From the second day, the Olympic Games officially began. It is different from the compact schedule of the later Olympic Games. Because there are not many events and the number of participants is limited, the competition is also arranged very loosely. For example, the entire main stadium has a 100-meter run and two races on the first day. It's just the preliminaries for the 100-meter race.

Because all athletes are amateurs who participate at their own expense and need to pay for the competition entirely by themselves, there are not many players from foreign countries. However, the French players, especially those from Paris, can take the train to the competition before the competition, and take the train home after the competition. In addition, the railway company has given the participants a free ticket discount, so even some low-level workers , As long as the factory approves the holiday, it is also eligible to participate. As for whether the manufacturer will approve it, this is not a problem at all, because when a worker contestant competes, according to the agreement he reached with the manufacturer when he asked for leave, he must wear clothes printed with the manufacturer's advertisement.

Speaking of it, Napoleon really wanted to restore the rules of the ancient Olympic Games in which all athletes compete naked. That was before Polina asked to participate. But as soon as this idea was put forward, Lucian was scolded bloodily. Lucien said: "Do you know why the high-priced tickets at the scene, especially the private room tickets, are selling well? Because many of these tickets are bought in pairs! How much ticket revenue will be lost by doing this? Also, athletes The clothes you wear are also business, you know? Polina has been staring at this! Also, there can be advertisements on the clothes. This is money again... God, how much money is in it, I will calculate it soon I don’t know! What tradition do you want to let go of these opportunities to make money? Hell, compared with these cute little money, tradition? Tradition is a ball!"

If it were before, Napoleon would certainly sneer, but this time, after hearing Lucien's objection, he thought about it and admitted in his heart that Lucien's words were indeed reasonable.

"Lucien, I just mentioned it casually, just joking." Napoleon said.

"Fortunately, you didn't go to play such a joke with Joseph directly." Lucien said.

When Napoleon heard this, he couldn't help but tremble: "Damn it, Joseph, it's okay to joke about other things, you can't make a joke at all when it comes to money!"

"Who said that?" Lucian retorted, "There is clearly a math homework, so it is the same!" Although it has been a long time since I did the math homework given by Joseph, even after so long, in retrospect, Lu Xi'an still felt cold all over, and couldn't help shaking.

Of course, the advertisements on the clothes worn during the competition have limited meaning. After all, there is no television broadcast in this era, and even photography technology has not yet appeared. (In a certain laboratory, there have been some studies, and even the first photo has been taken. However, this set of things takes up to half an hour to complete a photo. In addition to shooting the scenery, Basically it's useless.) But once he wins the game and is on the podium, the advertisement on his body can be entrained in the newspaper news report. Just taking a few days off in exchange for such an opportunity, I can’t help but say that this is really a profit.

Therefore, the number of athletes in Paris is extremely large, even accounting for almost two-thirds of the entire French delegation, while the number of athletes in the French delegation accounts for almost two-thirds of the total number of athletes.

Mali-Henry Bell signed up to participate in the equestrian competition, but he did not have enough money to buy expensive thoroughbred horses, and spent a long time practicing on the official competition venues. Like most contestants, he can only Use his own horse-because he served in the cavalry, and his car "Little Clever" is also old, like him to retire, he bought this horse. This gray horse is as clever as its name, but it is old after all, and it is not a horse breed known for speed. Mali-Henry Bell knew that it was impossible for him and his old horse to pass the preliminaries. Even the mixed-breed Arabian horse that his classmate's home used to pull the carriage can easily get rid of his "little clever ghost" in a speed race. So Mari-Henry Bell signed up for an obstacle course. The "little clever ghost" is old and can't run fast, but it is more clever than before. Therefore, in the obstacle course, it should still be able to finish the race. For amateurs like Mari-Henry Bell, This is enough.

But now the equestrian competition has not yet started, so Mari-Henri Bell still has time to give his classmates, um, the guy named Bau Saieng who has a mixed Arabian horse-drawn carriage at home. This guy's ideal turned out to be a news reporter. Mari-Henry Bell therefore joked with him: "My brother, your ideal is certainly good, but journalists need to run very fast, especially if you want to be, there are many opportunities to interview those in the Moulin Rouge. The sociable kind needs to run as fast as Heracles. So, you have to strengthen your exercise!"

As a result, Bou Saiang took his words seriously and really practiced running seriously every day. This time this guy reported all the running events in one go, and successfully passed the 100-meter and 200-meter screening. (The marathon does not need to be selected) So today, Mari-Henry Bell is now at the main venue, sitting at a distance from the runway (only the tickets from there are bought), to watch his friend's game.

Today is the 100-meter preliminaries. Because the available stopwatch has not yet been made, the preliminaries are slightly different from the rest of the world. The first is to draw lots, with eight people in each group, and then directly enter the second round of the top two in each group. Compared with the method of timekeeping in later generations, in this method, whether you can enter the next round, the luck of the draw is quite important.

Bou Saion ranked relatively late today, so he has not yet played. Mali also watched other people's games quite boredly. Speaking of which, the race in this era is completely different from the Olympic Games of later generations. First of all, the players are all white. Unlike later generations, there are almost no non-black runners on the track. In addition, these runners are also very amateurs, so that they don’t even have sportswear. Many people wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers to participate in the races. When they run, Mali feels like they would participate in the race. I have become more and more confident about what kind of results I will get. I believe that Bou Saiang, who is watching the game in the athletes rest area at this time, must have the same idea. Of course, the premise is that he is not stupid enough to wear trousers or even step on high heels to compete.

After running for two rounds, Mali finally heard the name of his friend Bou Saiang on the radio. He raised his binoculars and looked towards the starting line, and then he saw his friend on the third lane. He also wears long clothes and trousers, but at any rate it is not the kind of complicated trousers, and of course he does not wear high heels.

But the other player next to him obviously attracted more people's attention. This man wore a vest, showing the hard muscles on his arms. On the chest of the vest, there was also a big sun printed—obviously, this was a reporter from the Sun newspaper. And under him, he was dressed more coolly with only a pair of shorts, so that his thick thighs were all exposed.

"Ah... how could he wear nothing?" Beside Mali, a girl screamed and covered her eyes with her hand. She also held a brass telescope in her other hand.

Mali glanced at the girl, who was not pretty, she had a lot of freckles on her face. So Mali immediately decided to put all his energy back on cheering for friends. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Just listen to the voice, I thought it was a princess."

The guy from the Sun is not only dressed strangely, but also prepared strangely. He knelt down on the runway, and Mali thought he would draw a cross on his chest or something. But this man did not like this. Instead, he stood up again and dug up the ground vigorously with his feet, and quickly dug two small holes in the cinder track.

"What is this? What is he doing?" The nice voice rang again. Mali tilted his eyes and saw that the girl who was still covering her eyes had raised the telescope again.

The guy knelt down again and put both feet into the pit. This time Mali noticed that this man's shoes seemed to be different from everyone's. The sole seems to be made of rubber.

In this era ~lightnovelpub.net~ In France, rubber wheels have been widely used, and many people have used waste tires to make shoe soles. But this pair of shoes is more exquisite than those homemade shoes with tire soles.

After waving the flags at the start and the end, the game is about to begin. The referee blew his whistle to remind the athletes to prepare. Everyone became nervous. In a variety of strange poses. The reporter still didn't stand up but just lifted up, his hands still on the ground, but his buttocks were raised high. It looks so weird.

The referee raised the starting gun, and then Mali saw a puff of green smoke rising from the referee's hand. At the same time, everyone rushed out together.

The reporter from the Sun newspaper rushed the fastest. He was like a projectile shot from a slingshot. He suddenly rushed out. Just at the start he threw everyone around him down one or two positions. .

"Really worthy of being a reporter from The Sun!" someone nearby shouted with a fist.
