Chapter 109 - Five consecutive indoor crowns

"On February 15th, the IAAF Stockholm Indoor Track and Field Competition was held in Stockholm, Sweden. Chinese player Zhang Guan won the indoor 60-meter event with a score of 6.45 seconds. This is the third indoor championship he won this year."

"Let's turn our attention to the track and field. Yesterday, the Birmingham Indoor Athletics Grand Prix ended in Birmingham, England. Zhang Guan won another gold medal in the indoor 60-meter sprint..."

"In August last year, Zhang Guan broke the world record of the men's 100-meter sprint at the Athens Olympics and won the Olympic title. On February 20, Zhang Guan came to Athens, Greece again to participate in the IAAF Athens Indoor Track and Field. Although Zhang Guan did not break the world record again this time, he still won the indoor 60-meter event with a score of 6.50 seconds."

"Good news came again on the track and field, Zhang Guan won the championship again in the IAAF Madrid indoor track and field competition that ended on the 24th!"

"Zhang Guan has won again! Zhang Guan won another gold medal in the just-concluded IAAF Lehman Indoor Track and Field Championships. From the end of January to the present, Zhang Guan has won seven championships in the month, broke the world record twice. "

...

From February 15th, Zhang Guan went to Sweden, England, Greece, Spain, and France successively, winning five indoor 60m championships. According to the IAAF competition plan, a total of 11 indoor competitions were held in 2005, including the Millrose Indoor Competition, Ghent Indoor Competition, Budapest Indoor Competition, and Karlsruhe Indoor Competition. Because of the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan did not participate in all of them, Zhang Guan won the championship in the remaining seven games, which can be said to sweep across Europe.

However, in the competition after the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan did not use the potion to improve his physical strength and condition. Naturally, he did not continue to break the world record of the 60-meter indoor sprint. The price of the potion is still very expensive, and the reward for indoor projects is Attenuated, Zhang Guan did not need to waste the potion in this place.

But seven indoor championships and two indoor world records still bring 11 skill points to Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan has never felt that skill points are so good. If it is not March or April, the IAAF does not have sprint related track and field events, Zhang Guan wants to continue to brush skills.

The champions of the seven indoor competitions have naturally carried out a series of indiscriminate bombardment reports in the domestic media, and the people have also been a little numb from the initial excitement, to the shock in the back, and later, as if Zhang Guan won the championship It is already a normal thing.

On February 28, Zhang Guan returned to China after finishing the indoor competition of Levan. In the following week, Zhang Guan was completely busy with all kinds of entertainment. Tian Xie organized a commendation conference for him, and then signed two huge endorsements, took three commercials and one public service advertisement, and participated in an interview with CCTV, he also participated in five commercial activities and a public welfare campaign for the National Day of Ears. He didn't forget to call Sharapova during the middle of the night every night because Sharapova is preparing to participate in the Pacific Life Insurance Cup Tennis Open in the United States, and the time difference between China and the United States which led Zhang Guan to only talk to Sharapova in the middle of the night.

In the second week, Zhang Guan returned to Xinzhuang training base, there are also many commercial activities, but Zhang Guan also slowly began to recover training, and then he will arrive in the SAR before the 14th, because on the 16th, this year's The Best Lawrence Champion Award will be announced in the SAR, and he has been awarded the award by default.

On the flight to the special zone, Zhang Guan leaned on his seat and slept. Liu Feiren, who was sitting next to Zhang Guan, always wanted to talk to someone, but after seeing Zhang Guan several times, he found that he was sleeping too well and was embarrassed to disturb him.

"Sleep is good enough. Yesterday after the training ended so early, I should have rested very early. How can I still look like this, it seems like I haven't slept all night. It is good to be young, sleep if you want to sleep." The trapeze sighed and then leaned on the back of the chair to listen to music.

Liu Feiren didn't know that Zhang Guan didn't sleep much in the second half of the night. In the second half of the night, Zhang Guan received a call from Sharapova, and he stayed up all night.

In the just-concluded Pacific Life Insurance Cup Indian Wells game, Sharapova reached the quarterfinals all the way but was washed by Davenport with two 6: 0. This is Sharapova's first career loss since her career. The most terrible loss. So all night, Sharapova kept complaining about the phone to Zhang Guan asking for sympathy and comfort. After Zhang Guan coaxed Sharapova, it was already dawn, and Sharapova was in a much better mood. After eating something to rest, Zhang Guan quickly packed his bags and prepared to go to the airport.

...

The predecessor of the Top Ten Lawrence Championship Award was the selection of Top Ten Athletes. The Top Ten Athletes began their first selection since 1979. And in 2004, I borrowed the name of the World Lawrence Sports Award and changed it to the Ten Best Lawrence Champion Award.

This award, Zhang Guan once entered the initial big list last year, but in the end, was not selected, and with the excellent performance of last year's Olympic Games and the first two months of this year, this year's top ten Lawrence championship award will have a place for Zhang Guan.

Unlike last year, this year's awards have been reformed. Last year's top ten Lawrence Awards are the same as the previous top ten athlete selection rules. Ten outstanding athletes were selected to win. This year's awards refer to the Lawrence Sports Award rules. A total of 10 different awards have been set, which are the best male and female athletes, the best male and female newcomers award, the best team award, the best coach award, the best breakthrough award, the best popularity award, the best Non-Olympic athlete award, best-disabled athlete award. Also, this year's award set up a lifetime achievement award.

This has been discussed before, the best male athlete award was not awarded to Zhang Guan, but Liu Feiren. As it was the first time to get on the podium, Zhang Guan won a Best New Man Award, and the Best Popularity Award was also won by Zhang Guan. This result made him very happy.

...

After the award was over, Zhang Guan turned on his phone, but saw a text message from Zhuge Wenbo, and asked Zhang Guan to call him back after the award.

Zhang Guan immediately hit up Zhuge Wenbo.

"The award is over? How is the result?" Zhuge Wenbo asked immediately.

"Best Newcomer Men Award and Best Popularity Award." Zhang Guan answered.

"Not bad." Zhuge Wenbo's voice paused, and then said, "Take a new advertisement for a car, big Ben."

"Large brand luxury car! Which car is it?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The new E240." Zhuge Wenbo went on to say, "I didn't want to take this one, because other car brands are talking about, there are imported joint ventures, and they have very good conditions. But today you get this award. It reminds me of one thing. The main sponsor of this year's Lawrence World Sports Awards is Dibben. This award was judged in May. I want to help you win the best newcomer this year. "

"Lawrence World Sports Awards, this is the highest award in the sports world. "Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, and then said, "It seems that the judges of this award do not like athletes in our country very much before in our country only Yao could get this award!"

"Yes, he got the newcomer award." Zhuge Wenbo said immediately, "The Nike company I contacted, they support you to win the award, but their voice is not enough. But the Dibben company is different. They are the main sponsors of this year, and if they are supported, the difficulty of winning the award will be much lower. So I think if you agree, then you should promise Daben's advertising. The advertising costs are good to discuss, but they need to be in the Lawrence Sports Award to support you."

"Yes. The gold content of this award is still very high. I think whether it is the Sports Federation or the Tian Association, it will support me!" Zhang Guan said.

...

The next day, Zhang Guan returned to Xinzhuang and continued on the road of training.

In March and April, there are no international track and field events, but the national series of national track and field championships began. The first two stations are still held in the southwestern provinces. No matter whether they are Zhang Guan or Liu Feiren are too far away to participate.

In May, there was an important event, the IAAF Osaka Grand Prix. Considering being held in Asia, the IAAF has also given more places to Asian athletes, so the national team has also qualified for the throwing event. This is the most important aspect of the national track and field team in the first half of today's events.

Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren are preparing for the Osaka Grand Prix, especially Liu Feiren. At the Osaka Athletics Grand Prix last year, he not only won the championship but also broke the Asian record of 110 meters hurdle, so he is also running.

...

On the track. Zhang Guan just ran across the corner and was stopped by Yu Gui.

"Stop! Stop! It's the same problem I just said, inside! Pay attention to running along the inside!" Yu Gui pointed at the marking of the runway and then said, "The runway looks very narrow, at least compared to the width of your feet the runway is very wide. As long as your feet are not out of the line, it is not a foul, so try to cut in as far as possible. You started the run just fine, but then you went to the middle again, especially when the curve became straight it's a bad place to run. Think about it again, summarize it, and try again."

Zhang Guan nodded and walked back to the starting line of 200 meters.

In the 200-meter sprint, athletes will try to get as close as possible to the inside. On the same track, running a lot less distance along the inner side will also save a lot of time. However, during the running process, athletes can't keep their heads down to proofread the inside of the runway markings, so running on the inside is also a trick that is more difficult to master in a curve.

The running curve looks simple, but, at the level of professional athletes, you need to master a lot of very complicated techniques, so many excellent athletes in the 100-meter sprint event cannot achieve good results at 200 meters, but 200 meters athletes specializing in meters are different. Their skills are more delicate, and they can handle even 100 meters.

Now Zhang Guan, after a long period of training, is only an entry-level in cornering skills.

In the eyes of the coach, Zhang Guan's cornering skills are still far away, but Zhang Guan doesn't think so. He is already not satisfied with 200 meters. He thinks that he can still try the 400-meter project.
