After quitting sports, I became a chef

For track and field players...or for athletes in general, this year's winter training time has passed too quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the three-month winter training ended, and with the arrival of spring, when everything was recovering, the domestic and foreign track and field indoor tours started again.

In previous years, if domestic track and field players wanted to participate in some top indoor tournaments, they had to go to Europe. This year is different. In March, the World Indoor Athletics Championships was held in N City, China. The 3-day indoor championships also In March, which is still somewhat chilly in spring, it has attracted the attention of track and field enthusiasts from all over the world.

In this World Indoor Athletics Championships schedule, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao are still qualified for the 400-meter sprint event, and Chen Yadan is still a member of the women's team.

As the world's top indoor track and field competition hosted by China for the first time, domestic media and audiences still have a high degree of audience for this competition. However, compared with outdoor competitions, the indoor competition has different rules on the 400 meters. It is the World Indoor Athletics Championships held every two days. The attitude of most players towards this game is still "a warm-up match after winter training", and the overall competitive atmosphere is not particularly strong.

But for ordinary viewers, this World Indoor Athletics Championships is a rare top event that can be seen in China. Does it matter if it is an indoor or outdoor championship?Seeing the top players compete in person is the end of the game!

The World Indoor Athletics Championships held in city n this time has ushered in a frenzy of buying tickets from the beginning of the ticket sales. During the 3-day schedule, all tickets were sold out smoothly. In the indoor stadium newly built for this competition in city n, All audience seats were fully occupied, and the entire indoor arena, except for a small number of foreign audiences, was almost a sea of ​​red.

For domestic track and field athletes, few people have experienced the exciting feeling that the audience is cheering for themselves, especially the athletes in the 400-meter sprint event. Given their age, the b During the Olympic Games in Beijing, they were just ordinary sports school students, and there were young ones like Qiu Wen and Li Junhao, who didn't even have the concept of professional athletes back then.

In the World Athletics Championships held in City B five years ago, Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yadan were not qualified to participate in the 5-meter sprint event.

Even though Zhang Ziyi had personally watched the grand occasion of the World Athletics Championships in City B and felt the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience, the feeling of watching from the sidelines was still nothing compared to the excitement of being at the scene.

Under the influence of the cheering atmosphere of the audience, many players couldn't hold back, and broke out in an amazing competitive state.

这一次的室内锦标赛上，参加了本次比赛的李俊豪、邱文和张子义3人，挨个儿轮番刷新了一遍400米的全国纪录，将19年张子义刷新过的45秒89的室内全国纪录，从45秒87刷到45秒82，最终由张子义又一次把成绩定格在了45秒76这个新纪录上。

For the women's team, although Chen Yadan failed to break the national record, she also ran the best result in the past 20 years, which made all the spectators who came to watch the game feel quite excited.

The 3-day indoor championship passed by in a flash. Although the schedule of the indoor championship this time was short, it also allowed many spectators to see the progress made by the players of the national team during winter training.

The most obvious ones are Qiu Wen and Li Junhao. Before the competition, although some people had predicted that the two would achieve better results, people still did not expect that Qiu Wen, Li Junhao and Zhang Ziyi could take turns to take the lead. The national indoor 400-meter sprint record that was just refreshed last year was refreshed one by one.

Although Qiu Wen and Li Junhao still failed to make it to the finals in this indoor championship, their outstanding performance in the semi-finals was enough to satisfy the audience and track and field fans watching the game.

In the men's 4x400m competition of this indoor championship, it was the first time that Zhang Jiale participated as a candidate for the 4x400m men's sprint relay team. Although in the final competition, Su Bai still chose Guo Dun as the main player to appear, but It was the first time in the competition that Zhang Jiale felt the audience's expectations and support for their own players on the field.

After the World Indoor Athletics Championships in March, domestic audiences were still reminiscing about the competition, but the national team's 3-meter event had been directly dispersed by Su Bai, and sent to various indoor tournaments at home and abroad to find The feel of the game.

For example, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, and Li Junhao have been sent abroad by Su Bai to participate in various international competitions since last year, while Guo Dun was still kept in China by Su Bai at the beginning of last year, and did not do anything for them. Schedule international matches.

This year is different. In terms of this year's schedule, Guo Dun and Zhang Jiale, who has just entered the national team, have international schedules on their backs, but it is different from Zhang Ziyi and others running in Europe. Although Guo Dun and Zhang Jiale's 2020 schedule is also The international competitions are scheduled, but Guo Dun and Zhang Jiale's international competitions are still mainly in Asia, and there are also a small number of European competitions. The selected competitions are mainly Grand Prix level, mainly to allow Guo Dun and Zhang Jiale to increase part of the international competition. game experience.

In the national team, the most special member is Zhang Ziyi.

In last year's competition, Zhang Ziyi's time of 44 seconds successfully pushed his world ranking into the top 81 of the year. During winter training, Zhang Ziyi received an invitation letter from the IAAF for the 20 Diamond League.

When the national team announced the invitation list for this year's Diamond League, Zhang Ziyi's name also inspired the track and field fans.

This is the first invitation letter issued by the IAAF to the Chinese national team for the men's 400-meter sprint event. In Asia, this invitation letter from Zhang Ziyi can be regarded as second to none.

Although it is always a cliché to mention the results of China's 400-meter sprint two or three years ago, track and field fans who have watched the men's 400-meter sprint all the way to the present in the past two or three years will always look back at this moment Take a look at what was once difficult.

Huang Yilun and his brothers are like this.

After learning that Zhang Ziyi had actually received an invitation to the Diamond League, Huang Yilun's group quickly became active again.

The horse doesn't eat grass: [Brothers, invitation to the Diamond League! ! !Our 400-meter sprint event has finally come to this day! ! 】

Lao Yong didn't want to run: [Hey, who said it wasn't?When I saw the list of invitees today, I thought I was wrong, but after thinking about it again, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Shuai being invited!Last year he had a time of 44 seconds. In fact, we should have thought of being eligible to be invited to the Diamond League this year. That is, we had never thought of this before, and we were surprised today. 】

Huang is serious Huang: [Who said it wasn't?Two or three years ago, who of us would dare to think about the Diamond League?If Zhang Shuai can run a few more World Athletics Challenge races, that's enough for us to watch... After two months of rest, I'm exhausted at the end. 】

Huang Yilun was talking about the feelings of domestic track and field fans when they watched the Chinese team players participate in the 400-meter sprint international competition.

At that time, the only domestic player who could play was Zhang Ziyi. Although Guo Dun was ranked second in the country, his pb hadn't even broken 46 seconds, and it was already difficult to participate in Asian-level competitions.

Not to mention Guo Dun, Zhang Ziyi participated in international competitions at that time, and the times when he could break 46 seconds were few.

Although this result is not at the bottom of the challenge competition, there are really few events that track and field fans can watch happily, and watching live broadcasts of foreign track and field grand prix is ​​not as convenient as it is now. At that time, TV stations Neither the website nor the website dared to spend a lot of money to purchase webcasting rights, because they were afraid that the attention would be too low and no one would watch it. Track and field fans were often waiting for the results of the competition, and then someone would go to foreign websites to pick up relevant competition videos and come back.

Most of the time, the big guys can only look at the game results, or add a few photo reports sent by overseas reporters, and then have a good time.

Huang is serious Huang: [Although it is an old saying, in the past two or three years, the domestic track and field competitions have really been the same every year. Whether it is the quality of the competition or the degree of attention, it is no longer comparable to that year. 】

The horse doesn't eat grass: [Isn't it?Didn't I say that two days ago?I went to watch a domestic indoor tournament. Among them, the runners in the 400-meter sprint event were not the same as in the past, let alone the speed results on the field. This is the most intuitive. You can directly see it on the spot. Compared with the past games in that game, the progress of the players' performance is not 01:30 points. 】

Lao Yong doesn't want to run: [I know about this, I asked someone about it, Mr. Su gave two lectures during winter training last year and this year, and the 400-meter coaches from various provincial teams and sports schools across the country competed for this The number of places to attend classes is almost torn up. These coaches said that they have gained a lot, and they will use it to adjust their team's training plan when they go back. 】

Lao Yong doesn't want to run: [In addition, the leaders in the domestic competition are one from the provincial track and field team where Boss Su was staying, and the other is the players from the previous training camp of Boss Su who have returned. Those selected for the trial training camp, even if they were not originally in the 400-meter event, most of them chose to switch to the event. After they returned to their original teams, the later they returned, the more attention they received... All of them They are all in the team as treasures. Now that a winter training has passed, plus what they learned during the trial training of the national team, these guys have also begun to exert their strength in the domestic competition. 】

Lao Yong doesn't want to run: [In addition to these players, those veterans, their respective coaches also have new ideas after Mr. Su's training. Although the follow-up effect of these veterans' training plan adjustments is temporarily invisible, it probably is. Just in the past two years, the overall performance of the 400-meter event will definitely change a lot. 】

In general, there were players from the provincial team of S Province in the past, and then there were players of the right age in the trial camp. In addition, the coaches taught by Su Bai had a more scientific understanding of the training and coaching methods of the 400-meter event.

Under such a big change in the environment, the 400-meter sprint event that was once passed by has been completely reborn, so that those 400-meter sprinters who were just dawdling in the past are having a hard time.

In the past, these players messed around, it was you messing with me and everyone messing around. The competitive state of each player was not very good, so it didn't seem that any player was particularly bad.

But in the current environment—not to mention anything else, many 400-meter sprint novice in the team are thinking, compete well, maybe one day they may be spotted by Su Baisu and get into the national team Woolen cloth?

There are quite a few people with this idea, so in every game, why don't you try your best to show your strength?

No matter how bad it is, not being favored by Su Bai, getting a good grade is also a good thing for my future qualifications!

In such an environment, if someone messes around in the game, it will be particularly eye-catching.

While various domestic competitions are in full swing, time quietly turned to April, and Zhang Ziyi, Cui Luoheng and Wang Shen came to Doha, Qatar again on April 4.

On April 4th, the first Diamond League Doha sub-station in 17 will be officially held here!
