Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 505 The Magic City International Athletics Gold Grand Prix

The Shanghai International Athletics Gold Grand Prix is ​​one of the outdoor competitions officially approved by the IAAF, and it is also the first time that the IAAF chooses to set up an international top track and field grand prix in China.

Guo Zizhao remembers that after 2010 in his previous life, the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix was officially merged into the IAAF Diamond League and became one of the top international track and field events.

However, the first Magic City Athletics Gold Grand Prix held this year is only a franchised competition and is not included in the international points ranking system.

However, considering the huge influence of China Athletics and Guo Zizhao in the international field, the IAAF also made a private commitment.If this grand prix is ​​held smoothly, next year it can be considered to upgrade the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix to a tour, and at the same time incorporate it into the international points ranking system.

Therefore, not only the entire General Administration of Sports, the Field Management Center, and the Shanghai Metropolitan Government attach great importance to this grand prix, but even Guo Zizhao was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the leaders of the General Administration, that is, to recruit some top experts to give the first competition The grand prix is ​​soaring!

At the beginning of this year, director Yuan Weiming had already retired, and Liu Peng, the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of Shuchuan Province, was unexpectedly transferred to be the director of the General Administration of Sports.Coupled with Uncle Li Mingzhong, the deputy director who will continue to be re-elected this year, Guo Zizhao's background in the General Administration has become more and more stable!

Of course, the task given to Guo Zizhao by the General Administration might be a bit difficult for others, but for Guo Zizhao, it couldn't be easier.

With Guo Zizhao's current status and influence, who wouldn't give him some face?Besides, the training camp for top players that Guo Zizhao held at Rongcheng Xipu at the end of the past two years has made many players salivate!

If I can also be invited in to experience it, maybe my grades can be greatly improved?Even if there is no improvement in grades, it is good to increase the popularity!

Therefore, when Guo Zizhao yelled after the finals, not only the top masters who participated in the finals agreed to come, but even many first- and second-rate masters who ranked in the twenties and thirties also signed up for the competition.

Seeing so many people going, Guo Zizhao scratched his head a little bit.Your sister... can the organizing committee be busy enough to go to so many people at once?What is the schedule?Forget it, don't care, I just kill and don't care about burying, I have brought you all the people, and the remaining problems are still a headache for the organizing committee!

Therefore, Guo Zizhao also asked Song Ping to convey the registration situation here to the Field Management Center and the Modu Organizing Committee, and then he went to rest.

……

On the second day, the organizing committee of the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, who saw the registration status, also began to feel pain and happiness.

Your sister... Originally, according to the regulations of the franchise competition, only the top 40 players in the international ranking were eligible to sign up.Because there is no international points, and the competition time is arranged after the IAAF track and field finals, the organizing committee originally thought that the number of participants would not be too many.So, I had no choice but to use Guo Zizhao, a big killer, to pull people over.

According to the forecast of the organizing committee, Guo Zizhao will be able to bring in two or three of the top ten players in the world, and then he will pick three or four players from the [-] or [-] players who signed up for the competition. If one or two top domestic experts participate, that's almost it!
But now, because of Guo Zizhao's torment, the top 40 players in the international rankings, except for players who have injuries or whose schedules can't be adjusted, suddenly have more than 30 players!Your sister's... especially the top ten masters in the sprint event, almost all of them are here!

Let me go... Guo Zizhao has packed up all the contestants who participated in the track and field finals!

Even the officials sent by the IAAF to oversee the holding of the grand prix couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Your sister... the level of competitors in this Grand Prix is ​​no worse than the level of participating in the track and field finals!No wonder the IAAF plans to directly upgrade the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix to a tour next year!This attraction is too amazing...

Finally, due to the large number of registered participants, the organizing committee extended the competition schedule of this Grand Prix from one day to two days after urgent discussions with the IAAF.Change to the first day of preliminaries and the second day of finals.This decision also made everyone happy.

In terms of competition items, Guo Zizhao is not good at occupying all the items this time.After all, a lot of people have been invited to cheer you on, and if you abuse them again, it feels a bit insincere.Therefore, Guo Zizhao just chose to participate in the most influential men's 100-meter sprint.

……

On September 9, the first Shanghai International Athletics Gold Grand Prix officially kicked off at the Shanghai Stadium.

Just the day before, dozens of top international track and field masters appeared at the press conference and pre-competition carnival, which not only allowed the entire international track and field world to see the great momentum of the competition, but also attracted domestic media reporters and spectators. They were blinded.

Guo Zizhao, Liu Feifei, Green, Gatling, Gay, Powell, Johnson, Dukure, Trammel, Arnold, Spielmon, Bekele, Phillips, Isinbayeva, Guevara, Muto La and other top international masters, of course, there are also first-class domestic masters such as Chen Haijian, Yang Yaozhou, Xu Ziyu, Shi Dongpeng, Ji Weiwei, Hu Kai, and Wen Yongyi.

For this grand prix, the national track and field team also attaches great importance to it, and some key training targets are also pulled out to participate in the competition.There are not many opportunities to play against these international masters at home. Even if you just participate in the preliminaries, you can learn some experience...

Of course, the process of the game is still exciting.When the two-day race ended, Guo Zizhao still defeated Gatlin, Gay, Green, Powell and others who had just returned from injury with a time of 9 seconds, and easily won the men's 73-meter championship.

In the men's 110-meter hurdles event, Liu Feifei, who had been recuperating for nearly a month, lived up to expectations. He defeated old rivals such as Johnson, Doucouré and Trammell in a time of 13 seconds, and won the championship. In the bag.

In the men's 200-meter event, Gay showed off his power this time, beating Gatlin, Spiemon and Bolt and other small partners with a time of 19 seconds.

Of course, in other events, the overlords of their respective international competitions also recklessly won the championships, dedicating wonderful performances to the audience.

The performance of other Chinese athletes is still the same as before. Although there are occasional bright spots in individual events, the overall strength is still obviously insufficient.However, it is also a good learning process for young players to be able to play against so many international masters with the advantage of the home court.

……

After the lively grand prix in Shanghai ended, Guo Zizhao also returned to Rongcheng, taking a rare adjustment and rest.

Although Guo Zizhao didn't have too much pressure on the competition and training in the past three months, running around outside is not as comfortable as at home!

At the East Asian Games at the end of September, Guo Zizhao did not participate again. With this wave of young players from the national team, it is no problem to compete at this level.But at the 9th National Games held in Jiangsu Province on October 10, Guo Zizhao could not escape.

It took another half a month. After Guo Zizhao went out to win 6 individual gold medals for Shuchuan Province, this year's competition tasks were finally over.

Although Guo Zizhao did not participate in many competitions this year, he still occupied the top position in the world rankings by virtue of his performance of winning every game.

In the next month or so, apart from spending time with his family and teasing his cousin and Brother Song's little bun, Guo Zizhao basically spent the rest of his time with Sister Tao.Of course, getting along during this period of time also made the relationship between the two of them heat up sharply, and they almost missed each other...

And in the first ten days of December, Guo Zizhao's training camp for top international masters again attracted the attention of all men's 12-meter hurdles players.

In addition to Dukulei, Johnson, Liu Feifei, Trammell, Arnold, Richardson and others who performed well in this year's international competitions, who came as scheduled, Shi Dongpeng, Roberts, Oliver, Merritt and others also once again Gather together.

These rookies performed well in this year's international arena, and they all broke into the top [-]. Next year will be the key for them to hit a higher ranking again.

But this year, Guo Zizhao did not invite any unknown newcomers. These people alone are enough to dominate the 110-meter hurdles in the international field for several years. Let's wait for other newcomers...
