Chapter 423: Opening of the 2007 Osaka World Championships

"...CCTV today is the first day of the Osaka World Championships. At 8 am Beijing time, the men's 50-meter marathon has begun. The temperature is still relatively high. It is already 28 degrees at 7 am local time in Osaka, and the climate is also It's wet... Our runners Su Wei, Deng Haiyang, Li Zhuhong, Ren Yunlong, Zheng Yunshan participated in this men's marathon and must die... At 12:10 today, you will be brought to the men's 100m preliminaries. At that time, Chinese sprinter Ye Qin will participate in the competition, so stay tuned..."

On the morning of August 25th, Saturday, many viewers who opened the CCTV sports channel in China saw the sports news broadcasted by the sports news host on the TV early in the morning. During the screen flashback, there will be a live video of the marathon for a period of time. Along the streets of Osaka, you can see a lot of onlookers on both sides.

"Sister, why don't we go to Osaka to watch the game live, didn't Heitan have said everything, including air tickets and hotels."

Chen Ziyuan rubbed her eyes sleepily, glanced at the picture on the TV in the living room, then mumbled her head and walked towards the bathroom.

"You're a dead girl, how will you sleep at home after your vacation? Next semester you will be in your freshman year."

In the living room, Chen Zixi hadn't spoken yet. Huang Hongying, who was sitting at the dining table on the other side, was already dissatisfied. She gave her little daughter a vicious look, and then she said again, "Xixi, I think you are doing this right. School is about to start soon. It’s really a hassle to go to Japan once and again. Besides, Ye Qin has a game over there, and you will be distracting when you arrive."

"Mom, you don't understand, my sister is here, maybe she will break a few more world records." In the bathroom at the back of the living room, Chen Ziyuan poked her head out with a toothbrush in her mouth and said happily.

"Chen Ziyuan!" Huang Hongying's face was stern, and her voice was stretched.

"I know, I know." Chen Ziyuan shrank her head and quickly went back to continue washing. From childhood to adulthood, once my mother shouted out her full name, it was basically a sign of a storm, and she didn't want to touch this mold.

"I've said it, don't bother people and make people mess up now." Huang Hongying looked at the little daughter's appearance, still a little overwhelmed, and muttered in a low voice.

Chen Yunbo, who was drinking porridge at the dinner table, smiled and slowly said: "Ye Qin told me about this. He now has an agent to help take care of it, which is not a hassle. But Ye Qin also said. Recently, the flow of people in Osaka has increased sharply. Everywhere is crowded. It's really a big summer, and I still suffer. It doesn't matter if Xixi refused, and school is about to start recently, I can't get out of it. Next year, next year's Olympics, Our family went to see Yanjing."

"Buy your own tickets and book the hotel. Don't let people pay for it. We are not bad." Huang Hongying's voice followed, glanced at the pattern in the living room, and said, "Yes, Xixi, Will you still be a volunteer at that time?"

"Well, it is estimated that there will be no registration until after school starts." Chen Zixi, who had been sitting on the sofa in front of the TV without speaking, turned her head and replied, "Mom, don't Li Yuanyuan, I am not going to go to Osaka this time. Watch the game."

With that, Chen Zixi pointed to the TV screen, "It's too hot, we didn't seek crimes in the past."

"Yes." Huang Hongying nodded with a faint smile, "When you graduate, I don't bother to worry about where you are going. Well, next year, our family will go to Yanjing to watch the Olympics next year. Tell me, how can the stadium be followed? It's like a bird's nest..."

Chen Zixi glanced at his parents who were eating breakfast, his lips pursed slightly, stopped talking, and continued to watch the game on the TV screen.

It’s only a little bit past 8 o’clock, and there are almost four hours left in the men’s 100 meters preliminaries. This summer, after Ye Qin returned to China, they stayed together for a few days in Yanjing, but then Ye Qin will start preparing for the World Championships. Sai, in order not to disturb the interruption, she went straight home early afterwards.

As for the Osaka World Championships initiated by the younger sister just now, she naturally knows the reason. She would not understand what kind of person her mother Huang Hongying is, but she didn't want to talk about spending other people's money and being gossiped.

She didn't feel unhappy when she arrived. When she really arrived in Osaka, Ye Qin couldn't make time to come, as her father said... It's just that she really wanted to watch him play on the spot.

In the past two years, most of the competitions Yechin participated in were international competitions, and few showed up in China. Because of the conflict with academic time, or it is too far away, she really has less time to watch the game on the spot...

Osaka, Nagai Stadium.

When Ye Qin got off the bus with a backpack on his back, he saw the crowd outside the stadium.

"There are so many people today!" Chen Zhongzhou, who got out of the car behind Ye Qin, couldn't help but startled as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"It is estimated that our Yanjing Olympics next year will be even more lively than this." Zhuang Wei who was accompanying him on the other side exclaimed excitedly.

Yeqin is no stranger to the Changju Stadium. He was familiar with all aspects of the Grand Prix before. However, the scene at that time was still a lot worse than the first day of today's World Championships.

This year's Osaka World Championships is the largest number of athletes so far, with a total of 1978 athletes from 212 countries and regions participating.

Speaking of the bidding process of the Osaka World Championships, it is not unrelated to next year's Yenching Olympics.

When bidding for the Olympics that year, Osaka, Budapest and Berlin were all three countries bidding for the 2008 Olympic Games. However, after Yanjing succeeded in bidding for the Olympics, the goals of these cities were changed to the 2007 World Championships.

Before October 1, 2002, Budapest and Berlin withdrew their bids for the 2007 World Athletics Championships. Osaka became the only city and won the right to host the 2007 World Championships. After the second round of bidding, Berlin, Germany, won the right to host the 2009 World Championships.

Yuan Guohua, the coach in charge, looked at the two of them, but shook his head: "Don't look at the crowds outside. I heard that the sales of tickets for this World Championship are actually not very satisfactory."

In the week before the start of the World Championships, there were reports in the media that there were 46% of the vacancies, especially yesterday's opening ceremony. Several people attended, and the attendance rate was less than half.

There are many reasons for this. The hot weather and the high ticket price are both on the one hand, and the other is that the Japanese team has no particularly strong track and field events that have attracted everyone's attention.

In such a situation, probably as the game progresses, the Japanese team may have a few shining points in track and field events before the return of ticket attendance will appear.

"Japan's track and field performance in recent years has not been particularly brilliant, mainly because there are no superstars."

After participating in so many big and small competitions, Ye Qin is already familiar with track and field, knowing that it involves many public psychological issues.

Japan’s performance in track and field events in the past few years has been unsatisfactory. He learned from the team that after the Japanese 4×100m relay team lost to the Chinese team in the Asian Games last year, UU reading www.uukanshu.com did the same as the Chinese relay team. A lot of hard work, trying to be a blockbuster in this world championships.

It's just that at present, like the Chinese relay team, they have not undergone the baptism of the competition. No one knows what the final result will be. Everyone has not seen a clear performance, and naturally it is not attractive.

Like domestic track and field competitions, there have been no one for several years, and the number of people going to the stadium to watch the game is very small, but since Liu Yangyu's Olympic gold medal, the influence of a superstar can cause a big event to be overcrowded.

Up to now, Ye Qin hasn't participated in many competitions in China. If he did, he would basically cause no less sensation than Liu Yangyu.

"Well, under the sun, don't stay there forever."

The crowd stayed for a short while at the Changju Stadium. After watching the crowds on both sides of the street watching the marathon, Yuan Guohua reminded him.

After speaking, he looked at Ye Qin, "What do you think this time? Both Feng and Yu said you don't want to give up the 400 meters?"
