Almighty Athlete Chapter 27: Enlighten silently
The 10th National Games, 42 major events and 357 minor events. The 46 national teams in the country have accumulated nearly 10,000 participants. Although they are not comparable to the Olympic Games in scale, they have definitely reached the level of the Asian Games. In some strong events, such as table tennis, badminton, diving, weightlifting, etc., the competition is much fiercer than the Olympics, and the level of excitement exceeds the level of the Olympics.
Preliminaries will be held in advance for each event. This preliminary competition is not a qualifier, but a real preliminary competition. Only athletes who pass the preliminary competition can participate in the regular competition held in January. As for the preliminaries of the 10th National Games, the main basis is the athletes’ points in the past year. As long as the points are up to the standard, they can participate in the preliminaries of the 10th National Games.
Zhang Guan participated in two national track and field championships last year, and both won the 100-meter sprint championship. The points are enough to participate in the 10th National Games. However, on the 2oomi and 4oomi projects, Zhang Guan has not participated in the official competition, so it cannot participate in the preliminaries.
The preliminaries for track and field were held on June 2o. There are many preliminaries that have already ended in the first few months, such as table tennis, diving, weightlifting, judo, etc. There are also some preliminaries for the next event. In the three months.
In the preliminary qualities of the 10th National Games, the athletes’ level was relatively low, even lower than that of the National Grand Prix. Zhang Guan right should be practiced by himself, and he could not work out 30 meters before the finish line, but even so, the result of 1o.19 seconds also successfully won the championship.
In the United Kingdom, Sharapova defeated Jankovic in the Birmingham Classic and won the championship. It looks good on the grass, but in Wimbledon, Sharapova lost to Great Williams, stop the semifinals. In Wimbledon last year, Sharapova defeated Williams to win the championship, and this year, Williams revenge for his sister.
Next, Sharapova prepares for the US Open. And in early August, she participated in several open tournaments in the United States and Canada. Before that, she decided to stay in Europe for a few days because this year's IAAF Golden League is about to start. Zhang Guan will come to participate.
The IAAF Golden League is formed by the integration of several different events scattered in Europe. It began in 1998. The top eight of each event in each match will receive a prize, and each station will remain undefeated. Athletes will receive a special prize. At the beginning of this special grand prize was 5o kilograms of pure gold bullion. Therefore, this event is called the Golden League.
Since 2oo3 years, the IAAF has reformed this competition. The number of Monte Carlo stations has been reduced, and the competition has changed from the original seven stations to six stations. The special prize has 5o kilograms of gold and has been valued at US$10 million. As long as you win a single championship in five of them, you can split up $50 million, and you can get another 50 million in a total of six races. For example, there are two 5-time champions and a six-time champion appearing at the same time, then these three people will average the first 50 million bonus. The remaining $50 million will be won by the six-time champion alone. If there are two six-time champions, there will be one more person participating in the distribution.
The setting of the Golden League competition items is also different from many athletics grand prix, not all athletics events can participate in the Golden League. In the 2oo5 Golden League, men’s official competition items are 1oo meters, 8oo meters, 15oo meters, 5ooo meters, 11o meters hurdles, high jumps and javelins. Others such as 2oo meters, 4oo meters, obstacle games, long jumps, shot puts, etc. It is included in the competition; while the women's side only has five items: 1oo meters, 8oo meters, 5ooo meters, 4oo meters hurdles and triple jump.
The first stop of the IAAF Golden League this year is held in Paris, France. Because there will be a series of events before the game, athletes will arrive in Paris three or five days in advance.
On the plane that flies to Paris, Zhang Guan holds a sports magazine in his hand. A large part of this issue is about the recently concluded Wimbledon. Among them was the introduction of Sharapova's game, which made Zhang Guan fascinated.
Liu Feiren and Feiren seemed nervous and excited. He felt that Zhang Guan was staring at the photos of Sharapova in the magazine, and he felt a little more irritable.
Liu Feiren pushed Zhang Guan. He said, "You don't seem to be nervous at all!"
"Nervous? Do you feel nervous?" Zhang Guan glanced at the photos in the magazine again before closing the magazine reluctantly.
"Of course I am nervous. This is the Golden League! Although I have participated in the IAAF Grand Prix before, I have never participated in the Golden League." Liu Feiren said.
Zhang Guan smiled and said: "I think you have so much more experience than me, and it must be calmer than me."
"You don't understand, a few years ago. I was looking forward to being able to participate in the Golden League, 5o kilograms of gold! What a big piece!" Liu Xiang paused, then said: "In fact, it was quite simple , I feel that one day I can meet Alan Johnson, and then ask him to sign a name, it is already very satisfying."
"I never thought I would beat Alan Johnson one day, right?" Zhang Guan asked.
Liu Feiren nodded, but then shook his head again, and then said: "The former idol was Alan Johnson, dreaming of becoming the world’s first, but when he grows up, he knows that the dream is far away, and feels that he can enter the national team. Not bad; when I first entered the national team, I felt like being the first in the country; later became a national champion and wanted to be an Asian champion; when I became an Asian champion and wanted to break the world record; then I hope to be able to enter the Olympic finals. You are in After I won the Olympic Games, I remembered the impact on the Olympic champion. Now, I really want to break the world record! After a circle and when I was a child, I dreamed of becoming the world's first."
"Don't worry, it is estimated that you will soon break the world record, and the next year will be the latest!" Zhang Guan said.
"What about you? Who was your former idol?" Liu Feiren suddenly asked.
"Dao Yao, there is still" Zhang Guan voice paused, pointed to Liu Feiren, and then said: "And you!"
"Me?" Liu Feiren suddenly laughed, but there was a trace of self-deprecation in the smile.
Zhang Guan straightened up, as if recalling something, and then said, "At that time, in high school, the school was closed, and every evening self-study was very late, and it was almost 11 o'clock when I washed and went to bed. Okay, at that time, the study tasks were tight and there were no entertainment activities. After going to bed every day, I just listened to the 11 o’clock news. I remember that the news broadcast seemed to say that it was an IAAF Grand Prix. You broke it all at once. With the world youth record and Asian record, it happens that the female monitor of our class has the same name as you, so since then, I have remembered your name."
"That was in Lausanne, Switzerland! I ran for 13 seconds and 12 years, and it took three years to count, and now I think about it as if it was yesterday." Liu Feiren's sigh sighed, and fell into a short time. In memory.
Zhang Guan went on to say: "You should have been to sports school since you were a child! Almost all athletes in our country are like this. You know, I am not the same. When I was young, I was like ordinary people. I went to elementary school, junior high school, Going to high school, the only dream at that time was to enter the university! The previous grades will not be too high, but in high school, the grades are not good. It seems that I have worked hard to learn, but I can’t get good grades. , So I went to practice sports, and the score of the specialty students going to college will be relatively low. Later I participated in the test of the national second-level athletes, and was selected by Chen Lao, and then"
Zhang Guan thinks of his system. If there is no system, he may lie in his whole life. So he went on: "Then I have a dream!"
Liu Feiren has been listening quietly, but now Zhang Guan suddenly stopped talking and could not help asking: "What dream? National champion? Asian champion? Or world champion? Or like me, all of these?"
Zhang Guan still smiled, did not answer positively, but said: "No matter what dreams, it may be realized one by one, maybe it will be farther and farther, but at least on the path of chasing dreams, I have worked hard. And we are very lucky that we have realized our dreams. Although more people have moved forward and worked hard, they have not even touched the edge of their dreams"
Liu Feiren stunned for a moment, thought about what Zhang Guan said, and then nodded more seriously: "You are right, we are lucky, there are too many athletes, they work hard, but they Not successful."
"So, sometimes I think about it seriously, I think it's quite satisfying." Zhang Guan said.
"Satisfied? Satisfied that you still practice 2oo meters?" Liu Feiren said. These days, Zhang Guan is practicing corners, but Liu Feiren sees it all.
"I said "satisfaction" is not about being in the status quo, but grateful for the harvest." Zhang Guan thought about it and explained: "For example, if I have a normal car now, then I think how The car is my dream, I will continue to work hard to buy a luxury car, but in the process of this effort, I will not feel that my car is bad, every time I drive out, I will still be very happy, I will feel very satisfied, I would think that although the average car is not as luxurious as a luxury car, at least I have a car family~IndoMTL.com~ You are really optimistic!" Liu Feiren suddenly laughed after listening to the analogy of Zhang Guan .
"I think you want to say that I am the Ah Q spirit." Zhang Guan went on to say: "Life, you have to live with laughter and crying, so is it better to be optimistic. And we are athletes As we grow older, we will encounter ups and downs with injuries and illnesses. When we are champions, countless people will tout us, but when we fail, we will be subject to various doubts. Condemnation, grace, and even taking a wife may not make you happy. So, be optimistic and stop crying.
"What a mess!" Liu Feiren slapped it on the shoulder of Zhang Guan: "It's always said'we' in the front, how come I got married to my wife, and it's just that it won't make me happy? Why not mention yourself."
Zhang Guan smiled self-deprecatingly. He could not reveal the future to Liu Feiren. He only hoped that at some point in the future, Liu Feiren would remember his words and go on optimistically. (To be continued.)
