Run Out of My Life - Chapter 380
August 2, 2008.
The opening of the Olympic Games is getting closer and closer, and the entire imperial capital and even the country are beginning to prepare for this grand festival.
Whether it is newspapers, TV, or the Internet, the topics of discussion have begun to revolve around the Olympic Games and various sports news.
Various gold medal highlights before the game, experts from all over the world analyzed, if spinach is not banned in China, at this time, the market for each item has been opened.
At this time, the atmosphere in the training base of the State Sports General Administration is getting more and more tense.
Yang Guangzong stood on the side of the track and field and looked at the few people on the track who were practicing relays, his expression was a little dazed. The weather in the imperial capital in July and August was already very hot, even if he just stood in the sun for a while, he felt sweaty.
The people on the runway were soaked all over, almost like they were fished out of water.
Scenes like this, inadvertently reminded him of himself 4 years ago, under the hot sun, in the breeze, in the drizzle, they also worked so hard to train.
The footsteps rang out for a while, Su Zu gasped and left the runway, beckoning to Yang Guangzong from a distance, “Brother Guangzong, why are you here?”
Yang Guangzong was not with the relay team at the Beijing Sports University training base. The two sides were separated by some distance. Because of the approaching Olympic Games, the track and field teams of some countries have already mentioned that they have come to the imperial capital to start adaptive training on the venue.
“Adjusting for a day off, the coach asked me to soothe my muscles, and I have nowhere to go. Come and walk with you.” Yang Guangzong smiled. The 400-meter training run is better than one or two. 100 meters is still tiring, and running ultra-distance can be exhausting without a few trips a day.
After his injury, he did not follow the principle of “three from one big” in training in the United States, but flexibly adjusted the training intensity and time according to the characteristics of his body.
“We’ll have a few more days of high-intensity training, and then we’ll reduce the amount of exercise and start to adjust rest.”
Su Zu held his knees and sighed, it was the end of July, and the Olympic Games were only a week away, but the track and field competitions will start almost on August 15th, so there is enough room left. give the athletes time to adjust.
This is the advantage of the Olympic Games in your own country. You can flexibly arrange the preparations before the games according to the schedule time. The village is connected to the site, and there are even issues such as adaptation to the climate, soil, and diet.
I usually watch the Olympic Games, and everyone can always find a feature, that is, the national performance of the Olympic Games will be particularly good. home factor.
The top athletes who can compete for the championship are all top athletes. Under the condition that the strength is not much different, there are often a little weak adaptability problems, and the physical and mental states will be different, resulting in the final gold medal attribution are also different.
“The time to reach the Olympic standard is about to end. I only have an A standard for 400 meters. How about one or two hundred meters on your side?”
Yang Guangzong asked, although he used to be the eldest brother in the track and field team, but the speed of change in track and field is astonishingly fast. After he left for a few years, he lost contact with many people and became acquainted There are not many athletes, and they are not very clear about the men’s 100-meter or 200-meter standards.
“Only Zhang Peimeng.”
Su Zuzhi got up and turned to look at the few people who were still doing handover exercises on the track and field, “Wen Yongyi ran for 10 seconds 28 in this month’s Universiade, and only got the B mark. Su Bingtian He was still young, and his best time was 10.31. Zhang Peimeng ran 10.25 in the 100m last Open, which was still a little short of the A mark. On the contrary, in the 200m, he ran 20.55. Enough to qualify.”
The 2008 Olympic men’s 100m qualifiers are not much different from the Athens Olympics. The men’s 100m A mark is 10 seconds 21, the B mark is 10 seconds 28, and the men’s 200m A mark is 20 seconds 59, the B mark is 20 seconds 75.
Because Su Zu’s 100m or 200m performance has far exceeded the A standard, if other players want to participate again, they must reach the A standard and become one of the three places. As for the B standard, when no player can reach the A standard, there is only one place.
“Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian I often hear people talk about them when I come back. They both have potential. Especially Zhang Peimeng, his technical style is a bit like mine, but he has a higher cadence than me. quick.”
Yang Guangzong smiled, although he was not very old, but only twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, but there was a kind of relieved expression on the face of the old team members seeing the successor.
Su Zu thought about it, Zhang Peimeng and Yang Guangzong’s technical styles are still somewhat close.
However, although Zhang Peimeng is not short, he runs more lightly, especially in the winter training at the Hagen base for several years, Zhang Peimeng maintained his speed in the middle and second half. Great improvement, which is why he was able to reach the Olympic 200m A standard in this Olympics.
As for Su Bingtian, he is not very old now. Even if he enters the national team ahead of schedule and has better training methods, Su Zu knows that he will have to wait a few more years to really start to exert his strength. After the strength and technology are gradually rounded, it will enter the explosive stage.
The two were talking, and Yang Guangzong suddenly looked at Su Zu up and down, and walked up to Su Zu and roughly measured it, “Su Zu, are you taller than me now?”
“Almost.” Su Zu straightened his body, “About one meter eighty-nine, maybe wearing shoes over one meter nine.”
“Two centimeters taller than me.” Yang Guangzong nodded and continued, “I watched Bolt’s game in Jamaica later, and he has improved very fast in recent years, and his strength is very strong. powerful.”
As a 200-meter runner, Yang Guangzong pays attention to 100-meter or 200-meter athletes even if he switches to 400 meters, especially at these times when Bolt was born. After breaking Suzu’s world record, he easily ran 9.85 in the Jamaica National Championship and 9.89 in the Stockholm Grand Prix. Both races can be said to be very easy.
And about Bolt’s news, compared to another time and space, at this stage, in addition to track and field enthusiasts and sports practitioners, ordinary people don’t really know much about it.
And in this time and space, from Gatlin to Powell to Guy, because of Suzu, a sprinter in his own country, many people know something about the world’s top athletes.
competitor.
Now, the news of Bolt breaking the world record has spread from abroad to China. Compared with the original time and space, more people know about it at this time.
Waiting for Su Zu to win the championship in the Bird’s Nest and win the game, suddenly an athlete broke Su Zu’s record and challenged Su Zu. An uproar.
During this period of time, various media from the outside world came to the track and field team to request interviews, but in the end they were all blocked by Li Zhizhong and others in preparation for the Olympic Games.
The pressure from the subject group to the coaching staff to the track and field team has been stretched up and down. The most promising point for winning the gold medal suddenly became less secure in the first few months of the Olympics. Who will be nervous.
Li Zhizhong even came and went to watch the game screen of Bolt at the New York Grand Prix even passed back from the front, analyzed his state and level, and found that when the opponent crossed the line at the end, he intentionally or unintentionally returned There’s head-turning action, which is a level of speed that hasn’t reached its limit at all.
Until now, Su Zu also understands why Yang Guangzong suddenly came to see him at the critical moment of preparations for the battle.
Obviously, he was afraid that Su Zu would be under too much pressure. As the Olympic Games approached step by step, the pressure of public opinion on him from all aspects of the outside world was increasing sharply. , I hope that Su Zu must win, etc., all kinds of news have brought him on the cusp of the storm.
“Brother Guangzong, don’t worry.” Su Zu patted his chest and smiled, “I have a big heart, and I am very confident.”
Since joining the track and field team, Su Zu’s mood has changed a lot. Many of the players before him have gradually faded out of the track and field team, and the players who entered later have become veterans, and there has been an invisible barrier between exchanges.
Only Yang Guangzong, the athlete who used to be called the big brother of the track and field team, behaves as always, whether it is Su Zu or Liu Yangyu, the achievements in the arena have not changed this respect.
“That’s good!” Yang Guangzong patted Su Zu on the shoulder, and did not continue to talk about this topic in depth.
Athletes are all proud and confident. There were many reasons for him to switch to the 400 meters, but it was probably because he saw that he could not compete with Su Zu in one or two hundred meters, and hoped to be able to fight again. reason.
At the stage of Su Zu, he is already the world’s top champion, two-time world champion 1200-meter double champion, breaking world records many times, and standing in this position is bound to have countless challenges.
The world field has never been short of masters and talents. No matter how strong the athletes are, they have to face the challenges of one player after another.
“How about the opening ceremony?” Without continuing to talk about Bolt, Yang Guangzong turned to a more relaxed topic, “You are the only one among active athletes.”
“It’s spectacular!” Su Zu remembered the scene of the most recent rehearsal rehearsal, and his mind was still swaying, “It should be the best ever.”
“You are in charge of the final ignition?” Yang Guangzong smiled. He was not there for the rehearsal athletes. Hearing what Su Zu said, he couldn’t help but ask.
“No, this ignition ceremony is quite interesting.” Su Zu said and smiled, “But I have to keep it a secret.”
He actually knew that Su Zu had signed a non-disclosure agreement, and the main purpose of coming today was not for this, but to see Su Zu’s state, talk with him, chat, and relax Personal pressure, everything else is just a joke.
A smile appeared on the corner of Su Zu’s mouth. The rehearsal for the opening ceremony started in April this year. He has participated in several times. From the director team to other aspects have not been disclosed.
The ignition ceremony is wonderful, but it is also very difficult. Su Zu asked several times for Mr. Zheng Qiuliang, who was said to be Director Zhang’s assistant last year when he came to him from the Osaka World Championships last year, but he was actually an official. For the formal rehearsal, the media should sign a non-disclosure agreement when entering the venue.
Broadcasters are allowed to bring equipment for testing during the Olympic Opening Ceremony rehearsal. The convention of the Olympic Games and the tacit understanding between broadcasters has never been to reveal the contents of the opening ceremony in advance.
In another time and space “SBS leak incident” Su Zu really didn’t want him to happen again, some things that are conventional, are completely useless to some media with no bottom line.
Su Zu is very clear about some things, and his role is limited, but he still makes many efforts. From the director group of the opening ceremony, to the press committee of the International Olympic Committee, and even the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. He is currently the top athlete in the country and a very important member of the ignition ceremony. At least some people have noticed his opinion.
And the result is good. Today is August 2nd. In another time and space, the opening ceremony of the last preview rehearsal on July 30th has not been exposed.
Su Zu didn’t know whether what he did in it really worked, or whether it was a time-space deviation, some things have been noticed by the organizing committee. Anyway, this is a good result.
The 2008 Olympic Games are about to begin!
