Chapter 111 Relay Final
"catch......"
In the stadium, Wang Ben and Yin Hanzhao are training to hand over the baton.
There are not many people in the stadium, except for Zhang Ben and coach Yuan Guohua, there are only three athletes. The personnel for the relay competition have been decided. The first is Chen Haijian, the second is Li Tai, the third is Yin Hanzhao, and the fourth is Wang Ben.
Today is the men's 200m preliminaries. Zhang Ben, as the head coach of the sprint training group, did not follow. On the one hand, he is only a temporary head coach, and he is only in charge of training for relay games...
The 200-meter athletes all have their own coaches. If Zhang Ben followed, there would be some suspicion of overstepping the role of the runners. It would still be during the Asian Games.
After much deliberation, Zhang Ben stayed here to train three batsmen.
All three of them have no other competitions, and the speed is okay. After simple training every day, it is a tacit training with each other.
They are the main players of the national team, and they don't need Zhang Ben to remind them deliberately. They are also very active in training.
"Coach Zhang thinks, what kind of result will we get in today's 800-meter race?"
Li Liang was originally a disciple of Zhang Ben, and today is the final of the men's 800-meter race. Therefore, Yuan Guohua thought that Zhang Ben would go to the game to watch the game.
"This year's Asian Games, the 800 meters is a little overhang..."
Li Liang is the domestic record holder of the 800 meters. Without Zhang Ben's blessing, Li Liang's speed is not particularly affected, compared to other Asian countries...
Coach Yuan Guohua sighed slightly. In this competition of strength and speed, the achievements of Chinese athletes are far inferior to those of skillful sports.
"Among the 800-meter runners, although I didn't watch the competition, according to the athletes' data, Saudi Arabian naturalized player Shalanqi, who was originally from Ethiopia, has a good speed. If nothing else, the champion is his..."
Ethiopian players have amazing endurance in the world. In international competitions, especially long distance races, Ethiopian runners have never lost a gold medal...
Coach Yuan Guohua understands this country. This country is mountainous, the economy of this country is relatively backward, and the transportation is inconvenient. Because of the people of this country and environmental factors, this nation has an amazing lung capacity.
According to some international organizations studying Ethiopian people, their lung capacity far exceeds that of other countries, and their endurance is excellent...
"The second is the naturalized Nigerian player from Qatar. The runner-up is his..."
Zhang Ben's face became strange: "The Afghan player's speed is amazing. If he plays normally, he can hit the silver medal... As for Li Liang, it would be good to be in the top five..."
Internationally, the domestic 800 meters rarely run excellent results. Li Liang's performance is very good, but compared to the international standard, it is still a little worse.
Don't be too humble and don't deceive yourself.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the athletes who participated in the competition returned, and the result of the 800-meter race was surprisingly similar to what Zhang Ben expected...
The Saudi naturalized player won the championship, the Afghan player won the silver medal for his outstanding performance, and the Qatar player won the bronze medal. The Japanese player finished fourth, and Li Liang only got the fifth...
The 200-meter athletes have all advanced to the final...now they have gone to other stadiums for pre-match training.
............
In the next few days, Zhang Ben paid attention to the competitions of other events and did not go to the competition site.
On October 10th, in the men's 200m competition, Li Tai only won the bronze medal, and the Japanese players won the championship and runner-up... This is not much different from Zhang Ben's previous prediction...
October 13, 8:30 am...
As the race draws to a close, the men's 4x100m race begins today.
Asian track and field competitions, men's relay competitions, directly select the top eight relay teams in Asian relays and directly enter the finals. In the world's track and field competitions, the relay team competition will directly take the top 16 relay teams in the world, and directly enter the final after participating in the preliminaries...
In the warm-up area, Zhang Ben has been looking at the relay teams of other countries.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Ben was a little surprised: "Which team is this, and they are all naturalized players?"
In front of Zhang Ben, a few figures passed by. The skin is dark and bright, leaving only the back in the blink of an eye. Zhang Ben didn't have time to watch the flag on their chests.
Zhang Ben had to sigh that there are more and more naturalized players in international competitions.
In fact, naturalized players, Zhang Ben is not very optimistic. In particular, the naturalized players from the rich countries of West Asia are actually of average level. It's okay in Asia, and can still achieve some results, but in the world track and field competition, it's not enough to watch.
Generally, strong naturalized players will choose Europe, not West Asia.
"This is the Thai team!"
Yu Wei said in disbelief: "If you have dark skin, you may not be a black race. Thais are strictly a yellow race..."
Zhang Ben opened his mouth, and Zhang Ben was a little embarrassed. In fact, many people in Southeast Asian countries are like black people, and their skin is not much different from black people.
Zhang Ben of the Thai team still has some understanding. In the Asian region, the three most powerful countries in the relay team are China, Japan and Thailand...
The athletes of the Thai team are somewhat lacking in height and may not be very fast, but the cooperation between the athletes is too tacit. In many competitions, the Thai team has been the strongest opponent of the Chinese relay team, and has repeatedly beat the Chinese relay team and the Japanese relay team to win the gold medal...
"I have Ethiopian ethnic origin. I don't seem to be tall, and my skin is so dark. I thought it was a naturalized player..."
Zhang Ben smiled slightly, and quickly eased the embarrassment: "Don't say it, maybe they are similar in blood to Ethiopia, their speed and endurance are good... The Thai team deserves attention and is an opponent."
Yu Wei was a little surprised. This was the first time that Zhang Ben had listed athletes from other countries as opponents before the game: "Thailand is so strong?"
Zhang Ben smiled without saying a word. If it weren't for his appearance, the final champion of the men's relay in this Asian Games would really be the Thai team... and the Chinese team, for various reasons, did not participate at all.
"However, don't worry, our country's relay team will definitely get a good result..."
Zhang Ben is confident about this: "No national team is faster than our national relay team athletes..."
Indeed, the men's 100-meter championship, runner-up and third place are here, and the 200-meter competition is here. Wang Ben is the only Asian runner to run the 100-meter under 10 seconds...
Chen Haijian's speed is not bad, the result of 10.02 seconds, in the Asian region, is enough to disdain the crowd.
Yin Hanzhao's speed is also good...
Thailand's relay team is far behind the Chinese team in terms of average performance. Even if it was the Japanese relay team, the soil general Kuan Yu was injured and retired, and a young athlete was replaced, which also made the Japanese relay team somewhat lacking in confidence.
"If we have a good understanding of the training in the past few days, we may have a chance to get tickets for the Athens Olympic Games and the men's relay race..."
In the major world games, the relay competition will only take the top 16 relay teams in the world to participate in the competition. How many Olympic Games, the Chinese men's relay team has yet to get a ticket...
Yu Wei was instantly moved, and his face turned red...
If you get the men's relay team and tickets to the Athens Olympic Games, this will be a historic breakthrough! Its significance is even comparable to the men's 100-meter run in 10 seconds!
Coach Yuan Guohua was also very excited. For domestic sprinting, this is really a game worth looking forward to.
Zhang Ben took a deep breath: "Don't worry, our national economy has begun to take off, and we will invest more and more in sports. At that time, our domestic sports will definitely rise up completely... We are just now, standing on the basis of sports perfection. It's just the beginning of the rise..."
The development of sports is inseparable from the support of economy and technology.
In the next ten or twenty years, domestic sports will indeed flourish and become a real sports power in the world.
"It's almost time, they should also go to check..."
Zhang Ben smiled slightly. As a coach, there will always be a yearning, hoping that domestic sports can really rise.Now Zhang Ben seems to have opened a window for them, and they are already standing in front of the door...
Chinese sports will gradually rise with economic development...
