Chapter 66: The Game Begins
The registration for the Clover Cup Marathon was carried out at the same time in all the jointly organized universities, although the time was rushed, but there were many applicants, mainly because the rewards given by Yuan Hua were too tempting. And even if you don't get the bonus, as long as you run the whole race, you can go to a five-star hotel for a meal, why not?
The registration deadline was 5 p.m. on Thursday, and He Bifen called Yuan Hua at about 5:10 p.m.
"Xiao Yuan, I think our competition will be very successful. β
In just one sentence, Yuan Hua could hear Director He's excitement.
Yuan Hua said with a smile: "That's still Director He's good leadership." β
He Bifen added some pride in addition to her excitement, and said with a smile: "Everywhere, everything should be done, or Xiao Yuan, you have this consciousness and are willing to contribute to the sports cause, by the way, Xiao Yuan, how many people do you guess this time?"
Yuan Hua estimated and said, "There are a thousand people?"
"More than 2,000 people!"
No wonder He Bifen is excited, the number of participants far exceeds Yuan Hua's budget!
Although he was very happy, Yuan Hua was in trouble and said, "Director He, I didn't expect so many commemorative shirts and hats!"
He Bifen said: "I expected it when I looked at the registration situation the day before yesterday, so I arranged to do some more, the quality you didn't do well, but the design is according to you, but the color is changed, I plan to give your commemorative shirt and commemorative hat to the runners who finish the race, and the other runners will send us the ones we prepared." β
Yuan Hua said: "In this case, I may not be able to finish it." β
He Bifen thought for a while and said: "That's no way, you have to distinguish them, otherwise the runners who also didn't finish the race will get different commemorative shirts, so everyone will have an unbalanced mentality." β
This also makes sense, Yuan Hua thought about it and said: "Otherwise, set up a point two kilometers before the finish line, and as long as this distance is completed, I will send my commemorative shirt, and tell everyone before the race that there are only so many commemorative shirts, which can be regarded as setting a goal for everyone to adhere to." β
He Bifen said: "It's a good idea, but I propose to set up this point five kilometers before the finish line, otherwise it will be difficult to finish." β
"Okay. β
This Yuan Hua doesn't matter, he is now adhering to the professional affairs and leaving it to professional people to deal with.
After calling Director He, Yuan Hua called Dong Jiaying again.
"Why did you suddenly call today?"
Dong Jiaying's voice from the Energetic Dance Troupe also came, and this girl felt like she was playing a game at any time.
Yuan Hua has to criticize and criticize, he can't let such a good girl be ruined by the game.
"I don't think you're playing games all the time, don't go out to exercise, be careful to gain weight. β
Dong Jiaying: "No, why don't you go out on such a hot day!"
Yuan Hua: "Exercising more is good for your body, what can you go swimming in hot weather." β
Dong Jiaying: "I won't." β
Yuan Hua: "That's not good, when you come to Jincheng, you must be taught." β
You have to get a church, or what if you and I fall into the water at the same time?
Dong Jiaying didn't know what Yuan Hua was thinking, and said happily: "Okay, then you can teach me when I come to Jincheng." β
Yuan Hua: "Don't worry, Baojiao Baohui." β
Dong Jiaying smiled and said, "You just called to talk about this?"
Yuan Hua: "I almost forgot, I'm going to run a marathon tomorrow." β
Dong Jiaying was taken aback and said, "You still participate in the marathon!
The man couldn't stand the woman the most and asked him if he could do it, so Yuan Hua said: "Do you believe that I will show you a championship?"
This is not a joke, Yuan Hua thinks that his current speed is comparable to that of professional athletes, and it is not too much to win the championship of an amateur competition!
However, Dong Jiaying really didn't believe it, and said, "Okay, if you have the ability, show it to me." β
Yuan Hua began to fool Dafa and asked, "Then what did I really say?"
Dong Jiaying: "Take it!"
Yuan Hua: "Don't you believe it, why don't we make a bet?"
The naΓ―ve Dong Jiaying was immediately fooled and said, "Okay, what are you talking about betting." β
Yuan Hua smiled proudly in his heart and said, "How about you promise me one thing if I win?"
Dong Jiaying immediately alerted: "What are you going to do?"
Yuan Hua said: "What do you care about me, just ask you if you dare to bet?"
Dong Jiaying hesitated for a long time and asked, "Then what if you lose?"
Yuan Hua said: "I'll promise you one thing, anything, whatever you want." β
Dong Jiaying weighed it for a long time and felt that it was impossible for Yuan Hua to win, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, bet!"
Yuan Hua showed that smile and said, "Then you wait, when you come to Jincheng, I will give you a championship medal." β
At 7 a.m. on August 11, 2006, at least 10,000 people gathered at the Everbright Stadium, including media reporters, because a city leader had personally presided over the opening ceremony.
In fact, there was no ceremony, just a rostrum, and a large number of principals, vice principals, and directors of the sports committee stood on it to make a speech, probably talking about the meaning of the marathon or something, and thanking the organizers and sponsors of the race.
However, Yuan Hua had mentioned it to He Bifen before, so let him not mention him, so he only mentioned the youth and beauty of the campus in his speech. Although it was brought by a sentence, it also left an impression in the hearts of many college students, which is not a very unexpected surprise.
Yuan Hua was also a player, so he didn't appear on the rostrum, he and the players crowded on the stadium track together, while Qin Xue stood next to the leaders in his place. Yuan Hua could see that Qin Xue was still a little nervous, and glared at him after seeing Yuan Hua in the crowd.
Yuan Hua's position stood very forward, and a buddy who was more than one meter eight next to him glanced at Yuan Hua and said, "You signed up early, it's actually No. 1." β
Yuan Hua didn't tell him that he didn't need to sign up at all, but looked at this buddy's number, which was also quite high, it was the eighth, so he said, "It's not too late for you." β
The buddy smiled, then stretched out his hand to Yuan Hua and said, "Introduce yourself, the champion of this competition, Cao Feng!"
Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I am also the champion of this competition, Yuan Hua!"
The hands of the two shook together, and then secretly competed, of course Yuan Hua didn't use all his strength, otherwise few people would be able to withstand it now.
In the end, the two seemed to be evenly matched, Cao Feng said: "Yes, buddy, you are qualified to be my opponent." β
At this time, the leader's speech ended, and the president of Everbright read out the rules of the competition and some details of the rewards formulated by Yuan Hua. At this time, the students below were much more excited, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
At 7:20, the competition officially began, but the girls' group started first.
As soon as the flare gun went off, nearly a thousand girls rushed out. They are all dressed in professional or not-so-professional sportswear, revealing a pair of long or not-so-long white legs, the scene is spectacular and eye-catching.
At 7:30, the boys' group set off, and Yuan Hua was the first to rush out and rushed out of the sports field first.
The race route was from the Komtar Main School Gate, and half of the main road along the way was closed, while the branch road was closed for the race.
Yuan Hua took the lead, and before he ran out of the campus, he saw that some girls had given up. After all, it is an amateur competition, and it is normal for the quality of the contestants to be uneven. Yuan Hua pretended not to see it, and ran past the girl without squinting.
After that, Yuan Hua also kept seeing girls with their waists crossed and panting either standing still, or still insisting on moving forward, and there were still people cheering them on the side of the track.
It wasn't until one kilometer later that the men's and women's tracks forked, and Yuan Hua was finally far ahead.
"Although it's a collection of energy running, it's too good, it's just standing out from the crowd!"
Yuan Hua muttered proudly, and then saw a buddy sitting in the back seat of the battery car holding a camera to photograph him.
Yuan Hua was a little depressed, he didn't want to be too public, but he couldn't go and drive people away, they were reporting normally. Fortunately, after taking two photos, the battery car slowed down, and it is estimated that I went to shoot the players behind me again.
Yuan Hua was very distressed, feeling like a firefly in the night, he was so conspicuous everywhere he went, and he couldn't keep a low profile at all! You see, he can publish a novel at will, and he wants to win the championship by holding a competition at will, he really didn't mean it, but he was too good.
was proud, Cao Feng passed past Yuan Hua little by little, Yuan Hua looked at this buddy in surprise, and then gritted his teeth and overtook him again. Then, Yuan Hua glanced back, but found that Cao Feng was staring ahead, his face was serious, he kept his rhythm unchanged, and there seemed to be no Yuan Hua in his eyes at all.
Yuan Hua's heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to understand what true sportsmanship was.
