On May 9, 2007, after several hours of flight, Su Feng arrived in Osaka, Japan.
2007 is a year with many track and field events, and Su Feng has participated in many competitions. Of course, the most important thing is that the World Track and Field Championships will be held this year, which he must participate in.
Then there are the Osaka Grand Prix starting in Japan, the two Grand Prix in the United States, and the Golden League and Grand Prix in Europe.
As for whether everyone will participate in this Golden League again, Su Feng has not yet decided.
As soon as I got off the plane, I was greeted by a crowd of people waving the five-star red flag and the Japanese flag, and the number of people was quite large, at least several thousand people.
Fortunately, the overseas Chinese in China were holding slogans such as those of world trapeze artists, world records, or more realistic slogans such as 9 seconds 75.
The Japanese are a bit of a middle-of-the-road kind of person, and they still have the strongest on land, World Lightning, etc. Some of them are even paired with Japanese animation backgrounds, which is really unacceptable.
Su Feng limped off the plane with crutches. Just this move caused huge cheers from the scene.
It's true that I was on crutches. It wasn't a serious injury, it was just a sprained ankle. Normally I could do without a crutch, but in order to recover faster, I used a crutch.
Therefore, Su Feng did not come to participate in the competition this time. However, because of the prior agreement, Japan Athletic Association officials repeatedly went to Su Feng's dormitory to bow, which made Su Feng and the leaders of the General Administration embarrassed, so he came as a guest.
Already.
The main reason in Japan is that the news of Su Feng's participation has been announced a long time ago. A large number of people who bought tickets came because of Su Feng. It would be a big deal if they didn't come.
Su Feng's fame in Japan is definitely more explosive than Liu Yuxiang's fame in Japan in his previous life. This is also a national characteristic of Japan. As long as you are strong enough, they will bow their heads and recognize you.
In Japan today, Su Feng's status is not lower than that of actors who can perform well, but at the same time, his popularity is definitely higher than that of idols. This is incredible in Japan.
You know, Japan is a hierarchical society, especially in the public circle.
For example, idols have the highest traffic, but the lowest status. If you want to enter the TV drama circle, you have to put in a lot of effort and luck.
Noshi is a treasure in Japanese culture. The source should be the dramas that appeared in China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It reached its peak during the Song Dynasty. It was spread to Japan in the late Song Dynasty and then merged with Japanese local dramas, eventually forming Noshi.
Although Neng Ju's audience is relatively narrow, the actor's status is extremely high.
Even top idols and TV and movie stars must bow politely when they see an actor. If there is any disrespect, then there is no need to mess around.
As for Su Feng, as a sports player, he suddenly has a status that is not inferior to that of an actor and a top idol traffic. This is absolutely unprecedented in Japan.
Because of his injury, Su Feng did not stay at the airport for long. After briefly saying that his injury was not serious and he would resume competition soon, he also talked about his prospects for international track and field. Su Feng was accompanied by the Japan Athletics Association.
We left the airport and arrived at the famous St. Regis Hotel in Osaka.
This is the second-ranked hotel in Osaka City, second only to the Conrad Hotel owned by Hilton. The lowest standard room costs more than 1,500 yuan. The Japan Athletics Association also spent a lot of money this time for Su Feng to come.
Of course, this is the kind of treatment Su Feng gets only when he comes as a guest. If he were a participating athlete, they would not be able to give Su Feng special treatment alone.
"You said you are stupid, let Master Wang take a look again." After staying in the hotel, when the people from the Japan Athletics Association left, He Jun scolded Su Fengdao with a straight face.
Su Feng threw away his crutches helplessly, sat on the bed, and watched Wang Zongfang check the injury on his ankle.
"Master, I don't want to get hurt. This is not an accident."
Su Feng was injured this time. It was said to the outside world that he was accidentally injured during training, and the outside world believed it. After all, this is too common for athletes.
But in fact, this was not a training injury, and He Jun would not have kept a straight face, because the injury was caused by Su Feng when he caught the cat.
About a month ago, the cat stopped eating for some reason and got into a tantrum. Su Feng vowed to catch it, especially if it blocked its way to the high bookshelf.
So one person and one cat started fighting in the room.
Su Feng relied on his nimble steps, fast speed, and preparedness to chase the cat all over the house and was about to catch it.
As a result, the cat made a 180-degree change in the air. Su Feng reacted so quickly. He subconsciously turned to chase, but his ankle couldn't bear it and twisted it directly. This was a bit tragic.
Fortunately, the injury is not serious and I will be able to recover in ten days, but I will not be able to make it in time for the Osaka Grand Prix.
Su Feng was thinking about how to get He Jun to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, Wang Zongfang stood up at this time and said, "No problem, the recovery is better than expected. I am guaranteed to be alive and well in another ten days. Don't talk about him, Lao He. Who
Not when I was young.
I think Su Feng looks more like a young man like this."
He Jun glanced at Su Feng helplessly, and then left the room while talking to Wang Zongfang, letting Su Feng have a good rest.
"Alas" Su Feng looked at his feet, it was a bad start.
On May 10, the nearly 50,000 seats at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan were fully occupied. Countless people from all over Japan came here, wearing the sports uniforms of the Japanese national team, but holding red slogans in their hands.
, it has words like Su Feng or The Strongest on the Land written on it.
"There are really a lot of masters coming this time." Sitting in the box, Su Feng said to He Jun next to him. In addition to them, several people from Su's team also got the box treatment, and there was also a Japanese Athletic Association member next to him.
accompanied by someone.
"Yes." He Jun nodded as he looked at the 100-meter athletes below who were preparing to compete.
The Osaka Grand Prix prize money has always been relatively high among all IAAF-certified grand prix events, and the appearance fee itself is also high, so there have always been many international strong players participating.
Like Liu Yuxiang, he has participated in the Osaka Grand Prix many times.
However, there were an especially large number of people here this time, and the reason is very clear. It is because this is the venue for the 2007 World Championships, and these athletes came in advance to adapt to the venue and atmosphere.
"I heard that this year's Shanghai Golden Grand Prix has more people signing up than before?" Su Feng looked at the lively scene in front of him and suddenly turned to He Jun and asked.
"This" He Jun pondered for a moment. He had known this information for a long time, but he didn't want to increase the pressure on Su Feng, so he never brought it up. But now that Su Feng asked, there was no point in covering it up.
"Yes, there are many people signing up to participate in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix this time. It should be to adapt to next year's Olympic Games in advance."
Although it is now 2007, the 2008 Olympic Games is held in early August, and the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix is held in late September every year.
This means that for those international players, the only opportunity to experience the domestic venues and environment in advance is this year's Golden Grand Prix, so they will participate intensively.
"2008 is indeed coming soon." Su Feng murmured after hearing this.
He knew that He Jun didn't want to put pressure on himself, but he was not that fragile yet.
