Chapter 183: Mass retirement
Zhang Guan was lying in bed, holding a mobile phone, and was talking about the love of Acacia with Sharapova.
After continuous training and competition, Zhang Guan and Sharapova have not met for several months. The two can only contact each other through their mobile phones.
"800 meters and 1500 meters should belong to the middle distance run! Can you also win the championship?" Sharapova asked.
"You know, my country's middle distance running level is not strong, and it is a lot worse than the world's top!" Zhang Guan continued, "I haven't congratulated you yet, you won the Araku Classic Championship."
"It's the Akula Classic." Sharapova corrected, "What are your next plans?"
"The Golden League Zurich race is about to start. I have to go to Switzerland. The Golden League will be in Brussels and Berlin. My game will not be over until September 3," Zhang Guan replied and asked, "how about you?"
"I will continue to stay in the United States. The US Open is about to start. I have to prepare for the battle." Sharapova thought about it and asked, "After the game at the Golden League Berlin, do you have time to come to the United States?"
"Two weeks after the game in Berlin, there will be an athletics World Cup. I should have some free time in these two weeks. Should I go to the United States to find you?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Really! That's great!" Sharapova's voice looked very happy, "So that's it, I'll wait for you in New York!"
"I must come! I want to witness my dear Maria win the US Open championship!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Richards announced his withdrawal from the IAAF Golden League Zurich race",
According to reports, American female athlete Saya Richards announced today that she will withdraw from the IAAF Golden League Zurich, due to the recurrence of an old foot injury. Richards was in the previous IAAF Golden League. After winning all three races, it is very hopeful to get the final gold award. However, some media pointed out that the real reason for Richards to retire is because the IAAF is about to start establishing a "biological special passport" for athletes at the Zurich Golf Station...
"Ethiopian long-distance runner, the biometric passport is unfair to Ethiopian athletes",
Kenya Beckler, the men's 10,000-meter gold medal winner of the Athens Olympic Games, said in an interview with the media not long ago that the IAAF establishes a "biological special passport" for athletes to monitor long-term blood traits, which is a kind of problem for Ethiopian athletes with very unfair behavior, because the altitude training of athletes will also affect the monitoring of blood traits and will be mistaken for the use of stimulants, and Ethiopia is called the "African Roof", the territory is mainly mountain plateau, athletes are in altitude training, so the new "biological special passport" is very unfavorable to Ethiopian athletes...

...
The news that the Golden League Zurich station will establish a special biological passport for athletes seems to be spreading. In the next week, more than a dozen athletes have withdrawn from the Golden League Zurich station for various reasons, such as Becker. The top athletes voiced that they do not support the establishment of special biological passports.
Since the outbreak of the US stimulant scandal last year, it is no secret that athletes evade urine tests through frequent blood transfusions and the introduction of trace amounts of human erythropoietin to increase the count of red blood cells, and this method tends to be more temporary. It will naturally return to the normal level, so those athletes who find a reason to retire, as long as they need to wait for a while, they may return to the normal level when it times for the next Golden League Brussels station.
However, at this time, some media also had some special reports about the eyes of bloggers.
"Gold League Zurich Station, Many top athletes retire, will the next retire be Zhang Guan?"
This is a report from the British media. First, it introduced the situation that international track and field will establish biological special passports for athletes. Then, many well-known athletes have withdrawn from the Zurich station of the IAAF Golden League. Retirement is related to the long-term blood trait monitoring of biological special passports. Finally, it begins to predict that there will be those athletes who will retire. Among them, it is emphasized that the next one to declare retirement is Zhang Guan.
After the publication of this report, it attracted a lot of attention. There are so many popular people. Zhang Guan is currently the most popular track and field athlete in the world. As long as some news can pull the word "Zhang Guan" on the title, even just the title party, many people will watch it.
It is not a matter of one day or two for Zhang Guan to be hacked. Ever since in the Olympics when he won the championship, "Zhang Guan" has always existed. In particular, there are several media that question Zhang Guan's position. In the beginning, they began to say that Zhang Guan was only a flash in the pan, and predicted that Zhang Guan would lose the game soon, but because Zhang Guan won every game, and broke the world record many times, the words of losing the game became jokes, so these "Zhang Guanhei" people started to pick up the doping problem as their main means of attacking Zhang Guan.
However, on the second day, the Tianguan Center released news that Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren were about to participate in the IAAF Golden League Zurich.
...
Jamaica.
The young Bolt looked excited because he just won the 200m sprint test, which made him qualified for the track and field World Cup in the middle of next month. What made him even more excited was that he would have the opportunity to play with Zhang Guan.
Another teenager from the Jamaican team, John Breaking, hurried over and handed a newspaper to Bolt, saying, "Usain, Zhang Guan has arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, he did not withdraw from the game! "
"I have already said that Zhang Guan will not retire!" Bolt pouted. "It's just a temporary blood test. How could Zhang Guan be afraid of this."
"It is not as simple as a temporary blood test, but a biological special passport!" Blake corrected, "The biological special passport is a process of continuous monitoring of athletes, and every blood trait monitoring result will be counted in the biological special passport. If athletes use stimulants, they can easily be compared."
"Strong athletes are disdainful to do that kind of nasty thing. Look at our Asafa, they are also continuing to participate in the athletics gold league! And Varina of the United States is said to have done a good job to challenge Zhang Guan again. I'm also ready!" Bolt waved his hand.
Blake went on to say, "I admire Varina. He has lost to Zhang Guan in three consecutive games. I never expected that he would still be so aggressive!"
"That's because the gap between Varina and Zhang Guan is not big. The two athletes only differed by 0.05 seconds in the last game, which is easily compensated in the 400-meter game." Bolt continued, "Three in the game, the two's scores have been continuously improved from 44 seconds away. It is now close to 43.5 seconds. Maybe the next two will be faster. There are three games in the Golden League, maybe one of them will break the 400 meters world record!"
"Breaking the 400-meter world record? This is impossible!" Blake shook his head. The 400-meter world record is really difficult to break. It was a non-human achievement!
...
The retirement of multiple big-name rewards led to the Golden League Zurich station being less exciting than the first three stations. However, the one-month rest period between Rome and Zurich station also made some athletes, who were not in the first place, find the state of the game, including Varina.
In the men's 400m race, Varina's result was 44.20 seconds, which is also a very good result, but it is slightly worse than his record in the first two stations.
Zhang Guan also has reservations. He relaxed his rhythm at the end of the game with a score of 43.80 seconds.
In the 100-meter sprint race, Montgomery and Crawford withdrew from the Zurich race on the pretext of participating in the domestic U.S. race, but Powell played very well, running a good result of 9.77 seconds, but still with a gap of 0.04 seconds, he lost to Zhang Guan. The third place was American athlete Tyson Gay.
In the 110-meter hurdles competition, Liu Feiren also won a championship. The second place was American veteran Alan Johnson, and the third place was Cuban teenager Roberts.
After the end of the Golden League Zurich, the only remaining four undefeated athletes are Zhang Guan, while the four three-winners are four, namely the women's 400 meters Richards and the women's 5000 meters Di Baba, Beckler at 5,000 meters, and Saradino at the long jump.
After the end of the Golden League Zurich, Zhang Guan did not return to the country but rushed to Belgium to prepare for the upcoming Golden League Brussels.
This will be a very special Golden League.
