There is a big gap between the overall level of fighting in China and the five major fighting kingdoms, the United States, Russia, and Honi, but there is a lot of room for development, potential, and a large market.

Judging from recent years, the fundamentals have improved, and there are definitely many problems, but the outlook is optimistic.

Some fields such as the small level have caught up with the international high level, and a number of very good athletes have emerged, such as Xiong Chaozhong and Zou Shiming in small-level boxing, Cai Zongju, who is the highest ranked in the world boxing in Huaxia, Qiu Jianliang in free fighting, and Zhang Weili, who won the first UFC gold belt before. There are many more fighters who have also stepped out of the country and onto the world stage.

In terms of market expansion and commercialization, the overall situation is improving, and high-level events are slowly increasing, setting off a lot of fighting craze in China, but so far there is no sign of world-class competitions. In addition, there are bad competitions in these events, and things such as consumer enthusiasm, deception of spectators, and overdraft of integrity often occur, which greatly undermines the development of Chinese martial arts.

There are also some parallel goods and scammers who swagger through the market, and most ordinary people can only see these jumping people, which greatly causes ordinary people to have a bad impression of fighting and fighting.

Another important point is the mass base. On the one hand, more and more people are approaching the gym and paying attention to combat fighting, and the number of fight clubs in first-tier cities is increasing year by year, and the second and third tiers are also following up quickly. On the bad side, of course, the national foundation is far from enough, and all aspects such as physical education and event selection are lagging behind.

Most of the money Meng Fan took out this time was used for infrastructure construction and basic education. Especially in the latter part, although he doesn't have much contact with people in the martial arts world, there are always people, and most of the people he contacts are willing to tell him the truth, so he has an understanding of the current situation of fighters and martial arts-related practitioners, and there are really many people who can't eat well. From the perspective of solving the root causes, in addition to competitions, it is to increase the salary level of combat arts education.

As for the venues and events, this piece is not worried about money, especially after Meng Fan's second-place wrestling scene, coupled with this UFC trip, the existing market in China has been greatly activated, and there are not a few people who are willing to spend money to open venues and hold competitions.

What Meng Fan has to do is to pull in some bigwigs and supervise these bigwigs to clean up the pool, these were made clear when Meng Fan set up the foundation, some people may not care or treat Meng Fan as a fat man who doesn't understand the market, but some people have contacted Meng Fan and know his character, and when the time comes, if you really want to find out, it is ugly to point at your nose and scold or even openly point at your nose and scold.

Of course, these things must be very difficult, Meng Fan also thought about saying that he can get better, but there are some things that should be done or have to be done, and even to a large extent, he will have to do it, not to mention how heavy his sense of responsibility is for Huaxia Fighting Fighting, but when the strength realm reaches this ideological realm, how will it rise with it.

At present, it seems that fortunately, there are people who will support him and are willing to support him, and some people only support him for fame and not profit.

Going back and forth to do this for several days, Meng Fan didn't go back to Hangzhou, he had a few video conferences on the animation park and the film and television company, and he didn't have anything to do, he stayed in the imperial capital with peace of mind, except for training, most of the time he stayed with Wu Tong, sometimes he stayed at home, sometimes he went to the Forbidden City with her, she repaired ancient paintings, and he teased cats.

Fast forward to May, and Meng Fan is about to start a new competition, which is the IAAF Diamond League, which he has not participated in before, and it is also his first world-class event in shot put and javelin.

The Diamond League is a global track and field series launched by the IAAF for 10 years, which is an upgrade from the original Golden League, expanding the program and doubling the number of event stations, with a total of 14 stops, almost four months before and after, and this year it starts on May 10 and ends on September 6.

According to the regulations, the athletes participating in this series must be the top 20 of the year in each event, and Meng Fan has previously participated in the Asian Athletics Grand Prix and qualified for it.

There are a total of 14 events in the series, but players do not need to participate in the full 14 events, there is no mandatory requirement. In the same way, not all events are available at each station, each event will only appear seven times in 14 stations, and players need to go to each station according to the event, and the events will be rotated every year. For example, the only station in China, Shanghai Station, will choose eight events for men and women, of which the men's 110-meter hurdles will be the permanent reserved event for Shanghai Station.

Each stop of the Diamond League has a bonus, and the prize money for each station is 416,000 US dollars, which is divided equally among the 16 events of the station. In addition, points will be awarded for each stop, and the top eight can get points, and the accumulated points will get the opportunity to participate in the finals. The winner of the final received a diamond trophy and a 4-carat diamond ring, and won the world first place in the individual event.

Javelin and shot put, Meng Fan has signed up, if he wants to achieve a good ranking in points, he needs to participate in more sub-stations, these two events will not be arranged in the same sub-station, sometimes this station only javelin and that station only have shot put.

The opening match of the Diamond League on the 10th was the first stop in Doha, Qatar, and as last year, no player from China participated.

There are several reasons, one is that the total number of athletes participating in the Diamond League in China is not much, the second is that the overall strength is not strong, and the third is that the second stop is the Huaxia Shanghai Station.

Meng Fan didn't have any concerns about preparation, but unfortunately there was no javelin and shot put in Doha.

The Shanghai station is the 18th game, and at 1 pm on the 17th, there is a press conference at the Shanghai station of the Diamond League.

In addition, there are sprint twins Su Shen and Xie Shen, as well as women's shot put player Gong Huang.

In terms of achievements alone, the title of Gonghuang is well deserved, and now the stable gold point of the Chinese track and field team is at the top level in the world, and there are also very good results in the Diamond League, and the year before last won the championship in the finals, and the Olympic World Championships and other events have also repeatedly won gold and silver.

These four athletes represented Huaxia to attend the Shanghai Station press conference, which can truly be said to represent the speed and strength of the Chinese track and field team.

In terms of speed, the sprint twins have played very well in recent years, Su Shen is stable performance, Xie Shensheng still has the potential to tap and break through when he is young, and the twins have maintained a very high level of competition under the pursuit of each other.

In terms of strength, Gonghuang is still at his peak, as long as he plays steadily, he can basically be delisted in various events, and Meng Fan's words are a breaking point for the Chinese track and field team, and it has also attracted the attention of the global track and field community.

"Su Shen!"

"Thank God!"

"Emperor Gong!"

Meng Fan greeted the three athletes warmly, and then sat down next to Gong Huang, muttering and chatting waiting for the start of the press conference.

He knows all three of them, and relatively speaking, the most familiar one must be Gong Huang of a project, who has often encountered it when training recently, from technical movements to competitive psychology and experience, Meng Fan has really learned a lot from her.

The press conference began with speeches by the leaders of the organizers and organizers, introducing some relevant matters of the event, and then ended with interviews with reporters.

Finally, the athlete representatives spoke, mainly interviewed and talked about the story between themselves and the Diamond League, the other three have all participated in the Diamond League and at least won the championship, there are many stories and details to share, Meng Fan's turn can be said to be nothing.

The primary school student sat well: "Hello everyone, I am Meng Fan, a rookie athlete of the Chinese track and field team, this is my first time participating in the Diamond League, and it is also the first time to participate in a world-class event, mainly with the mentality of learning." Before coming to the front of the Ye director told me, when you come to such a field, don't always think about comparing with other players horizontally, you should compare with yourself vertically, don't care about other people's results, work hard to improve your own performance, and strive to be a better version of yourself. I think Director Ye is right, it's enough to be a better version of yourself, and it doesn't matter if you are ranked or not. Thank you, that's the end of my statement. ”

Continue to sit in a well-behaved schoolboy posture with a smile on your face.

A group of reporters hehe, iron god modesty.

Is it enough to improve yourself?

That's not a big deal!

The best results in shot put and javelin throw this year are in your hands!
