Chapter 2 Ups and Downs of State
On July 17, Beijing Sports University Athletics Field.
The fourth leg of the National Athletics Grand Prix is being held here.
Due to the preparation for the Olympics, athletes such as Liu Feiren and Xing Huina who had the opportunity to win medals in the Olympics did not participate, and Zhang Guan, Asia's No. 1 flyer, was a big name in this competition.
Liu Feiren didn't come, so naturally no one paid attention to the 110-meter hurdles event, and because of this, all the attention was focused on the 100-meter flyer battle, and everyone wanted to see what Zhang Guan's current state was.
The university campus in July has entered the summer vacation, but there are still many students staying on campus, especially the Athletic Sports College, many of the students are professional athletes, including several international athletes, dozens of national athletes, and more national first-class athletes.
As the host city, BSU will naturally receive some care, so in this competition, the Athletics Management Center gave BSU some places to participate, so some of the participating athletes are students of BSU. At the same time, this also lowered the overall competitive standard of the competition.
It is a great honor for many students of Beijing Sports University to be able to compete with Asia's No. 1 Flyer, and before the game, there were countless students who asked Zhang Guan to sign autographs and take pictures, which made Zhang Guan feel that the atmosphere of the competition had disappeared a lot. Faced with this kind of scene, Zhang Guan couldn't be nervous at all, let alone excited.
In the end, Zhang Guan ran a time of 10.24 seconds in the preliminary round and 10.26 seconds in the semi-finals. The preliminary and semi-finals were far from trying their best, just running casually.
Originally, Zhang Guan was a little more serious in the preliminary round, but when he found that the lead was too big, he didn't even take the rematch so seriously.
Whether it is the preliminary round or the semi-final, Zhang Guan's state is not very good, and the opponent is too weak, so that Zhang Guan is not in the mood to play at all. A person who runs 10 seconds in the 100 meters competes against a group of national first-class athletes, like a contest between a cheetah and a rabbit, even if he wins, there is no sense of accomplishment.
At this time, Zhang Guan finally knew why those high-level athletes were reluctant to participate in low-level events.
In the final the next day, the level of athletes was finally much higher, and there were no college athletes to make up the numbers, and the eight players who participated in the competition were all professional-level athletes. Of course, it is impossible for a college athlete to have the strength to make it to the finals.
Zhang Guan met Shen Storm again, and Shen Storm's face at this moment looked very solemn and looked a little nervous.
Shen Storm is sprinting for the final ticket to the Olympic Games, and the deadline for Olympic registration is approaching, and Shen Storm will not give up this last chance. In fact, he did not give up any opportunity, he participated in all the track and field events this year, and achieved a good time of 10.23 seconds, this time is his personal best, and it is the best 100m time in China this year, but unfortunately there is still a gap of 0.02 seconds from the Olympic A standard.
In yesterday's competition, Wang Lina, a 19-year-old young player in the women's long jump event, successfully skipped the Olympic A standard and got an Olympic ticket; And just now, in the men's javelin event, the 32-year-old veteran Li Rongxiang also successfully surpassed the Olympic A standard and won the qualification for the Athens Olympics for himself. The birth of these two new Olympic tickets deeply stimulated Shen Tyranny, and he also hoped that he could seize this last chance to get the opportunity to go to Athens.
As for Zhang Guan, affected by yesterday, today's state is still very bad, which even Zhang Guan himself can clearly feel, even standing on the runway, his body is not excited at all, and his feet feel extremely heavy on the ground, as if he has just come out of the ice storage.
However, Zhang Guan still plans to challenge the Asian record this year. At present, Zhang Guan has four skill points, and he is still two skill points away from completing the next task, and the honor of a national track and field Grand Prix champion alone is not enough to earn two skill points, so he must break the Asian record once.
……
With a gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out of the starting line with all his might.
"It's so fast! I've never seen someone run so fast. ”
"He is worthy of being the first flyer in Asia!"
"It was already surprising to run so fast yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be faster today!"
The students of Beijing Sports University who watched the game in the audience were amazed.
But on the runway, Zhang Guan clearly felt that his speed was very average. Under normal conditions, he must be much faster than he is now.
In the system, the timing numbers are constantly being refreshed, Zhang Guan is a little anxious, at this speed, he may not be able to break the Asian record.
"Gotta work harder!" Zhang Guan thought to himself in his heart, although his legs were full of force, the speed was not raised.
In the end, he did not hold back, and even made a serious crossing action when he took a large lead, but the final result stayed at the position of 9.99 seconds.
There were bursts of cheers and applause from the audience throughout the stadium, and Zhang Guan once again tied the Asian record, which was a great thing in the eyes of the audience. It is an honor for these BSU students to witness this scene with their own eyes.
Director Yu, who was watching the game on the rostrum, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him: "I originally thought that Chen Lao's illness would affect his state of competition, but now it seems that his condition is still quite good, and if he can maintain such a state, I will be relieved to go to the Olympics." ”
Everyone nodded yes, although all of them are sports professionals, the best level of domestic players has been outside 10.2 seconds for a long time, so in their opinion, it is definitely in very good condition to be able to make a record in Asia.
Zhang Guan at the finish line frowned, he knew that his state had reached the extreme, and he did not play at the normal level of his usual training.
It has been ten months since last year's Asian track and field, and in these ten months, Zhang Guan has greatly improved his technique, and under the influence of the two skills of strengthening and fitness, his physical strength and endurance have been greatly improved, and the feeling of sore calves after the original violent exercise is gone, and it can be said that his strength is much stronger than last year. Zhang Guan himself has secretly tested, and under the full sprint, his 100-meter speed is definitely much faster than last year's Asian Athletics Championships, and he can run under 9.9 seconds.
And today Zhang Guan did his best, but only ran for 9.99 seconds, which can only show that Zhang Guan's state today is very poor.
Then Zhang Guan glanced at the overall score sheet again, Shen Bang still failed to run into the Olympic A standard, this time the Athens Olympics is destined to miss him, and judging from his age and competitive state, it is impossible to participate in the next Olympic Games.
Shen Storm looked at the report card with a disappointed face, his eyes were full of pain and unwillingness. As an athlete, participating in the Olympics was undoubtedly not just an honor, it was a lifelong dream, and now that that dream has been shattered, he will never have the chance to realize it again.
"Brother Shen......" Zhang Guan stepped forward, wanting to comfort Shen Storm.
Shen Bang raised his head, smiled at Zhang Guan, and said: "Zhang Guan, cheer for the Olympics, even my share will run together, and strive to run into the finals!" ”
After Shen Storm finished speaking, he turned his head and left, but Zhang Guan vaguely saw that the corners of Shen Storm's eyes seemed to flow out a little bit of crystal.
Zhang Guan didn't speak again, he watched Shen Bang leave, but then he remembered the lonely figure when Chen Lao left.
"I'm going to win the Olympic title!" Zhang Guan said suddenly.
Shen Storm's body slammed, but he didn't look back, and then he raised his right hand and stretched out his thumb.
Zhang Guan couldn't see Shen Storm's expression, but he knew that Shen Storm at this time must be silently blessing him in his heart, and also blessing all the athletes of the entire national team!
……
Failing to break the Asian record and only winning one National Track and Field Grand Prix, Zhang Guan saved five skill points, one skill point away from completing the task. And this skill point needs to wait until the fifth leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix at the end of this month.
Sitting on the bus on the way back, Zhang Guan frowned, thinking about how to improve his game status.
Director Yu was also sitting on the same bus, and when he saw Zhang Guan's sullen look, he changed seats with the person next to Zhang Guan and came to Zhang Guan.
"I tied the Asian record, why am I still depressed." Director Yu asked.
"Coach, I don't think I've been in good shape lately, I've struggled to run in the past two days." Zhang Guan said.
"Not in good shape?" Director Yu was stunned, in his opinion, he could tie the Asian record, how could it be that he was not in good shape, but judging from Zhang Guan's serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
"What's wrong with it? I'll hear it. Director Yu said.
Zhang Guan replied: "It's a little difficult to describe......"
"Do you feel like you're struggling, your steps are heavy, you can't find your rhythm, it's awkward? I feel like it's obviously exerting force, but the speed just can't be raised. Director Yu suddenly looked a little serious.
"yes, that's how it feels!" Zhang Guan said.
Yu Gui took a breath of cold air, he has been an athlete for more than ten years, and a coach for decades, of course he knows what it feels like when the athlete is in poor competition condition, so he described it very accurately.
"An athlete who has not competed for a long time, or who has a physical injury, or who has undergone a significant adjustment in training, or who is affected by off-field factors, can experience ups and downs in form. I'll make a new training plan for you when I get back, and I'll follow up your daily training. Director Yu said.
In the guidance, it seems that the decline in Zhang Guan's state should still be affected by Chen Lao's departure, and the impact of changing coaches on an athlete is great, and the new coach is obviously not as high as Chen Lao's, so it has caused the decline of Zhang Guan's competitive state.
"Having said that, this kid can run 9.99 seconds if he is not in good shape, and if he is in shape, won't he go to the world championship?" Director Yu thought silently.
