All-round Athlete

Chapter 828

Zhang Guan called President Zhu of the Bicycle Association, but President Zhu expressed surprise at Zhang Guan's sudden call.

After learning that Zhang Guan was willing to participate in the Olympic cycling team road race, President Zhu immediately became excited.

Don't worry, as long as you are willing to participate in the competition, all other preparations and logistical work will be handed over to our cycling association! President Zhu said, packing the tickets.

In addition, I have another request. I hope that the Cycling Association can give me a place for track cycling in the London Olympics. Zhang Guan continued.

Olympic track cycling quota? President Zhu asked tentatively after being surprised: Could it be that you want to participate in track cycling?

Yes, I think track cycling is a good sport, so I want to try it. Zhang Guan said.

Well... President Zhu obviously hesitated.

Difficult? Zhang Guan frowned.

In principle, there is no problem, but in this matter, I can't guarantee 100% that there must be a quota. President Zhu went on to explain: Track cycling is the only bicycle event that our country can do well. In fact, the women’s team has always been the one that gets the most results, and the men’s team can only be regarded as the middle class in the world. In the Olympic Games, a country has a maximum of 7 places to participate in the competition. According to the situation in previous years, the women’s team has won 7 places. There is no problem with the number of places, and the men's team can get 5 participation places, which is considered very good.

If you get 5 places, can you give me one? Zhang Guan asked immediately.

Of course, even if you only get two places, I can give you one. President Zhu continued: But the trials haven't started yet, and I can't guarantee how many places I will get in the end. How about this? , as long as you get more than one quota, the Bicycle Association will reserve one for you.”

Well, I will leave President Zhu to worry about this matter. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

President Zhu hung up the phone, but an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

It's interesting, Zhang Guan is actually going to participate in track cycling! It seems to be lively now. President Zhu said.

At this time, there was a middle-aged man sitting in front of President Zhu. This person was the director of the competition department of the Bicycle Association, surnamed Zhao. Director Zhao originally came to report to President Zhu, but he did not expect to be called by Zhang Guan. The phone was interrupted.

President, Zhang Guan wants to participate in the Confidence Car competition? Director Zhao asked, as long as it is related to the competition, then he, the director of the competition department, must take care of it.

Yes, Zhang Guan is willing to participate in the Olympic road cycling competition, and he also asked me for an Olympic quota for track cycling. President Zhu replied.

Since when did Zhang Guan become so interested in bicycles? This field bicycle is different from a road bicycle. Can Zhang Guan do it? Director Zhao asked worriedly.

I know that many road cyclists were engaged in track cycling when they were young. Therefore, there are still some similarities between these two sports. I think Zhang Guan should have some confidence since he proposed it. President Zhu went on to say: Besides, in the track cycling event, our men's team is not capable of winning medals. If Zhang Guan goes, if he wins a medal, it will be the credit of our cycling association. Well!

Cycling also has many small projects, and the most profitable and most commercialized is definitely road cycling, so many excellent track cyclists and mountain bikers will enter the field of road cycling in the future. After all, athletes are eating For those who are young, everyone wants to earn more while they are young. For example, in the Tour de France, many sprinters came from track cycling, and some climbing kings have also been engaged in mountain biking.

...

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Guan continued to check the popular players in the London Olympics. Of course, when he saw the tennis event, a familiar name caught his eyes.

Andy Murray! Zhang Guan whispered the name softly.

In fact, on the list given by the gaming company, Murray is not the biggest favorite to win the Olympic Games. For example, Federer, Nadal, and even Zhang Guan himself, the odds show that Murray is more popular than Murray. It's only a little bit more than Djokovic, and the more is still a lot of Murray's strength, but it's because of the home court.

However, Zhang Guan remembers that Murray defeated Federer in straight sets in the 2012 Olympic tennis men's singles final and became the first British athlete to win a tennis singles gold medal at the Olympics.

Tennis should be a very important event for the British, but I am the Olympic champion of this event, and this gold medal cannot be lost! Zhang Guan thought about it, but found that he, the defending champion of the Olympic Games, had not won the Olympic Games yet. qualifications for the competition.

Since I broke up with Martha, I have not participated in tennis matches. My ATP points should have been cleared now! I have to find a match to play and earn some ATP points. Zhang Guan found the tennis schedule After looking it up, I set my sights on today's China Open.

China Open is an ATP500 event. If you win 500 points, you should be able to squeeze into the top 100 of ATP. Moreover, the difficulty of low-level events is not very high. It should be easy to win the championship. Dele and Nadal That kind of player will definitely not fly all the way here to grab 500 points here. Zhang Guan thought while sending a text message to the director of the tennis management center, asking him to have dinner tomorrow.

Zhang Guan believes that if he is willing to participate in this year's China Open, both the tennis center and the organizer of the China Open will agree without hesitation. Even if a player is temporarily kicked out, Zhang Guan will be given a spot. After all, it is difficult to see the world's top big-name players in the China Open. As a local athlete, Zhang Guan can definitely gather more popularity for the China Open.

The next event is shooting. This event is very difficult, and the level of domestic athletes is not bad. It is estimated that the competition in the domestic trials is fierce enough, so I will not mix it up. Taekwondo? The level of domestic athletes is also very good. Wrestling, two big men hugging each other and fighting close to each other, it's too basic, so forget it...

Zhang Guan turned to the next page, and several sheets of paper were devoted to introducing the participation of athletes in the same event.

The number one event in the Olympic Games - track and field!

Athletics! A different feeling suddenly appeared in Zhang Guan's heart.

Athletics can be said to be Zhang Guan's old line of work, and it is the place where Zhang Guan started his dream. Therefore, Zhang Guan has always had a special feeling for track and field events. For Zhang Guan, perhaps other sports, he can easily leave, only track and field is the most difficult for Zhang Guan to let go.

For next year's Olympic Games, I can only choose three track and field events. Which one should I choose? Zhang Guan became conflicted.
