This year, of course, Liu Xiang gave a speech on behalf of the athletes. The content of his speech was quite satisfactory. Except for Wang Ai, you can't expect athletes who have lived in the small sports circle since childhood and train every day and have no time to study to say anything.
.Wang Ai can tell the truth. At the AFC awards half a month ago, he said "the century of the yellow race", and the gag order has not been lifted until now.
A profound lesson to be taken as a warning! Wang Ai is a negative example, what a painful realization this is!
If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? If you often go to nightclubs, you will go to the urology department in the morning and evening!
After the awards, the invited people all went to the large canteen of the General Administration of Sports to eat. Of course, the "top ten" people sat at the front, at a table next to the leaders. Photos of such occasions are generally not published in newspapers, so both leaders and athletes were relatively relaxed.
, there are a lot of people running around the table below, but there is no one on the "Top Ten" table. Occasionally, someone comes and leaves after saying a few words. No one has the shame to sit here. The achievement is different, it is too obvious.
Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo are a combination, and they jointly won the top ten, so this year's top ten are eleven people. Of course, when sitting at a round table to eat, the order is not so important. It is often the men who come together and the women who eat together.
While chatting, we talked about anything.
Although Li Xiaopeng also came, his interest was obviously not high. He had a chance to surpass Li Ning's total number of championships at the Olympics this year, but his performance was abnormal. In the end, he only won a bronze medal, and the men's gymnastics team also suffered a big decline. So compared to the spring breeze, he was so proud.
Liu Xiang, Wang Ai, and Yao Ming don't seem to talk much. Even Zhao Hongbo is more cheerful than him. After all, the World Championship runner-up, Grand Prix champion, and overall champion are all worthy of mention, and the "Top Ten" is a tribute to the two of them who have persisted for many years.
Total commendation. It’s just that he always talks to Shen Xue, and he is much older than Liu Xiang, Wang Ai, and Yao Ming, so they have less common language. But I don’t know how much he and Shen Xue talk to each other, after all, they have been together for so many years.
Liu Xiang, Wang Ai, and Yao Ming sat together, with Yao Ming as the center, and Liu Xiang and Wang Ai, who were not familiar with each other at all, also chatted.
"I've always memorized ideas." Wang Ai shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiang asked curiously.
"I ran into you." Wang Ai still couldn't forget it.
Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, laughing so hard that he hit the table. He didn't know why his laughing point was so low.
In fact, when the awards were presented, the leaders all felt sorry for Wang Ai. After all, the men's football team was ranked third. He couldn't make it for several consecutive years. The only time he entered was without winning a game, but this time he was ranked third. What a breakthrough result.
, but there is no trick at all.
Yuan Weimin encouraged Wang Ai: The World Cup will be your biggest stage in two years! Two years from now will not be an Olympic year. According to our country’s custom, in a non-Olympic year, of course the major World Cup events will be the most important. And the men’s football World Cup is the most important.
.
In fact, Wang Ai made it to the top ten and finished second. Even more miserable than him was Bai Guanghai, the main contributor to China's first Asian Cup championship. He tied the Asian Cup single-scoring record, but he just didn't get in.
Don’t blame anything else. With so many sports across the country, two football players cannot be among the top ten athletes in one year. When he won the Asian Footballer of the Year last year, he also won the top ten athletes, which is considered good.
And under Lao Bai, there is actually Lao Hao. The old demon has made many meritorious deeds this summer. From his performance to his will, he is qualified to be selected into the top ten. Especially considering the bad situation of the men's football team in previous years, he has a chance. Unfortunately, the men's football team has
The results have improved, and the tastes of leaders and fans have also improved.
Speaking of which, even if the top ten athletes are just for China's own entertainment, think about how powerful a sports country China is? It won 32 gold medals in the Athens Olympics. This is equivalent to only one out of three world champions.
Top ten! If you include Wang Ai, people like Yao Ming who have great influence on projects and are very pioneering but are "shameless" in it, or people like Shen Xue, Zhao Hongbo, who are not Olympic champions, or people who have bronze medals like Li Xiaopeng, the ratio is even higher.
It’s lower. So for many first-class athletes in China, it’s easy to win a gold medal, but it’s harder to win the top ten! The top ten is more valuable than the gold medal.
The three of them were eating and chatting here. They didn't speak loudly or do anything out of the ordinary, but they still involuntarily attracted the attention of other top ten athletes and even more.
Nothing else, these three are the most attention-grabbing star athletes in China's sports world at the moment. This also means that they are the athletes with the strongest gold-earning ability in China at the moment, including both men and women!
Female athletes are still lagging far behind in this regard. Many of China's strong sports are too strong, with too many champions, and each one is worthless. Moreover, such sports have too little influence abroad and affect their future, such as table tennis.
It is difficult for ordinary world champions to accept advertisements. Wang Ai's ability to earn money alone cannot be compared to that of the entire national table tennis team! Unless they participate in variety shows and develop the entertainment field.
And if you include Yao Ming, their salaries, bonuses, and advertisements can surpass everyone who came to the meeting today except Liu Xiang! Yes, everyone!
Competitive sports are so unfair, and they are so generous for you to see!
Liu Xiang's situation is slightly worse. Although he is unfavorable in terms of honors, there is no professional league, so he cannot earn the high salary of Wang and Yao. The only high-paying direction is the IAAF's Golden League, but it is uncertain whether there will be a 110-meter hurdles
It is very difficult to get the final grand prize. Liu Xiang does not have strong opponents in the world, so his income mainly relies on bonuses from governments at all levels and advertising cooperation, which is less than Wang Ai and Yao Ming.
Got a piece.
In addition, in the sprint event, the peak of a career is very short, only seven or eight years at most. Once the peak is passed, honors, bonuses, advertisements, etc. will immediately jump off the building. If you want to maintain your life, you can only rely on the salary from the Sports Bureau.
On the contrary, basketball and football players can stay at their peak for a long time. For example, Hao Haidong was at his peak from his debut until he retired. This determines that he can earn high salaries for twenty years. From this point of view, football
It has advantages over basketball, and Wang Ai joined the professional league earlier, so it must have taken longer than Yao Ming to earn a high salary.
So when the three of them sit together, each of them has his or her own victory, and for a while they become brighter.
Wang Ai's complaint has nothing to do with money. Because in terms of honor, these two are his long-term competitors, and the competition will be even more fierce starting next year. Only one male athlete will be selected in one year.
Especially in the next two years, Liu Xiang will dominate the world, and Wang Ai and Yao Ming can only stare! The only thing Wang Ai can hope for is that this guy retires as soon as possible! But when he thinks about it again, if he retires, Dabai Yang will be here soon.
There are also people like Lin Dan and Ma Long... Just look at the names of these people and you will know that they are not easy to mess with. Look at Wang Ai's name again: Ai, grass!
Fortunately, the influence of the top ten has been reduced after it became the Lawrence Award. Wang Ai can still compete with them in the top ten issued by Xinhua News Agency! The importance of competition cannot be compared with the above, let's compare with social influence! In the selection of the top ten by Xinhua News Agency
, Wang Ai, who is stepping on the ball, is not afraid of anyone, whether it is Liu Xiang who is running around, or Yao Ming, who is breaking through the sky, or shirtless Sun Yang, Lin Dan with a mustache, or Ma Long, who is a gold medal player, he is not afraid of them all!
