king of sprint

Chapter 354
Usain wondered what Rousseau was doing in Kingston.

Is there some kind of conspiracy or something.

His coach, Glenn Mills, thought it wasn't that complicated at all.

"Looks like LU just wants to run 200 meters, and he has the strength to run 200 meters." Glenn Mills said.

"So at this year's World Championships, LU will compete with me in the 100-meter and 200-meter events? It sounds very exciting~" Usain said enthusiastically, "I can run on the 200-meter track Easily overtake him."

"LU's 19 is not slow." Glenn Mills warned Usain, "You can't underestimate any opponent, especially LU."

"I don't underestimate him, I'm just a little excited," Usain said.

After all, Usain started his own training again, this time appearing more energetic.

Looking at Usain's figure, Glenn Mills felt that it was a good thing to have a Chinese LU, otherwise, with Usain's character, it would be easy to get lost in an environment where no opponent could be found.

……

5 month 9 day.

Continental sprint 'team' comes to Osaka.

Participate in the Super Grand Prix held here.

The reason why it is called a "team" is because the team of contestants composed of Rousseau, Tian Shiwei, and Zhang Zhen can be called "many".

The Japanese audience welcomed Rousseau very much. Some fans waved up the banner of "dragon, Phoenix, tiger and wolf" at the airport to welcome them. Tian Shiwei hated this title, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At the Osaka Super Grand Prix, Rousseau still did not participate in the 100-meter event. He participated in the 200-meter and 400-meter events.

Although I vowed never to run 400 meters again, the credibility of the oath made at the most uncomfortable moment after the race is almost the same as that of a girl's weight loss declaration after a big meal.

In the 100-meter event, Tian Shiwei was first and Zhang Zhen was third.

Zhang Zhen's time improved to 10 seconds, which is a remarkable improvement.

During this period of time, Zhang Zhen was receiving training in the Pengcheng provincial team. Obviously, the training atmosphere of the team's masters was very helpful to improve his performance.

Rousseau won the first place in the 200-meter event. This time he did not meet a competitor of Crawford's level, so the 200-meter score was only 19 seconds. It is indeed a lonely thing to have no opponent. It is difficult to maintain an exciting competitive state, and it is also difficult to get excellent results.

On the 400 meters, Rousseau also won the first place with a score of 44 seconds.

This result is not as good as Rousseau's performance in the European Champions Cup track and field competition, but it is also quite good. The 400-meter event is not a Golden League event, and it is not taken seriously in the Super Grand Prix.

The Super Grand Prix in Doha and Dakar, there is no 400-meter event at all, and Osaka is the only tour with this project so far in the 2009 Grand Prix.

So there are very few contestants, and the level is even worse.

Rousseau just wanted to try, so he ran 400 meters once.

Still feeling bad after the run.

"I won't run away anymore..." he said to Dong Zijian.

Dong Zijian comforted Rousseau with a smile. He had heard these words for the second time, so there was no credibility.

……

After Usain and the coach got Rousseau's results in the Osaka Grand Prix, they fell into thinking.

"So at the World Championships, Rousseau will also run 400 meters?" Usain suddenly felt a little panicked.

Because he didn't want to run 400 meters.

Although he was born in the 400-meter race, Usain's best time in the 400-meter event was only 45 seconds, which is the general level of good or bad.

According to Usain's physical condition, he should have an advantage in running 400 meters, but Usain just thinks it is too hard, it is completely torture, and he doesn't want to run at all. If the coach keeps letting him run 400 meters, he must have retired. .

Usain hates the 400m so much.

But if Rousseau is going to run the 400 meters at the World Championships...

Glenn Mills looked at Usain and was thinking about how to solve him. There is no need to follow in the footsteps of Rousseau. Just maintain the advantage in the 100 meters and 200 meters. There is no need to compete with him in the events that he is not good at. Rousseau competes.

However, before Glenn Mills tried to persuade him, Usain had already thought about it.

"Let that idiot run 400 meters, and then he will fall into a state of exhaustion and be easily defeated by me hahaha~" Usain said with a smile.

"Didn't you always want to win LU at its best?" Glenn Mills asked suspiciously.

"He insists on running 400 meters, what can I do? Do I want to run 400 meters as stupid as him?" Usain shook his head, "I never want to run 400 meters again."

The desire for fair competition was so easily defeated by the fear of 400 meters... Glenn Mills looked at his favorite student, and it was you.

……

May passed.

It is very close to the World Championships in August.

Domestically, the official popularity of the National Games is far higher than that of the World Athletics Championships.

The provincial sports commissions all have a traditional practice of 'preserving the National Games, abandoning the World Championships, Asian Games and even the Olympic Games'.

So when the General Administration counted the list, it was found that in the sprint event, only Rousseau had reported 100 meters and 200 meters, Tian Shiwei had reported 100 meters, and other sprinters who had passed the World Championship standard did not sign up, not even 4×100 meters Gather a team.

The same is true in other sports, because the National Games is approaching, many players directly give up the World Championships and concentrate on preparing for the National Games.

This situation made the General Administration scratch its head a bit. The General Administration has no direct superior-subordinate relationship with the provincial sports commissions, although once there is an international competition, the General Administration will always get support for its recruitment.

However, with the National Games as the political task of representing a province's sports face, the provincial sports commissions have their own little calculations, and the General Administration has no way to make mandatory orders.

Of course, the participation of players such as Rousseau, Liu Yu, and Tian Shiwei can also represent China's sports strength, but it is a bit embarrassing to not have enough people for the 4×100m event. Before that, they won the World Championships and Olympic silver medals.

The key lies in Pan Kai's retirement.

Although there was Xu Zhou as a backup, Xu Zhou knew that if he was replaced, he might not even be in the top three.

So why did Pan Kai choose to retire at this critical node?

The injury after the Olympics is one reason, and the personal competitive career has come to an end is another reason.

The more important reason is that Pan Kai thinks that 'if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come'.

"My strength can't keep up with you guys. Letting me go will only drag you down. I hope to get a silver medal, but the upper limit will always be like this. Why don't you take this opportunity and replace it with new players? Starting from the World Championships, By the time of the 12 Olympic Games, maybe there will be a new atmosphere."

This is what Pan Kai said.

As for who to choose to replace Pan Kai, join this 4×100-meter relay team.

Lu Jinrong already had a direction.

　Two more~
