March 13th is the second competition day of the Doha World Indoor Championships.

After yesterday's competition, there are not many athletes left in the Chinese track and field team.

The first event that will be held at Asbel Stadium today is the women's shot put qualifying competition. The Chinese track and field team has two athletes participating, namely Gong Lijiao and Liu Xiangrong.

After the start of the women's shot put, the women's long jump qualifying competition and the women's triple jump final will begin one after another. The Chinese track and field team will also have one athlete participating in each of these two events: Lu Minjia and Xie Limei.

In addition, there is Zheng Xingjuan in the high jump in the women's event, with a total of 5 people. In the men's event... except for Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng who will compete in the semi-finals tomorrow, only Wei En and Lao Yi are left.

What a coincidence. The women's events are all field events, while the men's events are all track events.

Because the men's 60 meters is the most eye-catching event in any indoor event, the semifinals will not be held until 17:00, so for Wei En and Lao Yi, their preparation time today will be very sufficient.

Originally, Wei En had planned to go watch the game in the morning, take a two-hour break at noon, and wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to adjust his condition and prepare to warm up for the game. Who would have thought that not long after he got up, he would be greeted by a group of uninvited guests in his room.

"Hi, Sister Na, why did you come all the way to Doha? Are you on a business trip?"

Wei En opened the door and looked at the extremely disgusted face in front of him, pretending to be stupid and smiling.

Tong Rina's face was also expressionless, and she just answered in very official terms: "For international competitions like the World Indoor Championships, CCTV will of course send a team of reporters with strong professional capabilities to follow the coverage. I am Liu Xiang's good friend, so naturally

Of course not."

As expected of you, Tong Rina, you can say things like "Liu Xiang's good friend", but Wei En doesn't believe it anyway.

The photographer who was following behind was afraid of delaying the matter, so he took the initiative to say: "Hello, player Wei En, the reason why we came so early is mainly for the domestic broadcast in the evening. The person in charge of the commentary this time is Mr. Yang Jian, who hopes to be in the competition.

Before the game starts, we can ask him some questions so that he can have more topics to talk to the audience during the game."

"Okay, no problem." Wei En agreed to the request, and he liked Yang Jian's acceptance.

In particular, the men's 100-meter final of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games can definitely be regarded as the most classic commentary scene in Chinese track and field and even the entire Chinese sports world. It ignites every time I listen to it, and Boruto is incombustible in front of it.

Wei En opened the door to let them in, and then Tong Rina made an international long-distance call and turned on the speakerphone. Not long after, she heard a voice from the mobile phone:

"Hello? How's it going? Did he agree?"

"He agreed and is right next to him. If you have any questions, just ask him directly," Tong Rina said.

Wei En also said hello: "Hello, Teacher Yang Jian, I am Wei En."

"Hello, hello, China has produced a talented boy like you, which is really something to be happy about! When I heard the news that you and Lao Yi advanced to the semi-finals last night, I wanted to find you, but

I'm afraid it will disturb your rest..."

"Teacher Yang Jian, you don't have to be afraid now. I have nothing to do all morning. If you have any questions, just ask. I'll answer them all."

"Okay, cough..." Yang Jian cleared his throat and continued: "The first question is about last year. According to the information I have collected so far, last year you ran first at the Guangxi Youth Track and Field Championships.

10 seconds 75. Before the National Day, you ran 10 seconds 50 in a friendly match held with the support of the Municipal Sports Bureau. But in less than a year, you were already standing on the semi-final stage of the World Indoor Track and Field Championships.

, have you ever thought you could progress so fast?"

Wai En: "I really haven't thought about this. Before the winter training last year, I actually thought, if I can continue to improve smoothly, it would be great to qualify for the long jump event of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games?"

Yang Jian: "Wait, long jump? Not 100 meters?"

Wei En: "Yes, Teacher Yang Jian, you heard it right. Before I received winter training this year, my main event was actually the long jump, and my long jump score was much better than the 100-meter score. But after arriving in Nanning,

My coach Chen Wenzhong said that he might not be able to help me go further in the long jump event, so my main training event in winter training became the 100 meters."

Yang Jian became interested at this time: "So for you now, have you decided to focus entirely on the 100 meters, or will you pick up the long jump at a suitable time in the future?"

Wei En replied: "I think the word [recovery] is not appropriate, because although my current main event is the 100 meters, Teacher Yang Jian, you have practiced hurdles, you should know: short, jump, jump...

The three events are inseparable. Although the focus is on the 100-meter event, I also maintain the most basic long jump training, and as my 100-meter special ability improves, the lower limit of my long jump level is actually rising with the tide.

.”

Yang Jian: "So is it possible that we will see your performance in the long jump event this year?"

Wei En: "The original plan made by Teacher Chen Wenzhong and I was to transfer to Chengdu after participating in the indoor competition in Yanjing, and at the same time register for the 60 meters and long jump events at the Chengdu Station of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships on the 20th, but I didn't expect to win the prize by accident.

Qualification for the Indoor World Championships..."

Yang Jian: "I believe this is not an accident, but your strength. Your talent is destined. You are born for sprints and competitions! Okay, let's calm down now and move on to the next question."

Wayne: "Excuse me."

Yang Jian paused and said: "Before you and Lao Yi, only Wen Yongyi in the history of the Chinese national track and field team had entered the men's 60-meter semi-finals at the World Indoor Championships. But your and Lao Yi's results have already exceeded

After seeing Wen Yongyi back then, especially your performance yesterday, I always feel that 6 seconds 56 is not your limit... So, do you think you have what it takes to reach the finals?"

Yang Jian didn't wait for Wei En to answer, and immediately continued: "I know this question is a bit too heavy for a 17-year-old boy, because in fact, from the moment you enter the national team, you are already burdened with

It’s a mission. You can choose not to answer this question.”

"...Teacher Yang Jian, let me tell you the truth."

"Well, you say." In fact, when Wei En said these words, Yang Jian knew the result.

Also, Wei En is still a 17-year-old boy after all. It is already very good to break the national record and reach the semi-finals of the World Indoor Championships. If he has to be forced to issue a "military order" such as "guaranteed to enter the finals", then

It's just to embarrass him.

"I think we can be bolder. Judging from the current situation, reaching the finals is no longer what we want to pursue. Teacher Yang Jian, I really think European and American athletes are not invincible. I believe Brother Xiang could do it back then.

I can do it too."

"I won't hide it from you. After observing the 7 groups in the preliminaries, my goal is not only to reach the finals. I also want to defeat our previous achievements in the 60-meter and 100-meter events on the final stage.
Chapter completed!
