Chapter 347 Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year
At around 8:20, when Zhang Huasong, Pan Xiaowen, and several leaders of the General Administration of Sports of China, got out of a welcome car together, the fans at the entrance of the Grand Theater almost started to riot.
"Oh my God, Zhang Huasong, I saw Zhang Huasong! Zhang Huasong, I love you!"
"Zhang Huasong, the king of track and field, the king of tennis, the king of music, the king of the world!"
"Zhang Huasong, vitory, I want to sign!"
The ten Olympic champions, the Australian Open Grand Slam, and the continued popularity of "vitory" have made Zhang Huasong the hottest star at this Lawrence Awards ceremony.
As soon as Zhang Huasong appeared, many of his loyal fans who were waiting for Zhang Huasong were not to mention that even the fans of other celebrities were so excited that they wanted to push forward and wanted Zhang Huasong's autograph.
Most people will not just like to admire one star, and those who are like Hobbes who are a star, after all, are the few.
It is naturally not allowed for fans to break through the blockade line. The Lawrence Organizing Committee has so much income every year, and they invite big and round security guards and bodyguards to ensure the safety of these world's biggest stars and guests.
Of course, the stars themselves will not stop them from signing their fans.
Zhang Huasong got out of the car and glanced at both sides and saw many fans holding his name. There were Chinese and overseas Chinese, white, black, Arab, etc., and there were huge numbers.
Among them, a white young man was wearing a dress full of photos of Zhang Huasong receiving the Olympic award, Chinese "Flying Higher", English "vitory", etc., full of fans, and desperately shouting Zhang Huasong's name in front of the security guard who was blocking him.
If it weren't for two big-shouldered and round-waisted security guards, he would have rushed over like crazy!
I have seen many die-hard fans in China, but Europeans and Americans are generally surprised at his omnipotence and admire his achievements. However, it is rare to be as loyal fans as domestic fans.
After all, many Europeans and Americans still subconsciously discriminate against Asians and Chinese. Even if they admire Zhang Huasong's personal achievements, they will not have a mentality of admiration.
The foreign fans Zhang Huasong met in the past usually asked for an autograph, take a photo, and express "You are so awesome"!
But like this fan, Zhang Huasong has never seen a foreign white fan with names, photos, and song names on his clothes.
So, Zhang Huasong walked towards the fan.
When Anti-Hobs saw Zhang Huasong walking in his direction, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself!
It seems that my move to print Zhang Huasong's name, photos, and song names on my clothes was successful! Zhang Huasong did notice his uniqueness!
Zhang Huasong walked between the two security guards and hugged Hobbs through the two security guards' hands.
Hobbs was afraid that Zhang Huasong would rush to enter the theater, so he quickly took out Zhang Huasong's album and pen "Flying Higher" and asked Zhang Huasong to sign for himself.
When Zhang Huasong signed the autograph, Hobbs said that he also wanted to be as strong and healthy as Zhang Huasong, and asked Zhang Huasong if he had any suggestions for him.
Zhang Huasong looked at his body shape and was indeed a little thin. He wore thick glasses and a otakus. He was a bit different from the ordinary extroverted and strong white people, and belonged to sub-healthy.
So, Zhang Huasong asked Hobbs if he had any disease, and Hobbs said no. Then, based on his skills as a magical exercise doctor and divine physiotherapy, Zhang Huasong proposed several simple indoor exercise programs for Hobbs.
Hobbs doesn't need to do anything to exercise or run. He just gets up in the morning and goes home from get off work every night for 10 or 20 minutes to greatly improve his physical fitness.
He cannot be allowed to have the level of an athlete, but he can be freed from a sub-healthy state.
After hearing this, Hobbs was very excited and quickly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
Then, Zhang Huasong signed the autographs of several Chinese and overseas Chinese or foreign fans huddled behind him, and took a few selfies for them with their mobile phones.
After signing Hobbs and his fans nearby, Zhang Huasong did not dare to sign in another place, but thanked everyone while following Pan Xiaowen and others into the Grand Theater.
At 9 a.m. local time on February 28, 2009, the 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards ceremony, which was broadcast live in more than 180 countries and regions around the world, officially began at the New York Grand Theater.
More than 1,000 outstanding athletes and guests from all over the world attended the event and prepared to witness the announcement of the 2009 Lawrence Award.
The previous awards are the Best Male and Female Newcomer of the Year Award, the Disability Award, the Best Comeback Award, the Best Breakthrough Award, the Special Contribution Award, the Best Extreme Athlete Award, the Sports Style Award and other awards with lower weight.
Nearly an hour after the award ceremony, a video collection of six team candidates began to be played on the big screen. The video collection of the Chinese Olympic delegation lasted the longest, and the result was self-evident.
Sure enough, the Chinese Olympic delegation won the Best Team of the Year Award at the 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards for its outstanding performance at the 2008 Peking Olympics.
After the Team Awards are awarded, it will be the most important male and female athlete of the year!
The first thing to be held was the award of female athletes. The pole vault queen Ilena Isinbaeva from Russia won the Lawrence Best Female Athlete of the Year Award in 2009 for her 2008 Olympic Championship and four world records that year, as well as her amazing performance in her career that has broken the world record for a total of 24 world records so far.
Isinbaeva went on stage excitedly to receive the award. After giving a speech, the host went on stage to read a few advertising slogans, and then began the finale: Lawrence Best Male Athlete of the Year Award.
Video highlights of six nominees began to be played on the big screen, Nadal's Olympic champion, Atp's world number one, Phelps' Olympic record-breaking 8 gold medals in 7 Olympic Games, Maradona's successor Leo Messi's Olympic champion, etc.
However, everyone knows that the performance of these candidates is not enough. They all come to watch the ceremony. This year's Lawrence Award belongs to the one who won the title of king at the Olympics.
When the last video collection of Zhang Huasong was broadcast and the familiar bgm "vitory" sounded, everyone in the audience applauded.
"Vitory" has only been released for a few days, and Zhang Huasong's video collection must have been prepared long ago, but the Lawrence Organizing Committee is willing to temporarily replace Zhang Huasong's new song as background music, which shows that the organizing committee also attaches great importance to Zhang Huasong.
In the exciting background music, Zhang Huasong continued to break the indoor and outdoor world records in 2008, constantly qualified for the Olympics, and then won the Olympics championship and won the top ten championships in the Olympics. Even Zhang Huasong's opponents Nadal, Messi and others were excited and convinced, not to mention other guests and Zhang Huasong's fans and compatriots in front of the TV.
Sure enough, the final award presenter took out the award presentation card and read the name that was not beyond everyone's expectations.
"I announced that the winner of the 2009 Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year Award was: Zhang Huasong from China!"
Zhang Huasong won the 2009 Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year Award for his outstanding performance on January 1, 2008, December 31, 2008, and also broke Roger Federer's monopoly on this award for four years.
There was a thunderous applause at the scene. Zhang Huasong went on stage to receive the most important sports award every year under the gaze of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, and then browsed the screen in front of countless viewers around the world.
Chapter completed!
