After quitting sports, I became a chef

A world track and field relay competition is not only related to the qualification of the relay team for the World Championships and the Tokyo Olympics, but also has the gimmick of the Japanese team's "revenge war". The coach of the Japanese track and field team will also comment on the game on the same field.

After receiving this series of information, the audience on the Internet who were already concerned about this event had greater expectations for the event that will start the next day.

That night, the athletes who were about to usher in the second day of high-intensity competitions began to prepare for rest early. Compared with the restless netizens on the Internet, these athletes got a good rest.

The next day, May 5, was also the first day of the long-awaited World Athletics Relay Competition.

在5月11日的赛程安排中,将有混合穿梭障碍接力的预赛与决赛、另外还有4x100米的男女预赛、4x400米的男子、女子以及男女混合3项的预赛。

同时，在本次接力大赛中首次出现的混合2x2x400米,由于其特殊的赛制，需要男女各一名400米选手，在比赛全程中各跑2个400米。

如果在这个项目中参赛,很有可能需要启用各个队伍中成绩最为出色的男女400米单项选手出战，这毫无疑问会影响到各个队伍对4x400米接力的3个子项目奥运名额争夺,因此,在该项目上报名队伍极少，该项也将在5月11日直接进行决赛。

The first game of the day will officially start at 11:6 p.m. on the 30th. The national team will replenish their energy around 3 p.m. and head to Yokohama Stadium to start preparing for the night's game.

Su Bai was different. While the members of the relay team were going to Yokohama Stadium, he was accompanied by an interpreter sent by the Japan Athletics Association, and drove to the live broadcast center of Yokohama TV Station.

When Su Bai and the accompanying interpreter arrived at the TV station, the coach Arakawa Ryunosuke who had invited Su Bai to "exchange" the day before had also arrived at the scene.

This is the second time for Su Bai and Arakawa to meet. Su Bai is still wearing a sports jacket with hooks to sponsor the national team, while Arakawa has changed into an exquisite suit. It seems that he attaches great importance to tonight's live broadcast.

The two looked at each other with a smile, and after greeting each other, the staff of Yokohama TV and the Japan Athletic Association had also arrived, and immediately began to communicate with the two about the later live broadcast process.

In China, the various news about the relay race the day before really made domestic netizens feel itchy. At this time, before the race started, many people on the Internet had already started discussing the race schedule of that night and Su Bai and Arakawa Ryu. A duel between the two.

On the Athletics Kingdom forum, someone had already listed the highlights of the night.

Subject post: [8 events, 5 World Championships and Tokyo Olympic places, tonight! 】

Topic content: [Unfortunately, Yokohama TV's live broadcast cannot be watched in China, and there is no Chinese translation, otherwise today's match between Su Bai and Arakawa Ryunosuke will be a highlight that cannot be missed. 】

3l: [The host summed it up pretty well, but generally speaking, the most important thing is to get the 5 places for the Tokyo Olympics. Whether it can be done or not depends on tonight. 】

5l: [Tonight's game is really a rare event where the preliminaries are more worrying than the finals. 】

On the Internet, the audience is nervously discussing the schedule that will start later, but at the Yokohama Stadium, the national relay team players who are about to face the competition in person appear to be much calmer.

Of course, this kind of calm is not due to excessive arrogance or relaxation without a clear understanding of the event. Every player present has done all they can for the upcoming event tonight.

At this moment, in their calm state, they are eager to try the next game.

At 5:30 in the evening, the ceiling lights of the Yokohama Stadium were fully turned on, illuminating the huge stadium like daylight, and the spectators who had been waiting outside the stadium for a long time began to officially enter the stadium at this moment.

Everyone in the track and field team is already preparing for the competition at the warm-up venue. There is still a distance between the warm-up venue and the official arena, but all the players who are warming up can already hear loud and clear voices coming from the direction of the stadium. Neat cheers.

The Yokohama Stadium, which can accommodate 7 people, is full of seats after all the spectators have entered. Many spectators are holding Japanese national flags in their hands, and some spectators are wearing headbands and holding cheers in their hands. Use the horn.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Yokohama TV, in the live room

A host, a translator for the Athletics Association, Su Bai, and Arakawa Ryunosuke, a total of 4 people sat in front of the live broadcast station in the live broadcast room. From the TV screen, the live broadcast station was similar to the anchor when the news was broadcast. The two live broadcast stations are arranged in a "figure of eight", the host and Arakawa are on the left, and Su Bai and the translator are on the right.

When the time came to 6:[-], the scheduled live broadcast time had also arrived. Amidst the instructions of the on-site director, the live broadcast of the World Relay Race on Yokohama TV officially kicked off.

After the on-site host finished the oral broadcast content as usual, he introduced Arakawa and Su Bai, who were on his left and right, to the audience. After the host's introduction, they asked the audience in front of the TV Hello.

As a country that is passionate about "running", Yokohama TV, which will be in charge of broadcasting the World Athletics Relay Competition that night, has naturally received great attention, regardless of the audience who already knew Arakawa's "revenge plan" the day before, Or the audience who didn't understand the cause and effect were stunned for a moment when they heard the host's introduction to Su Bai.

[!What a big deal. Is the coach of the Chinese track and field team so young? 】

[I thought coach Arakawa was already a great young talent, but this Chinese coach looks like a college student, right? 】

[Yeah, are you only 24 years old?At such an age, when entering a company in Japan, you have to prepare a picnic for the seniors during the cherry blossom season, and you have to be stationed at the cherry blossom park one day in advance, right?Has he actually become a national basic coach? 】

【...Wow, it's incredible, and the Chinese team he led has also caused the Japanese team to fail consecutively. Is there really such a genius in this world? 】

When the Yokohama TV live broadcast started, whether it was a public social platform such as Twitter in Japan or a chat software such as Line, topics related to the track and field relay competition and Su Bai began to fill up for a while.

In the TV station's live broadcast room, although it was the first time to participate in the live TV broadcast, Su Bai generally accepted it well, with the cooperation of the translator, Su Bai only needed to simply answer the questions raised by the host.

The host memory macroshi has just introduced to the audience in front of the TV the "off-court duel" between Arakawa and Su Bai tonight. Regarding the 8 games tonight, Arakawa and Su Bai need to write down their promotion for the game For the team's pre-judgment, during the interval between each game, the accuracy of Arakawa and Su Bai's pre-judgments will be judged.

At this time, the time has gradually turned to 6:20, and the first preliminaries of the mixed shuttle obstacle relay are about to start.

In the on-site runner channel of Yokohama Stadium, the teams participating in the mixed obstacle relay have already entered the field.

The members of the Chinese 4x400m relay women's team headed by Chen Yadan are on the warm-up field behind the tunnel, ready to start the final warm-up adjustments, and are ready to start their race after the mixed obstacle relay race.

After the Asian Championships, Su Bai made minor adjustments to the training direction of the women's team members, but he also stated in advance that these adjustments were based on their long-term training direction. During the match, coaches including Su Bai, Pei Jin'an, Zheng Xingguo and others did not put too much pressure on the women's team.

It's just that there is no pressure. For the girls of the women's team, it is actually the greatest pressure.

Originally, in the Asian Championships, although the girls of the women's team were not very satisfied with the results at that time, they still felt a burst of joy after winning the bronze medal after the game.

But in this World Athletics Relay Competition, the girls did not get the task from Su Bai to enter the finals. Su Bai asked them to enter the finals of Group B and win the top three in Group B. .

This request stunned the girls of the track and field team for a moment, and then they understood what Su Bai meant.

——Su Bai didn't think they could qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in this competition.

The so-called Group B finals are the 9th to 16th in the preliminaries. The teams in this group also have to go to the finals, but the final results will only be recorded in the rankings and will not participate in the final medal competition.

Chen Yadan still remembered that she stood up subconsciously and wanted to ask Su Bai to change the task, but she rarely saw serious disapproval on Su Bai's face.

She still remembered the conversation with Su Bai at that time.

"How much can the American women's team score, do you remember?"

"... within 3 minutes and 23 seconds."

"Poland, England, Jamaica, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Canada... What is the average score of these teams in the competition?"

"...3 minutes and 28 seconds."

"Then, what is the current pb of our team?"

When hearing this question from Su Bai, at that moment, Chen Yadan did not answer.

She suddenly realized that since Su Bai was in charge of the national team's 400-meter event, they have become accustomed to progress and to obtain better results and achievements in the competition than before.

Even, they are not satisfied with the results of the Asian Championships. They feel in their hearts that the results of the Asian Championships are not their limit, and they can run better.

They understand that in the relay team, everyone's individual strength is not balanced enough. They understand that in terms of personal strength, they are still far from the world's top level.

But... why do they subconsciously feel that under the leadership of Su Bai, they can challenge their qualifications for the Tokyo Olympics as a matter of course?

Their current team pb time is 3:33, which is at least 88 seconds behind the teams listed by Su Bai.

This means that the players of these teams can leave them by more than 1 second per lap on average.

Facing opponents with such a disparity in strength, what they want is to rely on extraordinary performance and explosiveness to surpass them...

It was at that moment that Chen Yadan and the others realized that they always felt that they were still working hard and keeping their feet on the ground, but in fact, their hearts had already floated.

This is not the correct attitude of hard work and down-to-earth.

It was also under Su Bai's heavy hammer that the members of the women's team, led by Chen Yadan, readjusted their status. During the training for more than half a month, they set their goals right - what they want now. What you do is to perform as well as possible.

No matter which country the opponent is from, what they have to do in the game is to be themselves first!
