Chapter 947: Take a step back and open the sky

Guo Zizhao gladly accepted the IAAF's secret warning. Although his influence in the international athletics world is not small, there is no need to compete with the IAAF.

Besides, in recent years, because of the pressure to complete the system tasks, I have been continuously expanding my influence in the international and domestic athletics world through my own club, and I am also doing my best to help my disciples win the championship of the top international competitions. However, after passing the systematic evaluation and successfully reaching the standard of "sports boss", there is no need for me to be so eager for quick success, I can completely slow down the pace and come slowly.

In addition, since 2018 is only a small year in international athletics, Guo Zizhao is not so concerned about other international events except for the Indoor World Championships and the World Cup Track and Field Championships.

Of course, the cultivation of the three young disciples Jiang Hengnan, Zeng Jianhua and Ren Xuefeng still can't be relaxed. Giving them more tournament titles when necessary is good for increasing their "loyalty".

Therefore, in this year's Diamond League, Guo Zizhao's focus is also on the performance of Jiang Hengnan and Zeng Jianhua. As for Zhang Peimeng, Bei Ke and Yi Jing and others, then let them play freely, anyway, they don't have any important games this year, as long as they have fun.

Of course, although Yi Jing won the championship at the World Indoor Championships and achieved the "Grand Slam", Bei Ke's performance in the 100-meter sprint event was also very amazing, and Zeng Jianhua and Jiang Hengnan also made a big breakthrough in their respective events, but the IAAF was a little dissatisfied with the performance of Guo Zizhao's disciples this year.

The reason is also very simple, because the most outstanding athletes in international athletics this year are really not Guo Zizhao's disciples!

……

At the beginning of the year, Coleman and Baker made their debut in the indoor 60-meter sprint, which not only gave the American media infinite hope, but also made the IAAF overjoyed.

After veterans such as Gay, Gatlin and Rogers have aged, the U.S. team finally has a successor in the men's sprint event. Compared to Bromell, who has performed well in the previous two years but is now somewhat tepid, Coleman and Baker, who are in better physical condition, are clearly more suitable to become the leaders of the American men's sprint.

And these two athletes did not disappoint the IAAF, especially Coleman, who not only ran the latest American record of 6.34 seconds in the 60-meter sprint event at the beginning of the year, but also beat two Chinese athletes at the Birmingham Indoor World Championships and won the championship with a super time of 6.37 seconds. Under the excitement of the IAAF, Coleman's momentum for winning the championship this time is even greater than Yi Jing's achievement of the "Grand Slam".

In this year's Diamond League, Coleman also continued to perform well, not only winning several international top championships in 9.8 seconds, but also beating three Chinese players in the finals again, winning the championship with an international top score of 9.79 seconds.

Tut-tut...... Coleman's performance this year is the best in the IAAF men's sprint event!

Of course, in addition to Coleman, in the men's 110m hurdles, Shubenkov, who ran under 13 seconds several times this year, also beat two Chinese players to win the Diamond League championship, which also made the IAAF very satisfied.

A few days later, at the finals in Zurich, the performance of another young American player, Lyles, made the IAAF even more excited.

……

Noah. Lyles is the men's 100-meter sprint champion at the World Youth Championships two years ago, and he has also had a good performance since he began to test the international arena last year, especially in the 200-meter sprint event, which also made Guo Zizhao full of praise at the beginning.

And this year, Zhang Peimeng did not participate in the 200-meter Diamond League competition due to the decline in strength. As for Don Kema, this year, in addition to his main event of 400 meters, other energy is focused on the 100 meter event, so for the 200 meter event, it is just a meaningful participation in one race.

It is precisely for this reason that the men's 200-meter sprint event of this year's Diamond League has unexpectedly become a place of abuse by American teenager Lyles.

At the first Diamond League in Doha in early May, Lyles won a championship with an international top time of 19.86 seconds. At the Eugene station in early June, Lyles made persistent efforts and won the championship easily with a time of 19.89 seconds. By the time it came to Morocco in mid-July, Lyles, who was getting better and better, set a world best this year, winning the championship with an international top time of 19.65 seconds. At the same time, he also made himself the second international top master in international athletics to break through the 19.70 second mark in the past two years.

At the Diamond League Finals in Zurich, the imposing Lyles once again ran the world's top time of 19.70 seconds without any pressure from his opponents, and finally won the championship again with a time of 19.67 seconds. It can be said that Lyles' performance in the men's 200m event this season is also the best in the entire international athletics world.

Of course, in addition to the 200m event, Lyles is also very strong in the men's 100m event, and he also has an international first-class level within 10 seconds. At the National Track and Field Championships in June, Lyles even won the national championship in the American men's 100-meter dash with a top international time of 9.88 seconds, beating the careless Coleman.

It can be said that in this year's men's sprint event in international athletics, the performance of three young American players Coleman, Lyles and Baker also made everyone full of hope for the future of the American men's sprint event. In the future, maybe the U.S. team will still be able to compete with the Chinese team, and even hope to overtake!

……

However, in the men's 400-meter sprint, the U.S. team has no advantage at the moment.

American veteran Rasean. Merritt is 32 years old this year, and after being unexpectedly eliminated from the World Championships in London last year, this year's LaSean Brown. Merritt's form is still poor, and his time has slipped to the international third-rate level outside of 45.50 seconds. The remaining main players of the US team in the 400m event are also only at the international top or international first-class level of about 44.50 seconds, and it is definitely impossible to defeat the Chinese players in the international top competition.

And the South African king Van Niekerk, who was originally the strongest in the 400-meter sprint event in the past two years, had a hot brain at the end of last year and ran to play a few games of rugby, but the result was tragic. Van Niekerk had surgery for a knee injury and was depressed for the entire season this year.

Therefore, in the men's 400-meter sprint event this year, because Beko and Van Niekerk basically did not participate, although Botswana, Gardnell, Klee and other masters also won many championships, but in the finals, after Beko came out, he was still easily swept away.

In the end, he won the championship in Zurich with a time of 43.95 seconds, nearly 10 meters ahead of the other competitors, and proved to everyone that even if he did not put much effort into the 400m event this year, he is still the world's top player.

Although his disciple only won a championship in the finals of the Diamond League this year, Guo Zizhao did not have any dissatisfaction. The overall champion of the Diamond League, there is a chance every year, no big deal.

Besides, at next year's World Championships in Doha, Zhang Peimeng, Yi Jing and Bike can all compete as defending champions, so this championship is no longer of much use to them. It's better to let other athletes win the championship, so that the IAAF can have peace of mind for a while......

However, having said that, Guo Zizhao's eyes are already on the upcoming World Cup track and field competitions. Hey...... The champion of the Diamond League can be allowed, but the champion of the World Cup track and field competition can't be allowed......
