Chapter 151 First Arrival in Doha

"How many of Lu Wei's men ran away?"

Zou Zhen held up a stopwatch and asked Jiang Jianjun. Actually, he had also used the stopwatch to record his score, but he just wanted to ask Jiang Jianjun to combine the two scores to avoid errors.

"At 6.55 seconds, everyone was too close to the finish line at 60 meters, so I could only use the first place time. I could also use the time for the others, but Lu Wei and Shen Liang should be in the top two, that should be no problem."

As Jiang Jianjun spoke, he took out a small notebook, wrote something in it, and then put the notebook back in his pocket.

"Catch your breaths and come over here to announce the results!"

Seeing that there was no dispute about the results, Zou Zhen gathered the five team members together. He gave Lu Wei a stopwatch, and the stopwatch time was 6.52 seconds. The timing error between the two was very small.

"Based on the results, Lu Wei and Shen Liang qualified for the 60-meter race. Overall, Lu Wei's performance was quite good. He has improved a lot since he first entered the training base. In the world of sprinting, even the slightest improvement is inseparable from the progress made in the past. Everyone should learn from Lu Wei's spirit of hard training."

After saying this, Zou Zhen glanced at everyone and, seeing that they were all listening intently, continued with satisfaction: "While training requires hard work, it's important to know your limits. Don't push yourself too hard, or missing the Olympics will definitely be the biggest regret of your life. Qualifying for the Olympics isn't easy, so I hope everyone can work together this year and have the opportunity to experience what it's like to have the Olympics held on home soil!"

Finally, as if remembering something, he added, "I also want to commend Wen Ningyi for today's match. He's been training very hard lately; I noticed he was the first one there this morning, besides Lu Wei. His hard work has finally paid off in the match. Competitive sports are all about continuous improvement; the capable rise, the mediocre fall. Everyone else needs to work harder too. If you don't strive, your positions might be changed. Okay, that's all for now!"

After Zou Zhen finished speaking, he didn't give anyone a chance to continue. At this moment, Wen Ningyi spoke up again: "Coach, are there no other events besides the 60 meters? Are there any spots for the 200 meters? The 400 meters is fine too!"

Wen Ningyi's words made Zou Zhen's eyes widen in surprise: "One lap on the indoor track is 200 meters. Your preparation finish line this year is 4x100 meters. This is not very useful for you. As for the 400 meters, only a madman would run the 400 meters on an indoor track. After two laps, you would probably be dizzy before you even finish, haha!"

Zou Zhen was quite happy. Wen Ningyi had been here for so many days, and he felt that he had truly gotten to know him since yesterday. Now, no matter how he looked at the player, he thought he was quite good. He trained diligently and was ambitious. Everyone would want to give such a player more opportunities.

"I can do the 200 meters. I'm willing to try any competition as long as there's a chance!"

After saying this, Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Huo both looked a little uneasy. Perhaps it was because they had lost to each other in the competition, or perhaps it was because of each other's desire to compete, or perhaps it was a combination of both that made them feel a little threatened.

Hu and Huo won the 100-meter championship at the World University Games when they were young, and Zhang Yuanteng is now a national champion. These two people don't even care about such a small competition.

Moreover, the Olympic Games mainly involve outdoor training, and these two individuals are not very interested in training for the 60-meter event individually.

"Alright, I'll talk to Coach Yu and add you to the 200-meter race. The three of you will compete together. Okay, that's all for today, let's continue training!"

After Zou Zhen finished speaking, Wen Ningyi looked excited. This was probably his first time representing the national team in an international competition, so he couldn't contain his excitement.

This hardworking young man finally got a chance to participate in an international competition.

On the night of February 10, Coach Jiang and Wang Qiao led three other team members out of the Doha Airport terminal.

The plane took off at 10:00 AM Beijing time and arrived after 11:00 PM local time. Beijing time is 5 hours ahead of Doha time, so everyone sat on the plane for nearly 18 hours.

After a long flight, everyone felt like they had been saved.

"Give me back my butt! Lu Wei, check if my butt is still there!"

As soon as Shen Liang finished speaking, Lu Wei immediately shoved his knee into his buttocks.

This time, Shen Liang was in so much pain that he jumped up and down on the ground: "You bastard, I asked if you were there, I didn't ask you to hit me!"

This scene made everyone laugh.

"Xiao Wen, hurry up, it's a bit stuffy outside, let's wait inside the terminal."

Wen Ningyi, a member of the team from a county town, had never been on a plane before joining the national team. This was also his first time traveling abroad, so he was full of curiosity about everything at the airport.

After an hour's wait, the shuttle bus finally arrived. During this time, Lu Wei, Shen Liang, and Wen Ningyi didn't sit idle. They went to a restaurant on the second floor of the airport. Since they hadn't eaten there much before, Lu Wei looked at the brochure and ordered a lamb roll, a dessert, a bottle of mineral water, and a cup of coffee, using the English words.

Shen Liang and Wen Ningyi couldn't read English, let alone Arabic. They didn't know what to order, so they copied what Lu Wei had ordered.

When it came time to pay the bill, everyone realized that the restaurant in the airport was quite a rip-off. The food they ordered cost 200 calories per person, which is more than 400 yuan.

Shen Liang and Wen Ningyi both came from ordinary families, and when they saw how expensive it was, they both looked extremely regretful.

While they were hesitating, Lu Wei paid for both of them.

"Brother Lu, I'll give you the money later. The restaurants here are too expensive. I'll never eat at the airport restaurants again!"

Wen Ningyi spoke as he walked.

"No need, it's on me!"

Lu Wei's tone was very certain, and the other two didn't say much to him. Over time, everyone had come to understand Lu Wei's personality; he never hesitated to do things he didn't want to do, but once he did something, it was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

"It feels so good to have the chance to rob a rich guy! I'll never order food at the airport restaurant again without Lu Wei by now! Haha!"

After a few seconds, Shen Liang found a way to start the conversation again; he always managed to be the first to find a topic when everyone was silent.

After boarding the bus, everyone seemed to regain their energy. The journey from the airport to the hotel was less than ten kilometers, and it felt like the driver arrived in just a few minutes.

Traffic in Qatar is not congested, and passing vehicles drive very fast. Consulate staff told us that the speed limit on the roads here is 50-120 kilometers per hour, and there will be hefty fines if violations occur.
