Ersha Island.
During the preparations for the World Championships, Su Shen will not go to school and will concentrate on training and preparing for the competition.
At this time, there were actually things that made Yu Weili worried.
Yu Weili came to Ersha Island for inspection and felt that there was no problem at all, which made him happy.
But you can see that there is still a lot of worry on Yu Weili's face.
This is because of one of the biggest competitive contradictions in our country: the contradiction between the National Games and the World Series.
Not only in this life, but also in the last life and before, there are media reports that some track and field athletes are not very enthusiastic about participating in the World Championships in preparation for the National Games that will kick off in November. This is a stubborn problem that has not been solved for a long time. Over the years, there has been a trend of giving up the World Series in order to preserve the Games. It has been reported that although the World Athletics Championships in Berlin are approaching, since this year is the year of the National Games, some domestic athletes are not very enthusiastic about participating in the World Championships, and some team members have even given up participating in the National Games.
Although officials say there is no such problem, various provinces and cities have a deeper and deeper understanding of the national system and have great support for the national team. There is no fundamental contradiction between the National Games and the World Championships, and the National Games will not be affected by the World Championships. But if you look at the policy, you will know that if there is really no impact, why bother to issue a notice saying that the top 8 in the World Championships will receive a number of National Games quotas.
Isn't it just because they are not very motivated to save the National Games?
In order to preserve their strength before the National Games, some teams either adopted an "avoidance" attitude toward the World Championships, or declined on the grounds that athletes were injured. Some even deliberately reminded their team members to keep a "low profile" before the National Games in order to compete in the National Games. Give full play to the Games.
"Didn't Director Feng say it well during the press conference? Why are you looking so sad?" Yuan Guoqiang looked at his former teacher and asked.
"It's not that kind of thing." Yu Weili shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Abandoning the World Series for the National Security Games?" Yuan Guoqiang understood immediately. After all, he was also a person who came up in the system and was very aware of the twists and turns within the system.
"That's right." Yu Weili said.
"Isn't there an incentive policy coming out this time?" Yuan Guoqiang said.
"Difficult to handle."
"And it's of no use." Yu Weili smiled bitterly: "The champion of the World Championships will get five National Games quotas, and the fourth to eighth place will also get one more National Games quota. It sounds beautiful, but how many people do you think? It can be cashed out, so since it can’t be cashed in, it’s better not to give it up.”
"At present, it is difficult for this decision to have any practical effect on provincial and municipal sports bureaus."
Yuan Guoqiang didn't say much, just nodded silently, because he knew very well that this was a situation that could not be changed in a short time.
Are the National Games or the World Championships higher? This shouldn’t be a problem. One is a national event and the other is a world event. From a competitive perspective, the World Championships represents the world’s top level in this individual event. However, somewhat paradoxically, many provinces are more willing to let themselves Athletes put their focus on the National Games, not the World Championships. It takes less than a month from the end of the World Championships to the National Games, coupled with traveling, which will greatly affect the performance of the national team members at the National Games. One is trying his best, and the other is waiting for work. It's hard to say who will gain and who will lose in the National Games.
Of course, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of interests.
In fact, everyone in the sports circle knows that the rewards of the National Games held every four years are not comparable to those of the World Championships, and they are even more valued locally than the Olympic Games - because many sports have no chance of winning medals in the Olympic Games, but the National Games There is still a chance of winning a gold medal through internal competition in the Games.
In the ranking of important sports events in our country, the Olympic Games will undoubtedly always be the first, and the second place may be the National Games. The reason is simple. The Olympic Games brings glory to the country, and the National Games brings glory to the local area. Olympic and National Games medals will be directly included in the quantitative assessment goals of the General Administration and local sports bureaus, and will be directly related to job promotions, bonus distributions, and key project adjustments. Related. When an athlete wins an Olympic gold medal, the various bonuses from the country, localities, and companies add up to millions. The reward for winning a National Games gold medal is only slightly lower than the Olympic standard, and in some cases even higher than the Olympic standard. In contrast, results in international events such as the World Championships, World Cup, and Tennis Grand Slam competitions are difficult to be included in the assessment of local sports departments. When the National Games conflicts with the World Championships and professional competitions, At this time, it will be clear at a glance what choices the local sports bureaus will make.
'Take it easy, don't get hurt. '
These words have also become "black words" and "code words" in the selection of the National Games and World Championships.
In fact, other countries also have their own "National Games". It is normal for athletes to weigh the pros and cons.
Whether he can win the national honor or lose his place in the World Series may represent the issue of future distribution and bonuses.
The career lifespan of athletes is very short, so it is only natural for people to consider this.
Therefore, if you want to change, you still have to change the essence. For example, in addition to Olympic and National Games medals, they will be directly included in the quantitative assessment goals of the General Administration and local sports bureaus, and are directly related to job promotions, bonus distribution, and key project adjustments. , we must also bring other world championships and international competitions into the standard, or even higher, and learn how foreign countries take care of both.
Otherwise, this "stubborn disease" will probably remain the same in more than ten years.
"Fortunately, your Ersha Island is still stable, otherwise Director Feng and I would have had even more headaches." Seeing Ersha Island's active preparations for war, Yu Weili still felt a lot more comfortable.
"We still have no problem." Yuan Guoqiang said: "Basically, the country has been swept away. The goals and ambitions of these athletes have never been in China. They are not even in Asia."
"Ersha Island has really brought out a group of people." Yu Weili said: "Anyway, the popular events are well competed. It doesn't matter if you can't win the gold medal. People also know how valuable the medals in the popular events are. The rest are to ensure that everyone Just guarantee the Games. There is no other way. The domestic popularity of the World Championships has never been as high as the National Games. I can’t force others. Everyone has their own considerations. You can work harder if you can."
"In terms of welfare, I will help you and the General Administration strive for it. Just prepare well for the war."
"Of course." Yuan Guoqiang nodded and said, "Even if I don't let it, these brats won't agree."
"Hahahaha." Yu Weili laughed: "This is correct."
"Come on in the trials, although I think your Ersha Island has already been conquered."
…
The World Championships trials begin in early July.
The trials were held in Yangcheng.
Maybe it's because the Asian Championships will be held in Yangcheng, China, at the end of the year.
It is considered as practicing in advance.
Yangcheng Gymnasium has a large circular square of about 1,500 square meters at the entrance to the main venue. The space is wide and convenient for people to gather and disperse. The total construction area of the main stadium is 39,635 square meters, with a maximum vertical span of 160 meters and a maximum horizontal span of 110 meters. The auditorium has a total of 24 large and small boxes and 10,018 regular seats, including 654 VIP seats and 5,044 fixed seats. There are approximately 4,320 seats, and with additional aisles, it can accommodate approximately 20,000 people.
Although it can't compare with the Bird's Nest, it was still very good in 2000.
This year alone, more than ten solo concerts by Chinese superstars have been held.
It's hard for others to say, but the people of Ersha Island are very familiar with this stadium, and it can even be called their home stadium.
It's also very convenient to come here. They are all in Yangcheng, so you can recharge your batteries and attack.
It can be seen that in order to host the Asian Championships and next year's Asian Games, the venue has actually been upgraded. It looks more majestic and magnificent than the Yangcheng Stadium we saw before.
"I didn't expect the Yangcheng Stadium to be so beautiful." Zhou Bing touched his head and said, "It looks much more impressive than before."
"Look at this runway, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, it's obviously newly paved, it feels great to the touch."
"If this was the case before, I could definitely run a little better."
"That's impossible." Zhao Haohuan struck mercilessly: "You only have so much strength, and it won't change much because of the renovation of the venue. It's better to improve your strength honestly."
Zhou Bing was suffocated, and when he saw it was Zhao Haohuan, he immediately scratched his neck and said, "Why are you so arrogant! I am also a qualified player in the OW competition now, I am not much worse than you."
"You?" Zhao Haohuan almost lost his voice when he heard this, and said, "You'd better forget it. I have a certificate, do you have one?"
"I..." Zhou Bing was speechless, because the certificate means that you entered the top eight.
Only the top eight will receive certificates.
Non-finalists, there will be none.
"I will have it in the future!" Zhou Bing said angrily.
"Then we'll talk about it later." Zhao Haohuan said calmly.
"Okay, you two, don't forget to unite." Su Shen said, dumbfounded: "There are cameras here. Although we are just here to familiarize ourselves with the venue, there are still so many people watching. Don't give them the chance to make big news."
After saying that, Su Shen also nodded around, as if to tell them that there were many eyes watching.
Don't think this is still Ersha Island.
If you have a problem, you can go back and make any noise with the door closed.
There is no problem in adapting to the venue. The refurbished venue is more comfortable. Although it is not the most technological high-speed track, it is much more comfortable than the old track before, with much more elasticity and grip.
This time the people from Ersha Island will probably break their heads in order to compete for the quota.
Even if I can't get a single spot, I still want to get a substitute spot or a relay spot.
After all, Ersha Island is inhabited by capable people.
If not.
Even Su Shen himself has to come down.
But the one that attracts the most attention is Liu Xiang.
Will Liu Xiang come to participate?
After Liu Xiang participated in a gold race, he ran a time of 13.24s with a headwind of 0.1M/S, which can be regarded as continuing to refresh his season SB. However, in this game, Liu Xiang obviously did not use his full strength and failed to press the line in the end.
I just ran along and ran 13.24s. Although I couldn't win this time, I still got third place.
Got a bronze medal level.
Although not many stars came in this game, being able to continue to win the top three in the Golden League is an affirmation of Liu Xiang's attitude and physical condition.
This National Games may be the first game for the domestic media to see Liu Xiang up close after his recovery.
Liu Xiang has competed abroad before. Seeing is believing. Whether he can do it depends on whether Liu Xiang can take the first shot in the country.
Faced with this problem, Liu Xiang's junior brother Xie Wenjun, who will also participate in the trials this time, faced the camera and said: "Brother Xiang's strength has definitely returned to the top in Asia, but he still needs top opponents to stimulate him."
"But even so, I still think that no one in China or even in Asia can be Brother Xiang's opponent."
Sun Haiping himself has deliberately avoided this issue. After learning the lessons of 2008, he no longer dares to speak casually. I am afraid that I will say or do something wrong again.
As for Liu Xiang himself, he did not accept interviews publicly and only left one sentence: See you on the playing field.
This attitude has also caused many people in the country to speculate. Some people say that Liu Xiang's injury has not fully recovered, while others say that Liu Xiang is bluffing again, or that he is starting to be mysterious again. But only Liu Xiang himself knows that although he has not yet returned to his best peak condition, he is quite satisfied that he can return to this level so quickly and even participate in the World Championships.
As for results.
He really didn't think much about it.
The way he thought about it, if he didn't run close to 13 seconds in this final, it would be impossible to win the gold medal. With Robles still around, it would be better for him to lower his expectations.
With this mentality.
The selection competition kicked off the next day.
Not to mention being able to compete in China, Liu Xiang himself is also looking forward to it.
As for pressure, due to physical recovery and conceptual progress, he actually doesn't have much to deal with this anymore.
Ersha Island is basically an isolated environment, and there is no news from the outside world.
In addition, no one mentioned this matter, which allowed Liu Xiang's mentality to completely recover.
This time, he just came to prove that he could still run.
He can also represent the country and win honors.
…
China Sports Channel.
"Hello, viewers, this is Tianchao Sports Channel, and I am Yang Jian."
"I'm Hu Kai."
"The competition we are going to bring today is the domestic selection competition for the World Championships." Yang Jiandao: "Here, within three days, our athletes who will compete in Berlin will be selected."
"The first competition brought is the triple jump..."
After several competition events, it was finally the turn of the highlight, the 110-meter hurdles, the men's preliminaries.
The biggest highlight of this game is naturally that Liu Xiang, who has disappeared for a long time, begins to compete again in China.
Back into the public eye.
"Hu Kai, what do you think of Liu Xiang's first domestic game?" Yang Jian said: "You should be with Liu Xiang during winter training. Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course." Hu Kai nodded and smiled: "I can't say much else, because Liu Xiang's team also has its own plans, but there is one thing I can guarantee with everyone, that is... Liu Xiang's body is recovering, and The progress is very good.”
"So far, we have reached the stage where we can compete. If it is a domestic competition, then I think." Hu Kai paused and said: "Liu Xiang should still be able to win the first place. Even in competitions across Asia, There won’t be any problems.”
"Oh, let's wait and see." After Yang Jian finished speaking, Liu Xiang appeared on the TV screen.
He was in the first group of preliminaries.
The sound effect was met with cheers and boos from the audience.
Compared with the expectations of 100,000 people at the Bird's Nest, 100,000 people were disappointed. In fact, this is a small scene at the moment.
Liu Xiang came on the field, walked to the starting block, and patted his new Su Shen series jersey. No one knew what he was thinking except himself.
"on your marks."
"set."
Maybe the athletes around him also feel that Liu Xiang has suffered a serious injury, and maybe they have the opportunity to receive the "first blood" in the country after Liu Xiang became famous. Therefore, their expressions were somewhat overly excited and eager to try.
But unfortunately, as soon as the gunshot rang out, they should have known that even if Liu Xiang had just recovered and had not yet reached his peak, he could still face them, which was more than enough.
"Liu Xiang started smoothly, with only seven steps to start!"
"The first column has already won the first place!"
"Liu Xiang's startup has improved a lot."
Yang Jian also narrated Liu Xiang's classic battle, and it was his oral broadcast in the 2004 Olympic finals.
Naturally, I also have a soft spot for Liu Xiang.
When Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition in 2008, Yang Jian almost burst into tears.
It shows his emotion.
"Liu Xiang has already taken the lead in the first three columns."
“Continuously expand our advantages.”
“Continuously expand our advantages.”
"Liu Xiang has already surpassed the other athletes by several meters!"
"Almost a full hurdle ahead!"
"Liu Xiang crossed the last hurdle and finally released the final sprint of the shot by jogging."
"The final score was 13.65s."
"The wind speed is 1.1M/S."
"Liu Xiang looks little different from his peak in the preliminaries, and his recovery from injuries has also improved a lot." Yang Jian said: "As long as Liu Xiang still has 70% strength, then he can crush almost most players in the country." level of strength.”
"But everything depends on how he compares with several seeded players in the end. I hope every subsequent shot goes smoothly."
After Liu Xiang finished running, he moved his ankles. When he saw the people from the Xiangzhi team coming to ask nervously, he smiled and shook his head.
Um.
It feels good.
This may be Liu Xiang's inner monologue.
Running this race well in China, this first shot, may be more symbolic than a race abroad at the moment.
Seeing that Liu Xiang was performing well, Su Shen also said loudly in the inspection area:
"It's our turn."
"Everyone, please behave."
"Walk!"
"Go on."
