Chapter 41 The Style of a General
Wei En became popular, although not as popular as Liu Xiang at the time, but he was popular after all.
In fact, no matter what country you are in, medals are recognized, especially those that have never been won before, and they are more likely to be sought after.
Of course, no matter in any field, there is a difference in popularity between honors. For example, in the same track and field event, Gong Lijiao won a World Championship medal and Su Bingtian advanced to the 100-meter final. The popularity of these two events is absolutely different.
Wei En won the silver medal in the men's 60-meter indoor championships. Although his influence is much smaller than that of the 100-meter event, it is not much worse.
It is already past 1 a.m. in China, but many news media organizations are suddenly working overtime at this time, asking employees to seize the time to make relevant preparations. Until the morning, whether it is CCTV or local satellite TV, whether it is People's Daily or other newspapers
, whether it is Baidu, Sohu or Tencent, they will push the news of Wei En's silver medal and history in the World Indoor Championships to every corner.
But even if it were another day, Wei En wouldn't be able to experience it, because there are three competition days in the World Championships. Although he won't have a competition tomorrow, he still has to stay in Doha and not run around.
Early the next morning, Asbel Stadium.
Wei En walked slowly in the auditorium, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, and there seemed to be sweat on his cheeks.
Qatar has a tropical desert climate. Although it is only late March, the temperature is already relatively warm.
The coaches of Chen Wenzhong's track and field team were sitting in the same area. They were watching the game. When they saw Wei En walking over in short-sleeved shirts, they immediately criticized: "You kid, you want style rather than warmth, right? How many times have I said this?
Athletes must always protect their bodies, what should they do if they catch a cold?"
"I know, I know. I'll wipe off the sweat first and put on my coat later." Wei En sat down next to Chen Wenzhong with a playful smile, took out a towel from his backpack and began to wipe off the sweat.
Although there was no competition today, he might have to participate in a competition after returning to China, so Wei En still practiced a little after getting up.
After embarking on this path, since you have lofty ideals in your heart, you must be strict with yourself at all times. Only in this way will you have the capital to challenge when you encounter more powerful opponents in the future.
"It's good to know, don't ask me to remind you all the time."
In fact, Chen Wenzhong only talked about it. When he was training in Nanning before, he would not remind him at all, because Wei En was too sensible and did not need his help in life, nor did he need to pay attention to many points in training.
He reminded him verbally, that is, he always had to pretend to be a coach in front of Feng Shuyong and the others, so he spoke.
What is happening in the gymnasium is the women's shot put final. The Chinese track and field team has two contestants, one is Gong Lijiao and the other is Liu Xiangrong.
But now, only Gong Lijiao is left competing in the field.
Gong Lijiao was born on January 24, 1989. She is 21 years old this year. At last year's National Games in Jinan, Shandong Province, she won the National Games championship with a time of 20.35 meters, and it was also her first time to break the 20-meter mark.
Most track and field athletes will not adjust to their best condition during the indoor season, especially since there is another Asian Games in Asia this year, so Gong Lijiao has not yet adjusted to her best condition at this time, and her several consecutive shots were only over 18.5 meters.
The fourth throw was 18.64 meters. As soon as this result came out, Feng Shuyong said: "It's almost there. No matter how high it is, it won't be much higher."
Obviously, the boss who guided the Chinese track and field team was very aware of Gong Lijiao's state at this time, and Gong Lijiao finally did as he said, setting the result at 18.64 meters, ranking 8th, which is...
.second last.
"Alas, the strength of our Chinese track and field team still needs to be strengthened." Feng Shuyong said with emotion.
Yu Weili persuaded: "Okay, this time at the Doha World Indoor Championships, our country can have 17 young people meet the standards, which is already very good."
Feng Shuyong waved his hand: "I know, but I just feel unwilling to do so. You said that I have been the coach of the national team since 1982 and the head coach since 2003. After so many years, our national track and field team is stronger.
If you are weak, you don’t know when it will end.”
"Okay, how old are you and are you still complaining here?" Yu Weili smiled, just in time to meet Wei En's eyes, and then said: "This time we are fishing for such a little genius, and it is still the most popular 100-meter event.
It’s too late for others to enjoy themselves, but you’re not happy anymore!”
Wei En immediately looked away. One of the two bosses sighed, and the other tried to persuade him. The topic fell on him in the blink of an eye. It looked like they were acting.
Sure enough, after hearing Yu Weili's words, Feng Shuyong immediately laughed, waved to Wei En and said: "Come on, Xiao Wei, come here~"
When the boss called him, how could Wei En dare not agree? He moved his steps and walked up to the boss, and an assistant coach sitting next to Feng Shuyong also wisely gave up his seat.
As soon as Wei En sat down, Feng Shuyong patted his thigh and asked: "Xiao Wei, I have never asked you about your specific situation before. Although you are only a temporary member of the national team, I, as the head coach, still
I have to ask clearly. How was it? Did you encounter any difficulties when training with the Guangxi team? For example, accommodation conditions, training equipment..."
"Ahem!" Two loud coughs suddenly came from the side. No need to ask, it was naturally Chen Wenzhong.
At this time, Chen Wenzhong was looking at Feng Shuyong with resentment, his eyes seemed to say: Director Feng, is it somewhat inappropriate for you to ask for someone in front of me like this?
"Oops!" Feng Shuyong pretended to be confused and said, "Wen Zhong, did you catch a cold at night? Anyway, Xiao Wei and Lao Yi don't have games now, why don't you go back to the hotel to rest first?"
When Chen Wenzhong saw this, he could only remain silent. After all, Wei En had to take this step. He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
And even if Feng Shuyong's "plot" succeeds, he probably won't be replaced unless Feng Shuyong really disregards his face and arranges a new head coach for Wei En.
Wei En laughed. Of course he knew what kind of medicine Feng Shuyong was selling in his gourd. "It's not bad. For me, the training conditions in Nanning are sufficient for the time being."
"Ah? It's enough for the time being?" Feng Shuyong didn't expect that he would get such an answer. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Yes, it is enough for the time being." Wei En nodded, "Although the Guangxi track and field sprint team's status in the country is not as high as it was in the 1990s, the infrastructure is still good. Now I have won the silver medal at the World Indoor Championships.
Brother Daniu also got a good result of 5th place. I think the leaders of the district sports bureau will not wrong us, and they will definitely provide sufficient funds."
"Then what do you mean by 'it's enough for now'?"
"Literally?" Wei En analyzed: "My current indoor best time of 60 meters has exceeded 6 seconds 53. Although this data cannot be simply translated to the outdoor 100 meters event, after all, the rhythm of 100 meters
It’s quite different from the 60-meter pace. If I were to run 6.53 seconds in the outdoor 100-meter race, my rear end would most likely collapse.”
“After entering the outdoor season, I will change my running method, but I should be able to control my first 60 meters to around 6.58 seconds. According to my estimation, with my current condition, I will have no problem running 10.30 seconds at full strength.
If you encounter a good wind speed, it may not be too difficult to get close to 10 seconds and 20 seconds. So I say that the training conditions in Nanning are sufficient for the time being, but by the winter training at the end of the year, I am afraid..."
Wei En looked at Chen Wenzhong, shrugged and said, "Sorry, coach, you know what I want to express."
Chen Wenzhong nodded. Although he had only gotten along with Wei En for less than half a year, he had already figured out Wei En's temperament. This child has a precocious mind, but he never makes mistakes when it comes to matters related to training.
, there is always one thing to say.
And Chen Wenzhong himself knows that if Wei En's progress continues at this rate, he really won't know how to teach Wei En in the winter training at the end of the year.
Because he was at this level back then, and he had no experience in how to improve further.
"I understand what you mean. If that's the case, then..."
Before Feng Shuyong finished speaking, Wei En raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Director Feng, it's only mid-March now. Teacher Chen and I have already formulated this year's game plan and training plan in the winter. Changes midway may not be a good thing. There is no rush to join the national team.
Anyway, there is the Asian Games this year, and although I am still young, I still want to compete for it."
After Wei En's words, Feng Shuyong really didn't know what to say, because Wei En had already expressed his attitude. Moreover, his words were clear and well-founded. Only then did Feng Shuyong know that Wei En
What an independent young man he is.
Such young people know what their goals are and how they can make progress. Although they are only 17 years old, they already have the air of a general!
"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense. I hope to see you again in Yanjing after the Asian Games trials in August."
