"The first one should be Mike Powell (American remote athlete), and the second should be Wili Banks (American third -level remote athletes). Powell jumped out of the world record of 8 meters and 95. 18 meters 20, the first person in history to cross 18 meters under superwrite speed. "Randy said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago.

Wang Jianan: The second Powell

Powell's world record at the 1991 World Championships has not broken. Wang Jianan won the World Championship men's long -term championship on the track and field of Randy's alma mater, and reminded Randy's moment after Bowell's time after the victory of the Tokyo National Arena.

"Interestingly, after Jia Nan came out of the sand pit, he copied Mike's 1991 action: open his arms and run on the 100 -meter runway."

Mike Powell broke the World Record of 23 years from 8.95 meters in the 1991 Tokyo World Track and Field Championships (released on July 3, 1992)

However, Randy said that Su Bingtian's achievements in the Olympic Games last year were actually difficult to distinguish from Wang Jianan's championship.

"Su Bingtian's 9 seconds 83 is very close to Wang Jia's gold medal. On the results, Su Bingtian is better, but we must also understand that the most important thing for participating in the World Championships and Olympic Games is to win."

Of course, Randy believes that Wang Jianan has another important significance, that is, he has become the first man in history to win the Youth World Championships and the World Championship champion.

"No one has done this before."

Both champions were completed at the same stadium and were separated by 8 years. It is also this familiar feeling that injecting special confidence into Wang Jianan. After winning the championship, Wang Jianan told reporters: "Before the game, Randy told me that this is his home and my home."

"I really told him, I told him:‘ No one can beat you at our home. ’"

The reporter asked him: "Wang Jianan won the championship, do you feel surprised?" Randy said, "Accident? No, I think if the World Championships was held as scheduled last year, his results should be between 8 meters 40 and 8 meters. After the preliminaries, I told him that you can win the championship. I know he is the most hopeful to win the gold medal in the Chinese men's team. "

Su Bingtian can run into 9 seconds 80

Under the years of Randy's many years, Su Bingtian finally reached another peak of his career at the Tokyo Olympics, but now Randy is no longer a full -time coach of the Chinese team, and he no longer coach Su Bingtian.

"I once told him that if he needs help, I will accept consultation at any time." He also said that although Su Bingtian was almost 33 years old, he could still run better results.

"He has not participated in the competition this year, and there is no warm -up before the World Championships. This is absolutely not good. But I still believe that he can run into 9 seconds 80."

He said that Su Bingtian's training task this year was to expand the stride, because he was already the world's highest step -by -step sprint player, and the training of improving the rod was originally hoped for two years. If everything went smoothly, he should reach the goal next year. As for Su Bingtian's weakness in the second half of strength than top European and American players, Randy said: "We know the crux of the problem, but we just solve some problems. If the problem can be solved, he can even run into 9 seconds 75."

Chinese track and field need to strengthen coaching training

Randy said that China does not lack good sprint seedlings, but many good seedlings have not received the correct training method.

"Many young players train when they are young and how to train when they grow up. , I can no longer improve the results. Because you can let athletes run to 10 seconds 40, or even 10 seconds 30, but you want him to run to 10 seconds, 10 seconds 00, you can not use the way of training your child Training adults. "

He said that this problem is generally existed in Chinese sprint and jump projects. The solution is to allow coaches to generally get good education. He said: "Lack of education and lack of wisdom is two different things. The coaches are smart people. They just do not get the correct information, or deliberately ignore the correct information."

He said that the correct information is science.

"I often tell some coaches, don't argue scientific issues with me. I now tell you that scientists all over the world have recognized. You only need to do it according to it. If you don't have training psychology and biochemistry, scientific knowledge of scientific knowledge You can't create a brand new training system, which is basic common sense. "He said that education is not encouraging Chinese coaches to study in the United States, because many knowledge is placed there, and all of them are Chinese. Study carefully.

"I think the Chinese field association should allow all coaches to participate in the training. If you do not pass the classroom training, you will not issue a certificate. This is my major. I am serious. I hope all the coaches must be professional."

Where is the next Su Bingtian?

Randy does not seem optimistic about the future of Chinese sprints. He said that after Su Bingtian and Wang Jianan retired, they became coaches, so that China can create a scatter talent in batches.

"My days in China are over." He said, "I am 68 years old, and I will retire soon. I have an old mother who needs to take care. I have lived in China for 9 years. Now I need to do my responsibility in the United States. "

However, he said that he will continue to be a coach for Chinese athletes in the future. His most important goal is to help women 800 meters athlete Wang Chunyu prepare for the Paris Olympic Games.

"She is facing very rare opportunities now. I hope she can adjust to the state of the competition. If she has the same mentality as Su Bingtian, she will win the championship."

Randy has never got married and has no children. He said he gave up all this for track and field. When asking him where the track and field movement attracted him, he said, "Helping a person to realize his dream is a dependent drug. I helped Jia Nan realize the dream of the world champion. Gold medal. Everyone's dream is different. I think I can help them realize their dreams that they dare not think. "

But he also has a dream that has not been realized so far. During his more than 40 years of coaching career, his disciples did not produce even an Olympic champion. Powell won the silver medal at the two Olympic Games. At the Seoul and Barcelona Olympics, he lost to Karl Lewis. (Reporter Wang Zijiang)
