"What? Laureus Best Male Athlete nomination again? What good news this is! Guo Zizhao didn't expect that the old man Song Ping rushed over, just to tell himself such a thing.

"Right? That's not good news, but you've been nominated for this award for the fourth year in a row! Song Ping saw that Guo Zizhao looked disappreciative, and explained with a smile.

"Cut...... It's just a nomination! Guo Zizhao also pouted, "I nominate Lao Tzu every year, and I only won the award once, so there's nothing to be happy about!" ”

To be honest, with Guo Zizhao's current achievements, he doesn't attach so much importance to this award. Besides, the Laureus World Sports Awards have not been so fair in the selection of the best male athlete in the past two years.

In the 2002 selection, although Guo Zizhao achieved the reputation of "King of World Sprinting" at the World Championships last year, he still lost to the hands of "King of Cars" Schumacher. The reason, in fact, Guo Zizhao also understands, is not because Schumacher is a Caucasian and a German at the same time.

As for the selection in 2003, although Guo Zizhao achieved the "Super Slam" with the previous year's Athletics World Cup and was nominated for the best male athlete again, he was once again defeated by another Caucasians. That is the four-time Tour de France champion of the United States. Armstrong.

In fact, Guo Zizhao also had a premonition about this failure. In the past two years, he has been in the limelight in the international athletics arena, which is indeed a little unacceptable for Westerners who have always liked to occupy a strong position in the world.

Since Guo Zizhao can't be stopped in terms of performance, he can only suppress Guo Zizhao in awards. In particular, there is not a single white athlete among the winners of the best male athlete? How can this be......

Although the results of these two winners are inferior to Guo Zizhao. But it can be regarded as attracting worldwide attention, and defeating Guo Zizhao to win the Laureus Best Male Athlete Award is barely reasonable.

Therefore, although Guo Zizhao was also nominated for the best male athlete in the past two years, he still fell short in the final selection.

……

In this way, Guo Zizhao actually has no expectations for this award this year.

"Hehe...... Song Ping also seemed to know Guo Zizhao's thoughts, and said with a smile, "This year's award is different from the previous two years. Mercedes-Benz replied, saying that you have a good chance of winning this year. ”

"Oh...... Impossible, right? Those foreign devils have changed sex? Guo Zizhao also looked unconvinced.

"I didn't believe it at first, but Mercedes-Benz explained it to me, and I don't think the problem should be big this time. Haha......" Song Ping also explained to Guo Zizhao with a smile.

"In the first two years, because you were too popular, and no white person had won this most valuable award, so the Lawrence Sports Institute was forced to choose someone else. But this year, hehe......" Song Ping also said proudly, "Your main opponent this year is still the "car king" Schumacher, but this time, it is estimated that he will have no drama." ”

"Oh...... This is what Mercedes-Benz told you? ”

"That's right! They say that now that Caucasians have won the best male athlete for two years in a row, they should be satisfied. Besides, although Schumacher has a good result this year, he also won his sixth championship. But compared to you, there is still a gap, haha......"

Song Ping also grinned happily and said, "You won three championships in the indoor world championships and five championships in the outdoor world championships last year. Among them, he also led the Chinese relay team to win the world championship in the men's 4x100m relay! These are all big breakthroughs that shocked the world! It's not much better than Schumacher......"

"Oh? Isn't Schumacher German? They don't even take care of their own people this time? Guo Zizhao still didn't believe it.

"It's true that it's the Germans, but Schumacher represents the Scuderia Ferrari! Hehe......" Song Ping also blinked and smiled slyly, "Let the Ferrari driver win this award for the second time, how can you make the Mercedes team embarrassed!" Don't forget, the founder of this award is the Daimler Group, and Mercedes-Benz is the main sponsor. ”

"I'm ......" Guo Zizhao couldn't help but complain, and then laughed happily, "Haha...... It's just that they bite the dog. In the end, it was Lao Tzu who took advantage......"

"Right! That's what it means! Haha......"

。。。。。。

Guo Zizhao, who got this unexpected joy, was also in a good mood, and in the next few days, he was also very energetic in training.

However, such a peaceful life did not last for a few days, and two more uninvited guests visited.

Shang Xiutang, deputy director of the tour management center, and Zhang Dongya, the head coach who has just become a regular, also took time out of the year to inspect Guo Zizhao's swimming training this time.

"Lao Guo, Lao Song, we are uninvited this time! I've wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I haven't been able to find time. It just so happened that I came over directly when I was free in the past two days, and I didn't notify you in advance, don't ...... mind" Deputy Director Shang Xiutang also looked like he was familiar with everyone.

"Where is it, you are here, Guo Zizhao's swimming results have to be checked more." Dad and Song Ping are also very polite in front of these two, after all, for swimming training, they are just two knives. Now that the travel management center is here, especially the head coach Zhang Dongya, the two of them want to ask for advice.

"What the hell is off!" Deputy Director Shang Xiutang also said with a smile, "I heard that Guo Zizhao's current 100-meter freestyle results can swim within 50 seconds, which is the best in the whole of Asia." Let's just come here to find out, and we have a number in mind. ”

"Well, it should!" Dad also nodded hurriedly, "It just so happens that Guo Zizhao is still preparing for the activities, I'll go and ask him to prepare, and I'll let Director Zhang give him some pointers later." ”

"Haha...... I can't say any pointers," Zhang Dongya also smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go over and help Guo Zizhao warm up......"

……

Waiting for his father Guo Sheng and head coach Zhang Dongya to go over to help Guo Zizhao warm up, the deputy director of Shang Xiutang also chatted with Song Ping intentionally or unintentionally.

"Old Song, some time ago, I saw that Guo Zizhao's training camp was not small, didn't delay the daily training, right?"

"Huh...... It's okay, everything is going according to plan. Song Ping also pretended not to understand.

"That's good!" As soon as Shang Xiutang saw that Song Ping was sloppy to him, that is, he didn't hide it, he said directly, "Old Song, if Guo Zizhao can swim within 50 seconds, then the Olympics will definitely be decided." However, in daily training, you can't choose one over the other! If you just enter the Olympic finals in the swimming event, it's not Guo Zizhao's style......"

"Hey...... Who said it was just a final? Song Ping also said happily, "Guo Zizhao said it himself, and he also wants to win the gold medal in swimming!" ”

"Oh...... So, Guo Zizhao's real level is more than about 49 seconds and 60 seconds? Shang Xiutang's eyes also lit up immediately, "Do you still have a hidden hand?" ”

"I don't know about this, you have to ask Guo Zizhao to go by himself." Song Ping immediately started sloppy again, "Besides, there is still more than half a year before the start of the Olympic Games, who knows what the situation will be when the time comes?" ”

"I'm ...... Old Song, I didn't find out that you were so sloppy before! No, after the test, I have to ask Guo Zizhao in person......"

Soon, half an hour passed, and Guo Zizhao also finished warming up and stood on the jumping platform.

"Each...... Beep! ”

As the starting sound sounded, Guo Zizhao jumped up violently and smoothly entered the swimming lane......
