Chapter 314 Difficulties
2008 Olympic Games.

In the expectation of the people of the whole country, it is getting closer and closer.

Everyone still remembers the inspiring scene when the capital successfully bid for the Olympic Games in 2001, and the people of the whole country were filled with excitement and pride at that moment.

Now seven years have passed, and it has entered March 2008. There are still five months before the Olympic Games will be officially held, and the excitement and anticipation of the 3 billion citizens can be imagined.

Several large stadiums on the North Fourth Ring Road of the capital are under construction. The foundations that Rousseau saw when he passed there have now become majestic and artistic modern stadiums.

The major domestic media have begun to introduce and publicize the Olympic Games at length. For example, Zhang Guoshi will be the director of the opening ceremony. It is estimated that tens of thousands of actors will be used. It will definitely create a magnificent opening ceremony.

For example, domestic athletes in various fields have achieved new and good results in preparing for the Olympics.

In particular, the documentary program "Entering the Olympics" aired by CCTV aroused enthusiastic responses from the audience, but when they saw the episode introducing Rousseau, they also aroused endless feelings of embarrassment.

Although Rousseau still has competitions, and the results are constantly being reported back, it seems a bit far away from the era when all the people shouted "God Lu".

But if you think about it carefully, it was only half a year, and Rousseau was submerged in all kinds of information about the Olympic Games, and he seemed a bit unremarkable.

In the domestic 2007-meter race, Rousseau is not the only seedling. Tian Shiwei, Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen participated in various international competitions in the past few months at the end of 2008 and the beginning of [-], and achieved good results, which is eye-catching. , There is still a big gap from the world's top like Usain.

In CCTV's documentary, Rousseau's various competitions and achievements since 2004 were recorded, and the final deadline was before the 2007 World Championships, because when this series of documentaries was filmed, the Osaka World Championships had not yet been held.

Although the World Championships had already ended when the documentary was broadcast, the CCTV production staff probably did not make up for Rousseau's results out of a feeling of emotion.

The documentary ends with the sentence 'We all expect Rousseau to achieve better results in the future, because he represents a milestone in the history of Chinese sports'.

At this time, people all over the country expected Rousseau, and they were very sure that it would become a reality.

Sorrowful.

Netizens checked the website of the General Administration and found that there is not much news about Rousseau recently, but more about Liu Yu, Tian Shiwei, Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen.

Liu Yu has recovered well recently and has achieved peak results in the indoor 100-meter hurdles. He is regarded as one of the hopes for the Olympics.

As for the news about Rousseau, most of the news is that it has terminated the contract with a certain brand. Netizens counted the endorsements of Rousseau and found that since the Osaka World Championships, they have not increased, but have been decreasing. At present, only those in the heyday are left. About two-thirds.

Star athletes without results seem to be returning to the ordinary.

Netizens who were full of sorrow launched some posts about "Remember Lu Shen", which aroused some attention, but in the end they were scattered in the ocean of the Internet without causing any waves.

It's not that everyone doesn't remember Rousseau, but if Rousseau is not the "God of Lu", then there is no need to cheer for him and everyone will follow him.

……

At this time.

Rousseau also encountered his first hurdle in resuming training.

For half a month from the end of March to the beginning of April, his training progress in the first stage has been stuck at around 3%, and he seems to have encountered the first "bottleneck" in his training plan.

Caesar could not come up with a more reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. After all, what Rousseau did was unprecedented, and the mysteries of the human body are so difficult to understand.

As a coach, Dong Zijian felt that Rousseau might need the stimulation of the game, and Rousseau felt that there was also this possibility.

Nothing decides the game.

So Rousseau decided to participate in the silver medal Super Grand Prix in Milan, Italy on April 4.

In 2008, the IAAF reorganized the annual competition events again, and classified all Athletics Federation events into indoor, cross-country, all-around, race walking, championships, super grand prix, and gold grand prix.

Among them, Rousseau can participate in indoor, championship, super grand prix and golden grand prix. In these competitions, there are either 60 meters or 100 meters.

The upgrade means that some low-level bronze medal events will be eliminated. Rousseau's Thailand Open in January will also be one of the last bronze medal events in 2008.

The purpose of doing this is to enhance the influence and attractiveness of the event. After all, the "pecking each other" in the bronze medal competition is not good-looking. Concentrating on creating high-quality competitions will have a negative effect on the national track and field associations in the "IAAF family". have greater influence.

When Dong Zijian submitted Rousseau's entry plan to the General Administration, the leaders of the General Administration thought it over carefully, and then asked a question, is there any chance of winning?

Rousseau's recent achievements are seen by the leaders of the General Administration, and they are anxious. A sports star with such a high nationality will continue to dim like this. Before the 2008 Olympic Games, even if it is not out of economic interests, as a Chinese People are also worried.

But the performance of the athletes is extremely urgent. If they can’t run, they can’t run. The leaders of the General Administration have a lot of gray hair because of this. Now that Rousseau is going to run the Super Grand Prix, it is normal to have such problems.

Dong Zijian handed in Rousseau's training results in Leverkusen. Rousseau predicted that when the training rate of the first stage reached 60%, he could return to within 10 seconds. Now it is 55%, but the result is still 10 seconds. Swinging up and down, this is why Rousseau felt that there was a problem with his estimation.

After seeing this result, the General Administration felt that it was not optimistic. Due to the compression of the IAAF competitions, this Milan Super Grand Prix was also the first battle in 2008. It was bound to meet many famous track and field athletes, Usain, Ball and Gay are both possible.

If in a duel with an opponent of equal strength in the past, Rousseau's loss is not good, then Rousseau can... But, from another point of view, Rousseau can't always be hidden. Athletes also need competitions. The leaders of the General Administration have thought twice , or agreed.

"I hope that Rousseau will run well, but don't have any ideological pressure." The leader of the General Administration asked.

When Dong Zijian conveyed the opinions of the General Administration, he was quite guilty in his tone, because as a coach, he couldn't put forward more effective opinions on Rousseau's current predicament, which made him a little ashamed.

"If Li Yan was here, he would definitely have some good suggestions." Dong Zijian said with emotion.

"Coach, you often mention Li Yan recently." Rousseau felt a little weird, "Did something happen?"

Indeed, the number of times Dong Zijian uttered the name 'Li Yan' has increased significantly recently.

Why is this?
