On May 16, the 6th World Sports Lawrence Awards was held in Estoril, Portugal.
"Next I announce that the winner of the 6th World Sports Lawrence Award Best Newcomer Award is..." The guest stood in front of the microphone with a smile. He looked at the card in his hand and the audience under the stands, and then again I looked at the card in my hand and stopped for a few seconds before continuing to say:
"Zhang Guan!"
Zhang Guan immediately stood up with a surprised expression on his face. He always thought that Phelps had a greater chance. He didn't expect the final selection committee to choose himself.
Zhang Guan did not know that Phelps was elected because of the judges’ concerns about the US stimulant scandal, and the US stimulant scandal was caused by Kondo Turtle, but Kondo Turtle was to check Zhang Guan. The roots came out of Zhang Guan again, which seemed to be a ring, starting with him and ending with him.
A few hours ago, when Zhang Guan and Sharapova appeared together, all the media caused bystanders to take photos, but no reporter would think about it. In this kind of public event, especially the award ceremony, it is normal for the stars to walk the red carpet together. Some media even speculate that Sharapova chose to walk the red carpet with Zhang Guan because Zhang Guan is tall enough. Others The athletes present were not as tall as Sharapova, and they were not coordinated standing together.
Lawrence's awards ceremony attracted many stars, especially those living in Europe. For example, Beckham did not receive any nominations, but he still brought his wife who had just given birth to the scene.
Most of the media just expressed regret that Phelps failed to win the award. But no one questioned Zhang Guan. After all, Zhang Guan's achievements are equally convincing, and it is reasonable to win the newcomer award.
After the Lawrence Awards ceremony, Zhang Guan and Sharapova flew to Paris, France. Sharapova is preparing to participate in the French Open next week.
...
The Lawrence Award is very influential in European and American countries. The awards ceremony of each Lawrence Award will not only attract many big-name athletes, but also many movie stars and singers.
In China, the influence of the Lawrence Award is more general. Dayao also won the Lawrence Award two years ago, but there are not many reports in China. Ordinary people don't care much about the awards and prizes athletes receive. They only care about the athletes' achievements. For example, a certain game won the championship, a certain event broke the record and so on.
Therefore, after the news that Zhang Guan won the Lawrence Award was sent back to China, most of the media just sent a short message, and at most a picture was added, and the gold content of this award is generally not recognized in China. At present, various domestic sports associations are still in the state of closing their doors to run their own games, and wait until the future Chinese sports gradually move to the world. Everyone will slowly realize the influence and value of these sports awards.
On May 23, the French Tennis Open officially began, Zhang Guan personally cheered for Sharapova. The four major tennis open matches would have attracted many celebrities from all walks of life to watch, coupled with Zhang Guan's low-key dress, so no one noticed that Zhang Guan arrived on the scene.
Sharapova's performance at the French Open can't be said to be bad, it's just that his luck is more general, and he met Justin Haining in the quarterfinals. This session of the French Open Haining can be said to be in good condition. It can really be said that people block the killing Buddha and kill the Buddha. In the end, Sharapova lost to Haining in the quarter-finals, and Haining killed all the way to the end. French Open champion.
As for the sent by the field management center, Zhang Guan simply reported him a Paris tour group, and then gave him three days of French Open tickets. This guy traveled free to Paris’s major attractions for three days. Exciting game of the Grand Slam. I am naturally happy in my heart, so I am willing to stay in Paris.
But the good times always go so fast, this couple of star athletes, finally have to be separated temporarily.
Sharapova leaned lazily in Zhang Guan's arms and fed a cherry to Zhang Guan. At the same time, she said, "I'm going to the UK tomorrow to participate in the dfs elite in Birmingham."
"Have you never heard of this game, and there are a lot of prizes?" Zhang Guan asked.
"No, mainly the venue. The Birmingham Classic is the grass." Sharapova said.
Zhang Guan immediately understood that Sharapova was preparing for the upcoming Wimbledon.
Wimbledon has a special meaning for Sharapova. Last year, Sharapova won the Wimbledon championship. This is the first Grand Slam in her life, and this year, she will defend the championship. The posture appeared on Wimbledon, so Sharapova took Wimbledon very seriously this time. At the same time, Wimbledon's playing field is grass, so Sharapova will choose the Birmingham Classic to adapt to the grass game in advance.
"Then I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore. I have to go back to China." Zhang Guan spit out the cherry seeds, and then said: "On the day of Wimbledon, I happened to participate in the track and field preliminaries of the 10th National Games, and then it was the Golden League. Series and then the East Asian Games, I might be busy until the end of the year."
"Oh..." Sharapova looked disappointed.
"But at the end of the year, there will be no track and field events. I will go to the United States to find you." Get along with time.
...
According to the original arrangement, in early June, the track and field team will send people to the United States for a visit and study to see what the world's most advanced track and field training looks like. It can be said to be a classics trip. And Liu Feiren and Zhang Guan will also go with the team, and will participate in the Prefontaine Track and Field Classic and Reebok Track and Field Grand Prix. Both of these events are not within the IAAF’s plan, but are American track and field events, which can be said to be part of the commercialization of American sports. The Athletics Association also wants to continue these two games to examine how the United States operates in the commercialization of sports and see if domestic track and field competitions can learn from this American commercialization model.
With the outbreak of the US doping scandal, this trip was cancelled. I had planned to learn the most advanced track and field system in the world. But what to learn now? How to learn Americans to use stimulants without being detected?
Therefore, Zhang Guan stayed in the training base for peace of mind, preparing to participate in the qualifiers for the 10th National Games on June 20th.
...
Athens, June 14, IAAF Super Grand Prix, Athens. Men's 100m finals.
Powell stood on the runway, staring straight at the finish line, revealing a determination.
In the Czech Republic, the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Ostrava five days ago, Powell set the best result of his personal career: 9.85 seconds, but at that time Powell did not try his best.
And today. Powell seemed to feel the state of the game when he was in the Czech Republic five days ago, even better than that day!
"Come on quickly, the game will come on quickly! Let me make a good fight! I can't wait!" Powell murmured in his heart, he felt his heart beating continuously, as if he was a fighter in battle. He was excited before hearing the drums of the battle. At the same time, his body was already excited, and every breath would make him feel the trembling of the body, ready to take off.
Finally, Powell stood on the starting block, and he finally waited until the game began.
The gunshots sounded, he began to accelerate, he started running. He started to sprint, he felt very happy, he felt that every joint, every muscle, every cell of the body was full of power!
"I can go faster! I can go faster! I can do it! I can do it!" Powell's arms swayed more and more powerful, and each time his legs slammed on the ground, his explosive power was maximized. He did not pay attention to the situation of other athletes, in his eyes, only the finish.
Finally, Powell crossed the line, accompanied by. The audience screamed like mountains and tsunami.
As if Powell realized something, he looked back at the timer, then opened his mouth and shouted loudly
At 9.77 seconds, Powell ran into 9.8 seconds. After five days, he once again created his personal best.
This is the first result of this year within 9.8 seconds. If it is before the Athens Olympics, it will be a new world record, but now it is still the second best result in history, which is 9.76 seconds from Zhang Guan’s world record. Only 0.01 seconds left, just one step away.
Powell yelled, roared, and vented excitedly. He knew that he had caught up with Zhang Guan's footsteps. Next, he would challenge Zhang Guan's world record. He was confident that he could beat Zhang Guan!
In the news interview after the game, Powell even said his heart to the camera without hesitation.
"Yes, very excited, very excited, but I think I can be faster!"
"World record? Of course, I still have 0.01 seconds left, but I believe that I have the ability to break the world record held by Zhang Guan!"
"Yes, you are right, I am looking forward to meeting Zhang Guan again on the field! At that time, I will challenge him! Challenge the fastest person in the world, I look forward to this day. "
"Will Zhang Guan not participate in the next IAAF Zagreb Grand Prix? What about the Golden League? Zhang Guan will participate in the Golden League? That's great. I still can't wait for half a month! "
...
The next day, the European media, like a brown bear smelling honey, began to irritate. Jamaican trapeze Asafa Powell set a good result of 9.77 seconds in Athens, only 0.01 seconds away from the world record, and more importantly, he challenged Zhang Guan!
Who is the fastest person in the world? Zhang Guan? Or Powell? If you look at it from your personal best score, it must be Zhang Guan, but Powell's state has recently burst, and the speed of performance improvement is more like a rocket. Everyone can see that Powell's limit is not here.
And Zhang Guan, although extremely dazzling in the indoor competition in February, he only participated in one IAAF Osaka Grand Prix this year. Although he defeated Gatling and won the championship, it is compared with Powell’s 9.77 In terms of seconds, Zhang Guan's performance this year is still a bit far behind. Although everyone knows that 19-year-old Zhang Guan is also promising, at least from the current state, Powell seems to be better.
Powell's challenge to Zhang Guan was quickly caught up in the media, and when the IAAF Golden League kicked off on July 1, it was the moment of the duel between the two, which is only half a month away. The whole of Europe, or the whole world who loves track and field, is looking forward to that day, looking forward to the battle for the world's first flying man!
The IAAF welcomes the hype of the battle for "the world's first trapeze", and even secretly boosts the Americans because of the stimulant thing, they can't count on it, and they lack the American muscle sticks. This year The 100-meter trapeze battle of the Golden League seems to lack a lot of attention. The IAAF urgently needs an event to make the world pay attention to the upcoming IAAF Golden League. So the next encounter between Zhang Guan and Powell was even crowned as the "First Tramp Race" by the Golden League.
The mainstream public opinion in Europe is looking forward to the duel between the two, but some people who do not like Zhang Guan jumped out at this time and began to sing Zhang Guan, such as the famous British sports critic Eriksson. Eriksson felt that his face was not hurt enough at the Olympic Games, and he stood up decisively again to prepare for a fight.
The British "Guardian" published a commentary of the famous "Zhang Guanhei" Eriksson: Powell ran a good result of 9.77 seconds. I think this is reasonable, this is a reasonable process. It can be seen from Powell's past results that he has been making progress. As for Zhang Guan, I admit that he achieved good results last year, but his rise is really too sudden. During the Athens Olympics in the group, he suddenly appeared without any signs. This is true in any sports. Not common sense. So I always think that Zhang Guan is only a short-lived one. He had good luck in the second half of last year and the beginning of this year, but luck cannot always accompany him for a lifetime. Look at this year’s IAAF Osaka Grand Prix. Although he defeated Gatt Lin, but the victory is so difficult. The two won't be the winner until the end. This shows that Zhang Guan's luck is running out. I think he will soon show his true form! As for the competition for the world's first trapeze, I think Powell's victory is only a matter of time.
...
"Powell challenges Zhang Guan! 》
Zhang Gua looked at the striking headline in the newspaper and frowned slightly.
"9.77 seconds, Powell really ran out 9.77 seconds this year. In the next three years, Powell is probably my biggest opponent. I have to keep improving, otherwise I will really be caught by this guy."
Zhang Guan stood up, threw the newspaper, picked up the luggage and went out.
Next, he is going to participate in the preliminaries of the 10th National Games. (To be continued.)
