"Su Zu!"

A few days later, in the gym of the training base, Su Zu was being protected by Zhang Pingqiu, conducting big strength training.

Outside the gym door, Yang Guangzong was wearing a white tracksuit, still thin, but his spirit seemed to be a little better, and he greeted Su Zu with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" Su Zu put down his equipment, got up and greeted Yang Guangzong.

In the past few days, the men's 4×100m relay training has gradually begun, and the relay team head coach Yuan Guohua is still in charge and has begun to train for the relay.

Because they are all new team members, and there are more of them than before, it is mainly the new relay team members who are practicing the baton handover technique. In addition to training the relay with everyone in the morning, Su Zu also had to conduct special strength training in the afternoon.

Except for Yang Guangzong's face leaking on the first day, he didn't see him appear at the Xinzhuang training base much later.

"I have something to talk to you about." Yang Guangzong smiled.

Although he had a pneumothorax, although it was not publicized, it was impossible for a relay team coach like Yuan Guohua not to know about it. Coaches are basically well aware of any injuries and illnesses of athletes, and they don't stay at the training base for a long time these days, mainly to recuperate at home.

"Okay." Su Zu grabbed the dry towel next to him and wiped the sweat, and went out of the gym directly with Yang Guangzong.

"I heard that you and the team mentioned that you need a training partner?"

The two of them didn't leave the training base, they just walked around the boulevard next to the track and field, and the two walked for a while, and Yang Guangzong suddenly spoke.

"yes, yes." Su Zu nodded, "I went to foreign competitions and saw that many athletes were training partners and were able to promote each other, and now I feel that my improvement speed has slowed down." ”

After Su Zu proposed the need to train his partner, Yu Liwei reacted quickly, and soon circled candidates and interviewed other coaches through various networks.

He is now a member of Su Zu's scientific research team, and his position and ability in the national track and field team and the track and field management center for many years are not too easy to deal with. After a morning meeting, things were naturally decided to be implemented.

Whether it's track and field, swimming and diving, or other events, it's commonplace for higher-level athletes to train together, improve each other, and improve each other.

It's just that in China and not abroad, it has always been mainly coaches. This time it's just formalizing the name.

As for those who have opinions, there will naturally be solutions.

Moreover, even if he doesn't mention Su Zuti's training partner, it is actually a topic that Yu Liwei, Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua and others have often discussed recently.

It's a good way to train with high-level athletes to drive the rest of the team to improve.

"Really?!" Yang Guangzong showed a playful smile on his face, and then sighed softly, "I may not be your training partner anymore." ”

"What's wrong?" Su Zu frowned slightly, "Coach Liu refuses to let go?" ”

Yang Guangzong is naturally Su Zu's first training partner, the two are teammates in the relay race, they have known each other since Su Zu entered the national team, they are familiar with each other, train together, compete together, and win glory for the country. And in the current 200 meters in China, Yang Guangzong is also the only athlete who can run within 20.60 seconds except Su Zu. There is no better person than him.

"Coach Liu Renjia has returned to the local team." Yang Guangzong shook his head slightly.

"Why is that?" These words made Su Zu even more confused.

"The coach asked me to switch to running 400 meters, and I agreed."

"You agree?" Su Zu glanced at Yang Guangzong in surprise, in his understanding, it should not be Yang Guangzong's own idea to run 400 meters in the project.

"I won the 200m at the National Championships when I was 19 years old, and I thought I would be able to run all the 200m and 100m, and I would be able to run the results. However, then there was Liu Yangyu first, and then there was you. I just realized that I am still far behind you. ”

Yang Guangzong looked at the top of the boulevard, and the sun was blazing on a June afternoon, and it was spilled down like broken gold by the tall and lush branches and leaves.

This made Su Zu a little helpless, but he could probably understand it. Yang Guangzong also became famous at a young age, in 1999 he won the men's 200m championship at the national championships at the age of 19, and he is a figure like the pride of the sky. At that time, many track and field coaches bluntly said that Yang Guangzong was the future of domestic sprinting in the future.

At that time, Liu Yangyu, who was also from the magic capital, had just been selected and had not yet entered the national team. And compared with the 110-meter hurdles, it is undoubtedly that the men's 1200 meters have received more attention, but with Liu Yangyu's performance improving step by step. Especially in the Asian Games, Liu Yangyu won the men's 110-meter hurdles championship, while Yang Guangzong was only the third place in the men's 200-meter hurdles, and gradually felt the pressure.

In the later period, Su Zu rose, and everyone was still in the same project, not to mention, it was an impact on the previous domestic sprinters.

"I thought a lot about it in the United States this time, and Coach Hart had already had an argument with Coach Liu before I had a pneumothorax, and the intensity was too high, and there was a problem with the training method. Coach Hart, you know what? ”

Yang Guangzong asked Su Zu, saw Su Zu shake his head, and then said, "Coach Hart is a very good old coach, well, that is, Michael Johnson's coach. He discussed with me that I was very tall and in shape, and that it would have been better if I had started with 400 meters. I lacked strength and cadence in both the 100m and 200m, which is a congenital limitation and is difficult to compensate. But speed, endurance and a relatively low weight helped me to perform in the 400m. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guangzong suddenly laughed, "You don't know, I've been practicing for two months, and I've been able to reach about 46 seconds, and my specialty is suitable for this." I also love running the 400m and he makes up for some of my weaknesses.

I also know what Coach Liu is thinking, and I also want to produce results myself. When I was a teenager in a junior sports school, he was the first to dig me out and train me. Later, he recommended it to Coach Gu, followed him to practice sprinting for two years, and returned to Coach Liu to train again. After all these years, I still don't know who he is, and in the final analysis, I am too anxious. ”

"And what's next for you?" Su Zu listened to Yang Guangzong's words, and gradually sorted out the context.

Yang Guangzong's pneumothorax must be a matter of Liu Renjia's training plan and intensity, but Yang Guangzong himself has this idea when he switches to the 400m.

In the face of a 1,200 athlete with no way out, he wants to find a more suitable way for himself.

"We are brothers, and I miss the days when we trained together and stood on the podium together." Yang Guangzong gently patted Su Zu's shoulder, "I, Shen Yunbao, Chen Jian, and the rest of the team all know very well that the relay team was able to win the gold medal because of you." As long as you're there, the relay team's results are no worse. So, I won't run relays and 200 meters from now on. ”

"I've been in touch and the team has agreed that I will go to the United States again to train with Coach Hart. I'm going to run the 400 meters, and I'm going to do it. ”

"It's decided?"

"It's decided."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets!"

Su Zu laughed, stretched out his right hand, and touched Yang Guangzong's fist.

"Come on!"
