"Pick up ......"

In the stadium, between Wang Ben and Yin Hanzhao, the baton is being handed over in training.

There are not many people in the stadium, except for Zhang Ben and Coach Yuan Guohua, there are only three athletes. The personnel of the relay competition have been decided, the first baton Chen Haijian, the second baton Li Tai, the third baton Yin Hanzhao, and the fourth baton is Wang Ben.

Today is the men's 200-meter preliminaries, and Zhang Ben, as the head coach of the sprint training group, did not follow. One is that he is only the interim head coach now, and he is only in charge of relay training...

200-meter athletes have their own coaches, and if Zhang Ben goes with him, there is a suspicion of overstepping the line, or during the Asian Games.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ben stayed here to train three baton athletes.

The three of them have no other competitions, and their speed is okay, and after simple training every day, they are tacit training with each other.

They are the main force of the national team, and they don't need to be deliberately reminded by Zhang Ben, they are also very active in training.

"What kind of results do we think we will get in today's 800-meter race?"

Li Liang was originally a disciple of Zhang Ben, and today is the final of the men's 800m race. Therefore, Yuan Guohua thought that Zhang Ben would go to the game site to watch the game.

"In this Asian Games, 800 meters is a bit hanging..."

Li Liang is the domestic 800m record holder, without Zhang Ben's blessing, Li Liang's speed is not particularly affected, compared with other Asian countries...

Coach Yuan Guohua sighed slightly, in this kind of strength and speed competition, the achievements of Chinese athletes are far inferior to technical sports.

"Among the 800m runners, although I didn't watch the competition, according to the athlete's information, Saudi Arabia's naturalized athlete Sharanch, a player from Ethiopia, has a good speed, if nothing else, the championship is his..."

Ethiopian players have amazing endurance in the world. In international competitions, especially long-distance races, Ethiopian runners have never lost gold medals...

Coach Yuan Guohua knows this country, this country is mountainous, the country is relatively backward economically, and the transportation is inconvenient. It is caused by the people of this country, environmental factors, and this people have an amazing lung capacity.

According to a number of international organizations, Ethiopians have a much higher lung capacity than other countries, and their endurance is excellent...

"The second is the Nigerian naturalized player from Qatar, and the runner-up is his..."

Zhang Ben's face turned strange: "That Afghan athlete is very fast, if he plays normally, he can hit the silver medal... As for Li Liang, it would be nice to be able to run into the top five..."

In the domestic 800 meters in the world, it is rare to run excellent results. Li Liang's results are very good, but compared with the international standard, they are still a little worse.

You can't be too modest, and you can't deceive yourself.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the athletes who participated in the competition returned, and the results of the 800-meter race were strikingly similar to what Zhang Ben expected......

Saudi Arabia's naturalized players won the championship, Afghanistan's players played well and won the silver medal, and Qatar's players won the bronze medal. The Japanese players finished fourth, and Li Liang only won the fifth place...

The 200m runners have already qualified for the finals... Now it has gone to other stadiums for pre-match training.

............

In the next few days, Zhang Ben has been paying attention to the competitions of other events and did not go to the competition site.

On October 10, in the men's 200-meter race, Li Tai only won the bronze medal, and the Japanese players won the championship and second place... This point is not much different from Zhang Ben's previous prediction...

Oct. 13th, 8:30 a.m....

As the race draws to a close, the men's 4x100m race starts today.

In the Asian Athletics Competition, the men's relay competition directly selects the top eight relay teams in the Asian relay rankings and directly enters the finals. In the world's track and field competitions, relay team competitions will directly take the world's top 16 relay teams, and directly enter the finals after participating in the preliminaries...

In the warm-up area, Zhang Ben has been looking at the relay teams of other countries.

Frowning slightly, Zhang Ben was a little surprised: "Which team is this, and they are all naturalized players?" ”

In front of Zhang Ben, several figures flickered. The skin is dark and shiny, and only the back is left in the blink of an eye. Zhang Ben didn't have time to look at the national flag on their chests.

Zhang Ben had to sigh that now in international competitions, there are more and more naturalized players.

In fact, Zhang Ben is not very optimistic about naturalized players. Especially the naturalized players of the local tyrant countries in West Asia are actually of average level. It's okay in Asia, and you can still achieve some results, but in the world athletics competitions, it's not enough.

Generally, the naturalized players with strength will choose Europe, not West Asia.

"This is the Thai team!"

Yu Wei said with a smile: "If the skin is dark, it may not be a black race, but in the strict sense, Thai people still belong to the yellow race......

opened his mouth, Zhang Ben was a little embarrassed, in fact, in Southeast Asian countries, there are many people who are like black people, and their skin is not much different from black people.

The Thai team Zhang Ben still has some understanding, and in the Asian region, the three countries with the strongest relay teams are China, Japan and the Thai team......

The athletes of the Thai team are a little lacking in height and not necessarily fast, but they are too tacit in cooperation between the athletes. In many competitions, the Thai team is the strongest opponent of the Chinese relay team, and has also won the gold medal many times over the Chinese relay team and the Japanese relay team......

"I have Ethiopian ethnic ancestry, I don't look tall, my skin is so dark, I thought I was a naturalized player..."

Zhang Ben smiled slightly, and quickly alleviated the embarrassment: "Not to mention, maybe they have some similar blood to Ethiopia, and their speed and endurance are good... The Thai team is worth paying attention to and is an opponent. ”

Yu Wei was a little surprised, this was the first time that Zhang Ben had already listed athletes from other countries as opponents before the competition: "The Thai team is so tough? ”

Zhang Ben smiled and said nothing, if it weren't for his appearance, the men's relay of this Asian Games, the final champion was really the Thai team... And the Chinese team, for various reasons, did not participate at all.

"However, don't worry, our country's relay team will definitely run a good result..."

Zhang Ben is full of confidence in this point: "No national team is as fast as the athletes of our national relay team..."

Indeed, the men's 100m champion, runner-up and third place are here, the 200m third place is here, and Wang Ben is the only Asian athlete who runs 100m in 10 seconds...

Chen Haijian's speed is not bad, and his time of 10.02 seconds is enough to be proud of the others in the Asian region.

Yin Hanzhao's speed is also good...

The Thai relay team, in terms of average score, is far behind the Chinese team. Even if it is the Japanese relay team, the Turkish general Kuanyu withdrew with an injury and was replaced by a young athlete, which also made the Japanese relay team a little lacking in confidence.

"In the past few days of training, if we cooperate well in tacit understanding, we may have a chance to get a ticket to the Athens Olympics and the men's relay race......"

In the World Games, the relay competition, only the top 16 relay teams in the world will be selected to participate in the competition. How many Olympic Games, the Chinese men's relay team, has not yet gotten a ticket...

Yu Wei's heart was instantly moved, and his face turned red...

If you get the men's relay team and qualify for the Athens Olympics, it will be a historic breakthrough! The significance is even comparable to running 10 seconds in the men's 100 meters!

Coach Yuan Guohua is also excited, this is really a competition worth looking forward to for domestic sprinting.

Zhang Ben took a deep breath: "Don't worry, our country's economy has begun to take off, and the investment in sports will be more and more large, and when the time comes, our domestic sports will definitely rise completely... We're just standing at the starting point of a complete rise in sports..."

The development of sports is inseparable from the support of the economy and science and technology.

In the next ten years and twenty years, domestic sports will indeed flourish and become a real sports power in the world.

"It's almost time, and they should check it out..."

Zhang Ben smiled slightly, as a coach, there will be a yearning, hoping that domestic sports can really rise. Now Zhang Ben seems to have opened a window for them, and they are already standing in front of the door...

China's sports will gradually rise with economic development...
