After spending two days wandering around Paris and experiencing the not-so-strong Olympic atmosphere, Bai Yu is now ready to start training properly.
Of course, Bai Yu's training methods are different from others. For other athletes, regardless of their training methods, the coaching staff arranges their training.
But Bai Yu is different; he sets all his own training methods, and he decides how to train.
The coaching staff's assistance to him consisted of providing corresponding services and conducting relevant data analysis.
On the morning of July 20th, Bai Yu, dressed in sportswear and carrying a crossbody bag, walked out of the Olympic Village.
Behind him, Wang Hai, dressed in the same attire, followed Bai Yu, the two jogging slowly one after the other.
Unlike others who train in stadiums, Bai Yu trains on roads, running around the entire Olympic Village.
As for the bag he was carrying, it contained a badge he had made himself, which netizens call a pin.
I don't know who came up with this idea. When he participated in the Olympics before, those badges were provided by the national team, and the number wasn't too large.
But at some point, these things suddenly became very popular, and the ones distributed by the national team were no longer enough, so Bai Yu ordered a batch himself.
The reason he brought a bag of badges was that he had encountered many fans on the road while running the day before, and they all asked Bai Yu for badges.
However, Bai Yu didn't bring this thing with him when he went out. He went out to run, not to hand out badges all over the street, so in the end, these fans could only leave disappointed.
Bai Yu took photos with the fans from yesterday and also told them that he would still be running today, and if they ran into each other again, he would definitely prepare badges for them.
So he took the badges with him when he went out; he had a bag full of one or two hundred of them.
As for whether Bai Yu will be able to meet the same group of fans as yesterday, that's not important. As long as they are fans and people who know him, he will give them all the badges.
However, it was clear that such worries were somewhat unnecessary. As soon as Bai Yu came out of the Olympic Village, he was surrounded by a large group of fans.
These people included men and women, young and old, and even quite a few children.
"Uncle Baiyu, Uncle Baiyu, I've come to see you again! You promised yesterday that you would give me a badge today, and that I could choose any one I wanted!"
Just as Bai Yu was handing out badges to his fans, he suddenly felt someone tug at his sweatpants.
That one move nearly scared Bai Yu out of his wits. He didn't hear a thing the other person said!
"Who's pulling down my pants! That's too much! How can you pull down someone's pants like that? Stop pulling, or your pants will fall down!"
Upon feeling someone tugging at her pants, Bai Yu immediately grabbed her waistband with both hands to stop them from sliding down.
After all, it is a well-known fact that sweatpants rarely have belts, and even if they do, they are usually rope-type belts.
For athletes like Bai Yu, although they also use these belts, they usually don't fasten them too tightly so as not to affect their movements.
That's why Bai Yu was startled when he felt someone tugging at his pants, because it was actually possible to pull them down.
Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, none of the people surrounding him felt embarrassed at all; instead, they looked at Bai Yu with great interest.
"No, what do you mean by this? Why are you looking at me like that? What, are you trying to pull down my pants too?!"
"Aren't you, you little rascal? Who taught you to pull down other people's pants? Don't you know that doing that will pull them down?"
As Bai Yu spoke, he bent down and picked up a child from beside his feet.
A little girl who was at most three or four years old was the culprit who pulled down Bai Yu's pants, and Bai Yu even knew this girl!
Yesterday, when Bai Yu went out for a run, he ran into the little girl and her parents, and they took a group photo together. He didn't expect to run into them again today, or rather, they were waiting for him at the entrance of the Olympic Village.
"Uncle Bai Yu, you promised to give me the badge yesterday. I've come to get it from you!"
The girl did not answer Bai Yu's question, but went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit to Bai Yu.
To be fair, this little guy has good language skills; Bai Yu understood as soon as he spoke.
Bai Yu then moved his handbag to a different spot, placing it directly between him and the little girl.
"Here are all the badges I brought today. You can choose whichever one you want, but you can only take two at most."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Bai Yu!"
The girl then rummaged through her bag and found the badges. Within seconds, she was holding one in each hand, indicating that she had found them.
"Uncle Bai Yu, I want both of these badges, okay? Give me both of them."
"Hey, you little guy have pretty good taste. You managed to find one of the few tuna badges. Not bad, not bad. If you want it, you can have it."
Okay, go downstairs and find your parents. Remember, don't pull on other people's pants next time.
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Bai Yu."
After Bai Yu put the little one down, she said goodbye to Bai Yu first, and then ran towards her parents outside the crowd.
Bai Yu is different from other contestants. The badges prepared by other contestants are probably related to the events they participate in, and most of them are some signature moves.
Besides this type of badge, Bai Yu also prepared many other badges, featuring various marine creatures, all of which were his catches from beachcombing or sea fishing.
The two badges the little guy took were one for catching bluefin tuna and one for catching yellowfin tuna. Badges related to giant fish are quite rare, and he didn't have many prepared, which is why he said the little guy was quite lucky.
Watching the little guy return to his parents, Bai Yu gave badges to the other fans, took photos with them, and then prepared to continue his run.
He runs more than ten kilometers every day, either once a day or twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
As the opening ceremony drew closer, Bai Yu ran less and less.
The main reason is that the opening ceremony is about to begin, and the athletes need to rehearse their entrance ceremony. Their positions also need to be arranged.
Bai Yu really didn't want the first place or the flag bearer position. He didn't want to be in the limelight, so he could only accept standing in the front row.
In the end, the flag bearers were not Bai Yu, but his old acquaintance Brother Long and another female athlete, with Bai Yu standing next to Brother Long.
In the end, I still couldn't escape the front row and had to face the Seine River with its pungent smell!
Fortunately, athletes were allowed to wear masks during the opening ceremony; otherwise, Bai Yu was genuinely afraid she would have thrown up.
After two simple rehearsals, the day arrived at July 26th, the official opening day of the Olympic Games.
On this day, Bai Yu and his team went to wait for the competition early. Fortunately, he was one of the participating athletes, so he only needed to enter the venue in order and didn't need to worry about anything else.
This is why he missed a very offensive performance, thus protecting his eyes from being tainted.
Seriously, and I'm not exaggerating at all, the opening ceremony of this year's Olympics was really too much of an eyesore. In my opinion, Bai Yu couldn't accept it at all.
Fortunately, Bai Yu didn't see it; he didn't see a thing from beginning to end.
With the conclusion of the opening ceremony, the Olympic Games officially began, and our athletes competed that very evening.
Bai Yu immediately took people to watch the game and cheer on our own players.
