"So, that Director Shi is definitely going to be transferred away this time?" Dad was also a little excited and said, "Then next year, there may be a glimmer of hope for this matter?" ”

"Yes! After the swimming team lost the Olympics this time, the discerning people in our General Bureau all knew, and Director Shi basically made up his mind. Song Ping also nodded, but then changed the conversation, "As for whether there is hope for next year, we will see when we have time." You broke a national record this time, which made the other party very shameless. Hehe...... I don't think it's very likely. You also have to be mentally prepared. ”

"yes!" Guo Zizhao also nodded when he thought of the urine sex of the tour management center in his previous life, "I guess so, this matter will be subject to the destiny of heaven!" ”

"Haha...... It's not as pessimistic as you think. Song Ping also said with a smile, "After the personnel changes stabilize next year, I will help you inquire about it." It's useless to worry about that now, just rest for a while. I have to catch a flight back home tonight! ”

"Yo...... Really? As soon as he said this, Guo Zizhao also wailed depressedly, "October 5th is the finals of this year's IAAF Grand Prix, and it's only 3 days, so I really won't be allowed to participate?" ”

"It's useless to tell me this! This is what Director Yuan said personally, and he wants the whole regiment to return to China in a unified manner. Song Ping also said confidently, "Especially you, a guy who won four gold medals at one time, have to go back to China to accept the commendation together!" I can't let you run alone again. ”

"That's it!" Dad also chimed in, "Usually you don't participate in the collective activities of the national team, so you can't be too troublesome at this time!" Besides, the Grand Prix Finals are held every year, so why are you in a hurry! ”

"Hey...... So, you should go back to China honestly with everyone this time. For the next half a month, it is estimated that you will not be idle. The collective activities and meetings of various Olympic champion groups are certainly indispensable. Song Ping also said with a sly smile, "When it's over your side, it's time for us to go home and rest." It's been almost half a year since you came out, so don't toss us anymore......"

……

Just when Guo Zizhao and others were pondering the personnel changes of the General Administration, in the room of Shi Tianguang, director of the Game Management Center, the atmosphere was also very depressing.

"So, Guo Zizhao's freestyle results are really among the best in China?" Shi Tianguang lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and a muffled voice came from the smoke.

"Hmm...... The electric meter score was 50.44 seconds, breaking the national record. I also timed it manually at the time and it should be fine. When Coach Zhao Ge said this, he also sighed, "Alas...... I didn't expect that there are such demonic characters in China, and our training over the years has been in vain. ”

"You said he used to swim? Haven't you registered with the Swimming Association? ”

"Nope!" Zhao Ge also shook his head, "According to Coach Zhu, Guo Zizhao still practiced in junior high school, and later changed to track and field because of the limited field conditions. Alas...... It is estimated that he used to be a good swimming seedling, but it's a pity that the people in the field management center picked up a bargain! ”

"Hmph...... An athlete outside the system. What if it's a good seedling...... How? Are you tempted? ”

"Not really." Zhao Ge still shook his head, "Although his results are top in China, he is still not competitive in the world." Not worth it! Besides, with Guo Zizhao's personality, our game management center can't control him. ”

"If only you understood! We've got enough thorns on our swim team, and we can't add to the mess now! We still have to focus on domestic selection. In this Olympic Games, although our swimming team did not produce any results, there was no doping scandal this time, which is already a major victory! ”

"I'm sorry, old leader." Zhao Ge also said with some guilt, "It's me who has no ability, and I have implicated you this time." ”

"Not really! I'm going to let you be the head coach, and the results are put aside, and the primary purpose is to rectify this problem of doping. This time I guess I have achieved my goal. But that's not enough! Step by step, fight for the abolition of "federalism"! Otherwise, we will fall short in the end. ”

"Old leader, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll ......" Zhao Ge also said with a worried face, "Your pressure will be great......

"Afraid of what? I know I'm in this position, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sit there for long. So now, I'm not afraid of offending people! Try to settle this matter before the end of the year, and even if I am transferred in the future, you, the head coach of the national team, will do a much better job......"

"Old Leader ......"

。。。。。。

It turned out that before 1995, the national swimming team, like other competitions, was a "national system".

That is to say, after the outstanding athletes of each local provincial team are selected to enter the national team, the training management will be carried out in a unified manner. Including the new arrangement of the head coach, unified accommodation, unified training conditions, unified arrangement of training plans or participation in competitions, etc.

But later, since the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, swimming has also attracted the attention of local leaders at all levels due to its excellent results. And began to increase the investment in swimming projects from all aspects. Especially in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the success of the "Five Golden Flowers" made the leaders of the local team see the direction of achievements and political achievements. So since then, the enthusiasm of local teams at all levels for swimming has increased.

But with such an all-out investment, it quickly brought a lot of problems. In some of the major swimming provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and Liao, the coaching level, training facilities and welfare benefits of these local provincial teams soon far exceeded the national team. It's a little embarrassing now......

In this way, many swimmers who have been selected for the national team have opinions. After arriving at the national team, not only the training conditions were poor, the welfare benefits were poor, but even the coaching level felt much worse than before. This has reduced the training effect of many players, and even some players have begun to be emotional or negative in training.

At the same time, because the benefits and rewards of local provincial teams are higher than those of national teams, some high-level coaches are reluctant to leave home and follow athletes to become coaches of national teams.

In this way, the results of the national team have also been greatly affected.

……

In 1995, in order to solve this trouble, the then National Sports Commission had to delegate most of the rights of the national swimming team to the local provincial teams.

That is, swimmers with national brands are allowed to train by their original coaches in their respective provincial teams. In this way, they can train at a high level in an otherwise familiar environment. When it's time to play, just call the coach and the players back.

Since then, the "national system" of the national swimming team has existed in name only, and this so-called "federal system" has become popular.

In fact, this method is a bit similar to Guo Zizhao's current situation in the national track and field team.

In this way, everyone is happy. In the beginning, it really worked very well. But soon, as the problem of doping abuse came to light, the flaws of the "federal" system were exposed.

The lack of necessary supervision of athletes in provincial team training, coupled with the fact that some coaches and even leaders are in order to produce results, has led to a large amount of doping abuse. A large number of national athletes have also been repeatedly exposed to scandals in domestic or international competitions. The whole swimming program was hit hard.

After Shi Tianguang became the director of the tour management center in 1997, he wanted to restore the "national system" and reintegrate the training of all athletes into the unified management of the national team. However, once the power in this hand is handed over, the resistance to recovering it is not small!

So after two years of busy work, it has only achieved little results. Moreover, doping scandals continue to appear, which also gives Shi Tianguang a headache. Until taking the opportunity of this Olympic Games, Shi Tianguang asked Zhao Ge to strengthen the management of national team members, increase doping testing, not only check one by one, but also spot check at any time from time to time. Once found to be unqualified, no matter who it is, it will be immediately expelled from the national team.

In this way, at the expense of performance, all the urine tests of the swimming team of this Olympic Games were passed.

After returning to China, Shi Tianguang is also ready to do another practical thing before being transferred. That is, the "federal system" that had been in place for five years was completely abolished and the national swimming team was re-managed in a unified manner. Otherwise, if the sand continues in such a mess, the doping incident will still recur.

It is precisely for this reason that Shi Tianguang hates Guo Zizhao, who is also outside the organization and management......
