Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 35 Breaking the record in the preliminaries? !
  On February 2, the 10 Pattaya Asian Indoor Track and Field Championships officially started.

Compared with comprehensive athletes such as the Asian Games and East Asian Games, the indoor and outdoor Asian Championships will not deliberately conduct entrance ceremonies for the representative teams. They will only enter the venue by ceremonial staff holding the flags of each representative team at the opening ceremony. .

Pattaya is located on the southern coast of Thailand. It was once a dilapidated small fishing village. After decades of development, it has become a beautiful coastal tourist city.

However, for the athletes who have participated so far, they have no time to stop and enjoy the scenery, let alone go to the beach.

The Chinese track and field team arrived in Bangkok by plane at noon on February 2, and then transferred to Pattaya. After landing and checking in, they immediately adapted to the venue.

Since Liu Xiang, a top player in Asia, is not participating, the Pattaya Asian Indoor Championships did not attract much attention.

However, after arriving in Pattaya, we still saw a certain number of Chinese tourists coming to express their support, and there were also many local Chinese people who came to watch the game.

For Wen Hao and Gong Wei, the schedule of the men's 60-event event is simply unbelievable.

Preliminaries at 10 a.m., semi-finals at 3 p.m., and finals at 5 p.m.

Three rounds of competition are concentrated on one day. There is really no one left in this schedule, and I don’t know what kind of crazy person designed it.

If it were the 100-meter event, the organizer would have been criticized by the heads of each representative team. However, for the 60-meter event, although it is still a bit outrageous, it is not unacceptable.

The human body has three major energy supply systems: phosphagen system, glycolysis system, and aerobic metabolism system.

The shorter the time required for exercise, the higher the participation rate of the anaerobic energy supply system, especially the indoor 60-meter event.

Among the three major systems, the phosphagen system has the most efficient functional efficiency, but its maintenance time is short, and its maximum intensity is generally within 6 to 8 seconds.

Beyond this time limit, the glycolysis system will gradually take over the energy supply banner and maintain the maximum proportion of energy supply within a period of about 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Therefore, for the indoor 60-meter project, the glycolysis system hardly needs to be activated, and the phosphagen system is mainly involved in the main energy supply throughout the entire process.

One of the characteristics of the phosphagen system is that it recovers extremely quickly.

So to put it this way, there seems to be nothing wrong with this schedule.

The grouping in the preliminaries is as "balanced" as ever.

There are a total of 6 preliminary groups. The top two in each group will advance directly, and the four best results will be used as replacements. This means that there are only 16 places in the semi-finals!
  The competition is still fierce, but it's not bad for Wen Hao.

In this Asian Indoor Championships in Pattaya, the Neon team did not send their current top domestic players to participate.

However, the two little neons who came to Pattaya to participate in the indoor 60-meter event were also athletes that Wen Hao was familiar with in his previous life.

Shinji Takahira, born in 1984, and Kenji Fujimitsu, born in 1986, are both expected to be among the top ten athletes in the history of the Neon 200m.

However, at this point in time, they are still just "very capable" newcomers in Neon.

In addition to Shinji Takahira and Kenji Fujimitsu, the original 100-meter champion of the Doha Asian Games - Saudi star Hassan Habib is also on the list of participants.

However, the above three people did not attract Fumio's special attention, because Takahira Shinji and Fujimitsu Kenji are both famous 200-meter athletes, and although Hassan Habib was the Asian Games champion in the original history, he was not that strong. Where to go.

What caught Wen Hao's attention the most was a strong black man wearing a Karta flag on his chest. His name was Samuel Francis!

前世，从1998年的曼谷亚运会至2021的冬京奥运会，亚洲百米纪录经历了从10秒00至9秒83的变迁。

1998, Bangkok Asian Games, Koji Ito, 10.00;

2007, Amman Asian Championships, Francis, 9.99;

2014, Incheon Asian Games, Ogunode, 9.93;

2015, Wuhan Asian Championships, Ogunode, 9.91;

2021, Winter Olympics, Su Bingtian, 9.83!

This strong black man named Samuel Francis is a black athlete from Qatar who was just naturalized from Nigeria this year.

In addition to Francis, Qatar even has a black naturalized athlete named Abdullah participating in the men's 60 meters, and even several other events are also participated by black athletes.

Some small oil countries in West Asia are very wealthy, but their populations are too small to find enough talented athletes in the field of sports.

So, led by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and other countries, many West Asian countries have begun to naturalize black athletes from Africa, the Caribbean and other places, so that black people can compete for honors for their countries.

Regarding this Asian Indoor Championship, Wen Hao has almost no memory. He only knows that the national team originally sent Gong Wei and Wen Yongyi. He didn't expect to compete with these black naturalized players so soon, which really made him feel a little excited.

"You're lucky in the preliminaries. It can be said that the sixth group you are in has no opponents. Let's take it easy later and save as much energy as possible for the semi-finals and finals. Do you understand?"

After the warm-up was completed, it was not until the inspection was approaching that Li Qing opened his mouth to give instructions.

Wen Hao nodded. There were only a few masters in Asia. Basically, he was very familiar with them. In fact, he could save his energy without Li Qing's instructions.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Pattaya Asian Indoor Track and Field Championships, the men's 60m preliminaries have officially begun!
  In the first group of preliminaries, the most outstanding performance was the host player Sandy Wachala of Thailand. He easily took the lead with a time of 6 seconds, leading the second Indonesian player by 72 seconds.

In the second group of preliminaries, Wen Hao's teammate Gong Wei appeared. He was a little unlucky and collided with Abdullah of Qatar.

However, this black naturalized athlete from Qatar does not seem to be very strong, and Gong Wei is also the champion of the Chinese National Games last year and Asia's top 100-meter athlete, so he is not false in the face of Abdullah.

In the end, Gong Wei won the first place in the group with a time of 6 seconds, and Abdullah ranked second with a time of 70 seconds.

And judging from the game footage, neither of them was exerting their full strength, and both were trying to conserve their energy.

In the third group of preliminaries, Kenji Fujimitsu advanced without pressure in 6 seconds;
  In the fourth group of preliminaries, Francis easily won in 6 seconds;

In the fifth group of the preliminaries, Gaoping Shenshi ranked first with a time of 6 seconds.

Finally, it was the turn of Wen Hao's sixth group in the preliminaries!
  In the spectator stands, Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the national track and field team, specially called Li Qing over and sat together to watch the men's 60-meter event.

Throughout the winter training, Feng Shuyong paid attention to Wen Hao's training data.

Based on those training data, without any explanation from Li Qing, Feng Shuyong could roughly calculate what kind of results Wenhao could achieve given his current physical fitness.

Although it is only calculated based on theory, it will not be too far away, unless Wenhao himself performs abnormally and cannot show his due strength in the game.

The opponents Wen Hao had to face in the preliminaries were not very strong. If he had sacrificed his energy in order to save his energy in the semi-finals and finals, Feng Shuyong felt that he would have easily advanced with a time between 6 and 70 seconds.

"On your marks!"

The command "Get on your feet" echoed in the indoor gymnasium. Wenhao, like other players on the track, walked to the starting line and started to prepare.

"Set——"

"Snapped--!"

The starting gun went off loudly, and the picture on the big screen flashed, and the reactions of the seven players on the field jumped to the start.

Wen Hao's starting reaction was 0.189 seconds, which is not very fast, but compared to other players' starting reaction of 0.2x, it is still quite good.

After starting, Feng Shuyong could clearly feel that Wen Hao's starting technique had not improved much compared to last year.

This may be the reason why Li Qing focused Wen Hao's training on improving his physical fitness during winter training, and therefore did not focus on polishing his skills.

But even so, after three months of continuous strengthening, Wen Hao's physical fitness is enough to crush his opponents in the same group.

If your skills are not enough, then use your physical fitness to top it off!
  In just 10 meters, Wen Hao took a clear lead and ranked first!
  The explosive power contained in his powerful strength propelled Wen Hao's muscular body to increase speed extremely quickly.

After 10 meters, the smooth technical connection transitions from the start-up stage to the acceleration stage, while also widening the gap.

20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters!
  Only two-thirds of the way through the race, Wen Hao had already left other opponents far behind.

He has opened up a gap of nearly two positions between the Vietnamese and Indian players ranked second and third!
  Seeing Wen Hao's outstanding performance in the first game of the season, Li Qing could not help but wave his fists and shout:
  "so beautiful!"

"Stable! Save your energy next and slow down! Reduce."

Li Qing's shouts came to an abrupt end because after gaining a huge lead, Wen Hao did not release water to conserve his energy as he was told before the game.

After 40 meters, except for not pressing the line, Wen Hao almost crossed the finish line with all his strength.

The moment Wen Hao crossed the finish line with a huge advantage, a number on the timer that stunned Feng Shuyong and Li Qing jumped out - 6.59!

"What's the national record?"
