"I oppose Zhang Guan's participation in this Asian Athletics Championships!" It was a middle-aged man who spoke with a slightly fat figure and a pair of glasses with many rings on the bridge of his nose.

This middle-aged man's surname is Tang, he is not an athlete, he has never been a coach, his major is statistics, and he has nothing to do with sports. However, his administrative skills are valued by the leadership of the center. In fact, he is very capable of working, at least from a professional point of view in management, he is much better in terms of administration than those who come from an athlete's background. Perhaps because of his background in statistics, he has very strong data analysis skills and is a typical meritologist.

I only heard this middle-aged man surnamed Tang speak: "This Zhang Guan's explosiveness and speed are indeed very fast, but in my opinion, he has a huge shortcoming and is not suitable to participate in this Asian Athletics Championships." Because he can't run a relay race! ”

"This Asian Athletics Championships, in addition to participating in the single event, we also have to participate in the 4 x 100 meters relay race, I have read the relevant information of this Zhang Guan, he has only carried out formal training for two months, even the most basic starting line has not reached the professional and standard, and must not have trained for the relay race, just by virtue of this, I think he is not suitable to participate in this Asian Athletics Championships."

"In the men's 100-meter event, the strongest in Asia is the Japanese team, although they no longer have an international athlete like Koji Ito, but at present, Japan's Nobuji Asahara and Shingo Sueji have run into 10.10 seconds, which is stronger than the strength of our athletes, and there are also Tsuchie Kanyu and Takahira Shinshi, and the strength of our athletes is about the same, plus Kazakhstan's Medvedev, Cherofe, Saudi Arabia's Mubarak, Abdullah, it is basically impossible for our athletes to win a medal in the 100-meter event. However, in the men's 4x100m event, we are not as good as Japan, but we are also slightly stronger than Kazakhstan in terms of overall strength compared to Saudi Arabia, and I think that if we go with the current staff, we can win at least a bronze medal in the relay event and have a chance to fight for a silver medal. But if you change the player and replace it with a newcomer who has never run 4 by 100 meters, I am afraid that you will not even get a bronze medal. ”

Although Director Tang is a layman in track and field, he has directly analyzed the facts and data, and the temptation of a medal does sound very convincing.

Director Yu obviously didn't agree with Director Tang's statement, so he retorted: "The selection of Zhang Guan to compete is mainly based on the consideration of training young athletes and allowing him to accumulate more experience in competitions. You have also seen the video I just played, Zhang Guan's potential is huge, the current starting reaction time takes about 0.3 seconds, if he can reach the level of a top athlete in this item, at least 0.15 seconds of time, plus the improvement of daily training, I think he will be able to run within 10 seconds, this kind of athlete, the future must be world-class, it is worth us to spend some cost to cultivate. And his results have reached the Olympic A standard, for next year's Olympics, I think Zhang Guan should be sent out to experience this time. ”

"What Director Yu said is very reasonable, Zhang Guan's potential is indeed huge." Director Tang first agreed, but retorted as soon as his voice changed: "But the growth of a young athlete always takes time, and the problem of starting reaction time alone is probably not that the training in the past few months can reach the top level." I won't talk about it far, just talk about Liu Feiren in the 110-meter hurdles event, he was only 16 years old when he entered the national team in 1999, one year younger than the current Zhang Guan, we took him as a key training object to cultivate, in 2001 he only achieved results in Asian competitions, broke the Asian record in 2002, and only qualified to participate in the World Athletics Championships this year, it took us four years of hard work to train him to become a world-class athlete. Even if this Zhang Guan starts to be cultivated now, I am afraid it will take two or three years to become a world-class athlete. ”

Director Tang paused deliberately, turned his head to Director Ma and said: "As for next year's Athens Olympics, it's still too early to discuss who to send to participate, but Zhang Guan's Olympic A standard results will not help us in the quota, we can still only send one athlete to participate, didn't Jian Chen also reach the B standard!" Personally, I think it's safer to send an experienced player like Chen Jian to participate in a major tournament like the Olympics, and maybe have a chance to enter the second round. Zhang Guan is still too young and has participated in too few competitions, and an extraordinary performance does not mean that he has the most top strength, and it is too risky to send Zhang Guan to participate. ”

Director Tang's last sentence shocked almost everyone in the venue, Zhang Guan suddenly appeared in this competition, breaking the national 100-meter record, but he participated in the official competition only this time, does not rule out the possibility of his extraordinary performance in the competition, no one can guarantee that Zhang Guan's results are sustainable. Compared with those veteran athletes who have been on the battlefield for a long time, Zhang Guan's sudden performance always makes people feel unreliable, and it will make people afraid that Zhang Guan will be just a meteor that will disappear into the dark night sky after a short period of light.

Director Ma frowned, he knew that sending Zhang Guan to the competition was a huge risk. If Zhang Guan is really just a flash in the pan, then sending him to compete will not only fail to train athletes, but the national team will also lose a medal in the 4x100m relay in vain. For the national track and field team, any medal in international competitions is hard-won.

Director Ma did not express his position, but the topic came to the Olympic Games, and there were already people in the venue who couldn't sit still.

"What Director Tang said is reasonable, it is more secure to send Chen Jian to participate in the Olympic Games, Zhang Guan is too young and inexperienced after all, and there are many opportunities in the future."

"Yes, the sports development in Nanyue has been very good in recent years, a large number of outstanding athletes have been cultivated, and outstanding contributions have been made to the country, and their athlete training system is only worth learning and promoting."

Except for Yu Gui, most of the others present nodded yes.

At present, among the well-known domestic athletes, Chen Jian, Yin Hanzhao, and Liu Yang are all from Nanyue Province, and among the young athletes, Wen Yongyi, Liang Jiahong and others are also from Nanyue, and it is worth mentioning that Su Feiren, the first to increase the speed of 100 meters to 9.99 seconds in the future, is also from Nanyue.

Coach Yuan of the Nanyue track and field team introduced some Hong Kong training methods to train a group of outstanding athletes, the more outstanding athletes, the better the results, and the greater the right to speak in the national team, and Nanyue is also one of the provinces with the strongest economy, so whether it is in the Athletics Association or in the General Administration of Sports, Nanyue has excellent relationships and connections.

As one of the senior leaders of the Athletics Association, Director Ma naturally knows that within the senior management of the Athletics Association, Chen Jian has basically been determined to participate in the Athens Olympic Games, which can be regarded as an honor given to the track and field team of Nanyue Province. Of course, Chen Jian's strength to participate in the Olympics is also well deserved. In the more advanced sports federation, athletes who send newspapers to various associations will also be given the green light.

"Zhang Guan is 17 years old this year, and even if he is only 22 years old at the Capital Olympics in five years, he is in his prime, and it may be too early for him to participate in the Olympics.

Between the medal and the exercise of trust, Director Ma made a decision.

I only heard Director Ma speak: "As Director Tang said, cultivating an athlete is not an overnight thing, even if it is a genius, it will take us several years to train him to become an athlete of international level, the men's 100-meter sprint, the higher the level of athletes, the more difficult it is to improve the performance of athletes, so Zhang Guan's competitive level will not be greatly improved in a short period of time." And this Zhang Guan is still very young, and he also has some uncertainties, so we won't send him out this time. Young people, there are many opportunities in the future, not at this time. ”

Director Ma said and looked at the very unwilling Yu Gui next to him, and changed his words: "But Zhang Guan broke the national record, this still needs to be awarded, I have applied for a cash reward of 100,000 yuan and a special training subsidy of 200,000 yuan to the Athletics Association, and there should be no problem for the leader to pass." And I think that Zhang Guan, a young athlete with unlimited potential, can give priority to the future capital Olympics......"

Director Yu nodded, obviously agreeing with Director Ma's words. He knows how important the Games in the capital will be in five years' time, and it will be special to be able to appear at the Bird's Nest. According to the overall plan of the Sports Federation, Director Ma will still lead the national track and field team to participate in the Capital Olympics in five years, so the priority given by Director Ma when selecting athletes for the Capital Olympics can be regarded as a suitable explanation for Zhang Guan.

……

Chen Lao was not surprised by this result, he calmly told Zhang Guan about this result, and even the reason was clear.

"If you don't go to the race, you can at least get a medal in the 4x100m relay, and if you are sent there, you won't be able to win this medal. And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that you will not be too optimistic about your participation in the Athens Olympics next year. ”

Chen Lao paused for a moment, and said very solemnly: "Xiao Zhang, you have to remember that competitive sports are so cruel, and all sportsmanship is used to talk about it, but for athletes, it is still merit-based!" For a medal in the 4x100m relay at the Asian Games, you lose your chance to compete. You may also lose your qualification for the Olympics for some reasons. If you don't want this to happen again, you have to train hard, keep getting stronger, and get results in various competitions. When you stand at the top of the world, you can really control yourself, and at that time, whether you participate or not is not up to others, but your own decision! ”

Zhang Guan nodded: "Old Chen, don't worry, that day won't be too long......"
