Chapter 121: Enrollment Booms for Training Course & 110m Hurdles Preliminaries and Results

《Doha Athletics Asian Championships Day Two - Tonight, the Crown of Glory Belongs to China》

The second day, this report was directly featured on the front page of the Sports Daily. Even for Chinese athletics, which had been achieving remarkable results over the past year, the performance of this evening was truly uplifting. Not only the Sports Daily but also other domestic news publications reprinted related news. On the morning news programs of April 17th, the anchors reported the good news brought by the Chinese national athletics team with cheerful expressions.

On this day, coaches and staff members who had stayed behind at the national athletics training base instead of traveling to Doha with the team all congratulated Su Bai with smiles.

Indeed, the news from the previous night placed significant emphasis on the 400m sprint event, and not only that, but also the state that Fang Yu was currently in, effortlessly running under 10 seconds, had much to do with Su Bai.

"Coach Su, we're all looking forward to your training!" said a coach who had a good relationship with Su Bai, knowing that Su Bai was currently preparing for his series of lecture courses.

Of course, as coaching staff members of the national team, it was easy for them to secure a spot in Su Bai's lectures. The discussion on this topic was essentially just a friendly chat with Su Bai.

In contrast, coaches from various provincial teams outside the national team were eager to secure spots for learning and exchange since the number of seats was limited. The reason for this eagerness was Su Bai's lecture theme, which was not limited to the 400m sprint but covered broader topics related to coaching in athletics.

Su Bai's lecture was titled 《Exploring Coaching Perspectives in Athletics》, and it included sections on "Effective Scientific Improvement of Technique," "Analytical Approach to Athlete Technique," "Managing Pre-Competition Training Load for Athletes," and more. Naturally, it also included some of the research results that could be publicly disclosed from his recent collaboration with Ma Changping's research group, focusing on "More Effective Training Planning Based on Athlete's Individual Qualities."

This series of courses would span about a week, and the schedule was planned such that Su Bai would conduct the lectures in the morning, while in the afternoon, coaches and trainees from various provincial teams would engage in discussions, summarizing their thoughts, and providing feedback and questions for Su Bai's lectures.

When the course topics were distributed to the various provincial teams, each team initially assumed that only coaches from the 400m sprint would attend. However, as soon as the team leaders hinted at this, coaches from other disciplines such as 100m sprint, 110m hurdles, and even high jump protested.

Su Bai was indeed the head coach for the 400m event, but hadn't he also elevated Fang Yu's performance to new heights? Moreover, didn't he personally bring athletes like Qiu Wen and Cui Luoheng from the S Province Athletics Team to the national team? It wasn't just Qiu Wen; Cui Luoheng was Su Bai's dedicated protégé, right?

And when we mention Qiu Wen and Cui Luoheng, how could we forget Wang Shen? Wang Shen achieved a personal best under Su Bai's guidance. Wasn't that something he thanked Su Bai for?

So, with this in mind, it became clear that the national team wouldn't have enough spots to accommodate coaches from all the provincial teams for training and exchange.
