Chapter 188 It’s not easy for anyone to come(1/2)
Jamaica, Flyers Club track and field training ground.
After a 300-meter speed run, the tallest black athlete covered his mouth and walked aside. After walking out of the track, he made a "vomit" sound and vomited all over the place.
"VJ, don't push yourself too hard. You are no longer a young man in his twenties. If you train too hard, you will easily get injured." Glenn Mills, who was wide and fat, walked over with a bottle of water.
and patted his back gently.
Today is February 1st. At this time in previous years, Bolt had just started to resume training not long ago, and he would go to the bar to have parties from time to time. Every time, his good friend NJ and others would drag him hard before he would come.
Go to the training ground.
But this year was different. As soon as Christmas passed, this disciple who usually gave him a headache took the initiative to come to the training camp and started training with Blake.
All in all, VJ (Bolt’s mother’s nickname for him, Vijay, which means victory) has been under his tutelage for seven years.
It was Bolt who took the initiative to join him. Although he had been engaged in track and field for many years at that time, he was not even considered a first-class coach in Jamaica.
However, Bolt still chose him because he could calmly communicate with a "little kid" like Bolt, instead of just telling him "what you should do" and "what you shouldn't do" regardless of his ideas.
At that time, many clubs in the Jamaican track and field world were ready to see his jokes, but Glenn Mills believed in himself and even more believed in this kid - Usain Bolt.
Athletes who want to realize their talents sometimes have to pray that they find a good coach; and if a coach wants to become famous, he also needs to teach talented athletes in accordance with their aptitude.
In Jamaica and the Caribbean, everyone knows that Usain Bolt has extremely high talent.
In 2003, Bolt entered the Kingston High Performance Training Center and was coached by Fitz Coleman, the coach of many well-known Olympic athletes.
Because there was no systematic scientific training, Bolt was still "thin" at that time and was completely uncompetitive in the 100-meter event, so Fitz Coleman removed the 100-meter from Bolt's training plan.
, mainly 200 meters, and in order to exercise his speed endurance, he also conducts high-intensity training of 400 meters or even longer distances.
The training plan formulated by Fitz Coleman for Bolt was very intense, which gradually made the young Bolt's body unable to bear it, and the famous Jamaican coach never thought about solving Bolt's scoliosis.
The problem is, it's a matter of training, training, training.
At the Hamilton-Caribbean Community Games on April 11, 2004, Bolt, who was not yet 18 years old, broke the world youth 200-meter record with a time of 19.93 seconds, and became the first person in history to compete in the youth (20 years old)
below) who broke the 20-second mark.
All this made Bolt's family and coach think that the current high-intensity training plan was correct. But they didn't know that injuries had already come to their door.
Bolt, who became famous in one battle, returned to Jamaica to prepare for the Athens Olympics. As a result, less than two weeks later, he was injured during a set of acceleration runs - a torn hamstring tendon.
But that's not all. Inflammation of the groin also came to the door. Although he was suffering from injuries, he was still forced to participate in the Athens Olympics. The result was of course a disastrous defeat.
The defeat in Athens caused Bolt's domestic public opinion to be in an uproar, and doubts and criticisms from the outside continued to come.
At the London Grand Prix on July 22, 2005, Bolt, who was under 19 years old, once again ran 19.99 seconds, proving his strength and potential.
At that time, the Jamaicans felt that although it would be difficult to win a medal at the World Championships with such strength, the top five would definitely be no problem.
The shocking result was that although the 19-year-old Bolt made it all the way to the finals, he suddenly tore his back muscles in the finals and finished in only 26.27 seconds.
Just like the previous year, insults and abuses were poured out, but this time the young Bolt withstood the pressure and resolutely "rebellion" despite the opposition of his family and joined the apprenticeship of Glenn Mills.
A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a Bole does not. Glenn Mills is extremely convinced that Usain Bolt is the one thousand-mile horse, and he also used his wisdom and sincerity to become a Bole.
"Coach, I understand, but..."
After hearing Mills's dissuasion, Bolt rinsed his mouth, and after walking a few steps, he felt sore again and lay down on the track tiredly.
Everyone knows that Bolt is a funny person who likes to make trouble during the game and seems to not care about winning or losing the game.
But at the age of 21, a person who broke national records successively, won the silver medal at the World Championships, and said in an extremely firm tone after the game: "Coach, I don't want to lose again", how could he not have a sense of arrogance in his heart?
Woolen cloth?
Although more than four months have passed, the failure in Brussels is still fresh in our minds.
Different from the inevitable defeat in the Olympic trials, at that time Bolt suddenly suffered from injuries and his competitive state declined. Otherwise, how could Blake be able to dominate?
But Brussels was different. After winning the men's 100m and 200m championships with absolute strength at the London Olympics, he began to relax physically and mentally, indulge in pleasure, and his competitive state gradually declined.
At the same time, his younger brother Blake and China's Wei En never slackened for a moment. Not only did their form not decline at all after the Olympics, but they became stronger and stronger as they fought, and finally defeated him in Brussels.
Blake and Wayne, after the London Olympics, showed a strong competitive state. They performed within 9 seconds and 75 seconds, and everyone who watched them was amazed.
Threat, huge threat!
He was born on August 21, 1986. When the World Championships in Moscow come, he will be 27 years old. At that time... can he still easily run 9.75 seconds?
"I know what you are worried about, but you should maintain absolute confidence in yourself. You are Usain Bolt, the world record holder. Although you lost the Diamond League finals, your training intensity at that time was not
They are not on the same level. If you can maintain the training intensity before the Olympics, you will definitely win."
Glenn Mills was really worried that Bolt would be under too much psychological pressure, so he changed his usual taciturn nature and hoped to reduce the pressure on him.
But Bolt just shook his head, shouted Walker's name, and asked him to bring over the homemade energy-supplementing drink, preparing to take a break to regain his strength before continuing training.
Seeing Bolt's stubborn look, Mills was not ready to continue to dissuade him. He raised his hand to cover the sun and looked towards the Blue Mountains. His small eyes squeezed by the fat face were slightly squinted. He didn't know.
What are you thinking about.
After drinking the energy drink, Bolt forced his sore body to stand up. Every time he took a step, he could feel the unparalleled "sourness" and numbness.
From the mountains of Trelawny-Sherwood Content Town, to now living in a large villa in Kingston; from the naughty boy who caused headaches to his parents and teachers, to today's world sports superstar who has attracted much attention
.
Along the way, Bolt had no idea how many hardships he had gone through, and how many doubts, criticisms, and abuses he had suffered.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, there is only half a year left before his 27th birthday, and his physical functions have begun to decline.
Some world-class athletes are actually able to achieve great results again after the age of 26 or even 30, but the main reason is that their training when they were young was not scientific enough and they failed to realize their talents.
If you have the mentality of never giving up, find a training mode that truly suits you, and find a good coach, it is not uncommon to have a second youth.
But Bolt is different. His ultimate peak was in 2008 and 2009, when he was only 22 or 23 years old.
During the London Olympics, Bolt and Mills agreed that his skills were actually better than those in 2008 and 2009, but the decline in physical function and the impact of long-term injuries meant that he could no longer reach the level he once had.
of height.
I ran 9.63 seconds with the help of a strong tailwind, and 19.28 seconds after pushing my body to the limit under light tailwind conditions. Although they broke the Olympic record, they are still far behind the glory of 2008 and 2009.
At the Jamaica Olympic Trials, he was defeated twice by Blake. At that time, countless people were doubting whether he could "stand up again." The London Olympics was also considered by many of his supporters to be the most difficult one since 2008.
Battle.
But at that time, both Bolt himself and coach Glenn Mills were full of confidence in the outcome of the London Olympics. As long as the injuries were effectively treated, victory would definitely belong to him!
Usain Bolt feels that he is a born runner. God gave him this body just to allow him to race on the field and create human limits.
This, he did.
In the greatest speed showdown in human sports to date, he completely dominated the field and received praise from around the world.
But the question is, can he still enjoy the unanimous cheers of tens of thousands of people at this year's World Championships in Mexico?
So far in his career, he has won 2 Olympic 100-meter gold medals, 2 Olympic 200-meter gold medals, 1 World Championship 100-meter gold medal, 2 World Championship 200-meter gold medals, and 1 World Championship 200-meter silver medal.
Overall, he is undoubtedly the greatest sprinter in history. He won the Laureus World Sports "Best Male Athlete Award" twice in 2009 and 2010. He is also nominated this year and has a high probability of winning this award for the third time.
In terms of competition honors, he has surpassed Michael Johnson in the 200-meter event, but he has not defeated Carl Lewis in the 100-meter event.
Like him, Carl Lewis is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the men's 100 meters and a three-time World Championship men's 100 meter champion (1983, 1987, 1991).
At that time, the World Championships were still held every four years, so although Carl Lewis's height was much lower than his, he actually dominated the 100-meter event for 8 years.
Therefore, although his results have surpassed Carl Lewis, he still failed to surpass him in terms of honors. This is a point that Bolt himself will struggle with and lament.
This year's World Championships in Mexico is extremely important to his career. If he cannot defend his title this year, the possibility will be even lower in 2015 or 2016.
Therefore, he has made up his mind.
In the 2013 season, he will give everything he has and treat this year as the last year of his career.
Even if injuries occur due to high-intensity training that can ruin subsequent careers, we must not hesitate!
"Coach, I'm ready to rest, let's continue training!" Bolt said these words and walked towards the starting point of the 300 meters.
Mills sighed softly and greeted the young men standing on the sidelines: "Yohan, Bailey (Bailey Cole), Fauci...get moving, let's continue."
Bolt's earnestness and hard work seem to have infected his fellow club members. Everyone is enthusiastically engaged in training, and the sunshine in Kingston seems to be getting hotter.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"
The training base in Bradenton, Florida, about 500 kilometers away from Jamaica, was like a replica. After a set of 300-meter speed endurance, Randy also walked up to Wei En, who was vomiting, and expressed concern and greetings.
Wei En knelt on the edge of the track, his tired and weak arms barely supporting his body. After a turbulence in his stomach, he felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and his throat seemed to have been burned away by the acid that poured out.
After rinsing his mouth, Wei En really didn't have the strength to move. He turned over and lay down on the track, breathing heavily and responded: "Not bad, I haven't felt so good after vomiting in a long time."
When was the last time you vomited so completely?
Anyway, it won't be last year. Last year, he started the indoor season very early and followed the outdoor season. Because he was worried that the intensity of the competition in 2012 would be very high, he lowered his training volume to avoid injuries, which can be regarded as a substitute for competition.
practice.
In this case, it was difficult for him to vomit.
Since arriving in Florida to start winter training, he has vomited countless times. Of course, Su Bingtian, who received Randy's special training with him, also vomited less.
