Chapter 226 Returning to China, the National Games opens
On the evening of August 19, Wei En followed the last batch of members of the Chinese track and field team and boarded the return flight at Sheremetyevo International Airport.
This flight was a direct flight, lasting 7 and a half hours. It was exactly 8 o'clock in the morning when we arrived in the capital. After getting off the plane, we went straight to the General Administration of Sports to attend the World Championships summary meeting.
"After returning to the capital, you had no time to rest at all in the first three days. Not to mention various activities, you also need to cooperate with the recording of CCTV's "Red Lightning" documentary. After the things in the capital are finished, coach Chen Wenzhong
I hope you can take time to go to Nanning for relay training to prepare for the National Games."
After the plane entered the stable stratosphere, Ru Yi took out the itinerary and told Wei En about his upcoming itinerary.
For Wei En now, those kinds of activities are nothing but trivial matters. Over the past few years, he has long been used to it. It is nothing more than meeting with some leaders, participating in some designated activities of endorsement companies, and meeting fans.
Just follow the process.
As for the CCTV documentary, it wasn't that difficult. The scene that required him to appear was actually to recall a certain scene in his documentary, which was not much different from the documentary "I Am Usain Bolt" that the BBC will make for Usain Bolt in the future.
Wai En was actually very confused at first. After all, he is only 21 years old and has just begun the peak of his career. Why did CCTV think of making a documentary?
Later, I learned a little more about it, and it turned out that CCTV wanted to make the documentary into episodes, with one episode per season, to be broadcast first on the CCTV General Channel, Sports Channel, and Documentary Channel, and then put on the Internet.
This kind of documentary format was not available to athletes in the past. For example, the documentary "Legend of Xiang" made after the retirement of Liu Xiang in his previous life could only be condensed into about 1 hour and 20 minutes because of the lack of early video materials.
But Wei En is different. In addition to the film and television materials of the TV station, he also has a lot of video records. His bib account has uploaded a lot of pre-match training and daily life videos, and the picture quality is very high.
Excellent documentary material.
For example, the "Red Lightning" documentary production plan proposed by CCTV will be initially divided into three episodes, with one episode from 2009 to 2010, one episode from 2011, and one episode from 2012. The production in 2013 will also be carried out simultaneously.
But it will definitely not be released until 2014.
As for the future, as long as Wei En can maintain a relatively healthy body, then this documentary may not end until the 2020 Winter Olympics, or even the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"By the way, how is the progress at Longgang?" After Wei En went through the itinerary in his mind, he asked a question that he was very concerned about.
"Then it must be a green light. You are a hot commodity, and people are rushing for you everywhere." Ru Yi replied with a smile.
"Where is the address of the track and field? Have you confirmed it?"
Ru Yi took out her mobile phone and pulled up a map to show Wei En: "The proposed address in Longgang is in the Longgang Sports Center, next to the Central Gymnasium and Basketball Court on the left, and to the west is the School of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
To the east is the main campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), and to the south is Shenzhen University of Science and Technology."
"This piece of land has not been developed yet. Longgang is hoping that you will build a track and field there to complete the sports center building." Ru Yi smiled, and then asked seriously: "Wei En, you
But think about it, we don’t have a private track and field training camp like yours in China, so this road is not easy.”
Wei En also smiled: "No one has done it in China, but it has been done abroad for decades. Moreover, my training camp is not purely private, it is also backed by the resources of the national team."
What Wei En said is correct. The track and field center has no objections to him starting a track and field training camp after graduating from college.
In fact, athletes like Wei En are much easier to manage for the track and field center than those athletes who have a close relationship with the provincial team. After all, there is less quarrel with local units and they can talk directly to the athletes, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Trouble.
Athletes like Liu Xiang, who are highly bound to the track and field team of the Magic City, and stay in the city all year round, "doing the bidding but not the propaganda". On the contrary, it is someone like Wei En who can directly talk to the track and field center, which makes the leaders more worry-free.
.
Anyway, it is nothing more than that when Wei En conducts winter training later, he will not train with other members of the relay team. But for the track and field center, as long as it does not delay Wei En's training and participate in international events to win glory for the country, what is it like?
The mode doesn't matter.
Even Wei En's creation of this track and field training camp is a new attempt for the domestic track and field industry. The Athletics Association also views it with an observational attitude. If it fails, it is Wei En's own business. If it succeeds, it will be a part of Chinese track and field.
A big breakthrough, no matter what, it doesn't hurt.
Anyway, the track and field center will try to provide the national team with the resources that should be provided. In the past, the team members were also affiliated with the track and field center, and were left to Wei En to coordinate and manage. It was up to him to make a name for himself.
Ru Yi, Du Jinchen, Li Yu, and Bai Jiajun, these four team members who have been with Wei En for two or three years must be fully equipped. In the future, the track and field center will also send various scientific researchers to help Wei En's track and field training camp.
Carry out promotion work and conduct scientific research at the same time.
As for whether to hire additional coaches for the training camp, and what kind of students can be recruited, the track and field center will also help to advise, but in the end whether and who can be recruited depends on Wei En's own connections and deception ability.
However, Wei En is not worried about this, because during the World Championships, he had actually deceived several of his ideal athletes.
The first is Wei Yongli. Although the training conditions and concepts of the Guangxi track and field team have been constantly innovating in recent years, for Wei Yongli, who has already reached the women's 100-meter final of the World Championships, if she wants to continue to improve, the Guangxi team will definitely provide
Not much real help.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei En himself may not be able to lead Wei Yongli well, but it doesn't matter, he has Randy.
Although he "established his own business", Randy Huntington's relationship with him will not change in the future, and Wayne can also hire him as a technical consultant for the track and field team in a private capacity to provide technical theory for his track and field training camp.
guide.
What's more, Wei Yongli is a member of the national track and field team, and Randy is a foreign teacher of the national track and field team. No one else can say anything about providing guidance to Wei Yongli.
In fact, Bai Jiajun has been studying with Randy for more than two years, and he is completely able to control the general direction. If he communicates more with Randy on details, he can fully support Wei En's current training, not to mention guiding Wei Yongli.
said.
In addition to Wei Yongli, Wei En also contacted and confirmed three very young athletes to join: Xu Zhouzheng, Tang Xingqiang, and Ge Manqi.
Xu Zhou was sent over by Liu Xiang on his own initiative after learning that Wei En was going to set up a track and field training camp and after discussing it with the leaders of the Magic City track and field team.
Regarding Liu Xiang's move, Wei En naturally praised him as "a good buddy and very loyal"!
In fact, Liu Xiang's idea is relatively simple. Last year, when Xu Zhouzheng was still on the second-line track and field team of Qibao Middle School in Magic City, he had already run 10.36 seconds and 21.25 seconds, breaking the Magic City youth record held by Yang Yaozu and Liu Xiang in 1995.
His talent is evident since he was born.
Xu Zhouzheng just graduated from Qibao Middle School this summer. The next step is to go to college and join the Magic City track and field team. However, Liu Xiang has doubts about whether the coach of the city team can fully utilize Xu Zhouzheng's talent.
Xu Zhouzheng’s previous coach was Cheng Yanhao, a famous hurdler in Shanghai. Liu Xiang knew very well that most track and field coaches in China had the ability to coach across sports when the athletes were below the master level. But when they reached the master level and above,
, it may not be possible to continue to teach athletes well and allow them to further improve their strength.
Ever since, under the leadership of Liu Xiang, Xu Zhouzheng was "outsourced" by the Magic City Track and Field Team to Wei En.
Ge Manqi is relatively normal. Ge Manqi is Wei En's little crush. When she heard that Wei En was going to set up a track and field training camp and offered her an olive branch, she agreed without hesitation for a second.
Ge Manqi was born on October 13, 1997, and was not yet 16 years old. Although she had already entered the Xiamen Sports Team for training, the decision-making power rested with her parents. After some hard work and coquettishness, her parents
Agreed to let her train with Wei En.
It was even simpler for Tang Xingqiang. Compared with Ge Manqi, who was two years younger than him and was training in the Xiamen Sports Team, Tang Xingqiang was still on the track and field team of the Zhouning County Youth Sports School. He even had a serious national competition.
I have never participated in any competition, and I have no reputation at all.
When Wei En's team members first contacted him, Tang Xingqiang even thought he was a liar. After a video call with Wei En, he believed it and agreed without hesitation.
In this way, Wei En's track and field training camp has already recruited athletes before it has officially started.
In addition to Wei En himself, the first batch of athletes in the track and field training camp are Wei Yongli, Xu Zhouzheng, Tang Xingqiang, Ge Manqi, and Kurkina, who continues to participate in the Diamond League in Europe and will fly to China to join Wei En after the season.
.
The construction period for the training camp's track and field field will not be too long, but it is estimated that it will not be completed this year. Therefore, the winter training probably still needs to communicate with the Longgang government to see if the Universiade Center can be rented for training.
Of course, these things can only be handled after returning to China. Now we just go through them in Wei En's mind and make some predictions.
------------------
The journey to the World Championships officially ended. In the few days after returning to China, Wei En first attended some official summary meetings and commendation meetings in the capital, and then spent some time traveling to major cities to attend events arranged by endorsement companies.
Activity.
After finishing his work, Wei En returned to Guilin, ready to be filial to his mother.
During this period, it is inevitable to meet with the city leaders, go to the alma mater of the middle school to give a speech to the students, etc., but this is something that cannot be avoided and Wei En himself enjoys it.
Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night.
Although I don’t pursue fame and fortune that much, if I say I don’t have any, it would definitely be against my will. No one is a saint.
During this period, I met my relatives, visited my former teachers, and had a dinner party with my old classmates from elementary school, middle school, and high school... At the dinner party with my high school classmates, I saw that I had gone through separation and reunification in my previous life, and in this life
A girl who couldn't bear to break off her fate met a boy who was both good-looking and good-looking who loved her deeply, and the two came together.
Thinking about it carefully, she has rarely sent messages to herself since last year. At most, she only sent a message of congratulations when he won the game. She was no different from other old classmates. She must have let go of the relationship that ended before it even started.
of feelings.
In the picturesque city of Guilin, Wei En spent a short but leisurely time. Time passed very slowly here, and he did not need to tense up and chase the time after getting up every day.
It seemed like they were all immersed in it.
But one has to start on the road. On September 1, the day after the National Games opened, Wei En finally left for Shenyang to start his first trip to the National Games.
The first thing he did when he arrived in Shenyang was to report to the Guangxi team. After meeting and greeting the leaders of the district team, Wei En was taken away by Chen Wenzhong.
Chen Wenzhong did not have any complaints about Wei En's "broken appointment" and took him directly to the track and field to officially start training with his relay teammates for this National Games.
Although it is said to be training, there is actually nothing to practice. Wei En and Lao Yi have been teammates since the winter training in 2009 and train together all year round.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although he has never cooperated with Lao Yi in the national team, there is a basic tacit understanding, so after a few simple cooperation exercises, the relay training
Just let it go for now.
Since there was no systematic training after returning to China, although the training was interrupted for a short time, Wei En's physical condition still declined to a certain extent. However, with the system in place, the decline was naturally controlled within an acceptable range.
.
The 100-meter preliminaries of the National Games were held on September 7, so there was not much time left for Wei En to resume training, but it was enough. With the help of the composite team, Wei En's physical condition data improved every day.
Recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because he did not attend the opening ceremony of the National Games, many media and people criticized Wei En, saying that Wei En did not pay attention to the National Games, and even extended to "disrespecting the audience."
Wei En did not respond to this point, nor did he need to respond verbally, because as long as he won the gold medal, such negative public opinion would be self-defeating.
On the morning of September 7, 2013, the men's 100-meter preliminaries of the 12th Games of the People's Republic of China officially kicked off at the Olympic Sports Center in Shenyang, Liaoning.
Although most of the competition events in the morning were preliminaries, the people who came to watch the competition could still be described as "a huge crowd of people."
The National Games is the largest sports event in China. Some popular events can often touch the hearts of countless people in the country. In previous years, they were basketball, table tennis, badminton, diving, and 110-meter hurdles.
This year, the men's 100 meters has become the most popular event in the National Games!
