Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 99 World Indoor Athletics Championships

As a top event organized by the IAAF, although the status of the World Indoor Track and Field Championships cannot be compared with the Olympic Track and Field Championships and the World Track and Field Championships, this event is still known as the three major events in the world of track and field along with the other two events.Teams from various countries attach more importance to it than the Athletics World Cup.

3月3日，国家田径队一行顺利到达了日本前桥市。3月5日-7日，第七届世界室内田径锦标赛将会在前桥市的绿色体育馆举行。这是世界室内田径锦标赛首次在欧洲或北美以外举行。

There are not many members of the national track and field team participating this time, and only Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao have met the registration requirements for the men's sprint event.Wen Dahai's performance after his comeback has been poor due to injuries in the first half of last year.Although I took part in several international indoor competitions a few years ago, I failed to reach the standard before the registration deadline and lost the qualification for this competition.This time, Chen Yanhao exploded unexpectedly under the stimulation of Guo Zizhao.It was a pleasant surprise to narrowly cross the threshold of the A standard of the Indoor World Championships in the European Indoor Championships last month.In the women's sprint event, Li Xuemei was the only one who reached the standard.It can be seen that the competitiveness of the national track and field team in the international arena has also gradually weakened in recent years.

Since the Chinese team participated in the Indoor World Championships, the third Indoor World Championships in 1991 has won the most medals.At that time, the Chinese team achieved the best results in history with 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.However, in the following several indoor world championships, the Chinese team only won one bronze medal each time.

What is even more speechless is that all the medals in the Indoor World Championships won in these years were all won by women's field events.Both the track events and the men's events were nothing, and it was a shame.In the world of field and field, the influence of men's events is far greater than that of women's events, and the influence of track events is far greater than that of field events.Therefore, with only a few field medals in women's events, such a Chinese track and field team will never be able to gain a foothold in the world track and field.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao has a heavy burden this time.The Chinese team's first hope of hitting a medal in the men's track event fell on Guo Zizhao.

……

On the 4th, the national team went to the competition venue for simple warm-up and suitability training.After the mobilization meeting in the evening, Zhang Peng, Song Ping and others also came to Guo Zizhao's room together.

"This is the list of participants and the grouping situation I got from the organizing committee." Zhang Peng took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Song Ping and his father, "This time Guo Zizhao's opponents are not easy! Basically famous Famous sprinters are here to compete this time.”

"Well, it's a lot of pressure." Song Ping sighed while looking at the schedule, "My schedule is 60 meters. Green, Montgomery, Bolton, Papadias and others are all here. Tsk, tsk... These are all runners who can run under 6 seconds, and they are all strong contenders for the championship."

Dad also opened his eyes wide and flipped through the 60-meter hurdles schedule in his hand.Well, I didn't know any English names, so I had to hand them to Song Ping embarrassingly.

"Well, Lao Guo, you have to familiarize yourself with the names of these foreigners. Otherwise, what will you do in the future?" Song Ping also teased his father.

"These weird letters, it recognizes me, but I don't recognize it! It looks similar to pinyin, but it doesn't sound right." Dad Guo Sheng also said depressed, "When I was studying in a correspondence university, I didn't ask for it. Learn this. Now it seems that we are still behind."

"Haha...it's actually not that difficult. It's just a matter of memorizing a few names. When you get familiar with them, you'll remember them. It's okay in the future. I'll make a list of famous foreign sprinters for you recently. You can read more. familiar."

"Then it's easy, lest I come out like I'm blind and don't know anything." Dad also smiled cheerfully.

"Well, there are quite a few masters in the 60-meter hurdles! Johnson, Jackson, Garcia and others are all likely to win the championship. These are also players who can run within 7 seconds." Song Ping watched Shaking his head, "Xiao Guo, these are all stumbling blocks on your way forward. As long as you perform normally, you will have no problem entering the finals. If you want to fight for a medal, it depends on luck."

"Well," Guo Zizhao nodded, "I will try my best, as long as I can perform at a normal level. I am very relaxed, don't worry, I'm fine."

Guo Zizhao himself knew very well that what Song Ping said was right, he would have no problem entering the final at his own level.But if you want to hit a medal, it really depends on luck.

别看自己现在是60米和60米栏的亚洲纪录保持者。6秒50的60米成绩和7秒52的60米栏成绩，在世界范围内也算是一流的了。但是，这可是自己在没有世界顶级高手的压制下跑出来的啊。等到了室内世锦赛的决赛赛场上，自己的“状态值”肯定会到受影响的。

Although I have become a training madman during this period of time, and have tortured myself for nearly half a month, I have completely integrated the "precision" attribute. The attribute of "precision" has also been successfully raised to the level of a second-level athlete with 57 points, which is also an increase of 8 points compared with the Moscow indoor competition.But if the "state value" is severely suppressed, the improvement of the "accurate" attribute will have little impact on the performance.

所以郭子昭估计，自己的决赛成绩，60米应该在6秒50至6秒55之间，而60米栏的成绩应该在7秒52至7秒56之间。成绩差距是在0.05秒左右浮动。但是在这种高水平的比赛中，前几名之间的差距也就是在0.05秒左右。所以说，想要去拿个奖牌还真得看运气了。

. . . . . .

On the morning of the 5th, the [-]th World Indoor Athletics Championships officially kicked off.

今天郭子昭要参加三场比赛，上午的60米预赛、下午60米半决赛和60米栏的预赛。明天上午是60米决赛、下午60米栏的半决赛和晚上60米栏的决赛。郭子昭对于一天三赛倒是毫不在意，毕竟自己有“体力药剂”在手，这些都不是事。

In the 60-meter preliminaries that morning, Guo Zizhao's team did not have any famous masters.Guo Zizhao's "stamina value" and "state value" are both above 80, which can explain the problem.However, Guo Zizhao still used "powerful primary high-frequency running shoes" just in case. It's only 10 experience points, it would be embarrassing to lose Jingzhou carelessly.The final result was just as Guo Zizhao expected, at 6 seconds, Guo Zizhao qualified as the first in the group.

In the 60m semi-final in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao unexpectedly found himself in a group with American player Maurice Green.This is the favorite to win the championship...

I rely on! ...

Looking at the "stamina value" of only 80 and the "status value" of 73, Guo Zizhao shook his head again and again.Could it be that this is the strength of the top international players? This suppression is too great.Since I reached the top of the domestic competition, I have never encountered such a low "state value", amazing, amazing!If it reached the finals, wouldn't it be even lower...

No way, add equipment!

Guo Zizhao immediately felt refreshed as soon as he used the "Physical Potion" and "Status Potion".Well, the medicine is still powerful!However, I have to hurry up and adapt to the aura of these masters.There are a lot of opportunities to compete with them this year. The support of medicine alone is not enough. The key is to rely on your own "spirit" to be strong...

不过就算如此，郭子昭在比赛中照样不是格林的对手。60米的距离很短，郭子昭拼尽了全力也仅仅和格林僵持了近50米的距离。但是在最后的10米上，还是被格林拉开了一个多身位。最后以6秒52的成绩获得了小组的No.2。

The advantages of black athletes in sprint events are indeed obvious, especially the explosive power in the back leg is even more frightening.It was the first time Guo Zizhao played against such a top black player, and he could clearly feel the gap between himself and him.If you change to "powerful primary stride running shoes", you may be able to barely keep up with the opponent's footsteps in the later stage.But in this case, I will be pulled down too much in the early stage because the frequency is too slow, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Well, it seems that if I want to surpass such a player, I still have a long way to go.Not to mention that a few years later, you will meet the terrifying demon king "Lightning" Bolt, that is an inhuman existence...

There is a long way to go...

……

Although he lost to Green, Guo Zizhao entered the men's 60-meter final with the second place in the group and the fourth place overall.Such a result made everyone in the Chinese team feel excited.This is the first time the Chinese team has appeared in the final of the sprint event of the Indoor World Championships!
All the team members came to congratulate Guo Zizhao, but before Guo Zizhao could say a word, they were stopped by head coach Zhang Peng. "What are you doing? What are you going to do? If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the race tonight! What about you, Guo Zizhao! Hurry up and let Xiao Song give you a massage. There is still one hour left for the 60-meter hurdles preliminaries. It's time. Be careful not to get hurt..."

"Oh...here we come." Guo Zizhao twisted his neck in an unsatisfactory manner, walked over and lay down in front of Song Guowei obediently, "Brother Song, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What's the trouble? This is my job. You paid me to come here to do the job of the team doctor." Song Guowei turned around and handed Guo Zizhao's equipment bag to his father. He put a towel on Guo Zizhao while happily Said, "Xiao Guo, let me know if there is any wrong reaction later. This time, I am participating in an international competition, which is different from usual. I will beat a few foreign devils later, and make money for us Chinese. !"

"no problem."

……

An hour later, Guo Zizhao happily walked off the field again. The time of 7 seconds ensured that Guo Zizhao once again stepped into the semi-finals of the 55-meter hurdles as the first in the group.

But it didn't take long for news to spread that Chen Yanhao from the other group was eliminated. The score of 7 seconds 67 only ranked fourth in the group and missed the semi-finals.In addition, Li Xuemei, the women's 60-meter runner who was eliminated in the morning, only Guo Zizhao is the only sprinter left in the Chinese team this time.

Alas... fighting alone!

Our national track and field team is still not strong enough... Guo Zizhao complained silently, probably he will have to fight alone for a long time!
However, only in this way can I show how powerful I am, haha...

　The second update today.Continue tomorrow.I hope you will support me a lot.
