Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 142 Certain Rules
When Guo Zizhao won another silver medal, a burst of fierce cheers rose again in the rest area of ​​the Chinese team.

"Not bad, not bad." Song Ping and his father Guo Sheng also applauded and nodded, "This time the performance is not bad. The training and competition abroad for the past six months have not been wasted. I have won two silver medals. Wait until next year, Guo Zizhao It’s almost time to hit the championship.”

"Well, this tortoise has to work harder. Just winning those Grand Prix and Golden League championships is useless. You can't lose the chain every time you come to such a big competition. It's time to hit the Olympic champion next year." Dad said the same He nodded and said in agreement.

"Well, there are not many competitions in Europe. This year, we will only participate in two or three races. Next year is the key. We have to plan carefully."

"Well, you're right. After all the competitions in September are over, let's make a good total together."

……

While Song Ping and his father were muttering, head coach Zhang Peng was also applauding excitedly.

The scheduled goal of this World Championship has basically been achieved, and Zhang Peng also heaved a long sigh of relief.Before the capital led the team to set off, Zhang Peng made a guarantee with the leaders of the center.There will be at least two medals in this World Championships.

According to Zhang Peng's estimation, in the women's 20-kilometer race walk, both Liu Hongyu and Wang Yan are capable of winning medals.This kind of double insurance guarantees that a medal will be credited.Where is Guo Zizhao? Although in the past six months, Guo Zizhao has won a lot of gold medals in the world competitions.However, the Athletics Grand Prix and the Golden League are too commercial after all, so the gold content of the gold medal has to be discounted.

However, Guo Zizhao's achievements are obvious to all.So Zhang Peng also estimated that Guo Zizhao should have no problem winning a medal in the World Championships.

As for the other contestants, they are basically playing the role of soy sauce.

It's just that I didn't expect that my estimate was wrong, and Guo Zizhao's strength is now so fierce.With two silver medals in the men's sprint world championships in hand, the task set before the competition has been completed.

The rest depends on the ability of women's race walking...

Hehe... This Guo Zizhao is really a lieutenant general!Zhang Peng couldn't help sighing.Since he joined the national team, in the past two years, the national team's medals in international competitions have not been broken.It's just that the other teammates are not up to snuff...

Alas... worry!
. . . . . .

After Guo Zizhao finished this game, his trip to the World Championships was all done.Although he didn't win the championship, it is not bad to have a lot of experience points.Originally, the experience value of participating in the World Championships was 1800 points, but after subtracting the 300 points consumed this time, there were only 1500 points left.Unfortunately, because Guo Zizhao did not win the championship, although Guo Zizhao's two results broke the Asian record this time, he did not receive any rewards.

There is nothing to arrange for the remaining few days, so Guo Zizhao can only consume some excess energy in the training room, or spend his free time talking to Elena on the phone for a while.

In this way, it lasted until the 29th, and the current World Championships finally came to an end.

In the last day of competition, the Chinese women's race walking event also broke out collectively.Liu Hongyu and Wang Yan lived up to expectations and took the lead all the way. In the end, they both won the top two places in this competition.The re-entry of a gold medal and a silver medal made Zhang Peng laugh so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

After the failure of the last World Championships, and 1 gold and 3 silvers in this World Championships, the Chinese track and field team can be regarded as proud this time.Especially Guo Zizhao's two men's sprint silver medals, which are the only men's medals in the history of China World Championships.

Even Zhang Peng, who had a grudge against Guo Zizhao, had to admit Guo Zizhao's contribution to the national track and field team.

……

On the 31st, the Chinese representative team for the [-]th World Athletics Championships returned home with a full load.This time, Guo Zizhao also had to interrupt his training and game plans in Europe, and returned home with the team.

I have no choice but to return to China to participate in this commendation and celebration meeting.This is a characteristic of our country. After such an important competition, you have to come back and show your face in front of the leaders.Besides, you also have to attend the results briefing and press conference organized by the center.

As the two silver medalists in the men's sprint event at this World Championships, Guo Zizhao was specially named by the leaders.So, I had to go back home.

But fortunately, Guo Zizhao doesn't have the pressure to integrate attribute points.Moreover, Guo Zizhao originally planned to give up one or two races.

Hehe...the reason is also very simple.That is to comfort, Montgomery's fragile heart.

It turned out that when Guo Zizhao went to Montgomery to clarify after the incident of "Virgin Men", he had already agreed to the other party's request.In order to keep Montgomery from talking nonsense in front of the media, Guo Zizhao had no choice but to make a compromise, that is, to give up participating in the Rieti Grand Prix in early September.

After all, this race is only 10 days away from the just-concluded World Championships, and most of the masters are still in a period of adjustment, and Montgomery also wants to take this opportunity to win a champion.However, Montgomery was still afraid that Guo Zizhao would come out to make trouble again, so he took the opportunity to make this request.

No problem... Guo Zizhao readily agreed to this request.In fact, in the series of international grand prix competitions, the contestants' choice of events is the same as that of domestic competitions, and there is a certain tacit understanding.

Guo Zizhao had just entered the international competition this year, and his ranking at the beginning was not too strong, so everyone didn't care.When Guo Zizhao's results were firmly in the top three of each grand prix, Guo Zizhao began to figure out the taste of it.Look at Green, Bolton, Jackson, Garcia, etc. in the selection of the participating sites of the Grand Prix, or in the performance of maintaining strength in certain races, and in the Mercedes-Benz company they spoke for several times. Guo Zizhao also quickly understood under the reminder.

. . . . . .

For the top-ranked players in the world, for competitions at the grand prix level, which races do you participate in, which races do I participate in, and which races are left? Everyone depends on their strength. In fact, there is a certain tacit understanding between the two parties.

After all, those engaged in track and field, the income from commercial endorsements is not as powerful as those football, basketball, tennis or golf players.Keeping a certain tacit understanding in this way, at least everyone can win the championship in one or two competitions, and they can also have good competition bonuses and commercial income.Of course, competitions like the Golden League are exceptions. Everyone is going there for the prize money, so there is no question of whether to give in or not.

But a race like the Athletics Grand Prix is ​​different.If you snatch the championship of every competition, not to mention whether you have such strength, even if you have such strength, if you dare to do this, there will be a lot of offenders!
……

The first to offend were the other top athletes.You let people have nothing to do this year, and they can't win a grand prix championship. At that time, everyone will play tricks in the competition.Especially for opponents on the adjacent track, when the time comes to deliberately hit a hand or kick a hurdle during the game, it will not only affect your performance, but also easily cause injury to the players.

Guo Zizhao remembered that Liu Feiren in his previous life was often tricked by such small tricks even during competitions.

Secondly, even the endorsement companies and enterprises behind those athletes will also have opinions.It doesn't matter if you offend one or two, after all, there is a certain competition between those companies.However, if you offend all the companies, it is estimated that the endorsement company behind you will not endorse you.After all, the power of capital is hard to guard against.

Finally, it will also cause dissatisfaction with the IAAF.Domination by one company is not a principle that the IAAF has always adhered to.Only competitions with fierce competition and full of suspense are what the IAAF wants to see.

Of course, there is no problem with the emergence of one or two great players who are dominant and charismatic.The IAAF also welcomes the appearance of such star players, which can also increase the appeal and appreciation of the game.

Just like Green in the men's 100-meter field, or Jackson and Alan Johnson in the 110-meter hurdles, or Michael Johnson, the overlord of the 200-meter and 400-meter tracks.These are the objects that the IAAF vigorously promotes.But even they have to give some sweetness to other opponents.Otherwise, it will also attract suppression from the IAAF.

Just like today's Chinese table tennis, the international competition rules of this event have been changed again and again.The purpose is to suppress the advantages of the Chinese team in this area and make the game more widely participated and enjoyable.Otherwise, not only will the Chinese team win the championship every time, but even the top three will not be spared, so what's the point?

Suppression!So press firmly.
