Zhang Guan crossed the finish line first, and the advantage was very obvious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sheng Xibei looked ahead, Zhang Guan was too far ahead of him, especially in the final sprint, the gap between the two was widened a lot.
"How can there be such a big gap? Am I being too slow? Sheng Xibei looked at the timing card, and he found his results.
"40.115 seconds, my score is very close to the 40-second mark, my speed is not slow, but I am still so far behind Zhang Guan, is Zhang Guan already within 40 seconds?" Sheng Xibei immediately looked at Zhang Guan's results, and then his face changed greatly.
Hamelin was the third to cross the finish line, but he was frustrated.
"I only won the third place, Sheng Xibei is strong enough, but I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be even more powerful than Sheng Xibei!"
Before the game, Hamelin was full of confidence in himself, because his strength has been able to slide into less than 41 seconds, can already break the world record, in Hamelin's understanding, can break the world record, will definitely win a gold medal.
However, what Hamelin didn't expect was that he was not the only one who could break the world record, there were two other people, and two stronger people.
Hamelin looked at his own results, 40.229 seconds, he was only a little more than 0.1 seconds slower than Sheng Xibei, and simply looking at the results, Hamelin can be considered satisfied, but this result can only get a bronze medal.
"I skated quite well just now, although I didn't reach the best level in training, but it's not much worse, the gap between me and Sheng Xibei just now is not very much, but Zhang Guan is about to lead us by such a big distance, how fast is he?"
……
"Hamelin, 40.229 seconds, that's a world record, but he only finished third!"
"Sheng Xibei, 40.115 seconds, faster than Hamelin, is also a result that can break the world record, but it is only a silver medal, in front of them, Zhang Guan won the championship with an absolute advantage, then Zhang Guan's result is ......"
The narrator pulled a long note and said loudly: "38 seconds 998!" Zhang Guan not only entered the 40-second mark, but also entered the 39-second mark! He improved the world record in the 500m by 1.5 seconds, which is unbelievable! Unbelievable results! I really didn't expect that Zhang Guan would be so much faster than Sheng Xibei and Hamelin. ”
While everyone else has set a world record by 0.1 seconds, Zhang Guan suddenly improved the world record by 1.5 seconds, which may not have been achieved in decades in sprint racing.
"Is this Zhang Guan's real strength? It's 1.5 seconds faster than the world record, and this new world record can't be broken in 20 years! Coach Li Bing suddenly remembered Zhang Guan's words before the game.
"Three events, three gold medals, three world records! It turns out that what Zhang Guan said is true, he is really retaining his strength in the previous game......" Coach Li Bing thought of this, but his eyes revealed a look of excitement.
"Now we have won all six gold medals in short track speed skating, and in the next women's 1000m final, we have two competitors, and the Korean team has only one person, so we have a good chance of winning the championship. And in the final men's relay race, with Zhang Guan, we also have hope! As long as we put Zhang Guan in the last stick, we have a chance to win the championship......"
Coach Li Bing began to think about the men's 5,000-meter relay race in short track speed skating.
……
In the women's 1000m final, the women of the Chinese team lived up to expectations and added another gold, and the national team also won all seven gold medals produced by short track speed skating.
Next up is the men's 5,000m relay, which is also the last event of short track speed skating.
The four teams that entered the relay race were Canada, the United States, South Korea and China.
In the relay race of short track speed skating, each team also has four competitors participating, and a total of 45 laps of 5,000 meters are required. However, unlike the track and field relay, the short track speed skating relay does not have a limit on the number of laps that each team member can ride, and can be changed at any time during the race, with the only requirement being that the first person to skate must cover one lap, while the last relay must complete the last two laps.
Therefore, under this rule, the handover of the baton by the athletes is also relatively casual, but in order to maintain the speed, it is often a handover of one and a half to two laps, which means that in the course of a race, each player will always play four or five times. Of course, if you want to skate 42 laps by one person, it is not impossible for the other three people to skate one lap per person, but that speed is not dominant, after all, normal athletes can maintain a full speed skating for two laps at most, and the distance is longer, and the speed will be reduced.
In addition, there is no baton relay in short track speed skating, in the race, the baton bearer can enter the track at any time, and keep the attitude of sliding, waiting for the baton handover, and the baton handover only needs to push hard behind him, even if the baton is completed.
Therefore, the basic process of the short track speed relay race is generally like this: A starts to slide, one and a half to two laps and then handed over to B, B slides one and a half to two laps and is handed over to C, C slides one and a half to two laps and is handed over to D, D is handed over to A after one and a half to two laps, at this time A has rested, so he can still maintain the fastest speed, and then give B, then C, and so on, until the end of the race.
Basically, the interval between two appearances in each sport is four to six laps, and the interval is close to one minute, which is enough for the athlete's body to rest and then sprint with all their strength on the next time.
When each athlete goes on the field, they are trying their best to fight, no need to think about physical strength, anyway, they only need to slide two laps to go down to rest, so in this event, the players with fast speed and strong explosive power have an advantage, and those who are good at long-distance combat and have strong follow-up ability are not as good as those who can rush in a short distance The more fierce players have an advantage.
At the same time, it is precisely because everyone skates at most two laps on the field, so the gap between the distance between the players is not very large. This is like a sprint sport, if you only run 20 meters, it is estimated that Liu Fei and Bolt will not have much difference, 40 meters of leading must be Bolt, 60 meters The gap between the two will come, if it reaches 100 meters, the result is self-evident.
In the time of two laps, the lead that can be obtained is too limited, and the race will be disturbed by the opponent's baton handover, and you will lose time when you hand over the baton, so in the relay race of 5000m short track speed skating, it is difficult to get a decisive advantage in the first 43 laps, and the key is to look at the last two laps.
The rules dictate that the last two laps must be completed by the same athlete, and after the last baton handover, there is no obstacle on the track, and the speed of the last runner to sprint will directly determine the outcome of the race.
……
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Zhang Guan, the strength of our three opponents would be stronger than ours." Coach Li Bing looked at his teammates and said, "I don't need to say much about the Korean team, you also know how good they are. Athletes from European and American countries may not be reliable for them to skate long distances, but their level in short distances is not weak at all, and if each person only skates one and a half to two laps, they may have an advantage. Especially Team Canada! ”
Coach Li Bing specially said to Zhang Guan: "Hamelin of the Canadian team, you have just learned in the 500m final, he is very fast in the first half of the race, if it is only two laps, it is just in his advantage period." And he also has a younger brother, the famous François Hamelin, although not as dazzling as his brother, but also very strong in short-distance explosiveness. ”
"But aren't we also very good at short-range explosiveness?" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"That's right, short-distance explosiveness is indeed our strength." Coach Li Bing nodded.
The weakness of the second half of the competition is a big problem for the national team men's short track speed skating, which can be clearly seen from the competition, in many competitions, the male players of the Chinese team often rush to the front at the beginning of the game, and the leading skating is also a frequent thing, but in the middle and late stages, it will always be surpassed by other opponents, and in the final sprint, it will even be opened up a big gap, which is caused by the follow-up physical strength can not keep up.
But if it is only one and a half to two laps, the Chinese team is also considered to be the world's top level, and it is not as good as the opponent, that is if Coach Li Bing is modest, in fact, in the relay race, he can at least compete with several other teams.
"Another thing we need to pay attention to is not to make a mistake when handing over the baton." Li Bing said solemnly.
The baton handover of the short track speed skating relay is very simple, push it directly behind even if the handover is completed, but the baton receiver cannot stand there and wait for the baton handover to push, the baton receiver also has to help skate a distance first, which is the same as the running in the track and field relay race, and the speed of short track speed skating is obviously faster than the sprint, and it is not a lane split, plus the situation on the field is changing rapidly, so there will always be a situation where the baton hander can not come to the rear of the baton, and the baton handover can not be completed. And this is a mistake in handing over the baton.
However, unlike track and field, it doesn't matter if the baton handover is wrong in the short track speed skating relay, the big deal is to let the athlete skate half a lap more, and the other team member can enter the field immediately and wait for the next baton handover. It's just that in this multi-slippery half lap, due to the exertion of physical strength, the speed will definitely be reduced. Therefore, the handover failure of the short track speed skating relay will not be as much as the loss of the track and field relay, but it is inevitable that it will affect the speed.
……
For Coach Choi Kwang-bok, his future is bleak. There were seven gold medals in short track speed skating, none of which were won by South Korea, which is clearly not worthy of the status of the world's strongest short track speed skating country, and it can even be considered the worst defeat in the history of Korean short track speed skating, so someone must be held accountable. This kind of thing will definitely not be punished on the athletes, and Cui Guangfu, who is the head coach, is the first choice to carry the black pot, so Cui Guangfu wrote a letter of resignation and was ready to step down.
"It's always better to resign voluntarily than to be dismissed! Hopefully, the Ice Federation can give me a chance to resign voluntarily for the sake of my many years of service for the national team. Coach Cui Guangfu thought to himself.
At this time, Cui Guangfu's depressed mood also affected his teammates, even Sheng Xibei, who had just won the silver medal, had an indescribable sadness on his face.
The back-to-back defeats have made the South Korean team uninterested in fighting, and at this time, the Korean players would prefer that the game end sooner and let them get out of this damn sad place as soon as possible.
On the side, the Canadian team is scrappy.
The morale of the Canadian team playing at home is high, especially in team sports, and this home advantage is magnified several times.
This is the case with sports, the larger the scale of the sport and the greater the number of participants, the more powerful the home stadium will be. Therefore, it will be easier to give birth to some devil home stadiums in football, and the atmosphere created when tens of thousands of people cheer on the scene will instantly improve the morale of the home players, and will also make the away players feel invisible pressure. This boost to home morale or a reduction in away team pressure can affect 10 players on the court in basketball, 12 in volleyball and 22 in soccer. Occasionally, it will affect one or two coaches who are not mentally good. Therefore, according to this calculation, football should be the sport that is most affected by home and away games.
Of course, there are no wonders in the world, and there will always be some wonders. For example, the 1-0 home defeat to Syria in the midst of the war.
……
Song Weilong was the first player to appear in the national team, his starting skating was the best in the national team, and in fact he did not disappoint Coach Li Bing, after the first corner, Song Weilong successfully won the first place for the national team.
Next, Zhang Guan was scheduled to appear in the second base, followed by Ma Yunfeng, followed by Liu Xianwei. Among them, Ma Yunfeng's strength is 500-meter short track speed skating, and Liu Xianwei can almost be regarded as a full-time relay player, and the two have successfully maintained the advantage of the national team. Canada, the Republic of Korea and the United States followed.
On lap 12, the Korean team took the lead and tried to improve their position through the outside pass, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and then several other teams also launched an offensive, but one athlete only had one and a half to two laps, and with the loss of speed at the handover, it was indeed unrealistic to overtake the front. The positions of several teams have not changed.
At the critical time, Hamelin was powerful, he surpassed Song Weilong on the 24th lap, bringing the Canadian team to the first place, and then Hamelin began to exert force, the speed gradually accelerated, the next stick Hamelin brother, also inherited the strategy of the elder brother, the pace of the game is very fast, obviously the Canadian team likes to slide out of some leads.
On the 30th lap, the Chinese team made a mistake in handing over the bat, and the athlete skated for half a lap before the successful handover, but fortunately, the Korean team also made a mistake in the same lap, so the position between the two teams did not change. It's just that due to the loss of speed, the distance between China and Canada has widened a lot.
It took the national team seven or eight laps and several successful handovers to close in on Canada again, while South Korea's were the opposite, making two handover errors in the process and dropping to fourth. The South Korean team has indeed been greatly affected, and the South Korean team, which has no intention of fighting, has also lost the form of the game.
The game has entered the final stage, and as it stands, South Korea has fallen behind, and the United States has no chance to overtake the front. The Chinese team, which has always held on to the second place, only follows the Canadian team, and if there is no accident, the champion will be born in these two teams.
After 42 laps, the final baton handover was about to begin, with the Canadian team sending Hamelin and the Chinese team sending Zhang Guan, of course.
Zhang Guan and Hamelin ushered in another duel, another duel at peak speed! (To be continued.) )
