[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

Cheng Sen refused to tell, and Gu Ran couldn't find out, so he could only give up and go back with doubts.

Sitting next to Gao Ziyi, Gu Ran mentioned to Gao Ziyi what happened to Cheng Sen just now: "Oh, I just feel that it hurts too much when I loosen my muscles, so I just find a topic to divert my attention. Who knows Director Cheng heard it, and he asked me to promise him a condition, otherwise I will tell Director Xu. Brother, do you know what it is?"

Gao Ziyi thought for a moment: "I don't know what's going on, but you can rest assured that Guidance Cheng is a good person. He probably wants to ask you for help with something."

"Huh?" Gu Ran was even more confused, "Can he ask me for help?"

Gao Ziyi shrugged: "I don't know about that."

At this time, the team doctor called Gao Ziyi to relax his muscles.Gao Ziyi waved his hand: "No, I'm not very tired."

He said he wasn't tired, and the team doctor didn't say anything else. The two exchanged a few words, and the team doctor called Liang Kexin away.

Gu Ran looked at him with a very surprised expression.Gao Ziyi misunderstood, thinking that the younger brother was caring about him.So, he bumped Gu Ran's shoulder with his shoulder: "I'm really not tired."

Gu Ran looked at him with her mouth half open: "Why don't I know, can I still refuse to relax my muscles?"

Gao Ziyi smiled and said, "I can, but you can't."

Gu Ran was even more surprised: "Why?"

"Because I have better muscle tolerance and don't get tired easily, so I am more suitable for long-distance competitions."

Gu Ran suddenly realized: "It turns out that senior brother is also very talented."

Gao Ziyi smiled: "No, you are the most talented short track speed skater I have ever seen."

Gu Ran fumbled in the bag for a while, and took out two energy bars, handed one to Gao Ziyi, and took the other apart to eat.

After eating, you have to go down for inspection, and the next thing to do is the men's super 3000m race.A total of eight players participated, that is, the top eight players who added up the three individual points.

Gu Ran, Gao Ziyi, Liu Fei, Chi Lang, Ren Yongjie, Meng Yuqiao, and two other players from the adult group.

The super 3000m is an individual individual event established to determine the all-around ranking in the championship. There are only points and no individual medals.

There are two points in total, one at 1000 meters and one at the final finish.The two points will reward athletes with corresponding points according to their rankings. Finally, all the points of the 500m, 1000m, 1500m and 3000m will be added together to determine the final all-around champion.

Gu Ran has already won two gold medals in the 500m and 1000m, and her points are far higher than others.

3000 meters is really a bit difficult for Gu Ran, his current physical fitness is not enough to support him to complete the distance at a faster speed.

Therefore, this requires a tactical trade-off.

Xu Qing discussed this with him last night: "You just need to make sure you get the 1000-meter points, and the all-around championship is yours. As for the points at the finish line, you can give up."

Gu Ran thought she heard it wrong: "Give up?"

"It's not to make you give up the game, it's not to exhaust yourself for the points race."

Gu Ran nodded: "I understand."

So, for the first time, Gu Ran squeezed eight people together to participate in this super 3000-meter points race.

In the first 1000 meters, he maintained a fast skating speed, almost on par with his 1000-meter final.

Therefore, when the starting gun was fired and he rushed out quickly, Ren Yongjie who was on the side was startled.

Then Gu Ran led the lead skate passionately far in front by himself, and seven people strung together behind him, following him at a distance of half a circle.

In this way, Gu Ran skated nine laps in one go, and successfully won the first 1 points of No.34.

Then, like an electric toy that has run out of batteries, he slows down instantly.When the game was halfway through, people overtook him one after another.Gu Ran was not in a hurry, and just followed behind in a leisurely manner.

The more you get to the back, the more frequently the positions of the front are exchanged. There are only the last two of them, just like the old man walking a bend, with their hands behind their backs, lap after lap.

Gu Ran was at the end, and the person in front of him was Meng Yuqiao.This big brother is not humble, he just has bad endurance, not to mention 3000 meters, he only took fourth place in the 1000 meters just now.

In the last point, Gao Ziyi took the first place and Jiang Hongyi took the second place. Gu Ran was not surprised, but he was a little surprised that No.3 was Chi Lang! ! !

Chi Dali, an animal, obviously skis a short distance, but he is so fierce at 3000 meters.

After skating, Chi Lang adjusted several laps on the ice rink before stopping.

There are so many people that the exit will inevitably be a bit crowded, and everyone is queuing up to go out one by one.

Gu Ran turned to look at Chi Lang, who was standing by himself with his hands on his hips, his cheeks were flushed, and he adjusted his breathing with long inhales and exhales.

It is not difficult to see that Chi Lang is exhausted.He is not a robot either, he has endless strength all over his body.This is how people are. Endurance and explosive power ebb and flow. To increase endurance is bound to sacrifice explosive power, and to increase strength requires giving up a certain amount of endurance.

Like Gu Ran and Meng Yuqiao, they are typical explosive players.The mutual coordination ability between different muscles, the combination of strength quality and speed quality are very good.

And Gao Ziyi is a typical endurance player. The human body's ability to perform continuous muscle work for a long time is particularly outstanding, which is a kind of muscle resistance to fatigue.

You cannot have both, but you can find a balance between the two.

Especially for sports like short track speed skating, because the speed is very fast, even a 1500-meter race takes less than 3 minutes. Compared with swimming and running for the same distance, it can be said to be faster and less labor-intensive.

Speed ​​skating is originally the fastest speed that the human body can achieve on a flat surface without the help of external forces.

Therefore, some short track speed skaters can practice all three events together, and they are truly all-around players. This is what Gu Ran is currently working on.

He walked over and patted Chi Lang on the shoulder: "Why are you working so hard?"

Chi Lang was still panting, and smiled nonchalantly: "Which sportsman doesn't work hard, if he doesn't work hard enough, he might not have a chance to stand here next time."

He made a lot of sense, Gu Ran was crazier than him when he tried his best, so they were brothers who cherished each other.

At the end there was a men's 5000-meter relay race. Gu Ran patted Chi Lang's chest with the back of his hand: "Are you okay? You won't be replaced by Director Liu in a while."

Chi Lang sneered: "You remove the word "?", I will do as you please."

Gu Ran turned her head, just in time to see someone in front of her, who is the team doctor of Province H. After so many games, he is already familiar.

Thinking of the pain I suffered when I loosened my muscles, I patted Chi Lang on the shoulder gloatingly: "I wish you good luck."

Chi Lang is indeed a muscular man. In just 10 minutes, he was revived with full blood and stood in the inspection area alive and well.

Gu Ran smiled when she saw him: "As expected of you."

Chi Lang patted himself on the chest, acting like Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", but it made Gu Ran very happy.

In the last event of this short track speed skating relay, Gu Ran really wanted to win the gold medal.

Before, Xu Qing originally thought of replacing Wu Kaize and Zheng Wenkang with two other older players.But in fact, the strength of these people is about the same.

The four of them live in the same dormitory, and they have formed a certain tacit understanding through several relay races before, so it is more stable for the four of them to continue to form a team.

Usually, you need to train and learn, to improve your personal skills, and to take into account the relay race.His time really does not allow him to take care of all the games.

The strength of Liang Kexin and Zhao Ting in the women's event is obviously better than that of Zheng Wenkang and Wu Kaize in the men's event.

The tactics of the mixed relay are relatively fixed. As long as you practice the handover baton with all your strength, you can have a qualitative leap in overall strength.

However, there are too many tactics involved in the men's 5000-meter relay. It takes a lot of time to study and then rehearse in training. Everyone has to keep in mind their own division of labor. Put yourself in it.

This is a typical high investment, high risk, low return.

After weighing it over and over again, Gu Ran decided to dedicate the little time he had spared to the mixed-gender relay.Men's 5000-meter relay is normal training.

Even so, Gu Ran will definitely do his best no matter what the opponent is when forming a relay with his seniors.

Zheng Wenkang, on the other hand, was a little listless.Gu Ran leaned over and asked him, "Brother, do you need a Snickers bar?"

Zheng Wenkang shook his head: "I can't eat it."

Gu Ran said: "If there's anything you're unhappy about, tell us to make us happy."

Zheng Wenkang shrugged helplessly: "I'm afraid I'll hold you back."

The two of them sat side by side, and Gu Ran simply raised her leg and put it on his lap: "What are you afraid of, hold on tightly, I will drag you."

Looking at his smile, Zheng Wenkang felt indescribable emotions welling up in his heart. He slapped his calf, which just happened to hit the shin guard, and shook his hand in pain: "Little brat!"

At this time, the women's team's game ended, and Liang Kexin led Province J to second place, but lost to Province H again.

Gu Ran stood up, squeezed Zheng Wenkang's shoulders, and pulled him up again: "Let's go, let's 'revenge' the senior sister and the others."

The junior brother had competed four times by himself, and was so tired that he ate several energy bars. In the end, he came to encourage them as if he had been beaten.

Zheng Wenkang felt a little embarrassed, and immediately cheered up, ready to play.

He was first, Gu Ran was second, Gao Ziyi was third, and Wu Kaize was fourth.

The first bat in Province H was Yang Chenyu, whose strength was comparable to that of Zheng Wenkang. After the first lap, Zheng Wenkang was actually faster.

The second best in province J is Gu Ran, and in province H is Chi Lang.As soon as Chi Lang came up, he pedaled vigorously on the ice, trying to overtake Gu Ran before the curve.

The two of them refused to give way to each other, and the more fierce the fight, the slower the speed, which gave R and L provinces a chance to catch up.

In the first ten or so laps, everyone was in chaos, relying on the handover baton to overtake and reverse overtake.No one can stay ahead, and no one is always behind. Everyone still has a chance.

After twenty laps, things changed.The first was Province H, and Jiang Hongyi, who was in third place, suddenly skated half an extra lap before starting to hand over the baton.

They were already ranked first, but this directly disrupted the rhythm of the next few teams.So, everyone followed suit.

Province R spent more samples in the relay race. After a while, they also started to work. Some skated two laps, some skated one lap, and some skated one and a half laps.

It was a chaos on the field, with markers flying all over the place, because the timing of the handover was different, and the corner administrators couldn't deal with it immediately.

Province L was the first to have a problem, and a small team member of them was taken into the ditch by Province R. It was not the time for them to hand over the baton, but he went on the track, which affected Wu Kaize's skating behind.

Gu Ran had already expected such a scene before the race, because it was like this in every relay race. The more laps there were, the more accidents there would be. Almost none of them could slide down smoothly.

Therefore, Gu Ran also mentioned to Xu Qing before whether they should also add some differentiated handover tactics and interfere with the opponent's rhythm.

Xu Qing just snorted softly: "I'm afraid it's our own rhythm that interferes in the end."

Indeed, after skating to [-] laps, the athletes were in chaos as soon as the scene was chaotic.There are only a few who can keep their heads clear, and others are letting themselves go by feeling.

What Xu Qing said was right, in order to win through complex tactics in the relay race, first of all, all four of them must have a clear head, and before the race starts, they must clearly go through the whole process in their minds.

For a full 45 laps, for most people, it is not bad to not count the wrong laps. They want to remember every handover and every tactical change in a complicated game.A clear mind, a calm mind, a strong memory, and even excellent spatial imagination are indispensable.

Judging from the current few athletes in Province J, only Gu Ran and Gao Ziyi can do this.

The former has a very smart brain and a good memory.The latter has no distracting thoughts and is not easily influenced by others.

Therefore, for their current state, it is most realistic to respond to all changes with the same.

Although the field was chaotic, Gu Ran could still understand the current situation in his heart, and he even subconsciously figured out the rules of handing over batons in Province R.

However, this is not important, what is important is that he must stand up in the chaos and bring the brothers out of this predicament.

The best, fastest, most effective, and most simple and rude method is to skate to the first place, and when they reach the leading position, it has nothing to do with them how to hand over the baton and how to make a mess. They just need to follow their own pre-race Arrangements to complete the game on the line.

So, after Gu Ran and Zheng Wenkang handed over the baton, he rushed forward immediately.Chi Lang in front was affected by the opponent's handover again, and his reaction was a little slower.

At this time, Gu Ran swept past him and came to the bend first.

Holding the ice surface with his hand, the person and the ice blade tilted to the maximum, reducing the friction between the blade and the ice surface, starting to speed up, and then continuously clamping the blade out of the curve and then into the straight... A series of movements flowed smoothly, and he had already distanced himself from Chi Lang behind him .

Gu Ran's idea is good, and it is indeed very effective.But he overlooked one point - others are not fools, what he can think of, Liu Fei, Ren Yongjie, and even the team members of R province can think of.

Besides, Zheng Wenkang and Wu Kaize didn't have an advantage in speed. Gao Ziyi had already assumed the task of helping him skate one more time. He was the hardest one in the entire relay race. It was impossible for him to have higher requirements on speed.

So, after a few handovers, everything went back to the beginning, and they were entangled with Province H and Province R.

This chaotic and anxious scene on the field made the audience extremely eager. Ordinary spectators couldn't figure out how many laps the race had gone on, so they could only follow along to watch the excitement. It's wonderful.

The teammates of the four teams are so anxious that they can't wait to go up and skate by themselves.

Finally, the race came to the last two laps.Zheng Wenkang successfully handed over the last stick to Gu Ran.

The moment he pushed the person out, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, and the final result would depend on the younger brother's performance.
