Zhang Guan took the lead and crossed the finish line, and the advantage was very obvious.
Sheng Xibei looked ahead, Zhang Guan was really too much ahead of himself, especially in the last sprint, the gap between the two was widened a lot.
"How could there be such a big gap? Is my speed too slow?" Sheng Xibei looked at the time card and he found his score.
"At 40 seconds 115, my score is very close to the 40 seconds mark. My speed is not slow, but I still lag behind Zhang Guan so much. Is Zhang Guan already within 40 seconds?" Sheng Xibei immediately looked at Zhang The crown's performance changed immediately.
Although Hamelin was the third to cross the finish line, he was frustrated.
"I actually only got the third place, Sheng Xibei is already strong enough, but I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be even stronger than Sheng Xibei!"
Before the game, Hamelin was full of confidence in himself, because his strength has been able to slide into less than 41 seconds, and he can already break the world record. In Hamelin's understanding, he can break the world record and definitely get a gold medal.
However, what Hamelin did not expect was that he was not only capable of breaking the world record, but also two other people, but also two more powerful people.
Hamelin looked at his results, 40 seconds 229, he was only a little more than 0.1 seconds slower than Sheng Xibei, and if you look at the results alone, Hamelin can be considered satisfactory, but this result can only get a bronze medal.
"I just slipped pretty well. Although I didn't reach the best level during training, it wasn't much worse. The gap with Sheng Xibei was not much, but Zhang Guan was far ahead of us by so much. How fast is it?"
...
"Hamelin, 229 in 40 seconds, this is a record breaking world record, but he only won the third place!"
"Sheng Xibei, 40 seconds 115, faster than Hamelin. It is also a record that can break the world record, but it is only a silver medal. In front of them, Zhang Guan won the championship with an absolute advantage, then Zhang Guan's score is ..."
The narrator pulled a long tone and said aloud: "38 seconds 998! Zhang Guan, not only entered the 40 second mark, but also entered the 39 second mark! He raised the world record of 500 meters by 1.5 seconds, It’s unbelievable! Unbelievable results! I didn’t expect Zhang Guan to be so much faster than Sheng Xibei and Hamelin."
Others set the world record by the 0.1 second level, and Zhang Guan raised the world record by 1.5 seconds. This is a progress that may not be achieved for decades in short-distance racing.
"Is this the real strength of Zhang Guan? It is 1.5 seconds faster than the world record. This new world record may not be broken within 20 years!" Coach Li Bing suddenly thought of Zhang Guan before the game. That remark.
"Three projects, three gold medals, three world records! It turns out that what Zhang Guan said is true. In the previous game, he really kept his strength..." Coach Li Bing thought of this, but his eyes were clear. An excited look.
"Now the six gold medals produced by short track speed skating have been taken by us. In the next women's 1000m final, we have two players participating, and the South Korean team has only one person. We have a great chance of winning the championship. And In the final men's relay race, there is Zhang Guan, and we also have hope! As long as Zhang Guan is arranged on the last stick, we have a chance to win..."
Coach Li Bing began to think about the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay race.
...
In the women’s 1000m final, the Chinese women’s team will live up to expectations and add another gold. The national team also won all seven gold medals produced by short track speed skating.
The next is the men's 5,000-meter relay race, which is also the last event of short track speed skating.
The four teams that entered the relay are Canada, the United States, South Korea and China. In terms of strength, the Chinese team is not dominant, but now with Zhang Guan, the situation is completely different.
In the short track speed skating relay race, there are also four players in each team, a total of 45 laps at 5000 meters. However, unlike track and field relays, short-track speed skating relays do not specify the number of laps that each team member can glide. They can be substituted at any time during the competition. The only requirement is that the first person to skate A full lap, and the last relay must finish the last two laps.
Therefore, under this rule, the athletes’ transfer sticks are also more casual, but in order to maintain speed, they are often handed over from one and a half to two laps, which means that in the course of a game, each player Always play four or five times. Of course, if you want to slide 42 laps by one person, it is not impossible for the other three people to lap one by one, but that speed is not dominant. After all, normal athletes can at most maintain two full laps at a full speed and the distance is longer The speed will drop.
In addition, there is no baton in the short track speed skating relay. In the game, the baton can enter the track at any time, and maintain the gliding attitude, waiting for the bachelor to come, and the bachelor only needs to be in his After a sharp push, even if the handover stick is completed.
Therefore, the basic process of short track relay races is generally like this: a starts to slide, and then passes to b after one and a half to two laps, b slides one and a half to two laps to c, and c then slides one and a half to two Turn over to d in one lap, and then hand over to a after one and a half to two laps. At this time, a has come to rest, so it can still keep the fastest speed, and then give b, then c, and so on, until the game End.
Basically, the interval between each game's two appearances is four to six laps, and the interval is also close to 1 minute, which is enough for the athlete's body to come to rest, and then play full strength to sprint in the next play.
Every athlete is trying their best to fight when they are on the field, without having to consider the physical problems. Anyway, only two laps can be taken to rest, so in this event, the fast and explosive players have an advantage. Those players who are good at long distance combat and have strong follow-up capabilities are not as good as those who can rush in short distances.
At the same time, it is precisely because everyone slides two laps at most on the field, so the distance between the players will not be widened. This is like sprinting. If you only run 20 meters, it is estimated that there is not much difference between Liu Feiren and Bolt. If you are 40 meters, you will definitely lead Bolt. The gap between the two people at 60 meters will be pulled. If it reaches 100 M, the result is self-evident.
In two laps, the leading advantage that can be obtained is too limited, and the competition will be disturbed by the opponent when handing over the baton, and the hand will also lose time. Therefore, the 5000m short track speed skating relay race, the first 43 laps It is difficult to gain a decisive advantage, the key is to look at the last two laps.
The rules require that the last two laps must be completed by the same athlete. After completing the last handover, there will be no obstacles on the track. The speed of the last player's sprint will directly determine the result of the game.
...
"To be honest, if there is no Zhang Guan, our three opponents are stronger than us." Coach Li Bing looked at his team members, and then said: "I don't need to say more about the Korean team, everyone knows how powerful they are. And For athletes in European and American countries, it may not be reliable for them to slide long distances, but the level at short distances is not weak at all. If everyone only slides one and a half to two laps, they may have more advantages. Especially Canada!"
Coach Li Bing specifically said to Zhang Guan: "Hamelin of the Canadian team, you have just learned in the 500m final. He was very fast in the first half of the game. If it is only two laps, it is just in his Advantage period. And he has a younger brother, Francois Hamelin, although not as dazzling as his brother, but also very strong in short-range explosiveness."
"But aren't we very powerful in short-range explosiveness?" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"That's right, short-range explosiveness is indeed our strength." Coach Li Bing nodded.
Subsequent weakness in the second half of the game is a big problem for the men’s short track speed skating of the national team. This can be clearly seen from the game. In many games, the male players of the Chinese team often rush at the beginning of the game. In the front, lead slip is also a common thing, but in the middle and late stages, it will always be surpassed by other opponents, and in the final sprint, it will even be pulled apart by a large gap, which is caused by the subsequent physical strength.
But if you only slide one and a half to two laps, the Chinese team is regarded as the world's top level, saying that it is not as good as the opponent. If it is coach Li Bing's modesty, in fact, in the relay race, at least can compete with several other teams. .
"Another thing we should pay attention to is, don't make mistakes when handing over the stick." Li Bing said very solemnly.
In the short track speed skating relay, the handover baton is very simple. Pushing it right behind it is considered to be a handover, but the receiver cannot stand there and wait for the handover to push. Distance, this is the same reason as the run-up in track and field relay races, and short-track speed skating is obviously faster than sprint, and it runs without distinction, plus the situation on the field is changing rapidly, so it will always happen If the passer cannot come directly behind the passer, he cannot complete the pass, and this is even a mistake in passing the pass.
However, unlike track and field competitions, short-track speed skating relays have no problem with handover batons. The big deal is to allow athletes to slide half a lap. Another player can immediately enter the field and wait for the next hand-over baton. It's just that in this half-slip circle, due to physical exertion, the speed will definitely decrease. Therefore, the failure of the short track speed skating relay will not be as eye-catching as the track and field relay, but it is inevitable to affect the speed.
...
For coach Cui Guangfu, his future has been bleak. In the short track speed skating event, men and women produced a total of seven gold medals, and none of them won South Korea. This is obviously not worthy of the status of the world’s strongest short track speed skating country. This can even be regarded as the Korean short track speed. The worst defeat in the history of skaters, so someone must be responsible for it. This kind of thing will definitely not be punished for the athletes. Cui Guangfu, the head coach, is the first candidate to bear the blame, so Cui Guangfu sent a resignation letter and was ready to step down.
"It's always better to resign than to be removed! I hope the ice union can look at my role for the national team for many years and give me a chance to resign." Cui Guangfu coach thought secretly.
At this time, Cui Guangfu's depressed mood also affected his team members. Even Sheng Xibei, who had just received the silver medal, had an unspeakable sadness on his face.
The continuous defeat has made the South Korean team unintentionally love to fight. At this time, the South Korean players hope that the game will end soon, let them leave the sadly.
While next to it, the Canadian team is so aggressive.
The Canadian team playing at home is of high morale, especially in team sports, this home advantage will be magnified several times.
This is the case with sports. The larger the scale, the more people participate in the sport, and the more powerful the home field will be. So in football, it is easier to give birth to some demons at home. The atmosphere created when tens of thousands of people cheer on the spot will instantly increase the morale of the home players and make the away players feel invisible pressure. This increase in the morale of the home team or the weakening of the pressure on the visiting team will affect 10 people on the court in basketball, 12 people in volleyball, and 22 people in football. Occasionally it also affects one or two coaches with poor mental quality. Therefore, according to this calculation, football should be the sport most affected by home and away.
Of course, there is nothing strange about the size of the world, there will always be some wonderful flowers. For example, 0 to 1 at home to Syria in the battle.
...
Song Weilong was the first player to debut on the national team. His starting slip was the best in the national team. In fact, he did not disappoint coach Li Bing. After the first corner, Song Weilong successfully won the national team. First-hand.
Zhang Guan was next scheduled to debut on the second stick, followed by Ma Yunfeng, followed by Liu Xianwei. Among them, Ma Yunfeng's strength is 500 meters short track speed skating, and Liu Xianwei can almost be regarded as a full-time relay player. The two men successfully maintained the national team's advantage. Canada, South Korea and the United States ranked second.
On the 12th lap, the South Korean team took the lead and tried to improve their position through outreach, but in the end it failed, and then several other teams also launched the offensive, but an athlete only had one and a half to two laps In addition to the speed loss at the time of handover, it is indeed unrealistic to go ahead. The ranks of several teams have not changed.
At the critical moment, Hamelin became powerful. He surpassed Song Weilong on the 24th lap and took the Canadian team to the first place. Then Hamelin began to exert force, and the speed gradually accelerated. The next best brother Hamelin also inherited his brother’s. Strategy, the pace of the game is fast, obviously the Canadian team likes to slide out some of the lead.
On the 30th lap, the Chinese team made a batting mistake. The athletes slipped more than half a lap before successfully handing over. Fortunately, the Korean team also made a batting mistake on the same lap, so the position between the two teams did not change. It's just that because of the loss of speed, the distance to Canada has increased a lot.
The national team spent seven or eight laps, after several successful handovers, and once again approached the Canadian team, while the South Koreans did the opposite. In the process, they made two handover errors and fell to fourth place. The South Korean team has indeed been greatly affected, and the South Korean team unintentionally fighting also lost the state of the game.
The game has entered the final stage. Judging from the current situation, the South Korean team has fallen behind, and the American team has no chance to surpass the front. The Chinese team, which has always held on to the second place, only followed the Canadian team. If there is no accident, the champion will be born in these two teams.
After 42 laps, the last batting is about to begin. The Canadian team sent Hamelin, while the Chinese team sent Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan and Hamelin ushered in another duel, another one with peak speed! (To be continued.)
