On the afternoon of March 4, 2008, Huaguo Athletics Management Center held a mobilization meeting, hoping that the 12 participating athletes would play their best and strive for victory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there are no medal targets at this World Indoor Championships, so you don't have any pressure, just play well and play at your level.

Then, after emphasizing the discipline of foreign affairs, the discipline of food and lodging, and so on, the meeting was dismissed.

When they walked out of the venue, Liu Xiang and Zhang Huasong happened to come together, and Zhang Huasong asked, "Liu Xiang, how are you now?" ”

Liu Xiang said with a smile: "I listened to your suggestion last time, stopped the attempt to go up the bar in seven steps, maintained the original technique, and now the state is very stable, and this time the World Championships have a chance to win the gold medal!" ”

Zhang Huasong was surprised: "Just a chance? Not sure? ”

Liu Xiang shook his head and said: "I don't have any advantage in the 60m hurdles, Cuba's Dai Long Robles just ran a time of 7.33 seconds in the 60m hurdles just over a month ago. In addition to the world record of 7.30 seconds, it is Robles's 7.33 seconds that ranks second all. My best time was only 7.42 seconds, and the 60m hurdles were 0.09 seconds behind him, so the pressure was great! ”

Zhang Huasong was taken aback and said, "That's really a powerful opponent!" ”

Liu Xiang nodded and said, "Yes!" However, Robles is only 21 years old and doesn't have a lot of tournament experience, so if he doesn't play properly, I still have a chance. ”

Zhang Huasong said: "Well, just play well, whether you can win the gold medal or not depends on the will of God!" ”

Liu Xiang nodded, and then also cared about Zhang Huasong's several projects, and wished Zhang Huasong good results.

After the mobilization meeting, on March 5, the Chinese national track and field team flew to Valencia, Spain.

After getting off the plane, at the exit of the airport, the Chinese delegation was welcomed by hundreds of overseas Chinese. Of course, the name that everyone shouted the most was Liu Xiang, followed by Zhang Huasong.

After all, Liu Xiang won the Olympic gold medal, became famous much earlier than Zhang Huasong, and has always been more famous among Chinese than Zhang Huasong.

However, in the eyes of Western foreign media reporters, the focus of the Chinese team this time is Zhang Huasong, not Liu Xiang.

On the one hand, it is because the men's 100-meter world record held by Zhang Huasong is more influential than the 110-meter hurdles in the world, and on the other hand, Zhang Huasong has signed up for five events in this World Championships and has become the athlete with the most participation in this World Championships.

And, apart from a third-place finish at the 400m IAAF Grand Prix in Melbourne, Zhang Huasong has yet to compete in several other events.

Therefore, Western media reporters are more curious about what Zhang Huasong can achieve in this World Championships.

Judging from the schedule, Zhang Huasong participated in some events that were very close to each other, and there was almost no time to rest and recover his strength.

If they affect each other, and Zhang Huasong's fame participates in five events but can't even win a medal in the end, it will be a joke.

That is, the typical human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the cleverness is mistaken by the cleverness.

Zhang Huasong is naturally sure, at least in the high jump, it is impossible not to win a medal.

Therefore, Zhang Huasong confidently answered the reporters' questions, saying that he was in good shape, and he would win at least one medal in five events.

Moreover, when answering a question from a Spanish reporter, Zhang Huasong also burst out a paragraph in Spanish.

This time, it immediately caused a sensation on the scene.

After answering questions from German journalists in German at the IAAF year-end finals, Zhang Huasong once again showed his language talent, answering questions from Spanish reporters at the World Indoor Championships in Spain.

Zhang Huasong's foreign languages are English, Japanese, German, and Spanish. Together with his native language, Zhang Huasong already knows five languages.

Hearing that Zhang Huasong could speak Spanish, the Spanish reporters were quite excited, and their good impression of Zhang Huasong increased, and the questions they asked were much gentler, and finally wished Zhang Huasong good results, and they would call on the local Spaniards in Valencia to cheer for Zhang Huasong in the newspapers and on television.

While dealing with reporters, Zhang Huasong also signed with Liu Xiang the fans who picked up the airport, and then rushed to the hotel arranged by the organizer with the team.

On the way, the intricately carved churches, museums and houses along the way made the national team players talk a lot and be quite curious.

The buildings in China are basically boxy reinforced concrete buildings, and there is no such thing as Spain, where basically every house has a different style and is extremely complicated.

It is estimated that the Spaniards are more idle.

In fact, the Spaniards are not only idle, but excessively idle.

If China holds a world competition, the audience will basically enter at 7 o'clock and start at 8 o'clock. The result was in Spain, and the first game of the morning did not start until 11 o'clock.

Because it was too early, the Spaniards hadn't gotten up yet.

Athletics is not the mainstream sport in Spain, and Spaniards still get up so late, Zhang Huasong is a little depressed when he thinks that the stands may be empty and there are few spectators during the competition.

His ultimate goal is to be a superstar in the world, and he is not satisfied with reaching the top in China like Liu Xiang.

Therefore, he hopes that every foreign tournament he participates in will have a large local audience, and his good performance will allow him to gain more popularity in different countries and help him move up the international star popularity list.

"How did Spain apply to host the World Indoor Championships? Didn't the IAAF think about ticket revenue? ”

Zhang Huasong looked at the Spanish building outside the window and thought so.

In the midst of Zhang Huasong's thoughts, the car arrived at a large hotel arranged by the organizers, located next to the Louis Pugue Stadium in Valencia.

The Louis Pugue Indoor Stadium is the venue for the World Indoor Championships in Valencia.

On the same day, when the Spanish media reported the news of the arrival of the Chinese team in Valencia, they focused on Zhang Huasong's ability to speak Spanish. And attached Zhang Huasong's photo or interview video, a detailed introduction to Zhang Huasong's identity and participating projects, I hope that the audience will cheer for Zhang Huasong and encourage him at that time.

On many Spanish social media and websites that Zhang Huasong did not know, local citizens of Valencia actively participated in the discussion, looking forward to the early start of the World Indoor Championships, and some people also responded to media reports that the time came to cheer for Zhang Huasong, a Spanish-speaking world flyer, and the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.

In fact, athletics is not a popular sport in Spain though. But Spaniards are really more laid-back and have a passion for all sports.

The World Championships hosted by their own country, everyone is still full of enthusiasm for watching the game, and there will be no empty stands that Zhang Huasong is worried about.

It's just that Zhang Huasong, who had just stayed in the hotel with the team at this time, didn't know it yet.
