Director Ma on the rostrum pouted, "I thought Zhang Guan was going to lead! All of a sudden he rushed to the front. He made me get excited about it for a while, I'm not looking..."
"This kid is not stupid!" Yu Gui said, "Not to mention, this is similar to the running, and the speed of the previous athletes... the sense of rhythm is very similar. It seems that Zhang Guan is well adapted to the rhythm of the athlete in front of him! "
"Well, he running very smoothly, not like pretending." Director Ma replied.
At this time, the athletes on the track entered the second 200-meter area.
In the 800-meter run, the distance between 200 and 400 meters is the most difficult to run. First of all, athletes will face physiological challenges at this distance. At a high speed at 200 meters, the body's energy will gradually be provided by the lactic acid system. The blood lactic acid content will increase, and the human body will feel various discomforts.
The second is the issue of rhythm. In this distance, the athletes have completed the merger. Everyone on the same track will tend to run at the same rhythm, and the rhythm depends on the leading athlete. Athletes who follow the running need to adjust themselves in this period, and let the body find the rhythm that suits their running as much as possible. This is also a major difficulty for the 800-meter run. If you can't find your rhythm to follow and run forcibly, the physical exertion will increase greatly.
In many cases, the front runner will constantly change his leading rhythm. When the leading rhythm changes, the following rhythm will naturally change. For the follower, he is forced to change his rhythm. It is also a test of physical strength and ability.
Therefore, at this time, the race situation looks like it is not surprising, everyone is running at a constant speed, but the athletes are constantly intriguing, accumulating their advantages little by little, or one by one, they wait to consumes the opponent's advantage and waits for the final sprint to give the opponent a fatal blow.
The first lap finished quickly. At this time, the athletes' physical strength had declined to vary of degrees. The athletes who followed the runners were also eager to move. Consider whether to attack the athletes ahead. But no one would choose to try to break through Zhang Guan. First, Zhang Guan's position is better. Second, Zhang Guan and the running gap are too tight. He has the same rhythm and speed as the previous athlete.
In this way, another 200 meters was passed in the game.
Director Ma on the podium frowned silently, and he could feel that this group of athletes did not run fast.
In mid and long-distance running, the person who decides the result of the competition is always the leader. Each leader has different speeds, techniques, and tactics. Therefore, it is often the case that the preliminary results are better than the final results.
Today, the leader is not the type to run very fast, so Director Ma has been able to predict that the performance of this group of athletes will certainly not be too good. Under today's promotion competition, the top two in each group plus the two third places with the best results will enter the finals, then the group that runs relatively slowly must be the lowest. Three is equivalent to being led by a slow lead to the pit.
Director Ma turned his attention to the arena, and among the athletes in the competition, Zhang Guan was the third!
...
"Why is it so slow!" Zhang Guan also felt that the leader in front was a bit slow, but there was a timer in his system, and he could feel the passage of time more than anyone else.
"If I continue to run like this, the 800 meters is going to run in 1 minute 56 seconds!" Zhang Guan estimated the time, and then thought, "The women's national record of 800 meters is within 1 minute 56 seconds, for us in the 800-meter, run of 1 minute and 56 seconds is considered shameful!"
At the same time, Zhang Guan also knows that if he runs slower, in the beginning, it means that the physical reserve will be better and better. The final sprint must be more fierce, the higher the level of the athletes. Now that the leader of the game has put down the speed, then the final sprint will be extremely intense.
"No, I can't spend it with this group of guys. My physical strength is that it's time-consuming to run behind you guys. I'm gonna go first, and I won't take time to play with you!" Thinking of this, Zhang Guan went to the outer runway and passed them.
Zhang Guan's move immediately caught everyone's attention.
At this time, the athlete was running in the last corner, saw Zhang Guan quickly adjusts his position, and cut into second from the innermost first, and then began to accelerate.
"Zhang Guan cut out, is he going to lead? It's quite far from the finish line, Zhang Guan will not sprint now."
In a curve, even if there are two adjacent tracks, the athletes on the outer track must run a lot more distance, so most athletes will choose to enter the straight track before they run to the second track on the outer side Or the third track, unless it is the kind of person who is confident in his speed and will run out of the corner.
At this time, Zhang Guan was ahead of other athletes in speed. After he started accelerating, he quickly stood out and achieved a clear lead, and then Zhang Guan quickly returned to the innermost first pass.
This sudden situation from the back to the front is still very common in the game. Some athletes who are confident in their strength often make such a choice when they find that the leader is slow.
Then, Zhang Guan directly chose to start the sprint. Although he has run more than 600 meters, Zhang Guan's physical energy consumption is only half of that of other athletes. This abundance of physical energy is reflected in the change of rhythm instantly.
In the middle distance race, the sprint rhythm of athletes changes very little. If you don't compare them carefully, you will feel that the athlete's final sprint is running at the same speed as before. In fact, due to the decline in physical strength, many athletes during the sprint didn't dare to adjust their rhythm by a large margin but just slightly increased the frequency of their steps.
Today, Zhang Guan is different. His rhythm has changed a lot compared with before. After all, his physical strength is more than sufficient, which also allows Zhang Guan to dare to change the rhythm of the movement greatly.
"Zhang Guan's speed suddenly became so fast! How could the 800-meter final sprint be so fast? He can still support such a fast speed?" Director Ma on the rostrum could not help standing up, and then he suddenly felt this scene was very familiar, like Zhang Guan's 400-meter sprint.
In the 400-meter sprint race, Zhang Guan was able to sprint 200 meters at the end. Today's 800-meter sprint, Zhang Guan's performance in the final sprint is almost the same as that of normal athletes running 400 meters.
"It's the same again? It's like running 400 meters and he started running so fast at the end of the sprint. So much physical energy is left. How good it is to directly lead from the beginning to the finish line!" Coach Yu murmured.
On the field, other athletes saw Zhang Guan rushing to the front. They didn't care at the beginning. Everyone thought Zhang Guan was going to take the lead, but when Zhang Guan started to accelerate, everyone just woke up like a dream.
"Zhang Guan is not going to lead, he is going to sprint!"
"Sprinting so early, I can't hold my strength!"
Then the next moment, everyone was taken aback.
"Why is it so fast? Why did we feel that we were about to start at about the same speed."
"I ran for 800 meters. I first started with the most physical strength, I might not be as fast as he is now!"
"Huh? How can this sprint speed be so fast? It, not 700 meters yet, but Zhang Guan can still rush so fast, his physical strength should still be sufficient! Then I have to hurry!"
"It's impossible. Didn't he run more than six hundred meters in front of him? How can he still rush so fast?"
When other athletes realized that Zhang Guan was sprinting, they all speeded up and changed the overall rhythm instantly. This is how middle- and long-distance running sports are. Generally, as long as someone takes rhythm, others will also improve their rhythm, and the corresponding final score will also increase.
Under normal circumstances, the 800-meter sprint point is not so early, but because Zhang Guan sprinted ahead of time, other athletes also started to sprint ahead of time, so the sprint point of this round of competition has become earlier. At this time, you can watch out the difference in the strength of athletes. Athletes with high strength will gradually lead in the next sprint, while athletes with low strength will slowly fall behind others. The athletes who were still in the unified group will have different grades in the next thirty or fifty meters, and only the top talents are qualified for the final contest.
However, these are no longer important. Zhang Guan's sprint speed is much faster than others. When he entered the last straight track, he was already far ahead. The last straight sprint is Zhang Guan's best running method. Being ahead and coupled with the world's first straight sprint, Zhang Guan has no suspense to win the championship in this group.
Zhang Guan's final score was 1 minute, 51.07 seconds, and there was no breakthrough of 1 minute and 50 seconds. However, from performance, this result is also the level of the midstream. In the 800-meter race in domestic competitions, it is generally faster to score 1 minute and 49 seconds.
The second place was 1 minute, 52.89 seconds, and the third place was 1 minute and 53 seconds away. This is also a relatively slow result. The other athletes in the same group also achieved about 1 minute and 54 seconds. Fortunately, Zhang Guan chose to sprint ahead of the game and forced others to pick up their speed, otherwise, the data in this group might be 1 minute 56 seconds.
Looking at the results of other athletes, Zhang Guan shook his head gently. The mid-running level of domestic athletes is indeed not very good. The few athletes in this group are behind the world record by nearly 15 seconds.
"The leader was running too slowly in front of him. He blinded me with master-following skills. I hope the leader will be faster in the finals tomorrow!" Zhang Guan thought silently.
