All-round Athlete

Chapter 154: King of Track and Field, I want to learn long jump!

IAAF President Diack put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and said, "Have you read the news? Zhang Guan wants to participate in two events of the Golden League at the same time."

The man sitting in front of Diack is Gabriel Dole, an official of the IAAF. He answered: "Judging from Zhang Guan's current ranking in the 400-meter sprint event, he Eligible to sign up for the 400-meter sprint event in the Golden League."

Diack and Dole fell silent at the same time, which had never happened since the Golden League.

In the rule setting of the IAAF Golden League, only one item of a category of small events appears in the competition. For example, one of the four events of throwing javelin, discus, shot put, and hammer is selected as the competition event; one of the jumping high jump, pole vault, long jump and triple jump is selected as the competition event; One event as a competition event; 5000-meter run and 10,000-meter run choose one as a competition event and so on.

Of course, each sub-station will temporarily add some new items, but only points will be counted. Taking the 2005 IAAF Gold League as an example, the 400-meter dash was listed as a competition event in Zurich, but there was no such event in Berlin.

Under this event setting, it is impossible for athletes to appear in two events at the same time. Also take the 2005 IAAF Gold League as an example. You are a high jump athlete. You cannot participate in the javelin throw or the 5,000-meter race. Even if you want to participate, you cannot meet the registration requirements. There is no athlete Being able to cross two different small events can also get the top 20 in the world.

Of course, things are not absolute. In track and field events, there are still two inter-competition events that can be interoperable, that is, the 100-meter sprint and the long jump. The 100-meter sprint level of the long jumpers is not bad, and the 100-meter sprinter's long jump level must also be very good. In a normal 4 x 100-meter relay race, if one of the team members is injured and needs to find a substitute, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not the 110-meter hurdles athlete, but the long jumper.

In history, there are also many athletes who are proficient in 100-meter sprint and long jump at the same time. For example, the legendary American sprinter Carl Lewis once set records in 100-meter sprint, 200-meter sprint and long jump; another example is American female sprinter Marion Jones. Athlete proficient in sprinting and long jumping. However, after entering the 21st century, there is no athlete in the world who can achieve high achievements in both long jump and sprint events.

The 100-meter sprint is a permanent event in the Golden League, so the 200-meter sprint will not be seen in the Golden League, and there will be no 100-meter sprinters who also participate in the 200-meter sprint. This rule is not until the Diamond League It was changed after replacing the Golden League.

In the 2006 IAAF Gold League, the 400-meter sprint replaced the 110-meter hurdles. According to the common understanding of track and field in the world, the 100-meter sprint and the 400-meter sprint are two completely different events, although both events belong to sprints. category, but the span is too great, and it is impossible for athletes to be proficient in these two projects at the same time. But what the IAAF did not expect was that Zhang Guan appeared in this world. He is not only the ruler of the 100-meter sprint, but also able to run the 400-meter within 45 seconds.

After a while of silence, Dole asked, "Chairman, if Zhang Guan really signs up for the 400-meter dash, what should we do?"

"According to the registration rules!" Diack thought for a while, and then said: "Zhang Guan is indeed very dominant in the 100-meter sprint event, but in the 400-meter event, Jeremy Variner is the best in the world. A strong athlete, I think if Zhang Guan loses in the previous races, he will definitely give up the idea of ​​participating in the 400-meter sprint race!"

...

After the World Indoor Athletics Championships, Zhang Guan returned home with the national team.

It takes about 11 hours to fly from Moscow to Beijing, which is a very long journey for everyone, and sleeping is obviously the best way to cope with the long journey.

On the plane, other athletes were already asleep, but Zhang Guan was staring, thinking silently.

"In the 100-meter event, I have no problem. At least before Bolt appeared, I must be the strongest in the world. In the 200-meter event, Crawford of the United States is not my opponent. It was also when Bolt appeared. Before, I would be the strongest in the world. Michael Johnson’s world record of 19.32 seconds seems to be very difficult. If I fill up the state, I may be able to sprint this world record. As for the 400 meters..."

Zhang Guan remembered the restriction that the interval between two uses of the skill "Incomplete Rush Activation" must be greater than 30 seconds, and suddenly felt a little depressed, because with this restriction, he could not cancel this skill in the middle of 400 meters.

"If I am in full condition, it is possible to run 400 meters to 44 seconds, which seems not enough. It is impossible for me to change the running method of 400 meters, so currently in the 400 meters event, I want to run in a short time I am afraid it is impossible to greatly improve the performance, maybe in another two years, the body will be stronger, the endurance will be better, and it will be able to hit the world record."

"Looking at it now, I'm probably like this in these three projects. Should I start a new project? Anyway, I still have a lot of skill points now, and it's still enough to learn a new track and field project." Zhang Guan thought silently, and at the same time began to browse the skills in the system.

"Skill jump? Skill sprint jump? By the way, long jump! Long jump is very suitable for me. If it's just long jump, learning these two skills should be enough! These two skills are only six points in total." The more Zhang Guan thought about it, the more energetic he became. There was an involuntary look of joy on his face.

"Don't sleep, why are you laughing secretly!" Liu Feiren's voice sounded from beside him.

"Not asleep yet?" Zhang Guan asked subconsciously.

"No, I didn't participate in the competition when I went to Moscow this time. I was a cheerleader for three days, and now I'm not tired at all, and I can't sleep at all." Liu Feiren then asked, "What do you remember?"

"Can you jump long?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Long jump? Haha, you're really asking the right person!" Liu Feiren raised his head confidently, and continued, "When it comes to long jump, I'm an expert on this plane!"

Zhang Guan smiled: "Don't brag, there are two triple jump national champions on this plane!"

The two national champions of the triple jump that Zhang Guan mentioned were also athletes in the track and field indoor competition with the team, but they were all eliminated in the qualifying round.

Liu Feiren still looked very good, and said: "That's because I didn't continue to practice long jump. If I continued to practice long jump, I would definitely be better than them!"

"Continue to practice long jump? Have you practiced long jump before? This is the first time I've heard of it. Didn't you practice 100 meters before?" Zhang Guan asked curiously.

I only heard Liu Feiren answer: "I started practicing sports when I was seven years old. I entered a sports school when I was ten years old. At that time, the main training was long jump. I didn't start practicing hurdles until I was thirteen years old. In fact, when I was young, I have been exposed to all kinds of track and field events, not only hurdles, but also sprint, long jump, and high jump. By the way, when I was fifteen years old, I won the all-around runner-up in the national youth track and field competition!"

Zhang Guan nodded in confusion. He had never been to a sports school, so he didn't know what it was like to study there. But he still asked, "What do you think of me going to practice long jump?"

"Do you practice long jump?" Liu Feiren was surprised at first, and then he thought about it seriously before he said: "Long jump is the same as 100 meters, but it depends on explosive power. If you run so fast in 100 meters, you must have strong explosive power. If you are going for the long jump, as long as your skills are qualified, you may be able to jump to the 8-meter mark."

"Is the technique of the long jump difficult?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"If it's just the long jump, the technical difficulty is okay! I think it's much easier than the hurdles. If it's the triple jump, the technical requirements may be higher." Liu Feiren said this, and suddenly thought of Zhang Guan practicing curves When running so exhausted, I couldn't help adding: "It's actually quite difficult, you may have to study for a long time!"

Zhang Guan suddenly became speechless. He knew that his learning ability in track and field events was really average, far behind that of talented athletes like Liu Feiren.

"You don't have to hit me like that! I'm also the world record holder in the 100 meters. As you said, my explosive power is strong enough. Even if my skills are mediocre, I should jump farther than others!" Zhang Guan said

Liu Feiren ignored Zhang Guan's rebuttal, but went on to introduce: "Long jump can be mainly divided into four movements, run-up, take-off, vacating and landing. And each process has corresponding skills that need to be mastered. So those who want to jump Far, not only the body is needed, but also the technique of each stage needs to be brought into full play.”

"Of course, the higher the speed, the better the run-up. You shouldn't have to practice too much on this point. No one in the world can run faster than you. The take-off is the key point. Even if you have good physical fitness and explosive power, You have to practice the technique carefully, there is no shortcut; the main thing is to control the balance of the body and adjust the landing, which requires not only the technique, but also experience; as for the landing, basically do some essential things well. OK."

After listening to Liu Feiren's introduction, Zhang Guan nodded silently, and then asked, "What about the triple jump?"

"Just treat the triple jump as an enhanced version of the long jump." Liu Feiren answered succinctly, then he thought for a while and then said: "The triple jump has two more movements than the long jump. Almost. So some triple jump athletes also have good results in the long jump event."

Zhang Guan thought of the Russian long jump queen Lebedeva who competed with him for the million-dollar prize in the Golden League last year. She is an athlete who is good at both long jump and triple jump.

"Director Yu is a sprint coach, and jumping should not be his forte. You said that if I ask the coach for advice, who should I ask?" Zhang Guan continued to ask.

Liu Feiren said a name that Zhang Guan didn't expect at all: "Director Ma! The most powerful long jump coach in the national team is of course Director Ma!"
