Pen Fun Club www.readwn.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!

"The new 400-meter world record? Someone in this world can really break the 400-meter world record!" The scene was completely crazy.

Legendary American sprinter Michael Johnson, who was undefeated in 400 meters for seven consecutive years, he set a new world record of 400 meters with 43.18 seconds in the 1999 World Track and Field Championships in Spain. This world record is also a sprint event. The world record that is the most difficult to break is also hailed as a world record belonging to the 21st century. No one can break it in fifty years.

Since Johnson retired, there have been many strong men in the 400-meter run, but they have not challenged the 400-meter world record left by Johnson. Not because athletes don't want to, but because they simply don't have that qualification. How can a group of athletes who can't even run within 44 seconds be qualified to challenge the world record of 43.18 seconds?

Until the appearance of Zhang Guan, in the Golden League Oslo station with a score of 43.99 seconds, entered the 44-second mark, and in the next Golden League, Zhang Guan also constantly refreshed his best results. But even if Zhang Guan made a 400-meter result that could be ranked tenth in history not long ago, no one thought that Zhang Guan would break the 400-meter world record.

The world record of 43.18 seconds is really difficult!

Zhang Guan passed this difficulty today. He raised the world record of 400 meters by 0.02 seconds. This sudden 43.16 second result made people feel caught off guard. There was no symptom before, and everyone did not have a mental preparation yet, and Zhang Guan broke the world record.

In the eyes of professional sportsmen, Zhang Guan broke the world record for the 400-meter sprint. It makes more sense than he ran the 9.70 second mark on the 100-meter sprint event. Zhang Guan was originally a 100-meter world record holder. He also broke the 100-meter world record many times. It is a matter of course for the world record holder to break the world record he holds. In the 400-meter project, Zhang Guan is not the world record holder, he broke the world record set by Michael Johnson. This means that he also stood at the pinnacle of the world in another project.

Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee, is of course one of the professional sportsmen. He knows how difficult it is to break the 400-meter world record. He also knows this new 400-meter world record. For a 100-meter world champion What a huge amount of gold!

His Royal Highness Wang looked very excited, and sprinting did indeed easily provoke male hormones. Just listening to him said: "Within a day, no, it should be said that within a few hours, Zhang Guan broke the world records of two events, 9.68 seconds for 100 meters dash and 43.16 for 400 meters dash. Seconds, this is really a miracle! I believe history will remember this day! Remember this miracle belongs to Belgium!"

Behind Rogge, a Swiss assistant secretly glared at Prince Wang. Zhang Guan, who broke two world records, was forcibly given the title of “Miracle of Belgium” by His Royal Highness Prince Wang. Although the place to break the world record is indeed in Belgium, it is possible to break the record mainly because the athletes are strong, and it does not seem to have a direct relationship with where to play. When will breaking the world record have to pick Feng Shui?

But the VIP rooms were almost all Belgians. When they heard His Royal Highness Wang’s “belonging to the miracle of Belgium”, they all nodded, and they all agreed with it. Even Roger.

Seeing this scene, the assistant sighed helplessly, his boss nodded in agreement, then it is regarded as a "Belgian miracle"!

...

This time the Golden League, the broadcaster still invited Michael Johnson as a guest.

In the studio at this time, Michael Johnson's face was confused, and there was a trace of dismay in his eyes. Obviously, it was some reality that he could not accept the 400-meter world record being broken.

Michael Johnson, the former 400-meter world record holder, certainly knows how difficult it is to break the 400-meter world record. For Michael Johnson, the 400-meter world record is the biggest achievement in his sports career and the most A place worth bragging about.

But today, Michael Johnson witnessed the world record he broke being broken. It felt like he had raised a child for many years and was suddenly taken away by others. The sourness in his heart made Michael Johnson want to be big. There was a cry, but this is the studio. There are not only a lot of staff here, but also the audience in Europe in front of the TV. Therefore, Mike Johnson can only endure, every minute and every second at this time is extremely tormenting for this once flying man.

The host on the other side looked at Johnson helplessly and thought to himself: "Probably this world record came too abruptly, Johnson was hard to accept for a while! After all, 400 meters was his strongest point."

At this moment, the host's headset heard the voice of the director: "Michael seems to need some time to adjust himself. I will cut the lens for you. You will speak for yourself first."

The host had to say for himself: "It is really amazing. Not long ago, also in this venue, Zhang Guan broke the world-class record of men's 100-meter sprint. He pushed the limit of human 100-meter sprint. Within 9.70 seconds, the new world record of 9.68 seconds still makes it difficult for me to describe the shock in my heart! However, what I did not expect is that just two hours later, in the same venue, Zhang Guan broke the world record of 400 meters!"

"The 400-meter sprint, as the most difficult item in all sprints, is also the world’s most recognized world record! The previous 400-meter sprint world record was held by Mr. Michael Johnson for 43.18 seconds. Zhang Guan will The result improved by 0.02 seconds, oh, another 0.02 seconds. In the 100-meter sprint event, Zhang Guan also raised the world record by 0.02 seconds, which is a wonderful coincidence!"

"To be honest, in all the track and field world records. I always thought that the 400-meter world record is the most unlikely to be broken. If someone tells me that the 400-meter world record is broken, I will definitely think it is a joke on April Fools’ Day. . And not long ago, when I saw Zhang Guan’s 43.16 result, my first reaction was that someone really could break the 400-meter world record! Zhang Guan, he is well-deserved king of the world sprint! I need we can say He is the greatest sprinter in history!"

...

The final award ceremony at Brussels was clearly another highlight of the media chase, before the game. The organizer specially approved an award ceremony for athletes who can break the world record in Brussels. Since only one champion Zhang Guan broke the world record in Brussels, this special award ceremony became a stage for Zhang Guan alone.

According to the official announcement process before the game, the Belgian Olympic Committee President will give Zhang Guan a special prize of 100,000 euros, and the Mayor of Brussels will also give Zhang Guan an honorary citizen certificate and a city key, but when the award ceremony begins. The situation has changed. The President of the Belgian Olympic Committee and the Mayor of Brussels are all standing sideways, because His Royal Highness Wang Wang of Belgium personally appeared in front of the awards podium and presented Zhang Guan with a special prize of 100,000 euros and the honorary citizen certificate of Brussels and the city. key.

The Crown Prince Wang of Belgium personally presented the award to Zhang Guan, the meaning behind this is completely different. After two brutal world wars, the European royal family has little left. Although many royal families in Europe have no real power, their main role is to represent the image of the country. But at the same time, the royal family is also a yearning for popular spirit. The honour of Wang Chu, a country, who personally presented the award, could not be bought with money.

...

The hard working editor Gao Jie has learned this time. He knows that today is the IAAF Golden League Brussels race. Zhang Guan is going to participate in two other projects, so he simply waits in the office.

Sure enough, in the early morning, Gao Jie received the news that Zhang Guan won the men's 100-meter sprint and broke the world record with 9.68 seconds. Be the first to run to the 9.70 second mark. This news is extremely newsworthy. For a person engaged in the news industry, this level of news must be given a full version.

After finishing the new version, Gao Jie still did not leave. He was waiting for the news of the 400m race. As expected, he waited until Zhang Guan broke the world record in the 400m race.

Related news content and pictures were quickly transferred to Gao Jie's e-mail box. While scheduling, he lamented the two world records that Zhang Guan had just won.

Gao Jie is not an editor with a professional background in sports. He doesn't know much about track and field, but when he saw the manuscript sent to him by reporters, he realized that the gold content of this 400-meter world record was so large.

After being busy with all this, Gao Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he left the office and walked to the parking lot, ready to go home.

The tired-looking Gao Jie opened the door, turned into the car in a hurry, and started to ring the phone before the car rang.

Gao Jie's heart suddenly tightened: "Could it be revised again? Zhang Guan won the championship again? Impossible. Zhang Guan only participated in two events. Both the 100m and 400m races were finished. Zhang Guan took two. The champion, broke two world records, there should be no problem!"

While Gao Jie was talking, he answered the phone helplessly: "I’m Gao Jie, yes, I haven’t left yet, I just got on the bus and it’s in the parking lot! Is it going to be revised? Or Zhang Guan? Isn’t he already finished? The two champions of 100 meters and 400 meters, the two world records, and the manuscripts have been ranked. There are two full pages! Also highlight the award ceremony? What good report is there for an award ceremony! What? The Wang Chu of Belgium Award Zhang Guan personally!"

Gao Jie hung up the phone, looked out of the car window, and muttered to himself: "Wang Chu, isn't that the crown prince? The crown prince of Belgium personally awarded Zhang Guan the prize. A copy!"

For ordinary people in China, the word "wang Chu" is extremely lethal. Even if many people don't know where Belgium is in Europe, but since it is under the title of "wang Chu", everyone generally thinks it is a very amazing thing.

Professional sports reporters will definitely report on Zhang Guan’s breaking two world records in a day, and list various data to prove how great Zhang Guan’s two world records are, but the official public opinion guide hopes to report more. Save the awards. The two world records are just two numbers in the eyes of people who do not understand sports, but the Wang Chu award is a very face-saving thing, so in this way, it is of course better to refresh the face in Europe than to refresh the two. The number is more important.

The family house where Zhang Guan lived was the sound of firecrackers in the early morning. People who passed by heard the sound of firecrackers and knew that Zhang Guan won the championship again. The boss of the small newsstand not far away is full of happy smiles. Whenever Zhang Guan wins the world championship, his newspaper sales will always be several percent higher.

"Lao Wang, Zhang Guan has won the championship again? To be honest, I won't be interested in winning the championship." A passerby who was familiar with the boss of the stop asked.

"Not only the champion, but also broke the world record!" The boss of the newspaper stop Wang hummed and said: "The world record of 400 meters! Even the crown prince of Belgium gave Zhang Guan an award!"

"Oh! Such a great! Grand Prince of Belgium! Then give me a newspaper." The passerby threw the money to the boss.

CCTV once again demonstrated its extremely high work efficiency. In the 7 o'clock morning news, a 400-meter sprint documentary has been made. Although the documentary only has more than ten minutes, it has introduced these decades in detail. The development of the 400-meter sprint has made the people understand the project and let everyone know how difficult it is to break the 400-meter sprint to the world record.

Qiya Automobile Company.

Minister Jin was holding the phone with a panic on his face, because the other side of the phone was talking to the company's senior director Cui, who was the company's executive director, and his position was far above his minister.

Director Cui, who only listened to the other end of the phone, said: "Minister Jin, the advertisement that Zhang Guan made for us last time is personally very satisfactory. But I think the two versions you sent are not suitable in time. . One is the 15-second version and the other is the 30-second version, which are too short."

"I see! I immediately sent someone to contact the advertising company to make a 1-minute version." Minister Jin said.

"Add a 45-second version and a longer 90-second version." Director Cui directly instructed.

"Yes. But for 90-second advertisements, we may spend more on the investment of advertising costs." Minister Jin continued: "The production cost is only one of them. The key is that the time we spend buying advertisements from TV stations will increase. This This will increase the cost of publicity."

"You don't need to worry about funding! Zhang Guan has just broken the world record of 400 meters. He is now the focus of the world. We have to take this opportunity to increase investment in publicity. We signed Zhang Guan. As a spokesperson, the company has already spent a lot of money, and the company’s finances have used the future publicity budget. It can be said that in the next five years, we are unlikely to have budgets to sign other big-name stars, so we must make good use of it. Every achievement Zhang Guan has made to promote our brand." Director Cui said.

...

There are overwhelming reports in China, and in Belgium, Zhang Guan is staying in the embassy and receiving professional foreign affairs training. (To be continued.)
