Chapter Seventy-Three: Glory Attained

"Phew!"
With a gunshot, Guo Zizhao rushed out. The big screen also showed their respective starting times, and Guo Zizhao ranked second with a time of 0.142 seconds. Asahara's 0.138 seconds was in first place.
After Guo Zizhao rushed out, he felt the drizzle of hair slapping on his face. A sticky stream of rain ran down the top of the head and slowly flowed down again. What a fucking nasty! Guo Zizhao didn't have time to sigh about other things, so he could only increase the speed step by step at his own pace.
Hasten...... Hasten...... Re-acceleration ......
The feeling of the rain slapping on his body became more obvious, mixed with the cheers and cheers around him, Guo Zizhao could no longer hear clearly. I only felt that my heartbeat was "bang" and "bang", and the light above my head was also shining strangely under the reflection of the rain. Guo Zizhao also felt that the lights were shaking, and his vision was a little blurred.
However, Guo Zizhao still relied on his own feelings to activate the "Strong Primary Sprint Skill", and his speed slowly increased again.
Disturbed by the rain, the performance of several other people was obviously affected to varying degrees. In particular, the track was soaked in rain all afternoon, and everyone obviously felt a little tired when kicking their legs. This allowed everyone to enter the distance of running on the way, which was obviously several meters longer than usual.
After running the 50-meter distance, everyone began to see the gap between the several runners. Asahara's Xuanzhi in the third province and Guo Zizhao in the fourth province are in the first group together. Zhou Wei in lane 5 and Kazakh player Watson in lane 6 are also close behind. The other four skaters have fallen behind and have already dropped out of contention for medals.
However, at this time, Guo Zizhao has begun to enter the acceleration rhythm that he is good at. With the addition of height and leg length and "strong stride running shoes", Guo Zizhao took a big step by step and slowly opened the distance between him and Chaoyuan Xuanzhi. Although the frequency of Asahara's Xuanzhi is slightly faster than Guo Zizhao's, this little advantage is not enough to make up for the gap between him and Guo Zizhao.
Transcendence! After another 20 meters, Guo Zizhao soon completely surpassed Asahara's Xuanzhi by one position, and with Guo Zizhao's sprint, the distance was getting bigger and bigger......
The rain blurred Guo Zizhao's vision again, but Guo Zizhao couldn't feel anything anymore. Only the vague finish line in front of me slowly became clear.
Hasten...... Sprint...... It's a sprint......
Hit the line!
Guo Zizhao was the first to cross the finish line! Champion! The championship is here!
Guo Zizhao finally won his first Asian 100-meter sprint gold medal! Become a new generation of "Asian Flyer"!
After the victory, Guo Zizhao completely ignored the rain on his body and waved his arms vigorously towards the sparse spectator stands. Then, he excitedly posed for his own unique celebration again.
The big screen also quickly showed the results of this final, Guo Zizhao, 10.07 seconds, breaking the Asian record. second place Nobuhara Asahara, with a time of 10.15 seconds; Zhou Wei, third place, with a time of 10.39 seconds. Wind speed headwind, -0.05 m/s, the result is valid.
This time, Guo Zizhao finally officially improved the Asian record of the men's 100 meters by 0.01 seconds! If it weren't for the impact of this rain, Guo Zizhao's results might have been better.
Asahara's Xuanji also fought in the final this time, but the impact of the rain on him was also quite obvious. The last is Zhou Wei, 10.39 seconds is estimated to be the worst result of this guy in the past two years. I didn't expect to get a bronze medal, which is really unexpected.
Guo Zizhao, who finished reading the results, didn't have too long to celebrate this time. It's really cold in the rain...... As soon as I returned to the lounge, I changed into dry clothes and drank a big sip of hot water, and the staff of the organizing committee rushed over. Guo Zizhao didn't say much, and hurried to complete the urine test. This ghost weather, you have to hurry back and cover it, otherwise you will catch a cold and tomorrow's 110-meter hurdles competition will be troublesome.

On the way back, everyone was very lively. Feng Shuyong was very happy and said to Guo Zizhao, "Your gold medal is of great significance." In years, you are the third athlete to win the men's 100-meter battle between China and Japan. The first is Zheng Chen in 85 and 89, the second is Lin Wei in 95, and the third is you! Ha ha...... But you're better than the first two, not only winning against Japan Jr. but also breaking the Asian record. This is what really convinces the little devils. Haha......"
Feng Shuyong continued, "At the Asian Games at the end of the year, if you can win another 100-meter gold medal, it will be even more powerful!" You know, our Chinese team has never won a gold medal in the men's 100m at the Asian Games. When the time comes, you will really become a hero in the hearts of the people of the whole country......"
"Hmmm! Okay, I promise to win this gold medal in the Asian Games and win glory for the country! Guo Zizhao also immediately patted his chest at this time to express his determination. China's title of the first person to win the men's 100-meter gold medal in the Asian Games can't be cheapened by others!
"Good! Keep up the good work tomorrow, the gold medal in the 110m hurdles will depend on you and Chen Yanhao. Ha ha...... By the way, Zhou Wei, you also performed well this time. If it weren't for the heavy rain, your results would have been much better. Well...... It's not bad to win a bronze medal this time, it's not unjust to lose to Asahara, and you have to continue to work hard in the future. β
"Hmm...... Good seal guidance. Zhou Wei, who won a bronze medal, was also very happy. However, what Zhou Wei didn't know was that in the original history, because there was no Guo Zizhao's indiscriminate entry, there was no sudden participation in Chaoyuan Xuanzhi. And Zhou Wei also relied on this time with a time of 10.39 seconds to defeat two young Japanese players, and unexpectedly won the Asian Championships.
I don't know if Zhou Wei would be able to laugh so happily after knowing the real historical events. It's really a trick......
β¦β¦
At 9 a.m. on the 23rd, the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles began smoothly. Yesterday's light rain had stopped in the middle of the night. After a few hours of drying, the playing field has also returned to normal.
The 110-meter hurdles event has always been the traditional advantage of the Chinese team in track events. In the past few years, there was the pressure of the old column king Li Tong, and in recent years, there has been the existence of the new column king Chen Yanhao. It can be said that this is a gold medal that has long been planned by the Chinese team. And Guo Zizhao's sudden rise in the past two years has put Chen Yanhao in the runner-up position. Therefore, for this gold medal, the Chinese team is also full of confidence.
The course of the game speaks volumes about this. From the start, Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao firmly occupied the top two positions. And as the competition continued, the distance between the two and other national players also widened, and there was no hope of surpassing others at all. In the end, both men crossed the finish line by more than 5 meters beyond the third-place finisher. It fully proves the supremacy of the Chinese team in this project.
Guo Zizhao was still one step ahead of others in the end, winning the championship with a time of 13.35 seconds. Although he failed to break Li Tong's Asian record of 13.25 seconds, he also set his best in history. Chen Yanhao, on the other hand, lost to Guo Zizhao again with a time of 13.40 seconds and failed to complete his desire to defend the 110-meter hurdles title at the Asian Championships.
Soon, Guo Zizhao's way of celebrating appeared on the track of the Asian Championships again.

"It's nice to be young!" Song Ping looked at Guo Zizhao, who was surrounded by reporters taking pictures in the distance, and said with emotion.
"This baby is just a little showy." Although Dad Guo Sheng said it unceremoniously, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"You. It's just cheap and good. As an athlete, isn't the most glorious time now? β
"Then his baby is still far away! There are still Asian Games at the end of the year, and there are Olympic Games in two years, and he still has a long way to go...... Dad also said longingly, "When his baby can win the Olympic championship, it will be called glory." β
"Yes! Olympic champions. Lao Tzu has been in the national team for more than 20 years, let alone the Olympic champion, and he has never even brought out the Asian champion. Lao Guo, I really thank you two this time. It also made me realize such a championship dream! Song Ping also muttered, "If Guo Zizhao can really win an Olympic championship, Lao Tzu's life will be worth it." β
"Sure you can take it! This turtle son said in Lao Tzu's ear all day long that he had to win a lot of Olympic championships in the future to complete the task. Dog's day, you know how to blow the shell...... I still want to win a lot of Olympic championships! In the future, if his baby can't win the Olympic championship, Lao Tzu will train him to the death. Dad laughed as he spoke, "Old Song, we have to continue to cooperate in the future." Gotta get an Olympic champion to see......"
"Definitely! You're just driving me away now, and I'm not leaving, haha...... Lao Tzu is now the coach of the Asian champion. Let the people in the field management center see that Lao Tzu is not a person without ability! Song Ping finally said fiercely. It seems that although Song Ping didn't say anything about his early retirement, he was not without resentment in his heart.
"Alright, stop whining. We still have to urge Guo Zizhao to go for a urine test as soon as possible. This turtle son, when he is in the limelight, it will be endless, hehe......"
"Cut! You're an old man, and you still talk about your baby. If my son had been so promising, I would have been overjoyed. β
"...... Why is your baby out of business? The graduate student of Jingcheng Medical College has graduated, and this year, in order to come back to take care of you, I have come back to Rongcheng to look for a job. If Director Li Mingzhong hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that your son had also joined the provincial track and field team. Dad also turned his head and said to Song Ping, "Your son is a graduate student in sports medicine, and it's a pity to just run away to be a team doctor." Why don't I discuss it with Guo Zizhao, and then ask your son to join our team, and let him be in charge of Guo Zizhao's sports health care work. After all, the two of us are still a bit of a layman, and money is not a problem, what do you say? β
"Hmm...... I can't call the shots about this. I have to go back and ask my son for his opinion. Song Ping couldn't answer for a while, so he had to push it on his son. I am retired anyway, and it is nothing to get money for Guo Zizhao to work. Although Guo Zizhao doesn't have much to do here, the money is also refreshing, and there are a lot of honors. But his son graduated from graduate school, so it seems a pity to give up the country's official establishment to work for Guo Zizhao.
"Well, let's talk about it later, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Dad's rough nerves didn't feel Song Ping's meaning at all, and said to himself, "Let's go, it's almost." Let's go urge Guo Zizhao to come back. It's still a little cold this day, but don't catch a cold! β
