The final of the men’s 400-meter sprint is held on the last day of the World Indoor Athletics Championships. On the same day, there is also the final of the men’s 4-by-400-meter sprint. The two games are only one and a half hours apart.
For the US team, there are two options for this day's game, one is to fight for the gold medal in the 400-meter sprint, and the other option is to give up the 400-meter sprint strategically and sprint 4 by 400 meters. Gold medal for sprint.
In the 400-meter competition, in addition to Zhang Guan, the other athletes who entered the 400-meter final should have the strongest defending champion Ereni-Francico.
Francico is a Grenada athlete who once entered the 400m finals of the Athens Olympics and achieved a good fourth place. At that time, his score in the Athens Olympics finals was 44.66 seconds, which can also be regarded as the world The top athlete.
Of course, Francico is determined to defend the title. He thought that his biggest match was Campbell, but he did not expect to win a crown halfway. Although the score of 45.63 seconds in the semi-final is not very high, it can already be in this I got a medal in the level competition.
What Francisco cares about is Zhang Guan's special running style. Francisco can feel that Zhang Guan did not do his best in the semi-finals, that is, there is still much room for improvement. Francisco still felt guilty about running 45.50 seconds abroad.
Francisco's 400-meter running method is special. He is an athlete who mainly runs in the early stage. He started running quickly after starting. After that, the second 100 meters will still run fast, and the third 100 meters will be fast, and then lead to the last 100 meters, but in the last 100 meters. Because of the earlier physical exertion, the speed will slow down, and his last 100 meters will take more than 12 seconds. There are not many top athletes who use this running method.
In the Athens Olympics finals, Francico was the first athlete to enter the last 100 meters. When entering the last 100 meters, Franco was 0.2 seconds faster than Varina of the United States, but he only won the fourth place. . Because Vernco spent 0.86 seconds longer than Varina in the last 100 meters, it was 0.66 seconds slower.
In terms of targetedness, Francisco's running style is very restrained for athletes with poor physical strength, because in the last 100 meters, everyone can't run fast, so Francico's advantage in front is enough to let him win the championship ; But if you meet a very good athlete. If a sprint in the last 100 meters, Francico will be overtaken.
Zhang Guan is obviously the best athlete in the world to sprint in the last 100 meters.
...
At 9:30 pm Moscow time, the final of the men's 400-meter sprint officially began.
With a gunshot, the athlete's starting and running can be smooth. After all, it is a 400-meter sprint race, and almost no athlete will go for a run. But the game has just started, and many coaches have started to show signs.
"The Americans gave up the 400-meter dash!" Yu Guizuo sighed.
On the field. The American players who participated in the finals did not do their best, but it seemed like running a practice game, obviously giving up the gold medal. For the US team, they will participate in the 4-by-400-meter final after an hour and a half. They are unwilling to spend their energy in the single event of the 400-meter sprint.
Zhang Guan still runs at his own rhythm, but Francisco follows his usual style of running, and runs very fast in the early stage.
Franco took the lead in the straight at this stage. He is about 0.3 seconds faster than Zhang Guan.
"Going straight, I will try to use this distance to gain an advantage." Francico's speed has accelerated.
After all, the straight is better than the curve. Even if Zhang Guan does not change his rhythm, the speed is still slightly faster than the curve, but it is still a little slower than Franco accelerating. It's just that the explosive power of this athlete, Francisco, is more common among 400-meter athletes, which also affects his performance in the straight.
This section is the fastest section of the 400-meter athletes. The athletes generally can still run to 11 seconds, but due to the starting position, the athletes seem to have forwards and backwards, which greatly affects the appreciation of the game.
At the end of the 200 meters, Francico was slightly slower and began to adjust the rhythm. Although Francisco's explosive power is average, the cornering technique is still very good, and he is very good at accelerating in corners, especially the third 100 meters. His speed is definitely the top class athlete in the world.
Under normal circumstances, Francesco's third 100-meter time can also be maintained at about 11 seconds. His sprint point is probably after 230 meters. This is also his last chance to widen the gap with his opponent.
"This Francico ran fast in front! According to this calculation, his first 300 meters pulled down the crown for more than a second and a half! But fortunately, this way of running, the last 100 meters must have no energy to sprint." Guidance Yu only frowned slightly, but he was very relieved of Zhang Guan because he knew that Zhang Guan could completely overtake Francesco with the sprint of the last 100 meters.
Professionals who watched the game also understood that the sprint of Francisco's previous run was definitely slow in the last 100 meters, but Zhang Guan's final sprint was surprisingly fast, so the focus of this game became Franc How much advantage can Xico get in the first three hundred meters, can the advantage he get make up for the disadvantage in the last hundred meters sprint.
The so-called expert looks at the doorway, the layman looks lively. Compared with professional sports coaches and athletes, the audience on the scene was obviously a group of laymen. They only saw that Francico ran fast in front. They only saw that Francico led the other athletes by a large margin and rushed in first. The last straight runway, and therefore, they gave cheers to Francico.
"Francico! Take the lead! Sprint...Francico!" The on-site commentator shouted Francico's name loudly, and at this time, Zhang Guan also entered the final 100 meters. There is a gap of more than 1.5 seconds between the two.
In the 400-meter sprint race, the gap within 0.5 seconds is easy to make up for the last 100-meter sprint; if the gap is within 1 second, although the difficulty is a bit larger, it may still be over at the last moment; but The 1.5 second gap is almost impossible to overtake.
Although Francisco's final 100m speed is relatively slow, it can almost run to 12.5 seconds, which is much better than the domestic athletes' results in the last 100 meters and 14 seconds. If you want to narrow the gap of 1.5 seconds, Zhang Guan's last 100 meters need to run within 11 seconds.
In the 400-meter sprint race, it is extremely difficult to run into the last 100 meters in 11 seconds. In addition to the athlete’s explosive power, the athlete needs a good physical reserve in the previous 300 meters.
Zhang Guan is not short of these two points, he has both. After all, his physical energy consumption in the front three hundred meters is only half, so his last 100-meter sprint ran into 11 seconds is almost a matter of rigidity.
...
After entering the straight runway, Francico already felt a little powerless, he knew that he would slow down immediately, and then, he could only stick to the end with inertia and strong will.
"With such a big gap, Zhang Guan should not be able to surpass me!" The idea flashed from Franco's mind, but at the same time, the narrator suddenly shouted Zhang Guan's name!
"Woo..." The audience in the venue made a startled voice, followed by a strong cry and cheers.
"What's the matter?" Francico felt the atmosphere change at the scene, but he didn't look back. His eyes were fixed on the finish line, because he felt that there was not much energy left, so he had to concentrate. It is easier for people to be resilient when they are focused, so that they can continue to maintain a certain speed and reach the end.
At this very moment, Zhang Guan came up from behind and went side by side with Franco, and this side by side did not maintain even for a second. Zhang Guan passed directly from Franco.
"It's Zhang Guan! It seems faster than it was in the semi-finals! He did not do his best in the semi-finals!" Francico panicked. The most feared thing he encountered was an athlete with a strong sprint ability.
Francico's physical strength has bottomed out. At this time, he can't maintain the original explosive power. His early running method is also destined to cause this result. For Francico, every step forward now feels so difficult, every step forward is clenched, and each step is a struggle between willpower and physical strength.
In this physical state, if you are in a leading position, willpower will easily take the upper hand, and if it is exceeded, there will definitely be looseness in willpower, and the feeling of lack of physical strength will become more obvious.
Francico is still working very hard, but his speed has slowed down involuntarily, especially the moment Zhang Guan surpassed him, his confidence to win was hit by a heavy blow, which is directly reflected in the speed.
"Zhang Guan! Overtaken! He completed the lead in the final moment! Toward the finish line! To the line!" The narrator took a breath and then said: "Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning the men's 400-meter sprint!"
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the results column. Zhang Guan won his first indoor 400-meter sprint championship with a score of 44.87 seconds, and ran again within 45 seconds. Francesco 45.43 seconds, compared to Zhang The crown was more than half a second slower, and the third place was Bahamas Brown, with a final score of 45.78 seconds.
The 400m sprint champion of the World Indoor Athletics Championship and the results within 45 seconds, Zhang Guan has been able to enter the top 20 of the 400m sprint. He is already qualified to register for the 400m race in the Golden League of Track and Field.
The U.S. team that gave up the individual 400-meter sprint event also won the championship in the next 4-by 400-meter race.
...
With the end of the women's 4 by 400 meters in the last event, the current indoor track and field world championships also came to an end. Host Russia ranks first with 8 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze, while the US team is second only to Russia with 7 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, ranking second, and tied for third place with the Chinese team, Ukraine and Ethiopia. Two gold medals. (To be continued.)
