At the post-match press conference, Zhang Guan was still the biggest focus of media attention, and some reporters asked about the IAAF Golden League in a few months.

"In this year's IAAF Golden League, there is a men's 400m sprint event, will you participate?" The reporter asked very bluntly.

Zhang Guan didn't think about it, but said directly: "Of course I will participate, the 400-meter sprint event is very interesting, I like it very much." ”

"So does that mean you won't be able to compete in the 100-meter dash?" Another reporter asked.

"Of course not!" Zhang Guan said decisively: "Of course I want to participate in the 100 meters, and I also want to participate in the 400 meters." ”

"You're going to do two programs at the same time?" The reporters were immediately interested, and the frequency of the flashing lights instantly increased.

"I don't think there have been any athletes who have competed in two Golden League events at the same time. So I don't know if I win six in a row in both projects, then when it comes to the final million-dollar jackpot, it will be counted according to one head or two heads! Zhang Guan said with a smile.

The reporters below the "uproar ......" suddenly fell into a brief commotion.

In the Golden League, it is so difficult to win six consecutive championships in one event, and Zhang Guan has to win six consecutive championships in two events at the same time, which is simply an impossible task. Perhaps in the 100m event, Zhang Guan has unparalleled dominance and can be able to win the final gold medal, but in the 400m event, Zhang Guan is just a newcomer.

In addition to Varina, the United States team has four or five of the world's top powerhouses, and the level of the Jamaican team's 400-meter sprinters should not be underestimated, and France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Cuba and the Bahamas in the Americas also have some strong 400-meter runners.

"Zhang Guan is too arrogant! Participated in two projects at the same time, and even won the gold award in both projects. ”

"With six consecutive wins in two events, it's simply not possible! Unless he's Superman. ”

"Have you forgotten? During the Athens Olympics the year before last, Zhang Guan was still a nobody, and he began to claim that he could win the Olympic championship, and he also spent a lot of money to buy him to win! Maybe he can do it. ”

"The Olympics are just one event, but this time it's two events, not to mention six races, and the whole competition is close to three months."

Not far away, Director Yu heard Zhang Guan's answer and quietly wiped his sweat, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

"Zhang Guan, this kid. Give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, this momentum is coming up again! Tell the propaganda side, don't broadcast this paragraph! ”

……

With Gatlin's ban, the massive doping scandal in the United States has come to an end temporarily, and track and field athletes have already resumed normal training.

The United States is undoubtedly the world's best track and field, and the 400-meter dash is the strongest event in American track and field, since the 80s of the last century, the American Busch Reynolds and Quincy Watts have dominated the 400-meter sprint event, and later there is a legendary flying man like Michael Johnson. The 10 fastest results in the 400m are currently available. Eight of them were created by Michael Johnson. For Americans, the United States has won three Olympic medals in the 400-meter dash with gold, silver and bronze medals.

Today, Team USA's young sport continues the 400m tradition of its predecessors, and has produced some of the world's top 400m sprinters such as Otis Harris, Derek Blue, Angelo Taylor, and LaSean Merritt. And the strongest of them is the current 400-meter No. 1 flyer, known as "Sunglasses Flyer" and "White Forrest Gump", Jeremy Varina.

Jeremy Varina won the 400m dash at the Athens Olympics with a time of 44 seconds, and in 2005 he also won the 400m dash at the World Athletics Championships and the 400m at the Golden League Zurich station. However, not every event in the 2005 Golden League featured a 400-meter dash, so Varina had no chance of challenging for the final gold prize, or Zhang Guan would have another competitor.

And since 2005. Jerim Varina was also at his peak, having matured in 2006 and then being the absolute king of the 400m dash until 2008.

In the indoor training hall, Varina is doing strength training.

Varina's coach, Hart, walked over and said, "Jeremy, I found a very interesting video of the game here, I think you should take a look." ”

"Which event is the match video? When is the competition? Varina asked.

"Just finished the World Indoor Athletics Championships, the final of the 400m." Hart went on to say: "Both Campbell and Merritt are in this game. However, they did not win a medal in the 4x400m. ”

"Francico is also participating in today's Indoor Athletics Championships! His strength is still very strong, although he is more inclined to run in the early stage, but Campbell can't beat him, let alone Merritt, in our American team, I should be the only one who can win Francico. And Otis, it's a pity that he was injured. ”

Otis is the American Otis Harris, who won silver in the men's 400m at the Athens Olympics, just 0.16 seconds slower than Varina. Harris, who was unknown until 2003, began to rise to prominence in 2004, making a splash at the Athens Olympics as the second largest U.S. athlete in the 400m after Varina. However, he has been plagued by injuries in the latest game, and his strength has declined.

Coach Hart continued: "But the 400m champion this time was not Francico. ”

"Not Francico? Who's that? Is there a new person out of nowhere? Varina asked curiously.

"It's someone you know but you can't think of." Hart paused, then said, "Okay, let's not guess with you, I'll tell you!" The 400m champion of this indoor track and field championship is Zhang Guan! ”

"Zhang Guan? World record holder in the 100m? He also ran 400 meters? Varina was even more surprised.

"Yes, that's him!" Hart nodded, and continued: "Actually, when he was an East Asian athlete last year, he already participated in the 400-meter dash and broke the Asian record. ”

"What is the Asian record for the 400m?" Varina asked.

The Asian record at the time was 44.56 seconds. And Zhang Guan broke the world record with a time of 44.50 seconds at that time! ”

"44.50 seconds? So fast! Varina was taken aback again.

In fact, for Varina, 44.50 seconds can only be regarded as a relatively good normal time, but to Varina's surprise, Zhang Guan can make such a fast result. Zhang Guan is an athlete in the 100-meter sprint, and the 100-meter dash and the 400-meter dash can be said to be two different events, and a special athlete who is not practicing 400 meters can run in 45 seconds is definitely a very remarkable achievement.

Zhang Guan ran another 45 seconds in this indoor track and field competition. Coach Hart looked at Varina and continued: "And he also announced at the post-race press conference that he will compete in both the 100m and 400m events in the Golden League. ”

"What? He's going to be competing in two events at the same time! Varina burst out laughing, and then said, "Looks like I'm going to have another opponent!" Coach, let me see the video of Zhang Guan's game! ”

……

in the lounge. Hart showed Varina a video of Zhang's fight.

"It is! How is this possible? The final sprint so fast? How did he do it in his final 100 meters to under 11 seconds, and possibly even 10.50 seconds? Varina had a shocked look on her face.

"Well, it's a fun video of the game! When I first saw it, I was just as surprised as you are. Hart continued: "So I specifically analyzed the video of this race, and Zhang Guan maintained almost the same frequency in the first 300 meters, as if it were as accurate as a machine. His speed in the first 100 meters was actually about the same as in the third 100 meters, and in the second 100 meters, due to the straight. The pace is slightly faster, but the pace frequency has not changed. ”

"That means he's slower in the third 100m, so he's behind heading into the final straight." Varina immediately concluded.

"Yes. But his speed in the final sprint can completely catch up the time behind in front of him, and even complete the overtake. Front hold frequency. The final sprint, which is the same retro running as it was decades ago. Hart's voice changed: "But I'm sure it's definitely not a retro way of running, but a completely new way of running. ”

Varina was silent for more than a dozen seconds. Then he said: "Coach, I definitely can't do this kind of running." I don't think anyone else can do it either. Zhang Guan's final sprint speed can only be achieved with abundant physical strength, and he is not slow to run in front, which also requires physical strength, which is a running style that completely relies on physical strength to overwhelm opponents. But this kind of running method is very unscientific, if you have so much physical strength, you can run faster by using the more mainstream running method now. ”

Hart smiled and released the next video.

"Morris Green? And Zhang Guan? Is this the 100m at the Athens Olympics? Varina asked.

"Yes, it's the semi-finals of the 100m at the Athens Olympics." Hart pointed to the picture, and then said: "Do you see, Zhang Guan was in a very poor state when he left the game, he consumed a lot of physical strength, but he ...... in the final"

Hart said as he played a video of the Olympic men's 100m final.

"Do you understand? Zhang Guan is an absolute advantage to win the championship! He seems to have fully recovered his strength, and he is better than the semi-finals. Hart paused the video and continued, "I'm sure Zhang Guan has a special method of utilizing and recovering his physical strength, or that he has a special physique like a monster. Jeremy, I want to tell you that you may be facing a physical monster in the next Golden League! ”

"So what? Even if it's Hulk, I can defeat him! Varina said firmly. (To be continued.) )
