After the morning's race, Qiu Wenxin's 'good friend' Jipuruto also reunited with his teammates.
Before parting, Qiu Wen enthusiastically made an agreement with Jipuruto in his fake English, asking Jipuruto to come to the Chinese team's cafeteria when he has time to try the delicious food made by Xiaobai.
Of course, although Qiu Wenhua said this, his plastic Chinese English was so hard to understand even for his good friend Wang Shen. The translator in the team also had a confused look on his face.
So someone quietly asked the team's translator:
"Xiao Lin, what did Erha say to that Jipuruto for all the chatter this morning?"
“…Actually, I didn’t quite understand.”
"...? Then was he able to communicate well with Jipuruto this morning? Could the foreign friend understand what Erha was saying?"
"Emm...it's hard to say. Maybe this is international telepathy?"
After Jipuruto met up with his teammates and left, his teammates curiously asked him what the "big devil" of the Chinese team had said to him in the morning.
Jipuruto hesitated for a moment, remembering the buzzing sound in his ears all morning, with a strange look of hesitation on his face.
His teammates were curious about Gippluto's reaction: "What's wrong? Did he say something terrible?"
Jipuruto had a complicated expression: "He seemed to... invite me to eat his coach together? ... Uh, maybe to share his coach? Well, it doesn't feel right... Maybe he has other intentions?"
…
…………
………………
ha?
At this moment, Gipruto's Kenyan teammates felt that their spirits and hearts were greatly shocked - he is worthy of being the Chinese rhythm destroyer, is he really so terrible?
The image of the Chinese track and field team seems to have suffered a strange impact under the influence of Qiu Wen's plastic English?
Of course, Qiu Wen had no idea what his fake English had been used for. He was feeling very proud of himself as he could now talk to international friends in English. But then he realized that he had forgotten to add Jipuruto’s contact information. But it didn’t matter. After all, they were both opponents in the 400-meter sprint. They would always have the opportunity to meet each other in the competition throughout the year. He could just ask for his contact information then.
Seeing Qiu Wen's happy look, Jiang Wentao, Pei Jinan and Su Bai all had faces that did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Su Bai squinted his eyes and glanced at Qiu Wen who was very happy. Then he turned around and smiled, "Coach Pei, Director Jiang, if there are any international interviews in the next two days, I personally suggest that you make sure to let Translator Lin follow Qiu Wen closely."
During the whole morning, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan, who had witnessed the power of Qiu Wen's Plastic English, looked at each other, smiled and nodded in agreement - how could they not agree? It would be fine if Qiu Wen talked to Jipuruto by himself, but if he felt that his English level was fine during the interview...
To put it in today's words: Doesn't the Chinese track and field team have any respect?
Qiu Wen did not notice that Xiaobai and the others were saying bad things about him. After seeing off his new good friend Jipuruto, he came to Su Bai with sparkling eyes.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I just made an appointment with Jipuru to come back for some delicious food!"
Qiu Wen's Sima Zhao's intentions are now completely known to everyone.
Su Bai patted his shoulder calmly, then smiled and said, "Well, if Jipuruto knew that he was going to come to you for a meal, I would cook for him."
Qiu Wen, who didn't hear the hidden meaning of Su Bai's words at all, gave himself a thumbs up happily in his heart after getting the answer. Then he waved to Su Bai, turned around happily and walked with Wang Shen - after all, Su Bai is basically walking with the coaches of the coaching team and Jiang Wentao and others, and the coaches always have things to talk about among themselves.
"Hey, this Xiao Qiu!"
Jiang Wentao pointed at Qiu Wen's back, not knowing what to do with Qiu Wen.
Pei Jinan smiled and said, "Ahem, I'll arrange a special etiquette training course for him after we return home!"
After the morning competition ended, the Chinese team returned to the China Building in the Olympic Village by bus. On the way back, the athletes who had competitions in the evening were also eating in the restaurant.
Jiang Wentao, Pei Jinan and others saw them, greeted everyone and briefly asked about their conditions.
In the evening competition, the most important one is Liu Jiaonan's hammer throw. She will prepare to win the gold medal tonight. Then there is the men's pole vault final. The athletes are also ready and will strive for a good result in the evening competition.
Of course Cui Luoheng was also sitting in the restaurant, but Jiang Wentao and others were reassured about his condition without him saying anything. This reassurance came partly from Cui Luoheng's achievements in recent years and his increasingly calm and strong competitive state this year, and partly from Jiang Wentao and others' trust in Su Bai.
Over the past two or three years, they have gradually become accustomed to trusting Su Bai's judgment. If Su Bai says there is no problem, then it is basically safe.
With such confidence, Jiang Wentao can be said to be in a very happy mood. There is no other reason. The great achievements made by Chinese track and field in track events in recent years and the popularity of track and field events have formed a wave trend.
In such an environment, how could Jiang Wentao not be happy?
Generally speaking, when players have games in the evening, according to Su Bai's habit, he will have a private chat with those players whose group situation is not ideal or whose opponents are stronger.
Cui Luoheng will participate in the competition tonight. Theoretically, Su Bai has reason to comfort Cui Luoheng alone. However, in the preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles, basically as long as Cui Luoheng can run a time within 13.70 seconds, there will be no problem in advancing to the semi-finals.
So, what does 13.70 seconds mean to Cui Luoheng now?
Normally, when Cui Luoheng participates in some less important competitions and lets off some steam, his results will not exceed 13.60 seconds.
Under such circumstances, Su Bai really couldn't think of any reason why he needed to meet with Cui Luoheng alone to express his condolences.
Therefore, Su Bai just had a brief chat with Cui Luoheng during lunch, encouraged him to do well in the preliminaries in the evening, and then skipped the step of "one-on-one interview".
However, although Su Bai had no reason, Cui Luoheng did.
After Su Bai had lunch and was about to return to his room for a nap, his door was unexpectedly knocked. When he opened the door, he saw Cui Luoheng, whom he had not seen for a long time, with a look of inexplicable grievance on his face.
"A Luo? What's wrong with you?" Su Bai looked at Cui Luoheng with some curiosity, but he quickly realized the reason why Cui Luoheng came to find him at this time.
It's probably just... unhappy.
Cui Luoheng looked at Su Bai. During this period of time, he had always behaved as if he was mature and steady enough. However, in the final analysis, he was still the emotionally immature young man who could not quite understand his own thoughts and just wanted to get close to Su Bai, so he used all kinds of stupid tricks such as "poor psychological quality".
Of course, he could also understand that Su Bai did not meet with him alone because he was very confident in him and believed that there would be no problem for his preliminary round in the evening.
If his relationship with Su Bai was just that of an ordinary coach and athlete, he certainly wouldn't think too much about it.
But he likes Su Bai.
He liked Su Bai, so he couldn't help but want some special treatment.
Cui Luoheng thought...he just needed a little bit.
So, Su Bai only saw Cui Luoheng in front of him, with an unconscious grievance on his face, and then looked at him and said to him...
"Xiaobai, I'm nervous..."
Su Bai then looked at Cui Luoheng and almost blurted out "You have poor psychological quality?" But Su Bai finally suppressed this sentence.
If he really said this now, it would really affect Cui Luoheng's state in the evening.
Looking at Cui Luoheng, who looked aggrieved and said that he was nervous, Su Bai sighed, but he still couldn't bear to push him out of the room. So, Su Bai raised his hand and rubbed Cui Luoheng's head, then pulled him in and closed the door.
During the afternoon, Su Bai and Cui Luoheng did not do anything else. Su Bai directly took out the Olympic 110-meter hurdlers' status prediction form that he had prepared earlier, and circled the opponents that Cui Luoheng would encounter in the group stage tonight, as well as the opponents that he should pay attention to if he met them in subsequent competitions.
In the quiet room, the afternoon sun poured into the room through the glass window. Su Bai and Cui Luoheng sat on the sofa, one talking slowly while the other listened quietly. Two hours passed peacefully like this.
When it was 2:30 in the afternoon, Su Bai put away the list and various analysis charts, and sent Cui Luoheng back to his room to rest for a while.
Cui Luoheng got two hours of alone time from Su Bai. He felt aggrieved in the beginning, then inexplicably nervous, and finally relieved. Now he armed himself with an icy face again, looking like an iron-faced and cool guy.
When he was about to be chased away by Su Bai, he suddenly turned to look at Su Bai before reaching the door and said to Su Bai in an extremely serious tone: "I will definitely win."
Then he opened Su Bai's door and left Su Bai's room.
In the room, Su Bai looked at Cui Luoheng who said goodbye to him in a firm tone. He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head. Then he went back to the living room window sill of his room, poured a glass of water, sat quietly by the window sill, letting the sunlight hit his face, and drank the water in the glass calmly.
At 7 pm on August 3, the Olympic evening events kicked off again.
Domestic track and field fans have been in a state of carnival these days. It is really the performance of the Chinese track and field team at the Tokyo Olympics that has made each of them feel extremely satisfied. In such a satisfied and happy atmosphere, the entire track and field circle is of course filled with joy and happiness.
On the Track and Field Kingdom forum, following the crazy explosion in the number of posts about Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi after yesterday's 400-meter sprint semi-finals, before tonight's game began, a large number of posts related to Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng also burst out.
[Logically, in tonight's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, Xiaolu and Xiaocui should both be able to advance to the semifinals smoothly, right? 】
[The previous 400-meter sprint was already full of surprises, so why don’t you guess, will the 110-meter hurdles be the next event to set off a new round of public opinion frenzy? 】
[I remember Xiao Cui said before that he wanted to go for the gold medal, so he must be a sure winner in tonight’s preliminaries, right? But I don’t know if he can achieve his goal of rushing for gold? 】
Among various discussions, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the post recalling the glory of China's 110-meter hurdles king era, and the decline of China's 110-meter hurdles performance in comparison with the post-hurdles king era, and then the post recalling Cui Luoheng's strong resurgence.
Topic: [I have been a track and field fan for 20 years. I have experienced the era of the hurdle king. Will a new king be born in this Tokyo Olympics? 】
Topic content: [In fact, this post of mine is a common topic in our forum. After all, a few years ago, before Xiao Cui came out of nowhere, there would be a long post recalling the achievements of the hurdle king in the forum every few months.
Speaking of titles, there are quite a few that left a deep impression on me, such as "The Only Yellow Man Who Defeated Black Players on a Straight Track", "Talking About the Light of Asia Back Then", "My View of the Hurdles King Era", etc...
To be honest, everyone was indeed reminiscing about the hurdles king back then, but wasn't it also because the domestic 110-meter hurdles results plummeted after the era of the hurdles king that everyone could only reminisce about the past with their memories of the hurdles king?
In the period before Cui Yongyuan emerged, we have always generally referred to it as the "post-Land King era". In this era, we have always been reminiscing about the Land King.
In fact, even now, we are still reminiscing about the King of the Fence, because our new 'King' has not really ascended his throne yet.
Speaking of which, I should be one of the first track and field fans to pay attention to Xiao Cui. At the beginning, Xiao Cui was still in the S Province Track and Field Team. When I paid attention to him, he was not even a formal member of the adult group. At that time, the most common thing people in our forum did was to go through the potential young 110-meter hurdlers in the country one by one to see who had the hope of becoming the new generation of hurdles king in the future.
I'm not bragging, it was Cui Luoheng who I set my eyes on back then.
But everyone knows that after Xiao Cui entered the adult group, it was not all smooth sailing. When he was in the S Province Track and Field Team, his head coach Zhou Wen was actually a very good coach. In order to help Xiao Cui adapt better to the adult group, Zhou Wen even asked him to postpone his participation in competitions for a year from the age of 19 to focus on training.
It’s a pity that Xiao Cui, who finally officially entered the adult group, was in unsatisfactory condition in the first few games.
I still remember that I posted a message in our forum at that time to express my disappointment.
At first, I really didn't expect that Xiao Cui would have such achievements now...
Without further ado, everyone has seen Cui Yongyuan's achievements in the past two years, with a PB of 13.06 seconds. Everyone should be very clear about the meaning behind this data.
Judging from the current data of various international 110-meter hurdles competitions around the world, as long as Cui Luoheng can maintain this state, he will definitely be able to compete for the 110-meter hurdles championship at this year's Tokyo Olympics.
I posted this just to reminisce about my days as the hurdle champion, and then, I hope that in the next Olympic Games, Xiao Cui can perform well...
Let me just say one thing here - Cui Luoheng, we look forward to you truly ascending the throne and becoming the new king! ! 】
In the forum of Track and Field Kingdom, there are really many track and field fans who have been there for more than ten or twenty years. After seeing this post, many of them felt very emotional.
There is no other reason. The era of the hurdle king left too deep an impression on the domestic track and field fans. At that time, the Chinese men's 100-meter sprint had not yet broken the shackles of ten seconds for the 100 meters. At that time, there was no such a series of geniuses as Wu Yi, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and so on in the 200-meter and 400-meter sprints.
It can be said that before the birth of the hurdle king, China's track and field events were dim in terms of public awareness. Until one day, countless Chinese audiences suddenly heard the report - there were actually athletes in China who could beat black people on a straight track?
Oh, not only did he beat black people, he even won the amazing Olympic championship.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the track and field fans at that time as crazy.
That was the most glorious moment of track and field events in the country. Countless eyes were attracted to the stadium, and countless spectators and fans followed the footsteps of the heroes.
He was a talented player that amazed not only China, but the whole world.
To this day, he is still a talented player that countless ordinary people in the country can remember. In the hearts of ordinary people, his status is no less than that of Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi, and Qiu Wen today.
Especially in the Track and Field Kingdom, a forum where track and field fans gather, it is synonymous with a myth. After the myth ended, the world has been dim for so many years...
Track and field fans have finally waited for someone who may be able to inherit the legend!
Cui Luoheng...
Can he really do it?
Can he really win the 110m hurdles championship in this year's Tokyo Olympics?
Countless people are eagerly waiting for a new miracle to be born, waiting for a new king to ascend his throne - of course, before the final battle for the throne, Cui Luoheng needs to first overcome the small threshold of tonight's preliminaries.
At 7:10 p.m., the 110-meter hurdles preliminaries were scheduled to start as the first race of the evening.
At home, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were commentating on today's Olympic evening game as usual.
"Then, the 110-meter hurdles preliminaries are about to begin tonight. In this match, our Chinese athletes Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng will compete in the second and fifth preliminaries groups respectively. The match currently being held is the first preliminaries group event. We can see that 110-meter hurdles stars like Kostaman are in relatively restrained form. Obviously, the preliminaries are not a big problem for them. They are mainly seeking stability in tonight's match."
Just as Shao Minyi said, in the first group of the 110-meter hurdles preliminaries just now, athletes like Bahrain's star Kostaman ran more restrained in the preliminaries, as can be seen from the time it took them to react to the gun.
They will not run too hard in the preliminaries, mainly to avoid wasting their personal energy, and also do not want to run too hard and lose control, which may lead to possible situations such as false starts or injuries.
After the final results of the first group of preliminaries came out, Shao Minyi’s statement was confirmed - Kostaman, who ranked first in the group, was only 13.36 seconds, and the fourth place player was only 13.70 seconds.
But it doesn’t matter. In this 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, as long as you are in the top 4 in the group, you will advance directly. There are a total of 24 direct qualifying spots in the 6 groups, and there are no substitute qualifying spots.
However, as long as you can run within 13.70 seconds, you have a chance to advance. This result is not a big problem for most athletes.
After the first group of competitions ended, Lu Mengfan also appeared in the second group of competitions.
Lu Mengfan's current strength is already quite good. Usually, his results can be stabilized within 13.70 seconds, so this preliminary round is not a particularly big problem for Lu Mengfan.
Shao Minyi and Li Sen also noticed Lu Mengfan's relaxed attitude, so they smiled and said, "Xiao Lu is already on the field. Judging from the look on Xiao Lu's face that the camera just scanned, he is still very relaxed. It seems that in today's competition, our two 110-meter hurdlers have every hope of advancing to the semifinals?"
This is definitely good news for the Chinese team. After all, although the Chinese track and field team once won the Olympic championship in the 110-meter hurdles event because of the existence of the hurdles king, the hurdles king also fought alone back then. This time, if Lu Mengfan can advance to the semi-finals together with Cui Luoheng, then this will also be the first breakthrough for the Chinese track and field team!
Lu Mengfan did not disappoint!
Under everyone's attention, Lu Mengfan won the third place in the group with a score of 13.46 in the second group of the preliminaries, and successfully qualified for the semi-finals.
In the next two groups of competitions, the performance gap between the players in each group was not much.
Finally, after the first four groups of competition, Cui Luoheng also appeared in the fifth group of the preliminaries. His competitors included famous players such as McReady from Jamaica and McVries from Cyprus. However, Cui Luoheng looked calm and fearless standing on the field.
Indeed, if you observe carefully, you can see that on the field, it is not that Cui Luoheng needs to be wary of these players, but these players are wary of Cui Luoheng.
Since this season, Cui Luoheng's condition has become more stable and stronger. His offensive desire is written all over his face, making his opponents often feel threatened.
After the starting gun sounded, these players once again confirmed their judgment - Cui Luoheng from China is simply a crazy offensive machine on the field.
Even though this was just a preliminary match, he seemed to be full of desire to attack.
But these players still knew in their hearts that because it was the preliminaries, Cui Luoheng's attack was still a little restrained...
only……
With more restraint, he also ran a time of 13.16 seconds, ranking first in the preliminaries so far.
This terrible madman!
