章 210: Jumping beam clown
Director Ma is dealing with the document on hand. At this time, the mobile phone sounded. Director Ma looked at the electric display and it was Zhang Guan who called him.
"What's the matter with this Zhang Guan kid?" Director Ma hesitated and picked up the phone.
"Director Ma? I'm Zhang Guan." Zhang Guan said.
"I'm busy, what is the matter?" Director Ma said.
"Yes." Zhang Guan originally wanted to talk to Director Ma first, and brewing topics, but listening to Director Ma's words, he said bluntly, "Director Ma, the middle distance running coach, can you not send one for me?"
"Why?" Director Ma immediately asked.
"It's that there is no time. I have to train for sprints, long jumps, strength, endurance, etc. I have limited energy and time is not enough!" Zhang Guan replied.
"Hehe..." Director Ma suddenly laughed. He put down the file in his hand and said, "You also know that energy is limited! What did you say earlier? At that time, I started to say that energy is limited. Knowing that you have limited energy, the other day you claim to be sent off as a middle distance runner to the Asian Games? Why? Are you ready to give up?"
"I don't mean that. I have to continue to participate in the competition. I just don't think there is much time to deal with so many kinds of training." Zhang Guan answered.
"Only competition, no training? I think your kid's brain is rusty!" Director Ma said angrily, "If athletes don't improve their level through usual training, how can they achieve good results during competition. I said your thinking can be adjusted. Your talents can be said to be the world's first, but it does not mean that you don't need to work hard. There is a saying, success is 99% hard work coupled with 1% talent, especially in our sports circle, the physical talent is good enough, but the examples of sinking are because of not training hard which is like..."
Director Ma talked and began to make a long discussion. He was afraid that Zhang Guan would be confused by his good results, and he would not work hard to train in the future.
When Director Ma's long talk was nearing its end, Zhang Guan said, "Director Ma, I know everything you said. I was just thinking, slow down the middle distance running training first, resume other training as usual. These days I also thought about it myself, and I think it is best to focus on sprint events in the future. If you run in the middle distance, I will have to first participate in the competition.
"That's right, the focus is still on the sprint event!" Director Ma immediately said with a great agreement.
Director Ma did not think that Zhang Guan could cope with so many competitions at the same time, so at that time Zhang Guan wanted to participate in the middle-distance race, Director Ma strongly disagreed, worried that Zhang Guan would be distracted. If not for the fact that he broke the national records of 800 meters and 1500 meters, Director Ma would have not allowed Zhang Guan to participate in the middle distance running of the Asian Games. But now listening to what Zhang Guan said, Director Ma thought Zhang Guan finally figured it out, and could not help but wonder who was doing the ideological work for Zhang Guan.
Director Ma said half-jokingly, "In this case, don't participate in the middle distance running of the Asian Games, just run the three sprints and long jump."
"No can do, I have already signed up anyway, I'll go to have a little experience," Zhang Guan said.
...
In the following days, Zhang Guan resumed his daily training life, repeating the same training every day, making it boring. The time has passed for more than a month.
On November 17, the Chinese delegation of the Doha Asian Games in 2006 officially made a total of 928 delegations, including 647 athletes, which includes 341 male athletes and 306 female athletes.
For the entire national team, the significance of the Doha Asian Games is different from usual, because the Olympic Games will be held in the capital two years later, and before the Olympic Games, it is difficult to find a large-scale, comprehensive sports event like the Doha Asian Games. Therefore, the Doha Asian Games is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the Chinese delegation to train their athletes. It is for this reason that those athletes competing in the next Olympics will participate in this Asian Games.
As soon as the delegation's inaugural meeting was over, Zhang Guan was invited by the staff of the delegation to a small meeting room, where he met Secretary-General Chu of the delegation.
Secretary-General Chu is also the leader of the General Administration. This time the national team went to Doha. He is serving as deputy's head and secretary-general. It can be said that many specific matters are the responsibility of Secretary-General Chu.
After taking a seat, he only heard Secretary-General Chu say, "Zhang Guan, these are mainly things for you to hear, and I want to ask for personal opinions."
"Why not let me break the record again!" Zhang Guan thought so, but said with a mouth, "Please ask the Secretary-General for instructions."
"Don't be nervous, there's nothing to say about it. Just asking for advice." Secretary-General Chu went on to say, "Our delegation is the largest team participating in the Doha Asian Games this time. At the opening ceremony, as usual, the square team still needs to be formed. The square team needs a flag bearer. We have discussed it for a long time in our team. I think you are the most suitable candidate. However, we take into account the schedule of the competition. It starts only in the second week. If you go to Doha too early, it will delay your training. So the Youth League wants to ask for your personal opinions. If you want to be a flag bearer, then the flag bearer is none other than you; If you are worried about delaying your training, the Youth League will find someone else."
Secretary-General Chu said that after thinking about it for a few seconds, he continued with a friendly face, "This is not a hard task, so don't worry about it. If you are really afraid of affecting the training, just tell the truth, after all, you need to participate in several competitions. Training is also very important to you, so our team will understand."
Zhang Guan thought quickly. Although the Asian Games is not as good as the Olympic Games, it is also a sports event held every four years. At least the attention in Asia is still very high. For athletes who are youth, how many years have they lived in? Being able to get a chance to be a national team flag bearer is something to show off in a lifetime.
Zhang Guan has always been keen on this kind of limelight. So Zhang Guan said without hesitation, "Thank you for the trust the Youth League has for me, I am very willing to be the flag bearer of the delegation."
"No need to rush to answer so quickly, you can think about it first." Secretary-General Chu advised.
"I always wanted to be a flag bearer of a delegation since I was a child. I was envious of watching Yao as a flag bearer at the Athens Olympics two years ago. Now that I have this opportunity, I have to work hard." Zhang Guan said.
"Well, since this is the case, the flag bearer will be you." Secretary-General Chu was also relieved.
Whether it is the Olympic Games or the Asian Games, the opening ceremony is the place where various countries make their appearances. The flag bearers must, of course, be athletes with a good reputation and good image. At present, Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the best choice. If Zhang Guan is unwilling to be a flag bearer, the regiment will have to find another person. This reputation will be much worse. Secretary-General Chu also hopes that Zhang Guan can participate, so he can only talk to Zhang Guan personally.
...
Saudi Arabia, track, and field training center.
Since the end of the Athletics World Cup, Aluk Walid seems to have completely lost the feeling of the game, and his state has been declining all the way. In the past two months of the team practice game, Walid has lost to his teammate Ben Mazuk and Al Shaba.
In today's practice game, Walid lost again, six test jumps, three fouls, one failure, and the other two best results just reached 7.9 meters. And his two teammates, Ben Mazuk and Al Shaba, both crossed the 8.3-meter mark.
Standing on the bench in the rest area, Walid's face was decadent as if he was a child who did something wrong.
"Walid, what's wrong with you recently? Since returning from the Athletics World Cup, you seem to have changed." Al Shaba approached and said.
Walid was about to answer, and Ben Mazuk also came over and said, "Aluk was scared by Zhang Guan!"
"What are you talking about?" Walid stood up sharply, staring at Mazuk with an angry face, making a posture of beating people.
"Am I wrong? I remember that there was someone before the World Cup in track and field, who vowed to defeat Zhang Guan and regain the Asian record, but now? Can't even jump past eight meters!" Contemptuously looked at Walid.
"Huh! I didn't beat Zhang Guan, that's because Zhang Guan is so powerful, not even Saladino is his opponent! Don't talk coldly here, you have to try it!" Walid said.
"You're right, this time at the Doha Asian Games, I want the championship!" Mazuk said arrogantly.
"It's you alone?" Walid exhaled contemptuously, and then said, "At best, you jump to 8.4 meters, but Zhang Guan is a person who can jump to 8.6 meters. There is a gap of more than 20 centimeters. Can you win!"
"That's not necessarily, it depends on the performance on the spot! Zhang Guan was only in good condition by accident, do you think he can skip 8.6 meters in every game?" Mazuk continued, "And I want to challenge Zhang. It's not just me alone, Al is also ready to challenge Zhang Guan on the 400m project! Right, Al?"
Mazuk said to another athlete across the bench that his name was Al Bish, the strongest 400m athlete in Saudi Arabia, and of course, he was also an African naturalized athlete.
Al Bish stood up and walked over and said, "That is, of course, I have to challenge Zhang Guan. If I can overcome Zhang Guan, I will be famous in one battle! The world will know my name!"
"Al, wake up, to say that in the long jump project we can challenge Zhang Guan, we may still have a chance, but Zhang Guan's 400 meters is much stronger than the long jump, he is the world record holder of 400 meters," Walid said.
"The biggest role of the world record is to be broken! Besides, I'm not the only one thinking about it, you should look at this latest sports magazine!" Al Bish handed a sports magazine to Walid.
This is an English magazine from other countries, but Walid's English is quite good, so he can understand.
Walid flipped open casually and just saw a big headline.
"Indian Interview with Matthews Binu, Will he defeat Zhang Guan in the Asian Games!"
"Indian sprinter? There are sprinters in India? Are you kidding me? A clown!" Walid thought of it and looked at his teammates Ben Mazuk and Al Bish.
"Perhaps in Zhang Guan's opinion, we are all jumping beam clowns!"
