Almighty Athlete Vol 1 Chapter 11

On the train back to the provincial capital, ZHANG Guan sat beside Chen Lao and asked: “Old Chen, this time I took the t.i.tle, i am not able to partic.i.p.ate in the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps?”

Chen Lao thought, then shook his head in denial: “Not necessarily, is unclear.”

“Why? This is not the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps trials do, as usual, that I took the t.i.tle, naturally i deserve to qualify to the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps.” ZHANG Guan somewhat impatient. The system also requires prompt task to partic.i.p.ate in an international compet.i.tion, if he no go to the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps, this task does not know how many year will take to complete.

Chen Lao heavy sigh, spoke and said: “.. Can not you think of things as simple as this compet.i.tion While the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps trials named, but does not represent the first trials will be able to represent their country.”

ZHANG Guan looked  confused at  Chen Lao, apparently did not understand the meaning of Chen Lao, but Chen Lao added: “Although you are the trials champion, but actually send you to play center is not large Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps so the situation is more complicated, as you can be so right conditions. not to mention a mere Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps, the Olympic Games is the selection of the Olympic a standard standard players may not be able to win over the Olympic B standard athletes. if i  tell you now you may not be able to understand, to see much more in the future, and will naturally understand. first under the heart, not because of breaking the national record to be proud, back then the sense of training. you only seventeen years old, as long as you do a  good training, not worry wou will be a champion. ”

Old Chen said that although very vague, ZHANG Guan then suddenly a little pondering.

Domestic athlete selection system, means that the interests of the parties in which the wrong complex selection of athletes to partic.i.p.ate in international compet.i.tion from not only consider internal factions, but also consider local interests. In some ways in terms of the interests of the local team’s aspirations for a more clear and cultivate local team painstakingly out of an athlete, a natural athlete need to give them the benefit, for the benefit of, can stop elite athletes go to a higher level road stadium, the athletes will be able to find some excuse to ban frozen, even forcing athletes to retire early.

Local team long years of excavation and train outstanding athletes, and then delivered to the national team, so the team must also give the place something in return, this is not the interests of the exchange, more like a mutual basis, to the development of sport and must be present backing.

This compensation is not just an economic return, also contains the same honor.

For some weak projects, qualify for the Olympics, he is an honorary member! By means of a distribution of honors.

Later, as a person, even if this kind of thing will not say too bright Bai Zhangguan know,A standard B standard athletes contestants instead of things in subsequent Olympic Games have occurred. London Olympic Games women’s weightlifting 54 kg cla.s.s project, then the national weightlifting team did not send the results of the first A mark contestants, instead sending B standard contestants, and later at the Olympics this project did not even get a medal.

Unlike weightlifting table tennis, as can easily send someone to gold, but it is undeniable strengths weightlifting national team, women’s 54 kg level, Chinese athletes have won Olympic gold medals, breaking the world record, that is, strength than in the past, but also the strength of the medal. But athletes in the selection process, was able to resist the temptation of Olympic medals, and unswervingly to the sectarian interests and local interests bow singles out a strong background level difference between the players to partic.i.p.ate in the Olympic Games, which fully reflects the Match II sportsmans.h.i.+p. The challenge facing the media after the game.

Compared to women held project, track and field men’s 100 meters sprint is no doubt perennial “light a phase”, the Olympic qualification is more suitable as honor given to a local team, as part of its support over the years national sports return .

Thought here, ZHANG Guan unwilling clutched fists, or if he has a big Yao Liu Fei, who is so well known and will not deprive yourself to qualify of the fear center, even partic.i.p.ating center will seek their own, not even a Olympic qualifications are likely to retain his job!

……

A national record of 100m project to the provincial track and field team brings leaders.h.i.+p condolences special commendation, the media sought after, the most affordable but also will be included in a provincial ZHANG Guan talents plan, each year you can enjoy the benefits.

And ZHANG Guan itself, in addition to significantly improve the position in the team, it is still an ordinary person, not to mention walking the streets, even if it is out of the track and field team’s training ground and no one recognized him. In the era of the network has not completely broke, a national record is far from enough to make players the star became a household name, let alone such a weak or long men ‘s 100m dash, far from the same pole that football has long been weak species frequent topic of media attention and infinite degree.

……

Tianguanz hongxin conference room.

When the final is being played on the big screen beyond ZHANG Guan Chen Jian scene, and finally zoom in, fixed on the scoreboard, above 10.16 seconds to score to a big close-up.

To guide hit the pause b.u.t.ton on the remote control, spoke and said:. “This is the last of the race you have seen, ZHANG Guan’s starting reaction time, although very slow, but his explosiveness is very good, speed is very fast for a 17 old years to achieve this level of speed and power, even in the US black athletes is also very rare. ”

Finished in guiding, eyeing the middle sat a flat head shaved, middle-aged man.The flat head man named Ma, is the national track and field team head coach, but also the a.s.sistant director of the center, and later was promoted to deputy director is a certainty, is the presence of all partic.i.p.ants in the highest administrative level a person.

Ma Zhuren pointed to the screen and saw, spoke and said: “This ZHANG Guan’s case, I have already sent in writing before the meeting everyone, and I think we also have to understand him this time next year as the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps in Athens. a practice game before the Olympics, General Administration of Sport is still relatively important, according to the plan before we Athletics, contestants man Sprinters project personnel have been identified, the original nature is not among the candidates.

ZHANG Guan broke the national record of the incident is also a we, in the end is already laid down in accordance with the original list of contestants is replaced ZHANG Guan compet.i.tion, which is why I convened this issue in the meeting today”

Ma Zhuren Then, look across to a more senior old comrades, spoke and said:. “How old you first talk about”

Old He nodded, spoke and said: “I was born to engage in the pole vault, sprint to be some understanding of the project, since Ma Zhuren let me say, I would say start a discussion about this ZHANG Guan is a good seedling ah, explosive. and speed are the best, as long as the normal training can guarantee the future will be National Cheng Kung University this year children only seventeen years old, is still relatively young, in terms of talent echelon training, should give these young people some of the potential opportunities; but I think he just made formal aspects of training, skills and experience of two months than older athletes there is a gap, if too Destructive Enthusiasm is not good. ”

He finished the old sit back, glared at him for guidance, the heart that this sophisticate, said a long time did not say equal, all nonsense.

Ma Zhuren also do not expect to know what the old could say what his intention is just to find someone to pick up the head, so that other people can speak their minds. How old this older man, what means usually do not mind, naturally it was a suitable candidate.

Sure enough, not so named Ma Zhuren again, people would take the initiative to open, said: “! I am against ZHANG Guan partic.i.p.ate in this session of the Asian Athletics Champions.h.i.+ps.”
