Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 176 What is the first game of the new season?

Time flies, and it’s early March in a blink of an eye.

The spring equinox has not yet arrived, and the scenery in the North is still desolate, but the harsh winter is finally a thing of the past.

On the 100-meter straight track of the Yingdong Track and Field Stadium of BSU, with a "slap" of applause, three muscular figures suddenly jumped out from the starting block with a "swish".

Immediately afterwards, a series of "Puff, puff, puff, puff" footsteps sounded on the runway. It was not until they had run a full 60 meters that the three figures slowed down.

After a while, the three figures turned back and walked to a fat middle-aged man wearing glasses on the sidelines.

"Coach, how much did I run on this trip?"

"6 seconds 22, not bad. Now your acceleration ability in the first 60 meters has basically stabilized, and it is obviously better than last year."

Li Qing smiled and nodded, but the number displayed on the stopwatch behind his waist was clearly 6.18.

"Six seconds and 6 seconds."

When Wen Hao heard the results of his notes, he was neither happy nor discouraged.

一般来说，手记时都有0.2~0.3秒的误差，如果按照国际通用的0.24秒误差值来算的话，那他这趟60米也就是跑了6秒46。

If it is really 6 seconds 46, then his future ability is indeed stronger than last year, but it is also limited.

Last year, he ran 9 seconds twice and 91 seconds once. The front and rear range segment data of these three shots are:

2006雅典田径世界杯，9.91（+1.1m/s），6.49+3.42；

2006魔都黄金大奖赛，9.91（+0.4m/s），6.48+3.43；

2006多哈亚运会决赛，9.92（0.0m/s），6.50+3.42。

Winter training has been going on for two and a half months. During these two and a half months, even during the Spring Festival, he only had two days off, namely the 30th and the first day of the new year. The rest of the time he was always working day and night.

In addition to completing the super-intensive training content arranged by Li Qing, as long as the potential value reaches 100%, he will immediately look for opportunities to use it to add points to appropriate attributes.
-

Name: Wen Hao

Age: 18 years old

Occupation: Track and field (sprint) athlete

Strength: 84→88

Stamina: 86→89

Speed: 84→87

Physical fitness: 86→90

Flexibility: 83→88

Reaction: 89→92

Potential value: 1.9%——

Before winter training, the average of his six attributes was only 85.333.

Now we have obviously reached a full 89 points, why can we only run 60 seconds 6 for 46 meters?

This is unscientific.

For a normal sprinter, March is definitely not the time to produce results, because they need to show their good condition in high-level international events in the summer, especially on major stages such as the World Championships and the Olympics.

But for Wen Hao, this "law" does not hold true, because as long as he enters high-intensity training or competition mode, as long as his body is not injured, his good condition can continue and he can stay on standby for a long time.

It's hard to say whether this is due to the existence of the system or whether his reborn physique comes with such a buff, but it is indeed the case.

So, it shouldn’t be only 6 seconds 46!

"coach."

"Ok?"

"I think." Wen Hao hesitated for a moment and said in a negotiating tone: "How about you let me try the water at the Magic City Indoor Grand Prix on the 15th?"

"Indoor Grand Prix?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment and waved his hand quickly: "No, no, you have just adapted to the outdoor track in the past two days, and then you turn your head to run the indoor competition. Isn't that a waste of time?"

When Li Qing said this, Wen Hao became a little unhappy: "But just relying on the results measured by this stopwatch or the indicators measured by those instruments cannot determine what level I am now!"

"No matter how good an athlete performs in training, he will eventually have to compete with his opponent on the field, don't you think?"

"You're such a kid." Li Qing was speechless by what he said, and had no choice but to tell the whole story about how he had concealed his report results these past few days.

Wen Hao was speechless after hearing this, but his mind was very clever and he naturally understood the meaning of Li Qing's actions.

Li Qing then told Wen Hao a story that he had personally experienced.

Twenty years ago, there was a supernova in Chinese sprinting named Li Tao. He became a blockbuster at the 1986 Asian Youth Track and Field Championships in Jakarta, India.

First, he tied the Asian record with a time of 10 seconds in the rematch, and then in less than an hour in the final, he ran an astonishing time of 28 seconds to set a new Asian record!

Before Wen Hao was born, Li Tao's national youth record of 10 seconds had stood for more than 26 years and 19 months.

After running 1986 seconds in 10.26, relevant domestic experts at the time predicted that Li Tao would reach a higher level. These experts included Li Qing, who was an assistant coach of the national team at the time.

This prediction was also reflected in the subsequent national team training. Whether it was the level of various distance tests from 30 meters to 300 meters, or various abilities such as jumping and strength, they all showed a trend of improvement year by year.

On the eve of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Li Tao's standing starting hand timing during training was already around 9.6 seconds.

Because of his excellent team test results, Li Tao became the first domestic track and field athlete to be confirmed for the Olympic roster. The expert team at the time unanimously concluded that he had the level of an electric meter of about 10.1 seconds. But the fact is that it was not until the Seventh National Games in 1993 that Li Tao finally ran 10 seconds to refresh his personal best.

At that time, Cheng Wenzhong had already achieved this result a year in advance. Li Tao's 10 seconds only tied the national record. Four years later, Cheng Wenzhong raised this record to 24 seconds.

Although Li Tao's career is not the kind of "fall of genius" that contains tragedy, it is indeed due to various internal and external factors that led to his failure to meet the expectations of countless people across the country.

Based on this experience, Li Qingcai lied to Wen Hao about his score in today's training test.

Because he was afraid of one thing, that is, after Wen Hao got used to the good results he ran in training, if he failed to run the ideal results in the official competition of the new season, he would become suspicious like Li Tao. Own.

As a professional athlete, especially one like Wen Hao who has achieved excellent results and is burdened with countless expectations and interests, once he starts to doubt himself due to temporary setbacks, the consequences will be unimaginable!

For example, Li Tao, who has been in the national team for eight years, has almost no actual results.

The most recent one is Shingo Susumu. Before last year, I heard that he was depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide due to the high pressure exerted by the media and the public.

There is a saying that "the higher you climb, the harder you fall." Wen Hao's current height in the field of sprinting is already the well-deserved number one in Asian history.

Like Liu Xiang, he has now gradually reached the point where he no longer just represents China, but has been given a special political symbol of fighting for the "yellow race" from the moment he broke the 10-second mark.

This year's Osaka World Championships and next year's Yanjing Olympics are two such critical and important international sports events. As the head coach, how can Li Qing not worry about him?

"This matter is not just my idea. Director Feng also mentioned it to me privately. I hope I can stabilize your mentality during training and try to keep you as normal as possible to face the present and the future. "

Li Qing frankly revealed his thoughts to Wen Hao. Seeing his calm demeanor and silent expression, Li Qing didn't know whether Wen Hao had listened or whether he could understand him.

"Although your current training and test results are already very good, you have been indoors for almost two months due to the weather. Now you still need to put the skills you mastered in winter training to the outdoor venues for careful polishing."

"As for the competition, let's wait. If you feel that the training is too boring, I will give you an extra day or two to rest this month, and then the training intensity can be appropriately reduced. The body cannot be operated at such a high load all the time. .”

"By the way, don't you like to make music? I see that many people on the Internet are clamoring for you to release new songs. If you have an idea, you can prepare it now."

Li Qing spoke a lot in one breath, and looking at Wen Hao's still calm expression, he gradually became a little anxious.

Could this child be said to be autistic?

"Coach, tell me"

"Huh?! What? You say it, I'm listening!"

Seeing Li Qing's obviously anxious expression, Wen Hao was not ready to tease him anymore. He chuckled and said, "Hahaha - coach, you don't think I'm autistic so easily, do you?"

"You, you stinky boy!" Li Qing shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly for a while, feeling that there was nothing he could do about Wen Hao, and he was played by such a young boy.

But that's fine. Even though he was messing around, it at least showed that Wen Hao's mentality was healthy and good, which was enough.

After the joke, Wen Hao seriously discussed the schedule for the outdoor season with Li Qing.

He himself is not interested in participating in indoor competitions. The level of indoor competitions in China is too low to be effective in training troops.

If you go abroad, you have to go to Europe, but at this time, traveling thousands of miles away, it is unclear whether the benefits can be as good as training at home.

If there is a World Indoor Championship this year, he can indeed give it a try. After all, there are many experts in the World Indoor Championship, and the level of competition is also high, so there is a lot of potential value to be gained.

But it is a pity that the World Indoor Championships are held in even-numbered years. The next one will not be held in Valencia, Spain until early March 2008. There is no chance this year.

After some discussion, the master and apprentice initially determined the itinerary for the beginning of the season.

The first show was scheduled for May. On March 5st, the Neon Land Sports Alliance sent an invitation letter, hoping that Wenhao and Liu Xiang could attend the IAAF Grand Prix held in Osaka in early May.

Liu Xiang has been participating in this event since 04, and this year he finally threw an olive branch at Wen Hao, the new generation of Asian sprint kings.

After the Osaka Grand Prix, I will return to China to correct myself, and then participate in the Zhaoqing Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix in mid-to-late May.

The Zhaoqing Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix has been fixed as the first stop in the Grand Prix series because it is held in southern China. It also has the largest number of domestic experts.

Wen Hao did not participate in any domestic grand prix last year. This year, in order to take care of domestic track and field events, it is necessary to increase the popularity of the grand prix.

At the same time, it is also for domestic players to increase their intensity in advance.
