As time went by, Bai Yu's daily routine consisted of taking his employees, fans, and family to various competition venues.
Although the number of spectators at this Olympics will not be very large due to the pandemic,
However, for Bai Yu and his group, getting dozens or even hundreds of tickets each time was not a problem.
Moreover, there are so many events running simultaneously every day. Even if they can't get a spot in table tennis, they can try for diving or gymnastics. There's always one event they can get.
As for Bai Yu, he would lead a group to cheer for the table tennis team during their matches, and after the matches ended, he would rush to the diving hall to watch the diving.
To be honest, our team has absolute dominance in both of these projects, and we've seen many highlight plays.
Bai Yu is a very pure person. He only watches matches featuring our own family members, and only matches where there is a chance of winning. He won't watch any other matches.
After all, Bai Yu is not a masochist. If he knows that our family members are not strong enough, why would he go and watch others win the championship?
Days passed by, and Bai Yu's first competition was at 8:30 pm on July 30th. The first competition was the 10,000-meter final.
This event is unlike any other track and field event. The 10,000-meter race has only one final, with no preliminary or semi-final rounds. The first race is the final.
Bai Yu was already used to this situation. Not only was the 10,000-meter race longer and required more physical exertion, but each race also took a relatively long time.
If this were divided into preliminary rounds and group stages, the competition would take much longer.
Therefore, to participate in this competition, one must have a world ranking or a performance within a certain timeframe in that year to be eligible to participate.
Bai Yu, who is currently ranked number one in the world and holds the world record, is definitely capable of participating in this project.
At 8 p.m., while the men's 400-meter preliminary rounds were still underway on the track, Bai Yu had already arrived at the athletes' preparation area and started warming up.
A 10,000-meter race, on a standard track, is a distance of twenty-five laps. If you don't get yourself into top condition before the race, and you get cramps during the race, you might have to say goodbye to the competition.
After the men's 400m preliminaries, the women's 400m preliminaries will follow, and then the men's 10,000m final.
Time passed very quickly. At 8:26 or 8:27 PM, Bai Yu was already standing on the track, ready to start the race.
In this men's 10,000-meter final, there were 27 participants, only two of whom were of Asian descent. Besides Bai Yu, the other one was a competitor sent by the host country, Japan.
For Bai Yu, the contestant from Xiaoben was no threat at all. What he was most concerned about was a contestant from Uganda named Chegai and a small team from Kenya.
Chegai is the world's second-ranked athlete after Bai Yu. He is ranked first and Chegai is ranked second. He is also a strong athlete who can run a time of less than 26 minutes.
The other Kenyan team consisted of familiar faces to Bai Yu, and because of their large number, they achieved very good results.
Especially in certain situations, they can even send out self-destructing players to wear down the favorites and create opportunities for other players to win.
Some might say, "Can't others just not go along with their ideas and not fight back against them?"
If you don't engage in a prolonged battle with them, that's also within their consideration. This way, they can cooperate with each other and stay ahead until the end.
During the competition preparation phase, the contestant with the small notebook approached Bai Yu, wanting to collaborate with him in hopes of achieving good results in the competition.
What Xiaobenzi didn't expect was that Bai Yu not only couldn't understand Japanese, but he also couldn't understand English, French, or Russian. Basically, of the six major international languages, Bai Yu only knew Chinese, so the two sides couldn't communicate at all.
Moreover, even if communication were possible, Bai Yu would not cooperate with Xiaobenzi. In fact, he wanted to thoroughly humiliate Xiaobenzi's players in this competition.
He hasn't beaten a Japanese player in a long time. There's nothing he can do about it. After all, apart from the Asian Championships or the Asian Games, Bai Yu has never really encountered a Japanese player in international competitions. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the chance.
Since the notebook has sent people to participate this time, Bai Yu will naturally not miss this opportunity and must give the notebook's people a good beating.
As Bai Yu stepped onto the track, cheers immediately erupted from the stands. Bai Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large group of red figures in the stands—that was Bai Yu's cheering squad.
The track and field stadium is very large, with stands around it capable of holding tens of thousands of people. Even though the number of spectators the competition can accommodate is very small due to the pandemic, it's still not a problem for their small group of over two hundred people, as everyone managed to secure a spot.
At this moment, these people were sitting in the same stands, cheering for Bai Yu under Li Shuang's direction.
"Bai Yu!"
"come on!"
"Brother Yu!"
"Invincible!"
Bai Yu waved in the direction of Li Shuang and the others, and then began preparing for the match.
With a 'bang' of the starting pistol!
Bai Yu, standing in the middle of the crowd, shot out like an arrow and instantly reached the first position.
As a long-distance runner, Bai Yu will never lag behind; he will always be the leader.
However, since Bai Yu wanted the leading position, no one else would give him that wish. The moment he rushed out, four other contestants dressed in the same outfit rushed out after him.
These four people are all athletes from the same country, specifically from the small group in Kenya. They are the four of them who are specifically responsible for rounding up Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had faced Kenyan players multiple times before, including in a previous invitational tournament where he was also surrounded and attacked by them, though there were only two of them then, but now there are four.
They probably knew that two people ganging up on Bai Yu was no match for him; they could only rely on numbers to win.
The moment the four caught up, Chege also rushed out. He was also a favorite to win the competition. After seeing Bai Yu lead four Kenyan athletes into the first group, he naturally did not want to be in the second group and instead chased after them closely.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Bai Yu didn't turn around and continued to accelerate. To quickly distance himself from the people behind him, Bai Yu decided to try a different approach this time.
That is to use the training methods he and Su Ge used to leave their opponents behind with absolute speed and explosive power.
With this in mind, Bai Yu immediately activated his berserk mode and began to run with his head down. In just three seconds, he had already put more than ten meters between himself and the people behind him, and this distance was still widening.
When they saw this, both the Kenyan athletes and the favorite to win, Chege, were stunned.
These guys were all veterans of long-distance running, but even after participating in competitions for several years, this was the first time they had ever seen someone start a 10,000-meter race at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
It's not that they lack experience, but rather that athletes who dare to do this are often the ones who can't finish the race.
