Chapter 95: Moscow Indoors
It's really cold in Moscow in January. Rao is Guo Zizhao had already been mentally prepared and wrapped in a thick down jacket tightly, but as soon as he got off the plane, he was still stumbled by a gust of cold air.
It was close to minus 20 degrees, Guo Zizhao wailed in his heart. Fortunately, it was an indoor event, and if it was an outdoor track and field event, it would be a hard time. However, looking at those graceful Russian girls who are still wearing in the cold wind, Guo Zizhao can't help but sigh with emotion, the women of the fighting nation should not be underestimated.
Especially in athletics, women in Russia and all of Eastern Europe are tougher than men. Eastern European men may also be too muscular to excel in events involving agility and speed. Therefore, in this sprint event, Guo Zizhao is still very sure of winning the championship.
On such a cold day, it's no wonder that masters from other countries don't want to participate. Competing with a group of international second-rate athletes, Guo Zizhao is still full of confidence. However, this year, because of the World Indoor Championships, there are slightly more players coming to participate in the Moscow Indoor Championships than in previous years. However, there is also a limit to the number of things. After all, the experts are still willing to wait until next month to warm up for the indoor tournament in Europe.
This time, Guo Zizhao and his entourage had a total of more than a dozen people. In addition to Guo Zizhao participating in this competition, Coach Feng Shuyong also led the team to bring several athletes, preparing to go to several indoor competitions in Europe after this station.
The organizing committee of the Moscow station welcomed Guo Zizhao's participation, after all, Guo Zizhao was in the limelight at the Asian Games last month. There is such a world-class player who participates in the competition, and he is also a yellow race, which can be regarded as an explanation to the sponsors.
β¦β¦
Under the warm reception of the staff of the organizing committee, Guo Zizhao and others finally stayed. The interior in Moscow is still very warm, and the heating is 24 hours a day. If there was no heating, this place would freeze to death. Guo Zizhao often saw from the news in his previous life that there were often tough buddies in Moscow who drank too much in the middle of the night, and they fell drunk directly on the way home and were frozen to death. Therefore, after Guo Zizhao decided not to be fully armed, he would not go out.
On the second day, all the contestants participated in the simple press conference organized by the organizing committee, and then went to the competition venue for a simple warm-up. Guo Zizhao is different from others, and it takes an afternoon to toss in it before it ends. Well, it feels pretty good.
When Guo Zizhao participated in the domestic indoor competition last year, the "strength" and "agility" attributes were only 70 points, and he had just stepped into the national gate. And "endurance" is even worse, only 51 points at the level of a second-level athlete. But now, these three attributes have reached the national top level of 79 points. Although the 60m and 60 hurdles races do not require much "endurance", Guo Zizhao can improve his best results a lot with the added "strength" and "agility" attributes alone. Coupled with the slightly improved "precision" attribute, Guo Zizhao estimates that he can try to break the Asian record.
The Asian record for the 60-meter dash is 6.51 seconds set by Qatari Al Rahim in 1993; The Asian record for the 60m hurdles was 7.55 seconds set by Li Tong in 1996.
γγγγγγ
The indoor competition on the 20th soon began in earnest. In the morning, Guo Zizhao will participate in the preliminaries of the 60m and 60m hurdles, and in the afternoon, he will participate in the finals of the 60m and 60m hurdles.
Guo Zizhao looked at his state attributes, "physical strength" 83, "state value" 82, not bad. Sure enough, he was facing a group of international second-rate players, similar to the Asian players he had faced before, and he was enough to deal with it.
In the two preliminaries in the morning, Guo Zizhao used "strong primary frequency running shoes". In such sprint races, it is the faster the athlete who is more preferred. The 60-meter dash was 6.56 seconds, 0.02 seconds better than the national record he set last year. But it's still a bit far from the Asian record of 6.51 seconds; In the 60m hurdles, his time reached 7.56 seconds, which was 0.02 seconds higher than his best last year and only 0.01 seconds away from Li Tong's Asian record. It seems that there is no problem with this record being broken in the afternoon final.
Wen Dahai and Chen Yanhao also successfully entered the finals, but their results were much worse than Guo Zizhao, a full 0.1 seconds more. This kind of result is okay in this competition, but when it comes to the indoor World Championships, it is estimated that it can only run a preliminary race.
β¦β¦
After lunch, after a brief break, the final match will soon begin. The first to start was the men's 60m final. This time, Guo Zizhao is fully armed, ready to attack the Asian record in these two events in the final.
"Strong primary high-frequency running shoes", "strong primary reaction headband", and with the "physical strength" of 92 points and the "status value" of 91 points after adding points, Guo Zizhao has shown all the means this time.
βon your marksβ¦β¦ setβ
"Phew!"
Guo Zizhao rushed out first, and the starting time of 0.126 seconds ranked first among all the runners. At the same time as the start, Guo Zizhao activated the "Strong Primary Sprint Skill". There's no way, the distance of 60 meters is too short, and there is still plenty of room for the skill duration of 7s.
In the first 30 meters, Guo Zizhao gave full play to the characteristics of Asian players, starting fast and frequent. With the addition of skills and running shoes, after 30 meters, Guo Zizhao began to occupy the leading position. And as time continues, this distance is slowly getting bigger and bigger. By the 10 meters of the final sprint, Guo Zizhao was already more than two positions ahead of the second-place player......
It's a sprint...... Hit the line.......
The other players and reporters watching around also nodded silently, is this the strength of the new Asian No. 1 Flyer this time? It's really extraordinary, it's really a notch higher than other second-rate players......
The results of this race quickly appeared on the display, 6.50 seconds! Guo Zizhao won the 60m and officially improved the Asian record by 0.01 seconds.
The reporters and coaches around them also quickly understood the meaning of this achievement and applauded excitedly. Even the representatives of the organizing committee and sponsors were full of joy. Such a meaningful result appeared in the competition of this station, but it can greatly improve the popularity of this competition. This is still very good for improving the embarrassing situation of the Moscow Indoor Games.
The representative of the sponsor thought even more greedily, alas...... It would have been better if the world record had been broken this time, and the competition in this station would have been famous all over the world, but it's a pity......
Guo Zizhao was also very happy to accept everyone's blessings, and took a photo with several players who came to congratulate him. Tut... Tut... My buddy has now become the star athlete of this competition, hehe......
Wen Dahai's result this time was average, and his time of 6.65 seconds did not even enter the top three. It seems that the injury of the past two years has caused the former national record holder to slowly start to decline.
This is the inescapable sorrow of athletes...... Guo Zizhao thought silently, fortunately, he still had a system medicine for self-defense.
γγγγγγ
An hour later, the final of the 60m hurdles kicked off again. Guo Zizhao made persistent efforts this time, won the championship again with a time of 7.52 seconds, and broke the Asian record of 7.55 seconds held by Li Tong. Chen Yanhao also finished third this time with a time of 7.62 seconds.
Two finals, two championships, and two Asian records have made Guo Zizhao the focus of the Moscow competition. In the media interview after the game, Guo Zizhao became the darling of the media. Guo Zizhao, who has long been experienced in a hundred battles, also calmly accepted everyone's interview. In addition, he politely thanked the organizing committee and sponsors for their careful work, and praised the hospitality of the people of Moscow.
This move also made the representatives of the sponsors smile. Afterwards, he patted Guo Zizhao's shoulder excitedly, curled his tongue and nagged Guo Zizhao in broken English for a long time. "Good brother, you are a good brother to our Russian people. Tonight I'm going to invite you to a party with the best spirits, the best barbecue, and the most beautiful girls. You must come, I will invite a lot of girls to wait for you......"
Russia's great ocean horse...... Guo Zizhao drooled and began to yy.
Although the Russian beauties quickly lost shape after getting married, from a Coca-Cola bottle to a Coca-Cola can. But the young beauties, the body is hot one by one, tsk... Tut... So tonight, is there going to be something indescribable, hehe......
But before Guo Zizhao had a chance to speak, he was rejected by Song Ping, who rushed over. In Song Ping's words, the national team has a unified arrangement tonight, and the athletes are not allowed to go out alone. Besides, tomorrow morning we will have to make a plane to rush back to China, and we will talk about it when we have the opportunity to come to Moscow later.
After fooling the Russian sponsor representative, Guo Zizhao, who had not yet dried his saliva, was forcibly taken away by Song Ping.
Bye...... My Moscow beauties......
......
In the evening, the national team returned to the station, and after dinner, a brief summary was made. Of course, Guo Zizhao was praised by Coach Feng and others. After arranging the upcoming training and game plans of the other players, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Guo Zizhao and Song Ping will fly back to China early tomorrow morning, so they will come back early to rest.
The first thing Guo Zizhao did after returning to the room was to quickly check the system rewards for this competition. According to Guo Zizhao's idea, the previous rule of the system was that as long as the series won the championship of one race, he could get a reward. In the past two years, I have participated in the indoor competition and Grand Prix series in China. In this case, if you brush up on the champions of the two Moscow stations this time, you won't be able to run away with the rewards of 10 attribute points. It's the experience points because you only participated in one race, so you may not give too much. However, now Guo Zizhao is mainly lacking attribute points, and he is already very satisfied with a reward of 10 points.
But soon, Guo Zizhao found out that the system was still the system that slammed the door, and he was still Too young, too simple......
