The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2277 Taking one person to the top requires a system; taking an entire industry to the top requires science.

Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

The venue for this World Championships is the Luzhniki Stadium, the main venue for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

This giant stadium, which can hold 9 people, has been in operation for nearly 57 years.

In preparation for hosting this World Championships, Luzhniki Stadium began partial renovations last year. The former red running track has been replaced with a more technologically advanced light blue synthetic track, and the spectator stands have also been maintained and updated. Some new facilities and functions have also been added to the stadium.

It's worth mentioning that this was also the venue for the opening match and final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

On the opening day.

Moscow has become a massive online meetup for track and field fans from all over the world.

The area around Luzhniki Stadium was completely congested from the afternoon onwards. The subway entrances and bus stops were packed with people, and you could hear English, Spanish, and Arabic spoken everywhere – it was a veritable linguistic melting pot.

Many foreign friends are wearing their national team uniforms, with cameras around their necks, waving their national flags and taking photos with strangers all over the world, showing off their cool and confident side.

The atmosphere outside the venue was also fantastic! The temporary souvenir stalls were packed with people, and World Championship limited edition T-shirts, hats with silhouettes of Suarez and Bolt, and giant commemorative coins that could be used as bricks were all hot items.

An elderly Russian man was selling matryoshka dolls at a stall. Each doll was decorated with a different track and field event, such as hurdles, javelin, and pole vaulting. His creativity was off the charts.

The most amazing thing was the volunteers on site; they all acted like Ling Zhilin.

blonde hair, blue eyes, and long legs.

That imposing figure is truly a sight to behold, appearing as a mountain range from any angle.

It made so many men laugh out loud.

Don't worry about whether Russians gain weight after marriage.

Before getting married.

They are truly a series of beautiful sights.

Just as dusk was falling, the stadium suddenly went completely dark in an instant.

The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat. Everyone craned their necks to stare at the stage, the air thick with anticipation.

Just when everyone was about to burst out laughing, a loud "boom" rang out, and fireworks outside the venue exploded into the sky.

Colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky, turning the stadium into a fairytale world, and the entire stadium erupted in screams and cheers.

Although it can't compare to our fireworks technology.

However, they are considered excellent in the history of the World Championships in Europe and America.

Furthermore, they incorporated the aesthetics of the former Soviet Union into it, which, although somewhat rough, is full of a violent aesthetic.

It's obviously made by Russians.

It's just different.

The climate is characterized by folk music and a variety of other performances.

I don't understand anything else.

Anyway, when the atmosphere gets lively, everyone shouts "Hurrah!"

That's always right.

Overall, it was quite lively.

It's different from the sordid way of doing things in a quiet life; at least the air here is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

It means happiness literally, without any implied meaning.

The Russians really make a big splash when they get going.

He rarely had happy moments, because someone would soon cause trouble for him.

The one leading the group was Amelika.

Their famous magazine, Sports Illustrated.

Suddenly, this message was released that evening—

They claimed that traditional Chinese medicine could cause positive test results.

Just as it happened in history.

Amelia is a leopard that can't change its spots.

But there's no need for us to step forward and refute this.

It has already been dealt with.

WADA, or the World Anti-Doping Agency.

He was the first to speak.

Such a claim is completely unfounded; at least for now, the World Anti-Doping Agency does not have such a standard.

President of the World Anti-Doping Agency, Banka.

It was explained very clearly.

Without solid evidence, making such a statement would be considered a deliberate frame-up.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) relies entirely on evidence.

Ignore speculation.

Perhaps they will come out to support us, or perhaps they will remain silent.

But even when people come out to clarify the truth, they are often not this swift and decisive.

That's not efficient enough.

The reason this time is completely different is...

The simplest reason is—

Their biggest financial backer has now become Su Shen.

The key point is that the treatment they offer is indeed quite good.

Moreover, unlike the sponsorship from Amelica, which required giving kickbacks to Commissioner Smith at every level.

It was like a gentle breeze.

Everyone is comfortable.

Naturally, one must protect one's financial backers.

They take money and do things.

Protect the financial backers.

This is in capitalist societies.

It is absolutely the most legitimate and proper behavior.

No one has any right to blame.

Otherwise, you'll have to pay me.

You are unwilling to make a real financial investment.

Who's going to talk for you these days?
Capitalism would be even less likely to listen.

This whole operation left Su Shen completely bewildered; he had originally prepared a press release.

After all, this incident left a deep impression on him, so he had to remember at least a little bit about it.

Then he can take it out and have a good exchange with Emilia.

However, it seems that neither the IAAF nor the anti-doping organization is giving him this opportunity.

After the anti-doping organization expressed its opinion, the IAAF also liked the post on Twitter.

This immediately caused quite a stir.

But don't ask.

Ask and someone will answer.

It was just a slip of the hand from one of their interns.

That's right, it was a slip of the hand.

That's it.

Anyway, the controversy quickly faded away thanks to the joint statement from the IAAF and the Anti-Doping Agency.

There was nothing similar to the previous life.

They caused so much trouble.

This is also why Suarez has integrated the entire track and field circle and the track and field industry.

Otherwise, don't think they're really that fair and would jump out to speak for us so quickly.

The nature of Europeans and Americans.

Now we're starting to understand it better and better.

Not to mention Su Shen, who spans two eras.

……

The next day.

According to the prize money distribution plan announced by the IAAF, the total prize money for this World Championships is US$71,904,000, and athletes who break the world record will receive an additional US$1 million record-breaking bonus.

The amount of this bonus.

Compared to the original timeline.

It's 10 times higher.

It's clear that this year, both Moscow and the IAAF are...

Everyone wants to make a name for themselves.

It's more than half as much again as it is in Daegu.

Last time in Daegu, we also achieved a great result of winning multiple gold medals, almost the same as our result in Stuttgart in 93.

We have now won a total of 14 gold medals.

There are three more of these than on the original timeline.

Without further ado, let the competition begin.

The athletes are already eager to compete.

After all, this isn't the Olympics.

There are no events other than track and field.

This is a top-level competition specifically for track and field athletes.

Everything is track and field.

There are no exceptions.

The women's discus qualifying rounds started first.

The match will be held at Luzhniki Stadium.

In the women's discus qualifying round, Chinese youngster Gu Siyu failed to achieve a valid score, Su Xinyue was eliminated, and only Tan Jian advanced to the final.

In the women's discus qualifying group A, Chinese athlete Gu Siyu was the fifth to compete. Gu Siyu had achieved a personal best of 67.86 meters this year. If she had performed normally, reaching the qualifying mark of 63 meters and entering the final would not have been a problem. However, unfortunately, the young Gu Siyu performed poorly today, committing fouls in all three throws and failing to achieve a valid result, thus missing out on the final.

B组比赛中谭建和苏欣悦两人出战，谭建今年最好成绩为64米40，苏欣悦今年也创造了61米67的个人最好成绩。比赛中第一次投掷谭建成绩为62米57，第二次投掷谭建非常稳健、投出63米21的成绩达到63米及格线、顺利晋级决赛。值得一提的是，谭建的晋级成绩比德国名将穆勒的成绩还高出5厘米。另一名小将苏欣悦第一次投掷成绩54米14、第二次试投成绩为54米76、第三次成绩为56米87，未能进入决赛。

其他几位国外名将中：古巴名将巴里奥斯仅用一次试投就轻松以63米63排名A组第一、轻松晋级决赛；克罗地亚的佩尔科维奇也仅用一次试投就以63米62排名B组第一晋级决赛，德国名将穆勒也轻松以63米16晋级决赛。

Then in the pole vault, Xue Changrui advanced to the finals, while Yang Yansheng and Zhang Wei were eliminated.

In the men's pole vault qualifying round, Chinese athlete Xue Changrui ranked 12th with a jump of 5.55 meters, advancing to the final as the last qualifyer. The other two Chinese athletes, Yang Yansheng and Zhang Wei, failed to advance. Yang Yansheng, the national record holder, ranked 31st with a jump of 5.25 meters, while Zhang Wei failed all three attempts at the first height of 5.25 meters, ultimately finishing without a score.

The best qualifying results were achieved by Czech athlete Kudlika and Frenchman Lavillenie, both with a jump of 5.65 meters. American Volker, German athlete Malte Mohr, and Greek athlete Felipidis tied for third place with a jump of 5.55 meters.

It's like we suffered heavy losses right from the start.

Several events almost didn't even make it to the second round. Then there was the marathon.

A total of 72 runners participated in the marathon at the Moscow World Championships, including five from China: Cao Mojie, Ding Changqin, He Yinli, Jia Chaofeng, and Wei Xiaojie. The race officially began at 2 PM local time in Russia. The Chinese team clearly adopted a group strategy, with the five running closely together from the start. However, the pace of the World Championships is different from other races, and the small group quickly separated.

When they reached the 5-kilometer mark, Cao Mojie, Ding Changqin, and Jia Chaofeng were still together and in the leading group.

However, the race took a dramatic turn. Jia Chaofeng struggled to maintain her high speed, and other runners began to catch up. Ding Changqin, on the other hand, began to show her ability in the second half of the race. By the 30km mark, Ding Changqin had risen to 9th place, while Jia Chaofeng had fallen to 21st. Jia Chaofeng then couldn't sustain the pace and withdrew from the race. By the 35km mark, although the top four leaders remained the same, the dynamics had shifted significantly. 37-year-old Straneo and 33-year-old Kipragat had pulled away from all their rivals, finishing the 35km mark in 2 hours, 01 minute, and 5 seconds, at least a minute ahead of Melkam and Fuji Kayoko.

Ding Changqin also dropped out of the top 10, ranking 15th.

In the final stage of the competition, Straneo and Gipragat were neck and neck, vying for the lead. At the 40-kilometer mark, both had a time of 2 hours, 18 minutes and 22 seconds.

However, African athletes undoubtedly have a natural advantage in long-distance running. In the final sprint, Kipragat was faster and ultimately won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 58 seconds.

Straneo finished as runner-up with a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 58 seconds.

Kayoko Fuji finished third with a time of 2 hours, 27 minutes and 45 seconds.

Of the five athletes on the Chinese team—

贾超风何引丽中途弃赛，丁常琴以2小时40分13秒获得第19名，魏小杰以2小时46分46秒获得第28名，曹茉婕以2小时49分15秒获得第34名。

This is equivalent to the initial expectation of winning a medal.

In the end, they didn't get anything, and the gap was even huge.

It's bigger than expected.

And so, the first gold medal of the World Championships was won. Kiplagat took the title.

"China's women's marathon is currently in a transitional phase, but I believe that with some accumulation, China's women's marathon will strive for excellence."

Post-match press conference.

Yu Weili said:
"This is the first time I've competed at this time. 2 p.m. is when the sun is strongest and the temperature is highest. This is a huge challenge for marathon runners. The hot and humid weather can easily cause physical discomfort for athletes, which is something we athletes are not yet prepared for."

"Fortunately, there are still a few adjustments to be made before the World Championships in Beijing."

"When preparing domestically, we deliberately chose to train at 2 pm, but we didn't encounter such hot weather. Also, the training course was only about 36 kilometers, which is shorter than the World Championships course."

"this means……"

"Of course, in my opinion, the lack of adaptation to the weather actually reflects the lack of experience and technical and tactical deficiencies of the young athletes. Apart from Jia Chaofeng, the other four Chinese girls were participating in the World Championships for the first time. Facing opponents with better results than themselves, our girls adopted a follow-up strategy in the race. In the initial stage, Jia Chaofeng and Ding Changqin were always in the leading group, but they could not keep up in the middle and later stages and failed to achieve the goal of finishing in the top three."

"Overall, we are still newcomers and lack ability and experience. We hope to accumulate experience in future competitions."

"The next World Athletics Championships will be held in Beijing. As the host city, we believe that our women's marathon will achieve a new breakthrough after two years of preparation."

Yu Weili is currently leading the team as the head coach.

The things that Toyoki Isamu used to have to do.

Now it's his turn.

The reason for discussing marathons separately is that our women's marathon has always been in a relatively good position worldwide.

for example.

We've been in the top eight in the world since 2005.

There is no dispute about this.

this time.

This is the first time that no one from our women's marathon has made it into the top eight at the World Championships.

In other words, this project has always been considered quite competitive for us, but this time we didn't even make it into the top eight.

They dropped to almost 20th place.

There's definitely something wrong with this.

In the history of this event at the World Championships, only Kenyan athlete Ndereba has won twice. She first won at the 2003 Paris World Championships with a time of 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 55 seconds. Two years later at the Helsinki World Championships, she won the silver medal, with the gold going to world record holder Radcliffe. Ndereba won the gold medal again at the 11th World Championships in Osaka in 2007.

Kipragat is the second woman after Ndereba to win two World Championships marathon titles, and the first to defend her title in the event.

As for age, that goes without saying.

Because this champion not only set a record for defending the title.

It also set another record.

That's his age.

Kiplagat is now approaching 34 years old.

With this gold medal win, she becomes the second oldest champion in the history of the event, after Ndereba.

When Ndereba won the World Championship marathon for the second time, he had already turned 35.

Therefore, age is not a good excuse in women's marathons, and most of our girls are in their 20s.

There is no excuse whatsoever.

Women's marathon is traditionally a strong event in Chinese track and field.

In the history of women's marathon running, 17 athletes from 8 countries have broken the 2 hours and 20 minutes barrier. Among them, 8 are from Kenya and Ethiopia in Africa, and 2 are from my country: Sun Yingjie and Zhou Chunxiu.

前者2003年在BJ马拉松赛上曾跑出两小时19分39秒，这也是女子马拉松的全国纪录；后者2006年在首尔马拉松赛的夺冠成绩，达到了两小时19分51秒。

In August 2009, the 12th World Championships were held in Berlin. We sent four athletes to participate in the women's marathon, and the overall results were outstanding.

At that time, Bai Xue from the Locomotive Sports Association won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 15 seconds, rewriting the history of China's marathon without winning a gold medal in a world-class competition.

It caused a sensation throughout the entire stadium.

This was a major event back then.

This incident also resulted in Snow White receiving treatment of an unusually high standard.

Zhou Chunxiu and Zhu Xiaolin also won fourth and fifth place respectively.

It is rare in the history of this event for a single country to have three players reach the final six.

Unfortunately, it started to decline from then on.

At the 2011 Daegu World Championships, Bai Xue and Zhou Chunxiu were both absent due to injuries. We sent five female athletes to participate in the marathon. Zhu Xiaolin and Wang Jiali ranked sixth and eighth respectively.

Chen Rong and Jia Chaofeng, who were participating for the first time, also finished 11th and 15th respectively.

In terms of overall team score for this event, the Chinese team ranked second only to Kenya. However, at that time, the overall level of Chinese women's marathon had clearly declined, and they were unable to compete for medals.

Then, at this World Championships, our women's marathon team was squeezed out of the top eight, which was entirely expected.

Because the downward curve has already been shown.

Moreover, because of previous good results, the six-character policy of "going out and bringing in" advocated by Feng Shuyong has not been particularly implemented.

Now I can only swallow the bitter pill.

In the past two years, the number of women's marathons worldwide has seen an overall surge.

In 2011, three women broke the two-hour and 20-minute barrier; last year, the number increased to six, setting a new record.

今年，该项目世界最好成绩仅为2小时20分15秒，但跑进2小时24分的，全世界仍有15人之多。

The sharp decline in the performance of Chinese athletes is due to two main reasons: firstly, the decline in the abilities of some veteran athletes caused by injuries and other factors; and secondly, the limited level of young athletes, resulting in a talent gap.

For example, the marathon final of the 12th National Games held in Yingkou in May this year was a comprehensive review of the level of men's and women's marathon in China.

Defending champion Bai Xue was not seen during the competition. Zhou Chunxiu, considered a strong favorite to win, finished 26th with a time of 2 hours, 49 minutes, and 54 seconds, her worst performance in all her National Games appearances.

Zhu Xiaolin, representing Liaoning Province, finished 23rd with a time of 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 28 seconds.

At the time, Jia Chaofeng's winning time was 2 hours, 29 minutes, and 45 seconds. This is also the best result for a Chinese woman in a marathon this year. This level only ranks 79th in the world this year.

The golden age of women's marathon running from 2005 to 2009 was due to the presence of many high-level athletes such as Zhou Chunxiu, Bai Xue, and Zhu Xiaolin.

In particular, Zhou Chunxiu competed in five world championships and placed in the top five four times. She won second and third place in the 2007 World Championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, respectively, becoming a backbone and leader of women's marathon in my country.

However, the overall quality of this generation of young people is likely to be below 50th place.

If it weren't for the fact that quite a few people didn't come this time, the results would have been even better.

It will probably only get worse.

This is why the project thinks it's doing well, but it hasn't aligned with international standards, and in reality, it's gradually showing signs of young people's technology becoming out of touch with the world.

Previously, this project enjoyed special protection because of its good overall performance, both domestically and internationally.

It's difficult to say anything to them, and it's also difficult to get them to adjust anything.

Whether they want to make adjustments or not is entirely up to their own discretion.

After all, the results speak for themselves.

In competitive sports, results are what truly matter.

Therefore, once the grades decline, all the previous success will disappear.

Yu Weili also seized the opportunity to begin his post-match summary—

It turns out.

We've fallen behind in this project, and our young people aren't as well-prepared as they used to be.

If Chinese athletes want to take off again, in addition to improving the overall strength of domestic athletes and catching up with the world's advanced level, they also need to make great efforts to cultivate new leaders, reconnect with the international community, and learn from international advanced experience and technology.

We can no longer simply work behind closed doors.

I've lived on Ersha Island for so many years.

Before becoming the head coach of track and field in China, he was stationed on Ersha Island for many years.

The concept of residual force has long been formed as a scientific movement system.

If the project's performance was good or bad before, forcibly intervening would likely cause resistance from coaches and athletes. It's better to wait until such problems arise before making adjustments naturally.

can.

Yu Weili's determination and mindset to adjust.

Everything is laid out before us here.

Otherwise, you can just keep producing results. If you do things your way, there won't be any problems. You're in charge.

If you can't get results.

It has even seen a decline for several consecutive years.

Then I'm sorry, it's perfectly reasonable and logical for me to use my own system to replace yours.

Yu Weili truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran; he is one of the most senior and experienced people in the sports industry.

They handled the situation very well, knowing how to minimize resistance and when to connect appropriately.

In short—

In the future, our Chinese track and field team will be...

Therefore, it must be guided by scientific training, scientific systems, and scientific cognition.

Feng Shuyong's policies and Su Shen's establishment of the Ersha Island framework.

He will promote and continue all of these.

The entire industry is being transformed.

It is becoming increasingly scientific.

This.

This is also the scene that Su Shen hopes to see.

It was after he came over.

An extra wish for rebirth.

The system can carry someone to victory.

But it has boosted the entire industry.

It will drive the entire system forward.

That requires knowledge.

What's needed is science.
