On the earth in 2000, there was no "drag reduction shark skin" that kind of new high-tech swimsuit, which appeared after the 04 Athens Olympics and was generally used by athletes from developed countries in the 08 Beijing Olympics, especially Phelps, who broke the world record with the blessing of science and technology.

In later generations, many Chinese people said that "the Water Cube is a good place", and too many world records in swimming were born in that session and that place. But in fact, it is just a simple "statistical induction", and there is no causal relationship. A rational analysis will show that the venue did not help to break the record, the real help was the new swimsuit.

However, although there is no "drag reduction sharkskin" these days, the shape of swimsuits is still relatively casual and diverse, which does not mean that men have to wear boxers and expose their chest muscles to swim competitions.

If you want to wear a one-piece swimsuit, you can wear it, and the Olympic sportswear sponsors will also provide all the styles, so as not to create an excuse for the athletes, "I want to support you too, but you can't make the style I want, so I can not wear it", which is nothing more than the blessing of these styles without the blessing of technological BUFF.

And it is precisely because everyone does not have the blessing of technology BUFF that the sports brand sponsor endorsement agreement of this Olympic Games dares to write such a bully clause, and Nike wants to spend so much money to be qualified to smash. If he really wanted to sign like this eight years later, the organizing committee would not dare to ask him for so much money to monopolize, because at that time, many athletes will boycott Nike and ask to wear their niche high-tech brands.

It's like Coca-Cola has always been a sponsor of the World Cup, and has signed an exclusive contract requiring all the drinks that all the World Cup footballers drink must be sponsored by Coca-Cola.

But in this case, Coca-Cola can't just provide garbage such as carbonated drinks, it has to provide distilled purified water, natural mineral water, sports fruit juices similar to Gatorade, and sports drinks similar to Red Bull.

In this way, when later generations encounter cases like Croatian athletes drinking Red Bull at the World Cup, Coca-Cola is qualified to ask FIFA to strictly enforce the law and fine the Croatian team. Because it is based on the argument that "Coca-Cola produces and provides 'Dongle', a drink that fully matches the functions of Red Bull, the Croatian team's defense that 'you must drink Red Bull' is not valid."

Everything, from the scientific and technological environment of the times to the legal evolution of event sponsorship, has provided conditions for Gu Kun's layout today.

Or rather, Gu Kun has privately studied the legal loopholes of the sponsorship terms of this tournament with the legal consultants around him, and has been planning for a long time with no intention of gaining prestige.

……

Off-site, lounge.

After the semi-finals, Gu Kun immediately returned to the special lounge he rented to relax his muscles, adjust his physiological rhythm, and prepare for the next battle more than two hours later.

With so many private matters to attend to, he certainly wouldn't use the bathrooms and locker rooms of the swimming pool to rest like other athletes. He would definitely rent a house in the closest location next to the stadium as a temporary settlement.

As soon as she entered the house, Luo Haili rubbed his shoulders, arms and thighs and calves with her own hands, relaxed his muscles, and complained:

"Are you okay? This is too much, if you can't break the record, you can't break the record, why do you have to play to the level of second place in the semifinals, it's a little fake. Just now, I read the official website of CNN, as well as many online media, and within minutes after the competition, the news that you "only won second place in the competition for the first time in five years since your debut" was sent out as a tidbit.

Alas, it's scary to think about the Internet media, which is like four years ago, only newspapers and television stations, at least once a day, or news programs that are delayed for hours until the evening. It's like the Internet is coming, and it can be as fast as a few minutes to publish an express report. ”

Luo Haili sighed when she said this.

Gu Kun only sighed slightly in his heart, this time CNN's response speed was not surprising in his opinion, in fact, it took 15 minutes to write a quick news and upload it quickly.

If the Internet is really left to develop for another ten or eight years, a lot of major news will be updated in seconds.

It is only Luo Haili, who has just been in contact with the Internet for less than two years, that she will feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Gu Kun just drank Red Bull calmly, and teased in a pointing tone: "Isn't that good, I take the first, the density, click-through rate, and attention of the report may not be as high as if I won the second once, right?"

There is a saying that dog bites people is not news, no one watches it, people bite dogs is news, and only people watch it. People all over the world are a little numb to see me win the gold medal and break the first record, and occasionally embellish a second, and the sports media around the world still want to thank me, at least I provide them with a sense of rhythm that wants to be promoted and suppressed. ”

Luo Haili was stunned, but she had to admit that Gu Kun was right.

Because he didn't take the first place this time, the real news coverage is more intensive than winning the first place.

She was just a little puzzled: "How did your swimsuit break? Did it tear in advance?"

Gu Kun smiled: "No, just try to pull and age a little, when I turned around, I took a deep breath, and the triceps of the chest muscles worked together, and the swimsuit burst by relying on the chest muscles." ”

This hand was done by Gu Kun, and no one would doubt it at all.

Who made Gu Kun the man with the largest lung capacity in the world and the strongest in diving and swimming? His chest muscles are more developed than Schwarzenegger, and he can achieve those two-dimensional clothes explosion effects in the three-dimensional real world, who is not convinced?

If you don't accept it, you will admit it obediently! It's Nike's swimsuit that is not of good quality!

About 40 minutes later, the massage was also finished, and the full set of physiotherapy was done, Gu Kun rubbed his legs and ordered: "It's almost time to do it, you, help me contact the organizing committee immediately, the statement and the fine are ready, we take the initiative to pay the fine, don't wear Nike swimsuits!"

It was at this moment that Gu Kun revealed all the details of the specific operation to Luo Haili.

I just did it step by step, and there was no need to leak it all in advance.

Luo Haili was already prepared in her heart, and after hearing this, she pondered for a while, bit her lip, and decisively executed: "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

There is only one hour left before the 50-meter freestyle final, and now the shot is just right, which will not delay things and is easy to maintain the "surprise" degree.

A few minutes later, Luo Haili rushed back to the venue and first found the on-site docking personnel of the organizing committee.

That's an Australian, after all, these roles are taken on by people from the host country.

"Hello, I am the leader of the Lan team, our team has had some cases of default, and I am here to pay the fine. Luo Haili said straight to the point.

The staff member was still stunned for a few seconds: "Lan Fang, isn't that Gu Kun's country? Do you have anything prohibited? I remember yesterday I warned you to wear the brand of sporting goods sponsored by the sponsor, but didn't you rectify it, then you don't need to be fined."

I'm pretty ashamed of this today...... I heard that Gu Kun's results have been affected, and there may be a problem with the quality of Nike's swimsuits, but it's hard to say now, we have to investigate in-depth and go through the procedures......"

Obviously, the staff thought that Luo Haili was here to ask for an explanation.

Who knows, Luo Haili's answer is very chic:

"No, no, no, we don't want you to investigate and explain, we can't wait to investigate, we checked the sponsor terms, it seems that if you violate the rules in the competition and do not wear the clothing of the sponsor of the exclusive sponsorship to participate in the competition, and refuse to repent after being warned, it is a compensation of 50,000 US dollars, and the combined enforcement of recidivism, and the subsequent times are counted as 20,000 US dollars each time.

Gu Kun participated in 11 events this time, with a total of 28 appearances, 6 games have passed, and there are 22 games left, and we have decided that we will not wear Nike swimsuits in every subsequent game, so it will be a total of 50,000 plus 21 times 20,000 dollars, 470,000 US dollars - na, after signing this acceptance letter, we will immediately send 470,000 US dollars internationally to the corresponding account.

For us, winning more gold medals and breaking more world records is key, and we can't let poor quality products affect the performance of our athletes. ”

The staff of the organizing committee were dumbfounded.

If so, where will Nike's signboard go? This slap in the face is too miserable!

"People would rather not wear your clothes once and find you tens of thousands of dollars than wear them",

What kind of quality garbage does this have to become, or how outdated the design and technology are, so that people will be so disgusted!

The staff could only cry and plead: "Don't ...... Don't be like this, everything is negotiable, if it is confirmed that the product does not meet Gu Kun's personal requirements after going through the appraisal, you can also enjoy the exemption of the exemption clause, please wait, don't rush to pay the money. This thing doesn't make sense, it's okay for others to wear this swimsuit, why is Gu Kun wearing it?"

Luo Haili's face was flat, and at this point, she had to go back without hesitation and solemnly: "What do you mean that Gu Kun can't be okay if others are fine?" Gu Kun's chest muscles are the most developed among the men on the earth, and his lung capacity is also the largest among the men on the earth.

What a swimsuit needs is tight tension and tenacity, and if it doesn't stick tightly and doesn't bind the flesh, there will be a lot of underwater resistance. When he trained, he chose the same size as Adidas, and no matter how deep he breathed and his chest muscles tightened, he would not burst his clothes, but Nike's would not work, what explanation is there for this? It can only be said that Nike's quality margin is not as good as Adi's. ”

The people of the organizing committee were speechless and could no longer refute, so they could only go through the procedures for collecting money very reluctantly and humbly.

These technical details emphasized by Luo Haili are definitely not false.

For example, some female swimmers in China in later generations who were comic and emoji openly said that "the swimsuit is very tight, and the chest is strangled, and the swimsuit suspender can hurt a person to death if it is flicked".

This is because the competition swimsuit should try to tighten and tighten the floating flesh on the body as much as possible and reduce the resistance. Strangle the flesh so hard, which means that the original size of the swimsuit is on the small side, and it must have a huge elastic modulus, which can be stretched to a certain extent without collapsing.

And it is true that the quality of Nike's workmanship is slightly weaker than that of Adi, which is also true. Because Nike is not about "professional/quality", but about "design/fashion".

In terms of transferring the industrial chain and OEM to the third world, Nike is also going faster than Adi, and after China joins the WTO next year, Putian will have a bunch of factories for OEM Nike shoes, as well as Vietnam.

The reason why Nike developed well in later generations is also because "Adi does pay more attention to quality, but most people don't need the redundant quality that only professional athletes can use, they just need to dress fashionably."

It's a pity that today I met Gu Kun, a top athlete who needs extreme quality, to the extent that I can see the critical point of the difference in quality between the two brands.
