After quitting sports, I became a chef

Before the announcement of the standards for the Tokyo Olympics, each project had discussed the prediction of the Tokyo Olympics' achievement.

Among them, the Field Management Center has also made multiple plans for the Olympic participation standards, but not only in the discussions here in China or in discussions in other countries, it is believed that although the participation standards for the Tokyo Olympics will not be low, they are expected to be the same as those in 2020. The standards for participating in the World Athletics Championships are similar.

For example, during the Rio Olympics in 2016, in the men's 10-meter event, the qualifying time for the competition was only 16 seconds. According to this standard, Fang Yu in China can easily reach the standard. Except for Fang Yu, the current domestic [-]-meter Zhao Shu, who is ranked second in the rankings, is hopeless as long as he fights hard.

当然，如今4年时间过去了,竞技体育追寻的又是更高更快更强这样的奥运信念，成绩标准上的提升是肯定的，不过,大多数人都只是认为，提升的程度应该是从2016里约奥运的10秒16提升到2017田径世锦赛的10秒12或是本年度世锦赛标准的10秒10。

But the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee obviously does not think so.

以男子100米这个项目为例,2020的东京奥运,男子100米短跑选手想要能够获得男子100米短跑参赛资格的话，参赛的达标标准是——10秒05。

This result, the whole country, only Fang Yu can reach the standard.

No matter how courageous Pei Jinan was given, he would not dare to boast that he had the ability to refresh Zhao Shu's current 10-meter pb of 17 seconds to 10 seconds before next year.

The [-]-meter sprint is one of the sprint events that most depends on the physical talent of the players. When it comes to this [-]-second mark, although it sounds cruel, the proportion of the player's personal talent in the score is really too large.

Zhao Shu is of course a talented player, what's more, he can be said to be the player with the best sprint physical talent in China besides Fang Yu.

But compared with Fang Yu, the gap between the two is hard to measure.

In short, it is not hopeless that Zhao Shu can run within 10 seconds, but the distance between his current pb05 and 10 is far from what a year can make up.

The standard of the men's 100-meter dash is so strict, and other events are equally astonishing!

在400米短跑这个项目上，其中对男子选手的成绩要求是44秒90，女子400米短跑的参赛达标成绩则是51秒35。

For the Chinese track and field enthusiasts, the field management center, the national team and others, this achievement standard is like a pot of cold water pouring down their heads.

They originally thought that in the 400-meter event, the current progress of the Chinese team has been considerable.

After all, Zhang Ziyi has broken the indoor and outdoor national records of the 400-meter sprint one after another in the past few months, and behind him, two young guys, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao, are also striving to catch up.

Judging from their results in the indoor competition, the next outdoor season is very worth looking forward to!

As for the women's team, Chen Yadan's time of 51 seconds has already exceeded the women's 61-meter standard at this year's World Athletics Championships by 400 seconds. As a result, the women's 0.19-meter sprint standard threshold for next year's Tokyo Olympics is actually as high as 400 seconds? !

Not only that, the entry standard for the 110-meter hurdles has also reached 13 seconds. At present, in China, based on the personal best time of the players, only Cui Luoheng's 32 seconds barely reached the entry standard. Lu Mengfan's best time 13 seconds 31 is still a full 13 seconds away from this standard...

800 meters, 1500 meters, high jump...

It can be said that almost all track and field members have to face this terrible threshold of achievement.

Of course, it cannot be said that it will be very difficult for the Chinese team to meet the standards in all events. For example, women's shot put and javelin are strong domestic events. It is still easy for players to meet the standards for competition.

However, in general, the standards for the Tokyo Olympics have reached a level that can be called harsh.

After the announcement of this compliance standard, domestic sports media practitioners were taken aback, and track and field enthusiasts were also very incomprehensible to this inexplicable standard.

Everyone can understand that the Olympic competition standard is high. After all, this is also the highest hall of competitive sports in the world. However, if the improvement of the competition standard in previous sessions is used as a reference, track and field enthusiasts will not be able to calm down at all. up.

——The competition standard for the [-]-meter sprint is set so high?Are the Japanese crazy or are we crazy?

——I took a look. During the entire season last year, there were already 5 players in Japan who achieved a 10-meter time of less than 10 seconds, and 10 of them reached the standard of 05 seconds. This year, the first athlete may be born at any time Four, the Japanese may not be crazy, they can compete at full capacity in the men's 3 meters!

——So the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee deliberately set this high standard?Where is the face?

——But this time, the standards for all projects are very strict, and Japan is not good at every project, right?

In addition to these discussions, the first batch of newsletters from various sports media also began to be published on the Internet as soon as possible.

"Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee releases entry standards for track and field events-the most stringent in history! "

"10 meters 05 seconds [-]!Only Fang Yu in China can qualify for the [-]-meter competition! "

"Men's 400-meter sprint competition standard is 44 seconds 90!Can the Chinese track and field team break through this barrier? "

"Men's high jump competition standard is 2 meters 33, a gap of 1 centimeter, can Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao overcome it?" ! "

"Heroines in track and field - women's shot put, discus, javelin show that they are not afraid of the most stringent challenges in history!" "

On the Internet, ordinary people didn't quite understand what happened at first, but track and field enthusiasts had already made a fuss because of this exorbitant entry standard.

Subsequently, as the discussions among track and field enthusiasts spread and reports from various sports media rushed in, the recent new track and field fans finally figured out what happened.

Although these new fans know that these standards seem to be very high, after all, they have not known track and field for a long time, and they don't really know much about track and field events, so they don't have as much nervousness and anxiety in their hearts as old fans. perturbed.

On the Athletics Kingdom's forum, some people were discussing whether Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao could cross the 2-meter line within a year.

In this building, some new fans are very curious about it.

32l: [Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao's best scores are both 2 meters, aren't they?There is only a gap of 32 cm, so there should be no problem, right? 】

37l: [The one on the 32nd floor in front is a newcomer, right?Then you don't know, less than a year ago, neither of them passed the threshold of 2 meters!These two are talented, potential, and hardworking. After the older generation of high jumpers retired, they are currently the top performers in the domestic high jump event. But even so, no one dares to say that they are Must be able to jump 30 meters 2 in the competition.Calculated according to last year's results, the result of 33 meters was the top 2 in the world last year. What is your standard for this result? 】

40l: [=mouth=? !World's top 8 of the year? !Is this the qualifying result for the Olympics... Are the Japanese crazy? ? ? 】

42l: [Who said it wasn't?Do you know now?Why are we all worried... After all, in the whole of last year, there were only 11 people in the world who could jump to this height. 】

46l: [...The Tokyo Olympics in Japan only intends to let these 11 people participate in the high jump competition? ? ?Not so crazy? 】

50l: [Hey, there were 11 jumps last year, but this year may not be the case. Open the IAAF website and take a look. In the world ranking of men's high jump in 2017, 2 meters can be ranked fourth. How about it?Is it great? 】

52l: [...Then this is really amazing?Does the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee not want athletes to participate? 】

Of course, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee is not refusing players to participate.

As for the field management center, after the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee's entry standards were announced, the cadres of the field management center headed by Wang Zhengsheng and others couldn't sit still anymore, and directly asked the staff to bring all the existing materials at hand, and directly killed them all. When he arrived at the national team, he called up all the coaches currently in the national team and held an emergency meeting.

At present, the members of the team are all participating in indoor tournaments or domestic indoor regional competitions, while coaches and players of some events without indoor events are still training in the team.

After the cadres of the field management center rushed to the national team training base, the coaches shouted and they were basically complete.

Of course Su Bai was also among them. He took the 400m men's team coach Wang Ting and the women's team coach Zheng Xingguo, and followed Pei Jin'an directly to the big meeting room of the national team, ready to listen to the discussion topics.

In fact, Su Bai could probably guess what the topic of discussion was.

Just now, the coaches in the team were also discussing the entry standard released by the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee.

"This Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee is probably crazy..." Wang Ting sighed, with an irritable look on his face.

The current 400-meter sprint event is indeed much better than in previous years. Wang Ting originally discussed it with Zheng Xingguo in private, saying that he can go to the Olympic Games with the national team next year!

For the 400-meter sprint event, it was unimaginable in the previous Olympic Games.

But this time it was a good thing, he and Lao Zheng were still having fun, but a bucket of cold water came down... 45 seconds 24 and 44 seconds 90, the gap between them was a full 0.34 seconds...

Can Zhang Ziyi really do it?

Zheng Xingguo did not speak. After all, he was older than Wang Ting. Although the current emergency situation exceeded his psychological expectations, he still felt that there might not be hope.

Before the leaders of the field management center came to speak on stage, the coaches of the national team were discussing with each other the standard that was just announced today. Except for the coaching staff members of those strong sports, the rest of the coaches, every The word dignified is written on one face.

Wang Zhengsheng and others from the field management center did not keep everyone waiting for too long. The staff they brought had already connected the data and materials with the staff here at the national team training base. In addition to direct projection on the screen, the printed version All the documents have been prepared and distributed to the coaches one by one.

In this material, the standards for meeting the standards for the Tokyo Olympics are of course the same as those for the outside world. The difference is that in each event, the players with the best performance or potential in the country are listed, and the pb of these players is also listed. How much is it? It also lists the year and game in which their pb was created. In addition to pb, it also lists the results of these players in the last three outdoor games.

These materials are obviously the data that the Athletic Management Center has been continuously following up. After the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee released the Olympic Athletics Standards, all these materials were integrated in such a short period of time. It can be seen that the Athletic Management Center It also attaches great importance to the standards of this Tokyo Olympics.

For the coaches present, each of them has a basic understanding of the situation of their own projects. Most of them paid attention to whether the data issued by the field management center was consistent with the content they had mastered. After confirming that there was no problem, they also briefly scanned Go through the data of other sister projects and the situation of domestic pre-selected players.

After reading it, all the coaches did not speak, but sighed slightly in their hearts-no matter which project it is, it is not easy!

They originally thought that after the variety show in this year's winter training became popular, the track and field event was finally going to explode, but when the competition standards for the Tokyo Olympics came down, it was a cold shot.

Whether the variety show is popular or not is just the icing on the cake for these track and field people, and what really matters to them is the qualifications for events like the Olympics.

Although for many spectators, they can only qualify for the competition, and it is very meaningless to travel in the Olympic round, but now, there are many events, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with this round of travel.

This terrible result is not a pleasant thing even for the coaches of those strong sports.

The leaders of the field management center were very accurate in timing the coaches. When everyone had read the data in their hands, Wang Zhengsheng and others appeared on the stage and said hello to all the coaches.

"Everyone, let's not say any polite words today. Everyone should have already got the entry standards for the Tokyo Olympics. Today's emergency meeting is to talk to everyone about the entry standards. How sure are you of meeting the entry standards?"

It was Wang Zhengsheng who spoke. Immediately after his words fell, a coach from the audience asked questions.

"The competition standards for the Tokyo Olympics are so high this time, just like high jumps. There should not be many players who can reach these competition standards within a limited time, right? Is this the only way for the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee to meet the standards?"

This is also the question of many coaches present. It is true that the standard is set too high this time. There are really not many people who can easily meet this unbelievable performance standard within a year.

Not to mention anything else, such as 44 seconds, in the seasons of 90 and 18, it can be ranked among the top 17 in the world, and it is obvious that the Olympic preliminaries are definitely not among these 30 people.

"That's right." Jiang Wentao took the question, nodded and said, "According to the regulations, if a country does not have qualified players in a certain event, it can send the best player in the country to participate in the event."

"In addition to this, there is another way of participation that we are about to talk about. The IAAF and the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee have reached a consensus, based on the IAAF World Ranking Points just launched this year. In fact, this time the To participate in the Tokyo Olympics, there are two ways for players to reach the standard, and the number of players admitted by the two ways of reaching the standard is divided into half."

"In addition to the above-mentioned methods of achieving the standards, the IAAF will also select players from top to bottom according to the world ranking points before the specified date."

Having said that, Su Bai looked up at Wang Zhengsheng, Jiang Wentao and others on the stage, and understood the meaning of these words.

This IAAF world ranking point is the latest ranking calculation method launched by the IAAF at the end of 18. This point will be officially launched on January 19, 1.

This ranking is not based entirely on the strength of the players, but based on the level of competition the players have participated in, and the results obtained by the players in the level of competition. These data are converted into IAAF points, and these points are used to rank the players in the world.

The reason why this score cannot fully reflect the strength of the players is because some players with medium grades can make up for their lack of overall performance and strength with "diligence" through a large number of competitions. Therefore, although some players in China After the players appeared in this IAAF ranking, their personal rankings were good, but they did not receive much attention from the team.

Obviously, the IAAF is also aware of this problem. They should hope that by binding the IAAF points ranking with the Olympic qualifications, athletes around the world will pay more attention to this points ranking.

After all, the IAAF must also know how strict the standards for track and field participation in the Tokyo Olympics are. If they can qualify for the competition through points ranking, then the IAAF ranking list will become a must for world athletes. It's time for contention.

Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help guessing in his mind—maybe the standards for track and field participation in the Tokyo Olympics are so strict this time, and there may also be handwriting from the IAAF.

After listening to Jiang Wentao's words, among the people present, not only Su Bai, but also many coaches understood what was going on.

Although these coaches don't like to play tricks, but when it comes to brains, of course no one is bad.

The actions of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee and the IAAF, of course, cannot be said to be wrong. This ranking method can also qualify some athletes who cannot meet the competition standards to participate in the Olympics, but...the coaches here are always a little bit No energy.

Logically speaking, if the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee follows the standards of previous years and raises some more, for example, if some reasonable data is added to the participation standards of this year's World Athletics Championships, everyone will work hard and speak with their strength, and the results will be good. .

But now it's different.

The top players, of course, can still successfully advance to the Olympics, but the other players who might have been able to achieve low first-line results through hard work, may now need to turn to the competition to score points.

It's not that it's bad for athletes to participate in competitions to win points, but now that the Olympics are only a year and a half away, which one of these coaches is carefully adjusting their training and What about the state of the competition?

And every time you participate in the competition, if you want to get high points, you need to participate in some high-level competitions. Whether it is the state adjustment preparation before the competition, or the long-distance travel, these are an interference to the overall state adjustment of the athletes.

However, among the players who had the opportunity to qualify for the competition, there may be a group of players whose grades are slightly lower than theirs. If these players compete with their own hard power, it will be difficult to reach a slightly lower standard than the current one. , but they can go out and compete more, earn more points...

For these coaches, if the players under them were originally strong enough, but they were squeezed out of the Olympic qualification because they didn't have as many matches as others... then they would really be suffocated.

It can be said that the method of obtaining the Olympic qualification this time is indeed not so satisfactory.

On the stage, Wang Zhengsheng said to the coaches: "I know that everyone may have some small ideas about how to qualify for the competition this time. As for our field management center, we still encourage everyone and hope that our players will be as good as possible. By meeting the competition results, we will be eligible for the Tokyo Olympics next year."

"This way of obtaining qualifications for the competition, firstly, our coaches can make scientific and reasonable arrangements for the status of each athlete, and secondly, we can also take this as a challenge. Improve upwards, as long as we really succeed in the challenge, then in the Olympic Games, I believe our track and field athletes will have a much better chance of winning."

Wang Zhengsheng's statement has been recognized by most of the coaches. Of course, they are not particularly rigid people. The coaches have already made plans in their hearts-for some top players, of course, they can't mess around and let them try their best to pass the results. Qualify for the Olympics.

But... For some players in the team who originally had little hope of qualifying for the competition, it can be considered, should they arrange a reasonable 'competition process'?

In the subsequent meeting, the field management center communicated briefly with the coaches, and re-confirmed whether the data of each player was missing or updated in the previously distributed meeting materials. List of players', in the next time, the field management center will focus on these players.

After the meeting was over, some coaches stayed and had other follow-up discussions with Wang Zhengsheng and others. Jiang Wentao also kept Su Bai, and asked him privately how Cui Luoheng's eight-to-seven training was going.

"The current state is not bad, and it is still in the final adaptation and adjustment." Su Bai replied truthfully.

Jiang Wentao frowned: "Then now, can he run to his previous pb?"

This refers to Cui Luoheng's time of 13 seconds.

Su Bai didn't give a definite answer for a while: "...it depends on the final adjustment."

"Alas..." Jiang Wentao shook his head: "If I had known about the situation in the Tokyo Olympics, I should have let you focus on stability."

Unfortunately, this is something no one thought of.
