Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 320 Surpassing the Sydney Miracle?

"Johnson steps down from the altar, and Guo Zizhao officially ascends the throne!"

“The new king in the men’s 400-meter dash—Guo Zizhao!”

"Having won two gold medals at the World Championships, Guo Zizhao won the gold medal as if he were picking something out of a bag!"

"With five world records in hand, the king of sprinting is about to be officially crowned!"

"How far is the men's 200-meter sprint world record from Guo Zizhao?"

"Guo Zizhao swept the men's sprint event, an era belonging to the Chinese is coming!"

On the second day, the world's major news media all reported again the news that Guo Zizhao broke the world record this time.

For other people who are not interested in track and field, after seeing this news, they just lament Guo Zizhao's strength.Furthermore, at most, when a group of people gather together, it is almost enough to comment on the various amazing achievements Guo Zizhao has achieved in recent years.

However, for many sports fans, or for Guo Zizhao's fans around the world, this is simply another piece of good news!

Seeing that their idol is about to sweep all the sprint events, these fans can't wait to celebrate with drums and gongs and publicize this exciting news to everyone.

Ever since, amid this lively publicity, almost the entire world has learned about Guo Zizhao's feats in this World Track and Field Championships.I also know that this Chinese is about to ascend to the throne of the world's sprint king!

……

Everyone is extremely optimistic about the remaining two events, the 110-meter hurdles and the 200-meter dash.

In the 110-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao just set a new world record in the Golden League more than a month ago.With Guo Zizhao's current fiery state, it can be said that it is not difficult to win this gold medal.

As for the men's 200-meter dash, let alone that.Green once again missed the World Championships in this event this year, and Michael Johnson's current strength in the 200-meter dash has already dropped to around 10th in the world rankings.Therefore, Johnson also consciously stopped looking for abuse.

Therefore, among the remaining contestants, there are almost very few opponents who can run within 20 seconds.So this gold medal is almost in Guo Zizhao's pocket!

The only suspense left is whether Guo Zizhao can break the world record of men's 200-meter dash this time!
The world record for this project also belongs to Michael Johnson.

在1996年的亚特兰大奥运会上，当时如日中天的迈克尔.约翰逊一举夺得了男子200米和400米短跑的两枚金牌。并且，同时创造了19秒32的男子200米短跑的新的世界纪录。

This record, together with Johnson's record of 1999 seconds for men's 400 meters set in the 43 World Championships, is called "the record of the 18st century"!People at the time concluded that no one could touch these two records again for at least 21 years.

In fact it is!
In the original history, Johnson's world record for the 200-meter sprint lasted for 13 years. It was not broken by the "big devil" Bolt until the 2009 World Track and Field Championships.The world record for the 400-meter sprint lasted for 17 years, and it was not broken until the 2016 Rio Olympics by South African player Van Nikeni.

It can be seen from this that the status of these two world records in people's minds at that time was so far away!
But this life is different!
Guo Zizhao's rapid rise in the sprint event almost completely broke the world record in the men's sprint event within two years.Even Michael Johnson's "record belonging to the 21st century" praised by the world has been broken, and the only remaining one is in jeopardy.

. . . . . .

Can you break the 200-meter world record by yourself?
After reading the report the next day, Guo Zizhao couldn't help but flirt.

Tsk tsk tsk... If I can break Johnson's record this time, then I will be really awesome in this World Athletics Championships!
But if you think about it carefully, hiss...it's still a bit difficult!When his "strength" and "endurance" attributes reached 95 points, although his naked running time had reached about 19 seconds.But after the "speed" and "agility" attributes also reached 80 points, I also measured it during training, and it was estimated to be around 95 seconds 19.

If all kinds of equipment are included, Guo Zizhao estimates that his time will be around 19 seconds and 35 seconds!It’s still a bit far away from the record of 19 seconds and 32 seconds...

Alas... If his "precision" attribute can reach 95 points now, then breaking the record will definitely be a problem.But now, with only 85.5 points of "accurate" attribute, his speed, especially the speed on the curve, is still a little bit worse!
What should I do?

who cares!Even if I can't break it this time, I should break it next time!It's the same whether it breaks early or breaks late!Why are you so worried about me?At least the four gold medals in the World Championships this time, Lao Tzu is sure!There is still a world record in the 110-meter hurdles, so I can break it again!I didn't try my best last time!Hey, cool...

……

The schedule for the next two days is very easy for Guo Zizhao, and there is only one game per day.

On the morning of August 8, Guo Zizhao participated in a men's 7-meter sprint preliminaries and easily passed.

Another young national team player, Yang Yaozhou, still suffered from lack of experience this time.Faced with the huge momentum of tens of thousands of spectators, Yang Yaozhou was obviously at a loss.In the end, it was a pity that it was eliminated.

On the morning of August 8th, it was the men's 8m hurdles semi-final.This time, the three players of the Chinese team made their debut again.

But this time, Guo Zizhao and Liu Feifei were placed in the first group of the semi-finals.The masters in the same group include Garcia, Trammel and others.Chen Yanhao was placed in the second group of the semi-finals, and this group included Alan Johnson, Dorival and other acquaintances.

"Xiao Liu, this is just your first World Series, don't be nervous, run well!" Guo Zizhao also patted Liu Feifei on the shoulder before going on the court, and said a few simple words of encouragement, "Don't worry about other people's rhythm. , just bury your head and run by yourself!"

"Yeah!" Liu Feifei also smiled and nodded, but Guo Zizhao could clearly tell this time that the boy was nervous.

"Relax, let's go!" Guo Zizhao didn't say any more, and took the lead on the field.Some things are useless to say more before the game.Only after they have experienced it will they gradually understand.

However, Guo Zizhao is not optimistic that Liu Feifei can enter the finals this time.Garcia, Trammell and others in this group can easily run within 13 seconds and 30 seconds. Liu Feifei's current result is still a little behind.

Besides, Liu Feifei doesn't have enough experience playing against top players.In this kind of competition, when you feel nervous, your movements will become deformed, and it is easy for others to take away your rhythm.I think back then, Chen Yanhao was a veteran who had experienced many battles. When he first entered the international competition and faced off against top players, he almost got carried away!Not to mention Liu Feifei, who is still quite immature now...

……

The final result of the game was exactly as Guo Zizhao expected.

Liu Feifei was completely blown away by the rhythm of Guo Zizhao, Garcia and others during the game.In the end, the team became more and more chaotic. They only finished No. 7 in the group and missed the finals.

This result made head coach Feng Shuyong even more determined to send all these outstanding young athletes out for a good workout next year.Otherwise, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will be wasted...

And Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao successfully met again in the men's 110m hurdles final, which is another major victory for our country in this track and field event.

Since the Sydney Olympics last year, Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao have reached the finals three times at the Olympics, the World Indoor Athletics Championships and this time the World Athletics Championships.

This not only reflects the strength of these two individuals, but also reflects the overall performance of our country in this project, which has entered a world-class level!
It is not possible for any country to be able to guarantee two seats in the finals of the world's top track and field competitions...
