The men's short track speed skating 500m event is the one with the most contestants in short track speed skating. It can be regarded as the "100m sprint" in short track speed skating, but this item is not the strength of the national team. In this level of competition, a game will only accommodate four players, so the competition for the final place becomes more intense.
In the first group match, Zhang Guan debuted in the fifth group. There was no strong player in the same group, and Zhang Guan advanced smoothly. The veteran Ma Yunfeng appeared in the sixth favorite group afterwards. In the same group were Italian Confortla and Canadian star Trepre, and Ma Yunfeng unfortunately failed to advance to the next round. And Han Jialiang, who played in the eighth group, only one Japanese player in the same group is still somewhat strong. As a result, he also successfully advanced to the first group.
The 500m final will be held on February 27th, and that day is also the final day of the short track speed skating.
"The 500m is a strong man! I heard that world record holder Sheng Xibei has given up the relay race in order to win gold in this project. However, the Korean team's plan cannot keep up with the changes. Li Zhengzhu was suspended and Sheng Xibei still had to participate in the relay race. Coach Li Bing continued: "In addition, the strength of Canadian player Hamelin should not be underestimated! In terms of strength, he can definitely challenge Sheng Xibei."
"Hamelin, he played against him in the previous 1000m finals, but he didn't think he was great." Zhang Guan said.
"Hamelin's strength in the short distance is much stronger than that in the long distance. You remember that when he raced in the 1000 meters, Hamelin even led the skate once. His speed is not inferior to that of the Koreans, but the 1000 meters are going to slide. 9 laps, his physical strength in the second half may not be able to support. But 500 meters only need to slide 4 and a half laps, which just can play the strengths of Hamelin." Coach Li Bing continued: "So you have to be faster in the game Some, I even feel that in the finals, achievements within 41 seconds may not necessarily win the championship."
"Isn't the 500-meter world record 41 seconds 051? Is it impossible to win a championship with a world record?" Zhang Guan asked with some surprise.
"Yeah, the information we have, Sheng Xibei and Hamelin, both have the strength to slide within 41 seconds. There is even news that they have already achieved results within 41 seconds." Coach Li Bing continued.
"Really? That's great. It seems that the 500-meter finals don't need to retain their strength!" Zhang Guan said excitedly.
"Retain strength?" Coach Li Bing opened her eyes in surprise. If a record breaking world record is to retain strength, Li Bing doesn't believe 10,000.
However, what he said from Zhang Guan's mouth revealed a strong sense of self-confidence and persuasion, and it also gave coach Li Bing a feeling in his heart. Zhang Guan really retained his strength in the previous game .
...
On February 28, the last race day of short track speed skating, three gold medals for short track speed skating were decided in the Pacific Stadium on that day. They were the women's 1,000 meters, men's 500 meters and men's 5000 meters relay race.
In this Winter Olympics, the women’s short-track speed skating team has won three gold medals, including a gold medal in the relay race. All gold medals for women's short track speed skating.
But the most watched competition is undoubtedly the men’s 500m final. After all, the shorter the distance, the faster the speed, the more intense the competition of the athletes, the more exciting the competition process, and the more ornamental. Strong.
The first to start is the men's 500m quarterfinals. Judging from the grouping situation, Zhang Guan's group and the group are good. The same group includes German student Tyson and British player Avery. The strength of the two can only be regarded as middle-up, not ranking the top in the world. Zhang Guanhe got the promotion smoothly.
The form of the grouping of another member of the national team, Han Jialiang, is very grim. Canadian Oliver and South Korean player Li Haoxi are in the same group. Li Haoxi's strength is definitely the first in the group, while Oliver is very good at short distance, so Han Jialiang only ranked third in the group, missed the semifinals.
The death group is the first group. Canadian Hamelin and South Korean player Sheng Xibei, two of the world's top players, met in advance.
"World record! Hamelin! 40 seconds 988, Hamelin entered the 41-second mark! Hamelin broke Sheng Xibei's men's 500-meter short track speed skating world record! And this was the result of a contest with Sheng Xibei "The narrator shouted loudly, and the scene was completely boiling.
After all, this is Hamelin's home court. Although this is only the quarter-finals, the host player broke the world record, enough to make the audience fall into a few minutes of cheers.
In the quarter-finals, Hamelin successfully broke the world record for men's 500-meter short track speed skating, qualifying as the group's first. Of course, Sheng Xibei also won the qualifying, but at the moment he is unhappy, the second place in the group is still second, the key is that the world record he holds is broken, and he is still broken in his own face, which seems to Sheng Xibei It is undoubtedly a provocation.
All three players of the South Korean team successfully reached the semi-finals, in addition to Zhang Guan, Hamelin and Oliver of Canada, British Avery, and Apollo of the United States entered the semi-finals.
There are two games in the semi-finals. The first two of the group advance to the finals of group a to compete for medals.
In the semi-finals, Zhang Guan met Hamelin. The other two in the same group were South Korean players Li Haoxi and Guo Runqi. The other four were divided into another group.
When the game reached the semi-final stage, the competition was already very fierce. For example, in Zhang Guan's group, all three opponents were strong, and the two Korean players became weaker. Hamelin, who has just broken the world record, is probably to maintain physical strength, so he did not work hard, and eventually joined Zhang Guan to advance to the Group A finals.
Subsequently, Sheng Xibei also appeared, the three people in the same group with him are European and American players.
"950 seconds in 40 seconds! Sheng Xibei! He successfully regained the world record! It was really unexpected that Hamelin's world record was only maintained for half an hour and was refreshed by Sheng Xibei here. It looks like the next final will be a needlepoint The top match against Maimang!"
Sheng Xibei, who appeared in the second group, showed absolute strength. He used a new world record to successfully counter Hamelin's provocation. This result seems to be telling Hamelin that he is still the strongest in the world!
The audience at the scene also sent warm applause to Sheng Xibei. Although they hope that their domestic player Hamelin will win, they even hope to see a wonderful game. And in half an hour, the world record was twice refreshed, which is obviously worth it. Today's fare, next, the two men will have to compete in the finals, this is definitely the most exciting and exciting match of the Winter Olympics.
Another qualifying place was taken by American Apollo. Apollo has the nickname "Prince of America", and he is also the defending champion of the men's 500m short track speed skating. That is to say, at the Turin Winter Olympics four years ago, he once defeated the Korean player. To the gold medal of this project. And four years later, Apollo certainly hopes that he can successfully defend his title.
"It's so gunpowder-smelling! If you don't try your best, you might lose!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath and felt a sense of tension in his heart, and this tension was pleasant, even more Exciting.
Zhang Guan vaguely remembered that the last time he brought this feeling to him was Bolt. In the face of Bolt, who has the strength to break the world record, the desire to win in Zhang Guan's heart is even stronger. Today, there are two people in front of him, both of whom have the strength to break the world record, which makes Zhang Guan feel bloody.
"I finally found this game interesting!" Zhang Guan's eyes revealed an excited look.
...
"The game begins! Hamelin grabbed the top spot!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the audience applauded Hamelin who was fighting at home.
Hamelin was really good at starting. In the previous 1000m final, he also grabbed the first place. Today's 500m final, he also successfully grabbed the first position in the first corner.
However, compared with 1000 meters, the 500-meter head is obviously more meaningful, and the advantage is relatively larger. It takes 9 laps at 1000 meters. Hamelin's physical strength is not enough to lead to the finish line, but with only half the distance of 500 meters, Hamelin is absolutely capable of keeping the first place to cross the finish line.
Sheng Xibei successfully grabbed the second position, Zhang Guan followed behind Sheng Xibei, and the "American Prince" Apollo fell to fourth place.
Although there are some positions between each other, in fact, this kind of order is nothing at all in the game. It is impossible to pull a large distance in the 500-meter game. In the duel of the same level, as long as it does not happen Mistakes, even before the finish line, the gap between the first and fourth places will not exceed 0.3 seconds, which is very similar to the 100-meter sprint.
And the same as the 100-meter sprint, in the 500-meter short track speed skating, every 0.01 second progress of the world's top athletes is extremely difficult. In 0.3 seconds, it was an insurmountable gap before the end.
The first lap is about to end, and the speed of the athletes has been improved. Sheng Xibe in the second place obviously does not want to lag behind Hamelin. He turned to the outside, ready to overtake Hamelin.
Hamelin has been paying attention to Sheng Xibe's movements. He finds that Sheng Xibe wants to surpass, and he also moved his body and made defensive moves in the first place. However, what Hamelin did not expect was that this was just Sheng Xibei's fake move. At the next moment, Sheng Xibei suddenly turned to the inside and then surpassed Hamelin.
"Damn Asian, with such a thin body, you can get through the neutral gear at this point!" Hamelin vomited.
It is said that the inner space left by Hamelin is not large. If it is a tall European and American, it may not be possible to pass through. But Sheng Xibei's body is obviously more slender than Europeans. Sheng Xibei, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, weighs only 60 kilograms. This seems to be very thin among ordinary Asian men, and the muscle density of athletes is more Tall, so it is even thinner. Therefore, in the same space, European and American athletes can't get through, but Korean athletes can get through.
Sheng Xibei successfully obtained the leading position, and he also knows that to control the lead, it is not enough to rely on defense, but also needs faster speed. The latter Hamelin is also waiting for the opportunity to regain his place.
The game entered the second lap of the contest. If it is in other levels of competition, it should enter a short period of stalemate, but in the 500-meter game, the competition has become more intense.
Hamelin wanted to overtake Sheng Xibei, and at the same time, Zhang Guan was also ready to surpass the previous two.
"It's Zhang Guan!" Sheng Xibei and Hamelin were alert at the same time.
The fourth-placed Apollo was also unwilling to be lonely, but the short track speed skating track was not wide enough to accommodate Apollo, so on the second lap, he just tried it and then retreated.
At the same time, Zhang Guan and Hamelin have kept pace.
"Zhang Guan is really fast!" Hamelin felt the heavy pressure. At this time, he had already felt that Zhang Guan was indeed better than himself in terms of the fastest speed.
"If you want to hold Zhang Guan, you must use the curve in front!" Hamelin decided to stay on the line and stick to the curve.
The two entered the corner at the same time, but the difference was that Hamelin was on the inside and Zhang Guan was on the outside, which means Zhang Guan would have to walk a longer distance. But the two are still keeping pace.
Zhang Guan's speed is faster than Hamelin. Even if he walks outside in a curve, he can still stay parallel to Hamelin.
Hamelin insisted to the end of the curve. After entering the straight again, he still did not hold his position and was surpassed by Zhang Guan.
"I didn't hold it, it was all by speed, no tricks, and it was not the same as Sheng Xibei. Is this a gap in strength?" Hamelin thought to himself.
The game has come to the third lap and Zhang Guan has come to the second position. However, because Hamelin kept the inner line tightly, and followed closely behind Sheng Xibei, there was no room to enter, so Zhang Guan could not turn into the inside.
Zhang Guan, however, did not care that he would slide some more distance. He was not eager to enter the inside, but prepared to continue to surpass Sheng Xibei.
"Zhang Guan is catching up!" Sheng Xibe could notice a red figure behind him.
"He shouldn't have surpassed it in this period of time. Now he has entered the third lap. The final sprint will start at the third half of the lap. At this time, it should be adjusted to prepare for the final sprint. If it is consumed now If physical force is exceeded, Ken will affect the last sprint!"
Sheng Xibe was thinking, but Zhang Guan had already surpassed him.
"What? Zhang Guan dares to surpass at this time! Is he confident in himself? Or does he have no game experience at all?"
In three and a half laps, Zhang Guan successfully came to the first position, and at this time there was only one lap left from the end point, and the final battle was about to come.
The first to take action is the last one, Apollo. Of course, he will not stay in the fourth place all the time, so he surpassed the front Hamelin.
At almost the same time, Hamelin also began to accelerate, and his goal was Sheng Xibei.
"Just now Zhang Guan forcibly surpassed me. He certainly hasn't adjusted it yet. His sprint will be a little slower. Taking advantage of it now, he will overtake it!" Sheng Xibei thought of this and immediately started to surpass Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan, however, did not adjust as Sheng Xibei imagined. Instead, he turned into a wild horse and rushed forward.
"Zhang Guan sprinted! So strong! Is this the real strength of Zhang Guan!" Sheng Xibei sighed.
The cry of the audience on the scene has reached the extreme. At this time, the situation on the scene may change every second.
With the last corner left after the game, Apollo wanted to replicate the kind of transcendence that Sheng Xibe had over Hamelin at the beginning of the game. He also chose the inside, but he underestimated his figure and also underestimated Hamelin’s Be prepared. Hamelin once suffered a loss on Sheng Xibei, and naturally will not lose for the second consecutive time. As a result, Apollo accidentally pressed the line when surpassing. This is a foul in the game and will inevitably be cancelled.
And Hamelin also lost the opportunity to surpass Sheng Xibei because of defending Apollo. If Zhang Guan and Sheng Xibei did not make mistakes before, he could only accept the result of the bronze medal.
Sheng Xibei also knew that this corner might be his last chance, so he tried his best.
"I don't believe I will lose to you!" Sheng Xibei fully accelerated.
"I will definitely win!" Zhang Guan has the same belief in his heart. The difference is that Zhang Guan does not have the word "lose" in his dictionary.
This is a competition of real speed, a competition of strength. Sheng Xibei showed the resilience of the world champion. Instead of playing tricks like other South Korean players, he challenged Zhang Guan with his own strength.
Zhang Guan ignored the challenge of Sheng Xibei at all, because there was only one thing in his eyes, and that was the end. He has only one goal and rushes past as fast as possible!
...
"1500 meters, 1000 meters, now 500 meters, is Zhang Guan going to win again?" Coach Li Bing's hand began to tremble with difficulty. The closer to the finish line, the more tense his heart was, but the time seemed like Getting longer and longer, coach Li Bing even has a feeling of living like a new year.
"Time is so slow, time is so slow!" Coach Li Bing's breath suddenly froze, his eyes wide open, not afraid to miss every subtle movement of Zhang Guan.
The finish line is near, coach Li Bing has already blushed. At this time, he seems to be a volcano about to erupt.
"Ahhhhh!" Coach Li Bing raised his hands and shouted: "Crossing the line! It's Zhang Guan! Win, let's win!"
The volcano inside Coach Li Bing finally erupted completely at this moment... (to be continued.)
