Helsinki, 12 Nov -- In the men's 50-kilometer race walk at the World Championships, which began this morning, only one of the three Chinese athletes who had high hopes completed the race. In the end, he finished fifth in 3 hours, 44 minutes and 45 seconds. The title was taken away by Russia's Kildyapkin with a time of 3:38:08. Previously, Chinese athletes missed one after another in the men's and women's 20km race walks, finishing only two ninths, far from expectations......"

"The infighting in the U.S. team may have affected its team relay events: in the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries staged yesterday, the U.S. team sent a lineup different from the men's 1200m athlete David at the World Championships. Morris Green, who was on the fourth bat, could only hide his face and sigh.

The Chinese men's 4×100m relay team finally won the group promotion place by virtue of Su Zu's super sprinting ability of the fourth baton......"

Yuan Guohua, head coach of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team, said: The newcomer's debut on an international stage such as the World Championships is not bad, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Su Zu played steadily and was the key figure in the relay team's ability to advance. ”

Helsinki (Evening News) -- At 1:50 a.m. Beijing time today, the 10th World Athletics Championships concluded the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles in Helsinki, Finland. As a result, the championship was taken away by the French star Docuri in 13.07 seconds, while Liu Yangyu was relegated to second place by a narrow margin of 0.01 seconds, which is the third medal won by the Chinese track and field delegation at this World Championships so far. American veteran Alan Johnson was third in 13.10 seconds. ”

……

The competition ended on August 12, but the news of the World Championships in Helsinki still came back to China through various channels.

Some watched the game directly at night, and some saw the latest news through newspapers and TV news the next day, and many people focused on the promotion of the men's 4×100 relay and Liu Yangyu's missed the 110-meter hurdles championship by 0.01 seconds.

On August 13, today is the eighth day of the World Championships, and tomorrow is the last day of competition, and the 10th World Athletics Championships has come to an end.

So far, the Chinese team has only had the last three games tonight, the men's 4×100m relay final, the women's 400m hurdles final, and the women's 5000m final.

On the sidelines of the track and field field at the Helsinki Athletes' Village, Feng Shuyong, the leader of the World Championships and the head coach of the track and field team, Li Zhizhong and Sun Pingjiang, deputy head coaches of the relay team, and Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team, all gathered together to watch the relay men's team train to hand over the baton.

Tonight is the men's 4×100m relay final, which is already grinding guns, but the boys of the relay team are still full of energy, even if the substitutes do not have the opportunity to play, they have not slackened at all.

Feng Shuyong looked at this scene, sighed helplessly, and said to Yuan Guohua next to him: "Old Yuan, my Coach Yuan, you are really prescient!" ”

"Director Feng, what did I say at the beginning?"

Yuan Guohua smiled lightly, the relay team was able to break into the finals, and the mountain that had been pressing on him for days finally moved away, even if the final results were not good, but looking at the young men in the track and field, I also knew that they were completely going all out, and there was nothing more to blame.

"This World Championships, it's really thanks to Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, otherwise it's ......" Feng Shuyong shook his head, and glanced at Li Zhizhong and Sun Pingjiang behind him with a wry smile, and there was an unspeakable meaning in his words.

Otherwise, the Chinese team will hardly be able to watch this World Championships.

"A blank sheet of paper is easy to draw." Yuan Guohua looked at the sweaty relay players on the field and sighed lightly, "The local team is too closely involved, it's trouble." ”

"There are still two months left in the National Games, you can talk about these people!" Li Zhizhong also sighed, he had heard the topic of the supremacy of the whole game before, but it was really after entering the national team that he found that the problem was much more serious than he thought.

In this World Championships, today is the eighth day, in addition to Su Zu's 100m and 200m gold medals, there is only Liu Yangyu's 110m hurdles silver medal. Other projects, for nothing.

The problem is really that the strength is not good, and the skills are not as good as others?

Not necessarily.

Several of them are the head coaches of the track and field team, and the athletes' state level is well known. This World Championships has reached this point, in fact, it is the domestic track and field world that has been criticized by public opinion for many years, "the National Games override the World Championships".

The Chinese track and field athletes participating in this World Championships represent the highest level of domestic track and field events, and with the results they have created in domestic competitions, many people can enter the top 8 of the World Championships and even impact medals.

However, many people played abnormally, those who could impact the medals missed the medals, those who could get the rankings fell out of the top 8, and some players with good results were defeated in the first round of the competition.

There are many reasons for this, but if you want to say that the participating athletes have done their best, it is really the old rivers and lakes of these track and field teams.

"What's the use of two months." Feng Shuyong shook his head: "In the eyes of some people, the National Games are very important to them, they can't do it in the World Championships, and they are powerful in China." Hehe, I've heard that before some athletes go abroad, the leaders of the provincial team tell them to take it easy and don't get hurt. ”

This is also when Yuan Guohua first selected the members of the relay team, especially asked some potential and just emerging players, and directly got them to the national team, in a certain way, that is, to eliminate some problems in this regard.

At the beginning of the preparation of this relay team, Yuan Guohua can be said to have resisted a lot of pressure, after Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong, there are many veteran players, and their strength is good, but Yuan Guohua did not select these people in, but he expected that such a situation would happen.

The game between the national team and the local team has never stopped, and in the eyes of the local sports department, the results of the National Games are political achievements. A gold medal means an official hat and a generous bonus. The gold medal has completely mutated into a baton, no longer focusing on how to cultivate talents, but how to take "shortcuts" to get a good ranking.

This year is the National Games, and some of the athletes did not include the World Championships in their training plans, so they were not in shape when they arrived in Helsinki, and they were aiming for the National Games after the World Championships.

It's a little strange to say, even funny, but in fact, this is really the case in the domestic track and field world and even in the entire sports world.

In 2013, the first sister of the women's basketball team complained on Weibo that when you can get results for a certain place, he will try his best to let all the leaders come forward to speak. When you can't fight, no one pays attention to you.

There are also Chinese women's football teams, almost all of which rely entirely on the National Games to survive.

From the perspective of input and output, what is better than fighting hard at the World Championships?

The almost pathological importance of the National Games rankings in various provinces and cities and the heavy rewards for the champions compared with each other have made many athletes really give up on international competitions and focus on the domestic National Games.

Coaches like Feng Shuyong can almost foresee that some athletes who are in a sluggish state in the World Championships this time may have a high level of performance at the National 10th National Games held in October.

In some ways, the National Games seem to cover all the rules of operation of Chinese sports.

Whether it is Feng Shuyong, Yuan Guohua, Li Zhizhong and others, they can see it from this perspective.

Perhaps except for football, which has the most thorough degree of marketization, and table tennis, which has the highest concentration of national teams, almost every other sports in China must rely on the local investment of the National Games to complete the cultivation and training of newcomers.

The biggest investment in China's sports is not the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, but local governments and local sports bureaus at all levels, which bear the task of excavating and cultivating talents.
