Chapter 186 List of World Championships

7 month 12 day.

When this interview with Rousseau on the sports channel "People" was broadcast.

The ratings hit a new high.

Rousseau's first public response to the World Championships confirmed the speculation of most viewers, but also caused the public's perception of Rousseau to drop off a cliff.

It's not that there have never been outstanding athletes who changed their nationality in China. After being trained by the country, they turned around and became enemies of the country. Everyone immediately included Rousseau in that group.

Although Rousseau's real deeds have not reached that level, once Rousseau appears in the Gold Grand Prix instead of the World Championships, it can almost be concluded that this statement is correct, and this possibility is extremely high, Very big.

Of course, there are also some people who focus their criticism on Li Yan, thinking that it is the problem of the coach of the national team that makes the country face the dilemma of losing such an outstanding athlete.

They strongly demanded that Li Yan step down and let Rousseau choose his own coaching team. Anyway, the sprint national team is not good at everything. Rousseau is worth a hundred, so why not just build a team around Rousseau?

So around Rousseau's interview, new debates started again. The views of several parties were very sharp. There were constant news on Internet users and websites, and formal news media also reported one after another.

Rousseau's reputation reached a new height after the broadcast of "People", but his reputation fell to the lowest point in history.

……

Li Yan was sitting in the office.

Looking at the report submitted by Dong Zijian.

There is a roster for the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki. In fact, there are only two people, Pan Kai, 100 meters, and Zhang Zhen, indoor 60 meters.

Pan Kai's latest score is 10 seconds, which is better than that of the National Games, but it has reached the limit. After using so many "edge ball" methods, it can only be improved to this level. It can only prove Pan Kai's qualifications It will stop here.

Possibly into the finals.

Medals are absolutely hopeless.

But Zhang Zhen.

This is Li Yan's 'secret weapon' that has been hidden for a long time.

Indoor 60 meters, 6 seconds 43.

This is enough to win the championship.

It is also the source of confidence that Li Yan promised to give the General Administration a gold medal in the World Championships.

It is also the key to Li Yan's long-planned plan.

Applying to be the coach of the mainland sprint national team, what is the salary of several million, and how much income can be obtained from the distribution of [-]% of the athletes' endorsements? to huge revenues in the tens of millions of dollars.

As long as this income is in hand, his minimum goal in this head coach position has been achieved, and the next step is to manage other players. This country has a vast land, rich resources and a large population, and there will always be a second Rousseau.

Even if it is really difficult to sit in this position, it is just a bit of a pity...

At this time, Dong Zijian knocked on the door and entered.

"Have you read the interview with People?" Li Yan asked him.

"Well, of course, I read it." Dong Zijian nodded, "Looks like Rousseau will choose the Gold Grand Prix instead of the World Championships."

"He is really a stubborn child." Li Yan sighed, "Well, we are now sure that Rousseau will not be on the list for the World Championships."

Dong Zijian nodded with a sigh. Now the evaluation of Rousseau on the Internet is "no father, no mother, abandoning the country and family".

Li Yan also sighed, feeling a pity from the bottom of his heart, otherwise, what a huge income such a 'dark horse' with absolute strength would bring him.

"How is Zhang Zhen?" Li Yan asked again.

"Very good." Dong Zijian replied.

……

7 month 13 day.

All members of the national team set off to Helsinki to participate in the 2005 World Championships.

There are 36 members of the national team this time, including famous track and field players Liu Yu, Xi Huina, Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen.

……

This time the world championships have attracted much attention.

Because Liu Yu may win the 110-meter hurdles championship, it will end the 22-year gold medal drought in China at the World Championships.

The mainland has always been known as a big country in sports, but a weak country in track and field. There has never been a big breakthrough in the "faster" that represents higher, faster and stronger. It is difficult to convince the people who pursue perfection that their own country's sports It's really getting stronger.

This World Championship is a rare opportunity to prove.

……

Portal websites such as Houlang and [-] opened columns to record the results of the World Championships.

In all track and field events, the candidates for the championship are estimated, only Liu Yu's name on the 110-meter hurdles is Dongfang's name.

When browsing these pages, netizens couldn't help but think of the name of the champion who won the Grand Slam honor in the Champions League. As a result, they became even more angry and wrote angry words on the forum.

……

7 month 15 day.

Before the opening of the World Championships.

The Paris race of the IAAF Gold Grand Prix started first.

The game was televised live.

There is still a small group of sports fans who care about Rousseau who should be in this game.

In their view, no matter where Rousseau achieved his achievements, they were all achievements of the country. As long as Rousseau is still a Chinese, it represents the glory of the country.

Isn't the champion of the Golden Grand Prix the champion?
narrow!

Therefore, for Rousseau to officially set foot on the stage of the Golden Grand Prix for the first time and compete with the world's trapeze, it is extremely precious to them, and they have to wait and see if they stay up all night.

Finally, the list of the 100-meter qualifiers appeared on TV.

The contestant from China...huh?

Tian?

……

the same day.

Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

The first World Athletics Championships was held here in 1983. After 22 years, the World Championships returned to its birthplace. Therefore, the World Athletics Federation held a very grand opening ceremony on the morning of the 15th.

The entire race is 9 days in total.

On the afternoon of the 15th, the men's 100m qualifiers were held.

This game attracted a lot of attention due to the participation of the world record holder Bauer. Perhaps it was due to the tacit understanding among the world's trapeze people. Gatlin did not appear in the list of games. Injured and unable to compete.

……

Pan Kai, as the "only" Chinese player, is warming up. He is in the second group of the qualifiers, and there is Ball in the first group. Pan Kai feels regretful and fortunate.

Without Ball, his group is more likely to advance, but if he fails to advance, he will lose the opportunity to compete with the world's top world trappers.

At this time.

Pan Kai suddenly heard the voice of "China..." coming from the radio that was introducing the contestants. He couldn't help but look up in astonishment. Did he remember wrongly, or did the conference make a mistake? Was he in the first group?

So Pan Kai looked at Li Yan on the sidelines.

I saw Li Yan, who was always calm and composed, staring blankly at the big screen at the venue, which displayed the list of the first group of 100-meter qualifiers.

'...

Suo Lu, China
...'

how can that be?Pan Kai felt extremely ridiculous at this moment.

　Four more ~ ​​Tomorrow's 100-meter preliminaries will almost reach the semi-finals
