Chapter 318 The Olympics Are Coming
2008 year 7 month 27 day,
9:17 in the morning,
No.20 The Ninth Summer Olympics, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Village for the Yanjing Olympics will begin soon.

Early in the morning, the national track and field team, under the leadership of Yu Weili and Lin Mu, left the training camp and rushed to the event site.

There was a sea of ​​people, crowded with people, all the way against the enthusiasm of the audience and the media, the group finally found a place to stay.

Many athletes came here, not only the track and field team, but also many athletes from other sports came to the scene.

Wearing red, yellow, white, and three-color Chinese delegation costumes, the athletes of each team, whether they are acquaintances or not, are very enthusiastic. They greet other athletes around them from time to time and share their feelings. .

The track and field team seemed a little more excited.The start time of each Olympic track and field competition is relatively late. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the track and field team will be stationed in the Olympic Village much later.

No matter whether it is a new or old athlete, even Yu Weili has never formally participated in such an official village opening ceremony.At their doorstep, as the hosts of the Olympic Games, they are a little proud from the bottom of their hearts.Even Lin Mu, who had always been indifferent, seemed a little moved.

"The activity is about to start, Director Lin, in a moment, you and Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Liu represent our track and field team to participate in the ceremony!"

After scanning the scene, Yu Weili calmed down a bit, looked at the people around him, and gave Lin Mu an order with a smile.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhi from the basketball team, Yang Wei from gymnastics, and some domestically and internationally well-known athletes from many other sports have been pushed up as representatives to participate in the opening ceremony.

The Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhao mentioned by Yu Weili are naturally Yang Zuyao and Zhao Lin, and Xiao Liu can only be Liu Xiang.

After more than a month of tossing, Liu Xiang's condition did not improve much. In the end, he took conservative control as the main means to participate in the Olympic Games.Regarding this, Lin Mu was noncommittal. He also knew that participating in the competition was a must, but he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

He thought about whether to provide Liu Xiang with some help, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't cut in.

It was impossible for him to go to Sun Ping and tell Sun Ping to bring Liu Xiang under his name to be under management. Can't explain.

"Little Lin!?"

Before waiting for Lin Mu's response, he became a little silent instead, which made Yu Weili a little strange.He couldn't help but get closer and shouted again.

Don't think about something in a daze again! ?

Yu Weili was speechless.

Lin Mu smiled apologetically and shook his head, "Director Yu, I won't go..."

"That's not okay, you are now the sign of our track and field team."

Before Lin Mu finished speaking, Yu Weili interrupted, "This is your last Olympic Games, and you will be 33 in the next Olympic Games. If you want to go, no one will let you go..."

"and also……"

Yu Weili's "chattering" started again, and Lin Mu had a headache.

Yu Weili in the team and Lin Wenyue in his family, what he is most afraid of now is the nagging of these two people.

"Okay, okay, Director Yu, I'm afraid of you!" Lin Mu smiled helplessly, "Comrade Yu, when you get old, you like to chatter, don't you?"

"Haha, do you think I'm blocking your way?!" Yu Weili smiled brightly. He knew that Lin Mu was joking, and he also liked the feeling of talking with Lin Mu casually.

Lin Mu glanced at him, "What's in the way? I'm also the deputy head coach, you're not older than me, and I still have an Olympic gold medal."

"Hehe, your gold medal is gone. I've heard Mr. Gu show off to me several times!" Yu Wei smiled noncommittally, but his face couldn't help showing a little envy.

"Don't be envious, Comrade Yu, if you retire tomorrow, I'll send you a gold medal to see you off."

Lin Mu could see Yu Weili's mood, so he made a joke.

"Haha, just fool me! You have nothing in your pocket now!" With a raised brow, Yu Weili touched his head habitually, and the smile on Yu Weili's face became brighter.

He has been engaged in track and field all his life. The athlete is far away from the Olympic Games. The closest athlete he brought was only in the top eight. This is about to retire. He is happy that sprint is in such a situation now. Champions, gold medals, he thinks He is quite satisfied.

"What? You look very confident this time!?" Yu Weili smiled and said, "The white American who lost to you in 04 has performed very well in recent years. You have not been very good in normal competitions. Participating, he won a lot.

He often talked to you in the air and you didn't pay attention to him. Finally, I caught you again last year and lost to you again. People said that I was injured, but I was very unconvinced.This time it seems that your challenge is not small! "

Yu Weili smiled strangely, Variner has won dozens of games, and has won the million-dollar prize in the Golden League.Every time I interview, I have to mention Lin Mu, and I want to have a showdown with Lin Mu, but I have met Lin Mu three times and lost all of them, which is really interesting.Many people now say that Lin Mu is Varinac's nemesis.

"It's better than who knows!" Lin Mu smiled lightly, he was still a little confident, "This year should be my peak year, and it will be difficult for me to regain my current competitive state in the future. If I lose like this, It’s no one’s fault, no matter how hard you train your successors!”

"That's okay, Xiaolin, I just remember you missed me a medal! Haha!"

After a few years, Yu Weili now knows a lot about Lin Mu, and he can see Lin Mu's confidence.At this moment, Lin Mu is no longer a coach, but a real top athlete.He could see that Lin Mu had adjusted his state and mentality to the state during the game.

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, come, follow Lin's guidance..."

The opening ceremony of the village has already begun, and the leader is speaking, Yu Weili called out to several athletes, it is time to prepare to go up.

The scene became a little quieter, and senior Yanjing officials gave an opening speech.Then the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the head of the Olympic Village delivered speeches in turn.

After the last speaker has spoken, the ceremony ends.

Afterwards, the vermilion gate of the gatehouse of the traditional Chinese courtyard house opened slowly, and lively music was played on the spot.Hundreds of children in costumes of the Olympic mascot Fuwa ran onto the stage.

They released the colorful balloons in their hands and sent Fuwa and flowers to all guests.There was thunderous applause, flags were unfurled, and ribbons were all over the sky.With the fireworks in full bloom, Yanjing Olympic Village officially opened!
It is full of traditional characteristics, including the rich history of China as the background, and the unique ancient oriental civilization, which sends out the voice of China to the whole world.

Welcome guests from all over the world, show the Olympic spirit, Yanjing welcomes you.

Yanjing Olympics is coming!
……

奥运村正式开村，这里将陆续迎来世界200余个国家和地区的16000余名运动员和代表团官员。奥运会开幕是8月8号，比赛最早开始时8月5号，闭幕式是8月24号，而奥运村的闭村时间被定在了8月27日。

Following the arrangement, Lin Mu took several athletes to participate in the opening of the village. Surrounded by crowds, the event went smoothly.

At about 11 am, the Huaxia delegation including the track and field team entered the Huaxia residence of the Olympic Village.

After the solemn move-in ceremony and the hoisting of the five-star red flag, the Yanjing Olympic Chinese sports delegation, consisting of 644 athletes and a team of 1099 people, officially moved in.

The delegation will participate in all 28 major events and 38 sub-items of this Olympic Games, and launch an impact on 302 of the 214 minor events.

Under the leadership of Lin Mu and Yu Weili, the track and field team lived in the rooms that had been arranged in advance.

There was no time to tidy up immediately. The athletes, including Lin Mu and several other leaders, were all in high spirits. They were in small groups and couldn't wait to stroll around the Olympic Village.

The Olympic Village is the largest non-competition venue of the Olympic Games, and it will also be the place where domestic and foreign athletes will live daily in the coming days.A long time ago, there has been a lot of information about the Olympic Games and the Olympic Village.

The traffic in the Olympic Village is convenient. It takes only 10 minutes to walk to the main gymnasium of the "Bird's Nest" from here, and it is not far from other main stadiums.It provides great convenience to athletes.

Residential areas, general clinics, restaurants, multi-functional libraries, entertainment centers, leisure and sports areas, etc., all related service facilities are available.Swimming in the Olympic Village, the athletes were in high spirits.

Especially the members of the Huaxia delegation, who can see a strong Chinese flavor, make them feel very cordial.

Compared with what the athletes care about, although Lin Mu also has ups and downs about all this.But after he felt it for a while, he focused more on the sports facilities.

As early as a few months ago, Lin Mu asked the center to arrange a training venue nearby.Due to the emphasis on track and field and sprint events, various parties communicated with each other, and the result was no surprises, and it was done quickly.

The advantage of the host country is obvious, there is no dilapidated runway that was found with great difficulty like in Athens.According to the guidelines, Lin Mu, Yu Weili and several coaches came to a small training ground in less than 20 minutes from their station.

With a 200-meter runway and fairly complete training facilities, Lin Mu was very satisfied.

After stepping on the runway vigorously, and squatting down to touch the rough ground, Lin Mu nodded involuntarily.

"It's the same runway as the Bird's Nest, how about it?"

Yu Weili watched Lin Mu's movements and couldn't help smiling.

Lin Mu nodded gently, "Well, the quality of the runway is good, and it is also convenient for the athletes to adapt to the runway, which is very rare!"

"Yes, the General Administration and the Center have put in a lot of effort!" Yu Weili was a little bit emotional, and track and field events had never received such treatment in the past.

In preparing for the Olympic Games, there has always been enough attention paid to sports events that really have the hope of winning medals and gold medals.This is still a sports facility. Even if it is an athlete's personal problem, as long as it is reported, they will always try their best to solve it.

A whole-nation system includes all aspects.

However, track and field teams rarely received such treatment in the past.Everything is determined by grades, and people can't help feeling the cruelty of competitive sports.

Yu Weili was only slightly moved, and then seriously reminded, "Xiao Lin, this track is good, and he has adapted well, but he needs to pay more attention. Now the race is not far away, so don't make any more problems!"

"Well, I know, we have been using ordinary running shoes for training. In this kind of venue, it is not a big problem for a period of time. Occasionally using spikes is an adaptation state. Only less than 20 days, I will control this degree! "

Lin Mu nodded in response, he understood what Yu Weili meant.This track is very good. From the perspective of competition, it is hard enough and has good resilience, which is more conducive to grip and force during running.

But if you run on such a track for a long time, it will cause great damage to the ankle and Achilles tendon musculature.Especially wearing tightly wrapped spikes.Usually such a runway is not suitable for long-term training.

But after all, it won't take too long, so it's not a big problem.Moreover, starting from the winter training and gradually entering the final stage of training, the accumulation of quality and speed has gradually reduced the intensity of physical fitness training.

The core of the last paragraph is mainly dynamic core stabilization training, and their own attribute value increase speed has reached a relative peak.It doesn't make much sense to train hard at high speed for a period of time.

"If you think about it, you know it too!"

Yu Weili nodded in satisfaction, "I've also seen the venue, and it's up to you how to arrange the final stage. Going back!?"

"Then let's go, Director Yu!"

Looking at the venue, the last required assistance has been implemented.The next step is to adjust and prepare for the competition, and several people feel at ease in their hearts.

"Director Yu, I still have to take them to train for a period of time. Although Liu Tong is watching over the children at home, please find someone to take care of them. They can't enter the Olympic Village. There’s no time to go back and take care of them.”

On the way back, Lin Mu thought of the children who had just returned from Poland, so he begged Yu Weili, "I just took a few cards from the World Youth Championship, and we can't let them go away!"

"Hehe, Xiao Lin, you have assigned me now. Okay, just follow the instructions of your director Lin. After a few days for them to adjust, I will find someone to watch them all the way and let them experience the Olympic Games. 9 The competition scene for human beings is not comparable to the World Youth Championship."

After Yu Weili made a joke, he agreed with a smile.He also attached great importance to those children.This time in the World Youth Championship in Poland, they won the men's one, 200 meters, and 4*100 meters relay gold medals.

Although the gold content of the medals is not high, the results of several athletes are good, especially Su Tian and Liang Hong, who ran 10 meters in 08 seconds and 200 meters in 20 seconds, which are truly world-class.They truly realized the plan that Lin Mu made at the beginning.

"Thank you, Director Yu!"

Yu Weili waved his hand, "By the way, are you going to the opening ceremony?"

"Of course I will go to the opening ceremony, and I will take them with me when the time comes, and I don't care about a day or two of training!" Lin Mu replied affirmatively without hesitation.

"Yo, this is not like you, haha!" Yu Weili joked with a smile.

Lin Mu smiled.

It was almost the day of the previous life, August 8th, how could he miss the shock, pride and excitement that he could feel through the TV screen.

I came here in 02 and became a "Lin Mu". I took the first step in 03 and have been working hard. I have been waiting for this day for more than 5 years.

I am looking forward to the Yanjing Olympics!
