Chapter 231: Don't worry about me
With his amazing performance in the 100-meter final, Lu Wei suddenly became a national celebrity. So far, the number of gold medals of the Chinese Olympic team has approached 30, but from this day on, their light has dimmed because of Lu Wei's performance.
Both TV and print media put the news of the game in the headlines, and Lu Wei's close-up shot occupied the front page headlines of all the media.
Lu Wei's appeal to the media now even surpasses that of Liu Feiren, who won the Olympic title in Athens four years ago with a world record-equal.
Sprinting is the mainstream event in track and field, and the 100m is the mainstream of the mainstream, and a breakthrough in this event has a far greater impact than the niche event in the Olympic Games.
Table tennis, badminton, and other such sports also have a large audience. However, the world is still paying more attention to sports such as track and field and swimming, which can better reflect an individual's physical ability. In addition, there are team sports such as football and basketball, which require collective cooperation.
In athletics, the 100m is obviously more eye-catching than the 110 hurdles, and the more you focus on physical ability, the more likely it is to burn the audience.
There is a big difference between Lu Wei's silver medal and Shingo Sueji's bronze medal in the 200m at the World Championships in 2003. Also for the breakthrough of Asian athletes, Shingo Suesu's time at that time was 20.38 seconds, and this time to win the bronze medal has a lot to do with the fact that many sprinters did not participate in the 200m race that year.
Compared with him, Lu Wei was able to stand on the podium in this competition, and there was no luck at all, but he won the silver medal with his hard power.
In the first 10 years of this project, he could win all competitions, and in the next 10 years, except for Bolt and Lu Wei himself, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass his results.
When Lu's father and Lu's mother went to work the next morning, everyone would praise Lu Wei for being a good boy when they saw them. This made the old couple sturdy and proud, praising their son is praising themselves, without the education of the old couple, can there be such a good child?
In fact, the effect is really not as big as they imagined!
August 17, the third day of the Olympic athletics competition.
Lu Wei didn't play today, and yesterday's game was about to run out of energy, so he didn't plan to get up early to train, and everyone wanted him to sleep well.
Lu Wei got up and looked at his watch, it was almost noon. He sat up from the bed and stretched hard, and slept soundly. Except for the fact that my body is still a little sore, my spirit is much better than yesterday.
Sure enough, sleep is the best way to restore physical fitness.
After a brief wash, Lu Wei and the other members of the national team converged and walked towards the athletes' cafeteria together.
"Lu Wei, you eat steak, vegetables and milk every time, your way of eating is very strange, how can you look like those foreign devils!"
Shen Liang came over with a plate, he would rather eat monotonous Chinese food every day than eat those monotonous looking Western food like Lu Wei.
"It's really not wrong to say that you are a soil hammer, there are no superfluous additives in what people eat, it is closer to the original ecology, don't look at the amount is not large, the nutrition provided must be more than your plate of chili fried meat, what are you putting most of the garlic here!"
Zhang Yuanteng didn't wait for Shen Liang to continue talking, and he didn't wait for Lu Wei to answer before he went back.
Lu Wei smiled and looked at them, and I looked at each other.
True brotherhood is not established by being polite to each other or praising each other, but is formed by rubbing each other, running in with each other, understanding each other, and finally identifying with each other and respecting each other.
"Don't worry, I can still hold on, I was a little unwell after yesterday's game, and I have almost recovered today. I can't be so easily exhausted, I still want to win a medal in the relay competition with my brothers! As long as I have a breath, I will do my best, don't worry! ”
Lu Wei's sudden statement made the other members of the relay team listen to it, and everyone's eyes were more or less shining.
"That's what you said! If you are tired in the next race and can't play in the relay race, you give me a little care! ”
Lu Wei looked at Shen Liang and nodded with a smile. This guy is usually reluctant to admit cowardice, and it is difficult for him to express his concern for others normally, and this is how he communicates.
On the way to the restaurant, I heard Wang Qiao say that when he was confused on the field yesterday, Shen Liang almost jumped from the stands to get to Lu Wei's side.
The security guards and volunteers at the stadium were not vegetarians, so they pushed him back. If the audience can enter the field casually, then dozens of strong men will come down casually and hold their arms next to the track, and Bolt may have weak legs when he starts. The same situation was placed in Osaka last year, when Lu Wei found the field for Shen Liang, wouldn't the little Japan in the audience launch a "long live charge".
In fact, Lu Wei aside, the talents of these guys in the relay team are very good, and if they train well, their results will not be bad when they reach the peak of athletes.
It's really because of the appearance of the Great Demon King of Lu Wei that the efforts and growth of the other team members are a little overshadowed.
"It's good that everyone works hard, when the time comes, we will all work hard, the burden of the relay race can't be on you alone, each of us has to work hard, I've been practicing with my head covered for so long, just point to this time!"
Hu Huo's words sounded much more pleasing to the ear than Shen Liang, but after careful analysis, the main content was much the same. Zhang Yuanteng and Wen Ningyi also nodded beside them, and it could be seen from the irrepressible light in their eyes that they wanted to win a medal.
At the Olympics held at their doorstep, everyone wants to leave their name in the annals of history, even if they win a bronze medal, it proves that they have not been in vain.
On the training ground in the afternoon, Lu Wei ran a few groups of 400 meters on the way, and the first event tomorrow morning is the 400-meter preliminaries.
Lu Wei found that this sentence did not seem to be completely in line with his competition state, since participating in the track and field competition, he has had a long time to compete in almost every competition, and sometimes he has not recovered from the previous competition, and he has to prepare for the next competition.
When everyone was practicing in full swing, only Liu Yangyu was a little silent on the training ground, and Lu Wei found that after training for several hours, he was either practicing local strength or doing muscle stretching.
After coming to the Olympic venue, Lu Wei remembered that he had only seen him practice on the field a few days ago, and then he either did physiotherapy or practiced strength in the equipment room, and it seemed that the situation of the Achilles tendon was not very optimistic.
Remember that the first event tomorrow is the 400m heats, and the 110m hurdles will also be played around 11 o'clock. Lu Wei looked at Liu Feiren, and only hoped that he would not be affected by injury tomorrow and run a few shots in the Olympics.
