All-round Athlete

Chapter 59 Breaking the black monopoly

Facing the time of 9.87 seconds, Zhang Guan seemed very calm. He was not surprised by this time. He knew that he could go faster, and when he was in better condition, he should be able to run to about 9.82 seconds.

The audience in the field applauded, this is for this crown, and Zhang Guan subconsciously waved to the surroundings to express his gratitude to the audience.

Then, on the TV screen, the broadcaster pointed the camera at Sean Crawford.

The world's top sprinter looked confused, as if he hadn't realized what happened just now.

"A man of the yellow race? Red clothes, he must be Chinese. Only Chinese people like to wear red so much. Who is he? How come I don't know him at all. How can a Chinese run so fast? I can't catch up at all! He is Possessed by the devil?" Countless thoughts flashed in Crawford's mind.

As a top athlete in the world, Crawford has participated in many competitions, and has competed with the top athletes in the world many times, and those top sprinters in the world are all black players. As for the yellow race? The whole world knows that yellow people can't run in sprints.

But today's situation is beyond Crawford's cognition, there is a yellow man who can't even catch up with him! Crawford can't wait to go up and grab Zhang Guan and try his best to see if he is disguised by a black man painted with yellow dye.

"This world is so crazy! I can't understand it at all." Crawford shook his head. He felt that his IQ should be recharged.

...

In the game just now, Crawford didn't let go, he ran very hard. When he passed Obardley Thompson, he already thought he could win the first place in the group, but then he suddenly discovered that there was a The figure had already rushed in front of him. So he started to chase, and tried his best to catch up, but he found that he couldn't catch up with the opponent. Until the last 20 meters, he knew that the overall situation was settled, and he could feel the gap of 0.05 seconds between the two. The gap is at their level, and it is already difficult to catch up with each other before the finish line, so Crawford gave up catching up.

As for Zhang Guan, after the 70 meters passed, he had already confirmed that Crawford would not be able to catch up with him when he was running with all his strength, so he also relieved a little bit of strength appropriately, and then crossed the finish line calmly .

The two of them did not cross the line when they crossed the finish line. In fact, if Crawford poked his head at the last moment, he might be able to cross the line first. However, as a famous player, Crawford naturally has a strong feeling For self-esteem, Zhang Guan didn't make any cross-line moves, and neither would Crawford. After all, this was only the second round of the group stage. Whether he won the first or second place in the group, it would not affect the result of entering the next round.

In the end, Zhang Guan took the first place in 9.87 seconds, Sean Crawford in the second place in 9.89 seconds, and Omadley Thompson in the third place slowed down at the last moment to keep the third place. Ran a score of 10.12 seconds.

Although 9.89 seconds is not the limit of Sean Crawford, if this result is placed in a general track and field grand prix, it is enough to win the championship. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to achieve such a result within 9.9 seconds in the Olympic rematch, but since the next semi-final will be held the next day, there is no need for Crawford to do it very deliberately. Conserve your strength.

The fourth to sixth players all have a final time of 10.26 seconds, but they don't need to use the data of one-thousandth of a second to compare each other's results, because according to the rules, except for the top three in the group, the final time is 10.26 seconds. A good athlete will advance. The fourth place in the first group, the Frenchman Ronald Bergnon, ran 10.15 seconds, which is already faster than them, so their Olympic journey is over. up.

As for Gerardi Chenofi of Kazakhstan, he ranked seventh in the group with a time of 10.42 seconds. However, from the look on his face, Gerardy Chenofi did not show any disappointment. As an Asian athlete, it is already a very good result to be able to enter the second round. He can end his Olympic journey with satisfaction.

...

In the distance, Director Yu looked at the final results and remained silent for a long time.

Director Yu knows Zhang Guan's speed is very fast. If Zhang Guan runs around 9.95 seconds, Director Yu will be very happy, but he will not be surprised. But Zhang Guan ran a time of 9.87 seconds. Even Director Yu couldn't believe it was true. Even though Zhang Guan had already walked off the field and was about to come to him, he still couldn't accept this number.

Within 9.9 seconds, a number that Director Yu has never thought about and dare not think about. Even among black athletes in Europe and America, only a very small number of them can cross this threshold. Crossing this threshold means becoming the top athlete in the world, which means being able to win the championship in any track and field competition except the Olympic Games.

9.9 seconds, humans did not break through this achievement until 1991. Worldwide, among active athletes who are still active on the field, those who can run under 9.9 seconds in official competitions can be counted on both hands, and they are basically American players. In 2004, even Jamaica, a powerhouse in sprinting, still had a national record of 9.91 seconds in the 100 meters, which has not yet broken through the 9.9-second mark. That is to say, Powell, the current Jamaica flying man, has not broken through 9.9 seconds in official competitions. .

Director Yu came to his senses when he saw Zhang Guan approaching him. He looked at Zhang Guan and stopped talking, but a "pity" expression appeared on his face.

"Coach? What's wrong with you? Are you not satisfied with my running?" Zhang Guan asked.

"It's a pity, what a pity! It would be great if you ran like this in the semi-finals, and you will definitely be able to enter the finals."

"Just for this?" Zhang Guan looked at Director Yu dumbfounded, and then said: "If I work harder in the semi-finals, I will definitely make it to the finals."

...

In the BBC studio, Eriksson no longer spoke. No way, this slap in the face hurts too much.

Eriksson can be regarded as an authoritative figure in British track and field. As a professor and a coach, his words are inherently "professional", but now, in Zhang Guan, his "professional judgment" "It all fell through. As an expert, being inaccurate is a very painful thing.

"This damn Chinese, why does he run so fast! How can he run so fast! This is a BBC live broadcast, which can be watched all over the world. I will lose face in front of people all over the world! What should I do?" Rickerson took a peek at the host, who was chatting happily with another guest, Edwards.

"Unexpectedly, the speed of this Chinese player is so fast, which is beyond everyone's expectations." Edwards said.

"Yes, the rebroadcast screen just now gave the Chinese coaching staff an expression. Although it was only for a short second, I can confirm that the Chinese coaching staff was also surprised by this result." The host paused, and then said: "It's just incredible."

Edwards immediately went on to say: "As a person of yellow race, it is a miracle that he can achieve such a result in the 100-meter event. We should congratulate him! Maybe he has the hope of breaking the monopoly of blacks in the 100-meter sprint event."

"Just because a Chinese wants to break the monopoly of blacks in the 100-meter sprint event? This kind of thinking is really naive!" A strange voice suddenly sounded, and it was Eriksson who spoke.

"Why not?" Edwards immediately retorted: "If I remember correctly, there are about 500 to 600 million black people in the world, of which there are less than 40 million black people in the United States, but there are 1.2 billion black people in China. Population, among the 40 million blacks in the United States, it is not impossible for so many talented players to appear among the 1.2 billion people in China.”

"What's the use of having too many people? After all, they are only yellow people. It is impossible for yellow people to surpass black people in sprinting!" Eriksson snorted coldly, and then said: "This Chinese runs so fast, Maybe some special method was used."

"A special method?" The host was taken aback, apparently not knowing what the so-called "special method" was in Eriksson's mouth.

Edwards next to him knew what Eriksson meant. For an athlete, the potential meaning of the so-called special method is that the athlete used some prohibited drugs to improve his performance.

The issue of doping is taboo for all athletes. It can be said that this is a very serious topic. The reason why Eriksson did not explicitly say the words "banned drugs" or "doping" is that Using "special methods" instead is obviously because I have no evidence, and if I say it clearly, it will have a very bad effect.

Edwards said: "Mr. Eriksson, athletes will take urine samples after the competition, and as far as I know, the physical examination of this Olympic Games is very strict. A Nordic biological company provides technology. This Many of the company's patented technologies are even ahead of the United States."

"But the urine test in the Olympic Games is not for everyone." Eriksson seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he continued: "The Olympic Games only conduct urine tests for athletes who have won medals. Obviously, this Chinese is not yet qualified. .He is likely to stop in the semi-finals. And a yellow man, even if he uses some special methods, it is impossible to win a medal."

"Really?" Edwards smiled slightly. Instead of arguing with the stubborn old man, he said, "Then let's wait and see!"
