Run Out of My Life

September 22nd at 12 am at Tokyo Haneda Airport.

"This is your first time in Japan?"

Liu Yangyu and Su Zu walked behind the team and chatted in a low voice after they got off the plane. The two of them were far apart on the plane just now, and it was not easy to chat. The coaching staff of the track and field teams in front of them, led by the interpreter in charge of foreign affairs, walked through the security check all the way to the airport exit.

There are not many athletes invited to Yokohama this time to participate in the Track and Field All-Star Game. Except for Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, there are also a few female athletes who are Asian players in the hammer and shot put.

"It's my first time here." Su Zu nodded and looked at the sign of the airport.

"Yokohama is my first time. I have been to the East Asian Games and the Athletics Grand Prix twice before Osaka."

"How are you recovering? Alan Johnson came prepared this time."

"It's alright. When I returned to the Magic City on the 16th, I didn't train for a day, and I had more than half a day of training at other times. Yesterday, I passed the half-course hurdle three times, and the coach gave me a test, and it was almost the same. It's back to the level of about 13.20 seconds." Liu Yangyu said with a smile, "I was quite nervous at first, but now I am much more at ease. A few days ago, I was a little bit nervous."

"I'm about the same, but I don't have as many activities as you." Su Zu pointed to Lao Li, "I'll let the coach and Instructor Yu stop it, it's too tiring."

"My coach also talks too much, and I'm too busy. It's not impossible."

Su Zu smiled, "Control it, he will definitely be able to talk to you about the relationship between you and Director Feng. If we don't get any results in the 2008 Olympic Games, we will definitely be scolded to death. ."

"You think so far." Liu Yangyu glanced at Su Zu in surprise, "Athens just passed."

"I don't think so. The last time I went home, my dad said that if the 2008 Olympics, he must go to the venue to watch my competition. This pressure..." Su Zu patted his chest and pretended to exaggerate. , "It's more exaggerated than in the finals."

"You say that too." Liu Yangyu smiled and said nothing.

Su Zu glanced at him, and stopped talking about this topic. Some things stop at the moment. People are at the peak of their lives at the moment, so they may not be able to hear everything. He turned to say: "By the way, I have something to talk to you back to see if you are interested..."

The two were talking when Li Zhizhong turned around, "Hey, stop talking, the person from the Japanese Athletics Association is here."

When the invited track and field team walked to the pick-up hall, they saw the staff of the Japan Athletics Association holding up the pick-up sign. And beside him, there are several people who seem to be talking and negotiating something. After seeing Li Zhizhong and Liu Yangyu's head coach Sun Jiangping, one of the middle-aged men ran over with a smile on his face, shook hands with the two, and whispered something.

As an athlete, you don't need to pay attention to this kind of thing, just stand behind and wait for the coach, translator, etc. to communicate.

In a few minutes, Li Zhizhong and Sun Jiangping walked back with frowns, and the two sides seemed to be in harmony.

"It's our own people. In the afternoon, I will go to Yokohama Chinatown to attend an event." Li Zhizhong coughed lightly, a little helpless between his brows.

"Be careful later, if there are many people, take care to protect yourself, don't get hurt."

Coach Sun Jiangping then explained that it turned out that the organizer of the Qindao Division of the 2008 Olympic Games held an exhibition in Chinatown in Yokohama, and learned about the flight time of Suzu Liu Yangyu and others, early in the morning Just stuck at the airport, ready to invite the Olympic champion to participate in the "Meet the Olympics, Yang Fanqin Island" event, and sign autographs for this event at Chaoyangmen in China Street.

It is impossible for any athlete or coach to shirk the promotion of the 2008 Olympics.

When I heard that it was for the 2008 Olympics, Su Zu was nothing, but Liu Yangyu was stunned. It was too early to tell Su Zu about the 2008 Olympics. publicity activities. For a moment, his expression flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

…

As Japan's No. 1 Kanto port, Yokohama not only has traditional temples and shrines, Western-style courtyard buildings deeply influenced by the West, but also Japan's most lively and prosperous Chinatown and a charming and cool enough harbor view.

What's more, Yokohama has a very good sports atmosphere. Every year, the local area spends a lot of money to hold various invitational tournaments and undertake various important large-scale events. From the World Table Tennis Championships to gymnastics competitions, baseball and football and other competitions with international influence.

The Japanese writer Miura Shion has a book called "The Strong Wind Blows", which describes the Yokohama Hakone long-distance running relay race, which is based on the sports event "Hakone Ekiden", a sports event that the Japanese people are concerned about.

And from 2000 to 2007, Yokohama International Arena hosted the IAAF All-Star Games, known as the strongest super track and field competition on land.

In Yokohama Chinatown to promote the Qindao Division of the 2008 Olympic Games, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu were surrounded by many overseas Chinese and local Japanese track and field enthusiasts in Chinatown. Su Zu faced more enthusiastic audiences than Liu Yangyu.

The Olympic men's 110m hurdles gold medal is heavy enough to even equal the world record. But compared to the men's 100m event and the men's 4x100m relay event, there is still a gap in popularity.

Su Zu even saw someone in the crowd play the strongest banner on land, and he didn't know any Japanese like ten seconds. After all, the 10-second mark is of extraordinary significance not only to the Chinese people, but also to Japan, to Asia and even to all the yellow races.

Ito Koji, who had high expectations at the time, ran a full 10 seconds, which was really only a little bit, and almost became one of the lingering shadows in the hearts of many Japanese.

The "Meet the Olympic Games, Yang Fanqin Island" in Chinatown continued until 4:30 in the afternoon, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu shook their sore arms and had no time to catch their breath. The interviewer appeared.

TBS TV is one of the top five private TV stations in Japan and the designated broadcaster of the IAAF All-Star Game in Yokohama. In order to show respect and support the work of the organizing committee, this interview is naturally inevitable.

In the interview room prepared by TBS, the interview outline handed over by the other party was very long, with more than a dozen questions, most of which were related to the Olympic championship, personal life and impressions of Japanese track and field. kind.

However, at the end of the interview, the TBS TV host suddenly threw a bombshell, "Are you against doping?"

“I am firmly against doping. If doping is added to the competition between players, the competition will become unfair and lose the meaning of sports. "Liu Yangyu said it very seriously and firmly.

"So Su Zu, what's your opinion?"

"Of course I oppose." Su Zu replied lightly, the host suddenly asked a question beyond the outline, and the meaning of the words was already clear.

Sure enough, the host refused to forgive and continued to ask questions. Su Zu stood up and interrupted the other party directly.

"Sorry, time is up, we have a game tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Su Zu didn't bother to pay attention to each other, and Liu Yangyu left the interview room directly. There is no need to continue this obviously malicious interview.

The next morning, Yokohama Arena held a special ceremony before the game. Japanese hammer player Hiroshi Murofushi won the Olympic gold medal with an olive branch on his head.

The gold medal was cancelled because the former gold medalist Hungarian Anus refused to participate in the drug test. The two bottles of urine samples provided by Anus after the game came from two people. When tested for drugs, Anus refused. Anus announced his retirement immediately after returning to his hometown and refused to hand over the gold medal. The Olympic Committee tried to do a drug test on him in his hometown, but it was ultimately unsuccessful due to opposition from the local villagers.

At 9:00 am, after Hiroshi Murofu's hammer gold medal was reissued, the Yokohama IAAF All-Star Game officially kicked off.
