International track and field has been in turmoil recently. The smoke from the Rome Golden League has not cleared yet, and the Bergen competition will start in two days.
Bergen is the second largest city in Norway and the largest and most beautiful port city in Norway. In 2000, it was selected as the "European Capital of Culture" by the United Nations.
The city of Bergen is located on the steep fjord line on the west coast of Norway, leaning on the harbor and seven hills. The urban area is adjacent to the Black Bay and leads directly to the Atlantic Ocean. The scenery is beautiful.
Its charm is demonstrated in theatre, dance, music, art, food.
The main architectural tourist area of Bergen is near the port. In the north, there are many ancient buildings from the Hanseatic League era in the Middle Ages. In the south, there are modern shopping streets, where ancient and modern times are perfectly blended.
After the game in Rome, Su Feng and the members of the Su team came here and stayed at the Castle Hotel in the north of Bergen. They trained at the University of Bergen in the northeast, which was very convenient.
At this time, Su Feng and Qian Mengli were holding hands and walking along the coastal streets. In this small town, which is different from China's megacities, the pace of life is slow, the scenery is beautiful, and people's mood seems to have become lazy and very...
Comfortable.
"I have doubted it before. Are you sure you are not traveling in the Golden League? Seven games is equivalent to several months of in-depth travel."
"No way, I trained in the gym when I came here before. It was because of you that I finally came out in Paris. I don't have time at ordinary times. But the boys in the team still have the time and mood to come out and have fun from time to time.
, Anyway, I am the one competing, and they are not the ones who face the pressure."
"What about now? Why did you come out?"
"Isn't this because you are here? Moreover, at my current level, it is difficult to increase my performance by training between matches. I mainly focus on maintaining my condition, and there is no need to train like that anymore.
And it’s not like you didn’t know how hard I trained during my winter training.”
"Bolt is still participating in this competition. Although you won the last competition, I feel that you are still under a lot of pressure. After each stop, your hearts must be iron-clad."
"No way." Su Feng smiled, "I'm just used to it. No matter how much pressure I put on myself, it's useless. Just think about it this way. Then you're used to it. Competitive athletes, especially short track events, who
It's not like this."
"But you and Bolt have so much attention now. When you win a game, there will be a burst of cheers in the country. This is different from ordinary athletes."
"That's true, so my pressure is greater than that of ordinary athletes. This is the corresponding responsibility after receiving attention."
…
July 1, 2009, Bergen, Norway.
Starting a week ago, this Norwegian city has ushered in an unprecedented tourism boom. People from all over the world have crowded the city, and every hotel is full. Today, this situation has reached its peak.
.
Bran Stadium, a stadium that can accommodate 30,000 people, has almost no empty seats at this time. Even if there are empty seats, it is because the spectators who bought tickets have gone to the toilet, rather than there being empty tickets that have not yet been sold.
Looking outside the stadium, we can see that there are more than 20,000 spectators gathered in front of several large screens outside the stadium. Some are singing and dancing, and some are sitting on the ground, all waiting for the men's 100-meter race to begin.
In the stadium, the women's 1500-meter race has just ended, and the athletes in the men's 100-meter race are already in the corridor ready to go out at any time.
Because Su Feng has decided to participate in all the games of this Golden League, CCTV has also specially purchased the broadcast rights so that domestic audiences can see Su Feng's game information at any time.
In this competition, Bolt and Su Feng were still the protagonists, but Powell was absent. It was said that he had a calf injury and had to prepare for the World Championships in August, but in fact it was due to too much psychological pressure. After retiring from the competition, Powell was not known for being mentally tough in his previous life, so his behavior at this time is understandable.
His replacement was Carter, who was ranked tenth in the world at this time.
When they walked out of the corridor, Su Feng and Bolt received the warmest cheers. They could win applause from the audience with just a wave of their hands, and the audience in the auditorium came from all over the world. This was enough to show that Su Feng was The influence of both men in the world.
"CCTV, CCTV, what we are showing you at this time is the scene of the Bergen Station of the Golden League. Su Feng has already walked out of the tunnel, and his opponent Bolt does not seem to be affected by the loss to Su Feng in the last game. With great influence, he waved to the audience with ease.
The match between Su Feng and Bolt is really something that people never tire of watching, especially during the live broadcast. Every time we will guess whether they will break a new record.
However, as Chinese audiences, and probably also Jamaican audiences, we still seem to be suffering a bit.
Although Su Feng has beaten Bolt every time so far, the gap between the two is really negligible. They are absolutely at the same level, and either one can win. This will undoubtedly bias the audience towards victory. Very difficult.
But I think the most difficult thing is for the two athletes. Su Feng is China’s business card, while Bolt is called a hero by the Jamaicans. The outcome of the two has so much to do with it that it is impossible not to put pressure on them.
We can only hope that Su Feng can withstand the pressure and perform well.
Okay, we see that eight athletes are already standing on the starting line. At this time, some have taken off their coats, while others are warming up in place with their coats on.
Gatlin was in a strange state at this time, maybe he was a little nervous. After taking off his coat and stretching a few times, he sat on the chair behind him, put his hands on his knees, and said nothing.
It seems that this kind of global attention does put heavy pressure on athletes.
Okay, we saw the referee's flag, the game should be about to start."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the sound of everyone getting ready came out on the field.
"On your marks!" Su Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then returned to the starting line and stepped on the starting block.
At the moment just now, he suddenly felt tired. After this game, he will return to China to start preparing for the World Championships, and then he will come back to participate in the five-stop Golden League.
But on second thought, he abandoned this idea. The competition between him and Bolt has just begun. The next ten years were the era of Bolt's dominance, and now, it is the era of competition between him and Bolt!
Whether it is for himself or for the country, he cannot relax in any way.
