Entering the straightline, Varina stepped into his first advantageous area. His pace is getting bigger and his pace is going up a notch. At this time, it was obvious that the distance between him and Deqiong of the fifth lane was getting smaller and smaller, but the frequency of his steps was about the same as that of Deqiong.

The two athletes, Varina is 1.83 meters tall, Deqiong is 1.87 meters tall, Deqiong has an advantage in terms of leg length, it stands to reason that if the two are the same pace frequency, Deqiong should be faster, but now Varina is faster than Deqiong, which shows that Varina's pace is more than a star and a half larger than Deqiong.

"Zhang Guan was about the same speed as me at the start, but his speed in the final sprint was almost comparable to that of a normal 200m sprinter, but he was slower than me between 100m and 300m, and if I want to beat Zhang Guan, I have to accumulate enough advantages in the distance between 100m and 300m. I think Zhang Guan was almost 0.8 seconds behind me in this section of the straight! After entering the corner, he will lead him by 0.8 seconds, so that with an advantage of more than 1.5 seconds, I don't believe he can finally turn the tables! Varina thought as she began to adjust and get ready to enter the next corner.

Varina likes to run at a high speed when he enters the second corner, and his cornering skills are arguably the best in the world, so he must be more advantageous to other athletes when he runs at high speeds in corners as well.

Finally, Varina entered the second corner, and at the same time he used the arc of the corner to observe Zhang Guan, he wanted to see how far behind Zhang Guan was, and estimate how long he would lead.

However, when Varina looked behind him to the left, he saw Zhang Guan preparing to enter the corner.

……

Coach Hart's mind is constantly analyzing the possibilities.

"Why did Zhang Guan use this style of running? He must have known that this would take up more stamina, and that his stamina distribution would be problematic in the second half of the race, so was he ready to give up the 400m race? Coach Hart himself shook his head and dismissed the idea.

"If he gives up the 400m race. It's better to run in the same way as in the last game, and keep running at the same frequency, so that you can retain more stamina. However, he didn't do it, he tried to change his running style after entering the straight, his pace was bigger, indicating that his speed was faster, could it be that Zhang Guan still decided to fight for the 400-meter sprint championship! ”

Coach Hart's face became more and more solemn, world-class athletes will not easily take the initiative to change their technical characteristics. And once it is actively changed, it means that the new technology will inevitably run faster, jump higher, and throw farther......

"Last month, Zhang Guan didn't run like this, could it be that Zhang Guan changed his running style in just one month? The timing is wrong! It's July, and no one is going to change the technology at this time! Hart frowned.

In general, track and field athletes change their techniques, which are carried out in the winter, when there are no athletics competitions, and athletes begin to make changes to the old techniques. New techniques are experimented with, and in May and June, when track and field events begin, athletes test new techniques during competitions. At the same time, it is constantly improving, and in July and August, the new technology will gradually mature, and this is also the period when athletes are more likely to produce good results. Many world records in athletics were set during this period.

In addition, some athletes will choose to change their skills during the recovery period of injury, and most of them are forced to change their skills in order to avoid re-injury. It's good to be able to ensure that your grades don't drop.

Now that we have entered July, and the various track and field schedules of the year are still more than two months away, athletes are not likely to change their skills at this juncture. The schedule is so tight and the competition is so intense, if athletes change their skills at this point in time, it is easy to cause the situation that the new technology is not used well, and the old technology is not used well, which will affect the performance.

……

While Coach Hart was puzzled, Varina had a stiff face.

"I don't seem to be in the lead!" Varina made the most precise judgment with just one glance, and in his experience, he was able to judge the advantages and disadvantages at any point on the track, without having to enter the final straight track.

"What's going on? Zhang Guan changed his running method? Did he accelerate in the straight runway? Varina entered the corner area with a hint of confusion as he began to accelerate.

Rapid acceleration after entering a corner on the straight is a characteristic of Varina's technique. For him, running corners is also very handy, because his cornering skills are also the best in the world.

In the corners, Varina's pace became smaller, but the pace was much faster, so his speed did not decrease as a result. And by the time he slowed down a bit and started to adjust, he was already in the lead.

Varina felt that the bout had entered his own rhythm and that he would start sprinting in the final straight and then use his strong follow-up sprint ability to beat the other athletes.

At this time, the Frenchman De Joan also slowly caught up from behind, and gradually caught up with Varina, and the two were about to enter the final straight runway, and there was a situation of going hand in hand.

De Joan's running style is more special, his first 100 meters are not very fast, the second 100 meters will be accelerated, but not the kind of hard speed, and his fastest stage is the third 100 meters, which also shows that his skills in running corners are good. Few of the world's top athletes run faster than the second 100m, and Dejun is one of them.

"Deqiong's ability to sprint in the final is not weak, although it is not as good as me, but it can also pose a threat to me, I have to speed up!" Varina was already accelerating at this point, making the final sprint.

And at this moment, Varina heard Coach Hart's shout: "Jeremy, do your best, do your best, Zhang is going to catch up!" ”

Varina's heart tightened again, and he remembered the last match in the Golden League, where Zhang Guan overtook him at the last moment.

"Zhang Guan's speed seems to be a little faster than the last time. Has he improved again? I have to do my best, and I must not give Zhang Guanding a chance! Varina stole a glance at Zhang's position, and the steps under his feet were a true reflection of his thoughts.

Compared to the previous race, Zhang Guan's level has really improved, and his performance in the corners is now even better than last month. Sports are like this, beginners always seem to have a more obvious range of progress, maybe a month can have a more obvious progress, and those experienced veteran athletes, after a year and a half of practice, it seems to be at the same level.

Varina was ahead of Dejun and was the first to go into the final straight. Not to be outdone, Dejun began to speed up and prepared to challenge Varina. Dejun, who finished seventh in the 400m final at the Athens Olympics, is the first man in Europe to finish in the 400m, and although he is not as good as Varina, he definitely has the quality to challenge Varina.

However, today Dejun was met by a Varina who was ready to give it his all, so at the beginning of the sprint, Dejun was behind. And that's exactly what happened. Zhang Guan also began to sprint.

Zhang Guan once again showed a speed that did not belong to 400 meters, and the audience was also very cooperative, first with a startled sound, and then a tsunami-like shout.

Video footage of the last Golden League game in Oslo. Varina watched it hundreds of times, and he clearly remembered that when Zhang Guan began to accelerate, the audience let out a cry of surprise, followed by a violent shout. At the time, Varina thought the audience was cheering him on. This time in Paris, Varina heard this reaction from the audience again, and he knew it. This cheer was not for himself, but for Zhang Guan's cheers.

"The final battle is about to begin! I won't lose again! Varina's expression became more and more serious, and the eyes under the sunglasses also exuded a strong fighting spirit and determination to win.

Zhang Guan, who was behind, caught up with the Frenchman Deqiong, and then completed the overtaking in an instant.

"How can it be so fast! That's the speed of a 200-meter athlete! Although Deqiong had watched the video of the race in Oslo and knew that Zhang Guan could play no less than the speed of the 200-meter sprint in the final sprint, Deqiong still couldn't help but be surprised when he encountered this real situation in the same competition.

……

Zhang Guan began to speed up, so fast! Far faster than everyone else! He has overtaken Dejun and is chasing Varina! It's going to catch up! I'm about to catch up! The sound of the live commentary was loud, but it was drowned out by the shouts of the crowd, and the audience stood up and stared at the final straight track with wide eyes, and these few seconds would be the most exciting moment of the whole game.

As Zhang Guan surpassed Deqiong, the cheering in the field was a little higher, and this increasingly high cheering voice was like a talisman in Varina's ears, letting him know that Zhang Guan was getting closer and closer.

"I'm at the limit of my speed and I don't have much stamina left, but the finish line is just around the corner...... Wait a minute, it's not time to let your guard down, as long as you don't cross the finish line, you can't let your guard down, and in the last game, it was because I let my guard down at the last moment that I lost the game! Varina remembered his last defeat again, and with the lessons of the past, he didn't let up at all.

"We're 10 meters from the finish line! Come on, hold on! Varina couldn't help cheering himself on, and at that moment, a figure on his left side was standing alongside him.

"It's Zhang Guan! He's catching up! This scene is so familiar to Varina, and the last ten meters were caught up by Zhang Guan, as if it was a repeat of the previous stop in Oslo.

Once again, the two made the same move to cross the line, when in fact, Zhang Guan was faster than Varina. Then, the two crossed the finish line.

"Like the last game, I lost again, at the last minute! It was overtaken by Zhang Guan in the last five meters! "This repetition of history made Varina feel clearly that the result of the race was the same as the last time in Oslo, and he lost again at the last moment! Maybe it was lost in the last 0.1 seconds.

"I must have run under 44 seconds this time, but I still lost to Zhang Guan! The previous 43.99 seconds was not the limit of Zhang Guan, I still underestimated him too much! Varina set his sights on the scoreboard, he wanted to know the final result.

Varina's final time was 43.82 seconds, his personal best in the race, which was enough to rank in the top 20 of the 400-meter dash.

But this result was not enough for Varina to win, because Zhang Guan was faster than him!

Zhang Guan's time was 43.67 seconds!

This is the 10th best time ever in the 400-meter dash. (To be continued.) )
