Chapter 283: Looking forward to the appearance of the chaser
Although Kwan Kazumin is located on the 5th circuit, the fire of "jealousy" rising in his heart is the strongest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ But unlike the other 6 participating athletes, who were purely "jealous" of Feng Quan, there was another flame called "competition" in Guan Hemin's heart.
Speaking of this Guan and the people, it can be regarded as "quite related" with Fengquan.
As early as two years ago, his cousin, Guan Heyou, who was praised by the domestic track and field community as the most promising "world-class" athlete in China after Qi Haifeng, was "unexpectedly" lost to Feng Quan, who had been unknown before.
Later, due to the inability to accept the pressure of consecutive defeats to Feng Quan, coupled with Guan Heyou's talent in the high jump event. So after a fierce ideological struggle, Guan Heyou gave up his "all-round ideal" and chose to focus on the high jump event.
Although Guan Heyou gave up the decathlon because of "inferior skills", Feng Quan's head cannot be blamed. But in Guan Hemin's view, the reason why his cousin chose to focus on high jump was because he was "forced" by the wind.
Therefore, even after a period of time, Guan Heyou himself has been relieved, Guan Hemin is still full of hatred for Feng Quan in his heart.
Coincidentally, the two who should have had no intersection gave Guan Hemin the opportunity to "take revenge" because of the idea of 400 meters in the wind.
It's a pity that Guan Hemin is a little embarrassed that when he tried to teach a good lesson to the guy who would "force" his cousin to "change" to high jump as a "sparring partner", he unexpectedly suffered a fiasco......
However, after the fiasco, Kwan Hemin did not become depressed like his cousin, but made him work harder in his subsequent training.
After a year of hard training, Guan Heyou's performance has improved very quickly. Not only did he win the 400-meter event in the previous two National Track and Field Grand Prix, but his performance has also been stable at about 45.30 seconds. Moreover, during a training session last week, he even broke the 45-second mark.
Because of this, even when Feng Quan ran a time of 44.99 seconds in the preliminaries, Guan Hemin still "stubbornly" believed that he had the strength to fight with the other party.
However, soon after the referee's starting gun rang out, Guan Hemin realized that his mentality of wanting to "compete" with Feng Quan turned out to be very naΓ―ve......
ββββββ
After the first 150 meters of the competition, Feng Quan and Guan Hemin, who were in the 4th and 5th tracks respectively, rushed to the forefront of all the athletes participating in the 400-meter final.
Immediately afterwards, just like the remake of the "first battle" between the two at the end of last year, although Feng Quan was slightly ahead, it was only about a meter or two ahead of Guan Hemin.
However, just when Guan Hemin thought that the great progress he had made with his hard training for more than half a year was enough to "entangle" with Feng Quan to the last moment of the race, when Feng Quan took the lead in the second corner, he not only immediately accelerated his rhythm, but also leaned his body more obviously when cornering than in the first corner.
So, when the second corner stage was over, Feng Quan had already widened the gap between himself and Guan Hemin to about 5 meters.
In fact, as early as the start of the 400m heats the day before, Feng Quan mentioned in a casual chat with El Karis: "I have an agreement with the provincial sports bureau that no matter if I break a record in any race, they will give me different amounts of bonuses according to the different levels of the competition", and the old American man "advised" him: "Then you are in the 400m race" Okay, you will first break China's national record in the preliminaries, and then break your continental record in the final......"
At the same time, in order for Feng Quan to break the Asian record "many times", El Karis also suggested that Feng Quan should not try his best even in the final, so as to lay a "foundation" for breaking the record again in the future.
Moreover, in order to be able to let Feng Quan "control" the game time well, the old American man also formulated detailed "tactics" for him before the finals began.
In the course of the first corner, let Feng Quan's speed be controlled at about 9 percent in daily practice, and at the same time, the degree of leaning inward will be maintained at about 8 percent of the usual level. By the second corner, it was back to normal for daily training.
As long as Feng Quan can execute his "tactical" arrangement well, then El Karis is confident that Feng Quan will "control" his time in the 400m race in about 44.50 seconds.
In this way, it can not only help Feng Quan break the Asian record of 44.56 seconds held by the Omanis, but also allow Feng Quan to "retain" the space for "breaking the record again" in future competitions.
ββββββ
Looking at the back of the "fading away" in front of him, Guan Hemin couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Is this guy still human? I haven't had systematic training for more than half a year, but I still have the strength to stay in the preliminaries...... Alas! It's really hard to beat him......"
However, although he was quite emotional about Feng Quan's "perverted" strength, Guan Hemin, who was determined, did not lose confidence because of Feng Quan's "strength".
When the other 6 contestants saw that the wind was all over the place, they gradually lost the confidence to catch up. Even though he knew that he could no longer overtake his opponent, Guan Hemin still tried his best to catch up with Feng Quan, who was in the lead.
After all, even if he can't beat Feng Quan in this race, Guan Hemin still wants to hit the 400m A standard at the World Championships in Moscow.
Speaking of which, this Guan Hemin was really a little unlucky before this contest with Feng Quan.
Although he won the 400m event in two national track and field Grand Prix in late April and mid-May. However, the results in these two competitions are always a fraction of a small difference from the A standard of the World Championships.
Especially in the Quancheng race more than half a month ago, Guan Hemin's time of 45.29 seconds was very "hard" and the A standard of the Moscow World Championships was 0.01 seconds......
However, the reason for such an embarrassing situation is also related to the fact that Feng Quan did not participate in those two competitions. Because in those two races, the runner-up finisher was at least 0.5 seconds behind Kwan Kazumin.
The lack of pressure in the game made it difficult for Kwan to give his best throughout the match.
And Feng Quan's "strength" in this game not only did not "intimidate" Guan Hemin, but completely stimulated his full potential.
In the end, not only did Feng Quan win the 400-meter championship of the National Track and Field Championships very easily under the "tactical guidance" of El Karis and the assistance of the system's [Timing and Ranging] device. He also broke the Asian record held by Omani Malaki with a time of 44.52 seconds.
At the same time, under the "stimulus" of Fengquan, Guan Hemin, who had been in a state of full strength until he crossed the finish line, also got his wish with a time of 45.19 seconds, reaching the A standard of the 400m race at the Moscow World Championships.
As for the results of the other six participating athletes, they are more than one notch worse than the two of them. Even Chen Xinjian, a player from Jinmen who won the third place, was even nearly 1 second slower than Guan Hemin......
ββββββ
Due to the decathlon competition the next day, after the final of the men's 400m event, surrounded by dozens of reporters, Feng Quan simply answered a few questions, and then hurriedly left the stadium and returned to the hotel.
And the vast majority of the reporters who were not able to "dig out" too much news from the whole body of the wind did not immediately go to the scene, but chose Guan Hemin as their interview target.
After all, in addition to Feng Quan's breaking the 400-meter Asian record, which is big news, the long-weak Chinese men's 400-meter event has two athletes who have won the right to participate in the World Championships at the same time, which is also enough to make domestic sports fans who pay attention to track and field feel excited.
"You didn't win the title, but congratulations on qualifying for the World Championships." A reporter from CCTV sincerely expressed his blessings to Guan Hemin.
"Thank you." In the face of the reporter's sincere wishes, Guan Hemin also returned the favor with a friendly smile.
"How are you feeling at the moment?" After the greetings, the CCTV reporter who had just expressed his blessing threw out a very patterned question.
"Although, although I only won the runner-up in this event today...... But my mood right now ...... Still very happy. Guan Hemin said excitedly while trying to adjust his uneven breathing.
But I don't know why, in this "happy and peaceful" atmosphere, the "snapping" of a female reporter from a little-known small website wearing a pair of rimless eyes broke this "peace" very abruptly.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the CCTV reporter, the "eyed woman" suddenly "stuffed" the voice recorder in her hand in front of Guan Hemin.
"Then I can understand that even if you lose the game, you don't think it matters?"
Hearing this, Guan Hemin's brows immediately furrowed, and then he turned his head to look at the female reporter with rimless eyes who was obviously provocative in her words.
Taking a deep breath and trying to restrain his emotions, Guan Hemin said in a deep voice: "Of course it's not what you said. As an athlete, no one is willing to lose to their opponents. However, after all, everyone's talent is different, and you can't just 'want to' to do it. For myself, having done my best, I don't have any regrets even if I lose to my opponent. β
After a pause, Guan Hemin continued: "What's more, I also set a new personal best in today's competition, and I also got the right to participate in the World Championships. β
Immediately afterwards, just when other reporters wanted to continue to ask questions, Guan Hemin, who was affected by the "discordant" question of the "glasses girl", declined the interview with others. Then walk quickly in the direction of the athlete-only lane.
Although he was ruined by the "glasses girl", in the process of walking towards the athlete's passage, Guan Hemin's heart actually had an "incredible" feeling.
If before the start of this 400-meter final, Guan Hemin only thought about defeating Feng Quan "before the snow". So when he was "stimulated" by Fengquan and stimulated all his potential, so as to obtain the right to participate in the World Championships, he actually vaguely felt a sense of "gratitude".
Through this contest, Guan Hemin finally understood a truth. If you want to keep improving yourself, in addition to your own unremitting efforts, it is also very important to set a goal for yourself to catch up.
Even if you know that even if you try your best, you may not be able to defeat the target you are chasing, you must try to narrow the gap between yourself and the other party.
Moreover, Guan Hemin also realized that he must abandon the mentality of "jealousy and hatred", and let his heart only pursue the Olympic spirit of "faster and stronger", so that he can constantly break through his own limits.
Guan Hemin, who figured out these truths, went straight to Feng Quan, who had just changed into dry clothes, after entering the athletes' locker room. Then he stretched out his right hand to his friendly face with a sincere face.
The next moment, when Feng Quanquan held his outstretched right hand with a smile, Guan Heyou smiled and said, "I am very happy to have the opportunity to compete with you in this competition. β
"If you can make me do my best in the game, it shows that you are also very strong." received compliments from the other party, and Feng Quan's mood was also good.
"Although I lost to you this time, I will definitely redouble my efforts when I go back and try to catch up with you as soon as possible." Guan Hemin said confidently.
Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Feng Quan's face.
Although Feng Quan has long become synonymous with Chinese athletics. But in fact, the status of Chinese track and field in the world track and field is still not high.
For example, in the men's 400m event, in addition to breaking the Asian record Feng Quan, and Guan Hemin, who also qualified for the World Championships, "reluctantly" reached the world-class level in this event, the overall level of other domestic athletes is still very weak.
Moreover, even in the Chinese men's 100-meter sprint, which has improved rapidly in recent years, with the leader of Feng Quan, in the 4X100 relay competition of last year's London Olympics, it is still a notch behind Jamaica and the United States, two super sprinting powers......
It is precisely because of this that Feng Quancai deeply understands that no matter how strong his strength is, if he wants to make achievements in collective projects, he must rely on strong overall strength to do it. Moreover, only if the overall strength of the project has been improved, can Chinese track and field be widely recognized in the world.
So, in the face of Guan Heyou's "Challenge Declaration", Feng said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to the appearance of the chaser......"
