At the end of July, the time for the Olympic Games to meet the standard has ended, and the registration for the Olympic Games is coming to an end. Zhang Guan obtained the qualifications for seven individual track and field events and the men’s tennis singles. w.lws520.c
As long as individual track and field events can meet the Olympic standards, they can register directly through the Olympic Games Organizing Committee. If the standard is not met, the IOC will consult with the IAAF to assess the specific situation.
Zhang Guan has reached the Olympic A standard on the men’s 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, long jump and triple jump, while the men’s 1500m is the Olympic B standard. Among them, men’s 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m, only Zhang Guan is in the national team, because only the Zhang Guan of the first five items has reached the Olympic A standard, and others only have reached the B standard, while the 1500m event only The Olympic B standard reached by Zhang Guan.
In the tennis singles event, the Olympic Games has a quota. There are 64 players each in the men’s and women’s singles events, 48 of which are allocated by the ATP World Rankings. The top of the world rankings announced on June 9th The 48 players can enter the Olympic Games directly, but each country has a maximum of four players, and the absences are extended in order according to the world ranking.
Among the other 16 places, two places are invited seats, often for some well-known contestants; the remaining 14 places belong to the International Networking Union, which can also be regarded as a backdoor place, quite So the wild card in the Grand Slam.
The ATP points are calculated based on the points earned in the past year. Zhang Guan won four Grand Slam titles in 2007, with a total of 8000 points, a Chinese Open champion with 500 points, and a year-end master The game gained another 1,000 points, with a total of 9,500 points. As of June 9, Zhang Guan missed this year's Australian Open and French Open, so it will be deducted 4000 points, but Zhang Guan still has 5500 points, this score is second only to Federer and Nadal, ranked in Germany Above Jokovic, ranked third in the world. Therefore, as long as Zhang Guan is registered, he will automatically qualify for the Olympic tennis.
As for the track and field 4x100m and basketball events, the registration is conducted in the name of the collective event of the participating country.
......
Zhang Guan didn’t notice that Sharapova’s voice on the other side of the phone was a little deep, and he was still a little bit excited. Flag bearer. I read the news a few days ago and you said that you might become a flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Russian team. Is that true?"
"I have decided to withdraw from the Olympics." Sharapova said suddenly.
"Withdraw from the Olympics? What happened? Because of the injury?" Zhang Guan asked several questions in a row.
"I did an MRI exam. My shoulder injury has been severe recently, and I may not be able to participate in the rest of the year." Sharapova said in frustration.
"It's so serious." Zhang Guan was silent for two seconds, and then said: "I'm sorry, Martha, I think I should be by your side at this time, but I have to participate in the Olympics..."
"I know that the direct Olympics will be of great significance to you. You should book a hotel for me. I will go to China to find you." Sharapova said with a smile: "I will cheer for you, I Dear champion."
......
In early August, the participants of the Olympic Games have been determined. Zhang Guan has once again become the focus of attention in the sports world.
"Zhang Guan is going to participate in eight athletics events? Is he crazy? No one has participated in so many events at the same time."
"Don’t forget Phelps in the United States, Phelps seems to have participated in eight swimming competitions."
“But Phelps’ participation includes 4x100m freestyle relay, 4x100m medley relay and 4x200m freestyle relay, all three are collective events, others Five items are individual items; in the case of Zhang Guan, there is only one item, and seven collective items."
"Even if the two people participated in the same number of events, Phelps will definitely win more gold medals than Zhang Guan in this Olympic Games. Phelps participated in eight events, maybe he will get eight Gold medals, Zhang Guan can get three or four at most! Even Zhang Guan has a good tone, seven individual events can win the championship, but the 4x100m sprint event, the United States, Britain and Jamaica are far stronger than China, Zhang Guan is It's impossible to win a championship, so Zhang Guan won at most seven gold medals."
"But Zhang Guan has also crossed major events, he also participated in tennis and basketball."
"Okay, even if you add a tennis ball, it is only eight gold medals, and because you have participated in so many matches at the same time, how can the schedule and personal energy come together!"
"Yes, track and field, tennis, basketball, a total of three major events and ten minor events, Zhang Guan's physical strength is definitely not enough! Maybe Zhang Guan can't even get a gold medal!"
"There are absolutely no athletes in the world who can participate in so many Olympic events at the same time, and they can all win awards, and Zhang Guan is impossible!"
......
For domestic sports audiences, they certainly hope that Zhang Guan can win more championships, but foreign audiences don’t think so. Western countries certainly don’t want China to rise. They can’t wait to see the Chinese team’s jokes, of course. I also don't like to see the Chinese team get more gold medals.
For Zhang Guan, he has a physical potion, so the biggest problem is not a physical problem, but a schedule problem.
In the schedule of the Olympics, the same event will basically not affect each other in the game time, but different major events may overlap in time. Zhang Guan will participate in multiple events at the same time. Faced with the problem of overlapping game times, Zhang Guan does not have avatar skills, and it is impossible to appear at the scene of two games at the same time.
However, the organizers of the Olympic Games also thought of this problem. They tried to give Zhang Guan certain care in the arrangement of the game time, and the General Administration of Sports also applied for the related logistics support for Zhang Guan.
Yiming Consulting’s meeting room.
"Athletics competitions are held at the National Athletics Center, and tennis competitions are held at the National Tennis Center. Both of these places are in the Olympic Park, but one is near the fourth ring road and the other is near the fifth ring road. , The Olympic green line that can’t take the subway can also go back and forth. But the venue of the basketball game is the Wukesong Stadium, which is a bit far from the Olympic Park. Even if there is no traffic jam, you have to walk for more than thirty minutes I can’t get there in the hour.” Zhuge Wenbo continued: “But you don’t have to worry, we borrowed a helicopter.”
"Helicopter? Such a big battle?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised, but then he remembered something and said: "Even if there is a helicopter, it will not be allowed to fly during the Olympics. The sky over the capital is not No-fly zone?"
"It is a no-fly zone, but others have a certificate." Zhuge Wenbo went on to say: "It is a CCTV relay helicopter. It can fly over the capital during the Olympics. They are willing to lend us, of course, they are also for To the first-hand interview. So when the helicopter is really available, you will also cooperate with the interview."
"Okay, I know." Zhang Guan nodded.
In large cities like the capital, not to mention helicopters, even the Boeing 747 can be found, but it is difficult to find helicopters that can fly over the capital during the Olympics. CCTV is responsible for the broadcast of the entire Olympics. Of course, it will be equipped with the most advanced equipment, including broadcast helicopters; and Zhang Guan, as the busiest athlete during the Olympics, how precious time is, even if CCTV wants to interview him, it is not easy of. Therefore, between Zhang Guan and Central Power, it can be regarded as each need.

At 20 o'clock on the evening of August 8, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was solemnly held in the National Stadium. The National Stadium under the night lights were brilliant and colorful. The stadium, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, was full of people and excited.
2008 actors sang their songs and tens of thousands of fireworks bloomed in the sky above the card. The entire stadium was like a blooming flower. The Olympic rings appeared, the national flag entered, and after the national flag was raised and the national anthem was sung, a cultural performance began. . Whether cultural performances can be read or not, it is very lively anyway, until 21:10, the entrance ceremony for athletes finally began.
The first entry was the Greek team, the birthplace of the Olympics, and then delegations from other countries and regions entered the site in the order of simplified Chinese character strokes. It has lasted for two hours. After the 203 countries and regions have arrived, the host national team will finally enter the stadium.
Zhang Guan was wearing a yellow shirt, a red suit on the outside, and white pants and white leather shoes on his lower body. He raised the national flag and walked into the stadium. The scene immediately remembered roaring applause and shouts!
"This is the Olympics, our own Olympics!" Zhang Guan's eyes can't help but get a little wet~IndoMTL.com~ He immediately closed his eyes, letting the originally excited inner efforts calm down.
The countless flashing lights around them seem to be starry, and the lights in the stadium are becoming brighter at this moment. The national flag is flying in the air, and the ray of red has become the most beautiful color in the world at this moment.
"This is the Olympics hosted by our own country, this is our own Olympics." Zhang Guan held the flagpole tightly and listened carefully to the cheers surrounding the audience. He could feel the enthusiasm of everyone and the audience. Expectation.
"After four years, I returned to the Olympics." Zhang Guan took a deep breath and sighed softly: "The Olympics, I'm here!" (To be continued.)
