All-round Athlete

Chapter 98 New Goal: King of Track and Field

The young Usain Bolt finished a day of training and dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory.

Jamaica is a poor country, and the vast majority of people in a poor country are also poor. Bolt’s father is one of the poor. He not only has no money, but also owes a lot of debt. It can be said that he is the poorest among the poor. the poor. So for Bolt, sprinting is his only chance to get rid of poverty, so he usually trains very hard.

Not long ago, Bolt stood out from the talented Jamaican team and successfully got a place in the Olympic Games. He participated in the Olympic men's 200-meter sprint event. Unfortunately, he was injured in the first round of the competition. He only ran for 21.05 seconds and did not enter the next round.

Bolt returned to the simple dormitory, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the posters cut from newspapers on his wall. It was an Asian athlete, to be precise, a Chinese athlete. He looked back before the finish line. Behind him, several black athletes were desperately chasing forward.

The one on the poster is Zhang Guan, Bolt's idol and the goal he strives for.

At this time, Bolt's teammate Michael Flat just passed by Bolt's door, he saw Bolt in the room, and then said: "Yosein, your Chinese idol broke the world record! "

While talking, Frate threw the newspaper in his hand to Bolt, and Bolt turned around and took the newspaper. The headline on the front page read "China breaks world record twice in January!" "

"Zhang broke the world record again? It's only been a month!" Bolt's face was full of shock. He read the whole report carefully, and his face looked a little depressed.

"We are both eighteen years old, but the distance between us is getting farther and farther. No, I have to work hard, otherwise I will never be able to catch up with your footsteps..."

At the same time, in the United States, Stephen Curry pointed to the headlines on the computer screen, and proudly said to his younger brother: "See, this is my idol, Zhang. It's only been one month. A world record was broken!"

...

The men's 100-meter sprint is undoubtedly the most watched of all athletics events, and a world record in this event means that the fastest man on the planet. Every time a person breaks the men's 100m world record, he is eligible to be on the front page of the news, not to mention that Zhang Guan broke the world record twice within a month. So on the second day, the name Zhang Guan appeared again in the news headlines of the world's major media.

Of course there are exceptions, and that is Japan. At this time, Japan's sour small country mentality fully exploded, and the Japanese media still focused on reporting the reissue of the gold medal to Koji Murofushi. Zhang Guan broke the world record again. The Japanese media did not report on Johnson's affairs.

Then when Zhang Guan returned to China, the airport was besieged by reporters again, but only a few reporters from big media were qualified to interview Zhang Guan. And Zhang Guan did not stay too long. After coming out of the international departure terminal of the airport, he went straight to the domestic departure terminal, preparing to rush to Luzhou to participate in the annual finals of the National Track and Field Grand Prix.

The Athletics Association will also prepare a press conference in Luzhou, mainly to introduce Zhang Guan's breaking the world record again.

After arriving in Luzhou, although Zhang Guan was very tired, he still participated in the press conference, and then participated in the media meeting before the National Athletics Grand Prix. Later, when I returned to the residence arranged by the competition, I met with old acquaintances such as Chen Jian and Shen Bao.

Although Luzhou is the capital of a province, it is not a coastal area after all. The development of the city is far inferior to those big first-tier cities, and the old Guangming Stadium where this competition is held can only accommodate 10,000 people. After all, this stadium There has been no track and field competition for fifteen years, and both the venue and the facilities are very outdated.

But the citizens of Luzhou are quite enthusiastic. The stadium of 10,000 people finally squeezed in more than 12,000 people, not to mention the stands were packed, even the aisles were full of people. Sitting, squatting, standing, in short, there are people everywhere. Maybe most of them don't understand track and field, but they all know Zhang Guan. Most of them come here to see the world's number one flying man.

A lot of reporters also came from the media. Even those who didn't plan to send people to interview, after Zhang Guan broke the world record again, they all sent people to interview.

The moment Zhang Guan walked out of the athlete's tunnel, the audience in the arena began to erupt. Zhang Guan had no choice but to keep waving to the surrounding audience. However, all kinds of cameras were always aimed at Zhang Guan, and all kinds of flashlights almost blinded him. "Alloy dog ​​eyes"!

Finally, Zhang Guan stood on the track, the referee signaled the athletes to get ready, and the athletes also got ready to start.

The race is about to start, but no one in the audience holds their breath. They will witness the world's number one flying man running on the track with their own eyes, and they simply cannot restrain their excitement.

"Zhang Guan! Come on!"

"Zhang Guan! Break another world record!"

All kinds of shouts, cheering, and simple roars were mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish them. Under this kind of atmosphere, even people who were originally calm would be infected and become agitated.

Finally, the gunshots sounded.

Then, Zhang Guan didn't move.

The cheers were so loud that Zhang Guan couldn't decide whether he really heard the gunshot, so he didn't start it immediately. But after the other athletes started to run, Zhang Guan knew that the race had started.

Fortunately, not long ago in Yokohama, Zhang Guan increased his status to over 90. Although it has declined a bit, he still maintains a value of 84, which is still a stage where he can display his strength beyond the level.

Therefore, Zhang Guan started to catch up from the last place.

From the last to the first place, it took Zhang Guan nearly 10 seconds to surpass seven players in a row and rush to the first place. In the sprint event, the process of surpassing is obviously the most passionate performance, which feasts the eyes of the audience. As Zhang Guan continues to surpass, the audience also does not hesitate to shout. Many audiences in this 10 seconds Everyone shouted loudly, but afterwards they all thought it was worth it.

At 10.13 seconds, even though he didn't notice the gunshot when he started, Zhang Guan still easily won the championship. This result may not be achieved in the international arena, but it is definitely a championship-level result in China or even in Asia.

Next, the reporters gathered around like dogs on a scent. Although it is natural for Zhang Guan to win the championship, it seems that there is no news to watch, but as a focus person, even if he farts, reporters can still write a follow-up report on the taste of farts.

Zhang Guan was very friendly and pulled several acquaintances who participated in the finals closer, such as Chen Jian, Shen Bao and others, and then took photos one by one in front of the reporter's camera. There are not many opportunities for domestic track and field athletes to be photographed on weekdays. Zhang Guan’s doing this can be regarded as helping other athletes to increase their popularity, which will help them sign more advertisements or do more acupuncture activities in the future.

Athletes are born to be young, and other people don't have countless advertisements and endorsements like Zhang Guan, so Zhang Guan feels that it is always good to help others win more.

With the appearance of Zhang Guan, the atmosphere of the game was also pushed to a climax.

The audience at the scene were very happy, they enjoyed the wonderful performance of the world's first flying man.

The sponsors of the competition are also very happy. Such a high degree of attention, so many reporters, and so many spectators are exactly what the sponsors need. Some sponsors have already begun to consider whether to continue sponsoring this event next year.

The Athletic Association is also very happy because the sponsors are very happy. The Athletic Association is not afraid of holding competitions, and the Athletic Association even thinks that the more competitions the better. But running competitions requires money. Compared with other systems, the five major undertakings of science, education, culture, health, and sports have always had little money. So the sponsors are happy, and there will be no shortage of money to hold the competition next year.

As for Zhang Guan, he was also happy. Although the continuous competition made him very tired, the national championship he just won gave him another skill point. In addition to the four skill points of the previous Olympic champion and the total of eight skill points for breaking the world record twice, Zhang Guan's current skill points are still very abundant.

"I have to learn some new skills." Zhang Guan was no longer satisfied with being a champion of the 100-meter sprint.

...

"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door, and Director Yu looked at his watch subconsciously. It was already nine o'clock. Although it was not too late at this time, he still couldn't think of anyone who would knock on him at this time. the door.

Director Yu opened the door, but saw Zhang Guan was standing in front of his door, he said in surprise: "Zhang Guan, why is it you? What's the matter?"

Seeing Director Yu's expression, Zhang Guan wondered in his heart whether the old man thought it was a big sword knocking on the door, and then he said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Come in and sit down!" Director Yu let Zhang Guan into the room, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"I want to practice 200 meters." Zhang Guan said directly.

Director Yu took a deep breath, he didn't expect Zhang Guan to have such an idea at all, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Young people are aggressive and motivated, it is good to dare to accept new challenges, I have to praise you for that But you have to think about it. There is still a big difference between 200 meters and 100 meters. Although it is only an extra corner, it requires a lot of technical requirements. Normally, it takes several months to practice Only then can we fully grasp the technical points, and it may take a year to meet the requirements for the competition.”

"I know, I want to try." Zhang Guanyin paused, and then said: "I'm not afraid of difficulties. And I see that sprinters from other countries can participate in several events, and I also want to hide a few gold medals."

"It's understandable that you have this kind of thinking." Director Yu frowned slowly, and continued: "There are many 100-meter runners and 200-meter events at the same time, but most of them, the main event is 200 meters. , or originally from the 200-meter training. Generally, those who can win the world championship in the 200-meter event are also capable of winning the 100-meter event; but athletes whose main event is the 100-meter event often win No results."

Director Yu paused, and then said: "So I have to say the ugly words first. If you run 200 meters, you may not be as dazzling as 100 meters. In the 200 meters event, you may not be able to win the world championship. Not to mention breaking the world record."

"I believe that I will be able to run the 200 meters well, I will win the 200 meters world championship, and I will break the 200 meters world record." Zhang Guan clenched his fists tightly and said firmly: "I want to be the world leader in the world. King of track and field!"
