Chapter 75: 075 Canary(1/2)
It is common for female sports competition cycles to coincide with menstruation. In China, people tend to tolerate it and take medicine or take medicine for insufficient time, which may affect the urine test results.
During normal training, it is not allowed to take medicine casually during menstruation, so after Yuan Jin finished explaining his purpose, he looked at Dr. Chen quietly.
She knows that some foreign athletes will take medicine before competition to delay their menstruation, but there are relatively few people doing this in China.
"Gu Yuanjin? You haven't had your period this month, right?" Dr. Chen said with a smile after reading her health file, "You can use a pregnancy test paper to test first. Generally, a false positive will be detected before menstruation. If this is the case,
After a few days, your menstrual period next month should not coincide with the competition. According to the regulations, I do not recommend that you take medicine to delay your menstrual period."
She is just 17 years old, so the small number of medicines she takes will not have much impact on her body, but she is the target of key training. If she continues to rely on medicine to delay or advance her menstruation, it will cause harm to her body.
"It is true that this month has not come. It has been postponed for a week." Yuan Jin raised a smile and said, "Then I will test it with a test paper. Don't worry."
She didn’t want to take medicine, but she had no choice. If she delayed it for another week, she might get into trouble. She did it just to be on the safe side.
"Female athletes all have such troubles." Dr. Chen comforted her and got up to get her test strips.
This girl has won the championship in three competitions. If she really hits her menstruation period during the competition, it will indeed affect her. But the team also has regulations. In addition to the drugs banned by the swimming federation, other drugs should be avoided as much as possible.
The doping list is updated every year, and it is in everyone’s best interest to be cautious.
Yuan Jin got the test paper, thanked Dr. Chen and went back to continue training.
The training intensity this week has decreased, the content of the land training has not changed, and the water training is still focused on endurance and speed.
There is a 50-meter butterfly event in the World Championships, which requires great explosive power. Her current results are still close to the world record and have not been surpassed.
No one in China can surpass her performance, and in international competitions, she may not even get third place.
She had read the information and training methods of several masters of the 50-meter event many times, and carefully studied all the information she could find. To beat them, in addition to training, she had to continue to improve her physical fitness.
Now I have to add one more thing: don’t miss your period.
Yuan Jin returned to the training hall, threw the test strips into his backpack, took off his coat and went for a relaxing swim in the water.
"What's wrong with you? I see you're coming over from the team doctor." Yuan Xiuli waited for her to come out of the water, then followed her and asked with concern, "Is it okay?"
Yuan Jin's physical fitness is good. Since joining the provincial team, he has hardly ever been sick except for occasional menstrual cramps.
"I'm not sick. I wanted the team doctor to prescribe me medicine to delay my period, but I was rejected." Yuan Jin told the truth, "This month hasn't come yet. If it had been in these few days, I wouldn't have caught up with the game, or it would have been postponed for another week.
Neither will."
"It's right to reject you. You have just entered the developmental stage now, and taking medicine at this time will have a significant impact on the body." Yuan Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Dr. Chen didn't let you take medicine. Don't be nervous. I feel that you will not be able to take medicine this month."
It will be postponed until later in the day."
It has to be delayed by about a week at least. Her menstruation has never been on time, and every month it is a few days later than the last month.
"I'm not nervous. I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong." Yuan Jin smiled at her and walked up to the starting platform to make preparations. "I will try to come back with 6 gold medals."
Yuan Xiuli:......
There is no need to set the goal so high.
Yuan Jin relaxed and swam two kilometers in the water, and Gao Zhu and Liang Kunyao also started training in the water.
Everyone's training directions are different, so the training hall is filled with the sounds of coaches shouting and athletes entering the water.
Yuan Jin finished his explosive training and walked out of the pool. He found all the coaches gathered in the relaxation area. He took off his swimming goggles and frowned, "Sister Yuan, what's going on over there?"
"The girl who specializes in backstroke has bleeding ears. Doctor Chen is treating her." Yuan Xiuli walked over and handed her the elastic band, "The situation shouldn't be serious."
Yuan Jin hummed, took the elastic band and stood by the pool doing elastic band traction exercises.
Ear inflammation is common if you soak in water for too long.
Yuan Jin did the elastic band traction training for a while. When he saw Gao Zhu and the others turning back, he raised the corner of his lips and stood on the starting platform, "Is she okay?"
"It's okay. Dr. Chen has taken care of it. It's just that we can't do the water training this afternoon, so we will change it to land training." Gao Zhu stood on the starting platform next to her and shrugged, "Training cannot be interrupted, no matter what happens.
.”
Yuan Jin smiled and bent down to make preparations.
Liang Kunyao and the others made preparations one after another. When the coach's whistle sounded, everyone quickly jumped into the water and swam forward desperately.
This training camp is mainly for the World Championships. The swimming pool in the training center has the same specifications as the competition swimming pool, instead of the short pool used for usual practice.
Yuan Jin exhaled after getting out of the water and looked at Yuan Xiuli.
"0.68 seconds." Yuan Xiuli reported the number to her.
Yuan Jin nodded and stood on the starting platform again, waiting for others to be ready and continue to enter the water when the whistle sounded. It took almost one second to catch up with the world record of 50 meters, but it was not enough.
The acceleration training lasted until 6 p.m. Yuan Jin's results were very stable, and he was always about 0.6 seconds away from the world record.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, she went to the cafeteria to eat. Gao Zhu and Miao Nianzhen joined her and whispered about the teammate who had an ear infection.
Regardless of whether it is training or competition, physical discomfort may occur, and the two of them are worried that Yuan Jin will overthink it and comfort her along the way.
"I'm fine. I knew what I would face before I chose to be an athlete." Yuan Jin was amused by their nervous looks. "As long as the doctor is here, I won't care about problems that are not too serious."
"That's good. You just joined the team not long ago, so we were worried that you would be scared." Miao Nianzhen covered her mouth and smiled, "As long as you are not scared, you will gradually get used to this kind of thing."
"Before, in the provincial team, some teammates with good results retired due to serious ear inflammation." Gao Zhu patted Yuan Jin's shoulder and couldn't help sighing, "There were also teammates who had to retire because their bodies were growing too fast and their grades couldn't be improved.
.”
The golden age of athletes is only a few years. If their performance cannot improve, the only way is to retire.
"The strong survive." Yuan Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Competitive sports have always been so cruel, and only the strong can reach the top.
Miao Nianzhen nodded, hugged her shoulders and remained silent. Everyone knows the principle of survival of the strong, and they all want to become stronger, so it is even more uncomfortable to see teammates suffering from injuries.
Things harm their own kind.
The training after dinner was mainly about relaxation. Yuan Jin finished his arm strength training in the gym and started to practice boxing in the corner.
Practicing boxing can allow the strength of various parts of the body to be concentrated on the parts where you want to exert force according to your own needs. The effect is better than elastic bands.
She uses both methods, and her results are basically stable.
It continued until the end of the training camp and exceeded the 50-meter butterfly world record, which was not a big problem.
After Yuan Jin finished playing, he found that there were two more teammates beside him whose names he couldn't name. He asked suspiciously, "Are you two okay?"
"It's okay." One of the girls glanced at Yuan Jin and pulled her companion away.
Yuan Jin shook his head and continued to practice boxing.
"I thought I had some secret that I didn't want people to know, so I hid myself to practice on purpose. It turned out to be a simple method." The girl who was talking to Yuan Jin before covered her mouth and lowered her voice to mock, "I'm afraid Kunyao won't win the championship this time.
.Obviously she is the key training target and the seed athlete in the butterfly event of this World Championships, but a roadblock suddenly appeared."
"I heard that her breaststroke performance is also super good. Since the great master of breaststroke retired, there has been no strong player in the past few years. Why doesn't she try breaststroke?" Another girl said with a puzzled tone, "She did it on purpose
Right."
"I also heard that she is very good at breaststroke. They were selected internally for the provincial team, and her breaststroke performance broke the world record, but she actually chose the butterfly stroke."
"Coach Jiang of their provincial team is the most pitiful. The talents he discovered on his own ended up being cheaper than teaching butterfly swimming."
"If I were Liang Kunyao, I would tell the coach that Gu Yuanjin should continue to study breaststroke. Since he can develop both strokes, why not do breaststroke, which has no obvious advantages."
"Maybe this is the trouble of genius?"
…
The conversation between the two was not loud. Yuan Jin had a better ear than ordinary people because she practiced formulas and boxing skills. It was true that she had fought for what they were talking about, but it was of no use.
Jiang Hong said that she has a good chance of winning the butterfly event. The provincial swimming team's best result in recent years was third place in the National Championships, and they barely qualified for the World Championships, let alone win the championship.
Let her focus on butterfly swimming because she hopes that she can win three championships in the butterfly event at the World Championships. If she can win freestyle, she can win it, and if she can't win, don't force her to do her best to ensure that she does not lose the gold medal in butterfly swimming.
After this world championship is over, if she still wants to win butterfly championships in other international competitions, she can continue. If she wants to focus on breaststroke, she can focus on breaststroke.
To put it simply -
Jiang Hong hopes that she can win the championship in the two swimming styles that she is good at.
Yuan Jin had objections to his arrangement at first, but later he felt it was feasible.
She is only 17 years old. After winning the butterfly event once and then the breaststroke event, it is almost time for her to retire.
During this time, she would occasionally relax her brain while making up for her cultural classes, and collected information on all the famous swimmers online, especially on their techniques and training methods.
The training methods in foreign countries are very different from those in China. It is hard to say which one is more scientific.
There are many reasons that affect speed, such as genes, physical fitness, training methods, skills, and individual explosive power.
She has not yet started to try foreign training methods. The competition is coming soon, and any experiment at this time will be rejected.
Yuan Jin finished another set of boxing, stretched a little, took a shower and returned to the dormitory to catch up on cultural classes.
Chonghua’s final exam is at the end of June, 11 days earlier than public schools.
Her grades last semester were not satisfactory, so she has to work harder this semester.
Early the next morning, Yuan Jin tested it with a test strip and found not a single bar. She exhaled, put on her clothes and went out for a morning run.
If there is no false positive test, it means that it is impossible to have menstruation in the past few days. If it is postponed again, it will be at the end of the month, which will coincide with the competition.
To be continued...
