Almighty Athlete Chapter 25: Lawrence World Sports Award

On the plane, Zhang Guan looked at the newspaper’s sports section about the report on the US doping scandal~IndoMTL.com~ It’s going to look at it

"I remember Gatlin’s doping scandal was only reported in 2oo6. Why is it one year earlier? Is it the so-called butterfly effect caused by my arrival? But I haven’t even been to the United States, What does it have to do with me." Zhang Guan thought to himself.

Zhang Guan didn’t know that it was really caused by him. Zhang Guan became the world champion, and also broke the world record, so Kondo Turtle would be so persistent to check Zhang Guan, but did not expect to find the problem of Gatlin, and then Kondo Turtle was arrested in the robbery, directly to the athletes The issue of doping was reported, and only then did a series of IAAF investigations and the current large-scale doping scandal in the United States.

Zhang Guan didn’t pay any attention to these things, but he knew that at least in the past few years, it was unlikely to meet Gatlin on the field. He closed the newspaper and began to think about the Lawrence Sports Award.

The nominations for this Lawrence Sports Awards were announced not long ago. The nominees for the best male athletes include Tour de France six-time champion Lance Armstrong, Formula One seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, tennis king Roger Federer, Olympic 15oo meters and 5ooo meters champion Shilam El Queroy and World Moto Car champion Grand Prix Valentino Rossi. The golfer Tiger Woods, who has won several awards before, was not nominated.

Best female athlete nominations include pole vault queen Yelena Isinbayeva, Olympic heptathlon champion Carolina Crawford, Olympic 8oo meters and 15oo meters champion Kylie Holmes, seventh place The winner of the four major golf tournaments, Anneka Sorenstam and Olympic cycling champion Leontian Van Mosel.

As for the best newcomer nomination, in addition to Zhang Guan, Sharapova and Phelps, there are 17-year-old French women’s swimming champion Romanado, and Spain’s 19-year-old motorcycle champion Danny Pi De Rossa and 17-year-old Athens boxing silver medalist Amir Han. This Amirhan is not an Indian movie star, but an Englishman, just with the same name.

It is worth mentioning that all of the best newcomers nominated by this year's athletes are under 2o years old, and the oldest Phelps will not be until 2o years old next month.

From the nomination of the best newcomer, Phelps is undoubtedly the first hottest. Then came Zhang Guan and Sharapova. As for several other young athletes, neither the achievements nor the fame in the sports field can be compared with these three.

But Zhang Guan knows. Sharapova is unlikely to win the Best Newcomer Award, because this year Federer defeated a series of strong players such as Schumacher and Armstrong to become the best male athletes, and the award committee in order to balance the major events of each competition It is unlikely that another tennis player will be selected as the best newcomer.

But track and field events are different. Athletics is a big event, and it is divided into many small items. The achievements in each small item are enough to enter the nomination, as well as the swimming event, so there are many track and field winners in the one Lawrence Award or It is possible for multiple swimmers to win awards.

"Phelps! Still Phelps! With him in, I am afraid it will be difficult to win this rookie award! Forget it, don't want to, sleep!" Zhang Guan changed to a more comfortable posture, Ready to go to sleep.

And in the jury of the Lawrence Awards, the judges are also having heated discussions.

"Schumi (Schumacher) once again ruled the F1 field last year. He won 13 games throughout the season and I think he is well suited to be the best male athlete."

"No, no, Schumacher has won the best male athlete last year and the year before the first year. I think this award should be awarded to Armstrong. It is said that he will retire after the Tour de France this year."

"Isn’t Armstrong the best male athlete of the previous year! I think this award should have some new faces, such as Federer! Federer won 11 championship titles last year, including three Grand Slams."

Everyone expressed their opinions. After a vote, Federer was named the best male athlete.

Later in the women’s project vote. The big hit Isinbayeva lost to the British Holmes, mainly because Isinbayeva was Russian.

Following the vote for the best sports team of the year, the Italian men’s football team won the favor of the jury, defeating powerful opponents such as the Argentine men’s football team, the Portuguese Porto football club, and the Italian Ferrari team. The so-called Iraqi football team that is touted as the most representative of sportsmanship in the Olympic Games. Not even nominated.

Obviously, these judges are not so impartial. Under the same conditions, they are more willing to choose athletes from Western Ouada countries, and the public relations behind the nominees will also play a big role at this moment. Like the Iraqi football team, they played so tenaciously in the Olympics because no one was behind it for public relations. Can't even enter the nomination.

Next, everyone began to comment on the best newcomer award form.

"Since Federer is already the best male athlete, I don't think it is necessary to award Sharapova a best newcomer, and she is also a Russian, although he grew up in the United States."

Although the Cold War has ended for more than a decade, Western European countries still generally have a hostile attitude towards Russia. In sports, Western Europe was suppressed by the former Soviet Union for so many years. Nowadays, it is difficult to stop fearing Russia. Naturally do not want to Choose a Russian athlete.

"So what about China’s Zhang Guan? He was the first Chinese and Asian to win the championship in track and field sprint, and the first Asian to break the world record in track and field sprint. He broke the 100 meters twice last year. The world record for sprinting, and this year, he took seven indoor championships in our Europe and broke the world record of 6 meters indoors twice. This result is that there must be no one on the award for the best male athlete. Doubt, and his popularity in Europe is still very high."

"Wouldn’t Phelps be more appropriate if he counted this? Phelps won six gold medals at the Athens Olympics, and he has also set five world records, and his results are better than Zhang Guan. Is dazzling, and he is a world-class star."

"Athletics is obviously more concerned than swimming. And the United States just broke the doping scandal recently, and there have been more than a dozen big stars involved in the case, which makes me a little confused about Phelps."

All the jury members fell into silence. A series of stimulant scandals just broke out, and many big names were caught in this scandal, and the projects involved were extremely broad. Although Phelps was not exposed to use illegal drugs, everyone present knows what virtue Americans are. At the same time, think of Phelps' usual image is not a good baby. Phelps himself is a little prince in a nightclub. Not to mention, he was arrested for drunk driving twice after the Olympics last year. If this kind of person uses illegal drugs, everyone really Unconsciously strange.

The more advanced awards, the more you care about your authority. If it is some small prizes that do not come up with some topics to hype themselves, but the award of this level of Lawrence is obviously unwilling to accept any scandal.

Many of the winners of the Academy Awards are scandal-ridden, and there are various chaos in Hollywood circles, but this does not affect the authority of the Oscars. Even if a film actor killed someone, his acting skills are the same It is of the level of film emperor, and personal acting can't be fake.

However, the Lawrence Sports Award is different, especially for issues involving illegal drugs. If a Lawrence winner is exposed to use illegal drugs, it means that his achievements are also false. Choosing an athlete with a false score to become the winner will obviously directly affect the authority of the Lawrence Sports Award, and authority is precisely the basis of the survival of the Lawrence Award. This is like if the research of a Nobel Prize winner is copied, the authority of the entire Nobel Prize will be questioned.

So far, Phelps has not been implicated in this doping scandal, but what about in the future? Do the doping scandals continue to be investigated? One big player after another is being used for illegal drugs, and no one knows if the next person found is Phelps. What's more, the use of stimulants is even a tradition for Americans.

Although the members of the award committee have accepted various public relations, everyone’s attitude is very clear on this kind of matter. Compared to Phelps, Zhang Guan, which has no negative news, chooses The Lawrence Sports Award is obviously safer.

In the end, as a result of the vote, Phelps didn't even get a vote, but Zhang Guan was approved by the judges.

Hotel suite.

"How about I wear this dress for the Lawrence Awards?" Sharapova wore a gown and turned around in front of Zhang Guan.

This is a khaki sleeveless dress with no collar, just a semi-curved neckline is designed just along the next ring of the collarbone, the shoulders look a little tight, and the waist is in the middle. The pleated skirt under the dress just above the knee, flowing out of the smooth calf.

But Zhang Guan always feels that Sharapova looks a little strong in this body.

"You look beautiful~ IndoMTL.com~ dear." Zhang Guan instantly became sweet talk. Sure enough, Sharapova felt very happy after listening.

"Right, are we going to enter the field together tomorrow?" Sharapova asked.

"Okay, I have no problem. But will you be in trouble there?" Zhang Guan said hesitantly.

"I'm fine. For public events, the media won't think much about it." Sharapova sat next to Zhang Guan, leaned back in his arms, and then said: "If you win an award, the trophy will Be mine!"

"Then if you won an award? Trophy" Zhang Guan asked with a smile.

"The trophy is still mine!" Sharapova leaned upward, and the two became tired together. (To be continued.)
