Let's be a world champion first! [sports]

100m, 200m and 400m all-athlon, is it possible?

Track and field fans have picked up the current well-known athletes around the world... It seems that it is not impossible. For example, many 200-meter athletes in the international arena occasionally have 100-meter and 400-meter concurrent events. Although there are not many players who break 100 in 10 meters and 200 in 20 meters in the international arena, they are not scarce.

There are also players who compete across the three events, but these players actually have their own main events, and the remaining part-time events rarely invest the same amount of energy in development.

After all, the more one reaches the top stage, the more difficult each breakthrough is.

For example, in the 200-meter and 10-meter distances, there is often a substantial improvement in performance at 20 seconds and [-] seconds away, but this often proves that the potential of the players has not been fully tapped.

But when the potential of these players is approaching the limit, every 0.01 second of improvement may require all the energy of the players.

Therefore, things like sprinting and cross-athlon are easy to say, but after reaching a certain height, they are often no longer achievable.

Or, these cross-events and concurrent events will be used as an adjustment for a player to temporarily switch events to participate in the competition when a certain individual event reaches the bottleneck stage. Few players can consistently compete in multiple events under the condition of concurrent events. Go up to the top of the world.

After the topic circled around and came back here, there was a moment of silence in the Athletics Kingdom forum, and fans of the 100m, 200m, and 400m subcategories of sprints suddenly started discussing Su Qian Which one is more suitable for the project.

When track and field fans went shirtless on the forum and quarreled about which event Su Qian should belong to, Su Qian had already finished the Diamond League schedule, and played happily with his parents and elder brother on the second day Half a day later, on the second afternoon, he followed the national team and returned to the national track and field training base in city B.

After Su Qian had the foundation to participate in the two international competitions of the Kawasaki Challenge in Japan and the S City Diamond League, the second day after Su Qian returned to the national team, You Yun was called away by Xing Yuanzhi and others once.

The theme of the meeting is the event arrangement for several main sprinters who will participate in the Asian Games.

Not only Xian Wangxing, Su Qian and Yu Shuang, but also sprint relay players including Zhou Yiming and Chen Liang will adjust their schedule for this year's competition.

In fact, this is not the first time a meeting has been scheduled for the players.

For the coaching staff, as early as the winter training stage, when the domestic and IAAF competition schedules for the next year are released, the coaching staff will divide them according to the strength of their players and the importance of the next year’s events for their players , Based on this, around the time of key events, adjust the arrangements for events, training sessions, and competitions.

This is to ensure that even during the competition period, there is still room for training, and according to different rhythms such as training-competition-training-important competitions, the best competitive state of athletes can be adjusted to the cycle of the most important competitions.

Generally speaking, the outdoor season has already started, and the coaching staff of the national team should not come to discuss the players' competition arrangements now, but this time the situation is different, so they held an interim meeting.

This situation first came from Su Qian.

You Yun has previously selected the main competition plan for Su Qian this year. In this plan, the competitions are mainly international competitions, and the events will take into account the needs of 100m and 200m competitions. They will take turns to participate in individual events, and some There will be two competitions at the same time.

You Yun had already reported this competition plan to the national team for record. After reading it, Xing Yuanzhi and others basically had no objection.

The only surprise is that Su Qian's performance in the 200-meter sprint in the Diamond League...was really good.

As soon as the score of 20 seconds came out, the field management center was alarmed. Huang Wenyu called Xing Yuanzhi to confirm Su Qian's condition again and again, and then explained that Su Qian's healthy growth and development must be the first priority. The essence is to allow Su Qian's potential to develop in the long run.

Xing Yuanzhi knew that this was because the field management center had also paid attention to Su Qian's talent level. They were delighted with Su Qian's current talent and achievements, but at the same time they were also worried that at his age, Su Qian would be overwhelmed by too much pressure. I was overwhelmed, that's why I came out like this.

From the perspective of Xing Yuanzhi and others, there is nothing wrong with You Yun's overall event planning framework for Su Qian. The only problem is probably the World Youth Championship, which can be counted as one of Su Qian's key competition goals this year. up.

Speaking of which, in this World Youth Championship, Su Qian's age is really too young. According to his age, he can play in the U18 group for another two years, but his strength has already surpassed the domestic U20 players gone.

Talent is such a cruel thing in competitive sports.

The U20 Athletics World Youth Championship will be held in Cali, Colombia in August this year, and the qualifying period for the World Youth Championship will end on July 8 this year.

The same as the selection requirements of the World Junior Championships, as long as the entry standards are met within the eligibility period, then each event can select 2 qualified contestants to participate in the competition.

在短跑项目上，此次的卡利田径世青赛，男子100米达标标准为10秒58、男子200米为21秒38、男子400米则为47秒35。

This standard is not high for domestic adult players, but for domestic U20 players, it is a bit of a headache.

Now the time has entered the second half of May. During the window period of the World Youth Championships that started last year, although there are three U5 20-meter runners who have passed the standard except Su Qian, their performances are hovering on the edge of the passing line. The one with the best score is Xu Runzhang, who has just been promoted from the U100 group.

After Xu Runzhang was promoted from the U18 group to the U20 youth group, his performance fluctuated slightly, but he still adjusted his state well.

在今年的冬训结束之后，他连着参与了几场国内的赛事，将他的PB从10秒52刷新到了10秒47，顺利进入了10秒50以内的领域。

But apart from Xu Runzhang, the other two qualified U20 players all achieved around 10 seconds, which can only be said to be barely within the qualifying range.

And if 100 meters and Su Qian can still have 4 qualified players, the 200 meters and 400 meters are particularly bleak.

In the 200 meters, besides Su Qian, there is only one player who has entered the mark line.

For the 400 meters, Su Qian did not have an official result, so the only player who entered the mark line was 19-year-old Yu Shuang this year.

After explaining to You Yun the preparations for the current track and field World Youth Championships, Xing Yuanzhi made some supplements on Su Qian's schedule for the next period of time.

"You will still take Su Qian to participate in the next events, including the interval between the track and field challenges in Europe from June to July. The national team can also come forward here, contact and arrange a series of events suitable for filling and adjusting the state. European series of training games."

"We have also discussed the World Youth Championship trials and training camps before the start of the World Youth Championships. Su Qian does not need to return to China to participate. He can train at the overseas training bases of European national teams, and at this stage he will be represented by competitions." practice."

You Yun nodded, then thought about it, and said directly: "Director Xing, do you have anything special to arrange?"

Regarding Su Qian's special treatment, it is unexpected and reasonable.

Purely based on Su Qian's talent and potential, it is completely expected that the national team will give him additional arrangements, but these arrangements are actually a bit too easy to talk about.

Xing Yuanzhi smiled bitterly, and then said: "We hope to arrange one or two 400-meter races for Su Qian in this series of training games. There is no need to put special pressure on him, but we want to see if he can compete in the competition." Give a qualified result of the World Youth Championship."

"With regard to this World Youth Championship in Cali, we still hope that Su Qian will give priority to the 100m or 200m. At present, these two are also Su Qian's main projects. As for the 400m..."

Xing Yuanzhi paused: "The request for 400 meters is mainly for insurance."

"At present, in the 400 meters, except for Yu Shuang, there is basically no hope for other players to reach the standard before August. If Yu Shuang is alone, it is not safe. In order to prevent accidents, I hope Su Qian will try to run 8-1 2 meters. Race", regardless of the final score, after running these two races, there is no need to arrange a 400-meter race. "

In the conference room, the coaches present have discussed this plan in previous meetings.

This is actually an insurance plan, mainly to prevent Yu Shuang from getting injured before the competition. At that time, there will be no qualified players in the 400-meter event who will be able to top it, which will make people feel uncomfortable.

But of course the coaching staff will not take Su Qian's results as a joke, so after discussion, they decided on such a plan. As long as Su Qian tries 1-2 games, it is best if he can meet the standard. If he can't, then he will be decisive. give up.

You Yun thought about it, but quickly agreed to the request.

In the 100-meter and 200-meter races, a 400-meter race is briefly inserted. Although this will slightly disrupt the original arrangement, it is not an additional means of relaxation.

After solving Su Qian's arrangements here, the arrangements for the rest of the players will be much easier.

The team for this European training match was considered by the national team about two months ago, but at that time the final list for the European tour had not been fully decided. Yu Shuang's name was added.

Yu Shuang ran 46 seconds in the Diamond League this time, which proved that he can really withstand the pressure, and he should still have a lot of potential to tap.

After Tian Wenhan confirmed this point, he directly canceled Yu Shuang's domestic schedule and decided to let him go to the European arena, which needs constant challenges.

As for the schedule of Xian Wangxing and others, more or less minor adjustments were made.

After the day's meeting ended, You Yun called Su Qian directly and told him about the adjustment arrangements for the subsequent part of the competition.

"Although I agreed to the condition of participating in the 400-meter race for you, if you don't want to, then I can refuse it for you now." When You Yun said this, he did not hesitate at all.

"The main directions I have arranged for you this year are the 100m and 200m. The 400m is not in the plan. Except for the preferential treatment that may come from it, I think you still have to consider your opinion."

"Eh?" Su Qian sat cross-legged on the swivel chair, swayed on the chair twice, then scratched his head and agreed.

"Brother Yun, you decide. I have no objections to participating in the 100, 200 and 400 races, and the 400 meters... I also want to try the feeling of running the 400 in an official race. From last year to this year, I ran I ran the 100-meter race, and I also ran the 200-meter race, and it would be nice to have another 400-meter race!"

Furthermore, during the winter training, he has been a "tool modest" for so long, and the tool belongs to the tool. He feels that his 400-meter performance should be improved as Yu Shuang said.

If this is the case, don’t you feel like you’re at a loss if you don’t get an official result?

You Yun looked at Su Qian's silly appearance, smiled, and then nodded: "Okay, just run a result, let me see which race you arrange for your 400-meter race, try not to Affects your 100m and 200m stats."

Su Qian had no objection to this conclusion, and expressed his affirmation with "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" happily.

Next, after confirming the wishes of several players and gathering the players, the national team quickly assigned the European entourage and coaches. The whole European track and field team was organized and was ready to be held on May 5. let's go.

While Su Qian accompanied the national team to the national team's overseas training base in Hamburg, Germany, Clark, who was far away in the United States, also participated in the men's 5-meter warm-up match at the Eugene Station of the Diamond League on May 26.

As a Singaporean player training in the United States, even if Clark is a student of the old man Joris, he will naturally not be able to get the recommended spot for the Diamond League in the United States.

However, with the face of the old man Joris and Clark's results, the qualification for the warm-up match fell firmly into his hands.

At 5 o'clock in the evening of the same day, before the official start of the Diamond League, the players in the warm-up match first boarded the track to compete with each other.

And Clark usually competes with American U18 talent Christian. This is a 17-year-old player with a 10-meter PB of 27 seconds, which is quite close to Clark's result.

But in this game, Christian finally ran only 10 seconds and won the second place. In this warm-up game, Clark once again refreshed his PB and ran out 33 seconds 10 results.

When Clark crossed the finish line with absolute advantage, the audience watching the opening game couldn't help but give him a standing ovation.

This was an extremely exciting match. Clark sent a message to Su Qian immediately after the match, but thinking of the distance between the two and the reality that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Clark felt dissatisfied. The longing for a good friend is unavoidable and deeper.

It would be great if I could see Xiaoqian as soon as possible.

Before going to bed, Clark thought this way - he hadn't been able to meet Xiaoqian in his dream for more than half a year.

When he entered the familiar dream space, he was keenly aware that today is different from the dream space in the past half a year. This feeling is...

"Xiaoqian?!"
