(Thanks to the book friend "Nishui Xi" for 1 monthly ticket and 3 recommendation tickets. I am very happy.)
When Jiang Yuan saw Xie Yu coming over, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Xie, you're here just in time. You can do starting exercises with me later."
Xie Yu: "Uh, okay, where are the others?"
Jiang Yuan: "It's holiday, of course I went shopping!"
Xie Yu did not continue to ask. Jiang Yuan probably became a little anxious after seeing the potential of the newcomer and gave himself more training.
He is 20 years old this year and has been training in short track speed skating for more than ten years. He was also a member of the youth team in Black Province.
Just because my performance had really reached a bottleneck, there was no way to qualify for the competition, and I didn't want to retire early, so I followed Coach Zheng to the newly established Qingcheng Short Track Speed Skating Team to continue training.
He considers himself a hard-working player with little talent, so he never dares to relax.
But sports competition is too cruel, which is the main reason why he later gave up his identity as an athlete and became a coach.
Xie Yu remembers that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jiang Yuan was already the head coach of the city's junior speed skating team and had won many honors.
Both of them used a five-meter-long rubber band, one end tied around their waists, and the other end connected to the strength equipment.
After opening the timer program downloaded on your phone, make the settings.
When the bell rang, Xie Yu moved his legs into an ice-point pose, raising his left arm flat on his chest and leaning his right arm back.
As soon as the electronic whistle sounded, Xie Yu kicked the ground with his right leg, stepped forward with his left leg, and strode forward.
As he ran further forward, the traction force from the rubber band tied to his abdomen became stronger, and the force of the rubber band almost pulled him back.
The whistle sounded again, and the two of them were immediately pulled back.
Just after taking a few breaths, the prompt sounded again, the action was ready, the whistle sounded, and it was another burst of repeated training.
Since, if you want to be a professional athlete, you must not be afraid of hardship.
It’s November in the blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder, but it’s also the time for athletes to perform well.
Although the Qingcheng short track speed skating team has been established for only one year and the above mentioned three years, the plan did not change quickly.
Everyone knows the "Northern Ice and South Exhibition" plan, plus the countdown to the 2002 Beijing Winter Olympics, the country's 300 million ice and snowman plan.
After short track speed skating teams have been established in other provinces and cities, not all sports teams want to train their own local athletes.
Most sports teams have chosen to recruit players from youth teams in the Northeast, hoping to achieve results early.
At the meeting, although the leaders did not mention pressure, their words all hinted at something.
Coach Zheng, who is correct and simple, naturally knows how to choose. With his connections, poaching people is very simple.
But as a sports person, Coach Zheng understands that this is undesirable, opportunistic, and inconsistent with the country's "Northern and Southern Expansion" expectations.
The facts turned out to be exactly what Coach Zheng expected. It wasn't long before the higher authorities stipulated that more than half of the participating team members must be "locals."
Of course, if this local person refers to someone who was naturalized with a local household registration five years ago, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
In fact, there are not many pure-blooded locals in the city's Qingcheng training team. Although most of them have local registered permanent residence, they just moved to the local area because of their parents' work.
For example, the original few old players were all transferred from roller skating teams in the city, but they had ice-skating experience in the Northeast when they were young.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed the roaring sound from the other side of the ice rink.
Coach Zheng immediately changed direction and walked towards the ice rink.
When I first arrived at the ice rink, I happened to see the small Xie Yuzheng and Hou Siyuan playing ice, which made Coach Zheng very angry.
He has said it several times before that athletes are strictly prohibited from competing on the ice without him. If an accident occurs...
Hey, what does Coach Zheng see? Xie Yu has been here for almost half a year, although he also thinks that this young man is talented and willing to endure hardships.
But he didn't expect that he would be able to keep up with his senior sister Hou Siyuan in terms of speed. You must know that he has brought Hou Siyuan here since he was a child and has been training professionally for ten years.
Seeing that Xie Yu could still find a loophole and be ready to surpass at any time, Coach Zheng put away the curse words he was about to say and started to look at it seriously.
However, the words of a team member next to him made him furious.
"Xie Yu is so hardworking!"
"It's a bet!"
"Senior Sister said that if she loses, she will be Xie Yu's girlfriend for a month. Can Xiao Xie not fight?"
The last lap bell rang and another corner was left.
Xie Yu finally saw an opportunity. The senior sister didn't want to lose. She didn't want to be a little kid's girlfriend for a month. Although the little kid might not understand anything, it was easy to talk but not nice.
So in this 1,000-meter temporary race with Xie Yu, she put in her best effort.
I just didn't expect that this kid who usually trains hard and keeps a low profile would actually skate very fast, and his technical proficiency is scary.
Hou Siyuan, who originally wanted to at least get rid of Xie Yu half a circle, found that he couldn't get rid of Xie Yu, and became even more anxious!
The rhythm was a bit messy, and my feet gradually lost strength.
Xie Yu finally saw an opportunity. When he came out of the corner again, Hou Siyuan didn't apply enough force and finally went off the inside track.
Chance!
Xie Yu immediately bent his legs to the side, turned his feet to increase strength, and bent his toes inward. This feeling was so wonderful.
A feeling of freedom came to Xie Yu's heart. Has this sense of ice evolved?
However, before Xie Yu could enjoy this moment, he suddenly felt that the senior sister's situation was not very good and immediately slowed down.
Senior sister Hou Siyuan was indeed overtaken by Xie Yu suddenly, and her legs could not keep up, so the trajectory of her skates was a little deviated and she almost fell. Fortunately, she had a good foundation and managed to make it through.
Suddenly seeing Xie Yu's speed slowing down, the senior sister gritted her teeth and rushed forward. While Xie Yu was shocked, she crossed the finish line first.
After skating slowly for half a circle, the two regained their breath.
Senior sister Hou Siyuan turned to Xie Yu and said, "Junior brother, I want to teach you to be a good boy. You can't..."
Suddenly seeing something, Hou Siyuan shouted loudly: "Hello, coach!"
Everyone came to their senses.
Coach Zheng looked at Xie Yu strangely, and then shouted: "You bunch of unsatisfactory brats, are you going to turn things upside down while I'm not around?"
Everyone has doubled their training today. After Hou Siyuan and Xie Yu complete their training, they will sharpen the skates for your dear team members.
After saying that, he let everyone go and do what they were doing. In fact, he quickly walked to the team member who was ringing the timer and asked for some data about the two people's game.
Although he didn't time it, the coach's intuition told him that he was the winner in this illegal competition.
Sure enough, after getting the data, he laughed in his heart.
Hou Siyuan's 1000 race can barely touch the one minute and forty seconds standard for women's first-level sports.
But it is always difficult to break through, not because of a lack of technique, but because of a mentality problem. The harder it is to improve the performance, the more conservative the skating method becomes. It can be said that the older you get, the less courage you have.
This time, because of the bet with Xie Yu, it actually slipped to within one minute and thirty-eight seconds. Although it was a manual calculation, it would not be so accurate, but at this level, after 1,000 meters, it was possible to improve the performance by more than two seconds. It's good enough that it has broken through a bottleneck.
And Xie Yu, a child, is even more remarkable. According to the ID card, he is only 16 years old in three months, and he has reached the speed of reaching the standard of male second-level athletes. His potential is amazing!
It was just the final concession that made Coach Zheng raise his eyebrows. Didn't he have the desire to win? This is not a good sign. If athletes don’t have a desire to win, then what...?
Suddenly, I found a city invitation to the provincial and municipal U16 short track speed skating grand prix. Xie Yu is qualified to participate based on his current age and level!
If he can win a medal, it will not only be a kind of training for Xie Yu, but also an achievement for his guidance work. Seeing that it is time for the veteran players to change their skates, the funds...
Doubled the amount of training, coupled with the sharpening of useless hands, Xie Yu rarely shivered and lay down on the bed. He didn't wash up, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.
However, because of his physical talent, he recovered as soon as he woke up.
However, during morning training, Coach Zheng asked Xie Yu and Hou Siyuan to apologize in person, and then asked Xie Yu and Hou Siyuan to stay.
Then, he started talking about the technical mistakes made by the two of them yesterday.
Hou Siyuan was also very happy when he heard that his 1,000-meter speed skating time improved by two seconds.
He hugged Xie Yu directly, which made Xie Yu feel a little embarrassed.
However, Coach Zheng teased the bet between the two and said that if Xie Yu hadn't slowed down because she thought Hou Siyuan might be injured, she wouldn't have won at all.
Of course, Coach Zheng also pointed out Xie Yu's mistake, which is that he does not have a strong desire to win. If Xie Yu wants his teammates to fall beside him in the future, he should not care about the goal being the finish line.
Xie Yu naturally understood this, but it was just for internal training and competition, so there was no need to be so serious.
Of course, he said he would accept the lesson.
The main force has already left, so the two of them can only go for a morning jog together.
After running for a while, I saw no one around.
Hou Siyuan said: "Junior brother, there is no need for you to give in. Even if I lose this time, I will fulfill my promise to be your girlfriend for a month. However, this matter is kept secret and no one else can know."
Xie Yugang wanted to retort politely, after all, the actual situation was true, but he did not say it out loud. After all, he would not suffer in this matter.
Xie Yu: "It's still you, senior sister, be happy, okay, from today on, I, Xie Yu, also have a girlfriend, I am not single."
Seeing Xie Yu's cheerful expression, Hou Siyuan also smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? It only takes a month, just a month."
Xie Yu rolled his eyes and said: "A month is thirty days, seven hundred and twenty hours, and forty-three thousand two hundred minutes. Let's pass it by the minute. It's the time of boyfriend and girlfriend, not the time of boyfriend and girlfriend." When the timer stops, it can last for a long time.”
Hou Siyuan was shocked and said: "It can still be calculated like this, but no, at most it will be calculated on a daily basis."
Xie Yu immediately said: "Okay, then let's calculate it according to heaven."
Only then did Hou Siyuan react. After kicking Xie Yu, he said: "You elf, I still fell into your trap!"
Xie Yu: "Then you won't regret it!"
Hou Siyuan glanced at her and said, "Why regret it? This girl does what she says. I really didn't expect to be tricked by a little brat like you."
"How do you start counting from now on?"
Xie Yu looked at his watch and said: "It's now six forty-three in the morning. I'm here for three days first. Senior sister, please let me have my girlfriend for three days first and see how things go. If appropriate, I'll continue to count the time."
Hou Siyuan asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by appropriate words?"
Xie Yu: "I am a human, not a cow. Don't you want me to rest?"
Hou Siyuan still didn't react, so Xie Yu continued: "Since I am your boyfriend, now, senior sister, come and call me husband!"
The senior sister frowned and opened her mouth, and finally said: "I can't scream!"
Xie Yu: "It's okay, I'll get used to it gradually!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, they were so young!
A few days later, Coach Zheng called Xie Yu to the office and handed Xie Yu an application form for the Three-Province Joint Youth U16 Invitational Tournament.
Xie Yu took a look at the registration form and said, "This..."
Coach Zheng said expressionlessly: "If you want to become a high-level athlete, just training is not enough. The most important thing is to participate in competitions and achieve results. If you participate in the U16 at your current level, you will be qualified."
"However, since you are participating, you are thinking about competing for medals. Only with medals and results can I apply for the athlete level, and only then can I ask for subsidies."
Xie Yu nodded without hesitation. After selecting the 500-meter and 1,000-meter racing events, he signed his name.
Seeing Xie Yu fill out the form, Coach Zheng said with a gentler attitude: "Okay, go out, and call your senior brother over by the way!"
Xie Yu replied: "I know" and slipped away!
Xie Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited when she participated in a competition after her rebirth. She went to celebrate with her temporary girlfriend first.
Who knew, Hou Siyuan shook the registration form in his hand, well, he felt that he was at a level that focused on participation.
Feeling the vitality of participating again, Xie Yu took a deep breath, knowing that a new beginning was coming.
Five days later, Quancheng!
Looking at the list of participants, I didn’t expect that for the first time I reported the competition, there were more than 60 U16 participants. Although it was definitely not as good as the three eastern provinces, the organizing committee already thought it was OK.
The U16 participants are basically freshmen from provincial and municipal teams and young talents cultivated by various clubs.
It can be said that except for a few Xie Yu, everyone has known teammates who can cooperate. You must know that in the single event of short track speed skating, when there are teammates during the game, different tactics will be used to cooperate.
In addition, hearing the Northeastern accent that was not in line with the local style, Xie Yu felt that this should be taken more seriously.
The college entrance examination immigrants knew that the sports students also immigrated and finally saw it.
Although there are regulations above, there are naturally ways to deal with them below. For example, some short-track speed skating teams formed temporarily in the mainland, and if they want to achieve results quickly, they choose to go to the Northeast to recruit people. It is normal.
But in order to participate in the competition, they deliberately recruited ethnic minority athletes, such as Korean athletes and Oroqen athletes, and they were thoughtful enough. After all, the country's policy towards ethnic minorities...
Sometimes Xie Yuzhen feels that the Han people are the vulnerable group.
Not much to say, according to the allocation of the organizing committee, Xie Yu was selected into the third group of the preliminaries for the 500 events. There were six participants in each group. The top two were promoted to Group A and participated in the subsequent promotion competition. Three people advance to Group B to participate in the promotion round, and the last three people are directly eliminated.
Generally speaking, in formal competitions, the difference between Group A and Group B is that the results of Group B are only timed and not scored. Only participants in Group A have special circumstances, such as fouls and penalties, collisions and loss of the ability to continue the game. Down.
Only those in Group B can be substitutes, calculate the results and rank on the podium!
But here, in order to give the contestants more opportunities, the losing third place in each group will enter Group B and then play one more game. The top two selected this time will get the same prize as the winner of Group A. Get a chance to participate in the semi-finals.
