Chapter 447 I admit that there is a gambling element
"In the men's 200m semifinals of the World Athletics Championships held at 18:25 local time in Berlin on the 19th, Chinese teenager Lu Yan broke the world record for this event with an astonishing time of 19.04 seconds, and is expected to add another one to our country.
gold medal"
"Chinese youngster Lu Yan set a new world record in the men's 200 meters with an astonishing time of 19.04 seconds!"
"According to the event schedule, Lu Yan will first participate in the 5,000-meter preliminaries at 0:55 on the 21st, mainland time, and then participate in the 200-meter final at 2:35.
The time interval was less than an hour. If he wanted to qualify, he would have to expend a lot of energy. Then in the 200-meter final, he might lose the gold medal due to lack of physical strength.
So I concluded that he must withdraw from the competition.
Even if he doesn't want to quit, the leaders of mainland sports will ask him to quit.
There are many birds in the forest, not as good as one bird in the hand.
The training focuses of sprinting and long-distance running are different, and few athletes can take care of both.
I don’t know why he signed up for the 5,000-meter race, but it’s almost impossible for a sprinter to win the championship in long-distance running.”
…
Early in the morning on the 20th, many media outlets around the world began to report that Lu Yan set a new world record in the 200-meter event.
There are also some variety show review programs, with extensive comments and predictions.
However, he was not completely wrong. There was another dispute over whether Lu Yan should continue to participate in the 5000m preliminaries.
Domestic sports committee leaders, field management center leaders, head coaches, team doctors and others held many conference calls and discussed it over and over again.
It feels like a participant in the Spring Festival Gala. Until the last moment, you don’t know if you can attend.
Lu Yan felt completely unsure. If he was not allowed to participate in the 5,000-meter preliminaries, he would have no choice but to obey.
But the system's mission requirement is to break the world record three times. If you can't participate in the 5,000 meters, you can only run faster in the 200 meters.
Running under 18 seconds? It’s so shocking!
Fortunately, after repeated discussions and arguments, it was mainly because Lu Yan's long-distance running results during training before the game were also good.
Then head coach Feng Shuyong said: Lu Yan broke the world record in the 200 meters. Even if he was unable to win the championship due to physical exhaustion due to competition conflicts, everyone knows who is the king of the 200 meters.
But if we withdraw from the 5000m race in order to ensure this gold medal, other countries will think that we value the gold medal too much.
One leader banged the table and shouted, "That's nice to say, but if there is only one gold medal in the end, can you bear this responsibility?"
Feng Shuyong said loudly: "I believe Lu Yan, I can take responsibility for what I said!"
As a result, he went to Lu Yan privately and said, "Xiao Lu, it all depends on you whether I finish class early or take another step forward!"
Lu Yan was surprised, "Coach, you are gambling!"
Feng Shuyong nodded: "I admit that I am gambling, but I want to take a chance. You are a once-in-a-century sports genius, just like Li Xiaolong back then...!"
Speaking of this, I suddenly felt that this metaphor seemed unlucky, so I hurriedly said: "I mean, in terms of your extraordinary talents, they are very similar!"
Lu Yan smiled, "I understand, coach, thank you very much for supporting me. Don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"
Soon it was around 18:00 local time in Berlin on the 20th, and the auditorium of the entire stadium was filled with people, most of whom were here for Lu Yan.
These people really want to know what the famous sprinters who broke the world record look like during long-distance running.
I also want to know who will win the men’s 200m final tonight.
"This 5,000-meter preliminaries attracted a lot of spectators. It seems to have attracted more attention from the world than the previous 200-meter race! Then we see that those wearing red clothes are the Chinese cheering spectators. Most of them are in Europe
There are international students studying here, and there are also overseas Chinese working here.
Now let’s interview a few and hear their feelings.”
In the program broadcast by CCTV Sports Channel, on-site reporters went to the auditorium to interview Chinese audiences.
"Hello, I am a CCTV reporter. Can I ask you a few questions?"
When the reporter came up, he picked a pretty girl to ask questions.
"Well, sure!"
"May I ask how you feel about coming here to watch the game?"
"I was very excited, especially after Lu Yan won the 100-meter championship and set a new 200-meter record. The teachers and classmates around me were very surprised. They asked me, why can Lu Yan run so fast? Is it because he knows kung fu?"
The CCTV reporter smiled, "Then what was your answer?"
"I said yes, he is a person who knows kung fu, and then they all raised their thumbs and said, oh, good...!"
The reporter then picked another boy and asked: "How do you feel about Lu Yan winning the championship?"
The boy said: "I'm very excited and honored. In fact, those of us who study abroad have a deeper feeling about the power of our motherland because it is closely related to us. For example, if Lu Yan wins the championship, some white and black classmates will come over and say, wow
, Amazing, ese, amazing! The change is very subtle, but you can definitely feel it."
The reporter asked again: "What message do you have here?"
"Come on, Lu Yan, come on, motherland!"
…
An interview video brought tears to the eyes of many domestic viewers who stayed up late.
In the subsequent 5,000-meter event, Lu Yan's performance just qualified, but the audience in front of the TV showed understanding.
At this point in time, Fanfou.com, the social platform founded by Wang Xu, has been closed.
Xinlang Weibo, which has similar functions and uses, has just been launched into public beta.
At first, I didn’t expect that there would be too much traffic. I never thought that Lu Yan would win the men’s 100-meter event, but it collapsed instantly.
Xinlang Company couldn't see that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so it immediately expanded its capacity and added servers.
As a result, Lu Yan broke the world record in the 200 meters, and Xinlang Weibo crashed again.
This has naturally been repaired a long time ago, and many domestic netizens are discussing crazily on several topics related to Lu Yan.
"I feel sorry for Lu Yan. He has to compete in the 5,000 meters again, and he also has to conserve his energy for the 200 meters final. Seeing him wiping off his sweat after running, I feel so sad!"
"Are those coaches stupid? Why did they sign up for the project in the first place!"
"I heard it was a conspiracy. The original arrangement of the competition was not like this. The temporary adjustment was just to embarrass us!"
"Indeed, if you voluntarily withdraw from the competition, they may not be sure what they will write!"
"Bless Lu Yan to win the championship. He has broken the world record. It would be a big loss if he did not win the gold medal due to physical reasons!"
…
Seeing that the number of replies to topics about Lu Yan skyrocketed, the operators of the Xinlang Weibo project team were so happy that they could hardly close their mouths.
At the same time, some employees suggested that if Lu Yan opened a Weibo here and posted news, the number of fans would explode!
I submitted my idea and was immediately approved. No matter what, I have to ask Lu Yan to open a Weibo account here!
