Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 32 He can take his place!
  February 2006, 2, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

In Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, inside the dormitory building of Jiangnan Training Base.

At 6 a.m., even south of the Tropic of Cancer, there was just a hint of gray light in the eastern sky.

In many rooms in the dormitory building, the unpleasant sound of alarm clocks suddenly broke the tranquility of the morning.

Immediately afterwards, several middle-aged men suddenly broke into these rooms, opened their loud voices, and woke up the young people who were still wandering in their sleep.

Lao Yi poked his head out of the warm quilt and rubbed his sleepy eyes vigorously, his expression still very confused.

There are two completely different worlds outside the bed and inside the bed. It really seems like I can continue to sleep.
  But I came to this place to change my destiny, so how could I waste time?

After a sharp pinch on his arm, Lao Yi woke up completely. He turned over and left the bed, and started dressing and washing hurriedly.

"Who the hell is that in the toilet? I've been squatting for ten minutes!"

"Don't scream outside. I'm constipated. Isn't that okay?"

"If you are brushing your teeth, please step aside and give me a seat to wash my face!"

"Damn it, put down my facial cleanser! I'm so damn reluctant to use so much!"

The washbasin is a mess, and young people with sports dreams are ready to set sail in the winter morning!
  Lao Yi moved into the Jiangnan base dormitory yesterday.

At the end of last semester, he participated in the Guangxi Track and Field Youth Elite Training Camp on the recommendation of his school.

Originally, he had no expectations because Teacher Ma told him that this was the largest youth track and field mobilization in the entire Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region since the new century.

Wen Hao won the 100-meter championship at the East Asian Games last year and broke the national junior record. In fact, it did not cause much sensation in the public eye. The focus of people's attention is still on Liu Xiang.

But that doesn’t mean the track and field community will remain indifferent.

After the East Asian Games, the Guangxi track and field team issued a strong invitation to Wen Hao, hoping to retain this talented young man with unlimited future potential and bind him to the district sports bureau.

It's a pity that I couldn't do it. What the Guangxi track and field team can give, Tsinghua University can also give, and what it gives is even better.

Although Wen Hao could not be won over, based on the excellent performance of the Guangxi track and field team at the 10th National Games, especially in the sprint event.

The Guangxi Sports Bureau has increased its funding for the track and field team, hoping to tap into the success of the 10th National Games and even the National Olympics to tap out more high-quality sprint talents.

So after more than a month of meetings and discussions, the youth track and field elite training camp plan came into being.

This project is sponsored by the Guangxi Sports Bureau, and the undertaking units are the Guangxi Track and Field Team and the Guangxi Sports School.

The Guangxi youth track and field elite training camp program targets all young athletes in Guangxi, including but not limited to students with sports talents in sports schools in cities and counties, and young students with sports interests in ordinary middle schools.

Even young people of appropriate age who have certain athletics talents and have entered the workforce due to family economic reasons, or are working at home as farmers, can also sign up to participate.

And Lao Yi officially came to Nanning from Beihai under this background.

Since its official mobilization on January 1, the Guangxi Youth Track and Field Elite Training Camp has recruited a total of 1 school-age teenagers from all cities and counties in the region.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible to keep them all, otherwise why would they be called "elite"?

So, after allowing these 2107 teenagers to adapt for a week, the training camp started internal screening.

Among them, there were a total of 623 people in the sprint event, and only 60 people were able to stay in the end!
  14~16岁年龄组30个名额、16~18岁年龄组20个名额，18~20岁年龄组10个名额！
  After three rounds of screening, Lao Yi ranked 18th in the 20-10 age group and was able to stay at the Jiangnan base to continue training.

At 7: in the morning, the track and field training ground of Jiangnan Base.

After running laps in the warm-up, eating breakfast, and resting for a while, 60 students from the sprint group of the Youth Elite Training Camp gathered at the track and field.

Today is the first day of formal training in the training camp, and every student is full of expectations.

They are the elites selected by the collective efforts of the province. Although not everyone can persist until the end, at least at this point in time, they are all full of desire for their future.

At least half of these students come from remote areas.

They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they are just afraid of not having the chance to get ahead!
  But now, this opportunity is clearly placed in front of them.

After the students were assembled, surrounded by several teachers from the training camp, a figure that made the students couldn't help but wait and see appeared on the track and field. “It’s Cheng Wenzhong!”

"Really or not? The coach who will be responsible for guiding our training in the future is Cheng Wenzhong?!"

The name Cheng Wenzhong is definitely familiar to most Guangxi children who love sprinting and embark on the road of sprinting.

As one of the "Guangxi duo" who once dominated domestic sprinting, Cheng Wenzhong, who has set two national 100-meter records, is definitely the "top" in Guangxi's track and field field.

"He is Cheng Wenzhong."

After seeing Cheng Wenzhong pass in front of him and formally stand in front of the team, Lao Yi's heart, which had become gradually closed due to the sudden death of his mother due to overwork, felt a little relieved.

When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he was selected by the county sports school, but if he went to school in the county town, he would have to pay 250 yuan per month for living expenses and training fees.

At that time, his parents were divorced, his brother was raised by his father, and Lao Yi was raised by his mother.

My mother was frail and sick, and she could not save much money throughout the year, so she did not go there in the end.

Because of his family's difficult economic conditions, he only started attending high school when he was nearly 19 years old, falling far behind his peers.

Fortunately, this time, Beihai Vocational School not only waived his tuition fees, but also gave him a monthly living allowance of 200 yuan, which greatly eased his financial pressure.

At the same time, Teacher Ma Shengjie, who recruited Lao Yi to Beihai Secondary School, would open a small stove for him because he contracted the canteen. Otherwise, his monthly living allowance of 200 yuan would not be able to support his sprint training.

Now that his mother has been buried, he will be the only one to walk from now on.

For the sake of his mother's spirit in heaven, he must continue on this road no matter how painful or tiring it is!

"I am very happy to see you here today. Each of you here may one day stand on the stage of the National Games, the Asian Games, or even the Olympic Games!"

On the track and field field, after Cheng Wenzhong briefly introduced himself to the students in the sprint group, he began to give a motivational speech.

"But, how difficult is it to step on those stages? The National Games are held every four years. Even if they pass the National Games qualifying competition, for each individual track and field event, a provincial unit can only send Two contestants competing!”

"In the men's 100-meter event at last year's National Games, our Guangxi team sent Gong Wei and Pang Guibin. They won a gold medal and a bronze medal respectively for our Guangxi. When they were running laps to warm up, some of you should have seen it. Are they there?"

"Yes!"

"I see!"

Some students in the team immediately responded.

"Gong Wei and Pang Guibin are both veterans of the Guangxi team. Although their strength is still very good, when the Shandong National Games is held three years later, someone among them may not be able to replace their positions!"

"Not to mention anything else, at the East Asian Games in Omen last November, Wen Hao from Guilin ran 11 seconds and became the 10-meter champion. With his age and talent, let alone the next National Games , that is, at the Yanjing Olympics two years later, he is very likely to show China’s speed in front of the whole world!”

"I hope you will follow Gong Wei, Pang Guibin, and Wen Hao as examples from today and set your goals!"

"Not to mention other things, the best one among you is 10 seconds. I have worked hard for two years to improve my performance and stabilize it within the level of 72 seconds. Even if I can't compete for the two individual places, I won't be able to join the relay team. No chance!"

When Cheng Wenzhong said this, he turned slightly and pointed to the opposite side of the track and field.

"Did you see that next to Gong Wei and Pang Guibin, there are the first and second legs of the National Games relay team, Yang Guangming and Zhang Yuan, one with 10 seconds and the other with 63 seconds."

As soon as these words came out, the students all started whispering to each other, looking at Yang Guangming and Zhang Yuan as if hungry wolves saw the little white rabbit eating grass, full of infinite desire.

Especially the student who had run 10 seconds in a municipal competition. At this moment, he held his head high and his chest high, and his fighting spirit was high.

10秒72和10秒66，也不过就差了0.06秒而已
  He can take his place!
  　Compared with the previous book "Who is King of 100 Meters", the pace of this book has been slowed down a lot. First, it has added daily content, and second, it has added foreshadowing for supporting characters.

　　Wen Hao was reborn in 2005. At this time, Chinese sprinting was in a confused stage. Compared with the group of famous athletes in the 90s, the overall strength showed no signs of improvement. No one could even come close to the national record.

　　The emergence of Wen Hao will have an impact on domestic sprinting to a certain extent. This impact is not like that in "Chasing Bo" and "100 Meters", where Wu Ziyi and Wei En were directly involved.

　　His emergence and fame will promote changes in the sprint industry to a certain extent. Now it is only in Guangxi. When his fame grows and his honors and achievements shine brighter, his influence will expand to Guangdong next door, and even All of China, and even all of Asia.

　　Compared with Wu Ziyi and Wei En, Wen Hao will no longer be so "tired". He no longer needs to dedicate himself, but will indirectly promote the progress of Chinese sprinting through his own influence.

　　This is the story I want to write in this book, so at a certain point in the story, I will add the perspective of the supporting character. I hope everyone can accept it.
