Chapter Ninety-Two: Mass Withdrawals

Zhang Guan was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone, and was confiding in Sharapova about the pain of lovesickness.

After continuous training and competitions, Zhang Guan and Sharapova have not seen each other for months, and the two can only contact each other through mobile phones.

"The 800m and 1500m should be middle distance races! Can you win the championship too? Sharapova asked.

"You know, the level of middle distance running in our country is not strong, and it is a big step away from the world's top level!" Zhang Guan continued: "I haven't congratulated you yet, winning the Alaku Classic. ”

"It's the Akula Classic." Sharapova corrected: "What's next for you?" ”

"The Golden League in Zurich is about to start, I have to go to Switzerland, and then the Golden League is in Brussels and Berlin, and my game will not be over until September 3rd." Zhang Guan turned around and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'm going to stay in the U.S., the U.S. Open is about to start, and I have to prepare." Sharapova thought for a moment and asked, "After the Golden League in Berlin, do you have time, can you come to the United States?" ”

"There is a Athletics World Cup in two weeks from the end of the tournament in Berlin, so I should have some free time in those two weeks. Why don't I go to the United States to find you? Zhang Guan asked.

"Really! That's great! Sharapova's voice looked delighted: "Then it's decided, I'll wait for you in New York!" ”

"I'll be there! I want to see my dear Martha win the US Open! Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Richards announces his withdrawal from the IAAF Golden League Zurich tournament:

According to reports, American athlete Saja Richards announced today that she will withdraw from the IAAF Golden League Zurich due to a recurrence of an old injury on her bare foot.

Ethiopian long-distance runners: Biometric passports are unfair to Ethiopian athletes:

Athens Olympics men's 10,000m gold medalist Kenenisa Bekele said in a recent interview with the media that the IAAF has established a "biological special passport" for athletes to monitor long-term blood traits, which is a very unfair behavior for Ethiopian athletes, because athletes training at altitudes will also affect the monitoring of blood traits, which will be mistaken for doping, and Ethiopia is known as the "roof of Africa", and the territory is dominated by mountainous plateaus. Athletes train at altitude for long periods of time, so the new "bio-special passport" is very bad for Ethiopian athletes......

……

As soon as the news spread that the Golden League Zurich station was going to establish a special biological passport for athletes, it seemed that the next week. More than a dozen players withdrew from the Golden League Zurich for various reasons, and top athletes such as Bekele spoke out. Indicates that it does not support the establishment of special biological passports.

Since the outbreak of the doping scandal in the United States last year, it is no secret that athletes evade urine tests by increasing their red blood cell counts through frequent blood transfusions and microscopic human erythropoietin transfusions. As long as you have to wait a while, maybe by the next stop of the Golden League in Brussels, your body will return to normal levels.

However, at this time, some media also have some special reports that attract attention.

Golden League Zurich: Many top players withdraw, will Zhang Guan be the next to retire? 》

This is a British media report, which first introduced the imminent establishment of biological special passports for athletes in international athletics. Then a number of well-known athletes withdrew from the Zurich station of the IAAF Golden League, and then vaguely pointed out that the athletes' withdrawals were related to the long-term blood trait monitoring of the biological special passport, and finally began to predict that there would be those athletes who would retire next, among which Zhang Guan was the next to announce his retirement.

After the release of this report, it has attracted a lot of attention, there are many so-called celebrities, Zhang Guan is currently the most popular track and field athlete in the world, as long as some news can pull out the word "Zhang Guan" in the title, even if it is just the title party, many people will watch it.

Zhang Guan's hacking is not a matter of a day or two, since the Olympic championship, "Zhang Guanhei" has always existed, especially so many media, questioning Zhang Guan's position has always been very clear. At the beginning, the "Zhang Guanhei" began to keep saying that Zhang Guan was just a flash in the pan, and predicted that Zhang Guan would lose the game soon, but because Zhang Guan must win every game and broke the world record many times, the remarks of losing the game became a joke, so these "Zhang Guanhei" began to pick up the doping problem as their main means of attacking Zhang Guan.

However, on the second day, the Athletics Management Center announced that Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren were about to participate in the IAAF Golden League Zurich station.

Jamaica.

Young Bolt was excited because he had just won the 200m test run, which had qualified him for the World Cup in Athletics in the middle of next month, and even more excited that he would have the chance to compete with Zhang Guan.

Another young player of the Jamaican team, John Blakechen, hurriedly ran over, handed a newspaper to Bolt, and said: "Youssein, Zhang Guan has arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, and he really hasn't dropped out of the game!" ”

"I said a long time ago, Zhang Guan will definitely not retire!" Bolt pouted: "It's just a temporary blood test, how could Zhang Guan be afraid of this." ”

"It's not as simple as a temporary blood test, it's a biological special passport!" Blake corrected: "The Bio-Specific Passport is a continuous monitoring process for athletes, and each time the results of the blood trait monitoring are counted towards the Bio-Specific Passport, which can be easily compared if the athlete has used doping. ”

"A strong player doesn't disdain to do that kind of dirty thing. You see, our Asafa is also continuing to participate in the Golden League of Athletics! and Varina of the United States, which is said to be ready to challenge Zhang Guan again. Bolt waved his hand.

Blake continued: "I really admire Varina, he has lost to Zhang Guan three times in a row, I didn't expect to be so scrappy!" ”

"That's because the gap between Varina and Zhang Guan is not big, and the difference between the two in the last game was only 0. 05 seconds, which is easily compensated for in the 400m race. Bolt continued: "In three races, the duo has gone from 44 seconds to 43. It's been 5 seconds, maybe the next two will be faster. There are still three races in the Golden League, and maybe one of them will break the world record in the 400m! ”

"Breaking the 400m world record? It's certainly not possible! Blake shook his head, the world record in the 400m was so difficult, it was an inhuman achievement!

……

The withdrawal of a number of big names has made the Golden League Zurich less exciting than the first three races, but the month-long break between Rome and Zurich has also prevented some athletes from finding their fitness in the first place, including Varina.

In the men's 400m, Varina scored 44. 20 seconds is also a very good time, but it is a little worse than Varina in the first two races.

Zhang Guan also had reservations, as he relaxed his pace at the end of the race with a score of 43. 80 seconds.

In the 100-meter dash, Montgomery and Crawford withdrew from Zurich under the pretext of competing in the United States, but Powell played well, running a 9. A good score of 77 seconds, but still 0. The 04-second gap was lost to Zhang Guan. Third place was taken by American Tyson Gay.

In the 110m hurdles, Liu Feiren also won a championship, the second place was the American veteran Alan Johnson, and the third place was the Cuban teenager Robles.

After the end of the Golden League in Zurich, only Zhang Guan was left unbeaten in four races, and four athletes won three of the four races: Richards in the women's 400m, Dibaba in the women's 5000m, Bekele in the men's 5000m, and Saradino in the men's long jump.

After the Golden League in Zurich, Zhang Guan did not return to China, but rushed to Belgium first to prepare for the upcoming Golden League Brussels match.

It's going to be a very special Golden League. (To be continued.) )
