After quitting sports, I became a chef

After the national team arrived in Doha, for the next three days, they followed the teams from various countries and went to the Doha Stadium for adaptive training according to the arrangement of the organizer.

For example, the Chinese team arrived in Doha only 3 days before the game. The arrival time is not too early. After the team members simply adjusted and adapted, on September 9, the most important international competition of the year, also Finally officially opened the curtain.

Due to the hot weather in Doha, the time of the World Championships this time is not arranged in the morning and evening as in previous years, but all the events are arranged after 4:30 pm.

When Su Bai arrived at the Doha Stadium with Pei Jinan, Jiang Wentao and others, the huge stadium was already filled with spectators except some reserved seats.

Doha has been looking forward to being able to host this World Championships with enthusiasm and anticipation. Today, the long-awaited grand event is finally held. The excitement of Doha citizens can be said to be no less than the original Olympic Games. The Chinese people at the time of the Chinese event.

"It's a sea of ​​people..." Jiang Wentao looked at the scene with a smile, and then took Su Bai and others to sit in the reserved seats in the Chinese player area of ​​the auditorium.

It was 3:4 in the afternoon. Before the first match at 30:[-], there was still about half an hour of the opening ceremony of the World Championships. At this time, the atmosphere was already very hot.

For the opening ceremony, Jiang Wentao and others didn't pay special attention to it. What they really cared about were the players and events that would appear on the first day of the competition.

It's almost 10 o'clock in the evening in China now, but because of the opening of the World Championships, many track and field fans are particularly excited. After all, the Chinese team has a strong lineup this year, and in the most exciting few Compared with the past, there have been qualitative breakthroughs in track events.

In previous years, for example, in the 400-meter sprint event, there was not even a single qualified athlete, so track and field fans could only watch athletes from other countries make a splash in this top track and field event, but this year is different Now, no matter what the result is, they can also look forward to the performance of their own players on the field!

On the first day of the World Championships, the most eye-catching events are naturally the men's 100m qualifying and group preliminaries.

In this World Championships, in the men's 100-meter sprint event, although Fang Yu was the only one who ran into the 10 mark, in fact, there were not many players who really qualified for the competition by running into the mark. 10 places, so there are still some remaining places, which will be distributed to the winners of the qualifying rounds through the qualifying rounds.

Some of the contestants in this part of the qualifying competition have obtained pre-qualification through the world rankings, and there are also those whose country has no qualifications, so the number one athlete in the country is allowed to select players to participate in the qualifying competition.

Zhao Shu, who ranks second in the domestic sprint, has also successfully entered the list of qualifying competitions in this event by virtue of his best time of 10 seconds this season.

The men's 100m qualifying competition and the men's long jump qualifying competition will also be the first two events to start after the opening ceremony.

For this event, neither Jiang Wentao and others who were sitting at the scene, nor domestic netizens, were not too worried. In the qualifying stage, due to the particularity of the contestants, most of the selected contestants were It is impossible to compete with a player like Zhao Shu who has qualified by virtue of his own ranking.

The fact is also the same. After the start of the men's 100m qualifying round, Zhao Shuqing easily advanced to the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds.

This qualifying match, which seems to be not enough for warm-up, is indeed not very exciting, but for Jiang Wentao and others in the audience, the official men's 1-meter preliminaries in one and a half hours later are the most important .

Because there were not many entries for the Chinese team on the first day's schedule, Wang Shen, Ye Wenhao, Cui Luoheng and others were all present on the Chinese players' bench at the moment, but Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen did not come to watch the match with the team today.

The men's 400-meter preliminaries are scheduled for tomorrow's race. On the eve of the big battle tonight, they will of course stay in the sports village to recharge their batteries and prepare for tomorrow's preliminaries in the best condition.

On-site, warm-up waiting area

After Zhao Shu finished the qualifying round and quickly received his new group form, he returned to the waiting area, briefly replenished his physical fitness, and met Fang Yu.

Although for the audience, the qualifiers were nothing to watch, and Zhao Shu seemed to have won easily, but he was not really relieved until he returned to the waiting room at this moment.

In fact, from the moment the World Championships kicked off, for athletes like them, how could there be any ease at all?

Zhao Shu used to be ambitious and always wanted to surpass Fang Yu's performance, but every time he stood on the international arena, he could deeply feel the responsibility and pressure that Fang Yu shouldered all the time. It is the pressure of those who are the top performers of domestic projects.

In the lounge, after seeing Zhao Shu, Fang Yu greeted him with a smile: "Zhao Shu, you ran well just now."

Just as Zhao Shu thought in his heart, Fang Yu was a little tense at the moment, but he was relaxing his state by constantly clenching his fists.

If it is enough for Zhao Shu to qualify for the group preliminaries of the main match, then for Fang Yu, just like what he said to reporters before departure, in this World Championships, His mission is to reach the final.

Ever since Fang Yu opened the ten-second mark again, he is no longer simply a representative of Chinese flying people, but also a representative of Asian flying people.

Asians have always been at the bottom of the food chain in sprint competitions, just as scientists once demonstrated that the 10-meter limit for yellow people is [-] seconds. In the sprint field of world track and field, there is also a default yellow race. The restricted area is the final circle of top competitions.

The final circle of the men's [-]-meter event in the World Athletics Championships is such a 'forbidden zone'.

In this 'forbidden zone', there have always been only black and white people. Up to now, there has never been a pure Asian player who can break into this legendary forbidden place on the [-]-meter straight track.

Before coming to the World Championships this time, Fang Yu had a long talk with his coach Pei Jin'an. After that long talk, the two of them adjusted his goal in this World Championships to break through Into the men's [-]m finals!

In the auditorium, Pei Jin'an's expression became more and more serious as time passed.

The current competition on the field is a qualifying competition for the women's high jump. The Chinese team has no players participating. Jiang Wentao looked at the field and turned to Pei Jin'an and said, "What? Worried about Fang Yu?"

Although Fang Yu's achievement breakthrough before, half of the achievements should be attributed to Su Bai, but Pei Jin'an is indeed Fang Yu's real head coach. Together, they are configuring a training plan for Fang Yu.

Not only Pei Jinan knew Fang Yu's goal for this competition, but Su Bai and Jiang Wentao also knew it clearly.

In fact, to be honest, Fang Yu's goal for this competition is a goal given by the general team, and it is not compulsory. It's just that both Pei Jin'an and Fang Yu himself want to seize the current excellent state and move towards the so-called 'Restricted area' sprints.

Pei Jin'an nodded, and now he regretted setting such a big goal for Fang Yu before the game, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Jiang Wentao patted Pei Jinan on the shoulder, and didn't say much at the moment, just calmly waiting for the [-]-meter preliminaries to start.

Domestically, on the Athletics Kingdom Forum

When Zhao Shu won the official qualification for the group stage in the qualifying round, the forums of the Athletics Kingdom were still relatively calm, but there were posts praising Zhao Shu for his stable performance today, and hoped that he could bring this stable state into the next round. In the group stage.

But when the time was getting closer to the official match of the group stage, a large number of posts finally began to appear on the sprint section of the forum, and they began to worry about Fang Yu's progress in the preliminaries.

[Looking at the list of opponents this time, I am a little worried, whether Brother Fang can successfully advance to the semi-finals...]

[I don’t think you need to worry. After looking at the promotion rules, there are a total of 6 groups. The top 3 in each group will advance directly, and the top 6 of the remaining players will be promoted. In fact, according to Fang Yu’s results, as long as he can run within 10 seconds Within that time, the semi-finals will be stable, 20 seconds 10 is actually not difficult for Fang Yu...]

[Brothers in front, Fang Yu’s goal is to break through to the finals. In this case, the key point is to be in a stable state. Today, he must run at least 10 seconds. Tomorrow’s semi-finals, according to the results of previous sessions, at least 20 seconds It is stable within 10, so if you really want to run into the finals, do you have to save your physical fitness and rush for the ranking? 】

There are a lot of voices coming and going on the forum, but in the final analysis, everyone is also nervous, hoping that Fang Yu can really go straight to the final as he promised in this World Championship... But I was also worried in my heart or kept paving the way for Fang Yu with various factors that might affect his performance, and hoped that Internet public opinion would not become part of the pressure on him.

The tense and contradictory entangled atmosphere had already spread around before the start of the men's [-]-meter preliminaries on the first day of the World Championships.

At 100 o'clock local time in Doha, in the midst of everyone's tangled and anticipating mood, it was finally announced on the scene that the six group preliminaries of the men's 6-meter sprint will officially begin!

For the opening of this important preliminaries, all the audience on the scene echoed enthusiastically, which made the boiling index of the entire stadium soar up a few points.

Zhao Shu and Fang Yu are in the second and fourth groups of the preliminaries respectively. What they have to do in this preliminaries is to try their best to break through the preliminaries first.

Although he also had great expectations for reaching the semi-finals, Zhao Shu knew in his heart that he had little hope of advancing to the semi-finals... Under such circumstances, Fang Yu's results must be guaranteed.

Zhao Shu, who was still warming up in the waiting area, suddenly remembered when he received the notification from the staff that he was about to go on stage. He hurried to Fang Yu's side and handed him a sentence: "There is a big difference between the air conditioner in the venue and the outdoor temperature. ,be careful."

This is also how he felt in the last qualifying match. The air-conditioning circulation system of the Doha Stadium is very strong, but this air-conditioning circulation system does not cover the outdoor warm-up waiting area. When athletes suddenly enter the field after warming up outdoors, It is very likely that the chance of injury on the field will be increased due to the temperature difference between inside and outside.

After Fang Yu heard it, he didn't say anything else, just nodded his head: "I see, come on!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, at competitions such as the World Athletics Championships, the old partners Shao Minyi and Li Sen were naturally responsible for the commentary of the track and field events.

Since the start of the first match just now, the two of them have been chatting and talking, discussing the situation of various events on the first day of the World Championships.

The main thing I said earlier was that the event was postponed to the end of September due to the weather in Doha that day. The two were discussing whether this World Championship will be forced to adjust the climax period due to the hot climate and athletes, which will lead to this World Championship. The decline in the overall performance level of the competition.

Of course, after the men's [-]-meter group preliminaries started, the focus of the conversation turned to the two players of the Chinese team, Fang Yu and Zhao Shu.

In fact, Zhao Shu's talent in the [-]-meter sprint is definitely not bad for being able to stand as the second place in the domestic men's [-]-meter sprint. It's just that Fang Yu has already risen in the country before he became famous. When Shu's performance improved rapidly, Fang Yu opened the ten-second barrier for the first time.

During that period of time when the whole of Asia was cheering for Fang Yu, Zhao Shu was also depressed because he could not surpass Fang Yu's sense of powerlessness, but he finally gritted his teeth and carried it over. Some people know his name, and he still runs game after game on the track.

邵敏一介绍赵树也非常郑重：“赵树是目前国内除了方宇之外，唯一一个能够跑进百米10秒20关卡的选手，目前他的个人pb是10秒12，非常有希望在明年打开10秒10大关。”

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, some people were puzzled that Fang Yu had opened the 10-second mark many times, but Zhao Shu was the only domestic athlete who could run under 10 besides Fang Yu?

But old track and field fans also know clearly in their hearts that there is a proud athlete like Fang Yu in China. It is not because the men's [-]-meter event in China is really outstanding, but because of Fang Yu's talent. That's all for the whole project.

On the barrage, many people were cheering for Zhao Shu, but this was not so much cheering as comforting.

In fact, the second group of the preliminaries that Zhao Shu drew was pretty good. The upper limit of the level of this group of players is not high, and the strongest sb is only 9 seconds. Close, the weakest player, the best time this season is 96 seconds, and the second last sb is Zhao Shu himself.

The audience in the live broadcast room and Shao Minyi and Li Sen from the sports channel were still looking forward to the start of the preliminaries of the second group, hoping that Zhao Shu could have a miracle of strength, but unfortunately, Everyone could see that Zhao Shu had tried his best, but in the end he still only won the fifth place in the group in the preliminaries.

10 seconds, this is Zhao Shu's final result in the preliminaries. This result is already better than his result in the qualifying round an hour and a half ago, but the fifth place in the group... The only thing Zhao Shu can hope for now is, Even the contestant Tai Cai in this preliminaries, with a time of 26 seconds, can also rank in the top six among the remaining contestants.

"From the replay, we can see that Zhao Shu hesitated a little at the start, and his 0.182 start reaction time was a bit of a failure in today's competition, which prevented his performance from reaching the ideal state."

When the players in the second group and the third group were exchanging in the preliminaries, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also discussing Zhao Shu's mistakes in this game, and the most obvious one was the start reaction as high as 0.182 seconds It's time, this data is 0.05 seconds behind the fastest player in the same group.

If Zhao Shu can concentrate more when listening to the gun in today's competition... don't say 0.05, just improve the final score from 10 seconds to 26 seconds, then the qualification for supplementary promotion will be even higher Several times.

However, after the game, many people can say that only the players themselves can understand the rapid changes on the field.

When the value is represented as 0.0x seconds, it is easy to say, but the response changes between those milliseconds are not something you want to do, you can do it.

When Zhao Shu passed through the athlete's corridor, Fang Yu was already waiting here. Zhao Shu didn't say much when he saw Fang Yu. The two just clapped their hands tacitly when Zhao Shu passed by. Without looking in Fang Yu's direction, he continued to go to the lounge.

10 seconds 32 and 10 seconds 26.

Adding up to a mere 20 seconds, Zhao Shu knew that his personal time in this world's top track and field was over, although there was still a slim hope of making up for the promotion.

In the auditorium, after seeing the results of the second group of the preliminaries, Pei Jinan frowned a little more. He turned his head to look at Su Bai next to him, as if he wanted to ask something, but he still didn't ask. .

After the second group of competitions, the third group of preliminaries soon came, and then, within a mere 10 minutes of waiting time, Fang Yu's fourth group of preliminaries also officially entered the arena.

Before the track, Fang Yu calmly adjusted his starting block, then patted his muscles to relax himself as much as possible, and then his eyes only looked towards the finish line.

The fourth group of the preliminaries that Fang Yu is in is a bit stronger than Zhao Shu's group. Among the 8 players, including himself, 4 players have a sb within 4 meters and 10 seconds, and the remaining 08 players Famous players, the worst sb is [-] seconds.

In comparison, the preliminaries he was in could be called a devil group, and among these opponents, there were also two old opponents he was familiar with.

At this time, the start of the competition is approaching, and there is no interest in greeting among the contestants. Most of the contestants are like Fang Yu. Hope to have the opportunity to step into the final step by step!

After the starter's voice sounded on the radio, the high five between him and Zhao Shu flashed in Fang Yu's mind inappropriately, and at the same moment, his attention focused on the track in front of him—bang, let's go!

On the straight-line track, 8 figures scrambled off the starting block, and then stepped on the ground with strong footsteps, providing themselves with the power to accelerate forward quickly.

Stomping, exploding, swinging arms, and stepping, the players' bodies have already been lifted up, and the soles of their feet are skillfully raised to the ground with strong force, and then their bodies seem to move forward with the force fed back from the ground. fly to...

The [-]-meter track is the most impulsive and passionate track, but on this track, Fang Yu's mind is always the clearest, his body is full of enthusiasm, and his mind clearly controls the body according to its own Advance in frequency and then conserve the necessary physical energy.

Fang Yu clearly understood that he needed to win, and when he ran halfway through, he had already realized more clearly in his heart that he would not lose this preliminaries.

Just as Fang Yu thought, in this preliminaries, he finally successfully crossed the finish line with 10 seconds and ranked second in the group and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Whether it was Pei Jin'an in the auditorium, the Chinese team, or the audience on the domestic Internet, after seeing Fang Yu's results, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

In the men's 10m preliminaries that night, just as the track and field fans predicted in advance, they made up for the semi-finals. As of 23 seconds, Zhao Shu, who ran 10 in the preliminaries, missed the semi-finals.

After the men's 400-meter group stage, there are also events such as the 5000-meter hurdles and the men's [-]-meter long-distance race. However, there are no players from the Chinese team participating in these events. Most of the domestic track and field fans who watched the live broadcast also went to rest first.

Doha Local

After the competition that night, Su Bai and his party returned to the athletes' village together. After returning to the dormitory, Su Bai did not fall asleep for the time being, but found out the materials he had prepared.

In the morning of the next day, the national team received the athlete grouping information form from the Doha World Championships. After scanning the information form, Su Bai took the information he had prepared before and called Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wenhe Li Junhao and a few others arrived in a meeting room.

"Tonight's game is not easy to play. Let me show you the opponent's profile for tonight's game."

With that said, Su Bai distributed the materials and documents that had been prepared to the hands of several people.
