Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 72 Scandal and Bet

Paris.

Michelle Yazzie Track Club.

Starting from 2003, Liu Xiang will come to Europe every June to July to hone his hurdles skills and improve his personal strength through competition and training.

The events he participated in were basically centered on the Golden League, supplemented by several IAAF Grand Prix events.

The specific events to participate in will mainly depend on the event arrangements of the IAAF and local organizers, as well as Liu Xiang's own competitive status.

Since last year, Liu Xiang himself and the Athletics Association have gained a lot thanks to the huge influence and commercial value brought by winning the title of God in the Athens Olympics.

Therefore, the Field Management Center contacted the French Athletics Federation for Liu Xiang and helped Liu Xiang arrange a summer training base in Paris.

That is where Wen Hao and Liu Xiang are currently at, the Michel Yazi Track and Field Club.

Michel Yazzie is a legendary Polish-French track and field athlete. In the 60s, he broke world records 9 times, European records 17 times, and French records 48 times in world and European track and field competitions.

In 2001, Michel Jaczi was awarded the French National Order of Merit at the Elysée Palace in recognition of his great contribution to French sports.

This information was learned by Wen Hao from Liu Xiang and the club's badge wall after he moved into the Michel Yazzi Track and Field Club.

Before coming here, he really didn't know that France had such a legendary middle-distance runner.

After all, for people of his generation, when it comes to middle and long-distance running, they probably can only think of Bekele, followed by Kipchoge and Farah a few years later.

On the track and field, against a group of white and black athletes, the two yellow men, Wen Hao and Liu Xiang, stood out.

Most of the athletes in the Michel Yazzi Track and Field Club compete in middle and long-distance running events, so no one interferes with each other during training, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

On the edge of the track, Sun Haixi stood with Li Qing with his arms folded, watching his beloved disciple doing warm-up training with Wen Hao, his "little brother".

Since Wen Hao came to Paris, the smile on Liu Xiang's face has obviously increased, and his condition is getting better day by day.

Sun Haixi was happy to see this situation.

No matter how unbreakable the relationship between him and Liu Xiang is, there is a huge age gap after all. Liu Xiang always keeps some things and words in his heart and will not share or talk to him, an old man.

In fact, Sun Haixi has always wanted to find a regular training partner for Liu Xiang.

Especially every summer, when participating in various high-level international competitions in Europe, having a reliable training partner will definitely play a positive role in Liu Xiang's physical and mental health.

Unfortunately, if we only consider the 110 hurdles event, only Shi Dongpeng is qualified to be Liu Xiang's training partner in China.

But the problem is that although both of them are nominally national team athletes, Sun Haili and Liu Xiang are both from the Shanghai team, while Shi Dongpeng is from the Hebei team.

Even if Sun Haixi really wants to take him under his wing, and Shi Dongpeng is really willing, will the Hebei team agree to let him go?

If you really let him go, do you still want to lose face?

Now, having Wen Hao join is great.

First of all, Wenhao is not affiliated with the provincial team, but a high-level athlete from Tsinghua University. At most, he will represent Guangxi in the National Games.

Secondly, Wen Hao's event is sprinting, while Liu Xiang's event is sprint. Because the events are different, there will be no competitive relationship.

With Wen Hao's training companionship and physical and mental guidance, Liu Xiang can be in better condition and fight hard in the international arena.

Yes, the road ahead is getting brighter.

"Huh? Really? Is it so outrageous?"

"I also hope it's false, but you don't know how bad the domestic media are."

"Fuck, this is really it."

Today is July 7th, and Zhang Sisterlin has returned to China. In the next period of time, Wenhao can only spend time with Liu Xiang, an old man.

But as soon as Zhang Jielin got on the plane, news came from China that made Wen Hao dumbfounded.

Beauty Zhang was rumored to be having an affair, but the target was not Wen Hao, but Liu Xiang, who showed up at the Armani Haute Couture show that day.

In fact, the main target of the scandal is Liu Xiang. After all, although Zhang Jielin has a certain reputation in the domestic model circle, she is really far behind Liu Xiang. Even compared with Wen Hao, she is nothing.

The reason why Zhang Jielin was noticed by the domestic media was mainly because of her stunning performance in the Armani Haute Couture show. Not only did she receive applause from the audience at the time, but she also received praise from Mr. Armani after the show.

Relevant reports and videos were sent back to China by the New Silk Road Model Agency where Zhang Sisterlin worked after the show.

I just didn't expect that some entertainment reporters followed the lead and dug out the "brother and sister" relationship between her and Liu Xiang.

Zhang Jielin's stunning look back at the show with a smile was also misinterpreted by the entertainment media as her love for Liu Xiang.
  孽 孽!
  Wen Hao still remembers that in the previous life, after Zhang Sisterlin became the "World Sister", the entertainment media fabricated a scandal about her and Liu Xiang.

The conscience of heaven and earth, when Liu Xiang first entered the national team, although he did go to Yanjing for training, he also met Zhang Jielin.

But Liu Xiang was already a member of the national team at that time, while Zhang Jielin was only a member of the Yanjing team. First of all, the levels were different, and secondly, the coaches were not the same person.

Zhang Jielin was able to call Liu Xiang "senior brother" and maintain a certain degree of contact in the future, mainly because Liu Xiang was easy to get along with, and Zhang Jielin was also a person who was good at making friends. As for the scandals, they are all far-fetched and out of place.

What Wen Hao didn't expect was that because of his "coquettish operation", not only did he fail to prevent Zhang Jielin from hiding the possible scandal with Liu Xiang, but he even made it more than a year ahead of the original timeline.

What a sin!
  Seeing that Wen Hao stopped talking for a while, Liu Xiang thought he had a grudge, so he immediately expressed his stance:

"Don't worry, I'll call Director Feng now and ask him to help clarify."

"Huh?" Wen Hao reacted and stopped Liu Xiang from taking out his mobile phone. "Brother Xiang, don't worry. Actually, I have myself to blame for this. If I hadn't taken Qian to the show, I wouldn't have caused this. This is what happened."

"This kind of entertainment report is just made up to gain popularity and traffic. There is no need to pay attention to it. In fact, the more you pay attention to it, the more excited they will be and the more they can cause trouble."

"You are quite generous." Liu Xiang smiled calmly at first, and then said: "By the way, you haven't planned to make your relationship with her public yet?"

Wen Hao shook his head: "Let's not make it public for now. She has just stepped onto the international stage and her career is on the rise. At this time, she is not afraid of scandals, but she is afraid that the true relationship will be made public and it will affect her modeling career."

Liu Xiang, however, said with a disapproving look on his face: "How can I not have any influence? Po Tianzai is just a model, and not one of those stars in the entertainment industry who has set up beautiful women, so the influence will be there."

"Besides, with her family background, there's no need to care about this, right?"

"If it's just an ordinary model, it doesn't matter." Wen Hao shrugged, "But what if it's Miss World?"

"Miss World." Liu Xiang shook his head, "You don't know the prejudices of Europe and the United States against us Chinese. Instead of believing that she can become Miss World, it is better to believe that I can break the world record."

"Well, I believe it, I believe it all!"

"True?"

"I really believe it, why did I lie to you?"

"Then tell me, when can I break the world record?"

After Liu Xiang asked, he looked at Wen Hao with interest.

If Wen Hao said "within a month", Liu Xiang would just think he was farting.

There's no World Series this year, and his winter training was so poor that he didn't even get to play in an indoor game.

Although he won two consecutive championships at the Osaka IAAF Tour on May 5 and the Eugene Prefontaine Classic on May 6, his competitive status can only be described as average.

After coming to Paris for training, his condition could not be mobilized. For this reason, he gave up the Oslo Golden League on July 7.

As for whether he can break the world record, Liu Xiang can do it himself, but the competitive state is very mysterious. At least he feels that it is not realistic within a month.

Even in the 2006 season, he felt that he might not be able to break the 13-second mark again. After all, he really couldn't show his form and couldn't force it. The most important thing was the Osaka World Championships next year and the Yanjing Olympics two years later.

This year's task is mainly to stabilize the technique without getting injured.

"What about the world record?" Wen Hao had a thought and said, "I believe you will be able to break it until the Stuttgart (World Track and Field) finals in September at most!"

Liu Xiang just smiled slightly.

"No, Brother Xiang, you don't even believe in yourself, do you?"

Liu Xiang still kept smiling, but still didn't reply.

"Then how about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Let's bet whether you can break the world record first or I can break the Asian record first."

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment and started thinking.

Theoretically speaking, his current best time is 12 seconds, which is equal to the world record.

Wen Hao's best time is 10 seconds, which is 04 seconds away from tying the Asian record.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he has a greater chance of breaking the world record.

But the problem is that he never broke the 13-second mark last year, and his form this season is not very good so far. It is actually much more difficult to challenge the world record than Wen Hao's attempt to break the Asian record.

This guy's super wind speed reached 9 seconds a few days ago. If you give him some time to hone his skills, as long as he doesn't get injured, breaking 87 seconds won't be a matter of minutes?

However, he could also see that Wen Hao's original intention was not to bet, but to cheer himself up in this way.

"Okay, I'll bet, what's the bet?"

"bet."

It no longer matters what the stakes are.

　Thanks for the 100 reward because I love drinking iced Coke~
