"On February 15, the IAAF Stockholm Indoor Track and Field Championships was held in Stockholm, Sweden. Chinese athlete Zhang Guan won the indoor 60-meter championship in 6.45 seconds. This was his third indoor championship this year. "
"Let's turn our attention to the track and field competition. Yesterday, the Birmingham Indoor Track and Field Grand Prix ended in Birmingham, England. Zhang Guanzai won another gold medal in the indoor 60-meter sprint event... "
"Last August, Zhang Guan broke the world record in the men's 100-meter dash 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 Championships. , although Zhang Guan did not break the world record again this time, he still won the indoor 60-meter championship with a time of 6.50 seconds."
"Another good news came from the track and field competition. At the IAAF Madrid Indoor Track and Field Championships that ended on the 24th, Zhang Guan won the championship again!"
"Zhang Guan won another championship! At the just-concluded IAAF Levant Indoor Track and Field Championships, Zhang Guan won another gold medal. From the end of January to now, Zhang Guan has won seven championships in this month. , broke two world records.”
…
Since February 15, Zhang Guan has traveled to Sweden, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain and France, winning five consecutive championships in the indoor 60-meter event. According to the IAAF competition plan, a total of 11 indoor events will be held in 2005, including four events: Millrose Indoor, Ghent Indoor, Budapest Indoor and Karlsruhe Indoor. Due to the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan did not attend. After participating in the competition, Zhang Guan won the championship in the remaining seven games, which can be said to have swept the entire Europe.
However, in the competition after the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan no longer used potions to improve his physical strength and condition. Naturally, he did not continue to break the world record of the indoor 60-meter dash. The price of potions was still very expensive, and the reward for indoor events was Attenuated, there is no need for Zhang Guan to waste the potion in such a place.
But seven indoor championships and two indoor world records still brought Zhang Guan 11 skill points. Zhang Guan had never experienced skill points being so easy to earn. If it weren't for the fact that the IAAF had no sprint-related track and field events in March and April, Zhang Guan would have really wanted to continue brushing up on his skill points.
The domestic media naturally carried out a series of bombarding reports on the seven indoor championships, and the people also went from being excited at first, to shocked later, and then even a little numb, as if Zhang Guan had won the championship. It is already a normal thing.
On February 28, Zhang Guan returned to China after finishing the Liwan Indoor Competition. In the next week, Zhang Guan was completely busy with various entertainments. The Athletics Association held a commendation meeting for him. Later, he signed two huge endorsements, filmed three commercials and a public service announcement, and participated in An interview with CCTV, and I participated in five commercial activities and a public welfare activity for National Ear Care Day. During this period, I did not forget to talk to Sharapova on the phone in the middle of the night every night, because Sharapova was recently preparing to participate in the Pacific Life Insurance Cup Tennis Open in the United States, 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 Guanfei returned to the Xinzhuang training base. There were also many business activities, but Zhang Guan also slowly began to resume training, and then he will arrive in the Special Administrative Region before the 14th, because on the 16th, this year's Tenth The Best Lawrence Champion Award will be announced in the Special Administrative Region, and he has been designated to receive the award.
On the plane flying to the SAR, Zhang Guan leaned back on his seat and fell asleep. Liu Feiren, who was sitting next to Zhang Guan, always wanted to find someone to talk to, but when he saw Zhang Guan several times, he found that he was sleeping too soundly and was too embarrassed to disturb him.
"I slept really well. Training ended so early yesterday, so I should have rested very early. Why are you still looking like this, as if you haven't slept all night? It's good to be young, so sleep whenever you want." Liu The flying man sighed secretly, then leaned back in his 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 he didn't sleep all night.
In the just-concluded Pacific Life Insurance Cup Indian Wells, Sharapova made it all the way to the semi-finals, but was beaten 6:0 by Davenport twice. This was the first time in Sharapova's career. The most painful defeat ever. So the whole night, Sharapova kept complaining and coquettishly on the phone, begging for sympathy and comfort. After Zhang Guan coaxed Sharapova back to sleep, it was already dawn, and Sharapova was in a much better mood. After eating something and getting ready to rest, Zhang Guan quickly packed his luggage and prepared to go to the airport.
…
The predecessor of the Top Ten Lawrence Champion Awards was the Top Ten Athletes Selection. The Top Ten Athletes began the first selection in 1979. In 2004, the name was borrowed from the World Laureus Sports Awards and changed to the Top Ten Laureus Champions Awards.
For this award, Zhang Guan entered the initial list last year, but 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 Laureus Champions Awards. .
Different from last year, this year's awards have been reformed. Last year's top ten Laureus Awards were the same as the previous top ten athletes. Ten outstanding athletes were selected to win the award. This year's awards refer to the rules of the Laureus Sports Awards. A total of 10 different awards have been set up, including the best male and female athletes, the best male and female newcomer awards, the best team award, the best coach award, the best breakthrough award, the best popularity award, the best Non-Olympic Athlete Award, Best Disabled Athlete Award. In addition, this year’s awards also specially set up a lifetime achievement award.
This situation had been discussed before. The Best Male Athlete Award was not awarded to Zhang Guan, but to Liu Feiren. Since it was his first time on this podium, Zhang Guan won the Best Male Newcomer Award, and the Best Popularity Award was also won by Zhang Guan. This result can be regarded as a happy one.
…
After the award ceremony, Zhang Guan turned on his phone and saw a text message from Zhuge Wenbo, asking Zhang Guan to call him back after the award ceremony.
Zhang Guan immediately called Zhuge Wenbo.
"The awards are over? What's the result?" Zhuge Wenbo asked immediately.
"Best Male Newcomer Award and Best Popularity Award, two." Zhang Guan answered.
"Not bad." Zhuge Wenbo paused and then said, "I received a new advertisement, a car, a big Mercedes-Benz."
"A big brand of luxury car! Which car is it?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The new E240." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "I originally didn't want to accept this, because there are other car brands talking about it, including imports and joint ventures, and the conditions they offer are very good. But today your award is not It reminds me of one thing. The main sponsor of this year’s Laureus World Sports Awards is Daben. This award will be judged in May. I want to help you win the best newcomer this year.”
"Laurence World Sports Award, this is the highest award in the sports world." Zhang Guan thought carefully and then said: "It seems that the judges of this award do not like our country's athletes very much. In the past, our country only had Yao Yao. Let’s live up to this award!”
"Yes, he won the Newcomer Award." Zhuge Wenbo immediately said: "The Nike Company I contacted supports you in winning the award, but they do not have enough say. But Daben Company is different. They are the main sponsor this year. If they support it, it will be much easier to win the award. So I think if you agree, then agree to Daben’s advertising. The advertising fee is easy to negotiate, but they need to be in Lawrence Sports. I support you on the award.”
"Okay. The value 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 his training.
In March and April, there are no international track and field events, but the domestic National Track and Field Grand Prix series has begun. The first two events are still held in the southwestern provinces. Neither Zhang Guan nor Liu Feiren will be old. Traveling far away to compete.
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 obtained the qualifications to participate in the throwing event. This is the most important thing for the national track and field team in the first half of today. competition.
Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren are both preparing for the Osaka Grand Prix, especially Liu Feiren. At last year's Osaka Track and Field Grand Prix, he not only won the championship, but also broke the Asian record for the 110-meter hurdles, so he is also running this time The champion goes.
…
On the track. As soon as Zhang Guan ran through the corner, he was shouted to stop by Director Yu.
"Stop, stop, stop! It's still the same problem I just said, the inside! Pay attention to running along the inside!" Director Yu pointed to the markings of the track and continued: "The track looks very narrow, at least compared to the width of your feet. , the runway is very wide. As long as your foot does not step out of the line, it is not a foul, so try to cut inward as much as possible. You were running well at the beginning, but then you went to the middle again, especially when the curve turned into a straight line. The place ran very poorly. Think about it carefully, summarize it carefully, and do it again."
Zhang Guan nodded and walked back to the 200-meter starting line.
In the curve of the 200-meter dash, athletes will try to run as close to the inside as possible. On the same track, running along the inner side will save a lot of distance and save a lot of time. However, it is impossible for athletes to lower their heads all the time to check the inside of the track markings during running, so running on the inside is also a skill that is difficult to master in curves.
Running corners seems simple, but in fact, at the level of professional athletes, it requires mastering many very complex techniques. Therefore, many athletes who are excellent in the 100-meter dash cannot achieve good results in the 200 meters, but the 200 meters Athletes specializing in meters are different. Their skills are more delicate and they can run 100 meters with ease.
And now Zhang Guan, after a long period of training, is only at the entry level in cornering skills.
In the eyes of the instructor, Zhang Guan's bending skills are still far behind, but Zhang Guan himself obviously doesn't think so. He is already a little dissatisfied with the 200 meters. He thinks that maybe he can try the 400 meters event.
