"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has arrived in Berlin. Welcome everyone to take this flight. I hope everyone will reunite in the blue sky in the future..."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after transferring, everyone arrived in Berlin.
Berlin is the capital of Germany. It is located in the northeast of Germany. It is not only the capital of Germany, but also its largest city, political, cultural, transportation and economic center, with a population of about 3 million. Berlin is surrounded by the state of Brandenburg.
The Pree and Havel rivers flow through the city. The city center coordinates are 52°31′ and 13°2′ east longitude. Berlin is one of the sixteen federal states in Germany, and together with Hamburg and Bremen, it is the only three city states in Germany.
.
As soon as we arrived in Berlin, everyone felt the rigorous style of the Germans.
Everything is meticulous, very formal, and quite... clean.
Especially for such a large-scale sports meeting, the whole thing feels quite orderly.
Compared with the last time I went to Osaka to participate in the World Championships, this place is obviously more stable and slightly serious.
Because it’s not 2013 yet, Germany is still relatively “pure” because they accepted 1.23 million immigrants in 2013. In addition, Germans’ consumption is more individualized and they don’t compare with each other. People who follow fashion first choose their own.
They choose brands according to their preferences, and will not be easily influenced by others or follow big-name celebrities. Therefore, you will not see many LV handbags or luxury watches and other decorations on them for the time being.
The overall feeling is still relatively similar to the German impression I have.
"Since Berlin is far away from Beijing and there is a time difference of 6 hours, taking into account the athletes' adaptation issues, we arrived in several batches according to the schedule." Toyoki immediately began to hold a press conference to introduce the Flower Planting Team.
The specific arrangements and preliminary preparations for the first trip to Berlin: "Actually, the first batch of race walkers arrived in Italy on August 1. On the one hand, they adapted to the time and climate of Europe and trained with coach Damilano for a period of time."
Milano mainly helps us master the skills before the game and be in a better state to compete."
"In addition, the discus throwers also had a training camp near Frankfurt for more than a week through the help of the famous coach Karl. We have always had a cooperative relationship with Karl. He mainly provides some guidance to our athletes in terms of training concepts and technical understanding.
"
"Our group left Beijing on the 11th, mainly including hurdles and sprints. The other two 20-kilometer race walkers have already arrived in Italy. Because they were ahead in the competition, they came out early. Today there are more than 10 people coming from the imperial capital.
The competition is relatively late. The last group will come on the 18th, mainly the women’s marathon.”
"We stayed at the Eastrel Hotel this time. This is a five-star super hotel that can accommodate more than 1,000 people. However, it is a full 23 kilometers away from the Olympic Stadium, which is equivalent to staying in the Imperial Capital.
Tongxian County is like competing in the Bird's Nest." Toge Shuyong joked: "I guess everyone has to get up early, sleeping in is absolutely not allowed."
"The stadium is 23 kilometers away from our hotel. If there is no traffic jam, it will take 20 minutes. However, there will be traffic jams in Berlin commuting to work, and it may take an hour. This requires our special attention."
When asked about being in the same hotel as the U.S. team, Toyoki said: "We are not in the same building, and it is quite troublesome for the U.S. team to come. The place is heavily guarded. There are armed police patrolling every corner of the hotel 24 hours a day.
They say triple protection, but actually I feel we don’t have this need.”
"Can I take the subway?" a reporter asked.
"That's not even possible." Yu Toyoki shook his head and said: "Although Berlin's public transportation facilities are very developed, even so, it is impossible for us to take the subway from the hotel, because the hotel is almost at S42
The end of the line, and the Olympic Stadium is right at the starting point. If you cross the entire Berlin, in addition to needing to change trains, it will probably take more than an hour. It is better to charter a car directly to go there."
Of course, Isamu Toyoki was also asked about the new false start rules that were recently set in Berlin. He replied: "The IAAF has recently had many new policies, including the severe measure of "disqualification for one false start" just introduced.
, but I think this is a good thing, so that no one will cause trouble."
"False starts are not allowed. In fact, for us athletes, not only is there no harm, but it is a good thing. Because this way we don't have to worry about someone making trouble during the game. Some athletes like to make reasonable use of the rules to make false starts during the game and give others a chance."
Make trouble. In addition, jumping the gun is actually not good for the event itself. It can easily delay the game and delay the time, which often affects the normal progress of subsequent games. In fact, it is better this way. Everyone starts with real swords and guns.
There is a possibility of a false shot. Anyway, in the end, it all depends on strength and who practices well. Wouldn’t it be better this way?” Yu Toyoki said: “Everyone has seen that our country’s athletes rarely jump ahead.
Things, so it shouldn’t have much impact on us.”
"And Berlin won't implement it this time. I believe Daegu has already adapted to it in 2011."
"May I please guide Feng on the first day of the World Championships? Chinese teenager Wang Hao will compete for the men's 20-kilometer race walking medal. As the fourth in the Beijing Olympics event, Wang Hao's best result this year is 1 hour, 19 minutes and 27 seconds, second only to
Two Russian athletes are ranked third in the world. Does he hope to win his first gold medal?" a reporter asked.
"There are many uncertain factors in long-distance walking events, which are difficult to predict. Moreover, Wang Hao still has some injuries on his legs. Compared with Chu Yafei, he is in good condition. We also said before coming out that the Huajia Track and Field Team of this World Championships will not be able to predict the future."
We face great difficulties due to injuries and various reasons, but the team still requires athletes to strive to show a fighting spirit and strive to perform at their best." Yu Toyoki seems to have learned the lessons from the last North Olympics.
, it is actually a good approach to no longer hide and ambiguity about athletes' injuries. The previous approach is actually not suitable for today's athletes and times.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone needs to know the information to provide athletes with better protection and understanding.
"Where is Liu Xiang? What is his goal? Su Shen said he might win the gold medal this time. What do you think?" the reporter continued to ask.
"Athletes must encourage each other, and it's understandable that Su Shen and Liu Xiang have a good relationship." Yu Toyoki's personal abilities have obviously grown a lot since 2008, saying: "But as the team leader, we
I can't say anything for sure. If Liu Xiang is still healthy, we will definitely be full of confidence. But now we all know that Liu Xiang is in the recovery stage from injury. Although he also ran a good result of 13.09s in China, this
The results still lack some competitiveness on the world stage."
"We are cautiously optimistic and believe that our goal is to reach the finals."
"What about Su Shen and the others? Do they have any goals and plans for this competition?"
"As for the sprint team, it's hard to say. You also know that Beokusu Shendu has won the silver medal. If it goes higher, wouldn't it be a gold medal? I think Usain Bolt will disagree with this."
After speaking half-jokingly, Toyoki ended the press conference and finally said: "I hope we can achieve good results this time, break the points record in Osaka, and create greater glory."
After landing, the IAAF said that the Flower Planters' track and field team may have no achievements except sprinting.
Don't think that this statement cannot be made by the IAAF. In fact, their original timeline was even more exaggerated, and it was simply said that almost all track and field athletes from the Flower Planters gave up.
In comparison, do you think the above one seems to be a bit passable?
For example, in the official information distributed to reporters and media, the IAAF devoted very little to the field of athletics, and most of the focus was on the North Olympic silver medalist Su Shen.
"Within the search range of our new star "radar", there is almost no trace of the track and field athletes of the Flower Planters. After Liu withdrew due to injury at the Beijing Olympics, people could easily draw a similar conclusion. Except for Su, they
Probably nothing."
At the same time, in their official information, four athletes with big heads were listed and introduced separately. They are -
Russian pole vault "Queen" Isinbayeva, Ethiopian long-distance running star Bekele, Jamaican 100-meter "flying man" Bolt and "Little Cuba" new hurdles king Robles.
As an unreliable Olympic gold medalist, Robles is in the limelight. At this World Athletics Championships, Robles's only goal is to win the championship, in order to become the second person after Liu Xiang to achieve a "world record" and "Olympic champion".
A "Grand Slam" player who combines "World Championship Champion". IAAF analysis pointed out that Liu Xiang's absence from the men's 110-meter hurdles competition has eliminated the biggest stumbling block for Cuban teenager Robles' road to coronation, with a winning probability of 91
%.
In the eyes of the IAAF, with Liu Xiang in front and Su Shen behind him, the two of them have almost become "synonymous" with track and field. Official materials mention my country's track and field twice, and Liu and Su are both keywords. Although we Our track and field team had achieved brilliance at the 1993 World Athletics Championships in Stuttgart, winning four gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze medals. However, the IAAF did not mention us at all when reviewing the competition.
In our own data, the main competition events are divided into four this time, namely: men's 20-kilometer race walk, women's discus, women's hammer throw, and men's 100 meters.
Obviously Liu Xiang was not included among them.
But this was actually discussed with Liu Xiang, and Su Shen also thinks there is no problem. At this stage, it is not appropriate to place too much emphasis on Liu Xiang's official certification. Because he has already said it in his own name, and the official will be more cautious.
.
When Liu Xiang becomes a blockbuster, that's when people will be surprised, and the effect will be even better.
Sometimes when people have no expectations, they will be greeted with bigger surprises.
As for the 100 meters, the official prediction is as follows: The Jamaican flying man, an alien, invincible on earth, has the possibility of winning when almost no one else has, and the probability of winning is 95%. Bolt also has the highest probability of winning in the official Berlin information this time.
a player of.
The remaining players are arranged in this way. Tyson Gay, the master who is second only to Bolt this year, may be the only one who can threaten Bolt. But similarly, besides Bolt, there are also
There are not many people who can threaten him, and the probability of winning is 4%.
The third one is...Jamaican flying star Asafa Powell, his probability of winning is 0.5%.
Fourth is Su Shen, with a winning probability of 0.45%.
Berlin officials may not think there is a problem with this arrangement, but obviously many people are not satisfied with it.
Because Su Shen is the silver medalist of Bei Olympic, wouldn't it mean that you are not giving face if you line up like this?
Moreover, Su Shen is now the face of sprinting in Asia. At this time, the whole of Asia has begun to support Su Shen. I feel that this ranking is really unreasonable.
But Berlin officials said: This is a decision they made after careful screening and will not be changed because of anyone.
Good guy.
It's okay if you don't say it. Since you, as the official, have said so, then Su Shen, as the person involved, has to come out and say a few words.
After all, he is indeed the face of Asia now.
The soul of the entire Yellow Race Dash.
"I think it doesn't matter how the Berlin official ranks me, but I personally think that I should still be competitive for medals." Su Shen shrugged and said to the camera: "But at any rate, I am still higher than Brother Xiang, Xiang.
I only have a 0.05% chance of winning the championship. He is the world champion and world record holder, so I am already satisfied."
Liu Xiang was next to Su Shen, and the two of them were interviewed together.
When Liu Xiang heard this, he quickly joined the conversation, nodded and said: "Then let the IAAF see what results those of us with only a few or a few percent chance of winning can achieve."
Liu Xiang was still angry because he did not succeed in joining the IAAF.
If he hadn't been injured in Bei'ao, he should have been able to catch this easily, but in the end, he was beaten directly by him because of a game.
Although he didn't say it, he still didn't feel happy.
This time the official rankings actually have some influence from the IAAF in them, and they just have the energy to come together.
Having said that, it was obvious that the two of them were "looked down upon" this time.
As for the interview, it has not made any splash internationally so far.
But a week later.
Maybe not necessarily.
ps: Two chapters first~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rankings and probabilities of these major bosses are all real back then. Just look at how Su Shen and the others came to Berlin, changed history and turned the world upside down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The competition begins and the battle of speed is about to begin!!!!!!
