Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 40 200 meters

At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 10th, Su Feng appeared in the stands of the Helsinki Stadium in full armor, wearing ordinary sportswear, a hat on his head, and a mask on his mouth.

Because it is a free ticket given to athletes by the organizer, the location is quite good, just in the first row.

So Su Feng held on to the railing, and he could easily see the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries that were going on below.

But beside him, standing was not He Jun, but Zhang Guozheng, the leader of the Chinese delegation to the World Championships.

"It's about to start." Zhang Guozheng said, looking at the hurdles that had been placed.

As the team leader, he supposedly has a lot of things to do, so he shouldn't be here.

However, in the past few days of competition, the Chinese women's race walking and shot put have lost one after another. The track and field team has faced considerable pressure from officials to athletes.

Don't think that only the officials are responsible for the overall results. Even athletes from other sports face the same pressure in this delegation.

Because everyone is a team at this time, if the results are good, it is okay to say, people will see who has won the medal of which event.

But China's track and field itself is a weak field. If there is no one who can get a good result to top the front, the whole team will be blamed at that time.

The athletes who appear here represent the entire country. Everyone has spent a lot of energy and material resources of the country. Everyone also has a sense of responsibility after wearing the Chinese team uniform. The most important thing is to face Jiangdong's elders without face.

But now it's better, Su Feng won a significant 100-meter gold medal, and the track and field team, from the athletes to the coaches and officials, all heaved a sigh of relief.

On the training ground today, the athletes who will participate in the competition later obviously relaxed a lot, and their movements became more stretched.

Even Liu Yuxiang came to thank Su Feng half-jokingly, saying that with Su Feng's gold medal, it doesn't matter whether he gets the gold medal or not.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Guozheng came to accompany Su Feng to watch the game in person after knowing that He Jun had no time.

With this gold medal, there is indeed a lot of room for the following competitions. No matter what the results are, their track and field team can compete against the domestic competition.

And there are not many competitions today, mainly starting in the afternoon, and the most important thing in the morning is the 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, so it's okay for him to leave temporarily.

And taking advantage of He Jun being stopped by a group of media, he happened to get a feel for Su Feng's intentions about participating in other projects.

This is also the meaning of the leaders of the General Administration. The deputy leader of the General Administration called yesterday and asked him to have the opportunity to ask the athletes in person. This is more direct than communicating with the coach, and it can better understand the mentality of the athletes.

With Su Feng's running results in the 100 meters, he is definitely world-class competitive in the 200 meters. If he can run at the same time, it will be two medals, or even two gold medals.

There is also the men's 4×100 meters that will be held next. If Su Feng can participate in any club, it will definitely be the strongest club, and the improvement in performance will undoubtedly be huge.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guozheng asked, "Su Feng, what do you think about the 200 meters, and the 4×100 meters? Coach Tian told me more than once, I want you Join the relay team."

Zhang Guozheng spoke to Su Feng in an equal or even negotiating tone.

For ordinary athletes, this is naturally not necessary. The middle-level leaders of the General Administration specify that athletes should participate in an event, which means that the leaders are optimistic about you and think that you can achieve results, and it is too late for the athletes to be happy.

This is the national team. You don't just want to participate in any event. Like 4×100 meters, how many sprinters from the national team are vying for a place, even if they are alternates.

But Su Feng can't do it. Athletes who have reached a certain level of performance like this are basically irreplaceable. They are also treasures among the treasures in the national team, and their influence is also world-class. Naturally, they need to be discussed carefully.

Once participating in other projects, it will undoubtedly involve a considerable amount of energy, which naturally needs to be carefully considered by Su Feng and himself.

Otherwise, if Su Feng's core 100 meters is delayed, then this group of leaders will become the country's sinners.

Su Feng remained calm on the surface, but in fact he glanced at Zhang Guozheng beside him with some amusement in his heart.

Knowing that Su Feng was going to watch the game and was still in the stands, the team naturally couldn't let him come alone.

However, He Jun has been surrounded by the media, and several large media have invited him to conduct interviews. Some of them have national names, and they are also for the promotion of track and field. Naturally, He Jun can't refuse.

So Zhang Guozheng proposed to come here in person. He is a big team leader, and accompanying an athlete like him, needless to say, he was holding back some thoughts, and now the fox's tail finally showed.

"This..." Su Feng pondered for a moment.

It's not that He Jun didn't talk to him about this issue, but what He Jun meant at that time was that Su Feng's 100-meter performance and status were not yet stable, so he refused.

Lao He's thoughts are actually easy to understand. It is similar to Su Feiren's situation in his previous life. Originally, Asians are physically weaker than blacks. If they participate in multiple events in one competition, the athletes' performance will be greatly affected.

But Su Feng's body is not comparable to that of ordinary Asians. Even compared with blacks, it is top-notch. In fact, there is no need to worry about it.

And now that Su Feng has achieved what he should have achieved in the 100 meters, he can share some real thoughts with the leader.

Thinking of this, Su Feng nodded, and said what he and He Jun had discussed a long time ago: "Team Zhang, I have already considered this. September 9st is the No.1 Asian Championships, and September 16th This is the first time that Shanghai has hosted the IAAF Grand Prix.

I am afraid that the masters like Gatling will come to Shanghai that time, and I only ran 100 meters.

But for the Asian Championships, I will participate in the 100m and 200m at the same time. "

This is the content of the compromise between Su Feng and He Jun. Even though he has won the gold medal in the World Championships, He Jun is still worried about his physical strength.It is also impossible for Su Feng to directly say that I have a system and I am afraid of anyone!

So I will try it from the Asian Championships, and if there is no problem, I will run 200 meters in other major competitions.

As for why it is the Asian Championships, one reason is that it is not easy for them to drag the general team all the time because the time is short.

Second, in terms of Su Feng's strength, in the Asian Championships, 100 meters is definitely at an even level. Even if he runs 200 meters at the same time, no one can stop him from winning the championship!

Su Feng still had this confidence.

"Okay!" Zhang Guozheng clapped his hands, the task was finally completed, and Su Feng agreed to run 200 meters!This is great news for the General Administration and the Field Management Center.

"Then 4 x 100 meters?" Zhang Guozheng asked greedily.
