Public Network Poster News Reporter Zheng Hao Pan Wen Xi'an report

2 hours, 28 minutes and 01 seconds, this is the answer sheet submitted by an athlete who participated in the women's triathlon at the National Games. Such a result is actually not very prominent, after all, such a result in the 34ers finals can only make her 17th. It just so happens that she is also 17 years old this year. "I came here to see the world, and I really feel that the gap is so big!" In the first time after the game, the Shandong player named Ding Ya was interviewed by the public network poster news reporter.

Ding Ya's attention in this project, although not prominent at present, comes in part from his master, Wang Daqing, the first person in China's triathlon.

"Lonely" contestants

Among the 34 athletes who participated in the women's triathlon final, Ding Ya was relatively young. Among the participating teams in the whole of Shandong, Ding Ya's age is also the youngest.

In addition, the identity of Ding Ya is also relatively special. Because it did not fully reach the level of the final of the National Games, Ding Ya could only participate in the "wild card" - although he was an athlete in Shandong Province, this time Ding Ya competed as a Shaanxi team.

1500 meters swimming, 40 kilometers cycling, 10 kilometers running, such a schedule rules sound a bit exciting. For Ding Ya, this 17-year-old girl is also the first time to complete the course in the competition.

"In the past, I have trained the whole process, but this is the first time that the competition is better than the whole process." Ding Ya said.

So in the game, physical fitness and rhythm became the problems that Ding Ya had to consider again. "When I was riding a bicycle, I used to be able to cooperate with my teammates to see who could lead the belt, but this time it was only myself."

Training with the Shandong team, playing for the Shaanxi team, and being young, ding ya inevitably had some "lonely" thoughts. In order to let Ding Ya eliminate the concerns of the game, Wang Daqing, a coach who is far away in Jinan, has a video call with Ding Ya almost every day. Even on the day of the game, Wang Daqing organized his teammates to cheer for Ding Ya.

"You just went out to meet the world, don't think about it so much!" Wang Daqing repeated it over and over again.

Ding Ya knew this truth. But as a professional athlete, she always feels resistant to words like "countdown" and "snare" in her heart.

"I'm not strong enough, so I just want to don't get caught, don't get caught."

Time went back to 2019, when the then 15-year-old Ding Ya was in a mood. "I'm not practicing, I'm going to retire!" For this 9-year-old girl who is exposed to swimming and got a national first-class athlete certificate, and a 13-year-old girl who has changed to triathlon, it is too difficult to break through her bottleneck.

"After the 2019 Youth Games, I didn't want to practice. At that time, the results at the Youth Games were not good, and my mentality was also wrong, anyway, I didn't want to practice! It was also at the lowest point when Ding Ya was in the lowest mood that Wang Daqing stretched out an olive branch: "Or shall we try?" ”

Ding Ya's biggest headache in triathlon training is running training. "The last thing I want is to run, I set myself a goal, to run 5 kilometers into 20 minutes!" 」 Through training, the small goals set by Ding Ya for himself have been basically achieved before the National Games.

"I felt like I was a dying bird and he brought me back to life." Ding Ya was full of gratitude for his coach Wang Daqing.

The master is looking forward to the high disciple

Wang Daqing, who has been visibly blessed, was once the first person in China's triathlon. Wang Daqing achieved a 46th place at the Beijing Olympic Games, and there is still no junior in China who can surpass him.

Knowing that there is a huge gap between this sport and the top players abroad, Wang Daqing is particularly strict in the training process. Especially in terms of physical training, Wang Daqing showed no mercy.

15 minutes of cycling training, 4 minutes of high-intensity running;

15 minutes of cycling training, 8 minutes of intensity running;

15 minutes of cycling training, 4 minutes of high-intensity running.

……

Drum table bike training is not easy. Because the friction between the wheels and the drum is very small, this makes the team members try their best to maintain the balance of the car during the ride.

At the last minute of the 15-minute riding training, Wang Daqing will ask the team members to complete the action of taking off their shoes on the car. Because in the official race, after the end of the bicycle, they will enter the running project, and the runners will complete the project conversion in the transfer area, and the shoes used for cycling and the shoes used for running are not the same.

On the drum training table is the technique, on the treadmill is the physical fitness and limits.

"Just 30 seconds, just 30 seconds!" If you hold on to your last 30 seconds, you'll go up, and you'll still be in vain! ”

Every time such a high-intensity training, Ding Ya would emit a hysterical roar.

"That's how it all came to be, and that's how this project is." Wang Daqing said.

When the reporter asked if he had any ideas to train another Olympian, Wang Daqing's gaze changed significantly. However, the time is not yet ripe.

"I've seen the world and that insight has given me a better understanding of why coaches are so harsh on us in training. Of course, I will naturally train harder when I go back! Ding Ya said after the game.

Such insight seems to be heavier than the weight of a gold medal.
