After the assembly, Ma Shanyong took all the athletes to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Then the group took the bus rented from the school and drove to the city gymnasium.

When I arrived at the parking lot of the gym, I showed up at just seven o'clock.

Ma Shanyong took off his military coat and covered Yi Dun's body.

"Let's take a look first, the opening ceremony will be held at 8 o'clock, and your 5,000-meter preliminaries will be around 11 o'clock in the morning."

"You have a good rest first, adjust your condition, and wait until half past ten before getting off the bus to warm up."

"Driver, keep the air conditioner on, don't let the students catch a cold..."

Ma Shanyong probably did not treat his own son so meticulously.

Many students in the track and field class were eating at this moment.

"Teacher Ma, you are too careful with Yi Dun, right?"

"I don't know, I thought Yi Dun was a student in the track and field class..." The older senior started joking.

Ma Shanyong shook his hands with a dark face, "Go away, if you can achieve something like Yi Dun."

"Stop putting on your military coat, even if I ask me to take off my shorts and wear them for you, I will not say anything."

Everyone was covered in black lines, why would anyone want you, the old man's shorts?

...

Yi Dun did not refuse Ma Shanyong's kindness, and closed his eyes and rested.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the leader came to the stage to speak and announced the official start of the Municipal Games.

The opening ceremony invited the city art troupe and gave a singing and dancing in the middle of the stadium. Then a group of old men came on stage to perform a Tai Chi performance.

The finale was a group of old ladies, with hundreds of old ladies wearing red and green, making this bleak winter morning look lively.

...

At the end of the opening ceremony, representative teams of various units began to enter the field. Yi Dun was not in the queue. He was still in the car and was resting, waiting for the start of the 5,000-meter preliminaries.

All the events arranged by the organizing committee in the morning were preliminaries. After all, the outdoor stadium was low this morning, so it was difficult for athletes to find the best competitive state.

At around 10:20, Yi Dun got off the car and started warming up before the race.

Warm-up mainly involves exercising the knee joints and relaxing the thigh muscles to prevent strains during the game.

"Yidun!"

Yi Dun, who was warming up, saw Yu Huatian running towards him from afar, and several middle-aged people were following not far behind him.

Among them is Li Lei, the provincial track and field center that Yi Dun met last time.

"Brother Yu, are you here to participate in the city games?" Yi Dun asked curiously.

It’s obviously just the Municipal Games in Songyang City, so why are these provincial track and field team members joining in the fun?

Yu Huatian waved his hand quickly, "Yidun, our leader is here today, we are here specifically for you, you have to perform well."

Yi Dun was even more puzzled, why did the leader of the Track and Field Center come to Songyang?

After a while, several people walked to Yi Dun and Li Lei quickly introduced him.

"Director Liu, Deputy Director Li, this is Yi Dun, a long-distance running seedling."

Li Lei first introduced Yi Dun to the two leaders beside him.

"Yidun, this is Director Liu from our Provincial Track and Field Center, and this is Deputy Director Li from your Songyang Municipal Sports Bureau."

After Li Lei finished introducing the article, Deputy Director Li spoke directly.

"Young man, it's very good. It's really amazing that Director Liu came to inspect you in person." Deputy Director Li gave Yi Dun a thumbs up.

Yi Dun looked dazed. The middle-aged man with a big belly in front of him turned out to be the director of the Provincial Track and Field Center?

"Yidun, I'm very happy to see you. In fact, I've wanted to come to Songyang to see you, a long-distance running genius, but I've always had a lot of work in the province, so I didn't take time." Director Liu stretched out his hand and smiled gently.

Yi Dun shook hands with Director Liu in a daze, and then he was a little restrained and didn't know what to say.

It is said that Beijing officials are at the third level. Although Director Liu is on par with Luo Jianjun, the provincial officials must be higher-end than Luo Jianjun...

It is extremely normal for Yi Dun to be a little restrained when facing such a big leader.

"Okay, we won't bother you when you're warming up."

"Come on, I will watch all your competitions in this Municipal Games. When the Municipal Games are over, let's have a private chat." Director Liu said with a smile again.

Yi Dun scratched his head, "Okay, thank you Director."

Deputy Director Li, who was standing beside him, was shocked and began to doubt Yi Dun's identity.

He had some impression of Yi Dun. He knew about Yi Dun who won two gold medals in the previous college championship.

But even though he knew, he felt that Director Liu could not be so polite with Yi Dun's achievements.

Now Director Liu is so polite that he is a little out of character, which makes Deputy Director Li wonder whether Yi Dun will be the child of a big leader.

However, this idea was overturned by himself in an instant. Will the eldest leader's children go to Songyang Sports School? Isn't this a joke...

...

Twenty minutes later, Yi Dun was taken into the stadium by Ma Shanyong.

"Director Liu from the Track and Field Center came to me just now." Yi Dun did not hide it and told Ma Shanyong what happened when he was warming up just now.

"Ah? Director Liu has taken action in person?" Ma Shanyong was shocked.

"I have to go and tell the principal this matter at night. I guess the province will take serious action this time, and I will take you to the province no matter what."

Ma Shanyong said with concern.

Naturally, he didn't want Yi Dun to leave. If Yi Dun really ran away like this, the hard work he had put in before would be in vain.

When Yi Dun becomes famous, who will still remember that he, a sports school teacher, will be Yi Dun's provincial team coach at that time.

"Yidun, I said you must have a little conscience..."

"Principal Luo and I are not bad to you. You can't be unsteady and run away just now."

Yi Dun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't worry, who do you treat me like?"

In Yi Dun's opinion, whether it is Principal Luo, Teacher Ma, or Teacher Li Dongmei, he has made a lot of contributions to himself.

In the morning of the winter, Ma Shanyong and Li Dongmei always come to train Yi Dun early in the morning. Isn’t this the effort?

Principal Luo helped him arrange food and equipment, and even allowed him to do a lot of nonsense. Yi Dun naturally remembered it in his heart.

So no matter what, Yi Dun also has to finish three years at Songyang Sports School. During these three years, he will repay Songyang Sports School as much as possible.

...

The preliminary round of the 5,000-meter event is about to begin, and Yi Dun and a group of contestants begin to enter the stadium.

There were 27 contestants in total. This time, like the previous college championship, the preliminary round was also divided into two groups.

Yi Dun drew lottery in the sixth track in the first group, while the veteran of the city track and field team was assigned to the second group.

The starting gun in the referee's hand sounded and the first group of contestants began.

After running about one-third of the schedule, Yi Dun could clearly feel that the players in this city Games seemed to be one level better than the previous college championships.
Chapter completed!
