king of sprint

Chapter 141 God and God

The temperature in Hiroshima in March is around 3 degrees Celsius.

And the rainfall is a bit heavy.

When Rousseau and others arrived, it happened that there was a soft drizzle in the sky.

This is the first time Rousseau has gone abroad. Although the buildings in Hiroshima Prefecture are all reconstructed, they still have Japanese national characteristics. Especially when passing the commercial street near the airport, he found it very interesting to be full of wine shops and shop signs.

Including the female team leader sent by the Pengcheng Sports Committee, there are five people in total for this trip.

Since there was no commercial vehicle to pick up and drop off, they stopped two taxis.

The team leaders Si Rou, Lu Jinrong, and Tian Shiwei took one car.

Rousseau and Ruan Mei took another car.

Seeing Ruan Mei leaning over the car window looking at the scenery outside, she obviously missed the city she visited when she was a child, so Rousseau asked the taxi driver to take them around Hiroshima Prefecture.

"Taxis in Japan are so expensive..." Ruan Mei whispered, but she was still reluctant to take this opportunity, so she told the taxi driver where they were going in Japanese.

Ruan Mei's Japanese is OK.

Although I can't hear the accent of Hiroshima Prefecture at all.

Ruan Mei told Rousseau the story of their family on the way. The story was very long and involved three generations of grandparents, so she skipped it. Rousseau listened carefully to the story of the man known as the 'God of Sprinting'.

After all, there are many "gods" in Japan, eight million gods, so the god of sushi, the god of management, the god of rice, and the god of rice cakes have been heard a lot, but what Rousseau did not expect is that this god of sprinting is indeed There are grades.

……

IAAF Tour Hiroshima Athletics Open.

It's a bronze medal event.

This year is the fifth time it is held.

According to the regulations of the IAAF.

After holding an event of the same level for five consecutive years, one can apply to hold an event of the next higher level.

From the bronze-level open competition, to the silver-level grand prix, to the gold-level super grand prix, to becoming a fixed stop in the gold-level grand prix, this is an honor for a city in cultural and sports events.

In this process.

Proving to the World Athletics Federation that the city has a long and profound sports culture is an important part.

And nothing proves that more than a great athlete.

……

Hiroshi Tue, coach of the Japanese national team, looked at the athletes running on the track in front of him.

Although this athlete is 32 years old, he belongs to the "old age" in sprinting, and his explosive power and reaction ability are not as good as those of young players, but his experience can make up for all this, because he is the god of Japanese sprinting: Koji Kanno.

The first sprinter in Asia to run to 10 seconds.

Koji Kanno crossed the finish line.

Then ran towards Tu Jiangkuan.

"Coach, how much did I run?"

Doe Hiroshi showed him his achievements.

"It's a lot slower." Koji Kanno said with emotion, "Sprinting is really a young man's world."

"You are still fast." Hiroshi Tsuchie said, "Young Japanese athletes may not be faster than you."

"That's why an old guy like me was invited to participate in the Hiroshima Grand Prix, and I have to trouble you as my coach. The organizing committee hopes to keep the honor in Japan." Koji Kanno said.

"It is to keep the honor in Hiroshima." Hiroshi Tsuchie said, "In order to be able to hold a higher-level tour, the competition organizing committee hopes that we can win this competition, at least to ensure the top three."

"After all, it is my hometown, and I will do my best for it. Then, who are my opponents?" Koji Kanno asked.

"Because it's a bronze medal competition, there won't be too many strong opponents, mainly a few players from the United States. In addition, we must pay special attention to a player from the mainland named 'Rousseau'..." Tsue Hiroshi said.

……

Rousseau got out of the taxi in the slight drizzle.

He held up the umbrella, took Ruan Mei under it, and looked at this Japanese building that looked very old in the gray sky.

A private shoemaking studio with 'M.Lab' hanging on it.

Just as Ruan Mei pushed open the wooden door, she was politely stopped by a clerk.

M.Lab only accepts 10 to 15 guests a day, and today the number is full. Unless they are elite runners or well-known athletes, they will not be accepted.

"Your grandpa has a real accent." Rousseau sighed, "A well-known athlete... am I qualified to make a face?"

"Forget it, you may not be able to see grandpa when you go in." Ruan Mei gave up.

When the two turned around.

I happened to see another car stop at the gate of M.Lab. It was a black business car. The sliding door opened, and a sturdy man in sportswear got out of the car with a sports bag. Someone waved him goodbye.

The two were talking in Japanese, which Rousseau couldn't understand, but Ruan Mei could understand, so Rousseau saw Ruan Mei staring at the man in the sportswear and couldn't move his eyes.

At this time, there was another greeting in the car: "Rousseau!"

Hey?
Rousseau looked in and saw... well, who is this?

The round, middle-aged man reached out to Rousseau after getting out of the car, and spoke a lot of Japanese with a friendly attitude, but Rousseau didn't understand.

Rousseau looked at Ruan Mei hesitantly, but Ruan Mei had already withdrawn her attention and helped Rousseau translate: "He said his name is Tu Jiangkuan, and he met you at the East Asian Youth Games."

"Oh~" Rousseau remembered, the coaches of the Japanese team Fujimitsu Masafun and Utaki Kenji.

"Are you Xiaomei?" At this time, the man in sportswear also looked at Ruan Mei and asked, "I'm your Uncle Haoji!"

Rousseau didn't understand this sentence either, it was translated by Ruan Mei to Rousseau when walking into M.Lab.

Very good, we all know each other.

……

Inside M.Lab.

Rousseau, Ruan Mei, Kanno Koji and an old man sat opposite each other.

That old man is Jinji Mimura, the god of running shoes in Japan.

"Please drink tea." Koji Kanno entertained Rousseau with a smile, "What a coincidence, we will be rivals tomorrow, but we meet at my house today, and you and Xiaomei are friends, what a fate."

Of course, Koji Kanno spoke Japanese, and Mei Ruan translated it.

At this time, the old man said to Ruan Mei what he said after entering the door. The old man's attitude was cold from beginning to end, so Ruan Mei hurriedly replied, and at the same time showed some information to the old man, but the old man looked dismissive .

Rousseau had no choice but to drink tea.

He really wanted to have a chat with Koji Kanno, such as what it was like to run 10 seconds, and what it was like to be called the 'God of Sprinting'.

Rousseau has always wanted to be the "king of sprinting", but now he is a bit inferior to the title of "god of sprinting". Besides, there is also a "god of running shoes" in his family. Will it be crowded if there are two gods in one family? point?
But without Ruan Mei's translation, Rousseau couldn't communicate with Koji Kanno, so he could only drink tea, drink tea, and drink tea.

During this process, Tian Shiwei sent a text message asking where did Rousseau go?lost?
Rousseau replied: drink tea at Ruan Mei's house.

Tian Shiwei: What?Ruan Mei brought her son-in-law to the door!
Rousseau: Go away.
