Chapter 170 Make You Happy One Day First
Not only was there a large number of audiences, but there were also amazing reporters coming to the scene today.
There are a lot more journalists than Yidun's previous National Track and Field Championships.
"Are these reporters from the Czech Republic?" Yidun asked Redick beside him curiously.
"No, the total population of Czech Republic is less than 10 million, how could there be so many journalists?"
"Most of these journalists are from various European countries, just waiting to report on this invitational tournament," Redick explained.
"To be honest, we didn't expect the invitational tournament to be so high. I remember that in the previous European Championships, there were not so many reporters present." Redick said again.
This is also a vague reminder of Yi Dun, how special this game is.
It is indeed extremely special. Although it is not an event recognized by the International Athletics Federation, the attention this game has received is completely comparable to the World Championships because of the rhythm of various Western media.
"You guys have made money, you have to make a lot of money in this game, right?" Yi Dun asked Redick with a smile.
Redick nodded, "I really didn't expect that we were going to spend money to clear your name, but I didn't expect that we made a lot of money. Today, we charged nearly two million euros for admission tickets alone."
"In addition to the bonus expenses, we did make a small profit."
Yi Dun was speechless. It was really easy for this big company to make money, no wonder they were so willing to spend money.
...
It was about nine o'clock, and the voice of the live commentator invited by Adida began to echo over the stadium.
Yi Dun couldn't understand what he was saying, but fortunately there was a Redick by his side.
"The main thing is that the urine test and blood test yesterday, all the contestants passed the competition."
"Then the prize money for this invitational tournament was announced, with the first place being 400,000 US dollars, the second place being 100,000 US dollars, and the third place being 50,000 US dollars."
"As for the players who didn't get the top three, they would have lost a penny, but they would definitely not lose money. We provide food, accommodation and air tickets."
"The game will officially start at 9:30. Yidun, you can now warm up."
"Come on!" Reddick gave Yi Dun a hug and cheered him on.
Yi Dun took a deep breath and walked towards the 100-meter track, where dozens of contestants were already warming up.
That's right, there are dozens of people...
This time, Adida invited almost all the decathlon players from the last Athens Olympics.
At the last Athens Olympics, a total of 39 contestants participated in the decathlon competition. At this invitational tournament, Adidi invited thirty-five. If Yi Dun included, that would be thirty-six!
These thirty-six people will compete for the 400,000 US dollars bonus in these two days!
This kind of bonus invitational tournament, the Grand Prix and the Golden League organized by the IAAF are the best channels for professional athletes to earn bonuses, so no one generally refuses such competitions.
Adidas provides air tickets and accommodation. As long as athletes are not injured and sick, they can come.
Even if you fail to win the prize, you can at least gain experience in confronting top experts.
When he got closer, Yi Dun observed these top decathlon players in the world.
Among them, whites and blacks account for about half each. Blacks are not very strong in throwing events, but they are not weak in the decathlon event.
The world record holder before Sheblele was the black man Daly Thompson, but he was a mixed-race black man with only half of his black blood.
In addition to black and white people, Yidun also saw several Central Asian or West Asians. Yidun could not tell where they were. Anyway, it was either near Kazakhstan or near Jordan.
There were more than 30 people, not even a single person from East Asia. Yi Dun's arrival attracted the attention of these contestants.
Nowadays, Yi Dun has a great reputation in the decathlon circle, but it is hard to say whether the reputation is good or bad.
These contestants had known that Yi Dun would come to participate in the competition. Now that they saw Yi Dun, they couldn't help but look at Yi Dun curiously.
From the outside, Yi Dun is a relatively rare power player among the decathlon players, which makes many contestants laugh.
Because according to the development trajectory of modern decathlon, flexible players are more advantageous.
They were already sure that Yi Dun definitely did not have the strength to break the nine thousand mark, and perhaps the things reported by the media were real.
Yi Dun had noticed that several white contestants were looking at him jokingly, glaring at them with an idiot's eyes.
The chief referee blew a whistle and began to announce the first grouping of 100 meters in the event.
The grouping of several sprint events in the decathlon is determined by the referee. Generally, each group will be divided into five or more players, not less than four.
This time, there were thirty-six contestants participating, and the head referee directly divided into six groups, each with six people.
Yi Dun was assigned to the third group, and what he didn't expect was that Shebler was actually in the same group as him.
This is interesting. Yi Dun doubted whether the referee was doing something bad and deliberately divided himself and Shebral into a group, wanting to see that he was ugly.
After all, this grouping is entirely the referee's intention, and he can divide the scores as he wants.
"It doesn't matter. Let you be happy for a day today. Every time you pass a project tomorrow, your face will be a little more bitter." Yi Dun thought silently in his heart.
...
Twenty minutes later, the first group of 100 meters had already begun.
After running, Yi Dun smiled bitterly at the corner of his eyes. These top players in the world are really not bragging.
The fastest player ran a score of 10.54 seconds, which can be said to have completely beat Yi Dun.
The six contestants, the weakest one also ran a 10.81 second.
Next, the second group of players appeared, and Yi Dun calmed down a lot because he found his brother in distress.
There is a Central Asian player in the second group. Judging from his body shape, he seems to be like Yi Dun, and he is also a power player. His 100-meter score is 11.54 seconds...
Yi Dun was immediately happy. He thought that he would be the last in this 100-meter project, but he didn't expect that someone would give him the bottom.
The third group, namely Yi Dun, began to appear.
There are only six people in total. Yidun had seen photos of Shebler before and could easily recognize them.
I looked at Shebler and found that Shebler didn't look at herself at all...
Originally, Yi Dun was thinking that Serbre would provoke him in various ways, and then he would play the role of playing a pig and eating a tiger.
But now, Serbre didn't even look at him, and Yi Dun was very discouraged. The scene he had imagined was impossible to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
"Bang..." The starting gun fired.
Six contestants ran out, and after a moment, Yi Dun "smoothly" fell to the last one.
