Chapter 147 The Hope of My Teammates
No one knows what kind of result Lu Wei can achieve in the 100-meter race. Among sprinters who are over 1.95 meters tall, there are probably only Lu Wei and Usain Bolt. There are no role models for these two.
Bolt's true strength was demonstrated in the 200-meter race, where he won the championship at the Caribbean Community Games in 2004 with a time of 19.93 seconds.
Running a 200-meter race in under 20 seconds at that age is truly amazing. He was only 18 years old at the time, and at that age, many athletes simply cannot incorporate much strength training.
Such achievements can be attributed entirely to talent.
Despite this, Bolt still cannot be used as a role model for Lu Wei, whose achievements are all reflected in the 200-meter event. It is said that he only started training specifically for the 100-meter last year.
Some people in the track and field team said that it would be more reliable to have Lu Wei train in the 200 meters instead of the 100 meters, as this event could greatly mitigate his disadvantage in the starting line.
However, Yu Wei immediately rejected this suggestion. Lu Wei was already training in four events: the 100-meter, 400-meter, shot put, and javelin. In addition, there was the 4x100-meter relay. Lu Wei was already competing in too many events. For the track and field team, it would be better for him to win a gold medal in one event than to win medals in several of them.
In terms of the quality of the results, a gold medal is far more significant than a bunch of silver or bronze medals.
找沈亮陪练的第一周,陆威在起跑的时候几乎被虐得满地找牙。跑10组60米他最多的一天只赢过3场,其他时候都只能赢1到2场。
Such a high win rate stimulated Lu Wei's self-esteem and also inspired Shen Liang.
The daily PK battles not only allowed Lu Wei to see his weaknesses, but also helped Shen Liang regain his confidence.
He could practically walk sideways in front of Lu Wei.
On the eighth day of training together, Lu Wei won three matches. Although his win rate was still low, it was the best result in their head-to-head record.
"Xiao Lu, you did a great job today, winning 3 games. You must maintain this tenacious spirit in the face of great difficulties and repeated defeats. Everyone is watching you!"
Shen Liang is only 18 years old, two years younger than Lu Wei, but his talent is indeed remarkable. The coaches don't dare to give him enough weight training, so his intensity in this area is only superficial.
In terms of 100-meter sprint ability, he could only rank 3rd or 4th in the relay team. However, because of his excellent explosive power and good cornering technique, he was entrusted with important responsibilities by the national track and field team at such a young age.
Shen Liang's time is now consistently around 6.6 seconds, and Lu Wei's time is occasionally breaking 6.7 seconds. The gap between the two is narrowing. However, people have noticed that although Lu Wei has made significant progress in his starts within a week, Shen Liang has also made considerable progress.
Wang Qiao believes that Lu Wei's physical strength is not a problem, but his lack of strength lies in his movements and the rhythm of running at the start.
Sometimes, Lu Wei would push off the ground too hard in his eagerness to accelerate, which would often cause his movements to become distorted and affect the angle of force application. As a result, his speaking speed would not be fast enough, and the effect of his force application would be worse than that of Shen Liang.
Shen Liang was almost driven forward by Lu Wei. He saw that Lu Wei had to put in amazing effort every day. He knew that Lu Wei couldn't run the first 60 meters as fast as him because of his height. Once he could train his starting speed to be comparable to his own, the chances of breaking 10 seconds would be very high.
Another point is that he feels exceptionally good after beating Lu Wei every day. It seems that so far, apart from Liu Feiren being considered a worthy candidate by Lu Wei, no one else has caught his eye.
If Lu Wei defeats me in this project, all the advantages I might have from being short will be gone, and most importantly, I'll never be able to swagger around in front of Lu Wei again.
Not everyone has the right to put on airs in front of the track and field team's boxing champion. Even Liu Feiren and Lu Wei were almost overtaken by Lu Wei in the 30-meter hurdles a few days ago, making his own advantage in this event all the more precious.
The two trained relentlessly, chasing each other, and the happiest people seeing this result were probably the leaders of the track and field team.
Because they won a bronze medal in the 4x100m relay at the World Championships, the track and field team leaders attached great importance to this medal, and it was something everyone hoped would improve the overall strength of these four people.
After training together on the 60-meter dash for ten days, Lu Wei began to win more and more matches each day, sometimes even matching Shen Liang's performance.
Shen Liang is ultimately a young athlete. Although his results are already quite good, his physical strength is still far behind that of Lu Wei, so his time has remained stagnant at around 6.6 seconds.
As a sprinter, even a slight improvement in performance is invaluable, and he worked very hard. However, starting in the second week, he noticed that Lu Wei seemed to be making progress every day.
Regardless of the sport, it's all about practice makes perfect. For athletes to achieve results, they need a lot of training to improve their athletic ability, to find their shortcomings through extensive practice, and then to continue training to improve.
Shen Liang also wanted to give it his all, but he found that Lu Wei's training volume was definitely beyond his ability to compete with. It was not easy for an average athlete to achieve 4 hours of high-intensity training per day.
Lu Wei's training time can reach at least 8 hours, and the quality does not decline. What Shen Liang finds most terrifying is that this strong training volume does not leave any signs of fatigue on Lu Wei's body. On the contrary, it has made his physical abilities even more abnormal.
What was bound to happen eventually came. When Lu Wei entered the third month of training and the two of them entered the second month of training together, he began to completely overwhelm Shen Liang.
Although Lu Wei won by a small margin each time, the results of the first training match have now almost reversed.
One day, when Lu Wei had won 8 out of 10 games and lost 2, Shen Liang slowly walked up to Lu Wei and touched Lu Wei's arm with his hand.
"Big guy, now you've finally surpassed me. I have no advantage over you anymore. What a wonderful two months!"
Shen Liang's words were laced with sarcasm, as if Lu Wei had stolen his most precious possession.
Lu Wei chuckled at the tone of the other party and went up to pat Shen Liang on the head: "You really can't stand to see me do well! Think about it, if you guys want to stand on the podium at the Olympics, is it better to rely on your own efforts or to rely on others? This is a question that anyone can figure out, I don't think I need to say it again!"
Besides, you've improved a lot recently. Shouldn't we thank each other? It's been a pleasant collaboration. Working together, standing on the podium together at the Olympics, even without the national anthem, we can still see the national flag raised. Isn't that awesome?
Lu Wei spoke with a broad smile, and Shen Liang couldn't figure out if he was being sincere or just trying to fool him. However, the thought of winning a gold medal at the Olympics still brought a smile to Lu Wei's face.
"Then your thigh needs to be a little thicker, otherwise the three of us won't have enough to hug!"
After Shen Liang finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Huo also come over. Although they didn't say anything, their expectant eyes showed their longing for the Olympics. Everyone was pinning their hopes on Lu Wei.
