Chapter 8 Tickets to the Olympics
The men's [-]-meter competition in the morning has ended, and the men's [-]-meter semi-final will be held later in the afternoon.Only two groups will be played in the semi-finals, and then ranked according to the total score, the top eight will enter the finals the next morning.

At this point in the competition, there are no weaker players anymore. Those who can reach this point are all strong players. If we talk about dark horses, there is only Zhang Guan.

If the other 10.3 athletes are calculated based on strength, only Chen Jian and Shen Bao can guarantee to enter the final. Both of them have the strength to run within [-] seconds, and the other players will depend on their performance and performance on the spot up.

The organizers of the event divided the two strongest athletes, Chen Jian and Shen Bao, into different groups. Zhang Guan happened to be in the same group as Shen Bao. In the same group were Yin Hanzhao, the men's 1-meter champion of the [-]th National Games, and Gui Sheng's [-]-meter champion. The record is held by Gong Wei, No.[-] Liu Dapeng in the Northeast [-]m, Jin Ke, a special student from Peking University, and Hu Kai, the spectacle man who competed in the semi-finals.

In terms of strength, Shen Bao is undoubtedly the strongest. The other Yin Hanzhao, Gong Wei, and Liu Dapeng are all experienced veterans and have a chance to reach the finals. As for the young Jin Ke and Hu Kai, they may reach the finals Sex is less so.

Since the top eight in the semi-final total score were selected for the competition, the eight athletes on the starting line did not show too much gunpowder, but were very harmonious.

When the athletes all stood on the starting block, the referee raised the starting gun.

The gunshot rang out, and everyone rushed out immediately, but Zhang Guan's start was half a beat slower, and he fell behind in the last moment at the start.

"The start is still as bad as ever. This is almost 0.4 seconds of reaction time at the start! It seems that this kid's start is really bad, he's not pretending!" Director Yu in the stands thought silently.

On the track, Zhang Guan also felt very helpless. His condition in the afternoon was still relatively average. Although it was slightly better than the second race in the morning, it was still a little worse than the reaction time of the first race in the morning within 0.3 seconds.

But then, he entered Zhang Guan's regular sprinting rhythm, and his sprinting skills played an effective role. With super explosive power, he quickly increased his speed to the extreme, and then began to surpass other players.

Hu Kai, the spectacle man, was running side by side with Jin Ke at the start of the race. One of the two was a special recruit from Tsinghua University, and the other was a special recruit from Peking University. Such a sense of competition, and now they are even more unwilling to give in to each other on the field, trying their best to compete with each other.But Hu Kai's state is obviously better. After a brief stalemate, Hu Kai has already led Jin Ke by half a body.

At this moment again, a figure kicked past Hu Kai, he was Zhang Guan.

"Being overtaken by others is a very familiar feeling. I seem to have experienced this scene in the morning. Why is it Zhang Guan again!"

The same scene happened in the semi-finals in the morning. At that time, Hu Kai was just half a body ahead of Pang Guibin, and was overtaken by Zhang Guan. But Hu Kai never expected that this scene would happen again in the semi-finals in the afternoon.Being overtaken twice by the same person in the same way on the same field on the same day, Hu Kai suddenly felt very depressed, but there was no way, Hu Kai's own speed could not catch up with Zhang Guan at all.

Next, Zhang Guan caught up with Liu Dapeng, the flying man from the Northeast. He overtook him without even giving Liu Dapeng a chance to stalemate, and then caught up with Gong Wei, the record holder of Gui Province.

"It's Zhang Guan, he's really fast!" Gong Wei murmured in his heart. He once heard his teammate Pang Guibin talk about it at noon. Pang Guibin simply gave up on chasing, and now Gong Wei also deeply understands this point.

Yin Hanzhao, who was in second place, found that there was already a distance from Shen Bao, who was in the leading position, but Yin Hanzhao always believed that he had a chance to catch up, because he knew that Shen Bao would slow down in the second half of the race.

Shen Bao's strongest sport is the indoor 60 meters. He won the third place in the indoor 3 meters at the International Indoor Athletics Championships held in Vienna in March. Therefore, Shen Bao's indoor 60 meters is the world's top level.Shen Bao is characterized by fast starting response, strong explosive power, and early explosive point, so he can achieve excellent results in the indoor 60-meter event. However, in the 60-meter race, Shen Bao can't always race at the level of 60-meter explosive power. That's why he couldn't beat Chen Jian in the [-]-meter event.

In fact, as Yin Hanzhao expected, after 50 meters, it was the time for many athletes to increase their speed to the extreme, but Shen Bao was not as fast as before.

"The opportunity is here! Maybe we can catch up with Shen Bao before the finish line! Wait, someone is catching up from behind!" Yin Hanzhao had already noticed Zhang Guan who was approaching.

After 70 meters, Shen Bao, who was in the lead, also noticed that there were two people approaching behind him.

After 80 meters, Zhang Guan overtook Yin Hanzhao.

Shen Bao turned his head slightly, just in time to see the scene where Zhang Guan surpassed Yin Hanzhao.

"It's the rookie Zhang Guan who came! He should have started a lot slower, how could he catch up!" Shen Bao's mind flashed in the morning's rematch, Zhang Guan passed from the last place to No.1. scene.Then he looked ahead and saw that the end was in sight.

"The end is coming soon, hold on! How can I lose to a rookie!" Shen Bao gritted his teeth and tried his best.

After 90 meters, Zhang Guan and Shen Bao were neck and neck. At this point, neither Zhang Guan nor Shen Bao had any reason to give up. This was no longer a battle for promotion, but a battle of honor as an athlete.

At this moment, Shen Bao is trying his best every time he advances one meter. He doesn't want to lose, but he finds out in despair that every time he advances one meter, he will fall behind a little.He watched helplessly as he passed by and broke through the finish line, but he fought back with all his strength, but he seemed so helpless.

Shen Bao crossed the finish line, slowed down until he stopped, then looked at the scoreboard and found his own score. The final result of 10.31 seconds is a very satisfactory result in anyone's eyes. This result can be ranked No.2 in the year last year.

Then he looked at No.1, which was Zhang Guan's result.

"10 seconds 28!" Shen Bao gasped, he didn't expect this young man who appeared suddenly to run into the 10.3 seconds mark.This result is enough for Zhang Guan to advance to the ranks of the top domestic players.

……

10.28 seconds is already the best result in the domestic [-]-meter event this year.

On the rostrum, Director Yu suddenly realized something, and then clenched his fists excitedly.

"This ticket can be regarded as a hand-wringer. After waiting for a year, finally an athlete can run to this result..."

Then Director Yu glanced in the direction of the No.1 domestic long-distance runner Chen Jian, and muttered to himself: "You should work hard, otherwise you will be surpassed by this junior, and you may not be able to go to the Olympics next year." !"

At the same time, Mr. Chen and other watching teammates also ran up, and even the coaches of other teams came to express their congratulations, looking beaming.

"What's the matter? They're all here? What's the big battle?" Zhang Guan was taken aback by the battle.

Mr. Chen grabbed Zhang Guan first, and said, "Zhang Guan, good job! It can be regarded as winning this admission ticket for our country."

"Admission ticket? What entry ticket?" Zhang Guan asked strangely.

"Of course you have a ticket to the Olympics!" Mr. Chen continued, "You ran 10 seconds and reached the Olympic B mark!"

Zhang Guan immediately understood.

The Olympic Games is the highest-level sports competition in the world. In order to prevent low-level athletes from participating and affecting the overall competition level, the Olympic Organizing Committee has set up the Olympic standard line.The standard line of track and field events is judged based on the official competition results of the National Olympic Committee and above in the past two years, and there are Olympic A standard and Olympic B standard.

According to the regulations of the Olympic Organizing Committee, in individual track and field events, each Olympic Committee can send up to three athletes who have reached the Olympic A standard to participate in each event; Sign up for the competition; if no one has reached the Olympic A standard but someone has reached the Olympic B standard, then only one B standard player can be sent to participate; if even the Olympic B standard cannot be reached, they will not be allowed to participate in the Olympic competition of this event.

Under this rule, if a country has only one player who reaches the A standard, it is obviously the most disadvantaged situation, because the number of entries is the same as that of a country that only meets the B standard, and only one player participates.It can also be said that if there is only one A standard in the competition quota, it is equivalent to the B standard.

In addition, if athletes who do not meet the standards want to sign up for field events, the IAAF will determine based on the performance level of the athletes and the number of people who have reached the standards in related events.The registered athletes must reach a certain international level and prove their strength by participating in international events recognized by the IAAF.To put it bluntly, it means "going through the back door" to compete.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, in the men's 100-meter track and field event, the Olympic A standard was 10.21 seconds, while the Olympic B standard was 10.28 seconds. 10.28 seconds is also the minimum standard for athletes to participate in the Olympic Games.Until the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, this standard was still referred to. In the 2012 London Olympics, this standard was raised to 10.18 seconds for the A standard and 10.24 seconds for the B standard.

田径男子的短道项目历来都是国家队的弱项，参加奥运会的运动员基本上都是靠着奥运B标的达标线参赛的。明年雅典奥运会田径个人项目的成绩认可时间是从2002年的7月1日起至2004年7月报名时间截止（马拉松、竞走、全能项目除外），只要在这个时间段内的国家级或以上的奥委会级别的比赛中取得的成绩都算数，而国内运动员在2002年7月1日后跑出的最好成绩是10.32秒，也就是说目前国内还没有人达到10.28秒的奥运B标。

Of course, the national team disdains to participate in the "back door", but for more than a year, no player has reached the Olympic B standard.However, Zhang Guan's time of 10.28 seconds today can be regarded as buying a guaranteed entry ticket for the national team.

From this moment on, Zhang Guan's name really entered the domestic track and field circle.
