Chapter 114: The 200-meter Biggest Hit
The press conference continued, and Director Ma was still the focus of media attention.
I saw a reporter get up and ask: "Zhang Guan jumped the best long jump of the year twice in a row in today's competition, I can be sure that Zhang Guan is currently one of the strongest long jumpers in the world, but I am curious, Zhang Guan is also so good in his usual training?" ”
Director Ma thought for a while and said: "Actually, Zhang Guan is a competition-type player, and his performance in official competitions is often better than daily practice. Speaking of results, in fact, Zhang Guan has jumped more than 8.5 meters at the Chinese Track and Field Championships last month, and broke the Asian long jump twice in the competition. It's just that that competition is a domestic event in China, so journalists may not know about it. ”
The reporters present showed a look of sudden realization.
"It turns out that a month ago, Zhang Guan had already jumped 8.5 meters! This result is placed in the general international competition, and it is possible to win a medal! ”
"Breaking the Asian long jump record twice, although I don't know what the Asian record is, but the score of more than 8.5 meters is enough to prove Zhang Guan's strength, it seems that it is no coincidence that Zhang Guan won the championship of the Athletics World Cup this time."
While the reporters whispered, another reporter asked: "Zhang Guan is already the king of sprints, and he needs to participate in both the 100-meter and 400-meter races in the race, which is already an incredible thing in the eyes of many people." And now with the addition of a long jump event, Zhang Guan can still win the championship. We all know that a person's energy is limited, how does Zhang Guan allocate his energy? Is there any special training method? ”
Director Ma was smiling, but he could hear what the reporter was talking about, and what the so-called "special training method" meant, a discerning person would know as soon as he heard it.
I saw Director Ma replied unhurriedly: "There are many famous sprinters in the world. You can achieve good results in the long jump, and the sprint and the long jump have something in common, which everyone has long known, so as a sprinter, if you want to practice the long jump, you only need to master the skills after jumping. Athletes want to get good results. Relying on senior talent and hard training, there are no shortcuts, and there are no special training methods. I think if you were to visit the star sprinters and long jumpers in the past, they would give you the same answer. ”
Just now, the reporter wanted to ask a question, but the organizers apparently didn't give him another chance. Stirring up this kind of topic at the press conference is also something that the organizers do not want to see. So the staff gave the microphone to another reporter.
The reporter's question is much more normal: "In tomorrow's race, Zhang Guan still needs to participate in the men's 200-meter sprint, and I don't actually have Zhang Guan's relevant results in the 200-meter race, but as a world record holder in the 100-meter dash and 400-meter dash." I think Zhang Guan's 200m strength is also extraordinary, and Zhang Guan is also the first favorite to win the 200m championship at present, I wonder what do you think about tomorrow's 200m race? ”
"I would like to explain to you that Zhang Guan once participated in the 200-meter dash at the East Asian Games last year, and broke the Asian record in the 200-meter with a time of 19.98 seconds. Of course, this result is not enough to win the championship in the international arena, but now that almost a year has passed, Zhang Guan is both physically and technically. I am looking forward to Zhang Guan being able to perform his best in the 200m race tomorrow! ”
……
The day after the World Athletics Championships. First up was the men's triple jump. Some of the national team players represented the Asian team, but unfortunately did not finish in the top eight.
On the track, the first one to be held was the hurdle event. Liu Feiren will represent the Asian team.
Among Liu's opponents, the U.S. team initially sent Wilson, but it was decided to replace Wilson with veteran Alan Johnson shortly before the game. The American team sent Robles, a Cuban teenager who has just risen this year, and the European team is played by European champion Latvian Oliyes. All of these players have a chance to win the championship.
After the start of the game. Liu Feiren had a slow start and was led by Alan Johnson, while Robles was almost neck-and-neck with Liu Feiren. After three hurdles, Liu Feiren took advantage of his technical advantage and gradually closed the distance with Alan Johnson, but Johnson played just as well. He came out on top in the final sprint, winning the race in 12.96 seconds, with Liu Feiren second in 13.03 seconds and Cuban Robles third.
In the 3,000m steeplechase held later, Qatar's 3,000m steeplechase king won the championship with an absolute advantage, and he was also the second athlete to win two gold medals in this Athletics World Cup.
After the 3,000m race, the women's 200m and men's 200m races will start one after the other.
In the men's 200m, Obikwiru once again represented the European team, while the U.S. team fielded a young athlete who has just risen in the last two years, Wallace Spearman.
Wallace Spearman, 22, specializes in the 200-meter dash, where he won two collegiate league track and field championships and represented Team USA at the 2005 World Athletics Championships, where she won a silver medal in the 200m. Spearman is currently regarded as the strongest 200m runner in the U.S. team after Crawford.
The player sent by the Americas was of course a young Usain Bolt. Bolt is also a 200m athlete, and although he is still young, he has as much experience as a veteran on the international stage. He began to compete in some Central American competitions at the age of 15, and won the World Youth Athletics Championships in 2002, becoming the youngest champion in the history of the World Youth Championships, while Zhang Guan was still honestly in high school at that time. Usain Bolt then competed in Athens, but was suspended for almost a year due to injury. It wasn't until before the World Cup in Athletics that he made a comeback.
At this time, Bolt seemed very excited, and Zhang Guan was the thing he had been looking forward to for a long time, for Bolt at this time, he did not think about defeating Zhang Guan, but he really hoped to be able to fully show his strength in front of Zhang Guan.
But that's not the case with the American Spearman, a young athlete who has always been the strongest 200m athlete in the U.S. when he was in college, so he just graduated when he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he was thinking about how to defeat Zhang Guan.
Spearman looked at Zhang Guan, who was tying his shoes, and thought silently in his heart: "Zhang Guan, I admit that you are the strongest in the world in the 100m and 400m events, but now you have to compete in the 200m, and in a while, I will let you see how interesting the 200m race is!" Defeating the so-called king of world sprinting, haha, must be a very shocking thing! ”
The ambitious Spearman couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this. In fact, this kind of person exists in all walks of life, just like writing online articles, there are many newcomers who always have a low eye when they first enter the industry, feel that their works are very good, and feel that the works of the gods are just like that, and there is a kind of mentality of stepping on the gods every minute, but they don't know that they have just taken the first step. And nine times out of ten, this kind of person will be imprisoned halfway through writing.
……
"Hello spectators, the men's 200m final is about to begin! This is also the most watched race of the day, the king of sprints, Zhang Guan, is about to appear in the next race! Although Zhang Guan once participated in the 200m race of the East Asian Games last year, it was only a small-scale sports event held between East Asian countries, and the strength of the opponent was also very weak. And today, Zhang Guan stands on the international stage of the 200-meter dash for the first time and makes his debut in front of the world's audience, what kind of surprise will he bring us? Let's all wait and see! ”
"Okay, the players have all entered, and the first one in line is ......"
The narrator began to introduce the athletes one by one, and after the introduction, the referee signaled the athletes to stand on the starting line and prepare to start.
“Onyourmarks…… set……”
At the moment when the gun rang out, Bolt was the first to rush out, while the other athletes did not move, and the whistle sounded at this time to stop the game, which obviously indicated that Bolt had rushed.
Bolt walked back a little embarrassed, and didn't forget to smile at Zhang Guan, he was indeed too excited, so he couldn't wait to play faster, and involuntarily rushed out.
But then, Bolt quickly adjusted his mindset and got back on the starting plane.
The starting guns rang out again, and this time no one was running, and the runners started smoothly.
The technical characteristics of the American Spearman's technique are that the speed in the early stage is not fast, but in the second half of the game it will suddenly make a force. It's a deceptive technique that initially makes opponents think that Spearman is average, but when Spearman suddenly starts to accelerate, the rapid change in pace can catch his opponent off guard. By the time the opponent reacts, it is likely to be overtaken by Spearman.
It was this style of running that Spearman used today, and he wasn't very fast in the opening corners, and although there was a starting position, experienced people should be able to tell that he was not just behind Zhang Guan, but also behind Bolt and Obikwiru.
"Zhang Guan must now think that my strength is very poor, that's why I run so slowly! I'll be sure to surprise you when I speed up later......" Spearman was looking forward to the moment when he counterattacked, but he never realized that he was actually thinking too much. (To be continued.) )
