The other athletes were dejected and scolded by their coach.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. I saw everything clearly on the field just now. You were careless and underestimated them, right? Don't you think about it? They are contestants from the Capital Gymnasium. Can people from the capital come here blindly?" In fact, to be embarrassed, even they themselves made this mistake.
“Teacher, I was just confused by this kid’s appearance. I was a little careless when I started running. Otherwise, I would definitely not have lost.” The young athlete who was scolded was somewhat unwilling.
"Hehe, that's better than singing. Do you know what I just ran? I'm telling you, 20.17 in the 200 meters! What's your best time? Do you want me to tell you? You've been an athlete for years, so you know what this result means, right?"
The athlete who was scolded by the teacher immediately lowered his head, his face flushed with shame. His best result in training was only 22.98 seconds in the 200-meter sprint.
Although the opponent's result may be a little worse in the Olympics, it will definitely stand out in the Asian Games.
The gap between him and An Xiaojun is huge. After training to their level, every improvement of 0.1 second is extremely difficult!
The young man suddenly had no excuse for his mistake and could only lower his head dejectedly and accept the scolding.
The coaches and athletes from other provinces and cities were facing almost the same situation at this time.
Others didn't know An Xiaojun's background, but the team from Huai Province knew it very well.
This was the sports base where Jiang Wei originally wanted to recruit An Xiaojun.
"Old Jiang, it looks like our hopes in track and field competitions depend on Xiaojun."
No one else knew about An Xiaojun's situation, and some even looked down on him because of his age and height. However, these coaches from Huai Province had all heard of An Xiaojun's name. The leaders of the entire base even held a special meeting for this purpose. Who knew that in the end, the Capital Gymnasium would intercept him and even transfer away the outstanding coaches in their province.
If it weren't for the words of the Capital Gymnasium's leaders, and the reluctance to let go of such a talented person, the conditions at the Capital Gymnasium are indeed better than those at local provincial and municipal gymnasiums, otherwise they would not be willing to let go of such a good seedling.
Judging from the competitions over the past two days, this promising young player has begun to grow up, and the people at the Capital Gymnasium have indeed trained him very well.
"Just wait, Lao Zhou, Xiaojun won't let you down. After all, Xiaojun was discovered by me." When Xiaojun shines in the track and field arena and wins glory for the country, Jiang Wei will also be proud!
After today's qualifying match, he is more confident in An Xiaojun's performance in the Asian Games!
As for the little incident with his starting posture during the preliminaries, he didn't take it seriously. Xiaojun usually trained alone most of the time, so he needed someone to remind him when he was a little slow during the preliminaries.
But if Xiaojun saw others taking the preparatory stance in this kind of competition, he would definitely follow suit.
Although Li Jiahua and Du Shijun also trained together, each of them had a different training plan, so An Xiaojun trained alone most of the time.
"You ran well, Xiaojun." An Jingzhi rubbed the head of his son, who had grown to his chin.
In view of the other party's good performance, An Jingzhi did not mind the sweat on his forehead. However, after touching An Xiaojun's head, he patted Li Jiahua's shoulder calmly, pretending to encourage him, and wiped the sweat on his hand on Li Jiahua's shoulder.
Li Jiahua had a silly smile on his face, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
"Don't worry, Uncle An, I won't take it to heart. Only through competition can I discover my shortcomings. Next, I will continue to train hard and strive to break Xiaojun's record as soon as possible."
Although An Jingzhi is indeed the elder of Li Jiahua and Du Shijun in terms of age, his personality is eccentric and he doesn't like to show off his authority as an elder. Instead, he gets along with the two of them like a brother.
"I'm glad you think so, Sergeant. You also need to keep training hard."
Du Shijun looked at his shoulder, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly.
It’s not because they don’t want to train or are frustrated. After all, they have been training with An Xiaojun and have long been impressed by his incredible running speed. They have become accustomed to it.
The reason why he had this expression was purely because he saw the whole process with his own eyes. He saw how An Jingzhi used the excuse of encouraging Li Jiahua to wipe the sweat off his hands on Li Jiahua's shoulders, and how he patted his shoulders.
Logically speaking, both of them would be covered in sweat after exercising, and I don’t know how Uncle An found a clean place to wipe his hands.
As they interacted with each other, he also saw how An Jingzhi and An Xiaojun got along with each other.
They had long understood that the other party was not the kind of elder they stereotyped.
He originally thought that with a son like this, as a father he would definitely carefully protect his son's self-esteem. However, An Jingzhi did the opposite. Not only did he not treat his son specially, but he also ordered his son around with ease.
An Xiaojun was happy to see it happen and was happy to be ordered around, without any dissatisfaction.
Once, Du Shijun couldn't help but ask An Jingzhi, and he is still impressed by his answer.
"If you were a person with a disability, would you want others to treat you like a normal person, or would you want them to treat you with caution? Would you want to see people show you sympathy?"
At that time, Du Shijun was like being struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Indeed, if you put yourself in their shoes and think about it, if you have defects, you certainly don’t want others to always look at you with sympathy. Even if it is well-intentioned, it will only make you feel that you are different from others!
Those sympathetic eyes would only turn into sharp swords that stung people. And An Jingzhi's equal approach of not treating others specially but using them at will was exactly what this kind of people needed.
The competition was successfully completed. In addition to An Xiaojun, two athletes from other provinces also obtained places to participate.
After securing his place in the competition, An Xiaojun's training content doubled.
Seeing An Jingzhi, I couldn't help but lick my teeth. Fortunately, he didn't have to train and was just a coach who ate and drank for free.
The more tired they were during training, the more delicious the rice in his bowl tasted.
An Xiaojun doubled his training, and Li Jiahua and Du Shijun, who failed the preliminaries, did not relax either, and their training volume also increased.
Every time they looked up at the stands next to them while running out of breath, they would always see the man eating with a bowl of rice and enjoying the delicious food, which made them hate him so much.
