All-round Athlete

Chapter 41

On July 20, the Chinese sports delegation for the 28th Olympic Games was established.

The Chinese team registered 408 athletes, 117 coaches, 27 team leaders, 26 doctors, 27 translators, and 2 sparring partners. This is the largest delegation with the largest number of people in the history of the Chinese team participating in the Olympic Games.

At the same time, there are 226 officials in the delegation, including 31 from the regiment headquarters and 195 from various sports teams.

Chinese athletes have obtained qualifications for 26 of the 28 major events and 203 of the 301 minor events. The average age of the athletes in the whole team is 23.3 years old, and the oldest athlete is 44 years old. The youngest is the athlete 14 years old,

Since the next Olympic Games will be the capital Olympic Games, one of the most important tasks of this Olympic Games in Athens is to train athletes to prepare for the Olympic Games in the capital city. Therefore, among the 408 athletes, 225 athletes are participating in the Olympic Games for the first time. There are more than 300 athletes who have the opportunity to participate in the next Beijing Olympic Games.

In the next few days, Olympic athletes will participate in intensive training. The delegation also distributed a thick handbook to each athlete on the precautions for participating in the Athens Olympics, including the situation in Athens, local customs, and local customs. The laws and regulations, the discipline that athletes should abide by, the discipline of receiving foreign affairs, what to do when you are in trouble, how to ask if you get lost, etc., all the items are listed in great detail. It is estimated that it will take a lot of effort just to read this book.

The content of the training is also similar, similar to what is said in the manual, and there is a lot of talk in a short time. It is difficult for people with excellent memory to remember so many things in a short period of time, let alone most athletes are not good at learning. people.

Zhang Guan gained a lot during the training, and met many well-known athletes in the venue, such as Yao Daguo of the basketball team, national players of the table tennis team, elites of the diving team, and girls of the women's volleyball team...

These people Zhang Guan was familiar with appeared in front of him one by one, and many of them also knew Zhang Guan, the number one flying man in Asia, which made Zhang Guan feel a little flattered.

Ever since, during the break between classes or the buffet time after the meeting, you can always see a big man over 1.9 meters holding a camera, looking for people to take pictures everywhere, and even taking selfies.

If it is a few years later, taking selfies is a very normal thing, and people are also used to taking pictures of themselves or their friends when eating, drinking and having fun, sending them to WeChat, and posing in various poses with food plates has become acquired a skill. But in 2004, most people were not used to this way, so there were stiff and uncomfortable expressions in the camera.

Yao Juren watched Zhang Guan scurrying around looking for someone to take pictures, and he couldn't help laughing. He thought of many black players in the NBA, who seem to have this habit, and when black players take selfies, whether they are teammates or opponents, They will cooperate very well to make various poses and exaggerated expressions, but here, everyone is serious.

"Brother Yao, let's take a photo!" Zhang Guan ran up to the giant with a few strides, stretched his hand far away, and pressed the shutter.

After all, Zhang Guan was a big man of more than 1.9 meters, but he became a slut in front of Dayao, barely reaching Dayao's shoulder. Previously, Zhang Guan only felt that the giant was tall visually in the distance, but when he really stood in front of him, he could truly feel his own insignificance.

Just at this time, a small athlete just passed by, and it seemed that he had just come out of the Health Bureau. Zhang Guan recognized at a glance that he was the future boxing champion Zou Shiming.

Boxing King Zou is only 23 years old this year, but his appearance has not changed significantly compared with that of more than ten years later. He is a little mature, so Zhang Guan recognized him at a glance.

"Brother Zou, let's take a photo together." Zhang Guan took Boxing King Zou and took a photo with Giant Yao.

Boxing King Zou is 1.62 meters tall, Zhang Guan is 1.92 meters tall, and Giant Yao is 2.26 meters tall. There is a gap of 30 centimeters between them. It would be better if there is a selfie stick, but Zhang Guan takes a selfie with one hand. The whole face was photographed, only King Zou's hair and Juju Yao's neck were photographed.

A few years later, this photo appeared in a photo of a father-son reality show during the "Finding Dad" segment. Several cute children added together, but they couldn't find Boxing Zou in the photo. All they saw was Zhang Guan's A smile, a neck and a patch of black hair.

...

After the intensive training, Zhang Guan proposed to the instructor to continue learning English, so the track and field team found an assistant teacher from the English Department of the North Sports University to continue tutoring English for Zhang Guan.

Before going to Athens, there is another very important event in domestic track and field, which is the fifth race of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, which is also the China Open of Track and Field this year.

The level of the China Athletics Open is very high, and the prize money is very attractive, so this competition attracted more than 900 players from 39 national teams to participate.

Among the well-known domestic athletes, some athletes whose points are enough to participate in the 10th National Games next year did not participate, but there are still many big-name athletes, such as Liu Feiren in the 110-meter hurdles.

The men's 100-meter event is still the most competitive but also the least suspenseful event. The competition is fierce because there are many contestants and masters, but there is no suspense because Zhang Guan participated.

Compared with the fourth race half a month ago, Zhang Guan's competitive state has improved today, and the training plan formulated by Yu's guide is indeed very effective, which Zhang Guan can understand best.

But compared to the beginning of the year, Zhang Guan still feels much worse. Although his current competitive state cannot be said to be bad, it is still at a lower level than normal. If you go to the Olympics in this state, you will obviously not be able to win a medal.

In the preliminary round, Zhang Guan easily ran out of 10.21 seconds. This result instantly made other players feel desperate. For ordinary players, being able to run within 10.40 seconds can be regarded as a great success. In domestic competitions, it is possible to win the championship in 10.40 seconds.

In the rematch, Zhang Guan still continued the running method of the preliminary round and ran a time of 10.19 seconds; and in the semi-finals, Zhang Guan still managed 10.20 seconds.

Zhang Guan has been using the first three games to adjust his state. In the previous games, Zhang Guan was struggling to run, which was more reflected in the lack of control over his body, so Zhang Guan has been trying hard to control his body. Control the speed. With the progress of the game, Zhang Guan's body control is also improving, and his competitive state is gradually recovering.

Finally, it was the final again, and Zhang Guan also decided to attack the Asian record again.

Those who can enter the final are domestic strong players. Although everyone knows that there is no hope of winning the first place with Zhang Guan, the final ranking is still worth fighting for. As the China Track and Field Open, the prize money is far higher than other domestic competitions It was much richer, and every step forward represented a richer bonus.

At the same time, the ranking in the Athletics Open can also get more annual points. The points can not only participate in the year-end finals of the National Athletics Grand Prix, but also participate in the Tenth National Games next year. The National Games is already the highest level event they may participate in.

After the starting gunshots sounded, Zhang Guan ran ahead in a thriving manner, while the seven athletes behind him competed extremely fiercely.

There were cheers one after another on the field, but basically there was no one cheering for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan ran ahead alone, and he was obviously sure to win the championship, so he had lost the point of view. Compared with the other seven people, they all overtook each other. The situation is more exciting to watch.

The more intense the competition from the people behind, the more deafening the shouts from the sidelines. Although Zhang Guan was running, he couldn't hear what was shouting from the sidelines at all, but he could still feel the tense atmosphere. Zhang Guan likes this atmosphere very much, the sense of urgency seems to call him constantly, wake up his cells, and make him feel excited!

excited! This is the competitive state that athletes should have in the game.

Zhang Guan felt that this feeling of excitement allowed him to vaguely find some state of the game, but it was far from enough. He could not feel the pressure of the opponent, and he could not feel the excitement that determined the outcome before crossing the line.

Then, Zhang Guan crossed the line!

Zhang Guan was very disappointed. He had just found a feeling of a competition, but the competition was over, as if a musician had just heard the most beautiful music in the world, but the sound stopped abruptly, and it was hard to find it again.

The moment he crossed the finish line, he looked back at the other athletes who were still struggling. At this moment, he suddenly envied them. At least they could experience the thrill of competition and real competitive sports! And I am just a lonely leader.

Zhang Guan suddenly discovered that perhaps in his bones, there has always been a soul hidden, a soul that belongs to an athlete.

"Break the Asian record in the men's 100-meter sprint, and reward 2 skill points."

When the system prompt appeared, Zhang Guan realized that he had once again broken the Asian record.

Ten seconds later, the scores of the athletes appeared on the electronic scoreboard. Zhang Guan, who ranked first, was unusually conspicuous because his score was one digit less than the others.

"9 seconds 98! Zhang Guan broke the Asian record again!" The announcer controlling the microphone shouted immediately, spreading the news inside and outside the stadium.

The entire stadium suddenly burst into applause and shouts.

Looking at this result, Zhang Guan, although he is still not very satisfied, but by breaking the Asian record and obtaining two skill points, it can be regarded as achieving his goal.

"There are seven skill points. Hurry up and complete the task." Zhang Guan opened the skill synthesis bar, spent 6 skill points, and combined the skills of physical fitness and skill fitness into the new skill of physical fitness. "

A golden icon appears in the skill box, followed by a note:

"Strengthen the body, increase the strength and endurance of the body, and improve the recovery speed and recovery level of tissue damage. Description: Growth skills, synthetic skills."
