Chapter 279: Sprint Fever

“…… Good evening everyone, at 18:30 tonight, the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries of the 10th National Games will begin. I know a lot of people on the TV can't wait to see the flyer Suzu who we're looking forward to tonight.

I also know that many viewers have no way to go directly to the Olympic Sports Center in Jinling to watch the games, but it doesn't matter, our TV station has joined forces with CCTV Channel 5 and Sunan Satellite TV, and will broadcast the track and field competitions of this year's National Games live in the next few days.

Now please pay attention to the men's 100m race time, the first round of heats is on October 17 at 18:30, the second round of the semi-final is on October 18 at 9 am, and the third round final is at 18:30 on the evening of October 18.

At the same time, our station will also have a prize guessing session during this period, and now our guessing question appears on the TV screen: What kind of results do you think Su Zu will run in the men's 100m final in this National Games? A. 10 seconds - 10.2 seconds; B. 9.9 seconds - 10 seconds; C. 9.8 seconds - 9.9 seconds; D. Within 9.8 seconds, now pick up your phone and edit the text message to send your predicted score option to the number at the bottom of our screen...... You will have a chance to win a ...... of exquisite gifts prepared for you"

During the day on October 17, the sports and entertainment programs of many local stations started a series of SMS quizzes about the men's 100 meters of the National Games.

In 2005, under the influence of some talent shows such as Supergirl, "Edit SMS to XXXX" was still one of the most popular interactive links launched by TV stations.

Of course, these programs are mainly based on local stations under various satellite TVs, and there are also many CCTV and satellite TV that have such attempts. It's just that at this time, the high SMS fee of 1 yuan per message has made many TV stations and operators make a lot of money.

At this time, basically as long as there is a certain degree of topicality, the classic line of "edit the content of SMS XXX and send it to XXX" is indispensable for TV stations. It's a bit like the QR code that TV stations often hang on the screen in later generations, paying attention to the official >......

"Xiao Chen, Chen Yuhang, wait a minute."

In a large conference room, all kinds of trivial voices sounded, and more than a dozen track and field team members pulled out their chairs and walked out the door together. Chen Yuhang was carrying his backpack and was about to leave the conference room when a voice suddenly stopped him.

It has just ended a meeting of the athletes of the track and field events of the Guangdong Provincial Delegation, and today is the track and field competition, and the leaders of the province once again emphasized to the athletes that they should compete in this sports meeting.

"Director Feng, what's the matter?"

Chen Yuhang put down the backpack in his hand, which contained his spikes and sportswear, the sportswear was unified by the provincial team, but the spikes were the pair he received when he entered the national team, and he accompanied him to participate in the World Championships last time, and this time he took it out again in order to participate in the National Games.

"Come on, come on, you sit down for a while." Feng Xiaofeng beckoned diligently, and let Chen Yuhang, who didn't know why, sit down again. "Did you hear the reward from the meeting?"

"The gold medal is 200,000, the silver medal is 100,000, and the bronze medal is 50,000." Chen Yuhang sat back in his seat and replied with some doubts, he had heard that the prize money given by the local government in the National Games was high, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

"Well, you're right." Feng Xiaofeng smiled and said, "However, your 100-meter event is more special, you know, there is Su Zu here." ”

Chen Yuhang nodded, he is a member of the national team's 4×100m relay team, although he is a substitute for the first base, his personal strength in the 100m is not much worse than Wen Yongyi. The only difference is that his starting reaction and acceleration are slightly slower, and he can catch up in the second half of the race.

In the current domestic sprint events, the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, with Su Zu participating, they don't want to think about the championship or anything, even the best level of veteran players Gong Wei and Gu Kai They also know that they are competing for the runner-up and third place.

"The 100-meter event must be the top priority, and the team has specially discussed, if you can enter the top eight in the final, the reward will be 100,000, and if you can enter the top three, according to the gold medals in other events, the bonus will be 200,000. There are not many sprinters in our province, you are the one selected by the national team, you must perform well this time. ”

"Huh?!" Chen Yuhang was already a little stunned when he listened. In 2005, for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, this prize money was definitely a huge attraction.

On the other side, in the imperial capital delegation, Zhang Peimeng got on the bus to the Jinling Olympic Sports Center, and along the way he was also thinking about what his former coach told him.

"You've been running 10 seconds and 30 seconds in the Grand Prix, and with a lot of effort, this result is still very promising. Let's not talk about the bonus, you also know that our Imperial Capital delegation will definitely not be worse than that.

I just hope you can think about it, you and Su Zu are training partners now, and you are a coach's subordinate, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a senior brother. It's not good for you to be overwhelmed by other veteran players in this National Games, right? Still want to shine! I have always been optimistic about you when I brought you to the team, and now that you have entered the national team, you are also a seed that has been focused on cultivating.

The last time you went to participate in the Grand Prix, there was a lot of gossip in private, Gu Kai and Gong Wei are all at a higher level than you, they couldn't go to you, can they balance their hearts one by one?! Run well at the National Games and show it to others! ”

At the same time, the sprinters of other local teams have also learned about the rewards given by their respective delegations, some of which are for household registration and some are for garages. But there is no doubt that the most popular men's sprint event has become the focus of many people's attention.

Driven by Su Zu's achievements in sprinting events in the past two years, the current domestic sprinting fever can be said to be more than ever.

Gong Wei, Jing Ke, Huang Guibing, Gu Kai The most powerful older generation of men's sprinters since Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao, Zhang Peimeng, Chen Yuhang, Dai Shengming, Wen Yongyi, Lin Zhenyao and other newcomers who were selected into the national relay team and began to emerge, all focused on the runner-up and third runner-up.

……

The Jinling Olympic Sports Center was approved in May 2001 and was officially completed in May 2005 after four years.

The Olympic Sports Center is mainly composed of the main stadium, warm-up field, gymnasium (space capsule-shaped), swimming pool (conch-shaped), press center (mast-shaped), tennis center (lotus petal), baseball field, softball field, as well as traffic engineering, environmental landscape, energy center and other supporting projects, and sports park.

On the evening of October 17, the stadium of the Jinling Olympic Sports Center was full of people, and the 63,000 spectator seats in the stadium were full for the first time after the previous events such as football and shooting.

The National Games has always been the number one sporting event in China, and it is much more important than many international large-scale events in the eyes of many athletes. However, the domestic sports system has led to a relatively closed competitive sports circle, and in many cases, the warm atmosphere of the National Games is basically stirred up by local governments at all levels and the media. Ordinary people don't pay much attention to the National Games, and there are really not many people who are willing to pay for tickets to watch the games.

This National Games was significantly more enthusiastic than the previous editions, at least on the first day of athletics, the entire stadium was packed.

On the one hand, there is the foundation laid by the Olympic publicity, and on the other hand, it is also inextricably linked to the achievements of track and field events.

In another time and space, the situation is similar to now, the games with Liu Yangyu are basically full, and many spectators who don't know much about the 110-meter hurdles are willing to spend money to support. And after Liu Yangyu gradually faded out, the fiery atmosphere of track and field gradually receded.

And this time, not only Liu Yangyu, but also Su Zu, and even the men's relay event have won Olympic gold medals, and the popularity of track and field is even more than ever.

At 18:30 in the evening, the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries, which was most anticipated by the audience, kicked off.
