Chapter 292: Half an Alien?
In the afternoon, the Chinese track and field team gathered and embarked on the road home.
This time at the World Championships in Berlin, it was definitely a big victory, winning 11 gold medals, squeezing out the hegemony of American track and field, which is enough to go down in the history of Chinese sports.
Even those who didn't win a medal were honored and full of smiles.
At this moment, they are proud of their status as members of the Chinese national track and field team.
It is true that although the number of gold medals and the medal table in this World Championships are ranked first, the number of medals is a little small, and many young players are not outstanding.
But they firmly believe that under the leadership of Yi Dun, the future of Chinese track and field will be better and stronger!
……
On the plane, Gong Lijiao sat in her seat, her eyes glazed and her expression was very depressed.
Everyone also knows that the reason for Gong Lijiao's frustration is nothing more than the poor performance of this World Championships.
Gong Lijiao is a very important track and field gold point, but Gong Lijiao failed to win the championship at the Beijing Olympics and the Berlin World Championships, which naturally made her depressed.
For other players, it may be said that she has no regrets in her career, but for a player like Gong Lijiao, who has high hopes, the bronze medal means defeat for her.
Yi Dun originally had the heart to comfort him, but he was pulled by Liu Xiang beside him.
"Don't go, let her be quiet for a while."
"Athletes will inevitably encounter such things, they all say that failure is the mother of success, which is actually true, now Gong Lijiao is experiencing failure, I hope she can accumulate experience in failure."
Yi Dun nodded, what Liu Xiang said was not unreasonable.
However, Yi Dun has no understanding of this, because since he stepped into this circle, Yi Dun has never tried to fail.
Even if several events failed to win gold in the previous Beijing Olympics, it is actually a success to help these events achieve zero breakthroughs.
At least no one would think that Yi Dun had failed at that time, not even Yi Dun himself.
……
The long journey did not make the team feel tired, because they knew very well that what awaited them after returning home would be the cheers of the Chinese people.
The plane landed at the capital airport, and before everyone got off the plane, several flight attendants walked over to Yi Dun with a smile and sent a greeting card.
The greeting card was full of the crew's congratulations to Yi Dun, and of course, Liu Xiang and other medalists also received greeting cards.
As for those who failed to win medals, it is naturally not appropriate to send greeting cards.
No one has won a medal, so if you go to say goodbye, wouldn't it be a stumbling person.
Yi Dun hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and there was nothing on his body to give back to others, so he simply took a group photo one by one, and then signed for everyone to make a souvenir.
……
After getting off the plane, all the leaders of the track and field center were looking forward to the triumph of the track and field athletes.
When he saw Liu Xiang walking out with a group of athletes, Director Xu immediately greeted him with a laugh.
"Good, you're all good."
"This time our track and field center has a big face!" Director Xu said loudly and heroically.
Before the rise of Yiden, the Chinese track and field center was actually miserable......
Even if Liu Xiang rises, the gold medals won by Chinese track and field are pitiful, and compared with other sports centers, they are completely miserable and have no friends.
But now it's different, the World Championships are ranked first in the medal table, and the track and field center can finally raise their eyebrows.
"Edon!"
"Come here, let me take a good look."
"What about the gold medal? I see what you're doing, let me see the gold medal. After seeing Yi Dun, Director Xu smiled on his face.
After Yi Dun took out the nine gold medals from the backpack he was carrying, Director Xu's eyes instantly turned red.
"It's worth it! It's worth it in this life! ”
"I've never seen so many gold medals in track and field competitions in my life, it's really worth it!"
Others are also embarrassed, if they don't see it with their own eyes, who would dare to believe it?
In the last World Championships, there was only 1 gold medal, but this time it was 11, which is a huge improvement.
"Put it away, these nine gold medals can be said to be priceless."
"Everyone is doing well, Liu Xiang, congratulations on returning to the top and winning the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles again!"
"Bai Xue, you little girl really gave me a huge surprise, this gold medal is so precious." Director Xu smiled at Bai Xue.
Bai Xue's women's marathon gold medal is a real surprise.
No one expected that China won the gold medal in the men's and women's marathons, and Yi Dun swept the gold medal in the middle and long-distance running events, which is equivalent to saying that China directly beat East African countries and became the strongest country in the world in long-distance running.
In the past, even the United States could only watch East African countries dominate the medals in these middle-distance running events, who would have thought that China would directly sit on this throne.
Bai Xue is not very old, and she is at a loss when she is praised by Director Xu at the moment.
In fact, before the competition, she didn't expect to win this gold medal, and now the only thing she wants is to hurry back to her hometown in the northeast to see her parents and make them happy.
Don't underestimate this World Championships gold medal, after Bai Xue returns to her hometown in the Northeast, what awaits her will be hundreds of thousands of bonuses and a house.
For big money-absorbers like Yi Dun and Liu Xiang, this bonus is naturally nothing, but for Bai Xue, whose hometown is in the countryside of Northeast China, it is enough to change the trajectory of his life.
"You've all worked hard, and this time everyone has made a great contribution."
"The celebration banquet has been arranged, let's hurry back and celebrate."
Director Xu waved his hand and returned to the training base with a group of athletes.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this group of athletes are athletes, because their minimum strength must also be national-level athletes, otherwise, they will not be eligible to be selected for the national team.
……
On the bus back, Director Xu sat next to Yi Dun and played with Yi Dun's nine gold medals.
"Director Xu, if you like it, I'll give you a few." Yi Dun said in a low voice with a smile.
These words directly startled Director Xu, and he couldn't wait to jump up and give Yi Dun a look.
"You kid is a loser, is this thing a random gift, how many pieces do you give?"
"Every gold medal is precious, even if you win 100 gold medals in the Olympics and World Championships in the future, you must not care so much about gold medals, because this is the goal of all athletes throughout their lives."
"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you have to have at least fifty gold medals now, right?" Director Xu asked curiously.
Yi Dun nodded, he has participated in many Grand Prix competitions this year and won many gold medals.
Now the number of gold medals is 59, and there are three silver and bronze medals, for a total of 62 medals......
Counting the nine gold medals this time, the medals in Yi Dun's hand have already broken seventy.
It is estimated that it is not far from breaking 100!
"What's that? You've won so many gold medals? What a monster! When Director Xu heard that Yi Dun had won 68 gold medals, he couldn't help crying and laughing.
Although there are some gold medals in the City Games or Provincial Games, the gold content is relatively low, but the number of gold medals is too scary.
Moreover, two-thirds of the 68 gold medals must be won in international competitions, and the gold content is still good.
Among them, there are a total of 11 gold medals in the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and the gold content is not to mention.
If an athlete can win more than 10 gold medals in the Olympic and World Championships in his entire career, he is a god-level existence.
In the entire history of human sports, there are less than ten such people.
But now Yi Dun has only one Olympic Games and one World Championships, and he has joined the ranks of these god athletes, which really shocked Director Xu speechless.
Now Eden has just turned 21 years old, and three years later, at the London Olympics, Eden will be 24 years old.
Some old demon athletes' careers can grow to nearly forty years old, such as the domestic javelin thrower Li Rongxiang, whose career life span is extremely long.
Even if Yi Dun's career can't live to this point, if Director Xu thinks about it, there should be no accident when he is thirty-five or sixteen years old.
This means that after participating in the London Olympics, Eden may be able to participate in three more Olympic Games.
In addition to the four Olympic Games, Eden can also participate in seven or eight World Championships.
If he can win nine gold medals every year, Eden will win more than 100 gold medals in the Olympics and World Championships!
Director Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, if Yi Dun could win so many gold medals, it would be really too monster.
Even Director Xu suddenly remembered that he hadn't counted the weightlifting gold medal yet, and with Yi Dun's weightlifting strength, he is now an invincible existence in the world.
"Yi Dun, seriously, if I hadn't witnessed your growth from the beginning, I really doubt that you were an alien who came to Earth."
"I have been engaged in the track and field industry for twenty or thirty years now, not to mention China, even if you look at the world, there is absolutely no athlete like you who cannot be described in words."
Yi Dun was a little embarrassed to be praised, and people always said that he was an alien.
It's okay to think about it carefully, isn't it just that I'm possessed by alien black technology?
Half-alien, right?
……
After arriving at the training base, as Director Xu said, the celebration banquet has been arranged.
After the leaders finished speaking, everyone asked Yi Dun to go up and say a few words.
Yi Dun is now experienced in this kind of public speech, and he used to show timidity, but now he is down-to-earth and generous, and his passionate speech after taking the stage has attracted loud applause from everyone.
The last time the celebration banquet of the track and field center was at the end of the Olympic Games, when Yi Dun once let go of the big words, saying that he would make do with it in the next Olympic Games and directly win ten gold medals.
At the time, everyone thought it was a joke, but now no one thinks so.
In this World Championships, Yi Dun won nine gold medals, counting weightlifting and another one, if this is the Olympic Games, Yi Dun really won ten gold medals!
