Chapter 857 Waterloo in the United States! The Olympic Games has never been a simple medal battle
Bolt's "magic walk" has gradually spread in the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games is a huge platform. Because the audience is huge, many people who don't usually watch sports will now watch it because of the Olympics. This is why Bolt can become famous quickly.
The rematch continues, and after Bolt's magical performance, the remaining shots also continue.
Hu Kai is in the second group, this group is too strong, Brian Zingay, Walter Dix, Christopher Williams, Christian Malcolm, Stephen Buckland, plus Hu Kai
Myself, the whole group...
6 people all started at 20.40s and ran to 20.30.
You have to know that even in Bolt's group, Crawford, who was second, only finished in 20.42s.
How strong this strength is, you can weigh it yourself.
Hu Kai doesn't want to run so fast in the semi-finals. After all, he is the only one in the country who can reach the semi-finals. Although the finals are almost hopeless, being able to enter the semi-finals is also a big step in the history of the flower gardener's Olympic Games.
.
But unfortunately, this group is too complicated. Su Shen estimates that all three Xiao Q will appear in this group.
The semi-finals are now divided into two groups, with a total of sixteen people.
Even if Su Shen reminds Hu Kai, it can't be too slow, otherwise Xiao Q may not be able to save it.
As for Hu Kai's strength, the limit is actually around 20.20. Running to 20.30 is already a considerable burden. But what is helpless is that this result, which can safely surpass the second place in China, is placed in the Olympics.
superior……
But it is very likely that they will not be able to break out of the semi-finals.
This is too difficult.
He also needs Su Shen to give him some advice to be able to keep a small Q.
The final results of this group were Brian Zingay 20.23s, Walter Dix 20.27s, Christopher Williams 20.28s, Christian Malcolm 20.30s, Stephen Buckland 20.37s, and Hu Kai 20.37
s, Roman Smirnov 20.62s, Madik Osovnikal 20.93s.
There were three players in a group who opened 20.30s, 4 were 20.30s or above, and six were 20.30. To be honest, Hu Kai felt that it was too difficult for him. This was what Su Shen told him, and he had to keep opening 20.40.
The opportunity guarantees a small q.
If there is no clear target, who knows if I will try my best with this shot.
Too curly.
"Congratulations to Chinese sprinter Hu Kai for reaching the men's 200m semi-finals in history!"
This passage also started to be played at the scene, cheering for Hu Kai to achieve breakthrough results.
Seeing Hu Kai reach the 200m semi-finals, Yuan Guoqiang was also in a good mood. He didn't have any demands for the 200m, but now he really made a profit by entering.
"Congratulations, Brother Kai, for your historic breakthrough."
When Hu Kai came down, everyone gathered around him to cheer him on. This atmosphere was truly unprecedented.
It's so comfortable and makes people feel good.
"No, no, no, Xiao Tian told me, I guess this shot will directly empty the mailbox."
"Brother Kai, what are you talking about? Your own strength is here. If you don't have the strength to run to 20.37s, it's useless even if I talk about it." Su Shen smiled and came over to congratulate Hu Kai and said.
: "Brother Kai, your own efforts account for the overwhelming majority."
Build up self-confidence for everyone.
Watching this golden generation grow, surpass, and make breakthroughs step by step.
For Su Shen, who has devoted his whole life to the track and field career of the flower grower, this is enough satisfaction.
After all, this was a scene he could only imagine in his dreams.
Now that it can be realized, he is already very "grateful".
After Hu Kai's shot, Zhang Peimeng, like Zhou Bing, could not withstand the rematch. The difficulty of the rematch was significantly improved compared to the preliminaries. In addition, Zhang Peimeng had a blast in the preliminaries, ranking first.
The first time he ran was 20.54 seconds, which made his consumption very high.
It's probably impossible to get two good shots in one day.
Even if Zhang Peimeng ran a wave of 20.66s, it would not help, because his physical condition was obviously completely exhausted in the first shot. Of course, the last shot also made his domestic 200m PB surpassed again
Zhou Bing has one head.
Became the second person in the country in the 200 meters.
Kicked Zhou Bing hard.
After Zhang Peimeng finished the race in 20.66s, the first place in the group was Brendan Christian in 20.26s, the second place in the group was Auland Martina in 20.42s, and the third place in the group was Christoph Baynes, a Polish player in 20.50s.
Max ranked fourth in 20.58s, Aaron Armstrong ranked fifth in 20.58s, Joseph Obinna Metu ranked sixth in 20.65s, Zhang Peimeng ranked seventh in 20.66s, Sandro Ricca
Do Rodriguez Viana was eighth.
This is the Olympic level, there is nothing you can do about it.
20.66s has been the absolute top 3A result in China in recent years, but here.
It's just a rematch.
Just the rematch.
The key is the rematch. I'm not in the front yet, I'm in the back, second to last.
He almost competed with Sandro Ricardo Rodriguez Viana for the top spot in the group.
But Zhang Peimeng also tried his best. He is currently the one who came in with the A mark, and beating the first round is the limit. Not to mention that he ran so hard in the first shot. If he wants to use his limit with two shots in a row, that is not possible.
possible things.
The score of 20.66s was normal, and Zhang Peimeng had nothing to feel sad about.
Because he knows that his current performance and strength are just like this.
It was so difficult for Hu Kai to reach the semi-finals, so he didn't think he could be lucky enough to squeeze in.
It is enough to be able to achieve this level.
This first OW individual competition is mainly about accumulating experience. It would be good to be able to enter. Even if he is as strong as the current "walking maniac" Usain Bolt, when he first participated in the Olympics, wasn't it?
Did it get a serious repair?
As long as you can get stimulation, promotion and experience in this Olympic Games, it will be worth it.
Obviously, Zhang Peimeng’s trip to the Olympics was definitely not in vain. His trip to the Olympics was definitely an ideal trip.
In the women's group, Chen Juan was not able to squeeze into the semi-finals. She was a little bit close to getting in, but unfortunately she was turned away in the end.
Chen Juan's 100-meter run was too hard, which actually had some impact on her physical condition. Being able to run like this, the 200-meter run is already good. Otherwise, with the relay, I don't know how many shots she would have to run.
Being able to run like Bolt and run eight rounds in the OOW competition is not something ordinary people can do.
All in all, this physical burden is too great, especially since you still need to work hard ahead of time, which further increases the physical burden.
But now, apart from Chen Juan, there is no girl who can step up. Wei Yongli still needs to practice for this competition, so Chen Juan needs to step up. Fortunately, Chen Juan is still young now, so if she steps up once, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Anyway, the little girl is also a person who has feelings for her family and country, so she will not refuse this opportunity.
He will even take the initiative to ask for a fight.
In the evening, the Olympic Games report program will be played on the TV.
In the past ten days, China will definitely be bombarded by the Olympic Games.
When you turn on the TV, it shows the Olympic Games, which is really normal.
"Bolt may be only 20 seconds away from greatness at most. The 100-meter world record holder will most likely become another man to win all the Olympics in the same Olympics after Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens.
100m and 200m champion hero."
"The main opponents of the Jamaicans in the final will be the defending champion American Crawford and his compatriot Spearman. After losing the 100-meter championship, the Americans will definitely fight to regain the 200-meter championship to defend themselves in the final.
The dignity of supremacy in men’s sprinting.”
"Winning both the 100 and 200 meters is the most coveted achievement not just at the Olympics, but across the sporting world. While many of the best sprinters have attempted it in previous competitions, only a few have succeeded.
In Los Angeles 24 years ago, Carl Lewis was the last athlete to win two championships. Other athletes who achieved double wins include former Soviet athlete Valery Baltsov (1972) and American athlete Bobby Morrow
(1956), Jesse Owens (1936), Eddie Toland (1932), Maple Leaf athlete Percy Williams (1928), and American athlete Rafe Craig (1912)
year) and Archie Hahn (1904)."
"The United States is the country that has won the most honors. If the Jamaican trapeze man can do it, he will be the ninth track and field athlete in history to do it. He will also be the first in the history of Jamaica to win the men's 100 meters.
and a Grand Slam gold medalist in the 200 meters.”
The promotion of Bolt is carried out as usual every night.
Because Bolt is really the biggest superstar in this Olympics.
none of them.
Mainly because sprinting is the central event of the Olympic Games, and he won the championship with super results and super finishing moves.
Naturally, the degree of being remembered by the public quickly accumulated to a very high level.
"Chinese player Hu Kai successfully broke through the semifinals and entered the semifinals with a time of 20.37s. Because of this shot, he became the first 200m athlete to advance to the semifinals in the history of flower growers."
I don’t know if the sprint event has been criticized in the North Olympics. Both men and women have made their voices heard in major events. For example, in today’s women’s 100-meter sprint, the most popular candidate to win the championship is Jones of the American team.
She was actually in the lead when her foot touched the barrier and lost her balance. In short-distance racing events, such a mistake meant that she fell directly from first to last.
If it weren't for Jones's strength, she would be in last place, but she wouldn't run away.
Outside the finish line, Jones knelt on the track in despair, leaned over and buried her head in her arms. She stayed there quietly, feeling lonely and sad for several minutes.
If you want to know why she was so dumb, it was because before the game, he also issued his own declaration of winning the championship, claiming that he would definitely win the gold medal. Then... he encountered such a big "Waterloo".
How do you say something?
correct.
It's better to take it easy as a human being.
Although she was miserable, combined with her arrogant talk before the game, this loss caused the public's sympathy for her to drop significantly.
Nothing to be pitiful about.
Not to mention that there must be something hateful about poor people.
Just talking about athletes, if you pretend to be too cool, you will have to bear the pressure and dangers that will come from pretending to be that cool.
It is always a double-edged sword, and it is impossible for you to take all the benefits by yourself.
The U.S. track and field team was unlucky today, not just because of this. They were also determined to win the 400 meters. Richards was far ahead in the women's 400 meters final from the beginning until the last 80 meters. Richards was at the finish line
As he watched, he suddenly... suddenly slowed down significantly and was quickly overtaken by two opponents.
This makes the American track and field team look stupid. They were leading all the way, but then you told me that they were going to win the gold medal in the end, and you suddenly "let go"?
With doubts, American female flying star Sonya Richards soon gave her own answer:
"I always thought that the gold medal was mine," Richards said after the game. "After running through the corner, I was already elated because I knew I was in sight of victory. But the cramp suddenly hit me at that moment, and
I am helpless."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes.
Because her legs were cramped, so she was unlucky.
Finally, the gold medal was handed over to others.
You can imagine that, as the super overlord of track and field in all previous Olympic Games, the American American track and field team did not win a single gold medal from this major event for several days after the track and field competition began.
This was absolutely impossible before.
But unfortunately, that's the case this year.
There are a lot of opinions about this matter in the United States. As a major gold medalist in track and field, the United States did not win a single gold medal in this track and field competition. The American track and field team was almost charged by the angry American people.
Look at the newspapers in the United States these days, they all say - day one, day two, day three, day four... When will we get a gold medal in track and field?
Some of them also had sharp words, and they started off by saying - This is definitely the worst America's track and field team I have ever seen!
The thing that made the U.S. team feel that they had been waiting so hard and finally got a blessing from the goddess of luck was the women's discus.
Yes, the women's discus throw, which has always been dominated by Eastern European athletes, finally broke the embarrassing embarrassment of 0 gold medals in track and field events for the American track and field team. And this gold medal that no one was optimistic about before the game also made the arrogant Americans suddenly
ecstatic.
It even directly promoted Trafton's "American Heroine Dream".
The Washington Post put it this way - "Yes, women's discus, don't be surprised."
Los Angeles Times——In the end, it was this surprising miracle that saved the American track and field team from a desperate situation. Trafton used a long-lost women’s discus gold medal to help the American track and field team get out of the gold medal bottleneck.
, dispelling the suffocating doubts.
These titles are enough to show that the American team may not have thought about this gold medal. After all, Americans have never touched the gold medal since this project began in 1936. This time, it is definitely an unexpected surprise.
But you also have to think about it. If the U.S. track and field team had not suffered a collective "Waterloo" at the North Olympics this time, even if Trafton won the gold medal, it would not have been so popular among the people.
This can only be said to be based on "peers' support".
Trafton enjoyed the praise of the whole nation for nothing.
The Associated Press even issued an article: Many people thought that after entering the track and field competition, the powerful American track and field team would catch up with the host country in the gold medal. However, the fact is exactly the opposite. After the Olympic competition entered the last week, the American representative
The group is struggling.
AFP - "The United States is losing its dominance in track and field."
Reuters - "Americans have always been like fishing for fish with a net when winning gold medals in track and field, but this time in Beijing they found that their male targets had all turned into whales."
The domestic side has also begun to peel back the cocoon and take a closer look at the rise of Jamaica's flying star. The person being interviewed is none other than a member of the "Su Shen Family", Da Liuyang.
Da Liuyang is now among the first batch of people who, in addition to further studies on Ersha Island, have begun to take the initiative to promote advanced track and field theories at the grassroots level.
Thanks to some knowledge imparted by Su Shen, he now knows more about these histories than most of the old coaches from traditional departments in the country. Su Shen told him that if he wants to do a good job in sports in a country, he only needs to rely on experience and
Technology, that's not enough.
The policies of the entire country are also very important.
He gave the example of Jamaica, which made Da Liuyang's eyes light up.
Now he is taking advantage of the opportunity of the Olympics, when everyone is paying attention to track and field, to start instilling these things into the public.
"Why is Jamaica so rich in trapeze artists? In fact, both technology and experience, as well as their policies, also play a big role."
"Jamaican athletes who have made great achievements in sports will have better rewards. In 1911, Norman Manley achieved excellent results and was selected to participate in the 1912 Olympic Games. Although he failed to set the first 100-meter world record, he was the first
A Jamaican sportsman who received a scholarship to study at Oxford University, the Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica is named after him."
"The European and American countries began to poach Jamaican sprinters, using generous scholarships to attract the best to university, or engaging in 'track and field immigration.' Jamaica adopted the same policy to counterattack. In the 1970s, the knowledgeable people in Jamaica
For the sake of the country's sports tradition and the growth of talents, the athletes decided that all athletes who stay in Jamaica for training will receive the same treatment as those who immigrate to European and American countries. They will be guaranteed university scholarships and exchange opportunities in European and American countries, and will receive unexpected benefits.
An unexpected national honor. After this policy of cherishing talents for 30 years, the world's sprint has slowly entered the current era of Jamaica."
"Our country is now slowly starting to keep up with the construction in this area, and the protection for athletes is getting better and better. I hope that our track and field team can achieve new breakthroughs in the future."
Omi's track and field culture is a "track and field immigrant culture", but Jamaica happens to be a "track and field native culture" just like the country.
Which of these two is better or worse? The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
Anyway, from Su Shen's point of view, we still hope that our compatriots and compatriots will overcome difficulties, make progress step by step, and finally break the limit and stand on the podium. Rather than simply engaging in "track and field immigration", this kind of thing
The naturalization policy will be tried in the sports field in some countries in the future, but unfortunately... it will not be of any use.
Coupled with such "localized training", it can also improve the overall national self-confidence and self-esteem.
This kind of additional added value is definitely not comparable to a simple "naturalization gold medal".
Sports is an evolved form of national warfare in peacetime.
In particular, the Olympic Games, a model that does not completely turn into a commercial alliance and is more competitive than commercial, requires even more consideration of the final national gains and losses.
For example, Su Shen's 100-meter breakthrough is definitely not as simple as a medal.
What he brings is definitely something deeper.
A 9.83s. From then on, how many young people and how many Chinese people dared to pat their chests and say, we can also run.
We are no worse than anyone else.
Even outside of West African ancestry, we are the fastest race.
Do you think a planning medal can bring these things to people?
When Su Shen saw this, he knew that during this Olympic Games, his five-year plan had begun to explode completely.
The next ten years are really worth looking forward to.
