July 8, 2015, Nanren Sports Training Base in Beijing.
"Run!" As Su Bingtian shouted, Su Feng took the baton and quickly ran out, quickly passing by Coach Tian.
"Okay." Coach Tian shouted, and then let a few people go to rest, while he and the coaching staff analyzed the results of the relay team.
"This time it's 37 seconds 20, write it down."
Coach Tian gave instructions to the assistant coach who managed the data, and the other person then entered the results into the computer.
"The current results are still rising in a fluctuating manner. These four guys are really amazing. Except for Su Feng, all of them are extremely talented." Coach He was also here, looking at the performance graph that appeared and sighed in disbelief.
.
As for Su Feng, in the eyes of many coaches, he is synonymous with monster. He can no longer be described as simply talented.
"Yes." Coach Tian glanced at Chen Zhilong, who started training after the main team rested, and then said.
"One thing to say, Xie Zhenye's talent is indeed world-class. Chen Zhilong works hard, but talent is still too important for sprinting.
It’s hard to say whether Xie Zhenye’s talent is as good as Xiaotian’s, but it’s definitely better than Zhang Peimeng’s.
With him here, the Chinese team will have no shortcomings even when facing the United States and Jamaica, which is indeed much more reassuring."
Coach Tian will not deny Chen Zhilong’s achievements.
But on the track and field, strength still has to speak for itself. Only by constantly eliminating the weak and replacing the strong can the entire team become stronger and stronger.
In fact, not only Coach Tian is more relieved, Su Feng is also more relieved.
He and Chen Zhilong have been in a relationship for more than ten years, and they have never been embarrassed. Naturally, they are very good.
But every time he faces the United States and Jamaica, Chen Zhilong scares him. This is also true.
In 2013, it was the strength of Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng that gave Su Feng the confidence to face the American team.
Even if Chen Zhilong loses by two or three meters, Su Feng has the confidence and ability to win back when facing the last American opponent, whether Gatlin or Tyson Gay.
That's why the Chinese team can continuously win silver medals in competitions.
But when facing Jamaica, when he wanted to win the gold medal, Su Feng was unable to do what he wanted.
After all, no matter how strong he is, there is no way he can catch up to the distance of two or three meters when Bolt runs the last leg.
Now he is fine. After more than a year of hard training, Xie Zhenye's early injuries were completely cured due to Su Feng's timely intervention.
Then there are Su Feng and others as role models.
Xie Zhenye has now reached the speed of 100 meters within 10 seconds, becoming the fourth Chinese player to break 10 seconds.
This caused a stir in the domestic media at the time, as well as in Asia and the world.
Of course, this is not simply because another person has broken ten. After all, China already has three.
Moreover, one of these three is a super master who broke 9.50 seconds, and two broke 9.90 seconds.
It caused a sensation and spread to Asia and the world.
It's because after Xie Zhenye breaks ten, all four of the main members of the Chinese relay team will have broken ten!
what does that mean?
This means that the Chinese team will become the third and only three relay teams in the world to have a score of all ten points after the Jamaican team and the United States team.
This means that even compared with the American team, the Chinese team's paper results are actually evenly matched with their opponent's.
This means that coupled with the perfect strength to hand over the baton, the Chinese team definitely has the ability to knock the Jamaican team off the championship!
This is what excites audiences and track and field fans around the world the most.
People originally thought that no one could break the time of 36.84 seconds except for the Jamaican team. It would not be easy for the Jamaican team to break their own record in this kind of team event. After all, the error tolerance rate is too low and one link can go wrong.
, the overall performance will be greatly depressed.
Especially when there is no strong enough team as an opponent, it is difficult to even stay at the top, let alone break through again.
But seeing this lineup of the Chinese team, countless people were excited!
It can be said that the Chinese team has a lineup second only to Jamaica, but at the same time, the Chinese relay team has continuously cultivated a tacit understanding among the team members for more than ten years, and the relay technology has long been perfected.
With such a lineup and technology, challenging the limits of Jamaica will no longer be a dream!
In fact, within the Chinese team, the leaders are also extremely tempted by this.
You know, people say that individual sprint events reflect personal abilities.
But when it comes to relays, the general consensus is that relays show the overall sprinting level of a country.
If the Chinese team can really win the coveted gold medal, does it mean that China's overall sprinting level has become the best in the world?
Although saying this is somewhat inaccurate under China's training and selection system, it does not prevent this from being an achievement of the leaders.
However, this argument was eventually suppressed.
After all, no matter how well you say it, if it causes unnecessary pressure, it is better not to say it.
Everyone on this track and field team is now the leader's treasure, but no one dares to mess with them at will.
At this time, on the sidelines of the training ground.
Su Feng was chatting with Liu Yuxiang while sipping water to replenish his fluids under the willow tree nearby.
"Let me tell you, your relay team is really doing something great this time. What do you think of me, the world champion, joining your relay team?"
"Pfft" Even though he was drinking a small sip of water, Su Feng was so stimulated by Liu Yuxiang's sudden words that he spit out the water and almost choked.
"How's it going?" Seeing Su Feng's expression, Liu Yuxiang got excited and continued: "The 110-meter hurdles world champion will give you the first leg, or the second leg, or else the third leg, no matter which leg,
We are all world champions, and this guy can knock everyone down when he stands on the field."
"You really feel good about yourself." Su Feng had already reacted and rolled his eyes at Liu Yuxiang before saying.
"Go, go, good thing you are self-aware and didn't say you would run the last leg, otherwise I would just drink water and spray you to death. With your bumpy running posture, you might as well be funny."
Besides, as for your 100-meter time of 10.3 seconds and 10.4 seconds, who do you think you can replace?
Go ahead and run your hurdles, I don't have time for you to mess around." Su Feng patted Liu Yuxiang on the shoulder and then walked towards the track.
Liu Yuxiang was left alone shaking his head in regret.
Although this is just a joke, it is impossible for Liu Yuxiang to give up the hurdles he has practiced for more than ten years to run 100 meters, but it is enough to illustrate the status of this Chinese relay team in the eyes of the world, and even Chinese athletes.
Facing this complete Chinese relay team, it can be said that it is the strongest lineup that brings together the best of China's sprints in the past ten years. Who doesn't look forward to it?
Even Su Feng himself has put in a lot of effort. After all, this year is the capital hosting the local World Championships.
The most obvious thing is this year's Diamond League. Su Feng only participated in the first game and did not participate in any subsequent games, just to conduct more training with his teammates and hone his skills and coordination more perfectly.
Although it caused Bolt to stand out in the Diamond League points, Su Feng thought it was worth it.
August 8, 2015.
As the World Championships in Beijing draw closer, the competition atmosphere at Nanren Sports Training Center has become increasingly intense.
Athletes from all over the country gradually gathered at Nanren Training Center for the final closed training.
At this time, the high-level meeting of the General Administration of Sport was also being anxiously carried out in the large conference room of the General Administration.
In the original world, the Chinese track and field team only won one gold medal at the World Championships in Beijing, the second world-class comprehensive event held in China, and ranked 11th on the gold medal list, still behind Cuba.
From this, we can see the reason why these supervisors have held frequent meetings recently. Without it, they would have no idea.
"Coach Sun, how is Liu Yuxiang's physical condition? He strained his calf in June. Will it affect this competition?" Director Zhang Dong first asked Sun Ping, Liu Yuxiang's head coach.
After all, the number of medals ranked first is the number of gold medals, and the Chinese team can only win gold medals with a few points. People like Liu Yuxiang have greater influence besides gold medals, so they naturally have to prioritize.
"No problem." Coach Sun stood up and took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"Yuxiang's recovery is better than expected. This is also thanks to the leadership. He stopped all games immediately after the injury, so the injury did not recur. Now he has the physical condition to participate in the World Series."
