Chapter 53 A casual run, an easy Olympic B standard
How are the sprint results?
Since his rebirth, he has never actually taken a proper test. The last time he took a 100-meter test was probably back in his high school physical education class.
Since his rebirth, he has not only felt a significant improvement in his memory and learning ability, but also a comprehensive and remarkable enhancement in his physical fitness.
Strength, endurance, flexibility, recovery ability... So, on the 100-meter track where speed and explosiveness are the only priorities, what kind of results can I achieve now?
Which boy doesn't dream of "chasing the wind" in his heart?
Who hasn't dreamed of speeding down the track and enjoying the ultimate thrill of speed?
If one can achieve something in this area, it will not only fulfill one's personal aspirations and bring glory to the country, but also bring unimaginable honors and opportunities, and even enormous wealth.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyuan readily nodded: "Teacher Su, then I'll trouble you to help me with the test."
Seeing Chen Zhiyuan agree, Su Bingying was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He just nodded and said, "Okay, then let's measure a hundred meters first."
"That's the standard 100-meter track over there." He glanced at his watch and said thoughtfully, "You just finished a long run and need to recover. Let's rest for half an hour, and then we'll start again."
Chen Zhiyuan smiled confidently: "It won't take that long. I think ten minutes of rest should be enough."
He has a clear perception of the body's condition; not only is its explosive power strong, but its recovery ability also far surpasses that of ordinary people.
While others might need half an hour to recover from fatigue, he felt that ten minutes was enough to revitalize his muscles.
Upon hearing this, Su Bingying did not insist.
After all, this was just a preliminary, informal test, and he did not have unrealistic expectations, such as that it would produce an astonishing result.
He mainly wanted to see what Chen Zhiyuan's "original talent" in sprinting was, whether he was a rough gem worth polishing, and whether he could be recruited into the school's track and field team for professional training, so that he could represent the school in the University Games or even higher-level competitions in the future.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Chen Zhiyuan moved his hands and feet and felt that the slight soreness and fatigue in his body had basically disappeared, replaced by a sense of lightness and strength ready to be unleashed.
"Teacher Su, I think we can start now." He walked to the starting line of the 100-meter race and focused his gaze.
Su Bingying nodded and took out a professional mechanical stopwatch from his pocket.
"Okay, let's give it a try. Get ready and listen to my commands." He stood to one side of the track, his sharp eyes fixed on the starting line.
Chen Zhiyuan leaned slightly forward behind the starting line, adopting a starting posture that, while not standard, showed complete concentration.
He had not undergone any professional starting training, and his posture was entirely based on feeling, but in Su Bingying's eyes, that instantaneous concentration was not to be underestimated.
"Ready—Go!"
The instant the word "run" was uttered, Su Bingying pressed the stopwatch start button almost simultaneously.
At that very moment, he let out a soft "hmm" in his mind.
What a fast reaction time!
It starts moving almost instantly upon hearing the command; its reaction speed is close to that of an athlete who has received basic training.
However, his starting posture was indeed very amateurish, with problems in his center of gravity, angle, and power generation.
On the track, the moment Chen Zhiyuan heard the word "run," his leg muscles suddenly exerted force, and his whole body was like a tightly compressed spring suddenly released, powerfully pushing off the ground and sprinting towards the finish line 100 meters away!
He also wanted to see just how fast he could run when he unleashed his full power.
How many changes have these past month of morning runs and subtle physical strengthening brought about?
Su Bingying's gaze was fixed on the speeding figure, and surprise was rapidly building in her heart.
Although Chen Zhiyuan's running form is still amateurish, his arm swing is not standardized, and the coordination between his stride frequency and stride length is far from optimized, his speed is really fast!
It's faster than expected!
This sprint speed looks even faster than those athletic students on the school's track and field team who train professionally every day!
As Chen Zhiyuan's figure slammed into the finish line of the 100-meter race with a gust of wind, Su Bingying pressed the stop button on the stopwatch.
He looked down at the watch face.
10.06 seconds! ! !
Su Bingying was frozen in place, stunned for two or three seconds, her eyes fixed on the number, almost unable to believe it.
Immediately, a tremendous, irrepressible excitement surged through his body like an electric current, causing his hand holding the stopwatch to tremble slightly.
I just came to the playground for some exercise as usual today, and I unexpectedly stumbled upon such a "treasure"!
10.06 seconds (hand-counted)! What does that even mean!
This is a time that meets the Olympic B standard in the men's 100 meters (after conversion from manual timing)!
As a professional, Su Bingying's mind works at lightning speed: hand-timed timing is usually about 0.24 seconds faster than fully automatic electronic timing.
A handwritten time of 10.06 seconds translates to approximately 10.30 seconds when converted to electronic timing!
The Olympic Games and all IAAF-certified events (including A and B standards) only recognize results obtained through "fully automatic electronic timing".
10.30 seconds, that's a solid achievement of the Olympic B standard for the men's 100 meters!
Although this is just a handwritten result obtained without a rigorous procedure and in an informal setting, the possibilities it represents are enough to excite any track and field coach.
Su Bingying suppressed her wildly beating heart, her face beaming with barely concealed excitement and eagerness. She ran up to Chen Zhiyuan, who had just stopped and was slightly out of breath, her voice trembling with excitement:
"Chen! Do you know how fast you ran? 10.06 seconds! My journal shows 10.06 seconds!"
He waved his stopwatch vigorously, as if to confirm this wasn't a hallucination. "Do you know what this result means? It means that, converted to electronic timing, you've achieved the Olympic B standard for the men's 100 meters!"
Fearing that Chen Zhiyuan might not understand these technical terms, he quickly and concisely explained the meaning of the Olympic A and B standards, as well as the difference between manual and electronic timing.
Then, he took a deep breath and solemnly proposed, "The test just now was too rushed, and I didn't prepare an electronic timing device."
"Alright, this afternoon we'll do another formal test using professional electronic timing equipment. How about that? This is very important!"
Chen Zhiyuan was also feeling a surge of emotions at this moment.
He never expected that he could run under 10.30 seconds in a casual run!
This barrier, which countless professional athletes struggle to overcome even after a lifetime of arduous training, was touched by me by such a chance encounter.
Surprised and excited, he quickly calmed down and nodded, saying, "I'm fine, I have time this afternoon."
