Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 59 He knew that this day would come sooner or later!

On the edge of the infield, Zhou Wei couldn't sit still at all.

As the 100-meter national record holder, he officially retired at the National Games last year. He soon became the sprint coach of the Jiangxi track and field team and is currently in charge of coaching the women's team.

In the women's 100-meter semi-finals in the morning, the two team members he coached, Cheng Jue and Tao Yujia, both advanced to the finals by ranking first in the group, and both had the ability to compete for medals.

I was originally going to be happy today, but who knew that Wen Hao was so perverted that he was about to break his own national record at the age of 18.

It’s so uncomfortable!
  Zhou Wei stood up completely now, moved closer to Feng Shuyong and Li Qing, and nervously looked at the timer on the court.

He knows that as the training system and concepts of Chinese track and field and Chinese sprint become more and more scientific, and with the continuous talent discovery, the national record he holds will one day be broken.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, but if he could, he really didn't want it to be today.

It’s been less than a year since I retired. Can you give me some face? !
  Keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future, young man!
  Beside Zhou Wei, Feng Shuyong and Li Qing were trying hard not to laugh when they saw his nervous look.

If we can't break through the semi-finals, there is still a final.

If we don't break it today, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Accept the reality, Wei!
  Zhou Wei's wish was destined to come true.

After waiting for a moment, the referee at the finish line used a high-speed camera with an accuracy of more than 1/1000 second to complete the calibration of the players' thousandth place results.

Then the interface of the electronic timer ushered in a jump. The originally displayed 10.18 changed to
  10.16! !! !!

At the same time, the broadcast announcement of the game also quickly sounded in the stadium:

"Congratulations to the national team player Wen Hao. In the third group of the men's 100m semi-finals just now, under the headwind conditions of -1.6 meters per second, he broke the Jiangxi athlete Zhou Wei with a time of 10 seconds. In 16 The national record of 1998 seconds was set at the Yanjing Grand Prix of Track and Field!
  Audience friends, please welcome the birth of the new national 100-meter record with warm cheers and applause!
  10 seconds 16! The creator of this new record is Wen Hao, a talented boy who just turned 5 in May this year! ! ! 』

In fact, there was no need for the announcer to push. The moment the timer was refreshed, the entire Luohe Stadium was flooded with cheers and applause.

10 seconds 16, this result does not look very good.

Not to mention comparing it with the top black sprinters in Europe and the United States, even comparing it with the little neon next door, this time of 10 seconds is far inferior to the Asian record of 16 seconds held by Koji Ito.

In the past, people were reluctant to talk about this matter, especially after Liu Xiang was born. Many people who did not know much about track and field even subconsciously thought that China's sprinting had reached the world's leading level.

But the gap between Chinese sprinting, European and American sprinting, and neon sprinting has always existed objectively.

There are many and complex reasons for this phenomenon, so anyone who has a little knowledge of track and field and sprinting and can be objective and rational will not belittle oneself.

Everyone knows that China's sprinting still has a long way to go and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

And now, the dawn of this progress has once again broken through the dark clouds and shone on the land that has not yet been carefully developed in China's sprint!

18 years old, 10 seconds 16, and the headwind is 1.6 meters per second!
  Given the wind speed conditions, even if Koji Ito at his peak were to run, would he be able to stably run under 10 seconds?
  It’s very blue!

Next to the timer, Wen Hao suddenly felt dumbfounded when he saw that his score for this shot was finally approved as 10 seconds and 16 seconds.

去年的10.35，今年2月份的6.59、6.58、6.56，然后现在又是10.16
  Okay, okay, the main one is related to the past life, right?

There were so many thoughts in his mind, but his body naturally leaned against the timer. In front of him, CCTV, Henan Satellite TV, Guangxi Satellite TV, and Henan Daily.
  A large number of reporters from TV and newspaper media were holding long guns and short guns, quickly pressing the shutter button in their hands to take pictures of the scene in front of them, the picture of Wen Hao taking a photo with the new record.

At the same time, on the big screen in the stadium, the completion score list of the third group of the men's 100-meter semi-finals was also refreshed.

Wind speed: -1.6m/s
  1——Individual——Wen Hao——10.16 NR
  2——Henan——Chen Yibo——10.58 PB
  3——Guangdong——Su Bingtian——10.62
  In competitive sports, especially in events where competition time is used as a result, once a player with absolute strength and leading position appears in the game, the overall level of that game will usually be higher than normal.

The most typical example is the men's 2012m final at the 800 London Olympics.

In that game, the famous Kenyan player David Rudisha took the lead from the beginning, and the other players, driven by his full strength, all showed their super strength.

Except for David Rudisha who broke his own world record with a time of 1 minute, 40 seconds and 91, six of the remaining seven players broke their personal best at the time!
  Not only that, even the last-placed British runner Andrew Osagie's time of 1 minute 43 seconds 77 was enough to win the men's gold medal at the four Olympic Games in Sydney, Athens, Yanjing and Winter Beijing. 800m gold medal!
  And now, a similar situation seems to be happening in the third group of the men's 100-meter semi-finals at the National Youth Track and Field Championships in Luohe, Henan, China.

Wen Hao, who ranked first, broke the national record with a time of 10 seconds.

Chen Yibo, who ranked second, set a personal best with a time of 10 seconds. Even without taking into account wind speed conditions, this time has never been achieved by him in the original time and space.

Although Su Bingtian, ranked third, failed to refresh his personal best, his previous PB of 10 seconds had a wind speed of +59m/s.

10.62 (-1.6m/s) vs. 10.59 (+0.6m/s), which one of these two results is better or worse is self-evident and clear at a glance.

The other five young athletes from all over the country also ran their own personal bests, and all of them ran within 10 seconds.

"Good boy, good run! Hahahaha——"

Feng Shuyong rushed over excitedly, pushed aside the reporters who were surrounding Wen Hao and started to slap him. He held his hand and started to praise him, smiling so brightly that he was like the sun.

Shao Qing and Li Qing, Wen Hao's head coach, also rushed over, but he didn't come alone, but brought along someone who even the reporters didn't expect.

Oh, isn't this Zhou Wei, the former national record holder?

The reporters all knew the effects of the program, so they immediately surrounded Zhou Wei and pushed him to Wen Hao's side.

What's more, someone who did something good shouted on the spot: "Zhou Wei, you have witnessed your own record being broken, do you have anything to say?"

The flash clicked on Zhou Wei's face. His expression was indeed a little awkward at first, but after all, he had seen this kind of scene before when he was still at his peak, so he quickly adjusted. come over.

He took Wen Hao's hand, gave a thumbs up and said:
  "At the beginning, I felt a little sad, just like when Chen Wenzhong's record was broken by me, he was also unconvinced at that time. I heard that he felt uncomfortable for a while!

But I quickly figured it out. The national record I set eight years ago was 10 seconds. Not to mention Europe and the United States, which are leading in track and field, this result is far behind Neon!

10 seconds 17 is my limit as Zhou Wei, but it definitely should not and cannot be China’s limit for meters! Otherwise, it means that China’s sprint development over the years has stagnated and failed! "

Having said this, Zhou Wei even raised his arms to hug Wen Hao and patted him twice on the shoulder.

"I am very happy today. As a member of Chinese track and field and Chinese sprint, I have witnessed the birth of a new historical moment.

And this new historical moment was created by a young man who was only 18 years old!

This gives me reason to believe that in the days to come, a new generation of Chinese sprinters as full of vigor as Wen Hao will be able to continue to create new history and new heights! "
