Chapter 122
Pei Dingshan looked at the young man in front of him. In the past two years, Su Yu's health has improved a lot, but he has been sickly since childhood. Even though his health has improved a lot now, Su Yu still looks a little thinner than ordinary people, not to mention compared with the national team athletes around him.
But it is such a child who has to carry such a heavy burden on his shoulders.
In fact, if Pei Dingshan had followed his previous habits, he would not have told Su Yu all this so early. He would only arrange various competitions and training for Su Yu imperceptibly. As Su Yu's body gradually recovered and strengthened, his adaptability to the intensity of these competitions would also increase little by little in the process, so that Su Yu could gradually accept the intensity and burden of the competitions he needed to face.
Instead of telling all these things at once like he is doing now, letting Su Yu know his full plan.
In fact, even now, when he treats other players such as Zhou Yuang or Lin Zekai, he still adopts his usual approach and does not give these players too much room for choice.
…
Some thoughts flashed through Pei Dingshan's mind, but he quickly restrained them. He just looked at Su Yu calmly, waiting for Su Yu's feedback on these contents.
Pei Dingshan looked at the young man in front of him and said, "The responsibilities you will shoulder in the future will inevitably require you to hone yourself better in advance."
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, if you feel that the pressure is too great, then we must think about and evaluate which two projects are more suitable for your personal conditions and your future development."
Soon, Pei Dingshan saw Su Yu blinking in front of him, then shook his head seriously and said, "No need."
"No need to evaluate, I will try my best."
Whether it is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, Su Yu does not want to give up any of the events he is working hard for.
He knew that this might not be the best choice for him, but Su Yu always remembered the regret of "missing out" in his past life, so in this life, he didn't want to let himself miss out again, even if he needed to work a hundred times harder for his choice.

After the official schedule of the Asian Championships in Qatar was announced, the opening time of the Asian Championships on April 20 is getting closer and closer.
On April 15, the last training session of the Chinese team's training camp for the Asian Championships in Athletics ended, which also meant that the athletes' high-intensity training before the competition had also come to an end. In the following few days, in addition to flying from China to Doha, Qatar, the athletes only had some simple and fragmented pre-match training and adaptive training after arriving in Doha.
On April 16, China's Athletics Asian Championships delegation set off in full gear. After about 16 hours of flight and transfer, they finally arrived in Doha smoothly. Prior to that, the national team staff had already arrived in Doha and completed a series of work arrangements to welcome the subsequent large team.
Although this flight took a full 16 hours, Su Yu's condition seemed not much different from last season when he flew from China to Jakarta to participate in the Asian Games. Although he still looked sick when he got off the plane, his condition was much better than when he flew to Tampere, Finland to participate in the World Youth Championship.
Lin Zekai, who was sitting in the front and back seats with Su Yu during the flight, knew that Su Yu was prone to motion sickness. He wanted to help Su Yu and take care of this teammate who had been passively training with him during this period. Therefore, after getting off the plane, Lin Zekai said to Su Yu: "Xiao Yu, when we get to the hotel later, can we stay in the same room? Just call me if you need any help."
When Su Yu heard this, he was about to look up when he heard a cold "No need" from the side.
Lin Zekai turned his head in confusion and saw Pei Dingshan beside him rubbing Su Yu's head and saying, "Su Yu lives with me."
Lin Zekai was a little surprised to hear this. After all, for a national team-level expedition like this, the players and coaches usually have separate accommodations.
However, after hearing the conversation between Lin Zekai and Su Yu, Zhan Youming smiled and patted Lin Zekai on the shoulder: "Okay, leave Xiao Yu to Coach Xiao Pei. Don't you know? Coach Xiao Pei was the one who took care of Su Yu during the World Youth Championship and the Asian Games!"
"oh……!"
Lin Zekai scratched his head and felt embarrassed when he heard this.
That’s right. Coach Xiao Pei is Su Yu’s chief training coach. It would be best if he could be there to take care of Su Yu personally.
Su Yu frowned when he heard this. He felt that it was okay to live with anyone, but living with Pei Dingshan would indeed be more convenient for them to communicate, so he did not open his mouth to give any additional explanation.
Just as the Chinese team's players were picking up their luggage at the airport, coincidentally, at another airport carousel not far from the Chinese team, China's old rival, the Japanese team, also appeared at Doha Airport at the same time.
After seeing each other, the leaders of the Chinese and Japanese teams came forward and greeted each other enthusiastically with friendly smiles, as if they were good friends who had not seen each other for many years. However, the players on both sides might not be that friendly.
It's not that there are no one on both teams who have become friends through exchanges in the competition, but that China and Japan have always been on the verge of a tense situation in the event of track and field. Therefore, even if there are athletes on both sides who are familiar with each other, it is impossible for them to communicate with each other at this time.
As for how "friendly" are the exchanges between China and Japan in track and field events?
Just look at a well-known domestic track and field public account that published a news report about "China's Asian Championships team heading to Doha". You will know that it has to put a sentence "with the full lineups of the Chinese and Japanese teams" in the brackets of the title.
Whether the Chinese and Japanese teams like it or not, the two teams are strong rivals in the Asian track and field schedule in the eyes of all track and field fans and Chinese and Japanese media.
Of course, the reason why both teams are so concerned about their lineups in the Asian Championships this time is not only because of the traditional rivalry between China and Japan, but also because of another reason - it is also related to the World Championships.
As we all know, this Asian Championships is a warm-up match for the World Championships. The focus of this season is still on the World Championships at the end of the season. Most of the athletes of my country's track and field team participated in the Asian Championships in order to qualify for the World Championships.
But there is actually more than one way to qualify for the World Championships.
There are actually two ways to qualify for the World Championships. One is to achieve the qualifying scores required by the World Championships, which is the method previously adopted by Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Zhan Youming.
But for the Chinese and Japanese teams, not every event has the strength to qualify for the World Championships, such as the Chinese team's 400 meters and the Japanese team's current high jump and long jump.
So, apart from meeting the performance requirements, are there other ways to qualify for the World Championships?
some.
——When an athlete wins an individual championship at the Continental Championships, he or she will also be qualified for the World Championships in that event.
In other words, even if Japan's Tomoya Yamakawa cannot reach the World Championship qualifying score of 8.17 meters in the long jump event, if Yamakawa can win the Asian Championships men's long jump championship, he will also be able to get a ticket to the World Championships.
Of course, if you ask how Tomoya Yamakawa could win the long jump title at the Asian Championships if he couldn't even reach 8.17 meters, that's another question.
In fact, the Chinese team also holds the idea of obtaining tickets to the World Championships in some events through the Asian Championships, and of course also has the idea of preventing the Japanese team from winning the championship in some events.
Because of this, even though Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Zhan Youming have already qualified for the World Championships in their respective events, they still appeared on the list of participants for the Asian Championships.
The Chinese team has also considered this. Since Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and others have already obtained the qualification, should they consider allowing other players of the Chinese team to try to sprint for individual championships and strive for the qualification for the World Championships?
But in the end, considering that, whether it is 100 meters or 200 meters, the Chinese team, except Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Zhan Youming, currently has no players who can compete for the Asian Championships championship level, and finally decided to maintain the current lineup.
At this time, while the team leaders from both China and Japan were greeting each other cordially and friendly, the Chinese and Japanese media who happened to be at the scene to film both teams naturally also took good photos of their respective team lineups.
For the Japanese media, their focus is of course Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming, Zhan Youming and other famous players of the Chinese team. Of course, now for the Japanese audience, the Chinese team has added a player named 'Su·Son of the Wolf·Wild Eyes·Yu' to the team.
Today's Japanese media have become accustomed to Su Yu's pale face after getting off the plane, and will never report similar news such as "The Sorrow of Wolf Son" again.
After all, the wolf sons of the Chinese team are really cunning. They are obviously extremely tired when arriving at each voyage and seem to be about to faint at any time. However, in the competition a few days later, they can set new best results one after another, which is surprising.
fraud!
This is a big liar from the Chinese team!
These Japanese media now feel that they strongly agree with the title of "fraudulent actor" that the British players have given Su Yu - such inconsistent behavior shows that he is indeed a huge liar!
But even if he is a liar, you still have to take the photos you need to take.
This "big liar" of the Chinese team is extremely popular among Japanese track and field fans. Whenever there is news about Su Yu, it will receive a strong response from track and field fans.
What's more, in this Asian Championships, this 'big liar' of the Chinese team not only participated in the men's 200m event, but also the men's 400m event!
Previously, when the Chinese team's Asian Championships roster was released, not only track and field fans in China were shocked, but even track and field fans in Japan were shocked by the new roster of the Chinese team.
--【What? ! Su Yu? Why is Su Yu's name also on the Chinese team's men's 400m event? ! 】
——[Isn’t this really the same name? ! 】
——[From 100 meters to 200 meters and then to 400 meters? Does the Wolf Son want to sweep all sprint events? 】
——[I have confirmed it, it is indeed not the same name, but the same person - after all, it is impossible for the Chinese team to have another player named Su Yu who is only 16 years old, right? 】
——[But isn’t the Chinese team really crazy? They actually let the Wolf Son participate in the two individual events of 400 and 200 meters? 】
——【emmm, in fact, it is understandable that the Chinese team would make such a choice. The Chinese team already has top players in the 100m and 200m, but in the 400m, there is still no talent worthy of praise. 】
——【But even if there are no more talents worthy of praise, we can’t just let the Wolf Son take over, right? He is only 16 years old this year. Can his physical fitness really support his performance in the two individual events of 400 meters and 200 meters? Perhaps this will cause him to eventually underperform in both events? 】
In short, after the Chinese team's roster was released, the intensity of the discussion among these Japanese track and field fans was no less intense than that of the Chinese athletes.
When these Japanese track and field fans first saw the list, they all thought that Su Yu's strength in the 400m might not be that good. However, after some Japanese track and field fans posted the recordings of Su Yu's 400m preliminaries and semifinals on the Japanese Internet, many Japanese track and field fans fell silent.
46.18 seconds, this is a level that can rank in the top ten even in Japan.
What's more, Chinese audiences can see that Su Yu is letting the water go, and Japanese audiences who have done in-depth research on Su Yu certainly cannot fail to see this.
Therefore, more speculations began to circulate among Japanese track and field fans - does this terrible devil from China want to completely dominate the sprint event and crush Japan's sprint event? !
***
The Japanese reporters interviewing at the airport wanted to immediately go up and conduct a pre-match interview with the Wolf Sons of the Chinese team, but it was obvious that the current occasion was not suitable, so these Japanese reporters could only regretfully take a photo of Su Yu and then publish it as a separate page.
Completely different from the original title #The Sorrow of the Son of Wolf#, this time the title given to Su Yu's photo by the Japanese media is - "The Son of Wolf arrives in Doha in high spirits! In great shape! 》
——The picture shows Su Yu, who just got off the plane and looked a little sick, and was being taken care of by Pei Dingshan.
Japanese people:?
Japanese people: ...Is there something wrong with the current media?
Compared with Japanese media, Chinese media reports are much more simple - "The Chinese track and field team has arrived in Doha safely, and their style remains undiminished despite the tiring journey! 》
As for who is tired from the journey and who is more charming, that is up to the readers to figure out.
***
Although Su Yu knew that there were media at the airport, he had just got off the plane and did not have much energy to pay attention to these things - after all, even though he had adapted to long-distance flights much better than before, it did not mean that he would not feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, there is a 5-hour time difference between China and Doha. The fatigue caused by the time difference and the fatigue from flying combined together, although Su Yu's condition may not be very bad, it is definitely not very good.
Pei Dingshan, who was accompanying Su Yu, also noticed Su Yu's discomfort, so he stood up the suitcase he had taken out as usual and pressed Su Yu onto the suitcase. Su Yu, perhaps because he had grown a year older, felt that sitting on the suitcase looked a bit childish, so he pursed his lips and was not very happy. However, he was indeed uncomfortable, so he did not resist after being pushed down by Pei Dingshan.
There seemed to be some problems with some of the checked luggage today, so the waiting time was a bit long. Later, even when Su Yu was sitting on the suitcase, his head was nodding. Pei Dingshan noticed Su Yu's condition and simply stood beside Su Yu and put his arm around him, letting him lean on him and relax for a while. Su Yu's resting appearance was also photographed by the Japanese media, but even so, the Japanese media still gave a report that "the son of wolf is in high spirits" - probably because of the subsequent tragic situation of the reporter who reported "the sorrow of the son of wolf" and became overly vigilant_(:зゝ∠)_
Finally, although the luggage was a little slow, after waiting for half an hour, the remaining luggage came out one after another. The Chinese team's players finally picked up all their luggage and boarded the organizer's bus that the Chinese team staff had contacted to take the players to the official hotel.
Although it is only late April now, Doha, Qatar has a typical tropical climate. Even in April, the temperature has reached more than ten degrees at night and may rise to around 30 degrees during the day.
It is precisely because of the climate in Doha, Qatar that the Asian Championships and the World Championships were scheduled in April and October respectively. This World Championships also set a record for the latest start month in all history of the World Championships.
But apart from anything else, after Su Yu left the airport and enjoyed the local night breeze of Doha, he might have rested enough at the airport, so after getting on the bus, he felt much better than before.
Jiang Yuan, who boarded the bus first, looked back and rubbed Su Yu's head, then asked with a smile, "Feeling better?"
Su Yu nodded and said "hmm".
Jiang Yuan saw his expression and smiled and said, "That's good."
After seeing Su Yu approach Pei Dingshan, Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of Su Yu, then turned his head to look in the direction of Pei Dingshan, and then shook his head slightly.
When the two brothers went out to participate in competitions, he was the one who took care of Su Yu. But unknowingly, it was Pei Dingshan who was taking care of them.
But there was really no other way. After all, he and Su Yu were teammates across different events, and they might not even be able to train on the same training ground. In addition, they had different career development plans and competition arrangements, and especially as they grew at different paces, it was impossible for him to take care of Su Yu in every detail like he did when they were children.
But it is different for coaches. For athletes, the relationship between them and their coaches is often very close, especially since Su Yu was discovered by Pei Dingshan himself from the S Province Sports Team. Now Pei Dingshan only has two players, Xiaoyu and Zhou Yuang. The energy and emotions that the coach invests in the players will be different from the future.
…
Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking about this, Lin Zekai, who was a little restless beside him, asked curiously: "Jiang Yuan, the competition will start in a few days, are you nervous?"
This is Lin Zekai's first time participating in an international competition. Even though it is only an Asian-level intercontinental competition, it does not prevent him from being a little nervous before the game.
This is also Jiang Yuan's first time to participate in an international competition. He did not qualify for the Asian Games last season. However, Sun Yuhang did not participate in the high jump event in this Asian Championships. In addition to Zhang Xujian, the other player who replaced Sun Yuhang's qualification was naturally Jiang Yuan.
The reason for this is that Sun Yuhang and the Chinese team have great ambitions for this World Championships, so Pei Yongsheng and Sun Yuhang's overseas coaching team have developed a new season overseas training and competition plan for him - after all, with Sun Yuhang's current strength, domestic competitions are no longer of any significance to him. This season he will frequently travel back and forth between European countries to participate in competitions, and at most will return to China in May to participate in a domestic Diamond League. The rest of the time he will frantically play overseas competitions, and adjust his condition through high-frequency competition stimulation, and strive to achieve an ideal result in the World Championships in October.
Therefore, under Sun Yuhang's plan to win gold in the World Championships, neither the national team nor the General Administration of Sport will use the schedule of the Asian Championships to interfere with him.
Coincidentally, Jiang Yuan also needed to try to qualify for the World Championships in the high jump event, so this spot fell to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan heard Lin Zekai’s question—Are you nervous?
Jiang Yuan thought about it and smiled: "Of course I'm nervous, why not?"
Hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, Lin Zekai was surprised: "Jiang Yuan, are you nervous too? I really can't tell from your face at all!"
Hearing Lin Zekai's surprised question, Jiang Yuan smiled and did not answer.
In fact, if it were him last season, he might not have felt nervous, but as he trained longer and gained a deeper understanding of events like high jump and long jump, Jiang Yuan increasingly felt how lucky he was to have achieved the results brought about by his talent in the past two seasons.
Because of his talent, his starting point in these two events is naturally much higher than other players. Some players may not be able to reach his "starting point" throughout their careers.
But if he really indulged in his own talent and neglected the pursuit of project technology and basics, then his current results should be the peak of his career.
This kind of "peak of career" sounds good now, but what about in a few years?
You know, at the current peak of his career, he is not even the best in the country - for example, in long jump, there are at least five long jumpers headed by Chen Zexin who are stronger than him, and there are new talented players behind him. Although these talented players may not be able to beat him at the moment, what about the future?
Currently, the Chinese men's long jump national record, which is also the long jump continental record, is held by Chen Zexin at 8.49 meters;
Currently, the Chinese men's high jump national record is 2.39 meters held by Sun Yuhang.
Going further up, the world record for men's long jump is 8.95 meters, set by an American athlete, and the world record for men's high jump is 2.45 meters, set by a Cuban athlete.
The more you understand, the more in awe you feel, and eventually you will start to feel nervous - but nervousness does not mean being afraid of the competition, but facing known difficulties head-on and challenging yourself towards your goals step by step.
Jiang Yuan thought of this and looked at Su Yu in front of him.
As his younger brother who grew up with him, although they did not train in the same training ground, he was always concerned about Su Yu's situation.
Although he had never mentioned it to anyone, Jiang Yuan was probably the only person besides Pei Dingshan and Su Yu who knew about their plans for the Asian Championships.
After all, he knew Su Yu too well since he was a child - this was a child who was sick but still persisted in completing his "goals", just like his studies in the past and the competition now.
Speaking of academics - the principal of their No. 12 Middle School once thought that Su Yu's academic performance would decline to some extent after he devoted himself to training and competitions, but in fact, Su Yu was in the national team. In addition to training during the day, after training in the evening, Su Yu never missed a single class of the remote classes prepared for them by the teachers in the school.
From the time he joined the national team to the present two seasons, his performance may have had some ups and downs due to training and competition conditions, but Su Yu is still the academic god who stands at the top of the legend of No. 12 Middle School and even S City.
Zhong Wen had complained to them during the winter break - this academic genius was really outrageous. He crushed the entire grade in the final exam before the winter break, and while he broke records in the World Youth Championship and the Asian Games, he also took first place in the grade. Was this kind of life a bit too much?
But even though they wailed, the students in their class were still very proud when talking about Su Yu's grades.
——Did you see it? What's this? Genius of study! From our class!
——Did you see it? What's this? World Youth Championship champion, men's 100m U18 world record holder, men's 200m U20 national record holder, and academic genius, from our class!
In short, even though everyone in the national team heard that the team wanted Su Yu to maintain his 200-meter result and could let him off a little in the 400-meter, Jiang Yuan knew that Su Yu would not do that.
With Su Yu's character, even if the challenge ahead is as difficult as ascending to heaven, he will start to calculate step by step what method he should use to achieve the effect of "ascending to heaven".
He thought, perhaps it was because he had watched Su Yu like this since he was a child, that when he was facing difficulties and challenges now, he had the same idea as Su Yu - even if the goal he wanted to challenge was as difficult as ascending to the sky, he had to climb it!
Sitting next to his seat, Lin Zekai listened to Jiang Yuan saying "nervous" with a smile on his face, but he always felt that the "nervous" in Jiang Yuan's mouth and the "nervous" in his mouth were probably not the same concept and type.
***
There was no chatting during the rest of the journey as everyone was a little tired. After arriving at the official hotel, they didn't even have the energy to praise the luxury of the local official hotel in Doha. They quickly checked in with the help of the Chinese team staff and returned to their rooms to rest.
Su Yu was so tired that he fell asleep on the bus just now, and he was not very awake after arriving at the hotel. Fortunately, Pei Dingshan was with him, who helped him complete all the procedures. Then he said hello to the other coaches and took Su Yu upstairs to rest.
Fortunately, although Su Yu was very tired due to the long-distance journey, after a night's rest, he felt much better when he woke up the next day.
When Su Yu woke up, the first thing he saw was Pei Dingshan, who had woken up earlier than him and was drinking coffee at the desk in the hotel room.
Su Yu sometimes felt that Pei Dingshan's energy was so strong that it was a little scary. He was worthy of being a guy who could obtain the Lyles certification at Lyles College and become a meritorious coach of the national team at a young age in the future.
In fact, think about it, if Pei Dingshan did not have such brains, talent, energy, hard work and self-control, how could he have obtained a graduate degree and completed the studies and certification at Lyles College at such a young age?
Pei Dingshan was drinking coffee and looking at the information on the laptop in front of him. He caught a glimpse of Su Yu looking a little distracted after waking up. He thought it was quite cute to see the child looking a little confused when he just woke up.
After watching for a while, Pei Dingshan smiled and asked, "Are you awake? Or haven't you gotten enough sleep?"
Su Yu blinked slowly, retracting his wild thoughts, and replied, "Awake."
When he just woke up, his voice was slightly nasal. He didn't sound as cold as usual, but rather like he wasn't very happy because he didn't get enough sleep.
After hearing this, Pei Dingshan paused and said, "If you haven't gotten enough sleep, you can sleep a little longer."
When Su Yu heard Pei Dingshan's words, he looked at him slightly strangely - is this what a good coach should say?
But he didn't really complain about it, because he knew that it was because of his airsickness the day before, so Pei Dingshan wanted him to rest for a while longer.
So he shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, no need, I'm awake."
Hearing the child's insistence, Pei Dingshan no longer had the intention of letting Su Yu continue to rest, so he nodded to him and said, "I have sorted out the list of participants and related information for the 400m and 200m races. You can come and take a look if you are free in the next two days."
After hearing this, Su Yu nodded seriously to Pei Dingshan: "Thank you."
Pei Dingshan smiled but said nothing. He knew that Su Yu had a stubborn personality. Even if he kept saying that it was his duty and there was no need to thank him, Su Yu would still insist on expressing his gratitude.
In fact, Su Yu did think so.
Because although this is Pei Dingshan's responsibility, most coaches will not collect information as carefully as Pei Dingshan, which is a very tedious and time-consuming task. After the official group list came out, Pei Dingshan has collected and sorted out these fragmented joys in less than a week. He also has other work to do...
Just for this reason, Su Yu felt that he had to sincerely thank Pei Dingshan.
If saying "thank you" was not because it would make Pei Dingshan feel less old, Su Yu would definitely express his sincere gratitude to Pei Dingshan with this honorific.
Pei Dingshan didn’t know what was going on in the child’s mind. If he knew, he would probably fall silent again.
Fortunately, Su Yu didn't say anything, so Pei Dingshan didn't know what was going on in Su Yu's mind.
After Su Yu finished washing up, Pei Dingshan sent him downstairs to have breakfast. After breakfast, Su Yu returned to the room and discussed the men's 400m event of the Asian Championships with Pei Dingshan.
The reason why we first studied the men's 400m event was mainly because among the two contestants in the 400m this time, Su Yu was actually the stronger one, which was different from Su Yu's situation in the 200m.
In the 400m race, he actually played the role of 'Zhan Youming' in the 200m event with Zhan Youming.
Even if the national team allows him to slack off a bit, Su Yu has already prepared to challenge for better results as much as possible. Therefore, when he is fully preparing for both the 400m and 200m events at the same time, event information becomes particularly important.
Among the data collected by Pei Dingshan, some were basic information that had already been known before, including that there were actually only 28 participants in the men's 400m event in this Asian Championships.
"...In the preliminaries, just run a little slower than you did in the finals of the G Province Z City Grand Prix."
Pei Dingshan is sorting out Su Yu's physical fitness and condition for the preliminaries and semi-finals.
Although the level of the Asian Championships is not high and there are relatively few participants, you can tell from Pei Dingshan's words that even if it is just the preliminaries of the Asian Championships, Su Yu needs to give his performance in the final stage of the National Track and Field Grand Prix in G Province, Z City, China.
Even though Pei Dingshan said it was "slightly slower" than in the finals, the implication was very clear - if Su Yu ran according to the 46.86 seconds in the preliminaries, it might be difficult to guarantee advancement to the semifinals.
Pei Dingshan made such a judgment based on the information he collected about the contestants, including the data that Su Yu had just briefly looked at. After he went through it in his mind, the conclusion he came to was almost the same as Pei Dingshan's.
In other words, even though he had ranked first in the preliminaries of the National Athletics Grand Prix, it was difficult for him to advance in the preliminaries of the Asian Championships.
In that preliminary round, except for him, all the other athletes failed to run under 47 seconds.
Even without talking about the preliminaries, let's just talk about the final. In that final, the Chinese team's athletes can be said to have played the most beautiful 400-meter event in China in recent years. But even so, if their results were put in the Asian Championships, even if it was only the preliminaries, not many of them would qualify for the semifinals.
This is the current situation of the Chinese team in the 400m event.
Su Yu silently said "hmm", and continued to listen to Pei Dingshan's analysis. While listening to Pei Dingshan's analysis, his brain was also calculating rapidly, and his brows were getting more and more furrowed.
Pei Dingshan smiled after seeing the tangled expression on Su Yu's face and asked, "Did you see that?"
Su Yu looked at the data on the notebook and hummed in a depressed tone.
It is because the standards of various track and field events around the world have been improving in the past two years, and the men's 400-meter sprint is no exception. Therefore, Su Yu can see that the PBs of those athletes who have a chance of advancing to the semi-finals are all within 46 seconds, and it can even be said that most of them are within 45.80 seconds.
That is to say, even if the performances of these players vary, if they want to advance to the finals, they must ensure that they can run at least within 46 seconds in the semi-finals - or, at least within 45.80 seconds, in order to relatively stably guarantee their qualification for the finals.
Just to advance from the semifinals to the finals, you need to be able to break 45.80 seconds...
Thinking of this, Su Yu frowned.
Pei Dingshan glanced at him and asked, "Are you worried?"
Su Yu pursed his lips, and although he frowned, he still said firmly: "I will try my best!"
…
At the same time, while Su Yu and Pei Dingshan were discussing these data, on the Japanese team's floor in the official hotel, the Japanese team's coaches and players were also discussing this wolf son from China -
