Almighty Athlete Chapter 98: A well-deserved king of sprinting
"The new 400-meter world record? Someone in this world can really break the 400-meter world record!" The scene was completely crazy.
The legendary American sprinter Michael Johnson, who has been undefeated for 400 meters in seven consecutive years The world record that is the most difficult to break in the project is also hailed as a world record belonging to the 21st century. No one can break it in 50 years.
Since Johnson retired, there have been many strong men in the 400-meter run, but he has not challenged the 400-meter world record left by Johnson. Not because athletes don't want to, but because they simply don't have that qualification. How can a group of athletes who can't even reach within 44 seconds be qualified to challenge the world record of 18 seconds?
Until the advent of Zhang Guan, in the Golden League Oslo station, the score of 99 seconds reached the 44-second mark, and in the next Golden League, Zhang Guan also constantly refreshed its best results. But even if Zhang Guan made a 400m score that could be ranked tenth in history not long ago, no one thought that Zhang Guan would break the 400m world record.
The world record of 18 seconds is really difficult!
Zhang Guan has overcome this difficulty today. He improved the world record of 400 meters by 02 seconds. This sudden result of 16 seconds made people feel a little caught by surprise. There was no sign before. Everyone has no idea. Prepare for it, Zhang Guan broke this world record.
In the eyes of professional athletes, Zhang Guan has broken the world record of 400-meter sprint, which is more meaningful than he ran into the 70-second mark in the 100-meter sprint event. Zhang Guan was originally a 100-meter world record holder. He has also broken the 100-meter world record many times. It is a matter of course for the world record holder to break the world record he holds. On the 400-meter project, Zhang Guan is not a world record holder. He broke the world record set by Michael Johnson, which means that he also stood at the pinnacle of the world in another project.
Rog, the president of the International Olympic Committee, is of course one of the professional sports people. He knows how difficult it is to break the 400-meter world record. He also knows this new 400-meter world record. For a 100-meter world For the champion, what a huge amount of gold!
His Royal Highness looked very excited, and the sprinting exercise was very easy to provoke male hormones. He only heard him say: "Within a day, no, it should be said that within a few hours, Zhang Guan broke. It’s a miracle to see the world records of two events, 68 seconds at 100 meters and 16 seconds at 400 meters. I believe history will remember this day! Remember this miracle belongs to Belgium!"
Behind Rogge, a Swiss assistant secretly glared at the Ang Chu. The Zhang Guan broke two world records, but was forcibly given the title of "Miracle of Belgium" by His Ang Chu. Although the place where the world record is broken is indeed in Belgium, the fact that the record can be broken is mainly due to the strength of the athletes. It does not seem to be directly related to where the game is played. When will breaking the world record have to pick Feng Shui?
But the VIP rooms are almost all Belgians. When they heard His Royal Highness Ang’s phrase “belonging to the miracle of Belgium”, they all nodded, even with Roger’s approval. .
Seeing this scene, the assistant sighed helplessly, his boss nodded in agreement, then it is regarded as a "Belgian miracle"!
In this Golden League, the broadcaster still invited Michael Johnson as a guest.
In the studio at this time, Michael Johnson's face was confused, and there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes. Obviously, it was a reality that the 400-meter world record was broken.
Michael Johnson, the former 400-meter world record holder, of course knows how difficult it is to break the 400-meter world record. For Michael Johnson, the 400-meter world record is the biggest achievement in his sports career and is also The most worthy of bragging.
But today, Michael Johnson witnessed his world record being broken. It felt like he had raised a child for many years and was suddenly taken away by others. The kind of sourness in his heart made Michael Johnson miss it. There was a cry, but this is a studio, not only has a lot of staff, but also the audience in Europe in front of the TV. Therefore, Mike Johnson can only endure, every minute and every second at this time is extremely tormenting for this once flying man.
The host on the other side looked at Johnson helplessly and thought to himself: "Probably this world record came too abruptly. Johnson was hard to accept for a while! After all, 400 meters was his strongest point. ."
At this moment, the host’s headset heard the voice of the director: "Michael seems to need some time to adjust himself. I will cut the lens for you. You will speak for yourself."
The host had to say for himself: “It’s amazing, not long ago, in this venue, Zhang Guan broke the world-class record of men’s 100-meter sprint. The limit was pushed to within 70 seconds, and the 68-second new world record still makes it difficult for me to describe the shock in my heart with words! However, what I did not expect is that just two hours later, in the same piece The venue, Zhang Guan broke the world record of 400 meters!"
"The 400-meter sprint, as the most difficult item in all sprints, is also recognized as the world’s most difficult world record to break! The previous 400-meter sprint world record was maintained by Mr. Michael Johnson for 18 seconds. Zhang Guan will This result improved by 02 seconds, oh, again by 02 seconds. In the 100-meter sprint event, Zhang Guan also improved the world record by 02 seconds. This is a wonderful coincidence!"
"To tell the truth, in all the track and field world records, I always thought that the 400-meter world record is the most unlikely to be broken. If someone tells me that the 400-meter world record is broken, I will definitely think this is a fool The joke of the festival. Not long ago, when I saw the results of Zhang Guan16, my first reaction was that someone could actually break the world record of 400 meters! Zhang Guan, he is well-deserved king of the world sprint! I need we can say He is the greatest sprinter in history!"
The final award ceremony in Brussels was clearly another highlight of the media chase. Before the game, the organizer specially approved an award ceremony for athletes who could break the world record in Brussels. Since there is only one Zhang Guan The athletes broke the world record at Brussels Station, so this special award ceremony became the stage for Zhang Guan.
According to the officially announced process before the competition, the Belgian Olympic Committee President will award a special prize of 100,000 Euros to Zhang Guan. The Mayor of Brussels will also issue Zhang Guan with an honorary citizenship certificate and city key, but when the award ceremony begins However, the situation has changed. The President of the Belgian Olympic Committee and the Mayor of Brussels all stood by because the Belgian Crown Prince Ang appeared in front of the podium and presented a special prize of 100,000 euros for the Zhang Guan and the honorary citizenship certificate and city of Brussels key.
His Royal Highness Prince Ang presented the prize for Zhang Guan in person, the meaning behind this is completely different. After two brutal world wars, there are few European royal families left. Although many royal families in Europe have no real power, their main role is to represent the image of the country, but at the same time, the royal family is also a spiritual yearning for the people. The honor of a country's Ang Chu personally awarding the prize, but it can't be bought with money.
The hardworking editor Gao Jie has learned this time. He knows that today is the IAAF Golden League Brussels race. Zhang Guan is going to participate in two other projects, so he simply waits in the office.
Sure enough, in the early morning, Gao Jie received the news that Zhang Guan won the men's 100-meter sprint and broke the world record with 68 seconds, becoming the first person to run into the 70-second mark. This news is extremely newsworthy. For a person engaged in the news industry, this level of news must be given a full version.
After finishing the new edition, Gao Jie still did not leave. He was waiting for the news of the 400m race. As expected, he waited until Zhang Guan broke the world record and won the championship in the 400m race.
The relevant news content and pictures were quickly transferred to Gao Jie's e-mail box. While scheduling, he lamented the two world records that Zhang Guan had just won.
Gao Jie is not an editor with a professional background in sports. He doesn’t know much about track and field, but when he saw the manuscript sent to him by reporters, he realized that the gold content of the 400-meter world record was so large.
After being busy with this, Gao Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he left the office and walked to the parking lot to prepare for his home.
The tired-looking Gao Jie opened the car door, turned into the car in a hurry, and rang his phone before he could start the car.
Gao Jie's heart suddenly tightened: "Is it going to be revised again? Zhang Guan won the championship again? Impossible, Zhang Guan only participated in two events. These 100 meters and 400 meters have been finished, and Zhang Guan took two. The champion, broke two world records, there should be no problem!"
Gao Jie was vomiting while answering the phone with frustration: "I am Gao Jie, yes, I haven’t left yet, I just got on the bus and it’s in the parking lot! Is it going to be revised? Or is it Zhang Guan? Well, the two champions of 100 meters and 400 meters, the two world records, the manuscripts are already ranked, and there are two full pages! There is also a focus on the award ceremony? What is a good report on the award ceremony! What? Belgium? Ang Chu personally awards Zhang Guan!"
Gao Jie hung up the phone, looked out of the car window, and muttered to himself: "Ang Chu, isn't that the crown prince? The Belgian crown prince personally awarded the Zhang Guan an award. The world is unique!"
For ordinary people in China, the word "ang Chu" is extremely lethal. Even if many people don't know where Belgium is in Europe, but since it bears the title of "ang Chu", everyone generally thinks it is a very amazing thing.
Professional sports journalists will definitely report on Zhang Guan’s breaking two world records in a day, and list various data to prove how great the Zhang Guan world records are, but the official public opinion guide would like to report more Ang Chu awards things. The two world records are only two numbers in the eyes of people who do not understand sports, but the award of the Ang Chu is a very face-saving thing, so in this way, it is of course better to refresh the face in Europe than to refresh the two. The number is more important.
The family house where Zhang Guan lived was a firecracker sound in the early morning. People passing by heard the sound of firecrackers and knew that Zhang Guan won the championship again. The boss of the small newsstand not far away is full of happy smiles. Whenever Zhang Guan wins the world championship, his newspaper sales will always be several percent higher.
"Lao Wang, Zhang Guan has won the championship again? To be honest, I won't be interested in winning the championship anymore." A passerby who was familiar with the stop boss asked.
"Not only the champion, but also broke the world record!" Bao Zhanwang boss hummed and said: "The world record of 400 meters! Even the crown prince of Belgium gave Zhang Guan an award!"
"Oh! Such a great! Grand Prince of Belgium! Then give me a newspaper." The passer-by threw the money to the boss.
Yangdian once again demonstrated its extremely high work efficiency. In the 7 o’clock morning news, a 400-meter sprint documentary has been made. Although the documentary is only a dozen minutes, it has introduced this in detail. The development of the 400-meter sprint over the past few decades has made the people understand the project and let everyone know how difficult it is to break the 400-meter sprint to the world record.
Qia Automobile Company.
Minister Kim was on the phone with a terrified expression on his face, because the other side of the phone was talking to the company's senior director Cui, who was the company's executive director, and his position was far above his minister.
Director Cui who only listened to the other end of the phone said: "Minister Jin, the advertisement that Zhang Guan made for us last time, I am still very satisfied. But I think the two versions you sent are somewhat different in time. That’s right. One is the 15-second version and the other is the 30-second version, which are too short."
"I get it! I will send someone to contact the advertising company immediately~IndoMTL.com~ to make a 1-minute version." Minister Jin said.
"Add a 45-second version and a longer 90-second version." Director Cui directly instructed.
"Yes. But for 90-second advertisements, we may spend more on the investment of advertising costs." Minister Jin continued: "The production cost is only one of them. The key is that the time we buy from TV stations will be Growth, which leads to an increase in the cost of publicity."
“You don’t have to worry about funding! Zhang Guan has just broken the world record of 400 meters. He is now the focus of the world. We have to use this opportunity to increase investment in publicity. We sign Zhang Guan, as a spokesperson, has already spent a lot of money. The company's finance has used the future publicity budget. It can be said that in the next five years, we are unlikely to have the budget to sign other big-name stars, so we must be good. Use every achievement of Zhang Guan to promote our brand." Director Cui said.
Overwhelming domestic reports, while in Belgium, Zhang Guan is staying in the embassy and receiving professional foreign affairs training. (To be continued.
