Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 80 Moscow World Indoor Athletics Championships
On March 3, the team participating in the No.8 IAAF World Indoor Athletics Championships set off for Moscow at BJ Airport after holding a press conference.

Although the influence of the Indoor Championships is far behind that of the World Championships, many people did not even know there was such a competition before, but because of the relationship between Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang, the domestic people were exaggerated by the media to popularize the Indoor World Championships The specific situation and status of the people, and then just as the General Administration and the Field Management Center thought, almost all the eyes of the people were fixed on this.

The popularity of this topic can be seen from the number of reporters at the press conference, ratings, and the number of comments made in the discussion area of ​​the website.

After seeing this situation, several major leaders secretly wiped off their cold sweat.

Although those involved in track and field know that the World Indoor Championships is actually a second-level event of the IAAF, but after all, there are three words, the World Championships. After the media deliberately avoids the important and ignores the light, it seems to be the same as the World Championships in the hearts of the domestic people. second only to the Olympic Games.

Fortunately, they let Liu Yuxiang and Su Feng join in in advance, otherwise, if the track and field team ate duck eggs, many of them would be unlucky with the attention of the whole people.

But to be honest, although the status of the World Indoor Athletics Championships is not the highest level, the requirements are still very high. It is also divided into A standard and B standard. This is also the reason why only 12 athletes can be sent in China. There is really no one!

Liu Yuxiang and Su Feng didn't like it, and the others couldn't go if they wanted to. Even the ten other participants took it seriously as a rare opportunity for a world-class competition.

After all, it is also a world-class competition. If you can win a bronze medal, you can be said to be the third in the world, and if you can win a gold medal, you can also be said to be a world champion.

After more than six hours of flight, on the afternoon of the 8th, Su Feng and others arrived at Russia's Vnukovo Andrei Tupolev International Airport, which belongs to the southwest of Moscow, Russia, and is 27 kilometers away from the center of Moscow. , is a standard 4F international airport.

Although he had expected it and put on extra clothes, Su Feng still felt the coldness of Moscow as soon as he got off the plane.

BJ's winter is cold enough, but compared with Moscow, not to mention BJ, the three northeastern provinces are about the same.

And the most important thing is that there is very little sun in Moscow in winter, there is very little sunshine, and there are always clouds.

And if the clouds spread out, although you can see bright sunshine, without the greenhouse effect produced by the cloud cover, the temperature will drop rapidly instead.

Well, in short, it's just one word "cold".

After coming out of the airport, the group even met dozens of fans of Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang. They were all Russians. There were not many people. The bus arranged by the organizer will go to the hotel booked by the organizer.

After arriving at the hotel, more than a dozen athletes and their entourage simply packed up, and went to the Moscow Gymnasium to adapt to the venue regardless of fatigue.

Due to the reason of the venue, indoor competition usually only has 4 to 6 tracks, and each track is narrower than the outdoor track. Although Su Feng also used indoor arena training in China, but for him who has been running outdoor competitions In other words, you still have to get used to it in advance.

This is also the reason why many well-known athletes who are already famous in the world are unwilling to participate. The level of the competition itself is not high, and it is not easy to run well because of the track, and it is easy to step on the line and foul.

在3月8日适应了半天，3月9日又进行了一天的适应性训练之后，3月10日早上，苏风拿到了这届比赛最终确认的参赛人员名单。

"Tyson Gay!" Su Feng looked at the name cautiously, "Are the five tigers of track and field going to gather in advance?"
The original Tyson Gay should have started running 2006 meters and 100 meters in the summer of 200, from Stockholm to London, and then from Brussels to Zurich, and then he really became a world famous player after he fought in Europe.

And in 06 when Gatlin was suspended, Tyson Gay became the fastest man in the world based on the IAAF's year-end points because he was involved in the men's 100-meter and 200-meter events.

Unexpectedly, he started running 60 meters now, which seems to be influenced by the butterfly effect.

Yes, it is indeed 60 meters. This is a competition that 100-meter athletes generally participate in. Whether you win an award or not, it is very effective for the training of starting reaction and starting acceleration.

Many famous 60-meter athletes have run [-] meters in the beginning and have achieved good results.

It seems that Tyson Gay is about to run the 100 meters, so he will come to participate in this 60-meter race.

Su Feng also participated in the 60 meters, because there is no 100 meters in the indoor race!This is mainly because the track is short and there will be corners.

There are 26 events in the World Indoor Athletics Championships, 13 for men and 13 for women.

The main events are 60 meters, 400 meters, high jump, shot put and so on.

Su Feng was qualified to participate in the 60 meters, mainly because he ran a 60 meters in China last year and directly reached the A mark.

At that time, he participated in the competition for some tasks, but he forgot about it later, and he never thought about participating in this indoor world championship, but he still came.

As for Justin Gatlin, two months ago, he finally proposed to the IAAF that he may have ingested doping through external contact in the 03-04 competition, which caused an uproar in the United States.

After all, Gatlin is now recognized by the United States as a player who can defeat Su Feng.

Naturally, the IAAF launched an investigation immediately, which proved to be the case, but perhaps because Gatlin reported it voluntarily, or perhaps because of the pressure from the American media, the final penalty was only one and a half years.

Much lower than the eight years in the previous life and then reduced to four years.

In this case, Gatlin will not miss the 08 Olympic Games, and unlike the previous life where the white world criticized Gatlin, this time the media in the United States and Europe are mostly sympathetic to Gatlin.

Su Feng didn't care about Gatlin's participation in the 08 Olympics. If he didn't defeat the five tigers, how could he be worthy of being reborn again.

However, the contrast between the European and American media opened Su Feng's horizons again. In his previous life, the European and American media's double standards against Russia in 2022 had already shocked Su Feng once. This time, he did not expect that they could break through the lower limit again.

Gatling was useless to the United States at the beginning, and he was still a black man, so the media went all out.

Now that Green has gradually withdrawn from the field, Gatlin has become the only one who can defeat Su Feng, which is useful to them, so he tries his best to keep it.

It's a pity that Su Feng was the only one who was reborn, and Su Feng could only suppress the ridicule of the European and American media in his heart.

On the evening of March 3th, after a wonderful opening performance, the Moscow Indoor Athletics Championships officially began!
Because there are only less than 4 days, the schedule of the event is relatively tight.

The men's 60-meter competition was divided into three shots. That night, 36 players from all over the world were divided into 6 groups to compete for the semi-final qualification, and the top two in each group entered the semi-final.

When Su Feng entered the arena wearing a fiery red sportswear, he received the biggest cheers since the start of the game.

At this time, only Gatlin, Powell, and Su Feng can be called the men's world trapeze. Due to various reasons, Su Feng is the only one who came to participate in this competition!
Men's 100 meters is the most dazzling jewel in the crown of track and field competitions. Su Feng is also one of the fastest runners in the world. Especially the fiery red color of the Chinese team uniform is extremely eye-catching. The Russian people immediately boiled up.

Su Feng and the other five athletes in this group followed the staff and walked towards the starting line, waving to the surrounding audience as they walked. Just like in the motherland, every time Su Feng waved, he received even louder cheers.

The relationship between China and Russia has been good since the beginning of the new century, so the Russian people are more envious of Su Feng as a yellow man who breaks through [-] meters in [-] seconds. If Su Feng goes to the United States to compete again, I am afraid it will be difficult to see this neatness The cheering scene was neat.

Standing in front of the starting line, Su Feng habitually looked left and right, but there was still no familiar person.

This is also because Su Feng's vision is high, and those he can remember and recognize are all world-class top masters.

But the other athletes looked at Su Feng differently!
