Chapter 208: Enjoyment is in the future, but struggle is only today!
Moscow, Luzhniki Stadium.
Luzhniki Stadium is located in downtown Moscow, Russia. It is the largest stadium in Russia, with a total of 10 seats. This stadium is a component of the Luzhniki Olympic Sports Center. At a certain time, it was also known as the Lenin Stadium
.
The World Championships are approaching day by day, and athletes from all over the world are taking time to come here every day to adapt to the venue.
On August 5, after officially settling in the Athletes Village yesterday and resting for a night, Wei En and other members of the Chinese track and field team came to the Luzhniki Stadium in batches to adapt to the venue under the arrangement of the team leaders.
.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the temperature in Moscow was not too hot, and the sunlight was not too strong, but the atmosphere in the Luzhniki Stadium was already very lively.
Athletes can be seen running everywhere on the track of the stadium. When they meet someone they know, they usually say hello, but they rarely stop and continue running forward.
"It's almost time. Is it time to go back?"
Wei En raised his hand and gently touched a strand of hair on Kulkina's temples. She looked back at Wei En, put her cheek against Wei En's palm, and rubbed it gently.
Perhaps the separation time is too long, and the time each time they meet is very short, so as long as Kulkina gets a chance, she will show the cute side of her character and act coquettishly all day long.
The gathering of couples at the World Championships is something that countless athletes would envy, among which perhaps Xie Zhenye is the most outstanding.
"Oh, you have to eat a mouthful of dog food to participate in the World Championships, you bastard!" Xie Zhenye, who had just finished a set of starting exercises, gritted his teeth as he looked at the young couple interacting closely on the sidelines.
"Don't look at it, it's useless to be envious." Su Bingtian walked up behind him, patted Xie Zhenye on the shoulder and said: "Actually, Lu Minjia is also very talented. After this world championship, you can let her fight
Apply and see if you can join Randy's training team."
Su Bingtian feels that Randy Huntington's coaching ability is really strong. Leaving aside Wei En for now, he and Li Jinzhe have only been training with Randy for less than a year, and their special abilities have improved significantly.
Xie Zhenye has now succeeded Lao Yi as the main force of the national relay team. His girlfriend Lu Minjia became famous at the 2009 Jinan National Games. She was able to reach the world's top level last year, but she suffered injuries during winter training.
This year I only jumped 6 meters once, and my strength has declined significantly.
But in the final analysis, Lu Minjia was born in the late 1990s, and she is now at her peak according to her age. She has plenty of time to cultivate and recover. If she can learn from famous teachers again, she might be able to reach a higher level in the future.
Faced with Su Bingtian's suggestion, Xie Zhenye shook his head: "She has her own ideas. I think we should respect her and support her."
Wei En, who had just walked over holding Kulkina's hand, heard these words and couldn't help feeling emotional.
I remember that Randy seemed to be full of praise for Lu Minjia in an interview in his previous life, saying: "Lu Minjia is great, she is very professional, and she always does her best to become the best athlete. She is now the best long jump athlete in China
, I hope to train her to become a top ten player in the world."
Randy Huntington likes to use praise to motivate the athletes he coaches, but being able to say such words shows that he is very sure of Lu Minjia's talent.
In her previous life, Lu Minjia trained with Randy Huntington, which happened after the 2017 Tianjin National Games. The training team at that time included Su Bingtian, Wang Jianan, Shi Yuhao, Huang Changzhou and other top track and field athletes in China, Asia and the world.
But not every talented athlete can withstand Randy Huntington’s devilish training, and his [Championship Model] does not apply to every athlete.
Since his rebirth, Wei En has helped many people and changed many people, but for Xie Zhenye's girlfriend Lu Minjia, he really has no intention of getting involved. It is only natural to let the young couple go through challenges on their own and overcome difficulties together.
------------------
On August 8, there are two days left before the start of the World Championships in Mexico.
In the track and field of the Athletes Village, a tall figure whizzed past the track like a rushing wind, and then gradually slowed down. He was breathing heavily as he walked, sweating heavily along his muscles that looked like granite sculptures.
Flow down.
"Very good. There has been progress in the recent starting training." Glenn Mills looked at the stopwatch in his hand and nodded with great satisfaction, "That's it for the morning's training. That's almost it."
Usain Bolt shook his head: "I feel that the third step just now can be more perfect, let's try it again."
After saying that, Bolt did not wait for Glenn Mills to nod, stretched his muscles while walking, and returned to the starting area.
Glenn Mills followed behind with a smile on his face. He was extremely satisfied with his disciple's progressive attitude over the past six months.
But the more this happens, the more it shows how much psychological pressure Bolt is under.
The most stressful time was during the period from the trials to the Diamond League Lausanne. Tyson Gayon first hit 9.74 seconds at the National Trials, and Wynn became the second person in history in Lausanne. His voice and momentum were like
The huge waves are unstoppable.
Although Tyson Guyon was later exposed in a doping scandal and withdrew from the World Championships, Jamaica also had Asafa Powell and others kicked out of the national team due to doping issues.
In individual events, Bolt may have lost a strong competitor, but in relay events, Jamaica has also lost a mainstay.
The media interviews Wei En accepted during these days all revealed his confidence in his own strength, as if he already regarded the world's heroes as nothing.
But didn’t Bolt have the same mentality in 2009?
If you want to be on top of the world, if you don't dare to express your confidence in interviews, how can you convince yourself internally, and how can you defeat strong opponents on the field?
If you want to become the well-deserved number one in the world, you must first have the mentality and strength of being number one in the world, only in this way can you create a legend.
In a daze, Bolt had already completed a 100-meter run with Blake and the others.
Glenn Mills didn't check his watch this time, but for top athletes like them, even if they don't look at the watch and only rely on their own feeling feedback, they still know how well they ran this time.
After this run, Bolt finally had a smile on his face. It seemed that the feedback was good.
At his age, coupled with the injuries he has accumulated, he can no longer improve any more. He can only follow the old path and try his best to achieve his physical condition during the World Championships through planned training.
and the “peak period” of technical capabilities.
But this "peak" can only be a sub-peak. According to the current training indicators, the status of the 100-meter event is no worse than last year's London Olympics. As for the 200-meter...
Glenn Mills did not dare to guarantee what kind of results Bolt would be able to achieve in this World Championships, but he had a hunch that perhaps the final result would be difficult for his disciple to accept.
To this day, he still remembers what Usain said to him in front of the team after returning to China after the Osaka World Championships in 2007:
【Coach, I don’t want to lose again.】
"You must pay more attention to keeping warm these days. The temperature in Mexico is not high during the day, and sometimes it even drops below 16 degrees Celsius at night. You must not catch a cold."
Seeing that Bolt was still shirtless after running, Glenn Mills immediately threw a towel over and asked him to wipe off the sweat quickly and put on clothes.
Bolt picked up a towel and wiped off the sweat on his body, then put on short sleeves and a thermal coat. After all, his current body temperature was still too high, and it would be really uncomfortable to add another piece of clothing.
Usain Bolt is really not used to the weather in Mexico, but he has had a lot of competition experience in Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, and it took him a few days to adjust.
"By the way, coach, are there any reports about Wayne today?" Bolt packed his things, greeted Blake and other teammates, and followed behind Glenn Mills.
"VJ, you have to calm down and don't pay too much attention to Wayne's news..." Glenn Mills said seriously.
Blake just took out his phone and looked at it for a few times, then handed it to Bolt: "Look, he just accepted an interview with the Voice of Eros an hour ago, and he hugged his Eros girlfriend from beginning to end.
Woolen cloth."
"Hell, this guy showed off his love for the camera when he got off the plane a few days ago. There have been reports like this for the past few days. Is it endless?" Bolt's teeth were itching, and he recalled the things he had done in the flowers over the years.
After experiencing this, I was thinking about finding a regular girlfriend and having a good relationship?
At this time, Bailey Cole on the side joked: "After arriving in Mexico, he was either giving interviews or walking on the way to be interviewed. He was accompanied by an Orosi girl and played every night. I watched him
I have already forgotten that I am here to participate in the World Championships.”
No wonder Bailey Cole thinks so. Although Wayne and his leading relay team are the absolute strong rivals of the Jamaican team in this World Championships, they really know too little about China.
In recent years, the Jamaican track and field team has not only created miracles one after another with its domineering strength and won numerous honors, but is also known for its "romance". The two generations of "heads" Asafa Powell and Usain Bol
Especially the owners who like to hang out in nightclubs.
Before the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, the media photographed Asafa Powell playing all night in a nightclub. This was also a point where many Jamaican people criticized Powell after the 100-meter final.
During the 2009 World Championships, after Bolt broke his 200-meter world record, he also went to the bar to play all night to celebrate. Afterward, he joked, "My legs are already weak."
"Don't be fooled by the appearance of these reports!" Yohan Blake said seriously, "No one knows Wayne better than me. He is definitely not the kind of proud and complacent person. Before achieving his goal, he will definitely
There will be no let-up in the slightest. If we think that he has no faith in fighting just because of these reports, then we will definitely lose miserably!"
Bolt nodded, his heart clear.
He asked himself that he didn't know Wayne as well as Blake, but he knew very well how much effort it would take for an Asian athlete to break through the "race limits" theory and step by step to reach the height of being the second person in history.
Because he has also walked this road to the top of the world, and it was based on Jamaica's decades of support for the development of track and field sports.
As for China's track and field, especially the sprint events, Bolt had already experienced it in 2008. Even with the superficial theoretical knowledge he had, it was not difficult to see that it was just a toddler and missed the point.
In such a domestic environment, Wei En can step by step become the second person in history. How could he give up his martial arts before taking the final step in this world championship?
Anyway, Bolt felt that Wei En was definitely not the kind of person who would stop at half-measures and give up halfway. The more relaxed he appeared, the more confident he was in winning the World Championships.
Wei En will only turn 21 next month and is still on the rise. No one dares to judge his upper limit.
Who knows if his strength will be further improved after running 9.62 seconds in Lausanne!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey, Usain, we haven't had fun together for several days. Can we come to your room tonight?"
On the way to the restaurant, Ashmead asked Usain Bolt in a low voice.
This year's list of men's sprint world championships in Jamaica includes Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Bailey Cole in the 100m event, and Usain Bolt, Warren Way in the 200m event.
Er, Nick Ashmead, 4x100m relay plus a solid performance from Nesta Carter.
Ashmead is special in the men's sprint group because his coach is Lance Blauman of the United States, not Glenn Mills, Stephen Francis or other coaches in Jamaica.
Due to the absence of players such as Asafa Powell and Sherron Simpson from the World Championships under Steve Francis, most of the members of the Jamaican track and field team this year are disciples of Glenn Mills.
Therefore, Ashmead is very "interesting" and has consciously followed Bolt these days. Whenever there is an event, he will definitely be the first to respond and participate.
"Forget it, Nick, you know the game starts in two days."
Usain Bolt shook his head. Recently, he has been under increasing pressure. In order to regain his glory at the World Championships in Mexico, he has already devoted himself to training and preparations. He does not want to lose due to greed.
Happy and ruined the possibility of winning the championship.
He wants the gold medal! He wants to defeat Wayne! He wants to become the unquestioned and unquestioned greatest athlete.
But so far, he has only 6 Olympic gold medals, inferior to Carl Lewis's 9; and only 5 World Championship gold medals, also inferior to Carl Lewis's 8.
There is a raging flame burning deep in his heart, and his innate pride prevents him from letting go of the burden in his heart. He must concentrate his will on one place and break through the "hard rock" of Wayne!
"I long for the championship! I long for the gold medal! I want the world to call me the same as the football king Pele and the boxing king Ali, accept the respect of the world, and become the greatest athlete!"
"Human life is very long, and there are still many years for me to enjoy in the future, but that is the future, not today!"
Chapter completed!
