Chapter 548: Semifinals

The result of the table tennis competition was naturally no surprise, and the Chinese team easily won the gold medal of the team 3:0.

Since August 17, the Chinese delegation has won eight gold medals in a single day at the Beijing Olympics, and our total number of gold medals has surpassed the previous Athens Olympics, which is a result that no one expected.

What is called "the spring breeze is proud, once you see all the Chang'an flowers," just look at the gold medal list of our Olympic Games.

Chen Mingliang was ready to leave the court after congratulating Coach Liu, this is the gold medal moment of men's table tennis, and he doesn't want to steal too much limelight from the table tennis team.

After all, Chen Mingliang still has a game tomorrow, and he still needs to rest well, and he must be reluctant and not too prodigal.

The media will not let him go easily.

"I still have the 200m semi-finals tomorrow, the rest of the schedule is still relatively tight, I have to go back to the Olympic Village, today is also a difficult time off to come out, now that the competition is over, of course I have to rush back immediately."

Chen Mingliang said this to the media, but the media is persevering, such a topic focus, naturally can be interviewed more.

But fortunately, they all care about Chen Mingliang more, and they are afraid that he will be tired and will not show too much, at most they will follow Chen Mingliang back to the Olympic Village and do interviews along the way.

In fact, Chen Mingliang only had one race on August 19, and that was the men's 200m semifinals at 21:25.

For Chen Mingming, August 19 is not a test, August 20 is.

There were two races on the 20th, first at 19:00 with the men's 800m heats, and then at 22:25 with the men's 200m final, with Bolt's strong challenge, which is the event that really needs serious preparation.

Since the Olympic schedule came out, Chen Mingliang's team has carefully studied the entire schedule.

In fact, this arrangement is relatively very reasonable, after all, we are the host, everything is designed in advance according to demand, and Chen Mingming's game schedule is definitely not intensive.

However, Chen Mingliang has participated in so many events in this Olympic Games, and it is inevitable that there will be two competitions a day or three competitions a day.

After all, there are too many concurrents, and it is too much for an individual to bear.

This is the same as that, the fledgling young man can be 8 times a night, almost all night without rest, but when he is older, he can keep it twice a night, and the other party is not his wife nine times out of ten.

So the body needs to be hungry.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Mingliang usually participates in very few competitions, and even if he participates in the competition, he will not participate in all events, so his physical fitness and physical condition have always been protected very well.

Chen Mingming's coaching team believes in science more, and Chen Mingliang has a lot of voice in training, and the main thing is that Chen Mingliang has made too much money through the golden finger, so that he doesn't pay much attention to bonuses and appearance fees when he participates.

Even, now, he doesn't even pay so much attention to endorsement fees.

Chen Mingliang is a semi-invisible super-rich man.

Everyone knows that he is rich, but everyone doesn't know how much money Chen Mingliang has.

On the Forbes list, Chen Mingliang is at the top of the wealth list and the celebrity list, but these are valuations, and Chen Mingming's wealth is more of an investment, which is not transparent.

is too rich, what can you do if you don't do charity, for the rich or not? Learn from Li Superman, short China, buy the UK, and then come back with a face when you are almost 90 years old.

Chen Mingliang doesn't care about this, just enjoy his sports career, he can only have a longer sports life if he better protects himself.

In fact, the damage to the body function of an athlete who tries his best is simply immeasurable, so it is a protection for the sports career to be able to not challenge the physiological limit or try to do these stupid things as little as possible.

Liu Feiren's situation is a little different, although he only has the 110-meter hurdles, he only runs three or four shots in the competition.

However, there are too many competitions he usually participates in.

It's just a substitute training for a competition, joking about a sports career.

Regardless of the level of competition, the results usually seem to be very good, and the individual ranking is also very good, but the pressure on the body is not small, and if this continues, the body will have big problems sooner or later.

For athletes, it has always been impossible to avoid the problem that for the sake of honor, or for their own sake or for the selfishness or vanity of coaches, they have to carry out some training and competitions beyond their own ability and overload.

Everyone can actually imagine the consequences of this, but they don't want to admit it.

Only if it will cause some irreversible damage to the body, will it be regretted.

Personal honors, national honors, as well as all kinds of bright futures, are pushing athletes forward unconsciously.

I can't let go when I should give up, and that's the most important thing.

It was the night of August 19, 2008.

The Bird's Nest is still the Bird's Nest of the steel structure, and the National Stadium is still lively and brightly lit, with 91,000 spectators sitting in the audience seats, waiting to be fed.

Although the track and field competition has been going on for several days, the enthusiasm of the spectators continues to be high.

I'll be watching again tonight!

The quarterfinals of the men's 110m hurdles and the semifinals of the men's 200m will be held!

This is another game that everyone has not seen in a long time, although I just watched a similar scene the day before yesterday, but it was a group stage, and there is no gold content in this.

At 20:45 tonight, the quarterfinals of the men's 110m hurdles will be staged as scheduled.

Because Liu Feiren's performance in the last preliminaries, everyone did not see any other clues, so they are also full of expectations for this game.

On the warm-up field, Liu Xiang initially ended the warm-up and began to change his running shoes to prepare for the game.

The images on the TV kept switching, and soon locked on the entrance of the athletes, who were all waiting.

Chen Mingming's competition time was relatively late, and after he finished warming up, he lay down on a TV, thinking about watching Liu Feiren's game while massaging, and then going to change clothes, anyway, there was still plenty of time.

Liu Feiren followed the crowd out of the athletes' tunnel, and the scene immediately applauded.

It turned out that this applause did not belong to Chen Mingliang alone.

Liu Xiang walked to his fourth lane, and he began to undress.

However, through the TV screen and the big screen, the audience still saw a difference: Liu Xiang had a relatively wide yellow tape on the Achilles tendon of his right foot, extending from the sole of his foot all the way up, and the length was more than 30 centimeters.

What's to be done?

Suddenly, everyone began to have a bad premonition.

Is Liu Xiang injured?

Liu Xiang is really injured!

In fact, as early as 6 months ago, in order to prepare for the Olympics, the coaching staff had gradually pushed up Liu Feiren's training intensity, but Liu's foot then had a painful reaction.

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

CT scans showed that calcified patches had begun to appear in his ankles, which resembled bone hyperplasia, an accumulation of sports injuries.

However, in order to ensure that they can participate in the Olympics, they have been engaged in palliative care.

However, at the New York Grand Prix in June, they eventually forfeit.

Because there were Chinese people who chartered two stands at the scene, in order not to disappoint the audience, Liu Feiren stood in the center of the venue and said a few words of thanks, but Chen Mingliang did not come to participate in this Grand Prix at all.

Chen Mingming's participation in the competition has always been very Buddha-like, free and unfathomable.

Liu Xiang's plan to participate in the competition is different, it is very intensive, and there are competitions almost every month, so the frequency of the news can keep up with Chen Mingming's footsteps.

However, most of Liu Xiangshang's news is sports news, while Chen Mingming's offseason is more entertainment news, and he is still half of the entertainment industry, known as the son-in-law of the entertainment industry.

Liu Xiang's coaching staff has been hesitant to make Liu Feiren's injury public, and at this time, Cuban teenager Robles broke Liu Xiang's world record of 12.88 seconds, which is really hard to say.

After all, it's hard to say.

The closer the game gets, the more difficult it is to talk about the injury.

Just when he was preparing for the event, Liu Xiang "didn't say a word" and was very focused.

The coach carried his legs and stretched his muscles, and even Shi Dongpeng, who also needed to compete, was on his side to help prevent Liu Feiren from standing unsteadily and falling.

Everyone else kept a certain distance, and even Chen Mingliang hid far away, not wanting to disturb their preparations.

"It's time, it's time to check in." In the end, it was Dashi who broke the silence.

After three roll calls, Liu Xiang began to change his clothes, picked up his bag, high-fived everyone, and then walked out of the passage.

And Chen Mingliang watched from a distance, and he also had his own warm-up actions to do.

After Liu Xiang came out, the TV picture locked on him tightly.

Liu Xiang took off his coat and sports trousers normally and practiced hurdles.

However, after crossing the three hurdles, Liu Feiren actually began to limp, and his feet began to hurt.

Liu Xiang's expression on the TV screen was a little painful, while the expressions of the others were a little anxious.

Sure enough, history can't be hidden.

Avoided the group stage, but couldn't avoid the rematch.

Chen Mingliang felt the strength of the masseuse, and was a little afraid to watch the TV broadcast.

Liu Feiren's game has begun!

Liu Xiang can be regarded as a normal start, he used the first hurdle on his left foot.

.......

And then

The railing fell.

Liu Xiang failed.

His right foot was no longer able to exert force.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone did not react to what was happening at the scene.

But that's how it all happened.

There are no replays, and the same goes for replays.

The 110m hurdles were followed by the men's 200m semi-finals, and the interval between the two races was so short that the spectators had not even been freed from Liu Xiang's retirement, and Chen Mingliang had already started to play.

......

The audience still couldn't accept it for a while.

They also feel that the Chinese team still has hope of winning the championship in the 110-meter hurdles, but now only Shi Dongpeng has entered the semi-finals, and this hope is no longer visible.

If Shi Dongpeng counterattacks to win the championship now, it will be another book.

The leaders of the national team finally couldn't sit still, and they came to the rest area where Chen Mingliang was located.

Chen Mingliang was stretching and didn't care about the nervous appearance of the leaders.

Of course, the leaders' eyes were very nervous, and they were afraid that Chen Mingliang would also lose the chain.

In the end, the big leader was more personable, he stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Mingming, "Xiao Chen, you just do what you can, don't put too much pressure on yourself, anyway, there are already two gold medals, it's enough." ”

In fact, Chen Mingliang didn't have any pressure, but he was brought a lot of pressure by these people.

The national team naturally has high hopes for Chen Mingming's performance.

Especially since they knew that Liu Feiren was injured before the game, more people put their expectations on Chen Mingming.

And Chen Mingliang did not live up to everyone's expectations of him, not only won the men's 100-meter gold medal, known as the flower of the Olympics, but also won the gold medal in the men's long jump easily.

However, everyone also understands that Chen Mingming's burden is still very heavy.

He also has three events to compete in the men's 200m, men's 800m and men's 4*100m relay, and two events are also aiming to win gold, and one event is to complete a breakthrough.

These pressures are all on Chen Mingming's own, and there is really no room for negligence.

For this reason, the national team gave special care when allocating dormitories, they arranged a separate accommodation for Chen Mingming, and he occupied a unit by himself, not to mention the upper and lower floors, and even the athletes in the next building were warned not to harass Chen Mingliang and to strictly abide by discipline.

Chen Mingliang's treatment is simply a national treasure.

As long as you can produce results, everything else is easy to say.

Chen Mingliang performed extremely strong on the field of competition in the last Olympic Games, and he also enjoyed great care off the court.

When Chen Mingliang was resting, the leaders didn't dare to watch TV in the living room, nor did they dare to speak loudly, for fear of alarming Chen Mingliang and affecting his performance.

This is especially true of the Games.

Because, this Olympic Games, Chen Mingliang is aiming to make history, and his goal is to win 4 gold medals!

There are still a few track and field athletes who have won three gold medals, but four gold medals, which is unique in the entire history of the Olympic Games.

If Chen Mingliang really won 4 gold medals, this result would be even more shocking than Feiyu's 8 swimming gold medals.

The semi-finals of the men's 200m are finally about to begin.

The 25-year-old Chen Mingliang is at the peak of his physical strength and athletic career, if he misses this Olympic Games, no one knows what will happen to London in four years, even if he is still in shape, whether he can hit 4 gold medals at the same time, this is something that no one dares to pack, especially Chen Mingliang is now facing a strong challenge from Usain Bolt.

"I went."

Chen Mingliang didn't have anything else to say.

This appearance may be affected by Liu Feiren's retirement, he feels that he is no longer competing alone, and he has more expectations.

Come on, pig killer!
