just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 314 Summarizing the Past and Opening the Future

March 3, Shencheng,

China’s Top Ten Laureus Champion Awards Presentation Day

In a lounge arranged by the organizer, Lin Mu leaned back on a chair and closed his eyes to doze off.

The "National Top Ten Athletes Selection" aims to commend athletes and coaches who have won honors and made contributions to Huaxia Sports.It first started in 1979, and since its establishment, it has inspired generations of sportsmen and played a huge role in the development of Huaxia Sports.

As China Sports further integrates with the world, the "Top Ten" is combined with the Lawrence World Sports Awards. Starting last year, a sports festival with Chinese characteristics was born. This is the China Top Ten Laureus Champions Award.

He and the athletes in his team had already decided on this trip a long time ago.They were shortlisted for multiple nominations for this year's Sports Awards.They had multiple nominations last year, but except for Zhao Lin, who broke through 10 seconds and won the Best Newcomer, they failed to do so.

This year's solemn invitation from the organizer actually explained a lot of problems. Lin Mu is definitely happy to be honored.It's just that at this time, Lin Mu's interest that he had originally raised was being wiped out a little bit. What he felt was tired, even more tired than a day's training, and his heart was tired!

Came here early in the morning, press conferences, interviews, and some completely show-like activities, and he was one of the few focal points.People in front and behind are all stares. Even though he is quite used to being stared at by tens of thousands of people in the stadium, he still can't adapt to being surrounded by spotlights.

Until just now, the organizer specially arranged a stylist for him.After doing his hair and matching his clothes, and after a lot of coordination, when it was time to apply makeup and powder on him, Lin Mu "rushed" people away.

"Coach, it's time to start!"

A knock on the door interrupted Lin Mu's meditation, and Lin Wenyue, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, walked in with a smile.

"Well, very...beautiful!"

After looking at it for a while, Lin Mu looked away, as if giving a casual compliment.

"I'm going to follow you on the red carpet, so of course I have to dress up!" Lin Wenyue smiled even wider and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let's go, Mr. Lin Mu, you will be more natural in a while, if you want you human spirit."

Stepping forward, Lin Wenyue naturally took Lin Mu's arm.

……

Night falls, and the lights are on.

In front of the Shencheng Radio and Television Theater, a scarlet carpet was rolled out from the side of the road, and a road of starlight stretched out.

In the sports and entertainment circles, there are veterans and newcomers gathered together, and the stars are shining.

At last year's Athens Olympic Games, the Huaxia delegation attracted the world's attention with its impressive record of 34 gold medals. Therefore, the selection of the "Top Ten" this year will inevitably focus on the Olympic champions.This also made the awards ceremony a big gathering of Olympic champions.

Many nominated Olympic champions appeared on the stage with a "gorgeous" image that is rarely seen in ordinary times, which made most of the people who came to the door specially brighten their eyes, and the scene was full of "star" flavor for a while.

Cars stopped one after another, and a number of cultural and sports stars came down, waving their hands and stepping on the red carpet.A burst of applause rang out.

Stars kept coming, and time passed slowly. Amidst the clamor and the flickering of countless flashing lights, Lin Mu took Lin Wenyue across the red carpet, bit the bullet and stopped for enough time to pose, and walked into the venue without a moment's delay.

Facing the ambiguous smiles of many acquaintances and "familiar faces", he walked to the seat arranged. Until then, he was slightly relieved.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the theater scene, the championship award ceremony officially began.

The host's sensationalism and the interaction of the award presenters made the atmosphere at the scene very lively.

However, for these athletes who seem to be facing a "sentence", as each event is released, their hearts obviously cannot fully integrate into this atmosphere.

It can be said that the joining of many Olympic champions has made this selection difficult and unpredictable. Those who can finally be selected as one of the 10 awards are definitely qualified.Even the members of Lin Mu's team, who have always paid little attention to "competition", were inevitably a little more nervous.Who doesn't want to be that "gold medal among gold medals" and "champion among champions".

They have received quite a few nominations this time, but they all know in their hearts that it would be the best situation to get one or two in the end.Earlier, after Lin Mu got to know the shortlist, he actually had some judgments after a little analysis.

And the process of the party was roughly in accordance with Lin Mu's previous judgment.

The men's best newcomer was awarded to Zhu Qinan of the shooting team.Xing Na, who won the Olympic [-]-meter gold medal, won the Women's Best Rookie. Although she was slightly disappointed because she failed to achieve the goal she expected, it is already rare to win the award.

When the winners of the Best Breakthrough Award were announced, Lin Mu and his athletes were slightly disappointed.

They were the winners, the men's 4*100m relay team, but compared to these, they hoped to win the best team award.Although the awards are regardless of level, as a team, who doesn't want to get the awards and honors that the team deserves.

It's just that I was disappointed in the end. Although no one said that athletes or teams can't double award, the possibility is too low.

As expected, afterwards, the Huaxia Women's Volleyball Team, which was full of emotional bonuses, won the Best Team Award.Chen Zhong, who received the trophy on the stage and led the women's volleyball team to rebuild its glory, smiled brightly.

The Best Non-Olympic Athlete Award, the Best Disabled Athlete Award, the awards are in order, and the host is sensational and interactive.From time to time, people with "tearful eyes" can be seen at the scene.

And when Liu Xiang, as the first world record holder in China's sprint event, defeated Lin Mu and won the trophy for the best male athlete, the atmosphere at the scene finally reached its climax.

Compared with the previous awards, even the host and guests are sensational and inspirational to the extreme, making people cry.It's not as intense as it is now.

Almost half of the audience stood up and shouted the name "Liu Xiang", which infected the emotions of the audience and stimulated all the athletes.Remind them that in competitive sports, performance is the most important thing.

In the competition for gold and silver in the arena, sportsmanship is always an incentive.But competitive performance is the only theme that promotes faster, higher, and stronger sportsmanship.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Liu Xiang walked off the stage, and with an excited smile on his face, he returned to his seat and hugged Sun Ping.

"Master, it's up to you!"

Difficult!

Sun Ping said to himself and looked further away inadvertently.The women's volleyball bishop with a bright smile, and the track and field colleagues with a calm smile.He smiled and shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

"Coach, it's your turn!"

Almost at the same time, Lin Wenyue also leaned next to Lin Mu and said the same words.

Smelling the bursts of fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, Lin Mu paused in his heart, and forced a calm smile.

Just when he was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it, on the stage, the award presenter opened the envelope and announced loudly that he had been rescued.

"The winner of the 2005 China Top Ten Lawrence Champion Award and the Best Coach Award is..."

"Deputy Head Coach of Huaxia Track and Field Team, Head Coach of Men's Sprint Event, Head Coach of Men's Relay Team..."

"Oh~"

Off the field, the audience broke free from another sensationalism by the host and cheered loudly!
"... I am very happy to receive this award. It is not a proof of how good I am, it is an affirmation for all those who have worked hard for sports...

Countless names are engraved on the trophy I'm holding now...

The older generation of sports seniors, sports media staff, and the general public who pay attention to sports have discovered and trained groups of athletes and coaches, grassroots and middle-level coaches, and medical and logistics services for athletes to achieve results. , scientific research staff.It also includes those unsung heroes who have been kept silent for a long time, even unable to show themselves in front of others...

Many people refer to those who receive sports honors as sports heroes, but in fact we are not heroes...

We are just a group of sports people who have the responsibility to bear the hope and dedication of those unsung heroes, report to the motherland and pay tribute to those heroes with pieces of data, pieces of gold medals, and trophies..."

When Lin Mu delivered his acceptance speech, paying tribute to all the unsung heroes in the sports world, the applause at the scene was longer and more enthusiastic...

With Luo Xuejuan holding the golden trophy of the Best Popularity Award with a sweet smile, the 2005 China Lawrence Champion Awards Ceremony came to an end.

As the highest honor in Chinese sports, the suspense of who will win the Lawrence Award is finally revealed.The shining star of Chinese sports also shines brightly in front of the world.

……

"Go! Lao Yuan, the two boys will be left to you. You can arrange which competitions to participate in according to the situation. In short, the ranking is not important, it must have practical significance. We don't need so many gimmicks, you know how to do it .”

A few days later, at the gate of Huaxia Yanjing Track and Field Base.

Lin Mu bid farewell to the last group of people who were about to embark on a journey of combining competition and training.

"Well, Director Lin, I will arrange it. I will call you to report if there is anything!"

"Coach, Sister Lin, let's go!"

After putting their luggage in the car, Zhao Lin and Shen Huan walked up to Lin Mu and said goodbye emotionally.

"Haha. Go, go, don't look like you're going to cry! You'll be back in a few months!"

Patting Zhao Lin and Shen Huan on the shoulders one by one, Lin Mu said with a smile.

The two boys seemed a bit reluctant, Shen Huan was a little better, after all, he had more than a year of experience, and he used to fly solo.

But Zhao Lin looked like he was about to cry, which made him feel a little reluctant to leave.

The vehicle drove away slowly, and Lin Mu looked at the vehicle going away. After a few minutes, he exhaled slowly, turned around and headed towards the base.

"Coach, what are you thinking?"

Following Lin Mu step by step, Lin Wenyue looked at Lin Mu's silence and asked softly.

"Hehe~"

Lin Mu didn't stop, but shook his head with a smile.

Passing through the base road, orders and whistles from the training ground not far from the side of the road drifted over from time to time, and every sound made Lin Mu feel a little confused.

When he came to a small training ground, Lin Mu stopped, pointed in one direction of the training ground, and said: "This is the training ground where I stayed the most when I first came to the national team. In February last year, it was There, I saw Zhao Lin and his father for the first time. That little stubborn kid..."

"Didn't they all say that you have sharp eyes and a contemporary Bole? Zhao Lin and Shen Huan were all picked up by you!"

Lin Wenyue leaned closer to Lin Mu and smiled.She could feel Lin Mu's sensibilities both familiar and unfamiliar to her today.

"Lin Mu, you can take them out to the game by yourself. You can also go out to the game by yourself..."

Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, "The children are grown up, it's time for them to go on their own."

Athletes all need to grow, and the coach will try his best to create for them, and he has been working hard to think about creating more for the athletes.He doesn't run by himself, but runs again and again, just to be able to analyze it more thoroughly.Then teach them what you have analyzed thoroughly.

But sometimes, some things that need to be sublimated and comprehended still depend on themselves.

The corner of Lin Wenyue's mouth twitched inadvertently, "Comrade Lin Mu, you're a little bit bold when you say that..."

Lin Mu smiled, "Haha, I'm their master. Master, master, like a master, like a father, it's okay to call a child. Let's talk about it, I'm going to be 26 soon, and I'm old."

"Hehe~"

Lin Wenyue just chuckled, the meaning of this hehe was unclear.

"Actually, maybe I am older to begin with. It's not my age, but my mentality!"

Didn't care about Lin Wenyue's inexplicable hehe, Lin Mu continued, he was a little emotional when he took the first batch of athletes out today.Thinking and talking a lot.

"After retiring and becoming a teacher, I will not talk about becoming a coach later. This requires a mature and stable mentality. But in fact, when I first became an athlete, I felt that I was a little...

Well, how should I put it, maybe the children of the poor are the ones who headed home early, so they think about the problem from a different angle.Moreover, when I see those who are younger than me, I naturally feel that I should care about them.Although I haven't taken action many times... Hehe. "

"No, once. In the 01 National Games, in Yangcheng, I gave away the first medal in my life. It was the only medal I had in a national competition before."

"Oh~" Lin Wenyue twitched her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes a little while flickering, her long eyelashes covered a little of the look in her eyes, and asked casually: "Is the first medal meaningful? Who is it for?"

"I don't know her either. When I think about it now, I don't even remember what she looks like. It should be that the features I remember are still prominent, which made me ignore the others. I just remember short hair, with small steel teeth, Mainly those eyes, very bright, but...well, very tangled, very confused eyes. In those eyes, I seem to see my past..."

"I'm not confident. I always feel that it's meaningless to work hard, and I feel confused about the future. Especially when I ran the National Youth Competition for the first time, I finally won the opportunity. I also ran on the wrong track. I can't even think about it. You will go the wrong way. Haha!"

"then you……"

"Oh, in that race, I was behind more than 300 meters ahead. I chased desperately, chased desperately, but in the end I couldn't catch up. I only got second, and I felt quite uncomfortable..."

Lin Mu had some memories. Feeling the memories of his predecessor, he found that it seemed to be completely integrated.Those emotions popped out, and he didn't feel like a bystander at all, just like he experienced it himself.

"After the award ceremony, I was not in a high mood. I felt that I was quite useless. The person who was younger than me was far ahead of me. I thought, is it just like those seniors said, the talent is poor , no matter how hard you try?"

"When I walked to the entrance of the passage, I looked up suddenly, and I saw a pair of eyes looking at me. Those eyes... remember what she said at the time, come on, you have never given up, and you will definitely be able to..."

"It's a strange feeling. I was sure at the time that she might have said this to herself. Later..."

Listening quietly, the corners of Lin Wenyue's mouth twitched slightly, and her eyes narrowed even more.

"Let's encourage each other. I hope that all those who still have ideals and dreams in their hearts will never give up..."

"Hehe, wasting a lot of time!" After finding an audience, after talking about memories and feelings, Lin Mu returned to his usual appearance.

"gone!"

Turning around, Lin Mu calmed down and headed towards his training ground.

"Lin Wenyue, from this year to 08, it is a very critical few years. Although the work is step-by-step now, but up and down, we still need to do a lot. I need to think more about things from the national team to local technical arrangements, Some coordination between the team and the athletes will depend on you!"

"Oh~"

"08 is the year of breakthrough that I hope will bring all the hard work to a certain sublimation. I hope that through an Olympic Games at our doorstep, we can truly open up the future of our Chinese track and field..."
