CHAPTER XII: Debate and Results
“I oppose that Zhang Guang partic.i.p.ate in this secion of the Asian Athletic Championships” A middle-aged man said, this was a fat man with gla.s.ses.
The name of this man was Tang, he was not an athlete but a coach who worked in statistics was recognized as the head of the administrative section, in fact it was a good worker from the point of view of professional management. perhaps because of its good work with the a.n.a.lysis of data was a typical theoretical.
Just listen to the middle-aged man spoke and said: This Zhang Guang, he has explosive power and is very fast but in my opinion, he can not run long distances, it is not appropriate to partic.i.p.ate in the Asian Games.
“This is the Athletic Asian championship, in addiction to partic.i.p.ate in the 100 m sprint but also partic.i.p.ate in the relay race 4 x 100 m, and seen all relevant information Zhang Guang, he has only 2 months of training, plus does not reach the standard and not trained relay race, I do not think it is appropriate thathe partic.i.p.ate in the Asian games ”
“In the project of 100 m, the stronger j.a.panese they have world-cla.s.s athletes, n.o.buharu Asahara and Shingo Suetsugu both run in 10.10 s, which is much faster than our players, in addition to Jiang Shinji that have the same level our players, more Pudu and Murabark Saudi arabia, our players get a medal is practically impossible, besides j.a.pan in general is much better than Saudi Arabia, also a little stronger than Kazakhstan, I think we can win a bronze medal maybe silver but only if we dare in the relay 4 x 100 m ”
Tang Zhuren although it is an amateur athlete from the point of view of data a.n.a.lysis, the temptation for a medal sounds convincing.
“Less than” obviously do not agree with this statement and declared: select to Zhang Guang, lay it on the line with young athletes, let him gain experience in compet.i.tions, I saw the videos its potential is incredible reaction time is 0.30 s if he is able to remove 0.15 s of his time, together with daily training to improve I think he will be able to run in less than 10 s, he will be a world-cla.s.s athlete, I think it is worth the price, its presentation already reached the level of A standard a for the Olympics, for the Olympics next year I think we should send Zhang Guang for the experiencie.
That makes sense, the potential of Zhang Guang is realmentegrande, Tang Zhuren affirmed for the first time but then said, “But the growth of a young athlete takes time, and your reaction time is a problem, I fear that only with months of training The it can not reach a higher level, not go so far Liu Fei in the draft 110m hurdles, in 1999 he joined the national team with only 16 years, we focus on training in 2001 when he obtained success and in 2002 Asiad when I broke the asian record, to qualify for the world athletics Championships this year, we spend 4 years of effort to make it a world-cla.s.s athlete. this Zhang Guang i am afraid it will take 2 or 3 years to make him a world-cla.s.s athlete..
Tang Zhuren paused deliberately turned toward Ma Zhureb and said “as for the Athens Olympics next year, it is too early to discuss submit to this compet.i.tion, but achieving Zhang guang to achieve the standard to the Olympics did not help us , we are only going to send one athlete, Chen Jian still not achieved the standard B of the Olympics, I think it’s safer for this compet.i.tion send someone with more experience, Zhang Guang is still too young to partic.i.p.ate, a great career does not mean this at that level, it is very risky.
Tang Zhuren this surprised Zhang Guang break the record of 100 m national, but only partic.i.p.ated in one race n.o.body can guarantee that Zhang Guang will produce results, compared with those old athletes they expect other than a shooting star, to bright light after a moment disappear into the darkness of the night
Ma Zhuren frowned, he knows that Zhang Guang send this race at a great risk, if not achieve anything the national team will have lost in vain relay race 4 x 100m. for the national athletics team it is difficult to win any medal.
What he says is reasonable Zhueren Tang, Chen Jian is safer than Zhang Guan, after all is still very young, inexperienced, still you have many opportunities.
For all these years the development of sports in Guangdong is pretty good, we have cultivated a large number of athletes who have made outstanding contributions to the country ”
In addiction “Less Than” the other coaches nodded in agreement ,.
the region of Guangdong and Guangxi has always been a province of Sprinters, currently the best-known players Chen Jian, Zhao Yian Han, Liu Yang, are from southern Guangdong Province, and young athletes Wen Yongyi, Liang Jianhong are Guangdong also, worth mentioning that in the future the first person to run 100 meters in 9.99 s is also in Guangdong.
coach Yuan, coach of the track team in Guangdong, went to Hong Kong and introduced numerous methods of exercises, training many outstanding athletes, better performance, the right to speak the national team, Guangdong Province has a of the best economies in the south, so no matter whether in administration or in sports Guandong has good relations and contacts.
Ma Zhuren is at the top in athletics; Chen Jian to practically been chosen by default for the Athens Olympics is an honor granted to him Guangdong Province, clear that it possesses the strength to partic.i.p.ate in the Olympic Games. in general the a.s.sociation of athletes gave the green light.
Zhang Guang only 17 in 5 years will have 22 years will be in the main age, Perhaps now asking him to Attend the Olympic Games really is too early.
Just Listen Ma Zhuren said Ta Zhuren said train an athlete is not easy, even It would take genius several years to become a world-cla.s.s athlete, 100m Sprint is a great project but Zhang Guang is still very young, not time to send him to a career, there are more opportunities in the future ”
Ma Zhuren looked very reluctant and said, “but Zhang Guang broke the national record, so I’m idiendo to the a.s.sociation $ 100,000 in cash and 1 million in a grant for training, there should be no problem I think Zhang Guang has unlimited potential for the Olympic games in the capital ”
“Less Than” nodded clarmente recognizing the words of Ma Zhuren, he knows the importance of the Olympic Games in the capital in 5 years, Ma Zhuren lead the national athletics team in 5 years to partic.i.p.ate in the Olympic games, so he has the final choice of the athletes who are going to partic.i.p.ate
……………………………..
Lao Chen knew that this result was not surprising, and calmly he told Zhang Guang.
“I will not send to the compet.i.tion relay 4 x 100 m, and the current situation’m not very optimistic on the partic.i.p.ation of the Olympics in Athens next year,”
Chen Lao solemnly said: “You have to remember that sports compet.i.tions are cruel, that sportsmanship or anything, for athletes only accomplishments worth, Asian Games relay 4 x100 m if you lose the chance in this race lose the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the Olympics, if you do not want this to happen again have to train hard and get great achievements in compet.i.tions, and when you are at the pinnacle of the world at that time no one will be denied entry.
Zhang Guang nodded and said, “Do not procupes Lao Chen, that day is not far …………”
