Chapter 1528 Starting from this years competition, our goal should be changed to strive for first place!
[Si Tianfeng: In ten years, "circling the earth two and a half times along the equator" to win the Olympic gold medal!!!]
The 50-kilometer walking race is the most strenuous track and field competition, and its distance even exceeds that of the marathon. Although Chinese athlete Si Tianfeng regretted missing out on the medal, he ranked fourth in 3 hours, 44 minutes and 40 seconds, breaking through Asian countries in this event.
Best score ever.
[A new breakthrough in track and field, the 50-kilometer race breaks through Asia and enters the world!]
I have been practicing race walking professionally for nearly ten years. I train 30 kilometers every day. I practice 6 days a week and it is 180 kilometers. In ten years, I will be nearly 100,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to circling the earth along the equator two and a half times. But this time the hard work finally paid off.
! We broke the Asian record and won the historic fourth place, just shy of winning the medal in this event! This shows that our event has also begun to enter the medal competition!
[Si Tianfeng: The improvement brought about by foreign teachers is very important! Thank you to the country for the introduction of policies!]
"My pursuit is to break through my own limits, so I must persist." Si Tianfeng said: "But breaking through the limits does not just mean persistence. Without the help of Italian foreign teacher Damilano, my results will not be in Beijing."
There has been a leap forward after the Beijing Olympics! In the past, our characteristic was small steps and high frequency, but now the international characteristics are no longer in line with this. Fortunately, now we have begun to integrate with international standards. After the foreign teachers came, the overall technology
The training has been greatly improved, and some new equipment and equipment introduced by the team have also benefited us a lot, and the training is scientific and guaranteed.
Si Tianfeng's breakthrough is also consistent with the statement of Liu Hong, the silver medalist in the women's 20-kilometer race walk, who both expressed the importance of high-level foreign teachers in improving performance.
[Isamu Toyoki: Scientific training and the introduction of high-level foreign coaches will be the next key move for our track and field team!]
…
It can be seen that these achievements are all due to Su Shen's early arrival, which further highlights the importance of science and technology.
Because of the improvement of the sprint team, this core event of track and field has improved, and other events will naturally follow suit.
After all, we can all stand on the podium in sprinting, so why can’t I do this event?
As long as you have such thoughts, this is the greatest significance brought by Su Shen's 100-meter breakthrough.
But now is not the time for the sprint team to stop, they still have things to do.
For them, the competition is still ongoing.
It's far from over.
This is because after the individual event is over, the team battle is about to begin.
This is also one of the most watched events in previous OW competitions. There is even a saying that the 100 meters is the individual event and the 100 meters is the team event.
I’m talking about the 100-meter individual event and the 4X100-meter relay race.
After Yu Toyoshu finished the press conference for Asia's new breakthrough in race walking, he immediately went to the conference room where the sprint team was.
Because the most important game later, the game that attracts the most attention, is here.
4X100m relay.
It is the final team battle event in almost all major competitions.
It’s not that the 4X400m is unimportant, nor that the other relay events are meaningless. It’s just that compared to the 4X100m event, it seems a bit underwhelming.
Similar to the status of the 100-meter race in individual track and field events, the 4X100-meter race is often the one that everyone pays most attention to among the team races.
Because of this project, it combines 100-meter speed and team attributes.
It is more complicated than the 100 meters, tests teamwork more, and is more prone to mistakes.
Teams as strong as the United States always make mistakes when it comes to passing the baton.
Because of this problem, they lost several games without fighting and eliminated themselves.
As for the women's team, let's not talk about it. As for the men's team, the record of the flower growers' relay team is amazing and their growth is rapid.
Since this group of athletes began to dominate the 4X100m relay in 2006, various records have been broken, first the national record.
Then came the Asian record, broken, broken, broken.
It can be said that they have single-handedly raised the relay level across the country and even Asia to the top level in the world.
After all, this is a young team like theirs. They went out for the first time five years ago and miraculously achieved a good result of 37.88s in Osaka, winning a history-making silver medal in one fell swoop.
Then at the North Olympics, relying on a score of 37.50s, he reached second place and went on to win the silver medal.
Berlin further improved, soaring the score to 37.21s, still losing to the Jamaican team.
I have won silver medals in all three competitions. To say that I am the best in the world is not an exaggeration.
Even if you can say that this is because the American team blew itself up, otherwise they might not be able to win some games and get a silver medal.
On paper, that may be the case, but... mistakes and on-the-spot performance are inherently part of competitive sports.
It's not like we made you make a mistake. You didn't make a good handover and ran out of the handover area. Who can blame you?
It’s not like you can only blame yourself.
And starting from this year, even if they meet the American team and have a head-to-head confrontation, Su Shen and the others... are not afraid at all.
Because this team has been tested since 2007 and has competed with teams in three major competitions, and the third and fourth teams have never changed. The level of tacit understanding can only be said to be overwhelming.
Even Zhao Haohuan joked with Su Shen that in addition to Jamaica, they can win even the third or fourth team of the United States.
To be able to say such words in the past few years when the world's masters have exploded is enough to show that now everyone...
They all regard themselves as a world-class relay team from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s no longer the “dark horse” mentality I had before.
If you want to be a "dark horse" now, it will be done by others.
They are now truly the world's top relay team. Except for Jamaica, who would dare to disapprove if results speak for themselves?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Three shining silver medals are enough to kill their bad mouth if they don't accept it.
After opening the door and going in, Toyoki Isamu heard the heated discussion inside, and the words he said were "unbelievable remarks" that he had never dared to think about before.
"How can France and Poland be our opponents? I don't think we need to think about it at all. We can win easily if we exert 80% of our strength."
"The lineup of this year's relay team is not good. I guess it's not very good, so I don't need to think too much about it."
"Trinidad and Tobago may be very good, but their handover is relatively average. Personal strength is a common problem of the American team and it doesn't seem to be a big deal now. I don't think it needs to be considered."
"Little Eagle Country? I thought it was twenty years ago, but it's not a country at all!"
"So we still have to consider only the Jamaican and American teams."
Take a look.
Listen.
Although these seemingly arrogant remarks were made in private, they also made Isamu Toyoki, the head coach of the track and field team, feel comfortable inside.
In the past, when I watched the Polish team, I would tremble with fear, and everyone felt from the bottom of their hearts that they couldn't do it.
When encountering a strong team like Omi, my legs feel weak and I feel a lack of confidence.
Now, finally, under the impact of these young people winning silver medals in OW competitions one after another, everything has disappeared.
At this time, if anyone still said that our relay was inferior to others, Toyoki Yuu wanted to go over and give him a big mouth, and then asked him:
Why, except for Jamaica, everyone else is not human in your eyes, right?
How can I be second best in the world?
The American team has never beaten us in these years.
You don’t care if he made a mistake on his own, does that have anything to do with us?
It's not our fault.
So this time...
Before Toyoki Yuu had finished thinking, one word almost caused his chest to be hit by a big stone.
"What's the point of always taking second place? Starting from this year's OW competition, I think our goal should be changed."
This familiar voice said loudly: "I feel that starting from this year's Daegu, our relay goal should be changed to gold medal."
"Even if we can't do it this year, we have to get closer step by step."
"It's time for us to challenge for first place."
These words...
It really made the whole audience spit out blood.
Everyone was originally very enthusiastic and passionate, but now...
Isn't the span too big?
After all, it was Jamaica.
Just thinking about it makes me feel intimidated by the luxurious tour group in Jamaica.
All four of them are members of the 9.70 club. Let me ask you, when did this happen in history?
Even if we form a joint team from all over the world, we may not be able to defeat them.
It's not that everyone has no ideas, it's just that the three words "Jamaica" have been deeply rooted in people's hearts since 2008.
If you want to covet them, you still need an opportunity.
That is……
It has to be close enough once for everyone to see the hope of winning the championship.
Let everyone see more hope than in the past.
As long as they can truly get close, they can even threaten the Jamaican Heavenly Group.
Then Su Shen thought...the ambitions of these guys must be naturally activated.
But now, not even a threat has arisen, so it is naturally difficult for people to have other thoughts.
"Xiao Tian, this is a good idea, but it seems a bit difficult to do in Jamaica, right?" Yu Weili felt that this seemed a bit too difficult. It seemed to be even more difficult than the 100-meter error.
Because the opponent with four people is too strong, it is more difficult than a single mistake in the 100-meter run.
"You have to do it because it's difficult." Su Shen smiled and said to everyone: "And it's boring to watch them win easily all the time."
