During this period of time, because there was no competition for the time being, everyone took the time to go to Canada, the country of the Maple Leaf.
Because the 13th World Youth Athletics Championships are being held here.
Moncton.
Moncton is a city in the Maple Leaf Country, New Brunswick, northeast of St. John's and on the banks of the Petique River. The urban population is 145,000. The cultural history of Moncton Acadia can be traced back to the 17th century. The people of Moncton have inherited the advantages of their ancestors and combined them with the cheerfulness of the people on the east coast of Canada, so they are particularly hospitable.
Of course, what many people care about is whether the girl is hospitable or not, so it’s hard to say.
"They say this place is warm and hospitable, but I don't think it's very 'hot' at all." After Zhou Bing got off the plane, he looked at this Moncton girl and pouted and said, "It's not worthy of the name."
"Maybe they are just not enthusiastic about you." Su Shen pointed at Zhao Haohuan. Seeing that he had begun to be chatted with by local girls, Zhou Bing immediately became "angry" and said: "Tsk, you really have no sense! In addition to being taller than me, A little handsome, a little rich, what else?"
"For the evil capitalist society."
"That's enough."
Zhou Bing:......
When they came to the hotel, Su Shen paid for it out of his own pocket, so that everyone could have more money, live better, and have better facilities to maintain daily basic training. It's all worth it. You can't forget about your own important things just because you came to watch a game or cheer up.
Usain Bolt's schedule of wandering around, doing multiple activities a day, and only having time to exercise at night is not advisable.
When they watch games, they only watch some targeted games, which still doesn’t take much time.
After all, track and field competitions come and go quickly. Except for long-distance running and marathon, there are few long-term competitions.
This time in Moncton, starting on the 19th, 170 teams and 1,500 athletes came to participate in the competition.
The World Youth Championships have been held every two years since 1986. No one must be older than 20. It is also known as the "cradle of future stars" for track and field stars. Many of the world's top track and field stars have emerged here. For example, Bolt, Su Shen in this life, such as the 4-time world championship champion and 2-time Olympic champion in long-distance running, the "distance running emperor" who still holds the marathon record, Gebr Selassie from Ethiopia, that is The first World Youth Championship in Athens shined and won the championship.
There are a total of 22 events for men and women in the World Youth Championships in Moncton this time. A total of 23 Chinese team members participated, 11 men and 12 women, competing in a total of 15 events. In the sprint team, Xie Zhengye and the women's Wei Yongli will participate in the competition.
In the history of our country, we have won a total of 35 gold medals so far. The first gold medal was won by race walker Wang Yan. She won the first World Youth Championship in Athens in 22 minutes, 03 seconds and 65 seconds, opening the first scene of the World Youth Championship in my country. . Except for the seventh time we won 7 gold medals in one go, this data has not been surpassed yet. Of course, Liu Xiang, the first flying man in the track and field straight event, also came out of this competition. In October 2000, 17-year-old Liu Xiang won the second place in 13.87 seconds and began to move towards the world stage. The next year, he won the world championship He won his first world championship at the University Games and set a new world youth record in 2002 with a time of 13.12 seconds. The record remains unbreakable to this day.
Not to mention now, in the next ten years, it is impossible for anyone to touch it.
At present, the domestic track and field industry is booming, and naturally many people have begun to pay special attention to it. In addition, people like Su Shen have been watching TV and computers all year round, which must have brought a large fan base. It's a pity, Su Shen remembers, that at this World Youth Championship, our gold medal record was terminated, and no one won the gold medal.
Many people originally had absolute strength and were the number one seed, but they made mistakes and suffered a sharp decline in international competitions.
Especially in the shot put and long jump, we are both strong gold medalists. Unfortunately, we did not perform at our usual level, or even performed worse than usual, which is naturally quite a pity. As for Japan, this time they will get a gold medal. If Su Shen remembers correctly, it was the 200-meter race. The Japanese athletes came from behind and defeated the sprint gold medal that was previously thought to be Omi's default. Although this race There are not many super strong men, but he still took advantage of him.
He still performed at the world's top level for his age.
This person, people who pay attention to track and field, must still have some impressions, this person is Iizuka Shota.
This is also the first time that a Japanese male athlete has won the championship in this competition. The Japan Mainichi Shimbun published the response of Susumu Takano, the chairman of the Strengthening Committee of the Athletics Federation, who said: "His acceleration and agility in the second half are... "Half, he is a good talent for the London Olympics" and other comments, which means that Iizuka Shota's 184 cm, 78 kg body makes him stronger in the second half of the game.
Iizuka Shota's performance in the past two years has also been exponential. In Japan, he has been called the "Satsuki Shingo II".
Although he is still a freshman, his performance this year has improved by leaps and bounds. Last year, it was only a mediocre 21.01 seconds. This year, he has opened 21 seconds many times in a row. The most powerful shot even reached 0.6 against the wind, 20.58s.
Compared with Xie Zhengye's current performance, this result occupies a great advantage.
In terms of the entire competition, there was a gap between him and Xie Zhengye last year. This year, as he entered college, his developmental advantage fully began to unfold, and he immediately overpowered Xie Zhengye. After all, Xie Zhengye was born in 1993, 2 years and several months younger than the former.
Xie Zhengye will only turn 17 next month.
But the game is a game. Since you have come to the World Youth Championship, you have to accept the cruelty of this game and you have to compare yourself with those who are older than you. At the World Youth Championship in Imperial City, Blake was the same way. He had nothing to say.
Now that we are here, we can no longer consider this developmental injustice.
The Japanese media finally had a rare moment of arrogance this time and began to promote Iizuka Shota's bravery. And half a month before the start of the World Youth Championship in Moncton, they publicly began to say for the first time——We want to Bold words that make history.
When asked about Xie Zhengye, a flower grower, Iizuka Shota's coaching staff didn't take it seriously at all, saying: "We are competing with adults this time. Although Xie Zhengye, a flower grower, is the king of the World Junior Championships, he will not be able to compete at the World Youth Championship. Sai, all this won’t work.”
"This is a grown-up game."
"It's not for minors."
Faced with this topic, it seems that what they said is not wrong. After all, Xie Zhengye’s current best result is 20.75s set in the Magic City Diamond Competition, which is very good. He has also created 20.70+ results many times in China, opening 20.80 s, but due to the lack of sufficient competitiveness in domestic competitions, Xie Zhengye lacked an opportunity to continue to create PBs.
Well now, in this World Youth Championship, all the masters from all over the world are together. It is a good time for Xie Zhengye to show off his talents and unleash his potential again.
And if Xie Zhengye can still get good results in this game, it will also be a huge confidence building for Xie Zhengye himself. Su Shen knows better than anyone how important self-confidence is in the process of top athletes breaking through their limits.
Therefore, Xie Zhengye wants to truly become a "metabolic god" and have a good reputation internationally.
This time in the Moncton World Youth Championship, I must run well.
Prove that even if he faces these young top players who are several years older than him, he can still...
Keep moving forward.
At that time, the name Xie Zhengye would be on the world stage, and the real Xiaohe would be at the forefront.
At this time, Su Shen and his team came over to cheer, and naturally they would not be let go by the media. After all, Su Shen is now a hot figure in the track and field world. He has won the Diamond League this season and defeated Bolt, Gay, and Powell in succession. It is enough He has this card.
Even if you don't come to participate in the competition, you will be completely surrounded.
Su Shen faced the camera, looked at the group of teenagers who were looking at him with great desire, then looked at Xie Zhengye, and decided...
Give him a push.
Add some oil.
Let this kid have more fighting spirit and motivation.
"I am also a player who came out of the World Youth Championship. In the 11th World Youth Championship in 2006, I also entered the world here. There are many people here who may be the stars of tomorrow or my opponents. I hope everyone can Come on, perform well, show your level, and be worthy of yourself."
"Can you answer what you said about your Asian Japanese team? They think you have no chance in this sprint and are just running with you. What do you think?" Facing the reporter's question, Su Shen crossed his hand across his center and looked. Looking in the direction of Xie Zhengye, he smiled slightly and said, "I think the Japanese team is just talking nonsense."
"Since we are all here, we must be optimistic about the players."
"But I remember your contestants are not even 17 yet."
"Yes, there is still one month to go, but..."
"Who told you that minors can't win the World Youth Championship?" Su Shen now falls on Xie Zhengye again. This time the latter also made it clear that Su Shen must be looking at him when speaking:
"In 2002, at the World Youth Championships, Usain Bolt, who competed at home, won the 200-meter gold medal in 20.61 seconds."
What? ? ? ! ! !
Damn it.
Sure enough, with Su here, aniseed is indispensable.
"But that's Usain. That's the youngest World Youth Championship record. He's only 15 years old." A blond reporter from Maple Leaf Country asked with a trembling voice, as if he still wanted to Ask about some big news.
As expected, Su Shen did not disappoint them or the reporters and media in the room. He spoke softly into the microphones in front of him:
"Yes, so the requirements are not that high, right? Being a 16-year-old World Youth Championship champion is enough."
"And I also won the championship as a minor back then."
! ! !
The whole audience was stunned for maybe a few seconds.
Suddenly everyone's eyes widened, because what Su Shen meant...
Holy shit.
Even the domestic World Youth Championship team looked at Su Shen and couldn't help but open their mouths.
It would not be for sixteen-year-old Xie Zhengye.
Underage Xie Zhengye.
Are you really going to win the championship? ? ?
This is a super feat that few people can achieve except Usain Bolt.
After all, during the developmental stage, the body's development will be completely different every year, and the difficulty is already unimaginable.
If this is done, the name Xie Zhengye will at least be known to many people on the world stage.
At this time, Xiao Xie Tongxie, who was in the delegation, was confused.
a certain moment.
He even saw Su Shen on the stage.
The number one super trapeze artist in Asia.
To myself.
Blinked.
This made Xie Zhengye immediately feel that something was on fire all over his body. His spine was like a dragon, and his youthful energy and blood seemed to be soaring into the sky.
