just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 227 Yanjing Indoor Competition

Yanjing Huangsi Gymnasium

indoor track,
On the first competition day of the Yanjing Indoor Competition, the morning competition was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Because there are many athletes participating, the indoor competition of this station is a two-day schedule.There are a total of 25 events for men and women, except for men's and women's 4*400m relay and short-distance relay events, covering almost all the current international formal indoor competitions.

The men's 60m competition in this station is arranged on the first day of the competition, with preliminaries in the morning and finals in the afternoon. The 200-meter race will be held the next day, and the schedule is similar to that of the 60-meter race.

2月22日，上午10点10分，男子60米比赛选手开始按照国际赛事的标准进入了最后的准备程序。检录、点名、检查物品、存留尿检样本……

At 10:30 in the morning, the men's 60-meter preliminaries began.

There are a total of 74 contestants in this preliminaries, which are divided into 9 preliminaries. All the permanent and temporary athletes of the National Relay Team signed up for the 60-meter race at this station.It also includes Yang Zuyao and Zhu Kun who only participated in the 200-meter race in the first two races.

According to the default practice of general competitions, the organizing committee basically arranges the participants of each group according to their level and fame when arranging the group times.The promotion rules adopt the ranking of the total scores of the preliminaries, and the top 8 in the final total scores enter the finals.

The 60-meter preliminaries are carried out very quickly, with a group of two to three minutes, and the rhythm is very tight.Even the audience present at the scene felt that there was too little time for them to shout for the stars.

In previous competitions, in individual events, there were only one or two or at most two or three people who could be their targets, including the on-site host. When the players were introduced, they would naturally draw some key points intentionally or unintentionally.

But today, as groups of players take turns taking the field, as athletes from the national team appear on the stage one after another, and with the enthusiasm of the host of the event, the warm atmosphere brought by the stars in the stadium is gradually heightened.No matter why they came here before or whether they really knew the athletes' information, now they all know that there are so many people...

Under the continuous atmosphere of the scene, the competition progressed to the last group of the preliminaries. As soon as the 8 contestants appeared on the stage, the emotions of the audience in the stadium were completely pushed to the peak.

As soon as he entered the arena, Zhao Lin, who was on the stage, was surrounded by countless shouts of "flying man!" "Zhao Lin!" and cheering, which made him unconsciously infected again.Compared with the wide field of outdoor competitions, the atmosphere created by only a few thousand people shouting at one person in a closed indoor field is much stronger.

Habitually pressing his chest with his left hand and raising his right hand high, he turned around with a slight smile and waved to all the audience.

After the smile, Zhao Lin's face gradually became serious. In fact, his heart was even more serious.

A year ago, in this venue, he was dispensable and transparent.He once imagined that one day he would also be in this venue, and he would be treated like the current crowd.

However, now that he really had it, he felt a little uneasy. He felt that he couldn't bear it when he stepped on the stage and the audience cheered.

The coach said that people should often introspect themselves, didn't they also say in the book, to introspect themselves!

In the indoor arena, my 60-meter performance is too poor. From last year to now, I have never run within 6 seconds, and Bao Ge even ran 6 seconds.Even the one who ran to 6 last year, left the coach for so long, and his performance fluctuated, but after receiving the coach's guidance again, he ran to 57 again just before, which is even better than last year 6.But what about me?

Even Brother Yang rarely runs 60 meters. This time he ran 60 meters just to get a feel for the combination of starting and speeding techniques.But I also ran 6 seconds, which was almost less than my best time. How could I cope with this?The enthusiasm that the audience gave me was based on my previous achievements.Now I'm gnawing my money a little bit!
The starting speed is still too slow. What the coach taught him this time is really difficult, and he feels that running 60 meters is even more difficult!

You still have to hurry up and get used to what the coach taught you!Zhao Lin sighed softly in his heart.

I don’t know what Brother Yang is thinking!When he thought about what the coach taught, Zhao Lin couldn't help but think of Brother Yang's recent troubles.He really didn't understand what Yang Zuyao was thinking. The coach had said what top athletes were like and was willing to train them.But he just didn't feel right.

Out of respect for the coach and Yang Zuyao, although he had some opinions, he didn't say anything.But how could he not see something, even that little Zhu could see a lot, let alone him? !
The coach said that top athletes should have their own judgment, but you must first make sure that your current judgment cannot surpass what the coach can bring to you, right?What the coach can’t teach, or it’s already inconvenient to teach, it’s right for you to judge and ponder for yourself, but what if the coach is more advanced, more scientific, and can help you improve?Is it because of this awareness rather than tossing?
He kind of understands what the coach means, and he may think more about their future development, but Zhao Lin also doesn't agree.In his judgment, he doesn't think he and Yang Zuyao's careers will reach the point where the coach can't teach them.Maybe he will retire someday, maybe he will also be a coach, but he also doesn't think that any of them can stand shoulder to shoulder with the coach.In his opinion, this is not idealism!
Brother Yang seems to have some changes in consciousness. He occasionally discovered it during the training two days ago. Now he only hopes that it is really...

Forget it, I can't worry so much!Shaking his head, Zhao Lin moved his body to his starting position.

Facing the eager or fiery eyes of the players in the same group, Zhao Lin just looked at each other for a while, and then began to make his pre-match preparations without distraction.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"preparation!"

"Bang~"

A starting gun sounded, and in the brief silence of the gymnasium, the crisp sound of the starting gun seemed particularly loud.

As the gun fired, the same exciting tune sounded again, and with another explosion of cheers from the audience, the eight contestants from the ninth group of the preliminaries rushed out of the starting line and rushed towards the finish line!

"Come on~"

"come on!"

"Oh~"

A few seconds passed by quickly, and the audience just had time to focus on the goal, shouted a few times with enthusiasm, and the 8 contestants have already crossed the finish line one after another...

"6 seconds 58!"

At the finish line, the timing card instantly scored No.1!

sidelines,

"Not bad, not bad! Xiao Zhao ran well this time! These athletes also ran well!"

Seeing all the results of this group displayed on the big screen that came later, Yuan Guohua couldn't help but praise.

There were no accidents, even during the running-in period, Zhao Lin still successfully completed the race and won, and won the first place in the group with a time of less than 6 for the first time.

Hearing Yuan Guohua's praise, Lin Mu only nodded slightly.It is good to say that there is a breakthrough in performance, and the running attitude and competitive state are good.But the process is still a lot worse after all.

In terms of starting reaction, due to the improvement of attributes and the slight enhancement after skill improvement, Zhao Lin is not bad now, about 0.15 normally, and occasionally he can make breakthroughs if he is more passionate.

In this game, Zhao Lin's response was 0.141, which was quite satisfactory, ranking second in the group.The No. 1 player is a player from eastern Guangdong who struggled with Zhao Lin for most of the game.

The "these" athletes Yuan Guohua mentioned just now, Lin Mu estimated that most of them were him!This player, Lin Mu has an impression, is currently one of the top players in the sprint event in East Guangdong, with a regular level of 10 for the 40 meters.During the winter training, Yuedong had intentionally tried to improve the running rhythm.It's just a few discussions, and in the end it's just a tinkering of choices.

Regarding this point, Lin Mu did not express any opinion.There are too many athletes of this type in China, and not all athletes and coaches have the determination and courage to try.Now it seems that the strengthening of local quality has indeed made great progress, but it still does not escape the limitations of the original rhythm.

Moreover, when Zhao Lin started to sprint with all his strength, the distance behind him seemed extraordinarily fast.The reason why he was able to entangle with Zhao Lin for more than 40 meters was only because Zhao Lin's current starting speed was too weak.

Mechanically, even if the swinging leg moves forward at extremely high speed, it is still a little clumsy, mainly due to the lack of deep memory.The muscle memory of the stride length is not deep, and the angle of the body's forward lean and the folding and forward movement of the swinging leg are even a bit deliberate.In a race like 60 meters, the acceleration process of more than half of the distance is extremely slow.

Lin Mu didn't specifically emphasize how to run 60 meters, but in fact, as long as the sprint events are not 400 meters that need to deliberately control the rhythm, the core of other events are common.

Use the most efficient starting speed, use the highest speed to maintain a longer en route, and use the most explosive power to complete the sprint, the principle will never change.A top 60-meter runner, as long as his skills are formed, his performance will not be too different because of the difference between 100 meters and [-] meters.

Standardizing the stride length and standardizing the acceleration movements is actually to finalize the technical rhythm of this part. As long as you have a deep enough memory for the stride length, stride distance, and stride frequency, no matter you are 48 meters or 45 steps or 42 steps, or even For steps 43 and [-], as long as you enter the competition, there may be occasional differences in the size of the steps, but the overall speed curve will not change much. If the changes fluctuate greatly, it can only prove that the athlete's cultivation is not yet at home.

For example, the current Zhao Lin is obviously the type who has not yet reached the level of cultivation.Not only him, but also several people who played before had problems here and there.

Lin Mu wasn't disappointed. Disappointment itself stemmed from undue expectations.Lin Mu didn't expect them to wake up instantly like enlightenment. Sports are not fantasy.

Moreover, perhaps in his opinion, this kind of running-in process, the process of increasing the running-in memory a little bit can be a little longer.Let them be in the process of running-in, so that the awareness of this feeling in the body can be deeper.Lin Mu didn't want them to practice a fixed routine in a certain situation. Only with a deep enough rhythm awareness can they often complete their own rhythm adjustments in the process of continuous strengthening of physical fitness in the future.This is what Lin Mu thinks is the greatest significance of this change.

"Lao Meng, Lao Chen!" Thinking of this, Lin Mu turned his head and called out to Coach Meng, Chen Jianhai's supervisor, and Coach Chen, who was leading He Jun.

"Director Lin!"

"Director Lin!"

Originally waiting for the follow-up display on the big screen at the scene, when he heard Lin Mu's call, he hurriedly moved closer.

"Well~ I just thought of it temporarily, and I just wanted to communicate with you!" Lin Mu said with a smile, "Including Lao Liu..."

"Hey, this final list is interesting! Haha!" After being called by Lin Mu, Liu Ren still watched the final list of the men's 60-meter competition played on the big screen before turning around.

What Liu Ren said also made several coaches refocus their attention on the big screen at the scene.

The scores of the contestants on the big screen are sorted and displayed in order:
"1, Shen Huan, Nanhu, 6 seconds, Q;

2. Shen Bao, Suzhou Province, 6 seconds, Q;

3. Zhao Lin, Nanhu, 6 seconds, Q;

4. Chen Jianhai, Guangdong East, 6 seconds 603, Q;

5. He Jun, Yucheng, time 6 seconds, Q;

6. Yang Zuyao, Shanghai, 6 seconds, Q;

7. Zhu Kun, Hui Province, 6 seconds, Q;

8. Hu Ke, Huaqing, time 6, Q;”

……

After reading the list of finalists, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile.

After watching the entire preliminaries before, they already know who will enter the finals.But when they are actually typed out one by one, this arrangement is really interesting to look at.

The overall results are good. According to the previous domestic results, even some smaller indoor competitions in the world, such a group of results can be considered good.This almost represents the current highest level in the 60-meter sprint event in China.

What's really interesting is that these 8 people are all current and future members of the team that Lin Mu is currently in charge of.An indoor match, the final evolved into a practice match for the team.

Lin Mu smiled nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter who wins or loses, the process of the game is important..."

The results are there. At present, it is really difficult to find domestic players who can compete with them, even if they are in the running-in period.

The other coaches also nodded in agreement. It really doesn't matter who wins or loses. They also include these athletes. No one cares about a championship title in an indoor competition.

"Talk about the question just now!" Lin Mu withdrew his gaze, looked at the few people, and said, "The training plan you made before, according to the progress I have observed now, is no accident. I think it will take a month or two. It can basically achieve the initial effect. Maybe in the following period of stable running-in, the performance will improve, which can be expected... But I think that in the training plan, maybe we can try something..."

When it comes to the training plan, even Chen Guobin, who has been acting as a little transparent not long after he came in, is instantly full of energy at this time.

"It doesn't need to be so formal. First of all, this is my personal suggestion, not the team's requirements for you. The final training plan will be based on the wishes of you and the athletes. The team and I personally have higher requirements for you. , but how much and how to improve. It’s up to you..."

In the gymnasium, the noise was slightly weaker than before, but it was still noisy, and several people got closer together.

Even if Lin Mu emphasized personal suggestions, the other coaches would not really take it for granted. Facts have proved that Lin Mu's suggestions are usually very constructive.

But what Lin Mu said next made them confused about how to make this decision.

"Director Lin, it's really difficult to make a decision. After all, this year's Olympic Games are only five months away. The next World Series is still two years away. The gap between them is too big...I'm afraid..."

Looking at the coaches and colleagues who were frowning and leaving to find their own athletes, Yuan Guohua said with a little worry.

Every change made by an athlete affects the whole body.What's more, the changes of several athletes will directly affect their overall relay events.Although Lin Mu is the head coach of the relay, most of the time he is in charge of the overall planning direction.Liu Ren is still in charge of the real relay training and competition, but as the head coach of the team, no matter how you calculate it, they are inseparable.

"Don't worry, old Yuan, what I said is a personal suggestion, just a development idea I put forward. The design involves the development methods and concepts of athletes. No one will impose it on others..."

"I don't...forget it! I can't judge what the situation is now, let's wait and see!" Yuan Guohua shook his head, he was refreshed by Lin Mu again and again.

People often say that those who are half a step ahead are geniuses, and those who are one step ahead are madmen.In Yuan Guohua's view, Lin Mu was completely between half-step and one-step.He has some bad judgment.

"Let's go too, the athletes should have assembled, take a good rest at noon, and the final in the afternoon..."

……

18:10 in the afternoon,
Before the 60m final, the contestants in the inspection room are in the waiting area.

The eight athletes in the final have completed the pre-match inspection and sat quietly in their seats.

Although they are all familiar teammates, when it comes to the competition stage, whether it is due to the disciplinary requirements of the competition party or their own reasons, they will not communicate with each other much.

What's more, at noon, the coach's brief conversation made them not have much thought to greet their teammates.

Present, future, sustainable development?It's really a headache, and it's also a difficult decision. Let's finish this race first...

Sitting in a corner, Hu Ke glanced at the other people in the same room from time to time, Hu Ke's heart was a little tumbling.It should have been a happy thing to enter the final, but now he is a little unhappy.

It's not that these people put pressure on him. Before the race, he never thought that he could surpass those people with his current level.But Xiao Zhu, who usually doesn't have a strong sense of presence on the training ground and has a special 200-meter, has higher results than him, which makes him a little difficult to deal with himself.

He has understood that this Zhu Kun, who is a few years younger than him, was a 10-meter athlete with average performance before October last year. All the turning points have only passed a few months, and it is only because of that people.

7 people, relay team!Hu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, his thoughts kept beating.

In the inspection room, the athletes did not wait too long. Following the roll call to confirm the number again, 8 people followed the leading staff and walked into the track and field of the indoor venue.

As soon as the final lineup, which can be regarded as luxurious in China, came on stage, the cheers on the scene went up to the ceiling. No matter how you count it, such a final lineup is indeed rare in China.

Walking at the end of the queue, Hu Ke felt a little trembling in his heart when he saw the random actions of the few people in front of him, but he seemed to be restless.

"preparation!"

The familiar preparatory voice sounded.

"Bang~"

With the sound of the starting gun, the men's 60-meter final of the Yanjing Indoor Competition began...
