Although Li Mingzhuo is a vicious person, it is absolutely true that he has a soft heart. After knowing the specific situation of Wang Shen the day before, Li Mingzhuo directly grabbed Ye Tao and rushed to the business department of the national team responsible for network operation and promotion, and sternly asked them to issue an announcement immediately and severely reprimand the program crew.
At the same time, due to the hype from the program crew, the national track and field team and other national teams directly launched self-inspections within the team, requiring athletes who had taken leave for training in recent times to provide corresponding reasons and proof.
Even if the production team of "The King" wants to go through the legal process now, the corresponding national teams may not agree easily. After all, the production team has directly crossed the line this time.
As for Wang Shen’s training, in fact, Li Mingzhuo and Ye Tao also talked for a long time the night before.
There is no doubt that Wang Shen is talented, including his current personal PB of 2.28 meters, which is already a good result. To break through the 2.30 meter mark, what he needs is further correction and adjustment in technical movements including the run-up and take-off.
With continued practice, the 2.30-meter mark will never be a problem for Wang Shen.
The problem now is that Wang Shen’s opponent is not only himself, but also Ye Wenhao who is in equally great shape.
Wang Shen can break 2.30 meters, and so can Ye Wenhao.
There is not much difference in their talents, and they are both very serious about training. It can be said that there is no water in the clash of strength between the two.
Under such circumstances, Li Mingzhuo could only ensure that he would take their training plans seriously and treat their training guidance as better and more responsibly as possible.
As for the championship, it is something that no one can guarantee.
They understand Wang Shen's regret, but both Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao are high jump athletes trained by the national team. It is impossible for them to make a decision in favor of Wang Shen just because of Wang Shen's pain and regret.
Today, Su Bai stood up and said that he had made a new training plan for Wang Shen. Rather than saying that Su Bai exceeded his authority in this matter, it would be better to say that this matter solved the problem that Li Mingzhuo was unable to solve at this time.
Li Mingzhuo had heard of Su Bai's name and deeds for a long time. Although high jump, sprinting and hurdles all belong to track and field, there are huge differences between them. Therefore, Li Mingzhuo had always regarded Su Bai as an ordinary colleague in the national team and did not have any special feelings about him.
When Li Mingzhuo heard that Su Bai had prepared a training plan for Wang Shen, his first reaction was "child's play" - you, Su Bai, a sprint and hurdle coach, are meddling in my high jump?
But after casually flipping through the training plan submitted by Su Bai, Li Mingzhuo's original idea of "child's play" was overturned.
This Su Bai is not joking.
The entire training program includes specialized strength training for lower limb support and extension, as well as adjustments to the technical details of starting, running-up, and jumping, etc. It is very comprehensive and professional. There is even an analysis specifically targeting Wang Shen's techniques for using extension and pushing strength. This detailed analysis is also something that Li Mingzhuo had not paid attention to before.
It was precisely because he realized that Su Bai's plan was indeed feasible, and there were many complicated factors, that Li Mingzhuo chose to let Wang Shen come in person to express his opinion.
Li Mingzhuo was not surprised by Wang Shen's choice.
It is normal for Wang Shen to want to try to change now, as he has been under tremendous pressure before. Not to mention that Su Bai's plan does point out some of Wang Shen's current problems.
After Wang Shen made his choice, although Li Mingzhuo looked extremely fierce, he actually kept Su Bai and Wang Shen. The three parties started a discussion based on the training plan given by Su Bai.
Su Bai gave some analysis on Wang Shen's running-up, take-off braking, and application of pushing and stretching force. He also clarified to Li Mingzhuo the training goals of each training item and the reasons for such arrangements.
The three of them discussed this plan for a long time. In the end, the discussion between Li Mingzhuo and Su Bai was no longer limited to Wang Shen's training plan, but turned directly to the technical adjustments of the high jump event such as the run-up and the angle of the take-off leg. In the end, the discussion between the two also involved Ye Wenhao, and it became a pure technical exchange between coaches.
It was already afternoon when Su Bai left Li Mingzhuo's office. Wang Shen did not leave directly with him, but stayed in the office and said sorry to Li Mingzhuo again.
Li Mingzhuo's face was still very sour. He glared at Wang Shen and said, "Okay, everything has been decided. You just need to practice hard. If you want to win the championship, you have to fight for me."
Wang Shen smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you, I understand."
The training plan for Wang Shen was finalized, but apart from Li Mingzhuo, Wang Shen, Su Bai and Ye Tao who found out about it later, no one knew for the time being that Su Bai was in charge of Wang Shen's training plan.
After this day, the national track and field team officially completed its winter training. On the next day, October 9, Wang Zhengsheng, director of the Athletics Management Center, personally came to the national team and presided over the mobilization meeting for this winter training.
"I don't know how nervous everyone is right now, but I am very nervous. The 2018 outdoor season has ended, and the 2019 Asian Championships and World Championships are coming up at the same time. Soon, the IAAF will announce how to qualify for the 2019 World Championships... The 2020 Tokyo Olympic track and field qualification is expected to be officially announced in early 2019."
"With every day that passes, the World Championships and the Olympics are getting closer and closer to us."
“We seem to have plenty of time, but we are running out of time.”
"This year's winter training and next year's winter training are our last and most important two Olympic preparation periods before the Tokyo Olympics. I hope that every coach and athlete present here can take our winter training seriously and strive to achieve greater strength growth and breakthroughs in the winter training!"
"I also hope that after the World Championships qualification method is announced, we can have more players qualify, step onto the world stage, and win glory for our country!"
After this inspiring speech, the national team took the assembled personnel and all the coaches and staff to a certain military district for a seven-day military training, and then returned to the training base to officially start this winter training.
During the track and field team's winter training, the "Strongest King" program team, which had been stirring up trouble on the Internet, encountered big trouble.
Li Mingzhuo and Ye Tao were both extremely angry about Wang Shen's incident. Not only did they ask the track and field team staff to issue the previous warning, they also reported the incident directly to the Athletics Management Center, including the grievances Wang Shen suffered in this incident and his real reason for asking for leave.
Not to mention that the "Strongest King" program team was already operating on the line, and they also deliberately used unsigned athletes for hype, completely disregarding the athletes' own wishes and the negative impact they might suffer.
Such bad behavior also completely angered the Athletics Management Center. As the director of the Athletics Management Center, Wang Zhengsheng went directly to the General Administration of Sports and got very angry with them.
Finally, the "Strongest King" program team was directly put on the Sports General Administration's cooperation blacklist, and each project center also specifically communicated with their top players, requiring each player to abide by the regulations and not sign contracts with variety show, advertising and other partners without authorization.
The production crew, who originally thought that they could solve the problem by simply spending a little more money, was completely stunned this time. In their promotion of the program this time, the national top athlete as a guest was originally one of the important promotional points of the program. The settings of the program and some game scripts were given special emphasis in order to create a professional atmosphere.
In this case, if the athlete cannot sign, or if he signs but cannot come due to restrictions from the Sports Federation... then their performance this time will be more than just a complete embarrassment.
The person in charge of the program team was extremely troubled by this sudden situation. People from all walks of life on the Internet seemed to have noticed the predicament of the program team, and some people began to add insult to injury.
For a while, this program team was in turmoil and extremely popular - but at this point, this kind of popularity was no longer what the program team wanted.
Most of the athletes of the national track and field team were unaware of this happening on the Internet. After the seven-day military training, all the athletes returned to the national team and started the official winter training cycle.
Of course, the 400-meter sprint event, supervised by Su Bai, also officially ushered in joint training for men and women.
On the first day of winter training, when Wang Ting and Zheng Xingguo brought the men's 400-meter sprinters and the women's 400-meter sprinters to the training ground respectively, the athletes on both sides were confused for a moment.
On the men's team, after Zhang Ziyi, Lin Chuan, and Guo Dun saw the members of the women's team, the three of them looked at each other, then all looked at Qiu Wen in a tacit understanding with amusement.
?
A question mark slowly floated above Qiu Wen's head.
What's going on?
He suddenly remembered that during the National Championships, his bad mouth seemed to have said - would Su Bai train the male and female players together?
What was he thinking at that time?
It seems to be saying...if the men's team and the women's team are trained together, when the athletes on the men's team see the girls on the women's team fighting so hard, will they still have the nerve to not train seriously?
Think of this.
Qiu Wen swallowed his saliva.
qaq...No, why does he have such a magical gift and sensitivity of prophecy in a place like this?
Lin Chuan smiled and patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder: "Oh, Xiao Qiu, as you wish!"
"…No! I'm not! I didn't!"
Qiu Wen shook his head frantically.
Zhang Ziyi, who was standing in the front, also smiled and turned to look at Qiu Wen: "No what? You mean, you really don't want to train with the women's team?"
...qaqNo, he doesn’t either!
At this time, Qiu Wen regretted why he had the audacity to tell Zhang Ziyi and the others about his guess, and now he was being ridiculed by them.
On the first day of winter training, the most important news for the national track and field team was officially announced - on October 16, the IAAF finally announced how to obtain the qualification for the 2019 Athletics World Championships.
At this World Championships, the IAAF abandoned the method proposed by some people to admit athletes according to world rankings, and instead continued to use standard qualifying scores as the standard line for qualifying for the World Championships. Each country can send a maximum of three athletes to participate in each event.
When the method of obtaining the qualification for the competition was announced, the standard line for the qualified score was of course also announced directly.
Among them, the qualifying standard for men's 100-meter sprint is 10.10 seconds, the qualifying standard for men's 400-meter run is 45.30 seconds, the qualifying standard for women's 400-meter is 51.80 seconds, the qualifying standard for 110-meter hurdles is 13.46 seconds, and the qualifying standard for men's high jump is 2.30 meters...
On the Internet - Track and Field Kingdom Forum
theme:【! ! The qualifying standards for the 2019 World Championships have been officially announced! 】
Topic content: [#IAAF News Official Website Link# (with screenshots of the competition standards)]
It should be said that Athletics Kingdom is worthy of being the most professional forum for track and field enthusiasts in the country. Forum members are always paying attention to relevant information such as IAAF news.
After the IAAF officially announced the entry standards, forum members began to discuss which domestic events are expected to qualify, or which events have higher qualification levels than expected, making it difficult for athletes to meet the standards.
[Topic: Men's 400m run 45.30 seconds... (bitter smile)
This year, we finally felt that the domestic 400m event had made great progress, but when the World Championships qualification was announced, it was like another heavy hammer fell... Zhang Shuai is still the best in the 400m event, but her personal PB is only 45.43 seconds, not to mention Xiao Qiu, whose current personal PB is 45.85 seconds...
We all know that it is easier for athletes to improve their performance in the early stages, but as they reach their peak, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve their performance quickly.
In the past year, Xiao Qiu has improved his performance from a rookie in the 400m event to 45.85 seconds. He is now one of the top athletes in the country. I am afraid that the road to further improving his performance will not be so simple.
As for Zhang Shuai, we all know how long she was stuck in her previous PB result of 45.57 seconds. She finally reached 45.43 seconds. Now, there is less than a year left before she reaches the required result for the World Championships.
I need to improve my score from 45.43 to under 45.30 within this year...
This is almost the performance standard that will break our national record. How easy is that?
I had originally thought that maybe Zhang Shuai could compete in the men's 400m event in under 45.40 seconds at this World Championships, and that would give him a good chance. But now the standard of 45.30 seconds feels like a blow to the head, and it makes me feel dizzy...】
This is a topic post from a die-hard fan of the 400-meter race, and many people have expressed their regrets under the post.
Of course, all of them agree that Zhang Ziyi has made great progress in the 2018 season, and they also admit that Qiu Wen has great potential and Su Bai is very capable.
However, without mentioning Qiu Wen, there is a gap of 0.13 seconds between Zhang Ziyi and the standard result, not to mention Qiu Wen whose current personal PB is only 45.85 seconds.
Of course, there are also fans of Qiu Wen who said in the post:
[Xiao Qiu's 45.85 seconds is indeed 0.55 seconds away from 45.30 seconds, but the progress Xiao Qiu has made in the past season is more than 0.55 seconds. 】
But as soon as this view came out, someone immediately raised a rebuttal.
[Okay, I know that Xiao Qiu is a very promising and talented player, but we all know that the concept of 0.55 seconds when the results are low and the concept of improving by 0.55 seconds after the results reach a certain level are two completely different things!
Not to mention anything else, the current world record for 400 meters is 43.08 seconds. After your result reaches 43.08 seconds, how about improving it by 0.55 seconds?
Anyway, I'm going to say this here. If Xiao Qiu can qualify for the World Championships, I'll perform a keyboard chewing show online! ! 】
?
It doesn't have to be so intense.
In addition to the 400-meter event, there are of course some more enjoyable events - such as the 100-meter sprint and the 110-meter hurdles.
Among them, for Fang Yu, the result of 10.10 seconds in the 100-meter sprint is still very likely to be achieved. With Fang Yu's presence, the country will at least have a guaranteed spot in the 100-meter sprint.
As for the 110-meter hurdles, it is because of Cui Luoheng, who won the Asian Games championship with 13.37 seconds. So for him now, a result of 13.46 seconds is naturally no problem. As for Xiao Lulu Mengfan, 13.46 seconds is not an undesirable result.
In other words, if we are lucky, China has a good chance of winning two places in the 110-meter hurdles event - this is really good and exciting news for the domestic 110-meter hurdles event which has been dormant for many years!
On the Internet, because of the qualifying results released by the IAAF, the discussion atmosphere among track and field fans has become unprecedentedly intense. The topic not only revolves around a few relatively weak events, but also some events in which the country is fully capable of fully competing. Many people are also discussing who in the country can completely secure a seat in those final strong events.
As for the national track and field team, due to the announcement of the IAAF, the track and field team directly convened a centralized meeting of the head coaches of each project and began to make new direction adjustments and deployments based on the standards currently announced by the IAAF.
This time, the person who came to the national team to preside over the meeting was Jiang Wentao, deputy director of the competition department of the Athletics Management Center.
There isn't too much empty talk in this conference discussion; only solid material is present.
As soon as Jiang Wentao sat down, the staff had already opened the official website of the IAAF, which showed the qualifying standards for each event.
Jiang Wentao didn't waste any words and said directly: "For this Doha standard, coaches who are confident that they can fully compete can report their numbers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the coaches present looked at each other tacitly, and then the coaches of strong domestic track and field events such as the men's and women's marathon, men's pole vault, men's long jump, women's shot put, discus, javelin, 20km race walking, and 50km race walking started speaking directly.
The assistants around Jiang Wentao wrote down the numbers one by one, and then Jiang Wentao nodded: "Okay, remember what you said, train the team members well, and do a good job of competition and coordination among the team members. The final selection criteria for the team members must be fair, just, and open..."
The coaches present nodded one after another. When Jiang Wentao was about to move on to the next thing, he suddenly saw Su Bai raising his hand out of the corner of his eye.
"Hmm?" Jiang Wentao looked at Su Bai strangely: "Coach Su, do you have anything to say?"
Su Bai thought about it, and then looked at Jiang Wentao seriously: "Director Jiang, for the men's 400-meter sprint, my personal goal is to have a full field."
?
! !
As soon as Su Bai said this, everyone present was shocked.
Not to mention Qiu Wen, the second-ranked athlete in the event, in the men's 400m event where the first-ranked athlete Zhang Ziyi is 0.13 seconds away from the qualifying standard, Su Bai's personal goal is to participate in the men's 400m sprint with a full field?
How is this possible? !
Jiang Wentao frowned, but still advised: "Coach Xiao Su, you have to think carefully before you speak."
After hearing Jiang Wentao's advice, Su Bai nodded: "Director Jiang, I think it very clearly."
The men's 400-meter athletes have improved a lot from their previous timid state in the face of foreign competitions, but they are still slightly lacking in self-confidence and momentum.
Although he has arranged joint training for the men's and women's teams in the 400-meter event, there is still a lack of sufficient stimulation for the male athletes.
Su Bai felt that meeting the standards for this World Championships might be a good opportunity.
The coaches present, such as Pei Jinan, who were familiar with Su Bai, all wanted to persuade Su Bai to shut up. After all, Jiang Wentao's words here meant that the data agreed by the coaches would be directly used as the qualification task for each event.
But before this, the 400-meter sprint event had never been burdened with these competition standard tasks, and Pei Jinan only told Su Bai from a personal perspective that he hoped the 400-meter sprint could gain a breakthrough in qualification - in other words, as long as Zhang Ziyi alone qualified, it would be an amazing breakthrough result.
But what about now?
Does this stupid boy Su Bai want to kill himself?
You know, this standard is now the task of coaches. If the coaches fail to complete the task data they promised, it will not be the athletes who will be punished, but the coaches themselves!
However, no matter what Pei Jinan thought, Su Bai still reported the data. After Jiang Wentao confirmed that Su Bai was serious, he solemnly asked his assistant to record the data of the men's 400-meter sprint.
Until the end of the meeting, many coaches were still confused.
Jiang Wentao patted Su Bai's shoulder seriously and said to him, "Coach Su, I'm waiting for your surprise!"
Su Bai did not hide this matter. After returning to the training ground, he directly called together the athletes participating in the winter training of the 400-meter event and stated his promise directly.
After hearing Su Bai's goal, not to mention how shocked others were, even Qiu Wen looked at Su Bai with a dull expression, and cried out in his heart - It's over, is Xiaobai crazy?
