……

With the end of the Asian Championships, the focus of track and field events in China has gradually shifted to the Modu Golden Grand Prix on September 17. Various pre-match reports and news of the arrival of the players in the magic capital began to occupy one page after another.

Puff footsteps rang out on the runway.

Inside the empty stadium, the lights are on.

After a 400-meter run, Su Zu took a few breaths, walked back and forth on the runway for a while, jumped on the runway from time to time, and observed the position of the edge of the runway.

Next to the runway, Li Zhizhong was talking with several men in leather shoes, and only after seeing Su Zu finish running, he greeted him.

"How does the runway feel?"

"No problem, very adaptable."

Su Zu ran a lap, and the color of the plastic track that had just been paved was particularly bright, and the feeling of running was also very good.

"That's fine, let's go. The stadium hasn't been accepted yet, and you're pretty much there. ”

Li Zhizhong nodded, threw Su Zu's coat and trousers to him, and prepared to leave.

Su Zu is now in the 80,000-person stadium in the magic capital, and in order to prepare for the Grand Prix, the entire stadium's track, lawn and other equipment have been renovated.

The stadium is still closed and will not open until September 14, when it will be available for athletes to develop habilitation.

Su Zu was invited by the organizing committee to "check" and feel it in advance today, in fact, there is nothing special, it is a small benefit of home advantage, and it is officially necessary to start adaptive training in the 80,000-person stadium, and it will not be accepted by the IAAF staff.

"Hi Sue, hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Hermens."

After Su Zu put on his coat, a white man in athleisure leather shoes greeted Su Zu with a smile at a ****** next to the runway.

"Sue, I've heard that your English is pretty good." Hermens laughed, "That way we don't have to translate." You're really special, Asians have never achieved anything like this in the 100m, as if the Americans have no place in F1 today. China often wins gold medals in table tennis, diving and other events, but it is very, very difficult to win gold in sprints. You are a very special player, both for China and for the world. ”

Hearing Hermens say this, several organizing committee officials next to him laughed.

"Mr. Hermens, your compliment is too much." Li Zhizhong said with a smile on the side.

"No, no, no, Lee." Hermens waved his hand, "I know you Chinese are more modest, but this is the truth. Sue is now a track and field superstar, a sports star on par with Bekele, Isinbayeva and Gatlin. As he spoke, he said to Su Zu, "Su, you should join your 'Superstar Club'. ”

"I will." Su Zu smiled.

The "Superstar Club" he had heard Gatling mention once before, but it was a small circle of track and field stars who had a close personal relationship, often drinking coffee together and meeting to participate in competitions. In the eyes of outsiders, it gradually evolved into a superstar club.

The advantage of this superstar club is that many high-level athletes have communicated before participating in competitions, and some competitions can form a topic of strong confrontation, and they can get a high enough appearance fee from the organizers. After all, many track and field athletes in the West are "self-reliant", and many businesses and competitions are decided and chosen by themselves.

"The city of Magic is really amazing, and the work of your venue has greatly exceeded our expectations. The players who came back to compete, whether it was as a warm-up for the 08 Olympic Games, came to understand China in advance, or for gold panning and earning prize money for the Grand Prix, they had to open their eyes. Of course, Sue, you have to come on, and don't let our golden dragon be snatched away by Gatling or Green. ”

Hermens is humorous and hilarious, and he doesn't shy away from saying that many of the players compete in the Grand Prix to pan for gold. He is the race director of the Magic City Golden Grand Prix, it turns out that he was once the world record setter in the 10,000 meters, worked as a coach for 5 years after retiring, and then worked as an agent and event organizer for more than 20 years, he is not only the agent of famous athletes such as Bekele, but also the president of GSC, one of the world's largest track and field management companies.

In fact, this is also the case, the Golden Grand Prix of the Magic City is the highest-level track and field competition ever held in China, although the organizers did not disclose the specific appearance fee and bonuses, but in order to attract all kinds of track and field stars to participate in the competition in the Magic City, it is definitely a lot of money.

In the gold medal of the champion, the organizer changed the tradition of awarding trophies and medals in previous events, and specially found a jewelry sponsor of a certain brand to create 14 pure gold dragons for the champions of all 14 events, and the market price of a golden dragon is about 24,000 yuan. In addition, in order to encourage the contestants to perform well in this event, the organizers specially created a "proud" series of 1-carat diamond pendants for the record-breakers, with a value of 108,000 yuan.

That's why Hermens joked that Suzu didn't want to lose the Golden Dragon to Gatling. Many contestants were quite surprised when they learned that the prize was a golden dragon with pure gold.

And when Su Zu ran a few times in advance at the 80,000-person stadium to "help" the organizing committee to do the pre-acceptance inspection work, he didn't know that there was another piece of news that pushed him to the forefront.

……

At the press conference of the National Tennis Center, a group of Chinese and foreign reporters sat in the press booth and looked at each other.

On September 10, the China Open tennis tournament ushered in its second edition. Compared with the first China Open, the second tournament is still full of lineups, with Nadal, Safin, Moya, Nalbandian, and Coria in men's tennis, and the Williams sisters and Sharapova in women's tennis all coming to the imperial capital to compete.

They are now present at a press conference about the top seed Maria Sharapova, who just finished today.

And just now, the reporters attending the meeting got the news that the press conference was postponed for the second time, and the reason was even more surprising, the eldest lady was going to do a relaxing run after the game, and the press conference was postponed.

"What the hell is a relaxing run?"

"It's too big!"

"What's the way to do that, people are now ranked No. 1 in the world."

"Understand, people are superstars, what can you do?!"

"Hehe, don't say it, the shouts of that game are still quite ecstatic."

There was a whisper of discussion in the press gallery, although everyone was a little dissatisfied with the two consecutive postponements of the press conference, but they could only complain to each other, but no one left early.

In the match just now, Sharapova defeated Israel's Peel, although the match played for more than two hours, her performance was not perfect, but as the current women's world No. 1, as long as she is willing to attend the press conference, naturally no matter how long, there will be media people willing to wait.

Time passed minute by minute, from the original 5 p.m. to 5:35 p.m., Sharapova, accompanied by several assistant staff members, appeared at the press conference with a blank face.

"Maria, what do you think of your performance in the game?" A reporter asked.

"I won." Sharapova replied coldly.

Looking at Sharapova's answer and expression, some reporters present who had been waiting for more than an hour to enter the press conference in advance were dissatisfied, "Maria, are you going to relax and run after every race?" ”

The implication is that you're hanging so many reporters here because of a relaxing run.

And Sharapova just glanced at each other faintly and replied with one word: "Everytime." ”

When the reporters present saw this expression and the answer that cherished the words like gold, many people and many reporters really couldn't stand this attitude.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Didn't you claim that you liked Mona Lisa's Smile?" Why didn't you have a happy look on your face when you won the contest today? Don't you like to laugh? ”

Sharapova's face was still cold, "I like to laugh, and I will laugh too." But as if it were a law, everyone would ask me questions like this all the time. ”

One reporter after another got up to ask questions, but Sharapova remained expressionless, and basically every question was dismissed with one or two words.

Until a domestic reporter got up and suddenly asked, "Do you have any Chinese athletes you admire?" ”

Sharapova was stunned for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on her face that froze the entire press conference, "Of course, Sue, I like Sue very much." We've trained together before and we're on a good relationship. If I could, I would go to watch him play and ask him to be my tour guide in China. ”

The reporters present suddenly exploded, damn it, when did this happen?

When did Suzu get involved with Sharapova? I've never heard of it.

Although many people think that it may be polite words, after all, Su Zu is now popular, but with Sharapova's attitude and smile, the next day's headlines are there!
