At eight o'clock in the morning, the largest comprehensive stadium in Xiangshan City.
"There are so many people. Will Xiao Tian compete here later?" Mother Su only knew what a huge crowd of people meant when she arrived at the scene.
After all, it is the last stop of this year's National Track and Field Grand Prix. There will still be a lot of people coming, at least a lot more people than at the Tianfu stop.
There are so many people, which is really a shock to an ordinary rural woman who has been in the countryside since she was a child.
It's like you are suddenly put under the gaze of thousands of people. Most people may not be able to speak well for the first time.
"Yeah." Su's father actually felt a little "unable to hold it", but after all, he was the head of the family, so he forcibly held back and took Su's mother to the seats in the first few rows.
You can even clearly see Su Shen's warm-up movements from above.
Su Shen and the others knew the location of their parents a long time ago, so they all looked up and waved in that direction.
"Brother of the Su family, eldest brother of the Chen family, this must be your first time to watch this kind of game." Zhou Bing's father was a retired athlete, so he was quite knowledgeable in this field, so he began to help as a commentator and introduced: "This is The National Track and Field Grand Prix is a national event in our country, usually four to five stops, similar to the most popular Golden League abroad. Well, it is the one Liu Xiang participated in in Shanghai some time ago. "
I don’t know anything else, but now when it comes to Liu Xiang, everyone still knows a thing or two.
"The level of our country's track and field grand prix is not high. It is mainly used to earn points and participate in various large-scale events that require points. For example, the National Games." Dad Zhou talked eloquently: "This one is the 2005 National Championships. The last stop for everyone in track and field is also the final stop. Ordinary people can’t participate even if they want to.”
"The matches between Xiao Tian and A Bing are in the morning, and the semi-finals are in the afternoon." Dad Zhou said: "It seems that the finals are separated."
Father Su and Mother Su don’t remember what Father Zhou was saying later. Anyway, they just felt...
This competition venue is really big.
There are so many people.
If you stand on it and compete by yourself, your calves will probably become weak.
But when they saw their son down there, taking his time and doing preparatory activities, the two of them felt comforted.
…
Inside the stadium.
"The opponent is very strong. It is much more difficult than last time in Shu. There are many masters." Ningdebao began to explain to everyone again.
"The silver medalist at the last National Games, Xiao Liu Yang, known as Liu Yang Er, is also here. He was injured some time ago and he only came back recently. This is his second game." The Xiao Liu Yang that Ningdebao was talking about is. Some of the strongest people in the country. His peak performance was when he debuted at the age of 20 and ran 10.25, which was astonishing at the time. But unfortunately, there were constant injuries for 2 consecutive years, and he was only around 10.50+. In Shanghai last year, I managed to get back to 10.29, but was injured again not long after.
The current best result is 10.50, but Su Shen remembers that in this Grand Prix final, he should have reached the best result of the year of 10.46. And then I got hurt again...
A typical talent ruined by injuries.
I really don’t know how many talents have been destroyed in China during this period.
In addition to him, Da Liuyang also came. Da Liuyang's birthday was in 1976, and he was four or five years older than Xiao Liuyang. But his physical condition is obviously better than that of Xiao Liuyang. He is almost 30 years old, and he can still run 10.44, and even created the best result of his career.
Da Liuyang's continuous progress actually shows that as long as the body is well protected, we can actually continue to make progress when we get older. This is not an exaggeration. In the year of his retirement, Liuyang even ran 10.42, setting a new record for his career best.
He will be 31 that year.
On the contrary, Xiao Liuyang, who was extremely talented and at the peak of his career, sadly quit the 100-meter race at the age of 26 or 7.
In 2007, my score dropped to 10.80+, and I never participated in any major competitions after that.
This pair of big and small oceans is actually a good example.
It’s just that no one has studied and studied it in detail before.
"In addition to Liu Yang and Liu Yang, there is also the former number one person in the country, Zhou Weilai, who participated in the competition. Although Zhou Wei is also 29 years old, he still has to be careful as he is the number one person in the country and the record holder." Ningde Everyone should be familiar with Zhou Wei from Bao Zui. He is the 100-meter record holder since the 1970s. He once won the championship in the Asian Championships and was the number one in Asia for a short period of time.
Unfortunately, everyone knows about his problem. He was suspended for several years due to drug prohibition, and when he came back, he was in no shape. Dropped significantly. Some people began to wonder whether his 10.17-second record was also caused by drugs.
This is the "banned drug effect". Generally speaking, if you have it once, you will have doubts about all your achievements.
Maybe you were really useless that time, but besides yourself, who else would believe in you.
Zhou Wei's current fastest time is 10.49 set in April this year, which is just right for the master level.
Su Shen knew that this year was the last year of his career. From then on, the flying man Zhou Wei was never seen on the field again.
Withdrew from the arena.
The strongest opponent in this competition is of course none other than Wen Yongyi.
After running 10.34 last year, he was suddenly in the limelight, but unfortunately he was injured. This year, he competed in several Guangdong provincial competitions, and he was just recovering from the injury when he was injured again.
Luck and blood volume are really not strong enough.
So far, he is also in the recovery period. The best time this year was 10.44 in April.
In fact, he had been pressing Yin Hualong before, but due to injuries, he has now been overtaken by the latter.
If you observe carefully, domestic sprinters have too many injuries.
To say that injuries are more severe than tigers, there is no problem at all.
So why are there so many injuries?
In addition to Soviet-style training, crazy oppression, lack of science, backward medical system, etc., what other reasons are there?
That is……
strength!
Before Su Shen, our country's track and field athletes all had "bamboo pole figures."
It's not that there is no muscle, but it is mainly "lean" and more like the figure of foreign athletes over 400 meters.
And the stronger the force, not only can it increase the speed and break the limit, but it also has another effect that cannot be ignored.
That is the protective nature of strength for the body.
Many times injuries occur because the kick is not strong enough and cannot hold back, which results in physical injuries.
This is also the reason why Su Shen gets fewer injuries as he gets older.
After analyzing these people, Su Shen suddenly saw a familiar person. This person...
Who else is Zhang Peimeng who has already joined the national team?
And Ningdebao didn't mention Zhang Peimeng, not because he forgot, but...
Now Zhang Peimeng can no longer run Su Shen in the 100 meters.
Although he has improved a lot this year, and is currently only 0.03 seconds away from the master level in 100 meters, but 100 meters is so cruel.
You are not even a master, but you want to go out as a dark horse?
Unless you have a "disrupting rhythm" super buff skill like Su Shen.
Otherwise, it's all in vain.
However, Zhang Peimeng joined the national team not because of the 100 meters, but now because of the 200 meters.
He has already broken through the master level in the 200 meters and reached 21.10 in Tula, Russia.
To be honest, few people in the country can match this level.
To be honest, 200 meters of talent accumulation is less than 100 meters.
Zhang Peimeng saw Su Shen's side, but he did not come directly because he still clearly remembered that after the Chinese Games, he heard a name from the coaching staff.
Someone ran 10.51 seconds at the China Games. He was over 16 years old and came from Xiangshan City. His name was Su Shen.
At this moment, Zhang Pei was stunned.
Because of this name, he really remembered it.
Just a year ago, it was this name that defeated me, a quasi-national brand.
Although in that game, my own mistakes accounted for the main factor.
But losing is losing.
Zhang Peimeng has a very strong character.
After he heard the news, he immediately found the relevant newspaper and looked at the photos...
Ho.
Although it was blurry, the person in the photo with Liu Xiang was not the Su Shen in his impression, but who he was.
Nowadays, because the Internet is not that developed and the information is not comparable to that of later generations, it is actually difficult for Zhang Peimeng to have much news about Su Shen in the imperial capital. Besides, in his impression, Su Shen is the headwind of 11.27, and his hard power exceeds 11.
He is still far away from himself.
He knew very well how difficult it would be to not improve by 0.05 seconds after 11 seconds.
Until I received the news that Su Shen broke the record in the Chinese Games. The latter scored a super score of 10.51 in the final.
this.
If he hadn't seen the photo, he would have thought there was a mistake.
In one year, he flew from 11 seconds away directly to the door of the master level?
Is this because I am improving too slowly, or because someone else is flying a plane?
I am now 18, and I only ran 10.53.
That's it, because there is no issue of changing the age, the coach praises his talent.
Come here and compare with him, what kind of talent do you have?
The coach is not comforting himself.
Fortunately, Su Shen still stretched his hips during the 200 meters, which made Zhang Peimeng feel better.
At this moment, Zhang Peimeng hadn't decided whether to go over and say hello, but Zhou Bing saw him, raised his hand and said, "Oh, Brother Stinky, you're here too? The national team is pretty free now."
He and Zhang Peimeng have never dealt with each other, and their first impressions were that they were not good for each other.
Zhang Peimeng saw Zhou Bing and frowned: "Are you here too? Are you qualified to run in this final?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? I was the bronze medalist in the last race, so I won third place. Who are you looking down on?" Zhou Bing got angry and counterattacked directly, but this kind of counterattack was meaningless because Zhang Peimeng didn't have eyes for him.
"I heard that you ran to 10.51 in the China Games. Congratulations. It seems that we have a chance to compete." Zhang Peimeng's eyes automatically filtered out Zhou Bing, and he looked at Su Shen and said.
"Well, you're not bad either. You ran well in the 200 meters in Tula. You've made a name for the younger generation of our country." Su Shen was quite familiar with Zhang Peimeng's data. After all, he has been a teammate of the national team for so long. How could he not be clear about this? .
"Well, um, it's okay, I didn't win the first place." Zhang Peimeng was actually a little embarrassed when he heard Su Shen came over and praised him. He is the type of arrogant and macho man he is talking about.
"Are you going to participate in the 100 meters and 200 meters this time?" Su Shen asked.
"Well, what about you." Zhang Peimeng felt like he was being weighed down every time he talked to Su Shen, even though he was older. This feeling was very strange, as if the other party could easily take the initiative in the conversation. Except for Su Shen, he had never seen it in anyone of his age.
Of course, Su Shen and he are not the same age yet. After all, one is an adult and the other is still a "minor".
"Me too." Su Shen smiled and said, "It looks like we are going to be rivals again."
"Yeah." Before Zhang Peimeng could think of what to say, Su Shen waved his hand and said, "Then let's see you in the finals."
"good."
Zhang Pei nodded fiercely, and the two of them were talking across Zhou Bing the whole time, as if Zhou Bing in the middle did not exist and was just a "humanoid air".
Seeing Su Shen turn around and leave, Zhou Bing thought about how to make a scene, so he thought for a while and said: "I have become stronger too, don't underestimate me, we will see you in the finals."
"You?" Zhang Peimeng was stunned for a moment, as if he had just recovered from the sight of Su Shen in his eyes, and said:
"Why are you still here?"
"You didn't leave."
Zhou Bing:......
Zhou Bing:? ? ?
Zhou Bing:! ! !
