Chapter 60 National Games to win the championship
Next to the track, Cheng Jinguan opened his mouth slightly, obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although Cheng Jinguan knew that Chen Qiang was very fast, he did not expect that Chen Qiang could be so fast that he could go alongside Liu Changchun.
"When Chen Qiang was not so fast in the Shanghai selection competition before! I understand, he was hiding his strength at that time."
When this idea came out of Cheng Jinguan's mind, he was shocked.
"I remember Chen Qiang is two years younger than me, right? Running 11.6 seconds is already a very amazing result. I didn't expect that it was just the result of his hidden strength. Is this guy a monster?"
"Fortunately, Li Yongping was eliminated when he was in Shanghai and did not come to participate in the National Games. If he knew that Chen Qiang was deliberately hiding his strength at that time, his self-esteem would definitely be greatly hit!"
The other four contestants have long been left behind by Liu Changchun and Chen Qiang.
The gap is too obvious. Compared with Chen Qiang and Liu Changchun, the other four players are simply two-level athletes. Although the schedule is only halfway through, they are destined to compete for the third place.
These four are also the best among domestic sprinters. They are the fastest players in their hometowns on weekdays. As long as there are competitions, all kinds of champions will definitely be able to win. Now they can only grab a third place. This psychological gap makes them very frustrated, and even the audience can see that some of them don’t want to run away.
Running the last place in the racing sport and being so big apart by the leader will indeed hurt the confidence of athletes and make people feel unwilling to fight again. For example, in the Olympic 10,000-meter long-distance running, some athletes are too far behind and will really give up the competition directly.
At this time, few people paid attention to the backward four-person group. At this time, everyone's eyes should of course be on the leader.
Chen Qiang and Liu Changchun are still running side by side, difficult to solve and difficult to distinguish. In such a stalemate, of course we have to pay attention to and see who is the final winner.
...
The competition progressed to seventy meters.
Liu Changchun's speed was slower again. This also completely confirmed Chen Qiang's judgment.
Liu Changchun's second half was his biggest weakness!
Chen Qiang's opportunity came. The two people who were originally running side by side gradually moved their positions and Chen Qiang gained some leading advantages.
Liu Changchun’s strength is that his physical fitness is good enough and he is born with the body of an athlete.
Chen Qiang’s strength is that his sprinting skills are good enough, and he has the technology that transcends this era.
Therefore, the contest between the two can be seen as a competition between body and technology.
In the first fifty meters, the two of them ran side by side, with their body vs. skills and a draw.
But after the second half of the journey and after seventy meters, Liu Changchun's body could not continue to maintain.
But Chen Qiang's skills are still there!
During the exercise, the body feels tired, but the technical movements that have been formed cannot be erased in my mind. Even if Chen Qiang becomes a dead dog, he still has the sprinting technique that transcends this era.
...
Endurance quality is one of the basic qualities of the human body, and speed and endurance are an indicator of endurance quality.
Speed endurance refers to the ability to maintain a faster speed for a longer period of time. Simply put, if an athlete runs on a track, the longer he can maintain a high speed, the higher his speed endurance will be. On the contrary, the shorter his speed endurance will be, the lower his speed endurance will be.
The sprint sport is about speed. When the athlete's speed reaches the limit, the longer the limit speed can be maintained, the faster the speed will naturally be.
So the second half of the 100-meter sprint is actually a test of the athlete's speed and endurance. Those athletes who are weak in the second half basically have poor speed and endurance.
In terms of speed and endurance, white athletes and yellow athletes are not as good as black athletes. This is an indisputable fact. However, black people in the United States were still discriminated against at that time, and Africa was a colony of Europeans, so black athletes had not yet entered the international arena on a large scale.
The research on sprinting in the 1930s was not so systematic, and Liu Changchun didn't know what speed and endurance were. He only knew that his speed would slow down in the second half because his body could not continue to support that kind of high-speed movement.
At the same time, Liu Changchun also knew that other athletes were the same as him. Even European athletes would slow down their speed until the second half of the journey, and they would not be able to continue running at high speed.
After running to 70 meters, Liu Changchun was not surprised, but instead felt it was natural.
However, what he didn't expect was that after 70 meters, Chen Qiang's speed did not slow down, and he was still maintaining the same speed.
"What's going on? His speed has not slowed down!" Liu Changchun suddenly felt extremely surprised. He had never encountered such a situation before.
At this moment, Liu Changchun suddenly realized that he might lose in this competition, losing to this sixteen-year-old young man!
Losing in domestic competitions is something that Liu Changchun has never thought about; losing to a sixteen-year-old athlete is something that Liu Changchun could not think about at all.
And at this moment, things are about to happen.
"How did he maintain speed?" Although Liu Changchun gradually lagged behind, his mind was still full of this question.
...
Chinese athletes have always been terrible in speed and endurance, even worse than Japanese athletes.
In the 1980s and 1990s, China's sprint training was far behind the world's level, and Chinese coaches at that time did not pay attention to speed and endurance training.
It was not until after the Beijing Olympics that China's track and field training ushered in great development, and track and field training became more and more scientific, and speed and endurance training was also paid more and more attention.
The training of speed and endurance cannot be effective in a short period of time, so Chen Qiang has been training on speed and endurance in the training space. Although his speed and endurance are not yet excellent, he is already better than the athletes of this era.
...
"I'm ahead!" Chen Qiang had already observed from the corner of his eyes that a physical dislocation occurred between him and Liu Changchun, and he gained a lead of about 30 centimeters.
Only 30 centimeters lead, this cannot be taken lightly. Any professional sprinter who can catch up with the 30 centimeter gap with a sharp exertion before the finish line, let alone a top-notch player like Liu Changchun.
Chen Qiang knew that he needed a greater advantage so that he could ensure victory.
Liu Changchun also realized this and quickly changed his strategy. He did not intend to overtake Chen Qiang immediately. He wanted to keep his strength until the last second, and before the finish line. At that time, he only needed a rapid force to overtake.
And Liu Changchun is also looking forward to Chen Qiang slowing down.
After all, in this era, athletes have rifles in their speed and endurance, and it is normal to slow down the second half of the journey. Chen Qiang has no reason not to slow down.
But Chen Qiang is an exception, and his speed is still very good.
The gap between Chen Qiang and Liu Changchun changed from 30 cm to 50 cm.
Liu Changchun was a little anxious. The disadvantage of fifty centimeters might turn defeat into victory through the force before the finish line, but it was a bit difficult.
Then, the gap between the two became seventy centimeters.
This distance is no longer something that can be solved by striving hard before the finish line.
The long line of Liu Changchun's pupils that had already appeared, and he also realized something:
"I lost!"
...
Chen Qiang raised his head and hugged his chest and crossed the finish line.
"The champion is obtained!" At this time, Chen Qiang could no longer control the excitement in his heart, and he cheered excitedly.
Although Chen Qiang in his previous life witnessed the birth of many champions with his own eyes, he never won a heavy championship when he was an athlete. Although the 100-meter championship in the National Games is much worse than the National Games championship in later generations, he is still a national champion at least. How could Chen Qiang not be excited?
For the National Games champion, Chen Qiang started making arrangements a few months ago, scoring points every day, and entering the training space for dozens of hours of boring training at night; being a coachman in order to earn more money to supplement nutrition; in order to earn more tips, he went to the dock to pick up foreigners; in the Shanghai selection competition, from registration to competition, he was constantly questioned and looked down upon, and he endured all these.
These patience and waiting are for today and for the moment of winning the championship!
Now, he finally didn't have to endure it anymore. He wanted to laugh out loud and vent it happily.
The sense of accomplishment brought by the national championship is really indescribable!
...
Liu Changchun was the second to cross the finish line. After a few seconds, he returned to Qingming Festival.
If you lose, you lose. If you defeat yourself in a dignified manner on the court, you are not as good as others and there is nothing to say.
Liu Changchun walked towards Chen Qiang immediately, and then stretched out his right hand.
"Congratulations, you ran so well!"
Chen Qiang held Liu Changchun's hand and seemed a little excited, not only because he won the championship, but also because he could talk to this legend in the history of Chinese sports.
"I am not good at winning. I know you have injuries. If you are not injured, I will definitely not be able to beat you." Chen Qiang said.
"You can't say that, aren't you wearing nail running shoes? If you wear nail running shoes, it will definitely be faster than now." Liu Changchun paused and continued: "The 200-meter sprint race will start this afternoon. See you in the 200-meter final!"
"Okay, see you in the 200m final!" Chen Qiang replied.
At this moment, the referee also announced the results of the contestants.
"East Special Forces (Northeast Special Forces United), Liu Changchun, 11 seconds 2."
"Shanghai team, Chen Qiang, 11 seconds!"
