Chapter 109 The King of Track and Field: Indoor Five-Consecutive Championship

"On February 15th, the IAAF Stockholm Indoor Track and Field Championships was held in Stockholm, Sweden. Zhang Guan from my country won the indoor 60-meter event with a time of 6.45 seconds. This is his third indoor championship this year. "

"Let's turn our attention to track and field. Yesterday, the Birmingham Indoor Athletics Grand Prix ended in Birmingham, England. Zhang Guan won another gold medal in the indoor 60-meter sprint event..."

"In August last year, Zhang Guan broke the world record in the men's 100-meter sprint at the Athens Olympics and won the Olympic championship. On February 20, Zhang Guan came to Athens, Greece again to participate in the IAAF Athens Indoor Track and Field Competition , Although Zhang Guan did not break the world record again this time, he still won the indoor 60-meter event with a time of 6.50 seconds."

"Good news came from the track and field field again. In the IAAF Madrid Indoor Track and Field Championships that ended on the 24th, Zhang Guan won the championship again!"

"Zhang Guan won the championship again! In the just-concluded IAAF Levin Indoor Track and Field Championship, Zhang Guan won another gold medal. From the end of January to the present, Zhang Guan has won seven championships in this month. , breaking two world records."

...

Since February 15, Zhang Guan has traveled to Sweden, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain and France successively, winning five indoor 60-meter championships one after another. According to the competition plan of the IAAF, a total of 11 indoor races will be held in 2005, including the Millrose Indoor Race, Ghent Indoor Race, Budapest Indoor Race and Karlsruhe Indoor Race. Participating in the remaining seven games, Zhang Guanjun won the championship, which can be said to have swept the entire Europe.

However, in the competition after the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan did not use the potion to improve his physical strength and state. Naturally, he did not continue to break the world record for the indoor 60-meter sprint. The price of the potion is still very expensive, and the reward for the indoor event is Attenuated, there is no need for Zhang Guan to waste the potion in this kind of place.

But seven indoor championships and two indoor world records still brought Zhang Guan 11 skill points. Zhang Guan has never felt such an easy skill point. If it wasn't for the fact that the IAAF didn't have sprint-related track and field events in March and April, Zhang Guan really wanted to continue to improve his skill points.

The domestic media naturally carried out a series of indiscriminate reports on the seven champions of the indoor competition, and the common people were also a little numb from the initial excitement, to the shock later, as if Zhang Guan had won the championship It's already a very normal thing.

On February 28, Zhang Guan returned to China after finishing the Levan Indoor Competition. In the next week, Zhang Guan was completely busy with various entertainments. The Athletic Association held a commendation meeting for him, and then signed two huge endorsements, filmed three commercials and one public service advertisement, and participated in the CCTV conducted an interview, and participated in five commercial activities and a public welfare publicity activity for the National Ear Day. During the period, I still didn’t forget to talk to Sharapova in the middle of the night every night, because Sharapova is preparing to participate in the Pacific Life Insurance Cup Tennis Open held in the United States recently, and the time difference between China and the United States also caused tension. Guan could only talk to Sharapova on the phone in the middle of the night.

In the second week, Zhang Guan flew back to the Xinzhuang training base, and there were also many commercial activities, but Zhang Guan also slowly started recovery training, and then he will arrive in the special zone before the 14th, because on the 16th, this year's 10 The Best Lawrence Champion Award will be announced in D.C., and he has been pre-selected to win the award.

On the plane to the Special Economic Zone, Zhang Guan leaned against the seat and fell asleep soundly. Liu Feiren, who was sitting next to Zhang Guan, always wanted to talk to someone, but when he saw Zhang Guan a few times, he found that he was really sleeping too soundly, so he was too embarrassed to disturb him.

"I slept really soundly. I finished training so early yesterday, so I should have rested very early. Why are you still like this, as if you haven't slept all night. It's good to be young, sleep when you want." Liu The flying man sighed secretly, then leaned back on the chair and started listening to music.

Liu Feiren didn't know that Zhang Guan really didn't sleep much in the second half of the night. In the middle of the night, Zhang Guan received a call from Sharapova, and then he stayed up all night.

In the just-concluded Pacific Life Insurance Cup Indian Wells match, Sharapova made it all the way to the semi-finals, but was bloodbathed by Davenport with two 6:0s. The worst loss ever. So throughout the whole night, Sharapova kept complaining on the phone, begging for sympathy and comfort. After Zhang Guan coaxed Sharapova well, it was already dawn, and Sharapova was in a much better mood. After eating something to rest, Zhang Guan hurriedly packed his luggage and prepared to go to the airport.

...

The predecessor of the Ten Best Laureus Champion Awards was the selection of the Top Ten Athletes, and the first selection of the Top Ten Athletes began in 1979. In 2004, the name of the World Lawrence Sports Award was borrowed and changed to the Top Ten Lawrence Champion Award.

For this award, Zhang Guan entered the initial list last year, but he was not selected in the end. With his outstanding performance in last year's Olympics and the first two months of this year, Zhang Guan will definitely have a place in this year's Top Ten Lawrence Champion Award .

Unlike last year, this year's awards have undergone reforms. Last year's Top Ten Lawrence Awards were the same as the previous Top Ten Athletes selection rules, and ten outstanding athletes were selected to win awards. This year's awards refer to the rules of the Lawrence Sports Awards. A total of 10 different awards have been set up, namely the best male and female athletes, the best male and female rookie awards, the best team awards, the best coach awards, the best breakthrough awards, the best popularity awards, the best Non-Olympic Athlete Award, Best Disabled Athlete Award. In addition, this year's awards also set up a special lifetime achievement award.

This kind of meeting has been discussed before, and the best male athlete award was not awarded to Zhang Guan, but to Liu Feiren. Since it was the first time to be on the podium, Zhang Guan won the Best Male Newcomer Award, and the Best Popularity Award was also won by Zhang Guan. This result is also a happy one.

...

After the awards, Zhang Guan turned on his phone, but saw a text message from Zhuge Wenbo, asking Zhang Guan to call him back after the awards.

Zhang Guan immediately called Zhuge Wenbo.

"The awards are over? How did it turn out?" Zhuge Wenbo asked immediately.

"Best Male Newcomer Award and Best Popularity Award, two." Zhang Guan answered.

"That's right." Zhuge Wenbo paused for a moment, and then continued: "A new advertisement has been received, the car is a big Benz."

"A big luxury car! What kind of car is it?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The new E240." Zhuge Wenbo went on to say, "I didn't want to accept this, because there are other car brands talking about, including imported joint ventures, and their conditions are very good. But today your award is not It reminds me of one thing, the main sponsor of this year's Lawrence World Sports Awards is Daben, and this award was announced in May, and I want to help you win for the best newcomer of this year."

"Lawrence World Sports Award, this is the highest award in the sports world." Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, and then said: "It seems that the judges of this award don't like our country's athletes very much. Before our country, only Yao won the award." Pass this award!"

"Yes, he won the Newcomer Award." Zhuge Wenbo immediately said: "The Nike company I contacted, they support you to win the award, but they don't have enough right to speak. But Daben Company is different, They are the main sponsors of this year. If you have their support, it will be much easier to win the award. So I think, if you agree, then agree to the advertisement of Daben. The advertising fee is negotiable, but they need to be in Lawrence Sports I support you with the award."

"Yes. The gold content of this award is still very high. I think both the Sports Federation and the Athletics Association will support me!" Zhang Guan said.

...

The next day, Zhang Guan returned to Xinzhuang and continued on the road of training.

In March and April, there are no track and field events in the world, but the series of national track and field grand prix competitions in China will start. The first two stations will still be held in the southwestern provinces. Neither Zhang Guan nor Liu Feiren will be old Go to the competition from afar.

In May, there is a more important event, the IAAF Osaka Grand Prix. Considering that it will be held in Asia, the IAAF has also given more quotas to Asian athletes, so the national team has also qualified for the throwing event, which is the most important aspect of the national track and field team in the first half of today. competition.

Both Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren are preparing for the Osaka Grand Prix, especially Liu Feiren. At the Osaka Athletics Grand Prix last year, he not only won the championship, but also broke the Asian record of the 110-meter hurdles, so he is also rushing this time Champions go.

...

on the track. Just as Zhang Guan ran across the curve, he was stopped by Director Yu.

"Stop, stop, stop! It's the same problem as I just said, inside! Pay attention to running along the inside!" Director Yu pointed to the markings on the runway and continued: "The runway looks very narrow, at least compared to the width of your feet , the runway is very wide. As long as your foot doesn't step out of the line, it's not a foul, so try to cut inward as much as possible. You just started running well, but then you're in the middle, especially when the curve turns into a straight. Place, ran very badly. Think about it carefully, summarize it well, and do it again.”

Zhang Guan nodded and walked back to the 200-meter starting line.

In the curve of the 200-meter sprint, the athletes will try to stay as close to the inner side as possible. On the same runway, running along the inner side will save a lot of distance and save a lot of time. However, during the running process, it is impossible for athletes to keep their heads down to check the inner side of the track markings, so running on the inner side is also a relatively difficult skill to master in curves.

Running corners looks simple, but in fact, at the level of professional athletes, they need to master many very complicated techniques. Therefore, many athletes who are excellent in the 100-meter sprint event cannot achieve good results in the 200-meter dash, but the 200-meter Athletes who specialize in meters are different. Their skills are relatively delicate, and they can run 100 meters with ease.

But now Zhang Guan, after a long time of training, is only an entry-level cornering skill.

In the eyes of the instructor, Zhang Guan's cornering skills are still far behind, but Zhang Guan himself obviously doesn't think so. He is already a little dissatisfied with the 200-meter race, and he thinks that maybe he can try the 400-meter event.
