Early the next morning, after breakfast, Guo Zizhao and Brother Dong said goodbye to Zhang Jian and drove back to Rongcheng.

As soon as they arrived home, Song Ping and his father brought good news to Guo Zizhao. The nominations for the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards were announced, and Guo Zizhao was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award as expected.

The Laureus World Sports Awards are sponsored by Daimler. Chrysler and Richmond were founded by two large companies. Lawrence means laurel in Latin, symbolizing victory in world sports. The Laureus Awards reward the world's most outstanding athletes for their achievements in a variety of fields. It is the only global award ceremony today and is recognized as the "Oscars of Sports".

The Laureus Awards are judged by more than 400 veteran sports journalists from more than 70 countries and territories who nominate the most outstanding athlete of the year. The winners are then voted for by the 41 members of the Laureus World Sports Academy, a group of the world's most outstanding retired athletes, each with a proven track record.

There are nine awards at the Laureus World Sports Awards, including five awards jointly awarded by the media and sports clubs: Best Male Athlete, Best Female Athlete, Best Sports Team, Best Newcomer and Best Comeback Athlete; Two awards were selected by a team of experts and the Sports Academy: Best Alternative Athlete and Best Athlete with Disabilities; Finally, there will be the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Public Welfare Sports Fund Award from sponsors and sports clubs.

The Laureus World Sports Awards have always focused on professional competitions that have a huge impact in the West. For example, tennis, track and field, motor racing, golf, football, basketball and other sports have always been the key projects favored by the Laureus Award.

Tennis, in particular, is the winner of the best male and female athletes. "Tennis King" Federer, in the memory of Guo Zizhao's previous life, has won the best male athlete four times in a row, which is simply a murderous force. Another tennis player, Novak Djokovic, has also won the best male athlete twice; The second is the track and field event, and the big demon Usain Bolt has also won the best male athlete three times; Schumacher has won twice, Tiger. Woods has also won twice.

But for China's advantageous projects, the Laureus Award is a bit undesirable.

In the history of Guo Zizhao's previous life, China has won a total of 4 awards. They were the Laureus Best Newcomer Award won by Liu Fei and Yao Juju, the Laureus Best Team Award won by the Beijing Olympic team, and the Laureus Special Achievement Award received by Li Na after retiring from tennis.

Other advantageous sports, such as table tennis, badminton, gymnastics, diving and swimming, have not been selected by domestic athletes because of the lack of professional influence in the Western world and the world.

But on the other hand, the cooperation between the Laureus World Sports Awards and China is also very close. Since 2004, our annual "Top 10" athletes in China have been married to the Laureus World Sports Awards, and officially renamed the "China Top 10 Laureus Champion Award".

This year marks the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards, with the 1999 Athlete of the Year nominations announced.

……

"It's really good news, haha......" Guo Zizhao was also obviously very happy, "Mercedes-Benz is really reliable!" Hehe...... By the way, who else is nominated for Best Newcomer? ”

"The others are small characters, and your biggest opponent is Sergio. Garcia, a Spanish golfer. However, your achievements and popularity last year were far better than his. So if nothing else, you've got the award. Song Ping was also very interested in Guo Zizhao's nomination, but he still asked suspiciously, "But is this Laureus Award reliable?" Is it authoritative? ”

"Why is it unreliable? Tut-tut, look at the sponsor behind it, it's a big company like Chrysler! If it's not reliable, why should I ask you to contact Mercedes-Benz and communicate with them in advance. Guo Zizhao also said happily, "It's only the first session at the beginning of this year, and after two years, you will know how powerful this award is, hehe." ”

Guo Zizhao also sighed, at the end of last year, when it was just rumored that he was going to organize the Laureus Award, Guo Zizhao asked Song Ping and his mother to contact the business representative of Mercedes-Benz. The main meaning is to compete for one of the awards. The best male athlete, with Guo Zizhao's results last year, it must be no play. But the best newcomer, Guo Zizhao is still very promising.

Mercedes-Benz is also very supportive of Guo Zizhao's idea. After all, Guo Zizhao is the hottest spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz in track and field events. If Guo Zizhao wins the award, it will also be very beneficial to the image of Mercedes-Benz. Besides, the main founder of this award is Chrysler Corporation! The building near the water gets the moon first......

It seems that this time, Mercedes-Benz's public relations is really effective.

。。。。。。

In the next few days, Guo Zizhao, who was in a good mood, also vented his energy again on the training ground. The originally planned domestic indoor competition could not participate, so Guo Zizhao had to add an international indoor competition.

On February 15, Guo Zizhao and his entourage rushed to Birmingham, England. In two days, they will compete in the Birmingham International Indoor Championships here. However, this time, the national team did not send any more players to participate in the New Year. It is estimated that the main energy now has begun to focus on the selection of athletes for outdoor events.

In this Birmingham competition, there are a lot more international masters who participated. After all, it's mid-to-late February, and the international indoor competition is beginning to come to an end. So most of the international masters are starting to come out to warm up. In just over a month, the IAAF Grand Prix will start again. Besides, this is an Olympic year, and everyone should have prepared for the Olympic trials in various countries.

In the men's 60-meter final of the indoor competition in Birmingham on the 17th, Guo Zizhao met his old opponent this time, Canadian flyer Surin. However, Su Lin obviously came to adjust his state this time, so he didn't exert his full strength throughout the whole process, and only finished third in the end. The second place is also Guo Zizhao's old opponent in the last stop, the Englishman Jason. Gardner.

In the more than half a month that Guo Zizhao did not compete, the Briton was in the limelight and won three races. When he was starting to get carried away, he met Guo Zizhao again, and he was very depressed that Guo Zizhao snatched the championship with a time of 6.45 seconds.

However, in the final of the 60-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao was once again defeated by British veteran Jackson. No way, the distance of the 60-meter hurdles is still too short. This is still very advantageous for athletes like Jackson, who are faster in the first half.

Although Guo Zizhao also activated the "Strong Intermediate Intermittent Sprint Skill" in one step, there is still a slight gap in strength compared to Jackson. In the end, he lost to Jackson by 0.02 seconds with a time of 7.44 seconds.

In the end, although Guo Zizhao received a reward of 0.5 attribute points, the experience points he only gained were 100 points, which made Guo Zizhao lose a lot. Well, if you have 100 points in the competition, 50 points for the 60-meter champion and 50 points for breaking the Asian record, the total of 200 experience points will have to be halved, isn't it 100 points? Grandma's, but I couldn't hold back this race, and I used running shoes and potions in both races, and each game cost 90 points. This time, it was a loss of 80 points. I'm depressed, I think I'll have to learn a lesson in the future......

……

So in the next two races, Guo Zizhao gave full play to his shameless spirit. If you have a sure game, you will go all out on the equipment. In a match of equal strength, simply give up, so that you can save some experience points.

In the Stockholm Indoor Championships on the 20th, in the 60-meter final, he faced his main opponent Jason. Gardner, Guo Zizhao was very relieved to just use high-frequency running shoes, and finally won the championship with a time of 6.49 seconds. Successfully got the reward of 0.5 attribute points.

But in the final of the 60-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao was not interested in Johnson at all. It was useless at all, and he simply lost to the opponent with a time of 7.53 seconds. Looking at Guo Zizhao's lazy appearance, Johnson, who had just won the championship, was also very boring. Your sister, it's okay to give a reaction, I wanted to avenge the revenge of last year's finals, how do you feel like you missed with a punch.....

In the Athens Indoor Competition on the 25th, Guo Zizhao still repeated his old tricks. It's just that this time he simply lost to Green in the 60 meters. The result is 6.53 seconds, and it's a naked run again. But in the 60-meter hurdles, Guo Zizhao had to fight hard this time and defeated the careless Johnson with a time of 7.45 seconds. Let this guy blow his beard and stare angrily. Your sister, you're playing with me again, aren't you, this Chinese is so cunning......

The new week is about to begin, and so are the exciting events......
