Chapter 15
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the side of the track.
"Fuck, so fast?"
"Has Zhou Yuang's start been so smooth before?"
Both the summer camp students and the coaches standing by showed surprise on their faces. The students were surprised by Zhou Yuang's speed, which not only did not seem slow at all, but even felt smoother than his previous starts.
The coaches naturally looked at something deeper - after changing his active power leg, Zhou Yuang not only did not have difficulty adapting to this huge technical adjustment, but even his speed did not drop significantly. This not only shows Zhou Yuang's strong ability to learn and adapt to new technologies, but also means that the new active power leg may indeed be more suitable for him.
But this...
The coaches looked at each other in bewilderment. Doesn’t this mean that Zhou Yuang’s talent is still top-notch, and it will be even more difficult for Su Yu to beat Zhou Yuang? !
On the track, Liao Weiwei, who was competing in the same group as Zhou Yuang, performed quite well in the starting stage. His explosive power even seemed to be better than Zhou Yuang before he changed his active leg. Therefore, he even took the lead briefly in the starting burst stage. However, after the short burst stage, Liao Weiwei soon began to appear to be running out of steam. As soon as he entered the mid-run stage, he slowed down significantly and could not maintain his previous state.
Compared with him, after a whole summer camp cycle of training and adjustment, although his speed in the starting burst stage has not reached the peak state before the technical reform, Zhou Yuang's overall technique is much more solid than before. Although he is slightly behind in the starting burst stage, he has excellent physical conditions and has undergone systematic technical combing. In terms of personal ability, his stability alone is far better than Liao Weiwei.
At the side of the track, Xu Ziqi was still watching the duel between Zhou Yuang and Liao Weiwei on the track. However, from the mid-run stage, Liao Weiwei's decline gradually became apparent. He also noticed from the corner of his eye that Su Yu had left the track and went to the pre-race preparation area for the second group of races.
Of course, he knew this "little ancestor" in the words of Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan in dormitory 303, and he also knew that he was the weakest student in the camp when the summer camp started.
He was originally dissatisfied with not being able to meet Zhou Yuang in the preliminary round, but after seeing Su Yu, he suddenly felt that he didn't mind defeating Zhou Yuang's "little ancestor" first, and then defeating Zhou Yuang who defeated Liao Weiwei in the final stage.
Not far away, Jiang Yuan, after completing his first round of long jump and high jump, walked towards Su Yu while other students were still in the first round of competition.
"Xiao Yu, is your test about to begin?"
"Um."
When facing Jiang Yuan, Su Yu acts like a docile kitten most of the time. Although he has a bad temper, he is easy to coax.
Jiang Yuan smiled and rubbed his head: "So what are you thinking about now?"
When Su Yu heard this, he turned his head to look at the first group of 100-meter test race which had ended not far away, and then looked at Zhou Yuang who crossed the finish line first with a bright smile on his face. After finding him and Jiang Yuan, he waved to them with his big white teeth showing.
Su Yu looked at Zhou Yuang in the distance in silence. After a moment, he said, "I want to win."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Yu's words, but the young man in front of him was still whispering.
"I thought I was just unwilling to give up, so I wanted to try again, but I suddenly felt that I didn't want to lose to those annoying guys... Bro, I want to win."
Jiang Yuan glanced at the young man in front of him. His handsome eyes and brows revealed his signature stubborn look. It was the kind of stubbornness that had characterized him since he was a child and he had been unwilling to admit defeat and would insist on completing every goal and task of his even if he was in poor health.
Jiang Yuan then remembered a sentence that Liu Wenjian had repeatedly emphasized to him when he was coaching him during this period of time - a strong desire to win is the driving force that pushes an athlete to keep moving forward.
He then smiled and rubbed the boy's head: "Okay, I'll watch you win here."
On the track ahead, the first group of test runners had already recorded their final performance data, and the assistant coach in charge of officiating on site was already gathering the second group of preliminaries.
After patting Su Yu on the shoulder, Jiang Yuan signaled his little ancestor that it was time to step forward. Su Yu hummed muffledly and walked to the preparation area for the second group of preliminaries.
Soon, in front of the starting line, the seven test students were all in position, and began to adjust their starting blocks at the signal of the referee. After all, the current game was just a test match at the end of the summer camp. Although most of the participating students were very excited, they were all very relaxed. Even Xu Ziqi, who was determined to beat Zhou Yuang's "little ancestor" first, did not seem to be very focused.
After all, in his eyes, Su Yu's result in the opening test match 38 days ago was only 13.32 seconds. Su Yu might be able to rely on two days of technical correction to quickly and drastically improve his result from more than 17 seconds to 13.32 seconds before the opening test match. But just like those top athletes who want to break through the results from 10 seconds to less than 10 seconds but face great difficulties, on this short 100-meter track, where can Su Yu have so many 3 seconds to make quick breakthroughs again and again?
In the relaxed atmosphere, only Su Yu, who was standing on the third lane, was seriously preparing for this seemingly ordinary preliminary round of the camp test match.
Pei Dingshan had already stood outside the track to watch the game without him noticing. After observing Su Yu's condition, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.
Some of the short-distance running coaches nearby also observed Su Yu's condition and exclaimed "eh", then looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
The coach who noticed Pei Dingshan's appearance immediately looked at Su Yu who was already crouching on the starting blocks, then looked at Pei Dingshan beside him and said, "Little Pei, did you come to see this good seedling you've chosen?"
After all, Pei Dingshan did not show up in the previous test of Zhou Yuang's group, but when Su Yu came on the court, Pei Dingshan showed up, which inevitably caused these coaches to make fun of him.
Pei Dingshan said calmly: "The team from Province G arrived this morning, and Coach Wang asked me to help receive the team from Province G."
"The team from Province G has arrived?"
The sprint team coach was stunned.
The National U16 Base Competition in two days is very close. Teams from other provinces have arrived one after another in the past few days. This is not surprising, but the team from Province G that arrived today is a little special. As a nationally renowned sprinting province, more than half of the country's current sprint champions are produced by teams from Province G, including Ye Minghao, the young player with the greatest potential in the current U16 age group, who also comes from Province G.
The 15-year-old from Province G ran the 100m in 10.56 seconds at this year's National Youth Track and Field Championships. This result has far surpassed many adult players and reached the national first-class athlete standard. He is even only 0.06 seconds away from reaching the standard of a master-level athlete.
More importantly, this result is only 0.06 seconds away from my country's U16 men's 100m national record.
Just one step away.
This young player from Province G is about to break the record that has stood for 37 years.
At the same time, according to the coach of the junior group in Province G, Ye Minghao has already broken the 10.50 mark in daily training. As long as he maintains his excellent form, he may break this dusty record in official competitions at any time.
For the provincial team coaches of Province S, or for any coach who wants to bring out outstanding players, this is a talented player who is hard not to be attracted by.
"That Ye Minghao is here too, right?"
"The coaching team in Province G is really good at selecting and training young players. I wonder if Ye Minghao can run a record-breaking performance in the base race the day after tomorrow?"
Everyone was talking at once, and someone smiled and said to Pei Dingshan, "Coach Wang specially called you out to show off, right? After all, the provincial team of Province G also tried hard to invite you to join, but you finally chose our team."
Pei Dingshan nodded calmly, then turned his attention to the track in front of him.
In front of the starting line, seven contestants had already squatted on their respective starting blocks at the starter's command. The trainees' preparatory movements were now much more professional than before, but after all they had only been training for a short time, and they all still had a lot of problems. Among them, the ones with the most standard movements were Su Yu and Xu Ziqi in the third and fifth lanes.
"The kid on the fifth path is called Xu Ziqi, right? I heard from Pengfei that this kid has pretty good aptitude."
"The one on the third lane is Su Yu, right?"
"The starting position is pretty standard."
Amid the coaches' whispered discussions, the athletes at the starting line had already gotten into ready positions following the starter's instructions. Most of the coaches didn't think there was anything special about Su Yu's starting posture. However, a few unfamiliar faces who looked like young athletes not far away noticed that there was a test here, so they came over to watch the fun.
One of them looked at the 15 or 16-year-old contestant and uttered a "huh" when his eyes swept over Su Yu. However, before he could take a closer look, the test was about to officially begin.
After the command of "Ready", the crisp sound of a starting gun was heard in an instant.
"Bang!"
This test officially began after the gunshot!
In the fifth lane, Xu Ziqi did not underestimate his opponent. After the starting gun sounded, he quickly stepped on the ground and swung his legs to rush forward quickly. But if someone checked the starting reaction time data recorded on the starting blocks, they would find that Xu Ziqi, who seemed to have a stronger and more active start on the field, actually ranked only second in the starting reaction time.
The one who reacted the fastest in this game was the student in the third lane - Su Yu.
Beside the track, the players from the G Province Youth Team who had come to join in the fun also showed some surprise: "This reaction speed is really fast."
Ye Minghao, who was surrounded by a crowd, now had his attention completely focused on the young man on the field in front of him. Perhaps it was a natural wild intuition, he smelled the scent of a strong rival from this overly handsome boy!
