"You haven't been here for a week, so you're leaving soon!" Sharapova snuggled in Zhang Guanhuai's face, his face full of grudges.

Zhang Guan sighed helplessly: "The Athletics World Cup is about to start. This is my first time to participate in the Athletics World Cup, and it is also my first time to participate in the long jump event on the international arena! The comprehensive strength of Asian Athletics was originally It’s not as good as Europe and the Americas, and even Africa. If I don’t go to the competition, this time the Asian United will be at the bottom."

"Okay! Anyway, this year's China Open is about to start, and the World Cup should be over at that time! I'll go find you then." Sharapova said.

"The track and field World Cup will only end on September 17, and I will probably return to China on the 19th. When will the China Open start this year?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Starting on September 18. The Chinese Open is only a second-level event. I wasn't going to participate, but since I'm with you, I will definitely go." Sharapova said.

In tennis tournaments, different levels of tournament bonuses and points are different. Of course, the qualifications of players of various levels of competition also have different restrictions. Among them, the four major slam events each year are naturally the highest level events, and the requirements for the players are also the highest; the first-level tour under the four major slams, the prize money is generally 1.34 million US dollars, this level of competition due to bonuses and points Both are relatively high, often able to attract players to participate in the Grand Slam championship level.

Under the first-level tour is the second-level tour, the points of the second-level tour have decreased. The prize money is generally 600,000 US dollars, of course there are exceptions, such as the Dubai Open, the organizer is a local tyrant. So the bonus is more than one million dollars. The second-level tour occasionally attracts two or three Grand Slam champion-level players to participate. If the organizers are willing to pay the game fee, it is also possible that there are more big-name players than the first-level tour. In 2006, China Open was the second-tier tour.

As for the third-tier tour, the prize money is only 175,000 US dollars. This level of competition is generally attended by players outside the world's top 20. The big players will be attracted by the appearance fee; and the four-tier tour can be regarded as a professional league. For entry-level events, players are relatively weak. Players in the general ranking of around 30 in the world will be able to win the fourth-tier tournament.

China Open only resumed in 2004 and was only included in the ATP and WTA level 2 tournaments in 2005. However, because the organizer is strong enough and the country supports it strongly, it attracts many top players every year. It wasn't until 2009 that China Open was smoothly upgraded to a first-class event.

This year's Chinese Open includes Mauresmo, Davenport, Petrova, Jankovic, Kuznetsova and other players. Sharapova, who has just won the US Open championship, was not prepared to participate. of. But in order to get together with Zhang Guan. Sharapova still decided to participate in this year's China Open competition.

...

On September 14, Zhang Guan arrived in Athens, Greece, and joined other players of the national team to participate in the 10th Athletics World Cup.

This time, the national team sent a total of 12 players, including five male players and seven female players. In addition to Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren, the male players of the national team also have to participate in three items of triple jump, high jump and triple jump.

The rules of the Athletics World Cup are different from ordinary world-class events. This event is calculated according to points, and the men's and women's groups are calculated separately. The participating teams are also different from the traditional one. Instead of registering in units of countries, they apply in the form of alliances on all continents. Of course, like the track and field powers of the United States and Russia, a country's track and field strength exceeds that of a continent, so it tends to form its own team.

In this track and field World Cup, the men’s team has European, American, African, Asian, American, Russian, French, Oceanian, and Greek; the females have European and American Team, African United, Asian United, American United, Russia, Poland, Oceania United and Greece. The United States and Russia, as the two countries with the strongest track and field levels in the world, each form their own team. The Greek team, as the host, has also formed its own team, and the French men's team and the Polish women's team have independently formed teams.

The national team obviously does not have the level of independent team formation, so it is necessary to join the Asian team. According to the situation in previous years, the Asian team is at the bottom of the major leagues, and often even the independent countries are not as good.

However, the strength of the Asian team this year is extraordinary. The first is the group of naturalized legions in the countries of West Asia. Among them are many top players in the world, such as Qatar’s 3,000-meter hurdle king Shahien. His 5000-meter long-distance running is also the world’s top level. In East Asia, Liu Feiren And the Japanese team's hammer player Shigeru Furuhiro also has the ability to win gold. Of course, the biggest killer of the Asian United team is undoubtedly Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan will participate in the four events of 100m, 200m, 400m and long jump in this track and field world cup. This is unprecedented in the history of the track and field world cup. No athletes have done so in the history of track and field. Being able to play smoothly will create another history.

However, this time no one regarded Zhang Guan as a successful player. Zhang Guan broke two world records in Brussels, Belgium, and has proved to the world that he can cope with two events at the same time. Among the sprint events, Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship.

As for Zhang Guan's sudden participation in the long jump event, it did make many people feel surprised, but if you think about it carefully, you won't be surprised. There are many examples of sprinters and long jumps. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, sprinting and track and field were even very popular. It's just that in recent years, with the continuous improvement of the strength of players, the requirements for athletes' technical level are getting higher and higher, but it is better to run side by side, but the cross-sports athletes such as sprint and long jump are gradually being eliminated.

As for Zhang Guan's performance in the long jump event, the best prediction currently given by professionals is a silver medal because of the long jump event. Panamanian Saladino will participate. Saradino is currently the best long jumper in the world. It is said that he has the strength to jump to a distance of 8.7 meters. In the IAAF Golden League, which ended not long ago, Saradino also won five games. In the end, one million will try to share a piece of soup.

With the existence of Saradino, the world's best long jumper, Zhang Guan will naturally not be regarded as a champion.

...

In the hotel's restaurant, Powell sat alone in a corner with a strange expression. Occasionally, other athletes came and wanted to chat with him, but because of Powell's expression, he chose to detour.

suddenly. A figure appeared and sat directly opposite Powell. Powell thought why the guy was so uninteresting, so he looked up and saw Zhang Guan looking at himself.

"It turns out to be you!" Powell said.

Powell is a big-name athlete, and big-name athletes have a bad face. The average player wouldn't dare to get close, but Zhang Guan of the bigger card didn't have this kind of concern. Moreover, his private relationship with Powell is quite good. When he saw Powell's expression, curiosity drove Zhang Guan to sit over.

"Asafa, it looks like you are in a bad mood!" Zhang Guan said.

Powell nodded: "I have decided to give up the 100-meter track and field World Cup."

"Give up? Why? Is there a physical cause? The old injury has recurred?" Zhang Guan asked. He felt that apart from the cause of the injury, there was really no reason for Powell to retire.

Powell sighed. He said: "I don't want to participate in the World Cup as the United States. I think Jamaica's track and field level is enough to form an independent team, just like the French team this year!"

Everyone knows that Jamaica is a place rich in trapeze, but in fact, Jamaica is also very powerful in other sports. It is only because Jamaica's sprint is so dazzling, so people only remember that Jamaica is rich in trapeze.

Powell's psychology, Zhang Guan can understand, if possible. Zhang Guan also hopes to be able to set up a Chinese team separately from the United States and Russia, rather than stay in the Asian United team. Zhang Guan believes that every athlete hopes that his country will be able to form an independent team to compete in the track and field World Cup.

However, for independent teams, the first thing you need is strength, the overall strength of a country’s track and field. For example, the United States or Russia, even if they form an independent team to participate in the track and field World Cup, they also have the opportunity to win the first place.

"Asafah, I can understand your feelings. You see that I am also in the Asian team!" Zhang Guan continued: "In this way, you are much better than me. At least the strength of the American team is very strong. , But the strength of our Asian team is very strong."

"This year's Asian United team is not weak. There are three world record holders, you, Liu Feiren and Sha Xien. And you are also the holder of two world records." Powell paused, then said: " In the 100-meter project, the strength of the other players is average. The strongest are probably Obik Viru and Tyson Gay! As for the 400-meter project, Varina did not participate."

"Did Varina come? Who is the American team?" Zhang Guan asked curiously.

"La Shawn Merritt. This young man seems to be doing pretty well recently," Powell continued. "You are the world record holder for the 100m and 400m. There is certainly no pressure to win the 200m. Obikvi Lu will also participate in the 200-meter race. In addition, last year’s 200-meter champion Wallace Spearman will also participate! By the way, we have a young man in Jamaica. If you are young, it is relative to me. In fact, he and you He is the same age. His 200m level is not bad, but he has not participated in many international competitions, and his experience is still lacking."

When Powell finished, he raised his head, looked behind Zhang Guan, and then said, "Here he is, he is coming!"

Zhang Guan had already guessed who Powell was talking about, but he still wanted to confirm his thoughts, so Zhang Guan looked back immediately and really saw a familiar face.

"It really is Bolt!"

Now that there are so many pirated websites, you can still insist on subscribing to the genuine version. It is really rewarding me for my meals, my food and clothing parents, Of course, the friends who watched the piracy were very happy to vote for it, and I am very grateful.

The competitive category is originally a niche, and it is generally less than other categories. The threshold for competitive articles to achieve good results is also higher than other categories, so I have to ask everyone to continue to support it, and subscribe to the genuine version. If I don’t write part-time, I quit my job and go home to write full-time.

Finally, a nagging sentence, the book is genuine: starting. point. in. Text. network. (To be continued.)
