Run Out of My Life

Can a person stand up and face life again after losing his glory and returning to the ordinary?

Maybe there is a tile covering the head, there is a simple thing to do, people will think a little...

Maybe you will still feel self-pity and self-pity, and it will be useless.

Life goes on, who knows?

“2003 is a crucial year for Chinese competitive sports to prepare for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. There are more than 100 international and domestic events related to the Olympic Games. Today, our athletes will frequently participate in Olympic qualifying matches, Various events such as the points competition, strive to obtain more qualifications for the Olympic Games, and actively train troops for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Although some games were cancelled or unable to participate due to the influence of 'SARS', after the hard work of all athletes and coaches Work hard, I believe..."

Li Zhizhong is sitting in a remote corner at the back of the venue, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand, and is earnestly recording the "About Olympic preparations and annual work focus planning" held by the General Administration and the field management. and mobilization meetings”.

As a new coach from the local area, as soon as he took office, he was named and invited to attend. It was considered to be valued. He learned the spirit and clarified his work philosophy.

"Coach Lee."

It was almost noon, just after the meeting, Li Zhizhong turned around and was about to leave the venue, when he heard a voice suddenly stop him.

"How about it, are you still used to it these days?" Yu Liwei walked over from the front of the venue with a bright smile.

"Director Yu." Li Zhizhong greeted with a smile, "It's good, the center is well arranged in all aspects. I've been here for a long time, and I just need to study hard."

Yu Liwei is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team. Like Feng Shuyong, in addition to the name of the coach, he also presides over the work of the track and field center department and is also the deputy director of the Athletic Association Training Committee.

"Okay, Lao Li, let's not come to this tune." Yu Liwei raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's noon, let's go, you've been here for several days and I haven't Free reception, take advantage of noon, I will invite you to a working lunch, let's have a good chat."

"That's not right. I should ask you later."

"Let's go, let's stop talking nonsense." Yu Liwei pushed Li Zhizhong's shoulders, and the two walked out of the conference room together.

In a partitioned small private room in the cafeteria on the second floor.

"Old Li, it's like this, it's been a few days since you've been here, and the work arrangement is basically finalized."

"Well, it's the same as I confirmed with you before, hey, I won't lie to you about your eyes. It's still Su Zu's head coach."

"Coach in charge?" Li Zhizhong was very surprised when he heard this. Su Zu's current head coach is Lu Jianming, and he was transferred this time to work as Lu Jianming's deputy.

Yu Liwei nodded, "You are a capable person, and you should have such an opportunity after wasting in the place for so many years. Lao Lu discussed this with me before, and he feels that he is getting older. , Some ideas can't keep up, and the pressure is very high. Lao Lu's health has not been very good in recent years, and in the next few years, he will definitely not be able to withstand the competition at home and abroad. I will give you a thorough explanation of this matter first. Feng, you know what you know, and you will work well in the next few months."

"This is for sure, Coach Lu is a senior." Li Zhizhong was still digesting the news, but he said it very politely.

"So, work hard, you know the situation in the next few years, everyone is under a lot of pressure, especially the men's team. We have to set up a few more benchmarks.”

Li Zhizhong nodded. He has been ups and downs for half his life. Naturally, he knows that the next few years will be a challenge and an opportunity. This is true for athletes and coaches.

April 5th, Greentown, Guangxi Province.

The location of the first stop of the National Athletics Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be the first stop on April 5th in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, but due to the restructuring today, the preparations for the two stops were poor, and Yangcheng was changed to April 8th Second stop of the day.

The competition schedule for this year’s Grand Prix is: April 5th Nanning, April 8th Guangzhou, May 15th Jinan, May 18th Tianjin, the finals June 14th to 15th Zhangjiagang .

It has been 7 years since the Chinese Athletics Association launched this event. Since the second half of last year, the Chinese Athletics Association has been considering reform measures and passed the reform plan at the beginning of this year. With fewer events, fewer numbers, and higher prize money, the new Grand Prix has been cut from 37 to 18 today. The number of participants has also been reduced from more than 600 people in the past to 148 people.

The schedule is more compact. Except for the finals, the races are all played once a day.

After arriving at Greentown, Su Zu realized that Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong and others, who were basically no good players to compete in the men's 100m event, didn't show up at all.

They have been to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province before, but after changing the site this time, they are directly waiting for the second stop of the Grand Prix in Yangcheng. On the contrary, players like him and Liu Yangyu who started to fly directly from behind went to Greentown to participate in the first race.

Although it is a pity that Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong and others did not come to participate, but this is also a normal situation. In fact, although everyone is in the same team, the private coaches for official games are actually very few. Only an occasional one or two.

This is also a situation between top players with similar strength and competition, especially in a team, the usual training can be together, but the competition test results will not be arranged together.

The king does not see the king.

The head coaches of several athletes have almost reached a tacit understanding. This kind of strength competition and competition should preferably appear in big game occasions. The performance in the real game dampens the enthusiasm and vigor of the athletes, and they cannot achieve better results with each other.

For Su Zu, it is a pity that there are no players of similar strength to compete, but finally the prize money of each sub-station and the final of this Grand Prix has increased, which is an unexpected gain.

It just so happens that his pocket is empty now, and it is quite impressive to be able to get a championship bonus.

The top three prizes of the new Grand Prix are RMB 50,000, RMB 30,000 and RMB 20,000 respectively. In addition, the finals will set a bonus of 80,000 yuan, and only the champions of 4 competitions and the finals are eligible to share the bonus.

The morning 100m preliminaries and the afternoon 100m finals. Due to the small number of participants, there were only 15 players in two groups in the preliminaries, and Su Zu easily made it to the final.

In the afternoon 100m final, Su Zu finally won the championship with a time of 10.29 seconds.

"Work harder, I'm very close to the goal of participating in the World Championships."

After the game, Lu Jianming was quite satisfied with Su Zu's performance. After the winter training, Su Zu's state has been stable and improved. Without strong opponents, he was able to run into 10.30 seconds. It's a very good progress.

"Coach, I asked you before about your achievement in the World Championships, haven't you said it yet?" Su Zu remembered the last time he asked Lu Jianming about the standards for the World Championships, and asked Lu Jianming.

"The men's 100-meter standard for the Athletics World Championships in August this year is the same as next year's Athens Olympics. The A standard is 10.21 seconds, and the B standard is 10.28 seconds. You are still a little short of qualifying for the B standard. , Now both you and Chen Jian have the hope of reaching the B standard, and even Shen Yun and Bao Yin Hangchao have a chance."

"The Olympic Games are not in a hurry, but there is only one place for the B bid in the World Championships, and the only major domestic event recently is the National Track and Field Grand Prix. If you want to participate in the World Championships, run The results are going to overwhelm them. Well, I said before, if it is only B target, it is not so safe. And next year's Olympic Games, if you want to participate in the competition, it is best to run to the A target. "Lu Jianming thought for a while and said slowly.

Su Zu understood at once, now he and Chen Jianshen Yunbao and these athletes have the opportunity to run into the B standard of the World Championships, which is 10.28 seconds. If only one person runs into the B standard, then Of course, whoever runs in will go to the competition, but if there are two or three people who run into this result, who should go?

You said you ran for 10 seconds26 this time, another person ran for 10 seconds27, and another ran twice for 10 seconds28, the difference between the three is 0.01 seconds, 0.02 seconds, Is there a big difference? At least some people don't.

Old players, new players, coaches strive for strength, age, competitive status, honors, internal relations, background, etc., in several athletes who have reached the B standard, but there is only one place When you can participate, it will become the basis for consideration.

These are very realistic situations, and Su Zu can also put his position right. After all, on the one hand, due to his age, he is not the peak of his competitive state in the eyes of many people. He is young. Of course you can wait two years. On the other hand, it is also because there is no major competition honor. If several athletes run into the B mark, he does not think that he can compete with other athletes.

This situation is still in this year's World Championships. If it comes to next year's Olympic Games, everyone is still in such an embarrassing situation.
