Chapter 101 200m National Record

The soft soot track affected Chen's performance, and he finally ran a time of 10.7 seconds.

Liu Changchun was 0.2 seconds slower than Chen Qiang and ended the race with a time of 10.7 seconds.

Although he lost the game, Liu Changchun did not seem very depressed.

"It's really the No. 1 in Asia, I've done my best, and I'm not your opponent." Liu Changchun said.

"I mainly won in the second half." Chen Qiang lowered his voice and said in a reminding tone: "You should really strengthen the second half of your journey." Our domestic athletes are generally powerless, but those top foreign masters are different, they run very well in the second half of the race. The Japanese Takaku Yoshioka who I fought against before, he should not be as good as you in the first half, but the strength in the second half is very good. If you don't have a good second half, you will definitely suffer at the Olympics. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I'm sure I'm going to practice the second half of my journey when I go back." Liu Changchun said.

In fact, the two losses to Chen Qiang were lost in the second half of the chain, and Liu Changchun has also realized his shortcomings, and he already plans to strengthen himself in the second half.

Historically, Liu Changchun was after the defeat in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, he began to pay attention to the second half of the practice, and by the time of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, his second half of the run had been significantly strengthened, but unfortunately Liu Changchun in 1936 was 27 years old, and after leaving the Northeast, Liu Changchun's training was not guaranteed, so in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Liu Changchun also returned home.

I only heard Liu Changchun ask: "You also want to participate in the 200-meter preliminaries in the afternoon, right?" I've never seen you in the 200m before, how are you doing? ”

"At the end of last year, I competed against the Japanese in Tianjin in the 200 meters, and one of my opponents was Yoshizo Sasaki and the other was Iwao Abu, I don't know if you've heard of them." Chen Qiang replied.

"It's kind of ear-scratching." Liu Changchun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know about the two Japanese, and then he asked, "As a result, did you win?" ”

"Winning by luck." Chen Qiang said modestly.

"You can do it, you won two Japanese. Since these two Japanese dare to go to Tianjin to challenge, their skills must be extraordinary! It seems that the 200-meter dash may not be your opponent. Liu Changchun said half-jokingly.

"Don't talk nonsense, when I was racing against the Japanese, my time was 22.2 seconds, and you can run 22 seconds in 200 meters, will you still be able to beat me?" Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

"Who said I could run 22 seconds in the 200 meters?" Liu Changchun denied it, and then he lowered his voice and said: "It's just that I can run into 22 seconds during training, and I have never run such a result in the competition!" ”

Chen Qiang's expression was slightly surprised, because in Chen Qiang's memory, the 200-meter national record during the Republic of China was the 22 seconds held by Liu Changchun.

It seems that Liu Changchun has not yet made a national record of 22 seconds. But he can run 22 seconds in practice, so he can run a 22-second time at any time in a race. In the 200-meter race, I still can't take it lightly! ”

……

In the preliminary and semi-finals of the 200 meters, Chen Qiang still did not meet a strong opponent and was escorted to the finals.

Of course, in the preliminary round and semi-finals, Chen Qiang did not show his real strength, the opponent was too weak, and Chen Qiang did not need to exert force to be able to qualify.

After all, this is only the North China Games, not the whole of China, except for Liaoning, that is, the athletes of Beiping and Tianjin still have some strength, and other places such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places do not have good universities at all, and there are no good athletes without good universities.

Therefore, in the North China Games, the overall level of athletes is slightly inferior.

If there are many first-class universities and excellent athletes in Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places participating in the National Games, the overall level of athletes will also rise to a higher level.

……

In the 200-meter final, as soon as Chen Qiang appeared on the stage, he ushered in full applause.

After the victory of the 100-meter sprint, many viewers have already known Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang is an athlete of the Shandong team, especially supported by the parents and villagers in Jinan.

Liu Changchun looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "When I was in the Northeast, there weren't so many audiences to support me. ”

"It's also my first time competing in my hometown." Chen Qiang let out a long sigh and continued: "In fact, since I left Jinan in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, this is the first time I have come back. It's already been a matter of life here, and I don't have any relatives in Jinan. ”

Liu Changchun opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Chen Qiang, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he patted Chen Qiang's shoulder and changed the topic: "When you compete for a while, you have to come on, your 22.2 seconds may not be able to beat mine." ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best! If you don't run hard, you might lose to me! Chen Qiang said with a smile.

The two encouraged each other and stood on the starting line.

The 200 meters started at the corner, and this time, Liu Changchun was still in the second lane, while Chen Qiang was in the third lane. So Chen Qiang's starting position is in front of Liu Changchun's right.

Liu Changchun's starting position is along the curve of the track, as are the other athletes, except for Chen Qiang, whose starting direction is oblique and as close to the outside line of the track as possible.

In the 200-meter preliminaries, Liu Changchun had already seen Chen Qiang's way of starting in a corner, and he discussed it with Coach Song and came to the conclusion that such an inclined start was to get a larger sprint distance at the start.

Both Liu Changchun and Coach Song felt that this way of starting was obviously more scientific than the traditional starting method, but Liu Changchun did not blindly learn. After the sprinters reach the level of national first-class athletes, their technical characteristics have been relatively mature, and at this time, hastily changing one of their skills will not only not improve their performance, but will make their performance decline.

So Liu Changchun just kept Chen Qiang's starting method in mind, and when he returned to the Northeast, he still needed to learn Chen Qiang's corner start through training.

"Ready, ready!" The starter shouted and raised the starting pistol, and the audience fell silent.

"Smack!" At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the athletes started to start, and at the same time there was a frantic shout from the stands.

"Chen Qiang, come on!"

"Chen Qiang, come on!"

Everyone is cheering for Chen Qiang, after all, this is a local player in Jinan.

On the track, Chen Qiang turned a blind eye to the cheering around him, and at this time he focused all his attention on the race.

After all, this is a corner run, and Chen Qiang has to follow the left inner line of the track as much as possible while accelerating the turn, so as to get the shortest distance to travel, and at the same time he has to avoid stepping on the line and committing fouls.

To do this, Chen Qiang must devote a part of his energy to keep an eye on the runway at all times, and he can't make mistakes in every step, so he must be careful with every step. But at the same time, he needs to increase his speed as much as possible, so he has to be bold with every step

Being bold and careful is probably the state that Chen Qiang is presenting now.

……

Liu Changchun noticed that Chen Qiang's body was tilted.

"His body is oblique, what's the use of that?" Liu Changchun's physics is obviously relatively general, and I don't know that this is using centripetal force.

However, the speed shown by Chen Qiang made Liu Changchun a little frightened.

"It's so fast, this is a curve run, Chen Qiang can still run so fast, how did he do it!" Liu Changchun had already realized that Chen Qiang's speed in the corners was much faster than his own.

Athletes in this era do not know how to use centripetal force to accelerate, they are actually using their bodies to fight against centripetal force in corners, and the speed of this curve naturally cannot be improved. For many athletes in the thirties, if the speed of the corner is too fast, it is very likely that they will not be able to control the body turn, so Liu Changchun is a little incomprehensible for Chen Qiang's high-speed corner running.

If you are a professor at Springfield College in the United States, after carefully observing Chen Qiang's cornering run, you will generally understand the principle. However, if you want to imitate, it is not an overnight thing. After all, Chen Qiang uses the sprinting skills of the future, which is the best plan obtained after decades of continuous practice and research for several generations.

Moreover, in the future, high-level sports training has been systematized, a 200-meter sprint, involving not only sprint technical training, but also physical training, those world-class sprinters, but also need psychological stability training, which in the thirties, not only the training technology can not be reached, the training concept, the training hardware, also all can not be reached.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang has a training space so that he can enjoy future training, otherwise, with the backward training conditions of the thirties, even if Chen Qiang has a sports concept from the future, he will not reach the level of future athletes.

To get back to the point, at this time, Liu Changchun had already discovered that Chen Qiang's cornering speed was amazing, and he not only couldn't catch up with Chen Qiang, but he would also be pulled away.

In yesterday's 100-meter sprint final, Liu Changchun was able to keep up with Chen Qiang's pace in the first half of the race.

But in today's 200-meter final, Liu Changchun was thrown away by Chen Qiang in the 100-meter corner in front of him! Liu Changchun suddenly felt that in the 200-meter event, instead of narrowing the gap between him and Chen Qiang, the gap was even greater.

Liu Changchun's heart rose with a complicated feeling, anxious, irritable, helpless, and unwilling!

"I have already lost the 100m dash once yesterday, and this time I must not admit defeat easily!" Liu Changchun still did not choose to give up, but the backwardness at this time stimulated his will, let him give it a go, and chase with all his might.

……

Since the starting position of the 200 meters was not in the same straight line, Chen Qiang, who was closer to the front, did not pay attention to Liu Changchun on the left track, and he did not feel the pressure brought by Liu Changchun.

Chen Qiang's main focus is still on the track under his feet, he tries to control the landing place of each step, and always maintains a high-speed run.

Once he enters the straight, Chen Qiang no longer has to be careful with his feet, nor does he have to spend energy on the skills of cornering, he can use all his energy in the sprint.

The focus of Chen Qiang's feet has changed, in the curve, the inside of the forefoot of the right foot lands on the ground, and the outside of the forefoot of the left foot lands on the ground, so that the body is in an inclined state, and it is obvious that there is no need to run like this in the straight, so Chen Qiang chose to land his feet normally.

It's just that in the process, Chen Qiang made some mistakes, and his pace was a little disordered.

This technical transition between the corners and the straights is also a major point in the 200-meter run, and if there is a problem with the connection between the corner and the straight, it will be at least 0.1 seconds slower.

Chen Qiang also quickly realized that he had made a mistake and should have been delayed by 0.1 seconds.

"I ran too hard in front of me and my body wasn't relaxed enough, so when I turned into a straight in a corner, the technical movement was too stiff, which led to mistakes." In Chen Qiang's mind, the reason for the mistake had already been analyzed in an instant.

The 200m is different from the 100m, which requires a curve to turn into a straight, so there is a so-called "relaxation technique" in the 200m sprint. This technique did not exist until 2008, but it was only when Usain Bolt broke the 200m world record in 2008 that numerous coaches and researchers noticed this relaxation technique.

Usain Bolt runs the 200 meters, which is far more relaxed than when he runs the 100 meters, and watching the footage of the 200 meters, you will often find that he looks left and right, as if he is not very focused.

However, after sports scientists entered Bolt's movements into the computer for comparative analysis, they found that this was a very relaxed way to run.

Subsequently, sports experts have studied that body relaxation is conducive to maintaining the coordination of the body during high-speed exercise, and is also conducive to allowing the nervous system and muscular system to achieve a higher degree of cooperation, which is greatly improved for corner running.

Then the exercise experts continued to study and discovered a new phenomenon.

We all know that the relaxation of muscles in high-speed exercise will lead to a decrease in speed, but if the degree of muscle relaxation is higher, the slower the speed decreases; Conversely, the lower the degree of muscle relaxation, the faster the speed will decrease.

This series of research results has led to the emergence of a new sports concept, and many sprint coaches have begun to try to let athletes relax their muscles properly during high-speed running, which will have better results.

Just now, Chen Qiang was not relaxed enough, and his whole body was too tight, so when he entered the straight in the corner, there was a mistake in footwork.

Chen Qiang quickly adjusted, but his speed dropped significantly at this moment. This is in response to the results of research that the lower the muscle relaxation, the faster the speed decreases.

Chen Qiang felt that this mistake and the subsequent adjustment caused him to lose more than 0.1 seconds, and Chen Qiang estimated that this loss was close to 0.2 seconds.

"I'm a little less experienced in the 200m dash, otherwise I wouldn't have made this mistake." Chen Qiang was a little dissatisfied with his performance, but fortunately he is now in the first position, and other athletes have not caught up.

After entering the straight track, Chen Qiang can finally spare some energy and observe the situation of other athletes. The main thing is to take a look at Liu Changchun's situation.

Liu Changchun is still desperately chasing after Chen Qiang, although he is lagging behind, there is no discouragement in his eyes, but he is more and more high-spirited.

This is Liu Changchun, an athlete who will never admit defeat easily.

All the athletes ran out of the corner and entered the stage of the 100-meter sprint, at this time there is no trick to speak of, just rush forward with their heads stuffed!

……

"Chen Qiang, come on! Chen Qiang, come on! ”

There was already a neat shout in the audience, and as Chen Qiang got closer and closer to the end, the sound gradually began to be neat.

Chen Qiang also noticed that the voices cheering for himself, although they were all Shandong dialects, had a different taste in their ears.

Chen Qiang is a traverser, he is no longer the original Chen Qiang, and he does not have the kindness of his hometown for Jinan.

But at this time, this burst of cheering with Shandong's dialect made Chen Qiang feel the taste of the local accent.

Some people say that Shandong dialect sounds very earthy, but at this time, Chen Qiang feels that these voices cheering for him are the most beautiful melodies of time. The shouts of cheering seemed to beat the war drums specifically for him and motivate him to move forward; And the time he shouted his name again and again, what was full of expectations for the victory of the hometown players!

Chen Qiang enjoyed the feeling, which would make him feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfy his vanity a little. At the same time, this will also make Chen Qiang realize the value of his existence.

But more than that, it's moving!

Thousands of people, they have nothing to do with Chen Qiang, but they are shouting Chen Qiang's name, cheering for Chen Qiang hoarsely, and looking forward to Chen Qiang's victory!

This kind of touch, just like that, came inexplicably, and it is difficult to describe in words.

The next moment, Chen Qiang came to the finish line, he held his head high, hit the finish line, and in this way, he brought the surrounding shouts to a climax!

"Win, win!"

"Our Shandong team has won again!"

"Chen Qiang has won again!"

All this, tens of thousands of Jinan elders in the stadium began to share the joy of victory, and they enjoyed the beautiful fruits of victory together with Chen Qiang.

……

The referees and timekeepers checked and finally announced the results.

"Liaoning team, Liu Changchun, 22.3 seconds!"

Liu Changchun was applauded at the scene, and Liu Changchun sighed helplessly.

22.3 seconds, which is not the best for Liu Changchun, but it is already very good. This slightly soft runway also affected Liu Changchun's performance, otherwise he should be able to go faster.

"Shandong team, Chen Qiang ......" The referee deliberately pulled a long tone, and then said loudly: "22 seconds!" ”

Hearing this achievement, the surprise on Chen Qiang's face flashed.

Since the current Liu Changchun has not made a national record of 22 seconds, then Chen Qiang's 22 seconds run today is a new 200-meter national record!
