Olympic Stadium

In the stands of the stadium, there is a place specifically provided for the main personnel of each delegation to watch the game. The opening and closing ceremonies are almost arranged in this way.

In this area, where the area is most close to the side of the field, Yu Weili, who was muttered by Sun Ping, was here at this time.

With a calm smile on his face, he and Feng Yong stood side by side, holding on to the guardrail with their hands tightly. The expression on their faces was both indifferent and excited, and complicated and inexplicable.

But Feng Yong is completely different at this moment. He is so excited that he looks so excited that he is in a state of excitement.

Since the start of the track and field competition, it has been the third time that he has watched the game on the spot. The first time is the 100-meter rematch, and the second time is the 400-meter final, which makes him very happy. And this time, he first advanced to the 110-meter hurdles, and then Yang Zuyao entered the 200-meter final. How could he not be excited?

He was happy and excited about his achievements, and was excited about the Chinese track and field events, especially the men's short-span events, and he made leaps and bounds in his hands.

Even though his vanity is not strong, his recent situation, the envious eyes that the regiment headquarters had when they were meetings, and the commendations and honors that they had and might have made him feel unstoppable.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Feng Yong wanted to share his feelings with his old partners around him, so he turned his head slightly and looked at Yu Weili beside him, but this look made him a little surprised.

"I said, Lao Yu, you are a little wrong!"

Looking at Yu Weili's expression of calmness and happiness, he was completely inferior to the pride, pride, excitement, and excitement he imagined, and he just felt familiar.

"What's wrong?" Yu Weili was a little confused.

"Wow, I just said where I know each other, my feelings have been infected!"

"Haha, boss, do you think you look like Xiaolin? Haha!" Yu Liwei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, the person also smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with this, right? Our coaches need to keep calm enough to find and solve the problem. Boss, Xiaolin's thinking is fine."

"Besides, there are really no surprises in this game. Isn't it normal for Xiao Yang to enter the finals? Xiao Zhu is also mentally prepared to be eliminated, right?"

"I..." Feng Yong was a little choked. He really didn't know how to refute it. It seemed that he was really wrong, but it seemed that it was not the case, right?

"Lao Yu, didn't that say it? We will reach the semi-finals and finals in the short-term events, and we will have hope of winning cards. Isn't this rare? Not worth being excited?"

Yu Liwei nodded and smiled, "Of course it's rare, but isn't this what I said before? It's quite expected. I just came from Xiaolin. Although I didn't see what he looked like, I'm sure he won't be more excited. Maybe he's still thinking about what problems this trip will have?"

"You~" Feng Yong shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, actually, it's true. Do you think about it? Are Americans excited about one or two of them entering the finals? I don't think so, this is the norm, okay?!"

"Lao Yu, I'm still very angry! Haha. But it's pretty good!" Seeing Yu Weili compare the United States, Feng Yong smiled happily. There are indeed some things that can be compared, which made him feel really good.

"Okay, I won't talk about this. I'm asking you to come and tell you about it. By the way, you can also communicate with Kobayashi more, so that he can... feel a little more lively~"

After his excitement was slightly reduced, Feng Yong curled his smile and continued to say.

"Today, the meeting was held at the regiment headquarters, and Director Luo had already exposed the news. The main leaders of the bureau had already decided on the matter, and the promotion of the deputy head coach was officially entered into the process. Moreover, the matter of adding the deputy director was also approved, even Director Luo..."

"That's the matter. We should have discussed these things after we go back, but after we go back, Kobayashi must have gone to the country with the delegation, and time will be delayed a lot. While the competition is now, you can talk to him more when you have time. He doesn't care at all, it's really a headache."

Feng Yong shook his head helplessly.

"Our center was trying to do this last year, and now it has finally been implemented. Otherwise, the Olympics are still important!" Feng Yong also sighed. Last year's honor was even greater than this, but it has been delayed for almost a year after the newspaper was reported. I haven't heard the news specifically before the Olympics. But now the Olympics are not over, so it has been officially implemented. The efficiency is not high.

After only a little bit of emotion, Feng Yong continued: "Just as we discussed before, if Xiaolin wants to take this lead, we must make him the storefront of the track and field team. Now he is suitable for both his grades and position.

Moreover, as far as the director and Director Li meant, the bureau would arrange something for him by the end of the year, which would also help him with his external image. However, he might need to be more active, at least there should be guaranteed such as interviews and publicity...

In the future, my focus may be on the center. Lao Yu, you get along the most with Xiaolin, you must..."

"Uh-huh……!"

Yu Weili nodded from time to time, Feng Yong's explanation, Yu Weili took a serious note of Lin Mu. As for the possibility of he being appointed as a deputy director, Yu Weili didn't care at all, and was happy if he was not, and he was relieved if he didn't.

He now has positions in the Field Management Association, but he basically doesn't interfere in the affairs there. In his original intention, he is more willing to devote himself to the work of the track and field team. Moreover, he is not young anymore and can't do many years. It is more real to contribute to the track and field team and the track and field team.

Feng Yong thought carefully about what he should explain. After remembering what he said with a smile, he said, "In addition... Director Luo later mentioned to me that the Ministry of Commerce of the Center has already called the international long distance. The quotation intentions of major domestic and foreign merchants to Xiaolin and Xiao Zhao are one foot high, and there are many of them. Now our track and field team is really..."

Feng Yong stopped. He didn't know how to describe it. Although endorsement of commercial sponsorship is about interests, there are actually many problems in response.

"This is already there! And now that the Olympics have come, they are known to everyone in the whole country. It's not surprising that there is such a thing!" Yu Weili smiled and shook his head. This was also expected.

There are more than 5 billion people around the world and more than 1 billion people in China. There may not be many people who really watch the competition, but it is absolutely more than half of them who know and understand. Track and field sprinting is the most popular focus of every Olympic Games. How can those who can make their mark in it lack attention?

"It's Kobayashi's side... After the Asian Championships last year, there was a commercial intention, and Cai Meng in the center hit a second wall. People already had some opinions. He was also his head coach, and Director Luo also comforted the Ministry of Commerce, which made the matter pass. But this time, it probably won't work. Even if Manager Tian agrees, the General Administration will not agree..."

Feng Yong was a little worried. He really didn't want Lin Mu to be too irrelevant with the superiors because of these things. According to Kobayashi's current situation, dozens of contracts could not be escaped. These contracts brought benefits, but various contract constraints are inevitable.

For example, what competitions must be participated in, what activities must be attended, etc. This is a troublesome and time-consuming matter. Kobayashi has spent almost all his time as a coach and an athlete. No wonder he is a little resistant to these things.

"Boss, it seems inevitable! Don't let me persuade Xiaolin, it's useless!" Yu Weili breathed out. The joys and excitement that had just happened completely disappeared. Just like Feng Yong, he was worried. This is not a small profit, no one will let go. If Lin Muzhen took it, the matter would be very troublesome.

"Do you think this is OK?" Yu Weili sorted out his mind and then continued: "Agents and public relations teams should not let the center or superior departments arrange it. Let's find him and find some suitable candidates. Come and help Kobayashi take care of these things. First of all, the people here can at least ensure that they can arrange it without affecting Kobayashi's work as much as possible?!"

"Um~" Feng Yong nodded without comment, "I will report this to the director to avoid being too stiff. The center may agree. After all, Kobayashi's identity is different, and his coach is his job. Then we should find a better spokesperson and find out if there is a suitable agent. I hope he won't think about this matter!!"

"Well, it's actually time to make up all Kobayashi's team support. After this Olympics, I think it's a time to start another day of improvement. It's not good if no one helps him deal with these external trivial matters!"

"Then let's decide this first. You can go back and get a brief look with Kobayashi. I won't talk about it in detail. At present, the work is still mainly based on competitions. Tomorrow is the 200m final, and there is still relay behind it, so you need to worry. As for finding someone, I'll drag down my relationship and ask in those circles!"

"Yes, it's another final!"

...

"...Liu Xiang's start is very good. He was not affected by the rush. In the first three bars, he ran very steadily... He is now full of strength and his movements are very coordinated. He is ahead, and there are two bars, Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang...13 seconds 18, very relaxed. In the last moment, Liu Xiang let out a little water, and 6 Jamaican player Morris Vigno took the opportunity to overtake, won the first place in the group in 13 seconds 17, and Liu Xiang successfully advanced to the final. The final will start at 2:30 tomorrow night in Yanjing time. Everyone is welcome to watch it..."

Athens time on the evening of August 26, Yanjing time on August 27.

In the early morning of the night, countless families in China were watching the Olympic Games. Outside, many hotels and temporary stalls also set up TVs and set up platforms. Family members, three or five friends gathered together, watching the exciting scenes of competition on the TV. I felt a burst of passion coming.

At this moment, with Liu Xiang's successful advancement, even in the middle of the night, countless screams and cheers rang all over the country. At this Olympic Games, men's sprints, including hurdles, were really surprising.

"...After the men's 110-meter hurdles, we will bring you the men's 800-meter semi-finals and the women's 4*100-meter relay preliminaries... At 22:45 pm at Athens time and at 3:45 AM in Yanjing time, our station will broadcast the final of the men's 200-meter race live. Chinese athlete Yang Zuyao will participate in the men's 200-meter final... Before that, we will review the 200-meter race with you during the broadcast interval of the competition. Don't go away..."

With Yang Jian and Han Qiao's introduction in turn, the audience who were preparing to take a break and wait for the time to come back immediately stopped. Although many people have watched the live broadcast of the game many times, they are still very interested.

They don’t want to miss every exciting moment. They just feel it. After more than an hour, they will wait for the more exciting men’s 200m final!

...

at the same time

Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece

Athlete rest area

Yang Zuyao, who is about to participate in the evening final, is here now, and beside him are the athletes of the relay team, including Liu Xiang, who has just finished the competition.

At this moment, they were getting together and chatting leisurely, and it seemed that they were not as nervous as they were about to face the finals. Even Liu Xiang, who had just been excited about running into the finals, was gradually regressed by the excitement of this war.

He was receiving physical therapy services from full-time physiotherapists and looking at several national teammates chatting in front of him, as well as Yang Zuyao, who was vaguely regarded as his elder brother by several people. To be honest, he was a little envious.

The life of athletes is very hard, training, competition, and enduring boredom is even harder. The hardships are all accumulated by the hardships. He once hoped that in the process of these hardships, he could have some friends who are like his ambitions and walk side by side. Of course, it would be even better if he was the leader!

Also from Shanghai, Yang Zuyao joined the national team later than him, but now Yang Zuyao is much better than him in terms of both his grades and reputation. Is it because of a genius? Maybe there is. But in Liu Xiang's heart, he himself is also a genius. Just being able to join the national team at a younger age is enough to prove it.

Maybe there are some that I haven't discovered?!

Liu Xiang thought silently in his heart.

"Oh! By the way, Lao Liu, congratulations on entering the finals!"

It seemed that he had just remembered it, and Zhao Lin turned around to congratulate Liu Xiang while talking.

"Well!"

Every time he heard the title of "Old Liu", Liu Xiang felt speechless, but he didn't know how to refute it. In fact, Zhao Lin was indeed younger than him.

When he thought of his childhood, Liu Xiang couldn't help but think of the series of honors received by this boy who was only 20 years old in October. He felt a little depressed.

He won the World Youth Championship, broke the world youth record, and was also the holder of Asian records. But it seemed that everything was in front of Zhao Lin, and it seemed that there was no weight.

"World Championship champion, first person in Asia within 10 seconds, second in the Olympic Games..."

Without replying to Zhao Lin's congratulations, Liu Xiang counted Zhao Lin's achievements one by one in his heart, and his heart became more determined.

"Okay! Let Liu Xiang have a good rest. It's very tired as soon as he ran down." As if he could see something, Yang Zuyao stopped Zhao Lin, who was about to say something.

Liu Xiang will not let Zhao Lin say anything more to bring unnecessary impact in the final tomorrow. Speaking of which, he is really not familiar with him, even if he is a person from Shanghai, maybe geniuses are all proud!

I have my own ideas and ideas, just like the coach said, I may disagree, but it does not prevent me from understanding.

Shaking his head secretly, Yang Zuyao no longer thought about Liu Xiang.

Looking at the teammates around him, he felt that the current atmosphere of the relay team made him feel comfortable, which is enough! The future may become a tradition, and it is a good thing to think about it.

Motivate each other and promote each other. If you fail, you will comfort others and bless others. What else can you be dissatisfied with?!

Some of the depression caused by analyzing itself has quietly receded at this moment. All the tension in Yang Zuyao's heart disappeared, and replaced by peace.

"Coach..."

He knew that several teammates were specially assigned by the coach to chat with him just to help him relieve his emotions. It seemed like a very ordinary thing, but it would work for him. In the end, it was still a personality. He never doubted that the coach could see through him, even the people in the team said that he was mature.

There are really many things that I can learn, but now, let’s finish this game first!

He stood up from his position, and it was an hour before the game began. It was time for him to go to the recording area!

The coach will look at me from the sidelines, use my best efforts to perform at the best level, and report my results to the coach!

...

"All are back?! Let's go there, you can't be comfortable staying here. Go!"

He smiled at the athletes who had just returned to report to him, and Lin Mu waved his hand.
