Stylistic road

After visiting Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, before going to the Summer Palace, Chen Mingliang had to return to the team for training.Athletes always don't have so much freedom, and they don't really have much time for themselves.

Father-in-law and brother-in-law went back after the National Day.Before leaving, I helped move to a new home, because the renovation has ended, and Yunyang's home still has many things to take care of by his mother-in-law.

The father and son had a hard time for more than a month. The small restaurant and instant noodles at the door were tired of eating, and the mother was still cooking delicious.

The house has moved, but no one has lived there.Ren Jing still lives in the school's dormitory. If he wants to apply for day school, he must first move his household registration to a new house.Chen Mingliang's training task is still very heavy. This month, on the 20th, he will represent the national team for the first time abroad.

The venue was Seville, Spain.The 7th World Track and Field Championships.

In fact, Seville is also a large city in Spain, a bit like Guangzhou and Shenzhen in my country.However, it is not well-known internationally, unlike Madrid or Barcelona, ​​which is famous for football and widely known all over the world.

On October 19, 1999, the day before the departure, the national team held an oath for the track and field team participating in the World Championships.There are quite a few athletes sent to participate this time, and not many are really capable, even if they are training troops for the Olympics.

With a team of more than 50 people, there are really not many points that can make gold. The ones that are really more sure are women's walking, followed by men's walking, then women's shot put, women's javelin and men's long jump.

The previous life and subsequent competition results also confirmed this point. The national team is indeed at a low point. Only Liu Hongyu and Wang Yan, who walked the women's 20km race, won the gold and silver medals.

The remaining athletes are basically soy sauce players, including Chen Mingliang, of course.

Although Chen Mingliang's test results have been able to steadily run within 1 minute and 43 seconds, anything can happen on the field.He has a small reputation in domestic competitions, but after all, he has not really proven himself. This time is his chance to prove the truth.

Before Liu Xiang, no one believed that East Asians of the yellow race could succeed in track and field, especially in sprinting. It was he who broke this inherent concept and gained great honor.

Coach Chen also specifically said, "It is said that your results are already very good, but considering that you are still too young, no specific pressure will be given to you. The goal of this competition is uncertain. It is a surprise to get good results. If you don’t have it, you should have accumulated experience."

"I can't go with the team this time, so take it for yourself. As long as you play normally, not to mention the gold medal, a medal should still be able to impact. I will not formulate the game strategy for you. You can adapt to the scene. Of course, you can directly lead to the end, anyway, your strength is already there."

The country’s economy has developed rapidly over the years, and the protection of the national team has become more and more perfect.When going abroad to compete, athletes do not pay for themselves. The only requirement is to abide by local laws and customs, to observe the discipline of the national team, and not to run wild.Traveling must be approved by the leader.

There is no requirement for results either, because no results have been achieved in the past. Of course, the track team is still better than the men's football team, at least in the middle and long distance running for a period of time before.

For each participating athlete, the national team also gave a certain subsidy.The money is not much, it is not too small, it is 1,000 US dollars, if you have more money, you can buy a big piece.At this time, it is generally believed that foreign industrial products are still good.

Chen Mingliang didn't have much money to buy a house, decorate, and entertain relatives. At that time, there was less than 10,000 yuan.This time I went abroad and checked my own assets. Some things I didn’t expect. The salary of the provincial team is 2,000 yuan a month, and the salary of the national team is 3,500 a month. They are all paid in the same way. He has entered the national team and the salary of the provincial team. Did not stop.

5500 a month, in this era, is already a high-income group.

Kari still kept a few thousand yuan in deposit, otherwise he would have no confidence in his heart.Chen Mingliang himself also exchanged $1,000 in cash. Athletes go abroad for a certain amount in exchange for foreign exchange. Of course, they can also exchange for reading.

His idea is to buy a bag for his girlfriend. In his previous life, he liked the "Donkey" brand bag to cure all diseases.

Starting from the capital, it’s not too far to Seville, the national team chartered a plane to fly directly to the destination.

Checking in is also an acceptable hotel.It's really a poor family and a rich road. All the expenses when going out are to make people comfortable. It shows that the entire security system is designed very well. It depends on the performance of these athletes.

There are also many sports reporters accompanying the team, and there are also a few interviewing Chen Mingliang.Especially reporters from Dongshan are very eager for athletes going out from the province.The interview started while waiting for the flight.

"Hello, classmate Chen Mingliang! See you again."

"Hello, reporter Li, long time no see." This reporter Li is an old acquaintance of Chen Mingliang.Chen Mingliang knew each other.

"Student Chen has achieved good results in both the 100m and 800m in China. Which events did he participate in this World Championships and what are the goals?"

Nonsense, you have a schedule in your hand, and you ask me what events I participate in.

Of course, you can't talk nonsense about the interview, just click and stop.

"I only participated in the 800m this time, and the specific goal has not yet been set, but I want to be able to make a breakthrough in this project."

"Does breakthrough mean to win a gold medal"

"It's not that high. It's a personal plan to get a medal."

"As the domestic 100-meter record holder, why didn't you sign up for this event in this World Championship." This is what Li reporter thought.The first person of 100 meters cannot participate in 100 meters, which is abnormal.He is also preparing public opinion for the Olympics. He knows more than Chen Mingliang. If he can't participate in the competition this time, he may not have the chance to participate in the Olympics, so he must fight for 1.

"It may be that my results have not yet made a breakthrough. Although my previous main event was 100 meters, the 800 meters performed better. Besides, I am not a sprint team."

Chen Mingliang also understands, but he can only say something implicitly.

The reporter also wanted to dig deeper. Chen Mingliang said he was tired, could he take a break?

Faced with such a polite athlete, who is a fellow villager, it is natural not to continue to ask questions, otherwise, he seems to have a routine.

Let's wait for good results and talk about other things.

In Spain, the urban infrastructure construction in developed countries is relatively complete, but there are not many high-rise buildings, which can only be said to be relatively clean.

Chen Mingliang had also seen foreigners in his previous life, but not so many.Ah, beautiful Spanish girl.

Chen Mingliang's first international competition kicked off.
