Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 55 Luohe Youth Championship, the official meeting with Su Bingtian

June 6, Luohe, Henan.

The popularity of track and field events in China has always been very low. Except for the National Track and Field Championships, which Liu Xiang regularly participates in, and the Magic City Golden Grand Prix, where the world's top athletes gather, the attention of other events has always been pitifully low.

However, many track and field enthusiasts discovered that this year's National Youth Track and Field Championships held in Luohe suddenly attracted the attention of many media and people.

Especially in the afternoon, when they arrived at Luohe Sports Center and prepared to enter the stadium to watch the game, they found many young students gathered outside the main stadium.

Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all wore a uniform T-shirt with five big characters printed on it: Chasing dreams with a pure heart!

Since the official release of "Chasing Dreams", Wen Hao has not participated in a public event or commercial performance, but this does not mean that EMI Records is not doing something.

Starting from June 6, that is, last Saturday, EMI Records has arranged for several media outlets to write articles to promote the news that Wen Hao will compete in the National Youth Track and Field Championships.

Soon, relevant content was pushed prominently on the homepages of major portal websites.

As a result, countless young students who learned the news organized themselves spontaneously.

If family conditions do not allow it, tap water promotion will be carried out in QQ groups, post bars, forums and other places.

If family conditions permit, they will rush to Luohe from all over the country and gather at the Luohe Sports Center to "jointly participate in the grand event."

The influx of a huge group of young students suddenly made Luohe lively.

Originally, there was no plan to sell tickets to the National Youth Track and Field Championships, but because there were so many young students who wanted to attend the competition, it even exceeded the main stadium's capacity of 20,000 people.

So the National Track and Field Management Center immediately pulled out the relevant responsible units of the Luohe Sports Bureau and held an emergency meeting, opened the ticket sales system, and only charged half price to students who purchased tickets.

At the same time, contact the Luohe government to deploy police forces to increase security patrols near the Luohe Sports Center to ensure the safety of life and property of young students and all spectators.

2 pm.

A business SUV drove into Luohe Sports Center. Before the door was opened, four security personnel quickly took up their positions.

When the surrounding students saw this posture, their minds immediately became active, and they gathered around with great anticipation.

Soon, the car door opened, and a young athlete wearing the same "Dream Chasing Heart" T-shirt as they did stepped out and appeared in front of everyone.

"Wen Hao! It's Wen Hao!!"

"I finally met him. My trip to Luohe was not in vain!"

"Wenhao, I'm your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?!"

"Come on, Wen Hao! Thank you for "Chasing Dreams" for giving me the courage to persevere, and you must never give up!"

"."

Although he had expected it, Wen Hao really didn't expect that there would be so many students at the scene.

Unlike Dayao and Liu Xiang, although his current influence is not as good as these two Asian sports giants, you must not underestimate the perseverance and cohesion of the star-chasing family.

Dayao and Liu Xiang are the kind of sports stars who have extremely high national popularity, have countless supporters of all ages, and have great appeal for tickets to related events.

In this regard, Wen Hao is still far behind.

However, his new approach to music has allowed him to gain a large number of loyal fans among young students.

An inspirational and positive song like "Chasing Dreams" has a very direct and effective impact on passionate students who have not yet experienced social beatings.

There were so many students at the scene that Wen Hao didn't dare to stop and greet them. Otherwise, he would be surrounded and unable to arrive at the venue in time to warm up, which would be too abstract.

Fortunately, there were no accidents. Wen Hao, Li Qing, and Zhang Peimeng successfully entered the outdoor warm-up field.
-
  There are still two hours left before the men's 100-meter preliminaries, and the outdoor warm-up area is a bustling scene.

Liang Jiahong patted Su Bingtian on the shoulder, smiled and asked him if he was nervous.

The green-faced Su Bingtian shook his head and said, "It's not bad."

But in fact, his heartbeat has never been normal since he stepped here.

Beginning in March this year, the Guangdong Sports Bureau followed the example of its neighboring provinces and held several youth track and field open competitions, selecting many talented young athletes.

Born in 1989, Su Bingtian, who was not yet 17 years old at the time, quickly distinguished himself in the competition.

4月10日，苏炳天在广东青少年田径公开赛U18组男子100米决赛上，以10秒59的成绩斩获冠军。

And because of this, he was valued by Yuan Guoqiang, the head coach of the Guangdong Track and Field Sprint Team, who directly took him under his wing and allowed him to enter the provincial team to receive higher-level professional training.

In two months, Su Bingtian's talent and strength allowed him to successfully defeat many strong adult opponents, and finally got the opportunity to come to Luohe to participate in the National Youth Track and Field Championships.   Participating in a national track and field event for the first time, even if it is a youth event, is an extremely special experience for Su Bingtian.

To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

It would definitely not work to remain so nervous. Su Bingtian felt that he would take the initiative to chat with the coach and senior brothers to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

"By the way, coach, when I was training before, I always felt that it would be faster to start with my right foot. Why don't you let me try it in the preliminaries?"

"Huh? Change your running feet?"

Yuan Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment.

"If you feel that starting with your right foot is more smooth, then try it. You are only 17 years old now, which is the age when you should try more, and the competition pressure in the preliminaries is not great. Even if you temporarily switch to the starting foot, you will advance to the semi-finals. There should be no problem in the finals.”

Yuan Guoqiang did not express any objection to the seemingly "rebellious" behavior of this young disciple Su Bingtian, and even encouraged it.

First, he feels that Su Bingtian can really stand the test at his age; second, he does not have high expectations for Su Bingtian's participation in this competition. At present, his focus is mainly on Liang Jiahong.

In terms of the static condition of the body, Liang Jiahong, who is 1 meters tall, is much stronger in Yuan Guoqiang's mind than Su Bingtian, who is only 84 meters tall.

What's more, Liang Jiahong was already the national U18 runner-up and the third runner-up in the high school championship last year. Over the past year, Yuan Guoqiang devoted a lot of effort to training Liang Jiahong.

He is not expected to challenge the monster Wen Hao, but at least he will not fall behind when competing with Jiangsu team's Lu Bin, Yanjing team's Zhang Peimeng, Sichuan team's Yin Hualong, etc., and try his best to fight for that precious piece. Silver medal, right?
  Yes, even though the men's 100m preliminaries haven't started yet, Yuan Guoqiang is already mentally prepared.

In fact, not only him, but also the sprint coaches of other provincial teams generally have the same idea.

With monsters like Wen Hao existing, everyone should stop aiming too high and just compete for the silver medal honestly.

"Brother, in fact, in many cases, what you think is your intuition goes against your body's natural reaction. In competitive sports, you must not trust your intuition too much."

While Su Bingtian and Yuan Guoqiang were communicating, a voice suddenly came from behind, and the speaker even commented unceremoniously on Su Bingtian's idea of ​​changing the starting foot.

Su Bingtian turned around and saw a young athlete wearing a T-shirt with "Chasing Dreams" T-shirt with a backpack on one shoulder and looking at him with a smile.

"Wen Wenhao?"

Su Bingtian was stunned, and the name of the future person blurted out.

"Damn, you're finally here. I thought you were blocked by those fans and couldn't get in."

Liang Jiahong on the other side naturally stood up and hugged him, then smiled and joked: "Oh, I wish you didn't come, so that I would have a chance to compete for the championship."

Wen Hao also laughed and said: "It's okay, I will accept this gold medal first, and when the World Youth Championships in August, I will get another gold medal to compensate you!"

Liang Jiahong smiled again and did not answer the question.

Of course he understood the meaning behind Wen Hao's words. How about getting another gold medal as compensation?
  Besides a relay gold medal, what else could it be?

But it is already a miracle that the Chinese relay team can enter the top eight in the international arena. As for the gold medal, Liang Jiahong dare not even think about it.

Is it the American team that is drifting away, or is it that the British team and the Jamaican team can't lift the knife?
  "By the way, let me introduce you. This is Su Bingtian, a new member of our Guangdong team who is not yet 17 years old." Liang Jiahong pulled Su Bingtian over, patted his back and introduced.

"Su Bingtian, I remember you."

Wen Hao smiled and nodded, "When I went to Guangzhou to prepare for the East Asian Games at the end of October last year, Jiahong and I watched your game live. I didn't expect that half a year later, you have entered the provincial team. Congratulations."

"I didn't expect you to remember me." Su Bingtian scratched his head, a little shy.

And Liang Jiahong also recalled his memories, remembering that he had insulted Su Bingtian and called him a weakling.
  Unexpectedly, Su Bingtian, whom he called a "weak chicken" half a year ago, has gradually caught up with him and can compete with him on the same field.

On the other side, Yuan Guoqiang also exchanged a few words with Li Qing, and then asked out of curiosity: "Wen Hao, what did you mean by what you just said, don't trust your intuition too much in competitive sports?"

"Well, it's actually hard to explain this clearly for a while, but" Wen Hao paused and remembered the interesting little story with Su Bingtian in his previous life.

"However, you only need to do a small experiment and you will probably be able to understand."

After saying that, Wen Hao once again set his sights on Su Bingtian.

When we should meet, we will meet.

What Wen Hao didn't expect was that his official meeting with Su Bingtian would be at this time and place.

The timeline of this world really changed slightly because of his rebirth.
  　Lao Su, who arrived late,

　　In the previous "Chasing Bo" and "Who is the King of 100 Meters", Lao Su was the "Brother Tian" of the protagonist. This time, it is finally "Xiao Tian"
