Chapter 184: 200m Semi-final (I)

Syllable!

Match guns rang out.

Yang Guangzong's starting speed is not slow, for a 200-meter runner, the starting reaction speed of the corner can be controlled within 0.2 seconds, which is relatively good.

His reaction time of 0.162 seconds was second in the group, behind Germany's Dirheimki in lane 7 with a reaction time of 0.144 seconds.

The rest of the runners generally started with a reaction time of 0.170 seconds, and the strongest American star Bernard Williams was at the bottom of the group at 0.217 seconds.

However, the 200-meter run does not have such high requirements for the starting response as the 100-meter, and the 200-meter and 400-meter events are suitable for athletes with higher stature and strong speed endurance due to the need for speed endurance and acceleration due to the curve start.

Due to their size and height, as well as the curve, these athletes will have a slower starting reaction than the 100-meter athletes.

Of course, because of the long distance, even if you are a little behind in the starting reflexes, you will not completely miss the opportunity to catch up. However, it is always advantageous to have a fast reaction time at the start.

From the beginning of the run together, Yang Guangzong began to chase the figures of other athletes, he was the first one, and the other seven runners were in front of him.

Relatively speaking, in the 200-meter event or the 400-meter event, the first course is not a good one, because it is in the innermost position, from the start to the whole process of the corner, it is in a state of catching up with other runners.

If the other runners are too strong, it is easy to create the illusion that the runners behind will not be able to catch up no matter what. It is easy to affect confidence, and then be disrupted by the rhythm.

Yang Guangzong had this feeling at this time, his starting reaction was very good, his height of 1.87 meters gave him enough leg length advantage, after the start, he was already accelerating as fast as possible, but in the distance of 100 meters in the corner, he was always behind. I can't measure exactly where I am now.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters......

Soon, the last ten meters of the corner.

At this time, he gradually felt that he was not running slowly, and he began to catch up. On his right, the second runner near the lap is already in the middle of him.

If the player in the inside lane is in the same position as the player in the outside lane, it means that the player in the inside lane is faster than the outside lane.

A little faster, a little faster!

Yang Guangzong gritted his teeth, his chest swelled, and he desperately swung his arms and increased his cadence.

He's tall and long-legged, and he's got a good endurance in the second half, so he knows that as long as he gets up to speed in the first half and keeps up with a lot of competitors, he'll have an advantage in the second half.

In the second half of the race, the athlete began to compete for speed endurance, which is the ability to maintain high speed on the way, even if his absolute speed is poor, but with good speed endurance and the advantage of long legs and large stride, he will definitely not run too badly.

"Yang Guangzong, come on!"

"Chinese team, come on!"

Corners into straights!

One of the most important dividing points in the 200-meter event, all the spectators on the sidelines began to shout.

Yang Guangzong faintly heard that someone was cheering for him, but at this time he didn't care about it at all, he needed to stabilize his top speed and keep it as fast as possible.

From the start, to the acceleration, to the middle run, to the final sprint, the overall athlete's speed is a peak of the line, he has run past the highest point of speed, and now he wants to extend this maximum speed descent curve as much as possible.

His long-term experience in 200-meter training has taught him that entering the straight in a corner is a hurdle, and the running distance of athletes has exceeded 100 meters, and many athletes with strong explosive power in the first half, like his teammate Shen Yunbao, have to slow down at this stage.

In addition, there are some athletes who have average cornering skills, but control the running rhythm as a whole, and after entering the straight, they will run more and more comfortably, and enter the second half of the sprint. Compared to other athletes who start to lose their speed quickly past the top point, this group of people is more able to maintain their mid-course speed in the straights. In his memory, his opponent Shingo Sueji used to run like this.

The 100-meter event and the 200-meter event emphasize absolute speed, and you can run when you get on the track, but in fact, there is still a lot of rhythm control and speed distribution during the running process.

Among them, the distance of the 100-meter event is too short, and many times it can only emphasize the rhythm, and the speed distribution is not applicable, while the 200-meter is relatively practical, and the first half of the acceleration is sufficient, and the strength of nine points to run can make the average maximum speed maintain for a longer time.

This is also the reason why the requirements for starting reaction are lower in the 200m event than in the 100m event, and he gives the runners who have a bad start a time to adjust.

Crossing the final corner, Yang Guangzong was on the far left lane, and he couldn't know exactly where he was, but he could clearly feel that he had been completely overtaken by the competitor in his second lane.

And the corner of his eye swept to the side, and there were several figures faintly in front of him in the other Dao Dao.

Athletes are extremely focused on the track, but it is also necessary to judge where they are.

When running, many experienced sprinters will use the corner of their eyes to determine their position and position at a certain time. The process is fast, and it is not tilted to look at it, it is just a moment, even if the camera shoots it up close, it is only to see the athlete's eyes roll slightly.

After Liu Yangyu won the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan in May this year, he talked about it in the post-race interview, when he stepped into the ninth hurdle, he suddenly glanced left and right out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly found that there was no one on the left and right, and at that moment he knew that his championship had been stabilized.

Catch up with them!

Yang Guangzong only had one thought in his heart at this time, there was already a straight line in front of him, and he couldn't determine where the finish line was at a glance, but the referee and cameraman standing in the finish line area were already telling him the location.

Not far away, there are still seventy meters, sixty meters...... It's almost the end.

In the sound of puff footsteps, eight runners swept across the track like a gust of wind.

On the sidelines of the field, the sound of cheering was amazing.

In a breath of time, the athletes will reach the last 10 or 20 meters, and the athletes on the field have entered the most tired time at this time, and can continue to run, but the speed is difficult to improve.

It's just that the end is in sight, and everyone is sprinting with their last breath.

The sound of applause, castanets, and whistles came and went, and the sound of cheering in Chinese was completely inaudible in this enthusiastic scene, which was the home of the Greek people, who were cheering for Anastasias Goses in the third lane.

Yang Guangzong didn't care about this at all, he was already running with all his might, starting fast, having a good rhythm, maintaining the fullest speed in corners, and maintaining his rhythm in the straights.

He could feel that there were runners in front of him, but it didn't matter, the goal was the finish line, run, run!

The last 10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters......

Hit the line!

Countless screams, applause, and excited shouts rang out, and the entire Olympic Stadium was boiling.

In sprint competition, the most exciting moment is always the moment when the athlete crosses the finish line!

In 20.40 seconds, the first to cross the finish line was American star Bernard Williams.

Although he was the slowest to start, the 200-meter event, from the corner to the straight, gave him enough time to adjust and catch up, and still won the first place in the group with his outstanding strength. And with Bernard Williams' strength, everyone knows that without a strong competitor, he may still have reservations.

With the sound of the live broadcast, the results and rankings of the athletes in the second group of the semi-finals have appeared on the big screen.

Yang Guangzong's shoulders, chest and abdomen continued to rise and fall, his hands were on his waist, exhausted, even in the preliminaries, he did not run so hard and tired.

And when he raised his head and looked at the big screen at the scene, for a moment, he lost his mind slightly.

On the big screen, in order of ranking, the results of the same group of players have been displayed.

1. Fourth lane, Bernard Williams, USA, reaction 0.217, score 20.40;

2. Third lane, Anastasias Gossius, Greece, reaction 0.195, score 20.46;

3. First Channel, Yang Guangzong, China, reaction 0.162, score 20.54;

4. Sixth lane, Masinjigran, Poland, reaction 0.162, score 20.55;

5. 7th lane, Dirhemki, Germany, reaction 0.144, score 20.76;

6. Eighth lane, Bryan Zingai, Zimbabwe, reaction 0.206, score 20.87;

7. 2nd lane, Makotori, Italy, reaction 0.177, score 20.89;

8. Fifth lane, Malik, Algeria, reaction 0.175, score 20.93;

"20.54?!"

Yang Guangzong looked at this result, waved his hands suddenly, and shouted loudly.

He ran 20.54 seconds, third in the group.

He has made it to the semi-finals, and he has set his best in history!

"Su Zu, it's coming to you soon, I'm waiting for you in the semifinals!"
