Return to the top of the road to champions

Time flies, and when spring comes again, Tao Wei, who has trained for [-] months, finally returned to the national team after his long training period.

Walking into the gate of the national team again, Tao Wei, who unconsciously showed a smile on his face, made Ma Deming, who was walking beside him, chuckle, "Do you miss home?"

The playful ridicule made Tao Wei nod with a smile, "I think about it, teacher, it's different."

Although Tao Wei didn't say it clearly, Ma Deming understood that here, this compound is the home for veteran players like Tao Wei who have been here for more than ten years.

Returning to the dormitory and putting down his luggage, Tao Wei followed Ma Deming to find the director of the ice center to sell holidays. Wang Jiansheng, who had just been transferred at the beginning of the year, couldn't hide the smile on Tao Wei's face. He looked up and down at Tao Wei, who hadn't changed at all. , "The body has recovered? Where is the examination report? What did the doctor say?..."

Tao Wei sat on the sofa opposite Wang Jiansheng, and Wang Jiansheng looked through it in detail until he saw the final result before he was completely relieved.

"That's good, finally rest assured."

Putting down the report in his hand, Wang Jiansheng, with a smile on his face, looked at Tao Wei, who was sitting opposite him with his back straight, hesitated, "Tao Wei, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Slightly glanced at Ma Deming, and Ma Deming, who was also a little puzzled, made Tao Wei pause slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Wang Jiansheng, whose smile had disappeared, "Director, tell me."

"Tao Wei, have you thought about becoming a coach?"

Tao Wei was stunned by Wang Jiansheng's solemn words after hesitating for a moment. Tao Wei had thought about this matter, not even for a day. Now, Tao Wei, who understands the real situation, is very worried about the current situation of the figure skating team. The lack of success is the dilemma that the entire figure skating has to face. The sports career of an athlete is actually not long. At the Olympic Games, at that time, I was 26 years old and 27 years old, even if I wanted to fight, I didn't have the strength.

But isn't it too early?Thinking of this, Tao Wei looked at Wang Jiansheng seriously, and nodded simply, "I have thought about it, but Director, I want to participate in the Winter Olympics again."

Tao Wei's affirmative answer made Wang Jiansheng happy, "Assistant, Tao Wei, the center wants you to take over as the assistant and help Coach Ma between training sessions. First, you have rich experience in competitions, so you can pass it on to the younger players. Experience, the second is that Coach Ma also needs someone to help him, you know the coaches of our figure skating team, after all, there are still a few specialists.”

Looking at Ma Deming, who was full of smiles, and Wang Jiansheng, who was staring intently, Tao Wei nodded after thinking for a while, "It's okay, but the director said the ugly words first, it can only be during the training interval, when I rest .”

Wang Jiansheng laughed and nodded immediately. In fact, the intention of the center is not to delay Tao Wei's training. After all, the 06 Winter Olympics is still waiting for Tao Wei to achieve results. Retain Tao Wei, who is extremely experienced.

Good talents are not easy to keep if you want to, especially the national team has a heavy workload and is open all year round. Although the salary seems to be a lot, it is still inferior to the training centers below. Besides, outsiders may not know , but Wang Jiansheng knew very well that Tao Wei was not short of money, not to mention anything else, just a few gold medals in Tao Wei's hands, and the rewards he got were enough for Tao Wei to live a leisurely life.Especially for the gold medal in the Winter Olympics, the money awarded to Tao Wei by the country, localities and patriotic businessmen from all walks of life has set a record high in the history of the ice center.

As Tao Wei nodded, a series of procedures were quickly completed. Tao Wei, dumbfounded, looked at the various materials that Wang Jiansheng took out that needed to be signed, shook his head with a smile and signed his name.

After leaving Wang Jiansheng's office, Tao Wei had an additional identity as a teaching assistant in addition to being a national athlete, and the smiling Ma Deming didn't close his mouth from the moment he saw Tao Wei signing. It's not a day since Ma Deming missed Tao Wei For two days, if you want to say who Ma Deming likes most in these years of coaching, it is undoubtedly Tao Wei, not only because Tao Wei broke the history of no medals in men's figure skating, but also because Tao Wei is an extremely stable person, capable and not arrogant, so Who doesn't like the disciples, even if they go out, Ma Deming's back is straight.

After a short rest for one night, Tao Wei appeared on the training ground early the next morning. When he saw Tao Wei who had returned to the team, the old players Yang Xiangle and Gao Jian were so happy that they surrounded Tao Wei and questioned him loudly and lowly. If it weren't for Ma Deming yelling to train quickly, several old players would still be reluctant to leave.

The appearance of Tao Wei also made the newcomers very excited. Tao Wei, the world champion, is the Asian No. 1 in men's figure skating who broke into the Winter Olympics.

A few unfamiliar faces also made Tao Wei sigh a little, but the sigh was only a moment. Tao Wei, who had restarted the basic training, had no time or mood to pay attention to the new players.

Day after day, Tao Wei, who took a full month to stretch his stiff body again, officially went on the ice in July. It was still his own ice rink and his own training ground, but this time, Tao Wei There are two more people beside her, Yang Xiangle and Gao Jian.

In addition to Tao Wei, Yang Xiangle and Gao Jian, who were already going through the retirement procedures, were also retained by the center, and Yang Xiangle was favored by Yang Guocheng, and stayed with Yang Guocheng, who was about to take a complete rest to study, while Gao Jian would directly transfer to the center after retiring. The youth team took over the youth team to start their coaching career.

Even Yao Jiawei, who left the national team due to a comminuted fracture, was snatched away by Yu Chengfei. Tao Wei would like to see that the three friends could find a good home in the ice talent base of H province. There are too few industries that can be engaged in.

Tao Wei can't and has no ability to manage outsiders, but Tao Wei, the friends who accompany Tao Wei and give Tao Wei care, can't ignore them. Fortunately, the three of them have their own goals.

Especially Gao Jian is clamoring to cultivate a world champion like Tao Wei sooner or later. The shining eyes of the laughing partners have deep desires. Gao Jian's goal is not their goal.

On March 2004, 3, Tao Wei, who was with the team, went abroad as an assistant coach for the first time, and resumed training for nearly ten months. Tao Wei's condition did not recover well, which made Tao Wei a little anxious. After missing the season for a year, Tao Wei's influence will plummet for figure skating, which is developing rapidly and producing many newcomers. This is also the main reason why Tao Wei is a little anxious.

Looking at Tao Wei who was soaking in the ice rink every day, although Ma Deming was also a little anxious, but more helpless. Tao Wei was anxious, and Ma Deming could understand, but after all, he had trained for [-] months, and he could not catch up immediately. Moreover, the adjustment of the state has a lot to do with the mood. Ma Deming, who couldn't persuade Tao Wei, finally found Wang Jiansheng, pulled Tao Wei out of training, and led the team to participate in the World Championships.Fortunately, Tao Wei also knew that his state was not right, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

It can be said that the Chinese men's figure skating team at the World Championships this time are all new players. Yang Xiangle rubbed his chin and muttered that he was getting old. Tao Wei glanced at Yang Xiangle and then at Ma Deming, back and forth. The sweeping eyes made Yang Xiangle smile.

After arranging team members and assigning rooms, a series of busy work, when he finally returned to the room, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Tao Wei, who had stretched his waist vigorously, lay on the bed and groaned comfortably.

Back at the World Championships, Tao Wei's restless mood eased a lot, especially after seeing Norman and Yagudin, Tao Wei felt much lighter when he saw his friends.

In the following three days, the participating athletes began to enter the adjustment training. In the morning of the fourth day, Tao Wei, who was standing next to Ma Deming, appeared in the backstage of the arena as an assistant coach.

Norman raised his eyebrows and raised his arms to wave to Tao Wei, who smiled and walked to the team members.

As soon as he walked to the team members, Tao Wei noticed that Ma Deming's face was a bit ugly, he frowned slightly, and glanced at Wei Xiaowei who lowered his head, Tao Wei took a step forward and pulled Ma Deming back, "Teacher?"

Ma Deming gave Wei Xiaowei a hard look and turned to Tao Wei, "I didn't bring my skates."

With a buzz, Tao Wei looked at Wei Xiaowei, who lowered his head and rubbed against the floor, in disbelief. After a while, he laughed, "It's always like this the first time, teacher, you forgot, Gao Jian's first time Participating in competitions and even leaving the competition clothes in the hotel.”

The gentle face of Tao Wei who persuaded Ma Deming made Wei Xiaowei, who raised his head quietly, heaved a sigh of relief, glared at Tao Wei, Ma Deming finally smiled and nodded Tao Wei, "Xiang Le went back to get it, you help these brainless people first." warm up."

Tao Wei, who nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at the team members with a light smile, red or white, excited or nervous, the smile on Tao Wei's face deepened, "See if there are any players who don't wear competition uniforms?" If there is someone who is pulled down, call your Coach Yang quickly, but it is best to wait for Coach Yang to enter the room before calling, so that we can make Coach Yang lose weight."

Tao Wei, who teased a little, made the team members smile unconsciously. Tao Wei clapped his hands, and then called a few boys to prepare for warm-up.

Time flowed slowly, and Wei Xiaowei was the first player from the Chinese team to play. Looking at Wei Xiaowei, who was tense and his hands and feet were a little weak, Tao Wei put away the smile on his face, and pressed Wei Xiaowei's shoulder, "Xiaowei, the game result It doesn't matter, what matters is whether you can let the referee and the audience remember your face, just show your usual training state."

Staring at Tao Wei's gentle eyes, Wei Xiaowei, who was slightly trembling, slowly relaxed, "Coach Tao, do you think I can do it?"

Twitching the corners of his mouth and showing a bright smile, Tao Wei nodded vigorously, "Okay, why not? You forgot that your training performance is one of the best in the team, otherwise, how could Coach Ma be the first to call your name. "

Wei Xiaowei, who couldn't help showing a smile, grinned, and pressed Wei Xiaowei's shoulder again, "Go!"

After speaking, Tao Wei let go of Wei Xiaowei and watched Wei Xiaowei rush out of the backstage and into the competition scene.
