All-round Athlete

Chapter 824 Restriction (seventh update)

The conditions offered by Harrington were so attractive that Zhang Guan almost agreed immediately.

The appearance fee of 300 million U.S. dollars belongs to Zhang Guan alone, and Klitschko must also have a considerable amount of appearance fee. And the bonus of 300 million US dollars will be distributed by Zhang Guan and Klitschko Jr. If the score is divided in half, Zhang Guan can earn 450 million U.S. dollars in this boxing match!

"450 million US dollars, the top of my advertising expenses for several years!" Zhang Guan sighed silently in his heart, but he was not dazzled by the money, but asked: "Mr. Harrington, can you tell me Me, why did you find me? I am not a professional boxer, but there are many powerful boxers around the world, why not find them?"

"In addition to strength, what we value more is the reputation of the boxer." Harrington continued: "You are undoubtedly the most famous athlete in the world, and Mr. Wladimir Klitschko won this year's On July 2, he was just crowned the title of WBC Super Boxing Champion, and he also became the only super boxing champion among active athletes. To be honest, Mr. Klitschko’s fame should have reached its peak. At this time, he can If we play a match with you, it will bring out the greatest commercial value."

"Klitschko agreed?" Zhang Guan then asked.

Harrington nodded: "We will also pay Mr. Klitschko a large appearance fee, so Mr. Klitschko did not refuse!"

Zhang Guan can engage in many sports, and there are many ways to get money, but Klitschko is different. Klitschko can only fight boxing, and he can only play two or three games a year. He counts on the appearance fee to make a living . If Las Vegas offers an appearance fee of hundreds of millions of dollars, Klitschko Jr. will definitely not refuse.

"Then when are you going to set the game time? And the game location, where are you going to arrange it?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"The venue of the competition is of course Las Vegas in the United States, among our resort hotels under the InterContinental Hotels Group. As for the time of the competition, we tentatively set it on January 1 next year. We are preparing to create a new year's battle!" Harrington spoke.

"Give me a few days to think about it, and I'll take a look at my itinerary first." Zhang Guan still didn't immediately agree.

Harrington was not surprised. He stood up and prepared to leave. At the same time, he said: "Mr. Zhang Guan, I will stay in China and wait for your reply. If you have any other special requirements, you may as well ask them. Our InterContinental The hotel group and the Gaming Group in Las Vegas will definitely help you as much as possible."

After sending Harrington away, Zhang Guan couldn't wait to call boxing champion Lewis. The appearance fee of 300 million US dollars can be earned in just one boxing match. In addition, there is a large bonus, so easy to make money How could Zhang Guan let go of this opportunity!

"It should be early morning in the UK right now. Forget it, wait and call Lewis after dawn in the UK." Zhang Guangang was about to put away the phone, but the phone vibrated by itself.

"Director Ma called?" Zhang Guan answered immediately.

"Director Ma, I'm Zhang Guan! Long time no see, have you been doing well recently?" Zhang Guan asked with a smile.

"There's trouble, it's still big trouble!" Director Ma straight to the point, he continued: "If you have time, come to my place now!"

...

Zhang Guan came to the field management center and met Director Ma, but found that Director Ma looked solemn.

"What happened?" Zhang Guan asked.

"A very unfavorable piece of news, which is very unfavorable for you and us, is about the London Olympics." Director Ma continued: "The IAAF headquarters in Monaco has just received news that they will register for the London Olympics Eligibility has been modified."

"It's raising the standard! I've heard about this for a long time. But no matter how high he raises it, it has nothing to do with me. The world record belongs to me. If I don't meet the standard, then no one in the world can reach the standard It is." Zhang Guan said.

The entry standards for the Olympic track and field events will be improved every two sessions. The 2008 Olympics followed the 2004 Athens Olympics entry standards, and the 2012 entry standards will be improved on the original basis. This matter is very likely. There has been news from earlier.

Take the men's 100-meter event as an example. In the 2008 Olympic Games, the A standard was 10.21 seconds, and the B standard was 10.28 seconds. In the 2012 London Olympics, the A standard was raised to 10.18 seconds, the B standard was raised to 10.24 seconds, and the A standard was increased by 0.03 seconds. The B standard has increased by 0.04 seconds.

Although the improvement is only 0.03 seconds and 0.04 seconds, at the level of Olympic athletes, every 0.01 second improvement is very difficult. For a 0.01 second, athletes may have to work hard for several months or even a year.

Therefore, the improvement of the competition standards for the 2012 London Olympics will inevitably disqualify many athletes from participating in the Olympics. For those athletes who have just reached the Olympic B standard, their physical talents will definitely not be the top in the world. Perhaps for them, the original Olympic B standard of 10.28 seconds is already their limit level, but now it has been raised to 10.24 seconds. Unable to achieve this grade.

However, this increase in standards has no substantial impact on the world's top level athletes. Bolt, Powell, Gatlin, etc., they can run within 10 seconds casually, whether it is 10.24 seconds or 10.28 seconds, in their eyes, they are the existence of turtle speed.

Of course, the 100-meter sprint is only one event in track and field competitions. For other events such as middle and long-distance running, hurdles, jumping events, throwing events, etc., the standards for participation have been improved to varying degrees, and a large number of athletes will be drawn.

Zhang Guan must be the person in the world who is least worried about the improvement of Olympic competition standards. The world record holders of the events Zhang Guan participated in are all Zhang Guan himself. If even Zhang Guan cannot meet the standards, there will be no one in the world. If people can meet the standard, then the project will be cancelled.

Moreover, Zhang Guan has no competitors in China.

Like Bolt, Powell, etc., they were born in Jamaica, a strong country in track and field. If they want to enter the Olympics, it is not enough to reach the Olympic A standard. They also have to fight through the fiercely competitive domestic trials The situation of the US team players is not good enough. Just like table tennis, the domestic competition in China is far greater than the international competition.

Athletics is the weakness of the Chinese team. Most Chinese players are still working hard for an Olympic B standard. Zhang Guan does not need to face fierce competition in domestic trials like Bolt. As long as Zhang Guan is willing to participate, no matter how many If the people meet the standard at the same time, there will inevitably be a place for Zhang Guan.

After all, domestic players not only talk about strength, but also talk about politics.

...

Zhang Guan thought that the disadvantage mentioned by Director Ma was the improvement of Olympic competition standards, but Director Ma shook his head.

"What's the point of raising the competition standard? The IAAF has made a more ruthless move this time. They have restricted the competitions! An athlete can only participate in three track and field competitions at most." Director Ma said and looked at Zhang Guan. , and continued: "This is for you! I have already inquired, it is Sebastian's fault."
