Run Out of My Life

    "Su Zu, we should go to Seoul for a tour later, you are a little tired, you should take a good rest."

    At 11:00 am on August 31st, just after leaving Incheon Airport, Su Zu, Zhang Pingqiu, Yu Yaling, Jiang Daheng and others just got on the bus arranged by the organizing committee, and Jiang Daheng was lying on the side of the window Started whispering with Su Zu.

    "Master Jiang, you are using the public for personal gain, I don't have that much time." Su Zu replied with a smile.

    His schedule is relatively tight now. The 16th Asian Athletics Championships will start a four-day competition on September 1st. After the competition, he will almost have to return to China.

    September 17th was the first time that Magic City held a Grand Prix. He had to be there in advance to do some publicity. There were also several advertisements to attend.

    "Master Jiang, it's alright for you to wander around Incheon. If you want to travel to Seoul, it's too late." Zhang Pingqiu said to Jiang Daheng on the seat beside him, "The Asian Championships is over. We went home the next day."

    "Oh, that's a pity, I still want to see Gyeongbokgung Palace." Jiang Daheng murmured.

    Su Zu and Yu Yaling smiled, Jiang Daheng thought of going abroad as a tour and no one thought of it.

    Jiang Daheng is a physical therapist, mainly responsible for Su Zu's muscle massage and relaxation physical therapy work.

    This is also a part of his benefits as a physiotherapist of the "Team Su", and he often has to follow Su Zu around, but most of the schedules are relatively intensive and rarely leave time for others Wander around.

    "By the way, it's not called Seoul anymore, it's called Seoul." Zhang Pingqiu suddenly remembered the precautions given by the team before.

    The Chinese people's name for Seoul is still in the old name of Seoul at this time. Seoul only began to change its name on January 19, 2005, which is a product of the de-sinicization movement. Before the team, because the players may be interviewed, it was a reminder.

    At 12:00 noon, Su Zu and his party arrived at the hotel arranged by the Incheon Organizing Committee, and then met Li Zhizhong, who had arrived in Incheon ahead of schedule.

    "When you were in Europe, did you go out alone?"

    The first sentence of the meeting, Li Zhizhong asked Su Zu about going to Dublin when he was in Europe.

    Su Zu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Pingqiu, only to see Zhang Pingqiu shrinking his neck and hurried around to the other side.

    Li Zhizhong shook his head, and did not mean to pursue it, he waved his hand and changed the topic, "By the way, the organizing committee invites you to take the oath as an athlete representative tonight."

    "Huh?!" Su Zu was slightly stunned, "Master, how did this happen to me."

    "If you don't join, who is qualified." Li Zhizhong said rightly.

    "No, I mean, can the Organizing Committee in Incheon agree to this?"

    If it was in China, or even in Japan, Singapore and other countries, Su Zu would not ask this question. But in Korea, he didn't think the Korean Organizing Committee had such an air.

    Let's not talk about football, just ice hockey, short track speed skating, badminton and other sports that have direct competition with China, all kinds of black points can't be counted.

    It is natural for China and Japan to rely on Korea to make a joke. Several major East Asian countries seem to have reached a potential tacit understanding.

    Li Zhizhong laughed, "It was strongly requested by the chairman of the Asian Athletics Federation, Mr. Karmadi, who said that only you can represent Asian athletes, you should perform well at night, pay attention, when the time comes, you will face all There will be tens of thousands of viewers, and there will be TV broadcasts.”

    Li Zhizhong never thought about whether Su Zu would have stage fright. A world-class top athlete has attended various occasions, large and small. Such a scene is nothing at all.

    …

    Incheon Munhak Stadium, also known as Incheon World Cup Stadium or Mark Stadium, is a multi-functional stadium that can play track and field, football, baseball and other games. It opened on February 25, 2002, mainly to meet the construction of the 2002 World Cup.

    At 7:00 p.m., the Incheon Munhak Stadium was brightly lit.

    The whole venue was full of brilliance. After leaders at all levels such as South Korea and the Asian Athletics Federation entered the venue, the opening ceremony performance began.

    Korean traditional folk dances, the "Centipede Array" of song and dance performances, and the "Asian Aircraft Carrier" with three layers of performers lined up inside and outside.

    After an hour-long cultural performance, 1020 athletes from 45 countries participated in the entry ceremony of the Asian Championships.

    In the stage of the athletes entering the stadium, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and tens of thousands of spectators applauded continuously, especially when the two Koreas entered the stadium hand in hand wearing uniform sportswear, the applause in the entire venue was like thunder, This is a rare honeymoon period between Korea and Korea.

      There's a lot of sound.

    Su Zu stood at the front of the team, he did not serve as a flag bearer, but many spectators recognized him. From time to time in the audience, people shouted his name loudly, and even a bunch of reporters from China, Japan and South Korea followed the movement of the Chinese team, constantly surrounding Su Zu to take pictures.

    After Incheon Organizing Committee Chairman and Incheon Mayor Ahn Sang-soo delivered a speech at the conference, when the atmosphere was the most enthusiastic, Su Zu stepped onto the rostrum as the representative of the Asian Championships athletes.

    The first Asian who ran 100 meters in 10 seconds and 200 meters in 20 seconds, the Asian sprint record holder, the World Championships men's 100 meters and 200 meters double champion, the world's fastest runner today One of the fastest people, in track and field, this is already a superhuman achievement for Asian athletes.

    No matter how thoughtful and unconvinced Koreans are, they can't pick out a comparable athlete. Just because he came to participate in the Asian Championships, it attracted a large number of Asian track and field fans to come to see him.

    On the podium, the chairman of the Asian Athletics Federation, Karmadi, and the chairman of the Incheon Organizing Committee and the mayor of Incheon, Ahn Sang-soo, shook hands with Su Zu after he came to power , and moved away from the microphone position, walked to the front of the stage, and faced Su Zu.

    This is the first time for Su Zu to take the stage as an athlete representative. The moment he took the stage, the Chinese delegation and many audience members gave warm applause.

    Su Zu took the oath prepared by the delegation in advance, faced Karmadi and Ahn Sang-soo, faced thousands of athletes and tens of thousands of spectators and began to swear.

    On behalf of all athletes, I swear:

    Strictly abide by the rules of the game, resolutely obey the referee, respect the opponent, and respect the audience. Conscientiously compete with full enthusiasm, carry forward the tenacious fighting spirit, not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, show the style and level of the competition, and play the best results.

    Pledge: Su Zu

    August 31, 2005

    The oath ends.

    South Korean marathon runner Lee Bong-joo and North Korean middle-distance runner Ham Bong-sil, the CCP raised the torch and lit the torch to the warm applause and cheers of the audience.

    The 16th Asian Athletics Championships has begun!
