Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 102 Aftermath
Two days later, the Chinese track and field team, which was competing in this year's Indoor World Championships, returned to China.

On the last day of the game, the Chinese team did not win any medals, just as the coaching staff predicted.The final number of medals in this year's Indoor World Championships is the two precious bronze medals won by Guo Zizhao.

However, compared with the results of the previous sessions, it is considered an improvement. After all, the previous sessions only won one bronze medal in the women's event each time.This time not only won two, but also in the men's sprint event.Therefore, it is enough for everyone to celebrate and write a special book.

However, Zhang Peng felt a little uncomfortable.Although it was Guo Zizhao who won the two bronze medals this time, it is an indisputable fact that other members of the national team did not perform well.After all, Guo Zizhao is just an athlete outside the system, but these national players who are in the system under him are performing like this. Why don't they make Zhang Peng feel embarrassing for a while... I can't rely on everything in the future. Guo Zizhao!This is a bit different from what I originally imagined!

Seeing the joyous expressions of the leaders and other members of the team who came to greet them, Zhang Peng could only force a smile.

……

Leaving aside the worried Zhang Peng, after the entire team returned to the field management center, they also held a simple result briefing.Facing the swarm of media reporters, the spokesperson of the center only briefly introduced the situation of the competition, and then entered the time for reporters to ask questions.

As the only medalist in this session of the Indoor World Championships, Guo Zizhao was also asked to answer questions from reporters.

However, Guo Zizhao, who is already a veteran driver, can handle these reporters with ease.No matter how flattering or inducing these reporters are, Guo Zizhao's answer is always ambiguous.He gave full play to the essence of Tai Chi, rambling about for a while, completely showing the image of a humble and studious good boy, which made the reporters unable to show their strength.

"What do you think? Of course, first of all, I want to thank the motherland, the leaders of the General Administration and the Center for their care and support, the coaches for their care and help, and the audience across the country for their support and encouragement. Caring and positive coverage…”

Alas, this glossy article is not as good as it is...

"What? A higher goal? Of course there is, it is to earnestly compare every game and strive to achieve better results. Just don't embarrass the fathers, old folks..."

"Gold medal? Of course, it is every athlete's dream to pursue a gold medal. Every athlete, from the moment he steps on the field, has a dream of winning the championship and winning glory for the country. It is the belief of our athletes to train hard and persist in the competition. However, we must also fully understand our own strength. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win a hundred battles. One of my elders told me, don’t be complacent or belittle yourself, and be down-to-earth step by step Keep your footprints down, so that the foundation can be stabilized, and the road can get wider and wider..."

I'm going... The reporters off the field have already scratched their heads. I ran all the way here and asked me to listen to this. This is the rhythm of chicken soup for the soul...

"What? Evaluating the performance of other athletes? Of course it's good. We can't judge athletes by whether they have won medals. Isn't the Olympic spirit all about participation? Doesn't our country advocate "friendship first and competition second?" "Well. Competitive sports, of course there are victories and losses. Although our strength is not as good as other developed countries for the time being, our development momentum and potential are still quite large. Through such competitions, we can fully understand our own Only through these shortcomings and deficiencies can there be room for further progress. More importantly, through such competitions, we have shown our spiritual outlook and spirit of hard work and progress to the people of the world. It shows the great situation of reform and opening up. Under the background, our country's sports industry is developing vigorously. It demonstrates the great achievements of building socialism with Chinese characteristics under the correct leadership of the party. These are the most important things! Therefore, everyone should not look at the appearance when looking at the problem , to observe the profound meaning hidden inside things through the outside..."

I rely on! ...The reporters have already started to vomit blood. Did I go to the wrong venue? This is clearly a government press conference...

Half an hour later, Guo Zizhao was forced to end the interview.What, this is the end, tsk, tsk... I haven't talked about it yet, why don't I let it go.There are still topics about **** and building a harmonious society that have not been discussed yet, what a disappointment...

. . . . . .

After the results briefing meeting, there was not much left for Guo Zizhao.Guo Zizhao and his team returned to the training center again, this time preparing for the Melbourne Track and Field Grand Prix in a few days.

This time Guo Zizhao only won two bronze medals in the Indoor World Championships, so he didn't get any attribute point rewards, but he gave a lot of experience points, a full 1500 points.However, according to the system, participating in this level of competition can get rewards for these experience points, but they didn't get gold medals, let alone break records, so that's all the rewards.

Alas... It seems that the task of getting attribute point rewards still has to fall on the IAAF Grand Prix.However, because China's track and field level has not had any outstanding results, so the current domestic athletes seldom sign up to participate in international competitions with a strong commercial flavor such as the Track and Field Grand Prix.After all, to participate in such a competition, the round-trip travel expenses and accommodation expenses will also cost a lot of money.And there is no chance to win a medal or a bonus, so of course the field management center will not approve such a loss-making business.

Of course, if it is a year with the World Championships or the Olympic Games, in order to give individual athletes with the strength to compete for medals more opportunities to exercise, the center will also specially approve part of the funds for participating in foreign competitions.However, these funds are still quite tight at present.

Therefore, the IAAF Athletics Grand Prix series and Golden League competitions that Guo Zizhao signed up for this year were all paid out of his own pocket.We are not short of money, and it is more comfortable and convenient to spend money by ourselves.Otherwise, you have to compete with other players for competition funds, how bad the impact will be.And with the small amount of money approved by the center each time, you have to save some money when you go out to compete.Accommodation standards and round-trip toll standards have to be implemented in accordance with the regulations. Every time I use a little more, I have to ask the leader for instructions and report. How tiring.Guo Zizhao also didn't want to find that troublesome thing, he spent money to buy a peace of mind and comfort...

……

Guo Zizhao stayed in the training center honestly for a few days, mainly to adjust his state.In fact, athletes will have a period of low tide after a competition, which is also a normal performance.

Because when participating in a competition, athletes maintain their physical and mental state at their best through their own adjustments.After being stimulated by the competition, adrenaline will be secreted in large quantities, which puts the body in a state of stress.People in this state can often exert their full energy and stimulate their potential, so as to achieve better competition results.

Just like ordinary people, when encountering excitement, excitement or danger, their own reactions will be more agile than usual, the speed will become faster, and the strength will suddenly become greater.But once out of the dangerous environment, you will suddenly find that your reaction at that moment just now is really unprecedented.However, what followed was muscle soreness all over the body, as if the whole body was limp and unable to lift up.

This kind of reaction is actually similar to the state of athletes participating in competitions.High-level athletes can actually achieve results similar to those in competitions through daily high-intensity training. Therefore, they have strong adaptability and the duration and intensity of the low period will be very short.Low-level athletes have never experienced such intense stimulation and intense competition, and their adverse reactions will last for a long time after the competition.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao chose to participate in the Melbourne Grand Prix on March 3, also out of this consideration.Because this competition is too close to the just-concluded World Indoor Championships, some masters don’t react strongly even if they are physically fit, but out of their own health considerations, they are afraid that they will accidentally get injured if they are not in good condition. So it is not very likely to participate in the competition.In this way, Guo Zizhao has a better chance of winning the championship and receiving system rewards.

Anyway, I have system protection and potions to use, if I don’t make good use of this opportunity, I will be struck by lightning...

. . . . . .

On the morning of the 15th, after a week of adjustments, Guo Zizhao and his coaching team boarded the plane again and flew to Australia.

This time without the personnel from the field management center to follow, Guo Zizhao and his party got into the VIP cabin directly with wealth and wealth.It took more than ten hours of sleep to get to the place, and I had to sleep comfortably.It can only be stretched in the VIP cabin...

Song Ping, who was used to thrift at first, still had some complaints after boarding the plane. In his words, "I used to lead teams abroad to participate in competitions, and every penny had to be planned and spent. I only had the funds approved by the central government. , Sometimes I wish I could spend a penny in half, for fear that I will not even have enough travel expenses. So sometimes I dare not even stay in the hotel provided by the organizing committee. It is too expensive and the funds are not enough. Yes The time plan could not keep up with the changes, and the money was really not enough, so I had to ask the local embassy for help. It would be even worse if there was no embassy in the local area. In order to ensure that the athletes’ game status will not be affected, the coaches consciously only eat half a day. A piece of bread is even hungry, and the little money saved is used to protect the athletes, alas..."

Guo Zizhao who said this is also blushing, deeply ashamed of his upstart behavior...

But fortunately, Song Ping then changed the subject, "However, it has gotten better in recent years. The country has become stronger, and the funds of our General Administration have also become much richer. The various expenses for going out for competitions can still be guaranteed. Just like our Director Wu As I said, we go out to represent the image of the country, so we can't go out looking poor and ashamed."

right!Director Wu is right!Guo Zizhao immediately nodded vigorously, silently applauding the leader in his heart.

"Also..." Song Ping continued to look at Guo Zizhao, and said with a smile, "I know you are also a rich man, since this time you pay out of your own pocket and you are not short of money, you should enjoy it. Ouch... I have old arms and legs, I still feel comfortable lying on this sofa... Well, Shu Tan, don't forget to call me when it's time for dinner..."

I'm going... Guo Zizhao's head is full of black lines!No matter how you say this, you are justified...

Looking at Song Guowei who was laughing with his head down, Guo Zizhao couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Brother Song, do you know that your father is so talented?
　First update today.I hope you will continue to support me.
