The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

The game is about to start.

Xia Haoyang and others only focused their attention on Xiao Mengyan. They saw her take a deep breath, fasten her safety belt, put her hands on the climbing wall, and prepare her steps, waiting for the referee's order.

"Start! Bang!" As the starting gun sounded, Xiao Mengyan climbed up quickly like a nimble spider. The cheers from the audience came one after another, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

The climbing wall gradually rose higher and became more difficult. Xiao Mengyan climbed flexibly, and every step was full of skill and strength. It could be seen that Xiao Mengyan was very focused. She was not affected by the shouting of the audience, nor did she care about the progress of her opponents. She focused all her attention on herself, constantly looking for the best starting point and foothold, and climbed quickly.

In 8 seconds, Xiao Mengyan climbed to the top, slapped the timer with her right hand, and happily slid down the rope.

"So amazing." Xia Haoyang and others applauded Xiao Mengyan excitedly.

"So cool, did you capture the whole process? By the way, what was the score of Xiao Mengyan's opponent?" Xia Haoyang turned around and asked Qin Jiali who was standing next to him.

"6.54! A new national amateur women's rock climbing competition record was born. The famous athlete Zhou Yafei broke her own national record for amateur women's rock climbing speed competition. Let us congratulate Zhou Yafei again."

As the host shouted loudly, Xia Haoyang was shocked. "Fuck, Xiao Mengyan's opponent is so strong, she is actually the national record holder. What is the world record for professional competitions?"

Qin Jiali stretched out her right index finger and scratched her head for a while, then finally took out her phone from her bag. After searching online, she found out: "The record for women's rock climbing individual competition is 6 seconds, held by a foreigner; the best result of a Chinese athlete is 06 seconds - Deng Lijuan, Olympic silver medalist."

"Oh my god, she can reach 6 seconds in this amateur competition. It's not much different from the world record, less than half a second. Zhou Yafei is definitely at a professional level." Xia Haoyang was amazed.

Xiao Mengyan, who lost the game on stage, did not feel too sad. Instead, she happily hugged her opponent and then retreated to the backstage. Before leaving the stage, she did not forget to wave to Xia Haoyang and others who supported her.

"Let's go backstage." Juzi suggested, and then quickly squeezed towards the crowd in the direction of the backstage, followed closely by Xia Haoyang and others.

When they arrived at the backstage, they saw Xiao Mengyan who was resting on the side, so Juzi and others quickly surrounded her.

"Xiao Mengyan, are you okay? It doesn't matter if you lost. Is there another game?" Juzi asked worriedly.

Xiao Mengyan looked at the figure in the distance and answered happily: "I'm fine. The Zhou Yafei just now is very good. She is a great god in our amateur rock climbing world. Everyone says that she has the strength of a national team. It's not surprising that I lost to her. Besides, my previous best result was 9 seconds, which means I also broke my personal best today, hehe."

Everyone looked in the direction Xiao Mengyan was looking. There were several people surrounding the legendary great Zhou Yafei. There seemed to be a separate coach giving her instructions and technical guidance, an assistant fanning her, and someone who looked like a security guard standing beside her.

"You are indeed a great coach. You not only have an assistant but also a full-time coach. By the way, Xiao Mengyan, where is your coach?" Qin Jiali asked curiously.

"I don't have a full-time coach. My coach is a teacher arranged when I joined the rock climbing club. Look, over there, and next to him are the main players of our club." Xiao Mengyan pointed with her finger.

Everyone looked over and found a young, muscular coach talking to some female players. Perhaps he sensed someone was looking at him, so he glanced at Xia Haoyang and the others. He must have seen Xiao Mengyan, so he walked over.

"Jiang Mengyan, you did well today. I just watched your match and it seemed like you scored in 9 seconds, right? Congratulations."

"Thank you, coach. I also think I played well today. It was mainly because the weather was good, neither cold nor hot." Xiao Mengyan answered happily.

"There will be play-offs later, come on." The coach gave an encouraging gesture.

"Well, I will."

"Coach, don't you need some technical guidance? I saw the person who broke the record just now, the coach around him was still demonstrating. Does Xiao Mengyan need it?" Xia Haoyang asked curiously.

The coach looked Xia Haoyang up and down and said seriously, "For Jiang Mengyan, her performance is already very good, and there are not many problems with her application of technology. As long as she performs normally, she does not need any other guidance."

"No, they are more than 6 seconds, and the coach is still teaching them tirelessly. Isn't Xiao Mengyan only more than seconds? Can't you give her a few pointers so she can also get to more than seconds?"

Suddenly the coach laughed: "Xiao Mengyan is a singer, and rock climbing is purely a hobby, right? I am a coach, but I am not a god. No matter how awesome a coach is, it is impossible for a 10-meter runner to easily run under 7 seconds by just giving a few pointers. Let's take rock climbing as an example: people who can run under 11 seconds rely first on talent, which cannot be achieved by training alone. They need extremely outstanding athletic talent, explosive power, and reaction ability. Ordinary amateur players, like you, may be able to climb to the top through a certain amount of training, but 24 seconds is the limit, which is almost impossible to surpass. Xiao Mengyan has a certain physical fitness and has studied for several years, but her athletic talent and explosive power are still some distance away from the professional level. It should be said that running under 7 seconds is a manifestation of her highest potential. If you want to improve your performance, even if you put in a lot of effort and train systematically hours a day all year round like the professional players of the national team, it is still difficult to run under seconds. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Why would you bother talking so much here? Xiao Mengyan has performed very well." Juzi patted Xia Haoyang with his hand, "I'm sorry, coach, he is a complete layman, ignore him."

"You sound like an expert." Xia Haoyang muttered a few words.

But the coach's explanation was very clear, Xia Haoyang could fully understand his meaning, not looking down on Xiao Mengyan, but Xiao Mengyan's performance was already very good. For a singer who just played in her spare time every week and had no systematic training, it was a miracle for Xiao Mengyan to complete the whole process in 15 seconds facing a 8-meter-high rock climbing wall.

The sport of rock climbing has a history of over a hundred years. For a long time in the early stages of the development of this sport, its world record was 11 seconds. It was only after Japan included rock climbing in the Olympics in 2021 that the results improved significantly.

Generally speaking, it is really difficult for amateur rock climbers who have not received systematic training to break the 11-second mark. Just like in the -meter race, even professional athletes find it difficult to break the -second mark. This is not a threshold that you can easily step into as long as you train hard.
