Chapter 943: Awards

Facing the continuous camera flashes, Atletico slowly posed in circles, occasionally pointing upwards, ?anen??? .??

Such a flamboyant gesture is not Atletico Madrid, but it is deserved.

In the end, people are still social animals, influencing and being influenced by others all the time, and Atletico at this time is infected by the excited audience around them, and they can't help but be excited and happy. As for all the previous calculations, he was naturally thrown aside, and now he is just a runner enjoying victory.

Behind him, the electronic clock hanging on the color door at the finish line freezes 1:59:59, which is the source of his happiness. For the first time since the birth of the marathon, someone has run for two hours, so it's worth celebrating. Even if this achievement is not recognized by the IAAF in the end, at least it is true now, and it is natural to be happy about it, and it is strange to be unhappy.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for Atletico Madrid to start shaking and trembling, and the smile on his face was out of shape, but fortunately, holo1 with ink-colored lenses on the bridge of his nose was not captured by anyone to break the emoji.

Hurriedly on the physical status page, Atletico Madrid found that the lactic acid content in the body had exceeded the standard, and the pH, electrolytes and other indicators were not good-looking.

Before, the mental focus and the e7u assisted suppression, naturally did not feel abnormal, but now the mental relaxation limit is opened, and the muscles suddenly send a dense lactic acid warning, coupled with the electrolyte abnormality caused by a lot of sweating, Atletico at this time can be said to be sore limbs, uncomfortable, and feel unusually "sour".

Originally, relying on the superior lactate tolerance and metabolism, Atletico Madrid did not need to worry about the accumulation of lactic acid. This time, he pursued a better result, and accelerated the sprint at the last moment, although he got the legendary 159, but it also added the last straw to the body, and then he had the current dilemma.

Feeling uncomfortable and unwilling to celebrate, Atletico left the still empty finish of the track and shuffled towards the bathroom with heavy steps.

The lack of toilets around the course can be said to be an international practice in marathons, and there are often athletes who choose to solve the problem on the spot because they can't find the toilet and the law is not responsible, running to the "urine red wall" or watering the grove. Of course, it's usually the average player who does this, and a master like Atletico would rather drink less and eat less than stop in the middle of the game in order to maintain his rhythm and speed.

Because the second place was still a few kilometers away, the finish area was still very empty, and a whole row of mobile toilets was lit up with a green sign saying "Welcome". However, Atletico did not immediately enter the middle to release himself, and he was stopped by a group of people.

It wasn't the sports reporters who stood in his way, although they were crazy and excited and wanted to collect Atletico Madrid's memes, but at the moment they were stopped by the security guards from a distance, and they could only raise their long guns and short cannons to shoot first.

Atletico looked at the four people in front of him, one of them was Bai Zhongtong, a middle-level cadre of the organizing committee, but the other three were nervous.

Pay attention to their costumes, and then think about the time scene, but the identities of the three are obvious. Thinking of this, he shrugged his shoulders unsurprisingly and asked in a low voice, "Is this to check my stimulants?

Bai Zhongtong said with a smile: "You guessed it right, these people are all staff members of the National Anti-Doping Center, responsible for Luma's anti-doping work. I haven't encountered it before, it's actually your problem, who made you always hide and deliberately suppress your grades?"

As long as you participate in the competition, you can take the fifth place, and everyone has long known that there is a cat in it, and someone is sure to hide it. It's just that no one expected that Atletico Madrid would hide so deeply, and they actually hid their strength for three minutes, and they were really taken aback.

After the fright, Atletico Madrid brought Bai Zhongtong to them, but it was an unstoppable surprise and ecstasy.

Although the heron horse claims to be the gold standard event of road running, it has never been able to close the distance with the six major marathons, and there is no world record, and the million-dollar prize has been empty for 15 years and no one has come to pick it up, which is really frustrating. Fortunately, this is all over, and the two-hour run will certainly make Atletico Madrid famous in marathon history, and the heron horse as the birthplace of records can also be famous overseas.

Taking a step back, even if this result is not recognized, it cannot replace the Berlin-made 2:02:57 as the world record, and can only be called the best in the event, and it is enough to be proud of the North Malaysia, Shangma, Yang Ma and other domestic miscellaneous fish, which is also something to celebrate.

Originally, he was still three points worried, afraid that this sudden outbreak of results was actually the credit of doping, and everything was just a dream bubble. However, when he saw Atletico Madrid himself, he was immediately impressed by the latter's calm performance, and most of his entangled mood was dispelled, and he naturally spoke with a little smile.

"Lao Bai, you have wronged me," Atletico said with a smile: "I didn't deliberately suppress the results, I tried my best every time." ”

Without waiting for the other to comment, he turned to the three anti-doping officers and pointed to the toilet next to him, "Is it collecting here, or is it going somewhere else?"

"No, please come with us to the special lounge. ”

"Hmm!" Atletico shrugged in surprise and followed them to the waiting room.

Due to the large number of participants, the marathon will not be fully tested for doping, and the same is true for the heron horse. However, the waiting room and the inspection team are always equipped, and if there are athletes who have achieved good results in the world, they need to be invited to take samples for examination.

Following the staff, Atletico Madrid was also in a complicated mood, and secretly sighed that he had finally come to this point.

If you want to talk about doping, he really used it.

Atletico Madrid's original physique was not outstanding, and if there was no e7u's fine transformation and regulation of the body, let alone getting the heron horse ranking, it would be very difficult to even run the whole race. In addition to this kind of exercise, the means of artificial enhancement of physical ability naturally belong to the category of stimulants, but they are not within the scope of detection of current technology.

It is precisely because of this that Atletico finally decided to put down the festival and make a big news.

He is not a professional athlete, and he does not have much interest and demand for bonuses, gold medals, etc., what he pursues is actually the popularity increase brought by breaking the record, as well as the accompanying advertising effect. In this era of recognition of IP, these can also be transformed into benefits, and they are huge benefits. From just now to now, in just over ten minutes, several of his social accounts have ushered in a frenzy of fans, and tens of thousands of followers have increased wildly.

Thinking about walking, Atletico was taken to a room. The staff first handed him a form for him to register, then took out an unopened disposable sample cup for him to select and examine, and then asked him to go into the bathroom next door with the inspector.

Atletico need to fill the sample cup in front of the opponent, then return to the operation room with the opponent and pour the urine sample into the improvised AB bottle. Next, after several formal and strict formalities, both bottles were packed and sealed, and the inspection records filled out by Atletico were taken away by the staff, leaving Atletico only a copy of the record sheet.

"Whew, it's finally over, it's really troublesome!" Unable to wait to leave the waiting room, Atletico couldn't help but complain.

"It's really a bit troublesome," Bai Zhongtong echoed sympatheticly, "but there is no way, only in this way can we limit doping to the greatest extent and ensure clean sports." ”

Although he is confident that he will not be recognized, when he hears the slogan of this system, someone can't help but feel a little weak, and he immediately wants to change the topic.

However, before he could speak, the two of them were surrounded again. This time, it was our journalist friends who had been waiting for a long time in front of them.

"Atletico, can you have an interview?"

"Mr. Ma,......"

Looking left and right, Atletico had to nod helplessly, "The interview is no problem, but it won't work here, I'm going to find my masseur now." ”

Everyone said so, so the reporters naturally had no choice but to follow.

With the help of Bai Zhongtong, a staff member of the organizing committee, they quickly found an empty room, where Ma Jingshi Shiran sat on the ground, receiving massage from two professional masseurs, surrounded by a bunch of microphones handed over.

The first question was asked by Na Dong of the sports channel, "Mr. Ma, congratulations on breaking the world record." Do you have anything to say about today's results, and are you surprised?"

"There are naturally accidents, I thought that my grades would improve, but I didn't expect it to be like this. The main thing is that God gives face, the tailwind is big, the headwind is small, and the running is very comfortable. ”

Naturally, the performance of running races is affected by the direction of the environment, and some "outperforming" records may not even be internationally recognized. However, the wind was not very strong today, and this reason obviously did not convince Na Ridong and the others.

"Today's weather forecast says it's a light breeze and there's no sign of strong winds outside. The wind shouldn't have a big impact on the results, right?"

"The simple breeze naturally doesn't matter, and the little wind pressure is pitiful," Atletico nodded in agreement, and then changed the conversation, "but you only stay here at the finish line, how do you know that there is no wind around?"

Reaching out to take the tablet handed by the assistant, Atletico opened a software and showed it to everyone, "Why do I only participate in the Egret Horse, why can I run well in the Egret Horse? This is the answer!"

Nadong looked down, but saw a 3D model of Egret Island on the screen, and you can see obvious terrain undulations and landmark buildings, such as the International Exhibition Center where he and others are located. Compared with this, what attracted his attention more was the wisps of colored lines on the screen.

The colored lines are soft and meandering, and when they hit a building, they will bend, and when they collide together, they will merge, and it is easy to think of water and airflow, "Is this the wind?"

"That's right!" Atletico nodded in affirmation, "this is an urban wind simulation system jointly developed by our Bee Research Institute and the Municipal Meteorological Bureau. With sensors all over the roundabout, we can observe the larger airflow and adjust the pace plan based on the predictions, and finally send it here!"

Following the direction of Atletico Madrid's finger, the reporters saw a pair of black eyes, which were the holographic glasses he had never taken off.

A sharp-eyed person reacted and shouted, "Holo1, you're wearing hologlasses for the game?"

"Well!" Atletico admitted, "it's not just me, but my three bunnies, all of whom wear custom-made glasses. It allows us to see the wind direction and the latest pace plan, and then we just run as we go. ”

It can't be said that he is talented, Atletico Madrid has to attribute his achievements to technical equipment, his own holographic glasses, the outside city wind system, as well as specially prepared nutrition packages, energy gels, and customized professional running shoes, which have become the winning weapon of the competition in his mouth, and he has praised and praised him. Naturally, their effects are there, but they are not huge, and even if they can improve their performance, they are not to the point of improving them by a few minutes at once.

"Can I look at your glasses?" asked Na Hito again.

"No problem," Atletico said, taking off his glasses and handing them to the other party, "it will be more obvious to walk two steps with it." ”

The latter did as he was told, exiting the crowd and walking around the room. Although he was not on the track, the flashing steps that appeared on the lens screen still aroused his interest, and various data charts also gave him an unclear sense of profundity, so he had to sigh secretly, "Sure enough, in order to improve the performance, he actually made such a big investment!"

With excitement and reluctance on his face, he returned his glasses, and he couldn't help but ask: "Ma Dong, when will this kind of glasses be on the market?" ”

Seeing that he said it well, other reporters also turned their curious eyes to Atletico Madrid, staring at this pair of sunglasses with a sci-fi flavor.

Atletico handed his glasses to another reporter, "Since everyone is interested, let's pass it on and take a look." ”

Then he turned to the crowd: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, the glasses just help you better grasp the pace and route, and whether you can run down in the end depends on your physique, exercise, and most importantly, perseverance." ”

After a round in the crowd, the glasses returned to Atletico Madrid, and a new question came along with it, "Mr. Ma, there are too many high-tech elements in your results, is it unfair to other players?"

"I can't answer this question, it depends on what the organizing committee says," Atletico Madrid stood up and said: "Electronic products and weather forecasts are high-tech, but there is no new technology in sportswear, running shoes, and energy gels? ”

After finding a place to change clothes and coming outside again, the first batch of athletes had already crossed the line one after another, and they were gathering in the athletes' rest area in twos and threes, waiting for the men's medal ceremony to begin.

The first place is naturally Atletico Madrid, and the second and third places are still occupied by Ethiopian players, and the contrast in style is obvious when standing on the podium.

This result also clearly shows the attitude of the organizing committee, although Atletico Madrid's use of high-tech equipment to improve the performance is somewhat unsuccessful, but it is feasible without prohibition, and his results cannot be canceled because of this. Not only was the champion awarded as usual, but the legendary million-dollar prize was also handed to Atletico in the form of a giant cheque, but this was just a formality, and Atletico donated the money instead.
