Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 237 The boy by the river beach
Shaoxing Hutang Community.

On the edge of the river, a young boy with a naive face was running into the wind.

If there is someone who knows a little bit about it, even if you don't know who he is, you can tell by looking at the boy's posture when running that he has practiced and his level is not bad.

After running for a while, the boy panted and began to walk along the river.

It is said that it is a river. In fact, in this Jiangnan village with abundant water systems, rivers connect lakes and lakes connect rivers. There is no accurate name for it.

The young man only remembered that when he was a child, the roads by rivers and lakes had not yet been filled with cement and were still soft river beaches.

When he was still in Hutang Primary School, he often ran to the front after school, leaving his companions far behind, and then turned back and ran back.

Just running and running, I ran from Hutang Primary School to Shaoxing County Sports School, then to SX City Sports School in less than a year, and to the Provincial Sports School in more than half a year.

"Zhenye, are you running again?"

Hearing a greeting, Xie Zhenye, who was kicking pebbles on the roadside, looked up and found that it was his mother's good sister and poker friend Aunt Liu Juan.

On the edge of the river beach, Liu Juan, a villager from Hutang Community, was holding a vegetable basket and greeting Xie Zhenye with a smile on her face.

"Yes, Ma'am, I was bored at home, so I came out for a run." Xie Zhenye scratched his head and smiled, his tone and movements were not very relaxed, and his behavior was still as shy as when he was a child.

"I'm about to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Do you want to go with me? Your parents should be busy at this time."

Xie Zhenye's parents ran a fish stall in the vegetable market and the business was very busy.

In the past, every weekend, if villagers from Hutang Community visited the fish stall, they would often see young Xie Zhenye helping there. His parents were killing and weighing fish, and Xie Zhenye was helping. Collect money.

When he had free time, little Xie Zhenye would lie on a narrow table and do his homework, very quietly.

If his parents are too busy working at the fish stall from Monday to Friday, then Xie Zhenye will take the initiative to cook and clean when he gets home. And I heard that the child has never owed homework.

"I won't go." Xie Zhenye scratched his head shyly, "When I came back yesterday, I wanted to help, but my parents didn't agree. They said it was only after a long time that I came back. Just stay at home and rest.”

"Yes, yes." Liu Juan nodded and said, "You have been training hard at the provincial sports school. After finally coming back to have a rest, don't think about helping your parents. If you really feel sorry for them, just Practice running well and make a name for yourself, which is the greatest filial piety to your parents!"

After saying a few words as an elder, Liu Juan left with the vegetable basket.

He is now half a boy, and he is no longer the little kid who needs to be taught everything. Moreover, he is not his own baby yet. It is not good to talk too much. Just say hello.

After bidding farewell to Sister Liu Juan, the young man Xie Zhenye became idle again, wandering along the river carrying stones, and unknowingly came to Hutang Primary School, where he had not stayed for six years.

It was time for school to end in the afternoon, and the security guard at the school gate was keeping a close eye on him, and he immediately stopped Xie Zhenye, who was 1 meters tall.

After nearly two years of living in a sports school, Xie Zhenye was no longer the shy little boy he was before. He quickly revealed his identity and purpose to the security guard.

Seeing the sincerity on his face, and seeing that his behavior and dress did not look like that of an unlearned middle school student, the security guard finally let him in.

Hutang Primary School does not occupy a large area, but it is filled with many happy memories.

Xie Zhenye quickly found the classroom where he had been in fifth and sixth grade. The door was still open, but there was no student inside.

The last time I played in this classroom with my elementary school classmates was nearly two years ago. Times have changed and things have changed.

The classroom is still the same classroom, the familiar people are no longer there, leaving only a few memories in my mind.

Xie Zhenye walked to the blackboard at the back of the classroom. There were four familiar big characters printed on the top of the blackboard. On the left was "erudite" and on the right was "enterprising".

The content on the blackboard includes chalk drawings and transcriptions of students’ excellent compositions. Of course, there is also a date that needs to be updated every day—September 2007, 9.

Looking at this date, Xie Zhenye remembered November 11rd two years ago. It was his last day at Hutang Primary School less than three months after he was promoted to sixth grade, because he had to go to Hutang Primary School the next day. The county sports school in Shaoxing has registered.

On that day, the head teacher Zhu Shengyang organized a farewell party specially for him.

Xie Zhenye still remembers that the whole blackboard was filled with congratulations to him from his classmates, and the squad leader also took the lead in drawing a big crab on the blackboard - everyone liked to call him "little crab" Thank you", and later gradually turned into "little crab".

Thinking back on the past, Xie Zhenye stood in the middle of the blackboard and turned around, spreading his arms and grinning like before, as if he was in the classroom again.

"Xiao Xie?"

A call came from outside the classroom, waking Xie Zhenye from his memories.

"Teacher Zhu? Teacher Shen?" Xie Zhenye recognized his primary school teacher and physical education teacher immediately. One was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking gentle, and the other was wearing a sports suit and had a strong build.

Shen Xingmiao laughed and said: "Teacher Zhu just called me and said, 'Teacher Shen, I just saw Xiao Xie returning to school.' I guessed you were right, so I came here with him. "

While talking, Xie Zhenye walked out of the classroom at the greeting of the primary school teacher and physical education teacher, and wandered around the playground shrouded in the dusk glow. The two chatted while walking, and Shen Xingmiao suddenly asked:
"Oh, by the way, today is Tuesday. Why are you running back to Shaoxing when you are not training at the provincial sports school?" Zhu Shengyang said and looked at Xie Zhenye up and down.

Zhu Shengyang also realized something was wrong. Although he taught mathematics, he didn't know much about Xie Zhenye because he paid close attention to Xie Zhenye.

It was neither a weekend nor a public holiday. How could he, a sports practitioner, have time to run back to Shaoxing from Hangzhou?
Could it be.
"Don't think too much, I'm not injured." Xie Zhenye felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at, "I'm going to Yanjing in two days, so Coach Tao from the Provincial Sports School gave me a three-day break. Family leave.”

After hearing Xie Zhenye's explanation, Shen Xingmiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If a child of this age really encounters an injury that requires him to go home to recuperate, it is not a trivial matter, and his path to sports may be cut off.

In 2004, Shen Xingmiao had just taken over the teaching of fourth grade, and discovered Xie Zhenye, a good candidate for running, in physical education class.

At that time, Xie Zhenye, who was in fourth grade, had grown to a height of just over 1.6 meters. When running, not only was his stride length much longer than that of children of the same age, but his cadence was also quite fast. So in September of that year, when Xie Zhenye was in fifth grade, Shen Xingmiao selected him into the school's sports training team, and the training events were 9 meters and 200 meters.

After training for a period of time, the quiet Xie Zhenye left a good impression on Shen Xingmiao.

Children in the physical training team are usually lively and even naughty, but Xie Zhenye is different. Although he is active, he doesn't talk much. When assigning training tasks, his attention is very concentrated, and his eyes are serious and thoughtful.

Children of that age group almost all train together in all sports, but this also makes Xie Zhenye stand out among the children.

For example, Shen Xingmiao is required to run 10 meters within seconds and run several groups in a row, with only minutes of rest in between. Some children become lazy and save effort after running two or three groups, but Xie Zhenye, who is also very tired, will still complete the remaining groups with all his strength.

Many years of teaching experience told Shen Xingmiao that he was a good youngster who was willing to work hard and train hard. So after more than half a year of training, when Xie Zhenye finished second in the 400-meter race at the district sports meeting, Shen Xingmiao recommended him. It was given to coach Wang Shunfa of Shaoxing (now Keqiao District) County Sports School.

Less than a year later, in May 2006, Wang Shunfa entrusted this young man with great potential to the guidance of Ying Shuigen, who had retired from the provincial sports school and was reemployed to the city sports school.

As a result, just over half a year later, coach Ying Shuigen passed the "baton" from Xie Zhenye to Tao Jianrong, the coach of the provincial track and field team.

Until now, Xie Zhenye has only just turned 14 years old. It is no exaggeration to call him a "genius boy".

But now, Xie Zhenye actually said that he was going to Yanjing?
Shen Xingmiao racked his brains and thought about it. He paid close attention to Xie Zhenye, so he knew about all the youth and youth track and field competitions in the province.

Xie Zhenye participated in this year's Zhejiang youth track and field competition and was able to run the 100 meters in 11 seconds, which was a full 2 seconds faster than last year when he went to coach Ying Shuigen of the city sports school.

But right now, I haven’t heard of any competitions going to Yanjing?
"Yanjing?" Shen Xingmiao, who couldn't figure it out, still said in confusion: "If I remember correctly, the national youth competition should be completed in August. At this time, there should be no national youth competition in Yanjing, right? ?”

"It's not a competition, it's a training camp." Xie Zhenye explained, "Coach Tao originally said that I would officially enter the provincial team in two months, but the national team recently opened a youth track and field elite training camp, saying that it would be for The whole country recruits students and recommends me to try out. If I don’t pass the selection, it will be the same when I join the provincial team.”

When the topic came to this youth track and field elite training camp, Zhu Shengyang was already at a loss, and Shen Xingmiao was also confused because it was beyond their cognitive scope.

But since this training camp is run by the national team, if it passes the selection, wouldn’t it be
"Xiao Xie, if you pass the selection for this training camp, will you be able to enter the national team?" Zhu Shengyang asked with concern.

Xie Zhenye scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I don't know very well myself. Anyway, Coach Tao of the Provincial Sports School treats me very well. I just do what he says. But..."

"But what?"

"But I heard from Coach Tao that when I go to Yanjing and enter the training camp, I can see Wen Hao in person." Xie Zhenye smiled happily, looking a little silly.

When hearing Wen Hao's name, it didn't matter whether they could figure out what this training camp was about, because in the hearts of Shen Xingmiao and Zhu Shengyang, the word "Wen Hao" had enough weight.

Not only was it done by the national team, but Wen Hao also came forward. Doesn’t this have a better future than the provincial team?
If we say that two months ago, when Wen Hao broke the world record in the Golden League Rome Station, his popularity and influence would only surpass Liu Xiang.

Now, just after the World Championships in Osaka, Wen Hao's popularity and influence have completely surpassed Liu Xiang.

Even though Wen Hao did not break the world record at this World Championships, Liu Xiang not only broke the world record, but also improved it by 0.09 seconds, and even became the only "Grand Slam" title holder in the history of the 110-meter hurdles .

No way, the influence of the 110-meter hurdles event is still far behind that of the 100-meter event.

Not to mention that Wen Hao not only won one gold medal, but three!

The popularity and influence of the World Championships are far less than that of the Olympic Games, but the current domestic public opinion wave triggered by Wen Hao is not at all inferior to Liu Xiang, who won the championship at the Athens Olympics that year, or even worse.

In the past, Wen Hao's labels were "Genius Boy", "Asia's First Person to Break 100 Meters", "Asian Flying Man", "Red Lightning", "World Record Holder" and "The Fastest Man in the World". 】.

And now, just like Liu Xiang back then, he has another undisputed label on his body - [National Hero]!
This label was certified and awarded by GW Academy at the Osaka World Athletics Championships Commendation Ceremony held at the Great Hall of the People today.

Seeing Xie Zhenye smiling so happily, Shen Xingmiao and Zhu Shengyang also laughed.

"It's good to go to Yanjing. Teacher Shen and I have watched you grow up step by step. We can see you shining on a broader stage. We are happy for you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that in just two or three years, you would grow up enough to go to the capital." Shen Xingmiao said with a smile. "Go to Yanjing and perform well. If you ask me, you might be the next Wen Hao!"

"I'm still far behind. I can't even make it within 11 seconds now." Xie Zhenye smiled again and scratched his head, but looking at his happy look, it was obvious that he was looking forward to this trip to the capital.

"Hey, there's no need to belittle yourself. You ran 11 seconds last month. I think you're not far away from breaking 2 seconds." Zhu Shengyang said and looked at Shen Xingmiao again and asked, "Hey, Teacher Shen, what's the matter? Do you know how much Wen Hao could run when he was Xiao Xie's age?"

"Um" Shen Xingmiao thought for a while, "Xiao Xie is 14 years old this year. I haven't heard that Wen Hao has run much at this age, but when he participated in the National High School Championships at the age of 17, his score was 10 seconds. I still have this Impressive.”

Zhu Shengyang clapped his hands and said: "Look, the gap is not very big. Xiao Xie is only 14 years old now, and there are still three years left before he turns 17. Xiao Xie, set a goal for yourself now and strive to be 17 When I was 10 years old, I surpassed Wen Hao’s time of 57 seconds and seconds. I must believe that I can do it!”

"."

Xie Zhenye did not respond because Wen Hao was his idol, so he would always collect various information about Wen Hao on weekdays.

文浩确实是在17岁那年的全国高中锦标赛上跑了10秒57不假，但三四个月之后的东亚运动会上，人家都跑出10秒35的成绩夺冠并刷新全国少年纪录了。

17 years old, 10 seconds and 35 seconds. It’s not that I’m not confident enough, it’s that my idol is too perverted!
Shen Xingmiao gently patted Xie Zhenye's shoulder: "Don't take Teacher Zhu's words too seriously. Geniuses like Wen Hao are rare in a century. It's good to aim for him, but you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself." huge pressure."

"You are still young now, which is the best age to lay the foundation. Don't rush or hurry up about anything. Don't hurt your body because you are eager to improve your grades. The teacher believes in you and believes that one day in the future, you will be able to... Saw you on the World Series stage”

Under the setting sun, the boy who grew up by the river strolled out of the school gate and walked towards a wider world.
PS: Attached is a photo of classmate Xiao Xie when she was a child
　Congratulations to Xiao Xie for her official debut. Although she is still young, the plot has been arranged.

　　In the original timeline, Xiao Xiehui suffered a serious injury in 08. The injury caused him to rest for more than a year. Later, he would uncontrollably "shake his head" when running, which was called "Xie's wobble".

　　Now the plot is introduced in advance, so that Xiao Xie can avoid the injury in 08, and after entering Wen Hao's field of vision, he can also grow faster.

　　Looking forward to thanking you~
