"Athletics, known as the mother of sports, is also the largest sport in the modern Olympic Games, including walking, running, jumping and throwing, which almost covers the most basic human sports. A country The track and field performance can intuitively reflect the general physical fitness of the people in the country.

Compared to table tennis, diving, design, swimming and other sports, my country's track and field events have always been at a disadvantage. Like other Asian countries, it was difficult to see ourselves in high-level world track and field competitions Athlete silhouette.

But now the situation has changed gratifyingly. For example, in the men's sprint in this Olympic Games, even Japan, the strongest in Asian track and field, has never had an athlete reach the final and Achieved winning the medal, and our athletes made a historic breakthrough as an absolute dark horse.

Men's sprint has always been the most concerned and anticipated event in the Olympic Games. In the men's 100-meter sprint event of the Athens Olympic Games, for the first time, two Chinese athletes have advanced to the semi-finals. In the men's 200-meter event On the other hand, two athletes advanced to the semi-finals, and the 110-meter hurdles even had a hot spot to win gold. These are all historic achievements.

Su Zu, a 17-year-old sprinter, broke the 10-second mark in the 100 meters and the 20-second mark in the 200 meters at the Olympic Games. For the first time, a non-black sprinter created the Such a world-shattering achievement, two heavy medals, one bronze and one silver, are no less than gold medals in any other event. That's one small step for an individual, but one giant leap for our nation's athletics..."

…

At this time, the sports pages of the entire western newspapers and media revolved around the boos of the audience at the 200-meter live yesterday.

…

On a day when the Eastern and Western media were full of excitement, at the training ground next to the Athens Olympic Village, four or five figures wearing red sprint sportswear had already started training early.

The three coaches, Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua and Mai Shaoqiang on the sidelines of the arena, were staring at a few people in the training ground for handover training. Mercedes Benz back and forth.

"Stop! Come over here."

After another set of relay training ended, Yuan Guohua clapped his palms to remind several people to stop.

On the training ground, Su Zu, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, all stopped and turned to look at the three coaches on the sidelines.

Because tonight is the first round of relay preliminaries, the athletes on the field did not really run in the normal 4×100 way, basically everyone’s running distance is 30 to 40 meters Left and right, mainly to get familiar with the process of handing over the baton again.

Su Zu's last shot, considering his physical fitness, basically just started to accelerate, and stopped after the baton was completed.

"Chen Jian, when you and Yang Guangzong hand over the baton, you must move quickly and neatly." Yuan Guohua pointed to Chen Jian, "If there is a second handover, it may be a relay. Not to mention, and basically the delay time is about 0.1-0.2 seconds, which cannot be recovered later."

"Understood, Coach Yuan." Chen Jian nodded, although it was a few dozen meters of training, but a small situation did occur just now, Yang Guangzong accelerated a little faster, when he handed in the baton Not so smooth.

The competition is about to begin, and there is no need to make a fuss about the handover training of dozens of meters.

He coughed lightly, and continued: "You saw the 200 meters last night. The sound of the scene was so loud that people could hardly hear it. It is necessary to pay attention to chanting slogans when the baton is handed over. Yes. When handing over the baton, the word 'take' must be shouted loud enough to ensure that the person in front of the baton can hear it clearly."

"Look." Yuan Guohua walked to the runway while talking, holding the baton behind Chen Jian, and suddenly shouted: "Take it!"

The baton in his hand stretched out suddenly, and Chen Jian, who was just in front of him, stretched out his hand behind him and got it smoothly.

These are things that have been trained for a long time, but now I turn them over to remind them before the game.

However, Yuan Guohua said to call the person in front of the baton to take over the baton. This still needs attention. When the baton is handed over at the end of the relay competition, there will be a password to call the person in front to take the baton, but the scene is too noisy sound, it is very likely to cause interference.

"Okay, let's continue, don't practice too hard, the main thing is to make the movements smoother, like Su Zu, you and Yunbao do a few more sets of training."

Su Zu nodded. He started from arriving in Athens, and he was preparing for the 100-meter and 200-meter events at the end. In the past few days, he has not touched the relay again. The movement and pace need to be slightly more Get familiar. His relay training today is mainly to find the feeling, and he does not need to sprint hard in transition.

"Come on, Suzu."

Shen Yunbao stood on the runway and greeted Su Zu with a smile.

In this Olympic Games, the other three people in the relay team all have individual events. He is the only one who only participates in the relay race, and maintains the best energy and physical fitness.

Squatting on the starting line, watching Shen Yunbao run to the measured distance, got up to speed up, just heard Shen Yunbao's voice when he ran seven steps, stretched his hand to the back, the baton Naturally, it was handed over.
