At the end of July, the time for the Olympic Games to meet the standards had ended, and the registration for the Olympic Games was coming to an end. Zhang Guan was able to obtain the qualifications for the seven individual track and field events and the tennis men's singles.
As long as the individual track and field events can meet the Olympic standards, they can register directly through the Olympic Games Organizing Committee. If the standard is not met, the IOC will consult with the IAAF to make an assessment of the specific situation.
Zhang Guan reached the Olympic a standard on the men's 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, long jump and triple jump, while on the men's 1500m, he participated in the Olympic b standard. Among them, men’s 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m, only Zhang Guan participated in the national team, because only Zhang Guan reached the Olympic a standard in the first five items, and others only reached the b standard, while the 1500m project Only Zhang Guan reached the Olympic b standard.
In the tennis singles event, the Olympic Games has a place limit. There are 64 players in the men's and women's singles events, of which 48 places are allocated by the ATP world rankings. The top 48 in the world rankings announced on June 9th Players can enter the Olympic Games directly, but up to four players from each country can participate, and the absences are sequentially extended according to the world ranking.
Of the other 16 places, two places are invited seats, often for some well-known contestants; the remaining 14 places belong to the International Internet Federation, and can also be regarded as a backdoor place, which is equivalent to a big full A consistent wild card.
Atp points are calculated based on the points earned in the past year. Zhang Guan won four Grand Slam titles in 2007, with a total of 8,000 points, a Chinese Open champion with 500 points, and a year-end Masters. Earned 1000 points, the cumulative is 9500 points. As of June 9, Zhang Guan missed this year's Australian Open and French Open, so 4000 points will be deducted, but Zhang Guan still has 5,500 points, which is second only to Federer and Nadal. Above Djokovic, it ranks third in the world. Therefore, as long as Zhang Guan signed up, he would automatically qualify for the Olympic tennis.
As for the 4x100m track and field and basketball events, registration is under the name of the collective event of the participating countries.
...
Zhang Guan didn't notice that Sharapova's voice was low on the other side of the phone. He was still excited and said, "Masha, do you know that our national team has already determined that I will be the national team's Olympic opening ceremony? The flag bearer. I read the news a few days ago and you said you might become a flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Russian team. Is that true?"
"I have decided to withdraw from the Olympics." Sharapova said suddenly.
"Withdraw from the Olympics? What happened? Because of the injury?" Zhang Guan asked several questions in a row.
"I did an MRI exam. My shoulder injury has been severe recently, and I may not be able to participate in the rest of the year." Sharapova said in frustration.
"It's so serious." Zhang Guan was silent for two seconds, and then said: "I'm sorry, Martha, I think I should be by your side at this time, but I have to participate in the Olympics..."
"I know that the direct Olympics will be of great significance to you. Please help me book a hotel. I will go to China to find you." Sharapova said with a smile: "I will cheer for you, my dear champion. ."
...
At the beginning of August, the participants of the Olympic Games have been determined. Zhang Guan has once again become the focus of attention in the sports world.
"Zhang Guan is going to participate in eight athletics events? Is he crazy? No one has participated in so many events at the same time."
"Don't forget Phelps in the United States, Phelps seems to have participated in eight swimming competitions."
"But Phelps' participation includes 4x100m freestyle relay, 4x100m medley relay and 4x200m freestyle relay, all three are collective events and the other five It’s an individual project; Zhang Guan’s words are that there is only one individual project and seven collective projects."
"Even if the two people participated in the same number of events, Phelps will definitely win more gold medals than Zhang Guan in this Olympic Games. Phelps participated in eight events and may get eight gold medals. Zhang Guanding can get three or four pieces at most! Even Zhang Guan’s tone is excellent, he can win seven individual events, but in the 4-by-100-meter sprint event, the United States, Britain and Jamaica are far more powerful than China. Zhang Guan It is impossible to win the championship, so Zhang Guan at most is to win seven gold medals."
"But Zhang Guan also crossed a big event, he also participated in tennis and basketball."
"Okay, even if you add a tennis ball, it's just eight gold medals, and you have participated in so many games at the same time. How can the schedule and personal energy come together!"
"Yeah, track and field, tennis, basketball, a total of three major events and ten minor events, Zhang Guan's physical strength can't be exhausted! Maybe Zhang Guan can't even get a gold medal!"
"There are absolutely no athletes in the world who can participate in so many Olympic events at the same time, and they can all win awards. Zhang Guan is also impossible!"
...
For domestic sports spectators, they certainly hope Zhang Guan can win more championships, but foreign audiences do not think so. Of course, Western countries do not want China to rise. They can’t wait to see the Chinese team’s jokes, of course. It's nice to see the Chinese team get more gold medals.
For Zhang Guan, he has a physical potion, so the biggest problem is not the physical problem, but the schedule.
In the schedule of the Olympics, the same event will basically not affect each other in the competition time, but different major events may overlap in time. Zhang Guan will participate in multiple events at the same time and will face the competition. With regard to the problem of overlapping time, Zhang Guan does not have the avatar technique, and it is impossible to appear at the scene of two matches at the same time.
However, the organizers of the Olympic Games also thought of this problem. They gave Zhang Guan some care as far as possible in the arrangement of the game time, and the General Administration of Sports also applied for the related logistics support for Zhang Guan.
Yiming Consulting's meeting room.
"The track and field competitions are held at the National Athletics Center, and the tennis competitions are held at the National Tennis Center. Both of these places are in the Olympic Park, except that one is near the fourth ring road and the other is near the fifth ring road. The Olympic green line can also go to and from the subway. But the venue of the basketball game is Wukesong Stadium, which is a bit far from the Olympic Park. Even if there is no traffic jam, you have to walk for more than 30 minutes. No," Zhuge Wenbo continued, "but you don't have to worry, we borrowed a helicopter."
"Helicopter? Such a big battle?" Zhang Guan was a little surprised, but then he remembered something and said: "Even if there is a helicopter, it will not be allowed to fly during the Olympics. The flight over the capital is not a ban. District?"
"It is a no-fly zone, but others have a certificate." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "It is a CCTV relay helicopter that can fly over the capital during the Olympics. They are willing to lend us, of course, they are also to get the first An exclusive interview with your hand. So when you really need someone to use a helicopter, you will cooperate with you in the interview."
"Okay, I know." Zhang Guan nodded.
In large cities such as the capital, not to mention helicopters, even the Boeing 747 can be found, but it is difficult to find helicopters that can fly over the capital during the Olympics. CCTV is responsible for the broadcast of the entire Olympics. Of course, it will be equipped with the most advanced equipment, including broadcast helicopters; Zhang Guan, as the busiest athlete during the Olympics, how precious time is, even if CCTV wants to interview him Easy. Therefore, between Zhang Guan and Central Power, it can be regarded as each need.

At 20 o'clock on the evening of August 8, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was solemnly held at the National Stadium. The National Stadium under the night lights was brilliant and colorful. The stadium, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, was full of people and excited.
2008 actors sang their songs and tens of thousands of fireworks bloomed in the sky. The entire stadium was like blooming flowers. The Olympic rings appeared, the national flag entered, and after the national flag was raised and the national anthem was sung, a cultural performance began. Whether cultural performances can be read or not, it is very lively anyway. Until 21:10, the entrance ceremony for athletes finally began.
The first entry was the Greek team, the birthplace of the Olympics, and then delegations of other countries and regions entered the site in order of simplified Chinese character strokes. It has lasted for two hours. After the 203 countries and regions have arrived, the host national team will finally enter the stadium.
Zhang Guan was wearing a yellow shirt, a red suit on the outside, and white pants and white leather shoes on his lower body. He raised the national flag and walked into the stadium. The scene immediately remembered the roaring applause and shouts!
"This is the Olympics, our own Olympics!" Zhang Guan's eyes couldn't help but get a little wet, he immediately closed his eyes, letting the originally excited inner efforts calm down.
The countless flashing lights around them seem to be starry, and the lights in the sports field are becoming brighter at this moment. The national flag is flying in the air, and the ray of red has become the most beautiful color in the world at this moment.
"This is the Olympics hosted by our own country, this is our own Olympics." Zhang Guan held the flagpole tightly and listened carefully to the cheers surrounding the audience. He could feel the enthusiasm of everyone and the expectations of the audience. .
"After four years, I returned to the Olympics." Zhang Guan took a deep breath and sighed softly: "The Olympics, I'm here!" (To be continued.)
