Chapter 79: The Death of the Flying Man
Zhang Guan immediately stepped forward, and Liu Feiren also saw Zhang Guan.
"Congratulations, you've broken the world record again!" Liu Feiren was the first to speak.
Now Zhang Guan enjoys the highest level of security treatment, whether it is food, clothing, housing or participation in the competition, it is arranged separately, and Zhang Guan's competition task is very tight, so Zhang Guan broke the world record in the 100-meter sprint the day before yesterday, and only met Liu Feiren today.
Zhang Guan was a little worried about Liu Feiren's state, because in his memory, Liu Feiren collapsed in the preliminaries and retired from the game injured.
"How does it feel?" Zhang Guan asked with some concern.
"It's okay." Liu Feiren replied immediately.
"That's not what I mean." Zhang Guan lowered his voice and then asked, "I'm talking about your injuries." ”
"It's still the same, this kind of strain injury is very common for us, athletes, more or less have some injuries on their bodies." Liu Feiren seems to be very open-minded.
But Zhang Guan shook his head, he hesitated, but still asked, "Can you play now?" ”
Liu Feiren was slightly stunned, he didn't understand what Zhang Guan meant, he thought that Zhang Guan was talking about the schedule, so he replied directly: "Of course you have to play, after your 200-meter preliminary race, it will be my turn to 110-meter hurdles." ”
"Can you really play? Doctors allow it too? Is your right Achilles tendon capable of supporting such a high level of explosive power? Zhang Guan asked several questions in a row, and at the same time subconsciously looked at Liu Feiren's right foot.
This time Liu Feiren's face finally became solemn, he looked left and right, and found that there were only him and Zhang Guan nearby, so he said, "You know so?" Did Director Ma tell you? ”
"Director Ma didn't tell me, I guessed." Zhang Guan knew that this reason would definitely not be able to make Liu Feiren believe, so he continued: "I just guessed a little, so I deliberately set you up, but I didn't expect you to admit it yourself." It looks like your injuries are really serious. What the hell is going on? ”
Liu Feiren hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "The amount of practice was a bit large a while ago, especially a few days ago, I couldn't get out of bed because of the pain, and the team doctor checked and asked me to rest for one to two months, and carry out conservative treatment." But it's about to be a game, how can you rest? ”
"Then have you ever thought about what you would do if you were forced to play, if you got hurt?" Zhang Guan said eagerly.
"As long as I can run, I have to play, I've been waiting for the Olympics for four years, and I can't give up." Liu Feiren said.
"You're gambling on your career! Achilles tendon injuries can be fatal for track and field athletes, and as long as there is a first injury, it is easy to have a second or third ...... If you do get injured in a game, even if you do, you may not be in the best shape you were in your prime. Zhang Guan then persuaded.
Liu Feiren shook his head: "This is our own Olympic Games, so for me, now is the peak, if I can win a gold medal in this Olympic Games, I am willing to exchange my career for it!" ”
"You're only 25 years old and you still have a long career ahead of you! No, I have to tell Director Ma your actual situation, and I can't let you play. Zhang Guan said.
"Director Ma once stopped me, and I strongly asked to play." Liu Feiren stepped forward and leaned in, and said very sincerely: "I know that you are for my good, but if you are really for my good, support me to compete!" Do you remember a few years ago, on an airplane, you asked me about my dreams? Now let me tell you, it is my lifelong dream to appear in the Olympic Games in my country and win a gold medal! If I miss this once, I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”
Zhang Guan was stunned, he didn't speak, he knew how important dreams were for a person. In this world, in addition to love, perhaps only dreams can make people give up everything, and even sometimes, dreams will be ranked ahead of love.
Zhang Guan did not try to persuade Liu Feiren not to play, even though he already had a premonition that the history of the tragedy would repeat itself again.
Maybe Liu Feiren will collapse on the field and then limp back to the locker room, but at least Liu Feiren has played and pursued his dreams.
Maybe one day in the future, when Liu Feiren remembers that moment again, he will feel sad and lost, but he will never feel regret, although he failed, he has fought the road of pursuing his dreams.
After all, there are too many people who don't even have the courage to embark on that path to pursue their dreams
……
At 10 a.m., the preliminaries for the men's 200-meter dash began.
The men's 200m sprint event was attended by 64 runners, so it was divided into eight groups. The top three players in the group can qualify, and in addition to the top three players in the group, the eight players with the best results can also qualify, which means that a total of 32 players can advance to the next round of semi-finals.
The 100m and 200m have a lot in common, so there is a high degree of overlap between the athletes participating in the 200m dash and the 100m dash, and of course there are some runners who give up the 100m race in order to get a good result in the 200m dash, such as Sean Crawford and Spearman in the United States, Shingo Sueji and Shinshi Takahira of Japan, etc.
Asia's track and field strength is still weak, and when it comes to the Olympic competition, because of the restrictions of Olympic performance, it is difficult for Asian athletes to meet the standards in the 100m and 200m events at the same time, and even if they can meet the standards in both events, it is difficult for Asian athletes to take into account the 100m and 200m events with the strength of Asian athletes. For example, in China and Japan, where track and field strength is relatively strong in Asia, the 100m and 200m runners are basically separated.
It is already great for an Asian country to have a player who can reach the Olympic track and field sprint A standard, while the American team has too many strong players, and too many people can reach the Olympic A standard, so they can only choose the best of the best. For example, Sean Crawford, a sprinter, was eliminated in the 100-meter qualifiers for the Olympic Games in the United States, so he only participated in one 200-meter sprint event.
Another sprint powerhouse, Jamaica, Powell is also not good at running the 200 meters, so he did not appear on the field, and Bolt led the other two Jamaican runners in the competition. Bolt's main event is the 200-meter dash, so his 200-meter is obviously better than the 100-meter. So in this event, Bolt is still the door to winning the championship
This time Zhang Guan was divided into the eighth group, that is, the last group to play, there are still no strong players in the same group, except for Zhang Guan, the others in this group are afraid that they can't even run for 20 seconds. (To be continued.) )
