Chapter 855 The preliminaries begin
According to the schedule, Chen Kangjie's schedule on July 26 is very intensive, with a total of three games to participate. At 11:00 a.m., he will participate in the men's 100-meter preliminaries. At 6:00 p.m., there will be a men's triple-leap long jump. Twenty minutes later, at 6:35 a.m., he will participate in the 100-meter race. In short, the task is quite heavy and there is no sloppy. Although it is not the final, if the previous competition cannot be passed, then he will not be able to participate in the final, so it is also very important.
Track and field events are the earliest Olympic events and the number one gold medalist. The competitions have always been held in the main stadium where the opening ceremony is held. Today, there are many people watching, with more than 80,000 people. Chen Kangjie got up early in the morning to prepare.
"Mr. Jie, today is your first appearance in an international competition. Don't be under too much pressure. Just stabilize your usual training results. I believe that in the previous junior competitions, you have no problem at all." Niu Qihua did not put too much pressure on Chen Kangjie when dining in the Olympic Village restaurant.
After they finish their meal, they have to rush to the stadium immediately, get familiar with the on-site environment and make pre-match preparations.
"Well, I know," Chen Kangjie nodded calmly while eating Xiaolongbao in front of him.
At this time, Chen Kangjie was calm, without any worries, no tension or excitement. Before the competition, he adjusted his mentality to a relatively stable state, thanks to his usual training after his rebirth and had seen many big scenes. At the same time, it was also a manifestation of his confidence in himself. Once a person has strong self-confidence, he can be as stable as Mount Tai and not be surprised when changes are happening.
"Mr. Jie, I just got your competition group today. The 100m preliminaries are in the second group. As long as you can run into the top three, you can participate in the next round. We took a look. There are no strong opponents in your group. The best results of the other seven people are not as good as your training results. In the afternoon, you were in the first group. You were in the third group, but you still had to participate in the 100m race later. So after our delegation communicated with the organizing committee and the International Track and Field Federation, we adjusted you to the first group. There is a Cuban player in your group. What should this be translated into,,,,,,." Lin Zhidong gave Chen Kangjie a dozen schedule to explain, but his English was not very good. He was not sure about the accurate translation of the English name of the Cuban athlete.
Tang Wei took it and saw that the name filled in the line was Yoelbi Quesada, "Qesada, Quesada of Cuba".
Tang Wei has a postgraduate degree and is relatively the best in English because he needs a foundation in English when he is studying for a postgraduate student.
"Yes, it's this Quesada. His previous results were pretty good. He once won the championship at the Caribbean Games and won the fourth place in the track and field bidding competition in Gothenburg." Lin Zhidong took over the information and continued to explain.
"Jia Shao, when you are in the triple jump, you don't need to perform too well. Just pass 17 meters. I don't want you to be the focus all at once." Tang Wei is the coach of the long jump, so he has an absolute say in this event.
"Okay, I get it." Chen Kangjie threw the last small bag into his mouth, then nodded and clapped his hands.
Since there are athletes from all over the world, cultures and eating habits, the restaurant will supply different types of food to meet the needs of different athletes. For athletes from the East, in addition to rice, buns, steamed buns, there are also various stir-fry dishes, soups, fruits, etc. These foods are strictly tested and safe.
Any competitive competition has strategies and tactics, and even the simplest running is the same. Tang Wei hopes that Chen Kangjie can endure it first and then break out after the finals, so as not to attack him by other strong teams as their opponents.
But Tang Wei's tactics are destined to fail, because Chen Kangjie will inevitably attract attention as soon as he uses J.K.CHEN's name. Even if the focus is not his athletic performance, he cannot escape the fate of being stared at by everyone.
The weather today is pretty good, it is sunny to cloudy, breeze, and sunlight flashes, making people feel more comfortable.
After dinner, Chen Kangjie and his group followed the national track and field team to the main Olympic stadium under the leadership of the team. Marshall, as Chen Kangjie's service staff, also set off with the team. Among this group of yellow-skinned and dark-haired eastern holes, he was quite eye-catching. Fortunately, the competition was held in the United States, and foreigners were everywhere, so he did not seem too abrupt.
"chen, I will cheer you up, I believe you will bring us miracles." When entering the venue to register, Marshall whispered beside Chen Kangjie.
Foreigners usually call people only by their surnames, and Marshall just calls them Chen Kangjie.
"Thank you, I hope you won't disappoint you," Chen Kangjie smiled faintly.
Chen Kangjie came to the three officials responsible for athlete registration. The three looked at the list of athletes in front of them, and then stared at Chen Kangjie almost at the same time, full of affectionate desire, which made him embarrassed.
"Sorry, is there any problem?" Chen Kangjie was really uncomfortable all over. The other party seemed to be looking at a diorama, so he reminded the other party.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, there is no problem. Are you the J.K.CHEN who wrote the novel?" The middle-aged registrant sitting in the middle came to his senses and waved his hand quickly, but he was very confused.
"I have written a novel, but that happened a few years ago." Chen Kangjie smiled bitterly. There was no need to hide anything anymore. After all, his name was already in front of the other party.
"MYGOD, it's incredible. In the information, you are only 17 years old this year. A few years ago,,, less than ten years old." A slightly fat woman on the right raised her head and stared at Chen Kangjie in surprise.
"Haha", Chen Kangjie smiled softly, "Can you register for me?"
"Okay, of course, you wait,,,,,." The official in the middle picked up a brush and wrote it in front of him. Halfway through it, he raised his head shyly, "Can you sign an autograph for me? My son likes you very much,,,,, I like it very much." Perhaps because he was worried that Chen Kangjie would refuse, the other party strengthened his tone again.
In this case, Chen Kangjie will not be a big shot, nor can he be a big shot, and he still has a humble side in his bones. "It's OK, but I hope you don't make a name for it, haha, I still have to compete." Chen Kangjie turned his head and looked at it. Beside his coach and bodyguards, there were athletes from other countries waiting to sign in.
Chen Kangjie's implication is clear, but if everyone comes to him to sign, then his pre-game preparations will be impossible.
"OK, OK, no problem," the other party made a gesture, filled out the form in front of him in a few seconds, then turned the form to Chen Kangjie, handed him a pen, and placed a new notebook distributed by the Olympic Organizing Committee in front of Chen Kangjie, "Sign your name here, just watch and write it on the notebook, my son's name is Billy."
Today is the first day of the track and field competition, and their notebooks are still brand new and have never been used at all.
Chen Kangjie first signed his name in the lower right corner of the form, then opened his notebook and wrote on the first page, "Dear Billy, I wish you a happy day and I'm glad you like me, K.J.CHEN, July 26, 1996."
The other party just happily put away his cousin and notebook, and the two auxiliary officials on both sides immediately handed over their notebooks as they were.
"My son and daughter are named Alice, and she likes you very much. She used to fall asleep by watching your novels, and she is 22 years old this year."
"I asked for my niece, she is about to celebrate her birthday. I want to give her your message as a birthday gift. I think she will be very happy."
Chen Kangjie could not favor one and the other. After satisfying the other party’s request one by one, he quickly left.
"Mr. Jie, haha, you have to sign us in the future." Tang Wei joked with him, accompanied Chen Kangjie to the athletes' lounge beside him.
Chen Kangjie rolled his eyes and said, "You are still kidding me, do you think this is honor? This is a troublesome thing. Alas, it seems that I have a headache behind it."
If you receive such treatment everywhere, no matter who you are, you will be very upset over time.
"Okay, let's be serious, Mr. Jie, should you change your clothes and go to the venue to go and run two laps to adapt." Niu Qihua slapped Tang Wei and asked Chen Kangjie.
"No need, I'll take a break here. I'll just wait for the first group to compete and I'll go out and run," Chen Kangjie shook his head.
"Then massage your legs."
Chen Kangjie did not object to this opinion. He sat on a chair, stretched his legs straight and put them on the masseur's knees. The masseur rubbed him so that his muscles relaxed and his blood flowed faster.
During this period, Chen Kangjie also answered a call, which was called from home and asked when he would be on the stage.
At about 11 o'clock, the first preliminaries of the 100-meter group began.
The distance of 100 meters is very short, and for these professional athletes, it only takes ten seconds.
After the first group of matches was counted, Chen Kangjie came on the court. At this time, his coat had not taken off, and they had three minutes to adapt to the time again.
Chen Kangjie stood on the starting line of his fourth track and turned around and glanced around. The dense crowd of tens of thousands of spectators was still calm. There was no competition at the same time. Their focus was on the 100-meter starting line. However, since they didn't know him, there was no big response. Only Chen Jing and He Wanrong saw Chen Kangjie with a calm face through the big screen. They were extremely excited. Apart from that, only family and friends in China had enthusiastic reactions.
Chen Kangjie stretched out his hand, pressed his legs, and then easily followed other athletes to trot about fifty meters on the track, even if he was warming up.
Chapter completed!
