The 16 events of the IAAF Diamond League Shanghai Station are men's 100m, 200m, 400m, 5000m, 110m hurdles, high jump, javelin, shot put and women's 100m, 400m, 1500m and 3000m obstacle run, pole vault, shot put and javelin.

According to the requirements of the event, a sub-station of the race needs to complete all the events in one day, from the previous event process, basically 2-3 hours, this year the time is from 7 o'clock in the evening.

From five o'clock, there are already spectators entering one after another.

The tickets for this Shanghai station competition did not sell much after the tickets were opened, and there was a downward trend compared with last year, but then it was suddenly emptied in an instant, and the reason was simply because the official announced that Meng Fan appeared among the contestants, and it was difficult to find a ticket in the end.

At around six o'clock, the athletes entered to warm up, and then they were a little dumbfounded, and it was okay to have reinforcements on the track and field competition!

This kind of large-scale support, they have seen it at concerts, they have seen similar scenes on the football field, and this kind of scene on the track and field is not that there is no such scene, it is too rare.

Oh yes, it seems that this kind of picture is also common in the scene of the wrestling competition in the past two years, so everyone is much more optimistic, after all, there are other wrestling athletes who have suffered this kind of crit before them.

For Meng Fan, a newcomer who suddenly entered the field of track and field, the vast majority of people are of course welcome to this, Meng Fan's performance in the triathlons of lifting and wrestling is definitely going down in history, although he has not yet retired, there is no problem in directly giving the title of a legendary athlete, for such athletes, the vast majority of athletes are of course respectful, regardless of whether there are people who don't like the character of wandering around.

Moreover, non-javelin shot put players have no conflict of interest, and there is no annoying or exclusionary thing. If it is a javelin shot put athlete, then there is nothing to say, Meng Fan's previous results in the Asian Athletics Grand Prix made them sour, I know too well what Meng Fan's results represent, this year's best results are not because others have not compared or not compared with good results, but really can't compare!

Of course, it is not absolute, there must still be a small number of people who are dissatisfied with Meng Fan's appearance on the track and field, such as the most united South Korean athletes, no matter what event, what level, or occasion, Meng Fan will always have the same hatred.

As for the athletes in the United States that Meng Fan just walked around, it may be for various reasons, on the contrary, they may be more enthusiastic about Meng Fan than athletes from other countries, and they basically ridiculed the UFC about Meng Fan's KO monster, and they think it's quite coke. Of course, there are definitely no people who dislike Meng Fan, but there must be many people who admire and like Meng Fan, in their opinion, Meng Fan is arrogant and arrogant, and no one can kill him, they like this kind of character, and they feel familiar and kind.

"Meng! welcome to the shot put family!"

"Oh my God, I've finally met you! I love your games so much, I watch every one of your games!"

"I'm so excited, I'm so happy! Can you give me a hug!"

At the time of check-in, Meng Fan met a group of very enthusiastic athletes, and to his surprise, these were all shot put players, opponents who were about to compete with him.

The vibe is a bit too good, right?

Is it really easier for big hunks to collide with passion?

Meng Fan can be said to have played shot put behind closed doors, basically he has no contact with the international shot put community, and there is no communication during the Asian Skyrim Grand Prix, let alone outside Asia.

Of course, he had heard a few things about the world shot put – most of them from Emperor Gong – and the most famous was the "troika" of the shot put, namely the three famous shot put, Cruuse and Kovacs of the United States and Wallace of New Zealand.

These three are the leaders of the shot put event today, and the world-class championship is basically produced from these three people. The competition between the three of them is fierce, but there is also a very healthy competition that is friendly and often trains together. If there is a newcomer or a player who has exploded his results, they will also train or communicate together.

The reason why there is such an atmosphere is mainly because there is a big mountain pressing on their heads, and their dream is to make progress together before the peak of competition retreats, and work together to lift this mountain.

This mountain is none other than the world record in the men's shot put, which has been in the dust for 31 years now, and this record is "older" than all of them.

Over the years, they have basically won the honors and championships that these leaders should have won one by one, and now they think that they will break the record in this generation.

But then again, this record is really hard to break.

Generally speaking, those who launch 21 meters in the international arena can basically win rankings or cards, and those who exceed 22 meters can also win cards and even gold in the world's top events.

For the current troika, the number of times they cross 22.5 meters is not much. The latest Olympic record is 22.61 meters thrown by Ryan Cruither in 20 years, and the best result in the past ten years is 22.65 meters thrown by Kovacs shortly after Meng Fan came into contact with the shot put - not long after Meng Fan's 22.66 meters were covered, the more interesting thing is that Wallace threw 22.67 meters not long ago, but the level of the event is not enough for the IAAF not to record and not recognize.

The number above is basically the top score in the shot put now, and the world record is 23.12 meters, set in the 90s of the last century.

For the current troika, it is necessary for someone to break the 23-meter mark first to have a chance to touch this record, which seems to be a long way off, and fortunately all three are young, not really reaching their limits, and have the potential to climb.

Of course, the 16 and 20 Olympic Games are coming, and the timeline is opened, and it is inevitable that there is some hopeful mentality, they were originally confident that someone could reach the 23-meter mark 20 years ago, but as a result, the threshold was not touched.

Therefore, now that Meng Fan who can throw 22.66 meters has suddenly been killed, they are very happy and want to find a stimulus and one more person to chase after each other.

Carriage 3+1!

After the check-in was completed in the greetings, the shot put players entered the field together.

At this time, the competition has already started in the stadium, and the men's 400m, high jump and women's pole vault have all been completed.

Meng Fan and others entered, attracting vigorous applause and fierce screams from the spectators in the stands, well, mainly for Meng Fan. At the same time, it has also attracted a lot of sports professionals, who are not only looking at Meng Fan, but the lineup of athletes in today's shot put project is really a bit dazzling.

In terms of the world ranking alone and regardless of the influence of the project, even in addition to Meng Fan, the athletes participating in the shot put this time are also the most heavyweight, the top 20 to 16 celebrities in the shot put field, this "appearance rate" is definitely the highest among all events, take the men's 100 meters, the top 20 will reach 9, and the top three in the world will come to one.

The layman looks at Meng Fan, the insider looks at the overall lineup, and the relevant media reporters issued such a headline early on-

"Attack on the Shot Put - Launching the First General Attack on the Dusty 31-Year World Record"

This is indeed the most luxurious lineup in the shot put world in the past ten years, all armed, four on 22.5 meters!
