"Audience friends, the upcoming men's 400m preliminaries, this is Zhang Guan's third appearance this morning!" The commentator continued: "There are two other international players in the same group as Zhang Guan, Mark from Australia and Hiroyuki Nakano from Japan. In the 400-meter sprint event, the Olympic A standard is 45.55 seconds, while the Olympic B standard is 45.95 seconds, which is far from the 400-meter world record of 43.16 seconds held by Zhang Guan. ”

The commentator no longer mentions reaching the Olympic A standard, but only says "Olympic standard results", which is obviously not as optimistic about Zhang Guan as he was just now.

At the starting line, Zhang Guan didn't pay much attention to the two foreign athletes, Mark and Hiroyuki Nakano. Zhang Guan has never heard the names of these two athletes, so he must not be a powerful big-name player, and Zhang Guan has no need to be wary of them.

Compared with some European and American countries, Australia is not a track and field powerhouse, and in sprinting, Australia's white race has no advantage. Mark, an Australian second-tier player, is similar to the Japanese even in Asia.

As for Japan, Japan's 400-meter run in the past two years has basically been in a semi-wasted state, and the running method used by Zhang Guan when he participated in the 400-meter race for the first time in the East Asian Games was regarded as a new running method adapted to the Asian physique by the head coach of the Japanese team, Kobayashi Keikazu, so Kobayashi Keiwa has been conducting similar training for Japanese athletes in the past two years. However, the Japanese athletes do not have Zhang Guan's "incomplete sprint" skills, so even if the athletes practice very hard, they still can't reach Zhang Guan's level, but instead practice the 400-meter event of the Japanese track and field team in a nondescript manner.

As the starting gun sounded, the game officially began.

Australia's Mark is leading the way, and his mind is now full of ideas to beat Zhang Guan, and he is running with extra energy. Japan's Hiroyuki Nakano didn't run too fast at the beginning, he was learning Zhang Guan's kind of uniform speed in front. A running style that sprints fiercely at the end.

Zhang Guan is still in a state of "incomplete sprint", so the speed is also not very fast. As for the other domestic runners, they also choose the running style they are better at.

Entering the straight, Mark began to accelerate, and at the end of the straight, he looked at the distance from the other competitors and found that he was in the lead, leaving the other seven men, including Zhang Guan, behind in terms of the distance he had run.

"Take the lead, just run. The first place in the group is mine! Mark was overjoyed, and then thought: "Zhang Guan is really not good, farewell to the track and field competition for nearly a year and a half, how much more state can you have?" It's amazing to beat the 400m world record holder! ”

At this time, Mark was already a little carried away by the victory, and he forgot that Zhang Guan's strongest point in the 400m was the final sprint.

In the surrounding stands, some spectators found that Zhang Guan's position was relatively backward, and they also looked very anxious, in the eyes of many people. Zhang Guan, the 400m world record holder, should have been leading all the way in a race at this level, and it is clear that Australia's Mark is a bit higher up the line.

"What's wrong with Zhang Guan? He seems to be in a backward position! ”

"I told you a long time ago that Zhang Guan's state has not recovered at all. Still counting on him to win gold at the Olympics? Let's run into the Olympic A standard first! ”

"What are you in a hurry, don't forget that the strongest place for Zhang Guan to run 400 meters is the final sprint!" Someone reminded, and this reminder also rekindled the hope of many viewers around.

At this point, the athletes on the field are about to turn into the final straight track. There are several people who have already started to accelerate, or have simply started to accelerate, in preparation for the final stage of the sprint.

Mark was the first to enter the straight runway. He looked ahead at the finish line and felt that the first place in the preliminaries was within reach.

"The end is just around the corner, rush to it with all your might!" Mark picked up his speed to the limit and charged towards the finish.

But in the next second, a figure suddenly flew past Mark.

"It's Zhang Guan!"

It was at this moment that the audience erupted in earth-shattering shouts.

"Zhang Guan's sprint speed is so fast! By the way, I remembered that his sprint, his strongest point in the 400m was the final sprint...... "Mark suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he just cared about Zhang Guan falling all the way behind, but forgot Zhang Guan's ability to sprint at the end.

Mark watched Zhang Guan run faster and faster, and the gap between the two sides became bigger and bigger, and then he realized how ridiculous his idea was just now. Zhang Guanhe himself is not a unified level athlete at all, even if he is not in good shape, but it is still not within his reach.

"Zhang Guanyue went over, came to the first position, he was still accelerating, the end is coming, cross the line! We congratulate Zhang Guan for winning the first place in the group! The narrator roared.

In the cheers of the audience, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line.

"Zhang Guan is the first to cross the line, look at the time! Did you meet the Olympic A standard? ”

"43.93 seconds! Zhang Guan's time was 43.93 seconds, which was less than 44 seconds! ”

"The Olympic A standard of the 400m is 45.55 seconds, Zhang Guan exceeds the Olympic A standard by so much!"

"A time of less than 44 seconds, that's enough time to win the world championship!"

"See, Zhang Guan's state is absolutely no problem, and he easily ran into 44 seconds in 400 meters!"

The direction of the audience's discussion changed in an instant, and the people who were still questioning Zhang Guan's state also shut up at this moment.

In addition to Zhang Guan, only Jeremy Variner can still achieve a time of 44 seconds, and this result can be won in any world-class competition.

And now it is only the 400m preliminary race, and the results of the preliminary round are definitely not as good as the final, Zhang Guan was able to run within 44 seconds in the preliminary race, which is enough to prove that he is still the world's top in the 400m event.

……

The morning session was over, with Zhang Guan competing in three events and winning two Olympic A medals, followed by an afternoon without competition, and the next stage of competition will start at 19:00 in the evening.

In the evening race, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 100-meter preliminaries, because Zhang Guan became famous for the 100-meter sprint, so this race is also scheduled at 19:30 prime time, and will be broadcast live to the national audience through the sports channel.

So for those viewers in front of the TV, this game can be regarded as Zhang Guan's comeback battle. (To be continued.) )
