A new world record was born!
This is the first world record set by Zhang Guan in China!
The atmosphere in the venue cannot be described in words. Countless spectators have shouted at the top of their lungs, but they still continue to roar.
Zhang Guan slowly closed his eyes. He felt everything around him seriously. One scene after another flashed through his mind, including the finals of the Athens Olympics, the Yokohama All-Star Game, the IAAF Super Grand Prix, the Golden League... In every game he participated in, he won and was cheered by the crowd, but never once did he feel this special like today.
This atmosphere was not just congratulations for breaking the world record, but more like an emotional outpouring and an oath of dignity. This touched Zhang Guan's heart and made him feel resonance!
Zhang Guan opened his eyes, and the stands had turned into a sea of red. The national flags turned into the most beautiful elves, laughing amidst the applause and dancing amidst the shouts.
At this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly understood that the glory of the world record did not belong to him alone, but to everyone who encouraged him and supported him...
And this world record is Zhang Guan’s unique gift to them!
…
Next, Zhang Guan stood next to the big timing board that showed 9.72 seconds, posed, smiled and welcomed the baptism of countless flash lights, followed by the award ceremony.
As Director Yu said before, there is no gold medal in the Track and Field Golden Grand Prix. The reward for the championship winner is a golden dragon made of pure gold. This golden dragon is very beautifully made and is very suitable as a gift or collection. It does look and feel better. Gold medal is much better.
As a reward for breaking the world record, Zhang Guan also received a one-carat diamond pendant. Originally, the biggest claim for the owner of this diamond pendant was Isinbayeva, who was in good condition. However, Isinbayeva was obviously not prepared to hit her own world record of 5.02 meters in the Golden Grand Prix, and in the end she only picked out 4.65 meters. .
But now that the diamond pendant is in Zhang Guan's hands, it is obviously much better for the organizers than giving it to Isinbayeva. It is obviously more meaningful for domestic athletes to win the final diamond pendant award than for foreigners.
Zhang Guan had just stepped off the podium and before he reached the runway area, the surrounding reporters had already broken through the obstruction of the staff and rushed to Zhang Guan. The on-site security guards wanted to disperse, but there were too many reporters surrounding them. The security guard couldn't do anything for a while.
"Zhang Guan, please say a few words!" a reporter shouted.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Guan, please say a few words!" Someone immediately echoed.
The reporters made a fuss, which made Zhang Guan very worried. He knew this situation, and if he didn't say a few words, he might not be able to get out.
"Thank you everyone, thank you for your concern! I am very excited and excited to be able to break the world record in the first Golden Grand Prix." Zhang Guan said.
"Have you ever thought before the game that you could break the world record?" someone immediately shouted and asked.
"As an athlete, I have to fight hard in every game and sprint towards higher, faster and stronger goals, so I will be prepared to surpass myself in every game!" Zhang Guan continued.
"How are you going to spend the $100,000 reward for breaking the world record?" another reporter asked gossiping.
Zhang Guan thought for a while. He originally wanted to answer that he hadn't thought about it yet, but he changed his mind again: "At the beginning of this month, the southeastern coast of our country was hit by Typhoon No. 13. I think There are still many people affected by the disaster who are still homeless, so I am going to donate the prize money from this competition to those affected by the typhoon."
With these words, the tone instantly went up several notches. The surrounding reporters were a bit unable to react for a while. Why did they talk about the competition well? Suddenly the topic became a typhoon. This leap was too big!
Finally, a female reporter suddenly asked: "Zhang Guan, do you have a girlfriend?"
All the reporters stared at Zhang Guan with wide eyes, waiting for his answer. This question seemed very inappropriate to ask on this occasion, but it was indeed a topic that reporters were very concerned about.
"Haha, I have already answered three questions. There will be a press conference in a while. Now that I have said it, what is the press conference talking about? There should be many reporters and friends waiting in the press conference hall now. We will be here soon. Let’s talk slowly at the press conference..." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
The reporters at the scene were very qualified. Zhang Guan answered three questions, which was considered as an explanation to everyone. So the reporters made way for Zhang Guan and hurried to the press conference.
…
A men's 100-meter world record is enough to make the Golden Grand Prix famous. Next year, more and better athletes will definitely participate in this event.
The day after the Golden Grand Prix of Track and Field, Zhang Guan immediately flew back to Beijing, while Sharapova had arrived in Beijing a day earlier and checked into the Shangri-La Hotel provided by the organizer of the China Open.
There are four Grand Slam-level players participating in the China Open women's event this time, namely the Williams sisters, Davenport and Sharapova. Among them, the beauty Sharapova is naturally the most popular among the media. The tournament organizers also held a media meeting specifically for Sharapova.
The first few questions from the media were very conventional, such as the goal of this competition, prospects for the opponent, how she feels about China, and the status of her injuries in the past few days. Sharapova has answered this kind of question dozens of times. So the answer is quite familiar.
"We all know that you have a habit of shouting loudly during competitions. Many of our viewers feel that this is inconsistent with your image of a beautiful girl. Have you ever considered changing this habit?" a reporter asked. this problem. Although this is related to the competition, it is actually a relatively personal issue.
After the translator conveyed the question to Sharapova, she said: "I have never thought about this problem and I am not going to change it."
At this time, a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Ms. Sharapova, do you know Zhang Guan and Liu Fei?"
The translator told Sharapova this question, and Sharapova was obviously taken aback, with a strange look in her eyes.
"I don't know Liu Feiren," Sharapova continued, "but I know Zhang Guan. We walked the red carpet together at the Lawrence Awards ceremony in Portugal."
"Then did you invite Zhang Guan to watch the China Open match?" the reporter then asked.
"I don't know many Chinese people. I would be honored if he could come to see me play, but he should be playing now." Sharapova answered quite satisfactorily.
"You are right, Zhang Guan once again broke the world record in the 100-meter dash at the Golden Grand Prix of Track and Field held yesterday." The reporter immediately said excitedly.
"Why did he break the world record again..." Sharapova secretly pouted.
Next, another reporter asked about Sharapova's emotional release. As a beautiful athlete, the European and American media often hyped up some scandals between her and some male athletes, and some male athletes who are not very famous are also happy to do so. Use Sharapova's fame to promote yourself.
Sharapova's face suddenly turned livid. She hated such baseless rumors. The media were hyping them just to increase sales. Another point is that she doesn't want Zhang Guan to worry about it.
The game officials immediately stopped reporters from asking further questions in this regard.
…
In the hotel.
"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang, followed by a man's voice: "room service!"
In the room, Sharapova walked towards the door in confusion. She remembered that she did not call room service, but the service in this hotel was really considerate. For example, the table was filled with various sweets, all of which she liked.
"Maybe it's for snacks!" Sharapova opened the door and saw Zhang Guan standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Oh, God!" Sharapova didn't expect Zhang Guan to suddenly appear in front of her, and then she jumped directly on Zhang Guan, and the two kissed each other.
"My dear, I brought you a gift." Zhang Guan took out the diamond pendant.
"Oh..." Women are naturally irresistible to diamonds. Sharapova happily took it and then said, "I didn't expect you to buy me a gift."
"I didn't buy this. Yesterday I participated in the Track and Field Golden Grand Prix. This was the first time, so the organizing committee prepared a diamond pendant. If a player can break the world record, this pendant will be Become the prize for breaking the world record." Zhang Guan continued: "I happened to break the world record again, so I got this pendant."
"So this pendant is unique in the world?" Sharapova said happily. Sharapova is not short of money, so the significance of the gift is more important. The world record prize of the first Golden Grand Prix of Track and Field is the only one in the world. It is not only a symbol of honor for the athletes, but also contains special commemorative value. This type of thing is a testimony to an athlete's career and achievements, which far exceeds the value of the item itself.
"Thank you for giving me such a precious gift." Sharapova said.
"Martha, to me, you are the most unique in the world." Zhang Guan's sweet words made Sharapova faint, and her smile became more charming.
"What are your plans after the Chinese Open? I'm going to take some time off recently so I can accompany you." Zhang Guan asked.
"Yeah." Sharapova thought for a while, then said: "Let's go to Hong Kong! A Disneyland has just opened there."
"Okay. No problem." Zhang Guan agreed, then thought of another thing, so he asked: "Should I find an opportunity to visit your father?"
"How about making an appointment to have dinner together." Sharapova said.
"Oh, then do I need to prepare any gifts? We in China need to prepare some gifts when we meet for the first time." Zhang Guan said while taking Sharapova into his arms.
Sharapova was stunned for a moment, then gently pushed Zhang Guan away: "We are just having a meal together so that you can get to know each other, that's all."
Zhang Guan nodded helplessly. Maybe it was because of the different cultures between the East and the West, or maybe he really thought too much about this matter.
