Chapter 157 The real opponent(1/2)
July 5, 2012, night.
In less than a day, the Diamond League Paris leg will be ushered in. For this day, Wei En has been meditating for a full month.
To reduce the usual amount and frequency of strength and quality training, it is natural to take Blake as a lesson.
Blake's training volume can make Bolt "slump to the ground", and as early as after the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, he said: "Be careful with Blake, he works like a beast."
If you look closely at Blake's body shape, it's not difficult to tell that he must have done a lot of long-term strength training. It is said that if Glenn Mills hadn't called him personally to stop training one Christmas, he would have lost weight.
Spend most of the day in the training room.
However, if you go too far, you will never reach the limit.
When some physiology experts conducted activity studies on muscles, they found that sprinters seemed to have a high proportion of "fast-twitch" and "ultra-fast-twitch" muscle fibers--type and llx muscle fibers in scientific terms.
It contracts violently during bursts of exercise.
Weight training studies have not been shown to cause an interchange of fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers (L-type muscle fibers), but it does cause some ultrafast-twitch (LLX) muscle fibers to switch to fast-twitch (type) muscles.
fiber.
This means that after an athlete's muscle fibers undergo explosive exercise, their muscle contraction and force production speed will gradually slow down.
However, when an athlete stops weight training, the muscle fibers that were originally converted to fast-twitch (type) will rebound and convert again to ultra-fast-twitch (llx type) muscle fibers.
Scientific records show that athletes actually have more ultra-fast-twitch muscle fibers during a period of time after they stop lifting weights than at any other time.
Therefore, as the London Olympics approaches, it is rational, scientific and correct for Wei En to reduce the amount and frequency of strength training.
In fact, in the summer, athletes' physical condition has already entered the peak period of the year. At this time, it is useless to "temporarily".
What athletes need to do at this time is not to make "quantitative changes" through training, but to polish themselves through competitions so that their physical fitness and special skills can reach an appropriate balance point during competition training.
This is like a disciple who has been practicing martial arts in a sect all year round and honing his moves. No matter how good he is in theory and skill in learning moves, he has no practical experience. If he encounters an opponent of the same level with rich practical experience in the arena,
It's also easy to get beaten to a bloody head.
What's more, for Wei En, improving his physical attributes is not necessarily achieved only through training...
After this month's time has settled, Wei En will certainly not waste the opportunity to add points.
From the IAAF Instanbul Indoor Championships to the Diamond League Rome Station at the end of May, Wei En also accumulated a certain amount of distributable points, all of which were consumed as early as two weeks ago.
Now Wei En's physical attribute panel has undergone considerable changes compared to after winter training:
Name:Wayne
Age:19
Occupation: Short jumper
Strength:89→92
Stamina:88
Flexibility:87→90
Physical fitness: 90
Reactions: 84
Points available for distribution: 6→0
The number of points that can be allocated is limited, so there must be a trade-off for adding points to each attribute.
Wei En will participate in four events in this year's London Olympics, 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4x100 meters.
For the time being, it is most appropriate to focus on improving the [Strength] attribute. Of course, while the [Strength] attribute is improving, the [Flexibility] attribute must be improved simultaneously and cannot be stretched too far.
As for the [Endurance] attribute, Wei En will participate in two Diamond League events before the London Olympics. If he can win both events, it will not be too late to add points to the [Endurance] attribute by then.
As the time comes to July 5, most countries and regions have concluded their Olympic selections.
However, this year's track and field sprint event in China is still the same as before. There is no trial arrangement. Anyway, the quota is determined and undisputed.
What is gratifying is that the Chinese track and field team has fully participated in the men's 100-meter and 200-meter events in this year's Olympic Games.
The three quota places for the men's 100 meters belong to Wei En, Su Bingtian, and Zhang Peimeng. The three quota places for the men's 200 meters belong to Wei En, Zhang Peimeng, and Xie Zhenye.
Compared with Wei, Zhang, and Su who had already achieved the standard last year, Xie Zhenye's performance this year is actually even more gratifying.
Although Xie Zhenye's current performance in the 100-meter event is still a little immature, and his hard strength is only maintained between 10 seconds 2 and 10 seconds 3, his 200-meter event is much better than Zhang Peimeng, who is far stronger than him in the 100-meter event.
Stablize.
For Zhang Peimeng, the 200-meter race is just a "tool" to hone his speed endurance, so he rarely participates in 200-meter races and his performance is not stable enough.
However, Xie Zhenye has shown a very stable performance in the 200-meter event this year. Last year, he had stabilized his 200-meter strength at around 20.80 seconds. This year, he has broken through all the way to between 20.50 and 20.60 seconds.
between.
Randy also gives him guidance on weekdays. After returning from the Asian Youth Championship in Colombo, his training status continues to be excellent. Wei En estimates that he may continue to break through at the World Championships in Barcelona a few days later.
Speaking of the World Youth Championship, Kulkina will also leave from Mexico tomorrow for Barcelona, Spain. This will be her second time competing in the World Youth Championship.
As early as 2009, when Kulkina was 16 years old, she won the women's high jump silver medal at the World Youth Championships in Bressan with a score of 1.85 meters.
Three years later, Kulkina's current strength is definitely a "dimensionality-reducing blow" for young athletes at the World Youth Championship, just like Wei En did at the World Youth Championship in Moncton.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is definitely not a joke. After all, Kulkina set a new record for the Russian women's youth at the Russian Championships and Olympic Trials a day ago with a score of 1.99 meters.
She set a high jump record and was selected for the Olympic national team, edging out Yinlena Gordeeva who also jumped 1.99 meters.
This year, Kulkina set two personal bests, from 1.98 at the Eros Indoor Championships to 1.99 at the Eros Olympic Trials a day ago, only one step away from the 2-meter mark.
This is of course not just what her talent can achieve. After all, in her previous life, after she left Gorkov's championship coaching team and chose her own middle school coach Djabriyan, due to the decline in training quality and the emergence of injuries, she
She failed to clear 1.9 meters during the 2012 outdoor season.
Without Wei En spending money on her to provide her with better training conditions and let img academy develop a more scientific and systematic training plan for her, she and Jabriyan would have definitely made many detours.
When he thought of being able to meet Kulkina frequently during the London Olympics, he felt so happy that even his dreams seemed sweet.
------------------
At 21:40 on the evening of July 5th, Paris - Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
Wayne and Lemaitre had completed their pre-match inspections and urine sampling, and were sitting in the waiting room watching the game while waiting to appear.
Opposite Wynn and Lemaitre, Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gayon were also sitting side by side, and the two of them were also chatting together.
"The people here are not good, how good are you going to entertain them today?" Lemaitre glanced at the American duo opposite and asked softly in Wei En's ear.
Wei En pretended to be stupid and said: "Host? This is your home court, shouldn't you be the one to greet them?"
"Don't act stupid, I'm no match for them!" Lemaitre shook his head and smiled.
After running several times last year in the 9s and 9s, he also had a lot of physical problems. Some minor injuries and illnesses kept coming back. Although his competitive status did not decline significantly, it did.
It also caused a certain degree of negative impact.
Lemaitre is very self-aware. Not to mention that his condition has not declined. Even at his peak last year, it was basically impossible for him to defeat the American duo in front of him head-on.
There are still 21 days until the opening of the London Olympics, and 28 days until the start of the Olympic track and field events. At this time, track and field teams from many countries have come to Europe to adapt to the environment in advance, and some high-level athletes are scattered in France, Switzerland, Spain, etc.
country to participate.
The Big Three of Jamaica are currently in retreat. The only one with news, Yohan Blake, does not seem to be planning to participate in the Diamond League before the London Olympics. Therefore, in the following time, the focus of the men's 100m event will naturally be on Wayne
and the American duo.
And coincidentally, they all signed up for the men's 100-meter event in the Paris Diamond League.
This focus battle naturally attracted the attention of countless media and track and field fans. As for Lemaitre, as the host, he was just a green leaf for decoration.
Wei En smiled slightly: "I'm not in good shape lately. If I can run for 10 seconds, I will be successful."
Wayne's answer earned Lemaitre the middle finger: "Haha, you can lie to your friends, but don't fool yourself."
The two of them have been training together for a month. Can't he tell whether Wei En's condition is good or not?
Does running under 10 seconds count as success?
Just kidding, with the state Wei En showed in training, no matter what...
"The men's 100-meter final is about to begin. Please line up in the order of the names I read: Terrell Kimmons, Michael Flatt..."
Yes, no matter how much I think about it, it is not as intuitive as personal experience.
Whether Wei En is really in poor condition or he has other plans, won't we know by looking at his performance in the game?
------------------
The time has come to 21:46, and the long-awaited men’s 100-meter race at the Diamond League Station has arrived!
The men's 100-meter event is always the most anticipated and the most concerned track and field event around the world.
The organizers of the Paris Diamond League also arranged a very traditional schedule. By the time the men's 100-meter athletes came on stage, only the men's pole vault competition was left in the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
Wayne, Tyson Gayon, and Justin Gatlin, this long-awaited battle before the London Olympics has finally begun.
On the large screen and live TV screen at the scene, the three basic information of the nine contestants, including their track order, nationality, and name, were displayed:
Lane 1, United States, Terrell Kimmons;
Lane 2, Jamaica, Michael Flatt;
Lane 3, America, Michael Rogers;
Lane 4, France, Christophe Lemaitre;
Lane 5, United States, Tyson Gayin;
Lane 6, China, Wei En;
Lane 7, United States, Justin Gatlin;
