Dai Li walked to the referee's table.
"Hello, referee, I am the coach of Tsinghua University. I would like to ask, is Zhao Yue, the athlete in Group K, the same Zhao Yue who was in the national team before?" Li Dai asked.
Li Dai was pretending to be confused. He clearly knew that Zhao Yue had experience in the national team, but he did not point it out. He deliberately chose the way to ask.
The referee laughed instead: "Are you the coach of Tsinghua University? No wonder you asked this question. Your Tsinghua University is strong in sprint events, and this Zhao Yue is your strong rival! If it weren't for Zhao Yue, your team's That Niu Guohong should definitely win the gold medal!"
Dai Li blinked awkwardly, and the referee continued: "This Zhao Yue was indeed a member of the national team, but there is no problem with his qualifications."
Li Dai deliberately showed a look of confusion: "According to the rules, athletes who have participated in the National Track and Field Championships, Grand Prix, Championship and other events should not be allowed to register, right? Could it be that Zhao Yue was in the national team and failed to win the National Track and Field Championships once in a row? Have you never participated in a Grand Prix?"
Athletes from many provincial track and field teams have the opportunity to participate in events such as the National Track and Field Grand Prix. As an outstanding athlete on the national team, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Yue to have not participated in the Grand Prix.
The referee explained: "Zhao Yue's situation is somewhat special. He used to be a member of the national team. Two years ago, Zhao Yue retired due to illness, and he was also removed from the national team."
"Zhao Yue is still very young, why did he retire due to illness!" Li Dai was still full of doubts, and then asked: "Retired athletes? Can they be exempted from the restrictions of the competition rules?"
"Retirement is only one of the reasons. The key is that Zhao Yue has not participated in any official competitions in the past two years, and we cannot find any competition records of his in the past two years. In the high-level athlete query system of the General Administration of Sports, it has also been His name was cancelled."
"Zhao Yue is currently a master's student at Nandu University, and has officially registered with the Joint Secretariat of the Student Sports Association of the Ministry of Education and obtained a "College Athlete" registration card. At the same time, he is 26 years old and meets the registration conditions between 18 and 28 years old. . He meets all the registration requirements."
When the referee explained it like this, Dai Li roughly understood it.
The University Games are sponsored by the Ministry of Education. Although the General Administration of Sports also participates, it can only be regarded as a supporting role. Therefore, the qualifications of athletes for the Universiade are also decided by the Ministry of Education.
As far as the Ministry of Education is concerned, Zhao Yue is no longer an active athlete and is not under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Sports. He has also registered with the Ministry of Education, which is equivalent to changing his family, so he is qualified to participate.
In fact, the responsibilities of the State Sports General Administration cover the entire sports industry, including competitive sports, youth sports, national fitness, etc., but only in the sports of college students, the General Administration of Sports cannot get involved and can only stand by and watch. The reason is that universities are affiliated with education. The Ministry of Education is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, so the sports activities of college students are also handed over to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education has also established a student sports association for this purpose.
The Ministry of Education is definitely not willing to hand over the powers it has obtained to the General Administration of Sports. The Universiade restricts the participation of high-level athletes. This is also the Ministry of Education's attempt to draw a clear line between the General Administration of Sports and the General Administration of Sports to prevent the General Administration of Sports from intervening in college student sports.
"When I left the Beikou training base, Zhao Yue was still in the national team. According to that, his retirement due to illness should have happened after I left the Beikou training base. I remember that he was only 23 or 24 at the time. Years old, which happens to be the peak age of a track and field athlete. It seems that this injury should be quite serious, otherwise, Zhao Yue would not choose to retire."
Li Dai thought of this and looked at the field. The competition in Group J was over, and the competition in Group K was about to begin, and Zhao Yue stood on the starting line.
"I haven't participated in any competitions for two years. This is a disaster for a professional athlete! Back then, Zhao Yue was a leader even in the national team. I don't know how many pounds Zhao Yue has left now. A few taels of level." Li Dai stared at the field silently, intending to observe Zhao Yue's situation.
The starting gun sounded, and Zhao Yue's starting reaction was relatively average. However, when the race entered 30 meters, Zhao Yue's strength advantage gradually emerged. He rushed to the front without any effort, and then ranked first in the group. The results successfully qualified.
"Zhao Yue didn't try his best!" Li Dai shook his head slightly. Based on a preliminary match, he couldn't tell Zhao Yue's true strength.
"We can only rely on the detector!" Li Dai walked closer and used the detector on Zhao Yue.
"Talent B, just like Niu Guohong, no wonder he can have a place in the national team. However, Zhao Yue's ability value is close to 600, which is much higher than Niu Guohong. He deserves to be a member of the national team." Dai Li's expression turned grim.
Although Zhao Yue and Niu Guohong are both B-level talents, Zhao Yue was once an excellent player on the national team. He has received the best training in the country for a long time and is more technically mature. This also makes Zhao Yue's level inevitably higher than what he is now. Niu Guohong is a lot taller.
"Zhao Yue's peak level must be more than this. Being able to stay at the Beikou training base, Zhao Yue's personal ability value at that time should be around 700. It seems that his retirement due to illness still had a great impact on Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue Yue is technically mature and has rich competition experience. When it comes to the competition, he will definitely be more mentally stable."
Li Dai weighed it in his mind and found that Niu Guohong really had no advantage against Zhao Yue in terms of level, technique, or mentality.
"Only relying on the bonus of the explosive power aura and the morale improvement book, I hope it can help Niu Guohong and the others perform better on the spot." Li Dai thought silently in his heart.
…
After the preliminary round of the 100-meter dash, the event organizing committee immediately organized the groups for the semi-finals, and Dai Li also got the group list for the semi-finals immediately.
"Niu Guohong, Group B in the semi-finals, Yang Sijie is in Group C, Xin Xiaotian is in Group E, and Zhao Yue is also in Group E, and is in the same group as Xin Xiaotian! There is some trouble, I have to give Xin Xiaotian a few words to let that Stop conserving your strength. If the boat capsizes in the gutter and fails to advance to the semi-finals, it will be embarrassing." Li Dai thought of this, called Xin Xiaotian close to him, and began to give instructions in a low voice.
At the same time, Coach Wu of Nandu University’s sprint team also got a place in the semi-finals.
"Zhao Yue, there is an athlete from Tsinghua University in your group." Coach Wu said.
"Oh." Zhao Yue continued playing with his phone without raising his head, not paying attention to what Coach Wu said.
After all, Zhao Yue was a former national player. For Zhao Yue, college athletes are just a bunch of bad guys. He can crush his opponents without using all his strength.
Coach Wu then advised: "You have to be more serious in the next game. Tsinghua University is different from other schools. Although they do not have a sports major, their players are stronger than many sports universities. There are many in the sports department of Tsinghua University. Athletes all have the ability to enter the national team.”
Mentioning the words "national team", Zhao Yue finally raised his head. He glanced in the direction of the Tsinghua University athletes and happened to see Dai Li.
"That man looks so familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere!" Zhao Yue said softly.
It has been almost three years since Dai Li went to the Beikou training base, and Dai Li usually only hangs out with Lin Feixiang and has no interaction with other athletes, so Zhao Yue did not think of Dai Li for a while. Who just thinks Dai Li looks familiar.
"What? Do you know him?" Coach Wu also glanced at Dai Li, and then said: "According to the information I heard, Tsinghua University invited the coach of the national team to train their athletes. I think that young coach, Maybe he was sent to Tsinghua University by the national team. He looks really young!"
"No wonder he looks familiar to me. He's from the national team! I must have seen him before." There was a hint of hatred in Zhao Yue's eyes.
"Kill him! What he did is the national team!"
