When Qiu Wen's result came out, the originally excited audience was in a daze for a moment before they came to their senses again. Among these audiences, there were those who were simply excited about the result and Qiu Wen's medal, there were also those who had mixed emotions when they thought of Zhang Ziyi who was eliminated in the semi-finals, and there was also some old audience like Huang Yiluan who had been following this project for many years.
The moment these veteran track and field fans saw Qiu Wen confirmed to win a medal, they all instinctively cheered with excitement. However, after clearly seeing Qiu Wen's final result, they suddenly began to panic.
Is this true?
Is Qiu Wen’s achievement real?
Just looking at the number 44.49 seconds, some veteran track and field fans felt as if they were in a castle in the air. They were just worried that they were dreaming and that this castle in the air would collapse once they woke up.
From 2018 to now, in just three short years, domestic track and field fans seem to have boarded a high-speed racing car, witnessing the leapfrog progress of China's track and field 400-meter sprint event at a fast pace.
Once upon a time, the national record of 45.25 seconds was still a thorn in the side of Chinese track and field fans. They waited for more than ten years before Zhang Ziyi finally broke the record.
From then on, China's 400-meter sprint record was no longer the insurmountable mountain it used to be. It seemed to have become an ordinary small dirt slope, and Zhang Ziyi could be seen crossing it easily step by step.
At this Olympics, the two strongest Chinese 400-meter sprinters seemed to have completed a ritualized handover during the Olympic Games, and then the baton across the dirt slope was transferred from Zhang Ziyi to Qiu Wen.
Before the Olympics, the national record was 44.76 seconds set by Zhang Ziyi in the Diamond League race. However, in just the Olympic semi-finals and finals, China's 400-meter sprint record jumped from 44.76 seconds to 44.59 seconds, 44.57 seconds, and then to today's 44.49 seconds.
Looking back, China's 400-meter sprint record broke the shackles of 45.25 seconds during the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition, and then reached 44.49 seconds today.
In just less than two years, China's 400-meter sprint record has undergone tremendous changes.
And all of this originated from Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, and...
The camera footage in the live broadcast seemed to have read the thoughts of countless people at that moment. When all the track and field fans were rubbing their heads with that name, the live camera miraculously turned to the Chinese athletes' seats, aiming at one of the young men who was standing and smiling and applauding.
That is, Su Bai.
"There is no doubt that the 400-meter sprint team is the undisputed miracle team in the Chinese track and field team! And the one who created this miracle team in just a few years is this young man standing in the audience at this moment!"
"Who can believe that this legendary coach of the Chinese track and field team is only 25 years old this year, and the miracles he has created are enough to bring him glory for a lifetime!"
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen couldn't help but sigh after seeing Su Bai appear on the screen, but at the same time, when they mentioned Su Bai's age, they were both stunned.
25 years old, such an incredible age?
Only when they really talk about this number, will they realize that the leader who is now leading China's 400-meter sprint project forward with confidence is only a young man of 25 years old.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, the public screen barrage that was originally in full swing paused for a moment after hearing the number 25. Then, a large number of "25?" were silently displayed on the public screen barrage. ! ! ! 'Such barrage text.
【=口=What the hell! What the hell! ! ! What the hell, is Boss Su only 25 years old this year? ! 】
[Oh my god, I always knew that Su Bai, the 400-meter sprint coach of the track and field team, was very young, but I still subconsciously thought that he was at least 30 years old. As a result, he brought out Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen, and I even remember that Fang Yu's breakthrough in performance was also due to him, right? He is only 25? ! ! ! 】
[Mom asked me why I was kneeling in front of the computer...Is this the awesome life of Mr. Su? 】
【? ? ? At the age of 25, he led a legendary team of 400-meter sprinters in China...】
[It's not just the 400-meter sprint. If you look back at the 110-meter hurdles, there are also the 100-meter sprint and the men's high jump? 】
[Oh yeah, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Cui Luoheng, Wang Shen, Li Junhao, Chen Yada, Fang Yu... Damn, I feel like I'm stupid. It's not that I don't understand, but this world is too crazy, right? ? ? 】
[…Speaking of Mr. Su, I just did some calculations. In this Tokyo Olympics, the track and field events have so far won gold medals in the men's high jump, 110-meter hurdles, and women's hammer throw. Friends, please take a look at who are the coaches of the gold medalists in the men's high jump and 110-meter hurdles? 】
[Okay, stop talking. I have already knelt down to Boss Su. Would anyone like to come and see how I kneel? 】
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, the barrage of comments has exploded because of Su Bai's age. However, most people who are watching the live broadcast of the Olympics on the sports channel are not actually watching it in the live broadcast room. Most of them are watching the games directly on TV.
For most of the new fans or some passers-by who have been obsessed with track and field since the Tokyo Olympic cycle, although Su Bai was once a hot topic during the Olympics because of the topic of "Ramen Boy", more people only know that the head coach of the track and field team's 400-meter sprint is young, but they don't know how young he is.
After Shao Minyi and Li Sen 'revealed' Su Bai's age during prime time when Qiu Wen won a medal and broke the national record, which attracted a large number of people to watch, the audience who originally did not know Su Bai's age were finally completely confused.
For a while, along with #Qiu Wen won bronze in 400m sprint# and #Qiu Wen broke national record again#, the topic #Su Bai is 25 years old this year# was pushed to the top of the hot searches, which seemed a bit puzzling to uninformed passers-by.
On Weibo, this topic almost instantly rushed to the top of the hot search list. Similar topics include #苏白只25岁？ #, #other people’s 25 years old# and other such content.
From the moment Shao Minyi and Li Sen said Su Bai's age, probably a large group of people on Weibo posted "WTF" on Weibo at the same time.
[#Su Bai is 25 years old this year# I was shocked. Are young people nowadays so awesome? I can’t believe how old Mr. Su is! ! 】
[#Su Bai is 25 years old this year#… I just went back to review Su Da Lao’s resume and saw a report that mentioned that Su Da Lao did apply for retirement when he was about to turn 23, because he judged that it would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in his athletic career. After retiring, he worked as a chef for the S Province Track and Field Team for a while, and then he started to coach Xiao Qiu…
After some calculations, Xiao Qiu started to switch to the 400-meter sprint at the 2018 National Track and Field Grand Prix, and then he followed Su Bai into the national team based on his performance.
He knelt down and recalculated. It was indeed only two years that Mr. Su had led the national track and field team in the 400-meter sprint. In those two years, the team's 400-meter sprint results...
Okay, I'm already unconscious right here, goodbye everyone. I plan to try to dream about how awesome Boss Su is while I'm unconscious. 】
Whether they are track and field fans or non-track and field fans, the enthusiasm and passion for participating in the discussion on this topic are very high.
Most track and field fans have the purest gratitude in their hearts, and also have great expectations for the future of track and field events - think about it, Su Bai is only 25 years old this year, and he has already made the Chinese track and field team's 400-meter sprint event so awesome, so why not give him a few more years?
The next Olympics, or the one after that?
Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen are indeed good enough, but track and field fans always feel that it is a pity that they cannot be trained by Qiu Wen from the initial basic stage of their careers.
If, if Su Bai could be given some time to select talented players from those young talents in their early teens and then train them into adults, what would be the result?
Under that training model, will China's 400-meter sprint event produce a genius who will shine in the world and make black athletes only look up to him?
Track and field fans have made countless assumptions about such hopes and expectations. They are glad that Su Bai made the decisive choice to retire at the beginning, and they are also glad that Su Bai met a leader and senior who was willing to believe in him, giving him the opportunity to show his skills even at a young age. As a result, China's track and field events have undergone such earth-shaking changes today.
And they are also fortunate that Su Bai is still so young. His youth is also equivalent to the youth of Chinese track and field, and is equivalent to infinite hope for the future of Chinese track and field.
When they think of this, track and field fans can't wait to take out their fireworks and set them off to celebrate.
Track and field fans are excited because of this. New and casual fans of track and field are simply shocked that Su Bai, the head coach of the national track and field team's 400-meter sprint, is so young. However, casual fans who didn't know much about track and field even during the Olympics are very confused.
What's going on?
Who is this Su Bai?
The name seems a little familiar...but why did the topic of him turning 25 this year become such a hot topic?
Some passers-by thought that this was a newcomer in the entertainment industry. After all, nowadays, people in the entertainment industry are replaced every day. There are too many names that ordinary people have never heard of. Moreover, these people are particularly willing to buy hot searches, so some inexplicable names and hot search topics often appear on Weibo.
Some righteous bystanders were already annoyed by the celebrity-related topics on the Internet. When they saw this inexplicable topic appear, they immediately picked up machetes and prepared to criticize it.
As a result, when they clicked on the hot search and saw the introduction of the hot search, they were confused.
The introduction to the hot search topic reads: [Su Bai, head coach of the Chinese national track and field team's 400m sprint event, has made outstanding contributions to China's track and field events since taking this position. Su Bai has provided great help in the breakthrough results of famous athletes such as Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Li Junhao, Cui Luoheng, Chen Yadan, Fang Yu, and Wang Shen. During the live broadcast of the men's 400m sprint final of the Tokyo Olympics on August 5, 2020, sports commentator Shao Min mentioned that Su Bai is only 25 years old this year, which caused shock and heated discussions among netizens. 】
………………
…………
…
_(:3)∠)_
After reading the introduction, the "righteous passers-by" who had originally clicked in angrily secretly put away their 40-meter-long swords, and then stared at the introduction and read it several times.
Although they don't care about track and field events, it is the Olympic cycle after all, so they still see names like Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen from time to time and have an impression of them.
These are all awesome athletes who have brought glory to our country!
Then the coach who brought out these awesome athletes... is certainly worthy of a hot search! And this coach... damn, he is only 25 years old? !
Shouldn't it be appropriate to give such a thrilling topic a high position in the trending searches?
That's exactly what you should do!
So, these righteous passers-by, who originally clicked on the topic with anger, turned around and started chatting in the topic with shock.
【=口=Such an awesome coach is only 25 years old? I’m down on my knees! 】
[Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen... Even someone like me who doesn't care about sports at all has heard of the names of these two players. But their coaches are only 25 years old? 】
[Ah, Cui Luoheng, didn’t the whole country just celebrate yesterday? I was watching the match with my parents, and they were so happy. He was also a player trained by Su Bai? Wait, isn’t Su Bai the head coach for the 400-meter sprint event? Cui Luoheng is the gold medalist in the 110-meter hurdles? ? ? ? ? 】
These passers-by who had never cared about sports in the past now felt as if a whole new world had opened up when they clicked on Su Bai's age-related topic.
It's just that there will never be a shortage of nitpickers in this world, and even when it comes to topics related to athletes and coaches who have made huge contributions to the country, nitpickers will only arrive late, not early.
After someone "carefully studied" Su Bai's topic introduction, they began to mock him -
[（Screenshot）、（Screenshot）, this topic introduction is too shameless. I admit that Su Bai is awesome and young, but being awesome should also be within common sense, right? I went to the official website of the National Track and Field Team to take a screenshot. Wang Shen’s coach is Li Mingzhuo. You can’t erase the credit of Coach Li and give all the credit to Su Bai, right? 】
[Also, praising people should be reasonable. It is true that Qiu Wen was brought up by Su Bai, but can Zhang Ziyi also be considered Su Bai's? Su Bai has only been in the national team for two years, and Zhang Ziyi was already the top in the domestic 400-meter sprint event two years ago. Should this credit also be attributed to Su Bai? You can brag, but don’t brag mindlessly, okay? 】
[That's right, take Cui Luoheng for example. He practiced the 110-meter hurdles when he was on the S Province Track and Field Team. His coach at the time was Coach Zhou Wenzhou from the S Province Track and Field Team. Cui Luoheng was already a well-known young athlete in the country when he was a teenager. Everyone said he had a promising future. But why is it that when people mention Cui Luoheng now, they think of Su Bai, as if Coach Zhou Wenzhou had no credit? Cui Luoheng can have his current results because he laid a good foundation in the beginning! 】
[That's right, not to mention Fang Yu, who was the first yellow man to break the 10-second barrier in the 100-meter race. What did Su Bai do to help him? 】
These argumentative people claim that they are full of rationality and are definitely not arguing. They just want to "restore the real Su Bai and not exaggerate too much."
This kind of unique painting style seems particularly confusing in a group of people who are discussing topics that are either exciting, expectant, or ridiculous.
Fortunately, as the popularity of track and field related topics increases, track and field fans who are also wandering around in this topic are now fully prepared and experienced to deal with these nitpickers.
Because of Su Bai's "super data brain" joke, many track and field fans later developed the habit of recording various data or information.
And these data and information are collected by them in different categories, so they can be released directly when needed.
Among the relevant materials, there are screenshots of various news interviews of the players mentioned by these nitpickers. When they mentioned their training and achievements, they all thanked Su Bai for his teachings. Even the original coaches of these players affirmed Su Bai's key role in improving the performance of these players.
Some people also took out the previous and subsequent results of an athlete as an example - this was when mentioning Zhang Ziyi. The track and field fan directly posted a list of Zhang Ziyi's performance data in recent years that had been compiled by someone. This data table showed a very clear process of rapid improvement in performance, and the key node of this rapid improvement in performance was the time when Su Bai took over the 400-meter sprint event of the national track and field team.
After releasing these data, the nitpickers still want to continue arguing, but all the points they can argue have been blocked. If they continue to argue, their unreasonable attitude will be particularly obvious.
At this time, there is no need for track and field fans to take action. Just ordinary passers-by are enough to press these argumentative people to the ground and rub them thousands of times.
The Internet was in an uproar over Su Bai's age issue, but the Tokyo Olympics was still in a fanatical atmosphere. Audiences from China spontaneously shouted Qiu Wen's name in the audience seats, and some excited audiences sang the national anthem loudly, and even led a small chorus.
In fact, after watching a game like the one just now, the track and field fans at the scene didn't know where to direct their blood. It seemed that only shouting and singing loudly could express the joy and excitement in their hearts.
In the Chinese contestant section of the audience, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan finally came to their senses after their initial trance. But even after that, they could only applaud vigorously. The excitement in their hearts was so intense that they didn't know how to express it in words.
After clapping for a while, Jiang Wentao remembered something and immediately took out his cell phone to call Wang Zhengsheng, the director of the Domestic Field Management Center.
As the call was connected, Jiang Wentao could hear the excited cheers and shouts of the staff of the Field Management Center around Wang Zhengsheng on the other end of the line.
The two of them were so excited that they didn't know what to say for a while. Finally, after a while, Jiang Wentao switched the phone to video mode.
"Old Wang, let me show you our scene!"
As Jiang Wentao spoke, he turned the camera of his mobile phone towards the direction where the track and field fans were singing the national anthem and waving the national flag.
This is truly a corner that will not be shown in the live broadcast at this moment. In China, Wang Zhengsheng and the staff of the Field Management Center watched Jiang Wentao, who was far away in Tokyo, giving them this unclear and even noisy "live broadcast" through a small mobile phone screen. Then, as they watched, many people shed tears.
It’s great, it’s really great to be able to see such a scene!
Just as many people have said, China's track and field events are now like the rising sun, radiating light vigorously, emitting its hope bit by bit, and rushing towards a better future.
The hard work and difficulties of the past do exist and should not be forgotten, but Chinese track and field is now on a bright road.
Cry, get excited, scream.
These are the best outlets for the supporters who have been watching Chinese athletics all the way.
China, City S, Qiu Wen's home
Mr. Qiu, along with his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and others, are all watching the live broadcast of the 400-meter final tonight.
Before the competition began, they were all very nervous. Some thought Qiu Wen might not perform well and end up last, which would not look good even if he made it to the finals.
It was Old Man Qiu who lectured them, rebuking them for their thoughts that discredited Qiu Wen's previous efforts. Then, before everyone could finish reflecting, Qiu Wen's competition began, and their attention was directly focused on the competition.
After the game started, they put all their attention into the game, and no longer thought about what would happen if they didn't perform well.
It is an incredible honor for Qiu Wen to be able to enter such a competition!
When they saw Qiu Wen finally cross the finish line and win the bronze medal, they were as excited and proud as all track and field fans.
certainly……
_(:3)∠)_
When they saw the unfortunate child collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath and still grinning foolishly, they all couldn't help laughing - well, Qiu Wen is still Qiu Wen, still the silly child of their family.
