Chapter 107: Arrival in Amman, Jordan
Originally, Yi Dun was still envious of Gong Lijiao to participate in the Osaka Track and Field World Championships, thinking that if he won the Asian Championships, he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to participate in the World Championships.
It doesn't mean that if you win the Asian Championships, you will definitely be able to participate in the World Championships, and there is no Continental Championship champion in the direct quota standard for the World Championships.
In other words, even if Eden wins the Asian Championships, if his results do not meet the standard results of the World Championships, he will not be able to participate in the World Championships.
Now Eden is not thinking about the World Championships in Osaka at all, and he has no interest in the World Championships at all.
Although the World Championships are of high standard, it is also more difficult to win the championship, and it is no exaggeration to say that if Yi Dun's current strength is to participate in the World Championships shot put event, it will be thankful that he can enter the top five.
It is very likely that he will not even be able to enter the top five, which is the current gap between the Asian shot put and the world's top one.
Unable to win the championship means that Yi Dun cannot get attribute points, and the only meaning of this game for Yi Dun is to absorb some game experience and show his face, and there is no other gain.
And the World Universiade is completely different, everyone is a young athlete, Yi Dun still has a good chance to win the championship, the key to the qualification of the World Universiade, Yi Dun doesn't have to ask his grandfather to tell his grandmother at all, Luo Jianjun can easily help him get it.
Even Eden may have the opportunity to participate in several events, unlike the Asian Championships, which can only participate in the shot put event.
5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, shot put and javelin, if all four events are won by Yiden, how many attribute points will be counted?!
It's exciting to think about it, with so many attribute points coming in, Yi Dun can be said to have taken off completely.
At that time, Yi Dun will definitely become the brightest new star in the Chinese track and field circle!
Thinking of this, Yi Dundu trembled a little with excitement.
If you are still thinking about the Osaka World Championships, hurry up and contact Luo Jianjun to sign up for the World Universiade!
After Yi Dun had dinner that night, he contacted Luo Jianjun.
In addition to the sports bureau, the sports school federation also has a quota for the World Universiade, and Songyang Sports School sent Yi Dun to participate, which was a breeze.
Luo Jianjun naturally agreed, originally he thought that Yi Dun might die directly after the Asian Championships, so he didn't mention this stubble to Yi Dun.
After all, the World Universiade and the World Championships, the attention of these two events is not the same thing at all.
If the World Championships are regarded as the Provincial Games, the World Universiade is at best the specification of the Provincial Collegiate Athletics Championships.
If Yi Dun participates in the World Universiade, it is actually good for Luo Jianjun and Songyang Sports School.
After all, this is a college event, and Songyang Sports School, as a college institution, will naturally show its face in the circle if students can win gold medals.
However, Luo Jianjun also knew that the World Universiade and the World Championships could not be compared in terms of specifications, so he did not force Yi Dun.
Now Yi Dun took the initiative to participate in the competition, Luo Jianjun couldn't ask for it, so he agreed without saying a word, and definitely helped Yi Dun arrange it properly.
……
At 8 o'clock the next morning, 27 athletes, plus more than a dozen coaches and team leaders, boarded the plane to Amman, the capital of Jordan.
Everyone is in economy class......
This is the first time in his life that Yi Dun went abroad, although it is not a tourist resort, but Yi Dun is still a little excited.
The country of Jordan, in fact, in the impression of Eden, this country seems to be full of artillery fire.
It is bordered by Syria to the north, Iraq to the east, and Israel to the west......
When I heard the name of this brother's country, the first thing that came to my mind was war.
What is surprising is that since Jordan fought the fourth Middle East war in the 70s of the last century, the country has been at peace, and it has not been moved by the fact that the three neighbors around it are fighting in full swing.
If Jordan is not peaceful at the moment, it will definitely not be able to host the Asian Championships.
After arriving in the capital, Amman, the group stayed in a hotel provided by the host.
The accommodation environment is not bad, and the average athlete is all masters who can endure hardships, even if the environment is poor, no one must complain.
Originally, Yi Dun also wanted to go out of the hotel to see this exotic style, but the team leader ordered everyone not to go out at will to prevent accidents, and Yi Dun naturally could only be bored in the hotel.
Zhang Meng is the player who participated in the men's shot put with Yi Dun this time, and he is still in the same room as Yi Dun.
When he was bored, Yi Dun called out to another female shot putter, and the three of them fought the landlord.
……
In this Asian Championships, 27 athletes from the Chinese team signed up for 22 events, which is about half of the total events.
Several of the events, such as the men's shot put, were contested by two players, while the others were all contested by one person.
On the fourth day of the Asian Championships, the women's shot put competition began, and the female shot put did not do a good job, finishing sixth.
What Yi Dun didn't expect at all was that this Asian Championship also had a bonus.
And there are still prizes from one to eight, but the prize money for the eighth place is definitely far less than the first place.
Eden knows that there are prize money in the World Championships, and there are quite a few, such as the next World Championships in Osaka, where a total of 6 million US dollars has been set up.
Based on the calculation of 43 track and field events, each event can be allocated about 100,000 US dollars.
The first place is 40,000 US dollars, the second place is 20,000 dollars, the third place is 10,000 dollars, and there are fewer and fewer behind.
If you can break the event record, you can also have an extra $50,000 in money.
This is the prize money standard of the World Championships, and the Asian Championships are naturally much lower.
But even so, if you can get the first place, you will have a $10,000 income.
If the event record can be broken, it will be even more powerful, with an additional $15,000 in prize money.
10,000 US dollars is close to 80,000 yuan, which is not a small number, Yi Dun still remembers the joy of getting the 10,000 US dollars prize when he ran a marathon before.
At present, the commendation meeting of the Provincial Games has not yet started, and Yi Dun has not gotten the money, so I don't know how much I can get.
Now the 80,000 yuan of the Asian Championships is a real cash-out, provided that Yi Dun can win the men's shot put.
If you win it, you will earn 80,000 yuan immediately, and if you break the men's shot put record in the Asian Championships, Yi Dun will make a net profit of 200,000 yuan!
Counting the prize money of the Provincial Games, as well as some of his own savings, it is almost enough to buy a small apartment in Songyang City.
……
On the fifth day of the Asian Championships, it was finally the turn of the men's shot put competition, and Yi Dun was already hungry and thirsty.
There is still more than half an hour before the game, and Li Meisu is mobilizing Yi Dun and Zhang Meng before the game.
"You're both competing at the continental level for the first time, so don't be nervous."
"The opponent is not as strong as you think."
"Zhang Meng, as long as you play steadily, it is not a problem to reach the top five, and even the top three have a great possibility."
"As for you Yi Dun, if you play normally, let alone win the championship, it is not impossible to break the event record, and your strength is not too much to crush the whole of Asia now."
"Don't give yourself too much psychological burden, don't think about anything to win glory for the country, this level of competition is not considered to win glory for the country, don't you pay much attention to this Asian Championship?"
"So try to relax as much as possible, it's like a practice match." Li Meisu tried her best to appease the mentality of the two.
