Chapter 629: Decathlon First Experience

Du Ke called Director Zhao of the Field Management Center: "Leader, I want to return to the team." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Director Zhao was overjoyed: "Okay, Duke, the track and field team welcomes you back at any time!" ā€

Doucle: "I retract what I said and I decided to compete in this year's World Athletics Championships in London. ā€

Director Zhao was happy: "Okay, good, this relationship is good!" Which items do you want to sign up for? ā€

Du Ke: "Just apply for one event, decathlon." ā€

"Oh, decathlon." Director Zhao was a little surprised, and then felt that it was reasonable: "The all-around sport is actually a very influential sport, but my country's men's ten and women's seven are relatively weak. But Duke is different, because you have a lot of strong individual events as the support of all-round events. So, get ready to compete in the National Athletics Grand Prix starting on April 30 and be a decathlon at the World Championships. ā€

Duke: "Okay. ā€

Duke made an early comeback to athletics and competed in the decathlon at the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London.

In fact, Douca has been doing all-around sports, and at the Rio Olympics he played the track and field heptathlon (100m, 200m, 400m, long jump, high jump, javelin).

In swimming, he plays the four swimming styles all-around, and the bicycle is all-round in road races, mountain races, and track races.

And the decathlon can satisfy the desire of a well-rounded athlete to conquer, and it is a well-known all-round event.

The 2017 London Athletics World Championships will be held in London, England on August 4~13 this year, and the deadline for each individual event of the World Athletics Championships is July 1.

The individual results at the Rio Olympics can be carried directly to the World Championships in London, but Duke has not registered for the decathlon before, so he has to participate in the National Athletics Grand Prix at the end of April to make a world decathlon standard. There is no all-around event in the Diamond League, or it would be easier for Duke to go to Huhai Station to brush up on a ticket.

The plan has been decided, let's start to implement it, Du Ke said just do it, and he went to the Nanyue track and field team to report the next day and practice the decathlon.

Because his daughter-in-law was pregnant, Du Ke stayed in the provincial team to train and did not report to the national team for the time being, so that he could go home every day.

The Nanyue track and field team has complete facilities, not much worse than the national training base, and much more complete than Duke's club playground.

Duke bought four basic skills in hurdles, pole vault, shot put, and discus in one go, and officially entered the decathlon.

The hurdles and pole vault techniques are complex, and they need system support to quickly dominate the world.

The shot put is the easiest throwing event to learn, and Duke was able to push more than 10 meters by the time he was in high school.

Almost all middle school students can put the shot put, which is taught by the physical education teacher. Duke doesn't buy the basic shot put skills in the system, he can still push out the standard shot put action. But that's what the system stipulates, it's not expensive anyway, and buying a shot put skill is only 5 bonus points, so it's considered to be paying the toll.

The discus has an extra pre-setting part, which is a little more complicated, but not difficult.

The hammer throw is a little more complicated than the discus, but there is no hammer throw in the decathlon.

The most complex technique in the throwing event is the javelin, two balls and one cake are thrown on the spot, and the shot put is at most a small sliding step, but it cannot slide out of the throwing circle range of more than 2 meters in diameter.

In the five individual events of 100 meters, 400 meters, long jump, high jump, and javelin, Du Ke does not need special training, just familiarize himself with it and find his feelings. The same is true for the 1500m, which Duke had just finished a half-marathon recently.

The focus of training is still hurdles and pole vaulting, after all, the technical requirements are high. Let's practice the shot put and discus properly, and then participate in the National Track and Field Grand Prix first.

Ten individual items were started at the same time, and Duke lived a very fulfilling life, and his life passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, on April 30, Duke came to Sioux City in East China to participate in the National Track and Field Grand Prix.

Today is the day of the final of the World Snooker Championship, Duke did not go to Sheffield to compete, snooker will talk about it later, anyway, the World Snooker Championship is held every year.

The National Athletics Grand Prix is a standard event recognized by the IAAF, and Chinese athletes can register for the World Championships in London if they achieve a standard result in a single event.

The World Championships decathlon achieved 8,000 points.

This score can be ranked 16th in the men's decathlon at the Rio Olympics, which is not low.

So far, only Qi Haifeng in China has scored more than 8,000 points, and 8,000 points have just begun.

The world record in the decathlon is 9,045 points, set by American all-around champion Ashton Eaton at the 2015 World Championships. At last year's Rio Olympics, Eaton successfully defended his Olympic title with 8,893 points.

Eaton announced his retirement on Jan. 5 at the age of 29.

Eaton said he was lonely and invincible, lost his enthusiasm for decathlon, and said that he had brought out the best in human beings and that it was impossible to surpass him, and that it was time to say goodbye to being an athlete and try something new...... This is Eaton's original words, which have been published and reprinted on major websites.

At the beginning of January, Su Yun was just diagnosed as pregnant, and Du Ke was immersed in the joy of being a father, and he had no time to deal with Eton during that time.

Looking back at Eaton's retirement declaration now, Duke feels a little unhappy, Eaton, how dare you say that you have stimulated the potential of human beings to the extreme? Invincible, empty and lonely, impossible to surpass yourself? I didn't dare to say that, you are pretending to be so forced?

9045 points, far from the limit of human beings!

On the morning of April 30, the men's decathlon 100-meter run of the National Track and Field Grand Prix began.

Known as the "King of Athletics", the men's decathlon is one of the toughest events in athletics, with competitors competing in 10 events over two days.

Day 1: 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m.

Day 2: 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500m.

The 10 track and field events will be competed in the same order as described above.

The decathlon is unique in that its final result is not hours, minutes, seconds, meters, but points.

The decathlon has ten score sheets, one for each individual event, which is updated every year and is used all over the world.

The updated data depends on the average result of the previous year in each individual event, the world record result, and the possible new world record result.

The National Athletics Grand Prix is about to begin with the 100m run, the first event in the decathlon, and in the 2017 edition of the decathlon 100m score sheet, each result corresponds to a score.

13.20 seconds, corresponding to 434 minutes.

12.19 seconds, corresponding to 614 minutes.

11.01 seconds, corresponding to 858 minutes.

10.50 seconds, corresponding to 975 minutes.

10 seconds, corresponding to 1096 points.

9.70 seconds, corresponding to 1172 minutes.

9.52 seconds, corresponding to 1218 minutes.

9.39 seconds, corresponding to 1335 minutes.

9.30 seconds, corresponding to 1376 minutes.

Several corresponding values were randomly selected, and it was difficult for anyone other than the person who edited the table to know the regularity.

All in all, the decathlon scoring system is an extremely large and complex project, and the decathlon athletes, including Duke, cannot figure out the specific generation principle of this table, and the athletes do not need to understand it thoroughly, just do it against the table.

The extreme value of the 100m is 9.30 seconds (1376 points), which is the limit of human sprint speed estimated by the IAAF in 2017.

Eaton holds the world record of 9,045 points, divided by 10 to average, and can score more than 900 points in each individual event, which is a very high all-rounder.

However, an all-round king like Eaton is actually not really proficient in everything, he is strong in running and jumping, weak in throwing, and basically can't score more than 800 points in the three throwing events, and has been more than 700 points for a long time.

Eaton has dominated the all-around world for so many years, relying on the 100m, 400m, 110m hurdles, long jump these strong individual events, in the past two years, his pole vault strength has also improved significantly, and he can get more than 900 points without scoring 1000 points.

The best time in the 100m of the decathlon at the Rio Olympics was 10.30 seconds run by Canada's Warner, who scored 1,023 points.

If a decathlon can score 1000+ points in a single event, that's amazing.

Warner, an all-rounder, can run 100 meters to 10.30 seconds, and there are few professional men's 100-meter runners in China who can run within 10.30 seconds.

Bang!

The first group of the decathlon 100m began, and the best time of the eight in this group was 11.52 seconds, with a score of 748 points.

After Qi Haifeng faded out of the rivers and lakes, it is now difficult for all of China to find a 7500-level men's all-round player. Chinese all-rounders are weak around the world.

This is also one of the reasons why Duke wants to challenge the decathlon, there is such an all-round demon king at home, wouldn't it be tyrannical not to participate in the all-around event?

Doucle was on the starting track, and the second group of the 100m was about to fire.

The 100m in the decathlon is no different from the 100m run.

The 18 all-rounders were divided into two groups of 9 people, each running one shot. The number of seconds you run can get 100 meters of points corresponding to that number of seconds.

Bang!

The second set of matches begins.

Duke left all his opponents behind him in less than 20 meters after the start, and Bolt couldn't beat him, and the domestic all-rounders couldn't play happily with him in the 100m individual event.

Du Ke was nearly 20 meters ahead of the second-place boy and crossed the line first, and the few spectators at the scene thought they were dazzled: "Is this a 100-meter race, or 10,000 meters!?" ā€

9.62 seconds, this is Doucle's 100-meter time, scoring 1192 points.

"Hahaha!" Director Zhao, who was watching the game on the rostrum, looked up to the sky and laughed very heartily: "In 9.62 seconds, Du Ke participated in the first shot of the decathlon and crushed Eaton!" ā€

There are also individual records in the decathlon, with the 100m record in the decathlon being held by Eaton in 10.23 seconds. Of course, this 10.23 seconds is different from the 100-meter world record of 9.39 seconds held by Du Ke.

In the 100m, the first event of the decathlon, Du Ke ran 9.62 seconds.

The ancient pentathlon was held at the ancient Olympic Games, which began in 776 BC.

And Duke is the first person to run under 10 seconds in the 100-meter event of the decathlon in the 100-year history of the modern all-around event.

However, Du Ke feels that this is not worth showing off, and there are 9 more projects to come. (To be continued.) )
