Chapter 1902: Growth ends here, you make your own choice
London Bowl Live.
Blake crossed the finish line first.
"Blake and Bolt are neck and neck!"
"Xie Zhenye has hope, he is still in third place!"
"Will Blake win?"
"Can Xie Zhenye do it?"
Under the roar of Yang Jian and Li Tao, Bolt and Blake crossed the finish line first, followed only by Xie Zhenye and Jamaican player Warren Will.
Even though Spearmon's speed has been added up in the end, the gap between him and the two in the front is too big. Even the speed in the back still has strong personal characteristics, but it has lost its previous magic.
Of course, judging from his performance, he must be better than LeMaitrie.
The results given by Lematri were truly disastrous.
I don’t know what French track and field fans think of this game.
It was clearly promised that I would give up the 100 meters and accumulate energy for the 200 meters.
This is the result???
French track and field fans felt like their hearts were broken. They had waited so long for nothing. They thought they could get a medal, but in the end, let alone medals, they couldn't even get into the top four.
Lematri himself was speechless. Who knew he had consumed so much energy in the semifinals.
The Olympic Games are really becoming more and more difficult to compete with these days.
In fact, he does not have the ability to produce a strong force within 20 seconds for two consecutive days. You can know this by watching all of Lemaitrie's games - he has never been an athlete with a particularly strong double-gun ability.
Not to mention 200 meters.
Of course, he is not the worst offender.
It was Dix who was supposed to have the strongest ability to win medals. But he also put pressure on Bolt continuously in the preliminaries and semi-finals, and some did not control his body well...
He has laid hidden dangers for himself.
The Jamaican running method is very taxing on the body.
At this point, Dix obviously hasn't really understood the best fit between the Jamaican running style and his physical strength.
The moment the first few people crossed the finish line.
The whole place exploded.
In the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Station, Yang Jian also announced loudly——
"A new Olympic record is born!"
"Blake! In the end, Blake won the championship!"
"Who would have thought that Bolt, the biggest favorite before the competition, lost his Olympic championship and his Olympic record in both the 100 meters and 200 meters!!!"
"19.26!"
"It surpassed Bolt's record of 19.28 seconds at the Bird's Nest in 2008! After Bolt established his dominance in both the Bird's Nest and Berlin, who would have thought that London would suddenly collapse in 2012!"
"Blake's perfect back-end ability forced him to overtake Bolt. I think at this moment, the 200-meter Bolt area should be rewritten. Starting from 2012, the 200-meter straight area should be renamed Blake
Defeat the territory!”
"Bolt is the god of corners, but Blake is announcing here and to the world that he is the new god of the 200-meter straight!"
"He was roaring, and we could all see how excited he was. He hammered his chest angrily, as if to tell everyone that Bolt is not invincible! The record set by Bolt is not indestructible!"
"Blake is draped in the Jamaican flag! This moment is a little different from what we expected before the game. It does not belong to Bolt. There is no Bolt in London!!!"
Good thing there is no Usain Bolt in London.
This statement will probably be used as a joke for a long time. Bolt saw that his results were lagging behind Blake,
Although he also broke the 19.28 seconds he set in 2008, he also achieved a good result of 19.27 seconds, but it was still 0.01 seconds slower than Blake's time.
In the field of sprinting.
0.01 seconds slower.
That is much slower.
That's the difference between champions and non-champions.
This is the difference between Olympic record holders and non-Olympic record holders.
Bolt seems to have forgotten how to breathe.
He looked at Blake, who was roaring and hammering the ground in front of him, and being surrounded by countless reporters to receive praise and cheers.
For a moment, the feeling in my heart was simply indescribable.
This is what happens in track and field.
Winner takes all.
The loser eats the dust.
No one came around to surround Bolt, no one handed him the national flag, no one even came around to interview him.
A huge sense of gap.
It reminded Bolt of the 100m final a few days ago.
He suddenly felt that his entire vision became unreal.
London.
Although Bolt didn't want to come to compete because he paid too much tax in London before, and he didn't have much prejudice against the city of London, but now...
He must be very deep in his heart and dislike this city.
Here he lost one of his most distinguished titles.
Yes, if you watch track and field competitions, if you pay a little attention to the field of track and field, you will know that apart from the supreme world record, Olympic records are actually the most valuable.
This represents the intensity of your performance. Can you perform at your own level in competitions?
Many people even say that the Olympic record may be worse than the world record, but if the Olympic record is combined with the Olympic gold medal...then the gold content of the latter will definitely be greater than a single world record.
As for the World Championships.
This is not comparable to the Olympics.
Never can.
Bolt lost the 100m and 200m gold medals in London, and lost his status as the Olympic record holder in the 100m and 200m. This was not only a blow to his personal honor, but also a blow to his personal vital interests.
Almost at the same time that Bolt lost the game, Bolt's agent Rich Sims received countless phone calls in an instant, and even the phone could not come in. His mobile phone text messages and emails were all in one place.
It instantly became 99.
The Irishman used to be a middle-distance runner. After retiring, he founded the PACE agency and signed about 50 track and field athletes. In 2003, he had his sights set on signing 16-year-old Usain Bolt.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So he has dealt with Bolt too many times in his life. Bolt is also the cash cow for his entire company, which has gone from being unknown to a well-known track and field agency.
and iconic figures.
But who would have thought.
Bolt would lose so miserably in London.
You have to know that for athletes, in addition to these traditional business contracts, there are also contracts with incentives and even gambling agreements. For example, some of Bolt's contracts clearly state that if he fails to win the Olympic Games
champion, how much money will he lose, and what percentage of sponsorship will be reduced by his partners and sponsors.
Some companies will even terminate their contracts directly.
Capital is so profit-seeking.
It doesn't matter what reasons you give to capital, he just looks at the final results.
Richie Sims felt his hands were shaking a little.
For the first time, he felt that the iPhone in his hand, which usually weighed nothing, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He found it difficult to even turn over and look at the screen.
During the interview, Blake didn't know whether it was intentional or not. After saying some superficial words, he immediately told all the media what he wanted most -
I am an Olympic champion.
I'm an Olympic record holder.
Please don’t call me Bolt’s junior brother again. I have my name. My name is Yohan Blake.
certainly.
His voice changed, and he was in a great mood after winning the championship and Olympic record, and said:
If you want to call Bolt Blake's senior brother, then I have no problem with that.
The scene immediately erupted into bursts of laughter.
This is respect and praise for the champion.
What did he say at this time?
That's all correct.
Bolt in London.
I really lost a lot.
Much more than he might have imagined.
In the stands, when Richie Sims was looking anxiously at his phone and didn't know where to start replying, four seats next to him, Mills stood up with his team.
"Are you going to comfort Usain? He actually ran very well this time, but he still didn't win the championship in the end. It's a pity."
"You should comfort him. He needs an important person to comfort him right now. You know, Bolt looks carefree, but in fact he is just a big boy, and he is not that strong in his heart."
Um?
Who knew that after Mills heard these words, the first sentence he opened his mouth made everyone confused.
"Who said I was going to comfort Usain?"
"Now we want to congratulate Yohan. He is the one who won the Olympic championship and a new Olympic record for us in Jamaica and for our runners club. If you don't congratulate the champion, what are you going to do to comfort the runner-up?"
ah?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded
Thinking that Mills has always taken care of Bolt, and even his partiality can be seen by the staff and team members, who would have known that on such a critical occasion, when Bolt needed comfort the most, Mills would be like this?
explain.
"But Usain..."
Before a team member next to him could say anything, Mills reached out and interrupted him: "If he is the winner, then he can be a big boy."
"But if he loses..."
At this time, Mills finally turned his head slightly and glanced at Bolt, who was somewhat alone in the field.
In the past few years, every time Bolt finishes a major race, he is always surrounded by various media, cheering, screaming, flattering and flattering him.
It seems like it hasn't been like this for a long time.
But Mills himself didn't feel how strange this scene was. Because before Bolt became famous, didn't he actually finish every race like this?
No one cares, no one cares, just like a nobody.
But this will inspire Bolt to be unwilling to give up again and again, and to rise up again and again, allowing him to put more focus and mental energy on the training field, rather than on the messy things off the field.
"But he's the loser."
"He has to learn to grow up."
"You can no longer be a big boy, but you must learn how to be a man."
After Mills finished speaking, there were a few people around him who still wanted to say more.
"but……"
"But what?"
"But wouldn't this be too cruel to Usain? After all, he has been praised in the sky before. I'm worried that such a contrast will make him..."
Mills's expression became a little serious, and he withdrew his eyes from Bolt, stared at these people and said:
"Don't forget it."
"Winner takes all in track and field. If he loses, he should accept this result. The same goes for everyone, including himself. If he doesn't want to accept this result, then he should win the game."
"Moreover."
"I feel like you don't even remember a thing."
"Yohan Blake is also my disciple."
"He is also a member of our Jamaican community and a member of our Runners Club."
"So from my perspective as a coach, there is no difference between him and Bolt in winning the gold medal. As long as the gold medal still belongs to Jamaica, the record still belongs to Jamaica, and it still belongs to our runners club."
Mills' words awakened everyone.
They indeed doted on Bolt too much some time ago.
I almost forgot about the usually introverted and silent Blake...
Also a member of the Jamaica Runners Club.
Look at it this way.
What has Bolt suffered now?
Blake seems to have suffered every day before this championship.
Isn't it?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no need to comfort Bolt so urgently.
Everyone gradually understood what Mills said.
But Mills didn't say a word.
As he walked down, he inadvertently glanced at Bolt again——
