just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 280 Men's 200-meter rematch

Athens Olympic Stadium,
In the attention of all the on-site and off-site audience, the athletes made final preparations at the starting position after the introduction.

Except for the 9 lanes that no one used, Zhu Kun was the most sideline lane in this round. Even through the baffles and guardrails, the distance from the outside of the field is really very close.There were bursts of loud shouts outside the field and the sound of various utensils, as if they were continuously "bombarding" him.

But it is also here that he can always catch the friendly Chinese voices that come out from time to time in these hustle and bustle. Even though he didn't hear his name, it still makes him feel a little at ease.

Exhaling lightly, he looked around and observed the auditorium of the entire arena, which was on the stands not far from the maximum arc of the curve.He found the place where the red flag was flying!
"Compared to the morning, there seem to be more people. They should be mainly here to watch Brother Yang's game, right?! They should also cheer for me now, right?"

He waved his hand vigorously in the direction of the stands, Zhu Kun thought silently in his heart.

Regardless of past results and preliminaries, he knew that he was far behind Brother Yang.Moreover, in the preliminaries, he knew after running that his run was not ideal.

When he started running for the first time, because he was a little distracted by the sound outside the field, his conditioned reflex was too fast.It's like a deliberate rush to escape.When I entered the second start, because I was a little scared, the result was equivalent to using my brain to direct an action.The result can be imagined.

His start fell short of expectations.For sprinters, especially the 200-meter event, the general athletes almost have relatively precise positioning on the footsteps and landing positions on the runway.

And because of his sluggish start, his footsteps at the beginning of the start were affected, and he felt that he had already integrated a very good cornering rhythm, but he did not smoothly enter the rhythm of smooth acceleration.

Fortunately, he had some experience to some extent, and he tried his best to adjust and get back on track.In the end, he ran 20 seconds and only took fifth place in the group.

I finished watching the last few groups of the preliminaries in anxiety and annoyance. I was happy for Brother Yang's easy promotion, and worried for the good results of some players.Fortunately, he was lucky enough to enter the semi-finals, which surprised him especially.

After crying bitterly, he also had enough introspection on his performance in the preliminaries.The World Youth Race has achieved the standard results, and has gone through more than a month of assault and intensive training.The usual tests, including my own feelings, have proved that my strength has improved.

However, it was indeed a failure to run the results of more than half a year when the preliminaries were not easy.

Not long after joining the national team, I heard from Director Lin that every athlete should think about himself, run out of himself in every run, and the next step should be better than the last one.Zhu Kun now has the same awareness.

He withdrew his attention from the sidelines, scanned the opponents on the track, and finally fixed his gaze on the track ahead.

When it comes to the Olympic Games, although the team, Director Lin, and the coach have not set specific goals for him, it is basic for him to enter the semi-finals.Now that he has entered the semi-finals, although his process is not perfect, he has at least achieved the expected goal anyway.

But he didn't feel Director Lin's emotions, which made him a little tangled.He actually cared a lot about Director Lin's thoughts, after all, this is the person who led him to change his career destiny!

Do you think I ran too badly?still think me?
run well!How fast can you run? How fast can you run?Your opponents are not strong!Don't think about preliminaries, semi-finals, finals, you have to show your own state and strength, and you have succeeded...

What Brother Yang said at noon could not help but reverberate in his head.

But running away from yourself is really not that easy!
Try Harder!
No matter whether we win or lose, at least I am not fighting alone, with Brother Yang shielding me from the wind and rain, how can I be trembling!

Standing in front of the starting line, amidst the cheers of countless audiences, Zhu Kun slowly calmed down all his thoughts.

"On your marks!"

When the command to take their positions sounded, Zhu Kun's expression became firm, and he went straight to the starting block.

"Set!"

"boom!"

The game guns rang out.

Without the distraction during the preliminaries, this time Zhu Kun's starting speed was not slow, basically reaching his usual level.

Usually, although his starting reaction is not fast, it is still compared to 60-meter and 200-meter runners.For a 0.15-meter runner, the starting reaction within 0.2 can be called excellent, even close to [-] seconds, which can basically meet the standard.

Regardless of the training direction and talent selection, most of the 200-meter and 400-meter events are dominated by taller and slender players, and the direction of training is also the accumulation and explosion of large strides.Unless you are truly gifted, longer distances are naturally more detrimental to smaller people.

And it is precisely because of this body shape that taller people will definitely take longer to make a single movement than smaller people at the start.

The starting reactions of the 8 players in the same group in this competition are basically within this range.

Of course, the speed of the starting reaction is often not an absolute factor in the 200-meter race.

For example, at this time, the real-time starting reaction speed displayed on the live screen.Zhu Kun's 0.159 seconds, behind the German and Greek players, ranked third, not bad, but excellent in the same group.

The starting reaction time of other players is generally after 0.17-0.2 seconds. On the contrary, the American player who was recognized as the strongest in this group before the game ranked last, and the time was even more than 0.2 seconds.

And judging from his performance after two steps of starting, it is obvious that this is his starting rhythm, and it is not an abnormal performance.Accelerating on the curve after the start is smooth and free, and it naturally enters the rhythm of acceleration.

In fact, because of the long distance, a slight lag in the starting reaction and a lead does not determine anything.After all, sprinting is a sport of technique and rhythm.However, the reaction time at the start is fast, which is always an advantage.

At this time, the runners who started off had basically no time to pay attention to others.

Zhu Kun, who was striding forward to accelerate, had no possibility of observing him.He is the eighth lane, he has the most reach, and the other seven players are behind him.

Usually, in the 200-meter event or the 400-meter event, one and eight passes are the worst passes.One belongs to the innermost side, and generally starts from the start, and is in the state of catching up all the way during the corner.This is a psychological test for most players.

Just like the 400-meter run that Lin Mu ran, it was Lin Mu's violent impact that brought the rhythm of others.This situation is more obvious at longer distances.Although the situation at 200 meters is slightly better, the impact is still there.

As for Ba Dao, not to mention that it is the closest to the outside, it is easily affected by various sounds and movements from the outside world.Just halfway through, you basically don't see people, as if you are running alone, it is also a psychological test.

In the process of running like this, I can't be sure of myself, let alone the position of others.In many cases, athletes will have the illusion of always being ahead.But if you see people, it's even worse, which means you're behind.Even if you maintain a good condition on the way, when you actually enter the straight, the situation is often completely different, and the contrast between the front and rear is undoubtedly a huge shock.

Zhu Kun felt this way at this time, his starting reaction was very good, and his acceleration was smooth, and he felt that this time he ran around the corner with high efficiency.He has height, and now he has strength, even if he is not as good as the top players, it is not too bad.His stride frequency is extremely fast, and with step-by-step reinforcements in coordination and speed resistance, his advantages have been further expanded.

The result of all this is that he seems to be the best in the world in the eighth position with the largest forward reach.Occasionally, he glanced to Zuo Jin from the corner of his eyes, there was no one there, whether the illusion was real or not, he was very uncertain.He could only work hard to adjust himself.

Run, just run as hard as you can!
The voice in his heart was always reminding him to run at his own pace!

50 meters, 80 meters, 100 meters...

Soon, the players have entered the final stage of the curve.

Swing more powerfully, step...bounce...forward...angle...fly!
Zhu Kun gritted his teeth, recited the technical movements silently over and over again, strode desperately, and increased his frequency and speed.Although these meditations are useless at all, when the technical movements under muscle memory are played out, the mind will not keep up at all.

Speed ​​up, speed up...

He is tall and has long legs, and his stride frequency and stride length are now good, and his speed and endurance in the second half of the race are even worse than a year ago.But after all, he is still not a relatively explosive player, and his once shortest speed resistance has not yet reached the level of the real top.

But he also understands that the coaches have emphasized the rhythm for him more than once.No matter how he runs, his speed in the first half of the 200 meters can only be increased faster and higher. He needs to be more efficient than ordinary big 200 meters runners. Even if he knows how to run like this, his speed resistance will be slightly insufficient in the end , but he can only run in this way, and only in this way can he give full play to his advantages in stride frequency.

Every outstanding athlete must have his own real strengths.Only by making full use of one's own strengths, and then using other training and technical means to make up for the influence of the strengths to achieve a comprehensive balance, can one truly reach the top.

When it comes to Zhu Kun, he lacks some absolute speed and some speed resistance. This is his future direction.

"Zhu Kun, come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Gussis!"

"@#￥*&":
Turn into a straight!
The time has come for the 200-meter event to really see its true story, and at this time, the audience at the scene also pushed their enthusiasm higher and higher.Cheers and cheers in various languages ​​came and went.

Amidst the voices of the vast majority of the audience shouting for Guss, Zhu Kun faintly heard someone calling his name to cheer him on.

It turns out there really is!
After a moment of intense feelings in his heart, he no longer cared about him.

After getting on the straight road, he couldn't help but glanced again from the corner of his eyes. He vaguely saw that there were people further ahead. His level was very different, so he couldn't tell exactly how many people there were and how many people were there.But he knows that he needs to stabilize his highest speed, and at this stage, it is time to test his maintenance.

Starting, accelerating, running at high speed on the way, sprinting, sprinting is such a simple exercise.

Whether it is 30-meter acceleration or 50-meter starting speed, the overall athlete speed is inevitable and a very regular curve.The start is the slowest, the speed rises after acceleration, and the high-speed maintenance on the way is the highest end of the entire speed curve.He is at such a stage right now, with the highest speed, what he wants now is to extend this highest speed as much as possible.

If I fall behind, I will catch up, and if I lead, I will continue to lead!
At this time, Zhu Kun only had this thought in his mind.
rush!rush!
The feeling of fatigue is sending information to his brain, but the sight is also sending information to him, the finish line is ahead, and there is a flat river in front of him.

There are still 60 meters to the end, 50 meters... .

On the runway, after occasionally looking left and right, the eight athletes all have almost the same idea at this time.

Including the players in the middle position who can judge themselves more clearly, all the players are still trying their best to charge towards the finish line.

From their judgment, the situation in the field is very unclear.Three, four, five are very close to each other, and the blurred figures on the left and right remind them that everything is possible.This cannot help them relax.

And for those who cannot observe, it can only work harder.

Outside the arena, the cheers and shouts became more and more intense. At this time, the Olympic Stadium in Athens was surrounded by boiling roars.

After the players entered the straight, it only took one or two breaths. After all, they were divided into levels because of the difference in strength, and because of the difference in positions, the enthusiasm of the audience was even greater.

The sound of applause, whistle, shouts, and the impact of various utensils shook the sky.

Because this is Greece, because the ancient Sisi on the third road is in a very favorable position, because the end point is getting closer and closer.

It was too close to the sidelines, even if he had no distractions, Zhu Kun could still feel the deafening noise.This made his heart tumbling and impetuous.

He tried very hard to control himself, and Zhu Kun tried his best to control himself not to care about these things.Body, posture, relying on memory and will, at this time he was running with all his strength.

Finish line, run, run like hell!
And the last ten meters, eight meters, five meters...

Bow your head, lean over, press the line!
Countless excited cheers and screams sounded, and the entire Olympic Stadium was boiling.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

Panting heavily, he buffered and rushed forward for more than ten meters. During the rush, Zhu Kun could not wait to turn his head to the direction of the finish line.

"20 seconds 40"

The timing card clearly showed the first place in the group, and Zhu Kun knew that it was not his own.During the final sprint, out of the corner of his eyes, there were people further ahead.

Maybe three ways, maybe four ways, this is his approximate judgment.

His eyes moved a little farther, until he reached the big screen at the scene, and his eyes were fixed here.

He didn't make him wait long, just a moment to stabilize his body and turn around. As the sound of the live broadcast sounded, the data on the big screen jumped for a while.

"...Ah! Ha... Ha...~"

When he saw the information on the big screen, he lost his mind for a moment, and then he roared.

Heavy breathing, chest and abdomen are still rising and falling, but excited, excited, laughing and crying, all kinds of emotions gushed out instantly, and I couldn't stop it.

The results of the same group of contestants will be displayed in order of ranking on the big screen at the scene.

1. The fourth track, Bernard Williams, the United States, with a score of 20 seconds;

2. The third track, Anastasios Guccis, Greece, with a score of 20 seconds;

3. The eighth track, Zhu Kun, Huaxia, with a score of 20 seconds;

4. The fifth track, Jerusinski, Poland, with a score of 20 seconds;

……

He advanced to the semi-finals, he ran into 20 seconds, and he created his personal best in the official competition!
"Director Lin, coach, I have advanced! Brother Yang, I have advanced. I will participate in the Olympics with you, and I will enter the semi-finals with you..."

Zhu Kun clenched his fists tightly, and countless thoughts were rolling in his heart.

……

"Hey~ It's the semi-finals! Really good, really good!"

Sitting at home in Luzhou, Huizhou, China, Zhou Zhen kept rubbing his hands back and forth on the outside of his thighs.

Hearing the introduction voice of the narrator on the TV, and seeing the clear display on the score list box on the screen, he was extremely excited!
The Olympic Games has begun. As the deputy director of the Huizhou Athletics Center and the head coach of the track and field team, he will naturally pay attention.

What's more, these days, the Sports Bureau has held more than one meeting about the Olympics.Few of the athletes who went out from Huizhou really achieved results, and only won a bronze medal in weightlifting and judo.

At that time, he was already looking forward to the start of track and field, but Huizhou has two sprinters who will be on the Olympic track.Not to mention the results, it already has a great symbolic meaning in itself.

In fact, the bureau and the team have no hope for the final results, and even the old thing in the competition management center is still eccentric.Zhou Zhen didn't refute, but he actually held his breath in his heart.

This morning, the Sports Bureau held an emergency meeting,
Lin Mu won the championship, and it was China's first Olympic sprint gold medal.This is a huge shock in the entire Chinese sports world, let alone Huizhou.

Yes, after retiring and coming back, he has never represented Huizhou in competitions, but he is a native of Huizhou, and his current registration status is the Huizhou track and field team.No one can deny it!
This time, it is no longer just an honor as a coach.

The leaders were happy and praised, how to arrange after returning to China, how to implement incentive measures, how to get closer to each other in the next step, and so on.Everything should be put on the agenda as a matter of course.

Their track and field team is really proud!

After spending the day with joy and satisfaction, he was even more excited after watching the 200-meter race at night.Athletes from Huizhou have created a little history.

"It seems that some activities are necessary, and the close relationship sometimes needs to be more refined..."

After the excitement cooled down, the thoughts in Zhou Zhen's mind kept beating, and a series of thoughts also emerged.

"After watching this game, we should contact and arrange it first!"

Zhou Zhen did as soon as he thought of it, and took out his mobile phone to dial out, but after a little movement, his hand stopped temporarily.

At this time, in the screen, the athletes of the third group of the men's 200m rematch have already appeared, and the Chinese player Yang Zuyao is on the list!
