Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 178 Before the Game
"Hi everyone, this is the special Olympic program of CCTV. During the Olympic Games, I am the host Zhou Hua. The two guests invited today are Director Liu Ye Liu from the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and Niu Shaojun Niu from Tsinghua University's Department of Physical Education and Sports. Professor, hello both of you."

"Hello host, hello audience friends."

"Professor Niu, tonight's men's 100-meter semi-final can be said to be one of the most eye-catching competitions for Chinese audience friends since the start of the competition. Su Feng also entered the final with the first place in the semi-final. How about you accept him?" What do you think of the next game?"

"Actually, I don't need to say much about the popularity of the men's 100 meters in China. It can be said that everyone knows it. Su Feng's opponent in the final is of course Bolt. From our professional perspective , there is almost no gap between the two, and anyone has the possibility to win.

In the end, who wins and who loses, I am afraid it can only depend on the performance on the spot.

But the others, Powell, Gatlin of the United States, this should belong to another level.

They are slightly weaker than Su Feng and Bolt, but it is not impossible to compete for the championship. After all, the gap is less than 0.1 seconds.

The third grade is Tyson Gay. This athlete is second only to the first four, but we think his potential may be more than that.

That leaves Obikvelu, Leonard Scott, Jamaica's Carter.These three people all have the ability within 10 seconds, or even the ability within 9 seconds and 90, but the possibility of winning the gold medal is not high.

From a specific analysis point of view, Su Feng's real opponent is only Bolt.

But looking at it from another angle, in this game, all eight players have the strength within 10 seconds.

Even with the exception of Carter, they have already run under 9 seconds. Therefore, this 90-meter final is definitely the strongest final in history. It is really not easy for Su Feng to win. "

"Okay, thank you Professor Niu for your analysis. So Director Liu, how do you see this game?"

"Well, we have held countless meetings about this in our bureau. What we mainly do now is not to disturb the athlete, so that he has a stable mentality.

We don’t set goals for him, we don’t give him goals, but now it can be said that the whole country is paying attention to his games. You should be more aware of this. The number of spectators in the country for tomorrow’s game is expected to be close to [-] million. These will affect the psychology of athletes .

The purpose of my coming here today is to let the audience friends view the game rationally.

Professor Niu also said just now that Su Feng and Bolt are evenly matched, and we also see it this way in the game. No matter whether we win or lose, Su Feng is our hero. At least he can withstand the pressure to the point where he is now. That's how he is in our hearts. "

"Okay, I think our audience should be able to understand your concern for him as a sportsman and Su Feng's leader, and also understand the difficulties Su Feng is facing.

I also hope that everyone can view Su Feng's achievements rationally.

I still have some letters from the audience, asking about Liu Yuxiang's question. This is the second most popular question after Su Feng's 100-meter race. What does Director Liu think of it? "

"Liu Yuxiang's situation is similar to Su Feng's, but more complicated. His opponent is not as strong as Bolt, but his performance is not much different from others, and the competition is more complicated, and his results are unpredictable."

After the live broadcast, Zhou Hua sent Liu Ye and Niu Shaojun to the gate.

"I'm really sorry, especially Director Liu, we understand your pressure, but now the audience is loud, and we can't do anything about it."

For Zhou Hua's interview this time, CCTV came forward. Originally, a deputy director of the General Administration of Sports should have come to participate, but the General Administration of Sports finally sent a director. This clearly shows their attitude, and they don't want to disturb the athletes.

However, it is impossible to avoid Su Feng's talk about the Olympic program here, that's why CCTV came forward and made an invitation.

"We understand your difficulties. The country's requirement for the Olympic Games is perfection, and the pressure on your media is not small. But with Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang, we really can't put pressure on them, so the General Administration sent me here. "Liu Ye shook his head and said.

Before the game, CCTV asked the General Administration to analyze the match between Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang, and wanted to host a special program.

But they just kept procrastinating. Now it is the gap between the semi-finals and the finals. Only at this time is the person released, and he is only a director.

Su Feng's fame is what the General Administration is happy to see, not only the money brought by advertisements, but also the promotion of the entire track and field event, which cannot be bought by money.

But they were a little scared before the game. A ticket of more than 400 bought 2. This is just an example.

Now that the competition is up, looking at the Internet, almost everyone is discussing about Su Feng's 100-meter race, followed by Liu Yuxiang, and other races are exceptions. If they lose, they don't know what to do.

"It would be great if Su Feng could win." Professor Niu sighed suddenly.

Liu Ye looked at Professor Niu and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, if Su Feng wins, everything will be easy later. I never thought that once a superstar appeared in the short track event, the impact would be so great."

"This is understandable. From a human point of view, the pursuit of speed is one of the pursuits of human nature. Like F1, it is actually an extension of this nature.

In fact, any project is a combination of speed, strength and technology, such as basketball, football, and American football.Now Su Feng and the others have achieved the ultimate in pure speed, satisfying people's needs and even desires in this regard, so they will naturally have such a reaction. "

"That's right, Professor Niu is right. The pressure exists from the guest officials. How the competition goes depends on the athletes. I believe that Su Feng will not let us down." Liu Ye said affirmatively.

……

At the Bird's Nest Stadium, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Su Feng was sitting alone in the lounge, with his head raised, his face covered with a wet towel, and there was no one else in the room.

This lounge was already in a quiet corner, and even the surrounding lounges and corridors had been emptied, just because I was afraid that any movement would disturb Su Feng.

In the room, only Su Feng's breathing sounded, and there was no more sound.

Su Feng sat like this until half an hour later.

"Tat T T T T" first there was a sound of footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Su Feng, it's time for an inspection." Wang Zongfang's voice sounded outside at this time, just like usual, but the voice was extra cautious, as if he was afraid of scaring Su Feng.

"Shua!" Su Feng took off the towel on his face, stood up slowly, walked to the door step by step, and opened the door.

"I see." After opening the door, Su Feng didn't communicate too much with Wang Zongfang, and walked directly towards the inspection room. He was familiar with some of the layout here.

"Su." Wang Zongfang wanted to say something, but then his voice was suppressed in his throat. At this time, a sentence, a single word may affect the athlete's state, and it is not sure that saying it will have a good impact. Next, it’s better not to say anything, at least it’s better than making a mistake.
