Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy, as well as the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. Its status in Italy is somewhat similar to the combination of Beijing and Shanghai in China. It has a history of more than 2,500 years since its founding. It is
A famous historical and cultural city.
The ancient Roman Empire was born here, and because of its long history, it was called the Eternal City by Westerners.
The period from 1 to 20 AD was the most prosperous period in Roman history and the largest empire in the West. At that time, China was in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Rome is also the center of the Catholic Church in the world, with more than 700 churches and monasteries, 7 Catholic universities, and the famous Vatican Papal State in Rome.
The famous Colosseum, which is often seen by the world, is located in the center of Rome.
Su Feng arrived in Rome on June 21 and checked into the Hassler Hotel.
The Hassler Hotel is one of the most prestigious hotels in Rome. It has a history of 113 years and is a top five-star hotel. It has exquisite suites and impeccable services and facilities.
Especially its spa center and gym are one of the reasons why Su Feng chose this place.
Because the price is relatively high, Su Feng paid for Team Su's housing expenses out of his own pocket this time. After all, the price here is much higher than the original budget.
Su Feng didn't choose this place just for himself. The workload of the Su team members in the next three months was not small. They not only had to contact various training bases, but also recorded Su Feng's physical condition in detail.
Data, to better prepare for training athletes in the future, it is very hard work, Su Feng can be regarded as a reward for everyone.
As for Su Feng's training ground, we have already contacted him. It is at the Italian Roma team's training ground on the outskirts of Rome. Su Feng has already been there once and the facilities are very good and comprehensive.
On the evening of June 22, after treating everyone to a delicious Italian meal at the hotel's Michelin restaurant, Su Feng went to the spa and enjoyed an Italian-style spa service, feeling relaxed all over his body.
"Su Feng, when did you like taking pictures?" When Su Feng returned to the hotel with the camera he asked for from Team Su, He Jun looked at Su Feng and asked strangely. This kid usually doesn't do anything except training.
What a hobby, why do you still like taking pictures?
"Well, the Colosseum and so on are so beautiful, especially the night scene. It's different from the daytime scene, so I just took pictures of it."
He Jun nodded, this explanation made sense.
If China's Jiangnan gardens concentrate and represent a large part of the characteristics of Chinese architecture, then the buildings in Rome concentrate and represent the characteristics of Rome or the West. They are indeed beautiful.
Seeing that He Jun did not doubt his presence, Su Feng said hello again and returned to his room.
After returning to the room and turning on the computer, Su Feng packaged and sent the pictures one by one. Because he was afraid that others would see them, he did not directly update them to his own space.
As for why we need to take photos and send them out, some people want them.
"Ahem" Not long after, a message was sent from a QQ account whose profile picture was Yingdan.
"Received, very beautiful."
"I see that your space is full of landscape photos. It seems that you really like traveling." Su Feng asked.
"Of course. If I didn't have to work, my favorite thing would be traveling."
"Actually, I also think that one day I can no longer run, I will retire and travel to see the beauty of the world."
"Yeah, right, traveling is the best. But at your age, how many more years do you have to run? You can travel around even if you don't retire. You are not the kind who work all day, so you can find time to travel by the way.
ah.
Just like you are talking about seven stops in Europe now, aren't you just traveling everywhere?"
Valley
"That's true, but there are some competitions. Like the following competition, with Powell participating, there will be pressure. When there is pressure, traveling will not be easy."
"Yes, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for the photo. Come on, train and beat that Powell again."
"OK."
After finishing the conversation, Su Feng smiled. The girl opposite was quite interesting. Chatting with her also added some color to his simple life.
…
July 2, Rome Olympic Stadium.
This is the main stadium in Rome, Italy, and the home stadium of Serie A teams Roma and Lazio, with a capacity of 105,000 spectators.
The main uses are the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, track and field and football competitions.
At this time, the stadium with more than 100,000 people was packed. This cannot be said for every football match, but it can still be achieved for key matches of each season, especially the Champions League matches.
But for the golden league of track and field, this is one of the few scenes.
The main reason is the organizer's promotion of the world flying battle between Su Feng and Powell.
And Obikewelu, as the fastest man in Europe, is a challenge to the previous two.
It can be said to be a battle between the three flying men.
Italy has a strong sports atmosphere. The organizers initially optimistically estimated that the attendance rate would be at least 70-80%, but the final result exceeded the organizers' expectations.
The main reason is that some time ago, the European and American media promoted Su Feng and track and field too much. It can be said to be blanket propaganda.
People who love sports have a winning mentality in their hearts, just like every team in Italy pursues the league championship and the Champions League.
On the one hand, these visitors want to see the exciting competition and gap between the fastest man in Europe and the fastest flying man in the world.
On the other hand, both yellow and black people now have top ten athletes, only white people are missing. Although Europeans are not very hostile to Su Feng, they still have the spirit of not admitting defeat, so naturally
Come take a look if you are interested.
This has resulted in the current phenomenon.
At 8:30 in the evening, the finale of the men's 100 meters was about to begin. When the athletes walked out of the tunnel, huge cheers suddenly sounded on the field. Many people had been waiting all day for this moment to see the fastest runners in the world.
A battle between the fastest people.
Su Feng was relatively calm about this, and there was no pressure as He Jun imagined. However, it was his first time to compete in a stadium with more than 100,000 people. Even the stadium in Shanghai was said to be 80,000 people, but it actually only had 50,000 people.
There were more than 10,000 seats, so he was a little curious about the huge environment and sounds at this time, and looked around from time to time.
The stadium itself is considered an antique. Construction started in 1928 and was completed in 1937. It is difficult to imagine what people at that time had in mind to build such a huge building.
Su Feng was placed in the fifth lane this time. In front of him was Obikwelu, and behind him was Powell. Both of them looked serious at this time, and the pressure Su Feng put on them was really too much.
Especially his stability, which is set off by his super high performance, is as difficult to cross for his opponents as a mountain, and it can indeed easily bring about a sense of oppression.
This is also the fundamental reason why Powell did not participate in the Bergen station.
The pressure was really too great and he needed to take some time off.
