"The battle situation in the Yanjing Olympics is very strong, and China's track and field achieves another success..."

"Three people in the 100m to enter the finals, two people in the 200m, three people in the 400m, the rise of China's track and field..."

"Looking at Chinese Track and Field from Chinese Track and Field from Chinese Track and Field from Chinese Track and Field..."

"World champion Yang Zuyao talks about China's sprint at the press conference on the 19th..."

"Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition due to injury, and the Chinese track and field hurdling event failed. From now on, the decline began?"

"Lin Mu: If you can run, you will run. If you are injured, you will withdraw from the competition. Isn't it normal?"

"Athletes need tolerance and care - Lin Mu, deputy leader of the track and field team, publicly stood up for Liu Xiang!"

"Public opinion fermented in the incident of Liu Xiang's withdrawal. How do you view the responsibilities and mission of athletes?"

“…”

On August 19, 2008, a semi-final match of the short-span of the track and field event ended with two semi-finals of the 200m and 400m.

While achieving many results, Liu Xiang's on-the-spot withdrawal incident triggered another climax of public opinion.

At the same time, Lin Mu's on-site information on the press conference also spread through various media channels, quickly occupying the main position of public opinion.

Interpretation of sprinting events, analysis of Liu Xiang’s problem, and some interpretations of athletes and sports itself.

Based on Lin Mu's speeches, various new and old media have continuously analyzed, commented, extended and explored, and a big discussion about Lin Mu's remarks have opened.

Some agree and some criticize, but no one targets Lin Mu himself and the sprint event.

Because, whether in terms of personal achievements or contributions to the development of the entire sprint event, Lin Mu and the sprint event he represented have achieved are obvious to all.

Therefore, even those who are dissatisfied with Lin Mu's speech only look for articles from what he mentioned as the support of athletes and Chinese people.

The victorious person is always right. From this point of view, the effect achieved by Lin Mu's coming out to stand has basically met the expectations of the leaders of the track and field team.

At least since the press conference, few people have deliberately analyzed the issue of Liu Xiang withdrawing from the competition. This has released pressure on Liu Xiang. As for what will happen in the future, it can only depend on Liu Xiang's performance later.

However, there are still many people with relatively sensitive theories and smells who have discovered something from the comparison of speech and project.

Putting aside the rankings, looking at the essence of athletes' performance, why does Liu Xiang's personal competitive level seem to have not improved in four years? Is it because his peak at age has exhausted its potential?

Why is Liu Xiang's achievements in the development of the entire hurdle project not helpful to the project itself, and he is still the only one who stands out, and the rest are all sad? Is he a person who has no talent in China anymore?

Looking at the future of hurdles again, if there is no Liu Xiang, who else will be there? Is the 10-year hurdle development process only in exchange for the honor rankings of big and small, which can only be recorded in the credit book?

These, like this, are chaotic and chaotic. After a night of fermentation, the riotous public opinion debate has become more and more intense.

When the next day arrived, the TV media joined the analysis and discussion, and even the National Daily wrote to join the discussion camp.

The debate on whether the road to sustainable development with Chinese characteristics is further expanded.

In just less than a day, almost every Chinese who is paying attention to the Olympics and caring about China has enough understanding of this series of debates.

Another daytime passed, and when night was about to fall, the Chinese people, regardless of whether they entered the discussion or not, would let go of all this for the time being.

The sixth day of the track and field competition in the Yanjing Olympics is about to begin!

One thing is that no matter what position you have, people agree with it. Just as the coach Lin Mu of the track and field event said, after the game, off the court, you can criticize or even slander it.

But when Chinese athletes wearing Chinese robe are about to set foot on the arena and fight for the country, they need and are willing to support them wholeheartedly.

"Come on Huaxia!"

"Long live China!"

Simple and simple slogans are the most realistic voices in the hearts of more than one billion Chinese people!

As night falls, when lights are on the first to shine on the starry sky, the impact of the day of disputes quietly fades away.

All Chinese audiences turned their attention to the Yanjing arena again.

The National Stadium of Bird's Nest is under attention, with people buzzing with bright lights.

It was another gathering of 90,000 people, and it was the focus of the hundreds of millions of Chinese audiences outside the venue. Noisy, singing, cheers, and shouts came one after another, resounding throughout the competition field and echoed in every corner of China.

It's already 9:45 pm.

The dust of the men's 110-meter hurdles was settled, and the audience still gave applause after a huge sigh of regret.

Come on and applause, and gave it to Shi Dong, who was eliminated.

The lonely Shi Dong bowed deeply to the audience and burst into tears.

The audience felt a little empathetic. If it weren't for Liu Xiang's withdrawal, if it weren't for Coach Lin's repeated mentions, perhaps very few of their care and support could have fallen on Shi Dong.

Many times, like Shi Dong and Ji Wei, the athletes who give their whole body and mind are really very little attention they can get. However, they have been working hard and persevering.

Just like hundreds of millions of ordinary Chinese, they have made silent efforts and been unknown for the development and construction of the motherland.

Are there any complaints?

Maybe!

But is there any hatred?

have no idea……

But no matter whether there is hatred or resentment, they will still set out again when the next day comes.

This is the inheritance of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years!

"Come on Huaxia!"

"Long live China!"

Countless Chinese audiences shouted slogans with emotion at the top of their voices.

The development of a great country is with me and you. I cheer for my motherland and do not judge heroes by success or failure. I am proud of every inheritor of Chinese civilization and spirit!

...

In the stands,

Seeing Shi Dong leave sadly, Sun Ping's eyes were filled with tears.

"Guide Lin, thank you!"

Sun Ping's words were very touching, not only because of Lin Mu's help from them since yesterday's game, but also because of the moment of touching.

Lin Mu used the title of champion athlete and champion coach to stand up for them, helping them stop most of the public opinion. He also relieved too much pressure on Liu Xiang.

Lin Mu also used his influence to speak out for well-known and unknown athletes like Shi Dong, and found respect for these efforts and unknown athletes.

"Guide Sun, don't be dissatisfied, it's all for track and field work. Only those who can stand out can always be the few, but the real development depends on everyone."

He patted Sun Ping gently, and Lin Mu said with a smile.

Sun Ping was a little clumsy, and he didn't know how to express himself. Even, he felt that Lin Mu was still unfulfilled, and he could not make a specific judgment.

On the field, staff were cleaning up the railings on the track and the next event was about to start the competition. They were busy and nervous.

"Old Sun, don't think too much!"

Feng Yong, who temporarily withdrew his gaze from the field, heard the conversation between Lin Mu and Sun Ping, patted Sun Ping lightly and comforted him.

It was a bit regretful that Shi Dong failed to advance, but this atmosphere made him feel a little relieved. After all, a game is just a journey in the journey, and there is still a long road to sports.

However, through this series of changes, he also wanted to talk to Sun Ping about some things.

He could hear what Lin Mu wanted to say just now, but in the end he might not speak out because he considered his position. As the top leader of the track and field team, he had to speak.

"Old Sun, the hull project is too thin now!"

Feng Yong sighed softly, and the words made Sun Ping feel a little ashamed.

"No need to do this, your achievements in bringing Liu Xiang are obvious to all. No one will say anything if you have an injury accident! Just..."

Feng Yong smiled and comforted him, and continued, "But, Lao Sun, you are not only Liu Xiang's coach, but also the deputy head coach of the track and field team, responsible for the overall work of the hurdling project. As of now, there are still some problems with your philosophy, so..."

"I understand! Mr. Feng!" Sun Ping responded in a solemn voice.

He understood that the development philosophy he had always adhered to was to push Liu Xiang higher and gain more honors to stimulate the project itself, and the ultimate goal was to drive the project development.

But over the years, while creating gods, it has also suppressed the development of many other athletes. Apart from Liu Xiang's personal honors, there are really few other athletes.

Liu Xiang failed once, and the hurdling project was knocked back to the prototype, which had a huge impact on him.

He felt really uncomfortable when he saw Shi Dong's lonely scene just now. Strictly speaking, Shi Dong's talent is not bad. Although he is not as good as Liu Xiang, he is definitely the top-notch.

But the attention and resource arrangements from all aspects...

Sun Ping shook his head secretly. He remembered the sprint event, and even remembered that when he occasionally met Lin Mu for so many years, Lin Mu stopped talking.

He really understands now!

"Old Sun, it's not too late, it's not bad now, and Liu Xiang is still young, and the entire inheritance and development system is still in time for a few years."

Feng Yong once again patted Sun Ping.

He always wanted to say some things, but as the deputy director of the center and the top leader of the track and field team, it is really hard to deny the management philosophy of the direct project leader before many things happen.

For example, Lin Mu's comprehensive network-style development, and Sun Ping's full efforts to create a god are all carried out. They are doing their work without any historical experience. Before the result appears, who can tell who is better and worse.

But in fact, they can actually see something from the development process over the past few years.
