A new world record was born!
This is Zhang Guan's first world record in China!
The atmosphere in the venue could not be described by words. Countless spectators had shouted out their throats and continued to roar.
Zhang Guan slowly closed his eyes, and he felt everything around him seriously. There were pictures one after another in his mind, the Athens Olympic Games finals, Yokohama All-Star Game, IAAF Super Grand Prix, Golden League... Every game he participated in, he had won and hear the cheers from the audience, but never once did it give him such a special feeling like today.
This atmosphere is more than congratulating him on breaking the world record, it is more like a kind of affectionate confession, an oath with dignity, which touched Zhang Guan's heart and made him feel the resonance!
Zhang Guan opened his eyes, and the stand had turned into a red sea. It was a national flag, turning into the most beautiful elf, laughing with applause and dancing with shouts.
At this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly realized that the glory of the world record did not belong to him alone, but to everyone who encouraged him and supported him...
And this world record is the unique gift that Zhang Guan gave them!
...
Next, Zhang Guan stood next to the large chronograph board showing 9.72 seconds, posed, smiling, and greeted countless flash baptisms, followed by the award ceremony.
As Yu Gui said before, there is no gold medal in the Track and Field Golden Grand Prix. The winner's reward is a bar of pure gold to create a golden dragon. This golden dragon is very exquisite in workmanship and is suitable for gifts or collections, but the gold medal is much better.
As a reward for breaking the world record, Zhang Guan also received a one-carat diamond pendant. The diamond pendant was in the perfect condition set for Isinbayeva, but Isinbayeva was obviously not prepared to impact her world record of 5.02 meters at the Golden Grand Prix, and finally only picked out 4.65 meters.
But now the diamond pendant is in Zhang Guan's hands. For the organizers, it is better than that for Isinbayeva. National athletes winning the final diamond pendant award is more meaningful than foreigners.
Zhang Guan had just stepped off the podium and had not yet reached the runway area. The surrounding reporters had already stopped the staff and rushed to Zhang Guan. The on-site security guards wanted to disperse, but there were too many reporters coming around. The security guard had no choice at all.
"Zhang Guan, say a few words!" A reporter shouted.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Guan, say a few words!" Someone agreed immediately.
The reporter made a lot of noises and made Zhang Guan very big. He knows this situation. If he doesn't say a few words, I'm afraid he can't go out.
"Thank you all, thank you for your concern! I am very excited and excited to be able to break the world record here in this first Golden Grand Prix." Zhang Guan said.
"Did you think you could break the world record before the game?" Someone shouted immediately.
"As an athlete, I have to fight hard in every game and sprint towards higher, faster, and stronger goals, so I will be ready to surpass myself in every game!" Zhang Guan continued.
"Breaking the world record, a reward of one hundred thousand dollars, how are you going to spend it!" Another reporter asked gossip.
Zhang Guan thought about it, he wanted to answer something that he hadn't thought about yet, but he changed his mind when he spoke, "At the beginning of this month, our country's southeastern coast was affected by typhoon 13, I think there are still many people who were affected by the disaster and is still homeless, so I plan to donate the prize money of this competition to those who were affected by the typhoon."
In a few words, the style instantly increased several grades, and the reporters around did not respond for a while. How to say things about the game is good. The topic suddenly went up to the typhoon. This span is too big!
Finally, a female reporter suddenly asked, "Zhang Guan, do you have a girlfriend?"
All the reporters immediately stared at Zhang Guan with wide eyes, waiting for his answer. This question seems very untimely to ask on this occasion, but it is indeed a topic that reporters are very concerned about.
"Oh, I have answered three questions, there will be a press conference in a while, let talk at the press conference! Now there should be many reporters and friends waiting in the press conference hall and we will arrive soon. At the press conference, let's talk slowly..." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
The reporters at the scene were still very qualified. Zhang Guan answered the three questions, which was considered to be an explanation for everyone, so the reporters gave way to Zhang Guan, and then hurried to the press conference.
...
A men's 100m world record is enough to win the fame of the Golden Grand Prix, and there will surely be more and better athletes to participate in this event next year.
The next day after the Golden Track and Field Grand Prix, Zhang Guan flew back to Beijing, and Sharapova had arrived in Beijing a day ago and checked into the Shangri-La Hotel provided by the organizer of China Open.
There were four Grand Slam contestants participating in the China Open Women's Project. They were the Williams sisters, Davenport and Sharapova. Among them, the beautiful Sharapova was most popular among the media. The organizer of the competition also held a media meeting for Sharapova.
The questions from the first few media are very regular, such as the goal of this competition, looking forward to the opponent, how do you feel about China, and the situation of the injury the other day. This kind of question Sharapova has answered dozens of times so it was easy to answer.
"We all know that you have the habit of roaring in the game. Many of our viewers feel that this does not match the image you being a beautiful girl. I wonder if you have considered changing this habit?" A reporter asked this problem. Although this is related to the game, it is a relatively personal issue.
After the translator communicated the problem to Sharapova, she said, "I have never considered this problem and I am not going to fix it."
At this time, a reporter raised his hand and asked, "Ms. Sharapova, do you know Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren?"
The translator told Sharapova this question, Sharapova was stunned for a while, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
"I don't know Liu Feiren." Sharapova continued, "But I know Zhang Guan. At the previous Lawrence Awards Ceremony in Portugal, we also walked through the red carpet together."
"Then did you invite Zhang Guan to watch the game of China Open?" The reporter then asked.
"There are not many Chinese people I know. If he can come to see me play, I will feel very honored, but he should be in the game now." Sharapova replied quite well.
"You're right, Zhang Guan broke the world record for the 100-meter sprint again at the Golden Track and Field Grand Prix held yesterday." The reporter said immediately with excitement.
"How did he break the world record again..." Sharapova pouted secretly.
Next, another reporter asked about Sharapova's emotional release. As a beauty athlete, the European and American media often hyped some scandals between her and some male athletes. Use the reputation of borrowing Sharapova to praise themself.
Sharapova's complexion suddenly turned green. She hated such unfounded rumors. The media hype was just to increase sales. Another point is that she doesn't want Zhang Guan to be so worried.
The officials of the early match immediately prevented the reporter from continuing to ask questions in this regard.
...
In the hotel.
"Dingdong..." The doorbell sounded, followed by a man's voice, "room service!"
In the room, Sharapova walked to the door a little confused. She remembered that she didn't call room service, but the service in this hotel was intimate, such as the table filled with various sweets, which she liked.
"Maybe it's a snack!" Sharapova opened the door and then saw Zhang Guan standing with a smile on the door.
"Oh, God!" Sharapova didn't expect Zhang Guan to suddenly appear in front of her, and then she directly fell on Zhang Guan, and the two kissed together.
"My dear, I brought you a gift." Zhang Guan took out the diamond pendant.
"Oh..." The woman's natural lack of resistance to the diamond, Sharapova took it happily, and then said, "I never thought you would buy me a gift."
"This is not what I bought. I participated in the Athletics Gold Grand Prix yesterday. It was the first time, so the organizing committee prepared a diamond pendant. If a player can break the world record, this pendant becomes a prize for breaking the world record." Zhang Guan continued, "I just broke the world record again, so I got this pendant."
"So this pendant is unique in the world?" Sharapova said happily, Sharapova doesn't lack money, so the value of the gift is more important. The world record prize for the first gold track and field competition is the only one in the world. This is not only a symbol of honor for athletes but also contains a special commemorative value. This kind of thing is a testimony to the career and performance of an athlete, which has far exceeded the value of the item itself.
"Thank you for giving me such a precious gift," Sharapova said.
"Maria, to me, you are the most unique in the world." Zhang Guan's sweet words made Sharapova's head dizzy and their smiles became more charming.
"After the China Open, what arrangements do you have? Recently, I plan to take a vacation for a while to accompany you." Zhang Guan asked.
"Yes." Sharapova thought for a while and then said, "Let's go to Hong Kong! Disneyland has just opened there."
"Okay. No problem." Zhang Guan agreed to come down, and then thought of another thing, so he asked, "Should I look for an opportunity to visit your father?"
"If you don't have an appointment, let's have a meal together," Sharapova said.
"Oh, then do I need to prepare any gifts. In China, we need to prepare some gifts for the first meeting." Zhang Guan said as he took Sharapova into his arms.
Sharapova froze for a moment, then gently pushed him away, "We're just eating a meal together, to let you know each other, that's all."
Zhang Guan nodded helplessly, maybe it was because of the different cultures between the East and the West, or maybe he thought too much about this matter.
