Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 211 Floor urine test and “asthma per capita”

August 8 was the last day that members of the Chinese relay team stayed in Paris before the World Championships in Osaka.

On this day, Li Qing and Yuan Guoqiang specially gave the team members a day off.

However, the team members did not take this opportunity to go out. Instead, Mao spent the day in the dormitory, playing games, playing cards, etc., and having a hot pot dinner in the evening.

Even in order to avoid symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, we did not prepare spicy dishes for this hot pot, but we still had a lot of fun eating it.

On this day, Wen Hao became the most "unsociable" person in the team.

Because it was rare to have such a complete day of rest, he took part of his time and used it elsewhere.
Zhang Jielin has started her journey to the 57th Miss World Beauty Pageant. She has just passed the preliminary round of the Yanjing Division. There will be semi-finals, regional competitions and finals, as well as the national finals.

During this period of time, the two of them basically communicated through emails on weekdays. They finally found the time to make such an international long distance call, so they cherished it very much.

She spends the most time with Zhang Jielin and is the one she contacts first, but other beauties will not be left behind.

After that, I first called Jane Zhang who was also in China. She was a little excited on the phone because in the second studio album released last month, Wen Hao gave her "Drawing Heart" and "I Miss You So Much" that won received enthusiastic response from the market.

The album was released on July 7, and in just 28 days, its sales have exceeded 21 times platinum sales. You must know that her first studio album last year only achieved 5 times platinum sales within three months of its release.

Coupled with Wen Hao's achievements in sports and music in the past few months, Zhang Liangying already respected him like a god.

After that, he called Emma again. Unexpectedly, Mo Wenwei was still staying in London. As a result, they took the initiative to open an online video connection, allowing Wen Hao to watch a wonderful scene of love.

Although it is very exciting, you can watch it through the computer screen but not eat it. If I had known that today would be a holiday, I would have called the two of them to Paris in advance to play together.

In addition to Zhang Sisterlin and these three women who were confirmed lovers, there were also a few girls who were just friends for the time being.

For example, I met two girls during the Daegu Track and Field Invitational last year: Im Yoona, who I met briefly but was slightly ambiguous with, and Jung Soo-yeon, my loyal little crush.

The girl group "Girls' Generation", where Lim Yoona and Jessica Jung belong, released the MV for their first single "The World We Meet Again" on August 8st, and it was broadcast on the SBS TV music program "Inkigayo" on August 1th. Official debut.

Since Daegu last year, the second daughter has basically maintained contact with him by email at least once a week. After the start of the new season, the number of emails has become more frequent.

The content of the email, in addition to telling interesting stories about practicing in the company, going to school, recording albums, etc., was full of praise for Wenhao's achievements in sports and music. Of course, he also asked him when he would go to Korea again.

The day off was spent in such an ordinary way.
On August 8, Wen Hao and the Chinese men's relay team boarded a flight to Neon Osaka as the first batch of members of the Chinese track and field team to compete in the 18th World Championships.

This is Wenhao's second trip to Osaka, but this time, it is completely different from the situation he faced three months ago.

Although the total flight duration is only 17.5 hours, since it is flying from west to east, it will be local noon on the 20th when we land in Osaka, so we need to control the rest time on the plane and try to offset the jet lag in advance.

However, he was probably a little too excited due to the approaching World Championships. Wenhao only woke up after a light sleep for an hour.

In this World Championships, the task requirements given to him by the General Administration and the Competition Management Center were quite reasonable and they did not put much pressure on him.

But for Wen Hao himself, with his current rate of progress, it is really difficult for him to guarantee that he can defeat the dictatorial "big devil" at the 08 Olympics at home.

In recent days, due to Li Qing's theoretical level and the improvement of his own attributes to 90 points, both have reached a bottleneck period.

Therefore, in the next period of time, no matter how hard he trains, participates in more competitions, or obtains more potential points, the improvement of the [Speed] attribute will gradually be widened by other attributes.

But Bolt has always been dictatorial, and his biggest asset that has dominated the 100 and 200 events for eight years is his unparalleled speed ability.

For now, Wen Hao is not sure whether this system can allow him to grow indefinitely, and he doesn't know whether 100 is the limit for attribute improvement.

If he is given enough time, even if the improvement rate of the [Speed] attribute is slower than other attributes, his extreme speed ability can surpass Bolt in the future.

It is difficult to predict how things will develop in the future, so for Wenhao, there is no room for error in the upcoming Osaka World Championships!
2007年的泰森·盖伊和阿萨法·鲍威尔，在竞技状态巅峰、低海拔、零风速、温度适宜的条件下，前者具备9秒80~9秒82的水平，后者具备9秒78~9秒80的水平。

想要在大阪世锦赛上战胜他们，实力必须得足够硬才行，仅凭他之前的9.80（+0.9）、9.83（-0.1）、9.76（+1.0），胜算还是有些悬乎。

Fortunately, after returning to Paris from England, he conducted devil training for nearly a month.

In addition, after breaking the world record in the Golden League Roma Station, he received a huge potential value reward of 100%, so his current physical attributes have been improved to a certain extent compared to before the Roma Station.

He called the flight attendant and asked for a glass of warm milk to drink to help him sleep. After putting on the eye mask again, Wen Hao checked his current attribute panel data again.
-
Name: Wen Hao

Age: 19 years old (1988.05.08)

Occupation: Track and field (sprint) athlete
Strength: 90→91
Stamina: 90→91
Speed: 89→90
Physical fitness: 90→91
Flexibility: 90→91
Reaction: 92→94
Potential value: 2.9%——
Among the five basic attributes except [Speed], the 1-2 point improvement in [Physical Strength], [Flexibility] and [Reaction] is a natural increase achieved through continuous training accumulation.

The improvement of [Strength] and [Endurance] is achieved by adding points to the potential value, and it also increases the [Speed] attribute to the 90-point mark.

After the attributes have reached the 90-point mark one after another, it has become more difficult to achieve natural improvement than in the past, especially the three attributes of [Strength], [Endurance] and [Flexibility] which are closely related to the [Speed] attribute.

However, after breaking the world record in the Golden League Rome, the 100% potential reward he received opened the door to a "new world" for Wen Hao.

A long time ago, he figured out the rules of the potential value rewards given by the system in events: the higher the level of participating in the event and the better the performance, the more potential value rewards.

In the top world competition like the World Championships, if you can run under 9 seconds or even break the world record, the potential reward you will get is unimaginable!
However, it is still quite difficult to break his own world record of 9 seconds on a stage like the World Championships.

After all, the issue of wind speed has to be taken into consideration.

It is very difficult to break the world record, but Wenhao is determined to achieve the goal of breaking the world championship record.

The world championship men's 100m record is 1999 (+9.80) set by American star Maurice Green at the 0.2 World Championships in Seville, Spain.

The world championship men's 200m record is 1995 (+19.79) set by American star Michael Johnson at the 0.5 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Refreshing the world championship records in these two events is one of Wen Hao's goals during this trip, but he will definitely try his best to hit the world record!
After a somewhat torturous air journey, Wenhao finally landed at Osaka Kansai Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, Wenhao felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, in an international metropolis like Paris, summer is still quite hot due to the urban heat island effect. However, their training location is not in the core urban area of ​​Paris, but in the suburbs with high vegetation coverage, so this summer, they really haven't experienced the torment of high temperatures.

But after arriving in Osaka, the moment I stepped out of the cabin, I felt a wave of heat hitting my face, which immediately made my head feel dizzy.

"Oh my god, it's such a hot day, those middle and long-distance runners are going to suffer a lot." Zhang Peimeng complained, wiping the sweat that was pouring from his forehead.

Middle and long-distance running events, especially extreme endurance events such as marathons with a distance of 42.195 kilometers, have very strict temperature requirements. It is generally believed that 10~15℃ is the most suitable temperature for marathon events.

This is also the reason why many internationally renowned marathon events are basically scheduled in spring and autumn.

Just like the World Championships in Helsinki the year before last, the general results in middle and long-distance running events were relatively ideal, because Helsinki's latitude is high enough, and the body feels cooler even in summer.

But in the city of Osaka, the highest temperature every day continues to be above 35°C. Such a hot summer season is definitely quite unfavorable for middle and long-distance running events.

"You also have to adapt to the heat. This is why in Paris, I asked you to practice until noon when the sun was at its strongest before ending the first half of the day's training. It was to allow you to adapt to this situation in advance."

Li Qing was talking as he dragged his suitcase and walked at the front. He is proficient in English and German, and is also proficient in Japanese. He has not yet reunited with the national track and field team family, so when he arrived in Osaka, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of team leader.

Facing the scorching heat of the sun in the sky, Wen Hao, who was well prepared, took out his sunglasses and put them on. However, they could only reduce the damage of the sun to his eyes. As for the high temperature, he could not withstand it at all.

The people in Osaka are quite enthusiastic. Since the flight information was announced in advance, there were many people at the airport holding signs to welcome Wen Hao.

However, judging from the chatter at the scene, Chinese and Chinese accounted for a large part of them, and the real neon people may not be half.

This situation is actually quite normal. The two countries have extremely special historical reasons, and the public attitude towards China has always been relatively cold.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of Xiaoli, and he has no idea of ​​expanding the market here, so everything will be left to chance.

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic fans who picked them up at the airport, the group got on the bus and drove to the hotel designated by the Osaka organizer to check in. However, they never expected that an unexpected incident occurred as soon as they got off the bus.

Doping testing is something that all competitive sports athletes will experience in their careers.

Generally speaking, the winners of all levels of events must undergo a post-match inspection, and the 2nd to 8th placers generally undergo post-match spot checks and undergo testing (depending on the event, in most cases the 2nd to 3rd placers must also undergo testing. ).

All participating athletes in the event will also be randomly sampled and tested by drawing lots.

In record competitions, athletes who break world records, continental records, national records or sports meets must undergo testing.

In addition, doping control agencies and medical representatives from relevant individual sports federations, based on situations that occur during the competition, such as suspecting that an athlete has taken doping, or those who have abnormally improved their performance or are exposed to doping If there are other special circumstances, we have the right to designate them for inspection immediately after the game.

And during non-competition periods, anti-doping agencies will also select some famous athletes for surprise inspections, also known as "unannounced inspections."

Wen Hao didn't experience the feeling of unannounced inspection last year, but he experienced it twice this year.

The first time was on the third day after the Reebok Grand Prix in New York. Wen Hao and Liu Xiang, who were visiting New York, received unannounced inspection notices at the same time, so they had no choice but to suspend their travel plans and rush to the designated doping control station.

As for the second time, it happened after the Sheffield Grand Prix before the recording of "Viva La Vida" started. Thinking about it, I feel like shit.

That afternoon, he was having daily exchanges with Emma and Mo Wenwei. While the fierce battle was still going on, he suddenly received a notice of unannounced inspection, which almost cast a psychological shadow on him.
Although the World Championships have not officially entered the competition period, it is normal for a famous athlete like him who holds a world record to be required to undergo testing.

Just like my teammates on the relay team, they are not qualified.

After a large-scale international competition, if an athlete's level is insufficient and he is lucky enough to avoid spot checks by all athletes, he may not be subject to a single doping test during the event.

After confirming that everything was correct and signing the test confirmation form, Wen Hao, accompanied by Li Qing, arrived at the doping monitoring station, which was set up in the hotel.

After washing his hands in the sink at the monitoring station, Wen Hao took out medical gloves from his pocket and put them on, which he prepared himself based on his previous inspection experience.

The prosecutor had no objection to this, but only asked him to lift his shirt to at least below his chest and pull his trousers down to below his knees. Since he was wearing short sleeves, he naturally did not have to lift his sleeves above his elbows.

After urine sampling, packaging and sealing, the doping control officer also asked Wen Hao to provide information on the use of nutritional supplements and medicines in the past seven days, and informed him that if he had obtained a drug exemption, he needed to fill in the banned substances and approval numbers that were allowed to be used. .

After learning that Wen Hao had not obtained or even applied for a drug exemption, the prosecutor's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

“It’s unimaginable to know that some of the American athletes I examined had even applied for exemptions from more than one banned substance.”

These were the exact words the prosecutor said to Wen Hao, and he even gave a thumbs up before leaving.

It is not uncommon for European and American athletes to use drugs "legally".

Especially American athletes, the number of times they apply for drug exemptions and their success rate far exceed those of other countries and regions.

In contrast, Chinese athletes have very few applications, and the success rate is not low but not high either.

In stark contrast, Russian athletes have applied more times than China, but their success rate is the lowest among all countries and regions.

However, the sports world in Russia and even Eastern Europe has a "long" history of drug abuse, which is why so many Russian athletes are banned every year for doping violations.

This is also the reason why the prosecutor gives Moon a thumbs up, because he is used to seeing European and American athletes taking drugs "legally" through drug exemptions.

As for Wen Hao, who had never applied for a drug exemption but broke the world record, he naturally felt incredible.

Track and field, swimming, and gymnastics are undoubtedly the three "hardest-hit areas." Almost all athletes in these three major sports who have applied for drug exemptions have a "history of asthma."

Wen Hao felt relieved after being praised silently by the prosecutor.

Next, there is four and a half days of adaptive training, and then waiting for the official opening of the Osaka World Championships
　I have something to do tonight, so I’ll give you an update
