Return to the top of the road to champions

Time flies, spring goes to autumn, and October passes by in a hurry. Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who entered the school gate again in March, started their student career again. However, unlike normal children, they have to attend full-time classes every day, and only have half-day classes. Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, apart from getting up early for two hours of training, moved the rest of the training to the afternoon and evening.

The intermingling of studies and training made the two children very tired from rushing to the market, but neither Tao Wei nor Wan Xiaodong said anything. Gritting their teeth and insisting became the most direct answer for the two children.

Wan Xiaodong, who was once chubby, gradually lost weight in ten months. While his body was stretched, his lower limbs became stronger and stronger due to training. His explosive legs always made Wentian very happy when he saw it.

Different from Tao Wei, who has a goal in mind, Wan Xiaodong, who is committed to short track speed skating, really loves short track speed skating from continuous training. In Wan Xiaodong's words, he enjoys that kind of rapid leap Feeling, after laughing, Tao Wei arrived happy for Wan Xiaodong, who had set his goal early.

Thinking of his beloved figure skating, Tao Wei, with firm eyes shining brightly, still accepts Yang Guocheng's personal training except for one hour of ice time every day.

In continuous learning, Tao Wei thought he was already a professional, but he saw 31 years of rich experience in coaching from Yang Guocheng. The kind of wealth left by continuous accumulation is what the young Tao Wei lacked. He was surprised and worked hard at the same time. Although Tao Wei, who kept up with the training progress, was not as dazzling as Wan Xiaodong, it was also revealed among the long-track speed skaters.

Like two dazzling new stars, Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who are constantly being attracted, are actually quietly pushed out where no one can see. The new team members feel that they are not the same as them, while the old team members think that Tao Wei , Wan Xiaodong stole their limelight, big conflicts without small frictions but continued.

Not to mention that single-minded Wan Xiaodong couldn't understand those obscure exclusions, even the deep-minded Tao Wei's attitude of understanding but ignoring them made the team members feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who wanted to clean up the two of them in the dormitory, were arranged in the dormitory building from the beginning, and they would never come to the student dormitory at all. There are coaches in the training ground, and there are still coaches in the cafeteria. The three divisions of labor are clear The coach made the old players grit their teeth and secretly muttered, but no matter how the new players or the old players rejected Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, the two brothers, who were full of schedules, still followed the schedule step by step Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who are constantly moving forward, have no holidays, no rest, and even a simple rest for 10 minutes after meals, can take advantage of this short 10 minutes to take a short nap after long-term exercise.

1990, Saturday, October 10th, at 6:[-] am, Class [-], Grade [-], Primary School Attached to Normal University.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Tao Wei and Wan Xiaodong, who had packed their schoolbags, quickly left the classroom without delay. The students who were accustomed to leaving in a hurry lost their initial curiosity, and trotted all the way back to the sports team. They put down their schoolbags in the house, and the two ran to the teaching and research building at the back. The small second floor is the office of all the coaches, but because of the difficult conditions of the skating team, the honor room and meeting room are all on the second floor.

Hurrying and hurrying, Tao Wei, who finally arrived at the meeting room on the second floor at 11:30, smiled when he saw Yu Chengfei who had just sat down, and glanced around. There was no room in the crowded meeting room. Yang Guocheng smiled, gestured and pulled Wan Xiaodong to stand near the door.

After all the staff arrived, Yu Chengfei coughed lightly and frowned at the muttering athletes below, "Okay, stop muttering, the old team members should know what is the reason for today's meeting."

Yu Chengfei got up while talking, stood up and turned on the phantom lamp behind him, an emblem combining the shape of a figure and the word "7" appeared on the white cloth, and the background of the fluttering snowflakes made the simple monogram appear. Lively and rustic.

Tao Wei was shocked by the familiar yet unfamiliar emblem, blinked his eyes, and suddenly remembered something, Tao Wei's quiet eyes instantly burst into dazzling light.

He held his breath and looked at Yu Chengfei, as if eager to confirm, Yu Chengfei who inadvertently glanced at Tao Wei was slightly stunned, and Yu Chengfei who retracted his gaze glanced at the noise that sounded again, knocked on the table, "Okay, okay, I know you know a lot. On February [-] next year, the [-]th National Winter Games will be held in H province. From today, the whole team will stop all vacations, and the team members will enter the preparation stage. Anyone, anyone , you are not allowed to ask for leave, and bear with me if you have something to do, especially you old ones, don’t tell me about this and that..."

Tao Wei didn't hear Yu Chengfei's ramblings, and Tao Wei, who confirmed with his own ears that he didn't misidentify, trembled slightly because of excitement.

Is it possible to step into the figure skating world in advance?Can I see the teacher again?Closing his eyes, Tao Wei, who blocked the scorching heat in his eyes, inhaled quietly and exhaled slowly, Tao Wei, who was full of complexity, didn't hear Yu Chengfei's mobilization, and didn't even see Wan Xiaodong's surprised gaze beside him.

It wasn't until the meeting was over that the sound of rattling stools awakened Tao Wei, who was immersed in his thoughts. Tao Wei took a deep breath and was about to leave, but Wan Xiaodong grabbed him, "Erba, what are you doing? The coach told me to wait." will go."

Wan Xiaodong whispered in surprise, Tao Wei blinked his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a somewhat stagnant smile, and nodded slightly, "There are so many people that I can't hear you clearly."

Although it was a bit strange why Tao Wei couldn't hear it when he was so close, but thinking of the endless buzzing of the old team members, Wan Xiaodong pouted and didn't think much about it. He just thought that Tao Wei was disturbed by the old team members. .

Under the gradually disappearing figures, there are only 11 people left in the house, including Yu Chengfei, Yang Guocheng, Wen Tian, ​​Song Xiaojun, Gong Hanliang, Tao Wei, Wan Xiaodong, Yang Hui, Guo Tao, Shi Yang, and Liang Jiacheng.

Greeting Wan Xiaodong and Tao Wei who were still standing at the door, after they sat down, Yu Chengfei, who was knocking on the table, cast serious eyes on Shi Yang, "Shi Yang, you are the captain of the short track, and you are the captain of the relay race and speed skating. They are all required to attend, it is not allowed during this time, remember that you are not allowed to ask for leave."

Shi Yang raised his eyebrows, and Shi Yang, who didn't care much, nodded indifferently. Shi Yang, who has participated in one session, is the well-deserved leader of the sports team. Although his temper is a bit perverted, he is not bad. Yang will leave the Provincial Sports Team. It can be said that this is the last time that Shi Yang will represent Province H to participate in a national competition. No matter what kind of unhappiness happened during this period, Shi Yang will never deny the cultivation of him by the team, otherwise this year's only One of the places in the national team will not be his.

Just when Shi Yang, who finally made a contribution to the sports team for five years, made Yu Chengfei nod his head in satisfaction. Wei, Wan Xiaodong.

After pondering for a while, Yu Chengfei's serious eyes fell on Tao Wei, "Tao Wei, can you compete?"

Yu Chengfei asked softly, as if a heavy hammer hit Tao Wei's heart, even Yang Guocheng and Wen Tian were stunned, and looked at Yu Chengfei with puzzled and unhurried eyes, "Chengfei?"

Yang Guocheng who exclaimed asked Yu Chengfei to wave his hands, but stared at Tao Wei closely. The hot gaze on his body made Tao Wei lose his peace for a moment, and slowly settled down. He closed his eyes and thought carefully, and opened them again. Tao Wei, who opened his eyes, smiled, his gleaming eyes burst out with a dazzling fighting spirit, "Yes."

The affirmative return made Yu Chengfei smile, and turned to look at Yang Guocheng, "Old Yang, Tao Wei's training has been stepped up, and he will represent H province in the Winter Games in February."

What Yu Chengfei said made Yang Guocheng lock his brows tightly. Yang Guocheng glanced at Tao Wei with disapproval in his eyes, and then turned to Yu Chengfei, "Chengfei, Tao Wei has no experience in competitions, and long roads are not our province's strong point." It is unreasonable to replace Liu Wei and let Tao Wei play, and Tao Wei is not old enough to participate in the youth competition."

Yang Guocheng, who was full of disapproval, made Yu Chengfei laugh. The bitterness in the corner of his mouth and the sarcasm in his eyes made Yang Guocheng and Wen Tian stunned. Yang Guocheng, "Liu Wei is gone and went to the Provincial Sports Team."

There is deep depression in the deep voice, how many times is this the first time?Even Yu Chengfei can't remember how many times he was robbed of his team members by province l. Yu Chengfei didn't complain about the choice of players, but it would be a lie to say that he was not angry. Yes, the sports team of province h had the worst conditions , The treatment of athletes is also the lowest, but these years, why have these coaches in the team worked so hard to treat them with all their heart?Is it because I hope that good seedlings will stay, but even so, I still can't keep those squinted players. If they approach the national team like Shi Yang, Yu Chengfei doesn't say anything, and some of them are full of blessings. But being poached away by a sports team of the same level, Yu Chengfei felt extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the glaring bright red seal in his hand, Yang Guocheng blushed and panted heavily, and slammed his fist on the table for a while, "It's the provincial sports team again, Liu Wei asked for leave to go home L sports team? I am like a fool here, still wondering if there is something important about the child's family, why did I ask for leave in a hurry to go back, and return the money to the idiot, how can I climb high?"

Gritting his teeth, Yang Guocheng's chest seemed to be burning with a fire. Liu Wei, Yang Tian, ​​and even Park Xiufeng, all the team members who had finally trained and prepared to make achievements left one after another. Yang Guocheng was disappointed and discouraged, and devoted his whole life to ice and snow. Yang Guocheng's eye circles were red because of his career, and he was so heartbroken that if he couldn't say goodbye, Yang Guocheng's whole heart seemed to have fallen into an ice hole, so cold that he couldn't breathe.

Even Wen Tian blushed when he saw the flamboyantly worded transfer letter, but couldn't hide his complacency. How many people from the sports team left because of the bad conditions?Even Wen Tian himself doesn't remember.

Frustration and disappointment also exist, Yang Guocheng who is silent, Yu Chengfei who is smoking constantly, and Wen Tian with flushed cheeks make the atmosphere in the conference room a bit depressing, look at this, look at that, although Wan Xiaodong doesn't know what happened Wan Xiaodong, who licked his lips, kicked Tao Wei quietly.

Wan Xiaodong, who signaled Tao Wei to persuade him, winked and made Tao Wei, who felt a little heavy, twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, and sighed quietly. Tao Wei, who was relaxed and shrunk on the stool, actually knew that in his previous life, because The conditions in all aspects are too poor. As long as the members of the team have some grades, they will leave one after another. Tao Wei is the only one who has achieved grades but has not left. However, Tao Wei has been in contact with all kinds of high-ranking and preferential treatment. Tao Wei, who can't help but smile bitterly, also knows that, The only attractive thing about the speed skating team of the sports team is the cafeteria.

But with the progress of the times, what people value is tangible benefits. Without good players, it means that there will be no results, and without results, there will be no further progress. Athletes have a short sports career. If possible, who would not want to take a step forward? But the reality is that the H provincial sports team really cannot provide such convenient conditions. There is only one indoor skating rink for the whole team, and the new training ground is still under construction, and it will not be put into use until at least March next year. Besides the accommodation, The other sports teams have single rooms, but the H provincial sports team does have four rooms, and there are many complaints from the crowd.

Perhaps the point of view is different. In Tao Wei's eyes, although the conditions of the provincial sports team are difficult, the single-stroke coaches are definitely top-notch. One of the coaches with a solid foundation is a national coach.

An athlete who is working hard without a good coach will only go astray. This is also something that many athletes who are confused by the immediate interests and leave the h provincial sports team will not understand until they fall into the dust. Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Tao Wei. In Tao Wei It seems that all choices depend on the individual, just like Wan Xiaodong, who was self-abandoned at the beginning, is still sticking to it today, and Tao Wei, who is cold-hearted and desolate, doesn't care about the future of others.

Raising his eyelids to look at Yang Guocheng who was unusually silent, Tao Wei, who got up slowly, stretched his waist, "Coach, let's go, eat, and train after eating."

Tao Wei, who had his hands behind his back and crossed his hands, made Yang Guocheng, who was frustrated and disappointed, startled for a moment with his calm and calm expression. He raised his eyes and looked at Tao Wei. A pair of quiet eyes sparkled outside his calm expression, a kind that could infect people's hearts. Tao Wei's peacefulness and encouragement flickered in Tao Wei's eyes. Tao Wei, who entered the state by himself, made Yang Guocheng's breath stagnant, took a deep breath, pressed it on the table with a bang, and stood up with a bang, "Let's go, eat, and train after eating." .”

After speaking, Yang Guocheng strode out hurriedly, causing the room to burst into laughter after a brief silence. Tao Wei, who smiled and waved at Wan Xiaodong, quickly followed Yang Guocheng and left the small second floor.

After a hearty lunch, a short rest, and warm-up activities to stretch his limbs, Tao Wei entered the training state. From this day on, the arduous training that lasted for more than three months and 110 five days officially kicked off.

At this time, neither Shi Yang who is full of pride nor Yang Guocheng Yu Chengfei who is devoting himself to training will not know what kind of surprise will be brought to people by an ice and snow feast starring Tao Wei three months later. I know what kind of success Wan Xiaodong, who made his first appearance and even played as a substitute, has created, of course, this is a later story.

Tao Wei, who has officially entered the preparation stage, has increased his daily ice training from one hour to six hours, and high-intensity interval training is also on the agenda after entering the preparation stage. All schoolwork has been stopped, and six hours of physical fitness every day Endurance training and six hours of ice training made Tao Wei extremely tired.

But Tao Wei, who gritted his teeth and stood up every time he saw Yang Guocheng's eyes shining with anticipation, would tell himself, "Persevere, persevere..."

After countless times of persistence, it is not known whether he finally got used to high-intensity training or his overall physical fitness has made a qualitative leap again. In just 30 days, Tao Wei's training intensity has increased again.

At the same time, Wan Xiaodong, who entered the preparation team as a substitute, also grew rapidly at an astonishing speed. The six hours of sparring with Shi Yang not only aroused Shi Yang, who was already a first-level athlete, but also made Shi Yang high-spirited. Under healthy competition, Wan Xiaodong followed closely.

This time, not only Shi Yang was surprised, even the team members who looked down on Wan Xiaodong were full of surprise. Put away the last trace of contempt in his heart, Shi Yang, who really regarded Wan Xiaodong as an opponent, for the first time his shining eyes burst out with a dazzling fighting spirit. Competing, interfering with training and even explosive power competition, Shi Yang completely entered a state of madness. Yang let the stubborn Wan Xiaodong grit his teeth and never back down, like a greedy blood maggot biting Shi Yang tightly.

You lose and I win, and I win and you lose. After countless competitions, in the end it was completely unclear who was who. Whether it is physical training, high-intensity explosive training or even speed skating training, they can all be used as conditions for competition.

The gradually shrinking distance, the situation of losing more and winning less With the real competition, Wan Xiaodong's hidden persistence finally pulled the distance between each other, not to mention Wentian, even the leaders of the General Administration who came to S for inspection were pleasantly surprised .

And Tao Wei's embarrassing situation because of long-track speed skating is directly due to Cheng Fei and Yang Guocheng as sparring partners. Yu Chengfei, who has no coaching spirit at all, keeps making troubles on the court, which makes Tao Wei's sensitivity constantly increase. After two months of training, the body finally achieved the desired effect.

Time slipped away inadvertently. In November, December, and January, the five-day preparations for 110 finally ended on January 31. At eleven o'clock in the evening, when the whistle finally sounded, it had already started from twelve days a day. Tao Wei, who had increased his hours of training to fourteen hours, sat on the ice with his buttocks, and the sound of gasping and panting sounded in the silent ice rink. The heavy breathing and the faint groans around him made Tao Wei, who was no longer able to support the exhausted, barely crawl. Go to the bench on the sidelines.

Tao Wei, who was sitting on a stool with the help of Yang Guocheng, didn't even have the strength to take off his shoes, while Shi Yang, Wan Xiaodong, Yang Hui and others who also walked off the ice rink also slumped on the stools and gasped.

Sweat dripped down his temples, covered by his heavy breathing. Tao Wei, who was only wearing a tracksuit, took the canning bottle next to him with trembling hands, and took a big mouthful of water, not daring to swallow it down. Tao Wei, who dared to hold it in his mouth, swallowed it carefully for a long time.

The day after tomorrow is the opening day of the Winter Games. Because of the home game, although no one has mentioned it, the fear still haunts everyone. Even Tao Wei, who has been tempered by the competition, has a vague sense of anxiety. Trying to adjust his breathing with his upper eyes, he slowly counted his rapid heartbeat until it finally calmed down, Tao Wei opened his eyes and bent down to take off his skates.

110 A group of people who formed a deep friendship during the five-day training supported each other and walked to the dormitory. The cold in the middle of the night did not blow away the anxiety in my heart, and the frost in the twelfth lunar month did not freeze the heart that was beating and stirring. Before we broke up, They glanced at each other, and Shi Yang, who was the first to stretch out his hand, put his hand in the middle, one hand after another, big or small, and at this moment, in this silent night, Eleven's hands were tightly held together ,"come on!"

"come on!"

The deafening roar and hearty laughter spread far and far.The laughter and encouragement that heralded success made Tao Wei, who was emotionally agitated, finally calm down amidst loud laughter.

At this time, the compound of the Provincial Fire Brigade's Special Service Brigade, which was far away from the sports team, was brightly lit. The seven brigades and 21 squadrons of the Fire Brigade, which were responsible for the safety and fire protection of the entire Winter Games, were dispatched except for each team. Although the inspection had ended early, no one relaxed at all.

The No. [-] Special Service Squadron, which belongs to the first team, is responsible for the fire safety of the main venue, and the whole team is working non-stop. At this time, in the captain's office on the second floor, Rong Boyuan, who is standing in front of him with a frosty face and cold eyes, quietly looks at the The captain of the brigade opened his lips lightly and spit out two words, "Get out."
