Chapter 423: The 2007 World Championships in Osaka begins

“…… CCTV is the first day of the World Championships in Osaka, and at 8 a.m. Beijing time, the men's 50-meter marathon has begun. The weather temperature is still relatively high, and it is already 28 degrees Celsius local time in Osaka at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the climate is relatively humid...... Chinese players Su Wei, Deng Haiyang, Li Zhuhong, Ren Yunlong, and Zheng Yunshan participated in the marathon of the men's group...... At 12:10 p.m. today, we will bring you the men's 100m preliminaries, at that time, my country's sprinter Ye Qin will participate, so stay tuned......"

On the morning of August 25, Saturday, many viewers in China who opened the CCTV sports channel saw the news of the event broadcast by the sports news host on TV early in the morning. In the flashback, there will also be a live video of the marathon for a while, and along the streets of Osaka, you can see a large number of onlookers on both sides.

"Sister, why don't we go to Osaka to watch the game live, didn't Hei Tan say it all, including air tickets and hotels."

Chen Ziyuan rubbed her eyes sleepily, glanced at the picture on the TV in the living room, and then muttered and turned her head and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

"You damn girl, what do you sleep at home during the holidays, you're going to be a freshman in high school next semester."

In the living room, Chen Zixi hadn't spoken yet, Huang Hongying, who was sitting at the dining table on the other side, was already dissatisfied, glared at her little daughter viciously, and then said again, "Xixi, I think you did the right thing about this, this school is about to start, and it's really a toss to go back and forth in Japan." Moreover, Ye Qin has a game over there, and you are distracted by Pingbai. ”

"Mom, you don't understand, my sister is gone, maybe she will break a few more world records." In the bathroom at the back of the living room, Chen Ziyuan poked her head out with a toothbrush in her mouth and said something with a grin.

"Chen Ziyuan!" Huang Hongying's face turned blank and her voice was elongated.

"Got it, got it." Chen Ziyuan shrank her head and hurried back to continue washing. From childhood to adulthood, once my mother called out her full name, it was basically a precursor to a storm, and she didn't want to touch this mold.

"It's all said, don't trouble people and cause trouble now." Huang Hongying looked at her little daughter, and was still a little angry, and muttered in a low voice.

Chen Yunbo, who was drinking porridge at the dining table, smiled and said slowly: "Ye Qin also told me about this, he now has an agent to help take care of this, but it is not troublesome." However, Ye Qin also said that the flow of people in Osaka has increased recently, and it is crowded everywhere. It's okay if Hee Hee refuses, school is going to start again recently, and I can't get out. Next year, next year's Olympics, our family will go to Yanjing to watch. ”

"It's better to buy your own tickets and book a hotel, don't let people pay for it, we are not bad at that." Huang Hongying's voice sounded, glanced at the law in the living room, and said again, "By the way, Xixi, do you still want to be a volunteer then?" ”

"Well, I guess I won't sign up until after school starts." Chen Zixi, who had been sitting on the sofa in front of the TV and did not speak, turned his head and replied, "Mom, don't pay attention to Yuanyuan, I don't want to go to Osaka to watch the game live this time." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zixi pointed to the TV screen, "It's too hot, we didn't look for guilt in the past." ”

"Yes." Huang Hongying nodded with a faint smile, "When you graduate, I don't bother to care where you want to go in the future." Well, next year's Olympic Games, our family will go to Yanjing to see the scene, you can tell me, how the stadium is like a bird's nest......"

Chen Zixi glanced at his parents who were eating breakfast, pursed his lips slightly, stopped talking, and continued to watch the game on the TV screen.

It's only a little more than 8 o'clock now, and there are almost four hours left in the men's 100m preliminaries, this summer, after Ye Qin returned to China, the two stayed together in Yanjing for a few days, but then Ye Qin had to start preparing for the World Championships, in order not to affect the disturbance, she went home early later.

As for the Osaka World Championships provoked by Fang Cai's little sister, she naturally knows the reason, she doesn't understand what kind of person her mother Huang Hongying is, she just doesn't want to spend other people's money to be gossiped.

There was nothing unhappy about her arrival, she really arrived in Osaka, as her father said, Ye Qin couldn't spare time...... It's just that I really want to watch him play live.

In the past two years, most of the competitions that Ye Qin has participated in have been international competitions, and few have shown his face in China. Because of the conflict with her academic time, or it was too far away, she had less time to actually watch the game live......

Nagai Stadium, Osaka.

When Ye Qin got off the bus with his backpack on his back, he saw the crowd outside the stadium.

"There are so many people today!" Chen Zhongzhou, who got out of the car behind Ye Qin, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be startled.

"It is estimated that next year's Yenching Olympics will be more lively than this." Zhuang Wei, who was accompanying him on the other side, shouted excitedly.

Ye Qin is no stranger to Changju Stadium, he came to participate in the Grand Prix before, and he is relatively familiar with all aspects, but the scene at that time is still much worse than the first day of the World Championships today.

This year's World Championships in Osaka is the largest number of athletes to date, with a total of 1,978 athletes from 212 countries and regions participating.

Speaking of the bidding process for the World Championships in Osaka, it is not unrelated to the Yenching Olympics next year.

When bidding for the Olympic Games, Osaka, Budapest and Berlin, all three countries were bidding for the 08 Olympic Games, but later Yanjing successfully bid for the Olympic Games, and the goals of these cities were turned to the World Championships in 07.

By October 1, 2002, Budapest and Berlin withdrew their bids for the '07 World Athletics Championships, and Osaka became the only city to be awarded the right to host the '07 World Championships. Berlin, Germany, won the right to host the '09 World Championships after the second round of bidding.

Yuan Guohua, as the head coach, looked at the two of them, but shook his head: "Don't look at the crowds outside, I heard that the ticket sales of this World Championships are not too satisfactory." ”

In the week before the start of the World Championships, there were reports in the media that there were still 46% of vacant seats, especially yesterday's opening ceremony, several people were present, and the attendance was less than half.

There are many reasons for this, such as the hot weather and high ticket prices, and the fact that the Japanese team is not particularly strong in track and field events at the moment has attracted everyone's attention.

In this case, it is likely that as the competition continues, the Japanese team may have a few shining points in track and field events before the ticket attendance returns.

"In recent years, the performance of Japanese athletics has not been particularly outstanding, mainly because there are no superstars."

Having participated in so many large and small competitions, Ye Qin is no longer familiar with track and field, and knows that it involves many problems of public psychology.

In recent years, Japan's performance in track and field events has been unsatisfactory, but he learned from the team that the Japanese 4×100m relay team lost to the Chinese team in the Asian Games last year, and like the Chinese relay team, they have spent a lot of time training hard to try to be able to make a splash at the World Championships.

It's just that at present, like the Chinese relay team, they have not experienced the baptism of the competition, and no one knows what the final results will be.

Like domestic track and field competitions, there used to be no one for several years, and the number of people who would go to the stadium to watch the games was very small, but since Liu Yangyu's Olympic gold medals, the influence of a superstar can cause a major event to be overcrowded.

So far, Ye Qin has not participated in many competitions in China, and if he does, the sensation will basically not be less than Liu Yangyu.

"Alright, under the sun, don't stay there all the time."

In Changju Stadium, everyone stopped for a short while, looked at the crowds gathered on both sides of the street to watch the marathon, and Yuan Guohua opened his mouth to remind.

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Qin again, "What do you think this time?" Coach Feng and Coach Yu both said that you don't want to give up 400 meters? ”
