Almighty Athlete Chapter 93: Struggling to give favors
This year's Golden League Brussels is different because this year is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Belgian Olympic Committee. The Belgian government has specially arranged the celebration ceremony at the opening ceremony of the track and field Golden League Brussels station.
In addition to Belgium’s royal family and dignitaries, IOC President Rogge will also participate in the celebration. It is said that it is difficult to invite the president of the International Olympic Committee to celebrate the founding of the Olympic Committee of ordinary countries. However, Roger himself is a Belgian, so naturally he has to participate.
The presence of the Olympic Committee President Rogge has invisibly raised the level of competition in Brussels. The Belgian government also announced that it will be the title of the honorary citizen of Brussels and the city key for athletes who will break the world record at Brussels. An additional bonus of 100,000 Euros is given.
Money rewards can only be regarded as the second. The most important rewards are those who broke the world record at Brussels. They will be invited to participate in a private dinner hosted by the Belgian royal family tomorrow night. Will participate. This is not an ordinary dinner. If the athlete can participate, it represents the friendship between the Belgian royal family and the International Olympic Committee President Rogge.
Able to win the friendship of the Belgian royal family, obviously has greatly improved the commercial value of athletes, at least in Europe, this athlete's worth is definitely rising. Of course, this is not the key. The most important thing is Rog, the president of the International Olympic Committee.
Roger is a Belgian himself, if he can break the world record at Brussels. Not only to send a big gift to Belgium, but also to give Roger a disguise in disguise. Who in the sports world of the world can match the favor of the President of the International Olympic Committee?
For an athlete to be able to establish a relationship with the president of the International Olympic Committee. The future development path will be much smoother, especially if you choose to participate in politics in the future, there will be many conveniences, such as the election of the Olympic Committee members, the bidding for hosting sporting events for your country, etc. There are extra points. Very much outside. For example, when a champion in the national ball game had a good relationship with the then president of the Olympic Committee, the champion repeatedly won important tasks after he entered politics. All the way up.
The sponsors of the star athletes have also fought to express their performance. The sponsor of the men’s three-kilometre obstacle Shahien announced that if Shahien broke the world record, all live audiences and **** will be invited; the car sponsor behind Isinbayeva may promise that once she breaks the world record Send a newest luxury suv car.
Zhang Guan was resting in the hotel room, but heard the knock on the door, and Zhang Guan opened the door, only to see the guide walk in front. Followed by a man in a suit and leather shoes, this man Zhang Guan also knew, it was the Zhu Counselor that Zhang Guan had seen during the Athens Olympics.
"Zhang Guan, we meet again!" Counselor Zhu said with a smile!
"Counselor Zhu! Hello, I haven't seen you for a long time! Come in and sit down!" Zhang Guan will guide and counselor Zhu to enter the house.
When the Athens Olympics was held, Counselor Zhu ran to convey the invitation of the Prince of Dubai, and then Zhang Guan met Sharapova for the first time at the dinner of the Prince of Dubai. Two years later, Zhang Guan has seen Counselor Zhu again, and the appearance of Counselor Zhu has not changed much, but it looks a little thinner than two years ago.
Guiding Yu walked into the room and said, "Isn’t it possible to call Zhu Counselor now. You should call him Director Zhu instead."
Director Zhu immediately answered: "I am no longer working in the Athens Embassy because I had many contacts with the Olympic Organizing Committee during the Athens Olympics, so I was transferred to the 2008 Olympic Organizing Committee. Now I am mainly in Lausanne, Switzerland, responsible for some Olympic communications."
After a few people sat down, Zhang Guan first asked: "Director Zhu, you are looking for me this time. I don't know any instructions?"
"Where can I talk about any instructions! I also go to the Three Treasure Halls, and I have something to ask for!" Director Zhu said, looking like he was talking.
"It's okay, Director Zhu, please just say it. I will do it within my ability." Zhang Guan said.
"Okay, I will just say it!" Director Zhu took a deep breath and said: "We hope you can break the world record in the Golden League Zurich!"
"What?" Zhang Guan's eyes widened in surprise. Zhang Guan noticed that Director Zhu used the word "we". Obviously this is not Director Zhu's personal idea.
Director Zhu continued a little embarrassedly: "We also know that this requirement is too abrupt, and we also understand that this world record-breaking thing is not a play. It needs a combination of various factors to make it possible, but if I mean, if possible, we hope you can challenge the world record. If it doesn’t work, it’s okay.”
Zhang Guan thought for a while and then said: "I will try it in the game! But is it convenient for me to know what is the purpose of breaking the world record?"
"This does not involve any confidential matters, let me tell you the truth!" Director Zhu continued: "This time in the Golden League Zurich, the Belgian Olympic Committee will celebrate its 100th anniversary. You must be I know. And the athletes who broke the world record in Zurich can participate in the private dinner of the Belgian royal family. This private dinner is small in scale and not many people participate, but the International Olympic Committee President Rogge will be invited to participate."
"Do you want to approach Roger through me?" Zhang Guan asked.
Director Zhu nodded and admitted, and Zhang Guan then asked: "Ask him?"
Director Zhu shook his head: "Almost."
Zhang Guan suddenly felt that it did not meet the cleanup. If you are looking for Rogge for official business, just go through the official channels. There is no need to let yourself break the world record, and then approach Rogge at the private dinner. Big circle.
"Or public relations," Zhu explained, "Roger is a Belgian, and the Zurich station is the 100th anniversary celebration of the Belgian Olympic Committee. If you can break the world record at the Zurich station, it is equivalent to sending Give Roger a favor, and all we need is this favor."
"After Roger took office, he implemented reforms at the International Olympic Committee and proposed streamlining the Olympic Games. Several events have been cut off in the next Olympic Games. Since we successfully bid for the Olympics, we have always hoped that The martial arts event will be included in the performance of the next Olympic Games. But the resistance of this matter is very large, the main reason is the streamlining plan of the Olympic Games promoted by Roger."
"For the entry of martial arts into the Olympic performance, we also did a series of public relations work in the early stage of the Olympic Games Organizing Committee, but Roger himself has no way, so we hope you can continue to the Belgian royal dinner. Mention this matter to Roger."
"Can Roger agree?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Of course it is impossible to agree immediately!" Director Zhu shook his head: "Our Olympic Committee has already prepared the corresponding plan. You go to Roger to mention this matter and let Roger agree to accept the plan , The public relations work that follows is our business. In fact, as long as Rogge expresses his objection unclearly, it will become a matter of fact. When you go to the banquet site, what do you say and what will happen , How to deal with it. We all have a plan in advance, and we will teach you. But the premise is that you must break the world record tomorrow to participate in that banquet!"
Of course, Zhang Guan knows the significance of martial arts being included in the Olympic performance. Even if the martial arts enters the Olympics, it will be a stage for people from all over the world to understand China. In Zhang Guan's memory, martial arts has been in operation for the next Olympics for a long time. There have even been news of failures on several occasions. At that time, it was very difficult to accomplish this.
There are so many member countries in the International Olympic Committee, and many people from various countries serve on the committees established by the International Olympic Committee. The interests are complicated. From the right to bid for the Olympic Games to the individual events of a certain game, all kinds of public relations, operations and exchanges of interests are involved. This kind of deep-seated thing Zhang Guan is not accessible, but since the National Olympic Organizing Committee has asked itself, There must be a corresponding operation method. How to implement it, Zhang Guan will not know. He also doesn't want to blend.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan said: "Since it is a national need, I will go all out for tomorrow’s game and get a world record or two."
"One or two? He seems to be only involved in two projects." Director Zhu is a bit uncomfortable with Zhang Guan's way of speaking.
Guide Yu next to him shook his head silently, and the kid Zhang Guan was going to start screaming again!
Belgium very much hopes that some players can break the world record in the competition, which will add to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Belgian Olympic Committee. The athletes are also planning to break the world record, because the potential benefits of this world record are really Too much. It is a pity that no one wants to do so. In the few events after the start of the game, no player broke the world record.
The queen of pole vaulting in Russia has secured the championship after jumping 4.81 meters, so she raised the benchmark to 5.03 meters, challenging the new world record, but unfortunately failed.
Ethiopian women’s long-distance runner Di Baba made a comeback at this stop, while also playing the women’s 5,000-meter world record holding Defar. The final result was Di Baba’s score of 14 minutes 30 seconds 65, Defar’s The score is 14 minutes, 33 seconds and 78, which is far from the world record of 14 minutes, 24 seconds and 53. As for the men's middle-distance runner Beckler, he lost the game.
Shaqin, the king of 3000 meters obstacle in Qatar, had high hopes before the game. He also publicly stated in a media interview that he would challenge the world record of 3000 meters obstacle course, but Shahien's final score was 8 minutes 04 seconds 32, distance His own world record of 7 minutes, 53 seconds and 63 seconds is still far behind.
When Shahien crossed the finish line for the first time, he raised his arms and began to celebrate, but in addition to the sparse applause in the audience, there were more unsatisfactory boos. The sponsor of Shaheen once promised before the game that once Shaheen broke the world record in the game, he would lighten the audience to drink beer, so the audience at this time was a little disappointed with Shaheen.
Rogge, who was sitting in the VIP room, looked a bit gloomy. During the interview before the game, Shahien was very full of talk, but in the end, the chain fell off.
Belgium, the seventy-year-old king of Belgium, has left early~IndoMTL.com~ Philip is still sitting beside Roger, who reads from Philip’s expression of excitement and disappointment, this His Royal Highness, who looks very old, actually hopes that an athlete can break the world record in Belgium.
Rogue suddenly felt quite faceless at this time, and people all had vanity, even if he was expensive as the president of the International Olympic Committee. At this time, he couldn't help being anxious. He personally attended the competition in Brussels to create a momentum for the establishment of the Belgian Olympic Committee. If there is one less world record, this momentum will be overshadowed.
At this time, the athletes of the next game began to enter, and Roger suddenly saw the figure of Zhang Guan.
"It looks like the Chinese are expected to break the world record!" (To be continued)
