On July 5, Lausanne, the IAAF Super Grand Prix, was held in Lausanne, Switzerland.
In the restaurant, Liu Feiren held a large plate of food and kept stuffing his mouth. At this moment, he was clearly in a good mood, as if he had walked out of the Golden League Paris station's failure to win the championship.
Lausanne can be said to be a good place for Liu Feiren. Three years ago, Liu Feiren broke the 110-meter hurdle world youth record and Asian record in Lausanne.
"Lausanne is a good place for you! Your first Asian record break should be here!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's been three years in a blink of an eye, and time has passed so fast." Liu Feiren said that food was vague in his mouth.
Zhang Guan knows that here next year is also the Lausanne station of the IAAF Grand Prix. Liu Feiren will break the world record in 12.88 seconds, so Lausanne is indeed a blessing for Liu Feiren.
"You eat so little today?" Liu Feiren looked at the plate in front of Zhang Guan.
"It doesn't seem to be very hungry today," Zhang Guan answered, but he was thinking about going to dinner with Sharapova for a while.
Sharapova came to Lausanne earlier than Zhang Guan, and now she is in the hotel waiting for Zhang Guan.
Liu Feiren didn't think much about it. He thought it was Swiss food that didn't meet Zhang Guan's taste, and then whispered quietly, "I still have two packs of instant noodles there. Go back to you?"
"Have you eaten three packs?" Zhang Guan suddenly laughed, and then said, "I haven't eaten one pack yet. If you finish eating, then you will be helped."
"You didn't eat a packet!" Liu Feiren said with a little surprise: "I didn't dare to eat it. I only made a packet when I was really hungry. If you really don't eat it, give me back."
Considering that there may be problems with European eating habits, the training base prepared several packages of instant noodles for everyone. All the chefs at the base fried it themselves. However, Zhang Guan went to date Sharapova almost every day, so there was no chance to eat instant noodles.
This time the International Super Prize was won by Lausanne Powell, mainly because the schedule was too tight.
The first leg of the Golden League is July 1st, while the second leg of the Rome match is held on July 8th. Athletes also need to participate in the pre-match press conference and adapt to the venue, so they must arrive two days in advance Rome. The Grand Prize at Lausanne was held on July 5th. That is to say, if you participate in the Lausanne race, you must rush to Rome to participate in the second leg of the Golden League on the day after the end of the game. In addition to the previous Golden League Paris, the athletes are equivalent to three matches a week. The intensity of the competition is It is quite high, so many big-name players have chosen to give up the Lausanne race. Go directly to the second leg of the preparation for the Golden League in Rome.
Lausanne was indeed a good place for Liu Feiren. He ran better than the first leg of the Golden League. He successfully won the 110-meter hurdle in 13.05 seconds, but Liu Feiren’s main competitor retired midway through the game.
At the same time, in the 100-meter sprint race, Zhang Guan, who was equipped with running shoes, also easily won the championship in the 100-meter sprint with a score of 9.92 seconds. Zhang Guan also felt the effect of running shoes for the first time.
After the Lausanne station, all kinds of activities organized by the organizer were completed. A group of people went to the airport that night and took a plane to Rome.
However, the plane was late on the way. The class that originally took off at 7 pm left Lausanne at 8:30, and then flew for another hour. It was already 10 pm when it arrived at Rome Airport. And because many contestants from Lausanne participated in the same flight, after arriving in Rome, rushing to the hotel became a big problem. The vehicle that the organizer sent to take the opportunity turned out to be Iveco. The ten people who can seat this car are already good. With the luggage, the athlete is like a sardine in the can.
"No, don't sit, let's take a taxi!" Zhang Guan's height doesn't want to be crowded in this car.
Guidance Yu and Coach Sun glared at the same time, apparently telling him that the funding for the competition was tight and the province could be saved. People sent a car to pick it up. Why did they spend the wrong money.
Zhang Guan immediately understood, then said: "Take a taxi, I will pay!"
"Oh, we have forgotten, we are standing in front of us is a billionaire!" Yu Gui is obviously saying that Zhang Guan made a lot of money last year's Olympic Games.
"That's right, we're not bad!" Zhang Guan said as he walked towards the taxi's stop.
The hotel booked by the organizer has a very impressive name called the Royal Hotel in Rome. However, when Zhang Guan and his party arrived at the hotel, they were told that the room was full. So they had to contact the organizer again and spent a lot of effort before the organizer contacted another hotel nearby.
When Zhang Guan arrived at this hotel, it was more than twelve o'clock. At this time, everyone was still hungry, but the hotel was told that there was no catering service at this time. If you want to eat, you have to go back to the royal family. Hotel.
Zhang Guan was really angry this time. He had tossed for seven or eight hours in a row, and he was hungry. This is absolutely unbearable.
Zhang Guan ran to the corner, picked up the phone, and dialed Sharapova's number.
"My dear, I waited for you all night. I also called the airport to confirm. I heard that your plane is late. Are you here now?" Sharapova's voice was lazy and seemed to be a little sleepy.
"Martha, we have arrived, but encountered some problems, the hotel is full, and then there is nothing to eat, you help me see, is there a room where you live? The best is to eat." Zhang Guan Said.
"Okay! I'll call you in a while." Sharapova hung up the phone, and after a few minutes, called back to tell Zhang Guan that the room has been booked and the hotel is ready to eat.
Zhang Guan immediately approached everyone and said, "Come on, let's change a hotel. I've already found someone to set up a place, and have food! Don't worry about the cost, we don't pay!"
"So you are hiding in a corner, are you booking a hotel? When is it so magical, Rome still has your overseas relations?" Coach Sun said as he lifted his luggage. He was ready to follow Zhang Guan. After all, he was tired all day. He also wanted to find a place to eat quickly, and then sleep beautifully.
"Oh. Just follow the local tyrant." Zhang Guan patted his chest and took everyone out to get a taxi.
...
"It looks more upscale than that Royal Hotel!" Liu Feiren said, looking at the decoration in the hotel lobby.
Zhang Guan smiled, without a word. First, Sharapova couldn't live in a poor hotel. Second, the Golden League is about to start. That is, only expensive high-end hotels have rooms. Generally, the cheaper hotels are fully booked.
High-end hotels naturally have high prices, for example, even if it is more than one in the morning, the restaurant will still provide food, and there are chefs on duty 24 hours, although the food at night is not as complete as during the day. But for hungry people, it is already a perfect enjoyment.
After eating and washing, it was three o'clock in the morning, so everyone almost fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Guan didn't get up until noon, and everyone else was similar, so he ate lunch directly, and after lunch. Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren traveled to the training venue arranged by the organizer for adaptive training.
But what I didn’t expect was that the venue arranged by Rome was simply not suitable for training. Everyone thought that a separate stadium would be arranged, but I didn’t expect that it was an open stadium. Many Roman citizens came here to exercise Physically, there are even two amateur football teams in the middle of the field.
"This is what a training ground! It is simply a mass activity center. This should be placed in the country, and can organize dozens of square dances!" Zhang Guan complained in his heart, he felt that this situation is obviously impossible to train. Too.
But Liu Feiren has to work harder. Even if the surrounding people are all ordinary citizens, Liu Feiren has conducted more than two hours of restorative training.
...
In the evening, in front of the balcony of the hotel suite, Sharapova handed a glass of fresh water to Zhang Guan. He picked up half a glass of red wine, took a sip, and then shook the glass in front of his eyes. Then he said: "Really Unfortunately, you can't enjoy this delicious red wine."
"No way, there will be a game tomorrow! You can't eat anything." Zhang Guan stretched out his arm and Sharapova sat in Zhang Guan's arms and leaned on him.
"After your game tomorrow, I will go back." Sharapova gently stroked Zhang Guan's chest, and then said: "I need to start training, and there will be several major competitions, West Bank Classic, Akula Classic, Los Angeles Open, Toronto Open, and then the US Open."
Zhang Guan nodded. In July and August before the US Open was held, it was the peak period of various types of tennis competitions in the United States, and the degree of commercialization of American sports was very high. Many large consortia were willing to spend money to sponsor tennis matches. Tennis tournaments have higher prizes than European tennis tournaments. For example, the Western Bank Classic has a total prize money of $585,000, while the Budapest Classic in Hungary on the same day has a total prize of only $140,000. This figure is also a normal prize amount in Europe. Conversely, in North America, the Akula Classic has a total prize of $1.3 million; the Los Angeles Open has a total prize of $585,000; the Toronto Open has a total prize of $1.35 million; the New Haven Open in the United States has a total prize of $585,000. In North American competitions, the amount of US$585,000 has become the minimum guarantee line, and many European competitions only have a total bonus of more than one hundred thousand, so many big European players,
Sports, sometimes money is really useful!
"Then when are you going to leave?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"The plane that flew to New York the day after tomorrow." Sharapova said.
"Then we should cherish time?" Zhang Guan embraced Sharapova.
The wine glass rolled on the ground, and the red wine flowing on the white floor was as bright as blood, but it reflected the figure of the lover entwined next to it. (To be continued.)

There are many things near the New Year, and the unit has not yet taken a holiday, such as buying things, giving gifts, etc. Many things can only be done at night.
