Chapter 143 Press Conference

Su Bingtian's results in the two indoor competitions in the United States were not ideal.

Changing the starting foot is not so easy to adapt to. In the first week of winter training at IMG Academy, Su Bingtian could not even outrun some women's 100-meter athletes.

At that time, Su Bingtian was ashamed because no matter what, in 2011, he could raise his leg at a level of 10.3 seconds. This was a strength beyond the reach of the women's 100-meter world record.

As a result, in the IMG Academy, I lost against female athletes whose strength was around 11 seconds to 11 seconds and 5 seconds. It was really embarrassing.

Later, Su Bingtian said this in an interview program: "When I first changed my feet, I couldn't exert any force. Because the previous technology was very mature, it went out automatically as soon as it was turned on, just like turning on a computer.

.Now the system has crashed and I don’t know how to run.”

"Since the starting point has been changed, we need to slowly compile a new system and slowly develop its strength. Then slowly construct the first, second and third steps. This is a long process.

I have to be patient enough."

First stop, Massachusetts-Boston-New Balance Indoor Grand Prix – 6 seconds 72.

Second stop, New York-Millrose Indoor Meet - 6 seconds 60.

In comparison, Wei En's results appear to be very high-level and stable: New Balance - 6 seconds 49, Millrose - 6 seconds 47.

Young players Xie Zhenye and Wu Zhiqiang performed well. At the AM Invitational at the University of Texas, one of them ran a PB of 6.68 seconds to win the championship, and the other ran a PB of 6.74 seconds to win the second place.

According to Yuan Guoqiang's estimation, after this winter training, Wu Zhiqiang should have the ability to open 10 seconds 50.

After returning to China, Yuan Guoqiang promoted a new member to the team, a person Wei En had heard about in his previous life.

Chen Guanjie is from Yulin, Guangxi.

On the afternoon of November 12, 2011, Chen Guanjie won the Guangxi Youth Track and Field Championships in Qinzhou with a time of 10.56 seconds, setting a record for the Men's 100m Group A of the Guangxi Youth Track and Field Championships.

Before that, the record belonged to Wayne.

Wai En has an impression of Chen Guanjie, because although his score of 10.56 seconds was not recognized by the IAAF (the competition level was too low), before his rebirth, he had been the youth 100m record holder in Guangxi.

Chen Guanjie's registered date of birth is January 11, 1994, which is 3 months older than Wu Zhiqiang. Unfortunately, his 10.56 came a little later. At that time, Yuen Guoqiang had already selected Wu Zhiqiang to replace Zheng Dongsheng.

.

Otherwise, it might be Chen Guanjie, not Wu Zhiqiang, who would follow the main players to the winter training at IMG Academy.

In 2007, Chen Guanjie was spotted by Yulin Sports School coach Tang Xiuying and began to train sprinters. Later, Tang Xiuying recommended him to Guangxi Sports School. At the end of 2010, he entered the Guangxi Sports Team to receive higher-level and more professional systematic training.

.

Naturally, Yuan Guoqiang couldn't let go of such a good prospect. He directly asked Feng Shuyong for someone to let Chen Guanjie skip the Guangxi track and field team and directly enter the national team to receive the highest level of professional training in the country, leaving Chen Wenzhong in charge.

------------------

On March 5, the Track and Field Center held a press conference specifically for the Chinese track and field team's trip to the IAAF Indoor Championships in Instanbul.

The host is Yu Weili, director of the national team management department. Participants in the news Q&A are Feng Shuyong, head coach of the sprint team of the national track and field training team, and athlete representatives - Liu Xiang and Wei En.

Compared with the Doha World Indoor Championships two years ago, the number of participants this time is indeed smaller. Counting Wei En, there are a total of 14 athletes.

However, compared with two years ago, the national attention of the World Indoor Championships this time is obviously much higher. After all, Liu Xiang was still recovering from his injury two years ago, and Wei En was also just starting out.

Now, Liu Xiang and Wei En both won gold medals at last year's World Championships in Daegu, which has naturally added a lot of attention to Chinese track and field.

"I would like to ask Director Feng, does the national track and field team set a medal target for this year's IAAF Indoor Championships in Instanbul?" The first question directly addresses the public's concerns, and problems like this are unavoidable.

"For this year's IAAF Indoor Championships, the Athletics Center has not set a medal target for athletes." Feng Shuyong replied, "Although it is also a 'World Championship,' this year everyone is most concerned about the summer games held in London.

Olympic Games, so this World Indoor Championships is just a training exercise at the beginning of the season, there is no need to put pressure on the athletes."

"Ask Liu Xiang, you set a new Asian record for the 60-meter hurdles in 7.41 seconds at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix. Do you have the confidence to beat the defending champion Robles when you go to Instanbul this time?"

After this question was raised, the reporters in the venue suddenly laughed, and Liu Xiang couldn't help laughing: "I don't have to defeat him, because he announced his withdrawal yesterday due to muscle strain, hahaha."

The reporter was so ashamed that he immediately lowered his head and stopped asking questions.

When it was Wei En's turn, Yu Weili specifically asked the Guangxi reporter to be the first to ask questions.

"Hello Wei En, you were the silver medalist at the last World Indoor Championships in Doha. Do you have any plans to win the championship this time in Instanbul?"

Wei En broke off the microphone and replied: "Although the leaders have not set goals for us, I personally have very high requirements for myself, especially since my personal abilities have improved significantly in the past two years, and last year I

I was also lucky enough to win a 100-meter gold medal at the Daegu World Championships. So in this Indoor World Championships, the goal I set for myself is to win the championship!"

After this answer came out, people in the venue immediately applauded, and reporters also started talking about it.

"Hello Wei En, I'm a reporter from

He won the championship with a time of 45 seconds and created the best time in the world this season. In addition, the Athens Olympic champion Justin Gatlin also won the silver with a time of 6.47 seconds and announced that he will participate in the Instanbul World Indoor Championships. What do you think of this?

?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei En replied easily: "Kimmons and I are old rivals. We played against him at the Doha World Indoor Championships two years ago. Up to now, I have always played against him.

He has never lost a game. And to be honest, the time of 6.45 seconds is a little too good for him. Unless he can still show this level in Instanbul, it will be difficult for him to pose a threat to me."

"What about Justin Gatlin? His best indoor 60-meter time was 6.45 seconds at the 2003 US Championships in Boston. He was also the former Indoor World Championship champion in 2003. This year he ran

6 seconds 47, does it mean that he has returned to or is close to his former peak state? In addition, he is already 30 years old and can still maintain such a competitive level. Do you think this is related to his past doping?"

"Well..." Wei En thought for a while, "Based on the data, he does show signs of returning to his peak. As for whether it is related to doping, I can't say. Gatlin was suspended.

He has not participated in high-level, high-intensity competitions in those four years, so his physical functions have not been lost during those four years."

"So you can understand that he quit playing games six years ago and saved his files. He found them again two years ago, and now he is rediscovering his previous gaming skills."

"So regardless of whether his current competitive state or whether his competitive level is related to doping, he has ended his suspension and returned to the competition. No matter how outsiders criticize him, this is a fact that cannot be changed. To be honest, I still

I’m really looking forward to playing against him.”
