Even before the game started, Hu Shaowen had already heard Su Bai's prediction that Qiu Wen and the other two would be able to take the top three, but Hu Shaowen did not take Su Bai's words seriously at that time. How could he have known that just one minute later, the scene before him would confirm Su Bai's prediction.
"Oh my god..." Hu Shaowen listened to the thunderous cheers beside him, and after he came to his senses, he excitedly grabbed Su Bai's shoulders and said, "Su Bai! How could you have guessed that they could take the top three?!"
And his attitude was so confident and calm, as if all this was as it should be!
The cheers and screams around were so loud that it made one's head hurt, but Hu Shaowen was extremely excited - he took the top three places! This has never happened in any event in the history of the S Province Track and Field Team!
Although this is just a domestic Grand Prix race, it is an unprecedented brilliant record!
Besides, this is 400 meters! In the past, the S Province track and field team had never been able to gain such an advantage in the 400-meter sprint! !
Hu Shaowen was so excited that he grabbed Su Bai's shoulders and shook him, which made Su Bai a little dazed. He wanted to turn around and explain to Hu Shaowen why Qiu Wen and the other three were able to take the top three, but the cheers and shouts around them were too loud, and Hu Shaowen was not really interested in listening to these reasons at the moment. So before Su Bai could open his mouth, he saw Hu Shaowen turn around and shouted in the direction of the competition venue, "S Province Track and Field Team is awesome!" !
In the audience, the audience had already gone crazy.
Normally, if you want to see this level of excited reaction in the audience, it must be when a player breaks the tournament record in a popular event.
But today is different. Although the results of Qiu Wen and the other two have not come out yet, the audience generally knows that Qiu Wen does not have the strength to break the record for the time being. But just looking at the sky-high performance of the S Province Track and Field Team in the 400-meter event is enough to justify the price of the ticket!
Not only the audience in the stands were crazy, but the forum friends in the track and field kingdom were also crazy!
After the results of the morning's preliminaries came out, forum members on the Track and Field Kingdom forum called on the people at the scene to start a live broadcast. They also learned from the experience of someone who did a live broadcast last time and got too excited, so they asked someone to bring a live broadcast tripod and fix the mobile phone directly on the tripod to ensure that everyone could see the entire live broadcast.
But, as the saying goes - plans cannot keep up with changes.
The forum friends on Track and Field Kingdom were watching the live broadcast happily. After seeing Qiu Wen's advantage at the start and Hu Li's excellent start, they didn't wait to watch for long before seeing Hu Li and Guo Dun start a tug-of-war. Then there were more scenes...
They can’t see it!
The reason is simple. After the competition entered the white-hot stage, the audience began to stand up from their seats, waving their fists at the players on the track, cheering them on.
After everyone stood up, how could the tripod used for live broadcasting see the actual situation on the track through the dense crowds of people?
Friends in the forum looked at the screen that was suddenly occupied by backs and the backs of heads with bewilderment on their faces. Then they watched those backs and the backs of heads getting excited, and then there was an unprecedented burst of applause and cheers.
what happens?
What is happening at the scene?
Did Qiu Wen break the record?
Why are these people so excited?
All the forum friends who were watching the live broadcast had a lot of question marks in their heads, and their hearts were burning with anxiety. It can be said that they were extremely uncomfortable.
What on earth happened? Brothers here at the scene, please give me a response! ! ! 】
On the barrage, the forum users who could not see the on-site situation were very anxious. There were barrages of comments asking about the specific situation one after another. All the hostages listened to the shouts of "S Province Track and Field Team is awesome" on the scene and had a vague guess in their hearts, but no one knew what the specific situation was for a while.
Until the big brother who was broadcasting live finally looked down at his mobile phone screen, and then he yelled at his mobile phone screen: [Brothers! The S Province track and field team is awesome! ! Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei and Hu Li took the top three spots! 】
After he finished saying this, the barrage in the live broadcast room finally exploded!
[Oh shit oh shit!] ! ! ? ? Take the top three? ! ! ! 】
[Ahhhh, why the hell wasn’t I watching the game live? ! A provincial team took the top three places in individual events at the Grand Prix. What a historic scene! I didn’t even see it? ! ! 】
Countless track and field fans who were unable to arrive at the scene to watch the game are now regretting and beating their chests and stamping their feet. This kind of competition scene cannot be seen at any time. If they missed this time, they don’t know when they can see such a wonderful event again.
On the barrage, after learning about the performance of Qiu Wen and other two members of the S Province Track and Field Team, everyone looked at the cheering audience and shed tears of regret in their hearts.
On the field, when all the players crossed the line one after another, Hu Li and Zhang Wei looked at each other, and then saw Qiu Wen in front of them who also successfully won the championship. The three of them immediately hugged each other excitedly.
Don’t say that this race is just a sub-race of the domestic Grand Prix and is insignificant... Anyway, for Zhang Wei and Hu Li, they have never achieved such good results before, nor have they been able to get such a good report card with their teammates!
After the eight contestants in the final crossed the line one by one, they looked at the three members of the S Province Track and Field Team who were hugging each other with disbelief written all over their faces. As for Guo Dun, his rhythm collapsed in the latter part of the race, so he barely managed to cross the finish line. He was breathing heavily, and still couldn't believe the heavy blow of not making it into the top three.
In the coach's office of the S Province Track and Field Team, He Yishen and Zhao Heping sat together and chatted at about the same time, waiting for the team leader Hu Shaowen to call them.
The time for the finals was almost over, but the phone still hadn't rung. He Yishen and Zhao Heping were getting a little worried when the phone rang.
"Yes, it's Hu Shaowen calling!" He Yishen took a look at the caller ID and answered the call. Before he could ask any questions, Hu Shaowen's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Coach He, top three! Top three!!!"
He Yishen was stunned by these nonsensical words. On the phone, Hu Shaowen's voice sounded more clearly.
"Coach He, I have good news for you! In the men's 400-meter event, our S Province track and field team took the top three spots in the final! Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei, and Hu Li took first, second, and third place, respectively!"
Hearing this, He Yishen suddenly stood up from his seat: "You or what? Take the top three?!"
"Yes! Our team has set a record in the Grand Prix! It's the first time that a single provincial team has swept the top three events in a race!" Hu Shaowen's voice was very excited, and there were noisy cheers around him. It was obvious that the atmosphere on the scene was very warm.
He Yishen took a deep breath, and Zhao Heping beside him also froze in his seat.
"What about the results? What are the results of the three of them?!" He Yishen asked.
"The results haven't been announced yet... Oh, wait, Coach He, the on-site broadcast is ringing, and the results are about to be announced!"
Hu Shaowen must have suddenly heard the live broadcast, so he stopped talking for a moment, while He Yishen was anxiously waiting for feedback from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Heping also stood up at this time. The information revealed by the few words He Yishen said after answering the phone was enough to make Zhao Heping excited and nervous.
The ranking is already there, so what will the result be? !
As another round of cheers came from the receiver, Hu Shaowen finally announced the results of Qiu Wen and the other two in a voice full of excitement: "Coach He! Qiu Wen took first place today with 47.19 seconds, Zhang Wei 47.47 seconds, and Hu Li 47.51 seconds. All three of them broke their personal bests. The wind speed today was -0.9m/s. This result was achieved in a headwind situation. If the wind was favorable, Qiu might have a chance to break under 47 seconds today!"
The result reported by Hu Shaowen made He Yishen's heart skip a beat again - he knew that under Su Bai's guidance, Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei and Hu Li's results would definitely improve, but whether it was Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei or Hu Li, the extent of the improvement still exceeded his imagination.
Qiu Wen, in three months, went from being a 400m novice to running within 47 seconds;
Zhang Wei and Hu Li, in just one month, went from an average of just over 48 seconds to 47.50 seconds...
These were scenes he had never imagined, but at this moment, they all came true.
Apart from miracle, He Yishen didn't know what words to use to describe the transformation of the S Province Track and Field Team in the 400-meter event in the past two or three months.
And the source of this miracle... is undoubtedly Su Bai.
Thinking of this, He Yishen calmed down and asked, "Is Su Bai here?" '
Hu Shaowen immediately said yes, and then immediately handed the phone to Su Bai.
"Hello, Coach He?"
Su Bai's voice came from the other end of the receiver. His tone was calm, which seemed to be out of tune with the boiling noise around him and Hu Shaowen's excitement just now.
After hearing Su Bai's voice, He Yishen finally calmed down a little, and Su Bai's calm state also gave He Yishen some guesses.
"Xiao Bai..." He Yishen thought for a moment and asked, "Did you predict their results before the game started?"
"Yes."
really.
Su Bai's answer surprised He Yishen a little, but he also remembered that when they were watching Qiu Wen's test match together, Su Bai had correctly predicted Qiu Wen's results several times in a row - this was actually not the first time that Su Bai had accurately judged his opponent's results.
Thinking of this, He Yishen understood a little, then smiled and said: "How did you make this judgment?"
He Yishen's question was the same as the one Hu Shaowen had asked when he was excited. Su Bai sorted out his thoughts a little and replied, "It's not difficult to judge."
"In this H City race, Zhang Ziyi, who has the best performance in the 400m event in China, did not participate. There are also few players like Lin Chuan who have a stable mentality and stable performance. Based on Qiu Wen's training results during this period, I have a rough idea of his progress. Before the preliminaries, I set the ultimate goal for him in this competition to be the champion of the race."
"There is actually a certain amount of speculation in the rankings of Hu Li and Zhang Wei, but given their current form, they can at least get into the top four. In the end, they were able to get second and third place, mainly because Qiu Wen, Hu Li and Zhang Wei had a certain group advantage in their track positions, and at the same time, our estimate of Guo Dun, the player who posed the greatest threat to them, was low before the game. In addition, I have read Guo Dun's past competition data, and he is a player who is more easily affected by his psychological state and the state of his opponents on the field."
"After Qiu Wen started, his personal advantage was likely to have a certain impact on him. Then there were Hu Li and Zhang Wei, both of whom were in his competition circle. After being continuously affected by his opponents, it was difficult for him to maintain a rational and self-controlled state, and it was not difficult to predict that he would be left behind by Hu Li and Zhang Wei."
While narrating all this, Su Bai's voice remained very calm, forming a sharp contrast with the ambient sounds around him.
After listening to Su Bai's explanation, He Yishen also understood the reasons for today's game results.
However, the principles that Su Bai said seem simple, but who can really make such a firm and calm judgment before the game starts, and still be so calm after seeing the real results after the game?
On the other end of the phone, Su Bai's voice continued: "In today's game, Qiu Wen and his team took the top three places. It was actually a bit of luck, but as long as they continue to maintain a good training state, they will have the opportunity to get better results in the future."
Even after hanging up the phone, He Yishen's mind was still echoing with Su Bai's words "a chance to get better grades"...
"Xiaobai is a very ambitious kid!" He Yishen said to Zhao Heping with a smile, "But being ambitious is a good thing! Old Zhao, you really have a good disciple!"
Zhao Heping's face was also filled with joy. He Yishen was right. Didn't he have a good apprentice?
At this moment, he recalled how Su Bai looked when he wanted to retire, and he was once again glad that he had stopped him and let him into the cafeteria kitchen - otherwise, how could the scene today happen?
The fact that the S Province track and field team won the top three places in the 400m event of the H City leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix made everyone in the team very excited. When He Yishen personally went to the director's office to find Li Peisheng to report the bonus to Su Bai and others, Li Peisheng laughed on the spot and agreed to the bonus application without saying a word.
Of course, the publicity staff of the track and field team would not miss such a good publicity case. After receiving the news, the official Weibo account of the S Province Track and Field Team immediately posted a Weibo.
S Province Track and Field Team official microblog: [Warm congratulations to our team’s men’s 400m sprint athletes @Qiu Wen, @Zhang Wei, @Hu Li, for taking the top three spots in the men’s 400m event at the National Track and Field Grand Prix H City leg held today! I hope that in the future, the team members can continue to work hard and achieve even better results under the leadership of coach @苏白! 】
The official Weibo account of the S Province Track and Field Team does not have many followers, and most of them are local track and field fans of S Province. Some of these people have already seen the winning news of the 400-meter event on the Track and Field Kingdom, while others did not know about the excellent results achieved by the track and field team this time. It was not until the official Weibo account announced the results that many people were shocked by the results.
[Am I seeing this right?] Our S Province track and field team took the top three places in the 400m event this time? ! 】
[Xiao Qiu, Lao Zhang and Lao Hu...these three brothers are great! 】
[Although it’s just a Grand Prix race, no team has ever achieved this result before, right? Our S Province Track and Field Team has made history! 】
Suddenly, people in the track and field fans discussion group in Province S also began to discuss Qiu Wen and his team’s performance in this event.
[I really didn't expect this. Our provincial team hasn't had any great results in the 400-meter event in the past, right? I remember that Hu Li and Zhang Wei had not reached the national level before, but this time they are really impressive! 】
[Didn’t you notice Coach Su Bai mentioned in the official Weibo post? The official Weibo account had previously issued a clarification statement, and Wu Shengping and He Yishen also forwarded it to prove that he has the coaching ability. Now he is in charge of the 400-meter event of the provincial team. Hu Li and Zhang Wei have only officially transferred to his team for one month, but they set a new record in this competition! 】
[That's right, Xiao Qiu originally practiced 100 and 200 and my results were pretty good, but after switching to Su Bai's 400, he has been PB'ing for several consecutive competitions. If it weren't for the headwind, today's result would probably have been under 47 seconds... In the final analysis, this Su Bai is really awesome! 】
On the Internet and in the S Province Track and Field Team, many people were discussing topics related to Su Bai, Qiu Wen and others. At the Track and Field Management Center far away in B City, the topic was also related to Su Bai and others who were thousands of miles away.
The topic arose because the Athletics Administration Center has gathered the coaches of the national team. Everyone is discussing the list of track and field coaches for the Jakarta Asian Games in early September and the possible candidates for each event. At the same time, they are also discussing everyone's confidence in each event.
For the Jakarta Asian Games, the Athletics Administration Center has issued an announcement that it plans to conduct personnel selection for each individual event at the G City National Track and Field Grand Prix Championship on July 16. By then, if nothing unexpected happens, in addition to designated participants in some events, the champions and runners-up of each event in the championship will be selected as participants in the Asian Games.
In track and field events, the 100m, 200m and 110m hurdles are all eye-catching key events. In the 100m and 200m, due to the presence of Fang Yu and Wu Yi, there is basically no suspense about the main contestants, and the remaining contestants are just competing for another participating spot.
After discussing these key events, there are also some events such as the 400-meter sprint that are unpopular and require the Athletics Management Center and the national team to give them a headache.
The national record for the 400m event in China is still maintained at 45.25 seconds. The top 400m level in Asia is around 44 seconds. Of course, some of this is due to naturalized athletes. But if we focus on countries like Japan, the 400m strength of these countries' local athletes is not something that Chinese athletes can currently catch up with.
Take Zhang Ziyi, the current best performer in China, for example. His personal PB is 45.57 seconds, but he does not often reach this PB result, and he is not even often able to break the 46-second mark. He usually stays in the range of 46 seconds to 47 seconds. Breaking 46 seconds is more a matter of luck than strength.
Zhang Ziyi's results are like this, not to mention other contestants.
That is why, when discussing the 400-meter event, the atmosphere on the scene was awkward and silent.
"Are there any new talents in the 400m event in China recently?"
Wang Zhengsheng, director of the Track and Field Management Center, who was sitting in the hosting position, looked at the information in his hand, flipping through it, but really didn't see any exciting good news related to the 400 meters.
"Hmm... this Qiu Wen... is he the new 400m athlete from the last two Grand Prix races? His results have been pretty good in two consecutive races. I don't think I've seen this name before?"
"Oh, I know a little bit about Qiu Wen. He is indeed quite talented."
The person who responded was Wu Shengping, who had previously visited the S Province Track and Field Team for exchanges and guidance. As the coach of the national team's sprint group, he was of course also at the meeting.
After hearing what Wu Shengping said, Wang Zhengsheng became interested: "Oh? What's that?"
Seeing that Wang Zhengsheng was interested in Qiu Wen, Wu Shengping didn't mind introducing him a little more, so he briefly introduced on the spot what he had learned about Qiu Wen's change of sport when he was in the S Province Track and Field Team.
After Wu Shengping finished introducing this matter, Wang Zhengsheng became more interested in Qiu Wen. He took another look at Qiu Wen's two game results in his hand: "According to what you said, in just three months, his 400m results have been able to stabilize at around 47.50 seconds? He is indeed very talented!" After a pause, Wang Zhengsheng remembered the coach who guided Qiu Wen to change his sport mentioned in Wu Shengping's introduction, so he said: "The coach named Su Bai you mentioned seems to be very capable in the 400m event."
At this point, Wang Zhengsheng suddenly remembered that today was the last stage of the 400m race, so he directly called a staff member from the Track and Field Center and asked him to get a copy of today's 400m final results immediately - it was rare to see a talented athlete in the 400m event, and Wang Zhengsheng and other track and field coaches present also became a little interested.
The staff at the Track and Field Management Center was very efficient. In just 5 minutes, he returned to the conference room with several result sheets of the 400-meter final of the H City race that day, and then distributed the result sheets to several key leaders and head coaches.
Everyone present was originally looking at Qiu Wen as a "future talent", but after everyone carefully looked through the 400m final results sheet, everyone present was stunned.
"Wait, 47.19 seconds? This is a result against the odds?!" Wang Zhengsheng was the first to express surprise: "It was only half a month since his last match. Has his PB improved again?!"
"No... In today's 400m final, three athletes from the S Province Track and Field Team took the top three spots in the 400m?! Isn't the fourth place Guo Dun from the B City Team? All three of them took it."
After reading today's 400m final results, the officials from the Track and Field Administration Center and the national team coaches present looked at each other in bewilderment - how come they didn't know when the S Province track and field team had become such a dominant team in the national men's 400m event?
After being stunned for a long time, Wang Zhengsheng pointed at the final results sheet and exclaimed: "Not bad, the 400-meter coach of the S Province Track and Field Team is called Su Bai, right? He's quite talented!"
Jiang Wentao, deputy director of the Athletics Management Center who is in charge of competitions, also had a hint of appreciation on his face. He asked, "Old Wang, can we consider transferring Su Bai to the national team?"
Wang Zhengsheng thought for a moment and shook his head. "Wait a little longer. Let's wait until the championship game is over. If Qiu Wen can make it to the Asian Games, then we can transfer Su Bai to the coaching team for the Asian Games. If not, we can consider selecting Qiu Wen as a member of the 400-meter relay team and transfer Su Bai as well. We can observe him carefully during the training period before the Asian Games and then make a final decision."
This decision was a prudent and reasonable one, and the other coaches present had no objections, so the topic was temporarily ended. After the meeting, a guidance letter was sent from the Athletics Management Center to the S Province Track and Field Team. Although the content of the meeting was not formally mentioned, the guidance letter also hinted to the S Province Track and Field Team that they must go all out in the upcoming championship games!
