Chapter 274 The 200-meter rematch begins(1/2)
"Guide Lin, congratulations!"
At the Olympic Stadium, the evening competition was already in full swing, and in the area where the Chinese delegation was located, the group had already gathered together.
Sun Ping, who hadn't appeared much for several days, came today and came to the side of several coaches of the track and field team. He warmly congratulated Lin Mu as soon as he came up.
"Old Sun, what are you congratulating? Coach Lin can congratulate you now! Haha!"
Yu Weili was in a good mood, and the track and field team has been the focus of a series of achievements and honors during this period. Even the congratulatory letters sent by China more than once, and the level is higher than once. Although overall track and field is still weak, this time the sprint event has truly broken through the sky, whether it is results or ranking.
Yu Weili's words caused a burst of laughter from the people around him. There were indeed too many, personal, coach, and overall, Lin Mu was able to say that he had a comprehensive harvest.
"Guide Yu, congratulations. Congratulations to Coach Lin for leading the athletes to make breakthroughs. Congratulations to Coach Lin for defeating the strong and winning the gold medal. The first round of the 200-meter competition has passed. I still have great hope..."
Sun Ping smiled and counted it, and this number was even more emotional. It was really like it was at last year's World Championships. No matter how big the stage or the level of the contestants, it seemed that Lin Mu was always creating miracles.
Of course, he didn't envy him either. He asked himself that what he did was OK at the moment. Shi Dong, Liu Xiang, and especially Liu Xiang were all on the right track. This time, at least he felt that there was a great hope of winning the card.
"Coach Sun, I want to congratulate you too. Didn't Liu Xiang enter the second round, and now, all parties comment that Liu Xiang is a seed player who won the championship!"
Lin Mu was praised for being congratulated and praised, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and he was somewhat numb. Even if the day had just passed, it was less than 24 hours to be precise. But he had received too much praise.
After being excited and excited, even if he is not calm, he will force himself to calm himself down. As for what he says after returning to China, it is all a matter of time. At least he will not think about the previous honors now.
"What seed player? He won Alan Johnson twice. The media didn't do that, and followed the trend. What they said is accurate? Just like the expected game that others played for Coach Lin before, the top three were difficult. But what about now?"
Sun Ping said modestly and praised Lin Mu again as he said, but his smile naturally opened.
The men's 110-meter hurdles also started the first round today. One hour before the men's 200 meters, Liu Xiang easily advanced to the second round with absolute strength of 13 seconds 27 seconds. It was a little regretful that Shi Dong was eliminated. After all, his strength was a little worse, and compared with Liu Xiang, Shi Dong's stability is not bad, but his explosiveness is much worse.
However, it was not disappointing. Sun Ping's initial idea was that there would be a breakthrough in this Olympics, with the goal being set in 2008. But starting from the second half of last year, everything seemed to be better than expected.
Especially after changing the pace of the first column, Liu Xiang began to get better and better in both competitive state and personal strength, and gradually took big steps towards a higher direction. This also gave him a lot of prospects for Liu Xiang's Olympic Games.
Moreover, the schedule of this competition is also very easy, which allows him and the athletes to have enough time to save and adjust. The man's 110-meter hurdles, as a straight line event, are also highly concerned. Which athlete, the coach does not want to have more attention? This is not only an honor, but also a recognition of all hard work.
"It's a pity that Xiaoshi is just."
Yu Weili also said with regret that the Olympics will bring glory to the country and one more person will enter the semi-finals to enter the semi-finals. This is a promotion for track and field events.
He has always been optimistic about Shi Dong, but it may be that Liu Xiang's talent is too prominent. Whether it is attention or training, Shi Dong is undoubtedly much worse.
Even at this Olympics, when choosing a team coach, Shi Dong's coach Lu Bin failed to do so. He was responsible for Sun Ping, the nominal head coach. But in fact, everyone knows that Sun Ping can spend very little energy on Shi Dong.
Since the start of sprinting, especially after Lin Mu began to consider the entire sprinting athletes, a series of changes, compared with the past situation, Yu Weili's understanding of the historical dilemma of "one person's rise and fall will ruin the world".
No matter how outstanding athletes are, there is always a group of relatively excellent people to work together. This is thickness and it is also the true national heritage.
"Some people hold the flag, some people set off!"
Yu Weili couldn't help but remember what Lin Mu once said. Lin Mu was young, but he could think, and he could take action for what he wanted. He could do it effectively. Sometimes many things are really not determined by age and experience.
Of course, the responsibilities of these leaders are indispensable, and the plate is not big enough after all.
The few of them just greeted each other, after all, the key is to come to the stadium to observe the game.
All the field races are ongoing. The first event of the track race in the evening was the men's 200m rematch, and the time started from 20 o'clock. Now the staff of the organizing committee are busy preparing the facilities on the track and checking the track. The time is almost up.
There are four groups in the men's 200m rematch, with the top three in each group directly advancing, and the four best results were replaced, with a total of 16 athletes entering the semi-finals, and the semi-finals will start tomorrow night.
Compared with the 100-meter race, the schedule of the 200-meter race is undoubtedly much easier. In addition to today's preliminary and rematch, the subsequent semi-finals and finals are one match a day.
Moreover, the schedule of this time particularly considers the issue of the rounding. Not only is the 100-meter and 200-meter arrangement very open, but the 400-meter and 200-meter intervals are not short, and some athletes who are both part-time are fully considered.
This also made many people in the previous delegation feel a little regretful. They said that Lin Mu should have considered running 200 meters to meet the standard before. With Lin Mu's state in the final, they also believe that he will definitely have certain competitiveness in running 200 meters.
But Lin Mu just smiled. Although he has now set his mindset to fight for honor for the motherland, he believes that he still has to focus on coaching work. No matter how good he runs, he is at most alone.
200 meters and 400 meters, in his plan, at least three Olympic quotas must be guaranteed in the future, and it cannot be just a formality when you go to the stadium. This requires no less energy and time. Moreover, not only can you practice the athlete's level, but you also need to work hard in other aspects, such as speeding up the cultivation of maturity, such as cultivating mentality and will.
It's like this time!
"Coach Lin, how is the situation where Zhu Kun?"
As the preparations were completed on the field and the competition was approaching, Yu Weili asked about the athletes with concern.
The two players who participated in the competition in China, Yang Zuyao and Zhu Kun, both ran into the rematch. Yang Zuyao was in the fifth group and was very relaxed in the group with 23 seconds.
However, Zhu Kun, who appeared before, had some surprises. He might have been nervous or was too excited for the first time to go to the Olympics. After a rush, he ran tremblingly for 200 meters, with a 20.76 seconds, ranking fifth in the third group.
Fortunately, the final result was not disappointed. The 31st place in the total score reached the final. Surviving a big ups and downs is a relatively big psychological impact for any athlete. After all, he is still very young, only 19 years old by the end of the year!
"It's okay, the preliminaries are too tight, but once, I also entered the rematch. After I put down the pressure, my mentality is much more stable now. I have asked Lao Yuan to accompany Coach Chen and the others to check..."
After thinking about all his arrangements, checking Zhu Kun's current status in the encyclopedia, Lin Mu answered Yu Weili's words.
"Pressure? Hehe, yes!"
Yu Weili couldn't help but shook his head.
In previous years, athletes were running hard for the Olympics. Although they might be nervous, they probably never had any pressure.
But now, all the previous results are here, and any athlete in the sprint event is also under some pressure while glorious. No one wants to be the one who is the most dragging person. It seems that entering the rematch is basically a requirement. However, according to Zhu Kun's previous score of 20.50 seconds, this is true in terms of strength.
"Then let's see how they perform!"
Yu Weili didn't talk about these things anymore. Now that we are at this moment, we can only look at their performance. Athletes need more experience in growing up.
"However, Coach Lin, even if you can't run well, you and Coach Chen should focus on guidance and guidance... Well, forget it, you are not worse than me in these aspects now. Watch the game!"
Yu Wei Li was about to give some more advice, but when he was halfway through, he smiled and stopped.
Just so happened that the broadcasters on the scene had already started broadcasting the competition information. The two of China and Zhu Kun were divided into the second group, and Yang Zuyao was in the third group, preparing to add the competition, and each group only took a few minutes.
After the first group of players in the rematch walked onto the track, it was only a dozen minutes before Zhu Kun and Yang Zuyao would appear one after another.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening local time, and it was different from the morning when the seats were about to be over halfway through. At this time, the stadium was almost full.
In track and field competitions, every night's competition time is the focus of each event, and today is naturally no exception. The men's 200m rematch that will begin soon and the finals of many subsequent competitions are worthy of attention.
Report, introduce, issue order, run.
With the enthusiasm of the audience, the atmosphere in the stadium gradually heated up as the competition began. It was in this gradually rising heat that the first group of the men's 200-meter rematch ended!
As the results were confirmed and announced, all the audiences at the scene were not stingy with applause and cheers. In the first group of the first event, good results have appeared, and they are more looking forward to the next game becoming more and more exciting.
"The results are really good. Crawford's 200 meters are really strong. It's the 37-year-old veteran in this state..."
On the sidelines, when Yu Weili saw the results on the scene, he couldn't help but sigh and became a little nervous about the next game for the Chinese players.
"19 seconds 95!"
The finish line timing card clearly shows the first place in the group, and American Sean Crawford won the first place in the first group with an absolute advantage.
"It's really strong. He is the favorite to win the championship this time. He ran into 20 seconds a lot. This result is just his usual performance. I have seen some of his information collected in the team. Compared to before, he is much better at starting speed in the future..."
Lin Mu affirmedly took Yu Weili's words, and they were all coaches together, and there was no need to leave any words for general evaluation. Lin Mu also analyzed Crawford relatively objectively. Unlike 100 meters, Crawford did take a strong word on 200 meters.
In the international track and field industry, it is recognized that 100 meters and 200 meters and 20 seconds are a watershed. But compared to the difficulty of 10 meters and 10 seconds, it is more difficult to enter 20 seconds in 200 meters. Currently, few people who are active in the field have run into 20 seconds in the 200 meters. For example, there are only two players participating in the competition today, from the current results and past results, there are only two people who have run into 20 seconds in 200 meters.
Perhaps it was because of the excitement of the legendary veteran Fredericks, or perhaps it was to vent his emotions of losing 100 meters, Crawford's strong run announced the arrival of the 200-meter project.
After a brief discussion, the few people focused all their attention on the track. After all, no matter what the opponent is, the key is to be able to perform by themselves.
"Xiao Zhu is here! She looks in good condition!"
Looking at Zhu Kun, who had already entered the stadium at this time, Yu Weili nodded with satisfaction. No matter how he ran next, at least from what he observed now, it was obviously not as tight as he felt during the preliminaries.
"Well, it's good. There's no pressure on him in the team or us. Now his strength is still a little short of it. He can run into his own form, and it's a good or bad one, just a training session!"
Lin Mu is basically satisfied with Zhu Kun's current situation.
Unlike Yang Zuyao, Zhu Kun does not have so many competition experiences. He does not have the luck of Zhao Lin. The World Championships he participated in for the first time was of high platform, but the players' strength was not strong. Zhu Kun's current improvement after running in one game is relatively good!
As the second athlete appeared on the field, the information about the second group of the rematch was also posted on the big screen.
First, Ruala, Algeria
Second, Mark Torrere, Italy
The third route, Annastasios Gusis, Greece
The fourth road, Bernard Williams, United States
The fifth road, Jarucinsky, Poland
Sixth Road, Brian Dekinga, Zimbabwe
The seventh road, Helmk, Germany
The eighth way, Zhu Kun, China.
...
"Coach Lin, this group of players, look at this situation. Does Xiao Zhu have any hope of advancing?"
After looking at the big screen, he looked for the athletes on the scene, and then Yu Weili leaned over Lin Mu and asked with concern.
The introduction of athletes on the scene has begun, and the noise is getting more and more intense, which has also made the coaches gathered together move closer. The volume of their speech can only be deliberately increased.
Listening to Yu Weili's inquiry, the coaches also looked at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu did not answer immediately and sorted out the information in his mind.
Although he prefers to analyze these in his past and present life, there are too many foreign athletes after all, and only one or two of them can really impress him. The original intelligence collection of national teams was generally rare like these second-rate and first-class players.
