Chapter 116 "Heirloom" Record

the next day.

The first round of the 5000m race.

There are four rounds of 5000 meters, two rounds of trials, then semi-finals and finals.

Chu Chao saw many African players again.

This project has to be dominated by Kenyans and Ethiopians, and Moroccans are also okay.

The main reason for this is ... altitude.

The unique geographical environment of the East African plateau and the genetic evolution of tens of millions of years have created their strong blood oxygen saturation.

Just like the Chinese are best at taking exams.

Secondly, it is... poor.

Long-distance running doesn't cost money...

Lowest training cost...

One pair of shoes at most.

Shoes can not be.

What's more, if you don't eat well, you can't grow your muscles, and you can't do sprinting.

I can only practice long-distance running.

Gee.

5000 meters is considered his weak project.

In the training match, his 5000-meter score was second only to Zong Qing and Dong Jian, and he was third in the team.

Rhythm is really not easy to practice.

The point in the middle is not easy to grasp.

The addition of speed and strength really cannot completely solve the "rhythm" problem.

and……

5000 meters is also the track and field event that is most likely to be a dark horse.

If you can't grasp it yourself, it's difficult for others to grasp it.

but……

Among the current professional players in this competition, there is a "Super Demon King".

Joshua Cheputgay.

What level is this dude?
He is the current world record holder for men's 5km, 10km, and 15km.

Two years ago, at the Diamond League Monaco station, he ran 5000:12 in the 35-meter race, breaking the 36-year-old 16-meter world record.

Two months later, he broke the men's 26-meter world record with a time of 11:00.

Half a year later, he won the men's 5000m at the Tokyo Olympics.

A year later, he won the [-]-meter World Championships.

Looking at these scores...

It makes the scalp tingle.

Super genius.

Super perverted.

Oh, right……

This buddy is also the first player in history to win the Diamond League Finals + Cross Country World Championships + Track and Field World Championships at the same time.

Moreover, it took only seven months to achieve this goal.

Its historical status is equivalent to Kipchoge in the marathon field and Bolt in the sprint field.

This is...

These three projects all belong to subdivided fields, and the attention is not so high.

Otherwise, this kind of super genius must be famous all over the world.

Chu Chao really felt the pressure.

Not human!

……

"Haha, don't set too high psychological expectations on yourself, just think of it as training with a game."

"I just ask, don't get hurt."

before the game.

locker room.

Yuan Qiang acted very Buddhist, and explained to Chu Chao with a smile.

Chu Chao is already No.1 in Asia in the [-]-meter plus marathon.

The marathon is the best in the world.

Even if there is no result in such a 5000-meter event, it is normal, so don't worry too much about it.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

What's more, in the international track and field competition, the national team is used to being pressed on the ground and rubbed against this kind of event.

Been used to it for ten years.

It used to be Bekele, the king of [-] meters.

After Bekele retired, another Cheput cover appeared.

In addition to these two, there are a lot of African players, too many to count.

and……

The current domestic 5000-meter record holder was created in 1997, with a score of 13 minutes and 25 seconds.

It's a record of the last century!
No one has broken it yet.

It can be seen how miserable this project is in China.

Moreover, the National Games even canceled the 5000-meter event!

If you can't play, then don't play.

This stuff, similar to the triathlon, is tasteless and dispensable.

Hearing what Yuan Qiang said, Chu Chao nodded silently.

I feel a little bit uncomfortable in my heart.

Can't play, don't play?

What is this called?

The Buddhist system lies flat, although it is also a way.

But...it's not the way of a professional athlete.

Fighting spirit and spiritual will, if there is a corner missing today, will be cracked tomorrow, and it will not be far from collapse.

There is always someone stronger than you in this world, if you can't beat them, just stop fighting?
That will eventually be irreversible.

However, at this moment, Chu Chao didn't bother to argue with him.

He is also kind.

until……

Stand on the playing field.

……

On the runway, Chu Chao was warming up, looking at Cheputegai curiously.

He is tall and thin, with deep forehead lines, a little green face, and ignorant eyes.

It's the kind of body that African long-distance runners usually have.

This game...

Maybe it really doesn't matter.

The audience and reporters on the field are much less visible to the naked eye, and those who go to the bathroom go to the bathroom.

It is equivalent to the "garbage time" of a big drama.

After a while.

On the field, there was a sudden burst of shouting.

In the auditorium on the west side, there was a little commotion.

Many reporters and spectators rushed there one after another.

This... stunned the athletes on the track.

what's the situation?
Chu Chao glanced subconsciously, not knowing why.

Perhaps, some superstar appeared in the auditorium and attracted all the attention.

In yesterday's [-]-meter race, Chu Chao only found out afterwards that Bolt was actually watching the race.

He also praised his performance after the game when he was recognized by sharp-eyed reporters.

He retired with meritorious service and is now one of the living signs of the IAAF.

Today, who is the boss again?
"Who?"

Chu Chao leaned towards the sidelines, and finally grabbed a reporter who was running towards that side. He was Chinese, but not from CCTV, but from Sohu Sports.

"Mbappe."

He naturally knew Chu Chao and said casually.

Chu Chao: ...

Depend on!
Jenny Turtle!
You don't talk about martial arts!
You are a football player, what are you doing here!

I was complaining in my heart...

And the reporter's next sentence broke Chu Chao's defense even more.

"It's not Mbappe himself, it's his younger brother, Etan Mbappe, who is also a Parisian player now, a central midfielder."

"This buddy is the same age as you, only 17 years old."

"The popularity in France is already very high, similar to... er, the national brother."

As he said that, he felt a little embarrassed, shook off Chu Chao's hand, and hurried towards the crowded place.

Chu Chao: ...

Ah.

They all laughed angrily.

What is this called?
One person gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to the sky?

Sure enough, in Paris, Mr. Mu has covered the sky with one hand, and even his own brother has been assigned to the first team.

Perhaps his younger brother's strength is enough, but relationship must also be a major factor.

Not only is the country a humane society!
The world is as black as crows.

Messy thinking about this...

Chu Chao took a deep breath and refocused on the game.

Cheputgai also looked there, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Even if he is a super genius, what about being No.1 in the world?

Weaknesses in competitions are natural.

The heat of [-] meters is not as good as football.

Not to mention, the subdivision of 5000 meters.

awful.

The assistant referee raises the flag.

All players take their places.

Right now, I can't hate, and I can't be excited, because I have to run for a long time, and I can't support my emotions for that long.

If he could support it for that long, he would probably have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Chu Chao's heart moved inexplicably, thinking of the "side by side" tactic in the London Marathon last time.

This is its own unique advantage.

Plenty of stamina, full of strength, and enough speed and explosiveness.

Other athletes, if they rashly follow high-level players, can easily be overwhelmed.

However, with my strong physical fitness, I can still hold on.

side by side first...

At the sprint stage, rely on the [-]-meter level to overtake.

Rhythm……

I have no rhythm!
Your rhythm is my rhythm!
As long as I am in good health, it is equivalent to deep internal strength, and the "side by side" tactic is a small non-phase skill on the field.

All right!
That's it!
The starting gun sounded.

Cheput Gai took the lead.

He's used to leading the way.

Therefore, Chu Chao followed immediately.

Running this way is effortless.

Nothing to think about.

In the 5000-meter race, the results can actually be very good.

Like Zong Qing, with a best time of 54 minutes and [-] seconds.

For Cheput Gai, however, it was twelve minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Leading by nearly a minute and a half.

This is enough to be a "ring".

One lap of the runway is only 400 meters, and it takes 5000 laps to run 12.5 meters, which is about 1 minute.

Chu Chao's mind was empty, thinking about these things.

The foot frequency is always consistent with Cheput Gai.

……

The commentator on the sidelines, whose voice was not as passionate as that of the [-]-meter race, spoke slowly.

"The game is on!"

"Cheput Gai leads the way! This is his best rhythm running method!"

"Hey... let's see, the new Asian [-]-meter record holder, Chu."

"In this race, Chu obviously adopted the same follow-up tactics as he did in the London Marathon. He is strictly imitating the rhythm of Cheput Gai..."

"Obviously, he is copying homework!"

"This is a relatively wonderful way of running, but I have to admit that this kind of running is not something that ordinary people can imitate."

"Cheput Gai is the current 5000m world record holder!"

"First of all, you have to be able to keep up with him!"

"Secondly, you have to be able to keep up with him!"

"Let me give you a simple analogy. It's like a car that runs five kilometers at a constant speed. People follow you, and you have to follow it all the time."

"Oh, young Chu, he really looks like a man who runs after a car."

"I want to look forward to, when can he follow?"

The 5000-meter race lasted more than ten minutes, and the televised images gave the narrator plenty of room to show off.

the other side.

Yuan Qiang was also watching this scene, his eyes lit up slightly, but he was also a little nervous.

Chu Chao, really, gave him another surprise.

"Side by side" tactics.

This should be a tactic created by this kid himself.

However, it does fit, his extraordinarily strong body.

If you can keep running with this rhythm, when it's time to sprint, maybe...it's really possible to overtake!

A historical breakthrough of 5000 meters.

Domestic unprecedented.

Even if... you can't take the first place, it's still pretty good to break the old domestic record in 1997.

It's been left there all the time, it's too ugly.

This thing is not happy to be a family heirloom!
……

Cheput Gai was a little confused.

His eyes were already dazed, revealing a kind of innocence and foolishness.

At this time, I was even more confused.

He suddenly discovered that this young Chinese man had been following him since he started running.

He can even keep up!
Now I have run more than ten laps, after nearly 4000 meters, the last two laps.

The Huaxia people are still following!

Moreover, it seems that the physical strength is still very abundant!

From time to time, he grinned at himself, very friendly.

Cheputegai was inexplicably flustered for a while.

This is not a good thing after all.

Under normal circumstances, by this time, his performance would already be significantly ahead.

Rings are a common occurrence.

In today's game, he felt that he was in good shape.

however……

But there was a follower.

At this time...accelerate?
It doesn't quite add up.

After many years of training, the rhythm has been very stable, and the arrangement of physical strength is that after running the entire field, it is just exhausted.

Besides...

This is not the final sprint.

There were all kinds of entanglements in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with them.

Chu Chao was very comfortable.

This is the easiest race I have ever run.

It is not as exciting as the [-] meters, nor is it as extreme as the marathon.

Just run along.

The heart and lungs are on the verge of limit, but not yet.

Physical strength is much more abundant.

At the last 500 meters...

Chu Chao glanced at Cheputegai, started to speed up ahead of time, showed the energy to sprint for [-] meters, and sprinted like a running cheetah.

Cheput Gai didn't have such a long sprint distance.

However, seeing Chu Chao sprinting, he couldn't help it anymore, and started sprinting ahead of time.

The current first echelon is just these two people.

If you don't rush, the distance is really not enough.

The first will be gone.

but……

Taking up the sprint, how could he be Chu Chao's opponent?

He could only look at the bad boy with despair, and followed him for eleven laps. At the end, he started sprinting and got the overtake.

It's like... a ride on a ride.

finish line.

Chu Chao arrived first without any difficulty.

Even before the end, he looked back at the moon and took a look.

This small action is not harmful, but extremely insulting.

Cheput cover...

The mood is a bit broken.

After crossing the line, he couldn't help covering his face and crying.

Crystal tears burst out from between the fingers.

This scene……

Chu Chao was stunned.

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

So she stepped forward and reached out to pull him up.

Cheputgai wiped away his tears, sniffed, took a deep look at Chu Chao, shook off his hand, turned and left.

mean!

Shameless!
Damn thief!
Stole my first!

but……

He couldn't say this.

The game has been settled.

Chu did not have any violations.

He just made full use of his physical advantages and chose the running method that suits him best.

Steal teacher!

The brains of Chinese people are really easy to use!

hateful!

……

"12 minutes 39 seconds 28!"

"New national record!"

"Beautiful job! Pretty boy!"

"Wooden ah!"

After the game, Yuan Qiang directly hugged Chu Chao's forehead, kissed him hard, and smiled happily.

This is very comfortable.

If this is passed back, the leaders of the center will have to reward themselves.

Dust-laden...uh, from 97 to now, a national record that has been dust-laden for 26 years!

It has finally been refreshed!

Although it is still a bit short of the world record.

In this game, Cheput Gai did not run at his best level.

However, it is already very good.

……

Lu Province.

ZB city.

In the office of the chairman of a company, 48-year-old Xia Fengyuan was smoking a cigarette, watching the game screen broadcast on the computer, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

He picked up the wolfberry water next to him and took a sip.

puff!
Spitting seeds.

Now he has a big belly and a burly figure. He is no longer the young and fast man he used to be, and he can drink a catty and a half of liquor.

The body also rebels every day, especially when it rains, the rheumatic joints hurt.

However, on the wall of the office, there are always photos of himself hanging on it.

That year...

is 1997...

10 month.

In the Shanghai stock market.

The Eighth National Games.

That year, the mascot of the Shanghai National Games was a cartoon cow, Yuanyuan.

Later, after his daughter was born, she was named after this name.

That was the brightest moment of my life.

To this day, I still dream about it occasionally.

After that game, he retired and went into business, and now he has a huge net worth.

However, this record is still a concern in my heart.

Since the cancellation of the 5000-meter event in the National Games, this concern has become bigger and bigger.

There is a word circulating on the Internet now, called "lifetime"...

Xia Fengyuan felt that in his lifetime, he didn't know if he would be able to see that someone had broken his own record.

This……

Come to think of it, a little pride.

Invincible for a lifetime.

The country is invincible.

However, it will be somewhat regrettable.

How come there are no newcomers?

And now...

inherited……

passed on.

He opened the video again, and seeing Chu Chao's handsome young face when he won the championship, he couldn't help but smile.

This guy is good, really good.

A rare genius in decades.

He has always paid attention to track and field, and recently, he has paid special attention to Chu Chao.

The Internet is crazy.

Everywhere I opened it was Chu Chao's news, breaking records time and time again.

There is a little girl in the company who changed the wallpaper on the computer screen to Chu Chao.

The world's first marathon.

The [-]-meter trapeze Asian record.

Indeed, it should have such a reputation.

just now……

today……

Chu Chao finally broke the 5000-meter record.

These years, the children are really eating better and better, and growing stronger...

My second son, who is only 16 years old, is only 1.8 meters five...

Thinking about this...

Snapped!
After patting the table, Xia Fengyuan heaved a sigh of relief and dialed a number.

"Old Wang, let's go, come out, drink beer, have a drink!"

……
