Rapid temperature changes, opportunities for senior citizens in the field of experience?

Looking at the 38th race, the last round in September, when temperatures began to fall in earnest, we could feel a clear difference from August in terms of records. In August, when the heat wave was in full swing, it was common for athletes to run 200m in the 11th second range in the 38th Gwangmyeong Selection Race, but there were only three races in which the 200m record was in the 11th range out of a total of 15 races in three days.
Even in the excellent class, the record of early and mid-11 seconds came out in August, but in the 38th race, there were many in the mid-to-late 11 seconds. As can be seen from the record, the temperature is falling and the average speed of the players is slowing down slightly.
Experts say that in October, athletes' 200m frequency records are 0.1 to 0.3 seconds slower on average than in summer, especially in selection and excellent races. Therefore, it is said that a strategy is needed to find and target an advantageous type of player while the speed is generally decreasing.

On the contrary, the overall speed of players is an opportunity for players who have been sluggish at high speeds. This is why attention should be paid to the recent performance of senior-level marks and additions such as Lee Soo-won (12th, A2, Suseong), Park Il-ho (10th, A2, Gumi), and Choi Soon-young (13th, A2, Incheon individual).
First of all, as autumn begins, the most prominent player is Lee Soo-won of the Suseong team. Lee, who won only one title in August, surprised everyone by winning three consecutive titles entering September. In particular, one of them succeeded in winning the championship through a receding match. Experts said Lee Soo-won is showing as much skill as he has in his recent heyday, and he is expected to play well in October.
On top of that, Choi Soon-young, who is a freestyle type who shows all tactics depending on the situation, is also one of the outstanding players.
Choi Soon-young, who had been sluggish after the unfortunate fall injury, also began to perform well in earnest in September. In some cases, the amount of training was increased by recovering from injury, but it is analyzed that the slower speed of players on average also contributed. Choi Soon-young, who finished second only once in August, won twice and finished second once entering September. In particular, he won consecutive championships at the end of September, when temperatures began to drop sharply, and is rapidly emerging as an excellent ambush.

Park Il-ho, who participated in the 35th Busan event, finished third on the first day and second on the last day, producing the best performance after the class. In terms of movement, it showed a clear difference from August and started fresh with a victory in the first race in October, amplifying expectations for the rest of the year.
Among the starting players, there are players who have begun to rise in earnest since September. A typical example is Park Gwang-je (12th, B2, Changwon Uichang), which has been on a steep rise since September. Park Kwang-je, who won only one prize in August, won two championships and one runner-up in September. In particular, in the 38th round of Gwangmyeong, the last round in September, he showed his extraordinary ability to beat the strong in a row.
In addition, starting players Yoo Sang-yong (11th, B2, Ilsan), Kim Kyung-rok (10th, B1, Busan), Lee Jong-pil (11th, B2, Incheon), Lim Geun-tae (9th, B2, Busan), excellent Joo Hyo-jin (5th, A1, Changwon A), Park Sang-hoon (15th, A2, Jeonju), Jang Tae-chan (11th, A2, Daejeon), Lee Jae-young (19th, A1, Cheongpyeong), and Lee Yong-hee (13th, A2, East Seoul) have also been prominent since September compared to August, so it is worth paying attention to these players.
"When analyzing the races of Lee Soo-won, Park Il-ho, and Choi Soon-young, they showed a rather sluggish performance in the fast speed of the existing athletes in the summer, but the movement became noticeable as they entered September," said Seol Kyung-seok, editor-in-chief of the Choi Kyung-ryun in Jeon Sang-ji. "We expect athletes with excellent race management skills to perform well in October."
