Chapter 504: First to Last

Zhang Guan also held the list of contestants in his hand, and in addition to Farah, he also saw a very familiar name. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sanenissa Bekele? Isn't Bekele retired? Zhang Guan said with some puzzlement.

"He's back again." The coach next to him explained: "Bekele suffered an injury in 2009, did not play a single game in the whole of 2010, and at the 2011 World Championships, Bekele retired due to injury in the first game of his comeback, and has been in the retirement stage ever since. This year, he made another comeback and participated in the domestic qualifiers in Ethiopia. However, the current Bekele, whose speed is not as good as before, can no longer run 5,000 meters, and even in the 10,000 meters event, he is no longer the No. 1 athlete in the Ethiopian team. ”

"Another elite athlete who has been destroyed by injury!" Zhang Guan couldn't help but remember that when he participated in the Athletics Golden League, Bekele once competed with him for the million-dollar gold award, and today, he has retired from the ranks of the top athletes.

Just listen to the coach continue: "In the Ethiopian team, the real attention is Tariku Bekele, he is Bekele's younger brother and the current head of the Ethiopian team. ”

"I know him, little Bekele. The Ethiopians are still the same, brothers in battle. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Ethiopia often has brothers or sisters competing at the same time, such as the Bekele brothers, such as the Dibaba sisters, who are all world champion-level athletes. If you see two or even three of the Ethiopian team with the same surname in the list of contestants, don't be surprised, and don't think that the organizer has made a mistake in the name of the player, then nine times out of ten they are brothers or sisters.

Zhang Guan had a general look at the roster, and although Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea and the United States all had three players each, the strongest was Britain's Farah. In the 10,000-meter race, he has the ability to run under 27 minutes.

"What should I do? Is it running at three fixed speeds in a row? Or do you use a follow-up run first, followed by a fixed-speed run? Zhang Guan frowned and began to think.

"If it's just for the sake of victory, using a follow-up run in front and a fixed-speed run in the back is definitely more energy-saving. The Olympic record in the 10,000m is 27:01, and if I run a time of about 26:50, I should have won the championship. However, if you want to break the 10,000-meter world record, you can't run this way, after all, I don't know if the speed is fast or slow in the first few laps. ”

The 10,000-meter race takes 25 laps, which is a very long process, and the speed of the runners mainly depends on the speed of the leading athletes. Zhang Guan's follow-up running skills are based on the speed of the athletes in front of him, which is also an uncertain factor for Zhang Guan. If the runner in front of him is slow, then Zhang Guan's final result will definitely be slow, and there is no hope that he can break the world record.

But running at a fixed pace is different, Zhang Guan only needs to calculate a speed that can break the world record in advance, and then run at this speed, he will definitely be able to break the world record.

"The 10,000-meter world record is 26 minutes and 17 seconds, assuming I finish the race at a speed of 26 minutes and 15 seconds, then I need to set a speed of 22.86 kilometers per hour, but I have to run a total of 11.43 kilometers of distance by using three of these fixed-speed running skills in a row, which is 11,430 meters, then after I finish the race, I will have to run another 1,430 meters to stop, which is equivalent to three more laps around the field!"

Zhang Guan remembered the previous domestic Grand Prix, and he forcibly circled the field two and a half times after the race before stopping.

Zhang Guanxin scolded this "fixed-speed running" skill again, this skill must be used for 10 minutes at a time, and the game ended in 26 minutes and 15 seconds, but Zhang Guan couldn't stop, and had to run for another 3 minutes and 45 seconds to rest.

"For the sake of the world record, run three more laps and run three more laps! It's a big deal to use the Stamina Potion again in the middle of a match. Zhang Guan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

……

A total of 30 runners competed in the 10,000-meter race, all of whom stood at the starting line, lined up in two rows.

Zhang Guan stood in the crowd and looked a little abrupt, nine times out of ten long-distance runners are black runners, if there are yellow or white people, it is naturally particularly conspicuous.

Long-distance runners look relatively thin, even if they are tall, but they must be a thin bamboo pole, compared to them, Zhang Guan is simply too tall, and the other two people are not able to stand on one track, Zhang Guan himself has to occupy one.

Most of the competitors cast curious glances at Zhang Guan, who should have appeared in the sprint or middle run, after all, it was his world record event.

Only the British player Farah looked at Zhang Guan with an unkind face. In Farah's view, long-distance running is his own turf and no one else is allowed to interfere. It's like being in the prairie, where a male lion enters the territory of another male lion, and it's no wonder that the two sides don't fight!

And now Farah is the lion who only needs to defend his territory

All the runners were ready, and with a gunshot, the race began, and Zhang Guan started the fixed speed run, which he set at 22.86 km/h, at which time he could finish in 26 minutes and 15 seconds.

……

"At the start of the race, the competitors started to go into the first corner, who was ahead? It's Bekele! Ethiopian legend Bekele is in first place. He's been suffering from injuries for a couple of years, but Bekele looks in good form today! The narrator's voice rang out.

When the competitors passed the first corner and then entered the straight again, everyone realized that at the end of the camera, one of the competitors had fallen out of the group.

"It's only 200 meters, why is someone left behind?"

"In the 10,000-meter race, the 200-meter race starts to fall behind, and the next 9,800-meter race, how can you run?"

"Who is this, I can't hold it at the beginning of the game, so it won't be long before I get trapped!"

"That one who fell behind seems to be an Asian player!"

"It's Zhang Guan! The last player to fall behind is Zhang Guan! ”

"I have long said that Zhang Guan is not the material for long-distance running, and he fell behind at the beginning of the race, so he simply quit the race!"

"Zhang Guan really has nothing to look for, isn't it good to honestly participate in sprints or middle runs? I had to run a sprint, now I know, I can't keep up with the rhythm in the first place! ”

The audience whispered, and in front of the TV, Sebastian happily hummed a little tune.

"Haha, you fell behind at the beginning, Zhang Guan, you are destined to be deflated in this game! That's great! I've got to crack a bottle to celebrate! Sebastian excitedly walked over to the wine cabinet and pulled out one of his treasured bottles of brandy.

……

Zhang Guan's speed is now slower than the other players.

Because at the beginning of the competition, the players have more physical strength and the speed will be slightly faster.

On the other hand, countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, and Eritrea use a teamwork strategy, which deliberately speeds up at the beginning of the game to affect the rhythm of other athletes and drain the opponents' physical strength. But by two or three thousand meters, they'll definitely slow down.

Zhang Guan was running at one speed the whole time, so at the beginning of the race, he became the slowest person.

If it is expressed in data, Zhang Guan's 26 minutes and 15 seconds to complete 10,000 meters, the time it takes to run 1,000 meters is 2:37.50, while other runners run 1,000 meters at a speed of less than 2 minutes and 35 seconds, if someone deliberately takes a fast pace, it is very common to run within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, which is 7.5 seconds faster than the speed set by Zhang Guan.

Prior to this, Zhang Guan participated in the domestic Grand Prix and did not fall behind at the beginning. Because the long-distance running level of domestic athletes is relatively poor, the best results have to run for 29 minutes, and there are many people with more than 30 minutes, even if Zhang Guan set the score at 22.22 kilometers at that time, he will not fall behind.

But in the Olympic Games, the players' results are generally within 28 minutes, and the strength of the opponent has improved a lot, even if Zhang Guan sets a faster speed, he can only lag behind at the beginning of the game.

In the Olympic 10,000-meter battle, Zhang Guan was thrown behind by the big team in the first lap, and at this moment, everyone felt that Zhang Guan had been eliminated.
