Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 313 Fighting World Athletics Championships Again

Edmonton is the provincial capital of Alberta, Canada and the fifth largest city in Canada.Edmonton is the center of the oil industry in Alberta, known as the "Oil Capital of Canada".The city has the world's largest indoor shopping center - West Edmonton Shopping Center and Canada's largest historical park - Edmonton Fort Park.

To be honest, Guo Zizhao had never heard of this city, either in his previous life or in this life.However, in order not to show his ignorance, when Song Ping introduced himself, Guo Zizhao still nodded while listening to him.

The members of the national track and field team also arrived in Edmonton on the 1st and met Guo Zizhao smoothly.This time the delegation is still led by head coach Feng Shuyong.Counting Guo Zizhao, there are a total of 20 athletes participating this time.It can be regarded as the one with the largest number of participants in the previous World Athletics Championships.

Among them, there are 8 male players and 12 female players.In the women's event, Liu Hongyu, the last champion in race walking, and Guan Yingnan, the famous long jumper, both participated.Pole vault rookie Gao Shuying and members of the newly formed "Ma Jiajun" also joined the battle.

Among the participating male players, except for Li Rongxiang, a veteran javelin thrower, and Li Zewen, a famous race walking player, all the others are male sprinters.

It can be said that the Chinese team has exploded in terms of the number of participants in the men's sprint event this time.Guo Zizhao and Chen Haijian in the men's 100m sprint, Guo Zizhao and Yang Yaozhou in the 200m, Guo Zizhao and Xu Ziyu in the 400m, Guo Zizhao, Chen Yanhao and Liu Feifei in the 110m hurdles.

Looking at the current Chinese representative team, head coach Feng Shuyong is also very energetic.In the previous Chinese team, in the men's sprint event, it was not bad to have a player with a B standard.However, in the last two World Championships, A standard players are not uncommon!
In the last World Championships, there were three A standard players Guo Zizhao, Chen Yanhao and Zhou Wei.And in this World Championships, there were even six A standard players.Especially in the men's 110-meter hurdles event, it is the first time that our national team has fully occupied the three participating places!
This is progress, huge progress...

Although Feng Shuyong also knew that among these contestants, only Guo Zizhao had the absolute strength to win the gold.But what is it?As long as there is a steady stream of reserve talents, when these young people grow up, when it comes to the Athens Olympics, or the Beijing Olympics, that will be the time for them to shine...

……

Speaking of this, I have to mention two major events that happened in July.

7月13日，国际奥委会在莫斯科世界贸易中心举行了112次全体会议，选举2008年第29届夏季奥运会的主办城市。

First, the five candidate cities will complete the presentation report, and then the IOC evaluation committee will complete the evaluation report.Finally, after two rounds of voting, the International Olympic Committee decided to award the right to host the 5th Summer Olympic Games in 2008 to the capital of China—Beijing!
When IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch announced the voting decision, the whole land of China was in a state of ebullition.Countless viewers who gathered in front of the TV were all cheering and excited for it!

The last time Beijing failed to bid for the Olympic Games was in 1993. At that time, Guo Zizhao was only a junior high school student!Guo Zizhao was also very excited to experience such a moving scene again in this life.

Hehe... In my previous life, when the Beijing Olympics was held, I was just a melon-eating crowd watching the excitement in front of the TV.In this life, I will definitely be the protagonist of this Olympic Games!

……

Another major event that attracted Guo Zizhao's attention was the ninth World Swimming Championships held in Fukuoka, Japan from July 7 to 16.

After nearly two weeks of competition, the Chinese team ranked second in the gold medal list with 10 golds, 6 silvers and 4 bronzes.This result is indeed very powerful!In particular, the Chinese diving team known as the "Dream Team" won 10 gold medals in 8 individual competitions.

On the contrary, the swimming team barely managed to save some face by relying on the two gold medals won by the "Queen of the Frogs" Luo Xue in the 50m and 100m breaststroke.The men's contestants were completely annihilated, and their best result was only 16th, which was a total loss of face.

When Guo Zizhao got the news, his mood was quite complicated.On the one hand, I am happy for the excellent results of the diving team, and on the other hand, I am depressed about the performance of the men's swimming team!
Alas... the current situation of the swimming team is very similar to the national track and field team a few years ago!It's all about the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang... In the last life, Liu Feifei, Su Bingtian and others made major breakthroughs in men's track and field events; while men's swimming events will have to wait until after 2010, with Sun Yangyang and Ning Ze The rise of Tao and others officially stood up.

But now, hum... the history of men's track and field events has been changed by me!If Lao Tzu can enter the swimming event again, it will change this shameful situation as soon as possible...

. . . . . .

On August 8, the 3th World Athletics Championships kicked off in Edmonton, Canada. Thousands of athletes from 206 countries will compete fiercely in the 10-day competition.

This is also the second time Guo Zizhao has set foot on the stage of the World Athletics Championships.Hmph... At the World Championships in Seville two years ago, I only won two silver medals.This time, it's time for me to feel proud...

After the opening ceremony at 06:30 in the evening, the men's marathon was the first to start.The last game of this World Championships is also the women's marathon.

It is said that such a project setting is also a special arrangement of the organizing committee, and its significance is to symbolize the endless challenge of human beings to nature and themselves...

Your sister, who said that foreigners don't have big brains...

Guo Zizhao's schedule for the World Championships this time is also very relaxed, and he has not been specifically targeted like he was in the Sydney Olympics.After all, Guo Zizhao's popularity in the international athletics world is now No. 1!With the world records in four sprint events in hand, it can be said that he is truly the world's number one flying man!
Moreover, because this World Athletics Championships is held in Canada, a sparsely populated country, the organizing committee is not confident about the participation of the audience.Therefore, top players like Guo Zizhao need to participate to stimulate ratings and people's enthusiasm to watch the game live.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao's schedule is reasonable, with only two to three games per day.And according to the schedule, Guo Zizhao's game will be over by the 9th.There are still three days to rest!Just in time, after a few days of rest, you can still participate in a Grand Prix and the Golden League before the start of the Universiade!

……

The second match day of the World Championships, that is, the match on August 8, is very easy for Guo Zizhao.There is only one men's 4-meter sprint preliminaries.

For Guo Zizhao, this is completely out of the question.After easily winning No.1 in the group, Guo Zizhao also encouraged Chen Haijian who was about to play.

"Xiao Chen, don't be nervous, just run according to your usual competition rhythm. With your A-level results, there is no big problem in reaching the semi-finals!"

"Well, don't worry, Guo Ge. It's hard to participate in the World Championships once, and I will try to run one more time!" Chen Haijian also said with excitement.

"Well, that's good. You have already had experience in several international competitions. Adjust your emotions well. Try to participate in the semi-finals tomorrow! I am optimistic about you..."

"Okay! I won't let Brother Guo down!"

Chen Haijian's mood also gradually calmed down... Yes, not only did he participate in several international indoor competitions last year, but he also participated in the World Indoor Athletics Championships this year.Among the few young players in the team, they can be considered experienced, so what are you afraid of!Isn't it the World Athletics Championships?Fight……
