Standing on the track in Lane 6, I could hear the cheers from the 60,000 spectators. This was almost a moment that only belonged to Wayne.

Today's race is his second race of the 2013 season. After the Zhaoqing Grand Prix, he temporarily left the field for more than half a month, especially after the arrival of May, many world famous players began to enter their own state.

Wei En can feel that after a long winter training and spring training, his physical condition has gradually reached its peak. Especially the training plan Randy developed for him, which spans three months, allows him to face every situation.

Able to maintain the best condition during each game.

Of course, one thing that cannot be ignored is that due to the existence of the system, his ability to maintain fluctuations in physical condition will be much stronger than that of athletes of the same level.

In addition, he indeed lived a life like an ascetic. His diet, training, and rest were carried out strictly according to the plan. The so-called "the emperor pays off his hard work", his incomparable tenacity, and his will to never relax are also rare and valuable qualities in him.

important qualities.

In 2013, he has entered the peak period of his career at the age of 21. Coupled with scientific training, Wei En believes that if he exerts his full strength, every shot of 100 meters can be enough to run into 9.80 seconds, or even 9.75 seconds.

!

This year's competition tasks are not as frequent as last year's, and before the World Championships, his participation plan was clearly divided into time periods, giving him enough time to recover his physical and mental state after high-intensity competitions.

So this season, he is ready to go all out for every shot!

"on your marks~"

The starter gave the order and signaled the nine players on the field to take their positions.

The stadium was still noisy, and the camera was still focused on Wei En. He raised his index finger to his lips. After a simple movement, the noise in the stadium suddenly disappeared.

Walking to the starting line, Wei En took a deep breath, squatted down, pressed his hands on the plastic track that had been soaked in rain and became more elastic, and at the same time adjusted his position on the starting block bit by bit.

Try to find the most comfortable spot.

This kind of semi-dry track actually has certain benefits, that is, it will be rich and elastic after being soaked by rain, which is conducive to the performance of the athletes.

As for the temperature, the pre-match service at the Magic City Stadium was praised by many international athletes. Anyway, Wei En's body temperature was maintained very well before entering the venue.

The only pity is that after squatting on the starting block, I didn't feel the presence of wind.

There was a referee passing by in front of him and behind him. They were performing their duties and making sure that there was no foul in the starting posture of the players. After confirming that it was correct, the starter raised the starting gun in his hand:

"set——"

The starter's preparatory command resounded throughout the field. Almost before the end of the command had finished, the nine athletes on the field made a "swish" sound and all took the starting position in a uniform manner.

In the huge Magic City Stadium, the eyes of the 60,000 spectators were all focused on the 200-meter starting area, waiting for the next 20 exciting seconds.

Among the nine players on the field, there are three Chinese players, and these three Chinese players are all standing on the Diamond League stage with their strength, which is even more exciting!

And in the middle of the starting area, wearing the red uniform of the Chinese national team, is the pride of China, the pride of the yellow race - Wei En!

In track 6, Wei En was listening to the gun. Attentive viewers discovered that Wei En's arm support movement was different from before!

As a world-wide track and field superstar, Wei En's competition videos have been analyzed thousands of times by countless experts, from the distance of the starting block, the angle of the knee joint, the distance between the supporting arms, to the specific starting technical movements, acceleration

Technical features of session/en route running session...

Every detail has been studied thoroughly.

But this support arm movement has never been seen before!

In the past, Wei En's arms were placed slightly wider than shoulder width during the start preparation phase, and his arms were in a natural straight line.

But now, his hands are almost pressing on both sides of the runway. They are much wider than the shoulders, and they are... curved arms!

This weird starting posture seems less domineering than before, but it at least shows one thing: Wei En is still trying to improve his technique.

Therefore, many viewers who discovered Wei En's technological changes began to look forward to it.

Can this change from straight-arm start to bent-arm start improve Wei En's performance?

"boom--!"

The starting gun sounds and the game begins!

Under Wayne's feet, the seiko starting block, which was made of metal as its main structure, instantly withstood the sudden burst of domineering power from the explosive starting technique of the crank arm, and immediately made a "squeaking" sound.

The starting force of this shot was extremely explosive, but Wei En felt his body suddenly pause the moment it started.

Mistake!

My first attempt at a bent-arm start was a mistake!

During the winter training, Randy thought about many technical improvement plans to help Wei En improve his performance, and finally found that the existing running skills were difficult to help Wei En continue to improve.

In the end, only one possible improvement point was proposed: the arm support action when preparing to start.

The bent-arm start is a starting technique rarely used by sprinters, because when preparing to start, the more the arms are bent, the lower the center of gravity.

A low center of gravity can, to a certain extent, help athletes obtain a more favorable direction of forward force at the moment of starting. Theoretically speaking, the smaller the angle between the direction of forward force and the ground, the more conducive it is to the athlete's displacement.

.

But a lower center of gravity also means that athletes need to expend more energy to maintain body balance, otherwise if they become unstable, they will fall to the ground directly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition to the better forward performance brought by the low center of gravity, the crank arm start has another advantage compared to the straight arm start: it can additionally start

A moment of extra push is applied.

Think of the two arms when preparing to start as two springs. A straight-arm start is equivalent to two normally resting springs, and a bent-arm start is equivalent to two springs that have been pressed down to gain momentum.

At the moment of starting to exert force, both legs and arms exert force at the same time, and combined with better forwardness, a more powerful forward thrust can be exploded to achieve the purpose of "super start"!

However, the curved arm start and the explosive start occur at the same time, which is very strict for athletes to control the timing. Wei En's own success rate in training is not high, and mistakes are common.

But fortunately, this is a 200-meter race, and it is only in the Diamond League, not the World Championships or the Olympics. Wei En can still bear this mistake.

After starting, with just two or three adjustments, Wei En returned to a good acceleration rhythm.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

When Wei En completed the low center of gravity acceleration stage and transitioned to the technical stage of running on the road, he quickly determined his position.

On the right side of his body, Wallace Spearmon has been tied by him, while Maldina and Zhang Peimeng are normally in the visual lead.

Regarding the process of this game, Wei En has a very vague memory in his mind, and he doesn't know what Spielmont's situation was like.

Logically speaking, although Wei En's ability to accelerate from start to finish is strong, he never exerts his full strength in corners. He is a late-range player.

Although Spearmon is a very extreme late-range type, he did not know that he was tied by someone at 30 meters. The only reasonable explanation is that Spearmon felt something strange in his body and was afraid of being injured, so he was not prepared.

Give it your all.

Aware of this possibility, Wayne no longer paid attention to Spearmon. No matter what the reason was for being surpassed by him so early, he had no "reference value".

Accelerate, continue to accelerate, but not go all out. When he exerts about 95% of his ability, Wei En enters a relaxed running state, preparing to smoothly transition through the first 90 meters of the bend.

Different from the running method used by Wei En, Zhang Peimeng in lane 9 was almost 100% effective in the corners. This is also due to the habit he has developed by serving as the third leg of the relay team in the past few years.

In the past three years, Zhang Peimeng's main training direction has been 100 meters, and he rarely conducted special training for 200 meters. Therefore, in the 200-meter race, he ran as fast as he could in the front and as fast as he could in the back.

Just top it.

Therefore, after Wei En surpassed Martina, it took some effort to catch up with Zhang Peimeng.

Except for Zhang Peimeng, all the players present chose the late running method. However, the running method was the same, but the running effect produced different visual effects due to different personal strengths.

After 90 meters, the curve leads to the straight. This is a very important link in the 200-meter race.

A good technical transition from curves to straights can allow athletes to maintain their speed better, and the 80 to 120-meter interval is usually the highest speed stage for 200-meter athletes. If the speed at this stage is maintained well, the subsequent 80-meter

Mi Cai has greater capital to compete with its rivals.

"The race has begun! Wei En's start-up acceleration is still good. He quickly overtook Spearmon on the outside lane!"

"Continuing to accelerate, Wei En performed very well in the corners. After 80 meters, he surpassed all opponents and came to the first place!"

"Next, take the curve into the straight!"

The cheers of the audience in the stadium became more and more enthusiastic. At this time, the game situation on the field was exactly what they wanted to see:

At 110 meters, there is a very conspicuous yellow marking line on the track. This marking line corresponds to the finish line of the handover area between the three and four poles in the 4x100 meter relay.

At this time, the athletes have not yet completely entered the straight, but it is a very useful reference mark to judge the performance of the athletes in the corners.

Wei En was the first of the nine players on the field to reach the 110-meter line, and was at least one position ahead of the rest of the players. The lead was very obvious!

And the person ranked second is neither Justin Gatlin, whose 100-meter strength is second only to Wayne, nor Warren Weir, last year's London Olympics runner-up, but - Zhang Peimeng!

Thanks to the improvement of his 100-meter strength and the long-term third leg training, Zhang Peimeng has always performed well in the corners of the 200-meter race, and this time was no exception.

Ranking third are Warren Weir in lane 5 and Jason Young in lane 2, two Jamaican players.

What is surprising is that Justin Gatlin reached the 110-meter line at the same time as Xie Zhenye. Many track and field fans who follow Gatlin couldn't help but sigh after seeing this situation. It seems that Gatlin is really old.

!

In the Diamond League Doha station, he only ran 9.96 seconds under a strong tailwind of 1.2m/s, and now he is "on par" with Chinese teenager Xie Zhenye. He really doesn't have the same style as last year.

120 meters, 130 meters...

Who would have thought that after turning into a straight line, there would be an abnormal change!

After entering the straight line smoothly, Wei En lost almost no speed, and with his higher top speed and speed maintenance ability, he quickly widened the gap further!

He didn't take the time to observe the positions of other opponents on the field, because Wei En was extremely confident in his own strength. Now, there are only two people who can let him actively observe their positions in the 200-meter event!
