Chapter 142 The King of Track and Field: The Unbreakable 400-meter Record

Shenshi Gao Ping looked at the final results with bitterness on his face.

Originally, Shinji Kohei was full of confidence and was ready to defeat Zhang Guan in one fell swoop and become a Japanese hero, but after only five or six seconds of the game, Shinshi Kohei's hopes were completely turned into bubbles. Even in the corner, Zhang Guan's performance The speed at which it came out was not something that Shenshi Gao Ping could catch up with, not to mention the straight road that Zhang Guan was better at.

19.98 seconds, a new Asian record, this is also an achievement that Shinshi Kohei will never reach in his lifetime. He recalled the gap left behind by Zhang Guan in the game just now, and suddenly felt very wronged.

"Such a fast speed, such a big gap, how can I beat him!"

In the end, Shenshi Gaoping's time was 20.78 seconds, which is considered a very good result in Asia. He almost entered the Olympic B standard. Unfortunately, this time became bleak in front of Zhang Guan's Asian record. .

As for Yang Yao, when he saw Zhang Guan's speed was so fast in the race, he was also taken aback, but then he was relieved a lot, because Yang Yao knew that the gold medal in the 200 meters would definitely not be able to run, so The next game also became very relaxed, and finally won the third place in 21.34 seconds.

At this time, Zhang Guan was also surrounded by media reporters.

"Congratulations, Zhang Guan, the perfect 200-meter debut! How do you feel now?" A female reporter from CCTV took the lead to ask.

"It's okay. The purpose of this time is to adapt to the rhythm of the 200-meter sprint." Zhang Guan said.

"I just saw that you seem to have some reservations. Can you run faster?" This is a reporter from Macau. His Mandarin is not very standard, but he can understand it.

Zhang Guan nodded: "It will be fine if you hurry up, I am the world champion, how can an Asian record satisfy me?"

"Then your goal is to break the world record?" A Hong Kong reporter asked with an exaggerated expression on his face.

"It will definitely happen in the future!" Zhang Guan said with certainty: "As an athlete, you should work hard in the direction of higher, faster and stronger, and challenge higher goals, so if you encounter the right opportunity, , I will challenge the 200-meter world record."

"Wow..." While the reporters exclaimed, they all looked very excited. This was obviously the answer they most wanted to hear.

In fact, interviewing domestic athletes is a very boring thing. Many answers have been standardized. It is basically a routine to thank the country, parents, coaches, this, and that, but the reporters hope that the athletes will say something " big talk".

For example, if a player in the NBA scored a high score in a certain game, if he replied thanking his family, thanking the coach, thanking his teammates, etc., there is obviously nothing worth reporting, but if he said that he would surpass Kobe’s 81 points in the future, it would definitely be a good thing. The big bright spot, although some talk big, but it is also a fighting spirit, and more importantly, the media likes to hear this kind of talk the most.

"Zhang Guan, we know that you have a 400-meter sprint competition to participate in tomorrow. This is also your 400-meter sprint debut. Are you confident to win the 400-meter sprint again?" Another reporter asked .

"As an athlete, you can lose everything, but you must never lose confidence in yourself. Facing every game, I have the confidence to win!" Zhang Guan answered concisely, but to the ears of the surrounding reporters, It seems to be filled with a big bowl of chicken soup for the soul.

...

An Asian record of 200 meters, although very exciting, is not enough to be a sensation. In the past year, Zhang Guan has won more than a dozen world championships, and broke the world record several times. For ordinary people, Zhang Guan Winning has become a matter of course. Although it is a 200-meter sprint this time, it still feels like icing on the cake. Although the icing on the cake is beautiful, it is not as touching as sending charcoal in the snow.

While the reporters frantically besieged Zhang Guan, the coaches of the Japanese team, Keiwa Kobayashi and Susumu Takano, had already left the field early.

"Takano-kun, you have the most say in the 400-meter sprint event. Judging from the 200-meter race just now, what do you think of Zhang Guan's 400-meter strength?" Kobayashi Jinghe asked.

"Coach, I have observed Zhang Guan's performance in the corner, but from a technical point of view, his performance is very ordinary, I can only say that he is quite satisfactory, I don't see any extraordinary technical characteristics, which is different from his 100-meter world The identity of the record holder is very inconsistent," Takano said truthfully.

"You're right, and Zhang Guan obviously hasn't tried his best to run, but even so, Zhang Guan's speed in the corner is about the same as those first-class black players in Europe and America. His advantage in speed is too obvious, Especially in Asia, the speed advantage of 0.5 seconds per 100 meters is reflected in the 200-meter sprint, which is simply unsurpassable." Kobayashi Jinghe said.

"But the 400 meters are different." Gao Yejin continued: "Coach, the 400 meters sprint is a sport that requires a lot of skills. Speed ​​alone is not enough. According to Zhang Guan's current skills, it can only be regarded as a He is only a qualified 400-meter sprinter, and he is still far from being excellent. There are several qualified 400-meter athletes in Japan, and every high school track and field club in Japan."

"Are you saying that Zhang Guan's 400-meter level is not good enough?" Kobayashi Jinghe immediately regained his spirits.

"From a technical point of view, it should be like this. The distribution of rhythm and physical strength in the 400-meter event is a difficult point. It takes more than half a year for many athletes to find a suitable rhythm for them. What kind of rhythm is suitable for athletes will directly affect athletes. The running method in the race." Gao Yejin changed his voice and continued: "But we don't know what kind of running method Zhang Guan will use in the 400 meters."

"The Chinese still use the more traditional running method in Asia. I think Zhang Guan will also use that kind of running method. And our player Yuzo Kanemaru has already started to use the European and American running method. Although Sato Guanghao has been using it The traditional running method, but the acceleration point is much earlier, which has advantages for the traditional running method. I hope that Kanemaru-kun and Sato-kun can run within 46 seconds tomorrow!" Kobayashi Keikazu said.

Among the two players in the Japanese team, Yuzo Kanemaru ran his best time of 45.86 seconds this year, while the older Mitsuhiro Sato had a good time of 45.63 seconds last year. Although these two results did not even enter the Olympic A standard, they are definitely top results in Asia.

"Coach, if Kanemaru-kun and Sato-kun are performing normally, they should be able to run into about 46.10 seconds. If they enter 46 seconds, I'm afraid they will perform better." Takano Susumu said honestly.

"No matter what, we will fight hard tomorrow! The Chinese team has always been better than us in the women's events, throwing events and race walking events. In the short events, the Chinese have already surpassed us in the men's 100 meters, 200 meters, and 110 meters hurdles. After surpassing us, the only event we have left is the 400-meter sprint, no matter what, we must keep our advantage in the 400-meter event!"

...

"Everyone, welcome to the special program of the East Asian Games. In today's program, we have specially invited Professor Li Jianguo of Capital University of Physical Education as our special guest." The host turned to a man about 50 years old and said: " Hello, Professor Li."

"Hello, host, audience!" Professor Li said with a smile.

"Now the East Asian Games is in full swing. The athletes of our country have also achieved very good results. At present, the gold medal list and the medal list are far ahead. In the competition that ended today, the most concerned person is undoubtedly Zhang. Guan’s 200-meter debut! The time of 19.98 seconds broke the Asian record of 20.03 seconds held by Japanese player Shingo Suezue. Let’s take a look back at the moment when Zhang Guan broke the 200-meter Asian record during the day!”

The whole process of Zhang Guan's competition was shown on the TV, and then the host asked: "Professor Li, today Zhang Guan's performance is perfect, do you think Zhang Guan will improve in the future?"

"Improvement is certain!" Professor Li said with a smile: "Zhang Guan's dominance in the men's 100-meter event is obvious to all. I actually expected him to break the Asian record today. I think Zhang Guan broke the 200-meter race. It’s only a matter of time before the world record for meters is achieved.”

This Professor Li is obviously a "Zhang Guan fan", but it is naturally impossible for this kind of program to invite some "spots" to be guests. Even if it is a champion athlete in other sports, Professor Li can also become a "fan".

"Now everyone is very concerned about tomorrow's competition. Zhang Guan is about to participate in the 400-meter sprint competition. This is also his 400-meter debut. Everyone is also looking forward to Zhang Guan's results tomorrow." The camera gave a telephoto again, and then The host continued to ask: "Professor Li, do you think it is possible for Zhang Guan to win the 400-meter dash tomorrow? Or go further and break an Asian record?"

"It is very possible to win the 400-meter sprint championship, but it may be difficult to break the 400-meter Asian record. The current Asian record for the 400-meter sprint is 44.56 seconds by Oman's Malki. It has been dusty for 17 years and has not been broken! In fact, if you can run within 45 seconds, you can already be regarded as a world-class 400-meter athlete. It's very difficult." Li continued: "According to last year's Athens Olympic Games, only the top three runners in the final ran within 44.50 seconds, and the fourth runner-up's time was 44.66 seconds, which means the current 400-meter Asian record. , you can also win a fourth place in the Olympics.”

"So what is the actual record for the 400-meter dash?" The host then asked.

Director Li immediately said: "43 seconds 18, this time was set by the legendary American flying man Michael Johnson in 1999. At that time, this world record was called 'the record of the 21st century', and it was considered impossible even in the 21st century. No one has broken it, and judging from the current situation, this record will remain unshakable for at least 50 years!
