Chapter 72: Second Admission Ticket

"Bang!"

With a shot from the referee, the final set of races in the 1500m event began. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Even if there is basically no problem with reaching the Olympic A standard of 8200 points, Qi Haifeng, who is the strongest in the 1500m event in the group, still rushed to the forefront of the team from the beginning. If it weren't for the fact that the starting gun had just sounded and was still reverberating in the stadium and had not "dispersed", it would have been easy to mistake the race for the final lap.

Although the 29-year-old Qi Haifeng is already the oldest athlete in the group, he is far ahead of other opponents who are at least two or three years younger than him in the 1500m event, which tests the endurance of the athletes.

If you change to a track and field athlete in Europe and the United States, at the age of 29, you are undoubtedly still in the golden stage of your sports career. But as a Chinese player who became famous at a young age, Qi Haifeng has been classified as a "veteran" in China.

However, it was Qi Haifeng, a 29-year-old veteran, who created the best results in a number of all-around competitions in the first leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix. In particular, in the final 1500m race, he was 5 seconds ahead of the second-placed athlete with a time of 4:26.43.

######

After the first 400 meters, Qi Haifeng, who took the lead, was already 20 meters ahead of the second-ranked athlete.

Seeing the domineering spirit of "who else can I be" on the senior brother, Feng Quan, who temporarily ranked fifth in the group, also sighed with emotion in his heart: "If the senior brother had not suffered from injuries in recent years, he may have the strength to challenge the Asian record now......

Feng Quan's idea was not wrong at all.

Qi Haifeng, as a rare all-around athlete in China with a relatively balanced strength in all events, even has the strength of a world-class all-around athlete in the javelin and 1500m events. If Qi Haifeng had been able to continue the scientific and systematic training of his youth in the past few years, instead of suffering from many injuries and having to frequently interrupt training for rehabilitation, Qi Haifeng, who broke the national record at the age of 20 and became the first person in China to break the 8,000-point mark, may really have the strength to challenge the Asian record at this time......

In fact, Qi Haifeng is also lucky.

If the wheel of history continues to advance according to the normal trajectory, Qi Haifeng will not be able to get a ticket to the Olympic Games until the deadline for the London Olympics. If it weren't for Feng Quan's "crossing" back to 2011 in 2015, and getting the help of the system to break the national youth record he held, resulting in the "butterfly effect", Qi Haifeng, who was tormented by various injuries in the past few years, would not have had any hope of hitting the Olympic Games A standard at this time.

When the news of Feng Quan's breaking the national youth record reached Qi Haifeng's ears, he was not too surprised. Because Qi Haifeng had long thought that his junior disciple had such potential. In fact, what touched Qi Haifeng the most was Feng Quan's performance during the entire winter training period.

and the one in Qi Haifeng's previous impression is extremely devoted to running and jumping events; The style of being opportunistic in throwing events, and even swindling injuries and missing training, is completely different.

During this winter training, although Feng Quan focused on practicing the 100-meter sprint, he also did not ignore his previous relatively weak throwing practice. This time, Feng Quan is not only very involved in the training of the throwing event, but also the improvement of throwing skills is also very obvious.

Feng Quan, who had been relying on his talent before, was not very involved in training, and it was as if he had changed someone.

The huge changes in Fengquan deeply touched Qi Haifeng's heartstrings.

With his injuries healed and his physical condition restored to his peak, Qi Haifeng, who was already very harsh in training, put in twelve points of energy. It also made Qi Haifeng rekindle his fighting spirit and hope to fight in the Olympic arena again.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Haifeng, who has not been able to break through 7,800 points for many years, was able to win the championship with a score of 7,956 points in the first leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix. In addition, after completing 9 of these competitions, nearly 7,500 points were obtained.

Even though he had established a very obvious advantage, Qi Haifeng, whose eyes were full of determination, was still constantly speeding up the pace under his feet.

"Those who have questioned me, break open your dog's eyes and see, the man you once called the 'Chinese miracle' is back......"

######

After 1000 meters, with the gradual consumption of physical energy, Qi Haifeng, who had an obvious lead (more than 30 meters ahead of the second place), also gradually slowed down his speed.

Glancing at the watch on his left hand, Qi Haifeng's face was showing a satisfied smile. "3:30 (59) is not bad, if I continue at this pace, it will be enough for me to complete the last 400 meters in 1 minute......"

Thinking of this, Qi Haifeng stabilized his rhythm and walked towards the finish line step by step.

######

When Feng Quan entered the last 400 meters of the race, the host of the scene shouted again passionately: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liaoning athlete Feng Quan has entered the last 400 meters. I'm sure it will take a minute at most for you to join me in witnessing the new national record in the decathlon...... Now, please use your warmest applause to cheer for the wind! ”

Immediately afterwards, nearly 20,000 spectators at the scene broke out into thunderous applause and cheers, and together with the host of the scene, they cheered for the wind very rhythmically.

Glancing at the [Timing and Ranging] device in front of him, Feng Quan "cursed" in his heart: "Damn, it's only 3 minutes and 43 seconds (76), and there are less than 350 meters to the finish line?" No, you can't do the 400m race in a minute, as the guy (the host said). Otherwise, if the speed is too fast, it will not be conducive to my plan to 'break more records and get more bonuses' in the future......"

So, some funny scenes appeared.

Just when the host and the audience in the stands shouted Feng Quan's name in unison and cheered for him passionately.

However, I was surprised to find that Feng Quan, who was in fourth place and didn't seem to feel very strained, suddenly dropped significantly in terms of running rhythm.

"Although this kid's progress in other events is obvious, his endurance quality is still his weakest link...... "Thinking of this, Guan Heyou, who still retains a trace of hope for hitting the Olympic A standard, accelerated the rhythm of his feet, and Guan Heyou, who originally had a gap of more than ten meters between him and Feng Quan, caught up with him in a distance of only more than 100 meters.

Moreover, when Guan Heyou ran less than 200 meters away from the finish line, he finally overtook the wind in front of him.

"Humph! Even if Lao Tzu wants to 'deliberately release water', he must not be pulled too far away by you......"

However, just when the host and the audience thought that Feng Quan must have been due to excessive physical exertion in the previous game, which caused him to lose his physical strength at the moment, and it was very likely that he would be thrown farther and farther away by Guan Heyou. But he was surprised again to find that Feng Quan, who had been a little powerless and gradually slowed down his rhythm at the last moment, regained the speed before the host and the audience cheered for Feng Quan after being pulled away by Guan Heyou for five or six meters.

In this way, no matter between Guan Heyou and Fengquan, they have always maintained a distance of about five or six meters, and ran step by step towards the finish line......

######

In the end, Qi Haifeng, who took the lead, crossed the finish line first with a time of 4:25.40 (775 points). Yu Bin, an athlete from Sichuan Province, and Zhu Hengjun, a player from the People's Liberation Army, ranked second or third in the group with a time of 4:30.96 and 4.3179 respectively, following Qi Haifeng.

With no hope of breaking the Asian record, and having a "small calculation" in mind, the original plan was to finish the race in about 4 minutes and 50 seconds (619 minutes) in order to leave room for himself to break the national record again in the future.

It's a pity that due to the unwillingness to lose too much to the "old rival" Guan Heyou in the 1500-meter race, Feng Quan "miscalculated" with a time of 4:40.76 (676 points), following Guan Heyou to cross the finish line in the fifth place.

After crossing the finish line, Feng Quan glanced at the [Timing and Ranging] device "in front of him", and immediately stomped his feet angrily.

"Holy, 4 minutes and 40 seconds! Oops, miscalculated, miscalculated. In this way, how many times do you have to break the national record...... This damn 'bean sprouts' pisses me off! If he hadn't overtaken me, I wouldn't have run so fast in the last 200 meters......"

All the athletes, coaches, and spectators in the stands could never imagine why Feng Quan, the kid, "stomped his feet angrily". In their opinion, the reason why Feng Quan behaved like this must be because his grades were "not ideal......

Zhao Feng, who had long lost the motivation to hit the Olympic A standard, only ran a time of 4:44.29 (654 points) without exerting his full strength, ranking seventh in the group.

If Zhao Feng had calculated his points in detail before the 1500-meter race, he would have regretted his choice of "not doing his best". Because in terms of the final overall score, Zhao Feng's 7997 points are only one step away from the 8000 points mark. Even if it is half a second faster, Zhao Feng will become the fourth Chinese...... to break the 8,000-point mark

######

At the beginning, Yue Wenjun, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but let himself laugh when he saw the scene of Feng Quan's "angry stomping his feet".

But when Yue Wenjun saw Qi Haifeng, who crossed the finish line first, he walked to Feng Quan's side to comfort him, but Feng Quan was still there like a child who couldn't get the "toy he wanted", and he was still there "stomping his feet angrily", he still laughed out loud after all.

"Hey, this stinky boy, when will he really grow up? Just because you didn't break the Asian record, you are angry like this? It seems that after going back, I really have to find a psychiatrist for him and counsel him well......" Although Yue Wenjun complained about Feng Quan in his heart, his face was full of happy and happy smiles......
