Helong Stadium

The seventh group of the men's 100-meter preliminaries ended with warm cheers.

After the players left one after another, the atmosphere at the scene did not cool down at all, but was more enthusiastic than before. Noisy shouts came from the stands, one area after another, until the sound became more and more unified.

"Zhao Lin! Flying man!"

"Zhao Lin! Flying man!"

“…”

The sound of the utensils hitting the objects together with applause and called out with rhythm. In the corridor of the stadium, the last group of eight contestants finally came out.

When the fifth athlete wearing the word "Tanzhou" who walked out of the corridor entered the stadium, countless flashes in the stands suddenly disappeared like stars flashing, and a louder sound than before suddenly broke out, and the entire stadium seemed to be shaken by vibration!

At the same time, the cameras that were wandering around were locked on the eight athletes who were on the field at the same time. CCTV 5, which broadcast the entire 100-meter preliminaries, locked the camera on an athlete for the first time, and followed the athlete onto the track. The voices of Yang Jian and Han Qiao, two live commentators in charge of the live broadcast of the Urban Games Track and Field Competition, also rose a lot, and the signals were transmitted to thousands of households.

"Dear spectators, the last group competition of the men's 100m preliminaries is being held. The athletes we are following are Zhao Lin, the number one seed of the men's 100m event in this City Games.

In the past few months, the young player born in October 1984 has emerged and achieved brilliant results that have attracted worldwide attention. He broke the national record 6 times in three domestic competitions, two international competitions, and only 15 appearances in the preliminaries in this year, breaking the national record 2 times and setting the Asian record 2 times.

In the World Track and Field Championships held in August this year, in the 100-meter semi-finals, he became the first athlete to break through the 100-meter 10-second mark of the yellow race man with a record of 9.98 seconds, and successfully advanced to the sprint final of the World Championship.

In the final, he won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter event with a second time breaking the Asian record of 9.96 seconds, becoming the first world champion in track and field sprint events in China and even Asia..."

Yang Jian's voice was a little excited. Even though it had been two months and he had experienced another Asian Championship, he was still extremely excited when he remembered the World Championships again.

"Teacher Han, we all know that Asian track and field athletics have always been weak in the World Championships, and Zhao Lin's 100-meter breakthrough has also caused a huge sensation in sprint events. However, foreign professionals and media are still not optimistic about this. They believe that Zhao Lin's breakthrough results are not very competitive, and it is more likely that it will be an occasional explosion or two, which may be more appropriate to call it a miracle.

In your opinion, is this a miracle? Can our athletes still achieve good results in future competitions?" After calming down, Yang Jiancai asked Han Qiao beside him.

"In fact, if it is a miracle, it needs to be verified in the future. But personally, I am sure that a group of new generation athletes represented by Zhao Lin can continue to achieve good results in the World Championships.

This city Games is a test of our country's sports reserve strength, and in many aspects it can reflect the overall situation of our country's athletes in the next few years or even 10 years.

It is not difficult to find out from the athletes who played in the previous 100-meter competition that many athletes have very different technical movements, physical shapes and shapes than our previous sprinters. For example, Liu Dapeng from Liao Province, He Jun from Yucheng, Huang Ling from Dongdong, Chen Huan from the previous group, and of course Zhao Lin who appears now.

Our country started very late in sprinting events, and generations of sports people have always been seeking their own breakthroughs. In the past, our athletes have fully utilized their own flexibility and lightness and achieved some results, but they are still far from the world arena.

Now we are trying new paths, retaining flexibility and agility, strengthening the combination of body and technology. We have also achieved good results at present. This is not only a breakthrough in performance, but also a breakthrough in concept. Perhaps at some point in the future, we will try new paths, but I would rather believe that as long as we persist in our spirit, we will definitely achieve remarkable results."

"Teacher Han is right, seek survival, change, innovation, and persist in seeking self-breakthrough. Not only should we keep up with the pace of the world, but we should also make great strides...

Many viewers may not know much about the body shape that Teacher Han mentioned. Take Zhao Lin and the former Xiangzhou player Chen Huan for example. Compared to a few months ago, their body shape changes are still quite large. It is not that they seem to be stronger and they can run away than before. What we should be more certain is that they still have not stopped and are trying to become stronger..."

"Okay! The contestants have finished the last warm-up adjustment before the race and walked onto the track. The first one is... the second one is... the third one... the fourth one...

On the fifth lane, the world champion Tanzhou player Zhao Lin, his personal best score was 9.96 seconds. He greeted the audience in front of the TV through the camera lens. His movement reminded me of the previous World Championships and Asian Championships. His left hand was pressed on his left chest. If it was the national team's sprint uniform, this is the location of the five-star red flag..."

On the field, when Zhao Lin pointed the camera at him, his expression instantly became serious from relaxation. He pressed his left hand on his front chest and his right hand clenched his fist and raised it high.

...

In the stands, Lin Mu smiled softly when he saw Zhao Lin's movements, remembering what Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao had mentioned to him before.

Before the World Championships, because of his proposal, the Ministry of Commerce of the Center temporarily put aside Zhao Lin's endorsement and some cooperation intentions in sponsorship. Even Yang Zuyao and Liu Xiang, in addition to some existing business cooperation, the cooperation intentions of some merchants were temporarily shelved after coming in, either with unique vision or with a gamble.

The center's move was a relatively bold decision. It can be imagined that there will inevitably be many opposition voices at the beginning of the decision. There is no gambling mentality in it? Lin Mu thought of the Minister Cai who was talking to him at that time, and he couldn't help but take it more seriously.

Of course, the final result is good. At one World Championships, the results of several athletes defeated were extremely outstanding. Then it is time to gain!

But business cooperation is not very smooth, and the World Championships champion is just that. Apart from the Asian scope, its international influence is not as great as imagined. For example, the sports goods giant that has been in contact with the center has not given the conditions given by the center's psychological expectations.

In the situation that Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao told him, the center not only arranged some domestic brand endorsements for them, but also had not yet reached an agreement on the main equipment endorsements. On the one hand, the center continued to negotiate with the other party, and on the other hand, it also allowed athletes to perform on-site and off-field, in addition to competition. In what Lin Mu understood, it was to carefully create a character and show themselves in front of as much public as possible and deepen their commercial value.

The center even mentioned him. After all, he is an athlete and coach with some results, but it is not clear yet. No one has come to him at the moment, and Lin Mu has not taken the initiative to care about it. After reaching a certain level of the concept of money, he really doesn't pay much attention to it now.

Therefore, Lin Mu did not express any opinions on these, his personality and image are very important in the business field, but as an athlete, ultimately, it depends on his strength and performance.

"This Xiao Zhao looked relaxed and casual just now, and now she looks so serious. Xiaolin, why do I feel that it looks so similar to when you were on the court?" Yu Weili looked at Zhao Lin's appearance and said casually with a smile.

"Haha, Director Yu, this is not surprising. Our coaches are similar to teachers, and they are all taught by example!" Lin Mu also joked easily.

"Haha, I'm teaching by words and deeds, it's really a bit like the core of a team. His personality can sometimes affect other people in the team! Just say Xiao Yang, compared with Liu Ren's past, his mentality has changed a lot. By the way..."

When Yu Weili talked about Yang Zuyao, he suddenly remembered what the center said before. He had already been preparing to say it, but in the end he was depressed by several groups of athletes just now.

"Xiaolin, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yang and you will be able to win a lot of awards at the end of the year or next year. The center and the team have received relevant information. So, the center is considering preparing to let the track and field team cooperate with some domestic merchants to shoot an advertising video, combining commercial and competitive promotion, which is also an attempt. You will definitely be the protagonist at that time. You are mentally prepared and don't bother. This is also a good thing for the team."

"Also, Cai Meng from the Ministry of Commerce came to the team to ask about your situation. In the past, you were just a coach, but there was no requirement for these business aspects, but now there is an athlete who is still an Asian champion. In the future, these advertisements, endorsements and other things are inevitable. They are mainly busy with Zhao Lin and the others. You probably haven't asked for the price here, but I think it won't be long. As for the same thing, don't think it's troublesome. Besides, this is also making money!"

Lin Mu nodded gently. He did not reject these things, and he would not rush to do anything. Just don’t delay things too much.

"Okay, just have a clear idea in your mind. I know you can understand it. If the country spends resources to train athletes, if athletes get some results, I think it is also appropriate. Of course, you don't spend too much resources here, but we can't break some traditions. Kobayashi, you should understand..."

"Guide Yu, don't worry! I understand these things, and I will try my best to cooperate with them. It is not a problem if the money is too low. If possible, it can be handled well by the end of the year and the beginning of next year, and it will not delay normal training and preparation. Next year is a very critical year."

"Yes, next year is a critical year, the Olympics, and our Yanjing!" At this point, Yu Weili's heart became heavier again.

These days, he has paid attention to some other events before the track and field competitions started. Not to mention the country's traditional advantageous events, even many other events have made many breakthroughs.

This age group has broken the world youth record many times, and even surpassed the world record many times. With these many comparisons, if the progress of track and field work still stagnates, the pressure will be too heavy, especially after many breakthroughs have been made at the World Championships.

In fact, he and Feng Yong have discussed these issues before, and the key is to sprint events. They do not expect to be so lucky to encounter the collective weakness of world-renowned players in the Olympics.

Not to mention winning gold and medals, at least there must be athletes who can stand on the finals, and more athletes must emerge to let people see hope for progress and breakthroughs. But such goals are actually not easy.

As I thought about it, Yu Weili, who had seen Zhao Lin watch on the court with a relatively relaxed attitude, couldn't get more relaxed at this time. It is important to observe young athletes and discover potential reserve strength, but these athletes who have achieved results seem to be more important.

"Everyone is here!"

At this time, the referee on the field issued an order, which spread throughout the stadium through the amplification equipment, and the stadium became quiet in an instant.

“Preparation ~”

"Bang~"

With a gunshot, under the gaze of thousands of viewers in front of the TV, eight athletes rushed out of the starting line!

“Come on~”

"Zhao Lin..."

"Tanzhou..."

Zhao Lin, who started, started, accelerated on the track, now no longer had all the casual or deliberate seriousness he had before. Every time he got on the track, countless scenes would flash in his mind if he had said. Now he has formed a habit in his subconscious mind, with his heart and concentration!

He just threw the little vanity brought by the warm welcome from tens of thousands of viewers and went on the track. You only have one goal, that is the finish line a hundred meters later.

After more than 20 days, the coach was disappointed. Before he went with Brother Yang that time, he was actually worried. Although Brother Yang comforted him, maybe the coach couldn't see anything, he basically didn't take it seriously. In fact, he probably knew it in his heart. How could the coach not see it?

If you know him, the coach is definitely the one who knows the most. Anyone who has followed the coach doesn’t understand. Even the short guy has been there for a few months, the coach can still touch his situation and arrange training tasks for him. It’s the feeling that you can vomit when you are tired but you can’t breathe. It’s so real!

Although there are many objective factors, it is true that he has not made much progress. What he can feel is that before continuing training with the coach, except for the pace running-in of the pace is slightly better than before, but the speed and explosion are no different from the Asian Championships, and he can feel it himself.

But now, after practicing the training content arranged by the coach for 7 days, he climbed the track again and accelerated more than 20 meters. He felt stronger again, and even his adjusted steps seemed to be free.

To start and accelerate, you need to stabilize the adjustment stride and frequency, explode stronger, and accelerate more fully, so that you can perform your speed more in the middle and late stages...

On the track, between 40 meters, the agile figure was advancing towards the finish line with a desperate momentum. Other players in the same group were gradually left behind by him, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger!

On the side of the field and in the stands, most of the people who were watching this game were now almost all looking at Zhao Lin. Even other field events that were playing next to him stopped temporarily and stopped to watch.

The athletes on the fifth lane stood out from the 30 to 40 meters at the beginning, and the outbreak was extremely rapid. After only 60 meters, they rode ahead!

"Come on, come on!"

"Flying man, flying man!"

"Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin..."

On the side of the field, the cheers of cheering have never stopped since Zhao Lin led the way. Being able to see the world champion's style with your own eyes at your doorstep is a rare experience for most viewers.

Especially the speed that was like lightning, which was particularly obvious against the backdrop of other players in the same group.

It seemed to be with a sense of arrogance and arrogance on the battlefield, and the audience was trembling with excitement. Even people who didn't know much about the sprint event really felt it at this moment.

This may be the excitement of speed in sprint racing.

“Oh~”

"Champion, flying man!"

"Zhao Lin, Feiren!"

There was another even more violent shock, and the eight contestants rushed through the finish line in turn under Zhao Lin’s “led”!

Before the finish line, the timing card scored the first place in the group.

"10 seconds 00, wind speed -0.4/sec"
Chapter completed!
