The matter of the selection competition was already within Zhang Guan's expectations, and after learning that the selection competition was going to be held, Zhang Guan immediately agreed, and then rushed to the ice training base in the northeast non-stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The national team trains in different events, such as figure skating, which is mainly trained at the Capital Gymnasium in the capital, while short track speed skating athletes train most of the time at the ice training base in the ice city.

Short track speed skating and speed skating are two different events, and they differ in terms of tracks, equipment, rules, and even the details of the skates used. First of all, speed skating uses a track with a circumference of 400 meters, consisting of two straights and two arcs, which is similar to the track and field field when viewed from the inside diameter alone. Short track speed skating, on the other hand, uses a 30-meter by 60-meter course with a lap length of only 111.12 meters, which is much smaller than the speed skating field. Many people refer to speed skating as the "boulevard" and short track speed skating as the "trail".

In terms of rules, speed skating is a separate race, when the competition is in a group of two people, one in the inner lane and one in the outer lane, the start is on the same level, in the area of changing lanes, two athletes have to exchange tracks, that is, the inner lane to the outer lane, the outer lane to the inner track, with this method to ensure that the distance of the two athletes is the same.

Short track speed skating is a non-lane run, and athletes can overtake the former at any time after the start, which is a bit like a middle-distance running race in track and field, but the speed is faster, the venue is smaller, and the spectacle is more exciting.

In terms of sports equipment, the skates of short track speed skating are long and thin, and for the convenience of cornering, the skates are not fixed in the middle of the sole, but have a certain angle of inclination, and generally speaking, the left and right skates are tilted to the left about 15 degrees. Speed skating skates have only one fixed point, which is "slipper-style", and the athlete often leaves the skate blade with his heel in the game; Figure skating skates, on the other hand, have serrated teeth and grooves.

The skates of short track speed skating are very sharp, especially in high-speed sports, the skates can easily cut people's skin, and if they cut the aorta, it is not impossible to cause death. Therefore, athletes should wear protective gear during the competition. Short track speed skaters use protective clothing made of special fibers, the same raw materials as bulletproof vests, and the skates cannot be cut under normal circumstances, and they also wear gloves, neck pads, knee pads, and helmets.

The gloves are also made of special materials, because short track speed skating is a counterclockwise slide, and the athlete must use his left hand to support the ground when cornering, so the fingers of the left hand of the glove are also specially treated.

In order to participate in the trials, Zhang Guan also bought two sets of equipment, the price of the equipment is not cheap, a set of equipment from head to toe will cost more than 200,000, and the equipment of the national team must be customized according to each person's situation, so the price will be higher.

On the plane to the ice city, Zhang Guan seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, but in fact, he was systematically examining his skills in short track speed skating.

This year, Zhang Guan has been participating in Formula 1 racing, and this competition can also earn skill points.

The first player in the qualifying match can get 1 skill point, the champion of the main match can get 1 skill point, and the champion of both the qualifying match and the main match can get an additional skill point, which means that a maximum of 3 skill points can be obtained in a match. It's the equivalent of winning a world championship in athletics. Considering that the threshold for participation in F1 is much more difficult than that of the world-class track and field Grand Prix, Zhang Guan feels that 3 skill points in a racing race is not too much. In this way, Zhang Guan's fourteen victories are only about twenty skill points.

However, starting with a three-game winning streak, each victory will gain an additional skill point, and starting with a five-game winning streak, it will be an additional two skill points, and Zhang Guan has achieved a total of eight consecutive wins and a six-game winning streak, so he has gained an additional 16 skill points. At the same time, he broke Schumacher's record of seven consecutive wins in the season and thirteen wins in the season, and gained 4 skill points each, so Zhang Guan was busy for most of the year and earned more than 40 skill points. This is enough for Zhang Guan to elevate his short track speed skating skills to the master level.

"Skating sprints, skating curve sprints, and skating incomplete sprint activation, these three skills have the same effect as the skills of athletics. Ice and snow tumbler skills, increase the balance of the body in ice and snow sports, the name of this skill is quite nice, learning the master level can increase 100% of the ability to maintain body balance in ice and snow sports, the most afraid of ice and snow sports is falling, you must learn the master level. Skills short track speed skating skills, which are specialized skills in short track speed skating. Short track speed skating hedgehog skills? This is a miracle of short track speed skating! ”

Zhang Guan carefully read the description of this skill, the beginner level can make the opponent's interference ineffective, the intermediate level can bounce the interference to the opponent, and the advanced level can not only invalidate the opponent's interference, but also bounce the interference to the opponent. And the interference referred to here includes the inadvertent touch of the opponent, as well as the deliberate foul.

Short track speed skating is a sport that does not split lanes, and it is normal for athletes to have physical contact during competitions. In middle-distance running in athletics, athletes have occasional physical contact, while in faster short-track speed skating, physical contact can be said to be completely unavoidable.

Physical contact between athletes is clearly defined in the rules, and it is considered a foul to intentionally obstruct, push, pull, hit, or block other athletes with any part of the body. But the situation is ever-changing, everyone is moving at high speeds, and many times the referee needs to watch a slow-motion replay to determine whether a foul has been committed accurately. Sometimes the athlete plays some shady tricks, the range of action is very small or very hidden, and the referee may not be able to see it on the spot.

And some countries will even sacrifice one of them to complete their teammates in order to win. For example, if the South Korean team has more than two players in the final, in order to ensure that they get the final gold medal, they will sacrifice one person to deliberately foul and interfere with the opponent to ensure that the other team wins the gold medal.

Because short track speed skating is fast, a slight push on the shoulder, or a slight pull on the arm, is enough to affect the speed of the opponent and change the outcome of the race. So short track speed skating is not only a competition of technique and speed, sometimes deliberately fouled, but also a way to win.

Zhang Guan's short track speed skating hedgehog skill, after learning the master level, can not only ignore the interference, but also bounce back the opponent's interference, such as the opponent pushing you, you are not affected in any way, but the one who pushes the person falls down. It's really like a hedgehog, don't touch me if it's okay, whoever touches it will get hurt. (To be continued.) )
