The IAAF Indoor Championships in Yangcheng begins.
Athletes came out of the five-star hotel and began to gather towards the stadium.
There were nine events on the first day. Su Shen remembered clearly that this year all the women passed the preliminaries, while the men... were completely wiped out.
There is no reason. If you don't perform as well as others, you can only accept the fate of being eliminated.
This is track and field, it’s so cruel.
Men's shot put player Zhang Jun broke the national record not long ago, but after a few days he was completely out of shape. His score on the first throw was 18.51 meters, but there was no score for fouls on the second and third throws. As a result, the national record holder unfortunately stopped in the first round. This made many people feel uproar. After all, the name of the national record holder is still very loud. You represent the strongest in the country. The result of the competition is like this, which is hard to accept. It's not that I can't accept you not winning the championship, but at least you have to make it to the finals.
The first round of the preliminaries really made the audience feel a bit "unexpected".
Yang Yansheng, who had just broken the national record, came to Yangcheng with the national indoor pole vault record, but similar to Zhang Jun of Shaangma, he completely failed to perform to his expected level. At a height of 5.45 meters, he failed three times, which was 33 centimeters short of the new national record he set. Isn't this feeling so familiar?
】
After performing well at home, a new player was immediately replaced in the competition.
That's the biggest problem with the track and field team right now.
In fact, if you look at the results of many of our events, as long as we perform at the domestic level, we are at least guaranteed to reach the finals. Unfortunately, we cannot perform well on the intercontinental and international stages. These problems are definitely not simple psychological quality problems, there are many other factors.
If you look at sprinting, it has gradually come out of this vicious circle.
There is no other way, just go out, invite people in, and deal with it scientifically.
Doing these three points well is enough to ensure that all types of stages can perform normally. Li Yanxi, the long jump superman who had high hopes, also broke the national record and even the Asian record. However... his performance was still very unstable. He only ranked ninth with a score of 16.54 meters and failed to reach the finals. This made him even more frustrated. What is frustrating is that it is only a meager 0.01 meters away from the final gate. And with this achievement, he could easily jump over a long distance when he was in China.
The first jump of the three jumps was only 16.36 meters, but he was still lucky to be among the top eight. Subsequently, Li Yan's performance continued to fluctuate, and his ranking continued to decline. In the subsequent two jumps, Li Yanxi jumped 16.31 meters and 16.54 meters respectively, especially the last jump which was only 0.01 meters away from the eighth place player.
As China's number one expert in this event, Li Yanxi shoulders the ardent expectations of winning medals. In recent years, its performance of breaking Asian records and national records has given it full confidence. But who would have thought that this player with the ability to compete for cards would eventually fail in the preliminaries.
This was so frustrating that many viewers thought they had bought the wrong tickets.
How come today's men's national record holder has a complete round trip? ? ?
How can you accept this if you ask Yangcheng’s home audience?
Not to mention that the audience was confused, even Yu Toyoki and Yu Weili on the sidelines were also confused.
What is this?
I originally thought that with so many national record creators coming this time, at least all the events would be guaranteed finals. Not to mention medals, there would be no problem with guaranteed finals. Now it would be better... tell him directly about the "national record holder army", almost. completely annihilated? ? ?
How can I bear this?
Isamu Toyoki put a lot of effort into this competition. He originally wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone was in good condition and all sports were reaching new highs to make a big move. However, the result was disappointing.
These huge posters of national record holders look particularly dazzling at the scene.
"Director Feng, don't be angry. There are sprints and sprints in the afternoon." Yu Weili knew that Feng Shuyong couldn't hold it anymore, so he immediately comforted him.
To be honest, if he were the head coach, this scene would explode.
Aren’t these results supposed to be results that can be obtained easily during training? Now what the hell is this?
Everyone is acting, right?
It took Toyoshu Yong several minutes to recover, but his expression was still ugly, and he snorted coldly: "Call everyone over at noon for a group meeting."
"I want to see what kind of trick this is."
"Everyone was talking loudly before the game. Now, let's have a meeting and let them all come."
"No one is allowed to be late."
…
After lunch, the track and field team participants and coaching staff all arrived in the large conference room.
As soon as you enter, you can see Yu Toyoki's stern face.
In fact, no one dared to say a word, because almost all of these people were eliminated and they really couldn't speak.
If you say so, you will still act like a standout.
Forget it.
Just keep your head down and get scolded.
And when Toyoki Isamu saw that no one said a word, he suddenly became angry. He hit the table in front of him with his right hand, almost knocking off the lid of the teacup on it: "Everyone is mute. They weren't before." There is definitely no problem in the finals, at least we want to compete for medals?”
"In the past, when we were not competing in the World Series at home, you could make excuses, saying that the food, weather, and climate were not suitable for you. Are you going to say the same thing now when you are a flower grower?"
"What about your skills during the National Games? If you look at the posters outside, they are all national record holders. You are so embarrassed."
There was collective silence.
After a while, an old coach said: "Director Feng, it has always been a common practice to perform poorly in competitions. It's not just us, but it's also the case in Japan."
"You have the kindness to talk about Japan?" Hearing this, Toyoki Yong became even more angry and said: "This is not before the 21st century. Now Japan is not the leader of Asian track and field. We are. In these events, which one of us is not better than Japan?" I want to be strong???"
"It's just that the venue is not suitable for me." Some people were a little aggrieved.
"You are still not used to growing flowers at home, how about we move the competition downstairs for you to compete?" Yu Toyoki almost went berserk. It's not that he couldn't accept elimination, but he was eliminated in the first round, and he just broke the national record. holder, he really broke through the psychological defense line.
"Where's the sprint team? Where's the sprint team? Are they here?" asked Toyoki Isamu.
"They will be there soon. They have to come over after dinner. After all, there is a game in the afternoon." Yu Weili said.
"Yes." After waiting for a while, the door was pushed open. The atmosphere outside was relatively relaxed just now, but as soon as they came in, everyone felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Tian, this atmosphere is a bit heavy." Wen Yongyi whispered.
"Guessed it." Su Shen was not surprised. The situation was obviously good this time, but the result was like this, which was annoying.
You feel it more clearly in the position of Yu Toyoki.
"What shall we say later?" Now everyone used Su Shen as the backbone and looked over.
"Tell the truth." After Su Shen finished speaking, he followed them in. A few minutes later, the short team also came, and Liu Xiang and the others entered.
Then everyone arrived.
Oh, by the way, there wasn’t a single female athlete present.
It can be seen that this time, it is aimed at male athletes.
"What are your plans for the afternoon game?" Yu Toyoki's tone was better than before, but it was obviously still a lot worse than usual. The emotional ups and downs had not completely subsided, which made these people angry.
"Advanced in the afternoon, and we will have a good competition in the semi-finals and finals tomorrow night." After Su Shen finished speaking, Zhang Peimeng and Wen Yongyi nodded.
Because they have the same plan, their strength is good, there is no need to waste it ahead.
This is also the most popular regular competition method of the Su Shen system.
This year the indoor competition has also been changed to a format where the semi-finals and finals are combined, which lasts only 2 hours.
This is also a test of physical fitness and distribution.
"We are about the same. Liu Xiang won't use too much force in front to avoid injury." Sun Haiping also said.
"It won't be a round trip, right?" Yu Toyoki said loudly on purpose, as if he wanted to tell everyone in the room to hear it.
"How is that possible?" Sun Haiping immediately denied: "It's impossible to compete with your eyes closed. Even Dashi is a national champion, how can he not be eliminated in the first round?"
"How is it impossible?" Yu Toyoki used the topic to criticize the others: "Don't talk about the national championship level, I think it's hard to say even the national record level. Aren't there just a few national record holders in the field?"
Forehead.
It's hard for Sun Haiping to say this. If he talks too much, he will appear to be "inciting hatred", so it is better to remain silent.
"I'm not talking about you. If all of you men are eliminated, let's see how you hold your head up in front of the female team members in the future." After Yu Toyoshu finished speaking, he looked at Su Shen and Liu Xiang and said, "Don't be nervous, your opponents are much stronger than them. We are all top players in the world. If you don’t compete, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a gold medal. Just make it to the finals.”
"It's like this now anyway, just don't go on a round trip."
…
The meeting was very short, and then Dash and Dash were sent out. They didn't know what Toyoki Yuu was going to say next.
But when all these people appeared on the scene with Toyoshu Isamu in the afternoon, Su Shen knew that this was a wave of direct education that Toyoshu Isamu wanted to give them.
Tell them and see how others compare.
You are all national record holders, why can't you do it? It's not that you didn't perform well, it's just that your performance was too poor.
Yu Toyoki was busy working on this competition, and he was really angry.
We must come together, no one is allowed to be absent.
It is naturally best to speak with facts, otherwise these coaches will be too old-fashioned, and it will be meaningless to go in one ear and out the other. He really wants to advance the track and field career of the flower grower.
The short span starts first.
In the first group, the American star Oliver, who is known for his explosive power, took the lead from the moment he crossed the starting line and crossed the finish line first in 7.60 seconds. Another American player, Trammell, appeared in the second group. His strength was obviously higher than that of the players in the same group. Although an athlete jumped the gun in the first shot, the experienced Trammell was not affected at all. He ranked first in the group with a time of 7.60 seconds and successfully advanced.
Shi Dongpeng and Xie Wenjun reached the semi-finals. Although they did not take advantage of the international competition, there were still no problems in the preliminaries.
It was Liu Xiang's turn, ranked sixth in Group 3. His opponents in the same group included Russian Borisov, Czech player Martin, Swedish player Noseman and German player Schwarzer. Liu Xiang entered the arena in a long suit and trousers. The red top was particularly eye-catching. He has become more and more accustomed to the new jersey of Su Shen Laboratory, and with the bright red color of the boots, it looked particularly eye-catching. Before taking to the track, Liu Xiang took off his long sleeves and put on his iconic red competition uniform.
At this time, many Yangcheng people in the audience held the five-star red flag and shouted "Come on Liu Xiang".
Before firing the gun, Liu Xiang looked very calm, less youthful than before, and his facial expression was calm with a hint of murderous intent. When the announcer read out his name, there was again warm applause and cheers.
"on your marks." (Everyone is in position)
After getting on the starting block, Liu Xiang stood up and made a "shh" gesture to signal everyone to be quiet because the shouts of the audience affected the athletes' listening, and then got on the starting block again. In fact, even Su Shen now, except for being super pressurized, is too enthusiastic at home, so he must make this gesture to keep everyone quiet, so as not to affect the listening of the gun.
This is also a sign of how popular a domestic track and field athlete is.
"set." (preparation)
After the starting gun sounded, Liu Xiang's starting reaction time was 0.219 seconds, ranking third among the six players. The preliminaries were generally not fast.
Liu Xiang's first shot was also customary and he didn't use any force.
However, compared to his original timeline, he didn't dare to exert force, but it was much better, and he passed the hurdles easily.
One, two, three, four, add up the speed, and then slow down.
The final sprint almost completely lost speed, with 7.70 seconds, and the first place in the group advanced.
After finishing his run, he immediately sat down on the ground, quickly untied his shoelaces, and checked the position of his Achilles tendon. This is a newly developed habit, and then immediately arrange massage and physical therapy according to the body's response. Liu Xiang is no longer able to sprint across the field and accept cheers after running like he did back then. Now he pays attention to injuries first.
At least until the end of the London Olympics.
Nothing can go wrong.
As for what the outside world thinks of his actions, he no longer cares much.
In the viewing area on the sidelines, Togeju Yong led a group of people to watch and said: "People can easily recover from injuries, why can't you? You are saying that you can't adapt, if you don't adapt, you will be the whole country. An excuse for the record holder to take a round trip?”
"Both are national record holders, why is there such a big gap?"
"Director Feng...he, the national record holder, is also the world record holder." Someone complained, obviously aggrieved.
But Yu Toyoshu was not used to it and said: "When Liu Xiang first won the national record, he had never swam in a round."
"Look, doesn't sprinting require more physical strength than you do? Look at what another national record holder does."
"Let's see if others will take a tour like you."
ps: It is a fact that the entire army was wiped out and the national record holders were eliminated in the first round. Think about it, it is really unbelievable. It is indeed too difficult for Feng to guide. If you were in the position of Feng's coach, you would probably be so angry that your lungs would be dancing when you look at a large group of national record-setters.
