Chapter 41: State Recovery
On July 20, the 28th Olympic Games Chinese Sports Delegation was established.
The Chinese team registered 408 athletes for the Athens Olympics, 117 coaches, 27 team leaders, 26 doctors, 27 interpreters, and 2 sparring partners. This is the largest number of delegations in the history of the Chinese team participating in the Olympics.
At the same time, there were 226 officials in the delegation, including 31 regiments and 195 sports teams.
Chinese athletes have qualified for 26 major events out of 28 major events and 203 minor events out of 301 minor events. The average age of all athletes is 23.3 years old, and the oldest athlete is 44 years old. The youngest is an athlete who is 14 years old.
Since the next Olympic Games is the Capital Olympic Games, a very important task of this Athens Olympic Games is to train athletes and prepare for the Capital Olympic Games. Therefore, 225 athletes among the 408 athletes participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. More than 300 athletes have the opportunity to participate in the next Capital Olympics.
In the next few days, the Olympic athletes will participate in concentrated training. The delegation also sent each athlete a thick handbook of Athens Olympics precautions, including the situation of Athens, local customs, local legal regulations, disciplines that athletes should observe, foreign affairs reception discipline, what to do in case of trouble, how to ask if you get lost, etc. All the items are listed in great detail. It is estimated that it will take a lot of effort after reading this book.
The training content is also similar, similar to what is stated in the manual, and the time is short. It is difficult for people without an excellent memory to remember so many things in a short time, let alone most athletes are not good at learning.
Zhang Guan gained a lot during the training and saw many well-known athletes in the venue, such as Yao Dage of the basketball team, the national players of the table tennis team, the elite of the diving team, and the girls in the women's queue...
These familiar figures of Zhang Guan appeared in front of him one by one, and many of them also knew that Zhang Guan, the first flying man in Asia, which made Zhang Guan feel flattered.
So, during the break between training or after the buffet time, you can always see a big man more than one meter nine meters holding a camera, looking for people to take pictures everywhere, and still taking selfies.
If it is a few years later, taking selfies would be a normal thing. People are also used to taking pictures of themselves or friends when eating, drinking, and playing. But in 2004, the vast majority of people were not used to this method, so a stiff and uncomfortable expression appeared in every single picture.
Giant Yao saw Zhang Guan rushing around to find people to take pictures with, and he couldn't help laughing. He thought of many black players in the NBA. It seems that he has this habit, and other black players take selfies. Whether it's teammates or opponents, they will cooperate to make various poses and exaggerated expressions, but here, everyone is serious.
"Brother Yao, let's take a picture!" Zhang Guan ran towards the giant like a few arrows, he straightened his hands and pressed the shutter.
Anyway, Zhang Guan is also a big man with a height more than one meter and nine meters, but in front of Giant Yao, who has become a gangster, barely reaching Giant Yao's shoulder. Previously Zhang Guan in the distance only felt that the giant was tall, but when he stood in front of him, he could truly realize his insignificance.
At this moment, a small athlete just passed by and appeared to have just come out of the health bureau. Zhang Guan recognized at a glance that he was the future boxing champion Zou Quanwang.
Zou Quanwang is only 23 years old this year, but there is no obvious change in appearance compared with more than a decade later. Some teenagers are mature, so Zhang Guan easily recognized him with a glance.
"Brother Zou, let's take a picture together." Zhang Guan went to Zou Quanwang and took a photo with Giant Yao.
Zou Quanwang is 1.62 meters tall, Zhang Guan is 1.92 meters tall, and Giant Yao is 2.62 meters tall. There is a gap of 30 centimeters before each other. If there is a selfie stick, it would be better, but Zhang Guan had to take a one-handed selfie. His face was fully photographed, only Zou Quan's hair and Yao's neck could be photographed.
A few years later, this photo would appear in a father-son link of a reality show of a father and son. Several Meng babies added them together, and they did not find Zhang Quan's face in the photo. All they saw was Zhang Guans's smile, a neck, and black hair.
...
After the concentrated training, Zhang Guan proposed to continue to learn English, so the track and field team found an assistant from the English Department of Beijing Normal University to continue to supplement Zhang Guan's English.
Before going to Athens, there is another important event in domestic track and field, which is the fifth race of the National Athletics Grand Prix, and this race is also the Chinese Open Championship of this year.
The China Athletics Open has a high level of competition and attractive prize money, so this competition attracted more than 900 players from 39 national teams.
Among the well-known domestic athletes, some of the points are enough for the athletes to participate in the 10th National Games next year. However, there are still many big-name players, such as Liu Feiren in the 110-meter hurdles.
The men's 100m event is still the most competitive but least suspenseful event. The fierce competition is because there are many players and masters in the competition, but there is no suspense because Zhang Guan has participated.
Compared with the fourth game half a month ago, Zhang Guan's game status has rebounded today. The training plan developed by Yu Gui is indeed very effective. This is what Zhang Guan understands best.
However, compared with the beginning of the year, Zhang Guan still feels that it is much worse. Although his competitive state can not be said to be very poor, he is still at a generally low level. If you run the Olympic Games in this state, you obviously cannot get a medal.
In the preliminary match, Zhang Guan easily ran out of 10.21 seconds. This result instantly made other players feel desperate. For ordinary players, it can already be regarded as a huge success to run within 10.40 seconds. In the domestic competition, it is possible to win the championship at 10.40 seconds.
In the semi-finals, Zhang Guan continued to run in the preliminary round and ran into 10.19 seconds; and in the semi-finals, Zhang Guan still achieved 10.20 seconds.
Zhang Guan has been using the first three games to adjust his state. In the previous games, Zhang Guan struggled very hard, which is more reflected in the lack of control of the body, and control of the speed. With the progress of the competition, Zhang Guan's control of the body is also improving, and his competitive state is gradually recovering.
Finally, in the finals, Zhang Guan also decided to make another impact on the Asian record.
Those who can enter the finals are all strong domestic players. Although everyone knows that there is Zhang Guan, so it is hopeless to take the first place, but the final ranking is still very worthy of competition. As the Chinese Athletics Open, the prize money is far more than other domestic events. It is much richer, and each advancement represents a richer bonus.
At the same time, the ranking of the track and field competition can also get more annual points. The points can not only be used to participate in the year-end finals of the National Athletics Grand Prix but also to participate in the Tenth National Games next year. The Games are already the highest level of events they are likely to participate in.
After the starting gunshots sounded, Zhang Guan ran ahead, while the seven athletes behind were extremely competitive.
Cheers came on the court one after another but did not cheer for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan ran ahead. He was determined to win the championship, so they have lost attention in him. Compared with the other seven, the situation is more exciting to watch.
The more intense the competition behind Zhang Guan, the more deafening the shouts on the sidelines. Although Zhang Guan in the run could not hear clearly what the sidelines were calling, he could still feel the increased tension in the atmosphere. Zhang Guan likes this atmosphere very much. The sense of urgency seems to be calling him continuously, awakening his cells and making him feel excited!
Excited! This is the competitive state that athletes should have in the game.
Zhang Guan felt that this feeling of excitement made him vaguely find some state of the race, but it was not enough. He couldn't feel the pressure of his opponent, and he couldn't feel the kind of stimulus before the line to decide victory or defeat.
Then, Zhang Guan crossed the line!
Zhang Guan was very disappointed. He had just found a little feeling of the race, but the race was over. It seemed like a musician had just heard the most beautiful music in the world, but the sound came to an abrupt end and it was hard to find.
The moment he crossed the finish line, he looked back at the other athletes who were still struggling to fight. At this moment he suddenly envied them, at least they could experience the pleasure of competition and real sports competition! While I was just a lone leader.
Zhang Guan suddenly discovered that perhaps in his bones, there was always a soul, a soul belonging to athletes.
"Break the Asian record for men's 100-meter sprint and receive the reward: 2 skill points."
The system prompt appeared, and Zhang Guan discovered that he once again broke the Asian record.
A dozen seconds later, the score of the athlete appeared on the electronic scoreboard. Zhang Guan, who ranked first, was exceptionally conspicuous because his score was one digit less than others.
"9 seconds 98! Zhang Guan broke the Asian record again!" The broadcaster who controlled the microphone immediately shouted, spreading the news all over the stadium and beyond.
The whole stadium suddenly sounded a series of applause and shouts.
Zhang Yuan looked at this result. Although he was still not very satisfied, he achieved two goals by breaking the Asian record, which was considered to have achieved his goal.
"There are seven skill points, let hurry up and complete the task." Zhang Guan opened the skill synthesis bar, spent 6 skill points, and combined the Strengthening skill and Fitness skill as a new skill:
[Strengthening Fitness}
A golden icon appears in the skill box, followed by a note:
[Strengthen Physical Fitness]: increase the body's strength and endurance, improve the recovery speed and recovery level of tissue damage.
[Description]: Growth skills, Synthetic skills.
