The protagonist of the most bizarre moment of the nine events of the IAAF was … Usain Bolt. “Sprint King” for the fifth time in international competitions amazed “hat-trick”. He won the prestigious distances – 100 and 200 meters and 4×100 relay race led Jamaican m to victory.
However, there this was the loudest. After the triumph in the 200 meters, he made the usual round of honor. On the final straight, suddenly he invaded him from behind … Chinese cameraman on the Segway. Bolt fell, grabbed his leg and began to limp. After a while, everything was back to normal. World record holder at 100 and 200 meters at the press conference said, jokingly: “They tried to kill me.”
They showed that television around the world. The web was full of cinematics. Everyone saw it except … the Chinese. This moment was cut by the censors. The image is not fit for a perfect image of the Middle Kingdom, which strives for power.
Championships in Beijing were event considerable contrasts. The home crowd sat almost every set of supporters. They clapped, played.
– Because so they were told – summed up the gold medalist in discus throw, Piotr Malachowski. It’s hard to resist the impression that it was not.
The Chinese were trying to make everything perfect. This message had to go also in the world. A few days before the championships, when the new president was elected IAAF Briton Sebastian Coe, the air in Beijing was thick. Everywhere was visible and perceptible smog. The heat was hard to bear. But … From the first day of competition the sky was clear. Smog disappeared and improved … weather forecast.
China to host the 15th World Cup have issued 120 millions of dollars. Never in the history of this event was not yet such a big budget. For any complaints or requests responded immediately.
So it was even when the IAAF reminded them that Ticket goes below expectations. A week later it was announced that all have already been sold. However, no one mentioned then that of 800 thousand. tickets available – 280 thousand. bought ministry development. At every step in the so-called. Bird’s Nest therefore could meet a group of happy children …
The next world championships will be held in August 2017 in London.
