Doha International Airport, 10 May 2006.

As soon as Su Zu came out of the domestic flight to Qatar, he felt a heat wave hit.

In May, it may not be very hot in the south, but in Doha, it is already quite hot.

After passing through the corridor at the exit of the cabin, I entered the room, and it was instantly cooled down. The air conditioning in the entire international airport is fully turned on, and it is still a little unexpected.

In the cabin, other people in the same group got off the plane one after another, looking at this very modern international airport, which still made people a little curious. Most of them are coming to the *** country in Southwest Asia for the first time.

Li Zhizhong pulled the suitcase, while whispering to Zhang Pingqiu, Xu Zhikui, Yi Zhen, Jiang Daheng and others to pay attention to the precautions, before coming to Qatar, Lao Li had already communicated with the foreign affairs staff and understood some taboos.

"Su Zu, if there are reporters interviewing these days, don't forget some precautions. Don't respond to politics, the situation in the Middle East, or whatever. ”

"Got it, Master." Su Zu nodded in understanding, after all, there are still many taboos in some countries and regions.

Li Zhizhong then said to the other people next to him: "Everyone should pay attention, don't talk about religious issues in public, and try to avoid it if anyone asks." Don't just talk to local women......"

"They're all wearing black robes and veils, and no one will talk to them."

"That's not enough, Master Jiang, you have to pay attention." Zhang Pingqiu said and pointed at Jiang Daheng.

"Well, why do you say it's on me again."

"Master Jiang, don't talk to strange women these days, be careful, there are religious laws here." Several people joked with a smile.

"You bastards."

"Alright, stop making a fuss. We can also be regarded as exploring the way for this year's Asian Games, understanding the living habits, and seeing what is not suitable for. ”

Li Zhizhong shook his head, and then explained the precautions to the others, and everyone talked all the way towards the exit of the airport.

This is the first time that Su Zu has appeared to participate in the competition since November last year, after half a year of retreat and intensive training at the Haigen training base.

The five events of the IAAF Super Prix are the London Grand Prix, the Doha Grand Prix, the Lausanne Grand Prix, the Monte Carlo Grand Prix and the Stockholm Grand Prix.

And this battle is the Doha Super Grand Prix, also known as the Qatar Athletics Super Grand Prix.

Qatar is a country bordering the Persian Gulf and the world's third largest oil and gas reserves.

In 2017, there was a popular online video on Weibo, that is, the Ka Police Academy invited instructors from the domestic police academy to Qatar to help with training, and the military parade was on the right track.

In the field of competitive sports, it is basically a naturalized country in Asia, and outstanding athletes such as Nigeria and Kenya have been introduced by Qatar in large numbers.

In later generations, the Asian men's 100m and 200m record holders, Ogunod, was originally from Nigeria and later naturalized in Qatar.

Doha has also hosted many major sporting events, such as the 2006 Asian Games, the 2011 Pan-Arab Games and the 2011 Asian Cup

At the exit, the whole team took the consignment salute successively, and passed the customs one by one, and arrived at the pick-up hall, where I saw someone holding a pick-up sign in Chinese and English from a distance.

The two men with mustaches at the head of the group watched several people appear, and the few people holding the pick-up cards also looked excited, and hurriedly walked up, and a stream of curry-flavored English jumped out of their mouths one after another.

"Sue, Sue, welcome. We are the pick-up crew arranged by the organizer, please come with me. ”

Su Zu and Jiang Daheng were stunned for a moment, the two people who came to pick up the airport were obviously not locals, and everyone thought that they would be the kind of people who were dressed in white robes, after all, there was little contact, and it was the case that they saw the leaders meeting on TV and so on. But these two short-sleeved shirts, with slightly dark skin, look more capable, but more like South Asians.

Li Zhizhong didn't feel any surprise, and greeted everyone very calmly and walked with the two pick-up personnel.

The car for pick-up outside the airport is also very outstanding, and the two black business Mercedes-Benz cars are not particularly common in China at this time.

After getting into the car, Li Zhizhong also briefly talked about the situation with everyone.

There are only a few hundred thousand locals in Qatar, and there are very few locals who really make money from work, and some locals also work in banks, museums and related government agencies. Most of them are international workers, and a large number of Indians, Pakistanis and Filipinos are basically the basis of the local industrial workforce. Restaurant waiters, taxi drivers, doormen, security guards, etc., are basically people from these countries.

The car drove along the open highway all the way, and what they saw along the way also amazed everyone in the car.

Doha is the capital of Qatar, and it is not a very modern city with exotic scenery or anything.

However, there are not many buses and other vehicles along the way, and local public transportation in Qatar is relatively scarce, but personal luxury cars can be found almost everywhere on the streets. Although there is no scene of various sports cars as taxis in the news of later generations, many limited-edition sports cars that can be called unnamed are really eye-opening.

The staff and driver who picked up the airport along the way were quite chatty and kept introducing Doha and Karta in English. When talking about the 2006 Asian Games, the government said that the government had developed a 250-hectare sports complex called Doha Sports City, which included a variety of sports venues.

Like the venue of the Qatar Athletics Super Grand Prix, Khalifa International Sports City is part of the sports city. And because of the participation of many famous players, Al Jazeera will even broadcast it live.

The last hotel is also very high-end, the windows are bright and clean, so that the entire team members who accompanied Su Zu to participate in the competition are a little emotional, everyone has run a lot of countries in various competitions at home and abroad in the past two years, but compared to the conditions, Doha is the best this time.

This time I came to participate in the Doha Grand Prix, and there was actually a long time before I set off.

There weren't many major tournaments in 2006, with the exception of the IAAF World Tour, which was the Asian Games in December. This is a must-attend, and for the familiarity of the Chinese people, this is almost an important large-scale event second only to the Olympic Games.

The other competition requirements are relatively shallow, and this time to participate in the Doha Grand Prix, on the one hand, is to go to Qatar in advance to understand the situation, and on the other hand, Suzu has not participated in the Super Grand Prix.

Moreover, the events held by a tyrant country like Qatar can be said to be far above the average level in terms of prize money and appearance fees, and the athletes attracted to participate in the competition are basically the current top international players.

Su Zu came to participate in the competition this time to test the results of the closed training at the Haigen base. After all, this year is based on cultivation as a whole, and many events will not be participated, and domestic players who want to test Su Zu's current level basically can't find anyone.

Among the contestants of the Doha Grand Prix this time, the organizer also revealed in advance that many famous players such as Justin Gatlin were invited, which was the main reason why Su Zu and Li Zhizhong and others were most impressed to come to Doha to compete.

And the strong confrontation of top players like Suzu and Gatlin will also become a major attraction of this event.
