In the field management center, Director Ma is surrounded by a pile of documents, and at this time, the phone sounds.
"Director Ma, this is old Lu. I have something to report to you about Zhang Guan." Secretary-General Lu's voice came from the telephone receiver.
"Oh, have you negotiated with Zhang Guan?" Director Ma asked in anticipation.
"No, not yet." Secretary-General Lu said.
"I haven't talked yet!" Director Ma thought for a while and then asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"It's not difficult to talk about it. I was going to talk to Zhang Guan, but I encountered some emergencies and I don't know where to start." Secretary-General Lu said slightly embarrassedly.
Director Ma was surprised, he knew the ability of Secretary General Lu. If even the old instructor General Secretary Lu encountered difficulties, it would be really difficult.
So Director Ma asked, "What happened to your side?"
"Director Ma, our previous plan was to prepare Zhang Guan to retreat. But in the men's 10,000 match that just ended, Zhang Guan won the championship!" Secretary-General Lu said.
"Won the championship? This is what I expected. Zhang Guan is after all the highest level athlete in the world. Even if he is not a long-distance runner, it is normal to get a long-distance national champion, even if he reaches the Olympic A standard. "I don't think it's strange." Director Ma's tone was quite calm, and he continued: "But even if he won the championship, we have to talk to him! Let's say it is not good, a domestic champion in the long-distance race, In the Olympics, even a fart is not counted!"
"Uh, in fact, Zhang Guan's performance this time is still very good." Secretary-General Lu said.
"Good results will not allow him to participate in long-distance running! Zhang Guan is capable, maybe after a period of training, he can get a long-distance world championship or something, but now less than four months away from the opening of the Olympics, At this time, where is the time to train long-distance running! This distant water can not quench the thirst." Director Ma continued.
"Zhang Guan ran for 27 minutes." Secretary General Lu said.
"27 minutes is a good result, but..." Director Ma stopped suddenly, and then his voice rose a few points: "27 minutes? 10,000 meters? 27 minutes! How is this possible! Old Lu, are you kidding me?"
"This kind of thing, how can I make a joke." Secretary-General Lu's tone was somewhat helpless.
"27 minutes, faster than the Olympic record, Zhang Guan could run so fast!" Director Ma still felt incredible, he even pinched the palm of his hand secretly, making sure he was not dreaming.
"Isn't it! If I didn't see the other players being lapped by him for several laps, I don't believe it! 27 minutes, even if it is placed in the Olympics, I should be able to win a gold medal. Now I am in a dilemma The original prepared utterances are all useless! So I will ask you to report them." Secretary-General Lu said.
Director Ma laughed helplessly.
"This Zhang Guan... Hey! Forget it, old Lu, don't go to him anymore. When he comes back, I will talk to him personally!" Director Ma said.
...
The next day, Zhang Guan participated in the men's 5,000-meter competition.
This time, Zhang Guan did not use the technique of
fixed speed running
all the way. After all, in the 5000-meter race, even domestic players will spend less than 15 minutes. If Zhang Guan runs at two fixed speeds in a row, Will continue to go around for six or seven minutes after the game.
So Zhang Guan first used a three-minute follow-up run, and then used a fixed speed run to complete the 5,000-meter race. His final score was 13 minutes and 02 seconds.
The national record for men’s 5,000 meters is 13 minutes and 25 seconds, which is not even achieved by the Olympic A standard of 13 minutes and 20 seconds. At that time, Beckler's 5000-meter Olympic record was 12 minutes and 57 seconds. At the current level of world-class athletes, 13 minutes and 02 seconds is also enough to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
In comparison, 5000 meters is not as popular as 10000 meters. For long-distance runners, 10000 meters is the main item, and 5000 meters can only be regarded as a minor item. There are few full-time 5,000-meter athletes in the world, and most of them are run by 10,000-meter or 3,000-meter obstacle racers.
In addition to 5000 meters, Zhang Guan also participated in the final of the long jump event in the afternoon. After two test jumps, Zhang Guan jumped out of an 8.33-meter result and reached the Olympic A standard of 8.2 meters. He immediately ended his work and gave up the next four test jumps.
...
A week later, Zhang Guan appeared in Director Ma's office again.
"Director Ma, look at my achievements in the long-distance running event, is it still acceptable?" Zhang Guan looked at Director Ma with a grinning smile.
Director Ma showed a helpless expression, but did not know how to answer.
Running 10000 meters for 27 minutes, 5000 meters, 13 minutes and 02 seconds, these are all gold medals that can be won in the Olympic Games. Since Zhang Guan has shown the strength of the gold medal, Director Ma is really not good to make excuses to prevent Zhang Guan. Participate in the Olympic Games long-distance race.
"What the do you think, give up the sprint you are best at and instead go to the long-distance race?" Director Ma asked.
"Actually, the schedule is forced. You know, I have to participate in several other events, such as tennis, boxing, and field bike racing. It is not a game that can determine the outcome. Come It’s better to go back and forth a few times. If I take part in the sprint, I’m afraid that there will be a conflict in time. So I simply choose long-distance running. After all, there is no preliminaries, semi-finals and semi-finals in the long-distance running. There will be conflict." Zhang Guan said.
"I think you still think about it. After all, you have never participated in an international competition in long-distance running. In sprinting, you are the world record holder, and you must have a psychological advantage." Director Ma said.
"The world record holder is not only a psychological advantage, but also a psychological pressure." Zhang Guan smiled, then said: "Actually, I participated in the Olympic long-distance race, it is also a good thing for our field management center. . Haven’t our country never won the gold medal for the Olympic long-distance running? I am going to fill this gap!"
Director Ma's brow furrowed. Apparently Zhang Guan's last sentence had impressed him.
For the three short-distance events and the two middle-distance events, Zhang Guan once won the gold medal for the national team, but the long-distance event did not. Moreover, the Chinese team has never won an Olympic gold medal in the men’s long-distance race.
If Zhang Guan can win the gold medal for the Chinese team's long-distance running event, it is equivalent to filling a gap in China's track and field and a major breakthrough in track and field results!
Director Ma certainly understands this point. Zhang Guan can participate in the Olympic Games for three consecutive championships at 100 meters; Zhang Guan can also participate in the Olympic Games for two consecutive championships in sprinting and middle-distance running. In comparison, the long-distance gold medal is much more valuable to the national team.
Whether it is two consecutive championships or three consecutive championships, it is just "the icing on the cake", and the defending champion wins again, there is nothing strange.
However, the Olympic gold medal of the long-distance event is "from scratch", which is fundamentally different. The words "filling gaps" and "historical breakthroughs" can directly reflect political achievements, whether they are writing annual summaries or writing reports.
"This year's Zhang Guan's participation is limited. The number of gold medals in track and field will definitely shrink by half. I was still wondering how to explain to them. If I can get a gold medal in the long-distance race, the number of gold medals will shrink. Both leaders and ordinary people prefer the words "fill in the blanks." Moreover, Zhang Zhang's results should be able to get the Olympic gold medal for long-distance running!" Director Ma's thoughts became active.
...
When Zhang Guan left Director Ma's office, he had already obtained the right to participate in the Olympic Games 5000 meters and 10000 meters.
"In this way, all the qualifications for the 10 projects this time are all settled!" Zhang Guan couldn't help looking at the West involuntarily.
There are 100 days left before the opening of the London Olympics... (Unfinished to be continued.)
