Chapter 102



When the production crew of "Athletics Idol Training Camp" moved into the national track and field team training base and started filming, Cui Luoheng officially began the eight-to-seven change.

It can be said that the staff of the program team have been watching Cui Luoheng’s repeated training and repeated failures over the past few days.

Of course, it’s not entirely true to say that it was a complete failure. If he had changed his power leg, Cui Luoheng would still be able to run, but the starting speed and the overall rhythm were huge problems.

In the past few days, the director who was responsible for following Cui Luoheng felt a lot of pressure just by watching Cui Luoheng constantly making adjustments. Looking at Cui Luoheng squatting on the ground and struggling to adjust himself, the director couldn't help but ask Su Bai the question in his heart - the process of changing from eight to seven looks very difficult, but is this adjustment really effective?

"Of course." Su Bai nodded seriously. After a brief summary, he said to the director: "In the 110-meter hurdles event, running one less step will improve the result by at least 0.05 to 0.1 seconds."

"Ah?" The director, who had originally thought that Cui Luoheng's training in the past few days seemed very difficult, was stunned when he heard this: "Coach Su, you seem to have introduced before that this eight-to-seven training will last for 2-3 months, and there will be an adaptation period afterwards. With such a complicated training, the performance improvement is only 0.05 seconds or 0.1 seconds???"

Hearing the doubts from the director, Su Bai paused and explained again: "A Luo's current best result is 13.31 seconds. In other words, as long as the 8-to-7 technique is successfully applied, his result is likely to improve to 13.21 seconds. And the 8-to-7 technique has changed more than that. For example, A Luo is over 1.85 meters tall and has now reached 1.93 meters. For a runner of his height, if he uses the 8-step technique in the pre-hurdle stage of the 110-meter hurdles, he must deliberately shorten his pace before the hurdle."

"After changing from eight steps to seven, each step can actually be run more easily and naturally. Moreover, since the number of steps has been reduced, each step before the hurdle needs to be heavier, which allows for better use and accumulation of explosive power, and is also beneficial for subsequent hurdle attacks."

The director who was following nearby was confused, but Su Bai still carefully introduced the other advantages of the seven-step hurdle attack. For example, after changing from eight to seven, the athletes no longer need to slow down and pause to adjust before the first hurdle. In addition, the changes in speed and strength will enhance the athletes' explosive power.

"Compared with Lu Mengfan, Luo was relatively weak in the pre-hurdle stage and the first three hurdles. But if his eight-to-seven technique can be successful, it will greatly improve his weaknesses in the pre-hurdle stage and the first three hurdles."

"In general, if we simply reduce one step from eight to seven, Arlo's performance may only improve by 0.05 to 0.1 seconds. But in fact, we certainly can't just look at it this way. The improvement of a hurdler's overall strength from eight to seven is not something that can be summarized by simply changing from eight steps to seven steps before the hurdle."

Su Bai smiled again, then calmly looked in Cui Luoheng's direction: "Besides, for an event like the 110-meter hurdles, even a mere 0.01 second is something that the athletes need to race against time for. Even if the 8-to-7 change can only improve the athletes' time by 0.05 to 0.1 seconds, it is still a challenge that we must overcome."

At the side, the director was completely stunned when he heard what Su Bai said. He really had not thought about what Su Bai said. During this period of time, in order to make this professional track and field variety show well, all members of their program team have made up a lot of track and field related knowledge. They also know that it is difficult to improve the performance of track and field events. However, it was not until these few days that they really accompanied the athletes in training throughout the whole process, watching the athletes correct the postures and angles that seemed completely harmless to them again and again, that they felt the Asian Games, the Olympics... Where did the brilliant results achieved by the athletes in those games come from.

Even for unknown contestants like Hu Li and Zhang Wei in the team, to the directors and others, these ordinary contestants may only show failures on the field or stop in the preliminaries. However, after real contact in these days, the staff of the program group have truly seen that behind the so-called "failures" and "ordinary contestants", there is also sweat that does not belong to anyone.

These days, after the recording of the program ended, the staff couldn't help but sigh when chatting privately - sports competition is really too cruel.

While Su Bai was explaining to the director the necessity and importance of changing from eight to seven, Cui Luoheng tried to start again. His current posture was with his right foot in front and his left foot behind. During the training in the past few days, Su Bai had adjusted the starting preparatory posture and the corresponding starting force method for him many times. He had basically mastered the corresponding technical movements, but from "mastering" to deepening this technical movement into his "muscle instinct" were two completely different things.

Cui Luoheng closed his eyes and reviewed the technical moves that Su Bai had told him, then nodded to the assistant coach beside him, who then began to give the order again - "Ready, bang!"

The moment the electronic starting gun sounded, Cui Luoheng stepped on the starting block with his left foot, then injected explosive power and stepped on the starting block to start running... This starting process, which should have been very familiar to people, was more difficult than Cui Luoheng expected.

His start was successful, but he also failed.

Su Bai looked back at the starting reaction time recording machine, which showed that Cui Luoheng's starting reaction time was 0.229 seconds. For a professional athlete, this was a completely unqualified starting reaction data.

Cui Luoheng also saw his own data. He didn't say anything, but returned to the starting block, made some adjustments, squatted down again, and prepared to make the next start attempt.

This time, we conducted about ten exercises of responding to the gun and running.

After finishing the gun reaction exercise group in Cui Luoheng's training plan, he was still stubborn and wanted to continue this training, but was interrupted by Su Bai, who led him to the flexibility training equipment group and began to watch Cui Luoheng as he carried out the next planned training.

"Xiaobai..." When Cui Luoheng was pushed in front of the equipment group for flexibility training, his eyes were still looking at the starting training track with some reluctance, as if he wanted to go back at any time.

Su Bai looked at him with amusement, and then, under Cui Luoheng's expectant gaze, he replied with three words: "No."

As for Cui Luoheng's training, Su Bai had of course already prepared a complete training plan in advance. The training on reaction to gunshots and starting has just begun, and everything is still progressing step by step for the time being.

Of course Su Bai knew that the reason why Cui Luoheng stubbornly wanted to go back and continue his gun reaction training was because he thought that he could obviously maintain the correct starting posture, but the actual results when starting and reacting to the gun did not reach the ideal state.

However, changing habits does not happen overnight. Even for athletes who often need to adjust the details of their technical movements and therefore have strong control over their own bodies, the adjustment of the power leg from eight to seven is a very difficult hurdle to overcome.

In Su Bai's plan, what he had to do was to make Cui Luoheng thoroughly adapt to the new power leg and new habits in every training detail.

During the entire training process, Su Bai and Cui Luoheng did not communicate much, but they were definitely not silent. Most of the time, Su Bai was explaining to Cui Luoheng that there was a deviation in one of his movements and which muscle he should try to exert in order to achieve the correct training effect.

Although Cui Luoheng looks dull, he is not an athlete who only trains without understanding the details. When Su Bai makes new requests or new movement adjustments to him, he will think for himself first, and then ask questions to Su Bai to confirm whether the purpose of Su Bai's asking him to make corresponding movement adjustments deviates from his own understanding.

Cui Luoheng, who looks dull, and Su Bai, who also looks quiet, these two people seem to be particularly coordinated when they get along with each other in the huge indoor training ground.

On the side, the two shadow directors have become accustomed to these scenes in the past two days. If this were an ordinary variety show or reality show training scene, the two shadow directors might have quickly recorded the key points of these scenes, and then turned back to submit the relevant information elements to the director, so that the director could facilitate CP-oriented editing in the later stage.

But, this is an upright track and field variety show.

These days, the program staff have already been impressed by the hard work and sweat of all the national team athletes. From the chief director Jiang Yanjun to the ordinary accompanying directors and camera crews, all they want to do is to convey this serious sportsmanship to all the audience watching the program and let the audience understand how difficult it is for the athletes.

To the extent that all the staff have forgotten the special editing methods of supporting couples in past variety shows - what kind of support are there for supporting couples! This is all pure brotherhood and master-disciple love!

With such belief in mind, the staff felt that their thoughts and sentiments had been sublimated during the recording of this variety show.

but……

At the moment, during the communication process with Su Bai, Cui Luoheng had difficulty adapting to the new starting method, which led to increased starting reaction time, insufficient starting explosive power and other problems. Therefore, he looked expressionless and a little discouraged.

Su Bai smiled calmly, rubbed his head, and gently comforted him, telling him that it was okay, the training had just begun, and not to be anxious.

?

The two directors looked at each other silently - although it did look like the coach was just comforting the athletes, Cui Luoheng looked at Su Bai with innocent puppy eyes and expressionless face, and then deliberately lowered his head to let Su Bai rub his head...

Are they thinking too much?

But just now, did Cui Luoheng really lower his head on purpose to let Su Bai rub his head? ? ?

Is it because they deliberately added too much sugar during the recording of the show in the past, so now they see gay people as having a sense of couple with everyone they see?

Maybe……

Is this the normal way a master and disciple get along with each other, but because Su Bai looks too young, some strange suspicions arise?

Speaking of which, Su Bai is three years older than Cui Luoheng, and they are master and apprentice. This CP seems pretty good, right? Young wolfdog...

When the two people following the director's thoughts involuntarily turned to this, they both shuddered at the same time, then patted their heads and put this weird idea back into their minds.

What a sin! They are a team that is going to organize a passionate track and field variety show. How can they still be obsessed with couples like in the past?

Not far away, Cui Luoheng seemed to regain his spirits after Su Bai rubbed his head. Just as he was about to continue training, Qiu Wen, who was also doing flexibility training nearby, came over.

"noob!!"

?

Su Bai looked back at Qiu Wen in surprise, and saw Qiu Wen also pointing at his hair with sparkling eyes.

"ah?"

Qiu Wen's actions made Su Bai a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Qiu Wen widened his eyes and looked at Su Bai with disappointment: "qaq Xiaobai, you are not the Xiaobai who loved me in the past... We have been roommates for ten years, and you always rub Ah Heng's head to comfort him, but you never do that to me!"

…………

?

Su Bai stretched out his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and was just about to comfort this stupid Husky, but his hand was intercepted by Cui Luoheng halfway.

Qiu Wen was originally waiting for Su Bai's move, but he saw Cui Luoheng's "wolf claws" stretched out from the sky.

“……!”

Cui Luoheng looked at Qiu Wen expressionlessly, and then said confidently: "Xiaobai comforted me because I have a poor psychological quality."

The implication is to ask Qiu Wen: Is your mental quality not good too?

When Qiu Wen heard Cui Luoheng's words, his eyes widened and he froze on the spot - how could he be so self-righteous when he had poor psychological quality? Moreover, this guy Ah Heng has claimed that he has poor mental quality for the first time!

Qiu Wen was about to severely criticize Cui Luoheng's excuse, but suddenly a big hand covered his head and rubbed it hard.

"Fuck, who is that..." Qiu Wen turned around in confusion, and then saw Wang Shen: "Hey, Lao Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Shen glanced at him with a smile, then pointed at Su Bai and said, "I have questions, come to Xiao Bai."

“Ah? …Oh…”

Qiu Wen then remembered that Wang Shen's current training plan was still handled by Su Bai. Su Bai would visit Wang Shen from time to time. If Wang Shen had any questions about the training and plan, he would also come to Su Bai to discuss.

The friendship between the four of them was established when they were in the track and field team of Province S. They had always been talking and laughing with each other without any scruples. For example, Cui Luoheng kept saying "I have a bad mental quality" and Qiu Wen kept talking about "Xiaobai's harem". However, including them and the people in the track and field team around them, they had already gotten used to this way of getting along with each other during this period of time.

After Wang Shen arrived, Cui Luoheng and Qiu Wen went back to their training, leaving Wang Shen to discuss his problems with Su Bai.

Not far away, the director who was following Su Bai and the others watched the scenes just now and fell into silence for a long time - was it really that they had too many CPs in the past? Why do I still feel like something is not right?

Or is it that... friendship between true straight men is just full of such wonderful feelings?

For the next period of time, many staff members of the program group have been living in a state of being "pure straight men and straight women", but they also feel a strange feeling of seeing couples all over the world.

For example, Cui Luoheng and Su Bai's daily interactions, Qiu Wen and Su Bai's daily interactions, and Li Junhao's occasional criticism of Su Bai's daily interactions...

Of course, there are occasional conflicts between team members, such as Wang Shen and Qiu Wen, who seem to be quite interesting, and Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yadan...

Hey, wait, Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yadan are clearly a man and a woman, so why did they put Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yadan together with a bunch of other men's CPs when they were looking back?

Hey, wait a minute!

The daily interactions between Zhang Ziyi and Chen Yada seem somewhat real, don’t they? It’s just that Sister Dan has a powerful aura, while Zhang Ziyi looks relatively gentle. Could this be the legendary female A and male O… (Wait, stop thinking!)

Everyone on the track and field team is still focused on training every day. Of course, during the breaks in training, they will chat in groups of three or four in the training ground, or make an appointment to adjust each other's movements, or help and protect each other during training when there are not enough assistant coaches.

These parts are also where the program crew records and collects a lot of highlights and details - although it is a passionate track and field variety show, apart from training, these are more like details of "ordinary people", and are what the audience needs to recognize again.

For some ordinary audiences, "athletes" may have almost become creatures of another species. Anyway, athletes should be naturally better than ordinary people. Since athletes are professionals, they can definitely maintain their competitive state and be prepared for various competitions at any time. They will not encounter low periods and will not have any psychological barriers during competitions.

However, if you really understand it a little bit, you will know that this is not the case.

Athletes don’t take it for granted that they will achieve good results;

Athletes do not deserve to be despised by everyone when they fail.

Compared with all the audience, they are also ordinary people, but they also have the mission of bringing glory to the country, and the world they need to challenge is a dimension that many ordinary people can hardly challenge.

What the program team wants to do is not only to broadcast the athletes' hard work and diligence to the public, they also intend to present the athletes' real side as ordinary people to the public.

Then, tell everyone - these athletes are not only "figures on the altar" who win glory for the country, but also "people" like the millions of ordinary people around us.

Both the Athletics Administration Center and the national team agree with this theme and idea. In their view, this kind of publicity can not only reduce the conflict between athletes and ordinary people, but more importantly, it can also convey a belief - athletes are just ordinary people, they can do it, and so can you.

The original purpose of this variety show was to promote track and field events through variety shows. While spreading this concept, the alienation of ordinary people towards terms such as "track and field" and "professional athletes" may be reduced.

As this sense of strangeness and alienation decreases, more people may be willing to give track and field a try.

The production team of "Athletics Idol Training Camp" can be said to be 120% serious and dedicated, and the national team, the Athletics Management Center, the Sports Channel and other collaborative departments have also expressed great expectations for this program.

As of January 12, the program team has accumulated sufficient materials for the first episode. According to the program team's plan, some staff will return to carry out post-editing and other related work, while other staff will continue to follow up on the filming in the track and field team.

Shortly after the trailer was released, this variety show has officially been scheduled with the sports channel. The first episode will be premiered on January 20, followed by the second and third episodes on January 27 and February 3 respectively. At the same time, there will be a special Spring Festival live broadcast on February 5, the first day of the Lunar New Year, allowing the audience to watch an online track and field team "Spring Festival Showdown". The final winner will add the top points of the previous three episodes and finally receive a special reward.

On February 20, before the end of winter training, the top 5 athletes will receive a "Lantern Festival dinner" specially prepared by Su Bai - this reward is also the highest reward voted by everyone in the track and field team.

This series of trailers and the broadcast schedule of the variety show have been officially released. On the Internet, the audience who have been attracted by the trailers of this variety show for some time are also waiting for the broadcast of the first episode.

In the track and field team, including Zhang Ziyi, almost every member of the team called their parents and told their families - your son/daughter is going to be on TV!

The Sports Channel attached great importance to this brand new variety show. One week before the show was about to be broadcast, the Sports Channel used its own resources and exchanged resources with other channels to place the advertisement of "Growth" in important publicity positions in a series of official media, attracting countless extra attention.

In this highly anticipated atmosphere, at 8 pm on January 20, after the sports channel finished broadcasting the news and weather forecast, the variety show called "Track and Field Idol Training Camp" will finally make its official debut!

In front of the TV in many families, the men who originally did not compete with their family members for the TV also sat down in front of the TV quietly and turned on the sports channel. Many people who called themselves "tap water" also squatted in front of their own TV very seriously and turned the TV channel to the sports channel in front of their parents' somewhat surprised eyes.

As the time turned to 8 p.m., the national first track and field variety show "Track and Field Idol Training Camp" also caught the eyes of countless people.
