Chapter 481 10,000 meters
As soon as Zhang Guan left, Director Ma made a phone call, and soon after, a man in his fifties appeared in Director Ma's office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This man has gray hair, long eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks quite friendly, a bit like the image of a positive character in a TV series.
His surname is Lu, and he is the deputy secretary general of the Athletics Association and the director of a department of the Athletics Management Center.
"Old Lu is here, sit down!" When Director Ma saw this Secretary-General Lu, he immediately beckoned him to sit down, and then recounted what Zhang Guan had just done.
"Long-distance running? Nonsense, this is nonsense! Secretary-General Lu looked distressed.
From the perspective of the field management center, Zhang Guan does not want to win the gold medal in sprinting, but goes to run long-distance running, which is indeed a nonsense thing, and Secretary General Lu, as a member of the field management center, naturally considers the problem from the perspective of the field management center.
"It's normal for young people to be impulsive, and it's also necessary for us, as a management department, to guide athletes correctly." Director Ma said with a smile.
Secretary-General Lu nodded, if it is other athletes, the athletics management center will directly give an order, and the athletes will definitely not dare to disobey, if they really dare to disobey, they will be punished directly, and the athletes will not dare to be disobedient! But Zhang Guan is different, his fame and strength are there, so the field management center can only adopt a relatively gentle way, that is, the so-called "guidance" in Director Ma's mouth.
"That's what I thought. Let Zhang Guan participate in a long-distance running competition, maybe his results will be good, but it will definitely not be able to achieve the dominance of sprinting. When the time comes, we will persuade him to know that it is not difficult to participate in long-distance running, and let him retreat. We can eliminate his thoughts of long-distance running in advance, and we can also practice sprinting without distractions. This is also very beneficial for us to go to London. Director Ma said, looked at Secretary-General Lu, and then said: "Old Lu, our center, when it comes to doing ideological work, you are the only one!" So I'd like to ask you to come out this time. ”
"No problem, it's on me!" Secretary-General Lu patted his chest and said.
Secretary General Lu is a demobilized cadre from the army, and he used to be an instructor in the army, and doing ideological work is his ability to take care of his own affairs.
"Next, Zhang Guan will go to participate in the first leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, so this time, I will bother you to go on a long trip to represent our center to attend this National Track and Field Grand Prix, and you can also find a suitable time to persuade Zhang Guan by the way." Director Ma spoke.
……
Zhang Guan had already expected that he would encounter obstacles in participating in the long-distance running competition, but he didn't expect that the obstacles would be so big, at least Director Ma's refusal was so resolute, which made Zhang Guan feel a lot of pressure.
Director Ma was also forced to be anxious by the gold medal. In the last Olympic Games, Zhang Guan alone won 8 gold medals for the Athletics Management Center, but this year, Zhang Guan can only participate in 3 track and field events at most, that is, only 3 gold medals are in the account. Therefore, in Director Ma's view, Zhang Guan must choose the safest sprint and grasp the 3 gold medals in his hands, which is the most correct thing.
As for long-distance running, even if Zhang Guan has the strength to participate in the Olympic Games, he may not be able to win the gold medal. Compared with the two, whether it is the field management center or even higher-level, it is inevitable that Zhang Guan will participate in the sprint event.
Originally, Zhang Guan thought that if he casually ran an Olympic B standard, he could meet the standards for participating in the Olympic Games, and he could participate, but now it seems that an Olympic B standard result obviously cannot impress Director Ma and the Athletics Management Center.
"Olympic A standard? It's not enough. Zhang Guan shook his head silently.
The Olympic A standard of long-distance running, for Chinese athletes and even Asian athletes, although it is out of reach, but in the world, it is nothing, such as Ethiopia, Kenya and other countries, long-distance runners who can reach the Olympic A standard grab a handful. A player who meets the Olympic standard A, put it in the Olympic Games, I am afraid that there will be no scum left by the Ethiopians.
"It seems that you have to run a sufficiently amazing result, and it is the kind of gold-medal level result, to have a chance to let the field management center release it!" Thinking of this, Zhang Guan sighed a little helplessly.
……
The National Athletics Grand Prix is held every year, and this year's National Athletics Grand Prix has a total of five competitions, the first four of which are sub-stations, and the last one is the finals.
Since this year is an Olympic year, for track and field athletes, if they can meet the Olympic standards in any of the National Athletics Grand Prix, they will hope to go to London to participate in the Olympic Games, so this year's National Track and Field Grand Prix is particularly lively.
The competitors arrived in the city where the competition was taking place two days in advance, and those who were hoping to qualify for the Olympics were in the spotlight.
"Have you heard? Zhang Guan is here this time! ”
"I've known this for a long time. Zhang Guan didn't really participate in track and field competitions last year, so I guess he came to get an Olympic standard result! ”
"The IAAF restricts that an athlete can only compete in three track and field events, which is simply for Zhang Guan, which three events do you say Zhang Guan will choose?"
"It's definitely a sprint, his sprint is so strong!"
"Hehe, you're wrong, I just heard the news, Zhang Guan's registration this time is long-distance running, 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters!"
"What? Running? How is this possible? If a sprinter goes for a long run, can he run down? ”
"When you say that, I remember, there was a news report a few days ago, saying that Zhang Guan won a triathlon Asian Championships, and in the triathlon, isn't there a 10-kilometer long-distance run, which is exactly 10,000 meters!"
"So Zhang Guan can really run long-distance running!"
"With Zhang Guan's physical fitness, running 10,000 meters is a piece of cake at all, and the key is the result. As far as I know, the 10 kilometers of the triathlon can be run for 30 minutes, which is considered very fast, but the 10,000 meters in the field can be run in 28 minutes and 05 seconds to reach the Olympic B standard! Not to mention anything else, no one in our country can meet this minimum standard! ”
Everyone fell silent for a while, in the Olympic Games four years ago, when the 10,000-meter B standard standard was still 28 minutes and 10 seconds, no Chinese athlete could reach it, and now it has improved by 5 seconds, and no one can reach the standard.
I only heard the man just now continue: "Even if Zhang Guan can run to 28 points, will the Athletics Management Center let him participate in the long-distance running of the Olympic Games?" The score of 28 points is not achieved by anyone in China, but in the international arena, the countdown is certain, and the field management center is not a fool, don't put the sprint gold medal, and let Zhang Guan run a long-distance run with the bottom of the score? ”
"Maybe Zhang Guan's long-distance running strength will be very strong? Don't forget, since Zhang Guan's debut, he has never lost! Someone said unconvinced.
"I think so, since Zhang Guan dares to participate in the long-distance run, he must have his support! Maybe there's a good show to watch! ”
……
In the domestic track and field arena, Zhang Guan is a god-like existence, and his appearance will inevitably attract the attention of all athletes and coaches, even if he is participating in long-distance running.
No one can guess what Zhang Guan's idea is, and instead of participating in the sprints and middle runs, which are at the world record level, he starts to run long-distance running. Many people even put on a posture of watching a good show, and some conspiracy theorists even believe that Zhang Guan and the Athletics Association have a contradiction again.
In the middle of the rostrum, Secretary-General Lu half-squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Guan at the starting line.
"I'm still too young, uncertain, I want to play a play! Every gold medal in the Olympics is extremely important, is this kind of thing child's play? How can you make nonsense. After the game is over, let me enlighten you! ”
At this time, Secretary General Lu had already prepared a set of "persuasion" plans, and when Zhang Guan finished the race, he personally went over to comfort him with a "pleasant face", and then persuaded Zhang Guan to "know his way back" and embark on the correct path of sprinting.
……
At the starting line, the men's 10,000m race is about to begin.
There are two competition days for the National Grand Prix, so the two robe events will naturally be held on two days, which also allows the athletes to recover their strength.
In the men's robe event, there are not many domestic athletes, and even in the 10,000-meter race, even in the Olympic Games, thirty or forty athletes run together. Therefore, regardless of the semi-finals of the preliminary round, all the contestants run together, and the game is determined to win or lose, which will also lead to a relatively large gap in strength between the players.
Zhang Guan set the speed of the "fixed speed run" at 22.22 kilometers per hour, and if he continued to run at this speed, Zhang Guan would complete the 10,000-meter race in 27 minutes.
In terms of 10,000 meters, the national record is 28 minutes 08 seconds, so if Zhang Guan can run for 27 minutes, it means that he is more than 1 minute faster than the national record!
Of course, the national record of 10,000 meters does not even reach the Olympic B standard, and there is no comparison with the international level.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, Bekele, the king of long-distance running, won the gold medal in the 10,000m with an Olympic record, and this time was 27 minutes 01 seconds! At that time, Bekele was unbeatable and won this gold medal with a clear lead.
So if Zhang Guan can run for 27 minutes, it is equivalent to the Olympic gold medal! (To be continued.) )
