In the 1930s, the nail shoes used for sprinting were all American products, and the price was too expensive, so Chen Qiang was reluctant to buy them.
So Chen Qiang has always worn ordinary domestic sports shoes, which are not expensive and are quite sturdy and wear-resistant.
When Chen Qiang was in the Shanghai selection competition, he also wore sports shoes. No one cared about it at that time. First, the level of the selection competition was relatively low, and there was always the kind of athletes who focused on participating in it. Second, there was Zhou Songling's big mouth, who promoted Chen Qiang to be a coachman everywhere. For coachmen, wearing ordinary sneakers is natural.
But now it is the National Sports Games, and the competitions are all the best in various provinces. Although their strength is not as good as those of later generations, they are also considered professional athletes of this era. How could they wear a pair of ordinary sports shoes and participate in the sprint competition? Nail running shoes are the most basic equipment.
Chen Qiang is still wearing an ordinary pair of sneakers, it would be strange if he is not criticized!
Fortunately, Chen Qiang has enough strength. Although nail running shoes can improve athletes' performance, for Chen Qiang, it is still the level of a second-level athlete. The performance gap between ordinary sports shoes and nail running shoes is acceptable and can be compensated through technology.
If you enter within 11 seconds, then Chen Qiang cannot ignore the role of nail running shoes. This era is a world-class competition within 11 seconds. When it reaches that level, every 0.1 second is a level. A pair of nail running shoes will directly determine the ownership of a champion.
It is still only the 100-meter preliminary round, and the level of participating athletes is relatively low. Even some masters will not show their full strength during the preliminary round, so the players in the entire preliminary round will not be too high. Chen Qiang's score of more than 12 seconds is enough to advance to the rematch.
It's just a time of 12 seconds to run, and whether to wear nail shoes or not has no effect on Chen Qiang, and domestic sports shoes can still run.
In fact, the result of the early 12 seconds is already very fast in the preliminary round.
In the third National Games six years ago, Zhu Baozhang won the 100-meter championship in 12 seconds. At that time, he could get a ranking in the early 12 seconds.
...
When Chen Qiang walked off the track, no one dared to underestimate this young man wearing sports shoes.
Chen Qiang's preliminary round score was 12 seconds 2, which is far beyond the five players in the same group. Even among all the athletes participating in the preliminary round, they are relatively fast.
A contestant who didn't even wear nail running shoes actually ran a 12-second time, which immediately attracted the attention of other contestants.
Of course, except for the athletes of the Shanghai team, they had long known that Chen Qiang could run 11.7 seconds, compared with that, 12.2 seconds is nothing.
"12 seconds 2, you should be able to reach the finals, right?" someone suddenly said.
"It's possible! After all, there are only six places in the finals, and Zhu Baozhang from Tianjin and Liu Changchun from Northeast China have already occupied two. In addition, Zhang Shiguang from Peking, Han Jinglin from Hebei, Zeng Rongzhong from Hangzhou, and this young man from Shanghai can only compete for the last place in the finals."
...
On the rostrum, the examiner sat there with a expressionless face, but everyone knew that he must be very embarrassed in his heart now.
Just after I finished speaking, I didn’t have a competitive attitude, didn’t pay attention to competitions, and regarded the competition as a juggling game. It was a black sheep that made people a lot of people. As a result, they immediately got the first place in the group, and they were even ahead of other players!
Even if he was slapped in the face, he would come slowly! What's more, in front of so many subordinates, he, the dignified examination director and government boss, can he put his face?
Moreover, the exam dean cannot blame Chen Qiang. Could it be that he blamed Chen Qiang for running faster than others? He is here to participate in the competition, but he should have run faster than others!
Besides, such a big shot will not compete with an athlete, so big shots naturally have to show their magnanimity.
So the exam dean could only interrupt his teeth and swallow it by himself.
However, when the leader is in trouble, all directions will support him. When an earthquake occurs, let the leader go first.
The government of the Republic of China has "five courts", namely the Executive Yuan, the Legislative Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, the Supervision Yuan and the Examination Yuan. The Examination Yuan has the power of life and death such as appointment, promotion, praise, pension, retirement, etc., and the power of the Examination Director can be imagined. Anyone who is an official can ignore the judicial Yuan and the Supervision Yuan, but he must lick the Examination Yuan, and he can control your promotion!
Now that the director of the exam has been slapped in the face, there will naturally be people trying every means to solve their problems for their leaders. How can you miss this opportunity to flatter the leader?
So, just after the preliminary round of the 100-meter sprint, a director named Lu hurried to the office area of ​​the National Games Preparatory Committee.
...
Office area of ​​the National Games Preparatory Committee.
"Director Lu, what wind has given you!" Someone came forward with a smile and greeted him.
"I am also one of the preparatory committee members of the National Games. Why, can't I come?" Director Lu said with a smile.
"Director Lu, what are you talking about? You are here to guide the work personally. We welcome you too late. Please come in and invite me!" The person who spoke invited Director Lu in.
After Director Lu sat down, someone naturally served tea and water. Director Lu tasted a sip of tea and asked, "The rematch group of the 100-meter sprint has come out, right?"
The man rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Director Lu meant. He waved his hand and said, "Come on to get the group list of the 100-meter sprint rematch, please guide us on your work."
The 100-meter rematch group list was handed to Director Lu, and a pen was handed over.
"Director Lu, please give me guidance."
Director Lu soon found Chen Qiang on the list.
In fact, Director Lu did not know Chen Qiang's name, but not only did the list contain the name, but also the region and number. Director Lu had long recorded that Chen Qiang was an athlete of the Shanghai team, and he found Chen Qiang in an instant.
"It's this person! It turns out that this kid is Chen Qiang!" Director Lu smiled and said, "You dare to embarrass the director of the exam. No matter how powerful you are, you can't even enter the finals!"
Then Director Lu outlined the group list for the rematch.
...
There are many contestants in the 100-meter race and the competition is very fierce. However, after passing the preliminary round, most of the contestants have been eliminated.
Today is the first day of the competition, and another opening ceremony was held in the morning, so the whole day competition was over 4 pm.
The next morning, the rematch and final of the 100-meter sprint will be held, so Chen Qiang returned to the dormitory early to rest.
When he woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning. After having breakfast, Chen Qiang went straight to the National Sports Field.
The group list for the 100-meter rematch has been announced.
"I am in the same group as Liu Changchun. Now I'm done. I'm afraid I can't advance to the finals!" Cheng Jinguan said with a sad face.
Chen Qiang looked for his name on the list.
"I am in the same group as Zhu Baozhang!" Chen Qiang said.
"It would be great if I could change with you. Haven't you always wanted to see Liu Changchun? I just happened to want to compete with my idol Zhu Baozhang. If we change, we will be satisfied." Cheng Jinguan said and looked at Chen Qiang's group.
"How could you be grouped like this!" Cheng Jinguan exclaimed: "My goodness, Chen Qiang, your luck is much worse than mine. There are not only Zhu Baozhang in your group, but also Zhang Shiguang and Zeng Rongzhong! You are the death group!"
