Chapter 415 Eat inside and outside
Next to He Zhongqiu is the room for the 110-meter hurdles event, which has three participants in total. It is much better than the 100-meter event, where only He Zhongqiu will compete.

Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng lived in the same room. As the latter was packing his luggage, he said, "Brother Liu, Wolverine was so impressive just now. He's the president of the World Athletics Federation!"

"Yes, I was scared to death by him at that time." Liu Xiang said with a smile.

He Zhongqiu packed his luggage casually and looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock and he felt a little hungry.

When we came outside, the door opposite was also opened, and Meng Chao, the 400m hurdles athlete, and Huang Haiqiang, the high jump athlete, appeared inside.

Like the 100m, these two events were also contested by only one of them.

"Come on, it's time for dinner, let's go eat."

"it is good."

He Zhongqiu called out and the two hurriedly followed.

He pushed open the door next door, called Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng first, then knocked on the door and called everyone out.

There were 26 men's team and 35 women's team. They also called up the women's team on the first floor and the second floor. Together with the team leaders and coaches, there were nearly a hundred people in total. They held maps and headed towards the restaurant in a mighty manner.

There are seven restaurants in total, the largest of which can accommodate three hundred people dining at the same time. They chose the nearest restaurant, No. 2.

He Zhongqiu called Li Hong and asked them to come to Restaurant No. 2.

There were many athletes having dinner in the restaurant. As soon as He Zhongqiu entered, he saw a large group of American athletes, including some big names.

Such as American sprint king Tyson Gay, World Championship long jump champion Dwight Phillips, 400m hurdles men's champion Sean Jackson, a total of 14 Olympic track and field champions, and 22 outdoor track and field championship medal winners.

As soon as his huge body appeared, he attracted everyone in the restaurant, from athletes to staff, even the chefs stuck their heads out to watch.

"Hey, Wolverine."

Seeing He Zhongqiu walking towards them, his momentum was so strong that a group of American players couldn't sit still and quickly stood up to greet him. Even big names like Tyson Gay stood up.

"Guys, how does it taste?" He Zhongqiu didn't know them, but asked in a very relaxed and casual manner.

Tyson Guy shrugged and said, "It's OK. There are Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles."

"Wolverine, Japanese food is good, we have Osaka beef barbecue here," said Merritt, a 400m athlete of the US team.

"You guys eat."

He patted the 180cm Tyson Gay on the head and walked away, followed by others.

"Do you think Wolverine can long jump over 9 meters this time?" someone asked in a low voice after He Zhongqiu left.

"After Powell jumped 8.95 meters, no one has come close. Even if Wolverine can break that record, it can't be that fast, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. You all know his physical fitness. He can run 9.88 meters in seconds, which is much faster than Michael Powell. The same goes for his jumping ability. His potential in the long jump is even more terrifying."

The American team was discussing He Zhongqiu, while He Zhongqiu picked two large plates of food he liked, all of which were Chinese dishes.

The Japanese style looked OK, but in pursuit of sophistication, the portions were too small.

Liu Xiang looked at the two large plates of food He Zhongqiu had, and couldn't help swallowing his throat, and said, "Zhongqiu, do you usually eat so much?"

"Well, I have to add two more plates." He Zhongqiu said.

"Four plates?"

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, Li Hong and twelve other CCTV reporters came over, along with more than twenty reporters from other domestic media, including three reporters from Yanjing Television, a total of nearly forty people.

The scale of the reporters was very large, even though there were only 61 athletes in total, which shows the importance that the domestic media attaches to this World Championships.

It is customary in international sports events that the organizing committee provides food to athletes and coaches free of charge, but reporters have to pay, so Li Hong and others have to pay.

He Zhongqiu suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Li Hong, just take the food. Take whatever you want. It's my treat today."

"Wow, a rich man is treating us, so we won't be polite." Li Hong said with a smile.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have reimbursed you, so I hope we don't bother you," Dong Ri said politely.

"It's okay, you can reimburse me as usual. Li Hong, just let me sign the bill."

He Zhongqiu took out his wallet, picked out a black Citibank credit card, and asked Li Hong to pay the bill.

Li Hong and others quickly bought the food. At this time, several athletes came in. One of them was a black man who was taller than the average track and field athlete.

"Zhongqiu, he is Bolt, the second tallest sprinter." Li Hong came over with a tray and said.

He Zhongqiu looked back at Li Hong and said in surprise: "It seems that you have done your preparations well. I don't even know him."

Li Hong smiled and said, "This is my job."

As soon as Bolt came in, he noticed He Zhongqiu, but he had no fame or achievements now, so he was embarrassed to come over and say hello.

After the meal, He Zhongqiu and his party returned to their accommodation. Some reporters followed them, while the photographers went back to the press village to rest.

Feng Shuyong took a stack of competition schedules from the organizing committee, distributed them to the coaches of each event one by one, and then found He Zhongqiu.

He was He Zhongqiu’s coach at the World Championships and said: “During Zhongqiu, there are many participants in the 100m race, which is divided into four rounds.

预赛是25号上午11点10分进行，晚上7点15分是100米四分之一决赛，这两轮都属于小组赛，这是你第一天的项目。”

He Zhongqiu nodded, took the schedule and started looking at it.

Feng Shuyong continued, "The 100m semi-finals will be on the second day, which is 26:7pm on the 10th, and the final will be at 9.20:100pm, so they are quite close. In the first two days, you only have the m event."

He Zhongqiu handed the schedule to Li Hong. She flipped through it and said, "There will be no competition on the third day, but the fourth day will be quite busy. There will be 200m and 400m preliminaries in the morning, and the first round of the 200m in the evening. There will be three competitions in total."

Feng Shuyong advised: "Focus more on the competitions after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and pay attention to adjusting your physical strength. The long jump preliminaries will be on the morning of the fifth day, and there will be a 400-meter semi-final that evening.

The long jump final was on the sixth night, and then there was the 200m final in the evening. Fortunately, the long jump final was ahead. "Long jump is the event that the national team attaches the most importance to this time, because the certainty of winning the gold medal is very high, more certain than Liu Xiang's 110m hurdles, so Feng Shuyong said the last sentence.

Next door, Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang were also looking at the schedule, and Dong Ri was also there.

"The preliminaries for the 110 hurdles will be on the fifth day, the 29th. Liu Xiang, you should adjust your condition well in the next few days," Sun Haiping advised.

Liu Xiang nodded, flipped through the schedule, and said with a smile: "Four events in the Mid-Autumn Festival, my God, he must be exhausted!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Sun Rina was in no mood to speak.

Liu Xiang only has one 110-meter hurdles event, and she has to wait until the fifth day to have work. Li Hong, Li Hong, you've made a lot of money this time.

Sun Haiping nodded and said, "This is still the World Track and Field Championships. There will be more events in next year's Olympics, at least triple jump, high jump, and basketball. Seven events, that's exhausting."

Liu Xiang said: "Next year, our Yanjing Olympic Organizing Committee will definitely design the schedule based on his events."

"That's for sure." Sun Haiping nodded.

I want to cry in winter. Among the seven projects, the Mid-Autumn Festival project is definitely the most popular, and it has worldwide attention. Director Ma Guoli, you are a traitor. You gave such a good opportunity to the international channel. You are really a traitor!
"Ah!"

Ma Guoli, who was far away in Yanjing, sneezed loudly.

On the 24th, the Changju Athletics Arena was also the venue for this World Championships.

The World Championships will last for nine days, starting on August 8th and ending on September 25nd, with the opening ceremony being on the afternoon of the 9th.

At noon that day, at the regular press conference, Yamashita Nagano said somewhat proudly:
"There are as many as 203 participating countries and 2003 participating athletes in this year's World Track and Field Championships, both of which are record highs in history."

"The events most likely to break world records in this World Championships are the men's long jump, men's 100m and men's 200m. We have great expectations for these three events."

On the 25th, the World Championships officially kicked off.

The first event was the men's marathon final, which started at 6 a.m., which was 7 a.m. Yanjing time. At this time, He Zhongqiu had just gotten up.

He first practiced standing meditation for half an hour, Eagle Claw meditation for half an hour, and then an hour of martial arts practice to put his body into very good condition.

At 7:30, I went to Restaurant No. 2 with everyone, and a group of reporters including Li Hong also arrived.

Li Hong did not wear her usual suit, but changed into a sports outfit, sneakers on her feet, and still had fluffy long curly hair.

She still kept some distance from Dong Ri and others. No, it was Dong Ri and others who kept some distance from her.

After eating and drinking, athletes who had competitions in the morning went to Nagai Stadium, while athletes who did not have competitions went to Osaka University for training.

The organizing committee arranged a training ground for the Chinese team at Osaka University, where national teams from more than 20 countries are also located.

When we arrived at the parking lot of Nagai Stadium and just got out of the car, a large number of reporters rushed over, including a lot of Japanese reporters.

He Zhongqiu discovered a problem: why most of the reporters who interviewed him were women, and they all seemed to be good-looking.

There are a total of eighteen gymnasiums, half for men and half for women. The Chinese team is in lounge number two, which is also shared by many national teams.

As soon as He Zhongqiu entered, he saw Tyson Gay and Bolt. The US team and Jamaica were also in the lounge.

"Hey, Wolverine."

Tyson Gay was just walking out, grumbling, "I was picked today, I have to take a urine test."

"I'm lucky. I don't think anyone notified me that I need a urine test today." He Zhongqiu said casually.

Guy paused, looked back at He Zhongqiu, and said unhappily, "Wolverine, you are just lucky, have you forgotten what you said to the President of the IAAF the day before yesterday?"

But he knew that Wolverine would definitely be chosen, most likely before the long jump event started or after it ended.

He Zhongqiu laughed and said, "By the way, Tyson, your Gatlin, why doesn't he participate in this World Championships?"

Tyson Gay's face turned dark instantly, as if he had been slapped in the face.

That guy Gatlin took doping and was banned for eight years by the IAAF. He is still appealing. He is not qualified to participate at all. Wolverine, you are asking this question even though you already know the answer.

Reporters were not allowed to enter the lounge, so they could only look for their respective interview targets outside. Some waited in the corridor, while others went to the stadium outside.

After He Zhongqiu entered the lounge, Li Hong waited outside obediently.

Around her, there were at least thirty Japanese female reporters who refused to go anywhere and were waiting to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival just like her.

When Dong Ri saw these female reporters, it seemed that each of them was prettier than her, which made her feel annoyed!

She walked around outside the lounge, as if trying to find a big-name foreign athlete to interview, when the door that had just been closed opened and Tyson Gay walked out.

"Mr. Guy..."

She hurried over to greet him, along with some other reporters.

Li Hong also wanted to interview Guy, but was blocked outside by a group of Chinese and foreign reporters.

Tyson Gay had just been retorted by He Zhongqiu, so he was in no mood to accept an interview. Moreover, there were several Chinese people among them. He snorted coldly, separated from the group and left.

“What a big name!”

"That's right, let's just wait for Wolverine to come out."

"Yes, Wolverine is more willing to cooperate with our interview."

"The premise is that we can't write anything wrong, otherwise he will send a team of lawyers to cooperate with us."

"Ha ha……"

After Guy left, some reporters were talking about it.

Li Hong couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't squeeze in.
