Chapter 118: The Olympics End
Chen Mingming's celebration went late into the evening, and the gold medal was a blessing for the entire track and field team.
Chen Mingliang himself is also very happy, the process of winning the award is easy, but the waiting process is not easy.
I can finally have a break, and my nerves were too tight some time ago.
Seeing his teammates, coaches, and staff all happy from the bottom of his heart, he felt that his hard work was worth it.
The celebration lasted late, but everyone didn't drink and didn't want to make a mistake.
In the evening, Coach Chen specially called Chen Mingliang to his room for face-to-face teaching.
"Mingming, your game is actually not over yet, you will also play in the men's 4*100m relay tomorrow"
"Will Coach Du agree, I heard that whoever wants to play in his place will have to pay money."
"This is the arrangement of the leadership, and it is also the voice of the people of the whole country, if the Olympic silver medalists cannot participate in the relay, they will be scolded if they say it."
"Okay coach, I'm fine."
"You, don't be so big-hearted, it's not as simple as just letting you run the relay, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you specifically."
"It's so complicated, I just run seriously, I won't cheat and play tricks, although it's unpleasant with Coach Du, but I won't think crookedly on this."
"If you don't move, others will move"
Coach Chen hated iron a little bit.
"The relay is not something you can run seriously, it is estimated that there will be a coordination meeting tomorrow, and you will insist on running the first stick when the time comes."
"Why don't I run the last stick, maybe I can splice my sprint ability and chase a few more people."
"Under normal circumstances, this is true, but what if the last stick is not handed over well, what if the third stick deliberately can't catch up with you, and what if you deliberately make a mistake when handing over the baton?"
"Oh, no, it's the Olympics."
"Besides, mistakes are inevitable, the second and third sticks are different mistakes."
"That's different, the second and third bats will definitely not let you run, but the fourth baton Coach Du will definitely hand it over to you, you must not take it, you know your relationship with him."
"Are you saying that mistakes are going to happen, and then you're going to put the blame on me?
"Yes, and it will be said that you did not obey the command and ruined the good situation."
"It's the Olympics, don't they want results?"
Yes, this is the Olympics, the question is whether the relay team has a result. ”
"In case of a mistake, even if the responsibility is not yours, the responsibility must be borne by you. The RB team is not strong, but they are very strong in the relay and can always reach the finals, we have Olympic silver medalists, but they can't get into the finals, what the media says, what the audience says. ”
"Your reputation will be damaged, not to mention turning from a hero to a sinner, at least it will be greatly reduced."
"Okay, Coach, then I'll be the first runner."
"That's right, you run the first stick, run with all your might, and strive to get a little more advantage, which can be regarded as doing your best for the country. If the athlete runs well, he will enter the final, and if he doesn't run well, it is not your responsibility. ”
"Some people can bribe the head coach to play and don't expect them to have integrity."
"Okay, thank you, coach."
"Then you get some rest early."
The next day, sure enough, the track and field team was going to hold a coordination meeting. The leaders of the track and field team, the deputy leader of the national team and other leaders were there, and first congratulated Chen Mingliang on winning the silver medal in the 100m and the gold medal in the 800m. Then he said that he would wait until he went back to hold a special celebration party, and now it is not easy, and now there is a 4*100-meter relay, and we will also fight for it.
Coach Du began to make arrangements.
"We have been training intensively for more than half a year in the men's 4*100m, and the team members are very familiar with each other and cooperate tacitly. In order to maximize Chen Mingming's advantages, I suggest that Chen run the fourth base, so that he can give full play to his sprinting ability and the race will be more certain. ”
"Sure enough, what Coach Chen said yesterday was right, this Coach Du is really true."
"Does anyone think differently?"
"I have!" Chen Mingliang raised his hand
Coach Du just wanted to refute him, but suddenly remembered that this is no longer an ordinary athlete, he is a meritorious athlete, and he can't use a bad attitude.
"Classmate Chen, you speak."
"I felt like I should have run the first base, and I had a reason. First, I had the best start reflexes, and so far, no one has had a faster start than me; Second, I didn't usually practice relays, so I could only run 1 or 4 strokes. But what if I run the fourth base, what if my teammate at the third stick can't catch up with me by then, and I can't catch the baton? I ran the first bat, and I just had to put the stick in the hands of my teammates, and I believed I could catch up with my teammates. ”
"Chen, you have to start from the overall situation, run the fourth stick to give full play to your speed advantage, even if the first stick has a lead, it will be worn out later."
"I ran fourth, and it was the same result if the gap was too big."
"Student Chen, you have to obey the arrangement of the coaching staff, let you run the first few sticks, you will run the first few sticks, if you don't want to run, no one will let you!"
At this time, the leader spoke. "Let Chen run the first baton, his appearance in the relay field is to take into account the overall situation, he ran out of the advantage, you can't hold it, this is ability." No one is to blame. ”
"Yes"
This surnamed Du has to be bad at the last moment.
On September 29, the men's 4*100m preliminaries began.
Chen Mingliang ran the first lane, he really played very well, the first start, leading all the way, and then handing the stick to the next athlete, the whole process was smooth and not disjointed.
However, the Chinese team still finished third in the group and missed the final.
At this time, it is indeed the weakest time for the Chinese track and field team, a little green, if it weren't for Chen Mingming, it would be really a thousand horses.
The 30th was the last day of the Olympic competition, and the women's race walking team finally won the last gold medal.
However, it was not Chen Hongyu, the first sister of the World Championships, who won the award, she was sent off for a foul. The winner of the award was a newcomer, Wang Liping.
It's a big joy for all.
The Chinese delegation won a total of 29 golds, 17 silvers and 15 bronzes in the 27th XN Olympic Games, setting a new high in both the gold medal table and the overall medal table since participating in the Summer Olympics.
Closing ceremony on October 1.
On October 2, the last group of athletes, coaches, and staff left XN on a charter flight. Smoothly return to the capital.
The delegation received a cordial reception from the state leaders at the Nanting Airport in Beijing, and Chen Mingliang, as a representative of the athletes, accepted the flowers sent by the masses.
After returning to China, the athletes will be disbanded on the spot, and they will assemble again after the National Day holiday, and there will be Hong Kong and Macao tours after summing up the lessons learned.
At the moment when the people who eat melons are still enthusiastically discussing the rise of our track and field, the Olympic Games have finally come to an end.
In fact, from the beginning of the return trip, people from all walks of life began to give Chen Mingliang a face-to-face lecture, which is a bit of etiquette training before entering the palace in ancient times.
It's time to start the Life dungeon.
