April 1, the opening day of the National Games.

The 4th National Games of Old China was very large, and it can be regarded as the largest National Games in Old China, with a total of more than 2,000 athletes participating, including more than 400 female athletes. It was also the first national event to feature a female athlete.

There are 23 participating teams participating in this year's National Games, of which Northeast China and Suiyuan are participating in the National Games for the first time, in addition, Hong Kong, and an overseas Chinese group from Kobe, Japan, are also independent teams.

The athletes all gathered in the stadium, which was not lively, and the stands were already crowded, with visiting groups and tourists from all over the country, and more enthusiastic citizens of Hangzhou.

Chen Qiang kept looking in the direction of the Northeast team, he was looking for Liu Changchun's figure.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Jinguan next to him asked.

"I'm looking for Liu Changchun, that Liu Changchun in the Northeast, you must have heard of his name, right?" Chen Qiang said.

"I know him, I've heard that he can run under 11 seconds, and he beat the Japanese last year, but this time, he came to the race with an injury." Cheng Jinguan lowered his voice, and then said: "I came to Hangzhou from Guanxi, this distance is not close, I heard that because of the fatigue of the boat, Liu Changchun's injury has worsened, so he has been resting since he came to Hangzhou, and you can't see him at today's opening ceremony." ”

Chen Qiang sighed a little disappointed: "That's a pity, I can only wait until the afternoon game to see him." ”

"Stop talking, the opening ceremony is about to start, be quiet!" Someone spoke, and Chen Qiang and Cheng Jinguan immediately stopped talking and stopped talking.

The opening ceremony of the 4th National Games officially began, the first step was for all the staff and all the athletes to go around the stadium, followed by the flag-raising and singing ceremony, and then to bow to the flag and the statue of Mr. Nakayama three times, followed by the reading of the Prime Minister's will, and all the people observed three minutes of silence.

In this era, this kind of large-scale activity is generally carried out in this way.

For Chen Qiang, this process is very new, and as a sports person from later generations, being able to witness this historic moment in person makes Chen Qiang's heart full of excitement. It's just that when singing, Chen Qiang can only open his mouth to fill up, and he can't sing at all.

Then came the leader's speech.

I saw a person standing on the rostrum, talking into the microphone and began to talk endlessly, because the distance was too far, Chen Qiang couldn't see this person's face clearly.

“…… With a sound physique, there is a sound spirit, a sound people, a sound nation, and only a sound nation, and then a sound culture can be created. Throughout the past and present, there is no national weakness and malaise in Daewoo, and its culture can be carried forward and prosperous, and its nation can be independent and self-existing......"

“…… The slump of national sports in the deep sense of the central government is actually the general cause of cultural decline, and it is also a medium for insults and chaos......

“…… In April, Xiangdi Hangzhou, half a year of business preparations, all provinces in the country in the Xianjian Pulling, enthusiastic to the meeting, north from Hebei Liao, south of the Lingbiao, as far as overseas Chinese descendants, more than 2,000 participants ......"

“…… It is hoped that from now on, there will be a meeting, held in a different place, and the wind will be established, from the capital to the countryside, and from the itchy school to the society, so that every household will become a regular class with physical education, exercise a solid physique, and cultivate the spirit of rape. If a strong father has no weak man, and if the good birth is so good, the nation will be strong, and the foundation of the country will be consolidated......"

This person spoke freely for most of the day, and when he finished speaking, the audience applauded, but Chen Qiang only understood half of it.

"Who is this person, I am in the clouds!" Chen Qiang couldn't help but whisper.

"He's the dean of exams." Cheng Jinguan reminded in a low voice.

Chen Qiang nodded: "It turned out to be in charge of the exam, no wonder he spoke in a crepe." ”

"The examiner is not just in charge of exams." Cheng Jinguan could only explain helplessly: "The examination institute is one of the 'five institutes', and the examination institute is responsible for the appointment, dismissal, promotion and praise of public servants. ”

Chen Qiang nodded suddenly, feeling that the authority of the dean of the examination was roughly similar to that of the organization minister of later generations.

This is followed by a series of speeches by leaders at all levels, if you replace it with a person who is familiar with history, you probably know who these people are, and Chen Qiang is not very familiar with the history of this era, and Chen Qiang does not know any of the so-called senior government officials.

The opening ceremony lasted from 9 a.m. to more than 11 a.m., and after the opening ceremony, a large number of athletes poured into the cafeteria, and Chen Qiang was one of them.

Chen Qiang ate as fast as he could, and then returned to the arena. The preliminaries of the 100-meter dash were held in the afternoon of the opening ceremony.

……

Chen Qiang felt that the schedule of this National Games was unreasonable, and the opening ceremony was only held for more than two hours in the morning, and he had to participate in the competition in the afternoon, so he didn't even have a buffer time.

The runners who participated in the 100-meter dash came to the field one after another, and the grouping of the runners has also been posted. Chen Qiang found familiar names such as Liu Changchun and Zhu Baozhang on the group list, but he didn't know any of the players in the same group as Chen Qiang.

"Liu Changchun from the Northeast is here!" I don't know who shouted.

Chen Qiang turned his head to look, and several contestants came in the distance, one of which was Liu Changchun.

Although Chen Qiang had never seen Liu Changchun in person, he still recognized Liu Changchun at first sight.

Compared with others, Liu Changchun is really special, standing in the crowd has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

"So strong!" Chen Qiang sighed lightly in his heart, this was his first impression of Liu Changchun.

Liu Changchun's arms are very thick, his legs are also thick, his muscle lines are obvious, and his figure looks more like a European and American.

In the National Games, there are a lot of athletes who look strong, and they also have obvious muscle lines, and they may look a little thin on the outside, but never doubt the strength and explosiveness contained in their muscles.

Liu Changchun is different, he is not strong, but strong, the kind of muscular male strength. Chen Qiang even felt that outstanding athletes such as Zhang Peimeng and Xie Zhenye in later generations may not be as strong as Liu Changchun.

You must know that in later generations, the materials were very abundant, the athletes ate and drank well, and there were all kinds of nutritional supplements, but in the thirties, the materials were poor, and there were not so many nutrients, and there was nothing to supplement if you wanted to supplement the nutrition.

"This is the thirties, the era of national malnutrition, but Liu Changchun can still have such a strong body, he is really a natural athlete! This physical talent is amazing. Chen Qiang sighed in his heart, he felt that if Liu Changchun was placed in the 21st century, his achievements would definitely be no less than Su Bingtian's.

Subsequently, Chen Qiang thought of himself again.

"My current body is more than one grade worse than Liu Changchun, but fortunately, I have the skills to make up for the lack of my body, and Liu Changchun is competing with an injury, so that I can have a chance to win the 100-meter championship. If Liu Changchun has the same sprinting skills as me, and even as long as he is not injured, I may not be Liu Changchun's opponent now! Looks like I'm going to have to keep training hard. ”

After seeing Liu Changchun with his own eyes, Chen Qiang has fully realized the gap between himself and Liu Changchun.

Originally, Chen Qiang was still complacent about beating the athletes all over Shanghai, but now Chen Qiang feels that he is too naïve, those athletes in the Shanghai trials are not the best athletes in China, they are at most a group of people who can get in touch with sports training in this era.

And in sports, the real powerhouses are those who are talented. Training determines the athlete's lower limit, while talent determines the athlete's upper limit.

Physical talent is precisely something that athletes cannot decide, and it depends on whether God rewards food or not.

"My physical talent wasn't very top-notch, but luckily I had a space to train. Since God didn't give me a body that was awesome enough, I could only make up for it with ten times more training and a hundred years of skill ahead! ”

……

In the 100-meter sprint preliminaries, it was finally Chen Qiang's turn to appear.

There are six competitors on the track, which is the standard of this era, and even in the final of the Olympic Games, it is a team of six.

Chen Qiang didn't know the other five people, and the other five people didn't know Chen Qiang, or the six contestants didn't know each other at all.

After all, this is not the afterlife, and the dissemination of information is not so developed. If you put it in a hundred years, you know the name of the player, and then you can search the Internet, his personal information, his achievements, and even his game video.

But in the thirties, I didn't know who you were!

The athletes come from all over the world, and some athletes have never been out of the province in their lives. Unless it is a famous general like Zhu Baozhang and Liu Changchun, it is impossible to know each other at all.

What is the strength of the opponent, what is the strength and weakness, what are the technical characteristics, these are not known, the only confidence to understand is the name of the opponent, at this time to judge the strength of the weak, can only look through the eyes, and then guess whether the opponent is strong or not.

As a result, the six competitors on the track began to look at each other and judge the strength of their opponents by their feelings.

Not only that, but the audience also judges the strength of the players in this way.

……

Before the game started, the audience started talking.

"I think the third athlete from here can run first, you see his legs are so long, he must be fast."

"Who told you you must run fast with long legs, in case it's a stupid big man? I'm optimistic about the fourth athlete. ”

"The fourth one is so thin, can he do it!"

"Thin means light weight, light weight must run fast!"

"In my opinion, the third and fourth are not as good as the second, you look at the second one, that is, sixteen or seventeen years old, he is still in middle school, he came to participate in the National Games at such a young age, there must be two brushes, I am optimistic about him!"

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old young athlete this person is talking about is Chen Qiang.

The main participants in the National Games are college students around 20 years old, and there are very few under the age of 18, so Chen Qiang, a 16-year-old boy, is also relatively conspicuous.

However, the previous audience pouted disdainfully: "The other five people may all win the first place, but not that young man." ”

"Why, do you look down on young people? In the last National Games, Zhu Baozhang was also a middle school student, and he won three championships! Maybe this young man can make a splash too! ”

"A blockbuster? You think too much, you take a closer look, he didn't even wear a spiked running shoe, but ordinary sneakers. Do you think people who don't wear running shoes with nails in their faces can run first? I think he's just here to make up the numbers! ”

……

It had already been discovered from so far away in the audience that Chen Qiang was not wearing nail running shoes, and several other competitors on the track had already discovered this.

"Wearing just a pair of regular sneakers to the sprint race, is this guy serious?"

"The 100-meter dash, not even wearing spiked shoes, it seems that this athlete didn't want to qualify at all."

"The one in sneakers must be here to make up the numbers, so don't pay attention to him when you play for a while, and keep an eye on the other four!"

"The preliminary round is really mixed, and there are all kinds of players. didn't even wear a nail running shoes before going on the field, how did the Shanghai team select such a player to participate. ”

The other five players have different ideas, but they still agree on one thing, that is, this young runner who doesn't even wear nails and running shoes must be here to play soy sauce.

……

On the podium, the dean of examiners, who had given a speech in classical Chinese in the morning, was also watching the competition. As a big man from Nanjing, he was naturally surrounded in the middle at this time, surrounded by a group of younger brothers kneeling and licking.

The dean looked at the track, and then said to the left and right: "This is the first time that our Nanjing government has held a national games, and there are still many shortcomings!" For example, the control of the contestants is not strict, so that some athletes who have no competition attitude are mixed in! ”

"Why did the dean say that?" Someone next to him immediately asked, and someone else took out a small notebook, ready to write down the words of the dean of the exam.

I saw the dean pointing to the track and said, "Look at the player of the Shanghai team, wearing these ordinary sneakers to participate in the sprint race." Even I, who is not an inappropriate athlete, know that I have to wear nail running shoes to run 100 meters, but he is an athlete, doesn't he know? ”

The dean's voice became stern, and he continued, "It's obvious that there is no competition!" It's obvious that they don't pay attention to the game! What did he think of the National Games? Is it a juggling game? Just come to the competition casually? How did this kind of athlete come to the National Games? ”

The dean calmed down for a moment and continued: "However, this phenomenon also shows that there are still many omissions in the selection of athletes in the local government!" In the future, we will introduce some detailed laws and regulations for similar sports meetings, and really select some athletes who are serious about participating in the competition, at least the attitude of participating in the competition must be correct. The National Games is not a competition with a mixed number of heads, and in the future, such black sheep must be resolutely put an end to them, and they must be blocked from the door of the National Games! ”

"The dean is right."

"That's great."

"Listening to the dean's words, it just made me feel empowered!"

"Dean, I have written down everything you said, and I will definitely organize a special study when I go back."

There was immediately a sound of flattery around him.

The examination institute is in charge of these officials, so in front of the examination dean, everyone is naturally touting and stammering with all their might, hoping to leave a good impression on the examination dean. This kind of atmosphere was very common in officialdom at that time, and many people became officials not by political achievements and ability, but by flattery and giving money to leaders.

Of course, the premise of sending money is that the leader must have a good impression of you, if the leader can't remember who you are, and there is no way to send money.

At this moment, the starting gun rang out, and the six competitors rushed out of the starting line with lightning speed.

It only took a breath for someone to stand out.

Everyone looked up and saw that the one who stood out was the one who didn't even wear nail running shoes.

At this time, there are people who continue to flattery:

"It was really deafening to listen to the dean's teachings just now, and it made me pause, this kind of athlete who doesn't have the attitude to compete, should, eh?"

The sycophant also saw the situation on the track, and immediately stopped, not knowing what to say!

The black sheep who has no attitude towards the game, does not attach importance to the game, treats the game as a vaudeville game, and comes to mix the number of heads, is now running in the first place.

And far ahead!

"What's the situation, shouldn't he be the black sheep? Shouldn't the black sheep be at the end? How did you get to one? If he runs first place, I've just said half of it, how will I take it! ”

At this moment, there was silence on the rostrum!

Everyone stared at the track and chose silence. Then I watched Chen Qiang cross the finish line first with an absolute advantage.

Twenty seconds ago, the ordinary sneakers that everyone sprayed wildly, the black sheep, who didn't pay attention to the game, treated the game as a juggler, and the bastard head, actually won the first place!

The surrounding officials all shut their mouths and swallowed all the flattery they had prepared back into their stomachs. The reality is completely different from what the dean said, and it is still developing in the opposite direction, and speaking at this time is more like mocking the leader.

The dean's face instantly became embarrassed, and his "wise instructions" were only twenty seconds handsome, and he was slapped in the face!
