[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

Gao Ziyi was about to die of laughter from the two of them, so he went to get another box of milk and handed it to Chi Lang: "Come, drink this to relieve the spicy heat."

Chi Lang raised his head, gulped and drank it in one gulp, and then stopped breathing fire, but the fiery breath still rushed to his forehead: "My God, there is no chili pepper, why is it so powerful?"

"Here it is." Gu Ran moved his dinner plate away, and there was a crumpled napkin next to it. He stretched out two fingers to open it, and it was filled with a lot of dried chilies.

Chi Lang's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief, with raised brows and a ferocious look, as if he wanted to chew him up and swallow him: "Gu Xiaoran, you are so bad that you have no limit, do you know that?"

Gu Ran had a smirk on her face: "Don't blame me, it was you who pretended not to overturn the car hahaha."

In order to retaliate against him, Chi Lang pulled his dinner plate and ate all the dumplings in two or three bites.

Wiping his mouth after eating, he was still not satisfied, so he took the dinner plate and ordered another.

Seeing how he was devouring, Gu Ran couldn't help cursing: "Animals."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and rushed to cook the rice.

Gao Ziyi really couldn't see that they were like children, so he ran again because he was tired, and brought them a big plate of dumplings.

The three young men were just at the age when they could eat. The aunt in the canteen watched them eat a hundred or so dumplings, and she was so happy from ear to ear.

After dinner, everyone went back to the dormitory to have a rest. Cheng Sen had a meeting in the evening.

Gu Ran was also idle, took a broom to clean up by himself, cleaned all the corners, and suddenly saw something, ran to the opposite room to find Chi Lang: "Chi Dali!! Come here, come here, just now Let's eat, I'll give you another meal."

Chi Lang knew in his mind that he had no good intentions, but his legs didn't listen to him. Gu Ran tugged lightly, and he followed them in a daze.

Gu Ran pulled him to her room, pointed to the two cockroaches on the floor that had been swept out from under the bed, and said with a smile, "Take it back and enjoy it slowly."

Chi Lang strangled his neck: "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Gu Ran clasped his arm with both hands and pulled it out, but he couldn't move it at all. Chi Dali has nothing but strength, not only his legs are strong, but his hands are also strong enough.

Chi Lang dragged him out of the door: "You are so diligent, clean my room too."

Gu Ran grabbed his arm, bent over and pouted his buttocks, trying to throw him over his shoulder: "Is this not enough for you?"

When Chi Lang didn't pay attention, he almost fell to the ground, so he tightened his grip and locked Gu Ran tightly in his arms: "Gu Xiaoran, do you think you can beat me with your butt up?" .”

Compared with brute force, Gu Ran is no match for him, but he is not willing to let him go without a fight, so he throws him to fight to the death.The two people wrestled from the room to the corridor, the movement was not small, and immediately attracted people from the next room to come out to watch the fun.

"Are you two so free?"

Gu Ran, a cool swishing sound came from behind.Chi Lang let go of his hand as soon as he heard it, and his back straightened involuntarily.

The two turned their heads and saw the door of the room next to Chi Lang open, and Cheng Sen was standing at the door. The next moment, Xu Qing also came out of it, holding a notebook in his hand.

Chi Lang blurted out and asked, "Does Director Cheng also live here?"

"if not?"

Cheng Sen has a house in Beijing, but for the convenience of training, he usually lives in the athlete's apartment here, and only goes back on weekends.

Gu Ran came out with her head tilted from behind Chi Lang, and said hello to Xu Qing: "Director Xu, long time no see."

Xu Qing knocked on his notebook twice with a half-smile: "The meeting."

The content of the meeting is divided into three parts. The first part is of course announcing discipline, which is still the same old style. The word "dismissal" is still so loud when it comes out of Cheng Sen's mouth. After listening to it so many times, it still makes the young team members feel deafened. .

In the second part, I talked about the competition plan for this year's new season, which mainly includes the six-station Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup.

Then there is the World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships, which is also hosted by the International Skating Federation and the most important short track speed skating event every year.

Then there is the domestic short track speed skating championship, as well as the elite league, Shanghai Super Cup and other relatively insignificant competitions.

The players must be mentally prepared. At the beginning of the season, they need to fly frequently to various parts of the world to participate in the competition.

The third part is the next training.The first is to formulate three training stages according to the competition cycle, namely: basic preparation period, specific preparation period and competition period.

Now, they are in the basic preparation period.It mainly focuses on the basic functional quality of athletes, that is, physical training.Including aerobic bedding, strength training to thicken muscle fibers, and technical action bedding.

Training starts on Monday, starting with recovery training.Cheng Sen and Xu Qing's training plan is very detailed, even down to the part that each person needs to strengthen.

Xu Qing first explained Liu Fei and Ren Yongjie's training plan in detail, then called Meng Yuqiao, looked down at the notebook, raised his head, and showed a loving face like an elder: "Did I ask you a question in Amsterdam?" question."

Meng Yuqiao nodded: "Ask me if I know how Gu Ran trains in the provincial team."

Xu Qing said, "You will know on Monday."

Meng Yuqiao nodded again and said nothing more.He knew that his stamina was a weakness, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing couldn't let him go.Now that he has come to the national team, no matter what kind of training he has to endure.

After Cheng Sen finished talking about all the plans and arrangements, he finally raised his head and asked, "That's probably all. If you don't understand, ask now, and don't make any trouble for me."

No one said a word, only Gu Ran raised the bag carefully: "Director Cheng, have you...forgot about me."

Cheng Sen said, "Aren't you sitting here?"

Gu Ran said, "Then why is there no training plan for me?"

Cheng Sen glanced at him and said with a smile, "Whatever training plan you want, just follow along."

Gu Ran didn't understand what he meant by "follow training", and then thought that the training plan of several teammates was repeated, and he probably also belonged to the category of this training plan.

So, I didn't worry about it anymore, I read a book for a while, took a bath again, and went to bed early.

The next morning, I got up at 06:30 to do morning exercises, went back to the dormitory to wash at 07:30, had breakfast at [-] o'clock, got ready, and went to the gym to start training one after another.

At the beginning, it was running. The others ran 3000 meters. Meng Yuqiao was specially taken care of by Xu Qing because of her good looks. She had to run 5000 meters, and there was a time limit. She had to finish the run within 23 minutes.

Gu Ran gloated at the side: "Your 23 minutes are considered good. Last year, Manager Xu set the time for me to run within 20 minutes."

Meng Yuqiao glanced behind him and asked, "Then have you run into 20 minutes?"

Gu Ran shook her head honestly: "I can't run in, I can't run in, I can't run to death."

At this moment, someone behind him suddenly said: "Then let's run with you, Da Qiao."

The slightly smiling voice made Gu Ran's hairs stand on end, and when she turned her head, she met Xu Qing's malicious gaze: "I'll give you a time."

"not me……"

Meng Yuqiao interrupted him loudly: "Yes!"

Gu Ran: "..."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction and left.

Gu Ran froze on the spot, unable to recover from surprise.Meng Yuqiao gave him a hand: "Let's start, little brother."

So, from this day on, Meng Yuqiao took Gu Ran with peace of mind and ran 5000 meters with him every day.

On the first day, Gu Ran finished the run in 21 minutes and 35 seconds. Meng Yuqiao was still 1500 meters away and threw up before finishing the run.

While patting him on the back, Gu Ran handed him a bottle of water: "It's okay, that's how I came here."

Seeing that he was so experienced, Meng Yuqiao asked, "I still have to vomit for a few days."

"Soon," Gu Ran said with a smile, "It will only be a week."

Meng Yuqiao: "..."

After running for a week, he really stopped vomiting.Gu Ran was more relaxed than him. Although he couldn't finish the run within 20 minutes, it was still very easy for 21 and 22 minutes.

Meng Yuqiao was quite worried. He was indeed weak physically, not even as good as some of the female players. He couldn't finish the time set by Xu Qing at all.

Gu Ran whispered in his ear: "It's okay, if you persist for another week, even if you can't run for 23 minutes, he won't let you run."

Meng Yuqiao was curious: "Really?"

Gu Ran nodded firmly: "Really!"

Meng Yuqiao rarely raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Are you speaking from experience, or do you have any basis?"

Gu Ran gave him a popular science: "Didn't Director Cheng say that during the meeting that day? The training atmosphere has a large cycle and a small cycle. The small cycle is usually 3-4 weeks, and the atmosphere is loaded and restored."

"I checked some literature after I came down. Generally speaking, after two weeks of high-intensity training, athletes will have a two-week recovery period. This has four purposes. First, the training effect needs to have a certain period of time. Second, avoid Athletes are overtrained and overtired; third, regular replacement of training methods can improve the enthusiasm of athletes; fourth, during the recovery phase, athletes' body and mind can also be fully relaxed."

Meng Yuqiao frowned and looked at him: "Junior Junior Brother, I have already thought about your re-employment after you retire."

Gu Ran interjected, "Do you want to be a coach?"

Meng Yuqiao said, "You are very suitable."

Gu Ran smiled noncommittally: "Let's talk about it, maybe I want to do something else after I retire."

Two weeks later, sure enough, the fitness coaches changed their training methods.

After entering August, the training was adjusted from the basic preparation period to the specific preparation period.The goal of this stage is to improve lactic acid ability and lactic acid endurance, acceleration and absolute speed, maximum strength and explosive power, tactical analysis and overcoming training.

Although Gu Ran is the youngest, he ranks first in the team in terms of single-lap speed, four-lap full-power performance, and 30-second acceleration run. He only has seven lap full-power performances, and he ranks fourth in the team. , he lost to Chi Lang, a powerful monster.

In terms of tactical analysis and information collection, his ability is unparalleled in the team, with clear thinking, subtle observation, and excellent memory.

He also has an advantage that almost no other team members have, that is, his flexibility is particularly good. After the figure skating coach next door came to see it, he shook his head again and again. What about speed skating?

Although Cheng Sen and Xu Qing didn't praise Gu Ran much in front of him, their eyes sparkled when they communicated in private.

Cheng Sen said excitedly: "He already possesses the ability of a top short track speed skater, and now the difference is age and experience." He thought for a while, and then added, "I'm still a little impetuous on the field, and I can calm down a bit." It's even better."

Gu Ran is a team member brought out by Xu Qing, and the energy of protecting the calf is the same as that of his own cubs: "I think it's good, young players must be aggressive. On the field, whoever he is, if he doesn't accept it, he will Dry."

Cheng Sen smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I didn't say he was bad. I just wanted him to be a little calmer during the game."

Xu Qing looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

Cheng Sen smiled at him: "Anyway, I can't participate in the competition this year. I plan to train him."

So, he told Xu Qing his thoughts.

Xu Qing immediately objected: "You are purely playing with your mentality, it's not good."

Cheng Sen patted him on the back flatteringly, as if to appease the child's parents: "Exercising, there is no harm."

Anyway, he is the head coach, and it is useless for Xu Qing to object, he can only cooperate.

Beginning in September, the team members will start preparing for the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup. The first race is October 10-22 in Quebec, Canada.

Therefore, the training also gradually transitioned from the specific preparation period to the competition period.

But this has little to do with Gu Ran, because he started school.The school is an ordinary high school not far from the gymnasium, which is not the point, because it is relatively close to the athlete's apartment and the gymnasium, which is convenient for him to go to and from school.

After a week of class, Gu Ran felt that what the teacher said was too simple, and he almost stayed in the books. He read the books in the summer vacation, and the questions were much more profound than this. Even if he did not miss a class every day, he still learned Nothing, not to mention that he usually has to train, and the time of class has to be adjusted according to the training plan, so he can't learn much.

Fortunately, he still has a former deskmate who has been in touch with him all the time. After school started, Wei Yuening resumed the habit of arranging notes and sending them to him every day. Dye in a limited time, learn faster and more effectively.

But in training, he felt more and more wrong.But he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

After all, it was just a feeling that he didn't get the treatment that a top-notch athlete should have.

This morning was training on the ice. Cheng Sen outlined the training plan and emphasized what everyone should pay attention to. When it came to Gu Ran, he stopped and waved his hand: "Let's start."

In the second half, the men's and women's teams will practice separately, with Cheng Sen training the men's team and Xu Qing training the women's team.

Although Cheng Sen said a lot just now, he stopped when he came to him, and then skipped him and started training directly.

Gu Ran didn't care, and silently followed behind Gao Ziyi, ready to start skating.

Cheng Sen noticed him as soon as he tilted his head, so he called out, "Gu Ran, go to Director Xu."

"Ah?" Gu Ran suspected that she had heard it wrong, "Isn't Director Xu the women's team..."

Cheng Sen nodded: "Well, I just want you to go to the women's team to practice with them..."

"..."

Gu Ran stood still, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not a girl, why should I train with the women's team?"

Cheng Sen went over and patted him on the head: "Look, you don't have to compete recently, so it doesn't matter if you go to practice with them."

"!!!"

Gu Ran understood, he was asked to be a training partner for the women's team.The little guy was even more wronged.He never expected that he came to the national team not to win glory for the country, but to serve as a training partner for the brothers and sisters.

The senior brothers held back their laughter, came over and patted his head, patted his face: "Little junior brother, go quickly, the senior sisters are waiting for you."

Chi Lang even stretched out his hand and pushed him on the shoulder: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly."

Gu Ran still stood there without moving, with an even more aggrieved expression.Only Gao Ziyi stayed by his side for a long time, touched the back of his head, and said softly: "We used to train with Xu, it doesn't matter."

Gu Ran bit her lower lip, silently turned and slid to the other side.

He used to stand beside a few girls, Xu Qing just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Next, the women's team has a test, which is the event that each athlete will participate in the competition.Gu Ran was like a tool man, who was first instructed by Xu Qing to skate 500 meters with Liang Kexin and other short-distance competitors, and then was called to skate 1000 meters with Yang Shanshan.

With Gu Ran's current strength, even if they start alone, they can easily catch up.The senior sisters could only stand behind him, watching his back from a distance, and kept chasing after him.

Gu Ran didn't skate too fast, the rhythm changed quite obviously.When the seniors were too far behind, he would slow down, and when the seniors were about to catch up, he would speed up halfway.This is also a good practice for himself.

Xu Qing glanced at the female players at the stopwatch, and then at him.Occasionally, I spend more time watching him, especially when his route changes and he starts to speed up halfway.

At the end of the test, Xu Qing looked down at the stopwatch and was very satisfied with the results of the female team members.By the way, I also praised Gu Ran: "That's right, all the senior sisters used all their might to chase you."

Liang Kexin puffed her waist and panted: "The little junior is so cute, I am willing to chase him."

Gu Ran stood in the distance, neither speaking nor approaching.

Later, Xu Qing asked him to skate 1500 meters with several female players.This is not Gu Ran's strong point. At the beginning, he was still leading the skate in front of his senior sisters. After nine or ten laps, one of his senior sisters accelerated and overtook him.

Gu Ran was stunned when she saw her passing by, and fell into self-doubt for a moment, who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?

He was actually testing with the female team members, and was overtaken by his senior sister? ? ?

Thinking of this, Gu Ran began to chase forward at a high speed, regardless of the route, and the technical essentials were forgotten, anyway, he would not give up until he chased.

Xu Qing shook his head when he saw this, the brat's damned desire to win, no matter what, no one can see others surpass him, no one can do it.If someone dares to overtake him, he will definitely overtake him as soon as possible.

Sure enough, at Gu Ran's speed, at the next bend, the senior sister was left behind by him.

The female team member is named Luo Mengyao, she is 25 years old this year, she has participated in two Winter Olympics, she used to be teammates with Cheng Sen and Xu Qing, she is very experienced and very calm.

She didn't look at Gu Ran at all, and still skated according to her own rhythm and route.When the last two people crossed the line, Gu Ran was not much faster than Luo Mengyao, but Luo Mengyao slid a good result.

After the end, Luo Mengyao patted Gu Ran's chest with the back of her hand: "The technique is good, and the ability is also very strong, but the mentality needs to be practiced."

Gu Ran: "..."

At the end of September, the national team will participate in the Shanghai Super Cup.Gu Ran didn't go, and stayed in Beijing alone, training with the assistant coach.

Before leaving, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing studied for two nights, specially formulated a five-day training plan for Gu Ran, and handed it over to the assistant coach, asking him to train Gu Ran strictly according to this plan every day.

However, five days later, when they returned from Shanghai, they found that Gu Ran had gotten along with the figure skating team next door.

The author has something to say: Gu Xiaoran: Goodbye, two coaches, I am going on a long voyage tonight!
