Chapter 38: A new era

Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!
The person in charge of organizing the National Indoor Athletics Championships is now very big, and there are already coaches of several teams to reflect, hoping that top-level athletes will not participate in such small-level domestic events.
Athletes come to compete for nothing more than that medal, but each event has only three gold, silver and bronze medals, but there are six, seventy or even more athletes competing for it. This is because there are many wolves and less meat, and now the wolves are mixed in. A tiger couldn't help but say that the fattest piece of meat was taken away first, and the other wolves waiting to divide the meat naturally filled with opinions.
Medals are not only a manifestation of honor and training results for each team, but also a guarantee to apply for training funds in the coming year. Take one medal for the project, and there will be one more reason for applying for funds next year. This involves actual interests. The team united by coincidence.
It turned out that a Liu Feiren won the 60-meter hurdles, and everyone could barely bear it. This time there was another Zhang Guan. Once he came, he even brushed two records, which made the coaches of other teams a little unbearable. . The indoor track and field competitions are already fewer, and they have not lost two gold medals before. This is undoubtedly the cheese that touched everyone.
At the same time, Zhang Guan was called back to the national team training center by Yu.
After meeting, Director Yu directly asked, "How is Lao Chen's situation?"
"Rehabilitation is good, you should be able to get out of bed and walk around quickly." Zhang Guan said.
"After that? Can you still lead the team?" Yu Gui asked eagerly, this is his most concerned issue.
Zhang Guan replied somewhat disappointedly: "The doctor said that people with this disease cannot even work as a tired coach even after they recover."
Guidance nodded, a sad expression appeared on his face, and there was a hint of fear in the vagueness.
Yu Gui is sad for Chen Lao and is forced to leave his favorite track in life. That kind of mood can be understood by the coach; and he is worried about his future. He is afraid that if one day, he must also leave the track and field On the playing field, this kind of thought made him feel horrified, as if it was the feeling of a rabbit dying and a sad fox.
After a long time, Director Yu calmed down and then asked: "If Mr. Chen can't lead the team, what are your plans next?"
Chen Lao is Zhang Guan’s head coach. If Chen Lao leaves, Zhang Guan will naturally have to change coaches. For coaching and even the entire track and field team, changing Zhang Guan’s coach is a big thing. To Zhang Guan’s current level , General coaches are not qualified to teach him.
"I don't know." Zhang Guan shook his head, and then said: "Go step by step! Isn't this going to be the Olympic training soon, and then it will be the Olympics, I don't have much time to train in the provincial team. In addition, Fudan University I have agreed to admit me to school. After the Olympics, I went to Xinzhuang Training Base."
"You still have to go to college?" Yu Guideng was stunned. Most athletes go to college to get a name, and they still train as usual. It is possible to not return to school for two or three years. As for graduation, it's just more of a form.
Zhang Guan nodded seriously: "I want to learn English well, and I can use it when I go abroad."
"It's okay, it's a good thing to learn more while you are young." Yu Guidue replied: "But you don't have to worry about English. In a few months, the sports club will provide training for Olympic athletes, including English. For quick training, if you want to learn, sign up in advance, but you may have to study at night, and you still have to train during the day."
After Guidance finished, he picked up a folder and handed it to Zhang Guan. He said, "This is the track and field competition plan for this year, you have a look first. Last summer, I was going to let you participate as much as possible, familiar with the atmosphere of the competition, Accumulate experience. However, you have broken the Asian 100m record. At your current level, it is of little significance to participate in domestic events. The level of domestic events is relatively low. Competing with low-level players for a long time is not conducive to your growth. So I think that before the Olympics, you can participate in the last two stops of the National Athletics Grand Prix."
Zhang Guan looked at the game plan in his hands. The first is to hold the National Youth and Junior Athletics Championships on April 9. The youth level is for athletes aged 18 and 19, and the youth level is for athletes aged 16 and 17. In terms of age, Zhang Guan can participate in the youth competition, but as the Asian record is maintained, it is obviously inappropriate to participate in the youth competition.
Then came the series of the National Athletics Grand Prix. Among them, the first stop on April 17 and the second stop on April 22 were held in Guixi Province in the southwest. Athletes living in the east and the north would basically not participate; the third stop was 5 Held in Jinling on January 1st, it is not too far for Zhang Guan, but it is also possible to go; the last two stations were held on July 17 in the capital and July 30 in Jinmen, and the fifth station was not only a grand prix One stop of this year is also the National Open Championship of this year.
In addition, there is another competition before the Olympics is the National Athletics Championships and Olympic Trials held in Shizhuang on May 20th. According to this year’s Olympic rules, the deadline for track and field players to reach the standard is July, so the May 20th Olympic trials are an excellent opportunity for athletes to sprint for Olympic qualifications.
Yu Gui went on to say: "The Athens Olympics will open on August 13. Our country's Olympic delegation is expected to arrive in Athens on August 8 or 9. The confirmation of the Olympic participants should be in mid-July. So let you Participating in the last two races of the National Athletics Grand Prix is ​​mainly to maintain the state, so as not to lose body for a long time. Another thing is that the national team training next month is closed. In order to avoid athletes’ distractions, All the mobile phones must be taken away, that is, there is no way to contact the family. After going back, I will talk to the family members now, so as not to worry them."
...
After the National Indoor Track and Field Championships ended, Zhang Guan returned to the provincial capital.
Provincial hospital.
Perhaps because of Zhang Guan’s record-breaking record of two times a day, Chen Lao’s mood looks very good. The doctor also said that Chen Lao's physical recovery is very optimistic, I believe that it will not be long before he can be discharged.
The provincial capital in February is still cold, and the air is still filled with the smell of winter. As a northern city, central heating generally returns to the end of mid-March, so the wards at this moment are not only cold but even hot.
"Go and open the window a little bit, I think it's a little hot." Chen Lao said, and Zhang Guan immediately got up and came to the window, preparing to open the window.
"Is the willow tree sprouting outside?" Chen Lao asked suddenly.
"Not yet, but soon, it is estimated that it will germinate next month!" Zhang Guan replied intentionally or unintentionally.
"Spring is coming..." Chen Lao finished speaking and said, "I know that after this discharge, I am afraid I will retire completely, and I can no longer be a coach."
Zhang Guan's hand on the window suddenly burst into an inexplicable sadness in his heart. Zhang Guan knew how sad and helpless it was to let this old man who dedicated his life to the track and field career leave the track.
Zhang Guan wanted to comfort Chen Lao, but did not know what to say.
There was a moment of silence in the room. The outside wind blew in through the window. The cold felt on Zhang Guan's face, but it made him feel more numb.
"Old Chen..."
Zhang Guangang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Lao.
"Zhang Guan, you are the best athlete I have ever seen. I don't know where your limits are, but I believe that you will become the best athlete in the world." Chen Lao's voice was slow, but he said abnormally Clear and unusually firm.
He looked at Zhang Guan with expectation, and continued: "You are still young, and the road ahead is very long, but my old man has no chance to continue walking with you."
"My generation is talking about dedication. The purpose of my choice of sports is very simple, not for money, not for fame, or simply to win glory for the country! But your generation is different, I am not saying Your generation has no dedication, but it is a bit outdated to give dedication to your people, and it has become a scene to win glory for the country."
"But I still hope that you can win glory for the country. Now that you have the opportunity to enter the world stage, I would love to witness the moment you stand on the top of the world, I really want to see the five-star red flag flying on the Olympic track and field arena At that moment, I would love to hear our national anthem played at the award ceremony."
"This is my lifelong dream, but I didn't do it. I really hope you can help me achieve this dream..."
"Old Chen, I will definitely get the Olympic gold medal, I promise!" Zhang Guan turned around, his expression firm, but his eyes were faintly crystal clear.
Mr. Chen took a deep breath and slowly leaned on the bed, looking satisfied. He used a low voice: "It is the greatest achievement of my life to be able to accept you as my disciple!"
Zhang Guan walked to the bed and sat down slowly: "Old Chen, being your disciple is also the greatest honor in my life..."
...
Old Chen retired, and he completely left the track and field track he loved.
After leaving the provincial capital, he will return to his hometown, enjoy the retirement life with peace of mind, grow flowers and raise fish, just like ordinary people.
Looking at Chen Lao's car slowly going away, Zhang Guan's heart was already reluctant and sour. He held back tears and clenched his fists.
"Lao Chen, I will definitely take you to the scene four years after the Capital Olympics and let you see the moment when the national flag rises!"
...
An era is over, but a new era has just begun!
