There are a total of 26 projects competing in this Magic City Gold Competition.
Tianchao Sports Channel will also broadcast the game live at 19:55 on September 20.
But something different from the original time and space is that this time the 100 meters is the most popular event in the 2008 Magic City Grand Prix.
If Liu Xiang participated in the 110-meter hurdles, he would definitely still be first. But now that Liu Xiang does not participate, the focus of publicity will naturally be on Su Shen and the others.
A silver medalist in Northern Austria, a florist super flyer second only to Usain Bolt, the strongest in the world outside of West African descent.
With many titles, Su Shen was promoted to the highest position on this bulletin board.
During the interview, you can also see that Su Shen can get more resources and more attention.
But this is all achieved by relying on your own Olympic results, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Because competitive sports have a hard standard, which is performance, it is different from the subjective judgments of those in literary and artistic work. Strong is strong, weak is weak, and there is nothing else to talk about.
Not convinced? Don't give in and hold it back.
Of course, this year also saw a future No. 1 brother in Asia's 110 column begin to appear.
He is Xie Wenjun.
Xie Wenjun was born in a sports family. His father was a volleyball teacher at East China University of Science and Technology, and his mother Wu Liping broke the women's 100m and 200m national records. With the encouragement of his parents, it only took him 4 years to conquer the small hurdle of 76.2 cm, the low hurdle of 84 cm, and the junior hurdle of 91.4 cm. At first, the tall Xie Wenjun was sent to a football club in Pudong by his mother to play as a goalkeeper, but he felt average after practice. So, he transferred to the Xinzhuang base and changed to training in the men's 110-meter hurdles.
Xie Wenjun, who is 1.89 meters tall, reached the Olympic A standard with a time of 13.51 seconds at the "Good Luck BJ" Track and Field Open in the Bird's Nest in May this year. He was not yet 18 years old at the time and is currently the youngest man in the world to reach the Olympic standard. Athletes with the a mark in the 110-meter hurdles. Liu Xiang is also very optimistic about this "little junior brother": "This little guy is only 18 years old and has potential!"
In line with Sun Haiping's evaluation - "My expectation for him is to strive to enter the top eight at the 2012 London Olympics and become a world-class expert."
The nickname "Xiao Liuxiang" spread like wildfire.
At this time, praise and praise always come unexpectedly, such as the sentence above - "His performance has surpassed that of Liu Xiang at that age."
He was directly promoted to the forefront.
Coupled with wrong technical positioning.
Sun Haiping made a famous comment about his comparison with Liu Xiang: "Technology feels better, because our physical fitness is not comparable to that of European and American players, so we can only take the technical path. In the hurdles In terms of grasping the rhythm of time, there is a big gap between him and Liu Xiang, which requires time to train and improve."
In fact, there was nothing wrong with this statement at the time, because the whole country and Asia thought so at the time. However, in the eyes of people behind, this statement was full of "limitations of the times."
"Technology feels better, because our physical fitness is not comparable to that of European and American players, so we can only take the technical path." How many track and field geniuses have been capped? In fact, in track and field, only when your physical fitness improves can we talk about other things.
Otherwise, your physical fitness is equivalent to locking the upper limit of your own abilities.
However, this matter only started to take shape after 2013 in the original timeline, and it was the Dash team that was the first to wake up.
Therefore, it is difficult for people nowadays to get out of this "limitation of the times".
…
Enter the arena.
The desertedness of this game in my memory did not appear.
Why do you say "deserted"?
Because the theme of this year's Magic City International Athletics Gold Grand Prix is "Heroes", but because of the lack of stars such as Liu Xiang, Robles and Bolt, the competition feels like a lack of heroes, which is a bit unclear.
And without heroes, it means losing appeal in the sports world.
The attendance rate of the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai was only about 30% last night. It can be said that the Shanghai Grand Prix has encountered the biggest "cold wave" in four years. This is also the case for the "scalpers" who scalped tickets outside the venue. They all complained: "Without Liu Xiang, who would go to see it?! No one wants to buy a ticket for 5 yuan. How can there be any profit from selling this ticket?" !”
The attendance rate is only 30%.
The ticket sales alone will result in a loss of 500,000 yuan.
The "scalpers" are starting to complain, not to mention the competition organizing committee.
The event organizing committee has always wanted to build the Magic City Grand Prix into a first-class brand event nationwide and even internationally. After four years of hard work, this competition has been upgraded from a charter competition to an IAAF tour event. Every year, the organizers make a lot of commercial hype. According to Agence France-Presse, as a competition with a history of 4 years, the Magic City Golden Grand Prix is working towards the IAAF Golden League. This event is also likely to become one of the six European Golden Leagues. , the highest level of track and field competition.
When in fact we all know.
The Golden League was not successfully upgraded, but it was upgraded to the Diamond League in 2010. This is a story for another day.
But obviously this time is different.
completely different.
Although Liu Xiang cannot play due to injury, Su Shen and others will come. This is also a good opportunity for the audience who have not had the opportunity to witness the speed of Su Shen and others planting flowers at the Bird's Nest. In addition, the ticket price here is much cheaper than the Bird's Nest, and it was almost sold out not long after it went on sale.
There is almost no difference from last year’s Golden Grand Prix.
All were "looted".
The title of the scene also started to switch to——flower planting speed, just 100 meters.
on this title.
Although Bolt and Powell from Jamaica did not come, nor did Gay from the American team, as long as Su Shen is there, it will still be an attractive enough event.
And for the organizers, if these people don't come, it will most likely mean that Su Shen can make history at the Magic City Golden Grand Prix and win our first local Golden Grand Prix 100-meter flying champion.
Because Su Shen and the others are here, the chief sponsor this time last year was Dr. Zhou Jewelry.
As a major jewelry company, they continue to sponsor special trophies for the champions of each event. This trophy is based on the ancient Chinese architectural style to highlight the simplicity and grandeur of the trophy. The golden dragon entrenched on the top of the trophy is plated with 999.9 thousand pure gold. In addition, 10 kilograms of gold were specially created to bring good luck to the Golden Grand Prix to upgrade to the Golden League.
In addition, the organizing committee also revealed.
This event follows the tradition of previous years and continues to select two male and female athletes among all the contestants who have received the most applause, the most screams from the audience, the most popular audience and achieved outstanding results. One person gave them the "Most Popular Athlete Award" and awarded them a valuable gift. This time the gift was a one-carat natural diamond.
Although everyone later learned that there is essentially no difference between artificial and natural, it is just a gimmick, but now many people still think that this reward is very good.
Of course, since Su Shen is coming and Zhao Haohuan is coming, Li Ning, who has made a lot of money in the Olympics, will definitely come to help sponsor.
This shows that this Magic City Golden Grand Prix is not only not shabby, but also very grand and grand.
The rewards and event scale continued to exceed those of previous years, continuing the good momentum of improvement in each of the previous three years.
Otherwise, the original ticket price is - the 60 yuan student discount ticket accounts for 28% of the total box office; the two types of affordable tickets for ordinary people, 120 yuan and 200 yuan, account for nearly 60%. The maximum ticket price has also been reduced to 1,380 yuan from 1,888 yuan the year before. Although the average price dropped to 190 yuan, the competition still failed to arouse the interest of Shanghai residents. If calculated based on the fact that there are 81,911 ticketed seats and the average ticket price is 190 yuan, the organizing committee, which sold only 50% of the tickets, made about 500,000 to 1 million yuan less at the box office. Don’t think it’s expensive. You have to look at the rest of the ticket prices at the Magic City Stadium that night and this week to see how “lost” this is. Judging from the scalper market back then, the best-selling ticket was Zhou Huajian’s ticket. . Tickets with a face value of 180 yuan are sold by scalpers for 300 yuan each. The tickets for Zhang Xinzhe's concert cost about 500 yuan, but scalpers sold them for 300 yuan.
With this comparison, you will know how low the average ticket price of less than 190 for track and field is.
The low ticket price means the game is not popular.
According to the reporters’ on-site interviews, nearly 60% of the citizens said that apart from Liu Xiang, they are most interested in the "100-meter Flying Man" Jamaican Legion and "Cuban Hurdle King" Robles, but neither of them this time Come to Magic City. Without these two major attractions, the citizens of Magic City paid much less attention to the competition itself.
This time in this time and space, it is different.
Almost all of them have maintained the original fares and fare class divisions.
Moreover, previous surveys have also shown that the citizens of Magic City are not uninterested. At least the 100-meter trapeze competition is ranked among the top two in their hearts.
Now Su Shen is here, one of the best trapeze men in the world and a local sports star, so his appeal goes without saying much.
Due to the lack of celebrities, many domestic media who signed up to come to Shanghai for interviews on the original schedule did not come to interview. The reporter learned at the media registration office that, in addition to the Magic City media, a total of 55 domestic print media had signed up to cover this competition. However, until 7 o'clock last night, only an hour before the start of the competition, less than 10 domestic media had come to report. Ten companies. From this statistic, you know that it is incomparable to the huge crowds and more than 50 media outlets now.
Most of the attention was on Su Shen and Liu Xiang who came to support Su Shen.
"Liu Xiang, what do you think Su Shen can achieve tonight?"
"I think this year's Magic City must belong to Su Shen. There are no top opponents. I think he has the ability to defeat these opponents and help me win the gold medal that I should win. I will also be on the commentary stage. He's cheering for me." Liu Xiang's mood obviously improved a lot. He had completed the surgery early, and after chatting on the yacht, he also gained a lot of confidence in his future.
"What do you think?" The reporter immediately turned the microphone to Su Shen next to Liu Xiang and asked.
"Then what else can I say." Su Shen shrugged and said with an innocent face: "Then I can only listen to the words of the senior boss."
"Just the gold medal."
This wave made the atmosphere at the scene a lot higher.
This is the benefit of having domestic star athletes participate, mobilizing abilities and completely defeating those athletes who are not well-known.
When Su Shen's words spread, it also made the domestic audience feel excited. Outside reporters broke the news and interviewed the audience who lined up to enter. They immediately received an enthusiastic response.
As for Su Shen's opponents, some reporters thought they would cause dissatisfaction or tit-for-tat.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, most people smiled and expressed their friendly, kind and understanding attitude:
Su is very strong and this is his home court. I think there is nothing wrong with him saying this.
He is the new runner-up in the Olympic Games, so it’s normal that I can’t compete with him.
My state is actually relatively average. This time in the Magic City Golden Grand Prix, I just came here to find a feeling, and I didn’t want to compete for the championship.
Only kid Carter vowed to the camera:
I'm only one to ten meters with Soapy.
Su Shen:......
…
All in all, the style of painting has completely changed. Although it is not openly admitting defeat, the underlying meaning is not strong at all, which already explains the problem. Otherwise, look at the situation when the Magic City Golden Grand Prix was first launched a few years ago? Everyone who came over didn't take the host nation's athletes seriously.
I came here just to enjoy the East Asian style and compete and win the championship.
In a few years, things have become completely different.
Completed a qualitative change in sprinting.
Because this Golden Grand Prix is a one-shot shootout, there is no need for everyone to consider the issue of multiple shots in terms of physical fitness.
Regardless of physical fitness, to be honest, not many of them, including Zhao Haohuan, can beat him.
Even now we are still far away from Zhao Haohuan.
At the scene, when Su Shen and the others had finished warming up and were preparing to enter the stadium, it was Liu Xiang who was explaining the situation. Although it was still a typical "Liu style", it undoubtedly made the 80,000 people in the Magic City Stadium feel friendly.
Listening to Liu Xiang's explanation, watching the flower grower's own athletes win the competition.
That's why the ticket price is worth it.
After the special event of the men's 60-meter hurdles, the warm-up ended and the official Grand Prix event entered.
The national women's 100 meters is the second appearance. Chen Juan is the most popular women's 100 meters athlete. Not only is she an athlete who grows flowers, but also because of her figure and delicate appearance. Among all female athletes, she shows that Oriental beauty of the florist athlete.
You can hear how fiercely the men cheered when the camera was closer.
Sure enough, long legs are popular everywhere.
What's more, Chen Juan is that extremely rare sprinting girl with a curvy front and back, which really makes people happy.
Bang——————————————
"Game start."
"Chen Juan is slightly behind at the start. Let's see how she accelerates."
"The acceleration is good, and the combined speed exceeds that of Edwards and Kovac."
"Speed up, make good use of your back range, and accelerate!!!"
"Can you surpass Williams?!"
"Crush the line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Should be second place!!!"
"In the final stage, Chen Juan should have arrived first, surpassing Williams from the United States, and won the silver medal in the Magic City Golden Grand Prix!"
"This is also the first medal won by a Chinese player in this Magic City Golden Grand Prix!"
"Veronica Campbell Brown, the super female flying star second only to Jamaica, has won the 2007 World Championships; third place in the 2004 Olympic Games; second place in the 2005 Helsinki World Championships, etc. Her best personal score is 10.87s , this season’s SB is also 10.87s. If you lose to such an opponent, it is definitely an honor to lose.”
In the final stage, Chen Juan suddenly broke out in the back, catching up with the American star Williams, who had been leading in the front, and ran to second place.
The final women’s results were printed on the big electronic screen:
The wind speed is 0m/s.
Veronica Campbell Brown: 11.01s.
Chen Juan: 11.25s.
Williams: 11.26s.
Chadella Stroup: 11.33s.
Janet Kovac: 11.33s
Debbie Ferguson: 11.33s.
Edwards: 11.39s.
Chen Yu: 11.86s.
Jiang Lan: 11.90s.
Chen Juan is actually quite satisfied with this result, because Veronica Campbell Brown really couldn't outrun her, and her shot was obviously a waste of time in the end. Her strength within 11 seconds is not something she can touch now. .
Therefore, it is quite satisfying to defeat American player Williams and stand on the silver medal.
She is only 18 years old, and there is still room for her to grow slowly in the future.
The fact that the women were able to finish second was a good example for the men's 100-meter race that was about to start later.
Just after the women's 100 meters ended, the electronic broadcast began to play:
"Please get ready for the men's 100-meter runners. Please get ready for the men's 100-meter runners."
Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan, and Lao Yi nodded and walked onto the field.
At this time, you can also clearly see that the entire Magic City Stadium, with 80,000 spectators, suddenly became an octave more enthusiastic.
The noisy atmosphere made the entire Magic City Golden Grand Prix officially enter the state.
