Chapter 520: The Little Demon of That Year Begins to Rise
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was mid-November.
Early in the morning, Guo Zizhao got up lightly and tidied up the quilt for Sister Tao, who was still asleep. Well...... Last night's madness made Sister Tao tired, so let her sleep a little longer!
Gently kissing his lover's cheek, Guo Zizhao then changed into a simple sportswear and went out to prepare for his daily morning run......
Well...... Facing the rising sun, Guo Zizhao also took a deep breath, the air in this era is really fresh, especially in this Xipu red light town that has just begun to develop. I hope that every day in the future will be like this, and it will be good for physical and mental health!
After walking out of the gate of the villa, he said hello to the base security guards who were patrolling nearby, and Guo Zizhao started today's morning run along the tree-lined path.
And the two security guards were also driving electric patrol cars, and they chatted not far behind Guo Zizhao unhurriedly.
"Brother...... Mr. Guo is really diligent, he is such a powerful sports star, and he still doesn't forget to train every day? ”
"What is this? It's just a simple morning exercise, and it's not training! Mr. Guo only starts training for about two hours every afternoon. The older security guard also said proudly in the tone of a passerby, "A person as powerful as Mr. Guo doesn't need to train for as long as those young people." Now keep it up every day, and no one will be able to beat him! ”
"That's it!" The young security guard also said with admiration, "Mr. Guo has dominated the world athletics for 6 or 7 years, and he has never lost during this period!" He is the pride of our Chinese, and even more the pride of our Shuchuan people! ”
"Hmm...... Of course! The older security guard also said unexpectedly, "Don't say anything else, just our personal training base is amazing!" Look at these hundreds of acres of land, these villas, training grounds, and the buildings of so many training centers, by the way, even our security guards have single dormitories, such good benefits are not easy! ”
"That's right...... Mr. Guo is not an ordinary person! The young security guard was very happy to think that he had been able to successfully apply for the job here. Fortunately, my English was pretty good when I was in high school, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find such a good job!
"Hmm...... Since the benefits are so good, we can't embarrass Mr. Guo. Today, those foreign athletes are going to report, and our training camp is about to be officially opened. Mr. Guo and those coaches have been preparing for this day for a long time, boy, we have to perform well......"
"Don't worry, brother. I'm going to do a good job! ”
……
Guo Zizhao didn't notice the whispers of the two security guards behind him, and while jogging lightly in the cool breeze, he recalled the various major events that had happened in the past two months.
The life of more than two months can be described as exciting......
At the track and field finals held in Stuttgart, Germany in early September, Guo Zizhao once again won the championship of four sprint events.
However, after several finals this time, the focus of all the media was not completely focused on Guo Zizhao, because there were also several players who broke out in the finals of these two days!
Before the final of the men's 100-meter sprint, when Guo Zizhao was warming up, he saw that Powell was also listless, so he couldn't help but encourage this guy, "Asafa, don't care what others think of you, and don't be swayed by the media's remarks." At all times, you have to believe in your own strength! ”
"Guo Zizhao, do you really deduce that Bolt will be better than me in the future?"
Looking at Powell's resentful eyes, Guo Zizhao couldn't help but shudder, "Ahem...... Asafa, no matter how strong Bolt can be in the future, you will always be a world-class sprinter! Use today's game to prove your strength to everyone! As you said, Usain Bolt is still far from your best! ”
In the subsequent men's 100-meter flyer battle, Powell, who was inspired by Guo Zizhao, also broke out again. With a time of 9.74 seconds, he once again refreshed his personal best, followed by Guo Zizhao, and crossed the finish line for the second time!
9.74 seconds!
After running 9.77 seconds in a row in the past two years, Powell finally made a breakthrough again! proved that he is still the number one master in the men's 100-meter flyer in addition to Guo Zizhao.
This result not only made Guo Zizhao full of praise after the game, but also made Guy and Bolt feel a lot of pressure. The two also secretly made up their minds that they would break the 9.80 second mark next year, and they would not let Powell be so arrogant......
……
In the men's 110m hurdles final soon after, the target of the outbreak was Cuban teenager Robles.
After the start, Robles also followed Liu Feifei's pace throughout the whole process, starting from the first hurdle to the end of the last hurdle, the two were almost comparable. That is, after the last hurdle, when Robles switched to a flat sprint, the rhythm change was a little slower, and Liu Feifei pulled away a body distance.
But in the end, Robles still crossed the finish line in the third place after Guo Zizhao and Liu Feifei. And the final result is also appreciated by all the media!
12.98 seconds!
Robles, a small powerhouse with a "potential value" of 96 points, finally achieved a breakthrough and became the seventh active athlete to run under 13 seconds.
In this final, Robles was only less than 0.03 seconds slower than Liu Feifei, who won the runner-up! At the same time, it was also a victory over Doucoure, who was in the limelight last year. Even with an excellent time of 13.08 seconds, Doucoure still missed out on a medal.
And the top three results in the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles also made all the media excited. Guo Zizhao 12.83 seconds, Liu Feifei 12.95 seconds, Robles 12.98 seconds, all of which are international top results! It seems that as Guo Zizhao expected, the international athletics will be a big explosion in the 110-meter hurdles in recent years!
A week later, the 10th World Cup in Athletics kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece.
In this competition, Guo Zizhao is still very strong, once again winning three gold medals in the men's 100m, 200m and 400m sprint events.
As Powell, Usain Bolt and Varina did not participate due to physical reasons, American Guy easily won the second place in the 100m dash, and Spearmont also won the second place in the men's 200m dash. Merritt also took second place in the 400-meter dash.
Chen Haijian and Yang Yaozhou also represented the Asian team in the men's 100-meter sprint, and the results were not bad. Chen Haijian ranked 5th in 10.12 seconds, and Yang Yaozhou ranked 6th in 10.19 seconds.
It's just that Guo Zizhao unexpectedly discovered that the "health value" of the two national team teammates is not high.
……
Chen Haijian's 72 points is still reluctant, after all, Chen Haijian is also 26 years old this year, and the injuries during training are not less, plus this year's domestic and international Grand Prix has also participated in a lot of games, and it is normal for the body to be unbearable after a year.
Guo Zizhao also hurriedly comforted Chen Haijian with a few words, pay attention to rest, regulate your body, and don't overtrain. Of course, Chen Haijian also nodded yes.
But Yang Yaozhou is more troublesome! This guy is 1 year younger than Chen Haijian, and his "health value" has actually been tossed to 63 points! I'll go...... That's a lot of poor health! If you're not careful, you're likely to end up with a serious injury in the game!
But in the face of Guo Zizhao's serious admonition, although Yang Yaozhou and his head coach Liu Xia accepted it on the surface, it seems that they still don't care much! This made Guo Zizhao quite depressed......
Granny's ...... If you don't listen to Lao Tzu, forget it, for the sake of being a member of the national team, you are already quite polite. If you don't take it seriously, then no one can do anything......
These were small things, but soon, the final of the men's 110m hurdles attracted Guo Zizhao's attention. In this final, Johnson and Liu Feifei are both gearing up, ready to fight hard for their "Grand Slam" journey!
There are also Trammell, Arnold, Doucoure and Robles, among others, who are also eyeing each other and tsk...... This is also a battle between dragons and tigers!
