Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 112 Gold Finals

2006年9月18日晚7点30分，万众瞩目的国际田联黄金联赛总决赛100米的比赛即将开始。

As I said before, Monaco is a small country, so there is nothing wrong with it. I have become a country where millionaires are everywhere. I am very happy and no one cares about it.

But this stadium is quite pitiful, especially when it is used as the venue for the IAAF Golden League Finals.

The Louis II Stadium of Monaco is the largest stadium in Monaco. In addition to being the home of the Monaco Football Club and the Monaco national team participating in the French Football League, it often hosts events such as the World Athletics Finals.

It is said that this place has a deep relationship with track and field. Track and field competitions are usually held, even if it is a world-class final, there is no problem, although the capacity is only 18500 people.

But the pit is here.

Things are different this time!
If there are other big stadiums in Monaco, the IAAF will definitely change the location, and it will cost 10, [-], or [-] people.

However, Monaco does not have a bigger stadium. If you want to change, you have to change the venue directly. This is more troublesome. There are many procedures to go through and loss of reputation.

Therefore, although the IAAF has anticipated this situation more than a month ago, it still has not made a decision to change the venue.

The capacity of 18500 people obviously cannot meet the huge demand of the global audience.

On September 9, the number of tourists who came to Monaco exceeded a terrifying 17. This is definitely an unbearable burden for a Monaco with less than 10 people and an area of ​​just over two square kilometers.

Although the money is not lost, the turnover of the casino has more than ten times higher than usual in recent days.

But with so many people crowded together, accidents are easy to happen.

So all the police in Monaco canceled their vacations to maintain order, but there were still not enough people.

Monaco does not have an army, and it is impossible to send an army to help.

Fortunately, Monaco has a bilateral treaty with France in which France promises to protect Monaco's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

It is more troublesome to transfer the army, but the police are still possible.

Therefore, Monaco specially borrowed 500 policemen from France to maintain order at the scene, which ensured that no major accidents such as stampedes occurred.

But this is not the end. The police force is barely enough, but the tickets are still not enough. When the Louis II Stadium was being built, the issue of adding temporary seats was not considered. After all, if you want a big stadium, Europe has it, and you won’t find it. They, therefore, are unsolvable.

The audience who can come here at this time are either perennial track and field enthusiasts, or fanatical fans attracted by the last track and field feast in 2006, how could they easily give up the opportunity to enter the scene.

Therefore, the square outside the stadium became a place for these people to set up camp and snap up tickets.

I don't know how many people crowded outside and asked each other if there were any extra tickets, which caused the price of tickets to rise all the way.

Lewand and Bill are also among these people, and their families are relatively rich, but here, they suddenly feel that their family's money is not easy to use!

The original ordinary ticket of 50 euros has reached [-] euros at this time, and the ticket is still not found.

As for the lady Yingduan at this time, wearing sunglasses, a silk dress, and a big sun hat on her head, she walked gracefully through the crowd and walked towards the stadium. After verifying the tickets, she left happily go in.

At 8:25 in the evening, after inspection, the eight [-]-meter athletes participating in the finals began to enter the arena.

Obike Velu on the fourth track, Su Feng on the fifth track, Powell on the sixth track, and Tyson Gay on the seventh track, as soon as these figures appeared, they aroused loud shouts from the field.

With the impact of the sudden track and field storm in 2006, the popularity of these four people in Europe and the world is quite high at this time, just like in China, because they are Su Feng's opponents, the reputation of these people is also higher than the average Stars are even bigger.

For example, Powell, one of the sports stars who has been invited by a domestic company for its global star program, also aroused huge repercussions when he appeared in China.

Others, like Obik Veru in Europe and Tyson Gay in the United States, have received a large number of invitations. Although they are all on one-year contracts, their income is more than ten times that of before. In the last five or six years, they can even enjoy retirement directly and richly.

This is also one of the reasons why Powell and the others still stood in this arena even though they lost to Su Feng many times.

The attention is too high, and the money that this kind of fame brings is something they can't refuse.

Moreover, even if they lost, being able to stand in such a world-renowned arena was an honor they had only dreamed of before.

You must know that there are countless 100-meter athletes who want to join.

……

Standing on the starting line, Su Feng, Powell and the others nodded to each other. After fighting in Europe for so long, they are considered acquaintances. When they ran to the last race, they had to say hello to each other. The next time they meet, at least It will be half a year later.

At this time, Su Feng was neither sad nor happy, but kept a little excited.

He has already broken the world record, and this achievement is enough to explain to the people who like him in China.

And after so many rounds of victories, he has absolute confidence in himself.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello everyone, now we are broadcasting live the 2006 IAAF Golden League Finals, which can be described as the much-anticipated game for you.

This competition will determine the ownership of the last 50 kilograms of gold.

And most importantly, this game will determine whether Su Feng can become the first [-]-meter sprinter to win the IAAF Golden League Grand Slam.

We can see that Su Feng's face is very calm, his eyes are a bit aggressive and full of confidence.

The tracks next to him are also old friends of everyone. Powell visited China once a few days ago, which also caused quite a stir.

Su Feng, Powell, Obike Velu, Tyson Gay, these are already household names in China.

It was these four people who set off a track and field frenzy that no one expected in 2006.

Fortunately, this track and field frenzy has the existence of us Chinese, and we have an absolute advantage. Our ordinary people can bring it into it as much as they want and cheer for our athletes.

We saw that there were also many five-star red flags on the scene, which should be Chinese people or overseas Chinese in Europe.

The stadium this time is the Stade Louis II in Monaco, with only 18500 seats. Tickets are very difficult to buy. If you can come here, no matter they are Chinese or overseas Chinese, you can see their fists. Patriotism.

We can see that Su Feng seems to have finished the final mental construction and is doing the final warm-up. He chose to run with high legs on the spot, and then jumped twice on the spot to relax his muscles. The time is almost up, and the game should be It's about to start. "
