The qualifying rounds for the long jump continue.

The athlete who appeared after Zhang Guan completed his first jump very nonexistently. The dance was very good, and the results were okay, but there were no cheers, no shouts, and even encouraging applause in the field, and everyone was still talking about the 8 that Zhang Guan had just made. 05 meters.

In general world-class competitions, such as the World Athletics Championships, you can jump 8 meters in the qualifying round to reach the final, and in the Olympic Games, you can jump 8 meters to reach the final.

In recent years, the highest level of long jump in the Olympic Games has been the Athens Olympics, and the lowest score in the Athens Olympic qualification round is 8. 05 meters. Therefore, Zhang Guan's jump, even if it is placed in the Athens Olympics, can enter the finals, and in this National Track and Field Championships, it can be said that he has entered the finals.

The qualifying round of the long jump has just started less than 20 minutes, and there is a steady entry into the finals, which is equivalent to one less place in the finals, which makes the athletes who have played or have not yet played feel the pressure, and there are several athletes who choose a more unrestrained jump, hoping to fight for a better result, some people have achieved results, and some people have failed, but overall, the athletes' results have improved.

After the first round of jumps, the second round of the competition will begin.

Zhang Guan, on the other hand, directly chose to forgo the second and third rounds. This situation is often seen in the qualifying competitions of the long jump and triple jump, where the big-name athletes only make one or two jumps, and then stop jumping when they are satisfied with the results. One is to preserve strength, and the other is to avoid injury.

In the end, Zhang Guan undoubtedly entered the final with the first place in Group A, and in the subsequent qualifying Group B competition, no athlete could surpass Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan finally entered the final with the first overall score.

In a few hours, as night progresses, the 800-meter heats will begin.

The mid-run event is obviously not as hot as the sprint event. There were also far fewer athletes, with only three groups of athletes competing in the preliminaries, with the top two finishers in each group plus the two best third-place finishers advancing to the 800m final the following day.

Since this is the first time Zhang Guan has appeared in the 800-meter race, the preliminary round of the 800-meter has become a major attraction of today's competition.

The starting position of 800 meters is about the opposite corner of the starting line of the 200-meter sprint, the distance between athletes is the same as that of 200 meters, the first 100 meters are run in separate lanes, athletes have to run a corner in their own track after starting, and then after entering the straight track, after passing the mark of the rush line, the athletes on the outer road can go to the inside to grab the inner lane.

In terms of athlete starts. There is no starting point for 800 meters, so there is no need for a squat start, so athletes often choose a half-squat start.

Although Zhang Guan participated in the 800-meter race for the first time, no one would underestimate him, because Zhang Guan is the world champion in the 400-meter run, and his 400-meter level is several grades worse than that of domestic athletes.

The 400-meter run and the 800-meter run have a lot in common, and the 400-meter run is recognized as the most difficult track and field running event. So everybody thinks. With Zhang Guan's 400-meter level, it is still easy to win a medal in the domestic 800-meter competition.

As if to take care of Zhang Guan, the organizing committee arranged the first and innermost runway for Zhang Guan. Let Zhang Guan save the trouble of grabbing the road, Zhang Guan only needs to pay attention not to collide with other athletes who are rushing inside from the outside.

The half-squat start made Zhang Guan a little uncomfortable, he has been practicing track and field for more than three years, and he has been training for sprint events. The squat start was also used, and without the starting gear, the starting posture was suddenly changed. made Zhang Guan feel a little unable to find the game.

"Ready, ready to ......"

Zhang Guan heard the long-lost Chinese command, which made him feel like he had traveled back in time to two years ago. But then the gunshot rang out immediately, and Zhang Guan couldn't care about emotion, and quickly rushed out of the starting line.

The first 100 meters are the lane separation in the corner, and because the competition has just begun, the athletes' physical strength is relatively abundant, everyone's speed is relatively fast, and due to the problem of grabbing the road later, many athletes on the outer road will deliberately run the first 100 meters faster, so that the rear is facing inward and merging.

Zhang Guan directly activated the skill of incomplete sprint, Zhang Guan felt that if it was a direct sprint in the corner, the physical consumption would be relatively large, and there were still 700 meters to run behind, so he could save a little more physical strength, so he chose to activate the incomplete sprint, but even so, Zhang Guan's speed in the first 100-meter corner was still the fastest.

Zhang Guan's own speed is much faster than other domestic athletes, Zhang Guan usually runs 400 meters in a state of incomplete sprint, in this state of running the first 100 meters of the curve can run into 11. In less than 5 seconds, this is the world's top 400-meter starting corner.

But now it is an 800-meter run, and athletes cannot have the speed of a 400-meter sport, and the level of domestic athletes is far from the world's top.

"Zhang Guan is running so fast!"

"How? Did he forget about it and ran the 800 meters? Why do you still use the 400-meter running method! We didn't run that fast in the 400 meters. ”

"The innermost runway, and you don't need to cut the road, as for running so fiercely!"

"It's worthy of Zhang Guan, running 800 meters so fast."

Everyone whispered about it, and Director Ma, Director Yu and others sitting on the rostrum also had the same expressions of watching the play, but Coach Zhou's face was depressed and embarrassed.

"Zhang Guan, this kid shouldn't have really run 800 meters! How can you come up and run so fast, you won't be able to run after a while! Does this kid want to take the lead? Coach Zhou thought silently.

After crossing the rush line, the athletes began to merge to the inside, in fact, the merging is a process that affects the speed, especially the athletes who are closer to the outside of the track, he should be more careful not to collide with others, and in some of the world's top competitions, the outermost athletes may run to the end of the straight track after completing the merger.

Generally speaking, when an athlete moves to the innermost track, the merge is completed, and a track is actually quite wide enough to accommodate two runners running side by side, but the athlete on the outside may need to run a little more distance.

Zhang Guan was too fast in front of him, and when he crossed the rush line, he found that the other athletes had been left behind by him.

"There's no one in front of me, so it's useless for me to follow. This will not work, and it will not be able to take the lead. Zhang Guan immediately unloaded his sprinting skills, and his speed slowed down instantly.

Zhang Guan, who has no sprint skills, has the speed of a normal athlete, and has continuously strengthened his body with physical fitness skills in the past two years, coupled with regular training, Zhang Guan is still a relatively strong athlete, and his speed is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, but compared to the previous perverted speed, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

"Ah, Zhang Guan is slow! So much slower all at once! ”

"It seems that he also realized that he was rushing too hard at first!"

"I thought he was going to take the lead! Turns out it's not! ”

"Leading? How tiring it is, Zhang Guan ran 800 meters for the first time, and he will definitely not lead the way! ”

The crowd of spectators began to talk, and the other seven athletes in the arena were also stunned.

"Zhang Guan is slow, so slow all at once! I thought you were going to rush to the finish line so fast, and I jumped off! The athlete thought as he chased after him.

Zhang Guan slowed down, and several athletes who were preparing to merge inward were overjoyed, and they immediately began to accelerate, hoping to overtake Zhang Guan and then occupy the inside and run to a better position.

In the competition, some athletes sometimes choose to lead in order to occupy a better position.

The lead in the long and middle runs is different.

In long-distance running, the leader is tragic nine times out of ten, the leader consumes a lot of physical strength, and the athletes do not want to lead, so there is often a situation where everyone is slower and slower, and the organizers sometimes spend money to hire the leader, commonly known as the "rabbit", who is responsible for leading professionally to improve the performance of athletes. So the "rabbit" usually runs faster, but gives up in the second half of the race.

In a race without a "rabbit", a long-distance running powerhouse such as Ethiopia has an advantage, and many of their athletes can adopt the tactics of alternating leaders to control the pace of the race, and even sometimes use the "three guarantees and one" gold medal winning tactics, one person goes to the gold medal, and the other two people are dedicated to causing trouble for the opponent.

Obviously, there will be no "rabbits" in the middle distance race, and the lead in the middle run is actually a double-edged sword. The leader of the middle run will also consume more energy, but can control the pace of the race, the leader can run at his own pace, and the person behind needs to be forced to adapt to the rhythm of the leader. Some powerful frontrunners, directly leading to the finish line are also common in middle-distance races.

On the field, Zhang Guan slowed down, and immediately a frontrunner ran at the front. Zhang Guangang wanted to speed up and keep up, but another athlete was inserted in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, let's run ahead!" Zhang Guan pasted the runner in second place in front of him and began to use the skill of following running.

In the 800-meter run, the athletes actually can't pull any distance before the sprint, everyone is in a unified group, and the second place is almost close to the second place, while Zhang Guan is following behind, and the speed and rhythm are exactly the same as the second place who was followed by him.

"Follow the run, save 50% of your physical strength, it's really easy!" Zhang Guan looked a little proud. (To be continued.) )
