"What? Break a national record!" Zhang Guan was taken aback by this task. Once the best level of Zhang Guan was only a national second-class athlete, the national record for Zhang Guan is so far away, it is simply an unclimbable peak.
"What kind of breaking system is this, and it is impossible to complete this task! How can the national record be broken so easily, if I can break the national record, what are I doing here. I'm only running for 10 seconds 38 now, the current national record is... …Oh, what is the national record..."
Zhang Guan suddenly remembered that the national record at this time didn't seem to be fast. It was about 10.10 seconds away.
"What time is it in ten seconds?" Zhang Guan recalled carefully. He only remembered Su Feiren who ran for 9 seconds and 99 seconds, but he still could not remember the current record of 100 meters.
Thinking about it, Zhang Guan walked down the runway and came to Chen Lao.
"Old Chen, I'm promoted." Zhang Guan trot all the way to old Chen.
"You just dropped a second place in a big way. You don't have to rush so hard in the preliminary rounds, you can guarantee the promotion, you don't have to do your best. After all, there will be a rematch after a while, you need to retain some physical strength." Chen Lao said.
"I know." Zhang Guan answered.
Mr. Chen pulled Zhang Guan closer and pointed to the guide Yu next to him to introduce: "This is Yu guide, the coach of the national team track and field team."
"Hello, Yu Gui!" Zhang Guan immediately greeted Yu Yu. He had noticed Yu Gui for a long time. After all, a bald man was so conspicuous. While Yu Gui was wearing a sports suit, Zhang Guan naturally imagined Yu Gui as a team coach. I didn't expect to be the coach of the national team.
"Old Chen is really smart, and he found a good young man again." Thinking of this, Yu Guipao patted Zhang Guan's shoulder and said, "Boy, I remember you. The next game runs well, as long as The results are not worse than now. If the national team has training in the future, I will definitely count you one!"
...
After watching Yu guide leave, Zhang Guancai asked: "Chen Lao, what is the national record of 100 meters now?"
"10 seconds 17. In 1998, Zhou Wei created at the National Athletics Grand Prix." Chen Lao turned his head to look at Zhang Guan and asked, "You ask what this is doing."
"It's okay. It's just a calculation of how much I'm still missing." Zhang Guan thought to himself: "Remember, the current national record is Zhou Wei's 10.17 seconds, I am only 0.21 seconds away, it seems not difficult. Just sprint The skill has been upgraded, and the effect and duration have been improved. Maybe it can reach this level."
Chen Lao next to him smiled and said, "Don't look at a mountain high, to be honest, your current achievement is considered to be as expected for me. Running like this, I might be able to get that medal with some luck. . As for the national record, work harder in the future and have a chance."
When talking about the 100-meter record, Chen Lao seemed a bit sorry. This national record has been maintained for five years, and no player has broken it. In Zhang Guan's memory, this result has been maintained for 13 years. It was not broken by Su Feiren until the 2011 National Athletics Championships.
Since 2004, with the retiring of a group of outstanding athletes who emerged in the late 1990s, the domestic 100-meter sprint event has fallen into a blue-green low tide. From 2004 to 2010, no domestic player ran into 10.20 seconds in the competition. Within.
...
The progress of the 100-meter game was very fast, and the eighteen games were finished in a blink of an eye. The coaches of each team quickly got the promotion list and the next group. At the same time, the name Zhang Guan quickly spread.
If the result of 10.38 seconds is placed in the previous year, it can already be regarded as the fourth fastest result in China that year, and this year's domestic athletes generally played well. This result is currently ranked fifth in the year. Suddenly, a person who is able to run out of this result will naturally attract the attention of the coaches of each team.
In the training system of domestic athletes, athletes are trained from an early age, and county-level sports teams select good seedlings from schools. County-level teams with good performances will be selected by municipal teams, and municipal-level teams with good results will be selected by provincial teams. In the selection, there are even sports schools at all levels, and so on. Excellent athletes have long been known under this layer of selection system, and at the level of provincial teams, they know each other better. It’s no secret that the athletes of which team are in good condition, and which talents are in the reserve force of which team. Even if the so-called "dark horse" appears in the game, it is an athlete that everyone already knows, but it is usually not paid attention to.
But today Zhang Guan apparently broke this tradition. His 10.38 second score was the first in the preliminary round, so his name spread quickly. At this time, the coaches of the teams realized that he knew nothing about the athlete. So the coaches of all teams have inquired about it, hoping to know the origin of Zhang Guan.
When everyone knew that Zhang Guan was a disciple selected by Chen Lao himself, he showed a sense of course. Chen Lao is a great figure in track and field, and it is natural that his disciples personally choose to have such excellence.
A rematch will be held soon. There were five games in the semi-finals. The top three in each group and the fourth best in the five groups entered the semi-finals. There were 16 people in total. The competition is still very fierce.
...
Chen Wenzhong was the sprint coach of the Guizhou Provincial Track and Field Team. When he was young, he was also a famous domestic sprinter. He broke the national record five times, including breaking the national men's 100-meter sprint record with 10.20 seconds in 1996. After Chen Wenzhong retired last year, he stayed on his own team and became a coach.
At this moment, Chen Wenzhong is holding the promotion list and the grouping list and is studying seriously.
"The fastest result in the preliminary round was 10 seconds and 38? Who rushed so hard? Don't you know that there will be two matches this morning? His name is Zhang Guan? Where did it come from? I have never heard of this person." Chen Wenzhong frowned.
The 10.38-second score in the eyes of Chen Wenzhong's coaches can be a brother of 100 meters in some provincial teams, and Guangdong and Guangxi provinces with the strongest sprint can also play an absolute main position.
When Coach Chen Wenzhong opened the quarter-finals group, He Ran found Zhang Guan and his team's main player Pang Guibin.
Pang Guibin is one of the provincial champions who won the 4x100m national championship in the 9th National Games. This player performed well in training, but his best result in the official game was 10 seconds 40. It is obviously slower than Zhang Guan.
Coach Chen then looked down and found two names in the list of the same group, namely Jinmen local player Wang Peng and Shancheng player Hu Kai.
"Wang Peng is a player who can run within 10 seconds and 30 seconds, and he is also a local player in Jinmen. This group is definitely to send Wang Peng to the semi-finals; Hu Kai is an athlete excavated by Professor Tsinghua Li two years ago, although 18 I started to practice sprinting at the age of 5, but my progress in the past year has been amazing. His score should be around 10 seconds and 40." Coach Chen thought of it while writing his estimated score behind the athlete's name.
"This group of Wang Peng is definitely the first. The next two promotion places should be Pang Guibin of our team and Hu Kai of Shancheng. However, this suddenly emerged Zhang Guan is an unknown factor, if he is really so fast , Pang Guibin and Hu Kaizhong will definitely be eliminated." Coach Chen drew a circle on Zhang Guan's name, and then put a question mark.
After a few minutes of thinking, Coach Chen called Pang Guibin forward and whispered: "You should pay attention to the first championship in the first round; it may be a coincidence that he can run for 10 seconds 38, but it does not rule out that he really has this. Strength, so don’t stay focused when you run, with the main goal of qualifying for the semi-finals!"
At the same time, the coaches of the Jinmen and Shancheng teams are also using the same words to tell Wang Peng and Hu Kai. These coaches may not have a good performance in the past, but their brains are better than one. Originally, in this group of eight advances and three, there was suddenly an unknown factor such as Zhang Guan, so the coach was also more stable in strategy selection.
Chen Lao also called Zhang Guan forward, ready to do pre-match guidance.
Looking at the grouping list in his hand, Chen Lao wanted to introduce Zhang Guan to the other athletes in the same group. What are the notable features, but then Chen Lao thought that it was useless to talk to a beginner about the technical characteristics, and said Zhang Guan It may not be understood, and it takes time to digest and understand. So Lao Chen simply put down the grouping list and said, "Run well in a while and strive to qualify!"
...
The organizers of the competition took into account the strength factor when they were grouped. Each of the five groups had two or three strong athletes. Therefore, there were no upsets in the next round of the match, and the strong players successfully advanced to the semifinals. .
Zhang Guan's group is the last round to play, plus the presence of the strongest local player Wang Peng, so it has a lot of spectators.
The moment Zhang Guan stood on his own track, it instantly attracted most of the eyes inside and outside the stadium. Both athletes and coaches want to know who is the athlete who can race 10.38 seconds at the beginning, even the referee Can't help but glance at Zhang Guan more.
However, most people look at Zhang Guan’s eyes with suspicion. Zhang Guan looks at the age of 17 or 18 years old. He was even unknown before. It is impossible to have too strong a competitive level. The preliminary round was 10.38 seconds. The result may be a coincidence, and this rematch will also be the end of his game.
On the runway, Zhang Guan had a smile on his face, looking at the finish point with a very expectant look.
"Expert-level sprint skills have greatly improved. I don't know if I can do my best to break the national record. But this is only a rematch. As long as you qualify, you should not have to do your best." Zhang Guan thought to himself. .
At this point, the starting gunshot sounded, Zhang Guan rushed out for the first time, but immediately found that he was ahead of him by a small half!
Zhang Guan fell behind again...
