Chapter five hundred and fiftieth almost thunder

The Olympic torch has to be extinguished several times during each relay, but that is the part of the fire transmission after all. If it is extinguished, it can be relit with a spare kindling.

But since the Olympic Games were held, the flame on the cauldron has never been extinguished?

Now everyone was dumbfounded. Although many countries did not take the "peace" symbolized by the Olympics seriously, if the ever-extinguishing Olympic flame was really extinguished, it would not be something that could be ignored.

Little things.

However, the vision was more than that simple. As the holy fire suddenly went out, the originally starry sky suddenly lost all starlight.

If it hadn't been dark, people would have been able to see the sky that was still clear at dusk, but now it was covered with dark clouds.

At this moment, Americans became the most embarrassing focus. Everyone couldn't help but look at Joiner who was frozen on the spot. Who made the time for the flame to be extinguished so targeted? Not only did it happen to be in this "controversial"

"In the women's 200m final, it happened to be when Joyner won the championship.

American reporters are all scolding in their hearts, what is the difference between doing this and Feishuang in June? It would be more intuitive to just let Zeus send down the divine punishment!

Zhang Ninzhen also got a lot of shots at this time. She saw this Chinese genius who also broke the previous world record but could only be ranked second. Not to mention congratulating her, she didn't even glance at Joyner's movements.

At this moment, many Western commentators were hesitant to speak. They wanted to say: If problems were detected after this game, would it be possible for Zhang Nian to win another replacement gold medal at this Olympics?

?

It is not uncommon for Olympic champions to have their gold medals canceled due to problems detected afterwards, but it is absolutely rare in the world to have so many gold medals canceled before the event is over.

Of course, it’s hard to say such straightforward words. What’s the difference between saying this and directly questioning Joyner’s doping?

Although Joyner is a black man, he at least comes from a well-established liberal family. It is much better than letting the Chinese win the gold medal. Therefore, most Western media and people hope that this gold medal will never be given again.

Problem.

But when they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the suddenly extinguished sacred fire. To be honest, this situation was already a bit clear. To be more explicit, Zeus would have to come in person to confiscate Joyner's gold medal.

Therefore, the American commentators have been silent for a long time. They don't know how to defend Joyner. In the end, they feel that it is better not to say anything in this situation. Of course, they are also a little afraid of being reincarnated by Zeus with a bolt of lightning after they forcibly redeem themselves!

In the end, the person who finally diverted everyone's attention and temporarily let all the United States breathe a sigh of relief was Gong Xiaoya, who appeared on the stage with a bouncing look as if his heels were unable to touch the ground.

The last final that the Chinese delegation participated in today was Gong Xiaoya's "Men's 110-meter Hurdles" final.

The competition that Americans least want to watch in the past few days must be the "men's 110-meter hurdles" event, because Gong Xiaoya is too strong in the events he participates in, and the advantages shown in the two long jump events are no less than that of Shen Lang in swimming.

Such a dominant talent makes the American media and audiences very pessimistic about the "110-meter hurdles" event. Even though they also have a world-famous Kim Dom in this event, the two American athletes in the long jump event are heavier than him.

Heavier, but even so, he was still beaten by Gong Xiaoya in various ways!

But this time, Gong Xiaoya suddenly became more popular in the eyes of the Americans. They must quickly use this topical player to turn the page on the previous page.

However, God, or Zeus, wanted to make things difficult for the Americans. As the awards for the "Women's 200m" ended, Joyner left with an embarrassed look on his face. After checking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The cauldron actually resumed operation and was easily ignited by the backup fire. There seemed to be no signs of another accident.

But this is not the most embarrassing thing. The night sky that was covered with dark clouds and was about to storm suddenly suddenly seemed to have cleared away. The stars in the sky suddenly became brighter and shone brightly in the night sky again.

This made the American reporters at the scene extremely embarrassed, and they did not even dare to look at their colleagues nearby, because those guys were looking at them with mocking expressions.

At this moment, people all over the United States couldn't help but complain in their hearts: Isn't this too targeted? There can't really be gods in this world, right? But we are Christians! Even if there are, we don't have to be afraid of the gods in Greek mythology, right?

This kind of random thinking didn't happen until eight players were standing on the field about to start, and the Americans finally set their sights on the second seed, the American player Kim Dom, and then couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh again!

Jindom himself was a little downcast. Gong Xiaoya had run the best results in recent years in the preliminaries and semi-finals, but he obviously did not perform at his best. Thinking of this, his and the American audience's self-confidence was at an unprecedented low.

But they didn't know that Gong Xiaoya was so high-profile in the "110-meter hurdles". Whenever he had the opportunity, he would release the news to the outside world that his strongest event was the "110-meter hurdles" and not the two long jumps. In fact, it was largely done.

The main purpose of psychological tactics is to put pressure on Jindom.

In fact, he is not completely sure of defeating Jindom now, because this guy ran a historic time of 12.98 seconds in the original finals.

If there are no changes in history, then based on his current level, which has not yet reached his peak, the winning rate between the two is actually 50-50.

Gong Xiaoya's current limit is around 12.95 seconds, but this limit cannot be exceeded every time. If there is a slight deviation, he may not be able to run within 13 seconds.

Therefore, the safest strategy is to keep putting pressure on Jin Domu. It is also difficult for Jin Domu to achieve a time like 12.98 seconds. After all, Liu Xiang’s best result twenty years later was 12.87 seconds, but there are also half of them.

None of the competition champions entered within 13 seconds.

Today's Jin Domu was obviously influenced by Gong Xiaoya, including the almost supernatural incident just now, which also greatly disturbed the American players.

At this moment, Jin Domu also felt a little guilty. Although he did not use any explicitly prohibited drugs, he did use some controversial drugs that were not yet included in the list of banned drugs.

This is also an unspoken rule in sports in Western developed countries. Some controversial new drugs usually have a controversial period of three to five years. During this period, major competition organizations will not include them on the banned drug list for the time being. Therefore, many Western countries

Many players are rushing to take such drugs during the window period, and players from third countries will gradually follow suit.

But just when such drugs become a tacit and unspoken rule, major monitoring organizations will suddenly include them on the list of banned drugs. Coincidentally, most Western players, led by the United States, will do so during this period.

Stop taking such medications suddenly.

However, the social family players headed by the Soviet Union, as well as some players from third-party countries who did not take sides, would still foolishly take outdated products. The result was naturally sanctioned by Western public opinion from the moral high ground with the spear of justice.

The cleanness of Kingdom and Lewis means that they are not as excessive as Joyner, but if they say that their bodies and souls are pure and flawless, without any stain at all, then I am afraid that even they themselves cannot believe it.

Now that the influences from all aspects are combined, it would be difficult for Jindom to run to the extreme level again. What's more, the "110-meter hurdles" places too much emphasis on technique and rhythm, and it involves the whole body with just one move. As for any athlete,

If you make a mistake in the hurdles, or even just do it imperfectly, the chain reaction caused in the end is enough to make it difficult for a historical player like Liu Xiang to run under 13 seconds.

So after the starting gun sounded, when Kim Dom's starting reaction was relatively average, his probability of running within 13 seconds today was instantly lower than 30%.

But his biggest interference at this time still came from Gong Xiaoya. The latter's seven-step hurdles were a very strong interference for this era, even for the top players of Liu Xiang's era, especially Jin Domu.

Next to Gong Xiaoya, this kind of interference was particularly strong.

As a top player in history, Jin Domu will naturally not be disturbed by Gong Xiaoya and completely lose his rhythm.

If he can take the lead at the start, he may not even be affected.

But the problem is that Gong Xiaoya has been the absolute leader from the very beginning. Especially when crossing the first hurdle, his technique is obviously different from everyone else's. His starting position is too far away. This is really something only long jumpers dare to do.

The position where the force takes off.

The most direct opponent of his jump was Jindom and Campbell on both sides. The two opponents who were the greatest threat to him were both affected to varying degrees. One was almost brought to the obstacle barrier when passing the hurdle, and the other was directly

Knocked down the first bar.

This kind of mistakes and imperfections instantly reduced their probability of winning the championship to less than 1%, because the "110-meter hurdles" competition is like this. If there is a problem in the first hurdle, it will be difficult to adjust later. You can say one step

Wrong, it won't get better every step of the way.

Therefore, when Gong Xiaoya successfully crosses every obstacle with the super long strides of 3-3-4, 3-3-4, 3-3-4-3, he can almost create an advantage visible to the naked eye of the audience.

In the end, when he successfully crossed all ten obstacle hurdles and started sprinting, he was already five or six lengths ahead of the second-place finisher.

"12 seconds 94! 12 seconds 94! New Olympic record!"

"The amazing Chinese, he is more like jumping over hurdles than over hurdles, but his amazing jumping ability and perfect technical control make him invincible in the competition, defeating almost all opponents with ease!"

"It's great... no, I mean it's such a pity. Gong has set a new Olympic record, but it is still a small step away from Nehemiah's 12.93 seconds, and this may be the step that limits the limits of mankind.

"

"..."

The Americans were both miserable and lucky at this time. After being widened in the first few hurdles, Kim Dom basically lost the possibility of winning the championship.

So from that moment on, audiences across the United States could only pray that Gong Xiaoya would not break Nehemiah's record. This was their last fig leaf.

In the end, I don't know which god heard this prayer. Gong Xiaoya's "12 seconds and 94 seconds" was just 0.01 seconds away from the world record. In the end, he still failed to break the double record.

But everyone knows that this kind of happiness will not last long, because when thinking about Gong Xiaoya's age, everyone knows that it will only be a matter of time before he breaks this record.
