Chapter 218: The 400-meter Coaching War
Zhu Tianyun accompanied Mai Xiaoxiao and Liu Xi at home for a day, the next day Zhu Tianyun resumed training, and the Athletics Association repeatedly urged Zhu Tianyun to arrive in Beijing to train with the national relay team, and now the national relay team has not yet confirmed the ticket to enter the London Olympics, they hope that Zhu Tianyun will help them, and the relay team has participated in several challenges and the best result of the Diamond League without Zhu Tianyun is to enter the semi-finals, which is too far from their goal.

Zhu Tianyun originally wanted to give up the relay event, because the relay event is very difficult to win a medal in the Olympic Games, and Zhu Tianyun is now participating in a little more projects, he is applying with the IAAF to participate in the 400-meter race of the Diamond League, although it is not a diamond event, but as long as it can reach the A standard of the London Olympics, then he will let the Athletics Association help him apply for the 400-meter event of the London Olympics, so that there is room to choose to participate in the project depending on the situation, After all, China's 400 meters have not yet been able to enter the Olympic finals.
However, Coach Yuan's words moved Zhu Tianyun, the relay team's participation in the Olympic Games is a manifestation of the overall strength of track and field, since Zhu Tianyun has this ability, he should help the country realize this wish, and Coach Yuan also moved out of Coach He, Zhu Tianyun had to prepare to fly to Kyoto to train with the relay team.
In the two days since Zhu Tianyun came back, Huaxia and the media in the United States have been closely united for the first time, and the media of the two countries have fed back information on both sides of each other, Huaxia took Zhu Tianyun's interview at the airport to the United States to ask Taylor and Jennifer, surprisingly, Taylor was not angry, but said that she knew Zhu Tianyun, and she was willing to wait for Zhu Tianyun's consent to surprise the media of the two countries, but Jennifer said that she was just willing to be Zhu Tianyun's girlfriend, as long as Zhu Tianyun did not announce her marriage, then she still had a chance, This made Zhu Tianyun, who wanted to calm down this matter, a special headache.
In order to avoid the media in Kyoto, Zhu Tianyun did not directly take a plane to Kyoto, but took a plane to Tianjin, and then drove to the track and field training base on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Zhu Tianyun was brought in by the people of the Athletics Association when he arrived at the training base, and Zhu Tianyun did not go to train first, but went to Coach Yuan.
"Xiao Zhu, I think you should put too much thought into training." Coach Yuan taught a lesson as soon as he saw Zhu Tianyun.
"Coach, I know that since I came back from training in the United States, I haven't gone out and have been training." Zhu Tianyun nodded and admitted his mistake, he still had a lot of respect for Coach Yuan.
"Okay, is it a relay that you came to me first this time?" Coach Yuan asked.
"Yes, coach, when I was in the United States, I developed the 400m under the guidance of Coach Johnson, and you know that I am now juggling the 100m, the 200m, the long jump, and if I add the 400m and the relay, then I will not be able to do it." Zhu Tianyun said what he had thought about for a long time.
Coach Yuan began to think, "Xiao Zhu, I know that your 100-meter 200-meter and long jump are very strong, but I want to ask, your 400-meter is newly developed, are you sure that you will replace the relay for the newly developed project?" Is the 400m the most test of all competitions? Coach Yuan still didn't want to believe that Zhu Tianyun had only been to the United States for less than a month and had developed the 400m.
"Coach, I can run 44 seconds in the 400 meters now." After Zhu Tianyun finished speaking, Coach Yuan was stunned, you must know that 400-meter athletes who can run in 44 seconds can win medals in any competition, and the Olympic 400-meter champion in Kyoto, LaSean Merritt of the United States, is 43.75. The world champion in the 400m in Daegu was 44.61 seconds, and he knows what it means to run 44 seconds.
"Let's go and take a look." It's not that Coach Yuan doesn't want to believe it, it's really that what Zhu Tianyun said is too incredible, the Huaxia 400-meter record is 45.23 seconds set in 01, and Zhu Tianyun ran into 44 seconds, which means that he broke the Huaxia record.
When he arrived at the track and field training ground, Coach Yuan waved his hand to make all the athletes give up their positions, and Zhu Tianyun changed his clothes and began to warm up.
Several people who were familiar with Zhu Tianyun wanted to say hello to Zhu Tianyun, but they were driven away by Coach Yuan, and everyone looked at Zhu Tianyun who was warming up on the sidelines, and they didn't understand why Zhu Tianyun had to clean up the entire runway with the longest 200 meters.
"Brother Su, what is Zhu Tianyun doing?" is asking Su Bingtian is Lu Province 400m athlete Wang Weihai, his best time of 47.17 seconds, is far from reaching the Olympic B standard, because the London Olympics B standard is 45 seconds 7 seconds, A standard is 45 seconds 25 seconds, he came here to train in order to enhance their strength, and strive to get the London Olympics 400 meters of the admission ticket, although the hope is not very big.
"I don't know, looking at the position of the starting machine, it may be to test the middle and long distance running." Su Bingtian looked at several coaches fiddling with the machine and said, but in Wang Weihai's heart, there was a huge wave, it was very hopeless for them to practice 400 meters, and Zhu Tianyun wanted to intervene again.
Zhu Tianyun felt that he had fully warmed up, he nodded at Coach Yuan, Coach Yuan asked a few staff members to prepare, he stood in the middle of the field and looked at Zhu Tianyun, and at his level, he knew how fast an athlete ran by feeling alone.
With the sound of the gun Zhu Tianyun set off, Zhu Tianyun's departure speed was very fast, and he soon entered the first corner, and then under everyone's gaze, Zhu Tianyun changed his running posture, although he felt very surprised, but everyone could see that Zhu Tianyun was faster on the curve, Zhu Tianyun quickly ran half a lap, when everyone felt that Zhu Tianyun was going to slow down, Zhu Tianyun's speed did not change at all, Wang Weihai and several other athletes who practiced 400 meters looked at each other a few times, and then their eyes dimmed, They knew that Zhu Tianyun was not on the same level as them.
Coach Yuan and other coaches of the national team were also surprised, among which Coach Feng, the coach of the national team 400 meters, was even more excited, he knew that he had been a coach for so many years and finally saw a good seedling.
Zhu Tianyun ran to the finish line without slowing down, and Coach Feng snatched the timer in the hands of a coach - 43.99 seconds, which is a dream number.
Coach Yuan also walked over from the field, "How is it?" I think it's a little over 44 seconds, which is a very good result. ā
"Lao Yuan, you are wrong, Xiao Zhu's score is 43 seconds 99, I don't care, you immediately give me Zhu Tianyun, I promise to do my best to train, I will teach you, Lao Yuan, my Lao Feng has not begged you, this time you must promise me." Coach Feng grabbed Coach Yuan.
"Lao Feng, calm down, let's discuss again." Coach Yuan said helplessly.
"What are you talking about? Did you know? The 400m is a contest of hard power, but which time has the 400m entered the Olympics in China over the years? You say that I don't have the ability and I'm unwilling, how many people say that the 400 meters of the national team should be withdrawn and occupy resources, but I can't help it, I really don't have good seedlings, how many of us are easy? No one wants to waste the country's money, this time I beg you Lao Yuan, if you don't agree to me, I will go to ask the Athletics Association, I must win Xiao Zhu over. Coach Feng's eyes widened, and Coach Yuan also knew that it was not easy for Coach Feng to be a track and field coach all his life, and he couldn't even enter the preliminary round of the Olympics, but which event was not? Athletics in China is inherently weak.
"Xiao Zhu, you come." Coach Yuan simply stopped talking to Coach Feng and called Zhu Tianyun over.
"Xiao Zhu, you go and train with Xiao Su and them first, and we'll let you know when we go to a meeting." Zhu Tianyun nodded and walked to Su Bingtian's side, what else did Coach Feng have to say, and was pulled by Coach Yuan to the conference room for a meeting.
"Xiao Zhu, you are so powerful." Zhu Tianyun walked over and was surrounded.
The coach of the national team held an emergency meeting and told Zhu Tianyun what he had just told him.
"Anyway, Zhu Tianyun's long jump must not be given up, you know, the best result in the world long jump is now maintained by him." Coach Li, the head coach of the national long jump, took the lead in speaking, Zhu Tianyun's long jump strength is obvious to all, and all the coaches know in their hearts that this project is very likely to compete for a gold medal in the Olympic Games, and no one dares to say anything else.
"Zhu Tianyun's 200 meters, you can't give up, you must know that Zhu Tianyun's 200 meters is the strongest in Asia, and he beat last year's World Championships runner-up, so it is very likely to win a medal, I said this is a breakthrough in Chinese track and field." As soon as Coach Sun, who was in charge of the 200 meters, finished speaking, Coach Yang, who was in charge of the 100 meters, was not happy.
"What is the strongest in Asia in the 200m? You must know that 100 meters is Zhu Tianyun's main event, you know that Zhu Tianyun has defeated Gatling as an Olympic champion, defeated Powell as a world champion and a former world record holder, he has a speed of 9.88 seconds, this is simply a miracle of Chinese track and field, I think I can't give up 200 meters and 100 meters. As soon as Coach Yang finished speaking, Coach Sun retorted again, and the two quarreled.
"Okay, what are you 100 meters 200 meters, you just saw Zhu Tianyun's 400 meters results, anyway, I think 400 meters must not give up, you must know who Johnson is, he is the king of 400 meters, can you have his vision? Zhu Tianyun participated in the 400 meters. Coach Feng interrupted the argument between the two coaches. Then the battle between the two countries turned into a three-legged stand, and the three coaches quarreled.
"Okay, don't argue, let's discuss whether Zhu Tianyun should participate in the relay race." As soon as Coach Yuan finished speaking, the three coaches quarreled with Coach Yuan and spoke, although he was the head coach, but the other coaches were not weaker than his qualifications, and he really couldn't suppress it.
"The relay race is a waste of Zhu Tianyun's physical strength, and we resolutely disagree." The three of them actually came to an agreement.
"You must know that the leaders of the Athletics Association have repeatedly emphasized that our track and field team should attach importance to the relay and strive for victory in the team event." Before Coach Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Coach Yang.
"That's because they didn't know Zhu Tianyun's potential at that time, if they knew Zhu Tianyun's strength, they would never have issued such a decision." Coach Yuan took a breath, is this a meeting, or a market, some other coaches have nothing to do with themselves, Coach Yuan was transferred from Guangdong Province and became the head coach directly, which must make many people look down on it.
"I think do you want Zhu Tianyun to try the 800 meters? Maybe it will work. As soon as Coach Kim, who was in charge of the 800 meters, finished speaking, several coaches quarreled again.
Coach Yuan's head was big: "Don't say it, call Zhu Tianyun over and listen to what he means." A few coaches stopped talking, they knew the relationship between Coach Yuan and Zhu Tianyun.
