Chapter 331: Retire! Retire! Or retire!

After the men's 100-meter sprint championship is in hand, the remaining 200-meter sprint is even more stress-free.

Guo Zizhao's strength in the 200 meters is even more powerful. easily ran naked, Guo Zizhao won the championship with a time of 19.55 seconds.

The championship of the 110-meter hurdles fell to Alain. Johnson's hands. This buddy's body this year is disease-free, and his condition is also good. Except for Guo Zizhao's number of races, the other championships basically fell into his hands.

And the veteran Colin. Although Jackson also participated in the finals, he has been in mediocre form since the second half of this year. This time, the finals were also exhausted, and in the end they didn't even enter the top three.

The men's 400m championship fell into the hands of Bahamian player Merck this time, and the results were also average. What makes Guo Zizhao strange is that Michael. Johnson also did not participate in this Finals. Otherwise, with his strength, even if he is not Guo Zizhao's opponent, it will be a piece of cake to defeat other opponents.

However, for other people's affairs, Guo Zizhao has always disliked to worry about it. After the end of the competition, I began to check the harvest of the finals with satisfaction.

The reward of 4 attribute points was added to "Bounce" by Guo Zizhao again. This stat has also been increased to 56 points! This time, the XP reward is not much, and it is only 700 points.

This is also because the 200-meter event is the first time to participate in the finals, so the participation is 400 points, the 200-meter champion, the 200-point champion, and the 100-meter champion are only 100 points because of the halving. No more records were broken, so that's all there is to it.

……

After the finals, Guo Zizhao's international competitions this year are all over. However, before returning home, Alain. Johnson stumbled to the door.

"What? Are you really planning a bootcamp? In the face of Johnson's proposal, Guo Zizhao was also very curious, why did this guy be so concerned about this matter!

"Hey...... It's not a bootcamp either. It's just that a few of us are getting together together, training together for a period of time, and exchanging experiences together. Johnson also said excitedly, "How lively is it for everyone to train together?" Otherwise, it's boring to train by yourself all the time......"

"There's some truth to that. But who are you going to call along? In terms of timing, how are you going to arrange it? ”

"It's all old rivals who participate, hehe......" As soon as he said this, Johnson also gushed endlessly, "You and I must participate, Trammell has no problem, Garcia I told him last year, and he is also quite interested." If you think there are too few people, you can also call Chen Yanhao in your country. ”

"By the way," Johnson said with a smile, "besides, if you think there are promising young people, you can also bring a piece of knowledge!" ”

Hey...... That's a good one! Guo Zizhao was also interested when he heard it, and when the time came, let Liu Feifei also follow him to see and see!

This is a rare internal exchange between the world's top five masters! Well, it's also necessary for young people to open their eyes......

。。。。。。

"Huh, isn't that right? Colin. Why didn't Jackson go? Guo Zizhao also reacted suddenly and asked suspiciously.

How did Johnson leave this one out? These two have been old rivals for more than ten years? After falling in love and killing each other for so many years, the two won't suddenly have a conflict, right?

Looking at Guo Zizhao's puzzled expression, Johnson also smiled bitterly, "Hehe, do you think I didn't invite him?" I told him a long time ago! However, listening to him, it is estimated that he will be ready to retire after a while. Whether you can come or not, not necessarily! ”

"What? Ready to retire! Guo Zizhao also screamed, with an expression of disbelief.

"That's right! The old guy is 34 years old this year and will be 35 years old in February next year. Johnson also said with emotion, "In the past two years, the old guy's state has not been as good as one." This year, in addition to the time in Rome, the time exploded, running 12.97 seconds. No other race has run under 13.20 seconds. It is estimated that he is also disheartened, alas, the years are not forgiving......"

"Yes......" Guo Zizhao could only nod regretfully when he heard Johnson say this. Athletes are like that, there will always be new people who will rise, and there will also be old people who will retire.

When he first entered the international arena the year before last, Colin . Jackson is still the invincible "Wilson gentleman", or the same with Alain. Johnson's famous "twin heroes". And now, Lian is quite old......

Guo Zizhao and Johnson also sighed for a while, and then chatted about the specific schedule.

"This year's competition has just ended, and everyone is tired. Next year's international arena will not have any major competitions other than the World Cup in Athletics. So I'm going to do it around Christmas, not for long, just about a week. What do you say? Johnson also asked Guo Zizhao's opinion.

"Hmm...... We have national athletes in mid-November, but it's over in the middle of November. Or just before Christmas, around December 10th. After the camp is over, you can go home for Christmas, and we can come back for the New Year. That way, it won't delay you from preparing for next year's International Indoor Championships. ”

"Okay, no problem! I'll contact you with the place, and I'll be sure to satisfy you when the time comes! Haha......"

……

After sending off the satisfied Johnson, Guo Zizhao flew back to China the next day.

This year, except for the Ninth National Games in more than two months, my competition tasks have all been completed! As for the Ninth National Games, hehe...... Is that still something? You can win the championship by running casually, you don't have to worry about it at all......

However, Guo Zizhao, who returned to Rongcheng, has not rested for two days, and a series of heavy news has come from the international athletics world.

First up is Canadian flyer, former world record holder in the men's 100m, 34-year-old veteran Donovan. Bailey has officially announced his retirement!

The veteran was the men's 100m champion at the 1995 World Championships and the 100m at Atlanta 1996, and also set a world record of 9.84 seconds at Atlanta.

It's just that Bailey's glory days are only two or three years. After 1998, due to injuries, Pele fell out of the ranks of the world's top players. There's nothing more to achieve.

When Guo Zizhao first entered the international arena the year before last, he also played against the opponent several times. But later, Pele slowly couldn't even enter the finals of the World Series. At this year's World Championships in Edmonton, Canada, Pele was also eliminated in the semifinals.

……

If Pele's retirement has not yet attracted the attention of the international athletics community, a few days later, the same 34-year-old veteran Brunie. Surin's retirement is another heavy blow to the Canadians!

As another Canadian flyer on the same level as Bailey, Surin is no less famous in international athletics than the other party. As early as 1993 and 1995, Surin won the 60m event at the World Indoor Athletics Championships twice.

And in the past few years after Pele's injury, Surin has carried the banner of the Canadian men's 100-meter sprint. Not only did he repeatedly break into the finals of the World Championships, but he also ran a time of 9.84 seconds in the men's 100-meter final of the World Championships in 1999.

It's just that Su Lin was a little out of time. At the peak of Surin's 100-meter sprint, it was just in time to catch up with Morris. Green's glorious years. And immediately afterwards, Guo Zizhao began to rise strongly.

Although Surin's 100-meter results over the years are also good, he has always hovered around the fifth or sixth place in the international rankings. Although I participated in a lot of finals in major competitions, I failed to win a gold medal in the World Championships or the Olympic Games. There is no chance now, and it will be even more impossible in the future......

Especially after sustaining an injury at last year's Sydney Olympics, Surin's form has been deteriorating this year. At this year's World Championships held at his doorstep, Surin was also eliminated early. This made the veteran completely disheartened, and finally made up his mind to retire......

Just when people were shocked, they didn't expect that the retirement of the two Canadian flyers was just an appetizer.

A week later, Colin. Jackson and Michael. Johnson announced his retirement one after another, which pushed this trend to the peak......
