Chapter 131 China's sprint
After a brief recollection, Feng Yong nodded seriously and shook his head again.
"Yes! It seems that there has never been a regression, and the state is really stable. It seems to be a lineage. Even the previous Chen Huan had such a short time, alas..."
Feng Yong paused and brought Chen Huan's topic. When he thought of the decision made by the team, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong. It's a good thing, Kobayashi didn't create much estrangement with the team because of such a thing. Otherwise, it would be really bad!
After a few seconds of slowing down, Feng Yong continued: "It is said that our athletes should go out and stay in China is not enough, especially male athletes. Only by realizing the gap with the world's top level and trying to participate in more competitions as much as possible can this mentality be developed. But here, I feel as if I have been subtly cultivating their hearts since they started.
In that situation, it was a small setback for him, but since then, he has grown very fast. He has brought Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao now, and his thinking has become clearer. Both of them have been trained!"
He knew the resume of the national team athletes. Everyone's talent is undoubtedly good. From childhood to adulthood, they have selected and trained one by one. At the national team, there are only those who miss the net, but it is impossible for them to be just a substitute.
But in this World Championships, those talented athletes finally achieved few results for various reasons. Technical level is one aspect, but mentality issues also account for a large part. Mentality is really important!
Luo Yi was also thinking. Among the events that the track and field team participated in this World Championships, the Field Management Center has focused on several events from the beginning on the men's 110-meter hurdles, the women's 10,000 meters, and the men's and women's 20-kilometer 50-kilometer race walks. These are what Field Manager and himself value the most, and are also an important part of the future Olympic strategy. They can compete for gold and silver for the track and field team to win medals.
For the sprint team, although he doesn't know their level in detail, he thinks he has a basic understanding of his heart, just to train the team to show style in future competitions. Specifically, the two athletes who won the A-target are not old and at what level they are, he probably knows it, but he can't stand such progress. It's too fast, too stable, and even caught off guard.
But I believe no one would think that they will always make progress in China. In a few months, they can still make progress while playing in the current World Championships.
After he entered the field management center, he saw many athletes who were once invincible in China and were once highly expected. He was even more disappointing.
The athlete's competitive state is affected by all aspects of the personal mentality of the venue environment. It often breaks out once, but it may be basically the only time in a lifetime. The high-level phenomenon that suddenly appears can only be said to have this strength, but it still takes a lot of time and energy to consolidate or make a breakthrough.
He once thought this was common sense, but when he got here, it seemed to be completely subverted. It turned out that he could be so stable. As long as his strength level reached, he could achieve his level.
Zhao Lin, who was in the 100-meter race, flew all the way. Yang Zuyao, who also participated in the 100-meter race, had some problems. After a series of progress, he seemed to have experienced some psychological experiences, his grades fluctuated, and he eventually failed. But after this experience, he then walked out. The 200-meter race now is like Zhao Lin before!
As the leader of the Field Management Center, in Luo Yi's opinion, the athletes' achievements at the World Championships are very happy. But he pays more attention to the competitive state they show. These athletes are still physically young and far from reaching the peak of human body competition. They still have certain growth potential. If there is no accidental injury and such a mentality, it will be too precious for the national track and field Olympic strategy!
Luo Yi is not good at training, so he can't see how much their level can reach. But he can say that he has seen countless people, and he can see the momentum of those athletes.
A good athlete needs such momentum, or temperament. No matter who he faces, he can have the aura of drawing his sword and showing his own level, or even exceeding his level.
"Kobayashi is going to pick up the athletes, are you coming back soon?!" Luo Yi looked at his watch casually and said with a smile: "I remember that Xiao Zhao ran a whole hundred meters before, but Xiao Lin didn't seem to have taken it in one time. Even if he won the championship in the end, Xiao Zhao ran back by himself. Xiao Lin seemed to attach great importance to Yang Zuyao!"
"Director, Xiaolin has really grown too much!" Feng Yong smiled with emotion, "He is doing what he said that day. According to what he said, Xiaoyang ran away from the loss in the semi-finals, so now Xiaolin should be helping him consolidate!
When he first came to the team, Xiaolin brought two people, one named Shen Huan and the other was Zhao Lin. Shen Huan was a little dissatisfied. Since then, he has been growing silently, and his speed is really fast! The national team needs more such coaches..."
Speaking of this, Feng Yong looked at Luo Yi with some clues. His eyes were very confusing.
Luo Yi understood Feng Yong's meaning, and he was sure to think about it. He had this meaning before. Now with such a series of results, the meaning is stronger than before!
"After the World Championships are over, the preparations for the Athens Olympics will officially begin. At the same time, our preparation plans for the next World Championships and the Olympics in front of our own homes will also be put on the agenda! Track and field is the most important major event in the Olympics. The strategic plan for the Athens Olympics we prepared before is due to the current situation! Haha!"
Luo Yi smiled and said, when it comes to changing the established strategy, he smiled even brighter unconsciously. "Sprinting is the most popular event in track and field events, and it is the pearl in the crown. Not to mention that it can compete for gold and silver, but at the world's largest sports ceremony, we must also compete at our own level and show the style of our great power. Some things will be considered seriously by the Center and I!"
Nodding at Feng Yong, Luo Yi said seriously.
While the few people were talking, the three group competitions of the men's 200m semifinals had all ended. No accidents occurred. They had seen the list of players, and the players from all over the country who could name them basically entered the finals. The results were neither good nor bad, but overall, their condition was not too ideal. After the entire semifinals, there were no one who ran into 20 seconds. Even the only American players Capel and Yang Zuyao were within 20 seconds.
Old people are old and depressed. If we follow the previous situation of Chinese athletes, whether their condition is good or not has much to do with China. But now it is different.
"Let's go back and let everyone have a good rest!" Luo Yi waved his hand, feeling quite energetic, "We have a highlight tomorrow. The 200m final and the 110m hurdle semi-final. We all have hope!"
The leader spoke out, and Yu Weili followed him to the stands to greet other coaches and athletes a little further away. The group came in a huge and expectant manner. After a day of competition, they were full of gains. Especially for the sprint event, the harvest was even more surprising. The final result depends on tomorrow, but they are looking forward to it now!
...
Yanjing time at 2 a.m.
In a residential building in a residential building in Yangcheng, eastern Guangdong Province, the lights in the room suddenly lit up.
There was a sound of dressing. Then the light went out again!
Yuan Guohua put on a coat, walked from the room to the living room, turned on the lights in the living room, turned on the TV with his hands and feet, held the remote control, and slowly retreated back to the sofa and sat down.
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome everyone to watch the third round semi-finals of the 9th World Track and Field Championships for the men's 110m hurdles that were broadcast live for you. I am the live commentator Yang Jian. The 110m hurdles semi-finals, and Chinese athletes Liu Xiang and Shi Dong will be in...
After the men's 110-meter hurdle semi-finals, we will bring you the men's 200-meter finals, with Chinese athlete Yang Zuyao participating. This is the first time in history that a Chinese athlete has entered the 200-meter final. Please pay attention to it at that time..."
As soon as I turned on the TV, the screen had not yet fully come out, and the familiar voice of the host of CCTV Set 5 had already been heard.
Yuan Guohua turned the volume as low as possible. After staying up late to watch the game for many days, his wife complained. He didn't want to wake up his wife and complained again.
"Old Yuan! You..." But his wife woke up, put on a piece of clothing from the room and walked into the living room in a daze, sat next to Yuan Guohua on the sofa, and saw the scene on the TV, complaining came, "Look again? The team has sent you to take care of children. Are you still watching other people's people? Or is it the one Lin Mu led?"
Gently grasping his wife's hand, Yuan Guohua tried his best to look at his wife with a flattering expression, and said softly: "Just look at it once today... Oh... I will also look at it tomorrow, and the last two times are not..."
"You said you..." The wife was helpless. She had heard this several times. She knew that as long as the World Championships were not over, it would be useless to say a lot. "Since you care, then you can explain it to the leader! At the beginning..."
Yuan Guohua gently patted his wife's hand, interrupted her, and slowly shook her head.
He knew what his wife was going to say was what caused him to be deported. He told his wife about the specific situation. That time it was not that he signaled Chen Tong to let him do the move, but Chen Tong mentioned it to him. He did not object to it at the moment. As a result, Chen Tong later told the team about the process, and he became a conspiracy. For Chen Tong, he even agreed to his vague leadership identity.
In fact, he could explain, but he finally chose to make a default, but he didn't explain. He felt that his heart was unstable. Since he took the position of head coach of the relay team, he became restless and abandoned his original intention. The team punished him and chose to make a default. He had to settle down well. He was only in his 40s and still had time.
As an old coach who has been retiring from an athlete, he does not only regard the coach's identity as a job. What's more, in the youth team, he feels that he can also make his own contributions. For example, the children he has discovered now, especially the little Su he met last time.
"I won't mention the matter at the beginning, I have my questions." Yuan Guohua replied in a low voice, looking at his wife apologetically. He knew that his wife had been worried about him because of this matter. At that time, he was a little gloomy, not for the punishment result, but because he lost a lot of things he had before in a few years. He had a lot of reflection. Therefore, his emotions didn't look very good, and his wife was always worried about him. It was not until he met those good seedlings that he really came out.
Then the World Championships begin, watch the game, occasionally chat with my wife, and that Kobayashi...
On the night of the 100-meter semifinals and finals, he shouted and shouted at the TV in the living room, crying and laughing. He woke his wife up from her sleep and was startled. Later, after learning about the situation, his wife also chatted with him until dawn. He talked a lot, saying that he used to talk about the sprint in China, about himself, about competitions, about training, and about the young coach who triggered his resignation.
Yuan Guohua leaned slowly on the sofa, looked at the TV screen, and said with some emotion: "I thought it a little bit wrong at the beginning, but later I figured it out. After watching the performance of the two athletes in the 100-meter and 200-meter games of the World Championships, I understand even more..."
"Okay, let alone this, Lin Mu is indeed worthy of attention from the team. There are many places worth learning from, so I will study now!" Yuan Guohua put away his thoughts and smiled at his wife, hugging his wife's shoulder: "This 110-meter hurdle will end, and the 200-meter final will be at 3 o'clock soon. Since you wake up, you can watch it with me. You know, this is really not easy. Just like the previous 100-meter race, it is very difficult..."
The wife patted him gently, shook her head helplessly, and nodded gently. In fact, she had already planned to watch it with her when she got up. If the husband’s work changes had no effect on him, how could it be possible? As a wife, how could she be indifferent when her husband was in a low position? She had to walk out with her husband in her own way!
...
At 19:30 Paris time, at 2:30 am Yanjing time, the men's 110-meter hurdles began.
In front of domestic TVs, many people who stayed up late or went to bed early to set the alarm clock also sat in front of the TV with their eyes wide open.
Tonight's schedule has been previewed, the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals and the men's 200-meter finals, two games, and the breakthrough results of Chinese track and field track and field in sprint events are a grand event for domestic track and field enthusiasts!
In the past, when people watched track and field competitions, only Chinese athletes could see events such as women's long-distance running and race walking. However, at this World Championships, the explosive surprise of 100 meters has not completely faded. Now, there are surprises in men's 200 meters and short-span events, which is a wonderful feeling.
"...The first group of the men's 110-meter hurdles has already appeared. In this group, Chinese player Shi Dong ranked fifth. He ranked fourth in the preliminaries, and the way schedule is still very good. In addition, Liu Xiang will also play in the semi-finals of the next group..."
As the live commentary sounded, the contestants in front of the camera appeared in everyone's eyes. It was easy to recognize that Shi Dong, who was wearing red sportswear among a group of foreigners, was extremely obvious.
The gunshots of the game rang out quickly and the 10-second time ended quickly. In the semi-finals of the first group, Shi Dong finally ranked third with a time of 13.42 seconds. According to the promotion rules, the three groups of the men's 110-meter hurdles, the top two players directly advanced to the finals, with a total of six people. Then they were arranged according to the results and the two with the best results in the semi-finals were replaced.
Shi Dong is the third in the group, and his grade is neither good nor bad. He can only wait until the semi-finals of the three groups are over before he knows whether there is a chance. This also made the audience in front of the TV feel nervous when they see this.
Those who were more nervous than them were undoubtedly the Chinese delegation. Liu Xiang and Shi Dong's coach Sun Ping were even more nervous. Shi Dong ran too tightly, although he could have run to his good level. However, the things he emphasized to Shi Dong failed to achieve results. If he couldn't make breakthroughs and progress, he would fail!
Fortunately, in the semi-finals of the men's 110-meter hurdles, Liu Xiang performed stably. In the end, he was slightly relieved and won the second place in the group with a time of 13.40 seconds and successfully entered the final.
Soon the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals in the third group began. In this group, Alan Johnson, the American star, did not disappoint people in the final results. Alan Johnson's score was 13 seconds 23. The next two and 3rd place results were also very good, 13 seconds 39 and 13 seconds 41 respectively.
Shi Dong's score was 13.42 seconds. Fortunately, he defeated the rest of the opponents by one percent second and won the final qualification of the men's 110-meter hurdles.
Amid the cheers of countless TV sets and the audience, the man's 110-meter hurdle came to an end. The two of China entered the finals, and it was another breakthrough. There were constant surprises, China's sprint...
And soon, the game they are looking forward to will be staged...
Chapter completed!
