Can a person stand up and face life again after fading his glory and returning to the ordinary?

Maybe there is a tile to cover the head, there is a simple thing to do, and people will miss it a little......

Maybe you will still feel sorry for yourself and pity yourself repeatedly, but it will not work.

Life goes on, who knows?

"2003 was a crucial year for China's competitive sports to prepare for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, with more than 100 international and domestic events related to the Olympic Games. Today, our athletes will frequently participate in various events such as Olympic qualifiers and points competitions, strive to obtain more Olympic qualifications, and actively train for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Although some competitions were cancelled or could not be participated in due to the impact of SARS, after the hard work of all athletes and coaches, I believe that ......"

Li Zhizhong sat in a remote corner at the back of the venue, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand, and was conscientiously recording the spirit conveyed by a "meeting on the planning and mobilization of the Olympic Games and the focus of the annual work" held by the General Administration and the Tian Guan.

As a new coach from the local government, as soon as he took office, he was invited to attend by name, which was valued, learned the spirit, and clarified the work idea.

"Coach Lee."

It was nearly noon, and as soon as the meeting ended, Li Zhizhong turned around and was about to leave the venue, when he suddenly heard a voice stop him.

"How's it going, are you still used to it these days?" Yu Liwei walked over from the front of the venue with a bright smile.

"Director Yu." Li Zhizhong greeted with a smile, "It's good, all aspects of the center's arrangements are quite proper, I've been in the place for a long time, and I need to study hard." ”

Yu Liwei is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team, and like Feng Shuyong, in addition to the coaching title, he also presides over the work of the track and field center department, and is also the deputy director of the training committee of the athletics association.

"Okay, Lao Li, let's not come to this tune." Yu Liwei raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's noon, let's go, I haven't been able to receive you for a few days, while it's noon, I'll invite you to a working meal, let's have a good chat." ”

"That's not to be true. I should ask you to go back. ”

"Let's go, let's go, stop talking that nonsense." Yu Liwei pushed Li Zhizhong's shoulder, and the two walked out of the conference room together.

In a small private room with a partition in the cafeteria on the second floor.

"Lao Li, that's the case, you've been here for a few days, and the work arrangement has basically been finalized." Yu Liwei took a bite of food and said slowly.

"Well, it's the same as what I did with you before, hey, what kind of look you have, I won't lie to you. He is also the head coach of Suzu. ”

"Head Coach?" Li Zhizhong was full of surprise when he heard this, Su Zu's current head coach is Lu Jianming, and he was transferred this time, and he also started his work as Lu Jianming's deputy.

Yu Liwei nodded, "You are a capable person, you have been in the place for so many years, and you should have such an opportunity." Lao Lu had discussed this with me before, and he felt that he was getting older, and some ideas couldn't keep up, and the pressure was quite high. Lao Lu's health has not been very good in recent years, and he will definitely not be able to bear the competition at home and abroad in the next few years. I'll give you a glimpse of this matter first, you know it in your heart, and you will work well in the next few months. ”

"This is certain, Coach Lu is a senior." Li Zhizhong was still digesting the news, but he was still very polite.

"So, work hard, you know the situation in the next few years, everyone is under a lot of pressure, especially on the men's team, now one person can support the façade, and a few more benchmarks have to be erected."

Li Zhizhong nodded, he has been up and down for half his life, and naturally knows that the next few years will be challenges and opportunities, both for athletes and coaches.

……

April 5, Greentown, Guizhou Province.

The location of the first stop of the National Track and Field Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be Yangcheng, Guangdong Province on April 5, but due to today's restructuring, the preparation of the two stations was poor, and Yangcheng was changed to the second stop on April 8.

This year's Grand Prix competition schedule is April 5 in Nanning, April 8 in Guangzhou, May 15 in Jinan, May 18 in Tianjin, and the finals in Zhangjiagang on June 14-15.

It has been 7 years since the Chinese Athletics Association launched this event, and since the second half of last year, the Chinese Athletics Association has been brewing reform measures and adopted a reform plan at the beginning of this year. Fewer events, smaller numbers and higher prize money have resulted in the new Grand Prix being reduced from 37 to 18 today. The number of participants has also been reduced from more than 600 in the past to 148.

The schedule is more compact, except for the finals, the sub-stations are all one race per day.

After arriving in Greentown, Su Zu found that in the men's 100-meter event, Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong and others, who basically had no good players to compete with, did not come at all.

They had already arrived in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, but after changing the site this time, they waited directly in Yangcheng for the second leg of the Grand Prix. On the contrary, it was players like him and Liu Yangyu who flew straight later to Greentown to participate in the first leg of the competition.

Although it is a pity that Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong and others did not come to participate, but this is also a normal situation, in fact, although everyone is in the same team now, the coaches in private official matches are actually very rare, only once or twice occasionally.

This is also the case between top players with similar strength and competition, especially in a team, where the usual training can be together, but the results of the competition test will not be arranged together.

The king does not see the king.

The head coach of several athletes has almost reached a tacit understanding, this kind of strength competition and competition, it is best to appear in the big competition, in private, if the team games are too frequent, it is easy to affect the performance of the real game, dampen the enthusiasm and sharpness of the athletes, and can not break out better results with each other.

For Su Zu, it is a pity that there are no players of similar strength to compete, but it is a windfall that the prize money of each sub-station and the finals of this Grand Prix has been increased.

It just so happens that his pocket is empty now, and the prize money for being able to win a sub-station is quite considerable.

The top three prizes of the new Grand Prix are 50,000, 30,000 and 20,000 RMB respectively. In addition, the finals will have a prize of 80,000 yuan, and only the champions of the four competitions and the finals will be eligible to share this prize money.

100m preliminaries in the morning and 100m finals in the afternoon. Due to the small number of participants, there were only two groups of fifteen players in the preliminaries, and Su Zu easily ran into the finals.

In the 100-meter final in the afternoon, Su Zu finally won the championship with a time of 10.29 seconds.

"Keep working hard, you're getting closer to your goal of participating in the World Championships."

After the game, Lu Jianming was quite satisfied with Su Zu's results, Su Zu's state has been steadily improving after the winter training, and he was able to run into 10.30 seconds without a strong opponent, which is a very good progress.

"Coach, you haven't said anything about your qualifying results for the World Championships when I asked you before?" Su Zu remembered the last time he asked Lu Jianming about the criteria for participating in the World Championships, and asked Lu Jianming.

"The standard of the men's 100m at the World Athletics Championships in August this year is the same as that of the Athens Olympics next year, the A standard is 10.21 seconds, and the B standard is 10.28 seconds.

"I'm not in a hurry to talk about the Olympics, but there is only one place for the World Championships B standard, and the only major domestic event in the past is this National Track and Field Grand Prix. Well, I'm talking about it in the first place, if it's just a B standard, it's not so safe. There is also the Olympics next year, if you want to compete, it is best to be able to run to the A standard. Lu Jianming pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Su Zu understood at once, now he and Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, these athletes have the opportunity to run into the World Championships B standard, that is, 10 seconds 28 seconds, if only one person runs into the B standard, then of course whoever runs in will participate, but if there are two or three people who run into this result, then who should go?

You said that you ran 10.26 seconds this time, another person ran 10.27 seconds, and another ran 10.28 seconds twice, and the difference between the three people is 0.01 seconds and 0.02 seconds, is there a big difference? At least some people don't.

Veteran players, new players, coaches, age, competitive status, honors, internal relationships, background, etc., will become the basis for consideration when several athletes have reached the B standard but only one place can participate.

These are very realistic situations, Su Zu can also put himself in the right position, after all, he is not at the peak of his competitive state in the eyes of many people due to his age on the one hand, and he is young, so he can naturally wait for two years. On the other hand, because there are no major tournament honors, if a few athletes run in the B standard, he does not think he can compete with several other athletes.

This situation is still in this year's World Championships, and if it comes to next year's Olympic Games, everyone is still in such an embarrassing situation, and it is estimated that such things will happen by then.
