In the final sprint, Zhang Guan's physical energy consumption is much less than other athletes, he can also run a faster sprint speed.
Coach Virgil opened his eyes in surprise. In his decades of coaching, he has never seen an athlete be able to run so fast in the final sprint.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple! I don't think it's that simple! Zhang Guan, a sprinter, has the confidence to participate in the middle distance race, and he depends on being able to have such a fast sprint speed in the final stage. In addition to Zhang Guan in the world, I have never seen anyone else be able to do it. Based on this, Zhang Guan alone is enough to become the top middle-distance runner in the world." Coach Virgil looked at Ramz involuntarily while thinking.
Ashid Ramz, the double champion in the World Championships, has an unprecedented expression at this time. Coach Virgil can even feel the kind of panic and anxiety deep in Ramz's heart.
Virgil once again focused his attention on the field but found that the situation on the field changed again.
"Oops! Carmel, he caught up!"
...
Since being surpassed by Zhang Guan, Carmel has been closely following Zhang Guan. There were several times Carmel wanted to launch a lead but did not find a chance until it was about to enter the final sprint. Zhang Guan suddenly entered the first four.
"Zhang Guan is, of course, catching up! A good opportunity to accelerate the sprint over him!" Carmel just prepared to sprint but found that Zhang Guan had already started to accelerate one step ahead.
"Is Zhang Guan going to sprint too? What's going on? Why is Zhang Guan so fast!"
Zhang Guan's acceleration is much faster than Carmel's, and the peak speed is beyond Carmel's perception.
This stunned Carmel, later, Iranian Mudila and Japanese athlete Kobayashi also started the final sprint. The explosive power of these two athletes looks very strong, especially Japanese athlete Kobayashi. He quickly caught up with Carmel.
Of course, Carmel would not let Kobayashi run beyond him, but then he found our that he was unable to fully exert his explosive power.
"Oh no, did I change the rhythm frequently too much before and consumed too much physical energy!" Carmel could only watch Kobayashi and surpass him, while Iranian Mudila also began to keep pace with him.
...
"The first qualifying of the group is pretty good. I don't know how Carmel was overtaken." Ali looked at the finish line in front of him, and there was already a joy of victory in his heart.
Mansour Ali, formerly known as John Yego, changed his name to join the Bahraini nationality. This athlete, who does not know his true age, is running for the first and has successfully advanced to the first four, there is no problem, and the position of the group's top name seems to be swept into Ali's arms.
Suddenly, an exclamation of boos mixed in the audience in the hall.
"What's going on? Why is there a boo?" Although Ali was a little puzzled, he could be sure that the boo was not for himself.
"Is there something wrong with Najim?" Ali immediately thought of Bashar Najim behind him. Then Ali quickly looked back but saw Zhang Guan's figure getting closer and closer.
"It's Zhang Guan, he surpassed Najim!" Ali realized why the audience booed. Najim was a Qatar athlete. As the host athlete at home, he was surpassed by Zhang Guan, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the audience.
"I remember that Zhang Guan was in fourth place before. Now he can surpass Najim in second place. This shows that Zhang Guan did a good sprint in the last segment. He is the fastest person in the world. It is reasonable to sprint well." Ali commented silently in his heart. At the same time, he looked sideways at Zhang Guan. He wanted to see how far away Zhang Guan was from him but was surprised to find that Zhang Guan had already kept pace with him.
"When did you catch up! You were just behind me!"
...
"Crossing the line! Zhang Guan took the lead to cross the line. Bahrain Ali in the second place. Najim ranked third, followed by Saudi athlete Savin, Japanese athlete Kobayashi and Iranian athlete Mudila. Carmel, champion of the 800-meter track and field World Cup, is in seventh place, but unfortunately, he did not qualify for the finals! This is a big upset."
At the finish line, Carmel's face was very ugly. Although his best project was not 1500 meters, he never expected that he would be blocked outside the finals at the Asian Games.
"Damn, if I didn't change the rhythm continuously, I wouldn't have consumed too much physical strength, and I wouldn't have been caught up by the Iranian at the end of the sprint! It's all because of Zhang Guan!" Carmel glared fiercely at Zhang Guan, although he knew it was self-defeating this time, but still pushed all the blame for his defeat towards Zhang Guan.
"There will be an 800m preliminaries tomorrow, and that is my strongest point. I will show you a great experience at that time!" Carmel made up his mind but suddenly remembered that in the 800m preliminaries tomorrow, he and Zhang Guan were not in the same group.
"Well, Zhang Guan, it seems that I now need to pray that you can enter the 800m finals, in 800m preliminaries, you have to run well, you must enter the finals, don't let me down!"
...
In the second game of the 1500m preliminaries, the Bahraini athlete, World Championship double distance champion Ramz, came out with no suspense, and the overall strength of this group of athletes was not as good as the first group, so there was no major upset.
After the 1500m preliminaries, Zhang Guan had an hour to rest and then participated in the men's 100m rematch.
The 100-meter rematch is divided into three groups. A total of 24 athletes participate in the competition for 16 promotion places, which means that two-thirds of the athletes can get promoted.
The athletes participating in the semi-finals have improved to a certain extent compared to the preliminary round. They are athletes who can run into the Olympic B standard. Although the Olympic B standard is quite good in Asia, they are like primary school students in the eyes of Zhang Guan. So Zhang Guan once again experienced a game of abusive dishes.
After the 100-meter rematch, it was the women's 10,000-meter final. Running down 25 laps, it would naturally take some more time, so Zhang Guan received more than two hours of rest.
On December 8th, there are only two final events left, one is the men's 400m semi-final and the other is the men's 3000m obstacle race. Zhang Guan will, of course, participate in the former.
Among the finalists who advanced to the 400-meter final, except for Zhang Guan and Japanese athlete Jin Maru Yuan, the other six were all Western Asian athletes from five countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE. Before the game, the Indian athlete Matthews Binu, who had made a big speech, was finally blocked from the finals.
...
In the projection room of the hotel, coach Virgil played the video of the 1500m preliminaries over and over again, hoping to find Zhang Guan's flaws and find a way to deal with them.
"How can he find the rhythm of the leading athlete in front so accurately? All the running style can be said to be the same!" Ramz next to him kept muttering.
Ramz was the champion of the middle distance running in last year's World Championships in track and field. Both his middle distance running technique and the competition experience are tops in the world. Of course, Ramz is familiar with the various sports rhythms in middle distance running, but he cannot change it like Zhang Guan to make the rhythm the same as the previous athletes.
Coach Virgil suddenly pulled out a ruler, walks to the TV, and points at Carmel and Zhang Guan in the picture.
"It's the same! The speed is the same! Damn, how did he do it!" Coach Virgil found out through the ruler that although Carmel and Zhang Guan were running, there was no slight change in the distance between them. Carmel and Zhang Guan have the same speed.
"The same rhythm! The same speed! In terms of following the run, this is simply flawless!" Virgil sighed a long time, and he thought he was knowledgeable but had what appeared with Zhang Guan has never been seen by him for more than 30 years. This situation is completely beyond Virgil's cognition.
The game on the TV screen has entered the final stage, and the athletes have begun the final sprint.
Ramz suddenly said, "Coach, I can't rush so fast!"
Virgil nodded, "I know, and apart from Zhang Guan in this world, I am afraid no one can rush so fast at the end of the 1500m race! I have heard from Hart before that Zhang Guan has unique physical strength. The control method, even Varina who has excellent physical strength, is not Zhang Guan's opponent. At that time, I didn't care about it, and now I feel that it is better to see it in person!"
"Coach, what should I do in the finals the day after tomorrow? If I were to sprint, I wouldn't be Zhang Guan's opponent at all." Ramz asked.
"It's very simple, just run faster than him!" Coach Virgil showed a confident look, and then said to Ramz, "Although Zhang Guan is the king of the world sprint, don't forget, you are the king of middle-distance running You are not only the double champion of the middle distance running in the World Championships in Track and Field, but you are the strongest middle-distance runner in the world! So don't care about other athletes, let alone the crown. Don't care about his running, don't care about his sprint, all you need to do is lead to the end!"
"Lead the way to the end?" Ramz took a breath.
"Yes!" Coach Virgil nodded seriously, and then said, "You are the strongest in the world, if possible, try to break the record of 1500 meters!"
