Su Shen first arrived at the Magic City, met up with Liu Xiang and the others, and then went to the first match of the indoor competition.
Stuttgart International Indoor Championships.
Stuttgart is a city in Germany, located in the Neckar Valley in the center of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, close to the Black Forest. It is not only the state capital of the state, but also the capital of the state-level administrative regions and the Stuttgart region and the largest city in the state. The Stuttgart International Indoor Games can also be regarded as one of the more famous indoor international events in Europe. Although it is not as high as last year's International Association of Athletics Federations World Indoor Championships in Moscow, it is also one of the higher value competitions among indoor events.
Moreover, large-scale competitions such as the International Association of Athletics Federations World Indoor Track and Field Championships only happen once every two years. They were only completed last year and will not happen this year.
So this year is an opportunity for Su Shen and the others to sweep through all secondary international indoor competitions. .
Along the way, Su Shen and Liu Xiang sat together and chatted a lot. Liu Xiang is still one of the top figures in domestic track and field at the moment.
But the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.
In 2004, no one really knew about him or paid attention to him. He was traveling lightly.
It's different now.
He is famous all over the country, and his national popularity has exploded. From primary school students to senior citizens, almost everyone knows his name, Liu Xiang.
Moreover, Liu Xiang mainly discussed technical matters with Su Shen, including training and suspension, and almost kept silent.
The coach, the team, the contract, the expectations, and my own demands all pushed him into a tight state.
He will continue training after coming back from the Asian Games without even taking a day off. This kind of thing is what Liu Xiang does.
However, except for the part that Liu Xiang deliberately avoided, the conversation between the two was quite pleasant, and they made an appointment to take a walk around Germany's sixth largest city after the game.
After getting off the plane, it was still quite cold in Germany. Fortunately, everyone was well prepared and put on thick and warm clothes as soon as we got off the plane.
After taking the bus, we arrived at the hotel where we were staying, washed up and settled down.
…
Because it was an indoor competition, there was no unnecessary large-scale opening ceremony or anything like that. The registration and registration work ended quickly, and all the athletes were present. Even though the Stuttgart International Indoor Games is not as good as the International Association of Athletics Federations World Indoor Track and Field Championships, it is still a small but well-equipped event.
There are a lot of indoor projects that should be done, and it is obvious that they are now more experienced and meticulous in this area than in China.
It can be considered quite lively.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Xiao Tian, get ready to go." Yuan Guoqiang's voice came to mind outside the door. Ningdebao was now staying in the country to lay the foundation for Xie Zhengye. These things that Ningdebao originally did naturally became Yuan Guoqiang's business. But at any rate, Su Shen came to Ersha Island alone this time, so it was not troublesome.
Su Shen packed his things, especially his running shoes, which he had to bring.
Since she won the Asian Games championship, Li Ning actually made a running shoe tailor-made for herself. Unfortunately, Li Ning's running shoe skills and strength are not enough, so most of these shoes are used to promote Li Ning. The identity of the spokesperson. But Su Shen is not in a hurry, because the first version of his laboratory's first running shoe will be released soon.
Although in the beginning, it will definitely be customized for athletes, and it has not yet been mass-produced to make money, but as long as I and the people from the "Su Shen series" have good results in this pair of shoes, they will naturally be promoted and occupy enough customers. Market and share. After all, not to mention the technological content, Su Shen knows very well that those styles are the best to buy and are most easily accepted and bought by consumers.
Under the guidance of the Stuttgart International Indoor Games staff, Su Shen and the others arrived at the scene.
Because it is not a GW level, there are actually not many Chinese athletes here.
In addition to Su Shen and Liu Xiang, there were also a few high jumpers and long jumpers.
Therefore, the inside of the bus seemed relatively empty.
Before the game, Su Shen and Liu Xiang did not chat anymore, but listened to music respectively and finally relaxed themselves.
Su Shen also read some papers and journals on the way to recharge his brain.
The hotel was not far from the competition venue. Soon the group got out of the car and started preparing to warm up.
When they arrived at the competition venue and the finalized list came down, Yuan Guoqiang quickly took one and walked over to Su Shen. He was fully responsible for Su Shen in this international indoor competition.
"Xiao Tian, this is the list of contestants this time. I took a look, and these are the people who should pay the most attention." Yuan Guoqiang handed over the list of contestants. Su Shen lowered his head and saw that there were two people with red circles on it. Circles are drawn, they are————
Ronald Pognon and Karen Conright.
"You have played against both of these two people. Let me briefly explain. Ronald Pognon was the first player in the 60-meter PB in 2005."
"Karen Conright doesn't know what his level is. He didn't participate in the indoor competition last year."
Su Shen nodded. He actually knew that this year was not a competition year. Unless someone specifically wanted to train and stop him, otherwise...
It's really hard for anyone to stop me.
"How are you feeling, Xiao Tian." Yuan Guoqiang asked as usual, fearing that Su Shen might have any temporary discomfort.
After all, in Germany, from this timeline, this is the first time Su Shen has come here.
I'm afraid there will be some acclimatization.
Su Shen shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Yuan, just be prepared for victory."
"You kid." Yuan Guoqiang slapped Su Shen. If others said this, he would definitely criticize him severely, but to Su Shen, he could only say... well, this is called domineering. Gu Qiao
The arrogance of a world champion.
Because there are many athletes here, young and unknown athletes, they also want to gain experience in this kind of competition and test the waters. So there are not many people at all. Even the 60-meter hurdles require three shots to end.
It can be seen that in Europe, indoor competitions still have a high level of participation.
Although……
Their own strength is not that great.
It belongs to the type of "people are addicted to food".
This time at the Stuttgart International Indoor Games, because of the arrival of Liu Xiang, the 60-meter hurdles were deliberately placed as the finale event (this is true).
This change is also an absolute respect for the world record holder and Olympic champion.
So Su Shen’s 60 meters started first.
At 9:30 in the morning, Su Shen and other contestants arrived at the designated location to conduct inspections.
The Stuttgart International Indoor Games was indeed a decent one, and the inspection process was no worse than that of the World Championships and Olympic Games.
At the current stage in China, the standardization is even more incomparable.
There were as many as two inspections alone.
The urine test is very detailed and should be kept in multiple copies.
Su Shen did not expect that he would receive extra attention.
When I walked in, many people were looking at me.
Almost forgot……
I was also the champion of last year’s International Association of Athletics Federations World Indoor Athletics Championships in the 60 meters.
Although 6.52s, the outside world is saying that it is too watery, and it is one of the most watery champions, but a champion is a champion, and he still has a reputation.
No longer a nobody.
The domestic television broadcast also started as usual. This time Su Shen and Liu Xiang were both present, and the intensity of the broadcast was much greater.
In addition to Yang Jian, there is also Chen Haijian.
This foreign combination of professional commentators + professional athletes has gradually gained favor in China. In addition, the previous few times have indeed worked well, and now China Sports Channel has slowly fixed this model.
"Hello, viewers, this is Tianchao Sports Channel, and I am Yang Jian."
"I am Chen Haijian."
"In this competition, two domestic sprint star athletes, Su Shen and Liu Xiang, will participate. The men's 60-meter preliminaries will begin soon."
"We can see from the list that Su Shen is in the seventh group."
When the first few groups ran, apart from briefly introducing the results, Yang Jian was chatting with Chen Haijian.
Of course, the main subject of the chat was Su Shen, the only domestic competitor in the 60m.
"Hai Jian, do you think Su Shen can achieve good results in the international arena this time?" Yang Jian asked.
"I think there is no problem." Chen Haijian said with a smile: "As long as you perform normally, there will be no problem in the finals."
"Even a gold medal is a real possibility."
"It seems that you are also looking forward to Su Shen."
"Who is not looking forward to Su Shen now? He is the person who broke the Asian record with three consecutive shots a few days ago." Chen Haijian said as the seventh group of athletes began to take the field one after another.
"Okay, we see that Su Shen has come up. He is in the eighth path, and the path is not very ideal." Yang Jian said: "But I believe that for Su Shen, this problem is nothing. Although he is young, He already has enough game experience and major honors, so I believe that small problems like this will be easily solved for him.”
"You must pay attention to the distribution of your physical fitness in the international arena." Chen Haijian reminded that he really wanted to see the Chinese people "show off their power" in the international arena, so he was worried that Su Shen was too young and wanted to prove himself too much, and his mentality would fluctuate.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in track and field.
Especially for young players.
And what Su Shen was thinking at the moment was actually...
Breaking the international arena.
Start with this shot.
He patted his thigh, ready to make a little effort.
