Chapter 124: Breaking the 100-meter record twice a week

Although track and field sports are not like heavy-weight sports such as boxing judo, athletes can still be divided into different levels according to their respective competitive levels. In the 100-meter sprint event, it is normal for the world 's top athletes and world-class athletes to lead in the first 50 meters. Leading for them is also a normal thing.

What is a world-class 100-meter sprinter? Those who can run into 10 seconds can be classified as world-class 100-meter sprinters. Ordinary track and field competitors can only enter the semi-finals or finals. If you are lucky, you may have a chance to win the medals. This can be regarded as world-class.

So what are the world's top track and field athletes? In the 100-meter event, Powell is the world's top track and field athlete. In fact, for the 100-meter sprint event, being able to easily run within 10 seconds can be regarded as the world's top athlete and can impact the medals distribution of the Olympic Games and World Championships. If Powell faces Shenwu, as long as Powell is willing, he can lead Shenwu in the first 50 meters, because the two are on different levels.

The athletes of the two levels compete. If the higher level player gains an advantage in the first 50 meters, the latter advantage will only become larger and larger, because the higher level athlete will have a faster speed, so the gap naturally will get bigger and bigger.

Powell, Gatlin, Greene, Crawford, Obik Viru, Collins, etc. can all be regarded as such world-class athletes, and the contest between them is almost impossible to achieve decisiveness in the first 50 meters because they can be said to be athletes of the same level. The decisive victory between them will even reach the moment when they reach the line before the finish line.

But today, Zhang Guan and Powell's duel, at 50 meters, Zhang Guan achieved this advantage, and later Zhang Guan showed faster speed than Powell, which can only show one thing, that is the level of Zhang Guan is not the same as that of Powell.

Therefore, this game is already overpowering.

Powell sighed secretly, "It turns out that Zhang Guan has been hiding his strength! His real strength has surpassed me, and I am no longer an athlete of the same level as him!"

At 60 meters, 70 meters and 80 meters, Zhang Guan's leading advantage is getting bigger and bigger. Powell is still trying to catch up, but in fact, he has given up on the game in his heart.

Before the end, Zhang Guan controlled the rhythm slightly and crossed the line with a score of 9.73 seconds. Without a doubt, Zhang Guan broke the world record for the 100 meters he set a week ago again.

"Zhang Guan! Leading, huge lead, already irreversible, okay, cross the line, champion! Zhang Guan won the championship, his score is ... Oh! World record, another world record! My God! it has only been a week! Zhang Guan broke the world record twice in a week!" The commentator growled loudly.

Powell's face was sad. This game made him lose the confidence to compete with Zhang Guan. Not long ago, he was only 0.01 seconds away from the world record, and within this week, Zhang Guan broke the world record twice, all of them were broken in his face, which greatly affected Powell's self-confidence. Powell knew that he would have to look up to Zhang Guan in the future.

"Zhang Guan is only 19 years old, and already has this level. It seems that in the next ten years, the 100-meter sprint event will be ruled by him. Then should I switch to the 200 meters?" Powell immediately denied his such an idea, it is difficult to guarantee whether or not Zhang Guan will also transition to 200 meters in the next few years. At that time, he may be in the rhythm of being abused.

Powell stared at the 9.73-second number on the timing card and sighed helplessly. At this moment, he completely gave up the idea of ​​defeating Zhang Guan. His whole body suddenly felt a lot lighter. He walked to Zhang Guan, "Congratulations, Zhang Guan! You broke the world record again."

"Thank you, Asafa! But I think, after three or four years, you may create a faster speed than this." Zhang Guan said, he knew that Powell's personal best score was 9.72 set in 2008. second.

Suddenly there was an indescribable taste in Powell's heart, and then he said, "By that time, you must have run into 9.7 seconds!"

Afterward, Powell said very sincerely, "Zhang Guan, I could feel that you have not exerted your full strength, you still have reservations. Can you tell me, how fast can you run?"

"I haven't tried it." Zhang Guan thought about it, and then continued, "I think in the future, I should be able to run within 9.6 seconds!"

Powell took a sigh of relief. He felt that the results within 9.6 seconds were not created by human beings.

But Zhang Guan knew that just 9.6 seconds is not enough, because in the future there is a Bolt, his best score is 9.58 seconds.

...

In the early morning, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang from the family's house.

"Who's having a happy event again?" Some good deeds stopped to watch, but when they saw this family home, they immediately understood.

"It must be Zhang Guan who has won the championship again!" Said a dog-walking aunt holding the dog frightened by the sound of firecrackers.

Every time Zhang Guan won the championship, Zhang Guan 's family home would set off firecrackers to celebrate. The property office had also been inspected by the fire department for storing flammable and explosive items like firecrackers.

"There are a lot of firecrackers fired today! It's a few thousand sounds," said the aunt.

A hawker selling meat clips next door said, "I remember last week, they fired so many firecrackers. It seems that because Zhang Guan broke the world record, so ten more firecrackers would mean a world record?"

"Impossible, it only been a week!" Aunt shook her head.

A moment later, the sound of the firecrackers finally stopped, and a walking old man who had been watching the bustle turned on the radio.

"In the latest news, Chinese player Zhang Guan broke the world record of the men's 100-meter sprint again with a score of 9.73 seconds in the just ended IAAF Golden League Rome station! The world record is only a week apart... "

"Oh, he broke the world record!" The hawker shouted in surprise.

...

In a week, he broke the world record for men 's 100m twice, no one has done this before!

Although Zhang Guan once broke the world record for the indoor 60-meter event twice a week, the 100-meter sprint and the indoor 60-meter level are completely different, just like if F3 racing and F1 racing are being compared, then the F3 racing champions are not as good as an F1 car champion.

In the past, everyone has been used to spending months, dozens of months, or even years of waiting for a world record of 100 meters, waiting for a world's first flying man, and last year, Zhang Guan spent a month to break the world record twice, which has surprised many people.

Less than a year later, Zhang Guan set the 100-meter world record twice in a week, which made the world completely crazy. This sensation attracted the attention of the world. Compared with the legendary track and field superstars in the past, some people even shouted that Zhang Guan is the best track and field athlete of this century.

...

After the IAAF Golden League match in Rome, Zhang Guan immediately went to Madrid to participate in the IAAF Super Grand Prix Madrid match.

According to the schedule of the Field Management Center, Madrid Station was not in the original competition plan, so Liu Feiren returned directly from Rome, and Zhang Guan ran to Madrid at his own expense to participate in the competition.

The Madrid Grand Prix match was held on the fourth day after the Golden League Rome. In the Golden League Rome, Zhang Guan just finished using the potion to fill his state, so he did not want to waste the effect of the potion. Moreover, Zhang Guan also needs to participate in the competition to obtain skill points. Even if the schedule is tight, Zhang Guan went to Madrid and brushed a gold medal.

After that, there will be no competition until ten days later, so Zhang Guan also flew home to take a rest.

However, as soon as he returned to China, Zhang Guan was in a hurry. The amazing record of breaking the 100-meter world record twice a week caused a sensation in the world, let alone in China. Countless media all went to Pujiang City, hoping to be able to interview Zhang Guan, and the advertising endorsement contract was flying like a snowflake.

Accepting interviews, making advertisements, and participating in various activities have become the theme of Zhang Guan's daily life. He is very busy and full. Zhang Guan has also changed from boredom to numbness. The days of being a dog every day are exchanged for the rapid growth of the numbers in his account.

A large number of continuous business activities will naturally affect Zhang Guan's training. This situation continues until Zhang Guan boarded the plane to the UK.

On July 22, the IAAF Super Awards was held in London, and Zhang Guan won another gold medal.

However, this time, Zhang Guan felt that the enthusiasm in the field was not as good as before, especially when he first crossed the finish line. The cheers and applause were far less powerful than he thought as if the audience was already used to Zhang Guan winning the championship.

Indeed, both the audience and the media have become accustomed to it. As long as Zhang Guan can participate, he can win the championship. For the whole world, Zhang Guan winning the 100-meter sprint championship is not a piece of news, but if it should happen, when Zhang Guan did not win the championship, it would be a piece of news!

On July 26, at the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Stockholm, Zhang Guan won another championship in the expression that the audience was accustomed to. Since the start of the Lausanne race, Zhang Guan has won all four IAAF Grand Prix championships.

On July 29, the IAAF Golden League Oslo Station was held in Oslo, Norway. Liu Feiren didn't come to participate this time. After all, he didn't win the championship in the first two stations, so he had no chance to get the final gold award, so Liu Feiren chose to prepare for the upcoming World Championships in China.

It was also missing was Powell, a Jamaican trapeze. Powell had to miss a series of recent games, including the next World Championships, because of a relapse of his old injury.

Zhang Guan went through an intensive schedule of three matches in seven days, especially the Oslo Station in the Golden League as the third match. It was a great test for Zhang Guan. In the end, Zhang Guan only ran 9.95 seconds. Fortunately, two of Zhang Guan's strongest opponents, Jamaican Dwight Thomas and Englishman Jason Gardner, ran for 10 seconds. Zhang Guan won another championship.

In the IAAF Golden League, Zhang Guan has already won three victories. According to the rules of the Golden League, only two more victories are needed to touch the gold bullion worth $500,000. If you can win in three games, you will have a chance to get a gold ingot worth millions of dollars.

So far, like Zhang Guan, who has won three games, only the Russian long jump queen Lebedeva and the French 100-meter sprinter Aron.

After the IAAF Golden League Oslo stop, Zhang Guan immediately went to Helsinki, Finland, where the 10th World Athletics Championships will be held.

The World Athletics Championships were originally held every four years, but now it has been changed to be held every two years. This event is also an event that the national team attaches great importance to.

Track and field are the weakness of the national team, but in the walking race and women's throwing events, the national track and field team is still very strong, often able to win medals in world-class competitions. However, the IAAF Grand Prix, Super Grand Prix, and Golden League do not set up walking events, but mainly on-track events, so apart from Liu Feiren and Zhang Guan, other athletes rarely have the opportunity to compete abroad.

In the World Track and Field Championships, all Olympic track and field events are set, and the requirements for entry are much lower than the Grand Prix or Golden League, so many athletes in China have the opportunity to participate in this event.

A total of more than 1,200 athletes participated in this track and field championship, and the national team sent a team of 36 people. In terms of men's athletes, there are three athletes each participating in the 110-meter hurdle, the 20-km race, and the 50-km race. One athlete for each event such as the 100-meter sprint, 200-meter sprint, triple jump, pole vault, discus, javelin, and decathlon. In terms of women athletes, the national team will participate in many more events. Except for sprint, middle distance, long jump, and heptathlon, all other women's events have been participated in.

Zhang Guan arrived in Finland directly from Oslo, Norway. All of them were much earlier than the national team. When the national team arrived, Zhang Guan had already been training in Helsinki, Finland for several days.

...

"How is your state?" Director Ma handed Zhang Guan a bottle of unopened water and sat down beside him.

"It's okay, the training has been more regular these days, and the state is better than the previous days. It's no problem to win the championship!" Zhang Guan finished drinking.

"Don't talk too much first!" Director Ma smiled, and then said, "This time, it's not easy for you to win the championship."

"Powell didn't come because of an injury. Who else is left? Obik Viru is my strongest opponent, other than Kim Collins, Dwight Thomas, Jason Gardner, Aceh Ariza, everything else is at the level of Yuan Xuanzhi! If it's 10 seconds away, it's not a threat to me." Zhang Guan said.

"Look at the list of participants first." Director Ma handed a piece of paper to Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan looked at the entry list, frowning suddenly because he saw a very familiar name:

"Gatlin, why is he here!"
