All-round Athlete

Chapter 748 Professional level

One lap of the short-track speed skating field is 111.12 meters. The 500-meter race requires four and a half laps, the 1,000-meter race requires nine laps, and the 1,500-meter race requires thirteen and a half laps. In terms of difficulty, 1500 meters is of course the most difficult of the three levels.

In racing, the item with the shortest distance is often the item with the lowest technical difficulty. Just like track and field, the 100-meter sprint competition is mainly about explosive power and speed. Athletes only need to rush forward without thinking, and basically don't need to think about tactical issues. And if it is 10,000 meters, it is definitely impossible for athletes to rush forward without thinking. They need to arrange tactics before the game, allocate their physical strength reasonably, and need to see through the opponent's tactics during the game, and then make adjustments according to their own physical conditions.

The same is true for short track speed skating. Compared with track and field, short track speed skating has an additional cornering technique. The 1500-meter skid is nine laps more than the 500-meter, which means that there will be more corners, and more corners also means that there will be more possibilities for mistakes. For professional short-track speed skaters, although cornering mistakes will not cause them to fall, they will definitely affect their speed and rhythm, thus affecting their final competition results.

In addition, the number of participants of different levels is also different. The rules of the competition stipulate that there are 4-8 athletes participating in each group of short track speed skating competitions. Generally, in men's events, there are four athletes participating in a 500-meter competition, and 1000 meters. Five players will participate, and six players will participate in the 1500 meters at the same time. Female athletes are smaller in stature, so there will be eight athletes participating in the 1500-meter race at the same time. From this point of view, there are two more opponents in 1500 meters than in 500 meters, and it is naturally much more difficult to surpass five opponents than to surpass three opponents.

Coach Li Bing originally thought that for athletes like Zhang Guan with strong physical fitness, even if he knows short track speed skating skills, he should focus on the 500 meters. Also higher. He doesn't think Zhang Guan has the strength to skate 1500 meters. So he deliberately proposed to skate 1,500 meters first, and he also deliberately gave Zhang Guan a bad impression.

"Aren't you good at everything? Then let's compete in the 1500 meters. Let me see if you will participate!" The chill in Coach Li Bing's smile flashed, but on his mouth, he said: "After So the 1,500-meter event started first, because in the current Vancouver Winter Olympics, the men's events started with the 1,500-meter race, then the 1,000-meter race, and finally the 500-meter race and the relay race. We also want to try our best to It will restore the order of competitions in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, so that athletes can better understand the competition process of the Winter Olympics.”

Zhang Guan also came prepared. He had done homework on short track speed skating before and knew that 1500 meters is the most difficult event. Although coach Li Bing added a lot of high-sounding reasons later, Zhang Guan was able to I can feel that this is coach Li Bing giving himself a blow.

"1500 meters, of course I have no problem. If possible, I hope to participate in all three events!" Zhang Guan said.

"Participate in all three events? Sometimes you cry!" Coach Li Bing thought to himself, but with a smile on his face, he said, "I'll ask someone to take you to the locker room. You should change into your equipment first and get used to the venue. , our trials will start on time at ten o'clock."

...

"I really didn't expect that Zhang Guan would choose to participate in our first competition event of 1500 meters." Coach Li Bing pointed to the five athletes who were originally selected to participate in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and they are currently available for the national team The strongest lineup.

Coach Li Bing went on to say: "All five of you are going together, so be smart about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Don't need me to remind you!"

"Coach, don't worry, we know what to do. 1500 meters, hehe, I can lap him!" one of them said.

"It's good to have confidence, but don't underestimate the enemy. After a while Zhang Guan will get used to the field, so you step aside first to make room. By the way, this is an opportunity to observe Zhang Guan's level!" Coach Li Bing continued.

After a while, Zhang Guan appeared in front of everyone, and other athletes ran to the side of the field one after another, almost leaving the entire short track speed skating field to Zhang Guan.

"The equipment is quite complete, and it really looks like it."

"Zhang Guan's equipment is probably the best equipment we can buy in the domestic market. If you want to find better equipment, you can either go to foreign manufacturers to buy directly, or buy from our national team. channel."

"Zhang Guan has made so much money, he must not be short of hundreds of thousands. If he wants to buy it, he will buy the best one...Look, he has started to skate."

"Not to mention, just judging from the technical movements, it really looks a bit similar, and it's a slippery one."

"It's more than just skating. You see, he has already started to accelerate. The rhythm of his steps on the straight road and his cornering movements are completely professional."

"Yeah, amateurs definitely can't reach this level. This Zhang Guan really has two talents! But it's right to think about it. If he doesn't have some strength, how could he dare to ask for a place in the Winter Olympics."

Not far away, coach Li Bing's expression also became serious.

Zhang Guan's pace rhythm in the straight track is very good. His control of the pace allows him to enter a high-speed state when entering the corner, which is an essential element for professional short track speed skaters.

Short track speed skating is a venue of 30 by 60 meters. Measured by the speed of skating, the distance of 60 meters can be crossed in just a few steps, but a few steps in the straight is a key issue. . Under normal circumstances, athletes slide out at a relatively consistent pace during a straight track. If they slide one more step and rush too hard, the next cornering route will be wider; There needs to be a wait before, which will affect the speed. This is a bit like hurdles in track and field. How many steps are used from the start to the first hurdle, how many steps are used between two hurdles, and how many steps are used for the final sprint, all of which are a fixed number.

For professional short track speed skaters, it is best to maximize the effect of each step, so taking a step when entering the corner is obviously the best defense to occupy the line, but it is not easy, even for professional athletes , There are also cases where the route is too large when entering the corner, and if the route is not well entered, but the opponent's route is very good, it is possible to overtake it once.

"Zhang Guan came prepared! I really didn't expect that his short track speed skating level can reach the professional level. No wonder the media said that he is an all-round athlete. It's really not just blowing it out." Li Bing thought to himself: "But This is the national team, and we have the best short track speed skaters in the world, who are only at the professional level, and we can't even count as a training partner here!"
