On the afternoon of 11 th of Moscow time 6 : 15 pm, 400 meters semifinal started.
In the semi-final, Zhang Guan has not run into the fierce match, 46.05 seconds of can be the reference merely. But in the semifinal, he was with two players of US team in the same group, separately is US star of Sean Merritt and winning call extremely high Milton Campbell future.
Opens the crown to remember indistinctly that at the future capital Olympic Games, the US team has swept the money bronze medal of men's 400 meters dash project, at that time 400 meters King Jeremy Varina only won the silver medal, but defeats is Sean Merritt who Varina wins gold. However now 20-year-old Merritt is also only a young fellow of US team, this time goes to battle in the athlete of track and field indoor match, a US team 400 meters section runs up to the Boss is Milton Campbell.
Campbell is also an experienced player, although has not obtained any award in the career, but the condition has been good, was that type to run into the skilled person unable to win to run into the athlete who the weak one cannot lose.
But regarding audience, men's 400 meters probably was not paid attention, because before 15 minutes, the competition of female pole vault started, Russian pole vault empress Isinbayeva will soon be taken to the threshing ground, the Russian pay attention to Isinbayeva, some where also people look at 400 meters dash the semifinal.
The scene has the applause of rhythm to make Zhang Guan feel somewhat depressed, he remembers, when intermediary heat of Athens Olympic games, the competition had been interrupted by Isinbayeva, but today, the similar situation appears again.
Therefore, the semifinal competition of men's 400 meters dash has to postpone for several minutes, when Isinbayeva jumped over the cross rod successfully, the starter hinted the athlete to stand the block.
Merritt and Campbell as if by prior agreement toward opening the direction of crown looks, 46.05 seconds of actually any too tremendous the pressure to them, the key Zhang Guan running law really has not been too unusual, why they cannot think through a crown to be able in the final sprint to erupt that quick speed.
However, sound of gunfire quick resounding of starter. Merritt and Campbell can experience Zhang Guan that special running law in the racecourse personally.
The first 100 meters competitions were still calm, everybody normal ran, does not have what fault, Zhang Guan the rhythm looked like very good. By speed that he displays, absolutely is the world top player level.
Then, the athlete entered the second 100 meters, Zhang Guan has not changed own rhythm, but Campbell looked like the slight promotion a speed. But Merritt's step scope start slowly increases.
Merritt the unique skill that is truant from Jeremy Varina there, after entering straight, as far as possible maintains the step frequency is invariable, then expands takes the step the scope, although this technology he has not grasped is good, compared with Varina comes also the difference is very far, but at least displayed his good talent.
Varina's technology is not everybody can learn.
Our normal people walk can feel, if increase step desirably, then the posture of body will change, the physical exertion will also increase. But regarding 400 meters sprinter, desirably increases the step in some racecourse, similarly means the consumption of change and physical strength of rhythm, thus this turned into one type the technology that is difficult to master.
Eight steps change the trainings of seven steps on first fences on for example Liu Feiren, was actually equal to front every step wants the multispan to leave one-seventh distances, but this change, Liu Feiren spends person several years completely grasps. Liu Feiren changes is only the first column that 13.72 meters distance before, but Varina needs to change in entire straight line runway region, the difficulty can be imagined.
This time Merritt felt that very good, he also just started to study this type of straight line runway to step the stride the technology. But in today's competition, he thought that has displayed usually to practice the best level.
However, such after running more than dozens meters, Merritt's step adjustment had the problem. His rhythm appears somewhat flurried, he has to slightly was slower, adjusts own rhythm, this suppressed adjustment affects the speed actually very much, his beforehand effort is not all in vain in this moment, instead falls behind Cherbel and Zhang Guan slightly.
The third 100 meters competition schedule. Campbell slightly small the scope of step, simultaneously has promoted the rhythm slightly, he must start to sprint!
Campbell uses was still Michael Johnson's that running law, in probably started to accelerate in 250 meters position, then made the slight adjustment, immediately entered the final sprint.
Campbell surfaces in this moment, he after all is a very competent player, even if everybody simultaneous acceleration, Campbell can still obtain the superiority.
But Merritt's acceleration wanted Campbell late, appeared very hurried.
As for Zhang Guan, the rhythm was still invariable.
„I was in the lead! Good, fires into the end point.” Campbell has measured with the eye Merritt's situation, felt that follows this appearance to continue to run, Merritt should not have the opportunity to win itself!
But Merritt went to Zhang Guan the attention.
„I have gotten the pretensioning crown. Can the group second advancement? Waits, Zhang Guan is with same running law that the semi-final that uses uses!”
The next quarter, leading Campbell entered the final 100 meters, this time his physical strength has consumed much, but is increasing speed once more forcefully, carries on the final sprint.
Merritt followed, Merritt demonstrates the potential of future dash star at this moment, his physical strength reserve wanted Campbell to be better, the sprint speed was also quick, he started approaching Campbell slowly.
„Come on, immediately can surpass Campbell!” In Merritt heart secret passage. But also in this time, a red form suddenly appears from his side, then extremely quick plundering in the past, directly soared front Campbell!
„Is Zhang Guan!” Merritt stared in a big way the eye, opened crown another performance not to be the speed of 400 meters dash, moreover this time, his sprint was quicker than the semi-final!
Yesterday's time, Merritt once on the spot observed Zhang Guan 400 meters dash to compete, but observed with the feeling that the actual competition disputed is completely different, observed Merritt to think that Zhang Guan the sprint was very inconceivable, but in actual contest, when Zhang Guan surpassed past tense with that quick speed from own side, in Merritt heart raised suddenly a desperate feeling.
„Zhang Guanpao is so quick, how do I pursue?”
The final sprint, regarding opening crown became has surmounted the performance of match, he has exceeded Merritt. Has exceeded Campbell, has exceeded in front of him all people, then crossed the finish line, 45.63 seconds of groups first enter the finals.
......
Behind the hotel that the athletes check into is a school. There has an open-air track and field area.
A Campbell of gym suit runs entered the school, runs toward the track and field area, but the security of school stared his one eyes, has not stopped.
„How Zhang Guan achieves, the front 300 meters rhythms are completely invariable can retain more physical strengths. But is impossible to have such quick sprint! Always thought where some are not right, I must try to be good personally.” Campbell ran up to the track and field area runway, actually saw that a familiar form is speeding along the runway. Sean Merritt.
Merritt ran in the middle of the second curve at this time, his rhythm is very steady, but looks like somewhat is strange, Campbell can the obvious feeling leave, Merritt's speed be usually slower.
Then, Merritt has not accelerated at original acceleration, or he has not accelerated in the curve from the start, sees only him to run into the final straight say/way. Afterward the fierce start increases speed, flushes away toward the end point.
The speed that Merritt sprints is quick, wants quick many compared with usually the final sprint, but is getting more and more near along with the distance end point, Merritt's speed actually slow, Campbell can see struggling that very Merritt runs, or can say that in final time, Merritt has consumed up the physical strength.
Merritt crossed the finish line, afterward looked at the stopwatch in hand, shaking the head of loses.
„It is not good. I according to opening running law of crown, quickly to 50 seconds! Moreover the words that such runs, the final sprint cannot be Zhang Guan that speed, the physical strength do not support the end point! How Zhang does Guan achieve?”
„Sean!” Campbell's voice never the distant place resounds: „Are you are testing Zhang Guan that running law?”
„Right.” Merritt nodded. Then said: „But I cannot achieve. I have tested two, my specially slowed down some speeds in front, stockpiles some physical strengths, but cannot compare the speed that Zhang Guan sprints finally by far . Moreover the physical strength assignment is very major problem, I am unable to maintain with that speed sprint the end point.”
„You time to me. I try.” Campbell was saying stood in beginning online.
After one minute, Campbell also arrived in the end point, he has not gone to ask his result from the start, because he knows that his result almost arrived for about 50 seconds.
„How in the world to have such strange running law!” Complaint that Campbell does not live in: „Front ran 300 meters, even if running slow of , the remaining physical strengths are impossible to make the sprint of that speed! Opens crown that fellow is an alien!”
Merritt then said: „I thought that if my physical strength if can be more than one time the present, should be have that sprint in the final stage.”
„Many one time? Sean, you were speaking any joke! In the world some people will have how possibly that abnormal physical strength......” Campbell words to stop suddenly, as an experienced professional athlete, he knows what Merritt said is right, if has are really usually more than a time of physical strength, can indeed achieve Zhang Guan such.
„Zhang will Guan have that abnormal physical strength?” Campbell has held breath a cold air/Qi, he realized suddenly that opens the crown world first flier, the strongest place perhaps is not above the explosive force of average man, but surmounts the normal human category physical ability.( To be continued.)
