From day one, the Olympics turned into a gold medal battle between the Chinese Army and the American Army. Since day one, the competition between the two countries for the gold medal table has been a hot topic in the media.

In the first 7 days of the competition, the Chinese Legion performed well in shooting, diving, gymnastics, weightlifting and other events, winning a total of 22 gold medals, far ahead in the gold medal list.

The gold medals of the Chinese Legion are widely distributed, and gold medals will be won in many small events. For the Chinese Legion, this competition can be said to occupy the right time and place, and for them, the only deficiency is that they are weak in track and field and swimming.

There are 28 sports and a total of 302 gold medals. Among them, there were 46 gold medals in track and field and 32 gold medals in swimming, for a total of 78 gold medals, more than a quarter of the total number of gold medals in the Olympic Games.

There is a saying in the Olympic Games: track and field, swimmers win the world.

In the swimming event, the Chinese delegation can still deal with the United States and Russia in this event by virtue of the performance of its diving dream team, but in the previous track and field events, the Chinese army was beaten by the main opponents, and the gap between the Chinese delegation and the opponent in this major event has always been a heart of the Chinese delegation.

This is the place in the world where China, a major sports country, has been criticized the most.

Contrary to the Chinese delegation, the U.S. team has a very reasonable distribution of strength, leading the world in track and field and swimming, which can represent the overall strength of the country.

Although the U.S. team only won nine gold medals in the first week, they still looked very confident. In an interview, a spokesman for the U.S. delegation said that with the start of a number of finals in swimming competitions and the arrival of track and field competitions, they will take away the Chinese track and field team with a wave of gold medals.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese delegation then said that it would let the US imperialists get lost in the sea of gold medals of the Chinese army through more flowering.

Subsequently, the U.S. team expressed dissatisfaction, and the Chinese delegation had countless chances to win the championship in many events such as table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, diving, and shooting.

On August 15, after a week of competing in other Olympic competitions, the athletics event finally had its first day of competition.

Because it was the height of summer, the weather in Beijing was relatively hot from noon to evening, which was not conducive to athletes to perform well, so the Olympic track and field competition only had morning and evening games.

The Olympic track and field competition lasts for nine days, so the competition will not be as tight as the Grand Prix, and the competition will start at 9 a.m.

Before half past eight, the leaders and coaches of the track and field team had already appeared in the stands.

"Director Cui, why don't you call the team members to meet with you?"

On the rostrum, Feng Yong chatted with Cui Dayong, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of China.

"It's going to affect the players' preparation too much, so I'm just going to look at the game from the spectators. Before coming, Director Liu specially instructed that the Olympic Games are held once every four years, and after coming to the venue, you must not blindly command, so that the state of the athletes will be affected. ”

Feng Yong saw that Cui Dayong did not agree to meet with the team members one by one, and did not insist, and accompanied Cui Dayong to chat all over the world.

"That guy over there is Lu Wei, I'm much more powerful than in the video image! Looks like you've been in good shape lately, right? ”

Cui Dayong asked Lu Wei with interest.

"There is no problem in the shot put heats, there is still a 100m heats in the morning, but there is no problem in qualifying."

Feng Yong said, looking confident.

Cui Dayong nodded with satisfaction, looked for it on the field, and then remembered something.

"How's Liu Yangyu doing? It's still the same for the past two days? ”

When Feng Yong heard this question, his body tensed, and he didn't speak directly, but typed his stomach in his heart, and then said slowly: "After he felt that the Achilles tendon injury was serious during the training two days ago, he didn't practice on the ground, and the training was basically in the strength room......

At this point, neither of them spoke. Time seemed to stand still, and after a while, Cui Dayong sighed.

Before this Olympic Games, everyone's hopes for Liu Feiren were very high. Many people think that the men's 110 hurdles is more stable than Lu Wei's shot put and javelin.

From Liu Feiren's first victory in the World Series to his participation in the Olympic Games this year, it has been exactly 4 years. In the past four years, Liu Feiren has brought too many surprises to everyone.

After winning the gold medal at the Athens Olympics and then breaking the world record, he performed nine miracles at the World Championships in Osaka, completely securing the title of the world's first man in the men's 110 hurdles.

At the Indoor Track and Field Championships earlier this year, he even won first place in the 60 hurdles, a sport that he is not very good at.

Cui Dayong chatted with several coaches about Liu Feiren's situation, and his attention turned to the track and field field.

"I'm here today to see how Lu Wei is doing, and as of today, although we are still ahead of the United States in the gold medal table, as the diving competition enters the final gold medal schedule, the track and field competition has also kicked off.

If we don't have enough strength, the advantage of 12 gold medals is only a matter of two or three days, especially today Lu Wei's main competitors are Cantwell and Hoffa of the United States. If you can win the gold medal battle with the American team, it will be the value of two gold medals back and forth, and I hope to see Lu Wei create good results! ”

Cui Dayong is the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and he is also the secretary general of the General Administration of Sports.

Today is the first day of the Olympic track and field competition, but for the Chinese track and field team, it is under unimaginable pressure.

Now it seems that the men's shot put event with the greatest hope of winning the championship is the direct competitor of the United States team, and winning the championship can naturally inspire the whole team, and even boost the morale of the entire delegation, but if it loses, it is difficult to imagine whether Chinese track and field can contribute a gold medal to the entire delegation in the subsequent events.

As the head coach of the track and field team, Feng Yong feels that the pressure on him is unprecedented. Usually track and field events are difficult to compare with many advantageous events in large-scale competitions, and even many times are not as many gold medals as table tennis and badminton.

Feng Yong's thinking seems to have gotten into a dead end, always going around these issues, and now he is worried that the Chinese track and field team will not be able to achieve anything in the Olympics, and then he will be able to escape the blame.

"Lao Feng, Lu Wei is on the field, the track and field weather is a little stuffy, I don't know how he is adjusted!"

The morning shot put qualifying tournament had begun, and Feng Yong looked at Lu Wei's figure, and suddenly had some sincere expectations. Judging from the current situation of the Chinese track and field team, the hope of the gold medal may be more on him.
