All-round Athlete

Chapter 218 How He Did It

Entering the final sprint, Zhang Guan's physical exertion is much less than other athletes, and he can also display a faster sprint speed.

Coach Virgil's eyes widened in surprise. In his decades of coaching career, he has never seen an athlete who can show such a fast speed in the final sprint.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple! I don't think it's that simple! As a sprinter, Zhang Guan has the confidence to participate in the middle-distance running competition. He really has something to rely on. Being able to have such a fast sprint speed in the final stage, this Apart from Zhang Guan, I have never seen anyone else in the world who can do it, and just based on this, Zhang Guan is enough to become the world's top middle-distance runner." While thinking about it, Coach Virgil couldn't help but look at it. He looked at Ramz next to him.

Ahed Ramzi, the middle-running double champion of the World Championships, had an unprecedentedly dignified expression at this time. Coach Virgil could even feel the panic and anxiety deep in Ramzi's heart.

Virgil once again focused his attention on the arena, only to find that the situation on the arena had changed again.

"Oops! Carmel, he's being chased!"

...

Since being overtaken by Zhang Guan, Carmel has been following closely behind Zhang Guan. There were several times when Carmel wanted to launch an overtake, but he didn't find the opportunity until he was about to enter the final sprint, and Zhang Guan suddenly entered the first place. Four ways.

"Zhang Guan is going off track! Great opportunity, speed up and overtake him!" Carmel was just about to sprint, but found that Zhang Guan had started to speed up one step earlier.

"Is Zhang Guan going to sprint too? What's going on? Why is Zhang Guan so fast!"

Zhang Guan's acceleration is obviously much faster than that of Carmel, and the peak speed is beyond Carmel's cognition.

It was Carmel's stupefied effort, followed by Iran's Mudira and Japan's Kobayashi Shikazu also started the final sprint. The explosive power of these two players seemed very strong, especially the Japanese player Kobayashi Shikazu, who was very strong. Quickly caught up with Carmel.

Of course, Carmel would not let Kobayashi Shihe surpass, but then he found that his explosive power seemed to be unable to be fully utilized.

"Oops, did the frequent rhythm changes before consume too much energy!" Kamel could only watch as Kobayashi Shiwa surpassed himself, and Iranian player Mudila also started to keep pace with him.

...

"It's pretty good to qualify first in the group. I don't know how Carmel is doing." Ali looked at the finish line in front of him, already feeling a kind of joy of victory in his heart.

Abela-Mansour-Ali, formerly known as John Yego, changed his name in order to become a Bahraini citizen. This player, who does not know his real age, is running in the first place at this time, and successfully advanced to the As far as Ali is concerned, there is no problem, and the position of the group leader seems to be about to be embraced by Ali.

Suddenly, exclamations mixed with boos suddenly sounded from the auditorium in the arena.

"What's going on? Why are there boos?" Although Ali was a little puzzled, he was sure that the boos were not for himself.

"Did something happen to Najim?" Ali immediately thought of Bashar Najim behind him. Then Ali quickly looked back, only to see Zhang Guan's figure getting closer.

"It's Zhang Guan, he surpassed Najim!" Ali realized why the audience booed. Najim is a player from Qatar. As the host player of the home game, he was surpassed by Zhang Guan, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the audience. .

"Remember that Zhang Guan was ranked fourth before, and now he can surpass Najim who is second, which shows that Zhang Guan did a good job in the last sprint. He is the fastest man in the world. It should be a good sprint." Ali commented silently in his heart, and at the same time he looked sideways at Zhang Guan, wanting to see how far Zhang Guan was from himself, but was surprised to find that Zhang Guan was already keeping pace with him.

"When did you catch up! You were clearly behind me just now!"

...

"Crossed the line! Zhang Guan crossed the line first, followed by Ali from Bahrain and Najim from Cartel in third, followed by Savin from Saudi Arabia, Shiwa Kobayashi from Japan, and Muhammad from Iran. Dila. Carmel, the champion of the 800-meter event in the Athletics World Cup, is in seventh place. It is a pity that he did not qualify for the final! This is really a big upset."

At the finish line, Carmel's face was very ugly. Although his best event was not 1500 meters, he never expected that he would be blocked from the gate of the final in the Asian Games.

"Damn it, if it wasn't for changing the rhythm continuously and consuming too much energy, I wouldn't be caught up by the Iranians in the final sprint! It's all because of Zhang Guan!" Kamel gave Zhang Guan a vicious look, although he knew I was self-defeating this time, but I still blamed Zhang Guan for the failure.

"Tomorrow there will be an 800-meter preliminaries, which is my strongest sport, and I will definitely write you a try!" Carmel had just made up his mind, but suddenly remembered that in tomorrow's 800-meter preliminaries, he and Zhang Guan is not in the same group.

"Well, Zhang Guan, it seems that I need to pray that you can enter the 800-meter final and the 800-meter preliminaries. You have to run well and make it to the final. Don't let me down!"

...

In the second round of the 1,500-meter preliminaries, Ramzi, the Bahraini runner and world champion in middle-distance running, won the first place without any suspense. However, the comprehensive strength of this group of players is obviously not as good as that of the first group, and they did not appear What an upset.

After the 1500m preliminaries, Zhang Guan had an hour to rest before participating in the men's 100m rematch.

The 100-meter rematch was divided into three groups, with a total of 24 players participating, competing for 16 promotion places, which means that two-thirds of the players can be promoted.

The players participating in the semi-finals have improved to a certain extent compared to the preliminaries. Basically, they are all athletes who can reach the Olympic B standard. Although the Olympic B standard is considered good in Asia, it is like a primary school student in Zhang Guan. So Zhang Guan once again experienced a game of abusing dishes.

After the 100-meter rematch, it was the women's 10,000-meter final. It took more time to run 25 laps, so Zhang Guan got more than two hours of rest.

There are only two final events left in the competition on December 8, one is the men's 400-meter semi-final and the other is the men's 3000-meter obstacle course final. Of course Zhang Guan will participate in the former.

Among the contestants who finally advanced to the 400-meter final, except for Zhang Guan and Japanese player Yuzo Kanamaru, the other six were all West Asian athletes from five countries: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The Indian player Matthews Binu, who had been talking a lot before the game, was finally blocked from the gate of the final.

...

In the projection hall of the hotel, coach Virgil played the video of the 1500-meter preliminaries over and over again, hoping to find Zhang Guan's flaws and find a way to deal with them.

"How could he find the rhythm of the leader in front so accurately? It can be said to be perfect!" Ramzi next to him kept muttering.

Ramzi was the double champion of middle-distance running in last year's World Athletics Championships. Both his middle-distance running skills and competition experience are among the top in the world. Of course, Ramzi is familiar with various sports rhythms in middle-distance running, but he asked himself that it is impossible to be like Like Zhang Guan, he accurately changed the rhythm to be consistent with the previous players.

Coach Virgil suddenly took out a ruler, walked to the TV, and aimed the ruler at Carmel and Zhang Guan in the picture.

"Same! The speed is the same! Damn, how did he do it!" Coach Virgil found through the ruler that although Carmel and Zhang Guan were running, the distance between them did not change at all. Carmel and Zhang Guan have exactly the same speed.

"The same rhythm! The same speed! In terms of following and running, this is simply flawless!" Virgil sighed. This situation is completely beyond Virgil's cognition.

The competition on the TV screen has entered the final stage, and the athletes have started the final sprint.

I saw Ramzi suddenly said: "Coach, I can't rush so fast!"

Virgil nodded: "I know, besides Zhang Guan, I am afraid that no one in this world can run so fast at the end of the 1500-meter race! I have heard Hart said before that Zhang Guan has a unique physical strength. As for the control method, even Wariner, who has excellent physical strength, is no match for Zhang Guan. I didn’t pay attention to it at the time, but now I think it’s really better to see it than to hear it!”

"Coach, what should I do in the finals the day after tomorrow? In terms of sprinting, I am no match for Zhang Guan." Ramzi asked.

"It's very simple, just be faster than him!" Coach Virgil showed a confident look, and then said to Ramz: "Although Zhang Guan is the king of sprinting in the world, don't forget, you are the king of mid-range running." You are the double champion of middle distance running at the World Athletics Championships, and you are the strongest middle distance runner in the world! So don’t care about other players, let alone Zhang Guan. Don’t care about his running, don’t care about his Sprint, all you need to do is lead the way to the finish line!"

"Leading all the way to the finish line?" Ramzi gasped.

"Yes!" Coach Virgil nodded seriously, and continued, "You are the strongest in the world. If possible, try to hit the 1500-meter record!"

PS: Junding has broken the 6000 mark, no nonsense, let's break out!
