Follow Hui Run to help you get as light as feathers, run without injury
is in full swing in World Track and Field Championships . We are paying attention to the performance of China's top track and field athletes from various provinces who have been dormant for more than half a year due to the epidemic, and also participated in the first large-scale track and field event of this year in the hot Huanggang, Hubei Province from July 13 to 16, the 2022 National Track and Field Grand Prix (first stop). The competition is basically calm.
Only in the past two days did people be surprised to find that many athletes in the top, second and third place were deprived of their rankings, which was confusing. We take the announced results to see the final ranking of medium and long-distance running .
men's 10,000m champion athlete is actually ranked fourth
woman's 10,000m champion athlete is ranked first but runner-up athlete is ranked fourth
men's 5,000m championship runner-up ranking normal
men's 5,000m championship runner-up ranking normal
l0 Women's 5000m champion, runner-up and third place rankings are normal
men's 1500m champion athlete is actually ranked fourth
Women's 1500m champion athlete is actually ranked fourth
Why does this puzzled situation occur? Shouldn't the first, second and third place athlete be ranked first, second and third?
This is one of the reform measures for the new cycle track and field competition methods of the China Athletics Association .
This measure has reformed the rankings and competition methods of each event. For example, in the preliminary and rematches, the participating athletes must run 120 meters, 220 meters and 420 meters respectively, so you will see that the results queried through the competition management system system of the male athlete are actually 120 meters, such as the 120 meters score of a certain athlete is 12.37 seconds.
Why do we need to set up the competition method like this?
is likely to hope to extend the distance and improve athletes' ability to maintain speed in the back range. Compared with international outstanding athletes, my country's sprinters often have little gap in the first half of the 50 meters, and the gap is mainly in the second half. Through this competition method, athletes and coaches pay attention to the training of maintaining speed in the back range.
00m preliminaries and rematches are 120m
For 5000m, athletes are required to not slower than 13 minutes/14 minutes and 40 seconds in the last two laps left. For 10000m, athletes are required to not slower than 28 minutes/20 seconds/32 minutes and 10 seconds in the last two laps left.
If the timing shows that the athlete's score is slower than the above requirements when the two laps left in the above two events, the final first, second and third place won will not be recognized. Now everyone should understand why the athlete clearly won the championship, but the final result became fourth. This is the reason. The goal of reform measures such as
is very clear, changing the long-distance runners in my country's field are generally conservative in tactics and slow in the competition. Everyone has the mentality of starting a sprint in the last two laps to compete for the results. But in fact, no matter who wins the championship in the end, the final results will not be too ideal because the front is too slow, and the long-term results of my country's medium and long-distance events are hovering without obvious progress. There is a big gap between the expectations of Tian Xie and Volkswagen. The special nature of the medium- and long-distance running event makes the leading athletes consume more physical strength. The athletes in the middle and high-end team not only have less wind resistance, but also follow them to save physical strength. In the final sprint stage, waiting for an opportunity to attack, which often has the best results. If everyone thinks this way, it will undoubtedly lead to dullness in the competition, such as:
, conservative tactics.Almost everyone does not want to lead the way. Everyone is hiding in the team and waiting for an opportunity to win with one blow. That is, everyone adopts the most stable tactics, and there are very few athletes who use more radical and more ornamental tactics;
. Everyone's goal seems to be to get a good ranking utilitarian. As for whether the results can be made, no one cares about it, or even no one dares to try, this is the main reason for the mediocre results of the competition;
. Except for the first one or two of the first laps and two of them at the beginning and the final sprint, the pace is slow most of the time, and the speed in the middle of the game is almost the same as the pace of the athletes during training. I can't see This is in the competition;
. The mid- and long-distance running competition is extremely dull, without passion, lack of stimulation, and it seems that everyone has tried their best, but it does not show the pursuit of higher, faster and stronger spiritual strength in competitive sports and the unique drama and unpredictability of sports;
In order to change this situation of mid- and long-distance running competition, the Athletic Association has introduced iron-fisted reform measures. By putting certain requirements on athletes' future performance and directly linking it to the ranking, it is expected to stimulate the training vitality and competitive spirit of coaches and athletes, thereby promoting the effective improvement of mid- and long-distance running competitive strength.
It should be said that this original intention is good, but how can we improve the strength of medium and long-term running and competitive really test the management. Is it a systematic and long-term construction such as strengthening reserve forces, paying attention to scientific and technological training, or using some special reform measures to expect immediate results?
Therefore, once the specific implementation results are presented, some voices naturally expressed opposition, such as thinking that this is a sudden whim, breaking the international competition rules, it is natural for athletes to formulate reasonable personal participation strategies within the scope of the rules to allow, athletes worked hard to win the championship but could not get the corresponding ranking or even affected their income (the ranking is directly linked to the competition prize). This is unfair to athletes, and weather factors cannot be ruled out (the weather in this Huanggang competition is very hot and humid), etc.
This National Athletics Grand Prix is a competition in which the reform measures were implemented for the first time in the new cycle after the end of the National Games . The ultimate goal of The reform is of course to enhance my country's track and field competitive strength, but how to reform is the best solution?
Is it necessary to overcorrect the correction, or is it a result of this that the transformation from concept to method of track and field training, is it necessary to take extraordinary measures to let coaches and athletes learn from their mistakes, or is it against common sense to make the reform move too much?
