029 Debut with the national team?

As soon as they came out of the athletes' tunnel, Wei En and Lao Yi heard the news from Chen Wenzhong that surprised and delighted them.

"That's cool, Wei En. He joined the national team when he debuted!" Lao Yi punched Wei En in the chest. He was happy for Wei En from the bottom of his heart. "What? Participate in the Doha World Indoor Championships?!"

Looking back on the past, he only started to be exposed to systematic training at the age of 19. He only joined the Guangxi track and field team in 2007 and began to participate in the Grand Prix. However, he did not reach the finals in the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

2009 also had a bad start. Injuries continued to plague him. From May to September, when his body recovered, he finally set a new PB by a large margin, running to 10.35 seconds.

But despite this, he still felt confused about his future at that time, and felt that it would be enough to win a Grand Prix championship before retiring.

But now, he has actually jumped from the Guangxi provincial team to the national team, and is about to compete in the World Indoor Championships!

Lao Yi knew that without Wei En's selfless sharing of the "Explosive Start" technique with him and the training plans previously formulated by coach Chen Wenzhong, his future ability would never have evolved to this level.

Therefore, he was truly grateful to Wayne for his selfless sharing.

"I made it to the national team, don't you do the same, Brother Daniel? Let's work hard together and make a good show for China in Doha!"

Wei En was also extremely happy. To be honest, the current situation really exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that with the [explosive start-entry] technique rewarded by the system, coupled with the sprint training knowledge accumulated in his previous life, and Chen Wenzhong's coaching, he would be satisfied if he could rise to the top level in the country in 2010.

Who would have thought that after one winter, his strength would explode to such an extent.

Because his main training direction this winter is his ability to start and accelerate forward, which was also his previous weakness, his 100-meter level is still unknown.

But in the indoor 60 meters, he has actually broken the national record. However, Su Bingtian, the future figurehead of China's sprint, has been embellished by the media and established as an "invincible" image. At this time, his future ability still needs to be improved.

(The protagonist was reborn in 2019. At that time, Su Bingtian’s highest indoor and outdoor 60-meter levels were 6.42 seconds and 6.38 seconds respectively. There is still a considerable gap between the 60-meter split of 6.29 seconds and the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

.)

Wei En felt that... the plot was starting to feel a little wrong. He made his debut with the national team and competed in the World Championships. Isn't this pace a bit too fast?

"It has been detected that the national track and field team has included the host on the roster for the 2010 Doha World Indoor Track and Field Championships and issued a temporary task:"

"1. Break into the indoor 60-meter final, and the reward will be - [Explosive Start - Driving to the Hall]."

"2. For the top three in the indoor 60-meter final, rewards: 3 attribute points for first place, 2 attribute points for second place, and 1 attribute point for third place."

Are you kidding, fast pace?

The sooner the better!

Now Wei En is eager to fly directly to Doha and directly wear the national flag to compete in the competition.

When I arrived, I took a taxi, and when I left, I took a bus arranged by the Farm Management Center.

When Wei En got in the car, he realized that it was not just him and Lao Yi who were going to report for the national track and field team. Today, in the men's pole vault and shot put, Yang Yansheng and Zhang Jun broke the national record, as well as the women's shot put champion Gong Lijiao and the women's pole vault.

Li Caixia and Li Ling, who won the first and second place respectively, were both on the two buses.

Counting him and Lao Yi, there were seven people in total, but Wei En knew that there were definitely more than seven of them. After all, how could such a world track and field event be without Xiangfei people?

The bus entered from the second north gate (main entrance) of the State Sports General Administration. After parking, the seven athletes and their coaches got off the bus one by one.

At a glance, Wei En saw an energetic middle-aged man with crew-cut hair standing in front of the main entrance of the General Administration of Sports building.

Feng Shuyong, the current head coach of the national track and field team, is a man who has a profound influence on the development of Chinese track and field.

"Director Feng."

Walking to the door of the building, the coaches said hello to Feng Shuyong in unison.

Feng Shuyong has a very rich resume, but he doesn't like others to call him "Head Coach" or "Director Feng". Instead, he likes the more affectionate title of "Director Feng" the most.

So over time, coaches from various provinces and cities called him "Guide Feng" as long as they were younger than him.

There were still some people standing around Feng Shuyong, including young athletes and older coaches.

Next to him is Sun Haiping, the most famous coach in the domestic track and field industry, and the athlete with outstanding height next to Sun Haiping is naturally Liu Xiang.

After greeting all the coaches, Feng Shuyong walked up to Wei En, looked him up and down, then stretched out his hand to squeeze Wei En's arm and thigh, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, today's young people..." Feng Shuyong said with emotion, "They are only 17 years old and they have become so strong. Look at these thigh muscles. No wonder they can break the national record!"

Facing the head coach of the national track and field team for the first time, Wei En was not timid at all. Instead, he boldly followed Feng Shuyong's words and said: "The latitude of the thigh muscles is very important, but in the four months of winter training, two major contributors made me a huge improvement."

, it’s these two muscles——”

Wayne said, patting his butt and abdomen.

Feng Shuyong answered with interest: "Gluteus maximus and abdominal muscles?"

"The first one is right, the second one is wrong." Wei En lifted up his T-shirt, revealing eight abdominal muscles that looked like cast iron. He pointed at his abdomen:

"Under the abdominal muscles, there are two muscles that connect the spine, pelvis, and thigh bones, called the [psoas major]."

“The starting technique I currently use is the [explosive starting] technique of Jamaican star Asafa Powell. This technique requires athletes to exert a stronger force on the ground during the acceleration phase of the start than other starting techniques, so that they can

Get more forward thrust."

"But in this case, the time the sole of the foot is in contact with the ground will also become longer, so we must rely on other aspects to make up for the time loss of pushing off the ground."

"The psoas major muscle is an extremely important muscle in the process of thigh lifts for athletes. The reason why Powell's starting technique is so strong is, to a certain extent, because he has an extremely developed psoas major muscle.

The cross-section of the psoas muscle is that of the famous neon general Nobuharu Asahara..."

"Twice!" Feng Shuyong took over his words and said with a smile: "Although I am not a professional sprint coach, after the Powell documentary on Neon NHK TV station was broadcast, the Tianma Management Center convened all provinces in the country in Shanghai

The city’s sprint coaches conducted a discussion.”

"Currently, the person who has done the most research on Powell's [explosive start] technique is Professor Li Qing from Tsinghua University. However, I hear you have mastered this technique?"

Wei En smiled and said: "I can't even speak of mastery, I'm just getting started."

"Just getting started? Hahahahahahahaha -" Feng Shuyong pointed at Wei En and laughed heartily, "You have just started and you broke the national record. If you practice to a great extent, what kind of results can you achieve?"

Wayne scratched his head, "I'm not sure about this. After all, Powell hasn't participated in the indoor 60-meter competition since 2005, but you can also use his outdoor results as a reference."

"Use the outdoor results as a reference?"

"Yes, divide 100 meters into two parts: the first 60 meters and the last 40 meters. Among all Powell's outdoor 100 meters competitions, the best data for the first 60 meters was the 6 he ran at the 2008 Lausanne Grand Prix.

31 seconds, followed by 6 seconds 32 in the 2007 Rieti Grand Prix.”

"6 seconds 31, 6 seconds 32..." Feng Shuyong was not a professional sprint coach after all, and was not sensitive enough to these data, so he asked: "What is the indoor 60-meter world record?"

In his previous life, Wei En had long memorized the records and data of various famous sprinters, so almost as soon as Feng Shuyong asked the question, his answer was already blurted out:

“The time of 6.39 seconds was set by American star Maurice Green at the 1998 Madrid track and field meet.”

"Hey? You answered quickly enough!" Feng Shuyong was very satisfied with Wei En's performance. If he had doubts before, thinking that there was a lot of luck in Wei En's breaking the national record, then through this

After a short conversation, he had completely given up on this idea.

He has been a coach at Tianjin Sports School since 1977. He has been engaged in sports for more than 30 years and has met countless athletes who are called "geniuses".

But this was his first time seeing someone like Wei En.

From head to toe, this young man exudes confidence and sunshine that are rarely seen among his peers.

It can be seen from the conversation that he is not only extremely talented in physical static talent, but also has a mind and wisdom that most athletes do not have.
