Chapter 304 The Asian Championships Begins
After returning to Beijing with the national weightlifting team, Yi Dun did not dare to delay and took a plane to Guangzhou that night.
It is November 13 now, and the Asian Athletics Championships will be held on November 16, and Yi Dun has no time to return to Jibei.
"Yidun, there will be an Asian Weightlifting Championships at the beginning of next year. Do you want to go there at that time?" Long Qingquan and several teammates rushed to the airport to see Yidun off.
"I don't know, let's talk about it then. The possibility of going there is not much. You know, I really have a lot of things to do, I'm busy every day and don't touch the ground." Yi Dun said with a wry smile.
Long Qingquan nodded, no one knew that Yi Dun was busy...
Perhaps Yidun is the busiest athlete on the planet, and no athlete will participate in as many events as Yidun.
"Okay, it doesn't matter, as long as you participate in the World Championships and the Olympics." Long Qingquan gave Yi Dun a hug. After this separation, I don't know when I will meet again.
"Don't worry, I can't miss the World Championships and the Olympics."
Yi Dun has a good impression of Long Qingquan, and he is a very great athlete.
Maybe if you want to talk about the achievements made in sports, it is definitely not as good as Yi Dun, but Long Qingquan has done a good job in other aspects.
I really like to help my teammates in the weightlifting team. With such a selfless big brother leading the team, China's weightlifting will definitely not be bad in the future.
...
After saying goodbye to the weightlifting team, Yi Dun boarded the plane to Guangzhou.
Naturally, the plane caused another sensation. Many people knew that after they were on the same plane as Yi Dun, they looked for Yi Dun to take photos and sign.
This kind of thing is usually satisfied if Yi Dun can satisfy it.
For him, it was really a simple task and could also pass on the boring journey, but for him, it might be a wonderful memory.
It’s a good deal to create a beautiful memory for people just by making your own efforts.
After getting off the plane, the staff of the National Track and Field Center were already waiting for Yi Dun at the airport, and they had already gathered in Guangzhou.
Because this Asian Championship was held at home, the top leaders attach great importance to it. Unlike the previous Jordan Asian Championships, the top leaders did not send many top athletes to participate.
At least all the top domestic players Yi Dun is familiar with this time have come.
"Baixue, come on this time. I won the gold medal at the World Championships. Don't sail in the Asian Championships."
"Wang Hao, I won't say anything. Don't be a silver medal again this time."
Yi Dun saw some familiar teammates and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Dun, I heard that you only signed up for two events in this Asian Championship, namely 1500 meters and 800 meters?" Wang Hao came over and asked in shock.
"Yes, you won't know my previous test, right?"
"I know, that must be because I know. I'm just curious why you don't sign up for more events. Although the gold medal in the Asian Championships is not as high as the World Championships, it is also a gold medal at the continental level." Wang Hao asked scratched his head.
If he were Yi Dun, he would never miss any project. As long as he could win the gold, he would sign up for it.
"It's meaningless to register so many times. You can't give people a way out at all." Shi Dongpeng smiled and helped Yi Dun answer.
The prize money for the World Championships is actually quite good, and many athletes are counting on winning the gold medal to earn some bonuses.
For Yi Dun, this bonus is definitely not enough. The prize money for any Grand Prix must be higher than that for the Asian Championships. For other players who are not that popular, this bonus is a huge sum.
If Yi Dun gets all the bonuses, it will really not give anyone a way out.
Athletes are also human beings, and they also have to make money to support their families...
Theoretically, as long as Yi Dun is diligent enough, he can now be in a state where he is either in the competition or on the road to the competition.
In addition to various grand prixes, there are also some invitational competitions in each event. Including some comprehensive events, Yi Dun can fully line up his daily competitions.
But if you do this, it actually means nothing. At most, it will allow Yi Dun to make more money.
...
After a while, Liu Xiang came and was a little amused when he saw Yi Dun.
When Yi Dun tested last time, he had already left the training base. After he arrived in Shanghai, he learned that Yi Dun had tested 1,500 meters.
Liu Xiang could only sigh inwardly that Yi Dun was a big beast. He had just won nine gold medals at the World Championships. As a result, he immediately brought such a huge surprise to people as soon as he returned to China.
"Yidun, what kind of surprise will be given to us in this Asian Championship?"
"Don't tell us that you are just breaking the event record, so we won't agree. What we want to see is that you break the world record." Liu Xiang smiled.
Events at this level of the Asian Championship can already break the world record, rather than surpass the world record.
Of course, if you apply for events like the National Games in China, you will have a chance to be recognized by the International Athletics Federation, but the chance is not high, so Yi Dun did not apply for the record that he had broken at the National Games before.
"That's a must. Both projects must have to break the world record, and no one can be missing." Yi Dun did not be modest to these old teammates.
Because of my own strength, the entire track and field center should be very clear now.
In daily training, you can achieve results that surpass the world record in every training. The Asian Championships have no reason to break the world record.
...
If this Asian Track and Field Championship held at the entrance of China was not as usual, it would probably not have received much attention.
Before Liu Xiang and Yi Dun rose, the domestic track and field atmosphere was not very good, and the attention was not high, and it might not even be a fraction of football and basketball.
But now with Yi Dun's magical rise, the audience has been rising.
When they learned that Yi Dun had only signed up for two events, domestic audiences were naturally extremely disappointed, which means it was difficult for them to see Yi Dun at the competition site.
The tickets for the two events that Yi Dun participated in were already at an extremely amazing price. Even so, some viewers still wanted to buy one.
However, although it is difficult to watch Yi Dun's competition on site, the two events Yi Dun signed up for this time made the audience feel unlimited imagination.
Anyone who has been following Yi Dun is very clear that Yi Dun has never run a single event of 1500 meters or 800 meters in the competition before.
Now Yi Dun has suddenly participated in these two events, and the audience has a premonition that Yi Dun's championship may make a big splash in these two events.
On November 18, the 1500-meter group stage began.
Although it is only an Asian-level competition, there are quite a few contestants, with a total of 53 contestants signing up for the 1500-meter event of the Asian Championships.
Fifty-three players were divided into four groups, and the fourth group where Yi Dun was located will start at around 8 o'clock in the evening.
This time Yi Dun was not alone, with two national teammates participating in the competition with Yi Dun.
But the three of them were not assigned to a group.
"Yidun, just focus on the two naturalized players in Chin Bahrain."
"One is called Kamal and the other is called Ali. Both of them entered the finals in the previous World Championships, and Kamal even won the gold medal." Teammate Gao Guang told Yi Dun about the situation of the players in the same game.
Gao Guang is currently the strongest player under Coach Song Tao. This time he will participate in the Asian Championships with Yi Dun.
Yi Dun was stunned. This Bahrain player is really a bit powerful.
Kamal actually won the gold medal in the World Championships, and his strength is amazing.
As for the other Ali, it puzzled Yi Dun. Is this sure it is not that boxing champion Ali?
"Ali? The same name as that boxing champion?" Yi Dun asked curiously.
"I don't know this. Anyway, Coach Song Tao has been calling him Ali, who knows the names of foreigners?"
"What about the Japanese players? How strong are they?" Yi Dun asked again.
At present, in addition to Bahrain, Japan and China are the track events in Asia. Of course, this is also considered an old calendar.
With the rise of Yi Dun, Liu Xiang and others, China's track competitions have now surpassed Bahrain and Japan and become the number one in Asia.
"They don't need to pay much attention. Their 1500 meters may be slightly stronger than us, and they are just a little bit stronger. Anyway, they are all the levels that cannot meet the World Championships." Gao Guang smiled bitterly.
In the 1500-meter event in the Berlin World Championships, neither China nor Japan participated in the competition.
"With your strength, you only need to pay attention to those two Bahrain players. Even Ali doesn't need to pay much attention, you just need to pay attention to Kamal."
Yi Dun nodded. If you look at it this way, the gold content of this Asian Championships gold medal seems to be quite high.
After all, the opponent has a World Championship champion like Kamal. If he can win Kamal, the gold medal will immediately soar.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Yi Dun appeared on the track, causing applause like tsunamis on the spot.
Now, except for those in the Track and Field Center, no one knows the true strength of the Yidun 1500m event. Their strength of the Yidun 1500m is still at the decathlon.
If Yi Dun had not created too many miracles, I'm afraid no one would have been optimistic about what good results Yi Dun had achieved in the 1500-meter project.
Now that Yi Dun has participated in the competition, the audience at the scene is extremely at ease and firmly believes that Yi Dun can give them a surprise today.
...
"Bang!"
When the starting gun was fired, Yi Dun took the lead and rushed forward.
There are no well-known players in the same group, and the two Bahrain players are different from Yi Dun.
After running a distance of just one hundred meters, Yi Dun established a leading advantage, and then, under the attention of the audience, he did not slow down at all and ran a lap and a half distance.
In a short period of time, Yi Dun has already led the players behind him by a great distance, and it seems that there is no suspense in this game.
Chapter completed!
