All-round Athlete

Chapter 181 The Fourth Record

The athletes on the field have already merged, and eight athletes are crowded in a pile, which looks very crowded.

Li Xiangyu was in the first position after this wave of lane grabbing. The 10th National Games champion is indeed a bit higher than the other contestants. His career best time is 1:46.45, which is this result He has already entered the line of reaching the Olympic B standard. In history, he also participated in the 2008 Olympic Games with the Olympic B standard, so he has the strength to lead until the end.

The athletes entered the curve, and there will be a process of running at a constant speed, but when everyone is trying to adjust the rhythm, Li Xiangyu, who is in the leading position, starts to speed up, and his speed is obviously faster than the second place.

The runner who ranked second immediately understood that Li Xiangyu was deliberately speeding up. He wondered if Li Xiangyu deliberately set up a trap to disrupt the movement rhythm of other runners, so he began to hesitate. to catch up.

That is, during the time when the second player was hesitating, Li Xiangyu gradually stood out from the crowd and kept widening the gap. When he entered the straight again, he was already nearly ten meters ahead of the crowd.

However, Li Xiangyu was not satisfied with this. When he reached the straight track, he still continued to increase the distance from the second place according to the speed increase just now.

Li Xiangyu's leading running method is also very common in competitions. Although running like this will consume a little more energy than following, it is far ahead of other opponents. He is alone in a group and can not be disturbed by others. Run according to your own rhythm. In the 800-meter race, athletes with superior strength can easily create a good result.

At this moment, the player in second place suddenly felt the pressure increase. He was originally following, but Li Xiangyu's acceleration threw him far away, making him the actual leader of the group, so his rhythm suddenly became a little chaotic, and he was still hesitating whether to chase or follow the original Running at the same pace, another runner behind took advantage of this opportunity and overtook him along the outer edge of the track.

Zhang Guan, who was in fifth place, had a different idea in his heart.

"Li Xiangyu's strength is definitely the strongest among these players. Now he chooses to speed up and speed up, at least he can lead to the final sprint stage, but for me, I need to follow to the final sprint stage. Try to move forward as much as possible during the run, it seems that you have to find an opportunity to catch up, and run with Li Xiangyu, if the gap is widened by him, maybe you will not be able to catch up in the end!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan moved to the outer track, started to accelerate, took advantage of the straight track to overtake the other athletes, then caught up with Li Xiangyu, and began to run behind Li Xiangyu.

With Zhang Guan's speed level, it is not difficult to overtake other athletes if he has physical strength, so the whole process is clean and neat, and he has already rushed behind Li Xiangyu before the end of the straight.

The audience cheered violently, and when Li Xiangyu heard the cheers, he immediately looked behind and saw Zhang Guan chasing him.

"Who is Zhang Guan?" Li Xiangyu was shocked. Although Zhang Guan was only a rookie in the 800-meter event, and only ran a mid-level time of 1:51.07 in the previous preliminaries, there is an old saying It's called "the shadow of a famous tree". After all, Zhang Guan is the number one flying man in the world. This status alone puts a lot of pressure on Li Xiangyu invisibly.

Li Xiangyu immediately became focused. He maintained a good speed and rhythm, and at the same time kept paying attention to Zhang Guan behind him. Soon after, he found that Zhang Guan seemed to have no intention of surpassing himself, but was just following the rhythm.

"Is Zhang Guan just following?" Li Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next 200 meters or so, the positions of the top three remained unchanged. Li Xiangyu and Zhang Guan were in the front, and the other six players were more than a dozen meters behind. The players between four and seven were in the process. There is competition with each other, but the gap has not been widened.

Less than 200 meters away from the finish line, Li Xiangyu, who was in the leading position, felt a little restless.

Zhang Guan ran very close behind him. Although Zhang Guan never tried to overtake him all the way, Li Xiangyu knew that Zhang Guan must be waiting for an opportunity. When he was sprinting for the last 100 meters, a thunderbolt suddenly struck him.

Once the following runner initiates overtaking, the leader will definitely try to hold his position, just like the offense and defense in ball games, the attacker must have the upper hand. The attacker can choose when to attack, while the defender can only passively wait and then respond. In middle and long-distance running, it takes time to adjust the rhythm of the pace. It is easier to change the rhythm actively than passively, so it is something that every runner does not want to see.

"I need to be faster, and it's best to increase the distance between Zhang Guan and Zhang Guan, so that even if Zhang Guan starts to overtake, I can have a buffer time to adjust my rhythm." Li Xiangyu thought of this, and his steps were faster. up.

However, what Li Xiangyu didn't expect was that he didn't shake off Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan still followed closely behind him.

Li Xiangyu became even more irritable, but now he was about to enter the final sprint.

As soon as he entered the area of ​​the final straight, Zhang Guan suddenly moved to the second lane, and then launched the final sprint.

Li Xiangyu only felt a figure approaching from the right, and the corner of his eye told him that it was Zhang Guan.

Then, Zhang Guan surpassed Li Xiangyu, and slowly opened the distance between them.

Li Xiangyu was also sprinting, he was sprinting desperately, but even so, the gap between him and Zhang Guan was still getting bigger and bigger.

"Zhang Guan's sprinting speed is so fast! Foreigners don't have his sprinting speed." Li Xiangyu already understood in his heart that it was impossible for him to surpass this abnormal sprinting speed, but he was still unwilling to give up. He tried his best to catch up with the figure in front of him.

Zhang Guan was also sprinting with all his strength. In his mind, the time displayed by the system was getting closer and closer to 1 minute and 46 seconds.

"Hurry up, go faster! Try to run within 1 minute and 46 seconds!" Zhang Guan couldn't help encouraging himself, but the added pace seemed even heavier.

"Cross the line! Zhang Guan won the championship!"

The scene was full of jubilation. The most popular player in this field won the championship, which is what everyone most hopes to see. But Zhang Guan's face was a bit bitter, because he still failed to run within 1 minute and 46 seconds, and his final score was 1 minute, 46.11 seconds.

"It's still that the runners in front are too slow. My follow-running skills can only follow others. If Li Xiangyu can run faster, I will definitely be able to run within 1 minute and 46 seconds." Zhang Guanxin Sighed silently.

However, Zhang Guan didn't know that the coaches and athletes of the provincial teams, as well as Director Ma and Director Yu who were sitting on the rostrum, were already in shock. This result, which Zhang Guan was very dissatisfied with, has already broken the national record of the men's 800-meter race!

The national record for the 800-meter run at this time was 1:46.44 set by Mu Weiguo in the 12th Asian Games in 1994. This score has been maintained for twelve years, and now Zhang Guan has finally improved this score by 0. 33 seconds.

Breaking records in middle and long-distance running events requires more luck, because it is uncertain whether the speed of the leader is fast or slow. If the leader's speed is too slow, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to break the record. Today, although Li Xiangyu leads the way, his speed is actually not very fast. It's just that the other players are generally weaker, so it seems that Li Xiangyu is faster.

Director Ma on the rostrum saw sweat on his forehead. He wiped it with his hands, and then said, "This is a record? A national record that can only be broken by others, why is it as easy as eating a meal at Zhang Guan's place?" This is the fourth one today, breaking four records in one day, how can other athletes mess up with him playing like this!"

"The difference in strength is too great. Zhang Guan is indeed a genius. The National Athletics Championships has now become a place for Zhang Guan to set records." Director Yu seemed very calm. Witnessing Zhang Guan breaking the world record with his own eyes, of course he was not so excited about the national record.

Director Ma suddenly turned his head: "Old Yu, what do you think I should do?"

"What should I do?" Director Yu didn't understand.

"As I mentioned to you before, about the Asian Games, don't forget that this is still the trials for the Doha Asian Games." Director Ma went on to say, "Zhang Guan signed up for the 800-meter National Athletics Championships for the Asian Games He was selected. Now that he has won the championship, he will definitely ask to go to the Doha Asian Games to run the 800-meter race. But this time in the Doha Asian Games, we have no plans to send anyone to participate in the 800-meter race! Moreover, Zhang Guan participated in so many If it is a project, how can the energy be unbearable."

Director Yu nodded: "This is really a problem. If other athletes are not allowed to go, they will not be allowed to go, but Zhang Guan is very persistent. Now he has won the championship and even broke the 800-meter mark." National record, if he is not allowed to participate in the Doha Asian Games, there will definitely be dissatisfaction."

After Director Yu finished speaking, he continued: "I can't help you with this matter. I think you should report to Director Luo! Let Director Luo make up his mind."

Director Ma didn't speak, but seemed hesitant to speak. Director Yu felt that Director Ma seemed a little abnormal, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Director Ma hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "I got a gossip, but it's not very accurate. Director Luo will also be promoted."

"Gaosheng? Didn't you say before the 2008 Olympic Games?" Director Yu said.

"It seems that there has been a change. According to the original plan, Director Luo will lead the team to participate in the next Olympic Games, but the higher-ups are very satisfied with the performance of the Field Management Center in the past few years, especially Director Luo's management ability. Satisfied, the organization can focus on training him." Director Ma thought for a while, and then said: "It may not be limited to the sports system."

"Oh? Then this is good news for Director Luo. He is only in his forties now. If he can take another step forward before he turns fifty, he will have a bright future." Director Yu continued: "If director Luo gets promoted, you have to fight hard for the position of director of the field management center."

"I don't want to think about it. President Qu is the most likely to succeed Director Luo! President Qu has a lot of connections, which we can't compare with!" Director Ma said sadly.

...

After the 800-meter race, Zhang Guan has no events today. In this China Athletics Championships, Zhang Guan still has the last race to participate in, which is the 1500-meter race final on the last day.

Dozens of reporters surrounded Zhang Guan for nearly an hour, but they were still unwilling to let him go.

Zhang Guan usually does not participate in domestic competitions, and it is impossible for domestic reporters to go to Europe, so this National Athletics Championships is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for domestic sports reporters. It’s all poured out, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, Golden League, long jump, 800 meters, daily training, overseas competitions, and time with Sharapova. In short, the continuous bombardment of questions made Zhang Guan dizzy.

After all, Coach Zhou is only the coach of a provincial team, and there is no good way to face reporters from all over the country. The organizers definitely want to increase the popularity of the game, so they also let the reporters go. Coach Zhou really has no choice but to ask Ma The director asked for help, but in the end it was Director Ma who sent the staff of the field management center to pull Zhang Guan out of the crowd.

"Oh, I thought I couldn't go back tonight, I had to spend the night here!" Zhang Guan complained all the way to Director Ma and Director Yu.

"Zhang Guan, today's performance really shocked me! Three jumps, three records, no one in this world can do it except you!" Director Ma said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Ma, for your praise! Look at me, I have broken the Asian record in the long jump, and I am also the number one person in Asia in the long jump. How about helping me get a place in the long jump for this World Cup in Track and Field?" Zhang Guan said immediately.

"I knew you were going to kick your nose in the face!" Director Ma pretended to be very helpless, and then said: "But you have to think clearly, this World Cup of Track and Field has a 200-meter event, so you are not only going to participate 100 meters and 400 meters, but also to participate in the 200 meters competition, plus a long jump, is the physical strength enough?"

"No problem! Our physical strength is the best in the world!" Zhang Guan raised his thumb.

"Don't brag, you won't be able to keep up with your physical strength and lose the gold medal, and you will cry!" Director Ma continued: "It shouldn't be a big problem to get a quota for the long jump. Anyway, one more person in the long jump event means an extra three or four minutes. In this way, East Asia and West Asia each have a long jump quota, which is easy to allocate, but you don't want to get quotas for other events!"

Of course Zhang Guan knew that the other events mentioned by Director Ma referred to the 800-meter race, and Zhang Guan also knew that although he had just broken the national record for the 800-meter race, this time of 1 minute and 46 seconds was the best in the world. Even in Asian competitions, it cannot be regarded as the top level. It is still very early to go to the Athletics World Cup.

Zhang Guan smiled awkwardly, and answered: "Four events are enough, and four events are four gold medals. Liu Fei will get another 110-meter hurdles, and the women's long-distance race will work harder. That's it." The Asian team will definitely not be at the bottom of the Athletics World Cup."

I'm on the night shift tonight. In February, because it had just been put on the shelf and needed to be updated, I changed the night shift with my colleagues, and I have to help them make up for it today. So today it will be updated, and it will be restored tomorrow. I lost the chain on the first day of the month, and I am also very helpless. I can't help myself in the rivers and lakes! Let's make up for it in a few days.
