just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 334 Three Preliminaries
Bird's Nest Stadium

At 11:10 in the morning, the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries officially started.

Up to now, there haven't been any heavyweight matches, but for Chinese audiences, there are quite a few heavyweight athletes they pay attention to.At this time, there are not many spectators in the stands.

The Yanjing Olympic Games is already a grand ceremony for all Chinese people.What's more, the current track and field has a great influence in the country, and the star effect is enough to attract many supporters to come to watch it live.

Lin Mu in the 400m, Yang Zuyao in the 200m and even Zhu Kun, plus Liu Xiang in the 110m hurdles, each of their matches is enough to touch people's hearts.

The 110-meter hurdles has already started, roughly the same as other sprint events, the 110-meter hurdles are also divided into 4 rounds, but the number of contestants is much less than other events.

Only 44 players participated in the 110-meter hurdles, divided into 6 preliminaries, and the top four in each group plus the remaining 8 best scores, a total of 32 players entered the second round of the semi-finals.It can be said that the pressure to qualify for the preliminaries is very small, and it also gives the players a great margin of error.

In the first group, the Chinese player Ji Wei first appeared. To the audience, Ji Wei was a very unfamiliar name, even less familiar than Zhang Meng in the 200-meter event.But the bright red that just appeared on the stage is enough to make the Huaxia audience enthusiastic.

Ji Wei's performance did not disappoint everyone. In the first group preliminaries, with a stable start and stable hurdle steps, she successfully won the third place in the group with a time of 13 seconds, and successfully advanced to the second round of the semi-finals.

The games were played in groups of several minutes. In the third group, Shi Dong also lived up to expectations and successfully qualified for the second round of the semi-finals with a time of 13 seconds.

Compared with Ji Wei, Shi Dong's reputation is undoubtedly much greater.Since the last Olympic Games, because of Liu Xiang's gold medal and breaking the world record, the popularity of hurdles has never been higher.As the No. [-] player in this event after Liu Xiang, Shi Dong naturally received a lot of attention.

Shi Dong also appeared in the semi-finals and even finals of the World Series many times.It can be said that every Chinese player who can make a breakthrough in the World Series is the focus of people's attention.

This is true for Shi Dong, and even more so for Liu Xiang, the number one seed!
Group after group of men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries continued. At the sixth group of preliminaries, the audience immediately shouted loudly, which was significantly higher than before.

Liu Xiang is here!

Since 2003, he has officially entered people's field of vision, and the 2004 Olympic Games has entered a peak. Until 2007, because of his Olympic champion and world record-breaking results, Liu Xiang is a well-deserved big-name star in domestic track and field events.

The sudden emergence of sprint events did not block his edge.Because of his outstanding performance in the Olympic Games, to a certain extent, only the dual influence of Lin Mu's legendary coach and athletes was still able to compete.But Lin Mu participated in too few competitions, and compared with Liu Xiang in terms of exposure and achievement honors, the follow-up was far worse.

As for other athletes, even if they had won the World Championships earlier, Zhao Lin, No. 10 in 1 seconds in the [-] meters, could not compare with Liu Xiang.It was not until Zhao Lin broke the world record for the first time that he really had the capital to fight against the court.

Compared with the comprehensive start and steady improvement of the sprint event, Liu Xiang's various competitions are in full bloom. The first track and field grand slam undoubtedly attracts the attention of ordinary audiences.

Now, the Olympic Games is coming again, and while people have digested the surprise Zhao Lin brought to them, they still haven't forgotten Liu Xiang.Just one preliminaries, just in the morning, more than 8 spectators gave the greatest enthusiasm.

After the fifth group of competitions, the audience began to shout Liu Xiang's name, and the scene was spectacular!
After endless calls, Liu Xiang, who had been preparing for the battle in the warm-up area, finally walked into the stadium, and the audience who had been waiting for a long time burst into enthusiastic cheers!

Thunderous cheers, applause like waves!
Liu Xiang started to prepare before the start. According to the competition rules, he ran a few hurdles for a test. It seemed that everything went well, and the enthusiasm of the audience did not diminish for a moment.It has to be said that in sports competitions, the effect of stars is really great.

in the stands,
For the Huaxia Athletics delegation, the atmosphere at this moment is completely different from the cheering enthusiasm at the scene, and it seems a bit out of place in the overall atmosphere.

Different from the relaxed before, at this moment they appear a little more dignified.Not only the leaders and coaches, but even some of the athletes who came with them, their hearts were slightly suspended at this moment.

Everyone in the team basically knows about Liu Xiang's repeated injuries before.However, various factors determine that the appearance of the Olympic Games is a must.

Originally, before the game, the representative team had already given their opinions in considering the trade-off between the game and injuries.They are already mentally prepared for not being able to play.

After the [-]-meter race, the gold and bronze medals that broke through the sky also gave the team enough room for maneuver.But precisely because of this, it seemed that Sun Ping and Liu Xiang had some different ideas.

Regarding this, Lin Mu was noncommittal.

"If you can play, you should be fine!?"

"The condition is not bad..."

"The movement of the right leg seems to be a little broken, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem..."

"..."

The discussions around him were not too loud, and Lin Mu didn't express any opinions after listening to them one by one.

His gaze has been fixed on Liu Xiang, and the surrounding environment is still as similar as he remembered from his previous life.

On the big screen at the scene, Liu Xiang's list of men's 110-meter hurdles players has appeared.It's just that Lin Mu didn't have much interest in observing.According to the promotion rules, as long as Huaxia's athletes can not get down in the middle of the run, there is almost no possibility of being blocked in the preliminaries.

He is more concerned about Liu Xiang's current situation.From his observations, Liu Xiang's current state is okay, but the injury problem cannot be resolved, and it is not sure what kind of running he can do, or even whether he can run Lin Mu.

Out of real thoughts, Lin Mu hoped to give Liu Xiang some help, but it was obviously unrealistic to eliminate the injury all at once.Even Chen Jianhai's hidden dangers of minor injuries in the past have gradually diminished.

Until later, he almost never used Wikipedia to eliminate injuries for athletes.

Sprinting also includes hurdle events. The better the athlete, the longer he will be in a state of high explosiveness.Damage to the body from the effects of high bursts is inevitable.There must be a set of reasonable and scientific adjustment means, this is the most appropriate way.

It is impossible to regard the restoration of Encyclopedia as a normal method. This is not a long-term development path.

"Little Lin, what do you see?"

While observing, Luo Yi beside him couldn't help asking.

"It's okay for now, but... let's watch this game first..."

Lin Mu was about to explain, but the on-site game preparation instructions had already sounded.

"On your marks!"

The entire stadium, which was originally noisy, suddenly quietened down at this moment.The game is about to start, they can only wait for the time being.

"Bang~"

After a gunshot, in front of the starting line, Liu Xiang, who was in the second lane, had rushed out quickly.

Lin Mu stared closely at Liu Xiang's start and hurdle movements. The start was very comfortable. This is Liu Xiang's usual characteristic. The few steps on the first hurdle seemed to run smoothly, and there seemed to be no physical injuries. traces of illness...

The technical rhythm has not changed much!

Lin Mu shook his head secretly.

The real-time impact of the injury is not considered, but Lin Mu is a little disappointed in the technology itself.

In the past five years, except that his physical fitness seems to have improved and his flat running speed has increased, Liu Xiang has hardly changed his technical movements.

The hurdles project is a project of speed and explosiveness, but it is also a project of skill and technology.Compared with sprinting, it is more technically sophisticated.

There are 10 hurdles and two flat runs. Only by fully combining running and straddling can one become a truly outstanding athlete.Thanks to Lin Mu's development in core and physical training, the current track and field team is much stronger in basic physical training than in previous lives.

Not only sprinting, but also many other events have drawn on a lot of excellence in physical training.Liu Xiang is no exception here.

But these alone are not enough for hurdles.Even sprinting needs to adjust technical movements with the improvement of physical fitness, let alone hurdles.Failure to give full play to the excellence of physical fitness will obviously have little improvement in performance.

The strength is stronger, the explosive power is stronger, and the stability is stronger, then it is time to make some improvements in the pace of going up the first column and going down the last column.When striding between the hurdles, it is also necessary to change the flight and footsteps as much as possible.For hurdles, Lin Mu is not proficient, but he still has his own set of experiences on how to use his strength and quality advantages.

Here in the first column, at least Liu Xiang still has a lot of room for improvement.Judging from the technical situation he observed before, Liu Xiang was not as good as the best players in the world in the first few columns.This has a voxel disadvantage as well as a technical disadvantage.Of course, under normal circumstances, technology is supported by physical fitness.But obviously, Liu Xiang does not lack physical fitness at least for now.

If he can adjust well and the first three hurdles do not show any disadvantages, relying on his stable performance in the middle and the second half of the race, there will be a qualitative leap in the visible results.

How should I put it, it should be said that Huaxia's coaches, including Sun Ping, are not bad at the level of hurdle training.However, the consciousness is still within the physical range of the original Huaxia players, and the awareness of making full use of high explosiveness is not yet high. Liu Xiang's current technical situation is not ideal in Lin Mu's opinion.

Lin Mu also knows that it is not easy to adjust the pace here if you want to sprint on the first and last hurdles, even more than 200 meters.But the difficulty is not a reason not to adjust.

After a quick analysis in his mind, his gaze still never left Liu Xiang's figure.Ten seconds later, seven players on the field had crossed the finish line one after another.

13 second 43!

The first place in this group appeared on the timing board, and Liu Xiang won the first place in this group, which is not bad.

The audience cheered thunderously, happy for all members of Huaxia to advance to another event, and also applauded for Huaxia's top athlete Liu Xiang.

The focus of this moment is Liu Xiang, but he doesn't show any expressions of being active, cold, or excited as before.He just glanced at the score on the time card, and walked silently towards the passage.

In the stands, the leaders of the track and field team of the Huaxia delegation, who had watched the entire competition, breathed a sigh of relief.

Run down, get promoted, okay okay!

"Xiao Lin..."

The expressions on Luo Yi and Feng Yong's faces softened a lot, and they were also going to discuss with Lin Mu about the direction of the afternoon press conference.

Lin Mu shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "Director, Director Feng, my suggestion is to give Liu Xiang a suspension notice!"

"what?"

Luo Yi seemed to feel that he heard it wrong, and his voice suddenly amplified a lot.

"Here, Kobayashi, are you kidding me?"

Including Feng Yong, including Yu Weili, they were all surprised.

"Am I kidding? Liu Xiang's condition is not good now!"

Lin Mu was indeed not joking at all, and he also gave suggestions based on his own observations.It should be said that it is a judgment made in the most rational direction.But he knew it was unlikely.

Lin Mu's expression looked very serious, and Luo Yi also became more serious, "Xiao Lin, I think he ran well. Even if it was because of his health, no one would say anything. The impact can also be smaller, isn't that great?"

"what happened?"

Yu Weili also asked quickly.

Lin Mu explained, "From my observation, his injury tended to worsen during the run just now. Of course, it is not impossible to continue running, but if it is out of consideration for the athlete's body, if he wants to run well The situation will only get worse if he runs down explosively. He is still young, and he doesn't really need to rely on one or two desperate games to prove anything."

"Aggravated?!"

Luo Yi frowned deeply, and he believed Lin Mu's judgment to some extent.If it really gets worse, then you really have to think about it.

"I can't be sure about the specific situation, but it is judged from my experience. It will be clear after I go back and check."

Lin Mu shook his head, and continued: "What I mean is, if there is a real tendency to intensify, it is recommended to suspend him."

Feng Yong continued, "Xiao Lin, even if the situation is true, the suspension is not good after all, right? The athletes should have their own judgment."

Lin Mu nodded. According to the normal situation, young and honorable athletes do have judgment, and they will also consider their own bodies.For example, in his previous life, Liu Xiang voluntarily withdrew from the race when he felt unable to run.

But after Lin Mu analyzed it, the current situation is obviously different from the past.

In his previous life, Liu Xiang was placed with hope by all the people, but he still chose to give up for the sake of his future career, and did not run a game.

Lin Mu wasn't sure about the injury at that time, but he agreed with Liu Xiang's choice.No matter how many athletes talk about winning glory for the country, no matter how many responsibilities and missions they shoulder, they still run for themselves first.

But it was running for himself that led to Liu Xiang's current situation.

In the communication with Sun Ping yesterday, Sun Ping said that Liu Xiang thought that he didn't want to give up the game, and he didn't even want to announce his injury.

Lin Mu was also a little surprised at the time, but he almost understood after thinking about it carefully.

It was because of the pride in his heart, or just because of Zhao Lin's shocking run, which not only raised the audience's expectations and enthusiasm, but also put more pressure on him.

Sometimes it is not an easy task to have someone standing in front of you.Especially for someone like Liu Xiang who has always been at the forefront and has always been the focus of the public's attention.

"Forget it, I'll just say that, this notice in the team won't come out!"

Lin Mu shook his head.Under the condition that the athletes do not make mistakes, the delegation cannot take the initiative to make this decision during the normal competition period of the Olympic Games, otherwise, there will be too many things to bear!

"Go back and have a look first, let's go!"

After Luo Yi finished speaking, he greeted everyone, got up and left.

The morning game was over, and they just said a few more words to communicate.At first, Liu Xiang seemed to have run perfectly, Luo Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but now he became tense again.

"Let's go!"

Lin Mu shouted and waved to the athletes on the other side.

"Coach, Liu Xiang's condition is not good?"

Following Lin Mu's footsteps, Yang Zuyao seemed to have guessed the situation, so he leaned over to ask a question.

"Well, not so good!"

Lin Mu nodded, not surprised that Yang Zuyao could guess him, but he didn't explain the specific situation.After all, it has little to do with Yang Zuyao and the others.

"Xiao Yang, if you plan to continue to be a coach in the future, you must always remember one thing..."

After walking a few more steps, Lin Mu thought for a while, and then said seriously: "At any time, under any circumstances, don't be fooled by the so-called glory and face. Don't hold on to what you already have and don't dare to let go for a moment. Don't always think about keeping something and trembling. Think more about the present and the future, have a progressive attitude, and be rigorous and rational!"

"Oh!"

The coach's words seemed to be a little thoughtless, but Yang Zuyao still responded.

Following behind the coach step by step, he thought about it.
