Chapter 114: Racial Differences
On June 19, Yi Dun and other participating student athletes only rested for one night, and the opening ceremony of the World Universiade officially began the next day.
Generally speaking, if you have enough funds and go to the competition city, you must first let the athletes rest for a few days, and find a venue to train to maintain their competitive condition.
You can stay in a hotel for a few more days and find a venue, it will definitely cost a lot of money, and the World Universiade is not a competition that you attach too much importance to, so everything is simple.
Yi Dun didn't care too much, his stamina was extremely abundant, even if he got off the plane and went to the competition immediately, the impact on his results was not too great.
……
Bangkok still attaches great importance to this World Universiade, and the opening ceremony is very lively, singing and dancing.
At present, the temperature in Bangkok has reached more than 30 degrees, and the little girls at the opening ceremony are dressed very coolly, which is a feast for the eyes of gay men.
Of course, it's hard to say whether this is a girl or not.
Everyone has a love for beauty, Yi Dun and the classmates who participated in the billiards game, the two looked at each other with relish, guessing whether the girl who came over was a man or a woman, and laughed like a pig from time to time.
The opening ceremony ended, and the next day the competition officially began.
The first game in the morning was directly the shot put event of Eden.
Yi Dun is also used to it, anyway, the opening event of many games is shot put, and I don't know what the hell it is.
This time, only Yi Dun was a Chinese participant, and there was no old guy around to chat, which made Yi Dun a little bored.
There are not many contestants, about twenty people, Yi Dun took a closer look around and found that most of the contestants were Caucasian.
There is only one black person, and if you are a yellow person, there are three of them if you count Yi Dun.
The shot put event is arguably one of the most representative of racial differences.
Blacks have good dynamic strength, Caucasian people have strong static strength, and yellow people are good at dexterity and agility.
The most important thing in the shot put event is that the athlete's static strength is good enough, so generally the strongest in this event are Caucasian.
It's not just the shot put, but also the four major throwing events and weightlifting events, where Caucasians tend to be more dominant.
The naturally large skeleton can withstand more and higher strength muscle fiber cross-bridges, and the natural strength is strong.
In this regard, black people are not good, black people are really explosive, but their static strength is poor, and they are not as good as yellow people, so black people often do not have an advantage in throwing events and weightlifting events.
Blacks are better at explosiveness, such as sprinting.
As for the yellow race, they are good at dexterity and sensitivity, not to mention anything else, just table tennis, this thing looks at dexterity and sensitivity, and the yellow race is definitely beating the black and white race.
That's the racial difference.
Some people may disagree with this claim of racial differences, after all, there are examples that can prove the error of the theory of racial differences.
For example, Liu Xiang outperformed blacks in sprinting, and for example, there were blacks who could do well in shot put or weightlifting.
Such evidence is actually unconvincing, and exceptions are exceptions after all, and do not represent universality.
Regardless of the race, it is a population base of more than one billion, and it is quite normal for such a large base to have some outliers, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there are no differences between races.
To take the simplest example, the statement that man is an animal cannot be faulted.
Dogs are also animals, and dogs are also divided into different breeds, is there no difference between Erha and Teddy?
The current number of participants in the shot put competition proves the claim of racial differences.
Yi Dun naturally didn't know what the racial differences were, he only knew that he had to hurry up and beat everything in this game, strive for the last throw or the last two throws to apply for exemption, and save his physical energy to participate in the 5,000-meter race.
……
After the check-in, the next step is the lottery.
Yi Dun's face turned green, and he actually drew the No. 4 lottery again.
It's just one or two times, and now almost every draw is drawn to the No. 4 lot, which makes Yi Dun cry and laugh.
The position of the No. 4 sign is actually not particularly good, mainly because the position is too high, and the really comfortable position should be in the middle position.
But today, because Yi Dun has a 5,000-meter race next, this No. 4 pick is also just right, finish early, and rest early.
……
The black player who was a lone seedling happened to draw the No. 1 lot, and after going up, he directly threw a score of 16.7 meters.
Yi Dun pursed his lips, and he didn't know which country selected college athletes, and such results actually came to the competition.
However, the weaker the opponent, the happier Yi Dun naturally was, and the easier it was for him to win.
The next two white players, whose strength is not bad, both threw close to 18 meters.
College students are generally about 20 years old, which is far from reaching the peak of shot put strength, in fact, being able to throw 18 meters is already a good result.
Not everyone is as talented as Gong Lijiao, and not everyone is as open as Yi Dun.
Next, it's Yi Dun's turn to play, Yi Dun is ready to make this first throw directly to a big one, and it is best to win or lose with one shot!
Yi Dun riveted his strength, shouted wildly, and shot the lead ball.
Moments later, the measurements were in!
20.11m, a pretty good play!
Although he failed to reach the personal limit of 20.18 meters, this 20.11 meters can definitely beat the whole field.
After the next three players finished throwing, the results were all at the level of seventeen or eighteen meters, which naturally cannot be said to be too bad, but compared to Yi Dun, it must be completely incomparable.
Yi Dun can now be said to be the first person in Asian men's shot put, and participating in this kind of college competition is completely abusing vegetables.
The eighth one to appear next was an Indian, and the reason why Eden knew that it was an Indian was mainly because he saw the curry flag logo on his tracksuit.
The players who finished voting before, although Yi Dun also saw the national flag logo, but he couldn't recognize it.
Yi Dun felt that it was necessary for him to study geography, and first recognize the flags of various countries.
The Indian said he was white, so the Indian was not one of the three yellow people in the competition.
Yi Dun actually couldn't figure out where this Indian was white......
The Indian threw 19.28m, which was the best time in the field except for Eden.
Some of these contestants know Yi Dun, after all, Yi Dun just broke the Asian Championships record last month, and if you pay attention to the shot put circle, it is impossible not to know about it.
Therefore, Yi Dun's 20.11-meter throw just now did not shock these competitors too much.
After all, the Asian records have been broken, and throwing 20.11 meters is nothing.
The rest of the runners threw themselves one by one, and as a result, there was not even a single player who broke the 19-meter mark.
The situation of the game is already quite clear, even if Yi Dun applies for exemption in the next five trial throws, he will definitely not be able to run away from the World Universiade shot put champion.
