Chapter 191 Moving the Army to the Capital

After the National Grand Prix, the national track and field team bid farewell to the Haigeng training base.

In the final months before the Olympics, the national track and field team's training base was located in the stadium of Beijing Sport University. After winter, spring had already arrived in Beijing.

When the plane arrived at the Capital Airport, everyone found that many media outlets had spontaneously gathered at the airport to wait for the national track and field team. Their main targets were Liu Xiang and Lu Wei.

With fans spontaneously coming to greet them, the scene became somewhat chaotic at times, with a large crowd crowding together, leaving almost no space for the athletes and coaches of the Chinese track and field team to pass.

The media rushed to the front of the line, and the fans who came to greet them had the same idea. In addition, the media were all trying to grab a good spot, and chaos broke out at the airport exit in a short period of time.

At this point, everyone wants to speak up to prove that they have the right to a more advantageous position.

Due to insufficient preparation for the unexpected situation, the police force at the scene was very weak. They tried to clear a path for the national team. However, at this point, everyone who came to pick them up had countless reasons to stay put. Eventually, they completely ignored the airport security personnel, and their voices were drowned out by the crowd.

"What's going on? So many people suddenly appeared! If you had told us earlier, we could have talked to the airport staff to resolve this. Now we're stuck here, what kind of mess is this!"

Yu Wei was a little annoyed at this moment, as the national team's path out was completely blocked by this narrow exit.

There are quite a few people now, and everyone has managed to maintain a balance, but they are still stuck in the same place.

"I'll go and try to communicate with them again..."

An Jian was a little panicked at this moment, because Yu Wei had just questioned him.

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly went to talk to the media, but to his surprise, the media did not acknowledge him at all. They were all sent by their respective companies, and no one paid any attention to him.

As the space shrinks, people's tempers gradually flare up.

There was no other way but to have the influential players communicate with them; it was originally a small matter.

At this point, we can only rely on Liu Feiren. He is now the core influencer, and when he appears in everyone's sight, he immediately attracts screams from fans and is chased by the media.

Lu Wei figured he was too tall to hide anyway, and besides, he didn't need to hide, so he followed and walked to the front.

Faced with the swarm of media and fans, three people immediately stood in front of Liu Feiren and separated him from them.

They initially thought that three people wouldn't be able to hold off so many people and would be easily scattered. Unexpectedly, these three people stood still, and the others couldn't move forward no matter what they did.

You can tell from their skills that they all have a background in martial arts.

Lu Wei had always assumed these people were staff members of the team, and he never knew what they did, nor did he bother to ask. Today, he finally figured it out.

These people are between 1.75 and 1.85 meters tall, and their movements are very synchronized, so they must have trained.

Seeing this, Liu Feiren didn't wait for them to ask questions and started chatting with everyone about his recent training and competition status, as well as the upcoming competition. These were not secrets, and you could guess the gist of it.

While he was speaking, the media and fans were busy pointing their cameras and phones at Liu Feiren and taking pictures non-stop.

After struggling with Lu Wei for a long time, they finally managed to squeeze out of the crowded throng.

After exiting the airport, we arrived at the track and field team's bus. Once everyone was on the bus, we felt that the world was finally quiet.

Back at Beijing Sport University, everyone suddenly noticed that Lu Wei's charm had increased considerably. Students from many schools would take out their phones to ask for photos with them. If they agreed, they would be overjoyed, but if they were refused, they wouldn't force themselves to take a photo.

The college students were generally quite well-behaved; most of them simply stopped to watch.

Back at Beijing Sport University, Feng Yong has moved his office to the university campus. He says he feels uneasy when the athletes aren't around. He only feels at ease when he sees them every day.

After returning, Yu Wei made some adjustments and then went to Feng Yong's office to report on his work.

"Boss, I think Lu Wei is good enough for the 4x100m relay. Should we consider giving up the 100m? The chances of winning a medal in this event are too slim. It would be better to focus our energy on the other events where we have a foundation."

Feng Yong smiled and handed Yu Wei the page in the People's Daily that featured Lu Wei's story: "Once something's been published in the People's Daily, it's hard to change. Now, when we meet leaders from other projects, the first thing they mention is Lu Wei. I'm afraid we have no room for change now."

Feng Yong then changed the subject: "You just said that Liu Yangyu's training showed signs of being excessive. Should we talk to Lao Sun and ask him to reduce the amount of training for our Liu Feiren?"

Yu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I don't think this is a good idea. We should give the coach his own decision-making power."

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't planned to discuss Lu Wei's participation in the 100 meters with Wang Qiao this time. It seemed that after becoming a leader, it was inevitable to want to use one's own opinions to change the training plans of coaches and athletes, which was not good. He used to hate leaders like that the most, and he should be more careful in the future.

On the other side, almost all the national team athletes appeared on the track and field.

Even athletes who had just participated in a high-intensity competition came to the field to jog and recover.

On the straightaway, Lu Wei had already begun shot put training. Compared to javelin, this event is likely to be more unpredictable. The two American heavyweights are actually on par with Lu Wei in terms of ability.

So far, although Lu Wei has shown considerable strength in all four events, his ability in these events is arguably stronger than his technique. To achieve his current results, he still needs to continue refining his technique in at least the two track and field events.

However, time is very tight, and Lu Wei needs to use competitions to adjust his form in the following months. Athletes have a peak every year; once they pass this peak, their form at other times is generally not comparable to that period.

Many athletes have experienced numerous major competitions, and they all understand that their best form should be in August. If they cannot adjust their form, they basically have no hope of reaching the Olympics unless they are exceptionally strong.

The track and field team did not schedule high-intensity competitions for Lu Wei at the beginning of the season because of his physical condition. An athlete can only be in good condition once a year, so when making training and competition plans for these young people, everyone considers suppressing their physical condition.

The team has many technical staff who can assess an athlete's physical condition based on various metrics. Lu Wei's physical condition is good; it seems his situation is roughly as expected.

Liu Feiren's physical condition is quite worrying. The examination showed that he had too much lactic acid buildup in his body, and there were signs of fatigue in several parts of his body.

Several leaders issued instructions to pay close attention to his situation.
