Chapter 417: The Olympics Begin

At the end of July, the time for the Olympic Games to reach the standard had ended, and the registration for the Olympic Games was about to end. Zhang Guan got his wish and obtained the registration qualifications for the seven individual events of track and field and the men's tennis singles.

As long as the individual track and field events can meet the Olympic standards, they can directly register through the Olympic Organizing Committee of the host city. If the standard is not met, the International Olympic Committee will negotiate with the IAAF to make an assessment on the specific situation.

Zhang Guan reached the Olympic A standard in the men's 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, long jump and triple jump, while he participated in the Olympic B standard in the men's 1500 meters. Among them, the men's 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and 1500 meters, only Zhang Guan participated in the national team, because only Zhang Guan reached the Olympic A standard in the first five events, and the others only reached the B standard, and the 1500 meter event Only Zhang Guan has reached the Olympic B standard in the world.

In the tennis singles event, the Olympic Games has a quota limit. There are 64 players participating in the men's and women's singles events, of which 48 are allocated by the ATP world ranking. The top 48 players in the world ranking announced on June 9 Athletes can directly enter the Olympic Games, but each country can have up to four athletes participating, and those who are absent will be postponed according to the world ranking.

Among the other sixteen places, two places are invitation seats, which are often given to some well-known players; the remaining 14 places belong to the International Tennis Federation's places, which can also be regarded as places through the back door, which is equivalent to a big man. A wild card in the middle.

The ATP points are calculated according to the points obtained in the past year. Zhang Guan won four Grand Slam championships in 2007, with a total of 8,000 points. Obtained 1000 points, the total is 9500 points. As of June 9, Zhang Guan missed this year's Australian Open and French Open, so 4,000 points will be deducted, but Zhang Guan still has 5,500 points, which is second only to Federer and Nadal. Ranked third in the world above Djokovic. Therefore, as long as Zhang Guan signed up, he automatically qualified for the Olympic tennis competition.

As for the 4x100m and basketball events in track and field, registration is done in the name of the collective events of the participating countries.

...

Zhang Guan didn't notice that Sharapova's voice on the other side of the phone was a little low. He still said excitedly: "Martha, do you know that our national team has been confirmed, and I will be the host of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games for the national team?" The flag bearer. I read the news a few days ago and you said that you might be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Russian team, is that true?"

"I have decided to withdraw from the Olympics." Sharapova said suddenly.

"Withdrawal from the Olympics? What's wrong? Because of injuries?" Zhang Guan asked several questions in succession.

"I had an MRI scan. My shoulder injury has been serious recently. I may not be able to participate in the rest of the competition this year." Sharapova said very frustrated.

"It's so serious." Zhang Guan was silent for two seconds, and then said, "I'm sorry, Martha, I think I should be by your side at this time, but I have to participate in the Olympics..."

"I know that the first Olympic Games is of great significance to you. You should book a hotel for me, and I will go to China to find you." Sharapova said with a smile: "I will go to cheer for you, my dear champion .”

...

In early August, the participants for each event of the Olympic Games have been determined. Zhang Guan once again became the focus of attention of the sports world.

"Zhang Guan wants to participate in eight track and field events? Is he crazy? No one has ever participated in so many events at the same time."

"Don't forget Phelps in the United States. Phelps seems to have participated in eight swimming competitions."

"But Phelps participated in the 4x100m freestyle relay, 4x100m medley relay and 4x200m freestyle relay. It is an individual project; while Zhang Guan said that only one is an individual project, and seven group projects."

"Even if the two participated in the same number of events, in this Olympic Games, Phelps will definitely win more gold medals than Zhang Guan. Phelps participated in eight events, maybe he can win eight gold medals , Zhang Guan can win three or four at most! Even if Zhang Guan has an excellent tone, he can win seven individual events, but in the 4x100-meter sprint event, the strength of the United States, the United Kingdom and Jamaica far exceeds China. Zhang Guan It is impossible to win the championship, so Zhang Guan will win seven gold medals at most."

"But Zhang Guan also took part in major events. He also participated in tennis and basketball."

"Well, even if you add a tennis ball, that's only eight gold medals, and participating in so many competitions at the same time, how can it be possible to balance the schedule and personal energy!"

"Yes, track and field, tennis, basketball, a total of three major events and ten minor events, Zhang Guan's physical strength must be too much! Maybe Zhang Guan won't even win a gold medal!"

"There is absolutely no athlete in the world who can participate in so many Olympic events at the same time and win awards in all of them. Zhang Guan is also impossible!"

...

For domestic sports audiences, they certainly hope that Zhang Guan can win more championships, but foreign audiences don't think so. Western countries certainly don't want China to rise. Happy to see the Chinese team get more gold medals.

For Zhang Guan, he has stamina potions, so the biggest problem is not physical strength, but the schedule.

In the Olympic schedule, the competition time of the same event will basically not affect each other, but different major events may have overlapping problems in terms of time. Zhang Guan will also face the problem of competing in multiple events at the same time. For the problem of time overlap, Zhang Guan does not know how to do double body, and it is impossible to appear at the scene of two competitions at the same time.

However, the organizers of the Olympic Games also thought about this problem. They tried their best to give Zhang Guan a certain amount of care in the arrangement of the competition time, and the General Administration of Sports also specially applied for relevant logistical support for Zhang Guan.

The conference room of Yiming Consulting Company.

"Athletics competitions are held at the National Athletics Center, and tennis competitions are held at the National Tennis Center. Both of these places are in the Olympic Park, but one is near the Fourth Ring Road and the other is near the Fifth Ring Road. The traffic on the road is not bad. You can also take the Olympic line of the subway to and from. But the basketball game venue is in Wukesong Stadium, which is a bit far from the Olympic Park. Even if there is no traffic jam, it will take more than 30 minutes to walk. If there is a traffic jam, it may take an hour. No." Zhuge Wenbo continued, "But you don't have to worry, we borrowed a helicopter."

"Helicopters? Such a huge battle?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised, but then he remembered something and said, "Even if there are helicopters, they are not allowed to fly during the Olympic Games. The sky over the capital is not banned." area?"

"It's a no-fly zone, but they have a certificate." Zhuge Wenbo continued, "It's CCTV's relay helicopter, which can fly over the capital during the Olympics. They are willing to lend it to us. Of course, they also want to get the first prize." Hands-on interview. So when the helicopter is really needed, you should also cooperate with the interview.”

"Okay, I see." Zhang Guan nodded and said.

In a big city like the capital, not to mention helicopters, even Boeing 747s can be found, but it is difficult to find helicopters that can fly over the capital during the Olympic Games. CCTV is responsible for broadcasting the entire Olympic Games, and of course it will be equipped with the most advanced equipment, including broadcast helicopters; as Zhang Guan is the busiest athlete during the Olympics, time is so precious, even if CCTV wants to interview him, it is not very Easy. Therefore, between Zhang Guan and CCTV, each can be regarded as taking what they need.

At 20:00 on the evening of August 8, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was grandly held at the National Stadium. The stadium, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, was full of seats and the crowd was excited.

In 2008, performers beat the fou and sang, tens of thousands of fireworks bloomed in the sky, the whole stadium was like blooming flowers, the Olympic rings appeared, and the national flag entered the venue. After the national flag was raised and the national anthem was sung, cultural performances began. Regardless of whether you can understand the cultural performance or not, it is very lively anyway. At 21:10, the athletes' entrance ceremony finally began.

The first to enter the arena was the Greek team, the birthplace of the Olympics, and then the delegations from other countries and regions entered the arena in the order of strokes of simplified Chinese characters. It lasted for two hours, and the host national team finally entered the stadium after all qualified teams from 203 countries and regions had entered the stadium.

Zhang Guan was wearing a yellow shirt, a red suit, white trousers and white leather shoes on his lower body. He held the national flag high and walked into the stadium. The scene immediately remembered the roaring applause and shouts!

"This is the Olympic Games, our own Olympic Games!" The corners of Zhang Guan's eyes became moist, and he immediately closed his eyes, trying to calm down the originally excited heart.

The countless flashing lights around seemed to be dotted with stars, and the lights in the stadium also became brighter at this moment. The national flag was fluttering in the air, and that ray of red had become the most beautiful color in the world at this moment.

"This is the Olympic Games hosted by our own country, this is our own Olympic Games." Zhang Guan held the flagpole tightly and listened carefully to the cheers around him. He could feel everyone's enthusiasm and the audience's expectations .

"After four years, I have returned to the Olympics." Zhang Guan took a deep breath and sighed softly: "Olympics, here I come!"
