July 11, Lausanne, Switzerland.
For Liu Feiren, this was a special day, but Liu Feiren himself was completely unaware of this.
On the side of the track, Zhang Guan held a DV camera and pointed it at Liu Feiren on the starting line. Zhang Guan knew that Liu Feiren was going to break the world record in the 110-meter hurdles today, so he prepared to record this scene.
Liu Feiren is in the second lane. Today he did not choose red. Instead, he wore a green and white sports vest and blue sweatpants. This makes his skin look very white, especially when the person in the third lane next to him is a A black player, in contrast, it makes people feel that Liu Fei is so fair and tender.
As soon as the game started, Liu Feiren rushed to the front and quickly took the lead. Today he was very fast and had a good sense of rhythm, but Liu Feiren did not realize this during the game.
Finally, he crossed all the hurdles and started to rush towards the finish line. When he was two steps away from the finish line, he looked at the other opponents to confirm that he was already in the leading position, and then slightly slowed down the last step. frequency, and then crossed the finish line.
Then, Liu Feiren turned his attention to the timing board. First he showed an expression of disbelief, then surprise. Then he jumped up with excitement and rushed towards the finishing time board, with a large group of reporters chasing behind him!
12.88 seconds, a new world record for the 110-meter hurdles!
"How do you feel?" This voice sounded very familiar to Liu Feiren. He saw Zhang Guan running over at some point and mingling with a group of reporters.
"It feels really great!" Liu Feiren shouted excitedly to Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan smiled and gave Liu Feiren a thumbs up. Unknowingly, he had known Liu Feiren for more than two years. In the past two years, Liu Feiren had been working hard. At least Zhang Guan felt that Liu Feiren was better than him. effort. And today, Liu Feiren's efforts finally paid off.
For Zhang Guan, witnessing Liu Feiren breaking the world record in the 110-meter hurdles was just an episode. Next, he will also face the battle of the Track and Field Golden League.
After the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Lausanne, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren rushed to Rome immediately. Take part in the Rome leg of the Golden League in Rome.
This schedule is similar to last year. Three days after Lausanne is the Golden League Rome game, which is very tight for athletes.
…
On July 16, the second day of the IAAF Golden League Rome Station ended.
Rome, Italy, airport terminal. The reporter's interview with Varina was being played on the TV hanging on the wall.
"Indeed, I lost to Zhang Guan again. I thought I could beat him this time. I ran 43.62 seconds, which was 0.05 seconds faster than Zhang Guan in Paris. But unfortunately, I still lost. I didn't expect Zhang Guan to beat him. The speed of the championship has also improved! 43.58 seconds, he almost ran into 43.5 seconds!" After Varina finished speaking, he smiled at the camera and continued: "But this does not mean that I will admit defeat, I know I can still It can be faster! I’m looking forward to the next Golden League game in Zurich and competing against Zhang Guan again!”
Looking at the determined Varina on the TV, Zhang Guan's expression became increasingly gloomy. He couldn't help but recall the 400-meter dash race a day ago.
One day ago, in the Golden League Rome Station, Zhang Guan encountered the most difficult battle in the 400-meter sprint event. Varina ran a time of 43.62 seconds in the competition. If it were not for Zhang Guan, this result would definitely be A 100% dominant result.
Fortunately, Zhang Guan remembered that Varina was in very good shape this year, so he went all out at the beginning of the game and finally defeated Varina in 43.58 seconds. And this result is already close to Zhang Guan's current limit.
"43 seconds 62, this is not Varina's limit. In my memory, although Varina did not break Michael Johnson's world record in the end, it was still 43 seconds 45. This 'White Forrest' doesn't look like it. It’s not that easy to defeat!”
Zhang Guan stared closely at Varina on the TV. He knew that the reason why Varina was called "White Forrest" was not only because of his fast speed, but more importantly because he was a A person of extremely strong will. Varina is a white man. He was able to carve out a path in the black-dominated American track and field world and become the world's first person in the 400 meters. Naturally, he had to work harder than ordinary people, which also shows that he has extraordinary perseverance. This kind of person cannot give up easily.
Zhang Guan took a deep breath and thought silently: "Varina will definitely challenge me in the next race. He may run faster. This won't work. I must use my strength to tell Varina , he can never defeat me!"
"What are you thinking about!" Liu Feiren's voice sounded from the side: "It's time, you can board the plane!"
"Yes, I'm going back to China!" Zhang Guan looked at Liu Feiren with a smile, and then said: "Someone broke the world record for the first time, don't forget to go back and treat us to dinner!"
…
After the IAAF Golden League Rome game, Zhang Guan made a tactical choice to give up other games in July. Continuous and uninterrupted games are also a huge burden on the athletes' bodies, especially when Zhang Guan participates in two events of the Golden League at the same time, which is also a test for the body. Now after three Golden League games, Zhang Guan also needs time to rest his body.
The next stop of the Golden League is in Zurich, Switzerland, on August 18, which is still a month away. Since there is plenty of time, Director Yu specially gave Zhang Guan a week's family leave.
Provincial capital, provincial track and field team, coach's office.
Coach Zhou personally handed the tea cup to Zhang Guan and said with a smile: "The schedule was so tight some time ago. I finally got a vacation. If you don't stay at home honestly, why did you come to me?"
"Isn't there going to be the Doha Asian Games at the end of the year? The track and field selection for the Asian Games will start on August 4, and I came back to sign up." Zhang Guan said.
"It's the National Track and Field Championships on August 4th, which happens to be the Asian Games track and field trials." Coach Zhou glared fiercely: "No, you shouldn't have to participate in the Asian Games trials! Even if the entire national team only sends one person If you want to participate, you have to choose to go!”
"I don't need to participate in the selection for the 100-meter dash..."
"You don't need to participate in the trials for the 200 meters and 400 meters." Coach Zhou suddenly said with enlightenment: "I think of it, you seemed to be practicing long jump a few days ago? Is that right? The national team specially sent the top ten all-around coach Li Come to Xinzhuang to teach you."
Professor Zhou seemed to be thinking as he spoke, and then continued: "You must have only practiced long jump for a short time. The national team's long jump event is also full of talents. There are several outstanding athletes who can jump 8 meters!" Even if you think about it, the national team will not send you, a beginner, to participate in the selection of the Asian Games. The athletes in our provincial team have average long jump ability, and they probably won’t get medals in the National Track and Field Championships. If you really want to go, I will help you sign up. A name."
"Coach, not only long jump, but also other events, I want to sign up for it too." Zhang Guan said shyly.
"Other events?" Coach Zhou stared at Zhang Guan inexplicably.
"I want to try the 800 meters." Zhang Guan said.
"What!" Coach Zhou thought he heard wrongly.
"There are still 1,500 meters, I also want to try..." Zhang Guan continued.
Coach Zhou confirmed that he heard correctly this time. He asked cautiously: "Zhang Guan, you don't have a fever, do you?"
The 800-meter run and the 1500-meter run are middle-distance running categories in track and field, excluding technical aspects. However, in terms of the physical characteristics of the athletes, the physical needs of middle-distance runners and sprint team athletes are different. Sprinting requires more explosive power from athletes, while middle-distance running not only requires athletes to have a certain explosive power, but also requires athletes to have excellent physical fitness and high speed endurance levels.
If Zhang Guan only proposed to run 800 meters, Coach Zhou might be able to understand that there are some excellent concurrent runners in history who can run both 400 meters and 800 meters, but absolutely no one can cross from 100 meters to 1500 meters. This is no longer just a matter of two events. There are two different requirements for the athletes' bodies and physiology. Therefore, crossing from 100 meters to 1500 meters is not only a change in technology, but also a change in physiological functions.
"Zhang Guan, stop teasing me! Run 1,500 meters? You really dare to think about it!" Coach Zhou said.
"I don't dare to tease you! What I said is true." Zhang Guan said seriously.
Coach Zhou's expression also became serious, and he asked, "Have you told Director Yu about this?"
Zhang Guan shook his head: "No, how dare I tell him!"
"The center doesn't know either?" Coach Zhou asked next.
"I don't know." Zhang Guan continued: "Last time, I worked so hard to practice long jump and even made a special test. How could I dare to mention this matter to the center?"
"That's it..." Coach Zhou frowned: "That's really difficult to handle. You are our national treasure-level athlete. I don't dare to make decisions about your training and competition without permission. It would be a violation of discipline to talk about it. .”
"Coach, just sign up for a domestic competition. Please do me a favor!" Zhang Guan lowered his voice and continued: "Look, I have contributed a lot to our team in the past two years. I When I came here just now, I saw that the team has added a new car, so why not ask the team for help this time?"
Coach Zhou was immediately speechless. Of course he knew what contribution Zhang Guan was referring to.
Athletes' bonuses and advertising endorsement income must be divided into registered units. Zhang Guan's commercial income in these years is calculated in "100 million". As Zhang Guan's registered unit, the provincial team has naturally received more than 10 million yuan. For any public institution, one dollar of extra revenue from non-fiscal allocations can produce the effect of two dollars.
How could Coach Zhou not understand the saying that eating people has a short mouth and taking people with short hands? Considering that the person in front of him is the God of Wealth, signing up to participate in the competition does not seem to be a critical issue.
"Okay! You are from our team! Come with me and fill out the registration form!" Coach Zhou said.
