Chapter 44 Olympic Selection Qualifications
Director Liu, who had never said anything, suddenly knocked on the table.
"Yidun, I'll ask you something, tell me the truth." Director Liu spoke in a deep voice and asked Yidun directly.
The three members of the city's track and field team were even more heartbroken. Director Liu really knew Yi Dun.
"Director Liu, ask, I will never lie. This guy just now really slaps me!" Yi Dun said with a red face.
Director Liu waved his hand, "I'm not asking this. I can see clearly what happened on the track, so there is no need to say more."
"What I want to ask is, what is your personal limit of five thousand meters?"
This is the answer Director Liu wants to know the most.
Li Lei and the others reported to him before that Yi Dun had a 13 minutes and 47 seconds run at the faculty and staff sports meeting, and Director Liu didn't believe it very much.
But after the preliminaries, Director Liu believed it. He was about to wait for the 5,000-meter final to see if Yi Dun could run better.
But after being disturbed by the three people from this city's track and field team, Yi Dunshang could still achieve the best results.
After hearing about Director Liu's question, Yi Dun directly answered.
"The hand count is 13 minutes and 43 seconds, which is my current personal limit."
"I think I still have a lot of room for improvement. After the Provincial Games, I will be confident that I can run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds!"
Yi Dun's tone was extremely confident, which made everyone on the scene dumbfounded, including the three contestants from the city's track and field team.
My personal best score has reached 13 minutes and 43 seconds?! It has improved by twelve seconds over the national college student record?!
After the Provincial Games, this guy actually said that he could run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds? Isn’t that the level of an international athlete?
"Yidun, don't joke in front of the leader!" Li Lei said with a straight face.
Yi Dun shook his head, "Super Li, I'm not kidding. If you don't believe it, you can ask my coach. He shouldn't joke about such things."
Yi Dun had already seen Ma Shanyong stretching his head and lying on the stairs of the rostrum to watch, so he said this.
"This is indeed not fake. Yi Dun's 13 minutes and 43 seconds was calculated by me."
"I have been working in the track and field circle for more than ten years, and I can guarantee that the error will not exceed half a second." After Ma Shanyong was called up, he said to the leaders on the stage with some restraint.
His evidence is quite credible.
After all, he is just a teacher at the sports school, and the sports school is under the dual jurisdiction of the Education Bureau and the Sports Bureau. He has no reason to deceive his leaders in such matters.
If you cheat other things, you will also cheat, but the long-distance running results are real.
People can lie, but data cannot lie.
Director Liu couldn't sit still anymore. He remembered correctly in 13 minutes and 43 seconds. It took Yi Dun a few months to get in touch with the long-distance running news he had heard before.
In just a few months, can such a terrifying result be achieved? Director Liu is determined to win Yi Dun.
However, he was still a little curious. Why is Yi Dun's performance in 13 minutes and 30 seconds after the Provincial Games?
"Yidun, why are you sure that you can run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds after the Provincial Games? Do you know what this result represents?" Director Liu sat upright and asked Yidun seriously.
Yi Dun was stunned. He was not easy to answer this question.
You can't tell Director Liu that he has a coolie system...
"I have this confidence because I feel that I am improving every day, and there are still a few months before the Provincial Games. I think my grades will definitely improve significantly by then."
"As for the significance of this achievement, it means that I can meet the standards of international athletes." Yi Dun replied.
Unexpectedly, Director Liu shook his head.
"What kind of national or international athletes are actually just a title. For you athletes, it only allows you to get more allowances, and the rest does not make much sense."
"If you can run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds, the meaning is definitely not that international athletes meet the standards, but that you will have the possibility of being qualified for the Olympics." Director Liu shook his head and smiled mysteriously.
When everyone in the venue was stunned when they heard about the qualifications for the Olympics.
That is the Olympics, the highest-standard event on this planet!
Moreover, the next Olympic Games is extremely special because the venue is held in the capital Beijing!
Who wouldn't want to show off her face in front of more than one billion villagers at her doorstep?!
If you run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds, you will have the chance to be qualified to participate in the Beijing Olympics?!
Although it is just a selection qualification and is not 100% able to participate in the competition, this is amazing enough.
Yi Dun was also scared. He was the kind of self-knowledgeable person.
Although he is invincible now, Songyang is a small place the size of a palm, and there is nothing to be proud of.
This is like the truth that African Congo skiers are invincible in Congo...
Yi Dun felt that the Olympics were so far away from him, and he had never even thought about the Beijing Olympics.
"Director Liu, if I could run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds, would I be really qualified to participate in the Olympics?" Yi Dun asked in surprise.
Director Liu smiled and shook his head, "No, I can only say that you have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic qualification selection. You should all be very clear about the significance of this Olympic Games. There are many contestants participating in the selection, all of which are talented players from all over China. Whether you can break through it can only depend on your strength."
"Besides, the specific selection criteria have not yet been released. I can only tell you that if you run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds, you will have a slight chance to participate in the selection. If you can improve for another two or three seconds, the chance will be even greater."
It is now the end of 2006, and in more than a year and a half, the Beijing Olympics will begin.
The selection criteria for the long-distance running event have not yet come out and are currently being formulated. However, according to information obtained by Director Liu, the five-kilometer A-level contestants selected this time are around 13 minutes and 21 seconds, while the b-level contestants are around 13 minutes and 28 seconds.
So if Yi Dun can run into 13 minutes and 30 seconds, he will be really likely to participate in the Olympic selection.
If you can continue to improve your grades, then Yi Dun can join the Chinese Olympic team!
Long-distance running is a weak event in Dongshan Province. It has been almost ten years since Dongshan Province has been qualified for the Olympics, and no one has even obtained the qualification for the selection.
If Yi Dun is truly qualified for the Olympic selection as he said, it will definitely be a blessing for Dongshan Province hang event.
Even if you just get the qualification to select an Olympic Games...
Deputy Director Li, who was standing beside him, looked at Yi Dun with his eyes wide open.
After learning that Yi Dun's personal best score was 13 minutes and 43 seconds, the first idea he had was to recruit Yi Dun into the city track and field team...
Although Yi Dun won the college championship before, his results were not particularly dazzling at that time, and the Municipal Sports Bureau did not take it seriously. In their opinion, it would be better for Yi Dun to join the city track and field team sooner or later, so that he would not have to pay him a salary and allowance, which would save trouble and money.
Therefore, the recruitment of Yi Dun into the city's track and field team has been delayed.
Now that he learned about Yi Dun's terrifying forces, Deputy Director Li naturally had the idea of robbing Yi Dun with the city track and field team.
But then he realized that his thought was a bit ridiculous.
Judging from the current situation, Director Liu from the province made a special trip for Yi Dun...
