Guo Zizhao, who returned to the rest area, was warmly welcomed by everyone. However, with the intervention of the coaching staff, Guo Zizhao simply accepted interviews with several media, and then packed up and went back to the hotel to rest. There are still two games to play today, so I need to take a good rest and recharge my batteries.

Guo Zizhao's side is calm, but the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV is very lively. This time, CCTV also broadcast the competition live because of the hot figure Guo Zizhao. In addition, the World Indoor Championships will be held in Japan, and the audience is basically unaffected by the jet lag. And it's the weekend, so there's quite a lot of people watching the game at home.

In the past, when I watched such an international competition, I basically watched foreigners compete for the championship. Unexpectedly, I saw Chinese athletes this time, and they actually entered the finals. And it's a familiar face!

The Spring Festival Gala has just ended for more than half a month, and Guo Zizhao's coquettish singing is still popular on the street. Speaking of which, we have to admire the speed of piracy in our country. Two days after the Spring Festival Gala ended, the songs of "Always Go Home to See" and "Five-Star Red Flag" could be heard all over the street. Therefore, everyone is still quite familiar with Guo Zizhao's figure now.

Coupled with the host's proud introduction, well, it's a pity that everyone only won a bronze medal for Guo Zizhao. Now when I hear it, I'll ...... This guy is so awesome! This is the first sprint medal won by an Asian at the World Indoor Championships! Or are we Chinese cows......

……

It's also that there is no Weibo, WeChat, headlines or anything in this era, otherwise Guo Zizhao will immediately dominate the screen again! Even so, the TV was repeatedly playing the picture of Guo Zizhao winning the third place in the 60-meter final. While also chattering and babbling publicity, the bronze medal won this time is of great significance. This marks that Chinese track and field has begun to enter the world's most influential men's sprint event, and that Chinese sprinters have begun to rank among the world's top sprinters......

Okay, if Guo Zizhao hears these explanations, he will probably have to spray that buddy's face.

Top athletes? I want to too, but I'm still a little bit behind now! His current strength is just a world-class athlete. His biggest advantage is that his performance is stable, because of the existence of the system, Guo Zizhao's competitive level will not fluctuate too much. Therefore, the results of each final can always remain in the top 5 of the best results of the year.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the system that Guo Zizhao does not have much chance of an outbreak. Therefore, whether or not he can win the championship at present does not depend on Guo Zizhao but on the performance of his opponent. If the opponent plays outstandingly, Guo Zizhao's stable results can only compete for a medal; If the opponent does not play well, then Guo Zizhao's stable results may be able to pick up the missing championship.

That's the difference between the top and the best. Although the results of the top players will fluctuate to a certain extent, as long as they play well and their state explodes, then the championship is in the bag. As for the first-class players, they not only have to rely on their own performance, but also depend on the performance of their opponents. This is Guo Zizhao's current sorrow......

However, if you can get more attribute points this year and improve your attributes again, then the situation will be different in the future......

。。。。。。

Before the semi-finals of the 60-meter hurdles in the afternoon, a piece of unexpected good news came to Guo Zizhao. Johnson retired due to injury.

American athlete Alain. Johnson and British athlete Colin. Jackson, since the mid-90s, has been the "twin champions" who dominated the men's sprint hurdles. So far, the 28-year-old has won two World Championships in the 110m hurdles, one Olympic 110m hurdles and one World Indoor Championships in the 60m hurdles. In Guo Zizhao's memory, Johnson will win many world championships after 2000. It wasn't until Liu Feiren was born that he slowly withdrew from the field of athletics.

And the 32-year-old Colin. Jackson is also not inferior to Johnson. The British, who is only 1.72m tall, is a sprint event

BUG-like existence. The short player pushed the speed, rhythm and frequency of the hurdles to the extreme. In addition, he is also the current world record holder in the men's 60-meter hurdles and 110-meter hurdles, and is known as the "king of the century hurdles".

These two have basically locked in the top two in the competitions they have participated in in recent years. Plus the 60m hurdles champion of the last World Indoor Championships, Garcia from Cuba. The competition for the 60-meter hurdles at this year's Indoor World Championships can be described as extremely fierce.

Originally, Guo Zizhao didn't have much hope for this 60-meter hurdles competition. Now I didn't expect Johnson to retire due to injury, hehe...... Is there a better chance of hitting the medal?

What a godsend!

……

In the semifinals, Guo Zizhao, who was in a happy mood, didn't feel too much pressure. A "stamina" of 83 points and a "status value" of 76 points indicate that the level of this group is not too high. In the end, Guo Zizhao successfully entered the final as the first in the group. The time of 7.52 seconds equaled the Asian record set by him at the Moscow Indoor Championships a year ago.

In the finals in the evening, Guo Zizhao's "physical strength" also dropped to 81, and his "state value" became 71 all of a sudden.

I'll go...... It seems that the two bigwigs, Jackson and Garcia, are still quite obvious in their suppression of themselves. These athletes who have won the world's top track and field championships don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps. Guo Zizhao secretly rejoiced, fortunately Johnson retired, or his "state value" would have fallen below 70.

There's not much more to say, it's time to fight. In addition to these two bigwigs, for other players, Guo Zizhao feels that his chances of winning are quite big. After being fully armed, Guo Zizhao stood on the starting line with confidence.

“on your marks…… set”

"Phew!"

With a gunshot rang out, all the players rushed out. Guo Zizhao was in third place with a starting time of 0.135 seconds. Jackson and Garcia were the two big guys, with 0.122 seconds and 0.127 seconds in the top two.

After Guo Zizhao's "precision" attribute was improved, it also had a significant effect on the improvement of the performance of the hurdle event. With the "Precision" attribute, you can improve the control and finesse of your movements. To put it simply, although Guo Zizhao's hurdling results were good in the past, because of the low value of the "precision" attribute, once he competed with the world's first-class masters, it would give people a feeling of rough technical movements. Even if it is not compared with Jackson and other bigwigs, compared with several other athletes who entered the finals, Guo Zizhao's hurdling skills are a little rough. That's why we don't grasp the details enough.

This is not Guo Zizhao's hurdle technique, after all, Guo Zizhao has now accepted the "advanced hurdle 110-meter hurdles sprint technique" upgraded by the system. Therefore, Guo Zizhao is not weaker than any opponent in terms of technique and awareness, what he lacks is his ability to control his body and technique. At present, the "precision" attribute of only 57 points is only the level of a second-level athlete. Obviously, it is still a bit difficult to fully control the "advanced sprinting technique" of the international level with such an attribute value. Especially for hurdle events, the details of the technical movements are more demanding. Therefore, if Guo Zizhao can further increase the "precision" attribute, then the improvement of the performance of the 110-meter hurdles or 60-meter hurdles will be more obvious than the performance of the 100-meter or 60-meter sprint.

This was the same in the 60m hurdles final. Jackson and Garcia distanced themselves from the crowd after three hurdles, and the rhythm and frequency between the hurdles were perfect. Both in terms of technique and speed, it is a notch higher than other players. Although Guo Zizhao is also trying his best to catch up, the gap between him and the two has not narrowed, and he is still struggling in the second group. It wasn't until the end of the last hurdle that Guo Zizhao finally emerged from the second group and thus occupied the third position.

The final sprint, hit the line......

Everyone crossed the finish line in an instant, but Guo Zizhao himself understood that he finally had another bronze medal in his hands!

Oh yes! Grandma's, it's not easy......

The results were quick to show, with Jackson first in 7.38 seconds, just 0.08 seconds shy of the world record of 7.30 seconds he had set five years earlier.

I'll go...... O livestock! Guo Zizhao silently complained, this result is the best result in recent years. At present, Jackson is the only one who has run the 7.40 seconds mark in such an international competition. It's a bug-like existence......

Cuba's García finished second with a time of 7.46 seconds. Guo Zizhao won another bronze medal with a time of 7.54 seconds, 0.02 seconds worse than in the semifinals. There's no way, who let their "status value" be suppressed so low......

。。。。。。

Guo Zizhao's start with another bronze medal made the rest area of the Chinese team cheer again. Zhang Peng was even more excited and trembled, "Two medals, two medals in men's sprinting." This time it's really amazing, and I've finally come out of it. It's going to be better in the future...... Lao Guo, Lao Guo! Old Song! ”

Zhang Peng turned around and greeted Song Ping and his father Guo Sheng, "Old Guo, and Old Song!" This time, I really thank you, thank you for cultivating this guy Guo Zizhao. This time it really won glory for the face of our Chinese team! ”

Zhang Peng patted the shoulders of the two of them vigorously and muttered vigorously, "It's really up to you this time." If there were no Guo Zizhao's two medals, this competition would be ugly. ”

"Tongxi, Tongxi" Dad also smiled on his face, "This kid is also lucky this time." We need to keep working hard. ”

"That's it, that's it." Song Ping also continued, "If Johnson hadn't retired this time, this kid's medal would have been suspended." The other members of the track and field team are also working hard, Lao Zhang, why are you so pessimistic. ”

"Alas...... That also has to be Guo Zizhao's strength. If you don't have the strength, you can't seize the opportunity. Zhang Peng shook his head, and then said, "Old man, don't comfort me. Everyone understands that it is basically impossible to win medals in other events. It's also a loss that Guo Zizhao is here this time, otherwise he would have been shaved back again. Alas...... It's hard! ”

Zhang Peng patted Song Ping's shoulder, shook his head and walked back. Song Ping and his father looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't care, Lao Guo." Lao Zhang: This has been too much pressure recently. ”

"Well, it's fine." Dad Guo Sheng also nodded, "I know, it's not easy for Zhang to guide." So, we have to be able to relax in the future. Let Guo Zizhao get another gold medal back, and Lao Zhang will be much easier at that time. ”

"Haha...... Okay, that's it! ”
