The magic city of flower growers.
[On the afternoon of May 20th, Beijing time, athletes from all walks of life participating in the 2010 IAAF Diamond League began to check into the designated East Asia Regal Hotel to actively prepare for the competition. Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt and men's 110-meter hurdles figure Alan- Johnson, the American star David Oliver, who just defeated Robles in the cold country Daegu Station, and others settled in the hotel. The newly famous American 200-meter sprint star Ryan Bailey will also complete the check-in procedures in these days. . At around 2:30 yesterday afternoon, Bolt and his party arrived at the East Asia Regal Hotel. The organizing committee specially arranged for three bodyguards to come in the same car. Bolt was nearly two meters tall, and these three bodyguards were also over 1.9 meters tall. , the three of them formed a triangle to protect Bolt, looking very impressive. When Bolt got off the bus, the flower girl specially sent by the hotel quickly came forward and presented him with a bouquet of flowers. The bodyguard took the flowers before Bolt took them and smelled them a few times. Bolt himself was still a little depressed. 】
The current Bolt, the positioning and concept he represents, is no longer a sprinter in a purely sports sense. This also determines that the treatment he enjoys in Shanghai is unmatched by others. And perhaps Bolt was frightened by the airport formation. He was wary at the hotel entrance and specially pulled his hat down to cover his eyes, and then slowly walked into the lobby. For security reasons, all other contestants had to go through the security gate specially arranged at the door of the hotel, but for Bolt, the green channel was wide open, and the Jamaican and his team filed in through the side door.
The first thing he did when he came over was to send a condolence message to his good friend Su Shen, a flower grower.
Of course, this "condolence" needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.
Bolt's visit this time was focused on both the news and the media. The city has put in a lot of effort for this first Diamond League. But he worked too hard. Nearly a hundred reporters went to the airport to interview Bolt. Some reporters even had a quarrel with the bodyguards who were "escorting" the "100-meter flying man".
I don’t know who leaked the news. At around 3:35 pm that day, Bolt flew to Pudong Airport. This time he flew from Daegu, a country in the cold country, to Shanghai. In the Hangguk Station of the IAAF World Challenge held on the evening of May 19, Bolt easily won the 100-meter race with a time of 9.86 seconds. After learning about Bolt's arrival, about a hundred media reporters went to the airport to pick him up. Counting the staff sent by the IAAF Diamond League Magic City Event Organizing Committee, "Lightning" will definitely arrive in Shanghai this time. Gotta go to a big battle.
As soon as he walked out of the airport lobby, Bolt was surrounded by reporters. Many people wanted to interview him, but they were "isolated" by three tall bodyguards. Despite this, Bolt could only slowly move towards the airport gate surrounded by people. The "Lightning" in the 100-meter race finally experienced the feeling of being unable to move even an inch. A reporter complained during an interview that the bodyguard's "escort" was rude. The latter's unfriendly attitude led to a quarrel between the two parties. When everyone saw this, they immediately separated the person concerned, which prevented the scolding from escalating.
When Bolt gets off the plane, he won't be allowed to leave unless he accepts an interview.
Before leaving the airport, Bolt finally stopped to accept a brief interview with the media. When asked if it was possible to break the world record during the race in Shanghai, Bolt shook his head quickly and said: "I don't think so. I won't break the world record easily, and I may leave this hope until next season. .”
"Magic City is a great city, and the track and field fans here are also very enthusiastic. I enjoy everything here, including the competition. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the audience at the Flower Garden gave me great support. , they also sang birthday songs together and wished me a happy birthday, I remember them all! I love you! Thank you to my fans!"
After that, he was finally able to leave surrounded by bodyguards.
After arriving at the hotel, Bolt's team revealed that "Lightning" flew from Daegu to Shanghai, but this will not affect Bolt's competitive state. Bolt himself said that he would have a good rest after arriving at the hotel. Because of the embarrassing experience of missing an appointment last year, Bolt now pays special attention to Sunday's game. According to Bolt's team, Bolt will attend two press conferences before the official race this Sunday. One is an official regular media meeting, and the other is a commercial event for the brand he endorses. The two are not the same. Conflict and timing is reasonable. This also has a lot to do with Bolt's efforts to maintain competitive condition. Of course, if Bolt has time, he will also visit the Expo and appreciate its charm.
It can be seen from these words that Bolt really focuses on rest this time. This season's competition is all about relaxing and running.
Of course, he may have thought that his condition was enough.
This is also a reason.
In addition to the 100 meters in Daegu, earlier this month, Boltto ran against the wind in the 200 meters final of the Jamaica International Track and Field Invitational Championships with a time of 19.56 seconds. While winning the championship, he also broke the competition record. It is worth mentioning that this It was Bolt's first 200-meter run this year. There is also the amazing run on April 26. Bolt helped the Jamaican team win the 4x100m relay in 37.90 seconds and broke the 37.92 set by the United States team last year in the "USA vs. World" 4x100m relay race. record. More importantly, "Lightning" ran an "exaggerated" time of 8.79 seconds in the last 100 meters.
The news is also followed by a series of reports————————
Bolt is in good form, but he has his own ideas about breaking the world record: without the World Series, the 2010 season is a transitional season, and he doesn't want to lose more than he gains due to injuries.
"Both the coach and I just hope that we can get through it safely." Bolt said that his task in the new season is to rest more and will never take the initiative to break the world record. So, when predicting his performance this Sunday, Bolt smiled and said, "I don't know, but I will try my best. I know some people are looking forward to seeing me break the world record, but I think it is unlikely this time." I feel that this season is not the time, this season is too simple for me, maybe I will work hard next season, because next year is the World Championship year." The Jamaican "Lightning" has even taken the initiative to give a definition to the new world record: "I have run to 9.55 seconds. I think the limit of human beings is 9.4 seconds. I hope I can be the first person to reach the limit."
After the delegation of flower growers came over, Zhou Bing looked a little depressed when he saw Bolt's interviews and reports everywhere, and complained: "Those who don't know think this is Jamaica."
Su Shen smiled and consoled him: "It's competitive sports. The winner is king. He is the number one sprinter in human history, absolutely number one, and even the god of sprinting. So this is the treatment he deserves."
"I know he is a sprinter, but... I am just complaining about you." After Zhou Bing said with a pout, Su Shen smiled and said: "I accept it with good intentions, but this injustice still needs to be broken by myself. .”
"Nothing is more important than the truth."
"A victory is better than anything else."
"Yes, victory is more important than anything else...what?!" Zhou Bing turned his head and really wanted to ask clearly. These words were really "scary", but he didn't expect that Su Shen was already walking towards his room.
The moment you open the door to your room.
Su Shen's face finally showed a hint of excitement.
Diamond League this time.
he.
But I definitely didn’t come here to make soy sauce.
Usain Bolt's undefeated 100-meter gold medal after his peak achievement will be broken anyway.
Instead of being an American, why can't we be a flower grower?
Why can't it be myself?
…
Who is the biggest player in this Diamond League?
Then everyone has only one answer: Bolt.
From the moment the Jamaican flying star was confirmed to participate, he was destined to become the most dazzling superstar this Sunday. Judging from the current level of attention, even Liu Xiang can only resign to being the "second actor", with slightly less popularity. There is inferiority. At the airport pick-up yesterday, everyone felt his strong aura, and against his background, the other athletes who arrived on the same plane looked a bit "small". Since most of the participating athletes came from the Daegu Invitational Tournament, there were many athletes arriving in Shanghai at the same time as Bolt, but only Bolt enjoyed the special car transfer service.
Five minutes after Bolt left, a more familiar face to Magic City people appeared at the same exit, and that was the old hurdle king Johnson. This star who was quite popular a few years ago could only carry his luggage alone this year and blindly look for the player bus, and even almost missed the bus because there was no staff to guide him. His lonely figure is quite sad. Compared with Bolt, Johnson seems more approachable when facing reporters. He told reporters that now is the most "comfortable stage" for him. "I have spent the past two years in surgery and recovery training, and now I am in the best condition." When the times are good, I feel that I can still perform at my best." In these five minutes, there were not many of the more than 20 media who had followed Bolt. Finally, under the guidance of reporters, Lao Lanwang found the bus that came to greet him, stuffed his luggage into the suitcase alone, walked onto the athlete bus alone, and then disappeared from the sight of reporters. The drama of "the new guy beats the old guy" was settled after just five minutes.
The next night, Bolt, who had just participated in a business event, finally ended his first day in the Magic City. Faced with the siege of reporters, he once again showed his aura as a superstar.
No one will be turned away.
Bolt likes to be interviewed very much, at least not long after he became famous.
"This is the first time you have returned to your flower garden to compete after the Olympics. It has been nearly two years. Looking back now, what impressed you most about the BJ Olympics two years ago?"
"Besides those three gold medals and the world record, I also remember a crazy night. One night, Maurice Smith and I talked and laughed all night long. Then we went to McDonald's at three in the morning. , and then chatted together until the sunrise. My coach also specifically asked me what time I went to bed the day before. You know, I looked too tired."
"That was before the Olympic Games. Do you usually do that?"
"Yes, I often like to go to clubs at night. I love DJing, but my level is really not that good, haha. In Kingston, I often go to a club called the Quad to party with my friends. You know, Jamaicans We all love music, music is in our souls.”
"In an incredible way, among your opponents, who do you think is better? Tyson Gayon or Asafa Powell?"
"I think it's Asafa. I often spend money to bet on him to win when he plays. However, one thing I want to explain is that if I participate in this game, neither of them will think that I will spend money to bet on him." Note."
"Where's Su Shen?"
"This is a flower gardener. I must choose him, otherwise I might not be able to go to the flower gardener's nightclubs and gourmet food."
"World records are never easy to break. Before Michael Johnson, Pietrumania's record existed for 17 years. Do you think anyone will break your record after you?"
"Hey, just dream. It's not easy for Michael's record to be broken, let alone my record. It would be too difficult for others."
"Everyone knows that Jamaican sweet potatoes have become particularly popular because of you. Is this your favorite?"
"I love fried chicken the most! Especially the fried chicken nuggets from your Imperial City! It tastes like a guilty pleasure! Haha, but among normal foods, pork and sweet potatoes are my favorite."
"Do you like the title Black Lightning? Do you still here?"
"Oh man, I would be anywhere on earth, it wouldn't make any difference."
Looking at Bolt chatting and laughing along the way, the whole world now feels, emmmmmmmmmmm...
Usain Bolt, that's how it should be.
At this stage, even with the exception of Gayin and Powell, no one has dared to challenge Bolt. Even the two of them are just challenging and have not yet defeated Bolt, who has truly entered his peak state.
So.
Su Shen looked at Bolt on the TV, and the light from the screen reflected on his face, as if there was an extra layer of mystery.
If I beat you in the first game at home.
The situation will definitely be interesting.
The peak Bolt who trains seriously will definitely not have a chance, but this does not mean that the relaxed and indulgent Bolt still has no chance.
Su Shen is very aware of Bolt's status this year and also knows what he has done after the indoor competition.
Then let’s give some people a heads up first.
tell him.
I won’t train seriously in the future.
Not sleeping well.
That won't work.
That is to lose.
Before going to bed, Su Shen sent Bolt a text message————
"Usain, are you ready to lose?"
Then shut down, close your eyes, and review.
Go to sleep.
ps: Please vote, the first battle of the season between Bolt and Su Shen is about to happen.
