Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 202 Please start your performance!

Yanjing, Track and Field Management Center of the General Administration of Sport.

Yu Weili pushed open the office early in the morning and found that it was filled with smoke. How could it be called "choking"?

Looking closely, Feng Shuyong was smoking a cigarette. When he saw him coming in, he just raised his head and glanced, then lowered his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

"Why, you haven't figured out how to reply to the competition department?"

After all, he was an old colleague who had worked together for many years. Yu Liwei expressed Feng Shuyong's feelings in one sentence.

The Track and Field Management Center is an agency directly under the State Sports General Administration, including the Office, National Team Management Department, Competition Department, Training Department, Youth Department and Development Office, with a total of six departments.

Yu Weili is the current director of the national team management department, and Feng Shuyong is the deputy director and head coach of the training team. In a "people-oriented" sports organization, they still have great energy.

But in any case, each of the six departments has its own responsibilities. If each department wants to carry out its work smoothly, it cannot do without the support and assistance of other departments.

A few days ago, the competition department had raised concerns about Feng Shuyong.

In recent years, the domestic public has seen an increasing interest in track and field sports, but anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this scene is just a temporary castle in the air.

In the field of Chinese track and field, public attention is highly concentrated on Wen Hao and Liu Xiang.

Without their participation, the attention of domestic track and field events is still as usual, and no one cares about it. Even if tickets are given out for free for many competitions, the number of spectators in the stadiums on match days is not even 1/5.

But given the level of Wen Hao and Liu Xiang, it is natural for them to participate in top track and field events in Europe and the United States. But the problem is that if all the elite relay teams are sent abroad for training, who will support the domestic competitions?

Especially for the national championships in early August, it would be fine if Wen Hao and Liu Xiang did not participate. If even Hu Kai did not participate, who would be willing to watch the 8-meter race?

"Reply? I'll give him a shit!" With no outsiders present, Feng Shuyong stopped pretending to Yu Wei and started swearing directly. "Humph, those grandsons in the competition department can only see one-third of an acre of land under their feet all day long!"

"The relay team has been practicing well outside. If they want to return to China to compete with more than half a month left before the World Championships, do they need to adapt to the venue? After the competition, should they return to Paris to continue training, or should they stay in China to train? ?”

"Tossing back and forth is definitely the next step." Yu Weili nodded first, and then changed the topic: "But if you want to make the competition department have nothing to say, you have to show them some results."

"I know, I know." Feng Shuyong took two more puffs of cigarette, looked up and sighed: "Counting the days, there are still two days left before the Sheffield Grand Prix. I hope these brats won't let me down. "

Thousands of miles away.

In Rome, the Italian capital of the Apennine Peninsula, the third stop of the 2007 IAAF Golden League was in full swing in the night.

The penultimate event of tonight's event is the most eye-catching men's 100-meter flying contest.

At the same time, it was also the second battle between Wen Hao and Asafa Powell in the 2007-meter event in the season!

"Coach Li, Powell really played. If you look at it this way, he withdrew from the Paris Golden League before. Is it because he is still injured?"

In the spectator stands, after seeing Asafa Powell play as scheduled, Annie expressed her opinion to Li Qing next to her.

Li Qing smiled: "Who knows about this? From the outside world, it is true that he gave up the Paris race. As for whether he was unable to participate due to injury or because he was afraid of Wen Hao, only he knows. "

A week ago on July 7, Asafa Powell, who had arrived in Paris for two days, suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Paris Golden League match because he strained his groin in the Dental Championship.

牙锦赛的男子100米决赛比赛时间是6月23日，阿萨法·鲍威尔明明可以在那之后就进行公关，却偏偏直到7月5日的新闻发布会上才宣布退出巴黎黄金联赛。

It is no wonder that all sectors of society are speculating on such a behavior of letting go of pigeons before the battle.

In the current IAAF points rankings, Wen Hao has firmly occupied the top spot in the men's 100-meter event.

And Tyson Gay also successfully surpassed Asafa Powell and came to the second place with his good performance in five consecutive games this season.

However, this change in ranking has a lot to do with Asafa Powell's poor performance in several consecutive games this season.

If he still maintains the same state of tying the world record twice last year, it will be difficult for Wen Hao and Tyson Gay to surpass him in points.

Therefore, many people were slightly surprised that Asafa Powell was able to play as scheduled tonight.

Should we continue to disappoint, or announce the return of the king?

Wen Hao, who was wearing a warm coat, had just completed a trial run. He strolled back to the starting area from the middle of the run, feeling the enthusiastic cheers ringing in his ears.

The Rome Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate up to 10.5 people to watch the game, has a total of 6 seats open to the public tonight, and all of them have been sold out, so it is definitely a crowded place.

Wen Hao could clearly feel that at least half of the audience was focused on him at this moment.

一周前的黄金联赛巴黎站，他在-0.1m/s的风速条件下跑出9秒83的优秀成绩，一举刷新了阿萨法·鲍威尔在去年创下的9秒85赛会纪录。

Although he has not yet broken 9 seconds, track and field fans around the world are increasingly convinced that he can become the next sprinter to break the human speed limit.

Competitive status doesn't lie. At least so far, Wenhao's performance in the competition is better than Asafa Powell in the same period of the 2006 season!

And Wen Hao himself was actually looking forward to it.

Returning to the starting preparation area, under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, he gently closed his eyes, seemingly meditating.

In an instant, flashlights flashed everywhere in the stadium, and both professional media reporters and spectators with equipment keenly captured this frozen scene.

As everyone knows, Wen Hao just suddenly got up and was looking at his attribute panel.
-

Name: Wen Hao

Age: 19 years old (1988.05.08)

Occupation: Track and field (sprint) athlete

Power: 90

Stamina: 90

Speed: 89

Physical fitness: 90

Flexibility: 89→90

Responses: 92

Potential value: 91.5%——

In this month, without consuming potential points, the [flexibility] attribute has been naturally improved by 1 point.

For Wen Hao, this can definitely be called an "unexpected surprise."

The improvement of the [Flexibility] attribute can not only effectively help him avoid injuries, but also enable him to display more "perfect" technical details in the game.

黄金联赛挪威站的9秒80（+0.9）、黄金联赛巴黎站的9秒83（-0.1），已经充分证明他具备了零风速，甚至是逆风条件下跑进9秒85的能力。    因此

Wen Hao opened his eyes and looked towards the finish line a hundred meters away, his naked desire and ambition exposed.

With just a good wind speed, I can hit the 9 mark, or even the world record!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next event is the men's 100m final! 』

In the Rome Olympic Stadium, as the host's introduction resounded throughout the venue, the more than 60,000 spectators quickly shifted their attention and focused on the 100-meter starting area.

Lane 1 is Italian player Simone Clio.

There are a total of 9 tracks in the Rome Olympic Stadium, and the quota for the men's 100-meter event in the Golden League is 8 per station, so Italy can use this to send its own sports - even if the athlete's ability does not meet the requirements of the Golden League. Require.

For example, this Simon Clio, his personal best time is only 10 seconds, and his world ranking is even outside the 20th place, but he was still able to stand on the track tonight.

Lane 2 is Nesta Carter of Jamaica. At last month's Asian Championships, he ranked third with a time of 10 seconds and qualified for the men's 11-meter event in the Osaka Grand Prix. He was also selected. Jamaican relay team.

Lane 3 is the Nigerian star Olusoki Fasuba. Fasuba, the African record holder, has a personal best time of 9 seconds. However, he failed to break 85 this season. Last month, he competed with Wen Hao in the Golden League Norway Station. There have been fights.

Lane 5 is Bahamian star Derek Atkins. At the Athens Grand Prix on the 11th of this month, Atkins ran a time of 0.3 seconds in a wind speed of +9m/s, once again setting a new record for the Bahamas. National record.

Lane 6 is Jamaican star Asafa Powell, the world record holder, no need to go into details.

Lane 7 is Kurandi Martina from the Netherlands Antilles. His current personal best time is 10 seconds. He was the 04-meter champion at the 2006 Caribbean Community Games.

Lane 8 is Michael Flatt from Jamaica, with a personal best time of 10 seconds. His performance in the dental championship was not added, but because he belongs to the same club and the same coach as Powell and Carter, he also came with him. European competition.

Track 9 is Usain Bolt, who broke the national record with a time of 19 seconds at the Jamaican National Championships and participated in the second official 75-meter race of his career with the permission of his coach.

It's a bit of a pity that Tyson Gay did not participate in tonight's Golden League game in Rome.

泰森·盖伊在上个月下旬的美锦赛上表现非常亮眼，100米跑出9.84（-0.5）夺冠，200米跑出19.62（-0.3）夺冠。

The 100 meters seems to be just tying his personal best, but last year his wind speed of 9 seconds was +84m/s, but this year it was -1.0m/s. The gap in physical strength is self-evident.

而200米项目上，泰森·盖伊更是凭借着19秒62的成绩，一举超越了华莱士·斯皮尔蒙的19秒65、泽维尔·卡特的19秒63，成为了这个项目新的历史第二快飞人！

After the US Championships, NBC TV interviewed Michael Johnson, the 200m world record holder. He spoke highly of Tyson Gay during the interview and believed that Tyson Gay has the best chance of surpassing him in the world ( 19.32) sprinter.

After the U.S. Championships, Tyson Gay, Rodney Martin, Davis Patton, Wallace Spearmon, and Leroy Dixon formed the U.S. men's 4×100-meter relay team.

At the Lausanne Grand Prix three days ago, he beat Bolt to death in the 200-meter event, but after that they did not come to Italy, but flew directly to Gateshead in the UK for training.

A Swiss reporter interviewed Tyson Gay before he registered and asked him why he did not participate in the Roma Golden League. Is he considering avoiding competition before the game?

Tyson Gay responded:

“I am not afraid to compete with Asafa or Wen Hao before the World Championships. In fact, Wen Hao and I have signed up for the Sheffield Grand Prix on the 15th. I believe you will see what you want to see by then. 』

"The reason why I didn't participate in the Rome race is that I hope to seize the precious time and have a more in-depth run-in with my teammates. The failure of the American relay team at the World Championships in Helsinki two years ago is still fresh in my mind. I will never let it go this year." That scene happened again! 』

In the relay preliminaries of the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, the American team made a mistake during the handover of the first and second batons. The baton fell to the ground and was eliminated.

Tyson Gay, who was serving as the third baton at the time, failed to win the baton and missed the opportunity to win the gold medal in the first World Series of his career. Justin Gatlin, who planned to sit in the finals, had a "Triple Crown" dream It was shattered.

With the end of this year's U.S. Championships and Dental Championships, the public opinion trend in men's sprinting in the field of track and field has suddenly become - who is better, Wen Hao or Tyson Gay?

The battle record between the two is 2:2. Apart from the influence of wind speed, the gap between the two in -meter hard strength is also very close.

However, in sample surveys around the world, those who support the view that "Wen Hao is stronger" almost occupy an overwhelming trend.

This is very interesting.

From a data analysis point of view, the two are almost evenly matched in terms of strength, but their popularity is worlds apart.

Even in the United States, Tyson Gay's "home base", the percentage of people who support the view that "Wen Hao is stronger" is much higher than in European countries such as Switzerland, Italy, and Norway.

The reason is probably due to the influence of "Shape of You" and "We Are Young". These two songs are on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The former still firmly occupies the top spot, and the latter is still stable to this day. Ranked in the top five.

In the United States, where the entertainment industry is extremely developed, it is only natural that Wenhao's popularity can significantly surpass Tyson Gay, who does not have any World Series medals.

"Course 4 - Wen Hao - China!" 』

The host's "China" was completely overshadowed by the thunderous cheers of the 60,000 spectators at the scene.

At this moment, Wen Hao felt as if he had arrived at the home court.

Despite the high expectations, he did not make the iconic "tiger pounces on food" action for the camera as usual.

He just put his handsome face in front of the camera with a calm expression and said one sentence in a magnetic voice:

"I'm ready, are you ready? Let's go!"

The sound of this sentence was basically covered up by the lively and noisy atmosphere at the scene, but many people still judged what Wen Hao said through the shape of his mouth.

"I'm ready, are you ready?" 』

"let's start! 』

These seemingly simple words came out of his mouth, but now he looked extremely confident and domineering!

Yes, we are all ready.

Please start your show!
