Chapter 243: The First Day of Bangkok Station

Chatting about the day, time flies quickly.

The passenger plane of the Chinese track and field team arrived at Bangkok Airport at 8 p.m. on September 28.

The capital of China is located in the 8th East District, and the Thai capital Bangkok is located in the 7th East District, and the time difference between China and Thailand is only 1 hour, which can basically be ignored.

The 13 members of the team checked into a hotel in downtown Bangkok and did not speak for the night.

The next day, September 29, Du Ke, Li Zhifu, and Wu Liru went to the venue of the Grand Prix in Bangkok for field adaptation training.

Bangkok successfully hosted the 13th Asian Games in 1998, when the main stadium of the Bangkok Asian Games was the Huamu National Stadium, a large stadium with a capacity of more than 70,000 spectators.

More than ten years have passed, and the Huamu National Stadium, which was ranked among the top three in Asia, can now only rank behind the top ten most advanced comprehensive stadiums in Asia, but after several renovations, this stadium has no problem hosting international track and field events.

The outdoor temperature in Bangkok in the past few days is between 25-32 degrees, and the air is humid and tidal, which makes the two northerners north of the Yellow River, Li Zhifu and Wu Liru, a little uncomfortable.

"It's the end of September, and it's October in two days, why is it still so hot in Thailand?" Wu Liru carried a bundle of poles to the Huamu National Stadium, wiped his sweat and continued: "I'm not afraid of heat, I'm afraid of humidity, the humidity in the air in Bangkok is too much, it's uncomfortable." ”

Li Zhifu's hometown is in a poor area, he has been able to bear hardships and stand hard work since he was a child, although he does not like the hot and humid climate conditions of Bangkok, but he does not complain, and when he comes to the stadium, he starts to run circles around the track, and is familiar with the track.

Of the three members of the Chinese team, Du Ke is the most adaptable to Bangkok's climate, and the city where he has lived for a long time, Nangang City, has the smallest latitude difference between Bangkok and Bangkok compared to northern Chinese cities. Nangang and Bangkok are both coastal cities, and the climate type is the same subtropical monsoon oceanic climate, so Du Ke can also adapt to Bangkok's hot and humid climate.

"Don't complain, if you don't adapt, you have to adapt to the climate here as soon as possible, or why don't we come to Bangkok two days in advance, just give you time to adapt to the environment." Learn to get rich comrades, bury your head in practice, never beep, the personalities of the two of you are divided by two, and one person is divided into half, then it will be harmonious. Du Ke said to Wu Liru.

"I don't want to become rich, I can't say ten words a day, it's better to let me die." Wu Liru gently rested his bundle of poles on the ground and began to inspect each of the dozen poles one by one.

The personality is so active that the words of Wu Liru are noisy, but at this time he is pious and focused on caressing. Touching each of his poles, this bundle of poles is his weapon, just as a gun is to a soldier.

"Life is endless, fighting is endless, men are the most handsome and attractive when they focus on one thing, if only you could keep it in this state all the time." Du Ke suddenly looked at Wu Liru with admiration, praised and encouraged Wu Liru: "Come on, China's little Bubka." ”

Wu Liru: "Cut, Bubka's pole is not as much as mine, one day I will surpass the Ukrainians, let the Ukrainian sister paper go crazy for me, I can collect it all, hahaha, it's cool to think about it!" The pious focus he had just now was gone, and he had regained his smug nature.

The legend of pole vaulting, the Ukrainian Bubka, often carries a bundle of poles of different diameters and curvatures when he participates in competitions, and he will choose different poles to correspond according to the height of the test jump.

Wu Liru seems to have more poles than Bubka's, so Duke calls him China's little Bubka.

Little Bubka has big ambitions, he is determined to surpass the old Bubka and include all Ukrainian girls under the age of 20. Palace.

Du Ke didn't want to deal with him again, "Let's get the Japanese first, Yamamoto Seitu didn't come to Bangkok, but Ogida Taiki came." Wu Liru, please don't talk to me for three days, I will ban your speech for three days. "After that, I also went to get used to getting used to the runway.

After Du Ke, Li Zhifu, and Wu Liru finished their adaptive training, they left Huamu Stadium. On the afternoon of the 29th and 30th, participants from other countries also entered the venue to get acquainted.

On the evening of September 30, the head coach, coach and team members of the Chinese track and field team gathered together for a meeting.

The schedule for October 1 and 2 and the information of the main competitors of other countries will be given to each participant.

On October 1, the men's side will compete in the 400m, 800m, 1500m, high jump and pole vault.

On October 2, the 100-meter, 200-meter, long jump, and discus competitions will be held.

Competitions in each event start on the same day and end on the same day.

100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, all one shot into the finals, one shot in the preliminaries, one shot in the evening.

The 1500m is directly a shot in the final, and there is no qualifying for the high jump and pole vault, and the 12 high jump and pole vaulters compete directly in the final.

The Chinese team only sent three male players to participate, one big god with two small stealths, and Japan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other countries came with many fierce people.

In men's athletics, the current Asian landscape is:

100-meter and 200-meter sprints, China, Japan, and Qatar compete for supremacy.

In the 400-meter and middle-distance running events, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and other West Asian countries occupy a dominant position.

In terms of track and field, in the jumping event, Chinese long jumper Li Jinze is currently in the first place in Asia, and the pole vault event is monopolized by Japanese players. In the high jump event, Qatar has a fierce man - Bashim, who jumped 2.40 meters this year, he has surpassed the Asian level, and can be called the world's top high jumper.

In the throwing event, Iran and Central Asia, a few countries with the suffix "Stan", have dominated Asia for many years, and are still dominating.

Du Ke looked at the information in his hand, "Japan's Kiryu Shohide is here, Saudi Arabia's Yusuf and Mohammed are here, and Qatar's two African mercenaries are here, it seems that the overall level of the Bangkok Grand Prix is quite high." It's a pity that Bashim didn't come, he broke the Asian record of Jianhua's predecessor in the high jump of 2.39 meters, I want to beat him the most, I didn't come, and I will talk to him next year. ”

On October 1, the Asian Athletics Grand Prix in Bangkok began.

The schedule of the DUC registration project is:

The 400-meter heats were held at 9:30 in the morning and the 800-meter heats at 11:30, and it was too hot in the afternoon, so I rested.

The 800m final will be held at 6 p.m., the high jump final at 7 p.m., and the 400-meter final at 9 p.m.

Du Ke arrived at Huamu Stadium early in the morning, and after warming up, he prepared to participate in the 400-meter preliminaries.

A total of 18 athletes from all over Asia signed up for the men's 400m event in Bangkok, and the 18 athletes were divided into two groups, one group of 9 players, each group opened the 9th lane, and the two preliminaries decided that 8 athletes entered the final.

Duke was placed in the sixth lane of the first group, and there were no particularly strong opponents in the same group, and his strongest opponent should be the Saudi Yusuf. The 26-year-old was placed in the second group, and his best 400m of the year was 44.61 seconds, which is ranked 15th in the world this year.

Douca's best official time in the 400m was 45.03 seconds, and he was able to run under 45 seconds in the team test events for nearly half a month, fluctuating around 44.90 seconds.

Of course, Yusuf is not able to run 44.61 seconds every game, and his daily level is about 44.90 seconds, and the theoretical strength comparison between him and Duke in the 400m event can be described as half a pound and eight taels, and whoever plays better on the spot can take away the US dollars and championship points.
