After Director Guo and Director Zhao left, Zhang Guan frowned and began to think.
In the confrontation with Director Guo just now, although Zhang Guan sounded sharp, he was actually quite guilty. Zhang Guan doesn't want to deal with Director Guo like this, because this kind of person obviously won't reason with you.
"Director Guo will definitely not give up like this." Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, but found that facing a person who was not prepared to reason, he really didn't have any way to break the situation.
If Zhang Guan is really just an 18-year-old young man, he might think that Director Guo is quite stupid. He can’t wait to label him as soon as they meet him. He has not offended Director Guo, so why does he insist on biting him? What are the benefits of this situation? This is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. But the reality is that there are too many people in life who harm others and do not benefit oneself. Even if you cannot meet them now, you will eventually meet them as time goes by.
"Probably that generation of people did some willful things when they were young, but did not bear the consequences of their willfulness, so they will continue to be willful when they get old!" Zhang Guan closed his eyes, knowing that if he wanted to solve Director Guo problem, the best way is to take advantage of the situation.
Leverage the momentum of Olympic champions!
Once you win the Olympic title, everything will be solved.
Although Zhang Guan is not sure about Director Guo's position in the country, he is certain that Director Guo is definitely not a high-ranking official, and it is impossible for a high-ranking official to come and label him personally. To deal with this kind of little guy, it is not advisable to use your IQ, reason or experience. The best way is to roar like the king of the forest. Even if you are not the king of the forest, you can still be like a fox and invite the tiger to come. Around yourself.
The contest between ordinary athletes and petty officials is unequal; the contest between petty officials and Olympic champions is also unequal.
…
On August 17, the national team did not win a gold medal. The fencing event, which originally had high hopes, was only one step away from the gold medal and won two silver medals. It was also on this day that American swimmer Michael Phelps won two gold medals in the men's 200-meter butterfly and the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay. In addition to the previous 400-meter individual medley, Phelps Has won three Olympic gold medals.
Major European media outlets instantly changed the direction of their reports. Newspapers began to predict that the Chinese Olympic team would enter a downward spiral, and that European and American countries would soon catch up with China. Many sports commentators even predicted that the Chinese team would not win more than 20 gold medals. pieces.
As for Zhang Guan, the media no longer continued to laugh at him, but instead reported on Phelps. The memory time of these media is obviously shorter than that of Chinese investors, and Phelps has become the darling of the media.
On August 18, the Olympic track and field competition officially begins. The men's and women's shot put events will be held first. The qualifying and finals will be held on the same day. However, the track and field team failed to win a medal. The men's shot put stopped qualifying. Although the women's shot put entered the finals, they only achieved ninth place.
This result is not surprising. Although the national team is at the top level in Asia in the shot put event, in a competition like the Olympics, reaching the finals is considered normal performance.
On August 19, there are no track and field events scheduled. The Athens Olympic Stadium will be opened in the morning for athletes to adapt to the venue for the last time, and will be closed in the afternoon to prepare for the upcoming competition.
The gold medal battle between China and the United States is still ongoing. The United States team won four gold medals in one day, including three gold medals in swimming, including Phelps's 200-meter individual medley; while the Chinese team won three gold medals that day. Gold medals, two of which were won in badminton.
For the U.S. team, the track and field event is about to begin. This is the traditional strength of the U.S. team and a big winner of gold medals. As for the Chinese team, table tennis and badminton have entered the finals, and the diving event has not yet started. The Chinese team’s gold medal The potential is still huge.
On August 20, Athens time, two gold medals were awarded in track and field events, namely the men's 20-kilometer walk and the men's 10,000-meter long-distance run. A series of other qualifying matches, such as the men's triple jump qualifying round, the men's hammer throw qualifying round, the men's high jump qualifying round, the women's discus throw qualifying round, etc., are also held on this day.
On August 21, the first round of the men’s 100-meter dash officially begins!
…
According to the competition schedule, there will be two rounds of the 100-meter dash on this day, with the first round starting at 10:35 am Athens time.
The first round of the men's 100-meter dash is divided into 10 groups. The top three in each round plus the other ten athletes with the best results advance to the second round. The second round will be held at 19:40 Athens time.
As for the Chinese players, Chen Jian was placed in the first group, which can be said to be a good draw. In previous competitions, the players in the first group will definitely not be too strong, so Chen Jian is very hopeful to enter the second round.
In the same group as Chen Jian are players from the UK, Nigeria, Namibia, Ghana, Singapore, Sao Tome and Principe, and Japanese player Shingo Suetsugu who is returning from injury. Six of the eight athletes are Olympic A-standard athletes, while Singaporean athletes and Sao Tome and Principe athletes are Olympic B-standard athletes. Among them, Singapore's Bao Shengsong also participated in last year's Asian Athletics Championships and competed with Zhang Guan.
In the athletes' preparation area, Chen Jian looked solemn and took deep breaths in an effort to calm down. The former domestic champion of 100 meters has also participated in many international competitions. It can be said that he has rich competition experience. However, he still felt very nervous in the Olympics. For him, this is the most important game of his career.
"Brother Chen, come on!" Zhang Guan patted Chen Jian on the shoulder.
Chen Jian nodded, but did not answer, and then walked quickly onto the field.
Looking at Chen Jian's leaving figure, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. Zhang Guan could feel that Chen Jian was nervous but not excited at this time, which was not good news for an athlete.
According to pre-match predictions, in the first round of the 100-meter sprint, as long as you can run under 10.30 seconds, you can basically confirm your promotion. Even if you cannot get the top three positions in the group, you can almost enter the ten additional best places within 10.30 seconds. Among the good results. For Chen Jian, whose best time is 10.17 seconds, he only needs to perform slightly better at the 10.30 seconds mark.
Chen Jian, who was in a nervous state, obviously failed to perform at his best, and his final time of 10.45 seconds only ranked fifth.
The whole process of appearing on the field, introducing athletes, preparing to start, and competing took only three or four minutes. Time passed so quickly. When Chen Jian walked off the field with a lonely look on his face, he seemed not to have realized that his Olympic Games had already begun. it's over.
After more than ten years of hard training, Chen Jian came to Athens to participate in the Olympic Games. Chen Jian got two minutes to appear, one minute to prepare, ten seconds to compete, and the last minute to exit.
"Xiao Chen, there is still a chance. The competition is not over yet. In addition to the top three, there are still ten places!" Director Yu comforted.
Chen Jian smiled sadly. In fact, he knew that with his time of 10.45 seconds, in addition to the top three in each group, if we pick the ten fastest, he will definitely not be there.
In the first group, ranked first is Frank Fredericks, a veteran from Namibia known as the "Sprinting Gentleman". He is 37 years old this year and has won the 100-meter silver medal and the 200-meter silver medal at the Atlanta Olympics. , he ran a time of 10.12 seconds; behind him was Nigeria's Uchenna Ermidoru's 10.22 seconds and Japanese player Shingo Suetsugu's 10.27 seconds. These three entered the next round. The fourth-placed British player Darren Campbell ran 10.35 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the fifth-placed Chen Jian.
Although the first group is not the weakest group, it is definitely not the strongest. There are still nine groups to compete in. There will definitely be many people who exceed 10.45 seconds. Chen Jian actually has no hope of entering the next round.
…
In the second group of preliminaries, British star Lewis Francis easily won the first place, followed by Ghana's Aziz Zachary and Hungary's Roland Nemos. Mubarak of Saudi Arabia, who placed fourth, ran a time of 10.36 seconds. However, Maltese player Gilford, who was fifth, only ran 10.67. After the two sets of competitions, two people are already ranked in front of Chen Jian in the additional ten promotion places.
In the third group of games, the most popular player finally appeared, and that was American player Justin Gatlin. Although Gatlin is currently the least favored among the three American athletes, in the course of history, he won the men's 100-meter dash championship at the Athens Olympics.
Perhaps due to the emergence of Gatlin, the level of this group instantly improved a lot. The first place in the group was naturally Gatlin's time of 10.07 seconds, the second was Cayman's Thompson, and the third was Ghana's Mills. The Brazilian Vicente Lima ranked fourth with a time of 10.23 seconds, the Russian Andrei Yepishin ranked fifth with a time of 10.29 seconds, and the Greek local player Theodoridis ranked sixth. The time was 10.32 seconds. This is equivalent to three more people in front of Chen Jian.
"This is the third group! It's worthy of the Olympics. This kind of achievement that can win the championship in Asia, but here can't even enter the second round of the group stage." Director Yu shook his head silently. At this time, he could already It is confirmed that Chen Jian will not qualify for the second round.
In the fourth group of games, another popular American sprinter Sean Crawford came on the stage and easily achieved a time of 10.02 seconds, faster than Gatlin before. It can be seen in the game that Crawford is simply Not trying your best. Behind Crawford was Barbados player Obadlie Thompson, who also ran 10.08 seconds; followed by Slovenia's Osonica. The fourth-placed Burkina Faso native Edrissa Sano is still faster than Chen Jian.
In the fifth group, European champion Francis Obikeweru of Portugal appears. Obikeweru is originally from Nigeria and is also the favorite to win this Olympics. In this group, there was also Japanese player Hiroshi Tsuchie. He finally finished fifth, but his time of 10.37 seconds was still faster than Chen Jian.
Star players appeared in four consecutive groups, making the audience excited. There are also big-name players such as Maurice Green, Asafa Powell, Jason Gardner and Kim Collins who have yet to appear.
Halfway through the ten group matches, the organizers, as if to allow the audience to adjust their emotions, did not arrange the above big-name players in the sixth group. In the eyes of many professionals, the sixth group is the weakest group in the group stage.
Zhang Guan is about to appear in the sixth group.
