Chapter 23: Too Slow

The commentator at the scene said: "The Olympic A standard of the men's 1500m event is 3:36.60, and the Olympic B standard is 3:39. We hope that Zhang Guan can get a ticket to the Olympics in the next 1500m heats! ”

At the starting line, the starter signaled everyone to prepare, and with a "snap", the starting gun that Zhang Guan had not seen for a long time rang out.

Perhaps because he had not participated in the 1500-meter race for too long, Zhang Guan looked a little rusty when he started to grab the track, and even though the organizers arranged a better position for him, he was still squeezed to the back of the middle.

But Zhang Guan is not in a hurry, his "follow and run" skill is originally to follow behind other people's butts, and it doesn't matter if he wants to break away from the team.

But soon after, Zhang Guan found that the speed of this group was also very slow, the leader was slow, and the followers were also slow.

"With such a slow speed, it's no wonder that I can't even get the Olympic B standard." Zhang Guan was a little helpless, but this was a 1500-meter race, and it was obviously impossible for him to rush to the front to take the lead.

The athletes are in the same group, no one is left behind, so they enter the straight from the straight to the corner, and from the corner to the straight, the formation and position of the athletes have not changed, and everyone is still running step by step.

The spectacle was boring, and the audience turned from cheering and cheering to speechless silence, and some even yawned halfway through the race, that is, when the athletes passed by the track in front of them, they remembered some sparse applause.

1000 meters, 1100 meters, 1200 meters, in the blink of an eye, there are only the last 300 meters left from the end, and at this time Zhang Guan began to get anxious.

"How do you feel slower than the first group. If you continue to run like this, the final result will be 3 minutes and 48 seconds, which is 10 seconds slower than the Olympic B standard! No, I can't wait any longer, even if I consume more physical strength to write, I have to rush up first! Thinking of this, Zhang Guan turned to the outside in the straight and began to accelerate.

"Zhang Guan, leaving the large army, he accelerated. Rushed up, rushed to the first! Entering the corner, Zhang Guan's speed still did not decrease! Come on, come on! The narrator suddenly became excited, and at the same time, the audience at the scene also began to chant, began to applaud, and began to cheer for Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan's physical strength is declining rapidly, but his speed is very fast. It's much faster than the other players.

As the seconds passed, Zhang Guan's lead became bigger and bigger, but he became more and more panicked in his heart.

"Oops, it's too slow. Even if I'm accelerating. However, it may not be possible to meet the target. ”

Zhang Guan entered the final straight track and began to sprint, getting closer and closer to the finish line, but also to the Olympic standard A of 3:36.60.

"I can't meet the Olympic A standard!" The timer in Zhangguan's system has reached 3 minutes and 37 seconds. Exceeded the Olympic A standard of 3:36.60.

"It seems that the Olympic B standard is also a little hanging." The clock had reached 3 minutes and 38 seconds, and Zhang Guan was still some distance from the finish line.

Moments before the finish, the clock was 3 minutes and 39 seconds. This is the standard line for Olympic B standards.

"It's just a little bit! Even the Olympic B standard has not been reached, or the front is too slow. Zhang Guan simply slowed down. In the end, Zhang Guan's score also stayed at the position of 3:39.98.

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit away, it's less than a second before Zhang Guan can reach the B standard of the Olympics! It can be seen that Zhang Guan has done his best, what a pity! However, this is only the preliminary round, and we still have a final after that, and Zhang Guan still has a chance to qualify for the Olympics. The narrator spoke.

At the finish line, Zhang Guan shook his head helplessly, he didn't even reach the Olympic B standard, which he didn't expect.

Both the athletes participating in the competition and the spectators in the audience also started to discuss.

"It looks like Zhang Guan's state has not returned to his peak state!"

"That's right, I remember that Zhang Guan once ran a time of 3:28.88 in the 1500m event, and now his time is 11 seconds slower than when he was at his peak!"

"I have said it a long time ago, Zhang Guan has not practiced track and field for so long, it has long been gone, the 8.26 meters just from that long jump is just a coincidence, Zhang Guan's current strength in track and field, that is, the level of the Olympic B standard, he is far from the peak, maybe he will never return to the level of two years ago!"

"A few days ago, I thought Zhang Guan would be able to win three gold medals in the Olympic Games, but looking at his state today, he can't even reach the Olympic B standard, let alone three Olympic gold medals, just one of them hangs!"

"I said that Zhang Guan will honestly continue to practice tennis, so that he can keep a tennis gold medal, but in the end, don't keep the tennis gold medal, and he can't get the track and field gold medal."

"I heard that he also participated in the men's national basketball team, and what NBA draft, it's really self-inflicted, the level of track and field has dropped so much, and he still has to play basketball!"

"Maybe Zhang Guan knows that he can't win the championship in track and field, so he is ready to change careers!"

Of course, there were also voices in the crowd defending Zhang Guan:

"This is just a preliminary round, maybe Zhang Guan is hiding his strength?"

However, someone immediately retorted: "Hidden strength? You didn't see that when he was in the final sprint just now, Zhang Guan was already running as hard as he could, but in the end he still didn't reach the Olympic B standard! ”

……

An hour later, Zhang Guan was back on track and field for his final race this morning, the men's 400m heats.

"Zhang Guan is playing again, it's the preliminaries of the 400 meters!"

"In the 1500 meters just now, Zhang Guan didn't even reach the Olympic B standard, just in this state of competition, it depends on what he does!"

"That's different, the 400m is Zhang Guan's forte, he is the world record holder in the 400m, and in the 1500m, Zhang Guan has not broken the world record. Zhang Guan's strength in 400 meters is much stronger than in 1500 meters. ”

"That's just the past! Zhang Guan used to be strong in the 400m, but that doesn't mean he's still strong now! This man put the word "was" very seriously.

The 1500m did not even reach the Olympic B standard, which did affect many people's confidence in Zhang Guan, and there were more and more doubts about Zhang Guan.

In the athlete preparation area, Zhang Guan is in the same group as an Oderia player and a Japanese player.

These two foreign athletes are unknown in track and field, and they usually have the opportunity to participate in their home competitions, and their strength may be stronger than ordinary Chinese athletes, but they are certainly not comparable to Zhang Guan.

However, Zhang Guan's performance in the 1500m event just now gave hope to the Australian athlete. He feels that the current Zhang Guan has not yet returned to his peak state, and this is also a golden opportunity for him.

The Australian named Mark, and with a defiant glint in his eyes, he threw himself at Zhang Guan, who was not far away.

"I really didn't expect that I would be able to compete with Zhang Guan one day, this is Zhang Guan, the king of world track and field back then!" Mark took a deep breath: "But Zhang Guan's current state may not even reach the Olympic B standard, but I can reach the Olympic B standard, I want to be stronger than the current Zhang Guan, today is the moment for me to defeat Zhang Guan and become famous!"
