Run Out of My Life - Chapter 365

    Outside a room in the mixed passage area of ​​Yongjing Stadium, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng and Wen Yongyi were waiting boredly at the door.

    Just after receiving the award, according to the plan of several people, they were going to have a big meal at the restaurant that had been reserved in advance and enjoy the local Japanese cuisine.

    The performance of the relay team was very good. The coach of the team had no objection to this, and let go of the constraints on the athletes.

    Before the game, everyone was under a lot of pressure, and before the game officially ended, they didn’t dare to eat anything outside the hotel, but now, you can experience it with confidence.

    However, when the award was over, and before they could wait for their plan to be implemented, Su Zu was stopped by Feng Shuyong, the leader of the Chinese army, and another man with glasses who everyone did not know. A conversation took place.

    “Su Zu, this is Mr. Zheng Qiuliang.”

    In the room, Feng Shuyong introduced the man with gold glasses to Su Zu.

    “Hello Mr. Zheng!”

    Su Zu reached out and shook hands with the other party. Although he didn’t know the other party’s identity or the intention of the other party, he could let Feng Shuyong accompany him. .

    “Su Zu, I have watched both your 200m and 4x100m races. Your performance is fantastic. It’s a pity that I came late and didn’t catch up with your world record. 100m race.”

    Zheng Qiuliang smiled and spoke softly, and was very enthusiastic when shaking hands with Su Zu.

    “Mr. Zheng is our assistant to Director Zhang at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. This time I came here from China to see you.”

    After the two shook hands, Feng Shuyong briefly explained the identity of Zheng Qiuliang.

    Su Zu was a little surprised. In the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang, the leading domestic director, was in charge of the opening ceremony. At this stage, his team and assistants basically have official identities.

    “Trouble Director Feng.” Zheng Qiuliang first politely said to Feng Shuyong, then turned to Su Zu, “Originally Director Zhang wanted to come to Osaka in person, but the preparations are still in progress. He was very nervous, he couldn’t get out, so I came to Osaka to invite you to the lighting ceremony of next year’s Olympic Games in the Bird’s Nest.”

    “What?!”

    Su Zu was a little stunned when he heard this. In his memory, the last ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games was the former gymnastics prince. This kind of thing should never fall. on him.

    Of course, Su Zu also knows that his current performance is definitely enough to qualify for the ignition ceremony, but it is not suitable for him to be an active athlete.

    Generally, the opening ceremonies of large-scale competitions require long-term rehearsal. Now it is September 2007, and the Olympic director team has started preparing for this project almost 11 months in advance. Imagine that he will need to rehearse back and forth many times, which will inevitably affect his systematic training.

    After the Osaka World Championships, for Su Zu, the most important events are the Magic Capital Grand Prix and the IAAF year-end finals, and then winter training will begin to prepare for the 2008 season.

    Judging from the current situation, the 2008 World Indoor World Championships and the Olympic Games have been fixed, and other Grand Prixes in the IAAF Tour may be considered at their discretion.

      , One of the most important reasons is that the arrangement of time simply cannot be taken care of.

    “Mr. Zheng, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

    Su Zu looked at Zheng Qiuliang and asked with a puzzled face, and then looked at Feng Shuyong who was on the side, “Guide Feng, I still need to prepare for the competition, so I probably don’t have time to participate in this opening ceremony. fire ceremony.”

    As the head coach of the track and field team, Feng Shuyong, the team leader of this Osaka World Championships, should be relatively clear about Su Zu’s training and competition arrangements. Su Zu does not believe that Feng Shuyong will not know the importance of this.

    If Su Zu is now a retired athlete, then of course he does his part. But as an active athlete and a strong contender for the men’s 1200m championship in the 2008 Olympic Games, his most important task is to prove himself on the field, to fight for the championship and honor for the motherland and himself, not to participate in the opening ceremony.

    “This time should be arranged, Su Zu, this is a very important task.”

    Seeing Su Zu’s eyes on him, Feng Shuyong nodded unexpectedly and asked directly in the tone of a political mission.

    “Director Feng, I am an athlete, and I have to compete.”

    When he heard Feng Shuyong’s words, Su Zu suddenly became angry.

    It is true that it is a great honor to be able to ignite the fire at the opening ceremony of the world’s attention, but his main job is a sprinter, and he is going to participate in the competition, how can he have so much time to go Attend rehearsals.

    In later generations, he used to listen a lot. In order to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, various rehearsal time was as long as several months or even more than half a year. For him, it was simply impossible.

    And now, to let him attend the lighting ceremony of the opening ceremony, how much time and energy does it take? !

    Su Zu felt helpless and annoyed when he thought that this might be something leaders thought about, or that some people were so happy that they asked him to set fire to it.

    This is not that Su Zu is unwilling to participate in the ignition ceremony. If he has spare energy, he is willing to contribute his own strength. To hold such a grand event in one’s own country is the supreme honor of an athlete.

    But he prefers to use his strength and performance on the field to participate in such events and win championships and honors for himself and his motherland.

    Athletes need to maintain state, need to train and compete, and it is impossible to have free time for long rehearsal.

    Now facing the upcoming 2008, even if Su Zu won the men’s 100m world record, he still does not have enough confidence.

    At the starting line of the Bird’s Nest Men’s 100-meter final, he may face a more difficult challenge than all the previous competitions combined.

    Even if he defended the 100m or 200m champion at the World Championships and just won the bronze medal in the men’s 4×100m relay, the joy in his heart did not last long. As long as people like Bolt, Powell, and Guy appear on the field, he doesn’t dare to take it lightly.

    Forcing the unhappiness in his heart, Su Zu said again: “Guide Feng, Mr. Zheng, I heard that the ignition needs to be linked to Weiya or something. If you are accidentally injured, you may be injured. It affects my game.”

    “Huh? Wia? What Wia?!”

    Feng Shuyong and Zheng Qiuliang looked at each other, both showing puzzled expressions.

    “Isn’t it?”

    Su Zu was stunned when he saw the expressions of the two.

    The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games was watched live on TV. Although it has been so many years, he still remembers the moment when the torch was lit.

    Prince Gymnastics held a torch in his hand, and walked around the bird’s nest in parallel through Ding Weiya’s actions, and finally lit the holy flame. Why does it seem to be different from what the two said now.

    “Mr. Zheng, can you tell me in detail, what is the format of the opening ceremony ignition ceremony that we have chosen?” Su Zu woke up and did not continue to delve into this topic. What is the lighting ceremony that started the opening ceremony?

      The last torchbearer ran into the Bird’s Nest venue, and after a circle around the venue, handed the torch to another athlete, and the two of you shot the torch together and lit the flame. Well, the specific details are a lot of people talking about here, so I won’t go into details. Of course, if there is a better ignition scheme in the future, it does not rule out the possibility of perfect replacement. “

    “The Phoenix Homecoming?”

    Su Zu was stunned again when he heard the ignition ceremony.

     Compared to letting him participate in the ignition ceremony of the final opening ceremony, there is no doubt that these four words have a greater impact on him.

    This life is focused on sports. It can be said that many things in the past, his memory has been somewhat blurred, and after hearing the words “Phoenix Homecoming” suddenly, he only feels as if Like being woken up, I remembered a lot of things I didn’t remember.

    In another time and space, he was a college student in 2008. After the summer vacation, he went back to school and chatted with his roommates about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

    At that time, several people in the dormitory were saying that the whole opening ceremony was really perfect, except for the ignition ceremony, which seemed a little mediocre.

    At that time, a roommate inadvertently mentioned that the original opening ceremony was not the one that everyone saw as the gymnastics prince. Instead, there is a scene where the phoenix flies into the bird’s nest. The bird’s nest and the bird’s nest naturally have to attract the king of birds to be considered perfect.

    It was only later that a South Korean TV station filmed the opening ceremony, especially the lighting ceremony, during the preview, which led to the leakage of information in advance and lost the greatest suspense.

    So much so that I had to change the ignition plan in advance, and it became the one that everyone sees, a relatively less stunning ignition method.

    Su Zu was just an ordinary student at that time, and he was not particularly clear about these, and just listened to it as a joke, but now he suddenly heard the content of “Phoenix Homecoming”, he Just suddenly remembered.

    Could it be… Could it really be this? !
