Chapter 81: 081 Canary(1/2)

Yuan Xiuli was silent for a moment, and whispered to Yuan Jin that the results of the investigation would be out by the weekend at the latest.

Yuan Jin asked again and again, knowing that Jiang Hong would not leave the provincial team, so he went to train with peace of mind. The new training method does have high requirements for coaches and assistants. Every athlete who enters the provincial team has his own training file. Healthy

file.

The original training method was for a dozen second-tier athletes to participate in summer training with the coach, and then conduct an assessment before the end. Those who passed the assessment entered the provincial team, and those who failed either went back to the sports school or went back to study hard.

There are dozens of second-tier athletes participating in training camps every year, and there are especially many this year.

Whether they are coaches or assistants, they must be aware of each athlete participating in the training camp and develop targeted training methods for them. It is normal to complain if the workload suddenly increases and wages and bonuses are not increased.

.

The person who proposed changing the training methods was Jiang Hong. It was strange that the coach who was competing with him was convinced.

In their view, Jiang Hong came back with a world championship for nothing, and he became a championship coach without paying anything at all.

In fact, after Yuan Jin entered the sports school, Jiang Hong was not the only one to know about her existence.

Teacher Zhang took Yuan Jin for a urine test. This matter was not a secret. Most of the coaches were skeptical and didn't bother to ask. Only Jiang Hong heard about Yuan Jin's results from the principal and went to the sports school to see her in person.

Jiang Hong did not contribute much in training, but without him, Yuan Jin would not have entered the provincial team in such a short period of time.

Yuan Jin returned to the training hall and cheered up to train.

Jiang Hong also hoped that she would win the gold medal in the breaststroke event and would not give up being a coach just because she was reported.

In the blink of an eye, on Friday, the result of Jiang Hong's report came out.

The head coach resigned, and Jiang Hong was promoted to the head coach of the provincial team. He reported that Jiang Hong allowed Yuan Jin to take drugs that were not on the doping list, and the coach who improved the performance was fired.

All athletes in the swimming team are redistributed, and there are as many athletes in the hands of coaches of disadvantaged sports as there are in the hands of coaches of advantaged sports.

Both coaches and athletes complained about this arrangement.

Yuan Jin was completely relieved.

The summer training and assessment of the second-tier athletes also officially begins at this time.

On the first day of assessment, ten of the thirty second-tier athletes met the selection criteria, which was double the rate of last year.

After three consecutive days of assessment, 50 of the 110 second-tier athletes were selected to meet the standards.

After the second round of assessment, 20 outstanding candidates were selected to join the provincial team.

The final list was finalized, and the coaches who were previously dissatisfied with the new training methods had nothing to say. Last year, there were less than five athletes who qualified for the provincial team, but this year the number has quadrupled.

"With the newcomers coming, we are under greater pressure." Gao Zhu joked, "I can't keep the gold medal, and the opportunities to participate in competitions are getting less and less. I have to arrange my life after retirement in advance."

"Don't be afraid, it's easier for newcomers to come forward than before, but we still have an advantage." Miao Nianzhen is very optimistic. "The World Cup is also a short-course World Championship qualifying tournament. The more people compete, the greater our country's hope of winning a medal.

"

For many disadvantaged projects, most of them meet the B standard, and very few meet both the A standard.

Yuan Jin and Liang Kunyao are relatively good, but only a few projects have reached the A standard, not all.

"That's right. If you have more players from your own country participating in international competitions, you will have more chances to win medals." Gao Zhu relaxed and laughed, "As a veteran, you have to take care of the newcomers."

Yuan Jin patted her shoulder and curled his lips to practice.

There are no restrictions on qualifications for the World Cup. It is a qualifying event for the Short Course World Championships and is also a tour for professional athletes to earn income.

The number of participating masters is far less than that of the World Swimming Championships, and it is also not as many as the Olympic Games.

The reason why she signed up for this competition was mainly to win the gold medal. After winning the butterfly stroke gold medal in all swimming competitions, she switched to the breaststroke gold medal and tried to win the package grand slam in both events.

This year's World Cup has a total of 6 events. Jiang Hong signed her up for a butterfly swimming event package, including 50-meter freestyle, 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle, which is still 6 events.

The short course competition has higher technical requirements for turning and starting than the long course. It is not easy to qualify for the short course world championships.

After a month of training, Yuan Jin and Gao Zhu gradually became familiar with the starting and turning techniques of short course competitions, striving for perfection.

In the first test, their scores all reached the B mark, which was still a little away from the A mark.

In order to improve their performance as quickly as possible, Jiang Hong found countless videos of short course competitions and broke down the opponent's technical points for them to train.

Yuan Jin tried several times to improve his starting method and turning control, and successfully reached the A standard in the second test.

With the provincial team coaching change settled, the FINA Swimming World Cup is about to begin.

In this competition, Yuan Jin, Gao Zhu, Miao Nianzhen, and Liang Kunyao all signed up to participate, and they were joined by five male team members.

In this World Cup in Hong Kong, more than 200 athletes from all over the world participated. The competition, which was originally not well-known, was covered by the media because of the participation of Yuan Jin and Gao Zhu.

After the World Championships, Liang Kunyao's training volume dropped, she signed three endorsements, and attended many commercial activities.

Gao Zhu and Miao Nianzhen also have frequent commercial arrangements, but most of the time, they train with Yuan Jin. Yuan Jin does not sign any endorsements or participate in commercial activities, so it is difficult for netizens to get information about her.

The list of participants for the World Cup Port City Station was announced, and the media reporters immediately covered the event as if they were on fire.

Everyone is curious about which events Yuan Jin has signed up for this time and whether he will win the championship again.

Overseas media are also rushing to report on Yuanjin’s participation. For a time, the popularity of the World Cup in Hong Kong was even higher than that of the just-concluded World Championships.

After Yuan Jin arrived in Hong Kong City with the team, he hung out with Gao Zhu and others as usual and took photos.

After two days of rest, the competition officially started.

The competition lasts for 3 days, with preliminaries in the morning and finals in the afternoon.

Gao Zhu, Miao Nianzhen and Liang Kunyao all signed up for the 50m and 100m competitions in non-dominant events this time.

At the end of all competitions, the Chinese women's swimming team once again delivered perfect results.

Compared with the World Championships, Gao Zhu and Miao Ninzhen made amazing progress. Gao Zhu won the third place in the 50m freestyle, while Miao Ninzhen won the runner-up in the 50m backstroke and the 100m championship. Liang Kunyao won the runner-up in the 50m freestyle and medley.

100m, 200m champion.

Yuan Jin unexpectedly won the championship in the 6 projects he applied for, adding another achievement to his award-winning resume.

The performance of the men's team was also good. Several members of the C Province swimming team participated in the competition and won medals and rankings in their first competition.

Returning to the provincial team, Gao Zhu and Miao Nianzhen's commercial value further increased, and there were so many brands that Yuan Jin endorsed that it gave Jiang Hong a headache.

"You asked her to win all the gold medals in butterfly swimming, but she still has to go to the World Short Course Championships and Olympic Games." Yuan Xiuli couldn't help teasing, "You have to think about it in advance. When she wins the Grand Slam in breaststroke, what will happen?

Several brands can afford her."

The cost of hiring Yuan Jin for endorsement is currently the highest except for the championship-winning veteran of the men's team.

The price quoted for each brand is tens of millions.

After deducting taxes, Yuan Jin received a huge sum of money, much more than the prize money she received for winning the World Championships.

"I don't have any legal authority on which brand to endorse. One has to respect her opinion, and the other depends on the arrangements of the swimming center of the General Administration." Jiang Hong smiled bitterly, "I hope she makes more money, but she doesn't seem to like participating in commercial activities very much.

"

"She wouldn't like anyone else. Every time she participates in a business event, a reporter will ask her the secret of winning the championship and what her relationship is with the Fu family." Yuan Xiuli took out the interview outlines sent by various newspapers and handed them over casually.

In the past, "Look at what questions are being asked."

The provincial team arranges cultural classes, and Yuan Jin is currently in the science class as a sophomore in high school. Her grades are not considered good in Chonghua, but they are still much better than other athletes.

It's so perfect that you can't find any faults.

"Media that like to ask random questions refuse to interview. The reporters from the national news agency still have to arrange it." Jiang Hong explained after reading the interview outline sent by the media unit, "You also give her the brands and quotations that you want her to endorse.

Take a look and let her choose."

Yuan Xiuli laughed, packed up various documents and went to find Yuan Jin.

The World Short Course Championships will be held in December and they are currently resting. Yuan Jin returned to Lin City and stayed with the provincial team for one day before hiding back home.

If you want to see her, you have to go to her home.

Yuan Xiuli drove to the community where Yuan Jin's home was located, called her and found out she was at home, so she went directly upstairs.

"Endorsements and interviews?" Yuan Jin looked at the documents in Yuan Xiuli's arms and was filled with despair, "Can I not accept them all?"

The interview with the National News Agency was okay, but the interviews with other media units were purely for digging up gossip, and I was annoyed when I saw the outline.

"I think it's okay for you to accept a few high-quality and high-priced endorsements." Yuan Xiuli stuffed the documents into her arms, changed her shoes and took her to sit down in the living room. "If you make more money, will you go to school after retirement?"

I have the confidence to do anything else."

She truly feels that Yuan Jin is suitable to be a coach.

Jiang Hong also has many ideas for improving training methods, but his design capabilities are far inferior to Yuan Jin's.

Setting up each athlete's own training file and health file may seem annoying at first. Once you stick to it, the strengths and weaknesses of each athlete will be clear at a glance, and you can adjust the training course as needed at any time.

This method of accurately formulating training courses can maximize the performance of every athlete who enters the provincial team and increase their chances of winning a card.

"Then I'll give you an answer after reading it. I don't guarantee that I will be an endorser. I'm just taking a look." Yuan Jin is not very interested in endorsements.

She doesn't like to attend business events, and she doesn't want anyone to blame her for problems with the brands she endorses.

"What the General Administration Swimming Center means is that they respect your choice and hope you choose carefully." Yuan Xiuli simply made her words clear, "You pick one or two that you can accept, not too many."

Her commercial value is high. Some brands contact the General Administration directly, and some contact the provincial team. If there is a conflict, the provincial team will have to give up the choice, and it will be decided by the General Administration and Yuanjin.

Star athletes' endorsement split is 50-50, with the General Administration taking half and the athletes taking half.
