At the finish line, the examiner in charge of timekeeping illuminates the chronograph in his hand, and at the same time says, "the first track, 11.45 seconds!"
"The second track, 11.30 seconds," said another examiner.
"Third track, 11.48 seconds," said the last examiner.
Zhang Guan took a breath and couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes. He was in the middle of the second track, that is to say, he scored 11.30 seconds. According to the selection criteria of the national athletes, the national second-level athletes in the 100-meter sprint of men's track and field meet the standards of 11.5 seconds by hand or 11.74 seconds by electric meter.
Zhang Guan knew that he did not have extraordinary talents in sports. According to the original process, he only reached the level of national second-level athletes in the test one year later. Ordinary people can achieve this standard through training. But now he can run within 11.30 seconds when he starts slowly, which shows that he must give the credit to the so-called "system" in his mind, especially when the effect was over, Zhang Guan obviously felt that his speed had dropped, which further explained this point.
"Novice task: use one skill to complete, unlock the time display." At the same time as the system sounded, something similar to a multi-function timing card appeared in Zhang Guan's mind.
Then a prompt pops up: "The time display can accurately show the time spent in exercise, the remaining time, the round time, etc. The specific display type changes with the type of exercise."
"What is this again?" Zhang Guan froze for a moment, carefully read the content of the prompt, and determined that this was probably a timing function.
...
In the distance, Coach Zhou of the provincial athletics team frowned as he looked at Zhang Guan at the finish line.
Coach Zhou turned his head after the old man pointed to Zhang Guan. At that time, the three candidates on the track had already started running, so Coach Zhou did not see the starting process, but afterward he saw when Zhang Guan started accelerating the process of surpassing the other two candidates. Coach Zhou has a panoramic view.
"This kid is so fast! It feels like he is a professional athlete. Hey? 11.30 seconds? How could this be? At this speed he surpassed the other two, he shouldn't be so slow!" Coach Zhou commented.
"It's not 11.30 seconds, it should be 10.30 seconds." The old man said suddenly, "He started running late, which slowed him for a second.
Coach Zhou asked in astonishment, "Teacher, do you mean that he ran 11.30 seconds after starting slowly? Can his true speed reach 10 seconds and 30?
"Yes, there is an error not exceeding 0.1 seconds." The old man said firmly.
"This is not possible. The hand gauge is 0.24 seconds slower than the electricity meter. The 10.30 second is equivalent to 10.54 seconds of the electricity meter. This is already close to the level of a national sportsman. How can he be in the test of second-level athletes? He looks like a high school student, and the national first-class athletes of high school students are also very talented, but why do I have no impression of him at all?" Coach Zhou said.
As the head coach of the provincial track and field team, the selection of young athletes is naturally one of his jobs. Therefore, for the good seedlings in the local area, Coach Zhou also has some advantages, but Zhang Guan who was in front of him is obviously a stranger to Coach Zhou.
In the men's 100-meter sprint event, the national first-level athlete's achievement score is 10.93 seconds electronically, and it is different from the second-level athlete's test and ranking method. The first-level athletes and above must achieve in the official competition, to be recognized, at the current domestic average level, among sports school students or high school students who specialize in sports, the better people can achieve this level.
However, after reaching the level of national first-class athletes, every improvement of 0.1-second is extremely difficult. Among the men's 100-meter sprint, the national athletes who achieved higher standards than first-class athletes achieved 10.50 seconds. Although the performance of first-class athletes and international sports athletes is only 0.43 seconds apart, for many athletes, this 0.43 seconds is already an insurmountable gap.
The Asian sprint level has always been at the end of the world, and the domestic sprint level can also be regarded as middle-class in Asia. In other sports, there may be national sports athletes among the high school students, but in track and field sprint events, no one under the age of 18 can reach national sports athletes level.
For this reason, Coach Zhou simply refuses to believe what Zhang Guan has just done.
"Xiao Zhou, maybe our team really picked up the treasure this time." The old man hurried forward, and then said, "Let me check this kid's information, I have to let him run again!"
...
Zhang Guan stood on the starting line again, feeling that the atmosphere around him was a bit inexplicable.
The other candidates have left, and even the original examiner at the end time has been replaced by an old man and a middle-aged person.
Recalling what happened just now, Zhang Guan felt uneasy.
The examiner of the test called him alone and asked him to run again. Zhang Guan asked whether the previous score of 11.30 seconds was valid. The examiner told him that the score of 11.30 seconds was still valid. The qualification certificate of the first-class athletes is just fine. This made Zhang Guan even more puzzled. Since the results are valid, why do I have to run again?
More importantly, when the examiner was leaving, he was still encouraging him to run well and even told him that if he ran well, maybe the university could guarantee it.
Excellent athletes can be sent to college. This is a known fact, but he has never heard of the national second-level athletes who achieved good test results and can be sent to any college.
Full of doubt, Zhang Guan stood on the runway.
In his mind, the green icon still appeared there, but now the gray color is gone and it can be used again.
"Everyone, prepare...," the starter raised the starting gun, and this time Zhang Guan did not distract himself. With a "bang" from the gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out immediately, and the moment he rushed out, Zhang Guan used the "Sprint" skill.
Zhang Guan stepped forward, and once again felt that his body became lighter and his legs were full of strength.
At the same time, the time bar that just appeared in the interface also moved with it. A timer accurate to milliseconds was constantly beating, indicating the time that Zhang Guan spent for the 100 meters this time.
In the distance, the athletes who waited for the entrance training were all focused on this, and several athletes who practiced sprint events even came to the front row to watch the game.
"This kid is so fast! Why do I feel like he is faster than me." A 400-meter athlete said.
"How could this be possible." Another person said, then he said, "He is amateur, you can see from the angle he rushed out when he started, it is completely wrong, and his pace is not good. Plus you are practicing the 400 meters, not the amateur 100 meters..."
As this man was talking, his voice was getting smaller and smaller. Obviously he felt a little guilty. Everyone is a professional athlete, but he is extremely sensitive to the speed and the passage of time. Many years of training have given them the ability to calculate time. Even if you don't have an electronic timer in your hand, you can draw time with minimal error just by feeling.
...
The sprinting skill of 10 seconds is not enough to support Zhang Guan for the entire 100 meters. At the last distance, Zhang Guan can only rely on his explosive force and inertia to cross the endpoint.
Without the support of the sprinting skills, the speed of the apparent slowdown is obvious to the naked eye.
The old man and coach Zhou each held a timer, and at the moment Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, the two stopped the timer at the same time. But when they saw the time on their timers, they immediately looked at each other's timers.
"Sure enough!"
"There is no problem with the timer!"
The two said at the same time.
At the moment, the timers in both hands show the same time: 10.38 seconds.
When they first saw this time, neither of them believed this number, so they looked at each other's timers, but when they saw the same number, they accepted this reality.
Looking at the timer in his hand, Coach Zhou forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "This is his second run. If it is calculated according to the level of a professional athlete if he ran two consecutive times in a short time. The second time, the results will inevitably decline, which means that the real-time of his first run is really 10 seconds 30!
So he really has the level of a national sportsman! I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it in person or test the speed with my own hands.
The old man nodded, "His limit is definitely not here. His explosiveness and speed are very good, but judging from his starting process and pace of rhythm, he is definitely a beginner amateur athlete, I guess he learned how to sprint for a month. And in the final stage, his speed also slowed down, the pace of the rhythm has become chaotic, and it is obvious that his physical strength is weak. Young people are physically weaker than adults, and beginners do not know how to distribute physical strength. This is normal. But if he can make such achievements, he is not only a good seedling but will also have a promising future!"
The old man said, turning his head to coach Zhou, "He is a genius, a genius we have never encountered! Anyway, we must get him to our track and field team!"
Coach Zhou nodded violently, "Teacher, you can rest assured that those who come to the second-level athletes' exams are high school students. We have a guaranteed place in the province, which is also a good thing. For this college a few of them who practice sports have good cultural achievements, this kind of guarantee qualification of this college should be able to impress him.
