Chapter 108 The King of Track and Field Breaks the 60-meter Record Again

Germany, Stuttgart.

January 29th coincided with the Saturday break, so the Sparkson Cup indoor track and field competition attracted a lot of spectators.

Zhang Guan has just broken the world record for the indoor 60-meter sprint, and it can be said that he is in the limelight. When he appeared on the competition field, he immediately enjoyed star-level treatment. Obviously, whether it is the organizer, the participating athletes, or the audience, they are all full of expectations for the world's number one flying man.

Germany's sports atmosphere is definitely at the forefront among developed European countries. In addition to football, Germans are also very interested in other sports, whether it is summer sports or winter sports, whether it is land or water sports. Whether it is an indoor event or an outdoor event, the participation of the public is very high, so people who care about sports competitions will always find that no matter what the competition is, there will always be Germans, and the Germans will always achieve good results. grades. This can also be seen from the distribution of German medals in the Olympic Games. The events are very even. They do not have a specific strength or weakness. They will not monopolize all the medals in a major event like China and the United States. , but to bloom more in various sports, such as track and field, swimming, diving, weightlifting, shooting, three-ball, horse racing, kayaking, etc. It seems that there is no German who is not good at it, even table tennis. There can also be players like Tim Ball who are capable of breaking the monopoly of Chinese athletes.

The Germans are also much more generous and rich than the Russians. They gave Zhang Guan an appearance fee of 40,000 US dollars, which is definitely high in an indoor competition level, but the organizer also paid Zhang Guan I made a small request, hoping that Zhang Guan can visit the Stuttgart Football Club and watch the Stuttgart home game against Nuremberg tomorrow night. Apparently FC Stuttgart sponsored the match.

Even this kind of football club with a history of more than 100 years needs to be promoted. On the road of professionalization of sports and commercialization of professional clubs, even a giant like Real Madrid will invite some celebrities to visit from time to time. Come to visit training, interact with players, exchange gifts, etc., and then use soft publicity in the form of news, the effect will be much better than direct advertising. European football clubs already have a sound business operation method, and they understand this very well.

Signing autographs and group photos became Zhang Guan's main tasks before the game. Athletes, coaches, staff, and enthusiastic audiences... In short, Zhang Guan felt that he was surrounded all the time, but fortunately, the Germans are more orderly, even if they sign a group photo It is also very regular to come one by one.

Finally, it was Zhang Guan's appearance, a simple first round of preliminaries, and then an easy first promotion, in exchange for bursts of cheers from the audience, followed by autographs and group photos...

At lunch, Zhang Guan tasted authentic German sausages in the buffet. According to the regulations of the national team, athletes are not allowed to eat meat or meat products casually when dining out, mainly to avoid eating something that should not be eaten, such as diuretic ingredients or hormone ingredients, which are classified as stimulants A sort of. But for events like this IAAF, the organizers prepare a buffet, and the IAAF requires samples of every dish. And every participating athlete and coach will eat it, so you don’t have to worry too much about safety issues. If you eat something like doping, everyone will be recruited together. According to the regulations, as long as the problem of doping is found, no matter it is a single person or a group of people, the IAAF will directly test the reserved food samples. If the problem is caused by the food provided by the organizer, the IAAF will not punish the athletes. , and athletes can also claim compensation from the sponsor.

In the afternoon, in the final of the indoor 60-meter event, Zhang Guan did not use the potion, his physical strength was still over 80, and perhaps because he was in a good mood, his state was also at a high point of 90, he felt that this state It is possible to break the world record for the indoor 60-meter sprint again.

The indoor 60-meter sprint is not an Olympic event, so the attention is naturally not as high as the 100-meter sprint. The world's top 100-meter runners often don't participate in the indoor 60-meter sprint competition. Even if they participate, they are still not very famous. Once they become famous, they will put the competition center on the Olympic competition. Well, if Zhang Guan hadn't been looking for an excuse to go abroad and hide for a while, he would definitely not have participated in this low-level indoor competition. Also because of this, the gold content of the indoor 60-meter world record is far less than that of the 100-meter sprint, so it will be easier to break the world record.

The opponent in the final was stronger than that of the Moscow Indoor Competition, but it was still not a threat to Zhang Guanzao. Among the sprinters in Europe, except for Portugal's Obike Vilu who can keep up with Zhang Guan's rhythm, the other athletes are still one level behind Zhang Guan.

...

With the sound of the starting gun, Zhang Guan quickly rushed to the leading position. The competitors were not strong, which made the competition not so intense.

"At the start of the race, Zhang took the lead. He was accelerating, and the other athletes were desperately catching up. Zhang had a huge advantage and was about to cross the line! Crossed the line! Zhang won the championship, and we congratulate him!"

The commentator looked at the track, his voice was a little flat, as if he couldn't shout at all. The gap between the athletes on the field is too large. When Zhang Guan won the championship, he took the lead from the beginning to the end of the game, completely following the script written in the commentator's mind. There is no sudden change, and this kind of game makes the commentator feel unenthusiastic.

"Call work, prepare for the next match commentary." The commentator thought to himself.

Just as Zhang Guancai crossed the finish line, the commentator picked up the athlete information for the next game from the side, and then flipped through it, but then, there was a burst of manic applause in the field, which was mixed with screams and whistles, as if nothing happened. Like a tsunami without warning, it rushed in.

"What's going on?" The commentator was interrupted by this sudden change, then raised his head and focused his attention on the field again.

"6.36 seconds!" The commentator on the scene screamed, the voice was like a dog whose tail was rubbed. But then, he immediately restrained his excitement, and then his voice returned to normal, and he said: "6.36 seconds, a new world record for the indoor 60-meter sprint! It is a new world record! Incredible! Incredible! Last weekend, To be precise, it was Sunday that Zhang Guan broke the world record for the indoor 60-meter sprint in the indoor race in Moscow. Now that the week has not passed, he broke the world record for this event again! Within a week, he Breaking the world record twice! It's unbelievable! I can't find the right words to praise him now!"

In the cheers of the commentary, the audience went crazy. They spent money to buy tickets to watch the game. The purpose is to appreciate the wonderful performance of the athletes, and the most wonderful performance is no different from breaking the world record. At this moment, the audience feels that their tickets are worth buying. They have witnessed a A new world record was born, and they did not spare their cheers and applause. If before, they paid attention to Zhang Guan only because of Zhang Guan's fame, then now, they are completely overwhelmed by Zhang Guan's strength, broke the world record twice in a week, which is enough to conquer the most discerning audience in the world.

The next day, Zhang Guan insisted on visiting the Stuttgart Football Club. The club gave Zhang Guan a jersey with "Zhang" printed on its name. Then, Zhang Guan watched the football match between Stuttgart and Nuremberg at home. This is also the winter break of the Bundesliga. Stuttgart's first game at home after the period.

On the third day, Zhang Guan rushed to Berlin and boarded the plane back to China.

...

The news that Zhang Guan once again broke the world record in the 60-meter sprint was sent back to China immediately. He broke the world record twice in a week. Although it was an indoor 60-meter race, it was still considered unmanned. The entire Athletic Association was filled with jubilation. As the Spring Festival approached, everyone hoped to hear some good news. Of course, some people were not happy when they heard the news, such as President Qu.

On the morning of the next day, the president of the association attended a meeting at the Federation. In the afternoon, the president immediately summoned the main leaders of the association to convey the spirit of the meeting to everyone.

The chairman walked into the meeting room with a happy face, sat in his seat, saw that everyone had arrived, and then said: "This morning, I went to the General Administration to attend a meeting. This meeting was personally organized by the director. Called, next, I will convey the spirit of the meeting to everyone, I hope you can study and experience it seriously.”

The president said, opened the notebook in his hand, and began to convey the spirit of the meeting to everyone. The first half of the part was some words that everyone had heard many times. It was nothing more than affirmation of the achievements made in the sports industry. Learn from the spirit of superior guidance, strengthen self-construction, promote the continued vigorous development of sports, and so on.

After saying this, the chairman changed his voice, and then said: "The leaders of the Bureau are particularly affirmed by the achievements of our Athletics Association in recent years. The leaders pointed out that before the first month of this year is over, Zhang Guan has twice Breaking the world record gave us a good start. At the same time, the leader expressed great affirmation of our recent athlete management work. Finally, the leader asked us to actively plan, seize opportunities, and innovate in our future work. On the current basis, we will comprehensively promote personnel training and athlete career development, and make new contributions to promoting the overall development of my country's track and field industry!"

When the president said this, his voice was deliberately raised a bit, which made his speech style instantly improved a bit. Then he put down the notebook in his hand, and continued: "I will convey the spirit of the meeting here. I think the leadership's instructions are very clear. I think the General Administration's affirmation of our work is not only an encouragement, but also a spur. So we can't be complacent, we must continue to work hard, work hard, and do a good job."

The chairman changed his voice, and then said: "Zhang Guan broke the world record twice in a week, which is unique in the history of world track and field. In the past, everyone paid attention to the Football Association, the Basketball Association, and even the Table Tennis Association and the Badminton Association. , received more attention than us! So we have to seize the opportunity of Zhang Guan breaking the world record, increase publicity, create a publicity atmosphere, and establish a positive publicity image in the hearts of the media and the public..."

Not far away, President Qu held a pen and pretended to be recording, but his mood was very depressed. The chairman has already set the tone and wants to promote Zhang Guan in a positive direction, so it seems that Zhang Guan's management team has been preserved.

...

The program list of the Spring Festival Gala is still kept secret at this stage, but as long as confidentiality is mentioned, it means that the secret will be leaked immediately. Two days later, the program list appeared in the eyes of the media. Although it was not the final program list, it was almost the same.

Judging from the program list of the Spring Festival Gala leaked so far, Zhang Guan's singing can be regarded as the biggest highlight. It is said that almost five months have passed since the Olympic Games, and the gust of sports should have blown over. However, in the last few days, the news that Zhang Guan broke the 60-meter sprint consecutively spread throughout the country, and the gust of sports was blown again. The matter of the Olympic champion attending the Spring Festival Gala has also become a focus of public opinion.

Soon after, the program list of the Spring Festival Gala was officially announced, and Olympic stars such as Zhang Guan, Liu Feiren, and women's volleyball team will appear on this Spring Festival Gala.

...

The International Hall of Capital Airport. Zhang Guan wrapped himself up tightly, with hats, masks, sunglasses, and long down jackets, so that others could not recognize him.

Zhang Guan stood in a very inconspicuous place, staring carefully at the exit gate. A moment later, a tall figure appeared in Zhang Guan's line of sight. She was also tightly wrapped, complete with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Seeing her, Zhang Guan walked up quickly, and then gave her a Big hugs.

The people around just forgot about them and found that one of them was a blond foreign woman, so they didn't care and continued to go about their own business. In everyone's opinion, it is normal to use this kind of hug etiquette for Westerners.

"Wait for me soon?" Sharapova asked.

"No, I don't dare to come too early, for fear that others will recognize it. The car is over there, let's talk about it after getting in the car." Zhang Guan helped Sharapova carry the luggage and walked towards the parking lot.

In the Pan Pacific Open that began on January 31, after fierce fighting, Sharapova won the championship again. This competition was held in Tokyo, Japan, and Sharapova's next competition was the Qatar Open on February 21, so she decided to take advantage of this period of time to come to China to find Zhang Guan.

"I didn't expect to come to China again so soon, and it's also the Spring Festival. I can just feel what the Chinese Spring Festival is like." Sharapova leaned on the seat, and then said: "You still have to Take me to the Great Wall, and I also want to see giant pandas."

"No problem." Zhang Guan nodded: "I told you before that I'm going to the New Year's Eve party, and there are two rehearsals before that. Other than that, my time is all yours."

"Oh? Then how long can you stay with me?" Sharapova asked.

"It depends on when you leave." Zhang Guan thought for a while, and then said: "There will be a Melbourne Athletics Grand Prix on February 10, but if you want to come, I will push it away. Throughout February, indoors in Europe The competition is relatively intensive, indoor competition, the level is relatively low, I don’t care if I go or not. The main thing is to accompany you.”

Sharapova felt warm in her heart. After thinking about it, she felt that Zhang Guan's game should not be delayed too much, and she also needed training, so she said, "Well, I will arrive in Qatar a week in advance, about 2 May 13th, I also need to do some adaptive training. By the way, I heard that the New Year's Gala you are going to attend is the one with the largest audience in the world, what show are you going to perform?"

"Sing. Go sing a song." Zhang Guan said.

"You can sing! I want to hear it."

"Chinese songs, you don't understand."

"If I don't understand, I will listen." Sharapova showed the posture of a little girl.

"It's not suitable in the car, why don't you take you back to the hotel and sing to you later?" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Back to the hotel? After returning to the hotel, I'm afraid you'll be busy with other things and won't have time to sing to me." Sharapova said, her face turning slightly red.

Zhang Guan understood the meaning of Sharapova's words, and the smile on his face became brighter.

It's really a little farewell to a newlywed!

...

On New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala performance. Zhang Guan was arranged to appear on the fourteenth stage. The name of the program was "Fighting for Beauty and Popularity". .

There is also a basis for the arrangement of the director team, because the thirteenth program is the skit "Magic Olympics", and there will be a group of Olympic champions including Liu Feiren on the stage, and Zhang Guan will appear on the stage immediately after this program, and the two programs will be coherent , is also a continuation of the Olympic theme.

Zhang Guan lip-synced at the Spring Festival Gala. He stepped down after lip-syncing for three minutes on stage. After all, he is not a professional singer and his level is not up to standard. Moreover, on this stage, facing Chinese audiences all over the world, for the sake of performance , Even many professional singers will choose to lip-sync.

It has basically become a theorem that after the Spring Festival Gala is finished, it will be popular, and if the quality of the song is good, then it will be a big hit after that. "Stubborn" was originally a high-quality song, especially the lyrics will make people feel a lot of emotion, so after the Spring Festival Gala, this song instantly became popular all over the country and became the favorite song of young people.

However, Zhang Guan's singing skills are indeed too average, and soon some lesser-known singers made covers. As soon as various cover versions came out, a small group of singers who were originally very popular were popular.

...

At the beginning of the new year, Zhang Guan began to take Sharapova to play everywhere. During the Spring Festival, the North Drifters all went home for the New Year, so the capital city seemed a bit empty, there was no traffic jam on the road, the people in the business district were nice, and there were not many tourists in the scenic spots.

The two had a short good time. Sharapova took the lead to leave for Qatar to prepare for the competition. On the second day, Zhang Guan flew to Sweden to participate in the indoor track and field competition in Stockholm, Sweden.
