Almighty Athlete

Chapter 29: A dream of forty years

Views:

It's late at night.

Director Yu lay on the bed and giggled from time to time.

An old man in the same room couldn't stand it any longer and said: "Lesui, ok, don't get excited, it's time to go to bed, there is a game tomorrow!"

This old man is Director He, who is ten years older than Director Yu. He is also a senior coach of the national track and field team. He is mainly responsible for throwing events such as shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw.

"Mr. He, you don't understand. I have been waiting for this moment today for forty years!" Director Yu continued with emotion: "In 1964, I just joined the provincial team. At that time, I My dream is to become the number one flyer in Asia! In 1977, I retired and became a coach, and I imagined that one of my disciples could become the number one flyer in Asia and fulfill my dream when I was young. Forty years later, I’ve been waiting for forty years! Now I finally do it!”

The national team is very strong in throwing events, and individual women's players are even capable of competing for Olympic gold medals. Although the performance of male athletes is not as good as that of women, they are definitely top-notch in Asia. Therefore, He Lao, who is in charge of the throwing project, really doesn't understand what it is like to wait for forty years.

After a while, Director He said: "Go to bed early. We have competitions tomorrow. I remember you have the 4x100m finals and the 200m finals tomorrow."

"Don't worry. In the 200-meter event, our Yang Yao is a very capable athlete. Now that Shingo is injured, the Japanese team only has Tsuchie Hiroshi and Takahira Shinji. Yang Yao should be able to win a spot. A medal; as for the 4x100m event, without Shingo, it is not certain whether the Japanese team will be able to play tomorrow. We have Zhang Guan, a rare soldier, and maybe we can compete for the gold medal in the 4x100m." Yu Guiding is confident. Full of words.

Director He frowned and asked: "During the game during the day, I was watching Zhang Guan and didn't notice Sutsugo Shingo. Where do you think he was injured?"

Director Yu sat up and gestured with his hands while saying: "When Shingo Sutsugo was first injured, I thought he injured his ankle, but judging from his appearance when he came off the field, it was more likely that his Achilles tendon was injured. "

Director He nodded: "Susu Shenwu's main event is the 200-meter dash after all. It is normal for the left ankle to be injured, but if the Achilles tendon is injured, it will be a big trouble."

The 200-meter sprinter needs to go through a left turn after starting. In the case of high-explosive high-speed left-turn running, the force on the left ankle of the athlete is the greatest, so the left ankle of the 200-meter athlete is easily stressed. sexual harm.

As for the Achilles tendon, it can be said to be the life of a sprinter. The Achilles tendon is a large tendon located behind the ankle joint. It is an indispensable tissue for human walking, running, climbing and other sports. Whether a sprinter's explosive power is strong or not is also related to the strength of the Achilles tendon. Later, some people analyzed that the reason why Bolt ran fast was because his Achilles tendon was unusually thick and developed.

Once a sprinter's Achilles tendon is severely damaged, even if the injury is healed, he will lose part of his explosive power and speed, and it will be difficult to return to his peak state. Many outstanding athletes even have to retire due to Achilles tendon injuries, such as Liu Feiren That's it.

In order to maintain high explosive power, sprinters will suffer some damage to their Achilles tendon during exercise, so Achilles tendon injury is a problem that every sprinter will face. Many of the sprint champions of later generations would spend a lot of money to hire world-class physical therapists to relax their Achilles tendons for them after the competition. Just like Usain Bolt, he always goes to Germany during his vacations because Germany has top-notch physical therapists and advanced equipment that can relax his Achilles tendon.

Instructor Yu's guess was correct. The injured position of Susu Shenwu was indeed the Achilles tendon of his left leg.

At the Japanese team's station, Takano came in to Kobayashi Keikazu and said: "Coach, this is the report and examination results from the team doctor."

Kobayashi Jinghe waved his hand: "I won't read the report. Let's just talk about the results."

"The team doctor said it was an Achilles tendon strain. It was mainly caused by the Achilles tendon being in a state of fatigue for a long time, and excessive force was the cause of the strain. The doctor suggested that Shenwu should stop doing strenuous exercise and need to go through Rest and physical therapy to restore the Achilles tendon. However, the medical conditions in the Philippines are too poor, so for physical therapy, you need to return to Japan." Susumu Takano said.

"How long do I need to rest? Can the next game still be played?" Kobayashi Keikazu asked.

"The doctor recommends resting for two weeks and then making a decision based on the recovery situation. I have put Shingo Sutsutsu into special shoes, which will not affect his movements, but the doctor does not recommend that Shingo Sutsutsu continue to participate in the next competition." Susumu Takano stopped. After he finished speaking, his face looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Kobayashi Keikazu realized that Takano Susumu had something to say, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's like this. Suetsugu Shingo himself strongly requests to participate in the next competition." Takano Susumu said.

Kobayashi Keikazu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Next, Sutsugo Shingo has two races left, the 4x100m final tomorrow morning, and the men's 200m dash final. If Sutsutsu Shingo still has If he can compete, let him compete in the 4x100m final, but don’t let him participate in the 200m dash.”

"Yes! I'll tell him right away." Gao Yejin nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Kobayashi Keikazu stopped Takano Susumu again, and then said: "Satsuzu Shingo's leg injury is no longer suitable for running the fourth leg. Let him switch with Asahara Nobuharu, and Asahara Nobuharu will run the fourth leg. , at the end of the day, Shenwu ran the second leg."

In China, although it is already past nine o'clock in the evening, Editor-in-Chief Zheng of the sports section of a well-known online media is still sitting in his office, typing on the keyboard and writing manuscripts.

"The win in Manila broke the Asian record, and Zhang Guan beat the Japanese players."

"Chinese athlete Zhang Guan, who once said he would break the 5-year-old Asian record in the 100-meter dash held by Japan's Koji Ito this year, finally fulfilled his vow today at the Asian Track and Field Championships in Manila, Philippines. 9 seconds 99, Zhang Guan not only improved the original Asian record by 0.01 seconds, but also won his first international championship."

“It’s not an exaggeration to use “explosive” to describe Zhang Guan’s growth this year. In the international athlete test in May, Zhang Guan just qualified as a national second-level athlete. Later, in the Asian Track and Field Championships qualifiers, Zhang Guan set a time of 10.16 seconds. He won the championship in the 100-meter dash, broke the national record in the men's 100-meter dash, and was crowned the first person in the country... "

A press release was written. Editor Zheng read it several times and felt very satisfied.

Just yesterday, one of Editor Zheng's editors copied and pasted an article and had just finished hacking Zhang Guan. But this afternoon, news broke that Zhang Guan had broken the Asian record. Editor Zheng had to personally step up and wipe the ass of his subordinates. . This time, Editor Zheng wrote out all of Zhang Guan’s growth history. Firstly, it was to show that the actual situation was the same as previously reported. Zhang Guan had indeed gone from an unknown high school student to the number one person in Asia in just four months. They As a media, we are not talking nonsense; the second subtext is that the previous suspicions are well-founded and are reasonable doubts.

But at the end of the article, Editor Zheng still vigorously praised Zhang Guan's record breaking, which can be regarded as making up for the situation.

Compared with online media, newspapers are not as timely and fast. Today's newspapers often report on what happened during the day yesterday. Precisely because newspapers are slow to release news, newspapers have not yet had time to report negative news about Zhang Guan. , I received the news that Zhang Guan broke the Asian record.

The newspaper did not slander Zhang, so it had no worries in reporting it and did not bother to play word games. It directly added a photo as a headline. As a result, early the next morning, the headlines of mainstream domestic newspapers and media were all reporting on Zhang. The news broke the Asian record.

Who is Zhang Guan? Ordinary people don't know.

Asian 100-meter dash record? 9 seconds 99? Ordinary people have no idea.

But Zhang Guan broke the record held by the Japanese, which is very different. The thinking of ordinary people is very simple. No matter what sports, if you can defeat the Japanese, you are definitely not a coward.

So on this day, Zhang Guan officially entered the eyes of ordinary people, and many people remembered this name.

In the track and field circle, the news that Zhang Guan broke the Asian record was like a typhoon passing through, setting off huge waves.

Zhang Guanneng's ability to break the national record originally surprised many people, but breaking the Asian record today is simply beyond normal understanding.

"After two months of training, he broke the national record, and after another two months of training, he broke the Asian record. Fortunately, there will be no international competition in two months, otherwise this kid would still break the world record!"

"Is that guy Zhang Guan a monster? It's so difficult to improve our performance by 0.01 seconds, but he's better. The speed of improving his performance is like riding a rocket."

"It's Chen Laohui who recognizes heroes with his eyes! Who would have thought of going to the examination room for national second-level athletes to select people!"

"This crown might be another Liu Fei!"

"I think Liu Feiren is not as good as Zhang Guan, and the 100-meter dash has a much greater influence than the 110-meter hurdles."

"The 100-meter dash has great influence, but the competition is also more intense, isn't it?"

While Zhang Guan was occupying the headlines of domestic newspapers, the game was still going on in Manila, Philippines.

Today is the last day of competition, and the first thing to start early in the morning is the 4x100m competition. The women's competition is first, followed by the men's competition.

Suetsugu Shingo still appeared in the Japanese team's player preparation area, but his left leg was tied with a thick bandage. It seemed that yesterday's injury still had a considerable impact.

Originally, the Japanese team was the strongest, and its advantage in this event was also relatively obvious. But now that Suzuki Shingo is injured, the Japanese team has lost their strongest point, leaving several countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan behind. They are eager to win the championship, which naturally includes the Chinese team.

"Come on, champion!" The four players of the national team folded their hands together, encouraged each other, and began to walk towards their respective positions.

At the same time, Zhang Guan entered the system silently.

"There is another skill point, learn to sprint around corners!"
