All-round Athlete

Chapter 857: 10,000 meters

As soon as Zhang Guan left, Director Ma made a phone call. Not long after, a man in his fifties appeared in Director Ma's office.

This man has gray hair, long benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks quite friendly. He has the image of a positive character in a TV series.

His surname is Lu, and he is the deputy secretary-general of the Athletic Association and a department director of the Athletic Management Center.

"Old Lu is here, sit down!" When Director Ma saw this Secretary-General Lu, he immediately asked him to sit down, and then narrated the incident of Zhang Guan's visit just now.

"Long-distance running? Nonsense, this is simply nonsense!" Secretary-General Lu showed a heartbroken look.

From the perspective of the field management center, it is indeed a nonsense for Zhang Guan to run a long-distance race instead of the sprint gold medal he is sure to win. As a member of the field management center, Secretary-General Lu is naturally from the perspective of the field management center to consider the problem.

"For young people, it is normal to act impulsively, and as a management department, it is also necessary for us to guide the athletes correctly." Director Ma said with a smile.

Secretary-General Lu nodded. If it was another athlete, the field management center would issue an order directly, and the athlete would definitely not dare to disobey. But Zhang Guan is different, fame and strength are all there, so the Field Management Center can only adopt a more moderate approach, which is the so-called "guidance" in Director Ma's mouth.

"I think so. Let Zhang Guan participate in a long-distance running competition. Maybe his results will be good, but it is definitely impossible to achieve the dominance of sprinting. At that time, we will persuade him and let him know how to participate Long-distance running can’t be difficult, so let him retreat. We eliminate his long-distance running thoughts in advance, and can also practice sprinting without distraction. This is also very beneficial for us to go to London.” Director Ma said, looking Looking at Secretary-General Lu, he continued: "Old Lu, when it comes to ideological work in our center, you must be the one to do it! So this time I want to ask you to help."

"No problem, this matter is on me!" Secretary-General Lu said, patting his chest.

Secretary-General Lu is a cadre who has been transferred from the army. He used to be an instructor in the army. Doing ideological work is his housekeeping skill. In Lu's opinion, persuading a young man with his own skills is not easy.

"Next, Zhang Guan will participate in the first round of the National Athletics Grand Prix, so this time, I would like to trouble you to travel a long way to represent our center to attend the National Athletics Grand Prix. You can also find a suitable time by the way. Advise Zhang Guan." Director Ma said.

...

Zhang Guan had already expected that he would encounter obstacles in participating in the long-distance running competition, but he did not expect that the obstacles would be so great. At least Director Ma's refusal was so firm, which made Zhang Guan feel a lot of pressure.

Director Ma was also forced to rush by the gold medal. In the last Olympic Games, Zhang Guan alone won 8 gold medals for the field management center, but this year, Zhang Guan can only participate in 3 track and field events at most, that is, only 3 gold medals are included in the account. Therefore, in Director Ma's view, Zhang Guan must choose the safest sprint, and the most correct thing to do is to securely hold the three gold medals in his hands.

As for long-distance running, even if Zhang Guan has the strength to participate in the Olympics, he may not be able to win the gold medal. Comparing the two, whether it is the field management center or even a higher level, it is bound to hope that Zhang Guan will participate in the sprint event.

Originally, Zhang Guan thought that if he casually ran an Olympic B standard result, he could meet the standards for participating in the Olympic Games, and he could participate in the competition, but now it seems that an Olympic B standard result obviously cannot impress Director Ma and the Tianguan Center. .

"Olympic A standard? It's not enough." Zhang Guan shook his head silently.

The Olympic A standard for long-distance running is out of reach for Chinese athletes and even Asian athletes, but it is not a big deal in the world. Countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya have long-distance runners who can reach the Olympic A standard. Grab a handful. A player who has qualified for the Olympic A standard, if he is placed in the Olympic Games, he may be caught by the Ethiopians.

"It seems that you have to run a sufficiently amazing result, and it is a gold medal-level result, to have a chance to be released by the field management center!" Thinking of this, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly.

...

The National Athletics Grand Prix is ​​held every year. This year's National Athletics Grand Prix has a total of five competitions. The first four stations are sub-stations, and the last one is the finals.

Since this year is the Olympic year, for track and field athletes, if they can meet the Olympic competition standards in any of the National Athletics Grand Prix, they have the hope of going to London to participate in the Olympic Games, so this year's National Athletics Grand Prix is ​​particularly lively.

The contestants had already arrived in the city where the competition was located two days in advance, and those contestants who hoped to qualify for the Olympic Games were the focus of everyone's attention.

"Have you heard? Zhang Guan is here this time!"

"I've known it for a long time. Zhang Guan didn't really participate in the track and field competition last year. I guess he came here to get an Olympic result!"

"The IAAF's restriction that an athlete can only participate in three track and field events is aimed at Zhang Guan. Which three events do you think Zhang Guan will choose?"

"It must be sprinting, his sprinting is so strong!"

"Hehe, you're wrong. I just heard that Zhang Guan's registration event is long-distance running, 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters!"

"What? Long-distance running? How is this possible? A sprinter goes for a long-distance run, can he run down?"

"When you said that, I remembered it. There was a news report a few days ago that Zhang Guan had won a triathlon Asian championship. In the triathlon, there was a 10-kilometer long-distance run, right? Exactly 10,000 meters!"

"So Zhang Guan can really run long-distance running!"

"With Zhang Guan's physical fitness, running 10,000 meters is a piece of cake. The key is the result. As far as I know, for the 10 kilometers in the triathlon, it is considered very fast to run for 30 minutes, but you can run 10,000 meters on the field. It takes 28 minutes and 05 seconds to reach the Olympic B standard! Among other things, no one in our country can reach this minimum standard!"

Everyone fell into silence for a while. In the Olympic Games four years ago, the 10,000-meter B standard was still 28 minutes and 10 seconds, and no Chinese athlete could reach it. Now it has been improved by 5 seconds, and no one can reach the standard.

I just heard the person continue to say: "Even if Zhang Guan can run to 28 points, will the field management center allow him to participate in the long-distance running of the Olympics? No one can achieve 28 points in China, but in the international arena, The countdown is certain, and the field management center is not a fool, let Zhang Guan run a long-distance race with the countdown instead of the gold medal in the sprint?"

"Maybe Zhang Guan's long-distance running ability will be very strong? Don't forget that Zhang Guan has never lost since his debut!" Someone said unconvinced.

"I think so too. Since Zhang Guan dares to participate in the long-distance running, he must be relying on him! Maybe there will be a good show at that time!"

...

In the domestic track and field competition, Zhang Guan is like a god. His appearance will inevitably attract the attention of all athletes and coaches, even if he is participating in a long-distance race this time.

No one can guess exactly what Zhang Guan's plan is to start long-distance running instead of sprinting and middle-distance running at the world record level. Many people put on a gesture of watching the show, and some conspiracy theorists even believed that there was another conflict between Zhang Guan and the Athletic Association.

In the middle of the rostrum, Secretary-General Lu half-closed his eyes, looking at Zhang Guan at the starting line.

"You're still too young, you're uncertain, think about it! Every gold medal in the Olympic Games is extremely important. How can this kind of thing be a joke? How can I make you fool around. After the game is over, let me enlighten you Guide you!"

At this time, Secretary-General Lu had already prepared a set of "persuasion" plans. When Zhang Guan finished the race, he would personally go over to comfort Zhang Guan with a "friendly face", and then persuade Zhang Guan to "get back from the wrong way" and embark on the sprint course. the right path.

...

At the starting line, the men's 10,000-meter race is about to begin.

The National Grand Prix has two competition days, so the two robe events will naturally be held in two days, so that the players can recover their strength.

In the men's gown event, there are not many domestic competitors, and even in the 10,000-meter race, even in the Olympic Games, there are thirty or forty competitors running together. Therefore, no matter what the preliminary round, the semi-finals, all the contestants run together, and the winner will be determined in one game, and this will also lead to a relatively large gap in strength between the contestants.

Zhang Guan set the speed of the "fixed speed run" to 22.22 kilometers per hour. At this speed, Zhang Guan will complete the 10,000-meter race in 27 minutes.

For 10,000 meters, the national record is 28 minutes and 08 seconds, so if Zhang Guan can run for 27 minutes, it means that he is more than 1 minute faster than the national record!

Of course, the national record of 10,000 meters does not even reach the Olympic B standard, and it is not comparable to the international level.

So it will be more intuitive to use another data to compare. In the 2008 Olympic Games, Bekele, the king of long-distance running, won the 10,000-meter gold medal with an Olympic record-breaking result, and this result was 27 minutes and 01 seconds! At that time, Bekele was the best and won the gold medal with a clear lead.

So if Zhang Guan can run to 27 minutes, it is equivalent to an Olympic gold medal!
