Looking at Guo Zizhao's surprised expression, Director Du Zhaocai also explained with a smile, "According to our internal information, the competition between the cities applying to host the event is fierce. Of these 14 cities, Europe is definitely going to make up the lion's share. London, Paris, Rome, Lausanne, Zurich, Morocco, these famous stops are certainly essential. ”

"Eugene and New York in the United States are both old track and field Grand Prix sites, and these two stations are basically certain at present. The Doha station in the Middle East is estimated to be not a big problem, those Middle Easterners have a lot of money, and they throw a lot of bonuses every year, which is also very popular with players and sponsors from all over the world. Therefore, it is estimated that there are only 1~2 sites at most in East Asia. ”

"At present, the more powerful competition is our magic capital and Japan's Osaka, although the qualifications of Osaka station are older than ours, but the influence of our magic capital station in the past two years is much greater than theirs, so the chance of winning this station is still quite large."

"It's just that, in addition to the Demon Capital Station, we also plan to apply for a Capital Station." Director Du Zhaocai also said excitedly, "With our country's achievements in the men's sprint event over the years, I think it is still very feasible to win 2 Diamond League sites!" ”

"Although there have been few competitions in Beijing before, we have the foundation of last year's Beijing Olympics, and there are no problems in the organization of personnel and venue arrangements. If the application is successful, the Beijing Station and the Modu Station will be one south and one north, which will greatly expand our influence in the international athletics world! ”

"That's right!" At this time, Director Liu Peng also interjected with a smile, "Next year, our bureau is preparing to bid for the 2015 Outdoor Track and Field World Championships for Beijing." If the Diamond League site can settle in Beijing in advance, it can also add a lot of chips to Beijing's successful bid for the World Athletics Championships! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Peng also said with some regret, "Alas...... I think that at the beginning, if you could take the initiative to run for the IAAF Athletes' Commission or the IOC, then we would have more confidence to speak at the IAAF! ”

"Well, it's not too late, although you are now retired, and the IAAF athletes' committee members can't run, but the IOC athletes' commissioners are still no problem! If you still want to, we can help you get it up and running! ”

……

"Ahem......" Guo Zizhao was also a little embarrassed, talking about the competition for the Diamond League site, why did he turn to his election as an IOC athletes......

"Well, Director Liu, hehe...... You know that I'm not used to getting involved in politics, otherwise I would have run for election last year. Guo Zizhao also scratched his head a little helplessly, and continued, "I think, my specialty is still in training athletes, and I can train more international top sprinters for the country, and I am also contributing to the country!" ”

"As for running for the IOC and IAAF positions, I still have to rely on you experienced leaders! I don't know anything, and even if I go, I'll be fooled by others! As for the Diamond League site for this competition, I will definitely cooperate with your work. When I need to come forward to communicate, I am absolutely obliged! ”

"Huh...... You're just lazy in this regard! Director Liu Peng also pointed at Guo Zizhao with a smile and said with some deep meaning.

In fact, with Guo Zizhao's achievements and huge influence in the international athletics world over the years, it is long enough to run for the position of the IAAF and even the International Olympic Committee, but Guo Zizhao is also quite helpless!

Back then, after Guo Zizhao reached the top at the Sydney Olympics, Guo Zizhao became a well-known business card of Chinese sports in the world. Especially after Guo Zizhao won 6 gold medals in track and field and swimming at the Athens Olympics, Guo Zizhao's status in the international sports arena is unparalleled.

This is the first "king of sprinting" and "king of speed" in international athletics! And he is also the winner of the "Super Slam" that monopolizes almost the entire men's sprint event! Moreover, he is also a yellow man who broke the black monopoly on sprinting events! Even the IOC and IAAF at that time were ready, and once Guo Zizhao signed up for the athletes' committee election, his successful election would definitely be a sure thing.

According to the IOC, the Athletes' Commission has a total of 15 members, including 8 athletes in the Summer Olympic Games, 4 athletes in the Winter Olympic Games, and 3 more appointed by the President of the International Olympic Committee, and these 15 members will be appointed for a term of eight years, during which they will automatically become members of the IOC.

The IOC Athletes' Commission elections are usually held during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Athletes must also be from the current or previous Olympic Games. The top 4 in the Summer Olympics and the top 2 in the Winter Olympics will be eligible to serve as members of the expired sports committee.

Of course, if there are expired Athletes' Commission quotas, the IOC President can appoint them directly from among the elite athletes who have not been selected due to insufficient votes. However, only if each country ends up having only one Athletes' Commission member! Because, these members of the Athletes' Commission who have been elected to participate in the competition can directly become members of the IOC!

The members of the International Olympic Committee are amazing! According to the regulations, there can be no more than 115 people, and generally around 110, and these 110 people will have the right to vote on the decisions of the IOC. At present, there are only three IOC members in Chinese mainland, including He Zhenliang, Lu Shengrong and Yu Zaiqing.

He Zhenliang is a former deputy director of the Sports Commission, president of the Chinese Olympic Committee and vice president of the International Olympic Committee. Lu Shengrong was also the president of the International Badminton Federation and a member of the International Olympic Committee. Yu Zaiqing is currently the deputy director of the General Administration of the People's Republic of China, a member of the International Olympic Committee, and was elected vice president of the International Olympic Committee in 2008.

In addition, the President of the IOC may recommend the appointment of up to four elite athletes to the Athletes' Commission in order to promote certain Olympic sports. However, these four recommended members cannot become members of the IOC, and they do not have any voting decision-making power.

Therefore, if Guo Zizhao also participated in the election of the Athletes' Commission at that time, he would definitely be the fourth elected IOC member in China, and the first member of the Olympic Committee in China to become an athlete.

However, to the surprise of the International Olympic Committee and the IAAF, Guo Zizhao did not sign up for the election during the Athens Olympics!

……

In fact, the reason for this result is also very simple, that is, Guo Zizhao's identity as an athlete outside the system.

Although Guo Zizhao's influence in the international athletics world was high enough at that time, in the domestic sports world, he was still outside the system and was still just a "black household". There is no problem for Guo Zizhao to represent the country to compete for gold and silver, but let such a guy outside the system become a member of the International Olympic Committee and become a figure in the IOC who has the same rights as the leaders of the General Administration, no one dares to open this opening!

You must know that Deng Yaping, the "first sister" who has dominated the international table tennis world for many years, entered the sports world and entered politics after retiring, and she only served as a member of the Women's Committee and the Environmental Committee under the International Olympic Committee. The members of these two committees are only ordinary members.

Although the later IOC President Samaranch recommended the appointment of Deng Yaping as a member of the Athletes' Commission, this member who was not appointed through voting could not become a member of the IOC!

Therefore, even if Director Yuan Weiming and Deputy Director Li Mingzhong had a good relationship with Guo Zizhao at that time, they did not dare to report Guo Zizhao's name before they received instructions from a higher-level leader, which may make a political mistake.

Of course, with Guo Zizhao's influence at the time, even if the Chinese Olympic Committee did not report Guo Zizhao's name, the IOC president could directly recommend the appointment of Guo Zizhao as a member of the Athletes' Commission.

However, when the then chairman of the Olympic Committee, Rogge, asked Guo Zizhao for his opinion, Guo Zizhao also politely refused on the grounds that he was still too young and inexperienced to be incompetent for the time being.

Of course, in the face of many foreign media interviews, Guo Zizhao also gave the same statement.

Granny's ...... What's the use of this kind of committee member, who doesn't have any decision-making voting rights? Besides, the country has no intention of signing up for the election, but he agreed to the direct appointment of the chairman of the Olympic Committee, isn't this a slap in the face of the Chinese Olympic Committee? On the contrary, it will make the relationship between myself and our National Olympic Committee and the General Administration unfavorable, so forget it......

In the same way, Guo Zizhao ultimately failed to qualify for membership of the IAAF Athletes' Commission......
