General Administration.

In the office of the director, Director Hou held the reading glasses on his nose and carefully read the documents in his hands.

Director Hou was an athlete. After retiring, he took charge of the women’s volleyball team and led the women’s volleyball team into the most glorious moment. Later, he entered the General Administration of Sports of the People’s Republic of China at the time. Since the first Olympic gold medal of Xu Haifeng, he has witnessed the growth and glory of national sports step by step. It can be said that he dedicated his life to the national sports career.

This year’s Director Hou is 64 years old. After the Athens Olympics next year, he will retire and leave his life-long sports post. But at this moment, he did not have the slightest slack for retiring. He wanted to stand up for the last job, not only for that duty, but also for the career he loved and fought for his whole life.

Many people think that next year’s Athens Olympics is to prepare for the Capital Olympics, so don’t be too demanding on your results. However, Director Hou does not think so. He very much hopes that the national team can achieve excellent results in the Athens Olympics. He also hopes to make breakthroughs in certain events. Although the patriotic mood dominates, for a soon to retire For the elderly, it is a perfect end to decades of work.

What Director Hou holds at the moment is the list of people who currently meet the Olympic standards for track and field events.

The 110-meter hurdle of Liu Feiren is obviously the most dazzling star on this list and the player most favored by Hou. According to the current level of Liu Feiren, it is enough to be able to impact a medal in the Olympic Games, thus achieving the breakthrough of the zero medal on the national men’s short track and field event.

“Huh?” Director Hou glanced at the men’s 100-meter sprint event, but found that there were two names, all of which were marked with the Olympic a standard.

“Two people!” Director Hou took a closer look to confirm that he was not mistaken, and then his eyes showed excitement.

“The men’s 100-meter sprint is usually so reluctant to enter the Olympic b-mark. This time, two people reached the a-mark, maybe they can run into the second round. Chen Jian? I have heard of this name, the last Asian Games seems to take After receiving the medal, he was a very good guy; Zhang Guan? Who is this?” Director Hou thought carefully and found that there was no impression at all, so the secretary came in and pointed to the list and said: “Go to the men’s 100 meters. Get the information.”

The secretary immediately notified Tian Xie. Within 20 minutes, the information of Chen Jian and Zhang Guan was transferred to the secretary’s email address.

“Chen Jian, 100m runner-up in the 2001 East Asian Games; 2002 100m runner-up in the Busan Asian Games, 4x100m runner-up; 2002 National Athletics Grand Prix finals 100m champion…” Director Hou looked at Chen Jian’s information. I have been honoured all the time and have always seen the “National Championship of Huangpu 100m in the National Track and Field Championships”.

Director Hou smiled with satisfaction on his face and said to himself: “The National Track and Field Championships Huangpu Station, the personal best of 10 seconds 17. This event seems to have been completed the day before yesterday, that is to say, Chen Jian’s It’s in good shape. It might be a good breakthrough to send to the Olympics.”

Director Hou opened Zhang Guan’s information again.

“Zhang Guan is only seventeen years old and so young!” Director Hou looked down, and the only one in the honor column was the honor of “Asia Championship Championship.”

Director Hou’s face suddenly became somber. He summoned the secretary, pointed at Zhang Guan’s poor information, and asked, “What’s going on? Why is this the only thing?”

The secretary knew that Director Hou felt that Zhang Guan had too little information and thought he was not doing well. He immediately began to defend and said: “I just wanted to report to you. For this Zhang Guan, Tian Xie gave these materials. When I first received this information, I thought Tian Xie had leaked it, so I called. I specifically confirmed with the Association of Track and Field. The Association said that Zhang Guan was only 17 years old and had not participated in any competitions before. The Asian Track and Field Championship qualifier was the first official competition that Zhang Guan participated in, so there is only this record .”

Director Hou’s expression eased a lot, and then asked: “Since there is no record of the game, there should always be training! For example, which sports school did he train in, which sports school was selected, which coach did he follow? . But here is only the household registration and the team registration.”

“According to the IAAF news, this Zhang Guan took only two months of regular training when he participated in the Asian Athletics Championships, and he was not selected for sports school training. He was an ordinary high school student and had not experienced sports training.” Secretary After speaking, he whispered: “It is said that this Zhang Guan was unearthed by Chen Lao.”

“Did Mr. Chen excavate?” Director Hou nodded, and Mr. Hou still highly recognized Chen’s ability.

“So this athlete was not selected in the system.” Director Hou tapped the table gently, and the word “genius” kept flashing in his mind.

The training of domestic athletes has a complete system. Sports teams and sports schools at all levels take up a lot of staffing and financial allocations, and also shoulder the important task of athlete selection and training. Those famous athletes basically spend nine years of compulsory education on training. Athletes such as gymnastics even start training from the age of three or four. In this case, an athlete from a non-system can achieve this result, which only shows that he is a genius!

I saw Director Hou suddenly shook his head and said: “No, we can’t send such a person with no experience in the competition. This Zhang Guan has not been on the international arena, and it is definitely not possible to go directly to the Olympics. This is too irresponsible. The Olympics is not just a sports game, it is also a performance of the country’s image. Even if it is only played once, even if it is just a picture, it represents the country! We can lose the game, but we must not lose face to the country.”

Director Hou has experienced too many generations of sports people. The war in the country when he was young, the passion for the construction of his youth, the growing strength of the country after middle age and the rise of the great power after old age. From the first encounter with the hostility and indifference of the Western world, to the respect and praise of the West, no one can appreciate the importance of the national image more than their generation of sportsmen. And the Athens Olympics is the last major event in his tenure, he hopes that every team member can achieve good results.

I saw Director Hou took out his pen and wrote instructions under Zhang Guan’s information: Make sure that he participates in an international event before the Athens Olympics, and strive to accumulate experience in international competitions! Strive not to be nervous or frightened during the Olympics.

Field Management Center.

Director Ma once again called everyone to the meeting room.

“General Director Hou personally instructed, everyone has circulated it! Our center leaders personally told me to strictly implement the instructions of Director Hou and implement them to the real place. The meeting today is mainly to discuss this matter. “Director Ma said looking at the guidance, said: “Yu guidance, you are mainly responsible for the sprint event, so you first talk about your opinions.”

Director Yu coughed, cleared his throat, and said, “I will talk about the domestic competition first. This year’s competition is only the year-end grand prix of the National Athletics Championships in November. This competition needs to be accumulated in previous races. There are enough points to participate, so Zhang Guan is not eligible. As for next year’s event plan, there will be a national indoor track and field championship after the Spring Festival. In addition, about April will be the start of the national track and field grand prix round-robin, but there should be one in the national track and field grand prix. The station is a trial for the Athens Olympics. Zhang Guan’s score reached the Olympic a standard, and he has already qualified for the Athens Olympics. You can not participate. Except for the preparation time of the Olympics, I estimate that Zhang Guan will be able to participate in one or two stations at most. .”

“So little?” Director Ma frowned, and then asked, “What about international events?”

“Internationally, there will be the ninth Asian Athletics Championships late this month. The World Championships in Athletics Championships are not eligible, and there will be no other events this year. Next year’s Golden League events are too high and mainly held in Europe The level of athletes in our country cannot be invited by the organizing committee of the event; next year’s World Athletics Grand Prix series will need to be at least 18 years old to participate in the competition. Zhang Guan will not reach the age of 18 in the second half of next year. Requirements. Afterwards it will be the Olympic Games.” Yu Guidao said.

“Wouldn’t it be the 9th Asian Athletics Championships later this month?” Director Ma thought for a while and then asked, “What about the youth competition?”

“Youth competitions are relatively few, and next year there will be a World Youth Athletics Championships. The competition time is from the end of July to the beginning of August next year. The venue is in Italy, very close to Athens.” Yu Gui said.

Director Ma sighed in disappointment: “Time is not allowed. The Athens Olympics will open on August 13th. Before that, athletes need to participate in training. Especially for the first time athletes, the training courses will be more. In addition, the deadline for registration for the Athens Olympics is early July.”

Everyone here immediately understood that the registration information of the Athens Olympic athletes must be reviewed by the State Administration of Sport. At that time, the World Youth Athletics Championships had not yet begun, so Zhang Guan’s registration information still did not have any experience of international competitions. This obviously shows that the center does not have To execute the order of the General Administration, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed.

“It seems that only the ninth Asian Athletics Championships will be left in the end. Be prepared to send a letter and let Zhang Guan participate in the Asian Athletics Championships.” Director Ma said helplessly.

“Will that increase the quota or replace the original participants?” Yu Gui asked immediately.

Director Ma thought for a while and said, “Replace the original participants! At this time, the quota for the competition has already been set, and the financial allocation has been in place, all of which are calculated on a per capita basis. There is no way to solve it. The entire food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in trouble. The audit is not easy to explain.”

Yu Gui then asked: “What about the 4-by-100-meter project? Zhang Guan never ran through the relay!”
