Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 95 He didn’t lose to me, but to injuries

Shijiazhuang, Yutong International Sports Center.

This stadium, which has been built for 20 years and is not very busy on weekdays, has finally received enthusiastic patronage from people in the past few days.

Today is August 8, the second competition day of the 5 National Track and Field Championships.

Tonight, track and field fans across the country will focus on Shijiazhuang to witness the birth of the annual national 100-meter flying man!

At 15:30 in the afternoon, Su Bingtian, who was carrying a shoulder bag and combing side bangs, followed his coach and two senior brothers to the warm-up field.

At this time, on the warm-up field, athletes from various sports were either taking the time to warm up, or they had just arrived and started to prepare slowly. The atmosphere was quite lively.

After coming to Shijiazhuang, I met many famous track and field athletes who could only be seen on TV and newspapers before, and even his idol Liu Xiang.

Unfortunately, when Liu Xiang went to adapt to the venue yesterday, there were too many people around, and Su Bingtian was too embarrassed to go up to say hello or ask for an autograph.

The person Su Bingtian envied the most was Wen Hao. Liu Xiang walked with him the whole time yesterday afternoon. The two of them were arm in arm. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.

In yesterday's preliminaries, Su Bingtian played in the first group.

He performed well. Under the wind speed of -0.4m/s, he ran a time of 10 seconds, ranking third in the group and advancing directly.

Su Bingtian gave his best in his performance in the preliminaries.

With his current personal strength, it is absolutely impossible to have any reservations in the national championship, the highest level competition in the country.

当时预赛第一组的头名是胡恺，成绩是10秒48。第二名和第四名分别是四川的尹华龙、江苏的沈云暴，他们分别跑了10秒54和10秒57。

The results of 2nd to 4th place were quite close. If his rhythm was a little messed up at that time, he would probably lose to Shen Yunbao and be placed on the bench.

This morning, the group list for the men’s 100m semi-finals was also officially released.

A total of 18 players were divided into two semi-final groups, and Su Bingtian was placed in the first group again this time.

Opponents in the same group include: Yanjing team - Hu Kai, Guangxi team - Pang Guibin, Guangdong team - Wen Yongyi, Guangxi team - Gong Wei, Hubei team - Li Yong, Jiangsu team - Shen Yunbao, Tianjin team - Wang Peng.

The promotion situation is extremely difficult, not to mention the situation in the second group, it is the opponents in the first group, any one of them has a PB higher than himself.

That is to say, the two veterans Shen Yunbao and Wang Peng are probably preparing to retire, so their form has declined this season.

At last year's National Games, these two veterans both ran under 10 seconds, but this year they were only around 40 seconds.

There is also Li Yong of the Hubei team. Su Bingtian played against him in the All Youth Championship held in Luohe.

At that time, he ran 10 seconds to create a PB, and Li Yong also created a PB, but in 49 seconds, which was a full 10 second faster than him.

The chance of promotion cannot be said to be slim, it can only be said to be almost non-existent.

Faced with this situation, Su Bingtian did not feel discouraged.

After all, he is the youngest athlete in the men's 100-meter event at this championships, and he is not even 17 years old yet.

It can't be compared, it's normal.

He is just a little confused, confused as to what changes he should make in order to continue to make progress.
  "Old Yuan, long time no see."

Unexpectedly, Wen Hao's coach Li Qing found his coach Yuan Guoqiang and said hello.

Both of them were born in 1956. From 1982 to 1983, Yuan Guoqiang went to Switzerland and Finland to participate in the Lausanne Track and Field Games and the first World Championships in Helsinki.

At that time, Li Qing served as the sprint coach of the national track and field team, so the two were old friends who had known each other for many years. It was just that one was in Yanjing and the other was in Guangdong. They were so far apart that they really didn't have much contact with each other.

"It didn't take long. Didn't we meet in Luohe before?"

Yuan Guoqiang replied cheerfully, and then asked: "When will your track and field elite open class be held? Others don't know, but I am looking forward to it."

"There's no rush. I just returned to China not long ago and I'm still preparing my thesis." Li Qing smiled and pointed at the three apprentices warming up on the track.

"When the paper is officially published, it will be after the start of the fall semester. Wenhao also has some competition arrangements in September. I decided to put this open class after the National Day."

"After the National Day." After hearing Li Qing's words, Yuan Guoqiang also wondered, "After the National Day, the time is just right. It happens to be the rest period before winter training."

This time is really good.

There are three athletes under him: Wen Yongyi, Liang Jiahong, and Su Bingtian. The latter two are still young and lack strength. They will definitely not be selected for the national team in the Doha Asian Games at the end of the year.

As for Wen Yongyi, he suffered a minor injury in the first two months and is currently recovering, but it should not be a big problem to be selected for the national team.

When October comes, the critical period of preparations for the Asian Games, Wen Yongyi will definitely train with his teammates on the relay team. When two apprentices take a rest period and one apprentice trains with the national team, he can calm down and study hard to improve his coaching ability.

"Yes, we just took into account the issue of winter training, so we set the time after the National Day. If it were moved to November or December, no one would be willing to come, haha."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. I'm going to take these three boys to start warming up." Yuan Guoqiang patted Li Qing on the shoulder and ended the chat on his own initiative.

After Li Qing left, Su Bingcai asked curiously: "Coach, with your qualifications, do you still need to study with Coach Li?"

Yuan Guoqiang said sternly: "Bingtian, please remember. Qualifications are the biggest drag on people. We who are engaged in sports cannot not pay attention to the improvement of our personal level just because we have qualifications."

"For those of you who are athletes, not to mention those who have not won any honors or achievements, you are those who have already won the national championship. Could it be that because of his qualifications, other athletes will not go all out in the competition and deliberately lose to him? ?”

Su Bingtian shook his head: "If I were really that good, I would love to beat those veterans today."

Just kidding, if you are engaged in sports competition, who cares what results you have achieved or what honors you have received?
  Sports competition is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

The better an athlete's performance and higher the honor, the more people will remember him. Countless latecomers want to step on him and create new heights.

"So, it's the same for those of us who are coaches. The training theories and training concepts we have mastered may have been sufficient in the past, but times are developing and the industry is developing."

"You feel confused now that you can't continue to improve. Why don't I feel the same? I'm confused too! Your senior brother Wen ran 10 seconds at the beginning of the season. You thought it was the beginning of the peak of your career, but it turned out that you failed. It didn’t take long for me to get hurt.”

"I personally feel that unless your talents are really high to a certain level, with my current teaching ability, I can only bring you to a level of about 10 seconds 3 at most."

"So you have to learn! As the saying goes, live and learn. I am only 50 years old now, so I am not considered an old person. Why don't I learn?"

"."

Yuan Guoqiang's words gave Su Bingtian a deeper understanding and inspiration for the sport he is engaged in - the 100-meter competition.

It turns out that when you engage in sports and practice sprinting, you can gain something by not just practicing hard.

My own coach was once the first electronically timed 100-meter national record holder. After retiring as an athlete, he transformed into a coach. Over the years, he has successively coached many "famous players" who are ranked high in the country. ".

But even with Yuan Guoqiang’s qualifications and experience, he still needs to learn to keep up with the times. What about himself?
  As a fledgling track and field player, completing the training tasks assigned by the coach step by step and working hard to complete the training seems to be all he can do.

But maybe, he could do more.

At 17:30, the first group of men's 100m semi-finals officially started!
  Because of his promotion order, he was placed in lane 7, which was pretty good. On his left was last year's National Games champion and Guangxi star Gong Wei, and on his right was Jiangsu team veteran Shen Yunbao, whom he had met in the preliminaries.

Su Bingtian still did a good job in accelerating the start of this shot, but in front of Hu Kai, Pang Guibin and others, it was really pale in comparison.

In the first 30 meters, Su Bingtian could barely keep up with Hu Kai, Pang Guibin, and senior brother Wen Yongyi, and was only about half a length behind.

But as soon as the 30 meters passed and entered the running stage, Su Bingtian was quickly widened.

Even Guangxi veteran Gong Wei, who had recently lost his form due to injury, overtook Su Bingtian after 40 meters, and the gap also widened.

Su Bingtian was sprinting hard on the track. He could clearly see that in the front echelon, Hu Kai and Pang Guibin were holding back in the last 20 meters, while Wen Yongyi and Gong Wei basically gave their best.

10 seconds was the final result of group leader Hu Kai, while second-placed Pang Guibin was 32 seconds.

Senior brother Wen Yongyi ranked third with a time of 10 seconds, and Guangxi veteran Gong Wei ranked third with a time of 40 seconds.

Su Bingtian himself ran a time of 10 seconds and ranked fifth. Although his results were not ideal, what made him happy was that he actually beat Li Yong, who was much better than him before.

But after seeing Li Yong holding his thigh and frowning after running, Su Bingtian understood.

Being able to defeat opponents who had defeated him should have been a joyful thing, but he didn't want to win in this way.

He didn’t lose to me, but to injuries.

After shaking hands with Li Yong and simply saying "Come on", Su Bingtian packed up and prepared to leave.

It seems that the results of subsequent games can be known without watching them.

"Wen Hao! Wen Hao! Wen Hao."

Just when he opened his legs, there was a burst of cheers in the stadium.

Turning around, he saw the sprinting genius who was only a little over a year older than him, but already had many fans and supporters, entering the field.

What results will he achieve in this semi-final?
