Chapter 106: The Turmoil of Olympic Registration
On April 16, 2000, the Nanjing Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix was successfully concluded.
Chen Mingliang won the first place without dispute, and the Olympic trials are basically over.
Especially in athletics, the new star of the discovery has long been discovered. From last year to this year, the biggest gain in the track and field world is the discovery of Chen Mingming, who is like a dazzling star, and other people with small achievements seem to be bleak.
In this Olympic Games, the task assigned by the national team to the track and field team is not light: 2 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals, a total of 5 medals.
It's still a lot of pressure to accomplish this task.
But it's not unfounded.
If he plays well, Chen Mingliang has the hope of hitting the gold medal; The women's 20km race walk has a greater certainty of winning a gold medal; It is also possible to win another silver medal in race walking.
Then the shot put, hammer throw and long jump all have a certain impact.
No way, we are not like the American team, they won 10 gold medals is a failure, if China can win 10 medals, it is a super level of performance that cannot be achieved.
When discussing the Olympic goals, everyone consciously or unintentionally counted Chen Mingming's gold medal. If you don't go in, you can't help it, there is really no talent to take it.
At this time, Coach Du of the sprint team spoke: "In order to ensure that Chen Mingming's 800 meters can win the championship smoothly, our sprint team is willing to make sacrifices, don't let him be distracted, don't let him participate in the 100 meters." ”
"The gap between us and the world's top in the sprint is so big that it would be a waste of energy to let him participate, so we might as well go all out to ensure the 800m progress."
The leader feels that there is some truth.
"Who is Chen Mingming's head coach?" The leader spoke.
"It's me," Coach Chen answered.
"What do you think of the coach's proposal?"
"I think Chen Mingliang is in good shape, and he can run the best results of the year several times during the team test, but after all, it is the Olympic Games, and it is impossible to win the championship."
"Of course, this year's global results are not good, but also because the Olympics are imminent, and many masters are recuperating."
"I don't think I can give up in the 100m, he has been very close to 10 seconds in these national Grand Prix, and the team has already run in 10 seconds."
"If, at the Olympics, he can run 10 seconds in the 100 meters, even if he can't win the championship in the 800 meters, the outside world will not cause bad public opinion on our track and field team."
"Makes sense, too." Leaders need to think thoughtfully.
The other coaches are watching the hilarity:
This is the first time this kind of thing has happened in China, and the sprint coach does not let the athletes participate in the sprint competition, but the middle and long-distance running coach insists on the athletes participating in the sprint competition.
"This matter will be put on hold first, go back and ask the athletes' opinions, let's not be arbitrary, after all, Chen Mingliang is the first place in the 100 meters in China, rashly not let him participate, the domestic public opinion is really bad, if the Olympics can enter 10 seconds, this is a good result, even if the other can not win the gold, it is also a propaganda point."
The leader set the tone, and the meeting ended like this.
On the day of the meeting, Chen Mingliang was training, and the assistant coach of the national team sprint group came to inform him: Coach Du, the head coach of the national team sprint group, was looking for him.
Chen Mingliang went to the appointment on time.
"Hello Chen, I am the coach of the national team sprint group, and my surname is Du."
"Hello Coach Du." Chen Mingxin said I already knew who you were, what kind of garlic to pretend.
"Student Chen, first of all, congratulations on your excellent results in both the 100m and 800m."
"Thank you, as long as it's sincere congratulations, I'm very grateful."
"Student Chen, I have a question, you answer truthfully, do you like 100 meters or 800 meters?"
"I like them all, I can't say I like them more, as long as the country needs it, I am duty-bound. Whether it's 100m or 800m, I'm going to give it my all. Chen Mingliang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Coach Du's gourd.
"If the country thinks that in order to ensure that you can achieve good results in the 800 meters, it persuades you to give up the 100 meters, what do you think, can you accept it?"
"No, are you officially informing me, are you not letting me participate in the 100 meters?"
"No, this is discussing with you, and if you agree, we will announce it to the outside world." Coach Du is a good look for you.
"I don't agree, I think I can take care of these two events, I've seen the schedule, and it doesn't conflict, I don't know where Coach Du's assertion of giving up 100 meters for the sake of 800 meters came from." Chen Mingliang was already a little angry, this surnamed Du really didn't hold back his fart, he caused himself several obstacles.
Instead, Coach Du felt that he was in a high spirit.
"Then have you ever thought about moving to the sprint team, after all, you yourself have said that 100 meters is your main event."
"No need, I'm more comfortable training with Coach Chen."
"But the training conditions of the sprint team are better, and the coaches are more professional!"
"The training conditions are all the same, we have one base, where is the difference. I don't think so if the coach is more professional. In the past, our Dongshan team also recommended me to join the sprint team, but I didn't know that I was disturbed by that bastard, so I was asked to come over, and when I got to the door, I said that there was no such thing at all, so shamelessly. ”
Chen Mingliang pointed at Sang and scolded Huai there.
Coach Du was very thick-skinned, "Is there such a thing?" Whoever did it, I'll deal with him seriously! ”。
"Thank you, Coach Du, there are some people who don't do things in human skin. There are always such people, who can't do the right thing, and they are first-class, and I am afraid that there will be such people in the sprint team, so I dare not come, and the long-distance running team is more familiar. ”
Chen Mingliang said more directly, you have directly targeted me several times, why should I be polite to you.
"Well, classmate Chen will think about it again when he goes back, and you are welcome to report on the sprint team at any time when you figure it out."
"Coach Nadu goodbye, let me say in advance, if I achieve results in the 100 meters, it has nothing to do with the sprint team, whether it is in the face of the leader or the media, I will say so, don't let the outside world misspread the news, I will correct it."
"Don't you want to be in the relay?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll listen to Coach Chen's arrangement."
"You go!" ”
"Bye-bye!"
Chen Mingliang has been holding his breath for more than a year, and it is so refreshing to say this!
didn't wait for the evening, he turned his head and told Yin Chao about it.
Yin Chao also said happily, I have long seen that this old miscellaneous hair is not pleasing to the eye, but I don't have a chance, let's find time to design him seriously.
Sure enough, it's not that simple. Not long after, Coach Chen also found Chen Mingliang and talked about his differences in the national team.
Then said that someone would ask for his opinion in the near future.
Only then did Chen Mingliang know that this surnamed Du was really bad, and he wanted to make a yin move in advance, but he couldn't make a yin move, and he wanted to use other tricks, which was really insightful.
Fortunately, he naturally rejected him with his own heart, otherwise he would have thought he was a good person.
