Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 169: Worry less in life

The men's 4×100m final is not the last event in the track and field section of the Doha Asian Games tonight, but for many viewers, the end of this competition means the end of the track and field section.

后面的女子4×400米和男子4×400米，这两个接力项目和4×100米接力的人气差距，甚至可能比400米单项与100米单项之间的差距还要大。

For the Chinese track and field audience, the performance of the Chinese track and field team tonight left them with mixed emotions.

There are a total of 10 final events, and the Chinese track and field team won 4:

Women’s high vault – Gao Shuying, men’s 110m hurdles – Liu Xiang, men’s triple jump – Li Yanxi, women’s 4×100m relay.

It's just that the weight of these four gold medals seems to be inferior to the men's 4×4 meters for the Chinese people who are paying attention to the track and field unit of the Asian Games tonight.

After several days of warm-up, Wen Hao set a new Asian Games record in the 100-meter final, and set a new Asian record in the 200-meter final, as well as Hu Kai and Yang Yaozu also performed well.

The men's 12×4m relay final on the evening of the 100th attracted unprecedented domestic attention, and the public's willingness to watch even exceeded the men's 110m hurdles final in which Liu Xiang appeared.

The logic is also very simple. I have watched too many games in which Liu Xiang won the championship, and there is no opponent in Asia who can threaten him. The championship cannot be said to be certain, or it can be said to be without any suspense.

The men's 4×100-meter relay is different. This was once the specialty event of the Chinese track and field team. Until the early 90s, China had steadily dominated the Neon team, but was overtaken by others.

But what people didn't expect was that the originally expected picture of passionate revenge and successful championship was not realized. In the end, the Chinese team still lost to the Neon team with a slight disadvantage.

The Neon team's winning time was 38 seconds, while the runner-up Chinese team's time was 19 seconds.

There is a gap of 0.04 seconds. If the handover between the team members was a little smoother, wouldn't this championship be won?

It's a pity that there is no if, the reality is a foregone conclusion.

Seeing this result, many viewers at the scene packed their things and prepared to leave with a disappointed mood. Many viewers in China also turned off the TV and went to bed.

In the mixed interview area of ​​Asbel Stadium, it was not until the award ceremony of the men's 4×100 meter relay that Tong Rina finally waited for the three "late arrivals".

The reason there were three people was because Hu Kai had been sent down for treatment at this time. Although he thought it didn't matter, getting injured was something that couldn't be careless after all.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome Wen Yongyi, Yang Yaozu and Wen Hao to accept our interview."

Tong Rina greeted her warmly when she came up. Those who didn't know better thought she was an easy-to-get-together reporter. In fact, all the athletes she interviewed were sweating profusely.

In the camera, the three of them were hanging silver medals on their chests, which caught the attention of Tong Rina and the viewers who still insisted on watching the live broadcast.

Because judging from their performance after the game, it seems that they are not satisfied with their performance, but at this time, they did not put away the silver medal, which is a bit confusing.

Tong Rina stretched out her hand carelessly, picked up the medal from Wen Hao's chest, took a look at it, and then smiled at him: "This silver medal is quite nice, and it is an improvement compared to the previous one, the 02 Busan Asian Games. I was still in third place at that time.”

This sentence alone immediately made Wen Yongyi and Yang Yaozu sweat.

The reason why Tong Rina was nicknamed "The Mudslide of the Interview Industry" was not because her questions were tricky, but because her questions never seemed to go beyond her head, and she just said whatever came to her mind.

Fortunately, Wen Hao is professional when dealing with Tong Rina.

He turned the microphone in Tong Rina's hand in front of him and revealed his true feelings: "Actually, Yao Zu and Lao Wen, I, and I thought about putting away the silver medal before we came for the interview, because tonight we have the mentality that we will win the championship. When we came to the field, everyone saw that the game process and the final result were somewhat unsatisfactory.”

Tong Rina followed up and said: "Speaking of unsatisfactory results, I really want to ask Yang Yaozu. In the handover of the second and third sticks, you and Hu Kai made visible mistakes. But I looked forward to it. His cooperation with Pang Guibin was quite smooth one day, is it because you didn't practice with him much during training?"

This question really asked Yang Yaozu. Did you have little contact with Hu Kai during training?

There must be a lot, after all, he and Hu Kai are the main players of the relay team.

But many times, the training time is only one month in total, and Yang Yaozu himself still needs targeted training for the 200-meter event.

As for Hu Kai, he initially had the goal of competing for at least one medal and conducted a lot of specialized training in addition to relay training.

As for Pang Guibin, because he does not have a single task, he can focus more on relay training.

Moreover, Pang Guibin's Guangxi team has always been a strong relay team in China, and the training model has always been based on a head coach as the core, driving the personal development of the players through relays.

Therefore, compared to Yang Yaozu, Pang Guibin is actually more suitable to serve as the third battalion in relay events. Pang Guibin's coach Lin Wei also responded to the above and wanted to fight for him to be the main force, but in the end.

Yang Yaozu knew about this, and he got along well with Pang Guibin during the training camp. In addition, the running-in between himself and his teammates was not going well, so he had the idea of ​​giving up his position as the third main force. .

So Yang Yaozu mentioned this idea to coach Liu Xia in private, and then he was scolded for "eating the inside and outside", so the idea was dropped.

Yang Yaozu took a deep breath and said with a lonely expression: "My cooperation with Hu Kai is really bad, so now I think about it, I really regret it. If I could choose again, I would rather give up my 200 In the rice event, we must also try our best to protect this relay gold medal.”

As he spoke, Yang Yaozu's eyes turned red, and Wen Yongyi quickly patted his back to express comfort.

And Wen Hao felt equally uncomfortable in his heart.

Yang Yaozu could have brushed off the topic, but he chose to open up his heart, and at the same time, he took all the responsibility for missing the gold medal on himself.

But frankly speaking, is this responsibility really just Yang Yaozu’s?

Regarding the institutional problems existing in the national relay team, Wen Hao actually reported it to Feng Shuyong and other big bosses at the Competition Management Center during the World Youth Championships.

From the end of the World Youth Championship to the start of the Asian Games training camp, there was a total of two and a half months, but the relevant systems and processes had not changed at all, so Wen Hao's reaction was like no splash at all.

Compared with the neon relay team, the current Chinese men's 4×100-meter relay team is not only technically lagging behind, the root cause behind it involves the system.

The Neon Relay Team relied on the Land Sports League and took advantage of the 1991 Winter World Championships to thoroughly study the American, French, German and other teams that were world leaders at the time, and then relied on scientific research step by step to The Neon Relays team has built a world-class performance.

As for the system, a head coach is fully responsible, and a kinesiology professor from Juntendo University, Myungkai University and other higher education institutions with strong scientific research and analysis capabilities is used as an assistant coach to evaluate the individual abilities of the relay team members. to the all-round creation of relay technology.

What about the Chinese relay team?

The six team members are each under the supervision of five coaches. If they can be trained together, it is considered a success!

This trip to the Asian Games was really anticlimactic, and Wen Hao really felt helpless about this.

But what can be done?

Anyway, the individual honors that should be won have been won, and the records that should be set have been set. As for the mess in the relay event, why bother worrying about it?

Just leave it to the meat eaters!

If you want to live a smooth life, it is best to worry less.

This is what Wen Hao really thinks in his heart. He is not a person who is particularly willing to worry about this or that. As for mentioning Su Bingtian and Blake, it is purely because he really appreciated them in his previous life.

Anyway, when things are over here, he is ready to pack his luggage and return to Yanjing to continue studying and training. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with Sister Shi in his arms every night?

Speaking of which, when he was training at Ersha Island in late November, Zhang Jielin was successfully selected as one of the "Top Ten Professional Fashion Models" by the China Fashion Awards. At that time, he was not able to celebrate with the beautiful Zhang.

And Xu Xiaoyuan, we made an appointment to go shopping together before. Seeing that there are only three days left in the Asian Games, we have to hurry up.
