Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 188 Welcome To New York

Kingston, Norman Manley Airport.

Glenn Mills was sitting on the bench in the waiting room, his small eyes slightly squinted, and he was observing the status of the three young men opposite him with his arms crossed.

Today is May 5st, and he is about to fly to the United States with three of his disciples to participate in the New York Reebok Grand Prix on June 31nd.

The medium-sized black young man on the left is the most active, whether he is interested in the upcoming trip to New York or everything around him, especially the occasionally beautiful women who pass by.

The tall young man in the middle seemed a little unhappy. He was usually the most naughty and mischievous among the three, but at this moment he was slumped in a chair and staring at the ceiling not knowing what he was thinking.

The short, stocky boy with dreadlocks on the right is the quietest, and his sitting posture is very upright. His eyes are staring at the ground in front of him motionlessly, seeming to be thinking about something, but judging from his breathing rhythm, it seems more like he is meditating. .

Glenn Mills just squinted his eyes and observed them, until the tall young man in the middle felt a little uncomfortable with his stare, and then he slowly said: "Usain, you are still complaining that I didn't reimburse you 100 Is it about rice?”

"I'm not complaining, coach." Bolt replied dully, "I like the 200 meters very much. You know this. I just feel that I am strong enough to participate in a high-level 100 meters competition."

"From the training indicators, you are indeed strong enough, but do you still remember what we agreed last year?" Glenn Mills tried his best to open his eyes and look at him.

"Yes coach, of course I remember." Bolt's face immediately fell.

At last year's Daegu International Athletics Invitational, without Glenn Mills accompanying him, he took it upon himself to change the event to 100 meters and ran a pretty good time of 10 seconds.

After returning to Jamaica, Bolt made an agreement with his dear coach Mills: when he can break Don Quarry's Jamaican men's 200m national record (19 seconds), when he can officially start the 86m Rice and items.

Three days ago at the Port of Spain (Tedoba)-Hampton International Games, he made his debut in the 2007 season and won the championship in 1.0 seconds under wind speed of +19m/s.

After the game, Bolt was a little disappointed, because before going to Port of Spain, he vowed to break the national record, and then asked Glenn Mills to agree to do both the 100 meters and meters.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, before the game in Port of Spain, Bolt made an agreement with Wen Hao in the email to compete with him on the same stage at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York.

Well now, when we get to New York, we will inevitably be laughed at by Wen Hao.

GG!

At this time, Bolt was even more desperate and put his hat on his face and decided to pretend to be dead.

Glenn Mills ignored the unhappy Bolt and turned to look at the dreadlocked boy on the right: "Yohan, you and Pele are lucky this time, and they just have the opportunity to participate in the Reebok Grand Prix. Take advantage of this." Take the opportunity and enjoy it.”

"Okay coach, I won't let you down!" Blake licked his lips and nodded.

When Glenn Mills heard this, he shook his head: "I don't need you to say such things to me. The Reebok Grand Prix is ​​a B-level event. With your current level, you would have no chance to participate."

"You are three years younger than Usain and Pele. I will not set any requirements for you. If I really have any requirements, it is that I hope you can enjoy the continuous growth process before you are 20 years old."

After hearing Glenn Mills's gentle words, Bolt, who covered his face with a hat, couldn't help but smacked his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Daniel Bailey on the left grinned: "Coach, you are so kind to Youhan. You are like a good father who obeys the teachings and enlightens his son."

Daniel Bailey is a native of Antigua and Barbuda. He finished fourth in the men's 2004m final at the 100 World Youth Championships in Grosseto, Italy. That year his PB had reached 10 seconds. 19.

However, in the following two years of 2005 and 2006, his strength did not improve with age.

Daniel Bailey felt that the level of domestic coaches was not good enough, so after discussing with his parents and agent, he joined Glenn Mills' Flyers Club in November last year and became Bolt and Blake's training partner.

In terms of attention, it is undoubtedly Bolt that Glenn Mills pays the most attention to in the club, but Mills's guidance to Blake seems to have an extra feeling similar to father's love?

I don’t know why, but Daniel Bailey believes that his feeling is not wrong.

But if he were a coach and had a disciple as hard-working, obedient, and talented as Blake, he would probably be as tireless as Mills.

At the Kingston-Caribbean Games trials on March 3, Yohan Blake won the championship with a time of 17 seconds. He successfully set a new PB in the first game of the season, and this was also under a strong headwind of -10m/s. !

3月31日的金斯敦-牙买加高中锦标赛，尤罕·布雷克又以10秒19（-0.9）的成绩夺冠，刷新PB的同时也创造了新的牙买加少年（U18）纪录。

In the Providenciales-Caribbean Games junior category on April 4, Yohan Blake achieved another breakthrough, winning the championship with a time of 7 seconds, setting a new PB, and setting a new Jamaican youth and junior record!

For a time, all the people of Jamaica turned their attention to this 17-and-a-half-year-old boy, and as his coach, Glenn Mills, also became famous.

Daniel Bailey was very envious of Blake, envied that he had such outstanding talent, and even more envied that he could meet an excellent coach like Glenn Mills at the age of 17.

If I had had such luck back then, I wouldn't have wasted two years in vain. However, fortunately, the dark days in the past are over, and his career will open a new chapter.

Let’s start in New York!

"Wen! Welcome to New York!"

"I love you Wen! Whether it's the song or you, I love you so much!"

"Is there really a new song released on June 6rd?"

"Hey, man! Can we see the new record in Icahn Stadium?!"

"."

At New York's JFK Airport, Wen Hao and Liu Xiang appeared together, and soon they saw many international students and even American fans picking them up at the airport.

After the Osaka Grand Prix, Wenhao proposed the idea of ​​going to the United States to compete and hold fan meetings with his management team.

For Wen Hao who wanted to take the initiative to "open business", the team naturally agreed with both hands and feet, and quickly reported it to EMI Headquarters, so that the employees of the New York branch were ready.

Among the fans who picked me up at the airport, the few who paid attention to track and field and sprinting were just incidental, and most of them were fans who got into the trap because of "We Are Young".

After learning that Wenhao would hold a fan meeting in New York and that he would release a new single on June 6, these fans naturally came to pick him up excitedly, wanting to have a glimpse of their idol.

Wen Hao stayed at the airport for a while, randomly selecting some lucky fans to sign autographs and take photos. It wasn't until the car door slammed shut that the world finally became quiet.

"You guys are so popular. This is my third time in the United States, and I haven't enjoyed such treatment as you." Liu Xiang complained to him after getting on the bus in advance and waiting for a while.

His popularity in China is quite stable, but overseas, I have to say that Wen Hao's status as a pop singer is still too shameless.

"Hehehe, are you envious?" Wen Hao grinned at him: "Brother Xiang, how about I also write a song for you to make you happy? Just ask me to think about the title of the song: Welcome To New York! "

After Swift's "Welcome To New York" was released, many music critics gave the song mixed reviews, criticizing the lyrics for being cliche and the content being too boring. However, some musicians found it very pleasant and refreshing.

There are undoubtedly more criticisms, and even ordinary listeners without much music appreciation ability can tell that this is a saliva song.

But it sells well!

What kind of saliva is not saliva? As long as the content isn't vulgar and you can make money, then at least it's not a bad song.

"Does this name ask me to sing an English song?" Liu Xiang quickly shook his head and refused: "I quite like singing, but if you really ask me to release a single or something, forget it, let alone an English song?"

"Really don't want to sing?"

"Why are you lying to me?" Liu Xiang leaned back in his seat and said with a longing look on his face: "You may think that my personality in life is more out-of-the-box than yours, but I know very well what I am suitable for and what I am not suitable for."

"You know last year's Song of Track and Field, I was just pushed to get it on the shelves. Later, several entertainment companies wanted to help me record singles and release albums, but I refused because I knew I was not into music. lump material.”

"My only thought now is to set a new world record for the 110-meter hurdles. 12 seconds is still too unsafe. If nothing else, I estimate that I will give Robles from Cuba another year or two. He really has it." There is a chance to break this record.”

Hearing this, Wen Hao was startled.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, the first person in the original time and space to break 12 seconds was really Dairon Robles!

Good guy, Liu Xiang's intuition is accurate.

"Okay, since you have no idea, I'll give this song to someone else." Wen Hao took out his mobile phone and made a call, "It just so happened that Emma Nanizi heard that I was going to release a new single, and she was noisy If you want me to write a song for her, if you don’t want it, I’ll give it to her.”

"Huh? Are you serious?"

"What if I don't? I've thought about the music and lyrics, and I'll go to the hotel to sort out the score. The song will be considered completed."

"Holy crap! I thought you were joking!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm serious this time."
