Portland is the most populous city in Oregon and is also the second largest city in the Pacific Northwest United States after Seattle. For example, a city with a relatively large population, the sports industry will naturally have a relatively large market.

At the Portland State University stadium, the 400-meter game for the Disabled Games is about to begin.

400 meters is the most difficult event in the track race. It requires extremely high physical fitness and is difficult to train. Simply put, the threshold for participation is high. Many athletes with sound limbs would rather choose 100 meters and 200 meters than run 400 meters. For disabled athletes, there are even fewer people running 400 meters. Many disabled athletes will not set up the 400 meters event at all.

Today, there are only five athletes participating in the t43/44 level 400m run, which means that if you have a medium-sized run, you can win a third place.

In the disabled competition, Philip is a well-deserved star. As a world motivation holder of 100 meters and 200 meters in this level, Philip will challenge 400 meters for the first time in this competition, which has attracted a lot of audiences.

Steven stood beside Li Dai, pointed to a fat middle-aged man with a big belly in the stands, and said, "That person is what I said, the head of Dave Charity, he has agreed to provide us with a sponsorship fee of $5,000."

"It's $5,000, he's so generous. An average charity is willing to sponsor two or three thousand dollars at most." Li Dai said casually.

"There is also the one in a gray suit on the left." Steven pointed another direction, and then spoke: "That person is the owner of a medical equipment store. We have negotiated the price. If Philip can break the world record of 400 meters this time, he is willing to pay a 30,000 US dollars endorsement fee."

"30,000 US dollars, is it a one-year term?" Li Dai continued.

Steven nodded: "The intention proposed by the other party is for one year. If Philip can continue to maintain his grades, it is not impossible to renew his contract in a year."

"I suggest that this endorsement be delayed first." Li Dai said.

"Why? This price is already very good, and you can get a commission of $1,500." Steven's tone was full of objection.

"At the beginning of next month, there will be a very important game. If Philip performs well in that game, his commercial value will be greatly improved. At that time, he may receive endorsements of 200,000 to 300,000," Li Dai said.

"Are you going to get the beginning of next month? There are more than two weeks left." Steven thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll try to delay. By the way, can you tell me what the game is?"

"The World Track and Field Championships will be held in Sacramento." Li Dai replied.

"Is the World Championships for Disabled People about to start again? That's great, Philip will definitely make a big splash. It seems that I'm going to be busy!" Steven said happily.

"I'm not talking about the World Championships for the Disabled, or the World Track and Field Championships selection." Li Dai said with his arms folded and looked at the track.

"Yeah? Is there a difference?" Steven didn't understand Li Dai's meaning for a moment.

Li Dai smiled. He did not explain in detail, but instead signaled the track ahead with his eyes, and said, "Let's watch the competition first, the competition is about to begin."

While Li Dai spoke, the commander had already shouted the starting order, and Steven turned his attention to the track.

With a gunshot, five contestants from 400 meters rushed out of the starting line at the same time.

Steven's expression suddenly seemed a little nervous. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, which were related to tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorship fees and advertising endorsement fees. It was also Steven's first business since becoming Philip's agent. Of course, Steven felt nervous.

However, after more than ten seconds, Steven's expression seemed to relax, and he spoke, "Phillip is much faster than the others!"

"Did you see it too?" Li Dai asked with a smile on his face.

Steven nodded: "I should have read it right?"

"You can see that it must be wrong." Li Dai replied.

400 meters is a split-track running. When starting, the starting position of the outer track will be relatively forward, while the starting position of the inner track will be relatively backward. Everyone's starting position is different, so on the surface, the people on the outer track seem to be running in the front.

If an insider is generally able to distinguish the athletes' front and back. For an outsider, he often enters the straight path of the last 100 meters to tell who is ahead and who is behind.

But now, even Steven, an amateur, can see that Philip is much faster than others, which means that Philip's advantages are really obvious.

In fact, in the eyes of professionals, Philip's speed at this time is no less than that of ordinary athletes at ordinary levels. For disabled people, this is simply incredible.

As disabled athletes, their running speed is definitely much slower than normal athletes. For example, the 400 meters in the t43/44 level where Philip is located. The fastest male disabled athletes cannot match normal female athletes, and they are incomparable to normal male athletes.

Philip is like an alternative. Although his current speed is still not as good as those top 400-meter players, he has at least a fight compared to ordinary normal athletes.

The speed of normal people is placed in the disabled race, just like the Fuxing high-speed train encountered a green train, and the speed was completely crushed. When Philip entered the last straight 400 meters, the other four contestants were still struggling desperately in the middle of the bend behind.

"It is worthy of being the holder of the world record of 100 meters and 200 meters in this project. Even in the 400 meters project, there is still a huge advantage. The outcome is no longer suspense. The key is whether Philip can break the world record of 400 meters!" The commentator on the scene said endlessly.

"I think there is no suspense about Philip breaking the 400-meter world record again. His result may be close to 46 seconds." Another commentator said.

"46 seconds? If I remember correctly, this result is very close to the Olympic B-mark. In the group stage of the last Olympic Games, at least one-third of the players scored outside the 46 seconds."

"Look, Philip is close to the finish line. He is at least two seconds ahead of the other players and crosses the finish line! We congratulate Philip on winning the championship. His result is... Oh my god, 45 seconds 51!"

The timing card at the finish line contains a 45-second 51 number, which is undoubtedly the world record of t43/44. More importantly, if this result is put into a normal competition, it will also reach the Olympic A-grade! To be honest, even around the world, most professional athletes cannot achieve this result.

"I'm right, 45 seconds 51, isn't the Olympic A-level standard only 45 seconds 55? So Philip is already capable of participating in the Olympics, he is a disabled person! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it! A disabled athlete actually showed strength that was not inferior to a healthy person!" The commentator's loud voice resounded throughout the audience.

For ordinary audiences, they certainly can't remember any Olympic A-marks, but after the commentator's introduction, everyone thought Philip was very powerful.

Steven turned his head and looked at Li Dai, his eyes filled with shock.

"You knew it long ago, you knew it would be like this, right?" Steven asked.

"I told you before that Philip is very talented!" Li Dai paused and continued, "I am his coach. Do you think I knew it long ago?"

"But he is a disabled person after all. He doesn't have feet, so how can he be as fast as a normal athlete!" Steven's voice was excited and trembling.

Li Dai did not answer, but just glared at Steven quietly.

At the same time, Steven also remembered the important competition that Li Dai said just now, he would participate in next month.

"Coach Li just said that it was a qualifier for the World Championships, which refers to a normal game!" Steven's thoughts suddenly became confused.
Chapter completed!
