Chapter 119 Testing(2/2)
"It's okay."
"This year's Olympic track and field is considered stable! With Lu Cheng participating, he will definitely win a few gold medals!"
"What a pity! If I had known earlier that he had such amazing strength, I could have signed him up to compete in the 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1500 meters!"
For the Olympic Games, you can't just register if you want. You must be at the bottom of the previous results. Lu Cheng had no middle-distance running results before, so he couldn't participate. At this time, there are still 2 months left before the competition, and individual registration is basically over.
It is almost impossible to participate. Even if the national team has a quota, Lu Cheng cannot squeeze other players out for no reason.
The old coach turned back to Zhong Tiemao and said, "Go back and check to see which event has a wild card."
Zhong Tiemao replied: "I happen to know this. Yesterday I attended the athlete preparation meeting and got some information. The middle and long-distance running is very tight. There are too many good athletes in Africa and Latin America, and the competition is very fierce. The Chinese team did not get a wild card. There is one in the long jump.
Wild card."
"Isn't the long jump a strong point of our country? How come no one reaches the standard? Yan Haoxiang even made it to the finals. Isn't he going to compete this year?"
"Yan Haoxiang's tendon was damaged and has not recovered yet."
"I remember that at the Magic City Grand Prix, a dark horse appeared. What was its name?"
"His name is 'Zhang Chi'. He is only 18 years old and has jumped 8.7 meters. He is indeed a dark horse. It's a pity that he was young and energetic and injured others in fights, so he was sentenced to 2 years!"
"Then give the wild card to Lu Cheng!"
"Is he okay?"
"It will definitely work. His physical condition is very good. He broke the world record in sprinting and his long jump performance will not be bad."
Lu Cheng went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to train for 100 meters and 200 meters. Although he was very strong, in the opinion of the coach, his technique was too rough. It didn't matter if it was a long-distance race. The start of a sprint was very important. If you were not careful, you would be in trouble.
If you commit a foul, you will be ejected.
He learned starting techniques from coach Li Hongze and tried again and again.
During the training process, he did not show any amazing strength. He just ran in 9.5 seconds or 9.6 seconds, which made the coach very satisfied.
Train for 2 hours and then go back to the dormitory to rest.
Wait until 3 o'clock in the afternoon to practice the relay events.
He met several sprinters, all of whom were national-level track and field athletes. Their 100-meter time was in the early 10s.
There are many male athletes in China who can run under 11 seconds, but not many can run under 10 seconds. 3. The results of these athletes are all between 10 seconds 1 to 10 seconds 2, and they can run into the 10 seconds mark when the wind is favorable.
.This result will not work in the Olympics.
If you want to enter the 100-meter individual final, you can't do it without a time of 9.9 seconds. The track and field team's hope is pinned on the relay event. If you are lucky enough to win a bronze medal, it will be a great thing.
In addition to Lu Cheng, there were five sprinters participating in the training camp. Some sprinters ran both 100 meters and 200 meters, while others only ran 200 meters. We were all young people, and we didn’t accept anyone else. However, Lu Cheng ran 100 meters every time.
They are all around 9 seconds and 5 seconds. After a few times, these people have become submissive.
Lu Cheng is 23 years old, and his age is in the middle of these people. Three are older than him, and two are younger than him.
The eldest named "Hong Qi" reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, I am 30 years old and have participated in 2 Olympic Games. This is the third time! My only dream is to get a brand!
In this year’s relay race, it’s up to you whether you can get a medal! If you get a medal, I will erect a monument for you later!”
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Brother Hong, please don't offer me up as a tribute. Only the dead can bear the incense."
The youngest was named "Meng Mintong", who was only 19 years old. He was considered a rising star. With a smile on his face, he asked: "Brother Lu, why do you run so fast? Do you have any tips?"
Lu Cheng said: "I am born with no knack." He thought to himself: "Why should I help you? You are different from Zhu Long and Guan Sangyue. Zhu Long practices discus, and Guan Sangyue is a female athlete.
I'm not a competitor."
Lu Cheng knows the art of reading Qi and can roughly understand other people's character.
Zhu Long can be considered honest and honest, Guan Sangyue is stubborn and simple, and Meng Mintong's smile hides cunning.
Lu Cheng felt strange: "How can a 19-year-old have such a mentality?"
In fact, a person's mentality has no direct relationship with age. Some people are born bad, and some people remain innocent when they grow old.
The next morning, Lu Cheng was called to the edge of the sandpit by his old coach Zhang Shaobo.
"Let me test your long jump!"
"Teacher Zhang, why should I take the long jump test?"
"Because our track and field team has a wild card for the long jump in the Olympics!"
Lu Cheng understood: "In that case, let's jump. Anyway, there are too many lice and they won't bite." He took a slight approach and took off easily, landing 10 meters away!
Zhang Shaobo was startled, then waved his hand: "Okay. No need to jump anymore!" He turned around and walked back to the coaching center to report to the leader in charge of track and field.
Yu Hongmin, director of the Field Management Center, is a veteran track and field athlete in his fifties with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Hearing that Lu Cheng jumped 10 meters, he opened his mouth in surprise: "Did you measure it? It's really 10 meters.
?"
Zhang Shaobo said: "I don't need to measure it. I can tell at a glance that it's 10 meters!"
"Aren't you dazzled?"
"Although I am old, my eyesight is not dazzled! Our bunker is 12 meters long, and the jump he just made was more than 1 meter away from the edge! And, this is not the point! Lu Cheng's run-up was very short, and he didn't use any force at all
Take off. If the bunker is longer, he can jump farther!"
"Jumping 10 meters is already amazing! The world record is only 8.95 meters, which was set by Powell in 1991. It has been 37 years so far!"
"So, this wild card must be reserved for Lu Cheng!"
