Chapter 110: A January in Europe (1)

Henelo, an old town in the east of the Netherlands, is almost 200 years old. Located in the province of Oberijssel, near the German border. The city of Hengelo is well developed by railways and shipping, and is the transportation center of the eastern part of the Netherlands and the former industrial center.

At the beginning of June, Guo Zizhao was very depressed and followed Song Ping and his party here. The IAAF Grand Prix in the Netherlands will be held here two days later.

Originally, Guo Zizhao listened to the game in the Netherlands and still had some thoughts, the Netherlands...... It's a world-famous open country. The name of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is the "sex capital", Guo Zizhao was like thunder in his last life. I thought I would be lucky enough to see it this time, but ...... Who knows, this race is actually held in this city that I have never heard of before.

I don't know how the IAAF chose this? Hmph, hum...... Well, there is no way, the hot beauties can't watch it now, now it can only be to admire the Dutch tulips. What? Tulips are also past their flowering period? Almost defeated in late May? I'll go...... So what else can you do! Windmill! No way...... What's there to see about that thing! Lao Tzu has seen a lot of waterwheels in Shuchuan, what's the big deal? It's pretty much the same, but it's just a watermill and a roof...... Well, Guo Zizhao admits that he doesn't have any artistic cells.

Depressed...... Guo Zizhao had no choice but to turn depression into motivation, and vented some excess energy on the training ground.

……

On June 8th, the competition in the Netherlands officially began. The competition in this station is still 100m and 110m hurdles, so Guo Zizhao also participated in both events.

Guo Zizhao looked at the list of participants before the start of the competition, and there were really not many masters participating in this competition in the Netherlands. Among the men's 100m runners, the most famous athlete is the former Canadian flyer Donovan, in addition to Guo Zizhao. Bailey.

This guy is the current world record holder in the men's 100m sprint.

Pele won the men's 100m for the first time at the 1995 World Championships, but the 9.91-second win was not outstanding at the time. But at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Pele made a name for himself, winning the men's 100m final in 9.84 seconds, breaking the world record of 9.85 seconds held by American Burrell.

However, this guy has been injured since then, and he also lost to Green at the 1997 World Championships, only finishing runner-up. And Pele was even more possessed by the gods last year, and he actually ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing basketball! After cultivating for more than half a year, it was not until the beginning of this year that he began to make a comeback. However, the current state is probably not too good......

As for the men's 110m hurdles, there is only one American athlete to pay attention to, and that is Trammell. This buddy, who just emerged at the beginning of this year, will also be ranked in the top 5 in the world in the 110m hurdles event in the next ten years. Among Liu Feiren's champions in his previous life, this buddy can often be seen.

However, according to Guo Zizhao's memories in his previous life, although this buddy's results have been very stable, he lacks explosiveness. This is similar to Guo Zizhao's current situation, which belongs to the kind of person who can play his best in every competition, but whether he can win the championship depends on the opponent's performance. It is estimated that this buddy is at his peak, and he can barely be regarded as a top player.

However, although these two players have given Guo Zizhao a certain amount of pressure at present, they still do not threaten Guo Zizhao's performance. At the end of the day, Guo Zizhao once again took two championships into his pocket. The 100-meter score of 9.96 seconds is relatively normal, but the 110-meter hurdles score of 13.15 seconds gave Guo Zizhao a lot of surprises. This is another Asian record of 13.17 seconds set by himself in Melbourne! Ha ha...... It seems that the "precision" attribute has been upgraded to the first level, and it is also a great help for hurdle events, hehe.

The reward of 2 attribute points and 500 experience points obtained again also made Guo Zizhao stupidly happy for a while, these are all unexpected joys. It is in response to the old saying, horses have no night grass and no fat, haha, happy......

Guo Zizhao looked at his attribute panel next and pondered for a while, and now other attributes are not easy to add. The "Physique" is only 60 points, and the "Spirit" is only 70 points, and they have to add 10 points each to be upgraded, so they can simply wait until next month or the end of the year to get it all at once. The other "Strength", "Speed", "Agility", and "Endurance" have also been added to the top, and you will have to wait for the "Constitution" to be upgraded. Well, then just add the "Precision" stat and add 2 points to make it 63. Well, it can still play a role, nothing wrong......

。。。。。。

After finishing the competition in the Netherlands, Guo Zizhao and his entourage flew directly to Athens, the capital of Greece, the next day. It is still relatively convenient to compete in Europe, the place is not big, and the transportation is also very convenient. Basically, you can get there in about an hour by plane. Of course, if you're not in a hurry, traveling around Europe by train is also a popular way for foreigners.

But for Guo Zizhao, forget it, take the train? In China, I have long had enough in my last life! In my previous life, I felt that it was almost boring to take bullet trains and high-speed trains, and I went to Europe to travel by train......

My brain is out of water again......

Athens is a world-famous historical city, with a recorded history of more than 3,000 years, and is known as the "cradle of Western civilization". At the same time, it is also the birthplace of European philosophy, which has had a significant impact on the development of European and even world culture. The Parthenon, located on the Acropolis, has long been regarded as a symbol of Western culture. Athens is also the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games, where the first Olympic Games were held in 1896.

This time I arrived in Athens in advance, and all the accommodation and training ground arrangements were communicated by Song Ping, and Mercedes-Benz was responsible for contacting them. The hotel is a 4-star business hotel with a professional training ground less than 500 metres from the hotel. Mercedes-Benz personnel were very considerate to book a week's accommodation and the right to use the training ground for Guo Zizhao. Of course, these fees are not cheap either, and the company will pay half of the fees for them. In return, Guo Zizhao also had to spend an afternoon to conduct a promotional activity for Mercedes-Benz before the start of the race.

At present, Guo Zizhao's coaching team has a clear division of labor, and his father Guo Sheng's task is the simplest, which is to be responsible for daily training and guidance during the game; Song Guowei is mainly responsible for Guo Zizhao's massage and relaxation work after training and competitions, of course, as well as daily medical care and bag carrying tasks when going out for competitions; Song Ping, in addition to a small amount of assistance to his father's training work, now he is putting more energy on external contact. The communication with the national team, the registration and communication with the organizing committee of the competition, and the contact and communication with the endorsement company this time are all within the scope of Song Ping's work.

However, Guo Zizhao felt that he had to recruit another person. The main thing is his own driver and assistant, after he endorsed Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz originally wanted to equip himself with a business car. However, because I and my father and others have not yet obtained their driver's licenses, and I feel that I can't use them for the time being, so I'll wait for the time being. But now I think it's still very necessary, at least when I go out to play in the future, someone can help carry the bag and take care of things. Anyway, you can liberate Song Guowei, or after graduating from a graduate student of Beijing Medical University, he will follow us all day long to do some hard work, don't make his old man feel distressed, hehe......

……

But a week later, when Guo Zizhao saw the list of participants for the Grand Prix, Guo Zizhao himself began to feel distressed.

I'm going to do that...... What kind of fierce people are these? Why are they all crowded into this station to compete? Green, Bolton, Chambers, Montgomery, Surin, Bailey, Jackson, Garcia, Rose, Creel, Trammell......

The top 5 runners in the men's 100m are basically all here, and the 110m hurdles are all in addition to Alain. Johnson is still recovering from his injury, and he has basically arrived. No way...... Is this Athenian beauty so attractive? Why haven't I been walking around the streets all these days without looking?

"Ahem," Song Ping looked at the depressed Guo Zizhao and then explained, "The competition in Athens has always been relatively popular, and the current selection competitions of various countries have ended last week, so everyone has come to participate in this competition and start to officially prepare for the competition." Also, the Golden League will start in just over a week, so this tournament is the final adjustment period. So, not many players who are interested in competing for the gold prize are here. But that's fine, you don't have many opportunities to play against so many high-level players at one time, and it will help you a lot. ”

I'll go...... I don't know if it will help me or not, but it will have a great impact on me. I've just been a few stops, and I haven't been proud enough, but I didn't expect to start being abused again now, why is my life so miserable...... Guo Zizhao really wants to cry without tears.

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I may not be able to win many championships in this year's Grand Prix, but you can't form a team to abuse me. That's too bullying, isn't it?

Hmph, when Lao Tzu is upgraded next year, he will definitely abuse him back when the time comes......
