at the same time it can also be said that It is a relatively conservative take-off.

Zhang Guan obviously didn't want to make a foul, so he used this kind of conservative jump. He has only practiced long jump for a short time, and he is also very confident in his own strength. There is no need to use too aggressive jumping method for the first jump.

Next, Zhang Guan vacated, making a vacant movement, which is still the most basic squatting posture, but judging from the height of Zhang Guan vacated, as long as there is no mistake in landing, the result of this jump must be good.

Then, Zhang Guan landed smoothly, he leaned forward and stood up, and then walked out of the sand pool.

In the flat sand pool, an irregularly shaped pit appeared, and the edge of the pit had already crossed the eight-meter line! The first jump crossed the eight-meter line!

The eyes of the other contestants looked at the referee at the springboard almost at the same time...
