When the Olympic trials entered the last few events of the third day, a new athlete finally won the qualification for the Olympics!
It was after Ye Wenhao obtained the qualification to participate in the competition that the audience’s emotions, which had been depressed for three days, finally broke out completely at this moment.
On the field, although the game was not over yet, both the audience and the staff on site were smiling and applauding in Ye Wenhao's direction.
In the men's high jump event of the Chinese team, the number of athletes who qualified for the Olympics finally changed from only Wang Shen to Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao participating together.
In the next competition, neither Wang Shen nor Ye Wenhao had any pressure. After Ye Wenhao successfully jumped over 2.33 meters, Wang Shen chose to give up. After Ye Wenhao successfully jumped over 2.33 meters, he finally challenged the height of 2.35 meters. Although he failed three times, he still won the championship of the men's high jump event in this selection with a score of 2.33 meters.
Ye Wenhao won the championship and Wang Shen won the silver medal. This is a scene that domestic audiences have not seen for more than a year.
After the game ended and Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen left the field, Ye Wenhao said thank you to Wang Shen very seriously.
Wang Shen turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "What are you thanking me for? Um, do you think I gave you the advantage in today's competition, so you should thank me?" Wang Shen smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Oh, am I really too strong? So strong that you think it's abnormal that I didn't jump over 2.33 meters?"
Ye Wenhao, who had just said thank you, saw Wang Shen saying this and bared his teeth and showed a hearty smile: "Hey, that's not what I meant. I just want to thank you for accompanying me to the end. If I were alone, I might not have such motivation and condition to pass the 2.33 meter level."
Wang Shen spread his hands and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I think too much?"
"No, no, I also thank you for giving me a break during the competition! Lord Wang's encouraging gesture at the end gave me confidence, and it was thanks to your luck that I successfully jumped over!" Ye Wenhao scratched his head with a smile, then put one hand on Wang Shen's shoulder, and the two of them went towards the locker room together.
On the Internet, after everyone got excited, some people were discussing whether Wang Shen had just let Ye Wenhao win. These people were having a great time chatting with each other, but no one could convince anyone else.
People who agree with the theory of letting Ye Wenhao go say that Wang Shen jumped easily at 2.31 meters, and he did not try many times today, so it was obviously not his limit. He should not be unable to jump over 2.33 meters. It must be to encourage Ye Wenhao, so he let him go and did not compete with him.
Those who oppose it say that Wang Shen is not able to clear the bar 100% every time at 2.33 meters. Even if his nickname is Constant Intelligent AI, that doesn't mean he is really AI, right? Isn't it normal to make mistakes? At most, Wang Shen gave up the subsequent games, which shows that today's game is not important to him.
In short, people holding the two views had a long "harmonious discussion". Finally, some genius came to Su Bai's Weibo and asked him whether Wang Shen had let the game go.
In fact, this kind of thing of seeking comments from national team coaches is not uncommon among track and field enthusiasts. National team coaches like Su Bai often receive various private messages.
For example, there are some who claim that they are rare track and field geniuses in a thousand years. They had never trained before the age of 25. At the age of 25, they participated in the company's sports meeting for the first time and ran the 100 meters in 9.80 seconds, beating Zhao Shu in seconds and humiliating Fang Yu. They demanded that Su Bai must let them enter the national team. He wanted to participate in the Tokyo Olympics immediately. He was the first Chinese genius to break the world 100-meter record!
Of course, if you just check, you will usually find out that the company's competition must use manual timing, and the referee may have pressed the clock late when the athlete started, and pressed the clock early before the athlete arrived.
_(:3)∠)_
Su Bai usually sees a lot of private messages and comments like this. After returning to the designated hotel after the selection competition, he rarely used his mobile phone to check his Weibo and saw someone asking about Wang Shen.
This debate is much more interesting than that 9.80-second thing. He had some free time at the moment, so he answered netizens' questions, which was extremely rare.
——[In this competition, Wang Shen was in good shape, but it was definitely not his best. The result of 2.31 meters was considered normal for Wang Shen. I believe many friends also know that the normal level of performance can be maintained at a height of around 2.30 meters, which is already an amazing level. So in fact, it cannot be said that Wang Shen let Ye Wenhao win. At most, it can only be said that Wang Shen did not try his best to perform at his best in this game.
However, we must also be aware that it is not possible for athletes to perform at their best 100% in every game. Continuous high-intensity and high-level performance is also a drain on the athlete's mental and physical fitness. We still advocate a balance between relaxation and tension. Athletes should be able to use the game to stimulate themselves, but they should not be kidnapped by the game. They should give their best in every competition regardless of the occasion. 】
Finally, Su Bai typed: [I think there is nothing wrong with Wang Shen’s performance today, including between him and Ye Wenhao. Both of them are excellent players who respect their opponents. 】
The track and field fan who sent a private message to Su Bai never expected to receive a reply from Su Bai. After being so surprised that his head was dizzy, he immediately took a screenshot of the conversation and posted it on his Weibo and the Track and Field Kingdom forum.
The netizens who were discussing the matter stopped talking immediately - since Su Bai was such an authority, they should keep quiet. Besides, Su Bai had explained it so clearly. They enjoyed watching the game today, the athletes were in good shape, and Ye Wenhao even qualified for the Olympics...
After all this series, is there anything else they need to talk about?
Of course not!
On June 23, the last day of the National Track and Field Grand Prix year-end finals and Olympic Track and Field Trials ended. During the three-day competition, each event had determined its Olympic candidates, but it was a bit regrettable that there was only one athlete who broke through himself and won the Olympic qualification in the competition - Ye Wenhao.
Not to mention Zhao Shu and Zhao Yankai, Li Junhao was also in very good shape in this competition, but although he has made obvious progress in the past two years, he is still a little distance away from running into the 45-second mark, let alone 44.90.
Li Junhao was unable to create a miracle during this period of time. His PB is still at 45.07 seconds, which is good enough but still a long way from his dream score.
In the following week, some athletes who were unwilling to give up rushed to Japan and other countries to participate in a series of track and field competitions across Asia, trying to seize any chance in the final time.
Su Bai once asked Li Junhao whether he should arrange the final stage of the competition for him. He frowned and finally chose to give up.
For Li Junhao himself, he clearly knew that the previous time of 45.07 seconds was probably his limit at the current stage. Instead of expecting a miracle in the last week, it would be better for him to return to the national team as soon as possible and start training for the 4x400m relay.
Even though he failed to qualify for an individual event, he is still the irreplaceable last runner of the men's 4x400m sprint relay team. He will travel to Tokyo, Japan with the relay team, and then in the Tokyo arena, as a member of the relay team, he will give all his strength to his team!
Finally, it was July 1st.
When all the athletes returned to the national team for the final 15 days of closed training and courses before the Olympics, the qualifying performance assessment period for track and field events had ended on the last day of June.
The athletes of the national team have not had large-scale training during this period. The current training is mainly to maintain a certain state of exercise and keep the athletes' bodies stably stimulated.
In addition to this kind of training which does not put too much pressure on the athletes, the athletes also have to undergo a series of etiquette training, such as emergency and intensive English oral teaching, so that they can barely cope with a few sentences when interviewed by foreign journalists and will not be at a loss when the on-site translation is unreliable. You know, there have been cases in the past where athletes from country C interviewed athletes from country A, but there were problems with the translation, and the questions and answers from both sides were completely irrelevant. The final interview and report results were very... funny.
In addition, there are various urgent diplomatic etiquette teachings, and we don't expect these athletes to be able to master them in such a standard way. At least they can just follow the instructions and get the form down to the ground.
In addition to these, there are some athletes who voluntarily sign up or are selected into the Olympic team. They have to go through more trouble and need to cooperate with some team training in advance.
At this stage, Su Bai was able to relax a lot at work. After all, he had already trained almost everything he needed to train. As for the event of track and field, it was impossible for him to cram and study it until now.
He will also travel with the team in this Olympics, so it can be considered a publicly funded trip (?). Of course, Su Bai's actual job is to go abroad as one of the mainstays of the track and field team. After all, all the members of the national track and field team know that Su Bai alone can replace the coach of several events. Anyway, if there is any emergency abroad and a coach is not there, even if Su Bai is asked to explain the strategy on the field and the running structure of the entire competition, there should be no problem.
For all the spectators who will participate in the Olympics or are looking forward to seeing the start of the Olympics, time passes both slowly and quickly.
Many track and field fans still remember that at the beginning of last year, when the track and field qualifying standards for the Tokyo Olympics were released, they were called the most stringent standards in history. At that time, some sports media said that no one in the women's sprint event might be able to meet the standards.
In fact, up to now, in the women's team, not only has Chen Yada successfully made it into the Olympic list in the 400-meter sprint, but she has also unexpectedly won two seats in the women's 100-meter sprint.
In the 400-meter sprint event, not only did Chen Yada, but Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen also met the requirements, which also inspired countless track and field enthusiasts.
Now, whether it is the spectators or the athletes... everyone is ready to welcome the Tokyo Olympics on July 23!
