just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 118 Before the semifinals,

……

Rest area on the other side of the track

Zhao Lin's coach is being "tangled" by Liu Ren at the moment.

Just now when Zhao Lin's results came out in the arena, there was a bit of excitement here.Leaders, other coaches and athletes, staff, all applauded.And very sincere excitement and excitement.This is the first Chinese athlete to run so close to the 10-second mark.

It was obviously a great breakthrough, and they had heard the report from Lin Mu and the leaders before. Zhao Lin didn't run at his best when he ran just now.The adjustment has not been fully adapted, what if it is fully adapted?That?
It may break for 10 seconds!

The yellow race is the first to break 10 seconds!Such a result may seem unusual to European and American audiences, and even some top athletes dismiss it.But in the eyes of Chinese people, even Asians, that is definitely a big deal.This will not be an honor for the athletes alone. Everyone in the delegation will be rewarded. Even if the other events are all black, they can walk back to Yanjing with their heads held high!
The leaders should be a little more reserved. After all, they are approaching. They haven't arrived yet, so they can still live.Just smiling and applauding non-stop.The staff and some of the coaches were not close to Lin Mu, nor did they do much, they just congratulated with excitement.

But Liu Ren, who brought the relay team over to step on the field today, has no restraint, and exploded in an instant!
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhao is fine! Let's go back after breaking him for 10 seconds this time, let Xiao Japan's record go to hell, we will be No. 1 in the yellow race! Also, the finals are over tomorrow, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang Just hand it over to me..."

With Lin Mu half in his arms, he wished he could stick to Lin Mu's body. The "heavy" figure squeezed around Lin Mu, making a man with a height of 179 and a weight of more than 70 kilograms look extraordinarily slender.

He was really happy, not only for Xiao Lin and Zhao Lin, but also for himself.Happy for the track team.Zhao Lin has the ability to run for 10 seconds in a single event, and Yang Zuyao now has the ability to run within 10 seconds and 10. As the second of 4 people in the relay, with some tacit cooperation, the relay event definitely has a chance to shine!He is now the head coach of the relay.

As for the tacit understanding, that is honed out, besides, do we lack tacit understanding?No!Even if Huaxia didn't have the top 1m and 2m runners in Asia before, the relay was never too weak.

"Old Liu... I can't breathe... Xiao Zhao will leave it to you, but Xiao Yang, don't be too cruel... On the 28th..."

Affected by Liu Ren's actions, Lin Mu really felt a little oppressed, so he hurriedly answered his words, and he also tried his best to squeeze out of Liu Ren's arms, not to mention, he was born as an athlete after all, even though he is now fat Yes, this power is really not weak!
"Look, the semi-final list is out!"

The staff of the delegation shouted, which attracted Liu Ren's attention and "rescued" Lin Mu.Lin Mu, who had escaped from the clutches, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his attention to the electronic screen showing the results.

Half of the 32 people were directly eliminated, which was extremely cruel, but at this time, except for those who really cared about them, the others obviously paid little attention to these frustrated people.In competitive sports, all the care and attention will only be given to those who run to the end. 32 people, and then to 16 people.At this time, almost everyone was looking at the list of 16 people displayed on the electronic screen.

Ranking, name, nationality, number, semi-final results, an interpreter of the delegation, read the above content word by word, from top to bottom.The third name, Zhao Lin, is the first in the fourth group, with a time of 10 seconds. Before him, there are only Montgomery and Green, who are also the only two players who ran under 01 seconds in the previous races of this World Championships.

As expected, since the rematch is over, they already know the results.But when they actually saw No.3 displayed on the electronic screen, they were still very excited.Until I read No.11, Yang Zuyao.The atmosphere here in the delegation has reached a climax.Although this result is slightly worse than the subsequent scores of 14 and 15, and only the third player in the group is ranked 11th, but if you enter, you will enter.

"Okay! Okay!" Yu Weili kept applauding, his lips trembling a little, and he kept yelling "Hello". At this moment, he didn't know what to say to express his emotions.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to that special period, Huaxia's track and field people worked hard in silence.Then the country reappeared on the world stage. Since then, generations of track and field people have worked hard to pursue higher, faster, and stronger goals, and show our own strength to Asia and the world.

Some of the names have long been forgotten, but these track and field people will never forget them.Now a new batch has come up, following in the footsteps of the predecessors, and finally turned a new page.

Men's [-] meters, a jewel in the track and field, is the heaviest race in all track and field events.Two athletes from our own country entered the semi-finals at the same time, and depending on the results, one of them may have a great chance to enter the final.How can this keep them from getting excited.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, very good! Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yang, come here, come here!" Luo Yi also blushed, pulled Lin Mu, and waved to Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao.

He is the head of the delegation, and when he went out, he only thought about securing a certain honor in the traditional events. As for the track and short track, in his heart, he only pinned his hopes on Liu Xiang, the hurdler.I never dared to hope that there would be any major breakthrough on the [-]-meter straight which is head-to-head.This was a complete surprise.Now he doesn't even care about the hurdles anymore, how the hurdles can be compared with the [-] meters, this is a move that transcends the boundaries of race.How significant it is.

Looking at the three people around him, Luo Yi was very relieved, encouraged and talked kindly, and only made a wish!
The rest of the delegation vaguely formed a circle around the leaders and these three people.Looking at the earnest concern of the leaders, it would be a lie to say that I don't envy, but I didn't say anything about envy, let alone hate.This is what they worked hard for.

"Have you come this far? 10 seconds 01, I'm not wronged!"

A few meters away, except for their coach and Shen Bao who were relatively close to each other, the relay team was relatively close.Chen Jianhai and Shen Huan were on the outside.

Shen Huan tried his best to control his expression, not wanting to show the remorse and gloom in his heart, while Chen Jianhai remained silent, looking at the electronic screen, and then at the two teammates in the inner circle, murmuring nagging.

After losing two games, after the first game, he was not at ease, because he thought that his strength was evenly matched, and it was just a matter of one or two performance problems.Going to Quancheng again, I fought hard under the crisis, and finally failed again.This defeat also completely lost all his previous accumulation in the national team.

He failed to participate in the individual events of the World Championships, and next year's Olympics, if he does not have further results, he will also not be able to enter.At one time, his heart was very heavy, but at this moment, his heart was relieved. Yang Zuyao, he might be able to keep up with it, but Zhao Lin, he really couldn't keep up.If he participates in the World Championships this time, he feels that it should be possible to enter the semi-finals, but he himself knows that there is not much hope for the semi-finals.

Looking back on my sports career, I entered the junior sports school at the age of 11, entered the track and field team of the Provincial Sports Academy at the age of 14, and entered the national team at the age of 22. Over the past ten years, there have been ups and downs along the way.From an ignorant boy to a young man who is proud of the country.

The two national championship champions in 2000 and 2001 were injured before the 2001th National Games in 2002 and could not participate in the competition. In [-], they entered the national team to participate in the Asian Games.From that time on, he felt the gap with foreign players, even the top players in Asia.

Looking back now, it seems that from that moment, Chen Jianhai felt that his mentality had changed.

Foreign countries can't catch up, and I'm sure in my heart that it will be difficult to catch up in the future.Domestic practice comes and goes, it is 10 seconds 10, 10 seconds 20, so what?He found that he seemed to have no direction.He even thought at one time that it might be true that, as foreign experts said, people of the yellow race simply have that so-called limit.

Although he didn't give up and continue training, he seemed to be more focused on adjusting his state. As for breaking through himself...

But after the defeat, and now, he seemed to wake up in an instant. It is not impossible, and the so-called limit may not be accurate.

There have been slack and helplessness, but now Chen Jianhai has rekindled the idea of ​​an athlete to catch up.

Work hard silently, even if I really can't catch up with you, then I have to know where my limit is!
"I also have a 4*100m race, I won't fall too far!" Chen Jianhai said silently in his heart.

……

"xx Sports News, at 26 o'clock in the morning on the 1th Yanjing time, Chinese sprinters Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao successfully advanced to the semi-finals with the third and No. "

"xx sports news, our country's sprint has ushered in a new breakthrough. Two people participated in the competition, and two entered the semi-finals. At the same time, this result also tied the best result of an Asian player in the world competition..."

"xx sports news, our country's player Zhao Lin once again broke the national record, this result is only 0.01 away from the Asian record..."

"..."

Since the early morning of August 8, major domestic websites have released the latest news of the World Championships, and this 26-meter rematch is obviously the top priority.All kinds of comments are even more enthusiastic.The Internet has just developed, and although the number of the first batch of netizens is not too many, they are quite active.No matter how much they understand track and field or sprint, they all rushed in one after another.

"Zhao Lin, come on! Try to be the first Asian player to break 10 seconds!"

"Zhao Lin, come on, Huaxia, come on!"

"I have been paying attention to Zhao Lin, but I have seen his first outdoor game, our pride, good job!"

"Zhao Lin is mighty, Yang Zuyao is mighty, China will win!"

"The rematch was broadcasted, I didn't know...the semi-finals were broadcasted!?"

"The person upstairs is not from Huaxia, the identification is complete! The semi-finals will be rebroadcasted, and yesterday's simulcast news has announced it!"

Netizens were discussing enthusiastically in an excited and passionate atmosphere, and the noisy day did not stop.Before it calmed down a bit, the situation at night pushed the atmosphere to a climax again.

"Now is a group of good news from the World Championships in Paris. In the men's 26-meter rematch of the World Championships in Athletics held in the early morning of the 100th Yanjing time, the 18-year-old Chinese athlete Zhao Lin won the first place in the group with a time of 10 seconds. , At the same time, in the first group of the previous rematch, Chinese player Yang Zuyao also ran a good result of 01 seconds 10 and ranked third. The two successfully advanced to the semi-finals and became the first two in my country to advance to the semi-finals of the 13-meter event in the World Series. At the same time, this result also tied the best result of an Asian player in the world competition in this event...

At 27 am on the 1th Yanjing time, Channel 100 of our station will broadcast the men's 4m semi-finals of the World Championships live, and the final will be broadcast live at [-] am, so stay tuned. "

Yanjing time, at 8:26 p.m. on August 7, the first channel of CCTV broadcasted the news immediately after introducing the latest developments of the country's leaders.On the TV screen, more than 20 seconds later, while the images of the two rematch games were being played, the announcer dictated the news from the World Championships.Clearly delivered to thousands of households.

As the most watched program in the country, after a few seconds of yesterday's broadcast, today's scene was even more sensational.Anyone who is a little knowledgeable can distinguish some flavors.

……

Yanjing DC District, Gu Heng's home.

Gu Heng turned on the light secretly, rolled over from the bed, and moved cautiously.It was already the middle of the night. After getting up, he put on a piece of clothing and walked towards the living room.

"Old Gu, why are you going?"

Gu Heng's wife seemed to be awakened by the light in the room, and asked with a mutter.

"Watch TV, you must watch it today, you continue to sleep, leave me alone." Gu Heng did not stop, and the voice finally came from the living room.

The old lady also got up, grabbed a piece of clothing and walked towards the living room while draping it on. She complained, "Why are you so crazy? You promised your son that if you don't stay up late, you can't watch it tomorrow?"

"Hey, can't sleep, can't you?! Let me tell you, you must watch the game tonight. Don't tell your son, I'll go to bed after watching, or I won't be at ease!"

Gu Heng smiled and helped his wife to sit on the sofa, and turned on the TV casually.After watching the game at 1 o'clock yesterday, I was excited for a long time, and called Yu Weili's cell phone again.After this tossing, it was only at 3 o'clock that I fell asleep.After the son found out, he was very worried, so he specially called and asked the old father not to stay up late.

It was a good promise, but when the time came, he couldn't control whether he agreed or not.

"You old man, what you said..." The old lady kept complaining, but in the end she didn't force her wife to go back. She got up and poured a glass of water in front of the old man, and sat down with her.

She knew that he couldn't let go of these things for the rest of his life.And he knew better, how difficult it was this time.Married to a sportsman and been with him for decades, how could she not understand some things.

She also believes that there must be many people like the old man in the whole country, no matter the time or place, they are waiting.

There are indeed a lot of people who are also paying attention, gathering in groups of three or four around the TV, looking for other activities while waiting.Or at home, or outside.

"Is this woman 800 meters behind? You say these big girls are really black!"

"There are men's 3000-meter hurdles and men's 400-meter hurdles ahead, and the 1-meter semi-finals will not start until [-] o'clock!"

"Isn't it reported in the news? The semi-finals at 1 o'clock, the final at 4 o'clock, come on, you play your cards, we will stop for a while when the semi-finals start, and we will continue when we are done. Let's do it until 4 o'clock."

"Can you make it to the final? Not to the semi-final..."

"Hold on, what's the problem with entering the finals, hurry up and play the cards. The time to finish this lap is almost exactly..."

"..."
