All-round Athlete

Chapter 746: New Skill Launched

The trials had already been expected by Zhang Guan. After learning that the trials would be held, Zhang Guan immediately agreed, and then rushed to the ice training base in the northeast without stopping.

The training locations for different sports of the national team are different. For example, figure skating is mainly trained in the Capital Gymnasium in the capital, while short track speed skating athletes spend most of their time training at the ice training base in Ice City.

Short track speed skating and speed skating are two different events. The track, equipment, rules, and even the details of the skates used in the two events are different. First of all, in terms of venues, speed skating uses a runway with a circumference of 400 meters, which is composed of two straight tracks and two arcs. From the inside diameter alone, it is similar to a track and field field; while short track speed skating uses a track of 30 meters by 60 meters. meters, the length of a single lap is only 111.12 meters, which is much smaller than the speed skating venue. Many people call speed skating "the avenue" and short track speed skating the "trail".

In terms of rules, speed skating is divided into lanes. During the competition, there are two teams. One is in the inner lane and the other is in the outer lane. Skating on the outer track, and skating on the inner track for the outer track, this method is used to ensure that the two athletes slide out the same distance.

Short-track speed skating runs regardless of lanes. After the start, athletes can surpass the former at any time. This is a bit like the middle-distance running competition in track and field, but the speed is faster, the venue is smaller, and the viewing aspect is more exciting.

In terms of sports equipment, the skates for short track speed skating are long and thin, and for the convenience of cornering, the skates are not fixed in the middle of the sole, but have a certain inclination angle. Generally speaking, the left and right skates are inclined to the left by about 15 degrees. The skates of speed skating have only one fixed point, which is the "slipper type". During the competition, the athletes' heels are often separated from the skates; while the skates of figure skating have sawtooth and grooves.

The ice blades of short track speed skating are very sharp, especially in high-speed sports, the ice blades can easily cut through the human skin. If the aorta is cut, it is not impossible to cause death. Therefore, athletes must wear protective gear during the competition. The protective clothing used by short-track speed skaters is made of special fibers. The raw materials are the same as those used in bulletproof vests. Under normal circumstances, ice skates cannot be cut. Gloves, neck guards, knee pads, and helmets are also required.

The gloves are also made of special materials, because short-track speed skating slides counterclockwise, athletes must use their left hand to support the ground when cornering, so the fingers of the left hand of the glove have also undergone special treatment.

In order to participate in the trials, Zhang Guan also bought two sets of equipment. The price of the equipment is not cheap. A set of equipment costs more than 200,000 yuan from head to toe, and the equipment of the national team must be customized according to each person's situation, so the price will vary. higher.

...

On the plane flying to Bingcheng, Zhang Guan seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he was examining the skills related to short track speed skating in the system.

This year Zhang Guan has been participating in the Formula One race, and this race can also get skill points.

The first player in the qualifying match can get 1 skill point, the champion of the main match can get 1 skill point, and the champion who wins both the qualifying match and the main match can get an additional skill point, that is to say, one game can get at most 3 skill points. This is equivalent to winning a world championship in track and field. Considering that the entry threshold for F1 is much more difficult than that of the world-class track and field grand prix, Zhang Guan feels that 3 skill points for a racing competition are not too many. Calculated in this way, Zhang Guan's 14 victories are only about 20 skill points.

However, starting with three consecutive victories, each victory will get an additional skill point, and starting with five consecutive victories, it will be an additional two skill points. Zhang Guan has won a total of eight consecutive victories and one six consecutive victories, so Gained an additional 16 skill points. At the same time, he broke Schumacher's two records of seven consecutive victories in the season and thirteen wins in the season, and gained 4 skill points each. Therefore, Zhang Guan has earned more than 40 skill points after being busy for more than half a year. This is enough for Zhang Guan to improve his short track speed skating skills to the master level.

"Ice skating sprint, skating curve sprint, and skating incomplete sprint activation. These three skills have similar effects to track and field skills. The ice and snow tumbler skill increases the body's balance ability in ice and snow sports. The name of this skill is quite nice. Learn The ability to maintain balance in ice and snow sports can be increased by 100% to the master level. The most feared thing in ice and snow sports is falling, so you must learn the master level. Short track speed skating skills, which are special skills for short track speed skating .Short track speed skating hedgehog skills? This is the magic skill of short track speed skating!"

Zhang Guan carefully read the description of this skill. The basic level can nullify the opponent's interference, the intermediate level can bounce the interference back to the opponent, and the advanced level can not only nullify the opponent's interference, but also bounce the interference back to the opponent. The interference referred to here includes inadvertent touches by opponents, as well as deliberate fouls.

Short track speed skating is a non-lane sport, and it is normal for athletes to have physical contact during the competition. In middle and long-distance running in track and field sports, athletes will have occasional physical contact, while in faster short-track speed skating, physical contact can be said to be completely unavoidable.

There are clear regulations on physical contact between athletes in the rules. It is considered a foul to intentionally obstruct, push, pull, hit, or block other athletes with any part of the body. However, the situation of the game is ever-changing, and everyone is moving at high speed. In many cases, the referee needs to watch the slow-motion replay to accurately determine whether there is a foul. Sometimes athletes play tricks, the movement range is very small or very hidden, and the referee may not be able to spot it on the spot.

In order to win, individual countries will even sacrifice one of them to fulfill their teammates. For example, the South Korean team, if more than two players enter the finals, in order to ensure the final gold medal, one person will sacrifice intentional fouls to create interference for the opponent and ensure that the other person wins the gold medal.

Due to the high speed of short-track speed skating, in many cases, only a slight push of the shoulder or a slight pull of the arm is enough to affect the speed of the opponent and change the outcome of the game. Therefore, short track speed skating is not only a competition of skills and speed, sometimes intentional fouls are also a way to win.

Zhang Guan’s short-track speed skating hedgehog skill, after learning the master level, can not only ignore interference, but also bounce back the opponent’s interference, for example, if the opponent pushes you, you are not affected by anything, but the one who pushes you Instead, he fell down. It's really like a hedgehog, don't touch me, anyone who touches me will get hurt.

There are a lot of information to check for the new project, and I don’t want to make loopholes to pass the test, so I wasted time, sorry.
