Let's be a world champion first! [sports]

On the first day of the Asian Games track and field competition that day, the track and field national team performed well overall. In the sprint group, the 100-meter and 400-meter sprints, all the men's and women's teams successfully advanced.

Among them, the women's 400m has a small base of competitors, and there are only 3 groups in the preliminaries, so there is only one round of preliminaries, and they will directly advance to the finals. For the men's team, Yu Shuang has also qualified for the 400m finals.

That night, after seeing this result, the coaching staff of the track and field national team's sprint team nodded slightly.

Very good, on this first day of competition, no player lost the chain.

Tian Wenhan was the first one to breathe a sigh of relief - the two women's 400-meter runners are also domestic famous women's 400-meter sprint players. Although the women's team here is limited, the performance of the women's team players has always been better than the previous men's team Players need to be more stable, and this promotion to the finals is not particularly worrying.

As for the men's team that Tian Wenhan was worried about, Yu Shuang is an idiot, although he is a fool, but now Tian Wenhan has mastered the way to hang him. The task is also solved.

In the evening, in the conference room on the floor of the track and field team in the China Building of the Asian Games Village, the coaches of each event were analyzing and discussing the performance of the players and what happened during the preliminaries.

In the men's long jump qualifying competition, the long jump veteran's old injury relapsed during the competition, which may affect the original task compliance. This veteran is expected to win the long jump medal.

After the relapse of the old injury, the veteran hoped not to withdraw from the game for the time being, and wait for the final tomorrow night to see how he is, and try his best to play a closed game, but his coach does not recommend him to play a closed game.

Huang Wenyu frowned subconsciously when he heard that the player's old injury had recurred. He also didn't want the player to play with an injury: "It's not necessary. If the men's long jump can advance to the final, the task is basically completed. If the player has an injury, there is no need to force it." play."

The coach of the long jump team shook his head and sighed, "It's Zhao Linjun's own request. He's about to retire. He originally planned to retire after the end of this season. He wanted to win another Asian Games medal before retiring."

As soon as these words came out, the coaches present also frowned.

When approaching retirement, there are not many athletes who have this kind of thinking.

From their teenage years until the end of their careers, they devoted their best youthful years to the projects for their respective projects.

until retirement...

Of course they want to leave a memorable brilliance in their careers.

After hearing this reason, Huang Wenyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I won't stop this matter, you explain the pros and cons to him yourself, and play with injuries, at least the injuries will aggravate, and at the worst, there may be other effects .There will be most of my life in the future, so I will make a decision after careful consideration.”

The coaches present have more or less brought such players. They want to stop the players and not consume their bodies too much, but sometimes they look at the stubbornness in their eyes, but they are also entangled in whether this kind of blocking will let them I will regret it for the rest of my life.

No one can give a correct answer to this dilemma.

Except for Zhao Linjun's problem in the men's long jump, there were no major surprises in the other events on the first day of competition.

If you really want to say, Yu Shuang's performance is actually a surprising "surprise performance".

Looking at the curious faces of his colleagues, Tian Wenhan smiled wryly and recounted the process of how he fooled Yu Shuang. The coaches present looked at Tian Wenhan's wry smile, first laughed along with him, and then envied Tian Wenhan with the Yu Shuang's feeling.

In short, at least it is much better than the kind of players who need to be carefully cared for and whose mental state is prone to collapse at any time, right?

Qiu Mingxin clicked his tongue and said, "Old Tian, ​​your 400-meter project has been completed ahead of schedule, right?"

If this had been put aside before the first meeting of the track and field team, who would have thought that the men's 400-meter sprint, which is a long-standing problem, would be so competitive in this Asian Games?

There were other coaches beside him saying, "With Yu Shuang's level, is it possible to break the national record?"

Tian Wenhan nodded first, and then said: "There is hope, but he still has some shortcomings in grasping the rhythm. The previous time of 45 seconds was a fluke, mainly because he kept up with Rashad's pace." Rhythm, if only relying on his own rhythm, the final result will not be bad, but it is not yet at the level of 36 seconds."

Speaking of this, Tian Wenhan hesitated for a while, and said: "Although it can't reach the level of 45 seconds, I think Yu Shuang may win the medal in tomorrow's final."

"Not to mention gold and silver medals, at least the bronze medal is expected to compete."

Tian Wenhan didn't dare to speak too harshly, but he had a private chat with Xing Yuanzhi and the others before the meeting, and they all felt that if Yu Shuang could maintain a stable performance, he might really win the bronze medal.

It's just that, thinking of this, and thinking about the last Asian Games, when the men's 400 meters won the last place in the semi-final... Tian Wenhan himself felt a little dazed.

Once upon a time, their men's 400-meter sprinters could start thinking about the medals of the Asian Games!

Qiu Mingxin interjected at this moment, jokingly said: "Hey, speaking of rhythm, maybe this Yu Shuang will be able to keep up with the rhythm of Bassam in Qatar or Abbas in Bahrain tomorrow? At that time, the medal Take it together with the national record, your old Tian will be so happy?"

Although Tian Wenhan knew that his old buddy was teasing him, but thinking of this possibility, he was also a little excited.

Just to be calm, he still said to Qiu Mingxin: "Don't talk nonsense, it will put too much pressure on the players."

Qiu Mingxin laughed loudly: "Just that guy Big Yu, are you sure he's afraid of pressure? Isn't he afraid of no pressure?"

The coaches present all burst into laughter when they heard this, and Huang Wenyu also smiled and said: "If Yu Shuang can really break the record tomorrow, I will definitely apply for a special reward for him then!"

After laughing at Yu Shuang's topic, Xing Yuanzhi mentioned Xian Wangxing's situation.

"In today's preliminaries, his performance is still very stable. At present, I hope that in the semi-finals and finals tomorrow night, he can maintain his best state and strive to achieve his goals."

Speaking of Xian Wangxing's goal, the coaches present are all clear about it.

gold medal.

These two words are simple to say, but the weight behind them is not simple.

Especially in the men's [-]-meter sprint event, the number and strength of Asia's top athletes are already amazing, and the [-]-meter is the most dazzling jewel in the track and field crown, and everyone wants to hold this jewel in their hands. own hands.

The [-]-meter sprint is not only the meaning on the competitive level, but also the event that is most likely to explode into stars and attract the attention of the world.

In the last Asian Games, the Chinese team won the much-anticipated sprint gold medal. This time, apart from the task of the list, no one in the track and field team would be willing to let this medal be taken away. Teams from other countries take away.

Huang Wenyu didn't comment on Xing Yuanzhi's words. On that day, Xian Wangxing personally went outside his room to express his desire to win the gold medal. All he can do now is to watch this contestant quietly and step by step towards the goal he wants. The highest battlefield to board.

After talking about Xian Wangxing, Xing Yuanzhi turned his head to look at You Yun again, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there are no other problems here at Baimi, it's just Su Qian's luck..."

Forget about today's preliminaries. After today's preliminaries, the players went to participate in the group selection for the semi-finals.

Without any surprise, Su Qian got the blackest group again.

Qatar's famous player Ogunod, Wei Ruoheng who ran 10 seconds in the preliminaries, and the veteran Abdullah who is weak in the future but has an excellent future.

From the semi-finals to the final, only the top two players can qualify for direct promotion. If they can't get the top two qualifications for direct promotion, Su Qian can only fight for the top two qualifications for supplementary promotion among the remaining players.

Once this is the case, then Su Qian's advancement will be very passive, purely depending on the performance of other players.

Speaking of this, Xing Yuanzhi also sighed: "Today's men's [-]-meter competition is a bit stronger than we expected."

Originally, I thought that although Su Qian might have no hope of winning the medal, but if he played steadily, a place in the final would be no problem.

But after watching today's preliminaries, the 4-meter runners from all countries performed better than expected. The [-]-meter level in the entire Asian division has improved qualitatively compared to the level of the Asian Games in Jakarta four years ago.

Under such circumstances, Su Qian's promotion to the final seemed dangerous.

Compared with Su Qian's group, the players in the second and third groups of the semi-finals are under relatively less pressure, especially Xian Wangxing. In the third group of the semi-finals, his only opponent is Kamari. There should be no suspense in the final.

Compared with You Yun, Su Qian's head coach, the other coaches present seemed a little worried because of this.

You Yun smiled gently: "After the results of today's semi-final lottery came out, I have already talked with Xiaoqian. His current mentality is still very good. He is looking forward to tomorrow's semi-final."

Speaking of this, You Yun paused, and said: "Xiaoqian is still young, no matter how far he can reach in the Asian Games, I think it is a good exercise and experience for him."

"As for the competition, it's good to see the real chapter on the field tomorrow." You Yun said, showing a gentle but determined smile: "I believe that Xiaoqian will definitely give his best performance, and that's enough."

It was also You Yun's words that everyone suddenly remembered—yes, although Su Qian's current strength in the 16-meter sprint is second only to Xian Wangxing in China, he is indeed only a [-]-year-old boy.

As long as he is not afraid of his opponent and gives his best performance, that is enough.

When the starlight passed by overnight, the sun rose the next day—the second day of the Asian Games track and field schedule officially arrived.
