Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 27 The long-awaited runway

Before Wu Ziyi got off the train, Chen Wenzhong sent him a message telling him that he was already waiting for Wu Ziyi at the exit of the train station.

After leaving the train station, Wu Ziyi saw Chen Wenzhong in the crowd at a glance. Chen Wenzhong waved his hand and led Wu Ziyi to the parking lot.Today Chen Wenzhong personally drove a car to pick him up, and the two drove non-stop towards the Jiangnan training base of the Sports Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where the Guangxi track and field team is located.

After arriving at the base, Chen Wenzhong took Wu Ziyi to dinner first, then arranged for Wu Ziyi to live in the athlete's apartment, and told Wu Ziyi to take him to go through the relevant procedures for entering the team tomorrow.

Wu Ziyi came to the assigned dormitory, probably because the leader of the Sports Bureau specially ordered him to be alone in this dormitory for the time being.Very good, leisurely.He put away his luggage in a hurry, took a cold shower, chatted with Wen Ying and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Wenzhong took Wu Ziyi to go through the formalities. Due to the early attention of the leaders of the Sports Bureau, the procedures for Wu Ziyi to join the Guangxi track and field team went smoothly.

After completing the formalities, Chen Wenzhong took Wu Ziyi to visit the entire Jiangnan training base.

Now it is summer, and it is the time for athletes to sweat. At this time, there are many athletes training in various venues in the Jiangnan Training Base, from six or seven-year-old primary school athletes to [-]-year-old middle school student athletes to adult athletes. There is something for all ages.

Chen Wenzhong took Wu Ziyi all the way to the stadium. At this time, there were also football players and track and field athletes training in the stadium.

The stadium in the Jiangnan training base is just a training ground, but it has a blue plastic runway that Guangxi Sports Center and Guilin Sports Center do not have.

蓝色科技涂层跑道随着2009年柏林世界田径锦标赛尤塞恩博尔特两次神迹般的9＂58和19＂19，逐渐被世人广知。随后世界各地越来越多的蓝色跑道开始出现，蓝色跑道也在不断冲击着传统红色跑道的地位。

Going back to this runway where Wu Ziyi sweated countless days and nights in his previous life, a drop of disappointing tears flowed from his eyes and was quickly wiped away by Wu Ziyi.

Chen Wenzhong didn't see Wu Ziyi shed tears, but stood in front of him pointing at the blue runway and introduced himself proudly.

After introducing the running track, Chen Wenzhong turned around and said to Wu Ziyi: "Now the sprint team members of the track and field team are either competing outside or resting. Your training will start after a few days. Take a good rest for a few days, and you can go shopping around Nanning. Let's play. But the phone must be turned on all the time, don't wait until the phone fails when I want to find you. "

"Good coach." Wu Ziyi replied obediently.

"I still have things to do, you can move freely from now on." After finishing speaking, Chen Wenzhong left.

After watching Chen Wenzhong go away, Wu Ziyi lowered his head and stared at the circle of blue runway, without moving for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, he slowly lowered himself down, knelt down on one knee, first kissed his palm, and then lightly pressed his palm on the runway.

Finally, he stood on this long-lost runway again, this blue runway that made him love and hate, and carried his dreams in the past and present.Time and time again, he sweated countless times from here and went out to compete in the province, and then came back here again and again
The dreams of the previous life start again here, and the regrets of the previous life also end here!

Wu Ziyi stood up, this time, his gaze was firmer than ever before.

silently in my heart,

"preparation"

"run!"

Wu Ziyi exerted force with his left foot and kicked out his first step. He didn't have the explosive speed and strength like in the competition. He just accelerated slowly and little by little.

Feeling the wind passing by the ears, recalling the passing scene, the heartbeat becomes more and more passionate, and the feeling of breaking through the wind makes people feel cool and comfortable.

Wu Ziyi was running to his heart's content at this moment, all the cells in his body began to move, wanting to feel the strong wind blowing on his face.It seems that as long as I rely on my own feet, I can run anywhere I want to go.

It's been a long time since I ran like this. Let go of the obsessions and troubles in my heart, and just run freely.Maybe Wu Ziyi's obsession was too deep in his previous life, and he put too much pressure on himself, which made him unable to break through to a higher level.Sometimes what hinders an athlete’s progress is not only talent, but also mentality. When self-confidence becomes inferiority complex, and determination becomes self-doubt, it is difficult for this athlete to improve
It took him less than a year for Wu Ziyi in his previous life to switch from long jump to 100m and 200m after entering university, to run from the school sports meeting to the National University Games, and from the school team to the Guangxi track and field team.After entering the Guangxi track and field team, he still made rapid progress under the guidance of Chen Wenzhong. Although he was not amazing, he was already the only local male sprinter in Guangxi who could do it in those few years.

September 2017, 9 was the pinnacle of Wu Ziyi’s life in his previous life. On behalf of the Guangxi track and field team, he defeated many powerful opponents and stood on the stage of the men’s 3m final of the National Games. He was 100 years old at that time.Because Wu Ziyi refreshed his PB twice from the preliminaries and semi-finals, Chen Wenzhong and Lao Yi have great expectations for him, hoping that he can break through himself in the final and become the next leader of Guangxi sprint after Lao Yi.

However, things backfired.

Wu Ziyi was in the 8th lane in the final, Su Bingtian was in the 7th lane on his left, and Zhang Peimeng was in the 9th lane on the right.After firing the gun, Wu Ziyi was quickly thrown away by Su Bingtian, and Zhang Peimeng, who made a slight mistake in the start, also slowly threw himself away after 50 meters. 10″59 is Wu Ziyi’s final score, which is much worse than 10″52 in the preliminaries and 10″43 in the semifinals.

After the National Games, no matter how he increased the amount of training, no matter how he improved his running technique, it was of no avail.Every time I go out of the province to participate in the competition, it hovers around 10 seconds, and I can't make any progress.

"That year was 2017. After the game, I was crying in front of the mirror in the locker room. At that time, I swore that if I could start my life again, I would try my best to win everything. Now this opportunity is In front of me, I have to consider whether this is the only opportunity in my life. It is my duty to recast the glory of Guangxi track and field!"

Wu Ziyi ran faster and faster, he just wanted to consume all the energy stored in his body, he needed to vent!
After dashing around, he slowed down, but he didn't stop, but continued to run.

Two laps, three laps.
ten laps, twenty laps
The athletes who were training in the stadium only saw a big fool who seemed to be running hard without the supervision of the coach, but no one seemed to have seen that appearance before, and they didn't know which coach belonged to him.

Thirty laps, forty laps.
Maybe he was worried that he would have problems if he ran for too long. During the period, someone handed him water. Wu Ziyi took the water naturally and didn't say thanks. He just drank half of it slowly and poured the other half on his head.

I don't know how long he ran, whether he reached the half marathon or even the full marathon, but Wu Ziyi kept running until his cell phone rang.Well, it's Wenying's exclusive ringtone.
