After ending the World Cup track and field journey, Zhang Guan returned to the country with the national team, but Zhang Guan did not immediately rest. He just met with Sharapova in a hurry and left the capital non-stop, rushing to the Xinzhuang base to continue Training to prepare for this year's Golden Track and Field Grand Prix.
Last year’s first track and field gold grand prix was held very successfully, while the second grand prix this year, the organizer’s organizational experience and coordination ability have also been greatly enhanced, and the order of the entire event is more methodical.
This year's Golden Grand Prix deliberately added a 200-meter event, which was specially created for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan still has to participate in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 400-meter and long jump competitions. The organizer also specially created a "king of the world sprint" trophy, ready to be awarded to Zhang Guan after the game.
In terms of athletes, there are also some big players. In the 100-meter project, Powell and Obick Viru both participated in the competition. Tyson Guy in the 200-meter project and Varina still did not come in the 400-meter project, but Merritt and Blackwood are two big names Players came to participate. As for the long jump event, the well-known one is Wallace Phillips, who was not in good shape this year.
Therefore, Zhang Guan won the championship of 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and long jump without suspense, and also won the "trophy of the king of the world sprint."
The day after the Golden Grand Prix ended, Zhang Guan rushed to the capital to find Sharapova, and it was on this day that the Chinese Open game ended, and Sharapova continued the good state of the US Open. , Won the championship in the "home".
Because of "Zhang Guan's girlfriend" status, the current China Open is simply Sharapova's home field. Sharapova's popularity is already very high, plus the audience's love for Zhang Guan and Wu, Sharapo The baby is even more popular than several golden flowers in the country, especially in the last game between her and Maurice Moss, the audience is simply one-sided support for Sharapova. Maurice Mo was originally a relatively slow-heated athlete, and encountered the situation that the audience supported the opponent, but became more slowly and warmed up. Sharapova was taken away by 2:0.
For Zhang Guan, this year's special track and field competition is now over, and there are two months before the Asian Games in Doha in December. Zhang Guan also got a short vacation and can travel around the mountain with Sharapova Play with water.

Field Management Center.
Director Ma's expression was a bit melancholy. At the end of the meeting of the center, Qu's president of the association also attended. At the same time, director Luo also read out an appointment document from the association and announced that Qu would also serve as the executive deputy director of the center. Reminiscent of the rumor that Director Luo was going to be promoted before, the participants all understood that Chairman Qu was here to pick up Director Luo's class.
As Director Gui is about to retire, Director Luo will also be transferred away. Both of them have worked with Director Ma for many years. Now they have to leave. Director Ma feels quite unpleasant.
At this moment, knocking on the door sounded, Director Ma didn't have time to answer, he saw Director Luo directly pushed the door in.
"Director." Director Ma stood up, and Director Luo was polite, sitting on the sofa, so Director Ma also came over and sat on the sofa next to him.
Just listen to Director Luo’s remarks:
I’m coming to you to talk about things that are too old to retire. I’m 60 years old at the end of the year. This retirement is a policy set by the state. We must definitely implement it seriously. Retirement is not possible. But there must be no problem with re-employment. There are still two years to come in the next Olympics. How can I let the old one bring the Olympics to the past. This old one is no problem!"
Director Ma shook his head: "It must be no problem. Although the old man is now 60 years old, he is stronger than the average guy. It is estimated that those young people who work all day can't run past him."
"That's good!" Director Luo thought for a while, and then said: "Lao Ma, if there is any need or difficulty for the track and field team recently, please give me as much as possible. I can solve it and I will help you. solved."
Director Ma immediately understood what Director Luo meant. Director Luo wanted to help himself again before he was transferred away. Director Luo is still the director of the field management center, so he can still meet some of the requirements of the track and field team. If the next leader takes office, it will be difficult to say what the situation is.
Director Ma hesitated and asked, "Is the time set?"
"Finished, after the Asian Games!" Director Luo took a deep breath, and then said: "The organization is also very trusting to me, let me continue to lead the team to participate in this Asian Games, it is also considered the final part Answer!"
Director Ma thought for a while, lowered his voice, and then said: "There is one more thing, I have to discuss it with you first. I heard that President Qu had always opposed Zhang Guan's establishment of a team of brokers to independently operate commercial value. Development, then if he is going to take back Zhang Guan’s commercial value development rights, then it will be really troublesome. Zhang Guan’s child, I know, looks young, but he is more stubborn than anyone else, and I worry that the two will not give in to each other. what!"
"This is really a very troublesome problem." Director Luo also frowned: "Our national conditions are different from foreign countries. If they are placed abroad, athletes are less restricted, but in our country, even if they are world champions, Still want to bow your head."
"Yeah, that’s what I worry about. If it’s other athletes, what we’re talking about in the center, even if there is resistance in our hearts, we still have to be obedient. And Zhang Guanman has only been practicing for three years, and he’s not traditional. The athletes trained in the system have no awe of the traditional system. And more importantly, Zhang Guan’s achievements now, the world record holders of the three sprint events! It is already unprecedented... hey... …
Director Ma said here and sighed helplessly.
Director Luo also fell into silence. Under the domestic sports system, fame and achievements are not death-free gold medals. Sometimes the management agency needs not an athlete who can achieve results, but an athlete who is obedient and obedient. In the view of those traditional ideas, it is a matter of course for athletes to obediently obey, and if they are not obedient, they should be punished.
This kind of ideology has been slowly formed for a long time. In the past, there was no commercial sports. Professional athletes, like state-owned enterprise workers, received monthly wages. At that time, the purpose of athletes was also very simple. Of course, there were no economic interests that could be taken into consideration at that time. After the athletes retire, they are also assigned to work. As an athlete in that era, as long as they don’t make mistakes, they don’t have to worry about life. If many children in rural areas can become athletes, it means that they can become civil servants or workers in the future, and they can get their dream "urban hukou" and eat the so-called "treasury grain".
Therefore, under that kind of system, athletes must be obedient. If athletes dare not obey, suspension of training, dismissal, and even the distribution of work after retirement, there will be no guarantee of life for the rest of their lives. And the management organization has gradually developed the traditional thought that you must listen to me when speaking.
But the current situation is different from the past. Athletes in the past have to rely on the traditional system, and now well-known athletes have received several advertisements for several years of income. Sometimes a big endorsement is enough for the athletes to spend the rest of their lives. Athletes find that they can live well without relying on the system.
Although many management agencies are slowly advancing with the times, many management agencies still use old traditional ideas to manage, and of course some conflicts will inevitably erupt.
However, when the contradiction really breaks out, there must be a failure or a compromise. However, from the current situation, the one who fails or actively chooses to compromise is an athlete.
In the conflict between the two sides, the regulatory agencies have too many practical weapons, such as various types of punishments, suspensions, media blockades and blackmails, bans on going abroad, expulsion, etc., and athletes may only have a reputation for honor. Reasoning this kind of thing has always been nothing more than an empty talk of an ideal person who has not been involved in the world. Even if everyone is sympathetic to you, it is still useless. "Sympathy" is just pale and powerless in front of realistic means.
In fact, there are not many examples of star-level athletes antagonizing regulatory agencies, and there are only a few examples that can be thought of. Under the domestic athlete selection system, through the selection and training of sports teams at all levels, county, city, and province sports teams, those so-called "thorns" have already kicked out the athletes' team, and some are left behind. People who are willing to obey.
Director Luo and Director Ma are very worried. Once Zhang Guan and Director Qu have contradictions, Zhang Guan will misjudge the situation and naively think that relying on his "fame" and "achievement", he can fight against Director Qu’s means. . But in fact, what he needs to confront is not just a music director, but a traditional management idea, against everyone who has the idea that "athletes will be unconditionally obedient".
After being silent for a moment, Director Luo said very confidently: "I think President Qu wouldn't do too much even if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan's achievements and fame were there, and President Qu acted When it comes, there will definitely be scruples."
"That's what I said. I hope so!" Director Ma said so arrogantly.
"Okay, old horse, don't think about it anymore. Now you should congratulate me. I'm considered to be in the ministry." Director Luo said with a smile.
"Yes, I didn't have time to congratulate you on your promotion." Director Ma also smiled.
For some vice presidents or directors of management centers, being promoted to the president of the association or transferred to other associations as presidents is a good way to promote. Director Luo has been transferred to the ministries and commissions, obviously entering the training system of reserve cadres. For the career prospects, it is much better than mixing between various sports associations.

The ancient capital of Xijing.
Sharapova, who had just visited the Terracotta Army, was excited.
There are too many attractions worth seeing in China, but for many foreigners, the natural scenery is far less attractive than places of interest. The natural scenery is given by God. There may be many similarities in the same latitude, but the places of interest are different. He represents the historical and cultural heritage, such as the Forbidden City, such as the Great Wall, such as the Terracotta Army, for foreigners. It is a must-see attraction.
"Terracotta Warriors really shocked me!" Sharapova played with the set of Terracotta Warriors souvenirs in his face with satisfaction.
"Regarding the Terracotta Army, there is actually a love story." Zhang Guan continued: "According to legend, there was a bodyguard of Qin Shihuang, named Meng Tianfang..."
Zhang Guan told Sharapova the story of the war between the ancient and modern Qin Terracotta Warriors. Among them, the bridges such as the elixir and Meng Tianfang were made into terracotta warriors and horses, which immediately attracted Sharapova.
"Oh... you said that in those terracotta warriors, no one would really be sealed inside!" Sharapova asked curiously.
"How is this possible? You just saw a lot of damaged terracotta warriors, there is nothing inside. Martha, this is just a story." Zhang Guan answered.
"Yeah... this is just a story." Sharapova's voice turned and suddenly asked: "If there is a reincarnation, will you still love me?"
"Of course!" Zhang Guan just spoke, but thought of himself in the previous life, he sighed, and then said: "Maybe if reincarnated, I might just be an ordinary person!"
"What's so bad about ordinary people! You can live an ordinary life, you can boldly do what you want to do, don't worry about the paparazzi that are sneak shots everywhere, don't even have to be careful when you talk!" Sarah Powa took a deep breath and sighed, "That's my dream of free life!"
"But it may be another way." Zhang Guan paused, and then said: "Every day in order to survive the hard work, facing the high housing prices, sighing in the face of increasing prices, and spitting in the face of increasing prices. Worrying about losing his job, repeating the same thing every day, gradually being smoothed out by life, eroding ideals, starting to look forward and backward, began to truly turn dreams into illusory dreams, and have been living in vain and do nothing... "
"I don't quite understand, why do you think so?" Sharapova added: "This is too negative."
"The reality is often the cruelest." Zhang Guan suddenly laughed: "So if I can really choose again, I think I will not be an ordinary person."
"What if you don't have a choice?" Sharapova asked a little disappointed.
Zhang Guan grabbed Sharapova in his arms, kissed Sharapova with his head tilted, and then said: "If you have no choice, try hard to make my life uncomfortable. Ordinary!" (To be continued.)
