king of sprint

Chapter 288

After Rousseau scored a record-breaking 9.70 meters in [-] seconds at the Senecanese Grand Prix.

He had an old injury, but this time it was not so serious, so whether it was in front of the reporters in the venue at the time or at the press conference after returning to China, he could endure it and not show it too clearly.

The reason why the injury was hidden was the request of some brand owners and the suggestion of the IAAF. The General Administration and Lu Jinrong also considered that they could not deepen the domestic public's impression that Rousseau was "injured every competition".

There are still more than three months until the World Championships. If this news spreads, it will cause ups and downs in public opinion. Unless Rousseau is sure that he will not be able to enter the World Championships, he can pave the way here.

Otherwise, at this moment when Rousseau has become a national hero, it is not a good choice to use injuries to test the psychological endurance of [-] billion people.

The brand owner's request is very simple. They are taking this opportunity to use Rousseau as their brand image to promote their own brand. If the news of Rousseau's injury spreads, it will directly attract attention, and the publicity effect will be greatly reduced.

After all, these brands are not selling medicines or health care products, but products endorsed by Rousseau’s healthy and powerful image.

The IAAF hopes to create a "two heroes' battle" at the World Championships, and does not want Rousseau's injury to affect the opening of this drama.

In short, Rousseau's injury is no longer his own problem, but more than 5 million business cooperation, the feelings of 13 billion people, and the IAAF's next tens of billions of investment promotion plans.

This is called involuntary.

So Rousseau actually did not return to Pengcheng Sports Hospital after the press conference in the capital, but secretly arrived in Leverkusen to start a month-long treatment.

Only here can Rousseau heal his injuries as soon as possible without dropping his attributes.

From April 4th to May 15st, Rousseau, accompanied by Dong Zijian, conducted 5 days of healing and training in Leverkusen. By May 21nd, Rousseau felt that his health had recovered, according to the report provided by BR Medical Center Rousseau is also shown to be in good health.

Rousseau originally planned to leave Leverkusen on May 5 and return to China, but after hearing the news, he stayed in Leverkusen for another day.

The news he received was that Liu Yu was coming.

At the Grand Prix held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 5, Liu Yu participated in the 20-meter hurdles, but was accidentally injured and withdrew from the race. There was a lot of speculation in China, and then Rousseau heard the news that Liu Yu was coming to Leverkusen.

On May 5, Rousseau met Liu Yu and his team.

Liu Yu’s mentor, Coach Sun, is already very familiar with Rousseau, and Lu Jinrong and Coach Sun are also very familiar. When they look at each other’s apprentices, they both have the feeling of seeing a relative’s child, so Coach Sun asked Rousseau how he recovered from the injury. Sample?
Rousseau replied that everything was fine, what about Liu Yu?
"It's an old problem." Coach Sun sighed a little, "There are good times and bad times. Recently, there have been a lot of practice and competition, so it broke out."

Liu Yu's Achilles tendon problem is more difficult to deal with than Rousseau's thigh strain. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an athlete's terminal illness. It is usually fine. Once strenuous exercise, the callus will penetrate into the Achilles tendon, causing severe pain. Naturally, the game will not be successful. The method proceeds normally.

Dong Zijian and Coach Sun exchanged views on the athletes' recovery.

Rousseau, on the other hand, looked at Liu Yu, who had a cloudy face. No one would be in a good mood when he was injured. The pair of suffering brothers looked at each other, and then they couldn't help laughing together.

This is probably due to the bad nature of human beings. When one is unlucky, there is someone who is as unlucky as oneself, and the mood will be much better for no reason.

Liu Yu complained to Rousseau: "Sometimes I really don't know what is the meaning of our life like this. Every day is apart from training and competition. After retiring, you will be injured. It's okay to win the game. If you lose, countless people will point at your spine and scold you. , it's really difficult."

"You were not so pessimistic when you broke the world record in Lausanne last year." Rousseau still remembered that Liu Yu was sitting on the electronic record board and waving the national flag in his hand, as if he was the king of the world.

"Who can always win." Liu Yu sighed.

"Be optimistic in a desperate situation. Besides, you are not in a desperate situation. Heal your injuries and fight again at the World Championships to get back the shame." Rousseau encouraged Liu Yu.

"Were you so optimistic when you lost to Gatlin in the 05 IAAF Finals?" Liu Yu asked.

Rousseau recalled a bit, and the answer was obviously no, "How is it possible, I was so angry that I didn't even participate in the 200 meters."

So Liu Yu just looked at Rousseau like this.

Rousseau laughed dryly.

Indeed, whoever loses is not uncomfortable. Although Rousseau was injured in Senegal, he won and broke the world record. It would be strange if he could have any empathy with Liu Yu.

"You bastard~" Liu Yu smiled helplessly.

"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same." Rousseau also smiled, "I also feel bad if I lose, but what can I do, I have to run away."

Indeed, no matter how much I think about it now, when it comes to the competition, there is still only one way to win.

No matter how depressed you are when you lose, no matter how helpless and desperate you are when you are injured, when your body recovers enough to play, you are still positive and optimistic, full of desire for victory, and without a trace of self-doubt.

The sprinters standing at the top of the world are a group of optimistic and innocent gamblers who always believe that they can win.

Rousseau stayed for two more days, met his old friend Liu Yu, and returned to China on May 5.

Although Rousseau came to Leverkusen to recuperate and train quietly, the Pengcheng Sports Academy is not monolithic after all, and some news was spread, proving that Rousseau was indeed not in the Pengcheng Sports Academy, and where he went, I don’t know.

The domestic media and the public are very concerned about this. A [-]-meter world record holder and a national athlete who can represent China's sportsmanship all over the world in the [-]-meter event has disappeared for more than a month. Speaking of which, this is also common.

After all, athletes are not stars in the entertainment industry, and they need frequent exposure to maintain their presence.

But everyone still wanted Rousseau to show his face. The General Administration had taken a lot of pressure during this period, so after Rousseau returned to China, after obtaining the consent of the coaching staff and Rousseau, he arranged for Rousseau to participate in the shooting of an Olympic-themed documentary.

This documentary is called "Entering the Olympic Year". It is a documentary produced by CCTV with the efforts of the whole station. It focuses on domestic athletes in various fields, such as table tennis, badminton and diving. The others are all shot by a group of players. One film, Rousseau made one film by himself.

The General Administration thought that the release of this news would calm the public's discussion, but they didn't expect that netizens would talk about it, wanting to watch Rousseau's competition, not to see Rousseau's documentary.

It's really hard to wait...
