After a summer vacation, a classmate became an Olympic champion?

Chapter 88: A Sensation in Asia, Changes in the Sprinting World

Tap, tap, tap!

On the dim 100-meter track in Thailand, a figure was sprinting forward with all his might. He had a rope tied around his waist, which was dragging on the track, and an iron tray was tied behind him.

Clang!

After running out more than 20 meters with the rope and the tray, he was obviously exhausted.

"Huff~~Huff~~~"

Buriponwensong supported his knees, his face painful, and he kept gasping for breath.

Plop!

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat on the ground, supporting himself with his hands and looking at the sky.

He was still training late at night, and he was really hardworking.

He was training a method to improve sprint speed and explosive power - rubber belt traction running training.

By tying a rubber band around the athlete's waist and having another person or a fixed object pull it, the athlete can feel a certain amount of traction when running, thus simulating the sense of speed during the competition.

Especially in sprint events, this training method is considered to be very effective because it can help athletes adapt to running skills and power output at high speeds.

You can significantly improve your sprint speed and leg explosiveness in a short period of time, especially in situations where you need to start and accelerate quickly?!

Many sprinters around the world train like this day after day, just hoping to improve their starting speed by even 0.1 seconds or even 0.01 seconds.

"Wen Song——"

The dark-faced coach Donald Quarry walked out of the shadows and handed his disciple a bottle of water.

"Someone tied your Asian youth record!"

Donald Quarry spoke in English, and there was a bronze-faced guy next to him, translating in Thai in Wen Song's ear. He was the translator of the Thai national sprint team.

"Hmm?"

After hearing the translation, Wen Song, who was extremely tired after a day of training, couldn't help but stand up and gritted his teeth and asked, "Who?"

"A 14-year-old track and field athlete from China!"

Donald Quarry spread his hands and took out his mobile phone. His friend had just sent him a video of Chen Shu running to 10 seconds.

"14 years old?!"

"Can 14 seconds run to 10 seconds?"

Wen Song looked a little horrified. He took Quarry's mobile phone and looked at it.

"Nothing is impossible in this world!"

"You broke the Asian youth and youth records at the age of 16, and others can also break yours at the age of 14!"

"Don't forget, China's technology is very strong now. I have been to Guangdong Province and guided their running training. The population of China is really too large, full of countless excellent sprinters. 14 people... there are always one or two talented teenagers!"

"Su and Xie, have you forgotten?"

"The 100-meter and 200-meter sprint records in Asia are all in their hands!"

Donald Quarry shook his head. As a runner in the world,One of the fastest men, he understood better than anyone the importance of talent in sprinting.

At the 1976 Montreal Olympics in Canada, Donald Quarry won the first 200m gold medal in Jamaica's history, once again letting the world know the strength of Jamaica's sprinting.

The men's 200m world record he created was not broken until 2008 by a younger generation in his country, the greatest legend in the history of sprinting - Usain Bolt!

But before Bolt came out of nowhere, Quarry was the legend of Jamaica.

When Jamaicans describe how fast they run, a popular saying is: "Even Donald Quarry can't catch me!"

Later, this sentence became Bolt.

During 2008, Quarry had coached the Guangdong Provincial Team of China. Su Bingtian was fortunate to be instructed by him. Now, he has become the temporary coach of 18-year-old Briponwensong, the most talented sprinter in Asia.

Briponwensong entered the semifinals of the 100m and 200m in the Paris Olympics that just ended this year, but the results were not ideal.

10.13 seconds.

Only two athletes from Asia made it. The other one is a mixed-race sprinter genius from Japan - Sunny Brown. At the age of 16, he participated in the World Championships in Track and Field and almost broke the world record of his predecessor in his country.

He ran 10.02 seconds.

"10 seconds!"

"He actually ran faster than Xie!"

Wen Song shook his head, incredulous: "After Su Ban retired, Xie was invincible in China!"

"Yes, but now, you have a new opponent"

Quari was very serious.

Throughout Asia, Wen Song's name as a genius is well known in the sprint circle, but the reason why many people don't know it is because there has always been someone suppressing him, that is Xie Zhenye.

In the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, Xie Zhenye ran 9.97 seconds. Wen Song, who was only 17 years old at the time, won the silver medal. He ran 10.02 seconds!

In the world of track and field, China may not be the protagonist; but in Asia, Chinese track and field really has a buff bonus, perhaps due to the kind of patriotism in their bones. In foreign wars, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye have never failed.

Two veterans over 30 years old have fought hard for the Chinese sprint world and stabilized the crown that had not been renewed for 10 years.

Especially in the big competitions, the so-called geniuses and Asian sprint superstars were all annihilated by Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye!

Even though they are old, even though they are over 30, they still have the courage to turn the tide.

This is why any country in the world admires Chinese sports.

"At the age of 14, how did he do it!"

Wensong was very depressed and mad. He thought that Xie Zhenye was old and Asia would usher in the era of Busen; China likes to call him Busen, not Wensong!

"There is no shortage of geniuses in this world!"

"Before 2008, the whole world said that no one could break my 200-meter record. What about now? Bolt's record of 19.19 seconds is already in danger!"

"The 200-meter world junior and world youth records he held have been broken by 17-year-old Leighton!"

Donald Quarry shook his head and sighed.

Perhaps only geniuses like them who have reached the pinnacle understand that there is always someone stronger than you, and talent can always surpass hard work.

Training day after day is just to extend the limit of talent.

If you don't have talent, even if you train to death, you are only the lower limit of others.

"Wensong, come on, you still have a few more years of dominance!"

"Running 10 seconds at the age of 14 proves that he has the absolute talent to run under 10 seconds, but at this age, the performance is the most fluctuating and it is impossible to be stable. You still have a chance to prove yourself in the Asian Championships next year!"

"But your 10-second Asian Youth record may be at risk of being broken at any time, you must be mentally prepared!"

"No problem!"

Wensong suddenly smiled confidently: "In my heart, there is only that Asian record, and youth is a thing of the past!"

At the age of 18, you can indeed have the courage to say this.

But Su Bingtian's Asian record of 9.83 seconds sometimes requires more than talent and hard work, and luck is needed.

Running privately is nothing, running 9.83 seconds in a big competition is a true god.

"Let's hope so!"

"I hope that 14-year-old Chinese kid doesn't improve as fast as you from 18 to 25!"

Donald Quarry smiled, and Wen Song, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Coach, let's practice for another hour!"

At the same time, the Japanese national sprint team.

Like Wen Song, there are also the eight active kings of the Japanese sprint world who always regard China as their opponent. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

As soon as there is any movement in China, as this covetous neighbor, it doesn't take long for them to know everything... China has given birth to a sprint super genius, a supernova, and a teenager known as the "Son of God".

Japanese people are particularly keen on nicknames, and the three words "Son of God" can be said to make them feel a threat coming in the face.

"14-year-old ran 10 seconds, wind speed 2 meters!"

Sunny Brown, who had just finished a day of training, said to several seniors beside him in surprise.

"Running 10 seconds in such a wind speed is too exaggerated!"[]

Sunny Brown's face was dark, and his mixed-race appearance looked very obvious: "Senior Kiryu, does the super wind speed race really improve the performance so much?"

Sunny Brown has never run a super wind speed race, but the one next to him, the most senior and influential legend Kiryu Yoshihide of the Japanese sprint team, has experienced a wind speed of 3m3 and finally ran 9.87 seconds, which shocked the whole of Asia.

With the world junior record in hand, he was highly regarded by the industry. Unfortunately, his talent was not fully realized. His fastest PB in life was 9.98 seconds, and it was also achieved with a tailwind of 1.8 meters per second.

He was not as good as his 25-year-old junior, Sunny Brown, who ran 9.97 seconds with a tailwind of 0.5 at the 20-year-old National College Championships!

This guy also has many legends. He broke the world junior record twice in a row and was hailed as the "Japanese Bolt"!

"Kiryu-kun should be very sad now?"

"After all, his world junior record was broken by China!"

A guy wearing a headband teased: "Of course he runs fast in the wind, so this kid's real strength should be around 10.05 seconds!"

"But it's already exaggerated, 14 10.05 seconds, no wonder he broke Kiryu-kun's world junior record that he had held for 12 years!"

Ryota Yamagata, the No. 1 in Japan's sprint world, the second yellow man in Asia except Su Bingtian, ran a result of 9.95 seconds. In Asia, this result is second only to Su Bingtian's 9.83 seconds!

However, he was in the same era as Xie Zhenye and Su Bingtian, and was suppressed by them for 10 years, so now, he is basically in a semi-retired state.

"10.05, I can still beat them!"

"When I retire, I'll leave it to the younger generation in Japan!"

Sunny Brown said happily. Because of his mixed blood, he didn't have the introverted and dull personality of the Japanese. Instead, he was very cheerful.

None of the Japanese sprinters next to him smiled, because the birth of a new star in China meant the decline of Japanese track and field. They had finally waited until Su and Xie semi-retired. Currently, Japan's sprints are among the best in the world, but now there is a 14th place of 10.05, how can they not be shocked.

In this Paris Olympics, Japan's sprint performance was excellent. Not only did Sunny Brown enter the semi-finals with 10.02, but he also ranked fifth in the 100m relay finals, setting a new Asian record. If it weren't for the last runner's failure, it would have been possible to enter the top three or even win the gold medal.

The Japanese 4x100m relay team, composed of Yoshihide Kiryu, Sunny Brown, Daiki Yanagida and Hiroki Kamiyama, relied on perfect handover techniques to maintain the ranking of the first three legs in the second and third place, and the fourth leg was once ranked first!

This is a very strong strength.

Now, at the Asian level, their track and field is also completely broken.

Not to mention China, only Wen Song can keep the pressure on Thailand.

Daiki Yanagida and Hiroki Kamiyama can run more than 10 seconds, while China is generally still around 10.20 seconds, and there are few within 10.10 seconds.

The difference is 0.1 seconds.

"Next year's Asian Championships will be held in China. According to the current state of China's track and field, he must participate to cheer!"

"We have 8 players who have qualified, and we will make an exception to allow one more player to participateIf we can't beat him in the 100-meter race, the Asian Games next year will be even more difficult!"

Kiryu Yoshihide is currently the captain of the Japanese sprint team.

He was silent for a long time and suddenly spoke.

The Asian Championships are held in Xiamen.

They dare not think about the World Championships.

And the Asian Games next year will be held in Nagoya, Aimei, Japan, and they are the host; according to Chen Shu's current age of 14, he just meets the minimum qualification of 16 years old for the Asian Games track and field.

Because the Asian Games is in September.

"Keep an eye on this opponent!"

"At the age of 16, he will become our biggest threat!"

"Here! ”

The eight sprinters, who were originally worried about their own things, suddenly shouted in unison.

A rookie from China 14, this night really made many Asian countries, especially athletes who are good at sprinting, sleep poorly; and they even ignored the name Chen Shu, and did not think of Chen Shu, the double Olympic gold medalist in swimming and skateboarding.

After all, there are too many people with the same name in China.

However, Chen Shu slept well.

After resting for a while after dinner last night, he went back to his room after training in the swimming pool for nearly 2 hours. Sleeping.

Cui Dengrong was quite pleased with the swimming training videos he posted, and even gave him many butterfly stroke training methods.

In the past month, Chen Shu's butterfly stroke strength can definitely be described as a leap forward.

As for his 50m and 100m limits, Chen Shu himself has not measured them.

It is estimated that the Swimming World Cup will definitely scare Cui Dengrong and Pan Zhanle.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu slept more soundly.

September 16, 2024, the second day of the National Track and Field Championships .

The 200m, 400m, shot put, and javelin events were being held in full swing; Chen Shu's 100m relay was not until the evening, so he watched several games, such as Xie Zhenye's absolute dominance in the 200m.

Chen Yuzhe won the women's 200m again, and the javelin genius Yan Ziyi broke the Asian record again... In this era of transition, a group of track and field coaches and leaders watched the boys and girls born after 2005 step onto the track and field stage one by one, and they were obviously very pleased.

In the lost 10 years, China Track and field once again ushered in the sign of full blossoming; although it is still far from being able to dominate Asia, it should be able to regain the defeat in track and field events in the two consecutive indoor, Asian Championships, and Asian Games.

China's track and field in the three major events is very embarrassing. It has been ranked second for several years, and the number of gold medals has not even exceeded 10.

In previous years, it was 20 or more.

In addition, this time the Asian Championships is held in China, so it is even more necessary to wipe out the previous humiliation and regain all the losses; if the local area still takes second place, the anger of the people is estimated to beDrown the track and field team.

Just like the Chinese capital Olympics, if China didn't win the first place in the number of gold medals, many people would definitely have a problem.

Liu Xiang suffered the biggest online violence in the history of Chinese sports because he fell down when he entered the field. This is understandable. It's not easy for athletes, so how can the expectations of the people be hurt?

In fact, the official who insisted on letting Liu Xiang play with a closed injection is the one who should stand up the most.

"I forgot to tell you yesterday!"

Xu Haiyang walked up to Chen Shu, who was warming up and preparing to go on the relay.

"What?"

Chen Shu ran out and sprinted back, panting and looking at Xu Haiyang.

"Your 10 seconds tied the Asian youth record of Buri Pengwen Song in the Thailand Open two years ago!"

"Bri Pengwen Song?"

Chen Shu heard this guy's name and seemed to be a sprinting genius.

"I checked the Internet yesterday, especially in Southeast Asia. You've become famous, but no one thought you were a world champion in swimming!"

Xu Haiyang smiled, and Chen Shu spread his hands: "I guess... we'll know today!"

If it continues to ferment, it will only get deeper and deeper, but Chen Shu obviously won't take this matter to heart. After participating in the next 4*100m relay, he will fully prepare for the World Cup of Swimming to improve his experience! .
