Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 141 Silver Medal
Compared with Zhou Wei, Chen Yanhao and Han Mingchao's mentality is much better.

After all, Chen Yanhao is almost 28 years old now, and if there are no accidents, he has basically entered the end of his career.And at any rate, Chen Yanhao was also the former "Asian column king", and he has already experienced those glorious moments that are easy to dazzle.Therefore, there is no other meaning for Guo Zizhao's current achievements other than envy.

Although Han Mingchao is still at his peak, he knows his own situation.In the past two years, Han Mingchao has not achieved any outstanding results in the world competition.I also understood the gap between myself and the world's masters, and this time I was able to participate in the World Championships because of the quota that Guo Zizhao gave up this time.Therefore, for this teammate who is 4 years younger than me, I have no other thoughts other than admiration.

On the contrary, Zhou Wei, who was the same age as Han Mingchao, began to feel a little worried about Guo Zizhao.The peak period of Asian athletes is already very short. The average track and field athlete is almost in decline by the age of 26 to 28.If you maintain it well enough to be around 30 years old, it’s considered great.Unlike European and American athletes, they can still be active in the world in their 30s.

For Zhou Wei, who is currently 24 years old, almost half of his peak period has passed, but whether it is in the domestic or international arena, he has been suppressed to death by Guo Zizhao, and there is no hope of turning over.Why doesn't this make Zhou Wei feel a little lost...

Winner and loser... This is so cruel for competitive sports...

……

The teammates who came to congratulate Guo Zizhao just chatted for a while and then consciously went back to rest.After all, everyone has a game tomorrow and needs to take a good rest to recharge.

Guo Zizhao also took time out and called Elena who was far away in Moscow to announce his happiness.But because of the time difference, it was almost early morning over there.So the two of them didn't talk too much, they just hung up the phone after a few simple words.

On the way back to their respective rooms, Chen Yanhao deliberately lagged behind by a few steps, and came to Zhou Wei who was walking at the end.

Looking at this dejected teammate from the national team, Chen Yanhao also sighed, and patted Zhou Wei on the shoulder, "Are you all right, Xiao Zhou?"

Zhou Wei also shook his head listlessly and didn't speak, probably feeling uncomfortable.Chen Yanhao also laughed dumbfounded, it seems that Zhou Wei still didn't understand.However, as the big brother of the national track and field team, it is still necessary to do ideological work for this buddy.

"You are still too young." Chen Yanhao also said softly, "We athletes, the most important thing is to compare ourselves. As long as we can surpass ourselves and break our own limits, we have made progress. Although this progress The range may be a little smaller, but as long as we can persevere and accumulate little by little, we will have a breakthrough. There is no need to compare with others. There are so many masters in the world, everyone Their physical fitness and opportunities are also different, if you want to compare them all, then you are not exhausted."

"You...you have to be more open. Now that Guo Zizhao is at the front, the pressure on our athletes will be much less. Otherwise, just this World Championships, the performance pressure arranged by the above will make it difficult. You can't breathe. Now that Guo Zizhao has achieved results, the training environment and investment of our track and field team will be greatly improved in the future. Now we have less pressure and can focus more on training And in the competition, why not do it?"

"Think about it again..." Chen Yanhao also patted Zhou Wei on the shoulder, and walked towards his room.Alas, if you don't want to understand this kind of thing, it's useless for anyone to say it.I hope Zhou Wei can cheer up soon...
However, neither Chen Yanhao nor Guo Zizhao expected that after a while, this Zhou Wei would make a big mess for the national team with his outspoken words...

. . . . . .

The next day, Guo Zizhao got up early.There was nothing to do in the morning, Guo Zizhao went to the training room habitually, and did simple activities for two hours.

In the afternoon preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao still ran down very easily.Successfully entered the semi-finals as the first in the group.

Chen Yanhao's luck this time is also very good. The strength of his team is not strong, and he also played very well this time.In the end, he won the No.13 of the group with a time of 34 seconds, and narrowly entered the semi-finals of the World Championships.

But Han Mingchao did not have such good luck.In the men's 200m preliminaries in the afternoon, Han Mingchao was eliminated without any surprise.He can only wait for the 400-meter preliminaries two days later. However, with his current results, it is estimated that he will be eliminated in the first round.

In the semi-final of the men's 23m hurdles on the afternoon of the 110rd, Chen Yanhao's luck was useless this time.The strength is not good, and he was eliminated.The contestants who can enter the finals can basically run around 13 seconds. Chen Yanhao's strength is still a little bit worse.

Guo Zizhao also took a look at the opponents in the final tonight, and they were basically old faces that were common in the first half of the year.Jackson, Garcia, Rose, Creel, Trammell, Schwarthoff and others, everyone has a good understanding of each other's level, the main thing is to see who can play well on the spot.

However, Guo Zizhao feels that he is in a good state this time. After all, the high-level competitions in the past few months have made him adapt to the pressure of such competitions.Coupled with yesterday's super-level performance, Guo Zizhao's spirit has also been sublimated to a certain extent.Although there is no change in the "spiritual" attribute, Guo Zizhao believes that his ability to withstand stress must have made substantial progress.

……

The "stamina value" is 82 and the "status value" is 78. As expected, he is in great condition!In this case, I won’t be polite, haha...

"on your marks...set"

"Bah!"

With the gunfire of the men's 110m hurdles final, Guo Zizhao once again launched an impact on another medal of his own.

Guo Zizhao had no pressure in this final.With a silver medal in the men's 100 meters already in hand, Guo Zizhao is now relaxed.Coupled with the excellent condition this time, Guo Zizhao also ran very relaxed.

Of course, physical relaxation does not mean mental relaxation.Guo Zizhao also wanted to challenge the veteran Jackson again.This time Johnson was unable to participate in the current World Championships due to injury, so his only challenge target was Jackson.

As for Garcia, his current strength is indeed on par with his own.However, this time his condition is very good, so Garcia is basically out of play this time.As for other opponents, there is no problem at all.

Sure enough, the progress of the game also confirmed Guo Zizhao's guess.

Jackson, Guo Zizhao and Garcia firmly held the advantage of the first group.After the 7th column, the other players were left far behind.Let there be no suspense in this medal battle.

And Jackson deserves to be the most perfect athlete among the current active athletes who combines speed and rhythm between hurdles.When Guo Zizhao and Garcia got off the last hurdle at the same time, Jackson had already sprinted nearly two meters away.

Although the straight line sprint behind was already Guo Zizhao's forte, but because the distance ahead was pulled down by Jackson too much, Guo Zizhao was still half a body behind his opponent when he finally hit the line.

In the final of the 110-meter hurdles, it was a pity to win a silver medal again!
杰克逊以13秒04的成绩排在了第一位，郭子昭13秒05，加西亚13秒07。

Even so, Guo Zizhao happily offered his most sincere blessings to the 32-year-old British veteran.It's not easy... Guo Zizhao also sighed silently in his heart. He didn't know if he could run so fast and win the World Championships at his age.

In particular, this big guy is only 1 meters tall, which is simply unique in the short-span events of modern sports.This is the real hero... Guo Zizhao also has to admire it.

　Today's first update, come back at 4 pm.
