Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 550 What a pity...

"What's the matter? Is there any problem with Liu Feifei and the others in this match?" Feng Shuyong looked at Guo Zizhao's serious face, and he felt a little nervous in his heart, so he hurriedly asked.

Guo Zizhao's vision has been proven by practice in the past two years.Whether it was Liu Feifei, Shi Dongpeng or Hu Kai who were recommended domestically, or players such as Ducoure, Guy and Oliver selected from international players, they have now proven their strength in the international arena.

Especially in the men's 100-meter sprint final a few days ago, Feng Shuyong admired Guo Zizhao's divine prediction.Therefore, seeing Guo Zizhao's serious expression now, Feng Shuyong was a little uneasy.

"Hehe...it's okay," seeing Feng Shuyong's question, Guo Zizhao also realized that his distracted expression just now might have misunderstood the other party, so Guo Zizhao also quickly changed the topic, "Don't worry, Liu Feifei is in the finals There is no problem. Shi Dongpeng is in excellent form now, and he has a great hope of reaching the final again. But...Ji Weiwei's chances of reaching the final are not great."

"Yeah!" Hearing Guo Zizhao's words, Feng Shuyong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then said, "Ji Weiwei is now 23 years old like Shi Dongpeng, but his strength is still a notch lower than Shi Dongpeng's! It’s a bit of a pity…”

"Well...it's really a pity!" Guo Zizhao also understood what Feng Shuyong meant.Now, in the men's 110-meter hurdles, except for Guo Zizhao who is far ahead in terms of performance and status, the rest of the top domestic players are all in the same age group.

Now 24-year-old Liu Feifei, 24-year-old Xing Yanan, 23-year-old Shi Dongpeng and 23-year-old Ji Weiwei, these four have also reached the A standard this year, but with the results of Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng ahead, Ji Weiwei And Xing Yan'an is a bit tragic.

If it wasn't for Guo Zizhao's injury and not participating this time, it is estimated that Ji Weiwei would not even be able to qualify for the competition this year.Just like Shi Dongpeng a few years ago, under the suppression of Chen Yanhao, Guo Zizhao and Liu Feifei, he also had no chance to stand out in the top competitions!

……

For athletes in the system, the general allocation of resources is biased.Among the players in the same age group, whoever has the greatest potential and emerges first will get more training and competition resources.

Moreover, due to the limited training resources and the limited number of participants, in the same sprint event and players of the same age group, generally only 1 to 3 players will be focused on training, with 1 main player and 1 to 2 substitute players. .At the same time, in order to ensure the echelon construction of the entire national team, and in order not to cause faults after the main players of the older generation retire, we will also leave opportunities for the next generation of players to exercise in various international competitions.

In this way, among players of the same age group, except for the main players with the best results, it will be very difficult for other players to get more training and competition opportunities!Unless the main player is injured, or you have turned around and your performance has improved by leaps and bounds, you have killed the main player.

Or maybe there is a gap in the national team and the next generation of players has not yet fully grown up. At this time, these substitute players can get the opportunity to participate in top competitions.

Take the men's 110-meter hurdles as an example. The age structure of the former Chen Yanhao, Guo Zizhao and Liu Feifei is very suitable. The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people each occupy a quota for the competition.

Later, even if Shi Dongpeng, who was in the same age group as Liu Feifei, rose up, he could only exist as a substitute for Liu Feifei in the national team.Even if Shi Dongpeng won the A bid, even if his qualifications and achievements were not Chen Yanhao's opponent, he would only miss out on top international competitions.

It wasn't until Guo Zizhao voluntarily withdrew from the Athens Olympics and later Chen Yanhao's retirement that the quota fell into Shi Dongpeng's hands.

Now, Guo Zizhao is extremely strong in the international arena, and the new generation of Yi Jing, Huang Hao, Jiang Yifan and Xie Wenjun have just emerged. Therefore, the remaining two competition places can be firmly controlled by Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng.

In this way, Ji Weiwei and Xing Yanan, who are in the same age group, even if they have reached the A standard, there are very few opportunities to participate in the top international competitions when their grades are not dominant.

In other words, in the national team, if they are at the peak of their careers, if they can't beat Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng, they can only exist as substitute players for the rest of their lives.Unless, like this time, Guo Zizhao was injured, Ji Weiwei could take a chance to participate.

However, if some of the new generation of players can reach the A standard, the ownership of this entry quota will probably change again!

Therefore, Feng Shuyong said that Ji Weiwei and Xing Yan'an were a pity.If it had been ten years earlier, these two would have been able to compete with Chen Yanhao, the "Asian column king" at that time, with their current results, but now, it is estimated that they can only spend their lives as substitute players for the rest of their lives.What bad luck...

……

"Ten years ago, it was difficult for our country to find an A-standard runner in the sprint event. But now, there are too many A-standard runners." Feng Shuyong also sighed, "This can be regarded as A blissful trouble?"

"Haha... isn't this bad? Although this is a bit unfair to the athletes, it also shows that our national team is getting stronger and stronger now!" Guo Zizhao also said with a smile, "Don't Not to mention, in terms of talent pool in the men's 110-meter hurdles, no other country except the United States can catch up with us! However, in three to five years, we have to look at the performance of the next batch of newcomers... …”

"Yeah... This group of young players who have emerged in China this year are all good. I plan to join the national team for training at the end of the year. When the time comes, let's see who is the first to emerge..."

While Guo Zizhao and Feng Shuyong were chatting, the men's 110m hurdles semi-final also ended smoothly.

The final result was as expected by Guo Zizhao, Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng also successfully entered tomorrow's finals, while Ji Weiwei was unfortunately eliminated.

The eight contestants who entered the final were quite different from Guo Zizhao’s memory. Trammell, Oliver and Payne of the US team all made it to the final, and Liu Feifei and Shi Dongpeng of the Chinese team also entered the final. , plus Dukure, Roberts, and Jamaican veteran Wegener, tsk tsk tsk... basically a group of acquaintances!

Of course, due to Liu Feifei's current physical condition, he did not release too much water in the semi-finals, and finally ranked third among the finalists with a time of 13 seconds.It seems that the "Ninth Miracle" in the previous life will not appear...

Guo Zizhao also simply encouraged everyone for a while after the game, and then walked to the other side of the athlete's activity room, hehe... More than half an hour later, the final of the men's 200-meter sprint will start, and he has to come to investigate Situation...
