Run Out of My Life

"In the 2004 National Athletics Championships and Olympic Trials held in Shizhuang City yesterday, Su Zu, a player from Ronghai Province, ran a record-breaking 20.12 seconds. Third national record broken after 60m and 100m…”

"In the National Track and Field Championships from May 21st to 23rd, Su Zuhou won the championship with record-breaking results in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, and this achievement was also greatly refreshed The national record level in the past…”

"Olympic Athletes Get Ready, The Track and Field Legion Is Emerging"

"From 60 meters to 200 meters, it only takes two years to break the national record"

"Olympic Outlook, Su Zu can break 10 seconds"

"Chen Jian: With the appearance of Su Zu, all of us "old people" have started fighting"

"Feng Shuyong, head coach of the national track and field team: The goal of the Olympic Games is to win medals, and our sprint men's team is the best in history"

…

From the Olympic Trials, a piece of news has appeared on the television newspapers three times. With the arrival of the Athens Olympic Games getting closer and closer, the focus of media attention and reports has gradually shifted from other fields to sports.

"Guide Yu, isn't it inappropriate to continue like this?"

Beside the track and field at the Xinzhuang training base of the national team, Yu Liwei was squinting at the athletes who were training on the field, and looked quite satisfied. Beside him, Li Zhizhong was holding a few newspapers he had just bought on the roadside in the morning, his face was a little dignified.

Since the broadcast of Antan's commercial, Su Zu's popularity has almost skyrocketed. Coupled with the two record-breaking results in the trials, it has become the focus of attention almost instantly. During this period of time, the limelight completely overshadowed other sports events, and the occasional news from the basketball team could overwhelm the track and field team.

"Old Li, Coach Li, you put your heart on your stomach, it's no big deal, you can't control them if they want to report and scribble." Yu Liwei shook his head and pointed to Li Zhizhong's hand "Look at these words, some of them were said by you or me. Now is the Olympic year, the atmosphere is up, and it's normal to receive attention."

"This will put too much pressure on the athletes." Li Zhizhong sighed, it's a good thing that athletes get attention. Only when they are famous, they have commercial value.

But expectations are too high, and it is easy to put too much pressure on young athletes. The high jumper in 1984 and the gymnastics prince in 1988 have left Li Zhizhong with lingering fears now.

"I know you want to protect Su Zu, but we can't get involved in such matters as public opinion at this time. Su Zu has attracted attention and is his champion again and again, with records accumulated one by one got up."

Yu Liwei took the newspaper from Li Zhizhong's hand, glanced at it, and rolled it up, "Excellent athletes will naturally face these on the way of growing up, so don't always be the same. The deputy parent's mentality will have to face these sooner or later."

"It's still too early." Li Zhizhong raised his head and looked at the few people sweating under the scorching sun on the training ground. The slogan of "pick up" sounded from time to time.

"Su Zu is still young, but you can see that he has ideas and won't be confused by a few reports. But this situation is really not a good thing for athletes, I promised you to let Su Zu give up the IAAF Gold Grand Prix, which is a bit hasty. Otherwise, it would be better to go abroad to participate in the competition at this time and hide. Well, I will inform you later, and I will conduct closed training in the past two months. , bar the media reporters from entering.”

Speaking, Yu Liwei patted the newspaper rolled up in his hand again, "You also pay attention to these newspapers and the like, don't let others bring them into the training base."

Li Zhizhong nodded helplessly, "That's all for now."

Yu Liwei looked at Li Zhizhong's appearance and smiled, this coach Li cared, but maybe he didn't get used to it yet, and he suddenly became a well-known champion coach. The pressure of athletes is not the coach's.

…

"Hur-"

There were bursts of violent gasps. On the track of the track and field, Su Zu, Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, and Yang Guangzong stood on the edge of the field, all of them holding their knees and panting violently.

"How far?"

Just finished the relay race for a group, Yang Guangzong was the second runner, and he didn't see the clock score, so he directly asked Su Zu who was the last runner.

"It's still 0.19." Su Zu was also breathing heavily. Hearing Yang Guangzong's question, he subconsciously subtracted it and replied.

"It's still a long way." Chen Jian found a towel from the sidelines and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After the trials ended, after returning to the Xinzhuang training base, the Olympic goal of the relay team was officially set.

The first is to win the card.

The 2000 Sydney Olympics relay champion United States team scored 37.61 seconds, the second Brazil team scored 37.90 seconds, and the third Cuban team scored 38.04 seconds.

The goal of the relay team training now is to train with the third place of the Cuban team in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. 23, leaving the Cuban team with a difference of 0.19 seconds.

38 seconds 23, this result has surpassed the 38 seconds 28 created by the Chinese relay team in the Asian Athletics Championships last year, but it is farthest from the last bronze medal, there is still a lot of distance.

In the sprint event, the gap of 0.19 seconds is almost heaven and earth. If it is only by individual efforts, it is almost impossible to break through in a short period of time.

Based on the current best results, Su Zu is 10.02 seconds, Chen Jian is about 10.15 seconds, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao are about 10.25 seconds.

If you can maintain the best state in the relay race, and the handover technique is more delicate and perfect, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all.

Out of 38 seconds 82 results. (The previous article said that there were no Thai athletes in the top three in the 100 meters and in the top three in the 200 meters. Chen Jian ranked third in the Asian Games at 10.34 seconds.)

If the skill in handing over the baton can reach the level of the Thai team at that time, or even surpass them, there is still a great chance of winning the medal.

And this is also the goal of the Chinese team now, the four of them are almost all boarded and trained together, cultivate a tacit understanding, improve the handover technique, and measure the pace in groups.

In the training of this kind of relay project, it still has a very obvious effect on the improvement of personal running ability.

In the words of coach Yuan Guohua, there is competition in the relay, one chasing after another. Every time you train, you are fast or slow, and the athletes who take over the baton can feel it. We must use the greatest concentration to treat each relay training as a competition, and constantly stimulate and surpass.

"Have you rested enough? If enough, I'll move on to the next set."

Beside the venue, the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, looked at a few people, clapped his hands, turned his head to look at Su Zu and said, "Su Zu, you can go faster when you start to accelerate. , you are a 60-meter runner in 6.48 seconds, start faster and increase your speed.”

Said and pointed to Shen Yunbao, "Yunbao, keep the speed when you turn into the straight, and make sure you hand over the stick at high speed, and the handover action of the lift-up style. It needs to come more smoothly, so it must be successful at the first time, and it must be synchronized. Don't become one person chasing the baton, and the other hand is behind waiting for others to catch up. Be simple and fast."

"Understood, Coach."

Shen Yunbao nodded, he is not qualified to participate in the Olympic AB standard, almost all of his personal spirit is placed on the relay event, which is more important than the other three such as Su Zu.

"Okay, come on, our progress is obvious, everyone continue to work hard."

On the track and field, the running figures appeared again, stepping on the wind and running fast!
