Chapter 203: Competition in the Delegation
Immediately after Tagawa won the championship, his results were displayed on the big screen in the stadium: 2:08:11. For a world-class competition, this is not a particularly outstanding result, but for China, it is quite good. It broke China's national record and won the title in one of the world's top competitions for the first time. Although Ma Jiajun's Zhuyu is in front, China has achieved zero breakthroughs in the middle and long-distance running events, but they are all women's events, and Tian Chuan's championship is the first world-class championship for Chinese athletes in the men's track event, which is of great significance.
This track and field Grand Prix was not a competition that the Chinese people paid special attention to, and the Chinese athletes have always been weak in track and field events, which is also one of the reasons why the Chinese people do not pay enough attention to track and field competitions. But this competition is different, this competition, not only has a lot of attention and controversy Ma Jiajun many players participated, but also Tian Chuan, who is known as the "Star of Hope", participated. Tian Chuan has the strength to compete for the championship in many events across the field and track races, and is also a recent smash hit Tai Chi master, a young entrepreneur, a billionaire, young and golden, tall and handsome, and an idol in the hearts of Chinese girls. The national television sports channel also made great efforts to broadcast the whole game live.
When Tagawa won the championship, it was 7 o'clock in the morning on Monday morning, which is the morning rush hour for school and work, but there were still many people waiting in front of the TV to watch the game. As Tagawa crossed the line, cheers rang out from all over the country to celebrate the breakthrough of the Chinese men's athletes in the track event.
In addition, Tagawa's two record-breaking events in the shot put and marathon events have also become the focus of attention. Due to time constraints, Tagawa broke the Asian record in the men's shot put with only one throw in the preliminaries, and entered the final with the first place in the preliminaries, which also made everyone full of expectations. Among a large group of shot put players with big shoulders and round waists, Tagawa's well-proportioned and toned body shape also attracted a lot of attention.
After the game, Tagawa gave a brief interview to a reporter from national television, and then turned down other reporters' requests for interviews. His reasons are quite good: he is too physically exhausted after the game and needs to go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.
In fact, Tagawa did not have a serious physical overdraft in today's competition, and tomorrow there is only the shot put final and the long jump preliminaries, and there is not much physical demand. After returning to the hotel where he stayed, he did not go to rest or do any recovery exercises, but practiced the standing pile of Tai Chi in his room for a while, and boxed casually in the room to relieve the fatigue after a long run.
That night, he revised the travelogue he wrote yesterday, retouched the photos, and posted them on the "Ten Thousand Miles" website. Today, I only cared about participating in the race, and I didn't do a special tour, but I just took some photos of the local customs on the road between the hotel and the gymnasium, and asked Coach Ma for a few photos of him. Today's photos are mostly ordinary cultural records, less shocking than those magnificent scenic spots, but more exotic customs close to life.
The next day, Tagawa's long jump preliminaries and shot put finals were both held in the morning.
First up was the long jump heats, where Tagawa committed one foul in three attempts, and the best time in the other two attempted jumps was 8.40m, placing him seventh out of all 33 competitors and reaching the final. The best time in the preliminaries was 8.70m jumped by American star Powell, which is close to the world record and is already difficult to beat.
In the shot put final, Tagawa tried to throw four times, with a best score of only 21.57 meters, and there was also a foul out of the circle. Only two of the other riders exceeded 20m, with the best one throwing 21.77m, with Tagawa winning the title with his only throw in yesterday's heats. It was his second gold medal in this competition. Regardless of the results of the next three competitions, he has become one of the biggest winners of the Chinese delegation in this competition. Two gold medals, two record-breaking, is indeed worthy of his pride for a while.
After the game, Tian Chuan and Coach Ma went to the area of the Chinese delegation to greet Team Leader Wu and the people in the team, he didn't want to come to the gymnasium in the afternoon, he had to go to the local library to check the materials. Team Leader Wu was also speechless about this legendary figure, and when he was in such a tense game, he actually wanted to check what information. But there is no way to take this by yourself, people playing sports is completely a hobby, and in what Tian Chuan is engaged in, he ranks after the fourth. He has also heard people mention the things in the front, such as agricultural development technology, schooling, company management and tai chi, etc., and participating in official sports competitions is only started after being persuaded by others many times. It is said to be to increase the influence of his tai chi.
So far, the Chinese delegation has won three golds, one silver and four bronzes, which is much stronger than the previous competitions. In addition to Tian Chuan, there is also a women's 1500m championship that was also won by Ma Jiajun. Team Leader Wu wants to hold a meeting for all members of the delegation after the game tonight to praise the team members who have achieved good results and give some encouragement to the team members who have not yet completed the game. Tian Chuan said that he would definitely attend on time, but he did not recommend that Leader Wu convene this meeting, in his words, the game has been completed, and the meeting cannot change the result, and those who have not yet completed the game, such a meeting will only increase their pressure, and cannot improve everyone's strength, now it is better to relax and just wait for the last fight.
He suggested that Team Leader Wu hold a meeting on the problems that have occurred in the transactional work in the past two days of the competition, as well as the disciplinary problems that may affect the results, so as to better serve the contestants in the future competitions, eliminate interference, and achieve better results. Team Leader Wu said that his suggestion would be considered.
Tian Chuan didn't say anything more, and when the shot put award was over, he left with Xu Jingyi. Coach Ma did not go with them, but stayed to watch the afternoon game.
In the afternoon, Tian Chuan, accompanied by Xu Jingyi and Shi Dayong, a local guide and interpreter, went to the Lyon City Library to look up information about organic farming. Shi Dayong is a Chinese student who studied automatic control here. It's no stranger to the big library here.
At the library, with the help of Shi Dayong, Tagawa communicated with the management staff for a while, and finally won the qualification to take some photos here. It took him less than 20 minutes to take the photos before he went to the data retrieval room to retrieve the information he needed.
Most of these materials are in English, but many are in French, and he no longer considers those in German or other languages. It was not difficult for him to retrieve and read the English materials, and he did not use the time to give too much help. There was nothing he could do about the French materials, and he relied on Shi Dayong, who had been studying in France for several years, to help translate them. However, Shi Dayong basically didn't understand the professional vocabulary of agriculture, economics, biology, etc., and Tian Chuan had no choice but to find a few papers with his help.
They were busy together until late in the evening, and the three of them came out of the library. Holding the copied mobile hard disk, Tian Chuan lamented that the network was not developed enough, otherwise the data would be transmitted back in minutes, and there would be no need to walk with a heavy mobile hard disk.
At this time, it has entered March, and the time of darkness is much later than in early winter, and now it is dinner time, and the sky has not yet completely darkened. It felt like I was a little out of place in this strange city.
Tian Chuan shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off this emotion, and said to Shi Dayong: "Brother Shi, take us to find a restaurant to eat French food, preferably with some fame." ”
Shi Dayong was not familiar with those famous restaurants, but he had heard of a few, so he told the Tianchuan Trial Court: "I can't afford to consume these high-end restaurants, and I am not familiar with them. And a lot of restaurants need reservations, and I don't know much about the reservation process, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. ”
Tian Chuan asked Shi Dayong to call a taxi for him and asked the driver to take the three of them to a restaurant. In the driver's words, the food in this restaurant is good, it is completely French. This shop is not very well-known in the local area, and there is basically no need to make a reservation.
The three of them had dinner here and found that the driver was very honest and recommended a restaurant that tasted quite good.
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, it was not early, and the meeting time notified by Team Leader Wu was about to arrive. When Tagawa hurried to the conference room, everyone was basically there. Ma Dashuai seemed to have some opinions about Tian Chuan's last arrival, and Tian Chuan didn't care. The meeting was held in accordance with the tone suggested by Tagawa, and it was generally quite successful.
After the meeting, Tagawa said hello to everyone, and went to the room to sort out the information found today and write his own travelogue. Many people in the delegation expressed their dissatisfaction with Tian Chuan's unsociable behavior, and in the end, it was Team Leader Wu who said: "Tian Chuan is different from us, he came to participate in the competition completely as a hobby. He's not going to be in our circle for the rest of his life. Moreover, his results are there, if anyone is not convinced, he can show his strength and deter him with the medals he has won. ”
Hearing what Team Leader Wu said, no one said anything more, and they all went back to their rooms. After Ma Dashuai went back, he convened his team members for a small meeting: "Did you hear what Team Leader Wu said? At the beginning, we got good results, we didn't need to look at the faces of those officials, and now this Tian Chuan has made achievements, of course, it can also be like this." We are different from Tagawa, we have to rely on our own achievements in exchange for a lifetime of jobs. There are still people in our team who have not won tickets for this year's Olympic Games, so I hope everyone will perform well in the next few days and show their strength. ”
