Chapter 036: Encountering Little Fresh Meat
The men's and women's 100m events continued, interspersed with 50m heats.
Today we will finish the heats of these events, and tomorrow we will have the finals of the 100m and 50m.
There are only freestyle in the 50-meter and many events in the 100-meter, and there are four major swimming styles.
The 50 meters and 100 meters in the swimming competition are equivalent to the 100 meters and 200 meters in track and field running, which are short distance races. One of the most important qualities for a player in sprint racing is explosiveness.
The Chinese swimming team won five gold medals at the London Olympics held in late July and early August this year, including two gold medals in the 200m, two gold medals in the 400m and one gold medal in the 1500m. 200 meters is the short and middle distance, 400 meters is the middle distance and 1500 meters is the longest distance in the pool (10 km marathon swim takes place outdoors).
Although athletes in various sports in China are also improving their physical fitness through advanced training methods and reasonable athlete diets, it is undeniable that there is still a certain gap between the average physical fitness of yellow Asians and whites in Europe, America and Australia. You're eating and practicing, and the white people aren't left behind.
So in the sprint swimming competition, which values physical fitness and explosiveness, the world is still white people's world. In fact, the explosiveness of blacks is better, and the Arabs are not bad, but these two types of people are basically not seen in swimming competitions, and this phenomenon will be analyzed and interpreted in subsequent international competition reports.
China has made a breakthrough in the middle and long distance events of swimming, but there has not been any fierce competition in the short distance competition. Because of the scarcity, it is precious, and the sprint competitors are considered to be the fastest swimmers, and everyone hopes that the Chinese swimming world can produce a small steel cannon for a speedboat.
In the quarterfinals of the men's 100m freestyle, Duke retained a little bit of strength, winning the first place in the group with a time of 49.25 seconds and entering the semifinals.
Because of Sun Yang's popularity, it has also inspired the Chinese male swimmers to make contributions, and the good men in the Chinese swimming world strive to change the phenomenon of yin and yang decline that has lasted for many years. The men's team is working towards a beautiful spring where a hundred flowers are blooming.
However, in the men's 100-meter freestyle, including the 50-meter freestyle, it is considered a long-term weakness of the Chinese team, and there are only one or two good players, and the gap between the first and third is relatively large.
At 7 p.m., Ducobi finished the semifinals of the 100 free, won the group again, and entered the final.
After going ashore, Du Ke went to the referee area to sign and confirm the entry of the finals.
After finishing the work, Duke was ready to withdraw, and today's game tasks were all over. At this time, a young man of more than 1.9 meters came up behind Du Ke, he patted Du Ke's shoulder, and greeted him very generously: "Hey, brother, you are very fierce, learn from you." ”
Duke turned his head and looked at this big, very sunny handsome guy, he felt familiar: "Oh, learn from each other, you are ...... yes, I remember, we met in the quarter-finals, right? ”
"Isn't it, you're in lane 4 and I'm in lane 3 next to you, and you beat me off to top the group and reach the semi-finals. Thankfully, I finished second in my group and reached the semi-finals. The big young man said, and then he introduced himself: "PLA Navy Swimming Team, Ning Zetao." ”
"Hey, Navy." Du Ke was a little surprised, "You Marines like you also go to freshwater to compete with us ordinary people for jobs?" ”
Ning Zetao: "Hehe, my brother laughed. ”
Du Ke also introduced himself after laughing: "Nanyue team, Du Ke, give me a lot of advice." ”
Ning Zetao nodded: "Well, you know, you won the championship of 400 yesterday." In the 100 semi-finals, I was in the first group and finished before you. After the incident, I watched your group's game on the shore, your explosiveness is very strong, and your water and turning skills are also very distinctive, can you ask for advice? ”
Du Ke asked rhetorically: "What project are you working on?" ”
Ning Zetao: "I used to practice medley, I was injured at the beginning of last year, and I recuperated for more than half a year, and after recovering from the injury, I mainly focused on short-distance freestyle events such as 50 meters and 100 meters. ”
"I don't dare to ask for advice, I think we are about the same age, let's learn from each other and make progress together." "Actually, I can't talk about anything distinctive, sprint freestyle, the trick to get results: treat every race as if it were the last game of your career, and rush to the death!" ”
"That's it." Ning Zetao also agreed with Du Ke's remarks, and then asked for advice more respectfully: "But what you said is a summary of the ideological level, what I want to ask is the details of actual combat, how to effectively improve the performance through the improvement of technical details?" ”
Du Ke asked again: "Don't you have a coach in your team?" ”
"Hey, hey." Ning Zetao scratched his head, "The systematic teaching mode of the army athletes is similar to training new soldiers, it has been a set of methods for many years, and there is nothing new." The teaching method of our coaches is very simple, you can swim for me, if you can't reach the standard, you will kick, and those who can go out to participate in the competition are the most kicked. ”
"There are no new tricks in the army, what we soldiers have to do is to repeat the hard training and practice the same set of actions repeatedly, so as to achieve the effect of bombing fighters with millet plus rifles. Hehe, it's a bit of an exaggeration, that's what it means anyway. ”
"You must know that the individual combat ability of Chinese soldiers is very prominent, and we will not necessarily lose to foreign soldiers with old weapons from 30 years ago. But I'm going to have a hard time competing and I want to learn how to use a new weapon. Duke Duke, I'm very humble to ask you for advice, if it's convenient for you, you can guide me, of course, I also know the rules, if it's inconvenient, we're friends, right? ”
Ning Ze chatted a lot of words, and the character of this military player was more cheerful. Duke was not disgusted with this tall and handsome colleague, and said: "I can only talk about my own experience, you can listen to it." My usual shore training is mainly to train the explosive power of the legs, relying on the strong explosive power of the legs, which is helpful for taking off and jumping, turning and kicking the wall. The mainstream kick rhythm of 100 and 50 meters is 6 times, but I think there is still room for improvement, and 8 or 10 high-frequency kicks are not impossible. The above remarks are for reference only, and I am not responsible if I hit the street. ”
Ning Zetao listened very seriously, he was thoughtful, as if he had realized something.
"Thank you, Du Ke, listening to your words, the mouth suddenly opened. Not only do you have deep strength, but you also have a broad mind. Ning Zetao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake hands, "I forgot to say, I also entered the final of the 100 self, and we can compete in the pool again tomorrow." ”
Du Ke shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Ah Tao, I just say that you believe it too?" Okay, you'll be able to do it yourself. I wish you the best of luck in the sprint in the future. ”
After a few words of greeting, the two said goodbye and went back to their respective teams.
A few years later, Ning Zetao really became a generation of celebrities, and he achieved breakthrough results for Chinese men's athletes in the 50m and 100m freestyle events. After becoming famous, Ning Zetao thanked a bunch of characters in his championship speech, including Du Ke. This time I will not list it for the time being, and I will explain it in detail in subsequent reports.
