On March 6, the Imperial Capital Bayi Team Athletics Hall.

"Lao Li, it's hard work. I made a special trip to let you run, just to let you help see the seedlings. ”

In the audience of the track and field hall, Yu Liwei pointed to the upcoming competition in the indoor hall with a bright smile, "Shen Yunbao has retired, Chen Jian is injured, and I estimate that he may have to leave the team this year." We finally won the men's 4×100m championship, why can't we just break up like this. ”

"It's time for new blood." Li Zhizhong nodded, "This championship is not easy to come by, we have achieved results, and we have taken on more responsibilities." ”

"That's what I said." Yu Liwei habitually pinched the two fingers of the cigarette, "The people of the whole country are watching." ”

The new head of the General Bureau has taken office, and Li Zhizhong and Sun Pingjiang have also been successfully promoted to deputy head coaches of the track and field team. In the track and field team, Lao Li and Yu Liwei are now considered equal, but Yu Liwei is also the director of the State Management Department of the Athletics Management Center.

The gold medal in the men's relay at the Athens Olympics was hard-won, which was the heaviest gold medal in China's track and field events, which not only showed team cooperation, but also represented full individual strength, and finally led the United States team and Britain obviously, which cannot be said to be a fluke.

From the General Administration to the Athletics Management Center, stimulated by this gold medal, the importance of the men's sprint event is not at the same level as before. The men's 4×100m relay is a sport that has been completely monopolized by the Western world for many years, and now his champion is the Chinese team. This is a world-renowned heavyweight champion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will enhance the national self-confidence and pride of the Chinese people.

"Do you see the right one?"

The two sat down in the audience, and Li Zhizhong glanced at the indoor track and field hall, where the women's 60-meter preliminaries had just been held.

Today is the last stop of the 2005 National Indoor Track and Field Championships, since Yu Liwei has invited Li Zhizhong over, he has already found a suitable candidate, but he still wants him to palm.

"There is a young man from Guangdong Province, in front of the indoor race Modu Station and Jinmen Station, both 60 meters are champions, and the results are also good."

Yu Liwei said with a smile, at this year's National Indoor Track and Field Championships, Shen Yunbao retired, Chen Jian recovered from injury, Yang Guangzong went abroad for closed training, Su Zu needless to say, one is to train, and there are also some commercial activities. Both the track and field team and the athletics center felt that there was no need for him to participate in this level of competition.

"Two 60m winners? What are the grades? ”

Li Zhizhong was still a little surprised when he heard it, before Su Zu was born, the competition in the National Indoor Track and Field Championships was still quite fierce, although Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao's strength in 60 meters was the first sequence, but there were Yin Hangchao and He Jun and others, and even Yang Guangzong, who was good at 200 meters, could occasionally win the 60-meter championship, and it was rare for a few people to win the championship in a row.

"This kid is not very old, 84 years. The 60-meter meter at Modu Station is 6.67 seconds, and the Jinmen Station is 6.74 seconds. Yu Liwei is obviously already interested, just like when he went to observe Su Zu, there are good seedlings that will definitely not be easily missed.

"That's not a bad result." Li Zhizhong bowed slightly, "You can focus on observation later." ”

Li Zhizhong also understands that a character like Su Zu must not appear casually, according to the general theory, it takes six years to train an excellent sprinter, and Su Zu only took three years, which has already shocked many people's eyes. All sorts of gifted titles have shamelessly put on his head.

On the field, Wen Yongyi stood on the starting line, and he was also a little nervous.

As early as before today's game started, his coach Huang Wei had already told him that there would be heavyweights of the national track and field team to watch his game today, try to play well, and have a chance to enter the national team.

Needless to say, being able to enter the national team is so attractive to a young track and field athlete, especially after the Athens Olympics, the track and field team's huge results of 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, and the huge breakthrough in the sprint event is simply brilliant.

At his age, if he is lucky enough to be in the national team, train well and improve his level, he will have a great chance to participate in the Olympic Games in '08.

"Ready!"

In the midst of Wen Yongyi's ups and downs, the starters on the sidelines had already begun to shout the ready password.

Wen Yongyi gritted his teeth, walked onto the starting gear, looked at the finish line 60 meters away, and his expression gradually became firm.

A gunshot rang out!

"Huh?!"

With Wen Yongyi's start, Li Zhizhong's eyes lit up, he has practiced his coaching philosophy in recent years, and he has also absorbed a lot of other coaches' points, and his coaching level is also improving.

This Wen Yongyi ran together, and Li Zhizhong saw a clue.

Wen Yongyi's height is not high, only about 170, but the starting reaction and acceleration are very fast. The style is more similar to the previous Shen Yunbao, who is a good player at the start and the first half.

The sound of fast footsteps swept across the runway, and the distance of 60 meters was approaching in a blink of an eye, and the timing board next to the finish line came out.

"6.61 seconds!" Yu Liwei laughed when he looked at the results, and turned his head to look at Li Zhizhong, "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”

"It's quite potential." Li Zhizhong nodded, "I have also discussed with Coach Yuan Guohua before, after Shen Yunbao retires, the third baton needs a player with a fast start and fast acceleration to replenish it." ”

"That's good, it's not a long time, you have to pay attention to the new faces."

Yu Liwei looked at the young faces on the finish line of the runway, and nodded the same, 2008 is not far away.

……

Xinzhuang training base.

Zhang Pingqiu stood next to the runway, chatting quietly with Jiang Daheng, who was in charge of physiotherapy.

"Lao Jiang, your belly seems to have gone down a little."

"Hey, I originally thought that I could relax by doing physiotherapy for Su Zu alone, who thought that he would be busier than before." Jiang Daheng patted his belly like a ball, "No, it's five or six pounds in more than a month." ”

"Hahaha, I think you have to go down to fifty or sixty pounds to get by."

Zhang Pingqiu laughed, although Su Zu's scientific research team was established last year, he soon went abroad to IMG Academy for training, and the time to really take up his post was after the Spring Festival this year.

"Speaking of which, there are few lucky people who can win the championship." Jiang Daheng looked at the track and field, Su Zu was training group after group according to the training plan, and he didn't need to be supervised at all, he had a consciousness from the heart.

After he took up his post as a full-time physiotherapist, the number of muscle relaxation physiotherapy sessions he did almost a day has increased significantly compared to before. Before each workout, take 30 minutes. He said that the workload has gone up, and it's not entirely a lie.

"Yes, as the old saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years off the stage, and athletes are not the same. Winning a championship is much more effort than most people think. ”

Zhang Pingqiu also sighed a little, although he knew Su Zu for a long time, but it was not until he became a teaching assistant now and had a lot of time to get along with each other that he discovered a lot of things that he had not known before.

Such a glorious achievement has been achieved, and if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not know what it would have swelled into now. Su Zu really can endure loneliness, like an ascetic.

Zhang Pingqiu felt sincerely admired, the most terrible thing is not a talented person, not a hard-working person, but a talented and hard-working person.

"By the way, Lao Jiang, don't complain that you often can't leave. Hey, the benefits are coming, too. In a few months, Su Zu will start to participate in the IAAF competition, and when the world turns, it will be enough for you to be swayed. ”

"Hey, this is a good feeling. I didn't expect that I would also have a brilliant day in public office. ”

Jiang Daheng's eyes narrowed into a line and he was happy. Suddenly, I saw someone on the other side of the track and field, "Alas, isn't that Coach Lu?" ”

"Huh?" After Zhang Pingqiu heard this, he turned around and looked in the direction of Jiang Daheng's finger, and saw a middle-aged man walking over with a tall and thin teenager.

"Coach Lu, it's been a long time." Zhang Pingqiu greeted.

"It's been a while." Lu Qing replied with a smile, then turned his head to look at Su Zu who was training on the track and field, and asked, "Alas, Xiao Zhang, is Coach Li Zhizhong not here?" ”

Lu Qing is also a veteran coach in the track and field team, and Zhang Pingqiu used to be an assistant to Yu Liwei, and he didn't deal with him less, so he was quite familiar.

"Coach Li has gone to the imperial capital, isn't there an indoor championship over there, he and Director Yu will see if there are any new good seedlings to add."

"Oh, that's a missed one." Lu Qing slapped his thigh, a little annoyed, and then smiled, "I, the imperial capital came over just now." ”

"Coach Lu, what are you?" Zhang Pingqiu looked at Lu Qing and asked with a smile.

Lu Qing laughed and patted the shoulder of the young man next to him, "This is Zhang Peimeng, who joined our imperial capital track and field team last year, and his talent is not bad, no, I will bring it over for everyone to familiarize myself with." ”

Zhang Pingqiu glanced at the young man named Zhang Peimeng who was standing beside Lu Qing. The height is not low, he looks similar to Su Zu, but he is a little thin, seeing Zhang Pingqiu looking at him, he looks a little shy, and his eyes glance at Su Zu who is training on the track and field from time to time.

"This is a new member!" Zhang Pingqiu raised his neck and shouted at the track and field, "Su Zu, come here and meet your new teammates!" ”
