There are four or five thousand people participating in the event, and if you look at the number alone, it is an absolute bluff.

However, there are not many high-level athletes, and more than half of them are mass group athletes and athletes from various sports associations.

Like the team sent by Songyang this time, it can really be regarded as high-level athletes, and I am afraid that it can be counted with one slap.

Other cities may be doing better than Songyang, but with the exception of Jibei, the provincial capital, and Qinglian, the largest city in Dongshan, there are not many athletes in other cities.

People go to high places, water flows to low places, and who doesn't want to drill into big cities can at least get more opportunities.

……

The day before the opening ceremony, Yi Dun got the schedule of the Provincial Games.

After reading the schedule, Yi Dun had a strange face.

The three events he participated in this time, namely 10,000 meters, shot put and javelin, were all track and field events.

The track and field events of the Provincial Games this time are all arranged relatively high, and all three events are arranged in the previous week's schedule.

In other words, after Yi Dunbi finished his three projects, he would be fine in the next ten days.

"Good guy, can't I wait for the competition to finish, and I still have to stay here for ten days?" Yi Dun thought unhappily.

Generally speaking, the multi-sport games will arrange track and field events in the front, for example, many Olympic Games are arranged in this way, and the National Games are generally the same.

Now the Dongshan Provincial Games is estimated to be official, so the schedule is as close as possible to high-end events.

April 18 is the opening ceremony, and the first event that Eden will participate in is the 10,000-meter run, which will be the first day after the opening ceremony, that is, April 19.

April 23 is the shot put event and April 25 is the javelin event.

Such a schedule seems to be relatively tight, but Yi Dun is quite satisfied.

Fortunately, there are no two projects scheduled for one day.

There is no such thing as two projects scheduled for the same day and the same time period.

However, it is unlikely that this situation will happen, and if there is a conflict with the schedule when you register, they will definitely not sign you up.

……

Although the time is a little tighter, but such a schedule, in fact, Yi Dun feels that it is quite beneficial to himself.

The 10,000-meter meter can be said to be his strongest event today.

Before Yidun had run a proud record of 28 minutes and 37 seconds in the Municipal Games, such a result in the Provincial Games can almost be said to be 100% of the championship.

Even if the performance is almost this time, running for an extra four or five seconds, there must be no long-distance runner in Dongshan Province who can compete with Yi Dun.

Of course, this is not very accurate, to be precise, there is no male long-distance runner who can compete with Eden.

There are still big hands in the women's long-distance running event in Dongshan Province, but this big hand is now in a semi-retired state due to injury, and he did not participate in this provincial games.

This big man's name is Xing Huina, the 10,000-meter long-distance running champion at the 04 Athens Olympics.

Her gold medal is actually quite difficult to win, and the gold content is incomparably high.

In the last 100,000 meters of the sprint, Xing Huina faced the encirclement and interception of three Ethiopian female athletes, and finally broke through and won the gold medal, which was somewhat similar to the City Games that Yi Dun participated in.

It's just that the gold content of the Olympic Games that Xing Huina participated in is dozens of times and hundreds of times higher than that of Yidun's City Games.

Xing Huina's career trajectory belongs to the extremely standard system athlete.

At the age of 12, he entered Weifang Sports School, at the age of 15, he entered the Dongshan Provincial Institute of Sports Technology, at the age of 19, he entered the national team in one step, and at the age of 21, he won the gold medal at the Athens Olympics.

This should be regarded as the highlight moment of Dongshan Province in the long-distance running event a few years ago, but unfortunately, now Xing Huina's injury has worsened, and she has been recuperating for a long time and has not been able to continue to be selected for the national team.

Compared with Xing Huina's career trajectory, Yi Dun is nineteen years old this year, let alone entering the national team, he is still dangling in Songyang City, and the gap is not ordinarily big.

At 2:40 p.m. on April 19, Eden was ready to appear on the sidelines, and the competition time of the 10,000-meter event was 3 o'clock.

"Yi Dun, the strength of the players in the Provincial Games is much stronger than the Municipal Games or the college championships you participated in before."

"Be flexible when you race, you don't have to be in the lead, the wind is a bit headwindy today, and your physique will be more resistant in a headwind environment, and it's very likely that people will hide behind you and use your body to avoid the wind." Ma Shanyong told Yi Dun again before the game.

A big guy like Eden is a top-notch wind shield in a long-distance race, and other runners can save a lot of energy by running after him.

In the 10,000-meter race that Yi Dun participated in before, because the strength of the players was too weak, no one could keep up with Yi Dun's footsteps, so no one could use Yi Dun as a wind shield.

Now it's different, there are many masters of the Provincial Games, and if Yi Dun leads today, it will inevitably become the opponent's wind shield.

"Don't worry, old horse, I'm not a fool, I'll adjust the position according to the situation." Yi Dun said to Ma Shanyong relaxedly.

Some of the contestants in this competition already knew each other.

For example, Yu Huatian of the provincial middle-distance running team, Yi Dun is also an old acquaintance with them.

Although these people have not run 10,000 meters with Yi Dun, they have run a marathon, and Yi Dun knows their strength.

It is unlikely to be his opponent, as long as he can play normally, this championship will definitely be in his hands.

"Go ahead, let's start checking in, take it easy, not counting the provincial college athletics championships, this is your first time participating in a provincial competition, you don't need to have too much psychological burden, even if you don't win the championship, it's okay, anyway, we have more opportunities." Ma Shanyong patted Yi Dun's shoulder and said with a smile.

……

After a series of processes such as athlete check-in, Yi Dun and other 24 contestants walked on the starting line.

Among them, there are five members of the provincial track and field team, and most of them know Yidun.

"Yi Dun, I knew I would meet you kid at 10,000 meters." Yu Huatian greeted Yi Dun with a smile.

"Brother Yu, your provincial track and field team is a legion battle this time." Yi Dun also greeted with a smile.

"Don't think about it, you kid, our provincial track and field team still has a bottom line, and it is impossible to have the same situation as your City Games."

The provincial track and field team, as the strongest track and field force in a province, is still quite self-conscious, and it is impossible to stumble on local athletes.

"All in place......" the starter shouted, and many of the participating athletes made a starting position.

"I've seen the truth, Yi Dun." Yu Huatian was not far from Yi Dun's track, and whispered to Yi Dun.

"Okay, see the real chapter under your hands!"

……

"Bang!" The starting gun sounded, and more than 20 athletes began to run wildly.
