Almighty Athlete Chapter 11: For the Olympics

On January 10th, the grouping of the 2008 Australian Open was officially announced. What surprised people was that the defending champion of the men’s singles, the world’s No. 1 Zhang Guan, withdrew from the Australian Open.

The news made a sensation in the tennis world like a thunderbolt on the sunny day. People are very curious why the defending champion Zhang Guan will withdraw from the Australian Open.

All kinds of rumors followed, first of all said injuries, some said Zhang Guan injured his arm, some said Zhang Guan injured his leg, some said Zhang Guan injured his spine, Zhang Guan instantly became a martial arts The man in the novel with a broken meridian.

Followed by illness, some said that Zhang Guan had a cold and fever, and some said that Zhang Guan had gastritis and appendicitis, and even serious cases of Parkinson’s and AIDS were mentioned.

In addition, there are some more unreasonable reasons, what was hit by the car, the crime was caught in the bureau, and was reported by the enthusiastic Chaoyang masses.

Under all kinds of rumors, the championship team and the tennis center jointly held a press conference to explain that Zhang Guan’s withdrawal from the Australian Open is to prepare for the Olympics, and said that Zhang Guan will also give up the other three major events this year For slam tournaments, only participate in the tennis games of the Capital Olympics.

Give up the four Grand Slam games for the Olympics, which is incredible for many people, especially professional tennis players. After all, the prize money of the four slams is very high, and the popularity of the four slams can also bring additional benefits to athletes. Especially in sports with a relatively high degree of professionalism, the Olympics are more of an honorary nature, while professional competitions are related to their own jobs. Participating in the four Grand Slam matches without delaying the Olympic Games, and giving up rice bowls for honor, many people do not understand the choice of Zhang Guan.

Another day later, the Athletics Management Center issued a press release with the theme that Zhang Guan is about to return to track and field training in preparation for this year’s Olympics. At the same time, the press release also hinted that Zhang Guan will participate in multiple Olympic track and field events.

At this time, everyone realized that Zhang Guan was really prepared for this year's Olympics, so it gave up the Grand Slam competition. Zhang Guan is going to participate in the Olympic track and field events, but also to participate in several small items, which certainly requires a lot of time to prepare for the battle.

And some media saw the news of the Tianguan Center, and then thought of the press conference of the Tennis Center, and immediately reached a conclusion that Zhang Guan will participate in the Olympic Games and tennis two major events at the same time!

An athlete has to participate in two major events in the same Olympics! Although this happened in the early Olympics, it is in the modern Olympics. It is impossible to appear. Tianting CEO

In the early Olympics, the contestants were all amateur athletes or sports enthusiasts, so there have been cases where the same athlete participated in two or more Olympic events at the same time. However, in the modern Olympics, all athletes participate in professional athletes. Many athletes have trained for more than ten years only for one Olympics. Therefore, both the competitive level and the level of competitors are unmatched in the early Olympics.

In this situation where athletes are becoming more and more "specialized", they participate in different sub-items, such as swimming in freestyle, backstroke and butterfly strokes, and track and field in 100m and 200m. Gymnastics participates in floor exercise, vaulting, and rings at the same time. These are relatively common, but it is basically impossible to participate in two major events. Because you need to meet certain standards if you want to participate in the Olympic Games, it is already very difficult for an athlete to meet the Olympic standards in a large event. Not to mention the two big items.

Zhang Guan once again violated everyone's normal cognition, he also successfully grabbed the headlines of the sports version the next day.

There has also been intense discussion on the Internet, with some optimistic about Zhang Guan and of course declining.

In a sports fan discussion group.

"Have you heard about it. Zhang Guan is going to participate in both Olympic track and field events and tennis?"

"Of course, today's sports media headlines are all this. The comments from the netizens below are tens of thousands!"

"You said that Zhang Guan can win several gold medals in the Olympic Games? I have at least four!"

"Four? You look too high on him. I think he can't even get one. Zhang Guan hasn't participated in track and field competition for more than a year. Now he estimates that there is no competition at all. It’s good to get a medal! Maybe because of the track and field practice, the tennis will be delayed again, and then the bamboo basket will be empty!"

"It's too one-sided to say so! Zhang Guan's advantages in the 100m and 200m projects are still very obvious. Even if the status declines, I think there should be no problem in keeping the gold medal! If you add 400m , 800 meters, 1500 meters, and long jump, so many projects, it is not too much to get two or three gold medals"

"How can Zhang Guan have so many matches alone? Physically not allowed!" The evil lord only favors the princess of the doctor

"There is absolutely no problem with physical strength. At the Asian Games last year, Zhang Guan did not participate in seven events at the same time? And won seven gold medals."

"These are all track and field events, don’t forget to participate in the tennis competition of Zhang Guan this year, he is going to win the gold slam! There is one more tennis event, but it’s very different!"

"Have a quick look at this report. On this, Zhang Guan did not participate in the four Grand Slam competitions and lost hundreds of millions! I sent the news link!"

This news report first lists the gains of tennis stars such as Federer and Nadal in the Grand Slam, and then calculates the total slam gains obtained by Zhang Guan last year, including bonuses, advertising endorsements, etc., and finally proposes Zhang Guan Failure to participate in the four major slams of tennis will bring you a lot of economic losses, and calculated a very exaggerated figure.

At the end of the article, it is specifically stated that Zhang Guan did this for the Olympic Games held in the capital, in order to win more gold medals, willing to bear huge economic losses, is a performance that takes into account the overall situation.

In the view of Zhang Guan, this report is a bit too exaggerated, the income figures are exaggerated, and the comments attached later are also exaggerated, and they have simply shaped themselves as heroes for the Olympic Games. IndoMTL.com~ But in this age of money supremacy, the title "Loss of hundreds of millions" is indeed eye-catching enough to win Zhang Guan applause.

This report is of course from the hands of the champion team. Under the operation of the champion team, the direction of public opinion is also one-sided and praises Zhang Guan. Of course, this time also needs a positive propaganda object. The sports industry even set off Zhang Guan learning" call.

Zhang Guan did not participate in the Australian Open, but Sharapova performed very well in the Australian Open. He defeated Davenport in the second round and Dementieva in the fourth round. She defeated Haining and won Jankovic in the semifinals. She defeated Ivanovic in the finals and won many women's singles champions. She finally won the championship, which was her third Grand Slam title.

And with the end of the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan also ended his vacation, bid farewell to his family and returned to the training center, once again to the track and field training ground. (.)
