Ever since Cui Luoheng figured out his own feelings, there have been many more times when he has a blank expression on his face but is shrouded in low pressure.
For example, Wang Shen, who occasionally came to see Su Bai, would smile and get close to Su Bai, making it seem like they were having a very intimate conversation.
For example, when Qiu Wen rubbed against Su Bai and cried and shouted that he wanted to eat the Xiaoye made by Xiaobai.
However, facing these two people, Cui Luoheng couldn't say anything. It would be useless to say anything to the former, and he knew nothing about the latter.
There were two times when Wang Shen came to see Su Bai, and Qiu Wen also saw him and muttered to Cui Luoheng: "What's wrong with Lao Wang? Why has he been so close to Xiao Bai these days? He looks like he's in a state of panic."
…
Cui Luoheng looked up at Wang Shen expressionlessly, then looked at Qiu Wen, then frowned, took a deep breath, and continued to concentrate on training.
However, Cui Luoheng had just resumed training for two days when the World Athletics Relays were about to begin. This time, Su Bai did not let go, but instead served as the team coach, preparing to set off with the relay team.
The relay race started on May 11th, and the track and field team was scheduled to arrive in Yokohama, Japan on May 9th. So Cui Luoheng, who had just finished two days of retraining with Su Bai, packed his luggage and set off with the team.
On the day when all members of the relay team set off for Yokohama, Japan, Wang Shen happened to pass by Cui Luoheng while warming up in circles, and then patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"There is still a long way to go." Wang Shen smiled kindly.
Cui Luoheng: “…”
In China, the netizens were of course unaware that the "good brothers" from the track and field team, who had just returned from an expedition to Jamaica together, were having this kind of "friendly" exchange these past two days.
During this period of time, everyone has been watching the schedule and caring about the Olympic quota, and they are even more worried than the Athletics Administration Center.
The reason is simple, just like what the Athletics Administration Center is worried about. During this period of time, as the popularity of track and field events has skyrocketed, there have been more and more public accounts and analysts on the Internet taking advantage of the popularity to discuss related topics.
After analysis by various people, the World Athletics Relays, which netizens had not paid much attention to before, was directly pushed to the peak of popularity.
——[The final battle for Tokyo Olympic Games quota begins now! 】
——[Analyze the results of the relay events in previous World Relay Games and the World Athletics Championships, and predict how difficult it will be for the Chinese team to obtain a relay spot at the Tokyo Olympics. 】
——[The most unpredictable Olympic quota - men's and women's 4x400m, can they successfully qualify for the Olympics? 】
Almost two days after the Jamaica race ended, the popularity of this World Athletics Relay Championships soared again. It was a seamless transition.
Although the density of topics seems to be a bit high, track and field enthusiasts don't think there's anything wrong with the frequency. Nowadays, young people who surf the Internet have a strong sense of national honor. When it comes to these events that can bring glory to the country, they don't think the information density on the Internet is excessive - after all, you see, on Weibo hot searches, various entertainment circles are on the hot searches every day, and current affairs are also updated in real time. Even if track and field events are much more popular now than before, it is nothing in the bustling online world.
In short, after seeing the relevant news, netizens began to worry about the various news and the comparison of the results of the Chinese team with those of various world powers.
For example, when talking about the men's 4x400m relay race, just over half a month ago, everyone was still excited about the Chinese team winning the men's 4x400m gold medal in the Asian Championships!
You know, this is the second time that the Chinese track and field 4x400m relay team has broken the national record after the Asian Games. Before this relay team broke the national record, the Chinese men's 4x400m national record was 3 minutes 03.66 seconds!
See what it is now?
3 minutes 01 seconds 67!
This result improved by almost two full seconds!
Isn’t that awesome?
Asian Games silver medal, Asian Championships gold medal, this is the top star in Asia! But it’s so awesome!
However, looking at the various data released on the Internet, just looking at the data from the 2017 World Athletics Championships final, the top three all ran under the 3-minute mark, and the top eight who entered the final all had final results of around 3 minutes and 1 second. Among them, the French team, which came last in the final, had a final result of 3 minutes 01.79 seconds, while Poland, which came second to last, had a time of 3 minutes 01.59 seconds.
…
_(:3)∠)_
After seeing this result, the spectators, who had originally been happy to think that the Chinese team would have no problem getting into the top 8 and qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Of course, some people have raised questions - wait, these are the results of the final, the results in the preliminaries can't be so outrageous, right?
So, a data expert immediately dug out the final qualifying results of that World Championships preliminaries.
In the preliminaries, teams from three countries also ran under the three-minute mark. Among them, the team with the worst result advanced with a time of 3 minutes 01.88 seconds.
…
…………
………………
?
The originally confident spectators, as well as the new fans of track and field who didn't know much about the data before, were almost disappointed after seeing this result.
The worst result in the preliminaries was 3 minutes 01.88 seconds?
The Chinese team's time of 3 minutes 01.67 was a national record that they finally broke!
And anyone who has watched the previous Asian Championships 4x400m final knows that Zhang Ziyi completely gave his all in that final. According to subsequent data analysis, Zhang Ziyi's performance and condition in the first leg of that relay race was better than his individual 400m final.
After him, whether it was Qiu Wen, Guo Dun or Li Junhao, they all gave their all and put in their best efforts to achieve such a result.
Even if the audience did not contribute much and were simply watching the race in front of the TV or computer, they would not dare to say "try for another 3 minutes 01.67 seconds" easily.
Seeing that the men's 4x400m event, which just won the gold medal in the Asian Championships, was so dangerous, and then looking at the women's team and the mixed men's and women's teams in the 4x100m, 4x200m, and 4x400m... it was even more suspenseful.
Also because of the current popularity of track and field events, when the Chinese team set out for the World Athletics Relay Championships, the national team met a group of reporters who came to interview them at the airport.
These reporters have already imprinted the images of all the players and coaches of the track and field team's sprint events in their minds. Originally, seeing Pei Jinan leading the team, as well as Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi and other famous players, they all planned to interview these people first. However, when Qiu Wen got off the bus, a reporter shouted with sharp eyes: "Look! Isn't that Su Bai!!!"
Wow!
Su Bai?
Everyone looked in the direction the reporter pointed: Huh! Isn’t that fair and clean figure Su Bai? At his age and with his appearance, he is unique in the track and field team and is very easy to recognize.
Besides, which of these reporters dares not to remember Su Bai's appearance?
Immediately, everyone changed direction and prepared to focus their interview efforts on Su Bai - they all still remembered Su Bai's prophetic interview and question-and-answer session, and had always wanted Su Bai to reproduce his original style, but Su Bai came out too rarely. He was usually either training or making various teaching preparations. If they really wanted to interview Su Bai, they could only prepare the interview outline and interview topic, and then go to the Athletics Management Center and the national team to apply.
Of course, it’s not that they are unwilling to make an effort, but they are not a professional sports channel or sports column. There is no problem for them to follow up on hot topics like this airport interview, but if they are asked to do a sports special, the station will not allow it!
Therefore, it was not an easy thing for everyone to see Su Bai joining the team this time.
Soon, after Su Bai and others entered the airport, these reporters stopped the track and field team, with expressions of joy on their faces as if they had found a treasure.
"Hello, Coach Pei. Can you tell us about the national team's goal for the World Athletics Relays?"
"Hello, Coach Su. Currently, many netizens have compared the results of the national team's 4x400m events with the relay finals of previous World Athletics Championships and World Athletics Championships. It can be seen that our team may not have an advantage. If we want to enter the finals in this relay competition and qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, it may not be that easy. What do you think of this argument of netizens?"
"Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and other athletes are all famous athletes in their respective events. This time, in order to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic relay, each athlete gave up some of their individual events. Is this a loss? Will it affect their efforts to qualify for the World Championships and Tokyo Olympics in their respective events?"
A series of questions were thrown in front of the national team members, but fortunately these reporters all abided by the rules. They each had their own tacit understanding of asking questions. Although it seemed a bit messy at first glance, everyone was still able to answer these questions in an orderly manner.
"This time, of course, we must first strive to win the qualification for all events in the World Championships..." Pei Jinan smiled and brought up the topic of qualification for the World Track and Field Championships, and then mentioned the Tokyo Olympics: "We are naturally striving for the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics. The national team expects the athletes to run with style and go all out. I believe that every one of our athletes will definitely not want to give up the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics!"
Pei Jinan smiled and talked around with the reporters, but he didn't say what the national team's goal was.
After Pei Jinan and his teammates answered a round of questions, the interview microphone was finally handed to Su Bai. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Su Bai was silent for a moment, and finally stated his pre-match goal calmly and directly: "In the 4x400m event, we will go all out to maintain the second place and strive for the third place."
