Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 286

It turned out that in the swimming challenge that ended 3 hours ago, Guo Zizhao finally defeated Thorpe with a time of 50 seconds.This news not only surprised the audience at the scene, even everyone who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV shouted in disbelief.

Although the reason why Thorpe lost this game is a bit funny, there is also a lot of water in this battle.It’s like when some media directly ridiculed Thorpe and said, "This is mainly because the "torpedo" has been soaked in water for too long, some of it has entered the water, and the control system has a short circuit!".However, Guo Zizhao's time of 50 seconds was really without water.

It is incredible that a top international sprinter can swim at such a professional level.Although Guo Zizhao's result is only a second-rate result in international competitions, it has surpassed the level of swimming teams in most countries.

Even within Asia, this is a top result.You must know that Guo Zizhao's result not only broke the national record of the Chinese men's 100-meter freestyle, but also only 0.12 seconds away from the Asian record.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zizhao is actually an amphibious all-around monster!Tsk tsk tsk... Some media have even begun to imagine the possibility of Guo Zizhao entering the international swimming competition in the future...

But on the contrary, it was the performance of the coaches of the swimming team who came to watch the game after the game.

Except for Zhu Zigen and Ye Jin, who were excited to congratulate Guo Zizhao, the other two did not appear to be happy.The head coach Zhao Ge just smiled on the surface, and simply encouraged Guo Zizhao with a few words.And that yin and yang coach Han Bing had a sneer all over his face, which was annoying.

It seems that he really offended the national swimming team...

……

"What's the matter? You don't really intend to continue to start a swimming event, do you?" Dad asked in surprise seeing Guo Zizhao's pensive look.

"Oh..." When Song Ping heard what his father said, he was also interested, and turned his head to look at Guo Zizhao with searching eyes.

"Hey... In the past two days, I really have such plans. So I want to hear your opinions first." Seeing that the two old men also raised this question, Guo Zizhao no longer concealed anything.So I was also trying to hear the thoughts of the two old men.

"That's not acceptable!" Dad immediately expressed his objection. "You just won an Olympic champion, why is your tail up now? You already have a lot of four sprint events, how can you still have time to practice swimming?"

"Besides, we don't understand this swimming training? It's not easy to find a suitable coach? What about the venue? How to solve these problems?"

"Well... old man, don't worry, let's talk slowly." Guo Zizhao quickly comforted his father when he saw his father getting angry.

"Actually, I just have this plan now, and I haven't really made up my mind yet." Guo Zizhao also explained quickly, and then went on to talk about his own thoughts.

"Sprinting is my main sport, and I will definitely not give up. How can I be satisfied with only four gold medals! In next year's World Championships, I have to win a few more gold medals to enjoy myself!" Guo Zizhao It is also said in a coquettish way.

However, Guo Zizhao then changed the subject, "However, this will not delay my participation in other projects."

"Old man, look...my current strength in sprinting can be regarded as the top in the world. If I wait until next year's World Championships to win a few more gold medals, then I will basically be considered invincible in the world. Based on my competitive level and status at that time, apart from the Olympics and World Championships, I don’t have to participate in other competitions as frequently as I do now!”

"So, apart from daily training, I don't have much else to do every year to keep fit? But at that time, I was only 22 or 3 years old. How boring is this?" Guo Zizhao also made With a pitiful look, he looked at his father and said, "So, when I think about it, can I spare some time to try other competitions?"

"Oh... If you say that, there is no problem. If it is time to become famous, I have no objection to you doing something else." Dad listened to Guo Zizhao's words, but nodded in approval, "But now, You still have to concentrate on the track and field events!"

. . . . . .

"Hey... that's right! I just have such an idea. In the short term, at least until next year's World Championships, I will not consider this issue." Guo Zizhao also immediately reassured his father again.

But Guo Zizhao was complaining silently in his heart.I still want to relax for a year or two, and I will definitely not start a new project in the short term.Besides, before the new project started, even if you asked me to participate in swimming competitions, I couldn't swim at a high level?This time, I just borrowed the light of the "Super Experience Card".When it comes to the official competition, this thing won't work...

"So after this time, I found that my swimming level is not bad, so I want to ask for your opinions. Let's see if I can develop a little bit in this area in the next year or two?" After speaking, Guo Zizhao also turned his head to Song. Mr. Ping, "Mr. Song, can you see if my idea is feasible?"

"Hmm..." Song Ping also lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head, "It stands to reason that your swimming level is more than enough to enter the national team. It would be a pity if you don't make good use of it. But... I'm not very optimistic about the prospects of this project!"

"Oh...how do you say that? Is my level not enough?" Guo Zizhao and his father immediately became concerned and concentrated on waiting for Song Ping's next explanation.

"It has nothing to do with your level. The main reason is that the tourism management center is not the same as our field management center." Song Ping also sighed, and then slowly explained.

……

It turns out that the sports events managed by the swimming management center are not just swimming.At present, there are three sports departments under the swimming management center, namely swimming department, diving department, synchronized swimming department and water polo department.

Almost all track and field events in the Athletic Management Center have no difference in international competitiveness.Although the swim management center has not performed well in swimming events in recent years, and synchronized swimming and water polo have just started, it has always been the champion in the world in diving events.Whether it is in the Olympic Games or the World Swimming Championships, every diving event will have at least one or two gold medals.

Especially since this year, FINA has newly opened a pair diving project.This increased the Tournament Management Center's competitiveness for gold medals in international competitions again.Therefore, this made them less demand for Guo Zizhao to join the national team.

Secondly, although the National Swimming Team has performed poorly in the past two years, it was even wiped out in this Olympic Games.But the swimming team, especially in the women's swimming event, was once brilliant after all.

At the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, the "five golden flowers" of the Chinese swimming team were born and won four gold and five silver in one fell swoop.At the World Swimming Championships in 1994, the swimming team won 16 of the 12 gold medals in the women's events.The Chinese swimming team in the past few years has shocked the world swimming world.

Until the Hiroshima Asian Games in October 1994, the "doping scandal" of the Chinese swimming team was exposed.This completely let the Chinese swimming team step down from the altar.

But even so, in the minds of most leaders of the swimming management center, swimming is still something they were once proud of.Therefore, it is almost impossible to join the national swimming team as an athlete outside the system like in the track and field team.

Finally, and of course the most important point: Director Shi Tianguang, the big boss of the tourism management center, is quite displeased with Guo Zizhao's status as an outsider athlete.

This old revolutionary is not as smooth and talkative as Director Xie Yalong of the Field Management Center.It can be said that as long as he is around, if Guo Zizhao wants to join the national swimming team, there is really no way for him...
