After returning to China after a mission to Hong Kong, Feng Quan, led by Liu Jianjun, the sprint coach of the national track and field team, boarded a flight to Zurich, Switzerland, along with several other staff members of the athletics management center, to participate in the IAAF Diamond League held there on August 30.

In fact, it was only on the afternoon of his arrival in Hong Kong on August 24 that Feng Quan received a notice from the Athletics Management Center that the organizing committee of the IAAF Diamond League Zurich Station had sent him an invitation to participate. Therefore, after the visit to Hong Kong, Feng Quan, who did not have much time to adjust his state, was not very willing to be invited to participate in the competition.

In fact, the reason why the organizing committee of the Zurich Diamond League sent an invitation to Fengquan only a week before the start of the competition was really a last resort. Because Usain Bolt, who had not accepted the invitation to participate, suddenly made a "request to participate" on August 22.

However, although it is a "request" made by Usain Bolt to the Zurich Organizing Committee, his "request" also contains a "request". That is to hope that the organizing committee can invite Feng Quan, who is not on the list of entrants, to come to the competition.

If it were another athlete, the Zurich Organizing Committee would categorically not accept this "request" from the other party.

Because as early as the day after the men's 100-meter flyer final at the London Olympics, the Zurich Organizing Committee entrusted the London Olympic Organizing Committee to send an invitation to Fengquan to participate in the Zurich Diamond League.

Unexpectedly, the invitation to Feng Quan from the Zurich Organizing Committee was politely rejected by the leaders of the Chinese Olympic delegation. The reason is that because the Chinese athletes who won the Olympic championship have to "form a group" to visit Hong Kong, there may be a conflict in time.

As a result, the Zurich organizing committee, which had failed to invite the wind, had no choice but to send an invitation to St. Kitts and Nevis veteran Kim Collins.

Although Feng Quan took the title of "King of Sprints" from Usain Bolt at the London Olympics, he failed to break the world record in the 100m sprint held by Usain Bolt. Therefore, when Bolt put forward a "request" to compete with the wind, the Zurich Organizing Committee sent another invitation to the field management center.

In addition, when the invitation was issued, he also promised the athletics management center that as long as Feng Quan could come to compete, he would not only pay him an appearance fee, but also pay an additional 300,000 euros to the athletics management center in the "track and field support fund".

The athletics management center, which received the commitment of the "Athletics Support Fund" of the Zurich Organizing Committee, readily agreed to the other party's request.

On the surface, it seems that the Zurich Organizing Committee has lost a lot of money in inviting Feng Quan to participate in the competition. But in fact, if the two "kings of sprinting" can be allowed to compete at the top of the competition again on the circuit in Zurich after the London Olympics, both in terms of ticket sales and commercial sponsorship, it will be several times the figure of 300,000 euros.

Although Feng Quan was subjectively reluctant to participate in the Diamond League in Zurich, he did not immediately refuse the IAAF's invitation after receiving the notice from the Athletics Management Center.

Because after the "formation" of Fengquan's agent team was completed, Zhao Shijie, the core figure of the "Wind Team", instructed Fengquan that no matter what invitation he received, he would first discuss with him before deciding whether to be invited to participate.

So, Feng Quan, who arrived in Hong Kong not long ago, dialed the phone number of his agent Zhao Shijie and told the other party that he had received the invitation from the Zurich Organizing Committee.

"Daquan, how do you feel about your current game? If you go to the race, what kind of results will you be able to run? If you run into Usain Bolt, how sure are you that you will be able to defeat him? Zhao Shijie asked on the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Quan replied, "I have been participating in various celebrations non-stop during this time, and I haven't been systematically trained for a long time. The current state of the game can only be described as mediocre. In terms of grades...... I can barely run under 9.80 seconds. As for Usain Bolt, I don't think he's in much better shape than me now, so the certainty of defeating him should be at least about four or five percent. ”

As soon as Feng Quan's words fell, Zhao Shijie was almost angry by "Qi", and said in his heart: "I can run within 9 seconds and 80 seconds, and I also said that my state is very average...... If these words are heard by other domestic athletes, they will not be angry. I really don't know if this kid should be called arrogant or self-confident......"

However, as the core figure of the "Wind Team", Zhao Shijie definitely can't tell Feng Quan what he thinks at this time.

"If that's the case, I personally recommend that you go for this competition. Moreover, it is better to beat Bolt in the game, and if not to beat him, at least to finish in the top three. In this way, it will be more conducive to the progress of our next plan. ”

"Brother Zhao, what's our next plan?" Feng Quan asked.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until next month to find a suitable opportunity to hold a press conference to announce that we had formed the Wind Team. However, I just thought about it, and this Diamond League in Zurich is a very suitable opportunity. If you can beat Usain Bolt in this competition, we can hold a press conference directly there to announce the formation of the 'Wind Team' and the news that you are going to compete in track and field and football at the same time. In this way, even if the athletics management center does not agree to you to participate in football matches at the same time in the future, it will be convenient for you to win the opportunity to participate in the trial of a European club......"

The SWISS flight that Feng Quan took off from Capital International Airport at 6:45 a.m. Beijing time on August 28.

After nearly 11 hours of flight, at 10:40 local time, it finally landed at Zurich International Airport.

As soon as they walked out of the terminal of Zurich International Airport, Feng Quan, Liu Jianjun and others were picked up by a commercial car sent by the Zurich Organizing Committee. Soon after, the business car carrying Feng Quan and others arrived at the Marriott International Hotel in the center of Zurich.

The staff of the organizing committee left the Marriott Hotel after checking in to the hotel for Feng Quan.

Since I had just experienced a long-distance flight, the wind was already hungry when I came to the Marriott Hotel. So, after arranging his belongings, Feng Quan called Liu Jianjun and others and followed him to the hotel's restaurant, ready to invite everyone to a delicious meal.

Feng Quan and the others had just stepped into the restaurant of the Marriott Hotel, and before the waiter could arrange seats for them, they heard a familiar voice greeting Feng Quan in English.

"Hey, man.i\'msogladto\'mafraidyoucan\'te. It's a pleasure to see you here. I'm worried that you won't be able to come)" (To be continued.) )
