Chapter 83 The Provincial Games Begins

"Damn it, awesome!"

At 9:30 p.m., Ding Youpeng roared, and his joy was beyond words.

This yell was not because Yi Dun's shot was too amazing, but because he scored an excellent result by himself.

Close to 66 meters!

I don’t know if I was stimulated by Yi Dun or because I was close to Zhu Zhe Chi during the training period, Ding Youpeng’s javelin scores have made great progress.

Originally, his personal limit was more than 63 meters, but now he actually threw a distance of 65 meters, which made Ding Youpeng laugh.

Most athletes are actually not staring at world records or other high-standard records. What they are more concerned about is whether they can break their personal records.

After all, not every athlete has the talent to break world records.

Ding Youpeng is one of the vast majority of athletes. He does not have such great ambitions and is extremely satisfied if he can break through his personal limits.

"Yes, Brother Ding, your posture was perfect when you hit me just now." Yi Dun said enviously.

Although his current results are far better than Ding Youpeng, his skills are not as good as Ding Youpeng, who has been practicing javelins for more than six years.

The main reason is that there are many mistakes and the performance is not stable.

Maybe this shot can be 73 meters, but the next shot can only be 70 meters. Of course, it is also possible to directly shoot out of the fall area and achieve zero results.

"You kid will say sarcastic words, why don't we change them?" Ding Youpeng quipped.

He envied Yi Dun, but he also knew that talent could not be forced. He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Yi Dun's investment reaching a distance of more than meter, but now he is completely open-minded.

"By the way, Yi Dun, the Provincial Games will start in a few days. The city will hold a vow-taking meeting tomorrow at noon. Are you going to attend?"

When Yi Dun heard that he was about to have a meeting, he became very angry.

"Can you not go? Brother Ding." Yi Dun asked with a wry smile.

Ding Youpeng frowned, "What do you think?"

"Good guy, you are definitely a signature player in the city. If you don't go, then what are you going to be a master?"

"To put it bluntly, what is going on in our city? You don't know that how many gold medals can be won in the track and field events of this Provincial Games depends on your performance!"

"If you don't go, where will the leader put his face?"

Yi Dun smiled bitterly and nodded. It seemed that he would not be able to go.

The Provincial Games are about to come, and Yi Dun is both excited and nervous now.

The significance of this provincial Games is self-evident, and can be seen as a springboard for Yi Dun to enter the circle of top domestic athletes.

If you perform well, Yi Dun will have the strength of an internationally-level athlete in the future.

If you do not perform well, although there are other opportunities to get attribute points later, it will be a waste of time after all.

...

The next day, Yi Dun sat on Ding Youpeng's electric donkey, and the two rode towards the city auditorium.

The leaders of the Sports Bureau were all here, and Luo Jianjun, the principal of the Sports School, also sat on the stage.

Yi Dun is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. He found a place in a corner and sat down, waiting for the start of the oath-taking ceremony.

Director Song, as the top leader of the Sports Bureau, naturally had to speak.

"After you athletes go out in this provincial Games, they represent the face of our Songyang City!"

"Don't do anything wrong with me. Pay attention to your mental outlook. I'll leave my words here. If I lose someone in Songyang City after going out, I'd better not come back."

"There are a total of 304 minor events in this provincial Games. Our Songyang sent a total of 203 athletes to participate. I won't say too much, at least I have to get back ten gold medals, right?"

Yi Dun was stunned off the stage, but he didn't expect that Songyang City had sent so many athletes.

When he entered the venue just now, he was wondering why there were so many people in the venue.

"Brother Ding, there are so many athletes in our Songyang?" Yi Dun asked Ding Youpeng beside him.

"Well, many of them are mass competitions, which basically means having fun with the people. For real professional competitions, we have a total of about 40 people..."

Yi Dun nodded, not knowing whether the ten gold medals mentioned by Director Song refer to the professional group gold medal.

If it were a professional group gold medal, how could more than 40 people get ten gold medals?

Director Song on the stage continued: "The last year just ended. During this year, our Songyang City has achieved extraordinary achievements in sports, and outstanding sports newcomers like Songyang Sports School Yi Dun have emerged."

"I hope that the athletes here can take Yi Dun as an example, train hard, and win more glory for individuals and collectives!"

Yi Dun sat in the corner, but never expected Director Song to name and praise him.

It seems that if I don’t win a few gold medals this time, I feel a little sorry for Director Song.

...

After the oath-taking ceremony, the city organized athletes to have another meal, which was the next implementation of the provincial games.

After all, there are not many days left before the start of the Provincial Games.

Yi Dun naturally couldn't miss eating something like that. He ate and drank a lot with Ding Youpeng and returned to school happily.

On April 16, more than ten buses were parked in the city park square, and more than 200 athletes boarded the bus and prepared to go to Jibei City.

The Provincial Games will last for more than half a month, and the next group of athletes in Songyang City will live in the athletes' dormitory provided by Jibei City.

"Are you excited? Yi Dun." Ding Youpeng smiled.

"That's naturally excited. This is the highest-standard event I have participated in so far. How could I not be excited?" Yi Dun said in a state of excitement.

Ding Youpeng smiled and shook his head and said, "Actually, there is nothing to be excited about for you."

"For us athletes, the Provincial Games may be the highest-level event we can participate in in life, but for you, it doesn't count."

"Maybe you can pass our country's Olympic selection this year and you will see you in the Olympic arena next year."

"That's really a matter of glorious ancestors. No, I'm afraid our Songyang City will have to benefit from you."

"You are the main players in the long-distance running and shot put. There are no strong players in our country. As long as you can participate in the competition, it is a kind of success."

Yi Dun waved his hand quickly, "Hope, don't talk too early now. If you don't choose it at that time, it's a joke."

"By the way, Brother Ding, do you know when the Olympic selection will start?" Yi Dun asked curiously.

During the Municipal Games before, he heard Director Liu mention this matter, but he didn't ask about the time at that time, so Yi Dun didn't know when the selection would start.

"You asked me, you really asked the wrong person. Do you think I would know this?" Ding Youpeng laughed.

After a four-hour drive, the two chatted all the way, and arrived at Jibei City at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Yi Dun, Ding Youpeng and the other two cities' track and field team members were assigned to a four-person dormitory at Jibei Sports School.

They will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the opening ceremony of the Provincial Games. At that time, the four or five thousand athletes attending the meeting will compete in the same field to compete for the gold medals in their respective events.
