As the first person in the swimming world to participate in the track and field competition of the 12th National Games, he also reported 5 track and field events, and broke the national record in the first preliminaries.

Some fans may be accustomed to seeing Duke sign up for more than a dozen swimming events at every turn, and think that how did he sign up for 5 track and field events this time, it's too little, not enough to watch!

In fact, throughout the international field of athletics, from ancient times to the present, no track and field athlete has ever been able to register for 5 events at the same time in an international event.

Awesome figures like Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis have a maximum of 4 events in one event, and the four events of the two of them are exactly the same: 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, 4*100 meters relay.

In the past, the IAAF had restrictions on registration, and in important international competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships, a track and field athlete could only register for a maximum of 3 individual events + 2 relay races.

Only the IAAF has restrictions on registration, and most members of the International Cycling Federation, the International Cycling Federation, the International Shooting Federation, and the International Skating Union (skating) have no restrictions on the number of registered events. Of course, except for a fierce man like Phelps, who can sign up for 8 swimming events at the same time, almost no one else can do it all.

Weightlifting, judo, wrestling, boxing and other fighting confrontation events will be divided into how many kilograms, heavyweights, lightweights and other weight classes, in fact, it also limits the number of entries for a player, but for the sake of fairness, 55kg and 75kg players are completely unable to compete, isn't it?

Until the 2012 London Olympics, the IAAF also implemented the entry limit of 3 individual events + 2 relay events, which is actually against the Olympic spirit.

But the IAAF is just hanging it, Lao Tzu loves to do it, there is a kind of track and field competition that your IOC cancels the Olympic Games, do you dare?

On February 23, 2013, the IAAF held a general meeting at its headquarters in Monaco, at which the IAAF leaders finally made a major decision: from now on, there will be no entry restrictions for any event recognized by the IAAF.

At the same time, it was also decided that starting from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the Olympic A and B standards will be abolished for track and field events, and only one Olympic entry standard will be set up, and athletes who have reached the Olympic qualification standard can participate in the track and field competitions of the Olympic Games.

In fact, it lowered the bar to encourage more athletes to compete in Olympic athletics, and the IAAF has finally gone back to the Olympic sportsmanship of the days when the Games were first created. When Coubertin first created the modern Olympic Games, there was no restriction or restriction at all, and his way was: If you can go to the school, we will all be on it, and everyone will be happy together.

But even if the IAAF lifts the registration restrictions, it is almost impossible for a track and field athlete to register for five individual events at the same time, not because he does not want to take them all, but because he is subject to the physiological limits of human beings.

Except for weirdos like Duke, so it's hard for him to keep a low profile.

It is more common for runners to run 100 meters and 200 meters at the same time, but it is quite scarce to have 400 meters at the same time.

Duke was already standing in front of the start of track 1 to compete in the first group of the men's 400m heats.

In the 100-meter event, the Chinese track and field team has emerged several outstanding male athletes with potential in recent years, such as Zhang, Su, Xie, Mo and other four Peter Pan, including Liang Jiahong, who has just retired.

The distance doubled, 200 meters, and Su Bingtian and Mo Youxue couldn't play.

Doubled again, 400 meters, and the four Peter Pan can't play.

The Chinese men's track and field team can also send several A-standard athletes to participate in the 100-meter and 200-meter events of the London Olympics, especially Su Bingtian, who also broke into the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter run at the London Olympics and almost advanced to the 100-meter final.

In the events with hurdles, the 110-meter hurdles and the 400-meter hurdles, there are also Cheng Wen, Li Zhilong, Xie Wenjun and other players who work hard, and it is very difficult to enter the finals, but they can also go to the Olympics to learn experience.

However, in the running event without hurdles, from 400 meters to 10,000 meters, no Chinese male athlete can make an Olympic A standard to participate in the London Olympics.

400 meters to 10,000 meters, this is the weakest range of Chinese men's track athletes, and the range span is still very large, 400, 800, 1500, 3000, 5000, 10,000, all of which are not good. So this blank space contains huge treasures, waiting for Duke to dig deeper.

In the men's 400m event of the 12th National Games, there are not many powerful athletes, and there are almost no famous ones.

Duke broke the national record of 45.25 seconds in the 400m in the test event, and at this level, his 400m gold medal at the 12th Games was almost certain.

"All in place~" The referee sent a preparation signal at this time, and the first group of the men's 400m preliminaries was about to start.

"Ready~"

"Bang!" The gun goes off and the game begins!

From the viewer's point of view, the eight runners started almost at the same time after hearing the gun, but Doke's 0.105 seconds reaction time was the fastest of the eight, the second fastest reaction time was 0.149 seconds, and the slowest was 0.197 seconds.

It is extremely difficult for the human eye to distinguish a difference of about 0.05-0.1 seconds in starting reactions, but for professional sprinters of 400 meters and below, 0.05-0.1 seconds is a non-negligible advantage.

After taking the first step, Duke immediately cut the wolf into a leopard and entered the acceleration phase after the start of the corner.

After 60 meters, Duke began to reduce the amplitude of the inversion, adjust the body posture, and naturally relaxed and ran for 10 meters, and then suddenly increased again and began to accelerate down the corner.

After breaking out of the first corner with perfect cornering technique, Duke, who gradually straightened up, maintained the speed after the next corner and ran 70 meters, completing the first straight through the first straight smoothly, by which time he had already thrown off the second place by a multi-body.

With the second corner in sight and Douc needing to bend himself again, he continued to pick up speed and entered the acceleration phase of the upper corner.

The 400-meter run involves a full lap around the standard course, from the start of the corner to the final straight line, going through two bends and two straights. The core meaning of the 400-meter run is the lingering between bends and straights.

A good 400-meter runner must do it: when the bend is bent, when it is straight, when it is straight, when it is straight

When Doucle straightened himself for the second time and went into the final straight, his lead was huge, and the second-place finisher hadn't even made it down the corner.

But after 300 meters, Douc was also tired.

The 400m is the most tiring and is considered to be the most difficult to run, because athletes in the 400m run must finish the 400m without oxygen and at high speed in order to do well.

Ogrominkov, a well-known American expert in sprint theory, mentioned in his track and field work: "Athletes whose best time in the 400-meter run is about 45.5 seconds should be between 10.31 and 10.68 seconds in the 100-meter run. ”

This shows that 400-meter runners also need to have a good speed reserve.

It is necessary to reserve speed and physical fitness, because the 400-meter run is a separate lane run, and it also needs curve technology to support the acceleration run and the midway run, so the 400-meter "long-distance" sprint event has extremely demanding requirements for the athlete's body, technique and speed.

One of the best figures in the 400m run is Michael Johnson, who holds the world record of 43.18 seconds, won the gold medal in the 200m at Atlanta '96 and will compete in the final of the 400m in 50 minutes.

After running the 200 meters, Johnson was already tired and lay down, and he only had a 50-minute rest to participate in the 400-meter final.

As a result, the Olympic Organizing Committee and the IAAF immediately changed the schedule, delaying the start of the 400m final by four hours, and then, Johnson, who had enough rest, won the 400m gold medal in one fell swoop.

In the 100-year history of the Olympic Games, only one athlete has won gold medals in both the 200m and 400m at the same Olympic Games, and that is Michael Johnson, thanks to the humane management of the Olympic Organising Committee and the IAAF, as well as the convenience of playing at home.

In September 2013, Duke, who had just finished the 200 meters, took a one-hour break and immediately ran a 400 meter, which of course he would have had a hard time.

The last straight is on, Du Ke is far ahead, and he has directly qualified for the semi-finals as the first in the group.

"To rush or not to rush?"

That's a problem.

No matter how fast you rush, you have already reached the top of the group to win the first place, and you can't grab the 0th place in the group, it seems that there is no need to rush the last few tens of meters.

In a flash of light, Duke made a decision: "Rush! Break another national record, brush 10 points to reward 10 points. ”

The ATP in Duke's body has been depleted, and the levels of lactate in the blood and muscles have begun to increase.

If the human body is a car, ATP is the best gasoline for oil, and it is the most direct power energy for the human body. Lactic acid is a bad thing, the higher the lactic acid content, the more tired the muscles and the slower the running speed.

At this time, Duke can only rely on the energy supply of CP (phosphocreatine) to complete the final stage of high-intensity anaerobic sprint, if the ATP is 95 gasoline, CP is 92 gasoline, the oil is a little worse, make do with it.

When Duke sprinted to 50 meters from the finish line, he turned on the [Fast Frequency Assault], half a step fast is half a step, rush!

He sped up his cadence and sprinted at high speed, rushing out of the highest speed he could currently dash.

Duke was the first to cross the finish line and won the first place in the first group of the men's 400m heats, directly advancing to the 400m semi-finals.

"Ahhhh

"Fierce, hanging, dragging!"

"Oh yes yes bazaar, hey!"

The audience erupted in cheers again.

"Huhu...... Got a play? Duke gasped, and when he heard the cheers of the audience, he knew that he had achieved eighty percent of the results.

Duke turned to look back at the display of the timing device at the end of the track, which showed his 400m heats: 45.23 seconds.

Du Ke, who had just broken the national record in the 200-meter run, set a new national record in the men's 400-meter run with a time of 45.23 seconds one hour later!

Although only two percent faster than the original national record of 45.25 seconds, Du Ke is enough to shake up the Chinese athletic world. He just finished a 200-meter race and only had 1 hour of rest + warm-up, setting a new national record for the men's 400-meter run that has not been refreshed for 12 years, which is not earth-shattering, but it is enough to prove his strength.

On the first day of the athletics competition, Duke broke the national record with two shots, and he became the brightest track and field athlete of the day...... (To be continued.) )
