Organic Farm Author: Farmer is flying

Chapter 202: The First Gold Medal

In addition to competing in athletics in Lyon, France, Tagawa's trip to Europe will also take him to Paris and Bordeaux, France, and visit an organic farm outside Paris. Then take the train to Munich, Germany, and visit an organic farm and a modern ordinary farm there.

It then flew from Munich to Switzerland and then to Spain. The last stop on the European tour was the UK, from which we flew directly back home.

This time, he and Xu Jingyi's itinerary was formulated for him by Lin Wenlan, and he contacted the local tour guide in advance. Tian Chuan and Xu Jingyi can communicate fluently in English, but in France, Germany, Spain and other countries, although they can barely communicate in English, it is not as convenient as the local Chinese language, especially on the farm, there are still many people who do not speak English. Coach Ma will accompany him to France and tour Paris and Bordeaux with them after the race, and then return home alone when Tagawa and Xu Jingyi go to Germany.

During this time, Tagawa has become more and more accustomed to leaving some troublesome daily work to the secretarial team led by Lin Wenlan. The secretarial team is affiliated with the asset management company and provides secretarial services to all companies in Tagawa. There are now a total of seven secretaries in the secretarial group, and Lin Wenlan is almost exclusively for Tian Chuan. Li Xiaoyu and Zhang Shuang were both members of the secretarial team when they translated the materials last time, and Tian Chuan was quite satisfied with their work.

On Saturday morning, Tian Chuan, Xu Jingyi and Coach Ma took an Air France plane to Lyon. Racing against the sun all the way, it was still morning when they arrived in Lyon, but when they got off the plane, Xu Jingyi and Coach Ma felt a little tired. Eight hours of continuous flight, even in business class, is hard enough.

At the airport, they were picked up by the reception car of the organizing committee of the competition and returned to the hotel to meet the Chinese track and field team that arrived early. Wu Jinsong, the leader of the Chinese delegation in this competition, felt very sad, and he thought that he might be the least authoritative of the previous team leaders.

China's track and field events have always been weak, especially in track competitions, and they have not won medals for a long time. In terms of women's middle-distance running, "Ma Jiajun" has sprung up and has the strength to win championships in many events, which makes the Chinese people have a feeling of raising their eyebrows. It's just that Ma Dashuai, the coach of "Ma Jiajun", didn't buy his account at all, making him a little hard in front of other contestants. And today, this Tian Chuan is not an obedient person, not only did he arrive the day before the game, but he actually came with his girlfriend! In addition, this guy even greeted him through the State General Administration of Sports, saying that his performance in discipline and other aspects could not be restricted. In other words, their delegation could only provide services and could not demand anything from him. However, this Tagawa has the strength to win the championship in the shot put and several long-distance running events, and in the long jump, the possibility of winning a medal also exists, which makes people have to pay attention to it.

Team Leader Wu had no choice but to point the finger at Xu Jingyi: "This lady is your girlfriend? ”

Tian Chuan spread his hands and said in embarrassment: "That's not easy, she is not only my girlfriend, but also my translator, and she wants to live with me." ”

Translator, it turned out to be a translator, this statement made Team Leader Wu cry and laugh, who didn't know that the famous Tagawa Tian was fluent in English like a native language, and when he held a friendly martial arts match, he talked and laughed with a group of Americans, so that those professional translators of the Sports Institute couldn't interject.

Team Leader Wu had no choice but to assign them a room, one for Coach Ma, and one for Tian Chuan and Xu Jingyi.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tagawa accompanied the players of the team to the sports field where the competition was held. The activities of adapting to the venue ended at 4 p.m., and the organizers had to prepare the equipment for the opening ceremony here later and clear the venue in advance.

Tagawa is used to going to bed late, and he is not uncomfortable with the jet lag of these few hours. He didn't go out that night for tomorrow's game. Xu Jingyi was a little tired after a long flight, so she didn't accept Tian Chuan's suggestion to let her go out to play, and went to bed early.

Tian Chuan couldn't sleep, so he opened his notebook in the room and studied Xiaohui to write a travelogue. When he came today, the plane ran all the way in front of the sun, and the scenery on the road was in the morning, and the scenery was very beautiful. Tagawa's writing is not as beautiful as Megumi's, but it is simple and calm, and there are some associations beyond the scenery, which is even more novel, and with the wonderful photos, there is another point of intrigument.

The next day was Sunday, and the International Athletics Grand Prix opened in the morning. There was no too complicated opening ceremony, and after the delegations entered, there were singers who sang two songs, and then the competition began.

The competition will last for five days, and Tagawa will compete on the first day of the race with the shot put preliminaries and the marathon. Both competitions were held in the afternoon, but there was a bit of a conflict in timing, with the marathon about twenty minutes after the shot put start and he could only throw two rounds. In both rounds, he will be aiming to make a good pitch and reach the final.

Tian Chuan did not deliberately recuperate in the morning, but took advantage of the privileges of the contestants to accompany Xu Jingyi to watch the game in the stands.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the preliminaries of the men's shot put competition began. Among the more than 50 contestants, Tagawa was drawn in the sixteenth place order. The pace of the race was much slower than Tagawa had expected, and it wasn't until more than ten minutes later that it was his turn to throw for the first time, and it seemed that he only had this one throw today.

Tagawa had no choice but to risk throwing with all his might, which was the only chance for the shot put competition. He was the only Chinese player in the shot put, and many Chinese spectators in the stands cheered him on. Tagawa has been using a spinning throw since that injury, and he still does this time. He spindle, charged, and exerted force, and in one go, the lead ball in his hand flew far away. He felt that he had played almost all of his strength in this throw, and he should be a lot better than his previous results. Until the shot put hits the ground and the referee's white flag is raised, it is confirmed that his result is valid. Without waiting to see the specific results, I ran to the start area of the marathon, and the race was about to start.

At this time, the front position has been occupied by other players, he hurriedly asked the polo coach who helped him to check in to get the electronic identity card, hanging on his left wrist, just walked to the starting area, he heard a gunshot, the game began, and more than 60 players participating in the game rushed forward at the same time.

Tagawa ran at the end of the line, overtaking the runners in front of him one by one and chasing the leaders in front of him. By the time he saw the first group running in front, the first group had already pulled him away more than a hundred meters, and there were two other groups in between.

Tagawa was not in a hurry or impatient, and approached the group in front of him step by step at the speed he was used to. By the time he overtook the second and third groups and finally caught up with the tail of the first group, the race had been almost ten kilometers long.

At this time, the first group had split again, and three black and one white runners gradually accelerated, leaving the rest of the first group behind and running in front. Tian Chuan took advantage of the speed he had just raised, so he also accelerated to follow.

When he ran past the third timing point at the fifteen-kilometer mark, he suddenly saw Coach Ma standing in the crowd on the side of the road. The audience watching the marathon was almost mostly blond and blue-eyed Europeans, with only a few black people dotted among them, and the horse coach stood in the middle of them, very eye-catching.

Coach Ma saw that Tagawa was running among the five people in the first group, and it seemed that the race was relatively smooth and he was in a good mood. He jumped with Tagawa on the side of the road, and said to Tagawa as he ran: "Keep your rhythm, don't try to record anything, getting a medal is a victory." Seeing Tian Chuan nodded, he said: "Your shot put throw score is 22.05 meters, which has broken the Asian record, and I have already completed the second round of throwing when I came out, and I am temporarily ranked first, so there should be no problem in entering the final." ”

Hearing that the result of that throw was so good, Tagawa was also very happy, nodded to Coach Ma, quickened his pace to chase the pace of the first group, and ran into the distance.

By the time they reached the turnaround point, the first group had already left the players behind them far behind. The strength of the three blacks was very strong, and they were a little faster than the little man who won the Beijing Marathon before the Spring Festival, but Tagawa could still keep up. The little black man didn't participate this time, I don't know why.

In addition to Tian Chuan, there is also a runner in the Chinese delegation, Liang Wenjin, who also participated in the marathon, but he has long been pulled behind, his strength is too weak, and he can't cooperate with Tian Chuan, he can only rely on his own strength to fight.

Lyon is located in the east-central part of France, not too far from the Alps, surrounded by a large agricultural area, although it is an industrial city, the environment is very good, and there is almost no heavy industrial pollution. Now that winter is coming to an end, the temperature here is a little higher than in China's capital, the sky is high and blue, and the air is fresh. Tagawa felt his breathing smooth, his body was full of strength, and he had a hunch in his heart that even if he didn't win the championship this time, he would run a pretty good result.

Sure enough, when he was less than five kilometers away from the finish line, when he passed the last automatic timing point, he felt that he had enough energy to spare, so he accelerated his pace even further, overtaking the four runners in front of him and running at the front.

Not to be outdone, the white player and one black player from the CIS formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union also accelerated to keep up with Tagawa, while the other two blacks were not affected by him and continued to maintain their own rhythm.

With more than 1,000 meters to go, the two black runners who were pulled less than 50 meters behind began to accelerate, and Tagawa also began to accelerate a little later than them. The black man who was following Tagawa was a little overwhelmed, and before entering the gate of the stadium where the game was held, he was overtaken by the two black men in green game clothes behind him, followed by the white man.

Tagawa also felt a little weak at this time, and was chased closer and closer by the two black men, but the end of the race was also getting closer and closer, and he tried to adjust his breathing and accelerate towards the finish line in front of him.

The spectators in the stadium also stood up and cheered for the marathon runners, and Tagawa, as a yellow runner, took the lead in the long-distance running race to a great surprise to the spectators.

Tagawa fought his last strength and crossed the finish line first when the black runners behind him were less than two meters away, winning his first gold medal of the Grand Prix in athletics.
