Chapter 176: Long Jump Final

Zhang Guan's 1500-meter race resulted in a sensation in the track and field that was much larger than the 800-meter run.

Zhang Guan, as the world champion of 400 meters, can run 800 meters which is a normal thing, after all, these two projects have a lot in common. But Zhang Guan can still run 1500 meters, which makes everyone surprised. The span of 100 meters to 1500 meters is too big.

What's more, Zhang Guan's 1500m performance is still very good, at least among the domestic athletes. There are also two national champion athletes in the same group as him. Although the high-level athletes in the preliminary rounds may not have exerted their full strength, Zhang Guan's ability to defeat the two national champions is also enough to show that he is strong in the 1500 meters.

Zhang Guan's speed during the final sprint of the 1500-meter race also surprised professional sportsmen. Zhang Guan once again violated the physiological limits that everyone recognized.

The 400-meter sprint distance is relatively short, and athletes can certainly retain some physical strength in the final sprint; while in the 800-meter run, as long as the rhythm is well controlled, the athlete will still have a little physical reserve during the final sprint. But 1500 meters is different. This is the distance of the human physical reserve limit. It is almost impossible for athletes to retain physical reserve during the final sprint of 1500 meters. Therefore, in the 1500-meter sprint, athletes are exhausted at every point. So the speed-up is challenging their physical limits.

The distance is even longer. At 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, the situation has changed. The long-term technique running has gradually adapted the body to the process of energy provided by lactic acid. So, the athlete's final sprint will appear very powerful.

If someone suddenly tells you that a certain athlete can run 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1500 meters at the same time, everyone will say that it is impossible, but if this person is Zhang Guan, even professional sportspeople who are surprised will have to believe.

In the past two years, Zhang Guan has created too many miracles. Zhang Guan can achieve any achievements in track and field events. Especially for some ordinary people, they do not understand track and field, so their thinking is very simple. As the fastest person in the world, running in the first place is a matter of course. As for distance, they just ignore it!

...

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Guan met Liu Feiren.

"I heard that for the 1500 meters you are the first qualifying for the group?" Liu Feiren said enviously, "You are a monster! I can understand 800 meters, but you span from 100 meters to 1500 meters. It 's unprecedented! Will you try another 5,000 or 10,000 meters in the future?"

Zhang Guan shook his head, "Don't tease me, I will run up to 1500 meters. I can't support long-distance running. I suddenly ran the runway for dozens of laps and couldn't keep up with my strength!"

"Nonsense, everyone knows that you have a physical abnormality. Needless to say, 400 meters and 800 meters. Today's last sprint of 1500 meters, you can still save so much physical energy to rush so fast, but you still say that you are not strong enough? If you can't keep up, then I can't even jump over the first column!" Liu Feiren said frowning.

"You just watched the thief eat the meat and didn't watch the thief get beaten! My physical strength is sufficient, but my physical exertion is also greater than others! The distance of 1500 meters is okay. If it is longer, my physical exertion will be greater, and I won't be able to keep up with other athletes." Zhang Guan said.

"That is true, I forgot the point of physical exertion. To compare the physical exertion with that of long-distance runners, you are not worth the deal." Liu Feiren nodded his head in agreement.

Sprinters will be stronger and have a heavier weight, but middle runners will be slightly thinner. Although they look very thin, in terms of weight, middle-distance runners are not necessarily too light, because the muscle density of middle-distance runners is very large. The vast majority of long-distance runners are really thin and light.

Running the same distance, people with lightweight naturally consume less physical energy, and people with heavier weight will consume more physical energy. Due to his height, Zhang Guan's weight is slightly heavier than that of the average sprinter, and his energy consumption will be slightly higher than other sports.

This is a little more physical energy consumption, which can be ignored in sprinting. Sprinting is more about speed. As long as the speed can be increased, the athletes are willing to consume a little more physical energy.

In the middle-distance running, this slightly more physical energy consumption still has an impact on Zhang Guan, but the impact is not very obvious. Even if it is running 1500 meters, the entire time spent in the game is also within four minutes, which is more than other athletes. With a little physical strength, Zhang Guan can still afford it.

But when it comes to long-distance running, the situation is completely different. Athletes who run long-distance runs are very thin, much lighter than Zhang Guan, and the physical energy consumption for running the same distance is much smaller than Zhang Guan. This gap in physical exertion in short distances does not matter, but as the distance traveled in the race is long, the gap between physical exertion will increase by a factor of geometric growth. The aspect is even worse.

Liu Feiren's voice changed, and then said, "Has the coach mention the Track and Field World Cup to you?"

"Athletics World Cup?" Zhang Guan thought for a few seconds and asked, "Is it the one in September?"

"Yes, its the one in September. It seems that Coach Yu has not mentioned it with you yet. Coach Sun told me today that he wants to participate in the 110-meter hurdles. It is estimated that you must also participate in the track and field World Cup. Besides, there is a 200-meter event. It seems that you are going to participate in three sprint events. Take the gold medal in the three sprint events, think about the excitement!" Liu Feiren's eyes showed a look.

"Why do you think I will participate in a long jump event other than 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters? Can you give me a place?" Zhang Guan asked.

Liu Feiren thought about it very seriously and said, "I think there must be quotas. Long jumps are not the same as sprints. The number of sprinters is limited, and the extra-long jump plus one athlete quota has little effect."

In the sprint race, the athletes want to split up. Eight racetracks are for eight people. Occasionally, one more person is also nine people. If there are more racetracks, the number of participants cannot be lowered. Therefore, the number of participants must be fixed. However, in the rules of the long jump event, each athlete can jump three times, and the eight with the best performance will jump three more times. According to the rhythm of the long jump competition, the extra athlete is at most three or four minutes long. It does not have much impact on the game as a whole.

"It seems that I have to mention this to Director Ma and give me a place to compete for the long jump in the track and field World Cup. But it is not appropriate to say it now. Wait for tomorrow when the long jump final is over tomorrow if I can jump a good point I can go to Director Ma to ask for a place, the chance of success will be better and better." Zhang Guan thought silently.

...

On the third day of the National Athletics Championships, Zhang Guan will participate in the finals of the long jump and the 800-meter middle distance.

In the first long jump finals, a total of 12 athletes participated, many of whom were strong athletes, such as Li Dalong, the long jump champion of the 9th National Games, Zhou Can, the long jump runner-up of the Asian Athletics Championships, and Li Run, the defending champion of the national long jump events. All three have jumped out of the good result of 8.22 meters and have broken the 8.20 meters Olympic A mark.

The twelve contestants selected the lottery to determine the order of the test jumps. Each person tried to jump three times. After the three test jumps, the top eight with the best scores were arranged in reverse order of results, and then three test jumps were conducted.

The long jump event will be more advantageous when you go last. Zhang Guan has really good luck today and has drawn the tenth appearance. The two athletes who jumped after Zhang Guan was weak and the athletes who had a chance to win the championship game went before Zhang Guan.

In the long jump finals, it is often the latter three jumps that determine victory or defeat. For the strong athletes, the first three jumps will be used to adjust the game state, and the next three jumps they will sprint for good results; but if the strength is weak athletes will choose a more unrestrained style in the first three jumps, and strive to jump out of a good result and enter the top eight.

The first athlete to compete was Zhang Xin, who was the champion of the 10th National Games. Zhang Xin's first test jump jumped out of 7.81 meters. This is a very good result. It is certainly no problem to enter the top eight.

The second athlete to compete was Gu Junjie. He had to compete with Zhang Guan in the qualifying match. Perhaps because the finals were tight and affected the normal play, Gu Junjie stepped on the springboard marker, so he was sentenced to failure.

After that, the strength of several athletes is more general, and the results are generally between 7.4 meters and 7.7 meters.

The ninth National Games champion Li Dalong, who ranked sixth, did not perform well in the first jump. He made a few mistakes during the jump and eventually jumped only 7.42 meters. This result is very bad for him.

Immediately the next appearance is Li Run. Li Run won the long jump at the National Athletics Championship last year, so he played like the defending champion.

Li Run also participated in the World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Moscow in March. The ability to represent the national team in world-class competitions is enough to show that Li Run is very strong. He was also regarded as one of the favorites to win the long jump event before the game.

Although it was the first jump, Li Run did not hang a conservative jump. He was very unrestrained in this jump, and he also achieved success. The final score was 7.94 meters, which was very close to eight meters.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and the 7.94-meter result already ensured that Li Run entered the top eight. Also, Zhang Xin, who first played before, jumped 7.81 meters. This is only the first round. Two athletes can enter the top eight. For other athletes, the promotion quota is suddenly two fewer.

The next athlete to play is Zhou Can, who is also a very powerful long jumper. He won the runner-up in the 2003 Asian Track and Field Championships in the Philippines and the third runner-up in the Asian Track and Field Championships held in South Korea in 2005. In domestic competitions, he also won many championships such as Grand Prix and Indoor Games. So Zhou Can is another hot topic in the long jump.

Zhou Can is 27 years old this year. He is already a veteran, so his game experience is very rich, and his technical aspects are also very mature. His first jump chose a more normal jump method. The 7.73-meter result is quite satisfactory for him, but if you want to enter the top eight in this grade, you need to look at luck.

The ninth athlete was fouled for stepping on the line, and Zhang Guan came next.

Zhang Guan is still a rookie in the long jump event. His record in the official competition is only one figure, that is, the 8.05-meter result made in the qualifying match the day before, and because Zhang Guan only took the first jump in the qualifying match, he gave up the last two jumps, everyone has little understanding of Zhang Guan's long jump strength.

For Zhang Guan, whether Zhang Guan is at a normal level, or playing at a super level, or has not tried his best, no one knows, so the next game will be an excellent opportunity for everyone to judge Zhang Guan's long jump strength.

Zhang Guan stood in the running zone. After preparing for it, he then started running. The speed of the wind was exerted, which instantly attracted the envy of athletes and coaches.

The performance of the long jump has a great relationship with the speed of running. Every long jump athlete must be a good sprinter, and every long jump athlete hopes that he can have a faster approach speed. And who in the world is faster than the world record holder?

Zhang Guan quickly approaches the sand pool, and then made a jump. His toes were pressed against the springboard, far away from the marking, so this was a successful jump, but at the same time, it can also be said It was a relatively conservative jump.

Zhang Guan did not want to foul while using this conservative jump. He had a limited amount of time to practice long jump, and he is also confident in his strength. There is no need to use aggressive jumps for the first jump.

Next, Zhang Guan vacated and made the vacating action, which is still the most basic squat. However, from the height, Zhang Guan vacated, as long as there is no mistake in landing, the performance of this jump is good.

Then, Zhang Guan landed smoothly. He leaned forward and stood up, then walked out of the sand pool.

In the flat sand pond, an irregularly shaped pit appeared, and the edge of the pit had crossed the eight-meter line! The first jump crossed the eight-meter line!

The eyes of other contestants looked at the referee at the springboard almost at the same time ...
