Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!
On January 10th, the grouping of the 2008 Australian Open was officially announced. What surprised people was that the defending champion of the men’s singles and the world’s No. 1 Zhang Guan actually withdrew from the Australian Open.
The news caused a sensation in the tennis world like a thunderbolt. People are very curious why Zhang Guan, the defending champion, will withdraw from the Australian Open.
What followed was all kinds of rumors, first of all said that the injury, some said Zhang Guan's arm was injured, some said Zhang Guan's leg was injured, and some said Zhang Guan's lumbar spine was injured, Zhang Guan instantly became A man who has a long history in a martial art novel
Followed by illness, some said Zhang Guan had a cold and fever, some said Zhang Guan had gastritis and appendicitis, and even serious cases of Parkinson's and AIDS were mentioned.
There are also more unreasonable reasons, such as what was hit by the car, the crime was caught in the bureau, and was reported by the enthusiastic Chaoyang masses.
Under various rumors, the championship team and the tennis center jointly held a press conference to explain that Zhang Guan withdrew from the Australian Open to prepare for the Olympics, and said that Zhang Guan will also give up the other three majors this year. Throughout the tournament, only participate in the tennis match of the Capital Olympics.
To give up the four Grand Slam games for the Olympics, this is incredible for many people, especially professional tennis players. After all, the prize money of the four slams is very high, and the popularity of the four slams can also bring extra benefits to athletes. Especially in sports with a relatively high degree of professionalism, the Olympics are more honorable. The professional game is about his job. Participating in the four Grand Slam matches without delaying the Olympic Games, and giving up rice bowls for honor, many people do not understand Zhang Guan's choice.
Another day later, the field management center issued a press release. The theme is that Zhang Guan is about to return to track and field training in preparation for this year's Olympics. At the same time, the press release also hinted that Zhang Guan would participate in multiple Olympic track and field events.
At this time, everyone realized that Zhang Guan was really preparing for this year's Olympics, so he gave up the Grand Slam competition. Zhang Guan wants to participate in the Olympic track and field events, but also to participate in several small events. This must take a lot of time to prepare for the battle.
And some media saw the news of the Tianguan Center, and then thought of the press conference of the Tennis Center, and immediately came to a conclusion that Zhang Guan wanted to participate in the Olympic Games track and tennis two major events at the same time!
An athlete has to participate in two major events in the same Olympics! Although this happened in the early Olympics, it is in the modern Olympics. It is impossible to appear.
The participants in the early Olympics were some amateur athletes or sports enthusiasts, so the same athletes participated in two or more major events of the Olympics at the same time. However, in the modern Olympics, all athletes participate in professional athletes. Many athletes have trained for more than ten years for one Olympics, so both the competitive level and the level of competitors are unmatched in the early Olympics.
In this situation where athletes are becoming more and more "specialized", they participate in different events. For example, swimming participates in freestyle, backstroke and butterfly stroke at the same time, track and field participates in 100 meters and 200 meters at the same time, gymnastics participates in floor exercise, vaulting and rings at the same time, these are relatively common, but it is basically impossible to participate in two major events . Because you need to meet certain standards if you want to participate in the Olympic Games, it is very difficult for an athlete to meet the standards of the Olympic Games in one big event, not to mention two big events.
Zhang Guan once again violated everyone's normal cognition, he also successfully grabbed the headlines of the sports version the next day.
...
There was also intense discussion on the Internet. Some said they were optimistic about Zhang Guan, and of course they were also declining.
In a sports fan discussion group.
"Have you heard that Zhang Guan wants to participate in both Olympic track and field events?"
"Of course, today's sports media headlines are all this. The comments from the netizens below are tens of thousands!"
"You said that Zhang Guan can get several gold medals in the Olympics? I have at least four!"
"Four? You look at him too high, I think he can't even get one. Zhang Guan hasn't participated in the track and field competition for more than a year, and now he estimates that there is no competition at all. The medal is good! Maybe because of the track and field practice, the tennis is delayed again, and then the bamboo basket will be empty!"
"It's too one-sided to say so! Zhang Guan's advantages in the two projects of 100 meters and 200 meters are still very obvious. Even if the state declines, I think it should be no problem to keep the gold medal! If you add 400 meters and 800, Meters, 1500 meters, and long jumps, so many projects, it is not too much to get two or three gold medals..."
"How can Zhang Guan have so many matches alone? Physically not allowed!"
"There is absolutely no problem with physical strength. Didn't Zhang Guan participate in seven events at the same time the previous year's Asian Games? He won seven gold medals."
"These are all track and field events. Don't forget that Zhang Guan will also participate in the tennis competition this year. He wants to win the gold slam! There is one more tennis event, but it's very different!"
"Look at this report quickly. Zhang Guan did not participate in the four Grand Slam tournaments and lost hundreds of millions! I sent the news link!"
This news report first listed the gains made by Federer, Nadal and other tennis stars in the Grand Slam, and then calculated the total slam gains that Zhang Guan received last year, including bonuses, advertising endorsements, etc., and finally proposed that Zhang Guan did not participate The four major tennis slams will bring you a lot of economic losses, and calculated a very exaggerated number.
At the end of the article, it is specifically stated that Zhang Guan did this for the Olympic Games held in the capital, to win more gold medals, and willing to bear huge economic losses, which is a performance that takes into account the overall situation.
In Zhang Guan's view, some of this report is too exaggerated, the income figures are exaggerated, and the comments attached later are also exaggerated, which simply portrays himself as a hero who cares for everyone in the Olympic Games. However, in this era of money supremacy, the title of "hundreds of millions of losses" is indeed enough to attract people's attention and enough to win Zhang Guan's applause.
This report is of course from the hands of the champion team. Under the operation of the champion team, the direction of public opinion is also one-sided to praise Zhang Guan. Of course, this time also needs a positive propaganda object. The sports world even set off "Xiang Zhang Guan The call to "learn".
...
Zhang Guan did not participate in the Australian Open, but Sharapova performed very well in the Australian Open. He defeated Davenport in the second round, Dementieva in the fourth round, and beat Haining in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, he won Jankovic, who defeated Ivanovic in the final, won many women's singles all the way, and finally won the championship. This is her third Grand Slam title.
With the end of the Spring Festival, Zhang Guan also ended his vacation, bid farewell to his family and returned to the training center, once again returned to the track and field training ground. (To be continued.)
