After Director Guo and Director Zhao left, Zhang Guan frowned and began to think.

In the confrontation with Director Guo just now, although Zhang Guan was very sharp-mouthed, he was actually quite weak-hearted. Zhang Guan doesn't want to deal with Director Guo like this, because this kind of person obviously won't reason with you.

"This Director Guo will definitely not give up like this." Zhang Guan thought about it carefully, but found that in the face of a person who was not ready to be reasonable, he really had no way to break the situation at present.

If Zhang Guan was really just an eighteen-year-old young man, he might think that this Director Guo was quite stupid, and he couldn't wait to buckle his hat as soon as he met, and he didn't offend Director Guo, why did the other party bite himself stubbornly, what is the benefit? This is all about harming others and not benefiting oneself. But the reality is that there are too many people in life who harm others and are not good for themselves, even if they can't meet them now, but they will always be encountered after a long time.

"It's probably that generation of people who did some willful things when they were young, but they didn't bear the consequences of being willful, so when they get old, they will continue to be willful!" Zhang Guan closed his eyes, he knew that if he wanted to solve Director Guo's problem, the best way was to take advantage of the situation.

Take advantage of the Olympic champions!

Winning the Olympic title is all the way around.

Although Zhang Guan is not very clear about Director Guo's position in China, it is certain that Director Guo is definitely not a big official, and it is impossible for a big official to come to deduct his hat in person. The best way to deal with this kind of little minion is to fight IQ and reason about experience, the best way is to let out a terrifying roar like the king of the forest, even if you are not the king of the forest, you can be like a fox, invite the tiger to your side.

The contest between ordinary athletes and petty officials is unequal; The contest between petty officials and Olympic champions is also unequal.

……

On August 17, the national team did not win a gold medal. The highly-anticipated fencing event was just one step away from gold medals, winning two silver medals. It was also on this day that American swimmer Michael Phelps won two gold medals in the men's 200m butterfly and the men's 4x200m freestyle relay, and in addition to the previous 400m individual medley, Phelps has won three Olympic gold medals.

The major European media instantly shifted the direction of the report, and the newspapers began to predict that the Chinese Olympic team will enter a downward slope, and European and American countries will soon catch up with China, and even many sports commentators predict that the Chinese team will not win more than 20 gold medals.

As for Zhang Guan, the media has stopped ridiculing him and has turned to report on Phelps, who obviously has a shorter memory time than Chinese stockholders, and Phelps has become the darling of the media.

On 18 August, the Olympic athletics competition officially began, starting with the men's and women's shot put events, with the qualifying rounds and finals taking place on the same day. However, the track and field team failed to win a medal, the men's shot put stopped in the qualifying round, and the women's shot put entered the final, but only finished ninth.

This result is not surprising, in the shot put, although the national team is the top level in Asia, but in a competition of this level at the Olympic Games, it is considered a normal performance to enter the final.

On 19 August, there will be no athletics events, and the Olympic Stadium in Athens will be open in the morning for athletes to take one last acclimatization, and will be closed in the afternoon in preparation for the upcoming competitions.

The U.S. team won four gold medals in one day, including three in swimming, including Phelps' 200m individual medley; The Chinese team won three gold medals on the day, two of which were won in badminton.

For the U.S. team, the track and field event is about to begin, which is the traditional strength of the U.S. team and a big gold medalist; As for the Chinese team, table tennis and badminton have entered the final stage, and the diving event has not yet begun, and the Chinese team's potential to win gold is still huge.

On August 20, Athens time, two gold medals were awarded in track and field events, namely the men's 20km race walk and the men's 10,000-meter run. A series of other qualifying tournaments, such as the men's triple jump qualifying tournament, the men's hammer throw qualifying tournament, the men's high jump qualifying tournament, the women's discus throw qualifying tournament, etc., are also held on this day.

On August 21, the first round of the men's 100-meter sprint officially began!

……

According to the race schedule, there are two rounds of the 100-meter dash on this day, the first of which starts at 10:35 a.m. Athens time.

The first round of the men's 100m dash is divided into 10 groups, with the top three finishers from each round plus the other 10 best athletes advancing to the second round. The second round will take place at 19:40 Athens time in the evening.

In terms of Chinese players, Chen Jian was placed in the first group, which can be said to be drawn, and in the past tournaments, the strength of the players in the first group is definitely not too strong, so Chen Jian is very hopeful to enter the second round.

Chen Jian was joined by Great Britain, Nigeria, Namibia, Ghana, Singapore, São Tomé and Príncipe and Japan's Shingo Suesu, who returned from injury. Six of the eight athletes are Olympic Standard A athletes, while Singapore's athletes and São Tomé and Príncipe are Olympic Standard B athletes. Among them, Singapore's Bao Shengsong also participated in last year's Asian Athletics Championships, where he once competed with Zhang Guan.

In the athlete preparation area, Chen Jian's face was solemn, and he couldn't stop taking deep breaths to try to calm down. The former domestic 100-meter No. 1 has also participated in many international competitions and can be said to have rich competition experience, but when it comes to the Olympic arena, he still feels very nervous. It was the most important match of his career for him.

"Brother Chen, come on!" Zhang Guan patted Jian Chen on the shoulder.

Jian Chen nodded, he didn't answer, and then walked quickly onto the field.

Looking at the back of Chen Jian's departure, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly, Zhang Guan could feel that Chen Jian was nervous but not excited at this time, which was not good news for an athlete.

According to the pre-race prediction, in the first round of the 100-meter sprint, as long as you can run 10.30 seconds, you can basically confirm the promotion, even if you can't get the top three positions in the group, you can almost enter the ten additional best times within 10.30 seconds. For Chen Jian, whose best score is 10.17 seconds, the 10.30-second level only needs to be slightly better.

Chen Jian, who was in a nervous state, clearly failed to play his best, and the final time of 10.45 seconds was only fifth.

Appearance, introduction of athletes, preparation for start, competition, the whole process only experienced a short three or four minutes, time passed so fast, when Chen Jian walked off the field with a lonely face, as if he had not yet realized that his Olympic Games had ended.

After more than ten years of hard training, Chen Jian came to Athens to participate in the Olympic Games, and Chen Jian got two minutes of appearance, one minute of preparation, ten seconds of competition, and a last-minute exit.

"Xiao Chen, there is still a chance, the competition is not over yet, in addition to the top three, there are still ten places!" Yu Dao opened his mouth to comfort.

Jian Chen smiled dismally, in fact, he knew that with his score of 10.45 seconds, in addition to the top three in each group, there would definitely be no one to pick the ten fastest.

In the first group, Namibia's "gentleman of sprints" veteran Frank Fredericks, a 37-year-old who won silver medals in the 100m and 200m at the Atlanta Olympics, ran 10.12 seconds, followed by Nigeria's Uchena Ermidoru (10.22 seconds) and Japan's Shingo Suesue (10.27 seconds), who advanced to the next round. Great Britain's Darren Campbell, who finished fourth, ran 10.35 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than fifth-placed Jian Chen.

Although the first group is not the weakest group, it is definitely not strong, and there are still nine groups of competitions in the future, and there will definitely be many people who exceed the 10.45 second time, and Chen Jian is actually hopeless to enter the next round.

……

In the second group of the preliminaries, Great Britain's Lewis Francis easily won the first place, followed by Ghana's Aziz Zachary and Hungary's Roland Nemos. Saudi Arabia's Mubarak, who finished fourth, ran a time of 10.36 seconds. However, fifth-placed Maltese Gilford ran only 10.67. After the two sets of competitions, there are already two people in front of Chen Jian on the ten additional promotion places.

In the third group, there is finally a favorite to appear, and that is American Justin Gatlin. Although Gatlin is currently the least favored of the three Americans, he has won the men's 100-meter sprint at the Athens Olympics over the course of history.

Perhaps due to the appearance of Gatling, the level of this group has improved a lot in an instant. The first place in the group was Gatlin's 10.07 seconds, followed by Cayman's Sompson and Ghana's Mills. Brazil's Vicente Lima in fourth place had a time of 10.23 seconds, Russia's Andrei Yepishin in fifth place had a time of 10.29 seconds, and Greece's Cerdoridis in sixth place had a time of 10.32 seconds. This means that there are three more people in front of Jian Chen.

"This is the third group! It is worthy of the Olympic Games, this kind of result that can win the championship in Asia, but here it can't even enter the second round of the group stage. Director Yu shook his head silently, at this time he could already confirm that Jian Chen missed the second round.

In the fourth group, another favourite, American sprinter Sean Crawford, came on to score an easy time of 10.02 seconds, faster than the previous Gatling, and it was clear that Crawford was not trying his best at all. Crawford was followed by Barbados' Obadley Thompson, who also ran 10.08 seconds, and Slovenia's Osonica. Burkina Faso's Adrissa Sano in fourth place is still faster than Chen Jian.

In Group 5, European champion Francis Obikwiru of Portugal, a native of Nigeria who is also the favourite to win the Games. In this group, there was also Japan's Kanhiro Toe, who finished fifth, but his time of 10.37 seconds was still faster than Chen Jian.

There were star players in four groups in a row, which made the audience addicted. There are also big names such as Morris Green, Asafa Powell, Jason Gardner and Kim Collins who are yet to play.

More than halfway through the ten group stages, the organizers did not arrange the above big-name players in the sixth group as if to let the audience adjust their emotions, and even in the eyes of many professionals, the sixth group is the weakest group in the group stage.

Zhang Guan, who is about to appear in the sixth group.
