Stylistic road

Chen Mingliang didn't have a tight schedule for this Olympics.

Time came to August 25th. Today, Chen Mingliang has two matches, namely the men's 800-meter preliminaries and the men's 200-meter semifinals.

On this day, Liu Xiang will also participate in the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals.His semi-final is between the men's 800m and men's 200m. The order of the competition is men's 800m, women's 400m hurdles, and men's 110m hurdles.

Chen Mingliang hasn't participated in the 800-meter race for a long time. Although the training is still going on as usual, he doesn't like this project psychologically because he is too tired.

The current world record was set by the famous Danish athlete Jeep Kate, with a score of 1:41.11, but he is now old.Since losing to Chen Mingliang in the last Olympics, he has lost his dominance in the world. Even without Chen Mingliang, he could not win the championship.

It is said that he will retire after the Olympics.

After Jeep Kate, before David Rudisa, the men's 800 meters did not have a good hand.

Athletes have a trend, that is, as they grow older, they will get shorter and shorter.

Here is the staying power.

Staying power on the playing field.

For example, Sun Yang, when he made his debut, he first swam 1500 meters, then changed to 400 meters, then 200 meters, but now he can't swim anymore.

Bolt is also 400 meters, then 200 meters, then 100 meters.

Chen Mingliang himself thinks about whether to give up the 800 meters in the future, because this is still a test of physical strength, and his current training structure is more inclined to practice sprinting.

To run 800 meters in less than one east is actually a test.

So he didn't even really pick up the 400 meters. This is a test of physical strength distribution skills.

However, the 800m is a project he started after all, and it is a pity to lose it directly.

In the last one or two years, he has trained explosive power. Almost his endurance has been increased incidentally, and he has not deliberately practiced.

Fortunately, Chen Mingliang is still young and has room for growth.The coach suggested that he can practice long jump or triple jump, which is also a direction for development.

Speaking of the men's 800 meters, there are a lot of athletes participating in this event in this Olympics, divided into 9 groups, 72 people.But the 800-meter format is different from the 100-meter format.

The rules for group promotion are the same. The top two in the group are promoted, so there are 18, and the remaining 6 people are selected from the best performers. You may not be able to advance through the third place in the group, as long as there are 24 people. Okay.

The fifth place in the most powerful group can be promoted.

There is no rematch in the men's 800 meters, and the next game is the semi-final.The three teams in the semi-finals, and the two best players in the top two teams entered the finals.

After an unfriendly day, coming back today, the audience seemed to have changed a group of people.

The enthusiasm of the audience in the stadium is back!

As long as Chen Mingliang appears, at least half of the people on the scene will focus on Chen Mingliang. Although he is not participating in the most popular event, the 800m is also a very important event in the Olympics.

Chen Mingliang scratched his head when he entered the arena. He was the star of the audience and the most beautiful cub.

Starting from 800 meters, this is the first race without starting blocks, using a standing start.

The starter’s password is also different. There is no “preparation” item. After shouting “all in place”, when all the contestants are ready to stand still after the starting line, they can fire their shots to start the race.

The technical difficulty of this sport is actually very high, and there are also requirements for the starting posture. If you don't do it well, it is easy to waste too much energy.

In general competitions, including the Diamond League and Grand Prix, because there are no preliminaries, when there are more than 8 athletes, two people often share the same track, and usually the organizer prepares rabbits.

The rabbit is a synonym for the front runner.

There are no rabbits in the 800 meters of the Olympic Games.

In other competitions, the organizers are particular about setting up the leading rabbits.There are two 800-meter lead runners, one leads 400 meters, and the other leads 550-600 meters.

The marathon event has the most bunnies, and there are bunnies in both professional and amateur players, also called official bunnies.

At 2 o'clock in the morning on August 26, Beijing time, the men's 800 meters race officially began.

Chen Mingliang is in the fourth lane in the second group, and is in a good position.

The best runway for 800 meters is also 3, 4, 5, 6, and the innermost and outermost tracks are not good.

800 meters will merge at the end of the first corner, but you need to reach the separation line of the cross track to merge.

Before the game, Chen Mingliang raised his hands, meaning he hoped the audience would give some support.

Sure enough, the applause immediately rang out, and the quality of the audience was still very high.

Yesterday's 200m was an exception. I don't know what will happen to the 200m semi-finals.

The host of the scene briefly introduced the situation of the athletes on the scene. There are many good players in this group. I think Wilfred Bunge of Kenya and Yuri Bozakovsky of Russia are all regulars of the Golden League. .

"Onyourmarks!" The referee began to prepare the athletes for the game.

Chen Mingliang heard the sound and squatted down subconsciously, stepped on the bottom of his foot and almost didn't fall, only to realize that there was no starting block underneath.

The audience gave a burst of laughter, and it turns out that big stars can also make such low-level mistakes.

The referee was very friendly and aborted the game. He also specifically asked Chen Mingliang if he was ready. Chen Minglian said OK.

Then the referee shouted again:

"Onyourmarks!"

The athletes all bend down and make a starting position

"Snapped!"

Game start!

Chen Mingliang ran out quickly.

It cannot be called swift, but fast.

Running 800 meters, naturally you can't accelerate as fast as 100 meters or 200 meters. It's easy to lose energy. However, Chen Mingliang's style always runs in the forefront, regardless of what his opponents are doing and don't want to care.

Chen Mingliang's normal speed is also faster than others.

The 800-meter curve is very short, and he quickly ran to the vicinity of the merging marking line and easily grabbed the first position.

Hold your head high, count the rhythm in your heart, stride forward!

The speed is really fast. If you don't know that Chen Mingliang is the last Olympic champion, many people think that Chen Mingliang is a leading rabbit, and he ran a little too fast.

In fact, this is Chen Mingliang's own rhythm, especially with the growth of his body in recent years, his physical fitness is better, and his speed endurance is also stronger.

He doesn't care if the players behind can keep up, anyway, he has already broken the wind, you can follow it boldly.

At first, there were people following, and everyone felt that it was nothing more than a preliminary match. Why bother, the speed slowed down quickly.

At the last moment, Chen Mingliang didn't choose to sprint. Amidst the cheering of the audience, he ran across the finish line at a constant speed.

The result is 1:43.71!Sure enough, there is no one.

This result is almost 1 second faster than the second place.

Chen Mingliang was promoted smoothly!
