It is also the host city for daily meetings of more than 200 international administrative centers and more than 1,000 official groups.
Brussels has unique international advantages.
There is an endless stream of tourists and staff from all over the world every year.
In the past few days, the rooms in more than 30 high-end hotels and other small hotels in Brussels have been fully booked.
This is a rare sight for Brussels, which has strong capacity to undertake.
The reason for this phenomenon is Su Feng, who just broke the men's 100-meter world record and ran an astonishing time of 9.48 seconds.
There is also Bolt who also broke the 9.50 mark and became the only athlete in the world to break this mark.
The two have already settled in Brussels and will compete in the IAAF Diamond League Finals to be held today.
In the previous competition in Zurich, Su Feng lost to Bolt in 9.68 seconds and 9.64 seconds.
This resulted in the two having three wins and three losses in six Diamond League games this year, with the same points.
Therefore, the final finals is not only the outcome of a game, but also the outcome of the entire Diamond League season for the two of them!
This undoubtedly adds an extra layer of gimmickry to an already incredibly attractive game.
Of course the organizers will not give up on this and have already started publicizing it after the competition in Zurich.
At this time, Brussels, as the headquarters of the European Union, was filled with flags from all over the world.
The most numerous of them is undoubtedly China’s five-star red flag.
Among them are students studying in Europe.
For these international students, Su Feng is of course their idol.
When I met Europeans in the past, I would occasionally tell them about Jack Chen and Bruce Lee.
But now we have to add a "SU". At the same time, it is not a kung fu movement, but a thumb.
This is the admiration of white Europeans for Su Feng, who is a yellow race and a Chinese, and they also admire them, making them proud of him.
So they came. According to statistics, tens of thousands of Chinese students studying abroad in Europe came to Brussels just to watch the match between Su Feng and Bolt.
Then there are the ordinary Chinese people.
In 2013, China had begun to show its ferocious power and had initially completed its rise as a great power. There were already more and more wealthy people in China.
There are more and more people who can afford to come to Europe to watch Su Feng play.
According to preliminary statistics, the population in this area is tens of thousands.
King Baudouin Stadium, a stadium that can accommodate 50,000 people, is already filled with spectators from all over the world.
Among them, the red color composed of tens of thousands of people is particularly eye-catching.
At this time, Su Feng stood in front of the 100-meter starting line, first waving to everyone around him, and then waved alone in the red direction from a distance.
Being able to see so many people from his hometown in a foreign country makes Su Feng extremely moved every time, and it also strengthens his determination to win.
In the last race in Zurich, neither he nor Bolt was in good condition.
Su Feng is returning to China to receive the award and complete some business matters.
Although Bolt has not left Europe, most of the brands he has signed contracts with are European and American brands, and there are quite a few in Europe alone.
Although he lost to Su Feng in both individual events at the World Championships.
But Bolt broke 9.50 seconds in the 100 meters and defeated the Chinese team led by Su Feng in the relay.
This has made his popularity still soar.
In fact, as long as the two of them keep approaching or breaking world records, the track and field craze they set off will only get bigger and wider.
Therefore, Bolt was busy appearing on the covers of several magazines in Europe and renewing many new contracts.
In short, he couldn't fully focus on training.
In fact, it is understandable that athletes’ performance in daily competitions is not as good as in competitions.
After all, major competitions usually have a long preparation period.
Like the Olympics, the preparation time is more than half a year.
The World Championships usually last for several months.
Therefore, in this game, due to various off-field reasons, the two men did not perform satisfactorily.
But even so, the two still achieved first and second place respectively.
When it comes to the finals in Brussels, both Su Feng and Bolt will have to get serious.
The two were tied in the first six races. This battle is related to the outcome of the seven races this year. Of course, it cannot be taken lightly.
This is especially true for Su Feng.
Last year, due to getting married after the Olympics, Su Feng missed all games after the Olympics, including two Diamond League games.
This resulted in Bolt winning the championship.
This made Su Feng very unconvinced. Of course he would win it back this year.
"On your marks!" everyone's voice sounded, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
The 100-meter race is like this. It only lasts about ten seconds. Every step is full of speed and passion, and there is no room for negligence.
Moreover, in this competition, in addition to Su Feng and Bolt, other famous players such as Gatlin, Lambelli, Blake, and Powell are also here. The excitement will definitely not be lost to competitions like the World Championships. Naturally
Not to give up every detail.
"Set!"
"Snapped!"
"Game start!"
He has been training in Europe for nearly half a month, during which he even played a Diamond League game. Su Feng is now in full condition.
Regarding this point, Gatlin, who is next to Su Feng and also participated in the Zurich race, has the most say.
In the Zurich race, Su Feng lost the absolute speed that made Gatlin despair. Although he won in the end, he felt that he could win.
But this time, Gatlin directly felt the huge pressure just from the powerful and light start.
That feeling that left him breathless all the way through the World Championships is back!
"Damn it." Gatlin gritted his teeth and began to run wildly, desperately squeezing his potential.
However, after thirty meters, the absolute speed gap became apparent again.
Su Feng and Bolt were separated by three tracks, and both began to stand out, making the rest of the game once again a contest between two people.
Fifty meters away, Su Feng and the two of them had completely distanced themselves from the people behind them.
At sixty meters, the speed of the two reached its peak, and the gap began to widen rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Once the 80 meters passed, no one except the two had any hope of winning the championship and could only compete for the bronze medal.
Ninety meters, one hundred meters, crossing the line!
As the two of them flew across the finish line, the entire audience stood up and started cheering loudly.
This is a performance that only occurs after super high results.
However, judging from Su Feng's experience, he probably didn't break the world record, and his speed just now probably couldn't break the world record either.
really.
After the two stopped and turned around, the results were already displayed.
First place, Su Feng, China, had a starting reaction of 0.130 and a time of 9 seconds 58.
Second place, Bolt, Jamaica, starting reaction 0.140, time 9 seconds 59.
Third place, Gatlin, United States, starting reaction 0.135, time 9 seconds 72.
The only two athletes in the world who can run under 9.60 seconds both ran 9.58 and 9.59 seconds. No wonder the audience was so excited.
"Win!" Su Feng raised his hands in the direction of the red flag, and then a wave of red and huge cheers rushed over.
"Su Feng won, first in the Diamond League finals, first in total points, plus first in the 100 meters at this year's World Championships! It can be said that Su Feng won almost all competitions this year.
This year is the year of Bolt and Su Feng, but it is also the year of Su Feng.
He will undisputedly take the first place in the IAAF men's 100-meter event.
Although the strength between him and Bolt has not really been determined yet.
But judging from this year's results alone, Su Feng is well-deserved to be the first person in the 100-meter field." Yang Jian's words were affectionate but would not make people feel nauseous. After all, Su Feng really has this ability.
Then came a series of IAAF award ceremonies, including the distribution of championship rings, a 4-carat diamond ring worth US$80,000 according to reports.
The other is the distribution of Diamond Grand Prize bonuses. The champions of 32 men's and women's events will share the Diamond League's prize money of US$6.63 million, with an average of US$207,000 per person.
After receiving this honor, all Su Feng's official competitions in 2013 have ended, and he will no longer participate in any competitions in the future.
If everyone wants to see Su Feng on the playing field again, they have to wait until 2014.
