Kapitel 149: Four games a day
"It seems that foreigners are also humanistic!" Zhang Guan opened the roster of participants while thinking.
Although Zhang Guan did not know many such things such as why Varikov was prepared to sell human relations, what he can confirm is that if he does not know Varikov, he will not take the initiative to send this list of participants.
"Sure enough, as expected before the game, there is no strong hand in the indoor 60m event." Zhang Guan looked at the list of indoor 60m athletes, not to mention Powell, Obik Viru level of athletes did not come to participate. Even Kim Collins, Jason Gardner, and other players who are slightly weaker than the world's top did not participate.
"Jason Gardner is the defending champion of this project, but he is British and is currently participating in the Commonwealth Games. Powell seems to be in the Commonwealth Games too."
In the list of 60-meter athletes, Zhang Guan was only impressed by two people, and both were Americans, one was Leonard Scott, and the other was Terrence Trammell.
Leonard Scott used to be a football player but was eliminated in the internal selection of the United States team before he changed to track and field. Zhang Guan competed with him last year, respectively at the World Championships in Athletics and the Golden Championship of Athletics held in China.
As for Terrence Trammell, Zhang Guan was impressed by him because he had fought Liu Feiren many times. Trammel is a 110-meter hurdle who is hailed by the Americans as the successor of Alan Johnson and a competitor that Liu Feiren focuses on. Trammel signed up for two events in this indoor track and field event, namely the 60-meter and 60-meter hurdles.
"There is no pressure in the 60-meter sprint! Let's take a look at the 400-meter project!" Zhang Guan opened the 400-meter entry list.
The final of the 400-meter sprint is held on the last day. For the athletes engaged in the 400-meter sprint, Zhang Guan knows very few, but the country with the strongest 400-meter sprint in the world is undoubtedly the US team, so Zhang Guan was concerned about the participants of the US team.
The three strongest 400-meter players in the United States, Jeremy Varina, Otis Harris, and Derek Bruce, did not participate, and the three people on the list were Milton Campbell and Terry Washington and LaShawn Merritt.
For Zhang Guan, an athlete of LaShawn Merritt he still has some impressions. He is hailed as the second strongest athlete in the United States after Jeremy Varina, but now he is still young and has not yet run out of results.
"I don't know about the other two from the American team, Campbell and Washington! I will have to ask the coach later." Zhang Guan continued to check the list of 400-meter sprints.
The defending champion of this project is Francesco, an athlete from the small Caribbean country of Grenada, and who is also considered to be a popular champion in the 400 meters. For other athletes, Zhang Guan is completely ignorant.
...
On March 10, the World Athletics Indoor Championships is just beginning.
For Zhang Guan, the first day of the game is a great test of physical strength. He is going to participate in the group race of the 60-meter sprint at 12:40 noon, four hours later to participate in the semi-finals of the 60-meter sprint, and another hour and a half after that to participate in the group race of the 400-meter sprint, and he had the 60m finals to sprint for. This is equivalent to four matches a day.
Fortunately, the consumption of sixty meters is much smaller than that of 100 meters. Zhang Guan felt that he must be able to cope with the first three games. The last 60 meters final, if it is not possible, he has to use a physical recovery potion.
The game of Isinbayeva needs to be held tomorrow, and Zhang Guan became the biggest big name in today's field. Perhaps because of Sharapova, Zhang Guan's popularity in Moscow is even greater than that of Russian athletes. A few points higher, the 60-meter group stage and the semi-finals, every time Zhang Guan debuted, they were full of joy, and Zhang Guan also successfully entered the 60-meter final with two firsts.
After all, there are no top athletes in the world. For example, Trammel running the 110-meter hurdles can be used as a championship winner. How can Zhang Guan, a professional running 100 meters, lose his feet.
The next stage is the 400m sprint group stage.
Zhang Guan's current 400-meter official record is only the East Asian athlete's competition. People in Europe and the United States have always paid little attention to track and field competitions held in Asia. They also don't understand Zhang Guan's running method at all. However, taking into account Zhang Guan's reputation, the organizer gave Zhang Guan a star athlete's treatment when grouping in the 400-meter sprint group. There were no strong athletes in his group.
For other athletes participating in the 400 meters, this is also a good opportunity to observe Zhang Guan. Everyone does not know Zhang Guan's running method and technical characteristics in the 400 meters sprint, so they hope to observe through this game.
With a gunshot, Zhang Guan quickly entered the state of the game.
Zhang Guan's speed is still the same as before, and it seems to be faster than other athletes, but it does not have an advantage.
Next, entering the straight track, Zhang Guan still follows the previous running method. Without the obvious acceleration of other athletes, Zhang Guan did not take the lead and certainly did not fall behind.
The athletes entered the second corner at about the same time. The gap between the athletes in this group stage is not large. The running method also uses mainstream European and American running methods. I am afraid that the gap can only be seen after the sprint.
Soon after entering the curve, some athletes began to accelerate, only Zhang Guan was still following the original rhythm. Everyone else started to accelerate, and Zhang Guan still ran at the original rhythm. In comparison, it seemed to be much slower, and it was also in a backward position.
The audience didn't seem to understand that much. Many people gave out some sighs, and all the professional coaches and athletes frowned. Zhang Guan's expression was so strange.
"What is Zhang Guan doing? Why is he still running at the original rhythm? Why doesn't he sprint?"
"What kind of running is this? Is this a new tactic?"
The coach of the American team sneaked a glance at Yu Gui and others who were not far away and found that Yu Gui's face was calm, apparently not worried because of Zhang Guan's backwardness. The coach of the American team is more and more certain that Zhang Guan's running method is not that simple.
Next, the athlete entered the final straight, Zhang Guan was also the last athlete to enter the straight, and then Zhang Guan started to sprint towards the finish line.
"He's sprinting now? Maybe it's too late! Not necessarily, if there is a sprint level like Varina, maybe you can catch up before the finish line. I just don't know if his sprint level can be comparable to Varina." The coach of the US team made his judgment.
"Wow?" The audience at the scene exclaimed, Zhang Guan's speed suddenly increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he exceeded the two athletes who were behind.
"Why is this acceleration so fast? Is this even the 400-meter sprint? It's almost as fast as the 200-meter sprint! How could he still have so much physical reserve? He didn't do his best in the first place?"
At this moment, all the coaches and athletes on the court were impressed, and the everyone on the track was surpassed one by one, taking the lead at the 360-meter position, and then quickly left the second place behind. It wasn't until the end of the 20-meter distance that Zhang Guan resisted and rushed past the end by inertia.
46.05 seconds, this result is enough for the group to qualify in the indoor competition. However, it has brought enough shock to others.
"Is this the kind of retro running?" LaShawn Merritt immediately recalled the way of running at the same speed during the beginning and sprinting, in the end, decades ago, but in his memory, during this way of running, none of the athletes ran so fast in the final sprint.
"No, in the end, his speed is too fast, he doesn't seem to be running in the 400 meters at all, which shows that he has a lot of reserve physical strength in him. Since there is so much reserve physical strength, why would he use this retro running method? If he adopts some mainstream running methods, he will lead in the second corner. Why would he keep his physical strength until the last straight sprint? Did he intentionally play a heartbeat." Merritt scratched his head, but couldn't figure it out.
...
For athletes running 400 meters, it has a lot of physical exertion. In most track and field competitions, to allow athletes to better recover their physical strength, a 400-meter sprinter only runs once a day.
Zhang Guan has run two 60-sprints in the beginning and now ran another 400 meters, his physical strength is already below the normal line, and two hours later, he will also participate in the finals of the 60-meter sprint.
In the US team, Leonard Scott is very excited at this time, he feels that he may beat Zhang Guan in the 60-meter sprint event.
"If Zhang Guan didn't take part in the 400-meter sprint, I'm not his opponent, but he just killed himself and went running the 400-meter. Now he certainly doesn't have much physical strength! I will win the competition soon!" Scott couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, his mouth slightly upturned, and he even started to laugh.
Scott played against Zhang Guan before. At last year's World Athletics Championships, in the 100-meter sprint race, Scott was just a fish. No one cared about him. Everyone's focus was between Zhang Guan and Gatlin during the contest. In that game, Scott only ran out of seventh place, and this result was naturally ignored by everyone.
Later in the Golden Grand Prix of Athletics held in China, Scott met Zhang Guan again and wanted to collide with Zhang Guan deliberately. However, that time he became the background wall again. Zhang Guan broke the men's 100m world record in that game and became the focus of the entire event, and for Scott, no one remembered that he had participated in that game.
Today, in the face of a Zhang Guan who has little physical strength, Scott feels that his opportunity is coming.
"Zhang Guan! I remember that you are the holder of the 60-meter sprint world record! I remember you never lost in the competition you participated in! The world's first flying man? Then today, let me Leonard Scott especially kick you off the altar!"
