Almighty Coach

Sean Ford won the men's 200m, the fifth gold medal for USA Track and Field on the day.

The US track and field team had previously won four gold medals in a single day on the fifth day of the competition. Today, the US track and field team has also reached a new level.

And this is the 18th gold medal won by the US track and field team in this Olympic Games. This achievement has broken the number of track and field gold medals won by the United States in the Olympic Games.

In the 1980s and 1990s, when track and field sports exploded, it was also the time when the US team had the best track and field performance.

In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, due to the boycott of the Soviet camp, a total of 19 countries and regions did not participate in the Olympic Games, including track and field powerhouses such as the Soviet Union and the Democratic Republic of Germany. And this also made the US team the only one in the Olympic Games. In addition, the US team played at home. In the end, the US team won 16 gold medals in track and field events.

In the subsequent 1988 Seoul Olympics, with the participation of the Soviet camp, the number of gold medals for the US team also decreased, but in track and field events, the United States still won 13 gold medals each.

USA Track and Field won 12 golds at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and 13 golds at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In the subsequent Olympic Games, the number of gold medals of the US team also hovered around 10 golds.

In this Olympics, the track and field competition has not yet ended. The United States has won 18 gold medals in track and field, surpassing the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and setting the best record in the history of the US team.

On this night, the busiest person was Frey, the chief operating officer of the USA Athletics Association. He kept calling the major media, and promised one after another advertising sponsorship. The spirit is always in a state of excitement.

The next morning, a headline appeared on the front page of major domestic media in the United States: The strongest American track and field team in history is born!

With 18 gold medals, it has broken the best performance of the US track and field team in the history of the Olympic Games, and it can indeed be called the strongest in history. But before the Olympics, everyone was not optimistic about this US track and field team, and even most of the media called it the weakest US team in history.

In eight match days, from the weakest to the strongest, the US team has completed a big counterattack.

The adverse effects of the doping scandal not long ago have also been diluted at this moment. Ordinary people are forgetful. Facing the good results achieved by the US team in the Olympics, who would still be entangled in the stains of the past.

With the US team's counterattack, as the head coach, Dai Li also came into people's attention.

When Dai Li took office as the head coach of the U.S. team, it was controversial. As a non-American coach, no one was optimistic about Li Dai at that time. However, Dai Li created the strongest American team in history, and everyone's attitude towards Dai Li took a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Those voices who questioned and criticized Dai Li had long since disappeared, replaced by all kinds of compliments, as if they were going to make Dai Li the number one track and field coach in the world.

As Li Dai said, in front of a gold medal, no nationality or race is important, the brilliance of honor will cover everything else.

The so-called success or failure is a hero, and this is especially true in competitive sports. Those who can win are heroes in people's eyes. As for sportsmanship, it is just a step for the loser to give himself.

Although every Olympic Games will shout the Olympic spirit of unity and friendship, and although people often say "friendship first, competition second" when participating in competitions, no athlete participates in competitions to enhance friendship with their opponents. If it is really for the purpose of enhancing friendship, find a restaurant to have a meal, or find a bar to have a drink together, the effect is definitely much better than two people having a pin-to-head match.

James is a very famous sports commentator, and many sports media will ask him to write, or simply give him a fee to reprint his comments.

At this time, James was sitting in front of the computer, watching the morning games of the Olympic Games.

The phone rang, and James looked at the caller ID. The caller was the editor-in-chief of a sports magazine. This is a well-selling sports magazine in the United States, and it is also a major partner of James. This magazine often asks James for drafts.

Facing the God of Wealth who gave him a job, James didn't dare to carry anything. He pressed the mute of the TV, and then picked up the phone.

"Mr. Julian, I'm James, I'm glad to hear your voice." James said.

"James, do you have time today? We need a manuscript, and we need it today." Julian, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, said.

Hearing someone asking for a manuscript, which means that money is coming to your door, James suddenly became energetic, and he immediately said: "Mr. Julian, of course I have time. If you need it, I can give you all of my time today." .What kind of manuscript do you need?"

"The head coach of the U.S. track and field team, the Chinese Dai Li, I want a manuscript about him." Julian replied.

"It's that Chinese coach again, I wrote about him before, is it still the same as the previous ones?" James asked immediately.

A month ago, James had published several articles to question Li Dai, including questioning Li Dai's coaching ability, questioning Li Dai's selection criteria for athletes, etc. At that time, he also gave a conclusion that the US team was in the position of Li Dai. Under the leadership of the leader, it has been completely "cool". Two of the articles were published in this sports magazine.

But this time, James obviously misunderstood, and only heard Julian say: "Mr. James, didn't you pay attention to the news this morning? This year's US track and field team has been called the strongest in history." The U.S. team has won 18 Olympic gold medals. Our track and field team has won 18 Olympic gold medals, and this number will continue to increase. A coach whose team keeps winning!"

"Well, Mr. Julian, what do you mean?" James asked eagerly.

"Of course it is to sing praises! To praise him is to praise a person. This should not trouble you." Julian said.

"But a month ago, I just questioned that Chinese coach, and it was published in your magazine." James said weakly.

"So what? From time to time, as a magazine, we always want to say what readers like to hear most. A month ago, readers wanted to hear questions, so we questioned them. But now, what readers want to hear It's good news, it's news of victory, and what they want to see is a winner, so we're going to praise the winner." Julian changed his voice, and then said: "Mr. James, you have to understand, the only way to publish some Only the news that readers want to see can sell our magazine, and only when our magazine is sold can we get money to ask you for a manuscript."

"I understand." James reluctantly agreed.

As a professional sports commentator, James still hopes to give his professional judgment without interference, instead of acting like a clown. But in the face of reality, he can only compromise again.

"Let me praise people, right? Let me sing praises, right? Well, no problem, I will definitely praise that Chinese coach as the number one in the world!"

James turned on the computer in a feeling of frustration, thought for a while, and finally typed such a title:

He saved USA Track \u0026 Field!
