Bai Yu's training camp has ended, but that doesn't mean he can be idle and sleep in every day.
Now, no matter what, it's close to the opening of the Olympics, and every day that passes is one day less.
At this time, both Bai Yu's head coach, Coach Li, and the leaders above are attaching great importance to this Olympics.
So even though Bai Yu has returned to Sanya, his training will not stop; he needs to train every day.
After all, training is different from other things. No matter what kind of training it is, it's always a matter of either progressing or regressing. If you want to progress, you can't do without training.
Even though Bai Yu is one of the world's top athletes, he still has to keep training.
This situation lasted for about a month until early July, when Bai Yu's situation finally came to a stop.
To be precise, it wasn't something he could stop whenever he wanted; it was just that as July approached, the opening of the Olympics was not far off.
Bai Yu and his team also needed to go to Paris in advance to prepare, since this competition was being held in a foreign country, and there was a time difference between Paris and our home.
Even for a top player like Bai Yu, time difference is still a formidable opponent. If he doesn't adjust to the time difference, it will have a significant impact on his performance.
Therefore, Bai Yu naturally needs to go to Paris some time in advance to adjust her condition.
Of course, Bai Yu didn't go to Paris alone this time; she went with the national team, who had a chartered flight service.
Bai Yu and his companions' flight was mostly filled with members of their track and field team.
Although we are not particularly strong in track and field, and some events are only at the minimum participation level, this flight is still almost full.
There are dozens of athletes participating, but there are more women than men among them.
There's nothing we can do about it. In track and field, the men in our family are not as talented as Lao Hei, and they can only participate in a very limited number of events.
However, when it comes to women, our family members, whether compared to Black or White people, are not far behind.
This is why there are naturally fewer male track and field athletes compared to female athletes.
Besides the athletes, the rest are staff members, including coaches, assistant coaches, and the track and field team's leaders. The total number of these people is much greater than the number of athletes.
Bai Yu, in particular, led a team of four, including an assistant, a coach, a nutritionist, and a translator.
Moreover, Bai Yu's plane ticket was for a first-class seat, and she enjoyed a very high level of service.
However, regarding the services that Bai Yu enjoyed, few of the other athletes could voice their dissatisfaction, aside from their envy.
There's nothing they can do; they're all athletes. This is a profession where strength speaks volumes. The stronger someone is, the more treatment they receive and the greater their influence.
Not to mention that Bai Yu went abroad every day to work as a foreign coach not long ago, which earned the track and field team a lot of money, most of which will be used for them.
So what reason do they have to complain?
As for whether they want to receive the same treatment as Bai Yu?
That's definitely something I'd like to do, but there's a prerequisite for getting good treatment: you have to be strong. Strength determines status and influence.
As mid-July approached, Bai Yu followed the track and field team to the host city of this year's Olympic Games: Greater Paris!
As soon as Bai Yu stepped off the plane, she felt a wave of heat, and the air was also mixed with some unpleasant smells.
Bai Yu wasn't too concerned at first. He got off the plane and ran straight into the bus, where he turned on the air conditioning.
After getting off the bus, Bai Yu also started running, and his running inspired the entire track and field team to get moving as well.
Everyone followed Bai Yu and ran towards the Olympic Village.
Before getting off the bus, staff had already told them where their rooms were during the Olympics. As soon as Bai Yu entered the Olympic Village, he began looking for his own room.
To be honest, the track and field team is really strong in running. Bai Yu jogged all the way to her room, and even ran upstairs.
When he opened his door and went inside, he was very satisfied with the facilities in the room. He was very satisfied with both the air conditioning and the bathroom.
Moreover, it is very easy for him to use because all the facilities inside are made in China, from air conditioners to water heaters, and then towels, toothbrushes, and cups, all of which are written in Chinese.
At first, Bai Yu thought this was an arrangement by Paris Saint-Germain, providing different electrical facilities to athletes from different countries to prevent athletes from being unable to use foreign products.
But when Coach Li came to his room and told him about the recent training schedule, he realized that everything in the room, except for the bed, belonged to his family and had been shipped back from China by them!
In other words, it's the height of summer, July, and those bastards at Paris Saint-Germain haven't even considered providing air conditioning for the players.
They even went so far as to claim it was for environmental protection, arguing that cooling down should rely on the body's natural cooling mechanism.
And this is supposed to be environmentally friendly? The streets of Greater Paris are full of gasoline cars, and they don't use any of the environmentally friendly new energy vehicles. And you're telling them to be environmentally friendly?
Of course, complaining is one thing, but once the complaining is over, it's over, and he won't have any other thoughts.
Anyway, we've already prepared everything we need. If you don't provide air conditioning, we'll bring our own. As for the athletes from other countries, what does it have to do with us?
Then Bai Yu will start undergoing checkups, pre-match examinations, such as blood and urine tests, which are common procedures.
Moreover, the time the other party takes to perform the test is not fixed; they can come whenever they want to do it.
Bai Yu was used to this situation; after all, he was of Asian descent, and a three-time Grand Slam Asian long-distance runner at that.
He had already enjoyed this kind of treatment before, such as having his urine collected three or four times a day, which were all minor matters.
Sometimes Bai Yu wondered if these testing personnel were all perverts, collecting his urine so many times a day, were they planning to take it home and collect it?
As far as Bai Yu was concerned, he would just cooperate with whatever the other party wanted to do. In any case, no matter what the other party did, it would not affect the final result. Instead, he would only bring trouble upon himself.
It was because after many attempts, they found that this method was not effective on him, so they reduced the sampling of his samples to once every two or three days, or even once every longer period of time.
However, not everyone is Bai Yu, and not everyone has his terrifying strength. For those players who are strong but not in a commanding lead, they will still be targeted.
The worst off are the swimmers, who are targeted particularly hard. All they do every day is collect samples, and they can't even get a proper rest.
Bai Yu had heard about these things, but there was nothing he could do about it, after all, he was just an athlete.
Besides, even if something needs to be done, it should be the responsibility of the swimming team's leaders and team leaders.
As for Bai Yu, he took Wang Hai out the next day and started strolling around Greater Paris.
I feel it's necessary to defend Paris. Everyone says that Greater Paris is unsafe, with a lot of thieves and criminals.
However, Bai Yu and Wang Hai wandered around here for two days and did not notice anything unusual. As long as you don't go out at night and don't carry a bag, there will be no problem.
The only downside is that the once romantic city of Paris has disappeared, replaced by a city filled with a foul stench.
"Brother Yu, is this still the Seine we visited last year? Why does it smell even worse now? Didn't they say the Paris city government spent a lot of money cleaning it up? How come it's getting smellier the more they clean it up?"
Bai Yu and her companion had originally planned to take a stroll along the Seine, but as they got closer to the river, the stench became increasingly pungent.
In the end, they were blocked more than a hundred meters away from the Seine River.
It's worth noting that this wasn't their first time on the Seine. They had come here in a yacht during their round-the-world trip last year, and while the Seine was quite dirty then, the stench was slightly milder.
This year is different. The stench has not only become more pungent, but it's also starting to sting your eyes as you get closer.
"Who knows what they did? The Olympics are about to start, and the Seine looks like this."
Sigh! I wonder if the athletes who will have to compete in this river later on will be able to handle it. I hope they can.
As Bai Yu spoke, she immediately led Wang Hai back.
He can't go to the Seine now; he has no masochistic tendencies and doesn't want to go to the riverbank to smell that stench.
Anyway, for him, things like the romantic city of Paris are irrelevant, and he won't be racing in this river anymore.
Oh my god, I almost forgot the most important thing: the opening ceremony of this Olympics seems to have been held on the Seine River!
Upon realizing this, Bai Yu, who had been strolling along, immediately grabbed Wang Hai and started running towards the Olympic Village. He wanted to ask for leave; he wouldn't be attending the opening ceremony!
But is that even possible?
Of course, that's impossible. The national team even planned to arrange for Bai Yu to be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Even if she's not the flag bearer, she'll still be in the position next to the flag bearer.
Under such arrangements, how could his request for leave possibly be approved?
Hearing the arrangement from above, Bai Yu was filled with helplessness. This was the flag bearer, who was at the very front of the team. Now, there was no escaping it.
Since Bai Yu wanted to avoid the leader but couldn't, he should think of another way. How about wearing a mask?
Although the pandemic has been completely relaxed, no one is saying we can't wear masks. After all, masks haven't been completely eradicated; people just don't care anymore.
Whether for her own sake or for the sake of the other contestants, Bai Yu felt it was necessary to wear a mask.
Even if he isn't the final flag bearer, he will still wear it, and no one can stop him!
Regarding the flag bearer position, besides Bai Yu, there are several other candidates, such as Long from the table tennis team, who are all highly decorated.
Bai Yu wasn't too concerned about whether he could become a flag bearer. He had been one before and had the experience, which was enough for him.
His main principle is not to force things, but to follow instructions. He does whatever his superiors tell him to do!
