Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 291 Today's achievements must be watered by sweat
The news that Wenhao broke the 60-meter world record at the Millrose Games in New York was quickly transmitted back to China by the Xinhua News Agency.

There is a 12-hour time difference between New York and Yenching, so just over an hour after the Millrose Games ended, the Chinese people who woke up in the gray winter morning saw the overwhelming coverage of the event by various media.

"New York creates another miracle! Wenhao breaks the 6m world record with a time of 37 seconds!"

"Red Lightning gallops across the field, breaking the world record in the second stop of the season!"

"Another world record! Wen Hao says 6 seconds is not the limit!"

"Young athlete Su Bingtian performed well, setting a new personal best of 6 seconds and finishing fourth"

"06 World Indoor Championships Champion Scott praised: It is my honor to compete with superstars"

"Wenhao and Green took a photo after the game. The former king has become a spectator"

Compared to the various media's fancy headlines, the Chinese government website, which first reported the news, was quite pragmatic: -

With the arrival of 2008, the country's expectations for the Olympic Games are growing.

In this social context, people across the country are looking forward to Chinese athletes shining in this Olympic event held at home.

Therefore, as the New Year is approaching, Wenhao is able to once again achieve great results in the international arena. On the basis of his original honors and achievements, he has won another world record in the sprint event, which is definitely worthy of people's special mention.

Especially after hearing about this wave of hot reports on TV and broadcasting and browsing the Internet, some attentive citizens suddenly discovered: just three hours before Wenhao broke the 60-meter world record, his old rival Powell actually tied the world record in Europe.

Such a contrast makes people even more happy.

"It really is true. There is no harm without comparison!"

In the office of the Track and Field Management Center of the State Sports Administration, after repeatedly confirming the report with his old friend Yu Weili, Feng Shuyong could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

The Athletics Administration Center has never neglected to follow up on the training situation of Wenhao and the relay team members who went to the United States for winter training.

In the past, the national track and field team's preparation concept was almost a complete inheritance of the former Federation. Based on the theoretical system of the "Big Olympic Cycle", athletes had to go through a long preparation period under the guidance of coaches, adopting a training and competition arrangement with more training and less competition, in the hope of adjusting the athletes' personal condition to the best during the Olympics.

But after repeatedly verifying this theory, the relevant leaders and experts found that this approach was completely unworkable. Not only did the national track and field team's various events not make much progress, but they were gradually left behind by the team next door.

It was not until the emergence of the gifted Liu Xiang, who achieved great success in international competitions during his teenage years, that the relevant leaders finally came to their senses and let Liu Xiang and his apprentice go out and explore the world.

2004年，在雅典奥运会开幕之前，劉翔便已经在国内外先后参加了16场50米栏、60米栏及110米栏比赛，共计27枪！
Afterwards, athletes such as Yang Yaozu were arranged to go to the United States for training. Although the final result was not satisfactory, at least they had a better understanding of the American competition and training system.

Therefore, after the rise of superstar Wenhao, which led to a revolution in the domestic sprint racing information concept, the leaders of the Athletics Management Center finally felt at ease to arrange for the entire relay team to go to the United States for training.

Now, Wen Hao and Su Bingtian's consecutive excellent performances in the indoor 60-meter race have further verified the correctness of this decision.

There is great potential for the Yanjing Olympics!
On the way back to Donald Building, Wenhao did not become too happy about breaking the 60-meter world record.

Breaking the world record in this event is certainly worth celebrating, but the result of 6 seconds is still not enough to satisfy him.

且不说阿萨法·鲍威尔去年在列蒂、斯图加特两次跑出9秒74时，其中前60米分段用时都达到了6秒31。

就连他自己在斯图加特跑出的百米世界纪录9秒72，前60米分段用时也达到了6秒36。

Without considering the wind speed, the split time for the 60-meter race is even 0.01 faster than that of a simple -meter race.

This is normal for normal 1-meter athletes, because indoor competitions are concentrated in January to March. At this time, the athletes have not yet completely completed their winter training and are in the technical running-in period. There is bound to be a certain gap between their competitive state and that in summer.

除了原时空的多哈世锦赛冠军克里斯蒂安·科尔曼之外，几乎没有哪个世界顶级短跑运动员会极其重视室内60米项目，完全起调动竞技状态疯狂轰出6秒37、6秒34。

But Wenhao is different.

Because of the existence of this plug-in system, he only needs to maintain a sufficient amount of training to keep his competitive state at a stable and extremely high level.

Therefore, although he broke the world record by running 6 seconds, this result still failed to reach the expected height for him as his goal was to defeat Bolt.

Since he resolutely chose the path of competition after his rebirth, his life has seemed unrestrained, but in fact every step he takes is on thin ice.

He knows who the strongest opponent he will face on this competitive road is, and knows what kind of fierce competition the relay team led by him will face in the future.

Therefore, whenever he is involved in training, he forces himself to show unlimited enthusiasm, always maintain absolute concentration, and not miss any opportunity to improve himself.

As for the competition arrangements, he not only has to try his best to win on the field, but also thinks all the time about how to accumulate potential points as much as possible without excessively wasting his body functions to ensure that he has enough room for adding points.

That's why he indulges himself so much in his daily life, flitting among the flowers like a butterfly, and having ambiguous relationships with one woman after another.

Only when he devotes himself to sex can his brain be completely empty, and he can throw away the burden and tense nerves in his heart, and completely release the pressure accumulated in training and competition. But in general, the road ahead is still very clear.

After breaking the 60-meter world record, the system gave a considerable potential value reward, but in comparison, it was indeed not as much as when breaking the 100-meter world record twice.

The potential value reward logic given by the system is the points and event level corresponding to the competition results.

60米6秒37的基础积分是1286分，而文浩第一次破100米世界纪录的9秒76基础积分则是1291分。

In terms of event level, the Millrose Indoor Games is Class B, and the Rome Golden League is Class GL, which is second only to the Olympics and the World Championships. There is also an A-level difference between the two. Therefore, with the combination of these two factors, it is normal that the potential value reward this time is smaller.

However, combined with the 6 seconds he set in Boston to refresh his PB and the tournament record, as well as the minimal training accumulation in recent days, his potential value has finally reached a level that can be added points - 42%
There is nothing much to say. After returning to the hotel, I turned off my phone and locked the door.

After completing the points addition, in order to adapt to the strengthened body as quickly as possible, Wenhao decided to carry out some night activities.

So he took the special elevator to the 66th floor.

Two hours later.
Ivanka woke up from a semi-comatose state and was about to speak when she was stuffed full of her favorite Chinese sausage.

"Mm Gurgle"

After swallowing for a while, Ivanka rolled her eyes weakly and said breathlessly: "Dear Wen, you are really awesome tonight. Can you stop for a while and let me rest for a while?"

Wenhao did not reply, but smiled and took out a small bag similar to disposable eating gloves from the bedside table. The only difference was that it was not only printed with a [Durex] trademark, but also specially marked [ultra-thin] and [extra-large].

It's obvious that they are not proper eating gloves!
"Then coach, we'll say goodbye for now, see you in Europe?"

In the terminal hall of Fitzgerald KND International Airport, agent Annie and two temporary bodyguards were waiting at the boarding gate. Wen Hao turned around and stopped to look at Li Qing, Renault and Su Bingtian, and said goodbye to them with a smile.

After participating in the Millrose Games, the indoor schedule in the United States has come to a temporary end.

In fact, if you really have to continue looking for competitions, there is a Pennsylvania State University Open in two days and a Virginia Tech Invitational in five days. Although the level is relatively low, there are also many elite players with pretty good strength participating in the competition.

But right now, Wen Hao has more important things to do, which is to go to Los Angeles to attend the 2th Grammy Awards ceremony on February 10.

In addition to having a good chance of winning the Grammy "Song of the Year Award", he was also invited to perform on stage.

Because I have been focusing on the indoor 60-meter competition recently, I haven’t yet decided on the performance repertoire, so I must set aside enough time to prepare.

"Go ahead, Wen. Su happens to be in Karlsruhe (Germany) on the 10th to participate in the Indoor Grand Prix. After the competition, we will go back to the hotel to watch the Grammy Awards live. I look forward to your performance!"

Renault stepped forward and patted his shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and whispered in his ear with a smile: "There will definitely be beautiful stars during the Grammy Awards ceremony. I guarantee you will have a great time then~"

Wen Hao responded with an awkward but polite smile and a look that said "I understand", then waved to Li Qing and Su Bingtian, turned around and quickly disappeared in the registration channel.

After saying goodbye to Wenhao, the old, middle-aged and young people returned to their waiting area.

The elderly man Li Qing and the middle-aged man Renault continued to chat and laugh. One second they were talking about the team members' training methods and deep concepts, and the next second they were analyzing the movements of various famous players so far this season.

Su Bingtian's English level is a bit poor. He can occasionally communicate a sentence or two with Renault in life and training, but he can't keep up at all if he wants to have a smooth conversation.

Looking at the high dome of the hall above his head, Su Bingtian's thoughts gradually diverged.

As winter training enters its final stage, he has experienced a fantastic two weeks with Wenhao, three indoor 60-meter races, and refreshed his personal best three times. Now his PB has reached 6 seconds, which ranks second in domestic history.

Although this result still does not rank high in the history of the 60-meter event, it is basically world-class in the current international arena. If it is placed in Asia, it is enough to be among the top ranks in history!

文浩之前的亚洲60米纪录，是由哈萨克斯坦名将维塔利·萨文、卡塔尔名将塔拉尔·曼索尔分别在1992、1993年创造，并共同保持的6秒51。

In other words, if we only consider the personal best results in the event, Su Bingtian has now successfully ranked fourth in Asia in the 60m indoor race!
The rapid improvement in his indoor 60-meter performance means that his personal ability has greatly improved compared to last year.

Su Bingtian still remembers what Wenhao said to him when he returned to the hotel yesterday.

"You are born with an extreme cadence, strong in the first half and weak in the second half. But even if your second half is bad, as long as you can run the 60m indoors consistently within 6 seconds, and find your 55m rhythm in the outdoor season, running under 10 seconds won't be a big problem."

10 seconds 10
When Su Bingtian heard this ability prediction from Wen Hao's mouth, he felt that he was in a trance and he still felt dizzy.

Since being selected into the national training team, he felt like he was on a maglev train or even a supersonic plane. The speed of his progress was unimaginable.

It is indeed very tiring during training, especially after receiving formal American-style training. The daily ultra-high-intensity training must be completed within 3 hours. In the beginning, I was so exhausted that I had to be supported by the coach to leave the gym or training ground.

But now, the excellent performance in three consecutive indoor 60-meter competitions truly reflects the effectiveness of training.

The fruits of today are the result of tons of sweat in the gym and on the training ground!
