just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 255 The First Game

Athens Olympic Village

After a day's work, Li Rongfu returned to his room.

After taking a shower and pouring himself a glass of water, Li Rongfu leaned on the sofa in a comfortable posture.

"It's really not good if you don't accept the old..."

Gently rubbing his stiff waist and legs, and shaking his aching shoulders, Li Rongfu secretly sighed in his heart.

Although I have been exercising non-stop, and my body is not seriously ill, I feel that I belong to the type of old and healthy.However, the minor injuries and illnesses accumulated since the athlete's childhood will inevitably appear from time to time as they grow older.It would be fine if he was pampered and pampered at ordinary times, but it would be really uncomfortable if he was a little tired.

He has been busy since the preparations for the Olympic Games, and he is still busy until now when he leads the team.In the next few months, he really felt a little overwhelmed.

Many experts and scholars have said that the reasonable training age for athletes should be after the age of 16, when all parts are basically fully developed.At this time, high-intensity training can have the least impact on the body.

But how can there be such a wishful thinking, he admits that this statement is correct, and his own feelings are extraordinarily real.But there is no way, it can be said that most of the sports that require body-based, there is no way to wait for their real physical maturity before training.Often at that time, the effect that training can achieve is ten times or a hundred times lower than before.

"The foundation is still too weak~" Li Rongfu shook his head helplessly.

Many times, he felt sad when he saw the miserable conditions of those athletes who trained hard because they were very young, and finally retired because of no achievements, and even suffered from injuries. This is a real physical injury.

If it wasn't because of some achievements, if he didn't become a coach and a leader later, maybe he would be one of them.He was born in table tennis, so the damage to the body's antagonism and the explosive training of some muscles is actually relatively small.But even so, there are many discomforts, not to mention the others.Such as weightlifting, such as track and field, that is a real project that overdraws the potential of life.

"Forget it, now the country's conditions are gradually improving, let's make up for them as much as possible!"

Sighing lightly, Li Rongfu laughed at himself, really worried.

I will retire at the end of the year, and it is not my turn to worry about it again.

He has received news that he will retire at the end of the year.To be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable.He is not the so-called vice-ministerial leader of Lianzhan. He is an ordinary citizen who was born as an athlete. He feels lucky enough to be able to reach this position.

He just feels that he is not too old, and he still wants to contribute to the country's sports cause.However, the system is here, and with his rank and position, he is 62 years old, and his age has reached the point.

"Stand on the last post!"

Picking up the water glass and taking a sip, Li Rongfu calmed down and turned on the TV in the room.

He is one or two leaders in the forefront of the delegation, and the treatment given by the organizing committee in all aspects cannot be the same as that of other ordinary members.An independent suite should be fully equipped, which is inevitable.

"The second group of the men's 400m preliminaries is about to start, the athletes..."

Before the TV screen was turned on, the extremely fast English commentary came through the screen.

"400 meters? Well, that coach Kobayashi's race!"

Li Rongfu realized in an instant, if you asked him to find so-and-so competitions in other sports, he might really not remember clearly, but the contrast between the past and this time in the track and field sprint event is too strong, it would be difficult for him not to remember.I thought I had time to take a look before, but now it's just right.

The TV screen was fully turned on, and the camera followed the narrator's quick introduction, one runway after another.

"Hey, this body looks solid and full of strength! I really didn't notice it this morning, this coach Xiaolin is good!"

When introducing the seventh track, Chinese athlete Lin Mu, Li Rongfu looked at Lin Mu on the screen and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

After seeing the advertisements of the track and field team's Chinese New Year meeting, he still knew some information about Lin Mu.He has always disliked the bells and whistles of athletes playing motivational stunts.Because more often, these gimmicks are mostly tricks to fool people.

Everyone knows that any athlete who has achieved results is not diligent and hardworking. For a certain moment, everything is worth it.There's no need to get sensational fake stuff.

After some understanding, he was really touched.He knows, the old problem, engaged in high-intensity training when he was very young, and did not have enough conditions and treatment to take special care of him, small injuries eventually accumulated into major injuries, and he retired.

Examples like this can be said to be everywhere in the country, and the general situation seems to be doomed.If you are lucky, if you have achieved results before the accident, you can still make a good living, and at worst, you can drag your body with constant problems for an ordinary life.

And those who are unlucky are poor and down and out.Because I practiced since childhood, the general culture is not high, it is difficult to find a good job, and many of them are even less able to do coolies due to the influence of injuries. In the end, it is possible to resent the organization and the country.

However, even with Lin Mu alone, he didn't want to get to the bottom of why athletes sentenced to "death penalty" could continue to return to the field.He just needs to know that there is such a person who always has blood in his chest and love for sports.It has not sunk down for more than a year, but has transformed gorgeously.

At the end of last year, various awards were selected. Now that I think about it, Li Rongfu feels a little regretful.The field management center was launched, and Lin Mu also had a certain weight, but in the end, because there were people with higher qualifications and emotional bonuses, Lin Mu could only get nothing.If he had known earlier, perhaps he would have done more work.Such a young model deserves a push.

You are still young, and it is not too late. It depends on how you can do in this Olympic Games. If you can, my old Li, the last class, is also willing to give you a hand.

Li Rongfu secretly made a decision in his heart, it was not for any one person, the country's sports industry needs people who can convey the spirit.

"Look at the competition, track and field events are really not easy!"

Li Rongfu sat up slightly, his eyes focused on the screen.

On the TV, the on-site instructions were issued,
Another electronic starting gun sounded.

Only through the screen, Li Rongfu could feel the enthusiasm of the stadium. He deeply lamented that the influence of track and field and the Olympic Games is really great.

"...The race has begun! Wow~ Lin Mu from Dongfang Huaxia made a wonderful start..."

……

olympic stadium

Shouts from the scene, shouts in various languages, like mountains and tsunami!
Although this is only a set of preliminaries, the men's sprint, even 400 meters, can still bring people a lot of visual impact.Compared with 200 meters and [-] meters, it is even more watchable.Because of the whole lap, all spectators in all positions of the audience can appreciate the demeanor of the athletes.

Fierce cheering and cheering poured into the arena wave after wave.

On the runway, the moment the gunshots sounded, Lin Mu rushed out of the starting line at the fastest speed.

This is the 400-meter preliminaries, and this is the venue of the Olympic Games. Lin Mu has enough reasons to treat it with full attention.

Because of the instillation and integration of the sprint knowledge in the encyclopedia, he has a good response and has completely integrated the starting reaction into his bones.

Most 400-meter athletes don't pay much attention to instant bursts at the start, and the same is true for the same group.Therefore, Lin Mu, who started running in full condition, rushed out in an instant with a reaction that was clearly a step ahead of others.

Don't think about the rhythm, don't think about the allocation, just go for a trip with all your heart, and thoroughly feel what you have been studying before.

Long before the game started, Lin Mu had already made a decision in his heart.

In fact, generally speaking, the so-called distribution of physical energy for 400 meters is not an absolute distribution, and the meaning of rhythm is greater.It is impossible to really consider tactics and physical fitness like middle-distance running, and sprint after retaining physical strength.

It seems to be the longest sprint, but in the final analysis it is still a sprint event, and the so-called distribution is only different from the acceleration of 200 meters.

The shorter the distance, the more you need a sufficiently fast starting speed and a long enough holding speed, while 400 meters is a relatively long process of starting speed.After all, it is also a process of starting speed, maintaining speed, and sprinting.

Generally, ordinary 400-meter athletes will stretch the stage of completely reaching the highest speed to between 150 meters and 250 meters, and the rest of the distance must be completed by physical endurance and willpower.

But this time, Lin Mu decided that he should stretch the starting distance to the limit he could bear, and run as fast as he could within the range.As for the possible weakness in the last 100 meters, this is exactly a process he needs to feel.

After all, in training, his skills can't really play a role, and he needs the situation in all states to enrich his analysis.

In fact, as early as the training camp, he considered whether to participate in one or two competitions to get familiar with it, but in the end because of the needs of the training camp and because he hadn't fully figured out some rhythmic things, he couldn't make the trip.

For him, this preliminaries can be regarded as a process that he feels the whole way. He has to show his best condition and use all the strength he has accumulated to run.As for the final result, what Lin Mu planned was to fight to the end.He has an encyclopedia, and he is not afraid of slight damage to his body and the impact of overdrawing his physical strength.

30米、50米、100米、150米、180米……

The silhouettes of the players on the runway quickly followed the curve and rushed to the first section of the straight, halfway through the straight. At this moment, all the people who paid attention to the game were attracted by the red figure on the 7th track.

Really fast and really crazy!
The fiery atmosphere at the scene rose higher and higher as the game progressed, and the roaring and shouting never stopped.Then the bursts of exclamations from time to time were still not covered up.

Those who don't understand think it's fast, and those who understand are amazed at the madness of the 7-way players.It seems that no 400-meter athlete has ever run a race at such an intense pace.

Speed ​​up, speed up...

The second bend was just around the corner, and Lin Mu kept cheering himself up.

In the first corner ahead, he just slightly slowed down the pace of acceleration, and used a relatively gentle curve to pull the acceleration process to 150 meters. Now, in the middle of the straight, his speed has been pulled to the peak.

He who is in lane 7 has already left the players in lane 8 behind.

Not enough, not yet at the limit...

Feeling the condition of his body, Lin Mu tried his best to squeeze out his strength again.

"Oh~"

"Wow~ Lin, the 7th Road Huaxia player, he is very fast now, he is in an absolute leading position, he is still accelerating, and he will enter the second corner soon..."

After the on-site host shouted passionately, he quickly explained the progress of the race, but in fact, the situation on the track was clear.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Mu was the first to step into the second curve. He took big strides, his body tilted in a beautiful arc, and rushed forward violently.

in the stands,
Yu Weili touched his forehead subconsciously. This was not the first time he was unconscious.

He used to be a 400-meter athlete and broke national records many times. At that time, he was also the top 400-meter athlete in Asia.He also has many years of teaching experience, and he has seen too many 400-meter races that he can't remember.

But he had never seen such a violent one.

Yes, fierce, a 400-meter athlete, the speed and rhythm of running, looks more violent than 200 meters.

From the start of the race to only 30 meters, he had already felt the madness of Lin Mu's run.It's just that he didn't expect it to be so crazy.Now he is nervous about being stimulated, and he is also worried about Lin Mu's next paragraph, and he is also worried about Lin Mu.

No matter what the performance is, running 400 meters like this alone will cause a big problem for the body.Because of fatigue, the body will have natural protection, and you forcibly suppress the protection mechanism to continue to create fatigue, which affects muscles, bones, and joints in all aspects.

"Slow down..."

Yu Weili clenched his fist tightly with one hand hanging down.

He didn't know what Lin Mu had in mind, but it was just the preliminaries. Even if it was the Olympic preliminaries, he was only the preliminaries.

Although many track and field athletes entering the Olympics, no matter domestic or foreign, as long as they have not reached the top level, they will try their best in the preliminaries, or even go beyond the limit, in order to squeeze into the next round or even the final.

But based on what he observed about Lin Mu's usual situation, he absolutely believed that an athlete who could run for 45 seconds couldn't even go all out in the preliminaries.

However, the situation on the court, Lin Mu's situation did not develop as he expected.

The cheering and shouting on the field became more and more enthusiastic. Even if it is related to the number of stretches, when it is close to the last straight, many things can already be seen.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of 300 meters passed, and the players rushed through the last corner and started to forge ahead on the straight.

At this time, the situation on the field is also completely clear, although there are many examples of catching up from behind in the 400-meter race.But the situation at the moment seems to be leading too far.

Keeping his big strides and waving his arms quickly, Lin Mu took the lead and rushed up the straight road.

And just after entering the straight road, Lin Mu finally felt that the feeling of heaviness in his body was gradually reaching the limit.

Very well, for me, this game really starts from this moment.

Trying to maintain the running rhythm, dragging his lead-filled body, Lin Mu rushed towards the finish line fiercely.

He is the seventh track, and he has already left the Somali player with the eighth track as early as in the middle.After that, he almost always ran alone.In his position, he couldn't see other players either.

He only glanced to the left and right from the corner of his eyes before stepping into the straight, and he had a clear judgment on the position.Originally, he would not think that with the speed ahead of him, he would lag behind others.Even if there are strong American players in the same group and Bahamian players who have run within 45 times this year.

Now after running up the straight, at the last distance, Lin Mu started his sprint, a sprint that relied on his will to feel the speed.

80 meters away from the finish line, he is still in the first position.

Behind him, the third and fifth players were frantically chasing after him with hideous faces.And the distance is slowly changing.

50 meters to the finish line...

Lin Mu is still in the lead, and the positions of the players on the field are completely divided into two poles. The seven, five, and three lanes in the first pole are clearly leading the other players by a large distance and are marching towards the finish line.

Because Lin Mu is still fighting for his life, and because there are only two places directly in the semi-finals, the two chasing players behind him have never had any mentality to dare to let go, and the distance has been narrowed one step closer!

There are still 30 meters, 20 meters to the finish line...

Lin Mu felt more and more unable to do what he wanted. He was not sure what his score would be this time, but he thought it was impossible to achieve his best efficiency.For the next few tens of meters, even if he tried his best to maintain it, his body's natural reaction had already made him feel that powerless.His running rhythm has become a little messed up!

The essence of all sprint events lies in speed and rhythm.Rhythm is the key to speed.He knew at this moment that he was a failure.

But it certainly wouldn't be too bad, not to mention he succeeded, he had the harvest he hoped for!

The corner of his eye swept towards Zuo Jin slightly again, the situation didn't count!Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was ready to fight for the best results and enter the semi-finals, because when he got the competition group, he knew that the Bahamas and American players in the same group had good strength.

He has always believed that his grades will not be too bad. According to the usual Olympic situation, it should not be a problem to enter the top 24.And now it's clearly better.

Faintly, Lin Mu seemed to be able to hear heavy footsteps and panting behind him, but now he was relieved.

There are still the last ten meters, a few steps away...

Squeezing again fiercely, Lin Mu rushed towards the finish line, and the sprint was completed almost unconsciously!
Bow your head, lean over, and cross the line.

In the blink of an eye, the two players behind him also crossed the finish line one after another.

on the timing board,

The result of No.1 was played instantly.

44 second 92!

After staggering and rushing forward for more than 10 meters, after turning his head slightly to look at the results on the timing card, Lin Mu finally relaxed for a while, and he also slumped on the runway.

Following that, the exhaustion of the body and the aches all over the body also reached the extreme at the same time, making him dizzy for a while.Reluctantly slowing down, he silently spent a few achievement points.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the big screen at the scene, and he wanted to confirm again.

"1, Lin Mu, Huaxia, 44 seconds;

2. Christopher Brown, Bahamas, 45 seconds 01;

3. Otis Harris, USA, 45 seconds;

4. Eric Mirazal, Mauritius, 45 seconds;

……

"beautiful~"

Olympic village,
Li Rongfu suddenly stood up and applauded the first moment the results were announced.It was only for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind turned rapidly!
