Chapter 232 400m Preliminaries

On August 18, the men's 400-meter preliminary rounds began.

"Young people have such strong recovery abilities. After two high-intensity 1-meter races in a row, they're like nothing happened today. It's really enviable!"

Seeing Liu Wei's energetic appearance at the starting line, Jiang Jianjun couldn't help but sigh. He remembered that when he was young, he would sleep in bed all day if he encountered a similar situation.

When they returned to the training field, their backs and legs ached.

However, judging from the range of motion and facial expression of Liu Wei during his warm-up, he concluded that Liu Wei had basically recovered.

"Yes, but the team doctor said yesterday that there are still slight signs of muscle fatigue. Because the 1-meter final was really intense, it is difficult to fully recover in a short period of time."

Wang Qiao's words confirmed Jiang Jianjun's judgment.

"Not bad! They were almost delirious and only felt slightly fatigued after a day of rest. Even these black players on the field might not be able to do that!"

Zou Zhen saw the two talking about Liu Wei and got excited on a whim. After the 100-meter race, as the person in charge of the short-distance events, he finally felt a sense of pride.

"See that? The two top leaders on the podium aren't here today. This silver medal in the 1-meter race has temporarily saved track and field. It seems they went to a meeting this morning to share their success stories!"

After a brief pause, Zou Zhen continued.

Jiang Jianjun smiled and shook his head. Did he want to promote Liu Wei's training methods to other sports?

To effectively promote this training method, the prerequisite is probably to find a genius, or at least a physical prodigy.

Wang Qiao glanced at the time on the electronic screen; it was still a few minutes before nine o'clock in the morning. Looking at the starting line, the first group of athletes had already taken to the track.

Looking further into the distance, standing on track 7 is Liu Wei.

"The first group to go today is 6-Wei, looks like they can give us a good start!"

Jiang Jianjun was halfway through his sentence when he turned around and saw Coach Sun and Liu Jingren sitting alone in a corner. Both of them had serious expressions. Coach Sun was close to Liu Jingren's ear, whispering something. Liu Jingren listened and nodded, his expression unusually serious.

At this moment, the referee at the starting line of the 400-meter race had already given the order to take his position, and the eight team members participating in the race had already stepped onto the starting blocks and knelt on one knee on the ground.

With the sound of the starting gun, the eight team members got up and ran, opening the curtain on the 400-meter race.

Today, Wei is in lane 7. His opponents in the same group include Frenchman Dejon and American David Neville.

"Guess who will be the champion of this year's World Championships in the United States? Wang Qiao, don't tell me the answer."

Jiang Jianjun held the competition schedule, looked at the names of the players in this group, and smiled as he looked at everyone.

"It's definitely Varina! They've been undefeated for so many years. They only lost to Merritt in the Golden League. They seem to have won all their other matches!"

Upon hearing a team member identify it as Varina, Jiang Jianjun smiled and shook his head.

"No way! The undefeated myth won't last this year! It looks like American sprinting is going to decline!"

When that team member heard the news, he looked as if the world of American sprinting was about to collapse.

"Hehe, since Coach Jiang asked at this time, the champion is probably this American on the court. What's his name again? Right, it's David Neville."

Hu Huo rummaged through the program booklet next to him and said, "Jiang Jianjun nodded in satisfaction. He didn't need to turn around; he knew it was Hu Huo."

This college athlete is always a step ahead of other athletes when it comes to things that require mental effort.

It would be great if all our athletes had this level of knowledge; learning more is never a bad thing. That's probably difficult to achieve in the short term, so we can only hope that athletes will be aware of the need to improve themselves outside of training.

However, thinking about it is one thing, doing it is quite another. When I was an athlete, I didn't read many books. It was only after I became a coach that I started to make up for what I had missed.

"Look, the 6V has been added! How come it was added so early? That's crazy!"

Amidst the exclamations of others, Jiang Jianjun snapped out of his daze and looked towards the sports field. Liu Wei was sprinting wildly on the first straightaway, just like he was running a 100-meter dash, without a care in the world.

"This kid is unpredictable again."

After Zou Zhen finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Wang Qiao. Wang Qiao gave an awkward smile, his expression slightly embarrassed. Right now, he only oversaw Liu Wei's training, or he would provide specific guidance when Liu Wei encountered technical difficulties.

As for tactics, Liu Wei is very opinionated and stubborn. Even if he makes his own arrangements, he will only remain silent if there are disagreements.

This has happened more than once. Sometimes, tactical arrangements are discussed with Liu Wei before the game to avoid having to improvise when asked by superiors. If Liu Wei's performance doesn't follow the script that day, it can be a bit awkward.

In this competition, Liu Wei gave him a theory: in a competition with low intensity like the preliminaries, instead of running the whole race with 80% to 90% effort, it is better to run 90% of the distance with all your might and then paddle across the finish line for the last part.

This theory left Wang Qiao completely bewildered. In previous world competitions, some people had also slacked off in the later stages of the 400-meter race, but they didn't run at full speed in the early stages as Liu Wei had suggested.

Then Liu Wei brought up the theory of body inertia, saying that in short-term races, if the body gets used to this kind of running style that doesn't exert all its strength, it may not be able to adjust its physical condition to the best state at the start of the final race.

Hearing this, Wang Qiao could only spread his hands in resignation.

This is the drawback of third-rate coaches instructing first-rate athletes. Because they haven't experienced what the coaches are saying, even if it doesn't sound too wrong, they can't make a judgment.

While everyone was talking, Liu Wei had already started to go around the corner, and he passed the Botswana driver in lane 8 at the end of the straight.

Dejounteer in lane 4 and David Neville in lane 5 must have realized they've fallen behind Wesley in lane 6, and they're also using their arm swing frequency to boost their stride frequency when they're on the curves.

At this moment, Wang Qiao laughed. Liu Wei's running style was really too dangerous. The other two team members saw that Liu Wei had already started to go through the bend when they were still some distance away from entering the bend. Even if they were world-class athletes, they must have felt a little panicked.

For at least the next few seconds, instinct will dominate your body.

Liu Wei has already entered the bend, and these two team members have only completed two-thirds of the bend. How can this not make people panic? The other team members are even further away from Liu Wei.

After entering the straightaway, the two were already frustrated to see that Liu Wei was nearly 20 meters behind them. It was only the preliminary round; there was no need to push so hard, but the lead was a bit too much.

In the final 20 meters of the race, Liu Wei simply jogged and paddled his way to the finish line. Just as he wobbled to the finish line, Deqiong was still more than 2 meters behind him, and the audience stood up and applauded Liu Wei.

Wang Qiao was among those applauding: "You brat, that was a real blow to my confidence!"

最后成绩出来了,6威的成绩是44秒91,德琼跑了45秒12,大卫.内维尔的成绩是45秒22。

The results were all within the normal range, but Liu Wei's running style seriously disrupted the rhythm of the other team members.

The two men were sitting with their hands on their thighs, panting heavily. They didn't look like high-level athletes at all.

It was clearly an ordinary result, but Wei's actions completely disrupted the rhythm of the entire race.
