Born to Run - Chapter 556
After returning to the Chinese team from the Olympic Stadium, Ye Qin and Zhang Peimeng first had a nutritious meal, and then under the leadership of Zhuang Wei and another physiotherapist who accompanied the team, they performed in the resident lounge. Muscle massage to relax.
“The rematch in the evening is a bit difficult!”
Zhang Peimeng was cooperating with the physical therapist to soothe some tense leg muscles, but on the other hand he frowned deeply, and his reputation revealed concerns about the night game.
“The preliminaries are a big screening. In the semi-finals, I think if you can run almost your usual best result, you still have a chance.”
Ye Qin thought for a moment next to him, then turned to Zhang Peimeng.
The mentality of this year’s World Championships and the previous World Championships Olympic Games are actually different. When it comes to results and discussions about promotion, there is no longer any need to cover up, and they can speak calmly and openly.
“Can you advance in 10 seconds and 20?” Zhang Peimeng raised his head and looked at Ye Qin.
Ye Qin nodded, “There is a high probability that there is a chance. I’m not afraid that the players in the group you meet have better results. If you can’t get the top three, it is still a bit dangerous.”
“Try it as much as possible.” Zhang Peimeng breathed a sigh of relief. After participating in so many competitions, in fact, he still has a bottom line about his current level.
In the morning, he ran for 10.40 seconds, which was the third qualifying rematch for the group. However, in the preliminary rounds, the outstanding players are basically reserved to a large extent.
But when it comes to the semifinals, everyone will basically improve their speed and give priority to qualifying.
He himself probably understands that if he wants to get the chance to advance to the semi-finals, he probably needs to run 10 seconds 15 to 10 seconds 20. This is his current best result, and he needs to go all out to fight it.
In the past few years, the national team has spared no effort in training Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian. Also, because of competition, his performance has improved quite satisfactorily.
During the training, I ran into the Dianji 10 seconds 20 times a lot, but in the end it was still not stable enough. It was still difficult to really win the semifinals.
“Pei Meng, just go all out!”
Zhuang Wei looked at the two who had just spoken, stretched out his hand and gently patted the trapezius muscle above his shoulder, “I don’t even talk about Ye Qin these years. You are Su Bingtian, Lu Bin and the others. I think they are a new generation. It really rises in the sprint.”
“Master Zhuang, you can’t let me relax.”
Zhang Peimeng smiled, “I just have to be under pressure so that I won’t relax. If you decompress me, do you believe it or not when I play for you for 11 seconds?”
“Hey, you kid.” Zhuang Wei grinned, “I don’t care if you run for 11 seconds. I see how you can explain to Director Yuan and Director Li when you turn around.”
“They definitely don’t talk about me.”
Zhang Peimeng shook his head slightly, and said silently in his heart.
The competition pressure in the national team’s sprint event is still not small. After Yang Yao retired, he is almost now the second person under Ye Qin.
For his goal of this World Championship is actually to enter the semi-finals, neither the relay team’s head coach Yuan Guohua nor his own coach, Li Qi, have any requirements.
It can even be said that Yeqin is standing in front like the sun, and these little stars are basically not noticed.
But my heart is always unwilling.
From the beginning of sports to the present, his goals have been changing along the way.
It’s not that he wants to change, but seeing the progress of his fellow teammates, he has to follow to change.
“Strive to run for 10 seconds before retiring, and be able to participate in the semi-finals of the Olympics or World Championships, not the finals. This is my goal.
Zhang Peimeng looked at the lounge next to him, Zhuang Wei and another physical therapist, after a simple muscle relaxation for the two of them, quietly walked out.
On the massage bed beside him, Ye Qin closed his eyes and took a nap, then let go of the chaotic thoughts and closed his eyes.
…
A track and field stadium outside the Chinese team’s residence was originally supposed to be a facility in a nearby school. Because of the World Championships, it was requisitioned by the organizing committee and used as a training venue for many participating countries.
At this time, a figure was on the track and field, impatiently doing starting training again and again.
“Bing Tian, take a break! Don’t overdo it!”
Standing next to him, Gu Kai, panting with his hands on his hips, beckoned to Su Bingtian on the runway.
“I have two more trips, and it’s over when I finish running!”
Su Bingtian waved his hand, did not walk to the sidelines like Gu Kai, but continued to the starting line.
Both feet slightly adjusted the starting posture, seeming to be chanting the password silently in his heart, and then suddenly burst from the starting line and rushed out towards the runway.
“I’m convinced, he tried too hard!”
Standing aside, Lu Bin, who was sweating all over, shook his head, and said with some sigh.
Lu Bin was about the same age as Ye Qinzhang and Pei Mengdu. In 2007, he was selected for the national team training, and then returned to the local team to train. In 2008, he used the opportunity to be selected for the men’s 4×100m relay team. The team’s lineup is already very good, and he didn’t go further.
This year, because of Yang Yao’s retirement, he entered the men’s 4×100m relay team as a substitute. At the level, Lu Bin’s performance is about the same as Su Bingtian, about 10 seconds 25 to 10 seconds 30.
Gu Kai took a sigh of relief and smiled beside him, “After Bing Tian was Ye Qin, I have seen the most self-disciplined athlete.”
It has not been a few years since Su Bingtian entered the national team, but he has almost been recognized by many coaches and athletes.
The talent shown by Su Bingtian is one aspect. He was brought into the national team by coach Yuan Guohua. But what really makes everyone look at him differently is Su Bingtian’s self-discipline and diligence.
In this regard, Su Bingtian and Ye Qin are very similar. They have set goals and intensified, and they are almost full-hearted to achieve them, and spare no effort.
And training when it’s time to train, rest when it’s time to rest, all kinds of plans are made to death.
Even many coaches feel that if this plan continues to develop, Su Bingtian may be able to reach the age of 30, and his grades are still going up.
For example, now in the official competition of the World Championships, Su Bingtian, as the first ball of the Chinese team’s 4×100m relay, is constantly training his start and handover almost every day.
Moreover, because they participated in the relay race, there were only two games from the preliminary to the final. With such a competition intensity, now maintaining the training rhythm, after all, it really won’t have much impact on the body.
“Brother Kai, I heard that you are going to retire?”
Lu Bin looked at Gu Kai next to him, suddenly remembered a news he had heard before, and asked with a smile.
“I’m thinking about it. Maybe after participating in this year’s National Games, I should be able to settle down by then. The main thing is that I have not made much progress in the past few years, and your new generation of players are getting stronger and stronger.”
Gu Kai nodded, his tone seemed to be a little helpless. He was born in 1982, and he has entered the middle and late stages of sprinters in his age. In fact, there is no problem in continuing to run for a few years.
The key is that his achievements in recent years have not taken too many steps. Basically, from 2005 to now, the results are almost stuck there. Generally speaking, it should be that the talent has reached the top.
When Yaoxiang participated in the special recruitment of Mizuki University, the first starting gun sounded, and everyone else ran out quickly. He kicked off the running aid, and the person was still on the spot.
Fortunately, he later asked the coach to give him another chance, and it was this opportunity that allowed him to get the qualification to run into Mizuki University.
Since then, he has officially embarked on the sprint road.
At last year’s Eye Olympics, he tried his best to run the men’s 100 meters, but this time the World Championships were still a bit short. In addition, at his age, he has to start thinking about the future.
Marriage, work, think about this, sometimes looking at the young teammates around him, he can’t help feeling envious.
Young is really good!
…
At night, the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
After the men’s 1500m preliminaries, the entire arena once again ushered in this world championships rematch, the men’s 100m rematch.
As the most watched event in track and field competitions, the men’s 100 meters, even if it is just a rematch, attracted enough spectators.
In the media commentary, Mu Jiang, the commentator of Channel Five, had already sat there early, waiting for the start of the game tonight.
In the morning men’s 100-meter preliminaries, because of the excessive number of games and the coordination of the broadcast, the CCTV5 channel did not broadcast it, because this has caused a large number of audience dissatisfaction.
In this rematch in the evening, no matter how the Central Five Channel cannot be absent, it is not only because of the demands of the audience, but also because of the strongest events and top athletes in China’s track and field.
Even if it was just a rematch, it was awkward. It started at 18:50 local time in Berlin, and it was already 1:50 am domestic time. But at this moment, there are still many spectators sitting in front of the TV watching the game.
Ye Qin in the men’s 100-meter semi-final is in the second group and Zhang Peimeng is in the fourth group. It is worth looking forward to the fact that two Chinese players can participate in the personal events of the World Championships.
Especially for Yeqin’s game, at this time, for many people in China, it is the biggest regret that they can’t go to the scene to support. The time spent staying up late to watch track and field matches can be much faster than other football games.
At 18:50 in the evening, Yeqin and other competitors from the same group appeared in front of the men’s 100-meter starting line of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
In the stadium where the lights were already on, bursts of howling like a storm sounded in an instant.
Fanatic track and field fans shouted Ye Qin’s name on the sidelines, this is the treatment given to the world’s trapeze, cheered him, and expected him to create better results on the field.
Waved to the audience, Ye Qin quickly recovered his inner peace.
Such scenes have become more and more common for him. He will be happy because the audience likes himself, but it is clearer that the reason why he can win these cheers is first of all because he won the game.
In this group of rematches, the lineup of players is obviously much stronger than in the preliminaries, not only the veteran British star David Chambers, but also the American player Michael Rogers and the French player Martial Mbanchok. Waiting for athletes with good strength.
Just as the first group of men’s 100-meter semi-match is about to begin, at this time, in a dormitory of the Jiangnan Sports School in Linzhou, China, an old and a young are sitting in front of the TV, watching what appears on the TV screen. Yeqin.
The young man groped his chin, looked at the faces of the athletes in the camera, and suddenly asked the old people around him: “Master, how much do you think Yechin will run in the quarter-finals?”
“About 10 seconds.” The old man rubbed his tired eyes, as if he was a little uncomfortable because of staying up late, he replied slowly.
“It’s really amazing, I don’t know when I can run to 10 seconds!” The young man said with some sigh.
“Then you have to come on!” The old man smiled, “Yep Chin may not be as good as you at your age, but his growth ceiling is high, and his training path is different from our traditional sports school.”
“Well, I must work harder! Master, Ye Qin actually came to watch my game specially… You don’t know how much influence Ye Qin has abroad. I used to think that the report was false. Only after I saw it, many foreign athletes knew Ye Qin, and he was an idol.”
“Of course.” The old man smiled softly, “100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, can monopolize the world records of two events, two world championships men’s 200 meters champion, if such a person has not been so. With great influence, what kind of track and field we still do, then track and field is really no way out.”
“Then Master, when will I be able to run 100 meters?”
“Wait…” The old man looked at the young man’s eager face and shook his head, “Xie Zheng, you are now studying like your idol. He didn’t run 200 meters at the beginning, but he got the 200 meters. After the world championship, you only started to compete in the 100 meters. You should strive to break through 21 seconds… wait a minute…”
When the old man was halfway talking, his voice suddenly stopped.
On the TV screen, the man’s 100-meter seat password has sounded.
Both of them stared at the TV screen at the same time, quietly waiting for the gunshots of the upcoming game.
Snapped!
Clear gunfire came from the speakers on the TV screen.
And when the gunshot sounded, it was probably due to the delay of the transmission signal. In the screen, eight players had already rushed out of the starting line.
Xie Zheng clenched his fists lightly and stared at Ye Qin, who was wearing a red sprint suit in the middle, with an expression of excitement.
The old man also showed a solemn expression, but soon, his frowned brows relaxed.
After just fifty meters, the red figure that was running had already ran ahead, and dashed all the way, crossing the finish line first.
In the timing box at the bottom right of the TV screen, the results of this group of games also appeared in front of them.
9 seconds 98!
“Awesome!”
Xie Zheng looked at the results that jumped out and couldn’t help but yelled.
The old man followed and nodded, the world’s first strength is indeed amazing.
Based on his decades of coaching experience, it can be clearly seen that Ye Qin did not take much effort in this re-run. The next ten meters is inertia.
But even so, it easily ran into 10 seconds!
“Okay, almost done, go to bed, it’s two o’clock!”
After watching the men’s 100-meter semi-match, the old man stood up from his position and said to Xie Zheng, who was still a little excited.
“Master, there are others in the back, Zhang Peimeng, Youssé Bot, Jason Gaby, they haven’t watched the game yet.”
“They will watch it tomorrow. Whether Zhang Peimeng can advance depends on luck. As for Youssé Bot and Jason Gaby, they are probably about the same as Yechin. Just wait for the semi-finals and finals tomorrow. Go to bed! “The old man continued to urge.
“Oh, okay!” Xie Zheng was a little unwilling, but he looked at his grey-haired coach and nodded.
After all, the time has come to two o’clock in the morning ~www.mtlnovel.com~ It doesn’t matter if he is young, but the coach is old, and it is not easy to be willing to watch this game with him.
After Xie Zheng left, the old man did not turn off the TV. Instead, he sat back and looked at the TV screen.
The game continued, but his heart drifted away.
“It seems that Xie Zheng will go to the national team next year. There is a lot of competition there, but competition can only grow.”
The old man’s name is Tao Jianglong. He is the coach of the Jiangnan Provincial Team and the current coach in charge of Xie Zheng.
According to his age, Xie Zheng is almost the last athlete he brought before retirement. He has always wanted the opponent to continue to train for a while under his hands.
However, looking at the performance of the new generation of young athletes on the field, he felt that he might still have to be released.
When Xie Zheng was able to come into his eyes, it was the recommendation of an old retired national team coach. At that time, he saw Xie Zheng in the past and the performance of the other party was not outstanding. The family is not a track and field family or a sports family, just a Ordinary teenager.
However, Tao Jianglong looked at his young age, only 14 years old, and his physical conditions were okay, so he was included under his command. After several years of training, Xie Zheng has gradually grown up under his hands.
The last time coach Yuan of the national team called him, he wanted to train him as a reserve talent for the relay team, but he refused. However, thinking about it now, he still has to let him go.
Shallow water can’t breed dragons. In recent years, many domestic coaches have been analyzing Ye Qin, why he can get to the point where he is today, leaving Ye Qin’s personal talent aside, it is just the way of training.
It’s better to let out the time. From the World Junior Championships to the World Youth Championships, and then to various world-class competitions, young athletes can only have better career development if they broaden their horizons and set goals.
