Xin'an Evening News Anhui Network Dawan News In the semifinals of the women's 800 meters of athletics at the Tokyo Olympic Games that ended on the evening of July 31, Anhui girl Wang Chunyu finished second in the group with a time of 1:59.14 and successfully advanced to the women's 800 meters final. This result not only refreshed her personal best, but also created the history of Chinese athletes advancing to the final of the women's 800 meters event for the first time in the Olympic Games.
On August 1, xinan evening news, Anhui net, and Dawan news reporters contacted Wang Chunyu's coach Zheng Xiaofeng, who was very satisfied with the status of his apprentices. The two of them talked on the phone for an hour in the early hours of this morning to discuss the situation of the game. For the final on August 3, Zheng Xiaofeng is more confident, "She should have no problem entering the top five, if the state is particularly good, there is still the possibility of rushing into the top three." ”
Reaching the final was expected
On the evening of the 31st, after the results came out, the phone calls of Zheng Xiaofeng and Wang Chunyu were exploded. At two or three o'clock in the morning today, the two masters and apprentices talked. "This result is what I expected." Zheng Xiaofeng did not hide his confidence in his beloved disciple.
In the game on the night of the semi-finals, Wang Chunyu chose a very oppressive tactic, and soon after the start of the game, he occupied the leading position and won the initiative for himself. With superb technology and super physical fitness, Wang Chunyu accelerated in the last 150 meters and finally successfully advanced with a personal best of 1 minute 59.14 seconds.
"The final will definitely not use this way of playing, follow the front, fight in the back, and use her speed advantage to compete for the ranking." Zheng Xiaofeng told reporters that in the first two rounds of preliminary rounds and semi-finals, Wang Chunyu's state was retained: the first shot entered the top three, the second shot entered the top two, and the best state was left for the third shot.
The reporter learned that among the 8 players who advanced to the final, Wang Chunyu ranked fifth, and for the final, she said in an interview: "Even if I can't run, I can't walk down to the eighth, but I don't think I can be the eighth in the final, and I want to fight for a better place in the final!" ”
Zheng Xiaofeng analyzed that according to the level and ability of the final athletes, there should be no problem for Wang Chunyu to enter the top five in the final, "If she is in particularly good shape, there is still the possibility of rushing into the top three." Zheng Xiaofeng believes that there are many accidents in competitive sports, and it will depend on the state of athletes.
A good mindset is in the "golden stage"
In the communication that night, Zheng Xiaofeng felt that Wang Chunyu's state was good, and his psychological quality was also very good, and he belonged to the "competition type player".
It also reminded him of july 10, 2011, when he took Wang Chunyu abroad for the first time to participate in the World Junior Athletics Championships in Lille, France, when she finished second in the women's 800m with a time of 2:03.23. There were 42 participants in that game, and Wang Chunyu ranked 39th among them, and the results were not too good. "She finished second and afterwards she told me she might still be fighting for the title." Wang Chunyu's self-confidence also made Zheng Xiaofeng feel that this child is a good seedling, and the pressure of the game can become her motivation and ignite her "excitement".
After entering the final this time, when asked how to accomplish this goal, Wang Chunyu mentioned his efforts. "Running 800 meters depends on how much you work and pay, not to enter the final casually, not to win the championship casually." Giving is important, and the results are enough to prove my dedication. ”
Wang Chunyu's father, Wang Donghai, once said in an interview that the biggest feature of his daughter is that she can endure hardships. Every morning at 6:30, Wang Chunyu did not wake up at home, got up to train on her own, and she completed the training amount every day as required, and went to bed at 9:30 p.m., which is also every day, very conscious. When it snows, the playground of the school next to it is snowy, Wang Chunyu wears ordinary sneakers to practice running, and when he comes back, his shoes are full of water.
In Zheng Xiaofeng's view, Wang Chunyu is currently experiencing his own "golden stage". And there are very few athletes who have not been injured at her level, which is also a very important advantage for her at present. Previously, she had only limped on her left foot once in 2011 and rested for a month. Although there was no running, the coach used other means to strengthen the training, "using skates to train her to punch her, and then give her weight, improve her level, and later the effect is not bad." ”
Respect the rules of training to keep fine
Over the years, Zheng Xiaofeng has also maintained a very calm and sober understanding of her growth, respecting the objective laws of athletes, "from children to adults to high-level athletes, each stage of training is particularly delicate." ”
Since 2010, Wang Chunyu has emerged in domestic and foreign competitions and gradually grown into the top athlete in the domestic women's 800 meters event. At the 7th National City Games in 2011, Wang Chunyu, who was only 16 years old, won the championship with a time of 2 minutes 01.34 seconds. This result surpassed the results of that year's Asian Championship champions, and was only 0.04 seconds away from the B-mark of the London Olympics.
At that time, it attracted the attention of the IAAF, which gave Wang Chunyu a high evaluation on its official website. The article used three "BEST" in a row to evaluate: this is the best result created by Chinese athletes in 5 and a half years, this is the best result created by Chinese young athletes in 14 years, and this is the best result ever created by Chinese 16-year-old athletes! He also praised her as "Wang Junxia's successor".
Zheng Xiaofeng said that at that time, she was still relatively young, she could not practice special projects, and she should go through 1 to 2 years or 2 to 3 years of basic training and improvement in order to let her practice special projects and step onto the stage of international competitions, only in this way can she help her achieve good results in the future.
Send a thank-you note in anticipation of a good result
The reporter learned from the Anhui Provincial Sports Bureau that after the semi-finals of the women's 800 meters, the Chinese Athletics Association also sent a letter of thanks to the Anhui Provincial Sports Bureau.
The letter said: Warm congratulations to Anhui athlete Wang Chunyu in the 32nd Tokyo Olympic Games athletics event women's 800 meters semifinals, with a time of 1 minute 59 seconds 14 seconds to reach the final, creating a history of Chinese athletics in the Olympic Games for the first time in the event finals.
