Chapter 105 The World Championship is here
In front of the airport,
Lin Mu smiled and patted Zhao Lin. He obviously knew that this kid was a little nervous.
He didn't answer, although he had never been here, and he didn't know much about the climate and current situation in Paris. But he had checked a little. The precipitation and temperature in Paris are relatively stable throughout the year. There are very few sudden changes in the weather, and judging from the current situation, it is obvious that such bad weather is unlikely to occur.
Lin Mu didn't say anything, but Yu Weili couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Zhao, what are you worried about? It's 7 hours earlier than Yanjing, and of course it's still during the day. As for the rain, it's raining in Paris, and it's quite a lot in summer and autumn. But there hasn't been recently. We don't understand what time we go out for competitions first and then prepare!
Finally, there are these houses. A country will have its own architectural style. You run and the tracks are 400 meters in a circular shape. What's the matter with these buildings? Have a care!? Prepare your competition well!"
Zhao Lin touched his head embarrassedly and laughed. Many people couldn't help laughing a few times.
In fact, there are many newcomers in this industry who have been out of the airport for the first time. They just left the airport, had a strange environment and a different climate from the country. They also had some concerns in all aspects, but they did not tell them, so Zhao Lin was more abrupt and said it first.
A small episode, a line of talks and laughs. It was rare to dispel some of the nervousness before the competition.
After leaving the airport, boarded the bus that had been waiting for a long time, and rushed to the athletes' base. From a moment on, they were about to officially enter the rhythm of the competition!
...
Stadium of Saint-Danny, France, Paris, France on August 23.
As the main stadium of this track and field championship, a large number of Parisians gathered in the French Stadium early on.
The Stadium of France is the tenth largest stadium in the world and is extremely famous internationally. The World Cup, European Cup, European Champions League and other football leagues have staged many thrilling games in this stadium.
Since 1999, the Stadium of France has been a stop for the IAAF Golden League, and it seems that the track and field button has been turned on since then. Since then, it has also often attracted a large number of track and field fans to watch the competition. However, today, although there are many people, the atmosphere is not very warm.
Because today is the first day, the competition before the opening ceremony was just a group AB competition for some field events. As for the men's 20-kilometer race walk, because of its long distance and the main venue of the competition is not here. It is obviously difficult to make the audience on the scene feel enthusiastic, and everyone's mood is obviously not high at this time.
The Chinese Track and Field Team came just after noon today. In addition to attending the opening ceremony, Luo Yi, Feng Yong and Yu Weili should pay more attention to the next game today.
Previously, the man who had finished 20 kilometers of races had already lost, and the results were very bad, and the process was even worse! At this time, their mood was still relatively heavy.
In the first day of the game, they didn't want to open the door. So they became more optimistic about the first event that the Chinese team had hope of winning cards after the opening ceremony today.
At 17:30 p.m. local time, the opening ceremony was followed by the women's 100m preliminaries and the women's heptathlon 800m preliminaries. These athletes who are not qualified to participate in the competition in China.
But at 19:15, the women's 10,000-meter competition will be held at 19:15, with Sun Yingjie and Xing Na participating in the competition. Obviously, this is the focus today, and even in the eyes of most people in the team, it is also the focus of this World Championship!
Lin Mu also brought Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao with him. The young man had a very fast jet lag and his physical condition was good in all aspects. Obviously, he didn't need to squat in the station and rest as the leaders said.
Lin Mu did not interrupt the defeat and a series of reflections they discussed about. Moreover, he knew that this was just the beginning. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's women's race will be even worse! He didn't like the race in his previous life, probably it started from this time!
The athlete's own strength and awareness, coupled with the gradually outdated technology and various external factors, made the once glorious race walking event completely fall into the valley.
Lin Mu saw it, but he didn't participate in anything. This was a conscious problem. He was a sprint coach and didn't want to leave the impression of pointing fingers on others. Moreover, he knew that if he didn't experience some pain, it would be useless for anyone to speak. Instead, he could only make people bored!
Compared to these, Lin Mu was obviously more concerned about Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao's adaptation to the venue. Tomorrow will be the 100-meter preliminary and rematch. I came here so early to allow the two athletes to adapt to the atmosphere on the scene and get familiar with the venue.
The first time I went abroad to compete, the unfamiliar venue, and the expected number of spectators is not comparable to the competitions like China before!
As time slowly passed, Lin Mu gradually discovered that there were five-star red flags appearing at some locations on the field, including Lin Mu. When he saw the bright red flag fluttering, he couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart at that moment!
The French Stadium, where more than 30,000 people exist, was more disturbing than before. Despite this, Lin Mu could still vaguely hear one sound after another.
"Come on Huaxia!"
"Coach..." Zhao Lin's voice trembled a little, obviously his mood was also a little excited. He just shouted out a coach, and I don't know how to say what happened later!
After following Lin Mu on the track, Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao obviously saw those figures and heard those sounds.
The kind of support and shouting from the bottom of my heart may have been seen frequently in the past or on TV. At that time, some people might even not understand it!
But when they were truly abroad, in this strange stadium, they heard the familiar Chinese and the figures waving red flags. Including Lin Mu, they never felt so strongly!
The country, nation, honor, belief, and all emotions may burst out in a roar!
"Coach..." Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao called softly almost at the same time.
After trying hard to calm down, Lin Mu smiled softly!
He raised his head, looked around the stands, and finally headed towards the red floating place. From a distance, it was obvious that the face of the human being was difficult to see clearly under the banner. But Lin Mu knew that this was not important!
Because, including them, at this moment, regardless of age, appearance, personality, or identity, they only have a common name - Huaxia!
Raising his hand, waving at the other side, from afar, Yang Zuyao and Zhao Lin also waved their hands together!
In an instant, perhaps because of the response, a louder wave of sounds in the stands aroused.
"Huaxia! Come on!"
"Huaxia! Will win!"
Just as I felt the throbbing of my heart, I suddenly had my shoulders patted.
"Kobayashi, do you feel it?"
Yu Weili's voice came into Lin Mu's ears, with a slight tremor in his calmness!
Looking back, Yu Weili was behind him, his eyes also looking at the place. Despite trying hard to keep his face, Lin Mu could still find that little strange thing.
"Do you know? I have been working in sports for so many years, starting from an athlete, until now I lead the team out for competitions! But every time I hear and see these, I still feel uneasy!"
Yu Weili smiled softly. His glossy head and round face were obviously not good-looking. But Lin Mu could feel the sincerity distributed from the heart!
"Guide Yu, as long as we sports people have something in our hearts, we may not be calm in our lives!" Lin Mu said with a smile: "If one day you see these things, it will be sad! Haha!"
He patted Lin Mu's shoulder hard again, then patted Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao beside him, without saying anything more.
At this moment, Yu Weili felt that those so-called mobilization and motivation were not as good as pulling people to walk around such occasions. There was no effect that would be stronger than such encouragement!
Lin Mu smiled and patted Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, "Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhao. Tomorrow is like! It's not for yourself, for me, nor for our track and field team, just to make these people who shout at the top of their voices shout out loud, Huaxia, come on!"
The two nodded fiercely. Never for a moment, they were so looking forward to the arrival of the game!
...
From the coldness to the noisy, to the end of the song, and the silence of the French Stadium ushered in a new day.
At 10:00 am on August 24, Paris time, the second match day of the World Championships.
Stadium de France.
The atmosphere at the rest area where the leaders and coaches of the Chinese track and field team are located is very depressing at this time.
After the men's race lost yesterday, the man lost the shot put, and Huaxia was not qualified to participate in other competitions. Fortunately, Sun Yingjie, a woman from 10,000 meters, ran third, and a bronze medal made the entire delegation breathe a little, avoiding the tragedy of opening the door!
but……
Today, the women's 20-kilometer race walk, which just ended more than an hour ago, once again pulled the slightly eased atmosphere into the bottom.
Many insiders believe that racing walking is the only event among all the events in China's track and field that has the hope of winning gold medals in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. However, at this Paris World Track and Field Championships, the best results for men and women's 20km race walking events two days ago were only 13th in the women's events.
The results were not ideal, but what is even more worrying is that in these two events, the contestants were sentenced to fouls many times, and the woman raced three contestants in 20 kilometers, and even two were sent off. The only surviving contestant in the future seemed to be bound, and in the end, he only barely completed the entire process. How can the results be good?
Such a painful defeat was enough to give enough reflection to the leaders and project coaches of the track and field team. There are many reasons. After analyzing and analyzing, Lin Mu generally agreed. But it doesn’t take a long time to change!
After the veterans of the race walk have retired one after another, the rookies have not yet matured. These new players have not participated in many international competitions, and they are all new faces in the eyes of international referees, so they are particularly careful and picky about their technical movements. This is one of them.
The fouls in the race walk are mainly vacant, but what about these players in China?
The technology is outdated, outdated, small pelvic movements and high-frequency quick steps, which can easily leave the referees with the impression of being empty. If you are an old man, famous player, and international referees may be a little tolerant. But now these Chinese athletes are obviously not.
This sounds like a human relationship problem, but Lin Mu only looks for problems on himself, because it is actually a technical problem. In Lin Mu's opinion, the biggest culprit is that the coaches did not correct the athletes' foul movements strictly during training.
Moreover, in domestic competitions, the referee's penalty standards were relatively loose, which made these novices get used to this rhythm. As a result, they suffered a lot in the world competition.
It was time for a revolution, and Lin Mu silently gave the attribution in his heart.
The depressing atmosphere made people feel uncomfortable. I was afraid that it would affect the emotions of Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, so Lin Mu drove them to warm up early!
The total time of this World Championship is 9 days. From August 23 to August 31, Lin Mu only cares about the men's 100-meter and 200-meter competition.
On August 24, the first round of men's 100m preliminaries will start at 10:30 am, and the second round of rematch will be held at 18:00.
On August 25, the semi-finals will be held at 18:00 and the finals will be held at 21:00.
The schedule is relatively easy. In addition to the short difference between the semi-finals and the finals, the three-hour impact is not unacceptable for Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, who are not under pressure from the part-time.
Yang Zuyao's 200m preliminaries will have to wait until the 28th. Although it is a part-time event, it obviously has not had much impact after a few days.
As for whether to enter the finals, Lin Mu doesn't want to consider this issue now. Lin Mu has seen the players' schedule and grouping. Green, who has been in poor condition due to injuries, has been affected by off-court events and is also in poor condition.
Except for these two people who often run into 10 seconds, the other players are either old or new, with only a handful of results in 10 seconds, which is really a lot worse. Therefore, Lin Mu still has some ideas!
At 10:30 am, the men's first round of the 100-meter round officially began.
In the men's 100m preliminaries, a total of 63 athletes participated in the competition and were divided into 8 preliminaries, one of which was 7 athletes. The preliminaries were all randomly assigned groups, Yang Zuyao was assigned to the third group of the preliminaries, while Zhao Lin was in the sixth group.
Recording area,
Yang Zuyao was already doing the final adaptation warm-up, a simple activity, and then put on a coat. The first two groups of competitions have ended! He is already waiting for the staff to come and lead people to play the game.
"Remember to wear a coat after the competition and come out directly. If someone interviews a reporter from no matter which company it is, he will say that his language is not understandable, don't pay attention to it!"
This was something Yu Weili was specifically told before the game that Lin Mu was afraid that he would not have any experience in foreign competitions. He came here a few days ago at more than 30 degrees. The temperature here was noon, and the temperature was only over 20 degrees, which was still during the day. If it was evening, it might drop to more than 10 degrees. Obviously, they were all afraid that such temperature changes would cause unnecessary impact on their bodies!
Yang Zuyao and Zhao Lin did not feel any discomfort with the temperature, but they were somewhat alert. They felt hot after warming up, and even more so after the competition. If they were not kept warm after cooling down, they might really catch a cold. They didn't want to leave regrets in this World Championship because of these unexpected factors.
The staff came to take the people. When Yang Zuyaozu walked out of the corridor, he was shocked by the warm applause and cheers. He raised his head and looked around. He noticed that there were already many audiences in the audience, and he felt that there were only people crowded, and he could even see some people with exposed bodies reflected in various patterns, blushing faces and shouting loudly.
The Hundred Meters are the most exciting event in track and field competitions at any time, although it is only the preliminaries at this time.
Shouting, roaring, shouting, cheering, one after another, in the Stadium of France, after the two groups of games came down, the atmosphere among the audience became popular!
Chapter completed!
