All-round Athlete

In the first 100 meters, the athletes ran relatively smoothly. Among the athletes participating in the 400-meter sprint competition this time, there were no athletes who favored running in the early stage, so everyone's speed could not be said to be very fast. In this case, Zhang Guan's speed turned out to be a few points faster than the others. This was the advantage of absolute speed.

"Zhang Guan's opening speed seems to be quite fast!"

"Is this a running style that favors the early stage?"

Those who have not watched Zhang Guan play can't help but start to guess the running method Zhang Guan uses. ,

Varina has watched the video of Zhang Guan's game. He knows that Zhang Guan's running method is basically running at the same rhythm for the first three hundred meters, and he will start a fierce sprint at the end.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm and speed are slightly faster than in the video. If he runs according to his usual running method, he will maintain this rhythm before 300 meters, which means that his speed today is definitely faster than usual. Fast. Is it because of his good condition?" Warina remembered that in the morning, Zhang Guan ran to the 9.70-second mark, which at least meant that Zhang Guan must be in good condition today.

"Zhang Guan is faster than usual, I have to improve my rhythm a little bit." Thinking of this, Warina began to adjust his rhythm to make the speed a little faster.

In middle-distance running competitions, athletes will merge into the inside track after passing the rushing line. At this time, the speed of the leading athlete will affect other athletes, so there is a saying of rhythm. In the 400-meter race, Although everyone has a fixed track, there are also rhythms. Especially when the athletes on the outside track run faster, the athletes on the inside will feel like they are lagging behind, and they will also increase their speed, making everyone faster and the overall rhythm will be increased.

As Varina's teammate, Harris uses the same running method as Varina. After he observed that Varina started to speed up, he also started to speed up. At the same time, the speed of Bahamian star Brown and Canadian Taylor also increased. Only the speed of the two Jamaican players did not change much.

The running methods of the two Jamaican athletes are somewhat different from others. Among them, Blackwood uses a more mid-term running method. His speed will increase very quickly in the second and third 100-meter stages. The final sprint will be slower; while Simpson uses a running method of accelerating on two straights, his speed will be slower in the two corners, and he will sprint on the two straight tracks.

There is nothing outstanding about the first 100 meters of the race. Starting, accelerating, adjusting during acceleration, and getting into the rhythm of the race as quickly as possible are what all athletes must do. For the commentators and the audience, this was all pretty average, with no notable highlights.

However, after entering the second 100 meters, the situation on the field will change, and athletes will choose different running methods according to their respective situations.

Zhang Guan, who was on the outermost side, was definitely the first to enter the straight track, but his rhythm did not change in any way and remained exactly the same as in the corners.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm has not changed!" Everyone's eyes lit up. At this time, everyone had already guessed that Zhang Guan was using a running method that European and American players prefer.

Immediately afterwards, other athletes also entered the straight track. At this stage, the speeds of these athletes were almost the same, but the starting lanes were different. Some entered the straight track sooner or later.

There is no change in the frequency of Varina's steps, but the amplitude of his steps has obviously increased a lot. In fact, other athletes will also try to take larger steps on the straight track, but the amplitude of Varina's steps has changed so obviously. But no, this is Varina's unique technology.

After all, Varina is a white athlete. In fact, he cannot compare with black athletes in terms of speed. The reason why Varina can become the world's first person in the 400 meters mainly relies on superb technology and speed endurance.

Since Michael Johnson retired, the 400-meter level around the world has actually fallen into a state of regression. For a long time, black runners' physical running methods were once very popular, while Varina, as a white man, Identity dominated the 400-meter dash, which allowed everyone to pick up skills again. When black athletes also had superb skills, even Varina could no longer maintain dominance. For example, in 2006, it was unthinkable for athletes to run under 44 seconds. However, nine years later, in 2015, in the world's top competitions, if athletes could not run under 44 seconds, they would not even win a medal.

In this section of the straight track, Warina, a white athlete, relied on technology, while black athletes relied on physical talent and speed. Except for Zhang Guan and Warina, other black athletes began to increase their rhythm. Among them, Jamaican Blackwood and Simpson ran the fastest. Both of them had to rush at this stage.

In the second 100-meter straight track, the time spent by athletes who choose conservative running is about 11 seconds, and the time spent by athletes who choose to speed up is about 10.50 seconds. Varina’s technical running method, although the rhythm The change is not big, but through technology to make up for it, it can also reach a time of 10.50 seconds. For athletes who choose sprint running, their time is probably within 10.30 seconds.

Among the athletes participating today, obviously no one chose to choose a conservative running method in the second 100-meter stage. They either slightly increased their speed, or chose to sprint, or use Varina's technical flow, so at this stage, Zhang Guan Starting to fall behind.

"Blackwood, start speeding up! Varina! Simpson is very fast, he is catching up!" The commentator has begun to ignore Zhang Guan. As a professional sports commentator, even if the relative positions of the athletes are ahead and behind, He could also see that at this stage, Zhang Guan was obviously lagging behind.

Instructor Yu acted very calmly. He knew that Zhang Guan’s running style would only explode in the last 100 meters, so it was normal to fall behind in the front. Instructor Yu was used to Zhang Guan falling behind in the front, and Instructor Yu It can be felt that Zhang Guan seems to be faster than usual today, which means that he will be less behind in the first 300 meters.

The third 100-meter curve is a very critical distance for athletes. It can be said that it is also the embodiment of athletes' running methods and tactics.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm has not changed, he still hasn't increased his speed!" Some coaches in the viewing area frowned. Under normal circumstances, athletes who adopt a conservative running method for the second 100 meters will start sprinting when entering the corner, but Zhang Guan obviously did not do this.

"Does Zhang Guan have to wait until 250 meters before he starts sprinting? Michael Johnson's traditional running method? This running method requires a lot of explosive power, speed and speed endurance. Zhang Guan's speed and explosive power are naturally very powerful, but the speed How’s your endurance?”

At this time, Michael Johnson, who was a guest, also noticed Zhang Guan.

"This is my running style in the early stages of my sports career!" Michael Johnson immediately made a judgment. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Johnson used this running method. In the mid-to-late 1990s, as Johnson's skills became better and better, he also slowly changed his running method and began to In the second 100-meter stage, the speed increased slightly, but the subsequent sprint point did not change much.

Warina ran into the corner, his stride width instantly became much smaller, and the frequency of his steps also became faster. It is Varina's technical characteristic to first increase speed after entering a corner and then adjust in the middle of the corner. Often at this stage, he will rush to a higher position.

Brown, a player from the Bahamas, also entered the corner and his pace slowed down a little, which was an adjustment.

Jamaican player Blackwood entered the corner directly in a sprint state, and did not slow down, but became faster. He uses a mid-term running method. He will take the lead between 200 meters and 300 meters, but he will lack physical strength in the last 100 meters.

But his compatriot Simpson slowed down after entering the corner. He began to adjust his body and prepare for the final 100 meters of sprint.

The excitement of the 400-meter dash lies in the choice of different tactical running methods. No one knows who the champion will be before the final sprint. The first athlete to enter the final straight track may become the last one in the game; many times the second, third or fourth athlete to enter the final straight track is the final winner.

As the athletes enter the second corner, the different tactical running methods chosen by each person gradually become apparent, and the distance difference between the front and back of the starting position will gradually be smoothed out. At the moment of entering the final straight line, , the distance traveled by the athletes is the same, and the person who enters the final straight track first is obviously the leader.

At 250 meters, halfway through the curve, Varina slowed down slightly. He began to adjust, but in fact this adjustment process was extremely short. He would launch a sprint before entering the final straight. When he entered the straight, he was already Completely sped up.

In comparison, Harris of the United States, Brown of the Bahamas, and Taylor of Canada have also begun to choose to sprint. The advantage of the Jamaican Blackwood was gradually eroded, and Simpson also began to fall behind.

However, Zhang Guan's rhythm still didn't change at all. He was running unhurriedly. Although he was on the outermost lane at this time, it could be seen that several athletes on the inner lane were already running alongside him, or He had already run ahead of him, which meant that Zhang Guan was lagging behind.

"It seems that our world's number one flyer is not good at running 400 meters! But we still have to congratulate him, after all, he is the first athlete to participate in two events at the same time in the Golden League!"

At this time, Zhang Guan is still the "achievement player" in the eyes of ordinary viewers.
