Don't look at the Lion City is not a big country, but there is a sports city with a large scale, which is also the first comprehensive sports, leisure, entertainment and life activity venue in Asia, this kind of ecological development model is respected by many countries as the future of sports development, but also the future node of the urban complex, and it is more exaggerated to call it a paradise for sports people.

The main sports facilities of the Sports City include a 55,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof and comfortable cooling equipment, a 3,000-seat (expanded to 6,000-seat aquatics center), a 3,000-seat indoor court, a 12,000-seat indoor sports hall, a water sports center, an indoor multi-purpose arena, and a range of diverse sports community facilities.

In addition, there are libraries, museums, shopping malls, indoor spas, food courts, and more.

The Asian venue for the judo event of the Kyoto Olympic Continental Qualifying Tournament is located in the multi-purpose arena of this sports city.

After Meng Fan landed with the team, he stayed directly in the athlete center, and it was impossible to enjoy any airport VIP service in a stupid and high-profile manner, and it was even more impossible for the airport to give Meng Fan any treatment in a big and open manner.

The qualifying tournament began on the 14th, and on the 13th, the athletes began to weigh and test and draw number plates one after another, the process is similar to the usual judo competition, the difference is that the probability of this individual qualifying tournament wanting to meet the master is very low, and the reason why it is very low is because there are well-known players who are not allowed to miss the points competition for some reason, resulting in points that cannot enter the top 16, and the qualifying tournament is regarded as the last fight.

Of course, for Meng Fan, it is almost the same whether there is a master who has escaped the net, as long as there are no irresistible accidents, it is no problem.

According to the regulations, there are only four qualifying places for each level of judo to pass the continental qualifying tournament, that is, the champion, second and third place.

Meng Fan's biggest competition is scheduled for the last one, which starts at 3 pm on the 16th, with a total of 32 players competing for four qualifications.

"Meng Caipeng!"

Meng Fan, who was warming up on the sidelines, heard a shout, and he didn't have to guess to know that no one here called him that except Meng Caitang.

Meng Fan followed the voice and looked over and found Meng Caitang in a group of people, who should all be Chinese students, and also saw two acquaintances, one was Lin Xiaoxiao, who came to pick him up for Meng Caitang last time, and the other was Wu Yuandi, who saved people in Siam with Wu Ji last time.

Is it just because they are all Chinese students who came together, or is this guy really chasing Meng Caitang?

Last time in Siam, Meng Fan knew that this guy liked Meng Caitang, but it looked like a secret crush, and at that time he tested whether he approved of him chasing Meng Caitang, and I don't know if he has started to pursue it now.

Meng Fan made a phone call gesture to Meng Caitang, then continued to warm up, returned to the rest area after the warm-up, and waited for the start of the game.

It is divided into group AB like the previous judo competition, Meng Fan is in group A, the first, second, and third games, all of which are all winners, after all, there is no top 16 players in the world at his level, and there are no strong players who have missed the net, and the flat push is very smooth.

In the fourth game, which was the last game of Group A, Xiao Yunlin on the sidelines of the game was a little nervous, knowing that Meng Fan had a very big chance of winning, but he still held his breath, until Meng Fan won again in one face, Xiao Yunlin breathed a sigh of relief, and the qualification was already in hand.

Meng Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, although he was confident that he could win, but after all, it was a game with only one chance, and if he lost the last game of the group, there was still a repechage match to play, but it felt different.

Next, Meng Fan has the last final to play, even if he loses, he will have a runner-up, and the runner-up will naturally be qualified.

Of course, it is difficult for Meng Fan to lose, unless there is some force majeure accident, he really stands and makes the opponent unable to fight.

And Meng Fan definitely doesn't want to lose, winning the championship represents 3 championship honor points, how can he not get along with this.

In addition, maintaining a winning streak is also a record.

Meng Fan's final also represents the end of the individual judo intercontinental qualifying tournament, and the next day is to enter the mixed team qualifying tournament one day apart, some athletes will return to China first, and Meng Fan wants to stay.

"And the game?"

"Well, there's a team competition to play. “

After the game, Meng Fan met Meng Caitang and also met this team of international students.

The international students were very enthusiastic and asked for group photos and autographs.

Wu Yuandi saw that Meng Fan wanted to greet him specifically, so he shook his head slightly at Meng Fan, and Meng Fan didn't say anything.

It is said that it was their business whether Wu Yuandi chased Meng Caitang or not, and Meng Fan could not pretend not to know him because of this, but if he asked for this, Meng Fan could only be regarded as not knowing.

The first time Meng Fan came here, he was taken by Meng Caitang to walk around the national university as a boyfriend, and now, everyone naturally knows that the two are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and they also know that the two are brother and sister, after all, Meng Fan has a sister named Meng Caiwei, everyone knows, so Meng Caitang is obviously also a sister or sister.

Several international students present like Meng Caitang, but even if they know that Meng Caiwei doesn't have a boyfriend, there are still very few who dare to pursue it head-on, not because they are afraid of Meng Fan, the future uncle, but because Meng Caitang himself is too "cruel", and a sentence of "I can't read a book well and fall in love" can make these scholars die down.

After the international students asked for a group photo and autograph, they obediently walked away under Meng Caitang's eyes, and Meng Caitang and Meng Fan chatted a few words.

"If you don't play tomorrow, can you go out and play? I didn't take you to play well last time. ”

"I guess I can't get out. ”

"How many days are you competing as a team?"

"It should be a day. ”

The day after tomorrow, that is, the night after your competition, there happens to be a concert at the indoor stadium, I have a ticket, do you want to go to see it?"

"I seem to have seen the poster, it's Shi 15's concert, right?"

"Hmm. “

"Let's see what happens. ”

"Okay, I'll keep the ticket first. Oh yes, the second sister said that she had already bought tickets for the three Olympic lifting and wrestling events, as well as the opening ceremony, and our family will form a group to watch you compete in the summer vacation. Is there one weightlifting left that hasn't been qualified?"

"The qualifying round for weightlifting is at the end of the month. It's enough, don't they all say that tickets for the opening ceremony can't be bought?"

"Who knows. Good news for you, I'm going to America in a week. ”

"Why are you going?"

"Participating in a program is a top research project in my field. ”

"Are you really going to run for scientists?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm already a scientist, okay?"

"I don't really understand the world of your scholars. ”

"I'm sorry, but I just know the world of you athletes. ”

"I can't talk about it this day. ”

"If you can't talk, don't talk and go. “

“......”

Meng Caitang really said that he would leave, and Meng Fan rolled his eyes and returned to the team. Some of the team members went back to China directly that night, especially those who got the qualification but did not participate in the team competition, and they needed to have special training before the game after returning.

So far, Huaxia Judo has performed well, winning a total of 12 qualifications, with the women fully occupied, and the men's two divisions short of qualifying.

The next day is off, and the only task is to weigh and draw numbers for the group.

In a blink of an eye on the 18th, the mixed team competition began at 8 o'clock in the morning, with 16 teams participating, not all Asian countries are eligible, this kind of team competition still requires a certain score as a premise, of course, some countries can not make up a mixed team of 12 people.

The 16 teams are also divided into two groups, and the first opponent of the Chinese team is Uzbekistan. In the 18 Olympic Games, Uzbekistan and China are the bronze medals in judo, in terms of strength, Chinese women's softer is stronger than Uzbekistan, men's softer is slightly weaker, and it is really difficult to say whether you win or lose.

At present, except for Neon not participating, the most likely to win the top three is actually the top four, which is Huaxia, South Korea, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Of course, the premise is that none of these four teams meet in the first round, and the team competition is a single-elimination system, with no repechage.

It's like in the 18th Asian Games, South Korea encountered neon in the quarterfinals, and directly stopped in the quarterfinals without even getting a card. And then there is the tradition of South Korean players sitting in the arena for 10 minutes in protest.

bumped into Uzbekistan in the first round, and the Huaxia team had no point to win, so Meng Fan must be on it.

There are six competitions in the mixed team competition, namely men's 73kg, men's 90kg, men's over 90kg (including 100kg and over 100kg), women's 57kg, women's 70kg and women's over 70kg (including 78kg and over 78kg).

Win four games to get the full victory, if 3 to 3 draw, then to calculate the number of one, more wins, one of the same is calculated skills, and so on.

At the beginning of the game, the Huaxia team was unfavorable in the first game, Cheng Xunzhao withstood the pressure in the second game and won one game, the first two games were tied 1-1, and Meng Fan represented the above 90 kg class in the third game.

In order to create a better scoring advantage for the national team, in the form of a complete crushing game, Meng Fan did not come up and won directly, but patiently played an effect, an effective one, and a skill, and then won with one.

In the event of a tie, it can provide some advantage points.

After starting with the men's three games 2:1, the women's side already had an advantage, and their morale increased greatly, with 57 kg and 70 kg winning the first round with a score of 4:2.

Then in the second round, the Indian team was played, and without Meng Fan playing, it easily advanced to the semifinals with a score of 4:1 and secured the Olympic qualification.

In the semi-finals, they met South Korea.
