Chapter 316: The World Championships begin

On the afternoon of August 8, the flight carrying more than 100 athletes, coaches, relevant leaders and staff of the Chinese track and field management center arrived at Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long-distance flight of nearly 10 hours, more than 100 members of the Chinese track and field delegation were very tired physically and mentally. Therefore, after all the members arrived at the designated hotel provided by the organizing committee, a considerable number of them did not even have time to eat dinner, but simply washed up and went straight to sleep.

Even though he had just experienced the wind of a long flight, his body was also a little tired. But because he had long been accustomed to the life of a "trapeze", his fatigue did not reach the point of being difficult to overcome.

Moreover, because Fengquan's "goddess" Wang Sinan also won the ticket to the World Championships in Moscow, he was even more reluctant to miss this good time before the opening of the World Championships.

So, after soliciting the same from Wang Sinan himself, Feng Quan prepared to go on a "tour" with her in the surrounding area of the hotel.

Although Wang Sinan has basically agreed, the "boyfriend and girlfriend relationship" between him and Feng Quan. But in fact, because Feng Quan has rarely returned to the provincial team for training, it has been difficult for the two to get a chance to be alone for a long time except for the "date" in Wu City.

After following the Chinese track and field team to Moscow, Feng Quan can finally get the opportunity to be alone with the "goddess" before the official opening of the World Championships.

In order to avoid eating certain "things that should not be eaten" when eating out, which can cause problems with your drug test after the game. Therefore, Feng Quan and Wang Sinan chose to have dinner in the hotel instead of eating some local snacks outside the hotel. After all, in this hotel designated by the Moscow World Championships Organizing Committee, the "safety" of food is still relatively guaranteed. At the very least, there will be no ban due to "accidental ingestion of clenbuterol".

………………

Although Feng Quan and Wang Sinan are both standard "post-90s" youths, because they began to engage in professional track and field training at a very young age, their "love experience" is almost zero. After all, for the two, this ignorant love is still their "first experience of love".

Wang Sinan is slightly better than Feng Quan, after all, as a girl, she still watches some "urban love idol dramas" in her spare time. Therefore, even if you don't have any "practical experience", you will have some "theoretical" knowledge.

As for Feng Quan, who focuses most of his energy on training and competitions, he is basically equivalent to a "love idiot"-like existence.

Under normal circumstances, a couple who come out to "go shopping" at night, even if they do not hug each other side by side, at least the man should take the initiative to hold the woman's hand. But the wind was all good, not only did he not have "any form" of physical contact with Wang Sinan, but also always maintained a "polite social distance" of about three meters from the other party.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them also had a standard Chinese face, the Moscow "old hairymen" who were also shopping would probably suspect that they "didn't know each other at all".

If it weren't for a "little hairy" who looked about twenty years old, who took the initiative to talk to Wang Sinan, I am afraid that until the two of them finished "shopping", Feng Quan would still maintain a "polite social distance" of about three meters from his "goddess".

After proving his identity to the "little Maozi", Feng Quan finally "took the opportunity" to shorten the distance between himself and Wang Sinan to a distance of 0.5 to 1 meter like a "friend, acquaintance or relative".

Glancing at Feng Quan, who kept "smirking" beside him, Wang Sinan couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Although I have long heard that Feng Quan is a guy, his experience in the relationship between men and women is almost a blank slate. But Wang Sinan really didn't expect that this guy would be so wooden.

In the end, it was Wang Sinan who made a little "hint" to Fengquan, and this wooden guy finally "mustered up the courage" and took the hand of the "goddess".

Although the feeling of holding hands with the "goddess" made Feng Quan very excited, but because after the opening ceremony of the World Championships the day after tomorrow, the decathlon competition he participated in will officially begin.

The two ended up wandering the streets of Moscow for only an hour and a half before returning to their hotel. After saying goodnight to each other, they each returned to their rooms.

………………

Due to the competition in the decathlon event in which the three Feng Quanshi brothers participated, it was arranged to be held in the first two days of this World Championships.

So, after a night's rest, the three brothers of Feng Quanshi, who had basically passed the jet lag, returned to the hotel early after arriving in Moscow on the afternoon of the second day, just went to the competition venue for an hour and a half of simple adaptation training, and after exercising their muscles and bones.

After dinner in the cafeteria, the three brothers went to the hotel's gym and after an hour of strength exercises, they returned to their respective rooms to save up enough energy for the official competition that would start the next day.

Although the Moscow organizing committee very much hopes that Feng Quan will be able to participate in the opening ceremony of the World Championships, and is also preparing to let him participate in the athletes' oath-taking activities at the end of the opening ceremony as an athlete representative.

However, considering that soon after the opening ceremony, the decathlon in which Feng Quan participated will start to compete. Therefore, the Chinese track and field delegation made the decision for Feng Quan and declined the "kindness" of the Moscow Organizing Committee.

………………

Although many of the world's best athletes competed at last year's London Olympics, almost all of them gathered at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium to compete in the decathlon.

But before the competition officially began, Feng Quan and Ashton-Eaton, the two "peerless duos" in the decathlon, had almost locked the first two positions on the podium in advance. As for the other 30 or so participating athletes, as long as Feng Quan and Eton do not make a major mistake of "no results in a certain event", I am afraid they will only have to compete for the third place.

At 8:40 a.m. local time in Moscow, the men's 100m race, the first event of the decathlon at the World Championships, officially began.

Since a total of 35 athletes qualified for the event, the organizing committee divided everyone into 4 groups according to the registration results of the contestants.

Considering that Feng Quan is in this World Championships, he not only has to participate in the decathlon, men's 100m, and 400m individual events, but also has to participate in the 4X100m relay with several other teammates.

Therefore, as early as a month before the opening of the World Championships, the field management center made a request to the Moscow Organizing Committee. Hopefully, they will be able to arrange the order of the athletes as much as possible in the higher groups. In this way, Feng Quan can get some more rest time when he plays the next game.

In view of the "good cooperative relations" between China and Russia, the Moscow Organizing Committee gladly accepted the request of the Athletics Management Center.

In order to help Feng Quan create good results in this World Championships, the organizing committee not only provided a certain amount of "convenience" for Feng Quan in the decathlon event. Moreover, the competition time of the men's 100m and 400m events has also been revised specifically for Fengquan.

According to the original plan of the organizing committee, the men's 100-meter dash will start the day after the decathlon ends. In this way, Feng Quan's physical fitness will be put to the test.

In addition, since there has never been a precedent for anyone to participate in both the 100m and 400m events at the same time, the first two rounds of preliminaries of the 400m and 100m events were interspersed in the original competition schedule of the organizing committee.

In order to "facilitate" Fengquan to create good results, the organizing committee put the first two rounds of preliminaries of the men's 100-meter sprint on the fourth race day. The first two rounds of the men's 400m event were postponed to the fifth day of competition.

As for the finals of these two events, they were scheduled for the 6th and 7th competition days respectively.

………………

Even before arriving in Moscow, Feng Quan had set his goal of "breaking the world record in the decathlon".

As a result, Feng Quan, who has rarely used skills in the 100-meter event of the decathlon, actually used the skill of [instant acceleration] in the final 40 meters.

As a result, in the first group competition of the decathlon 100-meter dash, there was a huge gap of seven or eight meters between the first and second places.

With a time of 9.70 seconds (1172 points), Feng Quan easily created the "best result" in the 100-meter sprint in the decathlon.

In the second group race, Feng Quan's biggest rival, Ashton Eaton, set a personal best of 10.21 seconds (1,044 points). However, he was still left with a gap of nearly 130 points by the "King of Sprints" after the first race.

In addition, Zhao Feng, who participated in the World Series for the first time, after the "pointing" of El-Carris, his progress in the sprint event was also quickly reflected.

In the third group competition, Zhao Feng, who broke the 10.60 second mark for the first time in an official competition, tied for the top spot in the group with a time of 10.52 seconds (970 points) and the famous Canadian athlete Damian Warner.

Qi Haifeng, who was assigned to the last group, although because of his age, his competitive state has decreased to a certain extent compared with last year's Olympic Games.

However, it is also because of El-Karis that Qi Haifeng actually ran the best time in the past three years in the 100-meter dash race - 10.69 seconds (931 points).

In the end, with their excellent performance in the 100-meter sprint race, the three brothers of Feng Quanshi temporarily ranked in the top eight after the first race. In particular, Zhao Feng, who has made significant progress in the sprint event, is tied with Damian Werner for third place.

Compared with the excellent performance of the three Feng Quanshi brothers, the three athletes representing the United States team, except for Ashton Eaton's performance, the other two performed a little worse.

In particular, Trey Haldy, who originally had good strength in the 100m event, actually ran a time of only 10.85 seconds (894 points) due to a mistake at the start. As a result, after the first competition, he fell out of the top 8 of the rankings.

You must know that the third-place winner at last year's London Olympics ran 10.42 seconds (994 points) in the 100-meter sprint at that time, which was second only to Feng Quan and Ashton-Eaton.

………………

Although the results after the end of the first race do not have much to do with the final position of the whole race. But when Yue Wenjun, who was sitting in the stands of the Luzhniki Stadium, saw the names of his three disciples, ranked first, third, and seventh in the standings, he kept waving his fists excitedly.

If Yue Wenjun had to choose who would surprise him the most after the first competition, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to choose his eldest apprentice, Qi Haifeng.

For Qi Haifeng, who is standing in the past year, coming to participate in the Moscow World Championships this time may be his last chance to participate in the World Championships. Compared with last year's "smooth sailing", this year's Qi Haifeng has a bit of a "bad year".

Although in several domestic competitions in the first half of the year, Qi Haifeng won the championship of the decathlon event relatively smoothly, and in the first leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix in late April, he easily reached the A standard of the Moscow World Championships.

But after losing to Feng Quan at the National Track and Field Championships held in late May and early June, Qi Haifeng began to encounter all kinds of troubles.

First, on the way back to the provincial team after the National Athletics Championships, he fell ill with a severe cold. Moreover, due to the emergence of the "H7N9 virus" in many places across the country during that time, Qi Haifeng was almost suspected of suffering from avian influenza.

After ruling out the threat of avian flu, Qi Haifeng was tormented by "diarrhea" for nearly half a month.

Then, after entering July, Qi Haifeng, who had just defeated the "diarrhea" disease, accidentally sprained his right ankle during a long jump training.

Although this year's ailments are nothing more than a "drizzle" compared to previous years' injuries. However, the continuous "unsmoothness" in the month still made Qi Haifeng almost make the decision to "give up participating in the Moscow World Championships".

It is precisely because of this that Qi Haifeng finally overcame the psychological barrier, and under the guidance of El Karis, after running the best 100-meter result in recent years, Yue Wenjun will be excited about his excellent performance......
