Entering the straight runway, Varina entered his first advantage zone. His pace is getting bigger and bigger, and his speed has risen to a new level. At this time, it is obvious that the distance between him and Djhone on the fifth track is getting smaller and smaller, but the frequency of his steps is similar to that of Djhone.
For the two athletes, Varina is 1.83 meters tall and Djhone is 1.87 meters tall. Djhone has an advantage in terms of leg length. It stands to reason that if the two people have the same pace frequency, Djhone should Faster, but Varina is now faster than Djhone, which shows that Varina's pace is more than one and a half points greater than Djhone.
"Zhang Guan was about the same speed as me in the starting phase, but his sprinting speed was almost comparable to the average 200-meter sprinter, but when he was between 100 and 300 meters, and his speed was slower than mine. If I want to defeat Zhang Guan, it is necessary to accumulate enough advantages in the distance of 100 meters to 300 meters. I think that in this straight distance, Zhang Guan is almost 0.8 seconds behind me! I will enter the corner and then lead. I have an advantage of 0.8 seconds, which is more than 1.5 seconds. I don't believe he can finally make a comeback!" Varina began to adjust while thinking, preparing to enter the next corner.
Varina likes to speed up after entering the second corner. His cornering technique can be said to be the world's first, so it is necessary to compete with other athletes. He must also be able to run at a high speed in the corner.
Finally, Varina entered the second corner, and at the same time, he also used the curve of the curve to observe Zhang Guan. He wanted to see how much Zhang Guan was behind and estimate his lead time.
However, when Varina looked behind him on the left, he saw that Zhang Guan was about to enter the corner.
...
Coach Hart is constantly analyzing various possibilities in his mind.
"Why does Zhang Guan use this type of running? He must know that it will consume more physical energy. His physical distribution will encounter problems in the second half. Is it that he is preparing to give up the 400-meter race?" Coach Hart shook his head and rejected the idea.
"If he gave up the 400m race, it would be better to run the same way as the previous game and keep running at the same frequency, so that he can retain more physical strength. However, he did not do so, he tried sprinting after entering the straight. To change the running method, his pace is greater, indicating that he is faster. Did Zhang Guan decide to compete for the 400-meter sprint championship!"
Coach Hart's face has become more dignified. World-class athletes will not easily change their technical characteristics. Once actively changed, it means that the new technique will inevitably run faster and jump higher and throw farther...
"Last month, Zhang Guan didn't run like this, did Zhang Guan change his running style in just one month? The time is wrong! This is all in July, no one will change their technique at this time!" Hart frowned.
Generally, track and field athletes change their technique in the winter. There are no track and field competitions in this season. Athletes begin to change old techniques and try new techniques. By May and June, various track and field events have begun. Athletes will test new techniques in the competition and continue to improve them. By July and August, new techniques will gradually mature. This is also a period when athletes are more likely to produce good results. Many world records in track and field appeared in this period.
Also, some athletes will choose to change their techniques during the recovery period of the injury, and most of them are forced to change their techniques to avoid being injured again. This situation is good to ensure that the performance does not decline.
It is now in July, and the track and field schedules of the year are over two months away. Athletes can't change their techniques at this juncture. The schedule is so close, the competition is so intense if athletes change their technique at this time, it is easy to cause the new technique not to be used well, but if the old technique is not used well, it will affect the performance.
...
When coach Hart was puzzled, Varina was stiff.
"I don't seem to have taken the lead!" Varina made the most accurate judgment with just one glance. With his experience, he can judge the advantages and disadvantages at any location on the track, and there is no need to reach the end of the straight runway.
"What's the matter? Zhang Guan changed his way of running? He accelerated on the straight track just now?" Varina also entered the corner area with a trace of doubt, and he began to accelerate.
Accelerating quickly after entering a curve in a straight is a technical feature of Varina. For him, running corners is also a very handy thing, because his cornering technique is also the best in the world.
In the corner, Varina's steps became smaller, but the frequency of his steps became much faster, so his speed did not decrease. When he slowed down a bit and started to adjust, he was already in the lead.
Varina feels that this game has entered his rhythm, and then in the final straight, he will start to sprint and then defeat other athletes with a strong follow-up sprint ability.
At this time, the Frenchman Djhone also slowly caught up from behind, gradually catching up with Varina, when the two were about to enter the final straight runway, they even had a trend of keeping pace.
Djhone's running method is special. His first 100m speed is not very fast, and the second 100m speed will increase, but it is not a very hard speed increase, and the fastest stage of his run is the first three 100 meters, which also shows that his techniques in running corners are good. Among the top athletes in the world, few of the third 100 meters run can be faster than the second 100 meters. Djhone is one of them.
"Djhone's ability to sprint in the final is not weak. Although it is not as good as me, it can also pose a threat to me. I have to accelerate!" Varina has already begun to accelerate at this time, making the final sprint.
And at this moment, Varina heard Coach Hart's cry, "Jeremy, go all out, do your best, Zhang Guan is catching up!"
Varina's heart tightened once again, he remembered the last match of the Golden League, Zhang Guan surpassed himself at the last time.
"Zhang Guan's speed seems to be faster than the last time. Has he improved again? I have to use my utmost strength, and I must not give Zhang Guand a chance!" Varina glanced at Zhang Guan's position, and the pace at his feet also truly reflects his ideas.
Compared with the last race, Zhang Guan's level has indeed improved, and his performance in the corners is now better than last month. This is the case of sports. The progress of beginners always seems to be more obvious, and it may be able to make more obvious progress in a month. Those experienced veteran athletes, after a year and a half of practice, all seem to be at the same level.
Varina led Djhone and took the lead in the final straight runway, but Djhone was not willing to back down. He began to accelerate and was ready to challenge Varina. Djhone once ran out of the seventh place in the 400m finals of the Athens Olympics. He is the fastest person in the 400m in Europe. Although he is not as good as Varina, he is capable of challenging Varina.
However, today Djhone met Varina who was preparing to do his best, so at the beginning of the sprint, Djhone fell behind. And at this moment, Zhang Guan also began to sprint.
Zhang Guan once again showed a speed that did not belong to 400 meters, and the audience of the audience also cooperated very well. First, there was a surprised voice, and then there was a mountain-like tsunami-like cry.
In the last video of the Oslo match in the Golden League, Varina watched it hundreds of times. He clearly remembered that when Zhang Guan began to accelerate, the audience made a surprised cry, followed by a violent cry. Varina thought the audience was cheering for him at the time. This time at the Paris station, Varina once again heard this reaction from the audience. He knew that the cheers were not for himself, but they were cheering for Zhang Guan.
"The final contest is about to begin! I will not lose again!" Varina's expression became more serious, and the eyes under the sunglasses also exuded a strong sense of war and determination to win.
Zhang Guan, who was in the back, caught up with the Frenchman De Joan and then completed the transcendence instantly.
"Why so fast! This is the speed of the 200-meter athlete!" Although Djhone has watched the video of the Oslo station game, he knows that Zhang Guan can run at a speed not weaker than the 200-meter sprinter in the final sprint, but in the same encounter in this real situation in the game, Djhone still can not help but be surprised.
...
"Zhang Guan started accelerating, so fast! Far more than others! He surpassed Djhone and was catching up with Varina! Catch up! Catch up soon!" The voice of the on-site commentator was very loud, but it was covered by the cry of the audience. At this time, the audience stood up and stared at the final straight track. These few seconds will be the most exciting moment of the whole game.
As Zhang Guan surpassed Djhone, the cheering in the field was high, and this increasingly loud cheering in Varina's ears which was like a life-saving sign, letting him know that Zhang Guan was getting closer and closer.
"My speed has reached the limit, and I have very little energy left, but the finish line is in front of me... Wait a minute, before I relax my vigilance, as long as I don't cross the finish line, I can't relax my vigilance. In the last game, it was because I relaxed my vigilance at the last moment that I would lose the game!" Varina remembered the last defeat again. With a lesson in mind, he did not relax.
"It's ten meters away from the finish line! Come on, keep it up!" Varina cheered for herself, and at this moment, there was a figure on his left that was walking alongside him.
"It's Zhang Guan! He's catching up!" This scene is so familiar to Varina. The last ten meters were caught by Zhang Guan as if it was a repeat of the last Oslo station.
The two again made a line-crossing action at the same time, but in fact, the speed of Zhang Guan was faster than Varina. Then the two crossed the finish line.
"Like the last game, I lost again, lost at the last moment! It was overtaken by Zhang Guan in the last five meters!" This reenactment of history made Varina feel that the game result is the same as the last Oslo station, and I lost again at the last moment! Maybe lost in the last 0.1 seconds.
"I ran within 44 seconds this time, and I still lost to Zhang Guan! The previous 43.99 seconds was not the limit of Zhang Guan, I still underestimated him!" Varina turned his attention to the scoreboard, he wants to know the final score.
Varina's final score is 43.82 seconds, which is his best personal score in the game. This score is enough to rank in the top 20 of the 400-meter sprint.
But this result is not enough for Varina to win, because Zhang Guan is faster than him!
Zhang Guan's result is 43.67 seconds!
This is the tenth best result in the 400-meter sprint event.
