Su Feng was lying on a chair in the athletes' lounge, with a warm towel covering his head, and bursts of cheers came from the stadium.
But these didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and the team leader also left this lounge alone to him, not allowing anyone to disturb him.
Ten years!
Ten years ago, 25-year-old Su Feng time-traveled into the body of a seven-year-old boy and received a "national honor" system.
This system does not allow him to make money, nor does it allow him to engage in scientific research.
Instead, let him practice sprinting.
Follow what the system says.
To make money, the country has many big companies.
When it comes to technology, the country is full of smart people.
However, breaking the limits of human race cannot be solved by technology and money. The sense of national honor and pride it can bring is completely different from economic and technological progress.
Sprinting is recognized as the sport that best reflects the quality of a race.
There are not so many gorgeous skills, the only thing you need is your body!
So Su Feng started practicing sprinting at the age of seven, and he practiced sprinting for ten years.
Finally, at the final National Games, Su Feng won the A mark for the 2004 Athens Olympics with a time of 10.18 that was close to the national record. He was the only Chinese athlete to compete in the 100-meter race.
Even though he only got the Olympic A-standard, this made the track and field team leaders and the directors of the sports committee excited for a long time. Finally, there was someone who could compete on the Olympic track. This also saved the track and field team's face.
With such an A mark, during the interview with Yang Ma, the head of the Sports Committee even mentioned it separately, "In this Olympics, we are also prepared in the men's 100 meters and strive to make a breakthrough."
…
"Huh", Su Feng picked up the towel and sat up, shouting in his mind "System, get the Olympic Games sign-in reward".
"Ding, the Athens Olympics participation rewards have been extracted, and the talent limit has been increased to 9 seconds 88. For the next competition, you can choose to enter the system assistance mode to coordinate the host to quickly adapt to this body temporarily."
"What?"
"Nine seconds and eighty-eight!" Su Feng stood up. As a track and field athlete and a sprint enthusiast in his previous life, if he remembered correctly.
The top three times in the 2004 100-meter final were Gatlin's time of 9.85 seconds for the U.S. team, 9.86 seconds for Portugal's naturalized player Obikveru, and 9.87 seconds for Green, a member of the U.S. team.
In this case, not only did he break ten seconds, but he also had a chance to get fourth place!
In this Olympic Games, there are four shots in the 100 meters, namely the preliminaries, semi-finals, semi-finals and finals.
The requirement for the entire team, from teammates to leaders, is to take the second shot, but according to the current situation, there is a chance that the fourth shot will be scored.
"Enter assist mode!"
"Ding, the assist mode has entered. The current utilization rate of the body's potential is 70%, and it can quickly break through in the next game."
"Seventy percent?" Su Feng murmured.
"That's enough."
"I wonder how Liu Feiren is doing now?" Su Feng stretched his arms and legs and thought involuntarily.
Liu Feiren's competition will be in a few days, but he is also a member of the track and field team, so he naturally met Liu Feiren and communicated for a while.
At this time, the Flying Dragon is in the field, but he has already shown his prominence in some international competitions and is a seed athlete in the track and field events of this Olympic Games.
The whole team has high expectations for him, and the pressure on him is definitely greater than on himself.
"Su Feng, it's time to enter, are you ready?" At this time, Wang Cong, the deputy leader of the track and field team, hurried in.
"Okay, Brother Wang, I'm ready." Su Feng nodded solemnly.
Although the system has increased his talent limit and allowed him to have complete control over his new body for a short period of time during the Olympics after entering assist mode, even if it is 100%, this is only equivalent to what he has temporarily.
Achieved the strength of 9 seconds 88.
However, in the Olympics, especially in sprinting, a single distraction could make a world of difference in performance, so he couldn't help but be careless.
But finally, the system this time turned out to be very powerful. Now, he is no longer here to make soy sauce, but has the opportunity to challenge the top four or even top three masters.
What we have to do now is to face every subsequent game seriously and break through the potential utilization rate to 100% before the finals!
…
"Su Feng is about to come on stage."
On the sidelines, several coaches of the track and field team's sprint events were nervously looking at Su Feng who came out of the lounge.
After this guy warmed up before the game, he said he needed to adjust mentally, so they sent him back to the lounge to adjust.
Ordinarily this is inappropriate, the coach has a coach's plan.
But this is the eve of the 100-meter race in the Olympic Games. It is very normal for athletes to be under too much pressure and have psychological changes. What they have to do is follow the athletes' emotions to the greatest extent, because it is the athletes themselves who are really on the track.
.
"Old He, what's going on with you? Why are you not as nervous as we are?" Coach Zhao's name is Zhao Youde. One of his athletes, Zhang Yao, reached the Olympic B standard in the 200 meters.
The old He he was talking about was called He Jun. He was Su Feng's head coach from the city team, and he was also Su Feng's boss.
Originally he was not a member of the national team's coaching staff, but because Su Feng unexpectedly ran the Olympic A standard in the national competition a few months ago, he joined the coaching staff through a fast-track process.
"He." He Jun is an old track and field person. He has wasted half his life and has turned his back on everything. Moreover, he is not surprised by the way Su Feng adjusts on the spot.
From the age of eleven, Su Feng had to go back to the lounge to adjust himself in several important games. If he lost, it might be because he was not mentally good, but the important thing was that he exceeded himself every time.
The expected good results show that the psychological adjustment ability is strong.
However, this method of calming down before a game does not apply to everyone.
As soon as the matter was mentioned, the other coaches immediately looked at each other. They thought Su Feng was mentally weak, but they didn't expect to say such a thing.
"I hope it's as you said." Several people looked at each other and wished each other.
Several people are sincere. At this time, in the Olympic track and field competition, every athlete represents the honor of the motherland. Naturally, they all sincerely wish.
He Jun nodded after listening to what a few people said, and then looked up at Su Feng, who had already reached the 100-meter starting line.
"Go hard." He Jun said secretly. In past competitions, he might have been able to exert his strongest strength through psychological adjustment and get good results, but this was the Olympics, and he was not sure about Su Feng's performance.
…
At this time, in the entire stadium, there were not many people paying attention to the Chinese team.
Track and field has always been China's weakness, so those who pay attention to the Chinese track and field team are often local Chinese, overseas students, media staff, and other types of Chinese athletes who have time.
Ever since New China participated in the Olympic Games, there have been very few Chinese people on the men's 100-meter track.
Like the recent 2000 Sydney Olympics, no one in the entire Chinese team reached the Olympic A standard, but this time, we finally have one.
"Su Feng is in the ninth lane of the sixth group. The strength of this group is relatively weak, but the lane is really disadvantaged." Li Guangfu, the women's 400m coach next to Zhao Youde, analyzed.
"The international ranking is too low, but as long as we can enter the top three, we can directly enter the semi-finals." Yuan Hua, captain of the track and field team, came over at this time.
In the ten preliminaries of the men's 100 meters, each group can advance as long as the top three results are achieved. The rest are ranked by performance, and the top ten athletes can also advance, which means that a total of 10 athletes can advance to the next round of rematches.
Forty people entered.
And these forty people can be said to be the forty fastest people in the world.
You can imagine how difficult it would be for Su Feng to advance.
At this time, at the 100-meter starting line, Su Feng knew the tremendous pressure he was under.
As the Olympic crown of the men's 100 meters and the embodiment of absolute human speed, both the public and the media have great expectations for Su Feng's competition.
And this expectation turned into pressure at this time.
But athletes, especially athletes in competitive sports, must bear this pressure.
"National honor system." Su Feng touched his heart with his hand, looked up at the sky, and murmured secretly in his heart. He had never felt such great pressure in previous domestic competitions.
"This is not my honor alone, but the honor of the entire nation." Thinking of this, Su Feng's eyes became sharp, and his mind seemed to be suddenly cleared, and all eyes were focused on the track in front of him.
"on your marks."
As the stadium broadcast began to call for athletes to take their positions, the 70,000 spectators at the scene fell silent almost at the same time.
Su Feng leaned over and lowered his head, pressed his hands on the track, stepped on the starting block with both feet, and quickly adjusted his body to the most comfortable angle.
