The men’s 100m event has ended in the morning and the men’s 100m semifinals will be held later in the afternoon. Only two groups will be played in the semifinals, and then ranked according to the total score, the top eight will enter the finals the next morning.
At this point in the game, there are no weaker players. Those who can get to this step are strong players. If it is a dark horse, there is only Zhang Guan.
If the other fifteen athletes are calculated in terms of strength, only Chen Jian and Shen Bao can guarantee to reach the final. Both of them have the strength to run within 10.3 seconds. The other players will depend on their respective performance and performance. Too.
The event organizer divided the two strongest athletes, Chen Jian and Shen Bao, into different groups. Zhang Guan happened to be a group with Shen Lu. In the same group were Yin Hanzhao, the men’s 100m champion in the 9th National Games, and 100m in Guizhou. The record holds Gong Wei, Liu Dapeng, the first person of 100 meters in the northeast, Peking University special enrollment Jin Ke, and Hu Kai, the eyeglasses contestant in the rematch.
In terms of strength, Shen Lu is undoubtedly the strongest. The other three Yin Hanzhao, Gong Wei and Liu Dapeng are experienced veterans and have the opportunity to reach the final. As for the young Jin Ke and Hu Kai, it is possible to reach the final Sex is relatively slim.
Since the top eight of the semi-finals were selected for the competition, the eight athletes on the starting line did not show much gunpowder smell, but were very harmonious.
When the athletes all stood on the starting blocks, the referee raised the starting gun.
The gunshots sounded, and everyone rushed out immediately, but Zhang Guan's start was half a beat slower, and he fell behind to the last place in an instant.
"The starting is still as bad as ever. This is about 0.4 seconds of starting reaction time! It seems that this kid's starting is really bad, not pretending!" Yu Guiding in the stands thought quietly.
On the track, Zhang Guan also felt very helpless. His condition in the afternoon was still more general. Although it was slightly better than the second game in the morning, it was still worse than the start reaction time within 0.3 seconds of the first game in the morning.
But then, he entered Zhang Guan's regular sprint rhythm, his sprint skills were effective, and his super explosive power quickly increased his speed to the extreme. Then he began to surpass other players.
Eyeglasses Hu Kai was running side by side with Jin Ke at the start. The two were one of Tsinghua’s special enrollment and one was Peking University’s special enrollment. As two students from the two highest institutions in China, they were born with Tsinghua University’s This kind of competition consciousness is now even more inconsistent with each other on the field, trying their best to compete with each other. Hu Kai's condition is obviously better. After a brief stalemate, Hu Kai has led Jin Ke by half.
At this moment again, a figure kicking a person passed by Hu Kai, he was Zhang Guan.
"It's overwhelming, so familiar, this scene seems to have been experienced in the morning, why is it Zhang Guan again!"
The same scene happened in the rematch in the morning. At that time, Hu Kai had just led Pang Guibin by half a position and was surpassed by Zhang Guan. However, Hu Kai never expected the afternoon semi-finals, and this scene was repeated again. Hu Kai was overtaken twice in the same way on the same day by the same person. Hu Kai suddenly felt very depressed, but there was no way, Hu Kai's own speed could not catch up with the crown.
Next, Zhang Guan caught up with the Northeast flying man Liu Dapeng. He didn't even give Liu Dapeng a chance to slay him. He surpassed the past, and then caught up with the provincial record and held Gong Wei.
"It's Zhang Guan, he's really fast!" Gong Wei pondered in his heart. He had heard about his teammate Pang Guibin at noon. At that time, he was surpassed by Zhang Guan only for an instant. Pang Guibin simply gave up on catching up, and now Gong Wei is also deeply aware of this.
Yin Hanzhao, who is in second place, found that there was a distance gap between the indulgence of the leading position, but Yin Hanzhao always thought that he had a chance to catch up, because he knew that in the second half of the schedule, the indignity would slow down.
The strongest part of the indignity is the indoor 60m. He won the third place in the indoor 60m indoor championships in Vienna in March, so the indulgent indoor 60m is the world's top level. The characteristic of indignity is that the starting reaction is quick, the explosive power is strong, and the outbreak point is early. Therefore, it can achieve excellent results in the indoor 60-meter event. However, in the 100-meter competition, it is impossible for the indulgence to always compete with an explosive level of 60 meters. It is exactly this way that he has always surpassed Chen Jian in the 100-meter project.
The fact is that as expected by Yin Hanzhao, after 50 meters, this was the time when many athletes increased their speed to the extreme, but the indifference was not as rapid as before.
"Opportunity is coming! Maybe I can catch up with the indignity before the finish line! Wait, someone behind is catching up!" Yin Hanzhao has noticed the approaching Zhang Guan at this time.
After 70 meters, the leading sinker also found that two people were approaching behind.
After 80 meters, Zhang Guan completed the transcendence of Yin Hanzhao.
Shen Bao turned his head slightly and saw the scene where Zhang Guan surpassed Yin Hanzhao.
"Here is the newcomer Zhang Guan! He should have started a lot slower, how could this catch up!" In the rematch that flashed through the morning in his mind, Zhang Guan went from the last to the first. A scene. Then he looked forward and saw the end point in front of him.
"It's coming to an end soon, hold on! How can I lose to a newcomer!" Shen Fang slammed his teeth and tried his best.
After 90 meters, Zhang Guan and Shen Bao have gone hand in hand. At this time, no matter whether it is Zhang Guan or Shen Lu, there is no reason to give up. This is not a fight for promotion, but a battle of honor as an athlete.
At the moment of the indignity, every meter forward, he is trying his best. He does not want to lose, but he desperately finds that he has to fall behind every meter forward. He watched as he walked past him and crossed the finish line, but he struggled to fight back, but he seemed so helpless.
He rushed across the finish line, slowed down until he stopped, then looked at the scoreboard and found his own score. The final result of 10.31 seconds is a very satisfactory result for anyone. This result could be ranked second in the year last year.
Then he looked at the first place, which was Zhang Guan's achievement.
"Twenty-eight seconds!" Shen sighed and took a breath. He could not imagine that the young man who had appeared suddenly ran into the 10.3 second mark. This result is enough for Zhang Guan to advance to the ranks of the top domestic players.
...
10.28 seconds is already the best result of this year's domestic 100m project.
On the rostrum, Director Yu suddenly realized what was happening, and then threw his fist in excitement.
"This ticket can be considered a hands-down. After waiting for a year, some athletes can finally reach this score..."
Then Yu Guiyu glanced in the direction of Chen Jian, the first person in the domestic long-distance race, and muttered to himself: "You should also work hard, otherwise it will be surpassed by this younger generation, and the Olympics next year might not be possible. !"
At the same time, Chen Lao and other teammates who watched the game all ran up, and even the coaches of other teams came to express their congratulations, a look of joy.
"What's the matter? Come here? How big battle?" Zhang Guan was shocked by the momentum.
Chen Lao took the lead in grabbing Zhang Guan and said, "Zhang Guan, good job! But it was the ticket for our country."
"Admission ticket? What admission ticket?" Zhang Guan asked strangely.
"Of course the tickets for the Olympics!" Chen Lao continued: "You ran for 10 seconds 28 and reached the Olympic b standard!"
Zhang Guan understood immediately.
The Olympic Games is the highest level of sports competition in the world. In order to prevent lower-level athletes from participating in the competition and influencing the entire competition level, the Olympic Games Organizing Committee has set up the Olympic standards. The track and field project's compliance line is based on the official competition results of the National Olympic Committee and above for the past two years. It has the Olympic a standard and the Olympic b standard.
According to the regulations of the Olympic Organizing Committee, in the single event of track and field, each Olympic Committee can send up to three athletes who meet the Olympic a standard in each event; if there are less than three athletes who meet the Olympic a standard, the athletes who meet the actual standard Sign up for the competition; if no one reaches the Olympic a standard but someone reaches the Olympic b standard, then only one b player can be sent to participate; if even the Olympic b standard is not reached, it will not be allowed to participate in the Olympic competition of this project.
Under this rule, if only one player in a country reaches the A goal, it is obviously the most disadvantageous situation, because the quota for entry is the same as the country that only meets the b goal, and only one person participates. It can also be said that if only one a is marked in the entry quota, it is equivalent to the b mark.
In addition, under-achieving athletes who want to sign up for a field event will be determined by the IAAF based on the athlete's performance level and the number of related events. Registered athletes must reach a certain international level and prove their strength by participating in international events recognized by the IAAF. To put it bluntly is to "go backdoor" to participate.
In the 2004 Athens Olympics, in the Olympic 100-meter men’s track and field event, the Olympic a standard was 10.21 seconds, and the Olympic b standard was 10.28 seconds. 10.28 seconds is also the minimum standard for athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. Until the 2008 Olympics in the capital, this standard was still referenced. In the 2012 London Olympics, this standard was raised to a standard 10.18 seconds and a standard 10.24 seconds.
Track and field men’s short track events have always been the weakness of the national team. The athletes participating in the Olympics basically competed on the standard line of the Olympic b standard. The recognition time for individual track and field events in the Athens Olympic Games next year is from July 1, 2002 to the deadline for registration in July 2004 (except for marathon, race walking, and all-around events), as long as the national level or above is within this period The results obtained in the Olympic Committee level competition are all counted, and the best result of domestic athletes running after July 1, 2002 is 10.32 seconds, which means that no one in China has reached the Olympic b standard of 10.28 seconds.
The national team of course disdain to "take the back door" to participate, but no player has reached the Olympic b standard for more than a year. This is also a faceless thing. Of course, the level of domestic players will certainly not be satisfied with the b standard. However, Zhang Guan's 10.28 second score today is a guaranteed ticket for the national team.
From this moment, Zhang Guan's name really entered the domestic track and field circle.
