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

"Send Su Qian to the Asian Games? How do you say that?!"

Wang Liang was taken aback, but Qiu Mingxin's eyes lit up, and he probably understood what Xing Yuanzhi meant.

It's not that Wang Liang wasn't tempted by Xing Yuanzhi's proposal, but he suppressed his tempting thoughts first, and asked: "Old Xing, the trials for the Asian Games training camp haven't even started yet. Now, is it right to give Su Qian the quota?" Isn't it too early? Isn't it fair to other players?"

Xing Yuanzhi shook his head: "In fact, there is no fair or unfair choice." After a pause, he said directly: "Let's put it this way, just two hours ago, Director Huang just finished a meeting with us, and the main content was' The players selected for the Asian Games this time must be guaranteed to be able to enter the current eight."

As soon as the words came out, both Wang Liang and You Yun knew the general meaning of it.

The current 200-meter runners in China may not be able to enter the top eight of the runner-up, but the bad thing is this "not necessarily".

Xing Yuanzhi and the others had a meeting earlier, and they discussed how many of the existing 200-meter and 400-meter famous players in China can achieve more stable training and performance in the next one-year training period. Is it possible to have the opportunity to be promoted within the next year.

In any case, they still don't want to let go of the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games.

It was at this moment that Su Qian's time of 21 seconds came to Xing Yuanzhi and the others.

It's a bit like drowsiness comes with a pillow.

It is not to say that Su Qian's time of 21 seconds is definitely better than the current domestic 29-meter champions. After all, these domestic champions still have a PB of less than 200 seconds.

The reason why Xing Yuanzhi chose Su Qian was mainly because Su Qian had an advantage that other players did not have—age.

Su Qian is only 15 years old this year, and even when the Asian Games start next year, he will only be 16 years old.

China has always had a tradition of giving opportunities to young players, especially when facing young players with potential, they will try their best to "add burden" to young players, so that they can get better results on the relatively high-level world stage. good workout.

The only requirement for this kind of "exercise" is that the players can try their best to play their best in high-level competitions, and do not insist on the final ranking.

Put it on Su Qian, a young player in this age group who can win the third place in the 200-meter race and run in 21 seconds in the 30-meter race.

Such a talent is certainly worth giving him a chance to practice.

Moreover, Su Qian's results are not completely without chance in the Asian Games.

At least, the time of 21 seconds is enough to guarantee that Su Qian will break into the 29-meter semi-finals from the preliminaries.

Xing Yuanzhi's idea is actually tantamount to handing over the 200-meter sprint quota that may be taken away by the field management center to Su Qian. While giving Su Qian a chance, it also prevents the 200-meter sprint event from being lost in the end. people compete.

Thinking of this, Wang Liang's eyes lit up—this is indeed a great opportunity not to be missed!

The coaches present, including Qiu Mingxin, didn't have any additional opinions on this. They all knew in their hearts that letting Su Qian compete may be the best way to solve the current dilemma of whether to send players to participate in the 200-meter event.

Xing Yuanzhi tapped on the information in his hand, and then said: "Let's list this as an alternative first. Let's take a look at Su Qian's match tomorrow. As long as the current state can be maintained, Su Qian will be listed first." In the Asian Games training list, during the next winter training period, we will also keep observing several 200-meter runners such as Su Qian and Jiang Weiming."

Jiang Weiming is currently the representative of domestic 200-meter sprinters. His best time this season is 20 seconds. In the previous domestic grand prix races, Jiang Weiming's time was around 67 seconds. The only track and field challenge in Japan , Jiang Weiming was in excellent form, running 21 seconds, but not long after that, in the Diamond League in S City, Jiang Weiming, who should have an advantage in the home game, only ran 20 seconds, ranking last.

The large fluctuations in performance and mentality problems are the reasons why Xing Yuanzhi and other national team coaches are afraid to choose Jiang Weiming with confidence, but apart from Jiang Weiming, the rest of the players also have more or less problems.

"Let's decide for the time being, let's wait until tomorrow's game is watched."

When they were in the conference room, Wang Liang and You Yun only looked at each other without saying anything.

Whether or not to choose Su Qian in the end depends on whether Su Qian can stabilize his current state.

After walking out of the conference room, Wang Liang hesitated and said, "Should we tell Xiaoqian to save his physical reserves as much as possible for the 200-meter final tomorrow?"

Wang Liang was worried that Su Qian rushed too hard in the 100-meter final and was not fit enough for the 200-meter race.

You Yun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, just go as normal."

The physical problem was originally a problem that Su Qian needed to face and strengthen. As long as Xing Yuanzhi read Su Qian's various test reports and training records before, he could know what Su Qian's problem was. It was meaningless to cover up Su Qian at this time.

Wang Liang thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I was wrong."

While the national team meeting was going on, the grand prix in city L was still going on.

Since Su Qian scored 21 seconds and ranked first in the current preliminaries, the 29-meter runners who were preparing for the warm-up area felt more or less pressure.

If it was Jiang Weiming who won this ranking, then it would be no big deal, but let a 15-year-old player in the junior group get the first place in the preliminaries, and these players will feel more or less pressured and unconvinced.

It's just that, after all, sports competitions still rely on performance. It's useless to be unconvinced at the moment. You can only do your best to get as good a result as possible in this preliminaries.

In the webcast room of the Grand Prix, Li Hai and Lin Xuwen could clearly feel that starting from the eighth group of players, the players who originally retained their physical fitness began to release their strength in the preliminaries

Since you are not convinced, then come up with a result on the track that can fight back against Su Qian.

从第八组开始，原本各组No.1普遍在21秒50开外的成绩，开始向21秒50以内冲击，在苏谦之后的三个200米预赛小组，No.1成绩分别冲到了21秒41、21秒43和21秒27。

Among them, the player who ran 21 seconds was Xu Lingyun, another 27-meter athlete in China besides Jiang Weiming. His best time this season was 200 seconds, and he was also one of the few domestic players who could break through 20 seconds. The 89-meter runner at the checkpoint.

Xu Lingyun's state in this field is already very good. When he finally crossed the line, he opened up the No.2 player in the group by two heights. The time of 21 is already a relatively excellent result for him. , in the current preliminaries ranking, his time of 27 has already squeezed Su Qian down to the second place.

But Xu Lingyun was not happy when he finally saw this result.

After seeing the result, the teammates in the same group patted Xu Lingyun on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you all win? The results of our players in the same group are all average, so it is difficult to stimulate your state. You are already very good at this performance, if you really feel that you are not good enough, then you can compare yourself with Su Qian in the final."

Xu Lingyun shook his head: "My performance is already pretty good, but that Su Qian is 21, and he is only 29 years old. It has been 15 years since he started sprinting at the age of 10. I ran 15 to win. It's pointless to pass him."

The teammate was startled, and sighed: "Okay, isn't Jiang Weiming and the others still missing?"

Xu Lingyun was silent for a while, and then said: "What difference does it make if he wins? He, Jiang Weiming, failed to run under 21 seconds in today's match, so he will be considered a loser."

"Not to mention, Jiang Weiming's mental quality is not good, I watched this game, he wants to get a good result, hang on."

The results on the field should not be differentiated by age, but players like Xu Lingyun and the others do.

With Su Qian's results and his running results, it is difficult for the contestants to feel at ease.

Just like what Xu Lingyun said, in today's competition, these mature and golden-age players could barely beat Su Qian by a few tenths of a second, but what's the point?

In sports competition, you should compare yourself with a stronger opponent, not against a 15-year-old kid who is barely able to beat it.

The teammate also shook his head when he heard what Xu Lingyun said: "Old Xu, you beat that Su Qian and said that, so what will happen to those of us who can't keep up with him?"

As he said that, his teammate sighed: "Su Qian's level, as long as he maintains his performance, he will definitely be the leader of our domestic 200-meter race in the future, right?"

Xu Lingyun was silent for a while, and then said in a muffled voice, "I hope so."

The 200-meter event has been silent for too long in China, like a pool of silent backwater. These 200-meter runners have been trying hard to rush up, but there always seems to be a threshold that cannot be crossed.

不说200米的20秒大关，目前国内的选手，就连刷新15年前20秒53的全国纪录也还不能办到。

in case……

If there is really a genius in China, he can hold the banner of the 100 meters like the two famous 200-meter sprinters before, and tear away those records that seem to be overwhelming domestic players and make everyone feel hopeless. if.

Perhaps the domestic 200-meter sprint event can also gain new vitality from this?

Before leaving the arena, Xu Lingyun looked back at the preliminaries rankings that were still lit on the big screen at the scene, looked at Su Qian who appeared under his name, Xu Lingyun silently said in his heart - Su Qian, see you in the final.

【Hope you don't let me down in the finals! 】
