After winter training, in the first game of the 2019 season, Zhang Ziyi did not disappoint anyone!
Relying on his now solid and stable strength, as well as his persistence and determination in the competition, he successfully surpassed the American player who had crushed the Chinese team half a year ago in this track and field indoor tour in Torun, Poland!
It was not until he crossed the finish line that Zhang Ziyi finally came to his senses. He turned to look to his right with some surprise. The American player Iverson was looking back at him with some disbelief.
How is this possible?
Iverson's eyes were filled with disbelief. He exaggeratedly held his head with both hands, then opened his hands. His wide eyes and shaking head showed his doubt about all this.
That's a Chinese player!
After Iverson crossed the finish line, the Slovenian runner on track 2 also crossed the finish line. He looked at Zhang Ziyi in front of him in amazement and was also amazed at Zhang Ziyi's speed and results.
In fact, even Zhang Ziyi's face was full of amazement. After he saw that he was indeed ahead of Iverson, his expression looked like he was crying and laughing. After a moment, it turned into a bright smile of pure happiness.
He shook his head, and ran his hand through his hair, and as he stood there, he had an unmistakable smile on his face.
He won...he really won!
Although this is an indoor competition, and although Iverson's condition has not returned to his best after winter training or rest, his victory is unquestionable!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but clench his fists and let out a long sigh of relief.
In front of domestic televisions, the new fans who have joined in the past month are of course very happy. Regardless of whether they know about the term "revenge battle" on the Internet or not, the audience feels very satisfied when they see Zhang Ziyi beat a black American player, even if they are not clear about the significance of this achievement for the time being.
After all, after being influenced by previous variety show content, most viewers still have some understanding of the level of the domestic 400-meter sprint event.
In their opinion, although Zhang Ziyi did not get first place today, he defeated a player from the American team, so getting second place is great!
And the new audience on the Internet who know the "Revenge War" meme are in an even happier mood!
After all, when they were watching the popular science just now, they had just felt unwilling to accept the result of the game half a year ago, and this unwillingness only lasted for a short time, and was immediately won back by Zhang Ziyi in this game.
This kind of plot of "Don't look down on the young and poor" was considered extremely vulgar by the audience themselves, but now that they saw Zhang Ziyi stage such a counterattack victory, everyone was so excited that they didn't care whether it was vulgar or not.
Of course it's all about having fun!
Among all the people, the ones who were most excited and incredulous were the old fans of track and field!
These long-time track and field enthusiasts have a clear understanding of the unpredictable dynamics of the track and field arena, the past performance of Chinese athletes, and even Zhang Ziyi's past strength.
Of course they knew that Zhang Ziyi's strength had improved, and he had become more motivated and stable. But after actually seeing Zhang Ziyi beat the American player on the field, they were so excited now as they had not dared to expect before the game!
This is not only out of excitement about Zhang Ziyi's improved strength, but also out of excitement about Zhang Ziyi's change in mentality.
perhaps……
Not only Zhang Ziyi, but also the top athletes of the Chinese track and field team!
Perhaps, after training and growing under Su Bai for a period of time, they have developed a completely different mentality towards those European and American players who once frightened them!
This is an enterprising spirit that dares to compete with European and American players and dares to fight for victory with them!
This is something that Chinese track and field team athletes in the past could not even imagine or have experienced.
In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also smiling.
"This previous winter training cycle was the one that received the most attention for our national track and field team. During this cycle, I believe that many viewers across the country, like us, were paying attention to the growth and transformation of our national track and field team."
"Yes." Li Sen continued, "The track and field event has become a hot topic in the past month. I believe everyone has been looking forward to the first game after winter training. In today's game, the captain of the men's 400-meter sprint event of our track and field team can be said to have given us a good start!"
"Zhang Ziyi's condition and results today are indeed excellent..." Shao Minyi was about to say a few more words, but when he looked up, he saw that the on-site results had already been announced.
After seeing Zhang Ziyi's results, Shao Minyi and Li Sen's pupils shrank again.
"IAAF Indoor Track and Field Tour Poland Torun Station, Men's 400m First Group, First Place: Tumudi (Kenya), 45.61 seconds, Second Place: Zhang Ziyi (China) 45.89 seconds (NR), Third Place: Iverson (USA) 45.93 seconds..."
No matter what result Tumudi, who was in first place, achieved, or the gap between Zhang Ziyi and Iverson, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were now looking at Zhang Ziyi's result and the number of people behind him in the same row, and they were both equally excited.
After introducing all the athletes' results, Shao Minyi looked at Zhang Ziyi's result and could no longer suppress a smile on his face: "Chinese athlete Zhang Ziyi not only defeated the American athlete in the same group in today's indoor tour, but also broke the national indoor 400-meter sprint record that had been frozen since 2007 with a score of 45.89 seconds! And this result also successfully improved the 2007 national indoor record of 46.08 seconds by 0.19 seconds! "
"Let us congratulate Zhang Ziyi and Chinese track and field! Zhang Ziyi has also successfully become the new record holder for both the indoor and outdoor national records in the 400-meter sprint with today's performance!"
Most of the viewers in front of the TV were originally just simply happy. They were just thinking about Zhang Ziyi's sprinting results and thought that Zhang Ziyi's performance today was quite good, when suddenly they received such an unexpected surprise!
Just now, they never thought that Zhang Ziyi could bring such a breakthrough in performance in the first competition of the year!
Zheng Xiaoya and her parents were watching TV and they didn't expect that they would receive such great news the first time they watched Zhang Ziyi's official game!
On the Internet, everyone was originally simply celebrating that Zhang Ziyi had finally defeated the American player who had once crushed him, and were happy for his achievement and growth.
And the next second, when Shao Minyi announced that Zhang Ziyi became the holder of the national 400-meter records both indoors and outdoors, both the onlookers and the new fans who had become fans of the track and field team members because of variety shows during this period went crazy in the blink of an eye.
All kinds of screaming and excited posts flooded the anonymous areas, the track and field kingdom, or Weibo. In just a short period of time, the topic #Zhang Ziyi refreshes the national 400m indoor record# was once again pushed to the top of the hot search list.
In just one night, during the time before and after Zhang Ziyi's competition, two topics related to his competition and track and field appeared on the hot search list, which made people sigh that the members of the track and field team are really famous now, and the attention paid to Chinese track and field has also really increased.
The new fans are excited, and of course the same goes for the old fans of track and field. What could make these track and field enthusiasts happier than seeing a national record that has been dormant for years being broken?
In just a few months, the indoor and outdoor records for the 400-meter sprint, which had been untouched for more than a decade, were broken one after another. Needless to say, everyone can understand the meaning of this.
The 400-meter sprint event is really popular now!
Zhang Ziyi's strength has improved so much, what about other athletes in the 400m event?
These track and field enthusiasts became even more excited when they thought about the indoor tournament that would take place in Madrid, Spain in two days.
As long as Qiu Wen and Li Junhao can also achieve good results in the indoor competition in Madrid, Spain two days later, the overall improvement of the national track and field team's 400m event will be assured!
In the competition held in Torun, Poland that day, the 400-meter event was divided into two groups. The final ranking of the players was determined by the results of the two groups. There was no second round of finals.
Zhang Ziyi won a bronze medal in the men's 400m race that day with a time of 45.89 seconds, while Iverson ranked fourth after him.
After the game, Iverson looked at Zhang Ziyi and finally remembered this player from the Chinese team. He had indeed met him before, and last year, he had easily defeated this player from the Chinese team.
"...Your strength is improving very quickly." Iverson looked at Zhang Ziyi, then frowned and said, "But indoor competitions are not my strong point. Outdoors, you still won't be my opponent!"
After defeating Iverson, looking at Iverson again at this time, the unwillingness mixed with inferiority before the game had gradually faded away, but Zhang Ziyi understood that what Iverson said was indeed true. Iverson was a player who could often run under 44 seconds. Compared with him, his PB of 45.24 seconds was far from enough to be proud of.
However, Zhang Ziyi was not angry about Iverson's provocation. He just smiled and looked at Iverson: "I am not as good as you now, but I will continue to improve. See you on the outdoor court!"
Iverson looked at Zhang Ziyi's smiling face. He still looked a little unhappy, but he still raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to Zhang Ziyi: "Iverson."
Zhang Ziyi also smiled and held Iverson's hand: "Zhang Ziyi."
Iverson frowned and looked at Zhang Ziyi, then nodded and said, "I will remember your name, Zhang."
From not noticing Zhang Ziyi's existence before the game to meeting him again after the game.
Zhang Ziyi looked at Iverson with a smile, and then looked at the foreign players around him who also greeted him with a smile. He knew deeply in his heart that in this world arena, if he wanted to be recognized by these foreign players around him, he could only rely on his strength.
Only if he possesses sufficient strength can he make these opponents, who once looked down upon him, willing to look him in the eye.
In the competition that day, it was not only Zhang Ziyi who performed well. Although Fang Yu and Wu Yi were sprinters of 100m and 200m respectively, the indoor championship did not have 100m and 200m events, and the athletes of these two events would also participate in the 60m sprint competition.
Fang Yu won the silver medal with a score of 6.49 in this competition. In the men's high jump event, Wang Shen once again successfully jumped over the 2.32-meter bar, tying the national indoor record for high jump with this result.
On the women's team, Chen Yada also ran a good result of 52.30 seconds. Although she failed to break the 400-meter women's indoor record of 52.27 seconds, she was only 0.03 seconds away from this result.
The series of good results not only made the commentators Shao Minyi and Li Sen continuously report the good news, but also made the audience sitting in front of the TV stunned.
On the Internet, the previous related topics about Zhang Ziyi are still there, and the topic #Chinese track and field team achieves great results in Torun, Poland# has been pushed to the top of the topic list.
Such a frequent frequency of topic refreshes surprised some passers-by who had not paid attention to variety shows before.
[Are our domestic track and field results so good? Why do I see the topic being constantly refreshed tonight? 】
【_(:3)∠】_After checking, I found that some of the results were not just this good this time. They seemed to be good in the past. However, even if the track and field results were good in the past, they would not be able to attract such attention...】
[That’s right, no wonder everyone wants to be popular. It’s different when you are popular. 】
Field Management Center Office
Because tonight's indoor circuit competition is the first game that the track and field team members will appear in after winter training, the Athletics Administration Center is also paying close attention to it. Not only does it want to get real-time feedback on the ratings of sports channels, but it also plans to monitor online public opinion information in real time to prevent any emergencies that are difficult to control.
Because of this, Wang Zhengsheng, Liao Jie and other directors and deputy directors of the Track and Field Management Center were all in the conference room watching the TV broadcast together. Of course, they also saw the good results of the track and field team members.
Not only the players coached by Su Bai, but also the athletes in events like long jump and shot put, which are China's traditional indoor advantages, performed very well. The number of medals they won in this indoor tour was several more than originally expected!
As for the sports channel, they kept in touch with Liao Jie during the live broadcast, and told Liao Jie about the high ratings since the start of the game.
Although the ratings of today's game are definitely not comparable to those of previous variety shows, if compared with previous regular track and field events, the ratings have increased by a hundred times!
“Okay, okay!”
After Wang Zhengsheng learned the news, he couldn't stop smiling. One of the tasks of their Athletics Management Center is to promote track and field events among the entire population, so that ordinary people across the country can have a basic understanding of track and field and have a love for track and field events. This is one of their jobs.
Only when the mass base of track and field events is firmly established and deepened, will there be opportunities for more and more talents to join the track and field events in the future, and the track and field events will be able to develop and grow healthily and vigorously.
The development and progress in track and field events this year is what they hoped to see, and it is also what they have found difficult to achieve in many years.
Looking at the data sent to Liao Jie by the staff of the sports channel, Wang Zhengsheng said with emotion: "Old Liao, this is not the ratings data... This is the hope for the future of our project!"
Not only Liao Jie, but Jiang Wentao, who was standing beside him, also had an expression of indescribable emotion on his face.
"It's all good news, all good news! The performance of guys like Zhang Ziyi has improved very quickly, and they have a good grasp of their own conditions. If the other guys in the 400-meter event can also have this momentum, maybe we can really achieve a new achievement of having all the members participate in the 400-meter sprint this year!"
Wang Zhengsheng, who was standing next to him, was smiling as he listened to Jiang Wentao's words. After listening to Jiang Wentao's words, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "All members of the 400-meter sprint?"
Wang Zhengsheng could hear that Jiang Wentao did not say whether the 400-meter event would be a men's team or a women's team.
Jiang Wentao smiled and said, "Isn't it? It's all the 400m team members. I secretly asked Su Bai a few days ago to find out if he is confident that all the men's 400m team members will meet the World Championships performance standards after the winter training."
"Then what?" Wang Zhengsheng asked.
They all knew that Su Bai had made a boast at the coach's mobilization meeting, saying that all members of the men's team in the 400-meter event would meet the standards.
Of course, Zhang Ziyi has already met the academic requirements, but there are still two places left!
They had all seen the competition plan that Su Bai had arranged for the athletes, and they all knew that according to Su Bai's competition plan, the other two athletes he had chosen who had qualified for the 400m World Championships should be Qiu Wen and Li Junhao.
There is no problem with Qiu Wen. His personal best is now 45.40 seconds. After this entire winter training cycle, he is not far from 45.30 seconds.
But Li Junhao...
In the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Li Junhao's individual results in the 400m were not very good, especially in the 2018 outdoor season, when Li Junhao's result of more than 47 seconds broke many people's hearts.
Because his individual performance was so poor, he didn't even qualify for last year's National Grand Prix Finals. If it weren't for Su Bai's coaching, which enabled him to give a brilliant performance in the 4*400m relay, Li Junhao would have been labeled as "Zhongyong's son".
However, although Li Junhao performed well in the 4*400m relay, that was just a relay. In terms of individual events, he only appeared once in the Asian Track and Field Six Nations Joint Competition around New Year's Day...
Although there are no actual results, there are quite a few people who are worried about Li Junhao.
Jiang Wentao smiled and said, "Xiao Bai told me not to worry. He said that he originally told the men's team that all members of the 400-meter race must meet the standard in order to put some pressure on the men's team. In addition, the girls on the women's team are very competitive. If the men's team wants all members to meet the standard, the women's team will not admit defeat if they think the men's team can do it."
At this point, Jiang Wentao's smile deepened: "Su Bai is a dark guy, but he is indeed capable. He said that if nothing unexpected happens, both the men's and women's teams will have no problem meeting the World Championships standards."
Since Su Bai dared to make such a promise in front of Jiang Wentao, an official of the Field Management Center, Wang Zhengsheng and others understood that he really had confidence.
Looking at the performance of the national team at the indoor tournament tonight, and thinking about Su Bai's promise, Wang Zhengsheng's heart was even more excited: "Okay, we have seen the efforts and achievements of the coaches and players of the national team. I will say it again, our event planning this year, the quotas for various international competitions, and the process arrangements for various athletes to compete abroad must not be wrong!"
"The players and coaches are working so hard, we can't hold them back, we must do all the logistical work in place."
"We have to be prepared for all the training sessions this year. This is all preparation for next year's Olympics!"
On this day, the lights at the Field Management Center stayed on until the early morning, and various celebrations on the Internet also continued into the early morning.
Many old fans of track and field events are saying that these new fans have come at a good time, and the spirit of the track and field team is now completely different from the past.
New fans are not quite aware of this, and although old fans are moved, they are also grateful that the event of track and field can now have such a vitality that is completely different from the past.
Two days later, at the indoor tour in Madrid, Spain, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao also won the second and fourth place in the 400m event of the tour with a time of 45.91 and 46.07 respectively.
This time, the results of Qiu Wen and Li Junhao not only showed Li Junhao's condition in individual competitions, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief for him, but they both also achieved good results that were good enough to break the national indoor 400-meter sprint record in 2007. This outstanding condition made the fans and track and field enthusiasts who had been paying attention to them for a long time during the winter training breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
At this point, the only person who still made people a little worried was Cui Luoheng.
Logically speaking, Cui Luoheng not only won the 110-meter hurdles championship at the Asian Games last year, but his performance has been very stable since then, so there is nothing to worry about.
But during the winter training, everyone saw Cui Luoheng's extra performance in the variety show.
Apart from that one-man extra, the program crew did not expose any video content related to Cui Luoheng. We could only see from Cui Luoheng's occasional Weibo posts that he was still making the eight-to-seven training adjustment... As for whether his eight-to-seven adjustment was a success or a failure, and whether this adjustment could bring him improvements in his performance, all of this is still unknown.
In the two indoor tournaments on February 16 and 18, Su Bai did not send Cui Luoheng to compete.
This makes the audience feel extremely worried about Cui Luoheng.
Before the audience could wait for Su Bai's latest competition arrangement for Cui Luoheng, the Tokyo Olympic Committee released the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games participation standards.
As soon as this standard came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
