In the studio, Michael Johnson frowned.
"Why hasn't Zhang Guan raised the speed yet? If he doesn't raise the speed at this time, I'm afraid that he will lose 1 second in the last 100 meters. What kind of running is this? Although the performance in speed is quite good It's not rough. If you run like this, Zhang Guan's final score will exceed 46 seconds! Or it will be slower. He ran into 44.50 seconds before. An athlete of this level can't run more than a gap of 1.5 seconds."
Johnson suddenly remembered the previous 100-meter sprint battle, and then thought, "Is it the physical cause? The previous game consumed a lot of Zhang Guan's physical strength, so now he can't rush even if he wants to sprint? If that is the case, then it's a pity!"
Although the rhythm-free running method can save physical strength, in this high-level confrontation, if there is no advantage in the early stage and the sprint time is too late, the problem is not to win or lose the game, but to how much time was lost.
Zhang Guan's current situation is that there is no advantage in the early stage, and the sprint time is relatively late. According to the normal rhythm, everyone can already start to guess how many seconds Zhang Guan will lose.
260 meters, 270 meters, 280 meters. At this time, Jamaican Simpson began to speed up the sprint. Simpson still uses the more traditional running method, sprinting on the first straight track, slowing down after entering the curve and starting to adjust. Athletes who normally choose to sprint in the second corner will spend about 10.7 seconds from 200 meters to 300 meters, while Simpson will spend more than 11.5 seconds in this distance. However, after adjustment, he will run faster than other athletes in the final 100-meter sprint, which can make up for the previous disadvantages and even complete the overtaking at the last moment. The faster the athlete's speed, the stronger the explosive power, the greater the power of using this running method.
Simpson's position is still in front of Zhang Guan. He made a sprint after entering the first straight and gained an advantage of about 0.3 seconds in that distance. In the subsequent corner adjustment, his advantage was not only that other athletes evened out, but they were overtaken by a lot. But compared to the constant rhythm of Zhang Guan, Simpson still has an advantage of 0.3 seconds.
Finally, Zhang Guan also-ran to a position of about 280 meters, he decisively withdrew the "incomplete sprint activation" skill and began to sprint with all his strength.
In the past, Zhang Guan chose to start sprinting after 300 meters, but today Zhang Guan uses a physical potion, and his physical strength is more abundant, so he chose to sprint in advance.
"Why is he speeding up now? It's too late! The gap opened is too big, and it's impossible to catch up with the last 100 meters. He lacks physical strength, so the sprint point is much late!" Michael Johnson sighed.
In the last 100 meters, the best athletes in the world can run within 11.5 seconds. Zhang Guan currently has a gap of more than 1 second with leading athletes, so Zhang Guan must run extremely close to 10 seconds in the last 100 meters. To be able to complete the overtake. In the 400-meter sprint event, by the last 100 meters, the athletes have exhausted their physical strength, and it is impossible to run close to 10 seconds.
At the forefront, it wasn't Varina who first entered the straight runway, but Christopher Brown of the Bahamas. Behind Brown, Harris of the United States and Taylor of Canada entered the straight at almost the same time.
Whoever enters the final straight will be the leader. The current situation is that Brown is ahead of Varina, followed by Harris and Taylor.
Although behind, Varina did not panic at all. He has encountered this situation too many times. He is still inferior to black athletes in speed and explosiveness. Even if he is very skilled, he rarely took the lead when entering the last straight runway, but he could maintain a very high speed during the last sprint of the straight runway. This is his best weapon and the most powerful weapon, so he overtook in the final sprint, and achieving a great lead from others across the finish line is his specialty.
Varina began to sprint. Although his pace frequency can not be said to be very fast, he has been able to maintain a faster rhythm. He slowly caught up with Brown and kept pace with him, slowly surpassing him. And then pulled away.
"Wow... oh!" At this moment, the long audience suddenly exclaimed, followed by a tumbling cheer.
"I surpassed Brown and now I am first. The audience is cheering for me! Cheers to me!" Varina thought. Varina felt that the exclamation was for him to surpass Brown, and the cheers were cheering for his upcoming championship!
"Jeremy, don't stop, accelerate! Accelerate! Use the fastest speed! He's going to catch up!" Coach Hart shouted wildly at Varina, but the audience's voice was too noisy, Varina didn't even hear Coach Hart's shouts.
Who is the "he" that coach Hart said? Of course, it is Zhang Guan!
At 280 meters, Zhang Guan began to accelerate, and when he entered the straight runway, the speed he showed was no longer possible to achieve in the 400-meter project.
Then he easily surpassed the previous athletes, then quickly approached the next person, and then completed the surpass.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone did not react. The audience who were originally concerned about Varina suddenly saw a figure popping up behind them, much faster than the others, and involuntarily exclaimed, and when Zhang Guan surpassed one athlete after another, the most exciting scene was staged, which made the audience cheer. So the cheers just now were not given to Varina, the audience cheered for Zhang Guan.
But all of this was invisible, as Varina was running at the front.
Michael Johnson in the studio widened his eyes, even if he is the world record holder of 200 meters and 400 meters, even if he is a legendary flying man, even if he has many years of a sports career, even if he has been standing in the peak of the world for the longest time, but he still can't understand how Zhang Guan was able to explode so fast in the last moment.
In a 200-meter sprint, if an athlete can run within 20 seconds, the time he spends in the next 100 meters is about 9.7 seconds, and Zhang Guan's current speed is about 200 meters for an Olympic B athlete. The speed of 100 meters in the back, that is to say, Zhang Guan is currently using the sprint speed of 200 meters to sprint for 400 meters.
"How could he be so fast? But he ran so slowly to 300 meters. Didn't he consume physical strength in front of him? If I can still run at this speed in the end, maybe I can run to 42 seconds!" Johnson couldn't help himself.
It was not just Michael Johnson who was surprised. All the athletes and coaches who watched the game were surprised. No one had ever been able to run this speed in the final sprint of 400 meters. Everyone was stunned.
The first to wake up was Coach Hart. He instantly realized that if Zhang Guan sprinted at this speed, he might eventually catch up with Varina, so he shouted immediately to remind Varina to speed up.
...
Jamaican veteran Blackwood is the slowest athlete in the last 100 meters. He has just been surpassed by his fellow Simpson. When he lamented that the years were not forgiving, another figure swayed from the right.
"What is it? It's a person!" Blackwood didn't see it for a while, then he fixed his eyes and found out that it was Zhang Guan who had just passed, and Zhang Guan had already caught up with Simpson.
After adjusting in the corner, Simpson's physical condition is much better than that of other athletes. He has just surpassed Blackwood easily and is preparing to pursue the previous athletes. But at this moment, someone on the right suddenly passed.
"Who is it? Zhang Guan! Why is he so fast?" Simpson's mind suddenly went blank.
Blackwood, Simpson, Harris, Taylor ... Zhang Zhang surpassed one athlete after another and finally caught up with the second Bahamian star Christopher Brown.
There have been several encounters between Brown and Varina, but Brown has never beaten Varina. This time Brown participated in the Golden League, he hoped that he could defeat Varina. In the first half of the game, he maintained a good state, even before entering the final straight, he was leading, but after that, he was still overtaken by Varina.
"Come on! Don't stop! Hurry up! Catch up with Varina!" Brown kept cheering for himself, but he also knew that at this distance, he could not catch up with Varina.
Zhang Guan ran from the outermost side and surpassed Brown. Although Brown noticed that something seemed to be shaking around, he didn't pay attention. As he approached the finish line, his attention was focused on surpassing Varina.
"Varina is about to reach the finish line, it's over, I can't catch him!" Brown stared at Varina running to the finish line, at this moment he had given up chasing, and at this moment, Brown suddenly realized that on the outermost runway, the famous athlete in red sportswear looks as if he is running side by side with Varina.
"It's Zhang Guan! When did he catch up! I understand it was Zhang Guan who just shook past me!" Brown opened his eyes in surprise, and then he found that both of them made a line-crossing action.
"Who will win?"
...
The cheering of the audience was cheering for Zhang Guan. He came from the last place and finally caught up with the first ranked Varina before the end.
Varina, who ran ahead, didn't know it. He thought it was a passionate Norwegian audience cheering him.
"Cheer! Cheer! I'm going to cross the finish line! Applause more fiercely!"
Only five meters from the finish line, Varina has already begun to enjoy the joy of the winner.
However, it was at this time that Zhang Guan came to catch up and keep pace with Varina.
At this moment, Varina panicked.
