Guo Zizhao remembered that after Liu Feiren retired in his previous life, Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the national track and field team at that time, said.

The significance of Liu Feiren to Chinese track and field is not that he has won several world championships or broken several world records, but that he has regained the confidence to challenge the world for Chinese track and field.

Before Liu Feiren won the Olympic championship, the domestic track and field world at that time could be described as lifeless. Not only has the men's sprint been suppressed by the Japanese for nearly a decade, but in other events, the international competitiveness has also been decreasing year by year.

But from the moment Liu Feiren won the Olympic championship, it not only brought confidence to domestic track and field athletes, but also brought hope to local track and field teams at all levels. Everyone also suddenly discovered that we Chinese can also achieve such results in the men's sprint event of the Olympic Games!

Since then, the care and investment in track and field at all levels has also increased year by year, and the number of places for athletes and coaches to go out for competition and training has also increased year by year. In this way, after several years of accumulation, Chinese track and field athletes can gradually break out on the world stage in a large area after 2010.

Of course, even so, after losing Liu Feiren, the leader of Chinese track and field, it is inevitable that it will show a decline. Although the men's sprint event has made a historic breakthrough, even the occasional World Series finals are not a problem. However, due to the physical limitations of the race, there has never been a world-class sprinter. can only pursue a breakthrough in hurdles, a track and field event with higher technical requirements.

……

At present, Guo Zizhao's influence in the Chinese track and field world is similar to Liu Feiren's situation after the Athens Olympics. It's just that because there is still no excellent champion in hand, it has not yet reached the point of national fanaticism at that time.

However, even so, Guo Zizhao's influence on domestic track and field is slowly reflected. After all, judging from Guo Zizhao's current world ranking, he is already the world's top sprinter. And his achievements are definitely a historic breakthrough.

Moreover, Guo Zizhao has another advantage. That is Guo Zizhao's current fame in China, which is more than Liu Feiren before the Athens Olympics in his previous life, and it is also incomparable!

Before the Athens Olympics, in addition to people in the track and field world, how many domestic viewers knew about Liu Feiren? Just at that time, all his endorsements in China added up, which is not more than 2 million yuan. Not to mention, even the coach of the national team at that time did not have any hope for Liu Feiren to win the championship.

But the current Guo Zizhao is different.

Since Guo Zizhao unexpectedly became popular after the college entrance examination, coupled with the broadcast of several TV commercials such as Huaxia Telecom, Shuchuan Changhong and Jialin Motorcycle, Guo Zizhao can be regarded as a familiar face in front of the people of the whole country.

However, a series of reports such as the Asian Championships and the World Youth Championships made Guo Zizhao's personality image begin to take root in the hearts of the people again. Finally, at the Asian Games, Guo Zizhao broke the 10-second mark in history and won China's first men's 100-meter gold medal in the Asian Games. What's even more excessive is the passionate singing at the Spring Festival Gala not long after.

This made Guo Zizhao suddenly popular all over the country and became a well-known sports star.

Guo Zizhao's annual income from commercial endorsements alone is already tens of millions, and this is the result of Guo Zizhao's selection for half a day, control and control. If you let it go, it is estimated that half a billion will still be no problem.

The beginning of this year is even more remarkable. Not only did he win the International Athletics Grand Prix and the Golden League, but he also won a historic medal at the World Indoor Athletics Championships and the Outdoor Athletics World Championships. Let Guo Zizhao have firmly sat in the position of the "first brother" of domestic track and field. Now Guo Zizhao's world ranking can also be ranked in the top three in the world.

。。。。。。

The birth of such a world-class track and field athlete, how can it not make the domestic track and field world excited. Although Guo Zizhao's status as an athlete outside the system is not so popular with industry insiders, he can also cultivate top track and field athletes in his own system. He Guo Zizhao can do what he can do with so many resources, there is no reason why we can't do it professionally?

As a result, since the beginning of this year, from the General Administration to the local sports bureaus and professional sports teams at all levels, the investment in track and field has begun to increase a lot. In this way, the growth rate of excellent track and field athletes has been greatly advanced.

For example, today's Chen Haijian, Yang Yaozhou and others have entered the ranks of the national team two years ahead of schedule. Although it is only cultivated as a reserve talent, this is also a great opportunity for them.

For a track and field athlete, about 18~20 years old is a critical period for rapid growth in strength. Being able to enter the national team at an earlier stage will give them more training resources and access to more advanced training methods, which will have a crucial impact on their future prospects. With such an opportunity, Guo Zizhao believes that their future achievements should not be worse than in their previous lives.

This can be regarded as the positive impact of the flapping wings of my butterfly on China's track and field industry......

……

"What do you think? So fascinating. After chatting with several new team members, Chen Yanhao couldn't help but ask when he saw that Guo Zizhao still looked thoughtful.

"Oh...... It's nothing. Guo Zizhao also quickly came back to his senses, looked at the few new teammates who went away, and sighed, "Hehe...... It's just that when I saw a new person joining, I suddenly realized that I was also a veteran now. ”

"Haha...... You," Chen Yanhao also smiled dumbly, "You're only 20 years old now, and you're embarrassed to sigh here!" Then I'm an old fellow, shouldn't I have retired a long time ago. ”

"You're not old, you're still in your prime! You're now the pinnacle of our track and field team. Guo Zizhao also teased Brother Chen, "By the way, I have something to ask you." ”

Guo Zizhao also suddenly remembered, "I heard that there are a lot of places for overseas competitions in the first half of the year, Brother Chen, you have to hurry!" This is not the time to carry out style! ”

"You just came back and you know?"

"That's right, is there anyone on the team who doesn't know about it now?"

"Huh...... I'm a veteran, and I've reached the A standard, so I can't afford to fight with those young people. Chen Yanhao was also a little hesitant.

"Don't!" When Guo Zizhao heard this, he also quickly persuaded him, "How old are you?" Look at Johnson, he's a year older than you now. Isn't it a lot of fun? And that old guy from Jackson, he's 32 this year, and I haven't really beaten him once yet! Why did you quit? ”

"Also, although your current score is A, it's hard to say whether you can reach the semifinals at the Olympics. You don't want to run another preliminary! I'm still waiting to meet you in the finals! Guo Zizhao saw that Chen Yanhao was a little moved, and he also hurriedly added a fire, "You used to be delayed." Now I have a good opportunity to go to international competitions. In this way, you will not only accumulate experience in the competition, but also learn more things, which will also be very beneficial for your current performance improvement. ”

In the end, Guo Zizhao also gave Chen Yanhao a fierce blow, "Your current results are basically at a bottleneck, whether you can break through to within 13 seconds and 30 seconds, the key depends on next year." Brother Chen, to put it mildly, next year's Olympic Games is probably your last, don't you want to taste the Olympic finals? Are you the former "Asian Hurdle King"? ”

Guo Zizhao's words also made Chen Yanhao instantly ignite his fighting spirit.

Oh, yes! I used to be the "Asian Hurdle King...... Not to mention the taste of the Olympic finals, even the semi-finals of the World Championships have just stepped in! Just give up? I'm really unwilling! Guo Zizhao is right, I will only be 28 years old next year! I can run for another two years......

Long......

"Alas...... You guy! Chen Yanhao also patted Guo Zizhao on the shoulder, "I admit you brother!" Then I'll go out for a walk next year, and we'll see you in the finals of the Olympics then! ”

"Good ......"
