All-round Athlete

Chapter 197 The Deceitful Schedule

Zhang Guan followed Powell's voice, and saw a black young man taller than himself. He was very thin, but very strong, and looked very young. He was not as old as Powell, but he smiled and showed his mouth White teeth are all the same.

"Sure enough, it's Bolt!" Zhang Guan thought to himself, and at the same time he looked at Bolt carefully, and found that Bolt's appearance hadn't changed much except for being thinner.

"Unexpectedly, I met Bolt so soon! There are still two years left before the next Olympic Games. Now Bolt should only be a 200-meter athlete, and he has not started to practice the 100-meter sprint." Information about Bolt appeared in Zhang Guan's mind.

On the opposite side, Powell waved his hand at Bolt, gesturing for Bolt to come over, and at the same time said to Zhang Guan: "His name is Usain Bolt, and his specialty is the 200-meter sprint. Our entire Jamaican team knows it. He is your loyal fan, even the dormitory is covered with your posters!"

"Bolt is my fan?" Zhang Guan suddenly felt dizzy. In his previous life, during the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang Guan regarded Bolt as his idol. Unexpectedly, there is a position change now. Zhang Guancheng Bolt's idol.

Seeing Zhang Guan and Powell sitting together, Bolt recalled Powell's ugly face just now, and didn't dare to come over immediately, but when Powell waved to him, Bolt immediately rushed over at a trot.

"Yosein, haven't you always wanted to know Zhang Guan? Today I introduced Zhang Guan to you." Powell said as he picked up the buffet tray: "Eat slowly, I'll go back and rest first."

But just two steps away, Powell turned around again and said, "I suddenly remembered that you have signed up for the long jump competition! I suggest you take a look at the schedule of this competition. It seems to be quite unfavorable to you."

...

Bolt seemed very excited. The natural optimism and natural enthusiasm of the Jamaicans were brought into full play by Bolt, which made Zhang Guan very uncomfortable.

"During the Athens Olympics, I watched your game on TV. I saw you beat Gatlin, Green, and Powell, and then won the championship and broke the world record! At that time, I dreamed It’s a day to compete with you on the same stage! But the coach does not allow me to practice the 100-meter sprint. Fortunately, you participated in the 200-meter race in this Athletics World Cup, and I can finally compete with you!” Bolt was beaming Said.

"Didn't you practice 100 meters?" Zhang Guan asked for confirmation.

Bolt immediately replied: "The coach said that if I can win a medal in this Athletics World Cup, I will be allowed to try 100 meters. But my teammates said that I am not suitable for 100 meters. They think I am too I am tall and too thin, not like a 100-meter athlete, they think I should be more suitable for running 400 meters."

"How do you know if you are suitable if you don't try it?" Zhang Guan said.

"Yes, that's what I thought too!" Bolt suddenly became more elated: "I was thinking that your original special event was the 100-meter sprint, but you can beat Wariner in the 400-meter event and break Johnson's world. record. As a 200-meter athlete, I should also try the 100-meter sprint."

"Uh..." Zhang Guan suddenly smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that he would run 400 meters, and he would strengthen Bolt's confidence in practicing 100 meters. This is tantamount to cultivating a strong opponent for himself. I don't know if it's good or bad.

...

After the meal, Zhang Guan remembered that Powell said that the schedule was not good for him, so he immediately looked for the track and field World Cup schedule. After a closer look, it was indeed very bad for him.

The competition started on September 16, Athens time, and among the four events that Zhang Guan participated in, the first was the long jump event, which started at 19:35. Then there was the men's 100m final at 19:40, and the difference between the two events was only 5 minutes. Counting the preparation time, warm-up time, playing time, etc. of the athletes, these two events can be said to overlap in time.

The next men's 400m final will be held at 20:00. But at this time, the long jump final must still be in progress, that is to say, the 400-meter competition and the long jump competition also overlap.

In addition, the 100-meter and 400-meter races are separated by only 20 minutes, which means that Zhang Guan needs to complete the three events in half an hour.

"What the hell kind of schedule is this? It's clear that it's cheating me! Although the 20 minutes between the 100m and 400m is a bit short, it doesn't really matter to me, but there is also a long jump final in the middle, and I don't know how to split , this is a little troublesome." Zhang Guan murmured silently in his heart.

"According to the rules of the competition, in the long jump competition, if an athlete participates in other competitions at the same time or is late due to an unexpected situation, with the referee's permission, he can be the last one to appear on the stage. If it is not possible, he can apply to the referee for last. However, if it is too late for the final appearance, this round of trial jumps will be regarded as a failure. From this point of view, among the six trial jumps in the competition, I may have to give up one or two, or even three! And I We must also ensure a promotion to the top eight in the first three jumps!"

"In jumping competitions, every opportunity to try jumps is extremely precious. If there are fewer attempts than other competitors, the disadvantage is really a bit big, so I must make full use of every try jump. But The strength of the opponent is not weak, that Saladino of Panama can jump 8 meters 7 is a strong man, it seems that the strength of the long jump needs to be strengthened."

Zhang Guan took a deep breath, then entered the system's virtual mall, and found long jump shoes in the shoes column.

"10 skill points, buy a long jump shoe, after equipping this long jump shoe in the system, the strength of the long jump will definitely be further improved!" Zhang Guan thought silently.

In track and field events, different events require different shoes, such as running shoes and long jump shoes. Although they are all nail shoes, there are still differences. Generally speaking, running shoes are lighter than long jump shoes, but long jump shoes have better shock absorption than running shoes, and long jump shoes have thicker heels and pay more attention to ankle protection.

At the same time, in terms of the nails on the soles, the two are also different. Running shoes have spikes on the forefoot, while jumping shoes have spikes on the front and back of the foot, and running shoes generally use thin spikes, while jumping shoes use round spikes. In the actual competition, according to the difference of the athlete's take-off foot and the difference of technical characteristics, the number of nails on the sole is also arranged differently.

Of course, the long jump shoes in the system are not that complicated. After all, they are just a virtual item equipped in the system, not real objects. Therefore, under the judgment of the system, the equipped jump shoes only enhance the effect of jumping sports.

...

On September 16, the 10th Athletics World Cup officially kicked off.

Surprisingly, the Asian team actually won the first gold medal in the Athletics World Cup. The gold medal was won by Japanese hammer thrower Hiroharu Murofushi, who won the gold medal in the men's hammer throw with a score of 82.01 meters. The World Hammer Throw Champion came in second with 80 meters.

Subsequently, the shot put, pole vault, high jump, 400-meter hurdles, and 1500-meter competitions were carried out one after another, and the medals began to be distributed to each participating team. For example, the American Clement won the championship of the 400-meter hurdles and the first place in the shot put It was Ralph of the European team, and the men's 1500m champion was won by Alex of the African team.

In the studio, the host and guests are discussing the just-concluded women's 100-meter race. In the women's 100-meter race, Jamaican female trapeze Simpson won the championship with an overwhelming advantage.

"Simpson's condition looks very good. There is no suspense for this women's 100m champion! Simpson has also won four victories in this year's Golden League, and is only one step away from the final gold award. But her two This loss was all thanks to Marion Jones. I think if Marion Jones hadn’t retired, Simpson might not have won the gold medal so easily!” said a guest commentator.

Another guest next to him continued: "I never thought that Marion Jones would be involved in a doping scandal again after only three months since his comeback. If it is true this time, he might be banned for life." !"

"Okay, thank you for your post-match comments." The host obviously didn't want to talk too much about the doping issue, but brought the topic back to the game, and then said: "Now we are focusing on the long jump field. It is the final of the men's long jump event. There are a total of 14 contestants participating in the long jump competition of the Athletics World Cup, which is two more than the number of participants in the World Athletics Championships or the Olympic Games. However, the rules are still the same, and each contestant tries to jump three times. Finally, the top eight players can try jumping three more times! I think that with two more players, the competition should be more cruel and intense!"

In the World Athletics Championships or the Olympic Games, due to the large number of competitors, the long jump event will give priority to qualifying competitions, and most of the competitors will be eliminated first, leaving the twelve athletes with the best results to enter the finals. In the long jump competition of today's Athletics World Cup, there were only 14 athletes participating, which was only two more than normal. When converted to the competition time, it was only five minutes longer. There was no need to hold a special qualifying competition.

As the host's voice fell, the order of appearance of the athletes appeared on the broadcast screen.

"What you see below is the order of appearance of the contestants. I think there is one contestant in this list that everyone did not expect, and he is Zhang Guan! Our sprint king!" The host's voice was very timely It has improved a few points.

"It's really unbelievable that Zhang Guan actually wants to participate in four events, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and long jump! To be honest, I really look forward to Zhang Guan's participation in the long jump competition, but maybe we can't be here today. I saw Zhang Guan's demeanor in the long jump." The guest said immediately.

"Why?" The host asked cooperatively.

"Look at the race schedule! The long jump competition happens to be between the 100-meter sprint and the 400-meter sprint. The competition time completely conflicts. I think Zhang Guan will definitely give up the long jump competition!"
