Chapter 284: The Olympic Journey (7)
Shen Lang's record in the 100m freestyle was significantly more influential than any other individual event, making him the center of public opinion on the second day of competition, and the Asian media were ready to use a large number of reports to document the breakthrough of the yellow race in the sprint swimming event.
In China, the influence of this gold medal is also the heaviest one in the Olympic Games at present, and it is not even inferior to Xu Haifeng's first Olympic gold.
This may make some people wonder, why does Shen Lang's gold medal have such a heavy weight? Didn't the other players win the gold medal?
This is just like the original plane Liu Xiang's track and field gold medal weight is the most important, because Chinese and even Asians have never won honors in short-distance track and field events, not even on the podium.
For a century, it has been recognized worldwide that Asians are not good at athletics, especially under 400 meters.
But Liu Xiang not only became the first yellow sprint track and field champion, but also the first Asian track and field champion to break the world record, and this gold medal is of course of epoch-making significance.
The weight of Shen Lang's gold medal is still a little worse than those track and field events with the highest influence.
Japan has also had a number of Olympic swimming titles in its history, with Takeshi Yamanaka even winning five Olympic gold medals.
However, most of the swimming championships won by the Japanese were in the long-distance events, as well as the breaststroke, which is more a test of endurance, and there was no breakthrough in the short freestyle, especially the butterfly, which is the most physical test.
Shen Lang made a breakthrough in the sprint swimming event this time, just like the difference between the 5,000-meter run and the 10,000-meter run and the 100-meter and 200-meter run in the track and field field, of course, the importance is different.
Just when the outside world was discussing Shen Lang's breakthrough in the swimming world, only an hour later, Yao Jingyuan once again helped China add a gold medal in the 60-67.5 kg weightlifting event, but this gold medal could not attract too much attention.
The Chinese weightlifting team is not inferior to the shooting team in this Olympic Games, and now the shooting team has helped China win 4 gold medals, and the weightlifting team also has 3.
But after Shen Lang won the gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle, the most discussed thing naturally became this swimming gold medal, unless boxing, football, and basketball can also win gold medals, then it can become the next hot spot.
Wu Jie was naturally happy about the results of the weightlifting team, but he also knew that the results of the weightlifting team in this Olympic Games would end here.
At this time, China's outstanding weightlifters are mainly concentrated under 67.5 kilograms, and I don't know if it is limited by nutritional deficiencies, and there has been no player who can win medals in the next ten years, and his card cannot make up for the gap.
If a player doesn't even have the strength to win a bronze medal, then the card will have very little effect.
This situation of the Chinese weightlifting team continued until the turn of the millennium, when champions around 70 kg gradually emerged, but it was not until 08 years later that real heavyweight weightlifting champions appeared.
But even with only these three gold medals, the Chinese weightlifting team has overfulfilled its task in this Olympic Games.
After the gold medal was obtained, the Chinese delegation has risen to 9 golds and 4 silvers in the medal table, continuing to lead the rest of the countries, including the host United States, which has only won one gold medal so far.
Wu Jie also received another side task at this time, he needs to help the Chinese team win the halfway gold medal, that is, to stabilize the first position in the gold medal table in the first 9 days of the 18 competition days.
The reward for this task is not small, but the difficulty is not low, because the outdoor events have exploded since the 6th day, and the Chinese team must accumulate some more advantages in the indoor events in the first week.
In the afternoon, the final of the "men's 10-meter platform" is also underway, and the ace of the Chinese team in this event is Li Kongzheng.
The first Chinese athlete to compete abroad as an active athlete of the national team was already famous at the age of 15.
But like the hapless Tan Liangde, he failed to win the gold medal at the Olympics in his original plane, and also lost to the American diving emperor.
Wu Jie hesitated for a while before the game, he originally decided to take one step this time and directly hit a diamond-level card to help Li Kongzheng win the gold medal.
But after carefully checking the person's information, he hesitated to put the card back.
His hesitation is that Li Kongzheng will be a member of the army going abroad in the future, which is actually still within his acceptable range, but Li Kongzheng will become the coach of the American diving team in the future, which makes him feel unbearable.
Wu Jie doesn't think this choice is heinous, nearly half of the Chinese athletes who have won the Olympic championship in this era have later embarked on the road of going abroad as coaches.
These people want to pursue a richer life, Wu Jie doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, he himself prefers to live in Europe at this time, because the quality of life in China is indeed too far behind.
For people like Qian Xuesen, Wu Jie himself knows that he is far inferior.
But at least he won't change his nationality, let alone train European football, that's his bottom line.
So let him use the cards on these people who are on the left side of his bottom line, and then he won't be comfortable.
Wu Jie now regrets that he didn't give Tan Liangde a step, because after retiring with the title of "Millennium No. 2", Tan Liangde not only did not choose to go abroad, but after the failure of the three Olympic Games, he entered the diving hall as soon as he came back, selected seedlings to train the next generation, and finally cultivated Hu Jia, the Olympic champion, with his own hands, which can be regarded as a round of his regrets.
Neither Tan Liangde nor Lee Kong-jung won an Olympic title when they were athletes, but the former personally cultivated an Olympic champion, while the other cultivated talents in the United States.
Wu Jie didn't want to say anything against his will, he had no right to comment on other people's pursuit of freedom, but he had the right to hate such a choice.
There are many people in China who will go abroad to be coaches in the future, and some of them are understandable, just like Luan Jujie needs to treat his children, and Lang Ping needs to treat himself, so he has to use his ability to go abroad to make money, and even move people.
He doesn't know if these are true or not, but at least there is no problem with the reason, and the real blame is that the body department did not do a good job.
His sports fund is going to do a good job in this area in the future, and it must not let the heroes chill their hearts.
But the contrast between Tan Liangde and Li Kongzheng is too strong, how can he be willing to use cards for the latter?
Now even if giving Li Kongzheng a diamond card can give him a good chance of winning the championship, so that he can have a greater chance of completing the task of the halfway championship, but in the end, Wu Jie still didn't give Li Kongzheng a card.
Li Kongzheng's strength is already inferior to Louganis, and now he is playing away again, and the score has been behind in the whole game.
In the last jump, he had to choose an overly difficult move, but the result was not very good, and he did not even keep the silver medal that he could have won, and finally only won the third place.
This result is similar to the original plane, and the top three scores are also very tight until the last jump.
Wu Jie knew that if he really used this diamond card for Li Kongzheng, he would not be able to complete the Jedi turnaround.
But there are some things that go against his will, Wu Jie just doesn't want to do it, it's a big deal that he doesn't want to reward him for this task.
Besides, isn't it fragrant to leave this card for someone else?
Thinking of this, Wu Jie opened the panel of the Chinese archery team, and threw a diamond-level card to Li Lingjuan without hesitation.
This Sichuan girl has been practicing archery for less than three years, but a year later she has won the national championship, and two years later, she won the women's double all-around, 50-meter double round and 60-meter double round three championships at the Asia-Pacific Archery Championships.
Wu Jie can see through the system that Li Lingjuan surpasses Xu Xiangshun, the women's archery champion of this Olympic Games, in terms of talent, but after all, she has only practiced archery for two and a half years, and she has just been able to practice "singing" and "jumping" thirty years later.
The archery competition is another protracted competition, which requires two rounds of "knockout" and "final", with a total of eight groups of total scores, and the final finalists have to shoot a total of 320 arrows.
This is not something that can be done simply by relying on the power of heaven, Li Lingjuan's original plane finally lost to Xu Xiangshun, that is, the practice time was too short and she lost her first-hand experience and proficiency.
Therefore, Wu Jie plans to help her from today's knockout stage, and South Korea, which was originally in the plane, has always regarded itself as the supremacy of the "archery" sport, so he just wants to make the stick dare not watch this sport in the future.
All afternoon, gold medals were born in road cycling, judo, diving, and weightlifting, but none of them had anything to do with China.
waited until the evening, and Shen Lang finally made China the protagonist again.
Tonight wasn't easy for him, though, because the 200m butterfly heats were at 7 o'clock and the 100m butterfly final at 9 o'clock.
Now the Western media admit that he is the new swimming flying fish, but of course he is still reluctant to think about the bright side as to how many gold medals he can win.
Shen Lang didn't feel too much pressure, and when his physical fitness rose to a first-class level, there was no longer anything that could shackle him.
But the disgusting thing, after all, I couldn't help but play in advance.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, before the start of the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries, Shen Lang was asked to take a urine test as soon as he came to the competition site.
There's nothing wrong with this, who made his performance too amazing, and it's normal for people to check it out.
But the problem is that he was the only one on the scene to take a urine test!
"Why is it only for me to be tested?"
Shen Lang was naturally unwilling, this was not a temporary sampling.
He also had a pre-competition urine test at the World Championships, but he had never seen a single person do it.
"If you don't get tested, you can't participate in the competition!"
The attitude of the Olympic committee was very resolute, and after several inspectors showed their qualification certificates, a leading official said coldly.
"We seriously protest against this targeted test! This is discrimination against Chinese athletes! ”
Hu Leader of the swimming team also followed Shen Lang, of course, protested against this discriminatory practice.
But the officials of the Olympic Committee took a tough attitude, and now Shen Lang has only one choice: either take a urine test, or disqualify him from the competition according to the violation and report it to FINA.
The leaders and coaches of the Chinese swimming team, including Shen Lang, of course, were indignant at this discrimination.
But at the moment, they really have to swallow this loss.
If he doesn't get tested, he will really fall behind, and then the Western media can use "refusal to test" to report that he has taken illegal drugs, otherwise why don't you dare to test?
"Shen Lang, get tested."
When he had to say this sentence to Shen Lang, his expression and tone were quite a bit like Li Xuejian's description of being blackmailed by the United States in "Born Out of Thin Air".
The leaders of the main events of the Olympic Games are basically led by the drivers and co-drivers of the sports department, and some of them still have the temperament of old hammer and sickle party members.
"Team leader, can I do this in a while?"
Shen Lang's face still didn't see too many strange emotions, but the words whispered in the leader's ear made the latter startled.
"Are you sure?"
Team Leader Hu was really startled when he heard this, he was also known for his boldness in the body, but he didn't expect Shen Lang, a humble gentleman, to be even more daring than him.
"Of course, if we resist testing, the Western media will definitely say that we are doping and dare not take the test."
"No, I mean you refused to accept the prize in protest!"
Team Leader Hu was surprised not that Shen Lang was willing to be tested, but that he planned to refuse to come on stage to accept the award after winning the championship, which was too shocking.
"Americans set a precedent 12 years ago, and since they believe that they have to fight against injustice, I naturally want to follow the example of these torch-bearers who are guiding our way."
Shen Lang's words had a lot of yin and yang weirdness, and Team Leader Hu naturally heard that the indignation in his heart was also extreme.
But even he couldn't predict the consequences of doing this, but when he thought of Shen Lang's ability inside and outside the pool, he could understand this kid's boldness, and he could only smile bitterly at this moment: "When I was young, I also wanted to ignore myself and do something shocking." It's a pity that I can't do it, it's hard not to bend down in this life, but some people can withstand the power of Mount Tai's pressure. ”
This team leader Hu patted Shen Lang on the shoulder, and the implication was naturally "everything is up to you"!
Shen Lang nodded slightly, but in fact, this kind of thing did not conform to his style.
Usually this is the case, there must be a task that has to make the tool people do something that violates the personality setting.
This time, the system issued a task, and Wu Jie had to force Shen Lang to do something out of the ordinary.
"Get a new mission!"
"Special Mission: [American Killer]!"
"Mission requirements: After winning the Olympic swimming championship in the individual event and breaking the world record, refuse to come to the stage to accept the award!"
"Mission Reward: 10,000 Olympic Points will be added for each rejection, and the achievement [American Killer] will be awarded after completing 5 times!
[American Killer]: The opposite sex of American nationality will have an extra favor for you, greatly increasing the chance of 419 against the opposite sex in the United States, greatly increasing the chance of NTR against the same sex in the United States, and greatly reducing the chance of being NTR by the same sex in the United States (common to all tool people).
As soon as Wu Jie saw this task, of course he knew that this discrimination had to be endured.
This kind of task that rewards "achievements" or "Buffs" is very rare in itself, and is generally only available in the main quest, and this is the first time he has seen that a non-main quest also has an achievement reward, or such an extremely tempting achievement, so it must not be missed.
