Chapter 230: The Charm of the Spirit
By the time Guo Zizhao finished the press conference and rushed to the national team training center again, it was almost evening. After the hungry people completed the formalities, they rushed to the cafeteria to have a full meal. Then I went back to my room, started jet lag, and fell asleep.
The next day, Guo Zizhao and his party basically slept until noon before getting up. After going to the cafeteria to eat and drink enough, I slowly became energetic. It didn't take long for Director Xie Yalong to lead Zhang Peng and Feng Shuyong to come over together.
"Haha...... Lao Song, Lao Guo, Guo Zizhao, I heard that you came back last night to report. I reckon you're going to have to take advantage of the jet lag this morning, so we didn't bother. What do you think? Have you recovered now? As soon as they met, Director Xie Yalong greeted everyone with a smile.
"Hello Director Xie! Good guidance Zhang! Seal the guide well! Guo Zizhao also quickly got up and greeted several leaders.
"Haha...... Xiao Guo, sit, sit, I haven't congratulated you yet! Breaking the 100-meter world record twice in a row, this is a great glory for our country! Xie Yalong couldn't help but praise fiercely, "You are really beyond my expectations, not only to raise the face of our field management center, but also to set a good example for these young athletes later!" ”
"Huh...... Director Xie has won the award. It is only with the support of the leaders that I can achieve such results. I'm not a big deal, and I'll have to work hard in the future. In this way, we can live up to the expectations of the leadership! Guo Zizhao was also modest, and by the way, he patted his ass a little.
"Well, okay, haha...... Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged! Yes, your mentality is very good, and only if you can ensure the right mentality, can you make greater progress! Otherwise, it will be like some people, alas......" Zhang Peng also praised Guo Zizhao twice, and then sighed pointedly......
"Huh...... Okay, let's not talk about unhappy things. Xie Yalong glanced at Zhang Peng, who was slightly embarrassed on the side, and skipped the topic, "Xiao Guo, this time we came to see you on behalf of the center." By the way, I'll tell you about the arrangement for this period of time. ”
"Okay, okay, if you need anything, although the leaders tell me, I will definitely obey the arrangement."
……
In the next few days, Guo Zizhao first went to the center for a physical examination, and then began normal adjustment training. During this period, he also participated in a pledge mobilization meeting organized by the Olympic delegation. Of course, Guo Zizhao, as one of the athletes' representatives, also took the stage and simply took a collective oath.
During this time, when Guo Zizhao just returned to China, the content of the press conference held at the airport was also reported. In particular, Guo Zizhao's prediction that the Olympic delegation will win 30 Olympic gold medals this time has been regarded as a gimmick and hyped up.
For a while, the entire Olympic team was also a little stressed. 30 gold medals, which is nearly double the number of the last Olympics? Guo Zizhao, this guy is too good at talking!
And the atmosphere of the entire Olympic team, under the control of some people with ulterior motives, suddenly became a little weird......
In the end, even Director Xie Yalong was forced to come over to talk to Guo Zizhao, "Xiao Guo, I know you have confidence in your own projects, but for other projects, let's not comment too much." ”
"You see, as soon as this report came out, the leaders of other project centers had opinions on our field management center. Saying that we are commenting on it will make them very stressed for the contestants this time! Since the content of this report was said before you joined the delegation, we will not mention it again in the future. After all, according to the rules of the regiment, athletes cannot be interviewed by the media at will without the approval of their superiors. ”
"Yes, yes! The leader was right in his criticism, but I didn't think it through. Seeing that Xie Yalong took the initiative to lower his posture to talk to himself, Guo Zizhao immediately admitted his mistake.
However, soon, when Yuan Weiming, director of the General Administration of Sports, read the relevant reports, he began to support Guo Zizhao's remarks at the conference.
In the words of Director Yuan Weiming, athletes must have the strength to not admit defeat when facing challenges, and they must have the kind of domineering that gives up their own hands! Guo Zizhao did a better job than the rest of our team members at this point.
After so many years of weakness, China's men's track and field program finally has the courage to speak out to the world. He Guo Zizhao dared to threaten to win 4 Olympic gold medals at a young age, don't the rest of you feel ashamed? Is the 30 gold medal goal really high?
This remark also made those who were secretly making small moves immediately die down. It seems that Guo Zizhao's backstage is still strong......
。。。。。。
It turned out that in the first half of this year, Wu Zhao, the former director of the General Administration of Sports, was promoted. He was transferred from the director of the General Administration to an organ directly under the state and served as the deputy secretary of the working committee.
At the age of 61, Yuan Weiming, the former deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, was appointed as the executive chairman of the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee. This not only takes a fancy to the influence of Director Yuan Weiming in the IOC, but also hopes that he can lead this year's Olympic athletes to achieve great results in the Sydney Olympic Games.
With the transfer of Director Wu Zhao, those in the General Administration of Sports who have been salivating over the huge business interests behind Guo Zizhao have begun to be a little nervous. With tens of millions of endorsement income every year, who can not be impressed......
It's just that because Guo Zizhao has been competing abroad for half a year, they don't have any chances, and they can't catch any tricks. And, as Guo Zizhao broke the men's 100-meter world record and became the world's No. 1 flyer, they knew that the hope of moving Guo Zizhao was getting slimmer and slimmer.
This time, I took this opportunity to make a fuss, and I also wanted to make a final attempt. Because they know that after the end of this Olympic Games, if Guo Zizhao can really add 4 Olympic gold medals in track and field, he will become China's first Olympic person. Even in the history of the world Olympic Games, there is only Jesse. Owens and Carl. Lewis can compare it.
When the time comes, Guo Zizhao will not only become a hero in the eyes of the people of the whole country, but also a banner for the country's external image publicity. At that time, it was not something that a person of their status could move.
Alas...... It's just that I didn't expect that I was slapped to death by Yuan Weiming just after I made a trial! Why did you forget that Zhu Ling, Lao Yuan's proud disciple, is still the deputy director of the Shuchuan Provincial Sports Bureau. walked a Wu Zhao, and a Yuan Weiming. It seems that Guo Zizhao is indeed deeply rooted......
……
A crisis that is not big or small, without Guo Zizhao's knowledge, quickly became calm.
A few days later, the day of the Chinese Olympic delegation to Sydney soon arrived.
In this Olympic delegation, Yuan Weiming personally served as the head of the delegation, and the top leaders of each center served as the leaders of their respective teams. The entire team has a total of nearly 500 people, of which 313 are athletes and nearly 200 other officials and coaches and other support staff.
This time, the national track and field team was led by Director Xie Yalong and Feng Shuyong as the general director, leading a total of 28 men and women to Sydney. Don't look at the large number of participants, but Xie Yalong and Feng Shuyong also understand that except for Guo Zizhao, the others are basically at the level of the preliminaries. Therefore, the burden of winning the championship finally fell on Guo Zizhao......
Thank you again for the reward of "I want to wake up and control the world".
