August 26, 1:30 p.m., Capital of China, Cycling Fencing Sports Management Center.

There are several people sitting in the large conference room of the center, namely: Director Wei, the leader of the self-attack center, Chairman Mi of the China Railway Association, Chairman Yu of the China Cycling Association, Shen Gui, the head coach of the Chinese Triathlon National Team, and Zhu Gui, the head coach of the Chinese National Cycling Team.

There was a big screen in the meeting, and the images projected onto the big screen were the video of the men's triathlon in Sheffield.

The five leaders began to study the video of this game at 9 o'clock this morning, and until now, they have been so engaged in their work that they forgot to sleep and eat, and they didn't even care about lunch.

For ordinary people, it is not an earth-shattering event for a Chinese athlete to win the triathlon international points race, and many people may not pay attention to the news of triathlon.

But for these five of the most authoritative and professional people in the industry, this is definitely a big deal, a historic breakthrough.

The eldest of the five is Director Wei, who is 50 years old and comes from fencing. Although he has reached the middle age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Director Wei's eyebrows show a heroic spirit that is not inferior to that of a young man, he was also a professional swordsman back then, and he must still have the style of a swordsman.

Director Wei paused the video and said to the other four: "We have studied the video of the Sheffield competition that ended yesterday several times, and we would like to talk about your views on the No. 303 player, the Chinese wild card player, and the English wild card player named DU-KE. ”

Coach Shen, the head coach of the triathlon national team, spoke first: "According to my observations, I am 99% sure that this No. 303 athlete is Du Ke, the Du Ke of the national swimming team. ”

"I add, not 99%, but 100%" added Chairman Tie Xiemi, who turned his laptop so that the rest of the people could see the computer screen, Chairman Mi said with certainty: "303 is Du Ke, the heartthrob male god Du Ke of the swimming team." I am the President of the China Railway Association and a member of the Board of Directors of the International Iron Federation, and I have access to the internal database of the International Iron Federation. Everyone, please look at my computer screen, I found the registration form for the No. 303 player in the men's group in Sheffield, you look at the photo on the registration form, who is it not Duke? And his date of birth is exactly the same as that of the swimming team's Duke. ”

"Well, it's Duke, that's right." After studying the registration form for Athlete No. 303, the others came to a unanimous opinion that this person is Du Ke, the Du Ke of the swimming team, and the Du Ke who has won 14 gold medals in the World Swimming Championships and broken nine swimming world records.

After confirming Duke's identity, the five leaders looked at each other again: Who sent him to England to participate in the competition?

Director Shen was puzzled: "I am the head coach of the triathlon national team, but I didn't send Du Ke to the UK!" I knew him before, but this swimmer didn't know me at all, and I didn't have much to do with him at all. ”

Chairman Mi continued: "Lao Shen is right, no matter how bold we are, we don't dare to dig the foot of the wall of the swimming mouth." Especially Duke, who would dare to fight his idea? Director Qin of the swimming center is so good now, last year's London Olympics, the swimming team and diving team won a total of 11 golds, and this year's swimming world championships ...... Don't talk about it, you all know the result. ”

"Director Qin is now the number one celebrity in the sports system, I saw him a few days ago, that is really bullish, full of red light, put aside in ancient times, he is the first assistant of Gu Ming above 10,000 people under one person, we dare to rob his head horse with no one care? Director Wei, I don't dare if you lend me ten guts! Although I would also like to ......" Speaking of this, Chairman Mi sighed, a sour feeling.

Syllable!

Director Wei suddenly slapped the table with emotion, startling the other four.

"Why don't you dare?" Director Wei suddenly asked Chairman Mi.

"Huh?" Chairman Mi was stunned, and Director Shen, Chairman Yu, and Director Zhu were also stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Boss Wei's gourd.

Director Wei showed a heroic swordsman aura who looked down on the world and gave up on me, and said: "Who stipulates that swimmers can't do triathlons? Can't work on other projects? There are some professional athletes in my country who have changed events, of course, there are almost no outstanding results after changing events. However, the system does not explicitly restrict athletes from transferring to events, theoretically speaking, the probability of success after transferring events is almost 0, because China's professional athletes basically start from children, and then engage in a new sport after adulthood, it is okay to play, but it is too difficult to make good results. ”

"However, Du Ke is not an ordinary person, which can be seen from his explosion in the World Swimming Championships, he can achieve the top in any swimming style, is this kind of character an ordinary person? It's just genius. As far as I know, Du Ke was born in a sports family, his parents and relatives are engaged in sports, and he has received professional training in many projects since he was a child, and his foundation is very solid. ”

"Although swimming, cycling, and long-distance running are completely different sports, the training methods are very different, and the requirements for red and white muscles are also different, but there are more than one billion people in China, and it is possible to produce a talented athlete from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present more than 60 years. The ultimate pursuit of the Olympic Games is to constantly push the limits of human beings. ”

When Chairman Mi and Director Shen heard Boss Wei's words, they were a little moved, and Director Shen cautiously asked Director Wei: "Then what do you mean...... Rob? Win over Duke and let him play triathlon? ”

Director Wei waved his hand and immediately gave instructions: "Rob!" ”

Director Shen was still not at ease, and asked again: "How do you rob it?" Bright robbery? ”

Director Wei waved his hand: "Of course we can't rob it openly, we have to talk about strategy." Du Ke went to the United Kingdom to participate in the triathlon points race, I probably understand, I just read his registration information, he got a sponsor wild card out of nowhere, secretly Chen Cang went to the United Kingdom, in his own name, this kid is very shrewd, he knows that it will not work to participate in the official channel. ”

"Let's not pursue the process, anyway, the result is very happy, Du Ke won the championship of the triathlon international points race, which is definitely an exciting and great news for our Chinese triathlon sport! So we need Doucle to continue to create more historical miracles on the triathlon front. ”

"Over there in the swimming center, Director Qin will definitely not let him go, and no matter how much I communicate with him, it won't work, so I can only go to the director to communicate, and Du Ke will win the championship in one fell swoop when he competes as a wild card, which is the biggest bargaining chip for us to fight for him to transfer to triathlon."

Chairman Mi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and he was a little unconfident: "That's right, Du Ke has indeed created the history of my country in the triathlon project, and I, as the chairman of the China Iron Association, also want to win this great god over." But will the bureau chief promise him to switch from swimming to triathlon? Why do I say that, because there are so many gold medals in swimming! Let's not talk about the World Championships, let's talk about the Olympic Games, the Olympic men's swimming event has 13 individual events + 3 relay races, and there are a total of 16 men's gold medals. And there is only one gold medal in the men's triathlon at the Olympics, so I'm not confident that we can win Du Ke over......"

As soon as Chairman Mi said this, Director Wei fell into deep thought, his brows tightened, and he stopped talking.

Yes, Lao Mi is right, why did the director agree to Duke to switch from swimming to triathlon? Just because he won the championship of the triathlon international points race, he created the history of triathlon in my country?

The weight and influence of the Olympic gold medal on the entire sports system, for the provinces, and for the people of the whole country is undoubted.

Three years later, at the Rio Olympics, Duke was 23 years old, which was the golden age of a swimmer, and it was not difficult for him to brush 10+ Olympic swimming gold medals by himself. And the Olympic men's triathlon gold medal is only set one, 1 and 10+, and fools can make judgments about how to choose. If you go to the director like this, you will definitely be beaten up by the director, and if you don't do it, you will be dismissed......

"Hey......" Director Wei looked up to the sky and sighed, and said regretfully: "It's my fool's dream, forget it, Duke secretly went to the UK to participate in the triathlon competition, and we shouldn't know about it." This file has turned the page, the meeting is over, go and busy with your business, let me be quiet for a while. ”

"Hey, it's a pity, who made our triathlon weak."

"If you want me to say, triathlon can set up a few more Olympic gold medals, standard iron, 70.3, big ironman, half iron, you see, I set four gold medals at once. In fact, you can set more small items, just change the distance. ”

Chairman Mi and Director Shen sighed, and suddenly had a kind of helplessness that "men are afraid of entering the wrong business".

When everyone was about to end the meeting, Director Zhu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not?" "He is the head coach of the Chinese cycling national team.

"Say." Director Wei spit out a word weakly.

"The number of triathlon gold medals set in the Olympics is not many, but the number of gold medals set in cycling events is quite large. The London Olympics have set 18 cycling gold medals, nine for men and nine for women, and will only increase in the future. So, my thoughts are...... Let's go and fight for Duke, let him switch to the cycling project I don't know if it's feasible? I just watched the footage carefully, and Duke rode at a high speed of nearly 50 km/h on the first lap of the cycling stage, this terrifying speed, with a little training, he can go to the track cycling and have the ability to win gold! ”

Syllable! Syllable!

Director Wei jumped up directly, slapped the table twice, and looked extremely excited: "Lao Zhu, you are right, the number of gold medals in triathlon is small, but there are many gold medals in bicycles!" 9 Olympic gold medals in cycling, at least we have the capital to fight for Duke, operable, completely operable! Haha, Lao Zhu, you have made a great contribution, I will remember it for you! ”

"Hey......" Chairman Mi and Director Shen of the triathlon front continued to sigh, the external battle has not started yet, and the internal has begun to grab people first, especially if you are engaged in bicycles, you have a better future than our triathlon!

Director Wei saw hope again, and Chairman Yu and Director Zhu of the bicycle front were also as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood, as if Du Ke had abandoned the darkness and turned to the Ming and took refuge in the bicycle hall.

At this time, only to hear a "bang", the door of the conference room was violently pushed open, and a group of men broke in forcefully. After he entered the door, he rushed directly to Director Wei and questioned Director Wei in a tone of questioning: "Old Wei, are you not kind, playing yin in our swimming center behind your back?" Why did you send Doucle to England, and what authority do you have to direct him to compete in triathlon? You have to give me an explanation today, or I'll go to the director for justice!" "This person is Director Qin, the boss of the swimming management center.

The group of people behind Director Qin were Deputy Director Xu of the Swimming Management Center, Chairman Fu of the Chinese Swimming Association, Chairman Zheng of the Swimming Association, Director Qian, head coach of the men's national swimming team, and the four assistant coaches of the swimming national team Zhou, Pei, He, and Yang, who were indignant and very unhappy.

The main leaders of the swimming front poured out, and the soldiers pressed the border to the bicycle fencing management center, Director Qin's team was stronger than the team of the host Director Wei, Director Qin was mainly anti-guest, it seemed that he was here to smash the field......
