king of sprint

Chapter 350 The New Generation

Zhang Zhen has been training at Pengcheng Sports Institute since October.

But this does not mean that Zhang Zhen has transferred to the Pengcheng sprint team.

The Sichuan Province sprint team will not let go of such a world champion of sprint indoor events.

Although Zhang Zhen has many problems in the 60-meter event, in the indoor [-]-meter event, Zhang Zhen can be worthy of the name of the world champion.

It is also because of these past achievements that Zhang Zhen's road to improving his running method has been full of hardships. It has been proved impossible to give up and start all over again. However, to achieve better results through minor improvements, various attempts are required.

According to Tian Shiwei's past experience, it may take half a year or even longer.

However, Rousseau's "stepping" technique shown to Zhang Zhen and Dong Zijian seems to be able to open a window for Zhang Zhen's future.

'Skipping step' is also a typical low-throwing running method. It looks ugly, but the speed is not bad. It is this ray of dawn that makes Zhang Zhen choose to stay in Pengcheng Sports Institute.

12 month 20 day.

Together with Rousseau and Tian Shiwei, Zhang Zhen participated in the Asian All-Star Athletics Competition held in Xiangjiang.

This is the second Asian All-Star Track and Field Games.

The first session was held in 2007 in Singapore.

The All-Star Athletics Competition is upgraded from the Asian Athletics Grand Prix. The Asian Athletics Grand Prix has three stations throughout the year. It has been organized since 2007. It is the highest level track and field tour event in Asia.

The All-Star Track and Field Competition is attended by the champions of each tour station and players who have won world awards and compete in the same field.

Rousseau, Tian Shiwei and Zhang Zhen were invited because of their Olympic results. Of course, Pan Kai was also invited. However, after the Olympics, Pan Kai was injured in a training session. He is currently recovering from his injuries and has not played.

全明星赛设置100米、200米、400米、110米栏、400米栏、5000米等项目。

Rousseau gave up the 100-meter project and only chose 200 meters.

He recently specialized in the 200-meter event and wanted to find a competition to test his results.

This game attracted a lot of media from Hong Kong. The reporters shot the players with long guns and short cannons, especially Rousseau and Liu Yu.

The Xiangjiang media are generally not interested in track and field, but they are interested in gossip. Rousseau's fame is in the ascendant after the Olympics, and Liu Yu is more concerned by the media.

This is the first time Liu Yu has appeared in front of the world since he withdrew from the 110-meter hurdles competition in the Olympics.

If it wasn't for Rousseau, then Liu Yu's Olympic retirement would definitely be scolded miserably. Although he has not fallen to that level now, the audience's expectations on him are undoubtedly much less, but their disappointment is much more.

"How is your condition?"

"May I ask why you withdrew from the Olympics?"

"May I ask if you feel that you have failed the expectations of the audience?"

"Did you break the contract by retiring? How much did you lose?"

……

Looking at Liu Yu who was "sieged" by the reporters, Rousseau burst into tears of sympathy, and Liu Yu was used to this kind of scene. He avoided the reporters expressionlessly and left everything to his coach Sun Haiping to deal with.

When he came to Rousseau, Liu Yu simply greeted him.

Tian Shiwei asked with concern: "Old Liu, is your injury healed?"

"It's okay to say yes, but it's also okay to say no." Liu Yu sighed, "If the race schedule is long, there will definitely be problems."

Liu Yu's Achilles tendon problem can be said to be an athlete's cancer. Although he can recover temporarily and be able to compete on the field, there is still a high probability of problems when facing a long schedule like the Olympics.

That also means that Liu Yu can only achieve good results in the tour competition. The Asian Games can make do because of the low level of competition, but in the Olympics, he will still stretch his hips. No wonder Liu Yu has such a bleak future. A head-to-head lawsuit.

"Anyway, thank you, otherwise I will be scolded even worse." Liu Yu thanked Rousseau, Tian Shiwei and Zhang Zhen.

Liu Yu withdrew from the Olympics, and these people spoke up for him, which prevented Liu Yu from being further attacked by public opinion.

The voices of those Olympic champions, especially those of Rousseau, are still very useful. They attributed Liu Yu’s problem to the overall problem of the athletes. Being bullied online is so frustrating.

This kind of voice guided the tendency of public opinion during the Olympics and protected Liu Yu.

"It's nothing. After all, we are suffering from the same disease, and our lips are dead and our teeth are cold." Tian Shiwei said.

Both Rousseau and Liu Yu frowned, Tian Shiwei's idiom was so cleverly used.

……

The broadcast of the competition requires the 100-meter athletes to prepare for the inspection.

As soon as Tian Shiwei left, the scene became quiet. Rousseau and Liu Yu chatted and watched the qualifiers.

The qualifiers were divided into four groups, with 32 players from various Asian countries, including some of Rousseau’s acquaintances, such as Fujimitsu Masamune from Japan, Abiza from Kazakhstan, Bur Bosong from Thailand and so on.

In Asia, the Chinese mainland team is at the first-tier level, so Tian Shiwei and Zhang Zhen easily qualified for the group stage. Then Rousseau saw a small domestic player with fast speed, chasing Zhang Zhen to qualify for the qualifying round.

Rousseau visually estimated that his 10-meter time was probably within 20 seconds... so fast.

At present, domestic 10-meter runners can be divided into two major categories: world level and domestic level. Based on the Olympic AB standard, within 15 seconds, they are all world level. From 10 to 15 seconds, they are the top domestic level. Outside, it can be divided into first-level, second-level, and third-level athletes.

Those who can reach the world level are Rousseau, Tian Shiwei, Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen, while Xu Zhou and Lu Pei are the top players in China.

This is also the problem that Rousseau encountered in the 4×100-meter event. The accumulation of domestic sprinters is still insufficient. If the dream team of Rousseau and others is missing one person, it will be difficult to fill it, let alone the goal of defeating the Jamaica team.

"That's Sun Guangfu of the Southern Guangdong Provincial Team. He is 20 years old this year. He is a young man with great aura and a rising star." Lu Jinrong introduced this athlete to Rousseau.

"A little short," said Rousseau.

"Yes, he is only 1.72 meters tall, which is a disadvantage." Lu Jinrong said, "It's a pity, if he is 10 centimeters taller, he has the potential to be a world-leader."

"You are so optimistic about him?" Rousseau was a little surprised.

"Yes, this kid has fast speed, standard movements, full of spirituality, and his technical characteristics are very similar to Green's. It's a pity that the racial talent of the yellow race is not as good as that of the blacks, so his upper limit will not be too high, and it may stop at 10 seconds. Go." Lu Jinrong said.

"That's great." Rousseau said, "If he can be faster, let's take him in the 4×100-meter relay at the World Championships next year."

Um.Lu Jinrong also had the same idea.

Because he found Sun Guangfu, a good seed, Rousseau seemed rather happy. During the 100-meter preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, Rousseau carefully observed Sun Guangfu and found that, as Lu Jinrong said, this 20-year-old athlete is very talented. His foot skills are also mature, which is rare.

But it is admiration, the more regret it is.

"It's just too short...even if he is 1.80 meters!"
