Chapter 8
The opening test of the summer camp is on the third day after the camp starts.
When the opening test of the camp was finally about to begin, the coaches of the provincial sports team were much more excited than the students of the summer camp.
Especially the coaches in the sprint group, they are all ready to go, vowing to use their keen eyes to identify who the talented young player is who was recruited by Pei Dingshan on the first day of the camp!
As for the students, there is another issue that they are more concerned about.
"Wow, have you heard? During the camp closing test this time, three summer camp students will be selected from each event to participate in the 2017 National U16 Track and Field Base Elite Competition held at our S Province Sports Team Base!"
"???"
"What kind of game is this?"
"This is a competition for the youth groups of national sports schools and provincial sports teams. It is not open to the public and is held in turn at the track and field bases of each province. This year it is the turn of our S Province Sports Team to host it."
"Although this competition is not well-known, it is actually the most awesome competition in the U16 level. The top three athletes in each event of this year's U16 National Track and Field Championships are said to be invited to participate."
"Fuck, is it that awesome?"
At the edge of the noisy training ground, Zhou Yuang was also enthusiastically explaining to Su Yu and Jiang Yuan the value of the base elite competition.
“This is a rare U16 level promotion competition that we can directly participate in, and our results in the competition will be directly recognized as promotion results.”
"Normally, amateur athletes like us who haven't registered with the Athletics Association yet have to participate in a Level IV event and get a 2.5 grade before we can participate in the U-series advanced competition..."
Zhou Yuang said, and seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't seem to understand, he explained, "Generally, the U-series's level-up competitions are level III competitions, and level IV competitions are like its qualifying competitions. For example, in the 100-meter sprint, you must first get a score of at least 12.33 seconds in the qualifying competition to be eligible to participate in the level-up III competitions."
"In short, there aren't many opportunities like this to directly send the top three students in each event to the final test competition to participate in the advanced competition! Just for this, our summer camp is worth it!"
After listening to this explanation, Jiang Yuan nodded, roughly understanding the importance of this promotion competition, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck to you."
Zhou Yuang was stunned when he heard this, and was about to say that Jiang Yuan also had a chance, but he quickly remembered Su Yu.
Among the three of them, he and Jiang Yuan both have every chance to qualify for the advanced competition. Only Su Yu has no training foundation. Before the start of this summer camp, his best 100-meter result has not yet broken the 17.5-second mark, which is still far from the entry standard for the advanced competition.
Zhou Yuang calmed down now and scratched his head feeling a little embarrassed.
Among the three, Su Yu did not originally participate in the conversation between Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, but after Zhou Yuang suddenly became quiet, he frowned and looked at Jiang Yuan.
"elder brother."
"Hey!" Jiang Yuan immediately turned his head and looked at his little ancestor.
Su Yu frowned and looked at him with obvious unhappiness: "You go too."
Jiang Yuan was stunned and didn't react to what Su Yu was saying.
Su Yu frowned even more and stared at him and said, "Fight well in the closing competition, and you should also go to the promotion competition."
After a pause, he turned his head away and said in a hard tone, "Don't take care of me. I won't die."
Jiang Yuan hadn't reacted at first, but now he finally understood what Su Yu was saying, and his heart suddenly softened. It was like a spoiled little cat that had been raised only to scratch people, and suddenly exposed its belly for you to touch. Jiang Yuan immediately showed a big smile, raised his hand and rubbed Su Yu's hair, then hugged this younger brother that he had taken care of since he was a child.
Su Yu was very disgusted with him and started to struggle after he hugged her.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that Su Yu was about to get angry, Jiang Yuan immediately let go of the child in his arms with a smile, and said to him: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I participate or not."
At this time, Zhou Yuang, who had just stood aside without saying anything, patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, Yuanzi, you can't say that! Have you forgotten that our little ancestor and I are both training with Coach Pei? Our little ancestor also said that he wants to go professional, so if you want to take care of him, can you leave him behind?"
After Zhou Yuang said this, Jiang Yuan finally remembered this and nodded immediately: "You are right."
But after saying that, Jiang Yuan couldn't help laughing again: "But Angzi, judging from what you said, there is still a month before the qualifying round, and you make it sound like we will definitely be able to get into the top three."
Zhou Yuang chuckled: "Then we need to determine the target first!"
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yuan and Su Yu again: "Speaking of which, you two really have a good relationship."
Jiang Yuan nodded proudly: "Of course not, this is my little ancestor who I raised since he was a child!"
Zhou Yuang nodded with amusement: "Ah, yes, yes, she's still your child bride, right?"
Seeing that he was about to be beaten up by Jiang Yuan as soon as he said this, Zhou Yuang quickly changed the subject: "Hey, Xiaoyu, how are you today? I think you are much better than yesterday."
Su Yu glanced at Zhou Yuang and nodded.
After two days of training, when he woke up this morning, his condition was obviously much better than the day before - Pei Dingshan was right, he needed to let his body gradually adapt and find a training level that could both exercise him and not hurt his body.
Yesterday's training volume was slightly reduced compared to the first day. Although it was more difficult to train with a tired body yesterday, after the training yesterday, Pei Dingshan personally helped him with a muscle-soothing massage. His condition improved a lot that night, and when he got up today, he felt a rare sense of relaxation in his body.
Seeing Su Yu's obviously improved condition, Zhou Yuang was quite amazed: "Awesome, Xiao Yu, you've been able to adapt after only two days of training?"
Su Yu ignored him. He didn't think he was recovering very quickly.
Zhou Yuang put his hand on his shoulder and said to him: "Hey Xiaoyu, don't disbelieve me. Look, those who asked for leave and didn't attend the training yesterday are suffering from backaches today..."
He had just said half of this when the training ground suddenly became quiet. It turned out that a number of coaches had already walked together to the side of the training ground.
Walking in front of these coaches were Pei Dingshan, Wang Pengfei and Wang Changan. Another one was the head coach of this summer camp, Liu Wenjian, a senior coach of the long jump and high jump group next door.
As these coaches arrived, the discipline teachers from various schools who accompanied the summer camp also began to order the students to be quiet.
Today's opening test actually also served as an opening ceremony. Liu Wenjian, as the head coach, spoke briefly on the stage, but his speech was not long. Most of the time, he encouraged the students present to train well and strive to discover their potential during the summer camp. He also welcomed the students to apply for the provincial sports team's track and field team and so on.
After this brief training speech, the staff who had arrived quickly began to guide the trainees into the rhythm of the opening camp test. For a while, the training ground was filled with various commands of "get ready, get set, bang".
Outside the venue, the sprint coaches who had already arrived at the scene went to the side of the sprint test venue as the test began, and began to evaluate the students taking the test one by one.
"Is this it?"
"It doesn't look like it. His explosive power is average, his starting reaction is average, and his overall speed and endurance don't seem to be that good."
"It's hard to say. From the tone of Coach Wang's voice, we can tell that the good candidate chosen by Xiao Pei this time is an unexpectedly good candidate. In this case, excluding Zhou Yuang and Su Yu, the rest of the students are possible!"
"Well, if you say so, how can Su Yu be impossible? If it's him, wouldn't it be even more unexpected?"
The coach who had spoken earlier looked around and pointed at Su Yu who was standing behind the starting blocks not far away and preparing to start the test. He smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at this kid's skinny appearance. He doesn't look like a sprinter at all, does he?"
"Hey, I don't think so. Who knows, maybe it's really him?"
While the coaches were talking, Su Yu and the other students standing behind the starting blocks had already walked around to the front of the starting blocks at the starter's instruction and tentatively stepped on the front and rear pedals of the starting blocks, trying to find the feeling of exerting force when starting on the starting blocks.
In fact, in this summer camp, many students have never used starting blocks to start. Although Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei have explained the techniques of starting with starting blocks during the two days of training, the time is really limited and not many students have mastered the correct techniques.
Naturally, Su Yu was one of the students in the academy who had never learned any special starting techniques from the starting blocks, but in his previous life, after his health improved, he had briefly learned it in a physical education class at university. Now, as he stepped onto the starting blocks again, he surprisingly felt a sense of familiarity.
Beside the track, Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan were also observing Su Yu. Zhou Yuang looked at Su Yu's movements and nudged Jiang Yuan with his elbow: "Hey, Yuanzi, our little ancestor's starting stance is quite impressive!"
Jiang Yuan looked at Su Yu on the field and nodded seriously: "Xiao Yu is very serious."
Zhou Yuang smiled and said, "Oh, come to think of it, don't disbelieve me. Although Xiaoyu looks weak now, I always feel that if he really goes professional, he will definitely achieve good results in the future."
"Really? My intuition is right. Just trust me!"
As he was speaking, the starter on the field had already given the order: "Get ready, everyone."
"Bang--"
