Not only is there a large number of spectators, but there are also an astonishing number of reporters who came to the scene today.

The number of reporters is much higher than the number of reporters in the national track and field championships that Eden participated in before.

"Are all these journalists Czech?" Yi Dun asked Reddick beside him curiously.

"No, the total population of the Czech Republic is less than 10 million, how can there be so many journalists."

"Most of these journalists are from various European countries and are just waiting to cover the invitational." Reddick explained.

"Seriously, we didn't expect this invitational tournament to attract so much attention, I remember the previous European Championships in athletics, and the number of reporters present was not so large." Reddick said again.

This is also a subtle reminder of how special this game is.

It is indeed extremely special, although it is not an IAAF-sanctioned event, but because of the rhythm of various Western media, the attention that this race has received is completely comparable to the World Championships.

"You've made a lot of money, right?" Eden asked Reddick with a smile.

Reddick nodded, "I really didn't expect it, we were going to spend money to correct your name, but I didn't expect to make a sum of money instead, and today we collected nearly two million euros for admission tickets alone." ”

"Aside from the bonus payout, we did make a small profit."

Yi Dun was speechless, to say that it is really easy for this big company to make money, no wonder they are so willing to spend money.

……

The time came to nine o'clock, and the voice of the on-site commentary invited by Adi had already begun to echo over the stadium.

Eden couldn't understand what was being said, but luckily there was Reddick by his side.

"The main thing is about yesterday's urine test and blood test, and all the contestants passed."

"Then the prize money for this invitational tournament was announced, and the first place was $400,000, the second place was only 100,000 yuan, and the third place was $50,000."

"As for the players who didn't finish in the top three, they didn't have a penny, but they certainly didn't lose money, and we provided room and board and airfare."

"The game will officially start at half past nine, Eden, you can now come on the field to warm up."

"Come on!" Reddick gave Eden a hug and cheered him on.

Eden took a deep breath and strode towards the 100-meter track, where dozens of competitors were already warming up.

That's right, dozens of people......

This time, Adi invited almost all the decathlon athletes from the last Athens Olympics.

In the last Athens Olympic Games, a total of 39 athletes participated in the decathlon competition, and this invitational tournament, Adi invited 35 people, counting Yi Dun, that is 36 people!

These 36 people will compete for the $400,000 prize money in these two days!

Invitational tournaments, Grand Prix competitions organized by the IAAF and the Golden League are the best ways for professional athletes to earn prize money, so no one would refuse such competitions.

Adi provides air tickets and accommodation, as long as there are no injured athletes, all who can come.

Even if you don't win the prize, you can at least gain experience against top masters.

Walking closer, Eden observed the world's top decathlon athletes.

Among them, whites and blacks account for about half of them, and blacks are not very strong in throwing events, but in the decathlon, they are not weak.

Shebuler's previous world record holder was Daley Thompson, a black man of mixed race, who was only half black.

In addition to blacks and whites, Yi Dun also saw several Central Asian or West Asian people, where they were, Yi Dun couldn't tell the difference, anyway, it was either near Kazakhstan or near Jordan.

More than 30 people, not a single East Asian yellow race, Yi Dun's arrival attracted the attention of these contestants.

Nowadays, Eden has a good reputation in the decathlon circle, but it is difficult to say whether this reputation is good or bad.

These contestants have long known that Yi Dun will come to compete, and now that they see Yi Dun, they can't help but look at Yi Dun curiously.

Outwardly, Eden is one of the rarer power players in the decathlon, which makes many of the competitors laugh.

Because according to the trajectory of the modern decathlon, it is still the flexible athlete who has the advantage.

They were already sure in their hearts that Yi Dun definitely did not have the strength to break the 9,000-point mark, and maybe what the media reported was true.

Eden had noticed a few white contestants looking at him playfully, glaring at them with idiotic eyes.

The referee blew the whistle and began to announce the grouping of the first event, the 100m.

The grouping of several sprint events in the decathlon is decided by the referee, and each group will generally be divided into five or more runners, no less than four.

This time, a total of 36 players participated, and the referee directly divided into six groups, each group of six.

Yi Dun was placed in the third group, and what he didn't expect was that Sheble turned out to be in the same group as himself.

This is interesting, Yi Dun wondered if the referee was bad, and deliberately put himself in a group with Shebulle, wanting to see himself make a fool of himself.

After all, this grouping is completely the meaning of the referee alone, and he can divide it as he wants.

"It doesn't matter, let's make you happy for a day today, and tomorrow every time you pass a project, your face will be bitter." Yi Dun thought silently in his heart.

……

Twenty minutes later, the first set of 100 meters had begun.

After the run, Yi Dun showed a wry smile in the corner of his eyes, these world's top players really didn't blow it.

The fastest runner ran a time of 10.54 seconds, which can be said to be a complete beating of Yi Dun.

Of the six runners, the weakest one also ran 10.81 seconds.

Then the second group of players appeared, and Yi Dun calmed down a lot, because he had found a difficult brother.

In the second group, there is a Central Asian athlete, who looks like Yi Dun and is also a power player, and his 100m time is 11.54 seconds......

Yi Dun was suddenly happy, and he thought that he would be the first from the bottom of the 100-meter event, but he didn't expect that someone would put him at the bottom.

The third group, the Eden group, began to appear.

There were only six people in total, and Eden had seen Shabble's photos before, and they were easily recognizable.

Glancing at Shebulle, he found that Shebulle didn't look at himself at all......

Originally, Yi Dun also thought that this Shabblele would provoke him in various ways, and then staged a scene of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

But now Shebulle doesn't want to provoke himself, he doesn't even look at himself, which makes Yi Dun very discouraged, and the scene of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger seems impossible to happen.

"Bang ......" the starting gun sounded.

Six runners rushed out, and after a few moments, Yi Dun "smoothly" fell to the last place.

By the time Schabrielle crossed the line, Eden was still a long way from the finish line.
