Chapter 204: A Trip to Europe (I)
A new day has begun. On this day, the only event that Tagawa had to participate in was the final of the men's long jump. The other two events he signed up for, the men's 5,000m and 10,000m, will both take place tomorrow.
As soon as Tagawa entered the stadium where the game was held, he attracted the attention of journalists from all over the world. After all, there are too few athletes like him who participate in multiple competitions in track and field and track at the same time and win the championship.
For the men's long jump final that Tagawa will participate in today, reporters from various countries do not have much hope. Judging from the results of yesterday's preliminaries and the limited results that Tagawa has achieved since entering the sports world, 8.4 meters seems to be his limit, and if he wants to improve again, the possibility is almost gone. His 100-meter score has also been dug up, and without an absolutely dominant running speed, the long jump performance cannot be too good.
The result was not unexpected, and Tagawa made another breakthrough on the second attempt, improving his time to 8.43 meters and still finishing seventh in the final standings.
This time, Tagawa did not achieve particularly good results, and many fans were inevitably a little disappointed, but they were just a little disappointed. His next two long-distance races are still worth looking forward to.
On this day, Tian Chuan still did not stay in the stadium for long, and after completing the game, he took Xu Jingyi, accompanied by Shi Dayong, to visit the famous places of Lyon.
After a day of excursion, Vieux Lyon, Place Croiss, Mont Fourvière, and several famous churches have left their footsteps, and after taking in the exotic scenery, they enjoy a French-style meal before returning to the hotel after dark.
As the race enters its fourth day, Tagawa has a long-distance running race in the morning and afternoon today, which is a huge challenge for the physical fitness of a long-distance runner like him. Many players signed up for these two competitions at the same time, and put forward a lot of opinions about the organizer's arrangement, but the competition will continue, and everyone can only fight.
Tagawa welcomes this kind of arrangement, and for a player like him with good physical fitness, he can achieve good results by arranging the competition more intensively.
At 8:40 a.m., the 5,000-meter race started first. Tagawa was suppressed by the cooperation of the three Ethiopian players in the race, and was stopped by the cooperation of the two players without a temper, although he fought hard in the final stage of the race, he still did not complete the final overtake of the leader, and only finished second. But this second-place result is enough to outperform the other competitors.
Due to the tactical blocking of Ethiopian players, several leading players did not run particularly well, and Tagawa, the runner-up, is still a certain gap from the Chinese record.
In the afternoon, the 10,000-meter race began. Tagawa accepted the lesson of the morning, and did not get entangled again, but ran ahead of the curve. Although he suffered a bit of a disadvantage in running this way, his physical advantage was beyond the reach of other runners. After only two laps, there were no other runners running behind him, and he was running in the front by himself, while the first group of four or five people was thrown some distance behind and ate the ashes.
Tagawa maintained his lead until the end of the race, winning the event without dispute. Due to the impact of the consecutive races in the morning and afternoon, everyone's results were not ideal, and Tagawa's championship only improved the Chinese record by a little more than 3 seconds, which is still a big gap from the Asian record.
Tagawa's game is over, and most of the team's games are over. With the joint efforts of Tian Chuan and Ma Jiajun, the Chinese delegation has achieved unprecedented good results, with eight golds, five silvers and six bronzes. To this end, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China sent a congratulatory message to the delegation to praise the delegation's fighting spirit.
Team Leader Wu invited Tian Chuan to take a special plane back to China with everyone, but Tian Chuan refused. He came to Europe this time not only for this competition, but also for the collection of scientific research project data, agricultural investigations, and the plan to take Xu Jingyi to investigate European bread craft varieties and tourism, and the trip is expected to last for about 20 days, and he must not go back now.
After listening to Tian Chuan's explanation, the people of the track and field delegation were also speechless, what kind of person is this, there are too many things to focus on, and the track and field that they can't reach is just a hobby, and it is completely in the nature of playing tickets in his life, far less than other jobs, which he does as a career.
On the last day of the competition, Tagawa really did not appear again in the competition, and he did not participate in the final closing ceremony, so he should have gone to Paris.
In fact, Tian Chuan and Xu Jingyi did not leave Lyon immediately. In the morning, they visited a farm on the outskirts of Lyon, where they saw the industrial breeding of cattle, sheep and chickens, as well as the cultivation of vegetables in the reserve. After returning to the city in the afternoon, we went to an old bakery to see the making and selling of bread. It wasn't until after dinner that I flew out of Lyon and headed for Paris, the fashion capital of the world. The difference between the take-off time of the plane they took and the special plane that the delegation took was only more than half an hour, but they did not board the plane in the same terminal and did not meet each other.
France is a small country, and it only takes an hour's flight from Lyon to Paris. Paris is lit up at night and is a city that never sleeps. However, Tagawa has been racing hard these days, and he didn't travel, so he went directly to the booked hotel to rest.
Although Tagawa is tired, his biological clock has been developed and he can't sleep prematurely. After a rain with Xu Jingyi, after coaxing Xu Jingyi to sleep, he turned on the computer and wrote today's travelogue.
He wrote his travelogues entirely under the influence of Xiao Hui. After reading Xiaohui's American travelogue, he was very envious, and this time, he came out with the idea of writing a travelogue. After writing for a few days, the writing gradually became proficient, and the writing became more and more fluent and beautiful.
Today is the most abundant day of attractions since they came to France, Tian Chuan specially wrote "Modern Farms in France" and "From Lyon to Paris", after writing, I asked the hotel for Internet services, and sent the travelogue to the "Ten Thousand Miles" website. Nowadays, it is not popular for hotels to provide Internet service for customers in their rooms, and it is still a hassle to want to access the Internet.
When I was in Lyon, because it was for the contestants, the hotel where I stayed was specially equipped with Internet cables in all rooms and connected to the Internet to facilitate the communication between the delegations and their respective countries. This is just the exception, even in a five-star hotel in a fashion-forward metropolis like Paris, there is no internet in the room.
Tian Chuan did not write a travelogue about the bakery, but Xu Jingyi made a special record of it, and she did not plan to post it on the Internet as a travelogue, but to keep it as an internal information of Tianxin Mill.
They are expected to spend three days in Paris, one day at the Louvre, then a farm in the suburbs that produces green food, and the rest of the time to browse the city's famous sights and do some shopping. If you don't go crazy shopping in Paris, you will be left with quite a regret.
During their stay in Paris, they were served by a local Parisian tour guide. This was at the request of Tian Chuan, and Lin Wenlan contacted him to replace it. They don't have to find a guide who can speak Chinese, as long as they can explain things in English. This tour guide, who majored in economics at university, has a wide range of knowledge, and is now a professional tour guide, and has done a very good job as a tour guide. Tagawa was very satisfied with her and offered to ask her to continue with her to the next stop, Bordeaux, but was refused. The guide's reasoning was that she was not familiar with Bordeaux, nor with the wine and vineyards, and could not satisfy them.
After their tour of Paris, Tagawa and Xu Jingyi stayed in Bordeaux for another two days. They weren't particularly fond of wine, but Tagawa was curious about this legendary wine region and was interested in vineyard management and pest control. However, it was not the growing season for the grapes, so they had to take a general look and listen to the introduction.
They then took the train from Bordeaux to Munich, Germany, a journey they had specially requested and spent a day on the train. But the day was well spent, as they took in the unique rural and urban landscapes of both countries.
In Munich, instead of stopping in the city, they went straight to the local countryside, focusing on an organic farm and an organic farm. Then there's a visit to a historic bakery in a small rural town.
The organic farm is quite exaggerated, the pigs and chickens have their own villas, and the scenery around the villas is beautiful, and the idyllic scenery makes Tian Chuan a little envious. But when Tian Chuan asked about the economic situation of the farm, the owner of the farm was a little helpless, and the income of the farm could only barely maintain its operation, but the income was not high. The cost of breeding here is too high, and the price of green food is more than twice that of ordinary food and cannot fully make up for the high cost. This is the happiness of the boss himself, and Tagawa himself can't do it for the time being.
But the model here has also given Tian Chuan a lot of inspiration, if the scale of his green agricultural production is further expanded and the cost is reduced, it will enter the homes of ordinary people at a faster speed, and he can use a model similar to this to maintain his high-end customer base. Those high-end members will not refuse this kind of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised in such a beautiful environment.
And Xu Jingyi's harvest in Munich is also quite large. She found two types of bread that she had never seen before and a biscuit in a bakery in a small country town, and learned the basics. The owner of this bakery is an old woman who runs this historic bakery on her own. The grandmother was very appreciative of the two of them going deep into the countryside to explore the bakery, and left Xu Jingyi with contact information, hoping to contact more in the future.
