Among European countries, the United Kingdom is considered the strongest boxing country. The United Kingdom has many famous boxers, has produced several boxing champions, and can also occupy a place in the world of professional boxing.
Among non-professional boxers, the British are equally strong. For example, Anthony Joshua is the biggest favorite to win the 91kg and above category at the London Olympics.
Anthony Joshua is a black player. He won the Xia Linji Box Cup twice in 2009 and 2010, and won the ABAE Classic twice in 2010 and 2011. Both competitions were It is a very important event in amateur boxing, and the most valuable one is the runner-up in the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championship. This shows that Anthony Joshua already has the strength of the top amateur boxer in the world.
"This Anthony Joshua will win the gold medal in this Olympics!" Zhang Guan looked up Anthony Joshua's information, and then recalled it carefully, remembering that after winning the Olympic championship, this black young man entered the professional boxing world. He has won several important heavyweight boxing titles and is considered a future star in the UK.
"Young man, it's a pity that you met me! You won't get the Olympic gold medal. If you want to blame, blame Sebastian, the chairman of your Olympic Organizing Committee!" Zhang Guan competed in the heavyweight boxing event Check the box to indicate that you want to participate in this project.
"But I still have to get qualified for the Olympic boxing competition now." Zhang Guan immediately went online to search for relevant information.
There are 10 levels of men's boxing in the Olympics, with a total of 250 quotas. The host country has 5 quotas, and the boxing committee can allocate 5 wild card quotas. The other 240 qualifications are determined by qualifying matches.
"I don't want to play in any qualifying rounds." Zhang Guan set his sights on the five wild card spots from the boxing committee.
"I'm afraid it won't be of much use to go to the domestic boxing association for this matter. After all, there are only 5 wild card places, but there are so many countries participating. There will definitely not be enough points. We still have to go to Harrington!"
Zhang Guan picked up the phone and dialed Harrington's number.
"Mr. Zhang Guan, I received your call again. I have just sent the information you requested. Have you received it?" Harrington asked enthusiastically.
"I have received it, thank you. In addition, regarding the boxing match, I can also give you an answer. I can compete." Zhang Guan said.
"That's great. I'll notify the headquarters immediately and I'll send you the contract later." Harrington was in a good mood.
"But I have a small request, I hope you can help me." Zhang Guan continued.
"Please tell me, as long as it's something we can do, we will definitely find a way to help you complete it." Harrington said.
"I want a quota for the London Olympics boxing competition." Zhang Guan said.
"Oh? Are you going to participate in the boxing competition at the London Olympics?" Harrington asked immediately.
"Yes. I am preparing to participate in the Olympic boxing competition in the 91kg and above category. But I am not qualified yet." Zhang Guan then asked: "Is it difficult to get a qualification for the Olympics?"
"No, no, no, it's not difficult at all, it's too easy!" Harrington continued: "The Boxing Tripartite Committee has five Olympic wild card spots, just ask them for one."
Zhang Guan felt that Harrington's tone was very relaxed and felt a little unreliable. He was afraid that Harrington was deceiving him, so he couldn't help but confirm: "Is it really that simple?"
"A quota for Olympic boxing may be difficult for others, but it is easy for us." Harrington continued: "I remember telling you before that the match between you and Klitschko , and also received the support of the four major professional boxing alliances, which are the top professional boxing alliances in the world. To them, the Boxing Tripartite Committee is like a little brother. As long as they are willing to open their mouths, a wild card spot is not within easy reach. !”
Zhang Guan nodded in realization. Professional boxing and amateur boxing were indeed not the same sport. Those top professional boxers eventually entered professional competitions to compete for the gold belt of professional boxing. This relationship is a bit like the NBA and NCAA in the United States. Only those who perform best in the NCAA can enter the NBA, and even if they enter the NBA, most people can only become substitutes or water dispenser managers.
…
After qualifying for boxing, Zhang Guan continued to look at the odds list provided by the betting company.
"Football? A team sport of more than ten people. Besides, the Chinese team is not even qualified to participate, so don't worry about it. Hockey? Same thing. Judo, the odds for British players are very poor, and I don't remember any talent in British judo. , it looks like there is no gold medal left! Bicycle? Hey! It’s here!”
Zhang Guan saw the name of a British athlete again in the cycling event, and he was still the favorite to win the gold medal.
"The defending champion of the track cycling keirin is British Hoy. The defending champion of the track cycling sprint is also Hoy. I know that Hoy is a heroic figure in the UK. He won the time trial gold medal at the Athens Olympics. In the 2008 Olympics, he won three gold medals in track cycling and was knighted by the Queen of England for it. In the 2012 London Olympics, Hoy was the home game and the biggest favorite for the gold medal!"
Zhang Guan narrowed his eyes: "He is a British hero, and he has also been knighted. The biggest favorite to win the track cycling championship is this event. We must attack the British team!"
Cycling is Britain's traditional advantage and a major gold medal event. Britain has also produced many excellent cyclists. If they can take away the British gold medal in the cycling event, it will definitely be a huge blow to the British team.
"Does the UK also need to participate in the qualifying competition for track cycling? No, since track cycling has a team competition, it should be registered on a national basis. I guess it should be similar to short track speed skating in the Winter Olympics. The country has achieved a certain level After the quota is reached, drivers will be selected to compete." Zhang Guan thought of this and immediately checked online and found that the facts were exactly as he had guessed.
In the track cycling event, a country can get up to 7 participating places, and the total number of men and women is 14. These places are determined through various previous qualifications and qualifiers. As for who will be sent to participate in which events in the end, it is each representative team. It's my own problem.
"The national team's bicycles are neither strong nor weak. There is no problem in qualifying for the competition. If I want to beat the British in this event, I have to ask the Cycling Association for a quota." Zhang Guan couldn't help but think of it. President Zhu of the Cycling Association.
Zhang Guan then looked down and found another familiar sport and several familiar names.
"In road cycling, the most popular players in the individual time trial are British player Wiggins; British player Fromm; in road cycling, the most popular players in the road race are British player Wiggins, British player Cavendish, and British player Mirral! Tour de France Will these defeated opponents in cycling meet again at the London Olympics?"
Zhang Guan picked up his phone and found the number of Zhu, the president of the Bicycle Association.
“It looks like I really have to agree to President Zhu’s promise to participate in the London Olympics road cycling competition!”
