Eden on the field has already started the final sprint.

Ma Shanyong and the leaders in the stands were all staring at the finish timer.

The significance of this competition is not only an ordinary 5,000-meter competition in the University Games, but also an Olympic qualification competition.

In fact, in the next six months, any competition above the provincial level can be regarded as an Olympic qualification trial.

The moment Eden crossed the line, the results on the timer came out.

13:08.36!

This result directly broke the personal limit of Eden, and even broke several records.

The first is the event record of the Universiade.

The second is the national college student 5,000 meter record, which was previously held by Yi Dun, and now Yi Dun has broken his own record, and the improvement is extremely huge.

Finally, it was EDUN that broke the record of the 5,000-meter race held in China.

"Yes, it seems that Yi Dun has a stronger talent in long-distance running than the shot put, and I feel that Yi Dun will definitely get a long-distance running quota in this Beijing Olympics."

"In the men's long-distance running in Asia, the best results at the moment are the Japanese runners, and now that we have Yi Dun, we will definitely not lose to Japan in long-distance running." The leader in the stands said with a smile.

Such an achievement, looking at the whole of Asia, is already an incomparably top existence.

At present, the two strongest men's long-distance running countries in Asia are Japan and Bahrain.

Before Eden was born, three of the top five runners in the Asian 5,000 distance run were from Japan and two from Bahrain.

Bahrain is a special country, the full name is the Kingdom of Bahrain, I am afraid that most people do not know the existence of this country.

Bahrain is an island country in the southwestern part of the Persian Gulf in Western Asia, with an area of only 750 square kilometers and a population of just over one million.

Such a scale is almost equivalent to the area and population of a county in China.

But this Bahraini kingdom is rich in money and oil resources, so the per capita income can reach more than 20,000 dollars.

Bahrain is so small in size and population that it has little international presence.

How can you find a sense of presence? Bahrain has taken direct aim at the world of sports.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind, and the rich Kingdom of Bahrain has directly naturalized some of the world's top sports athletes, especially long-distance runners, with a lot of money.

If you pay attention to long-distance running, you can often see Bahraini runners win championships.

(In this year's Military Games in Wuhan, the men's 5,000-meter champion was a Bahraini player.) ）

Among them is Albert Ropp, the Asian record holder for 5,000 meters, a long-distance runner from East Africa.

It can be seen that Bahrain's self-produced long-distance runners are not very strong, and the reason why they can occupy the top two spots in the Asian long-distance running circle is due to naturalization.

Generally speaking, not many of these naturalized athletes would associate their results with Bahrain.

Asia's men's long-distance running powerhouse, Bahrain is definitely not qualified to sit in this position anyway, but China's close neighbor Little Japan is quite good in men's long-distance running.

The reason why this year's Eden result moved the leaders in the stands was because Eden broke the best result of Japanese players.

Japan's current domestic record for 5,000 meters is 13:08.40, and Edom's time is 13:08.36......

It's only a mere four milliseconds, but that's the way sports records are, even if it's just one millisecond higher, it's definitely high.

After the current Yi Dun ran this result, it can be said that he is the first brother of the men's long-distance running in Asia.

The A standard for the Beijing Olympics selection qualification is 13 minutes and 21 seconds, and Yi Dun's result has far exceeded the A standard.

With such strength, if nothing else, he will definitely be able to get the selection qualification.

"Old Ma, now that we have a plan outside of Yi Dun, what is the best men's 5,000-meter runner?" The highest-ranking leader on the stage, after a moment of silence, asked.

The man who was called Lao Ma frowned and recalled for a moment, "I really don't know this, what kind of state our man's five thousand meters is, you don't know." ”

"I don't know the exact result, but I'm sure it didn't go past 13 minutes and 30 seconds, and if it did, I would definitely know about it."

The domestic record is 13 minutes and 25 seconds held by Xia Fengyuan, and if it were an athlete other than Yi Dun, even if he only ran a time of 13 minutes and 30 seconds, he would definitely remember it.

"Hey, what the hell do you think this is going on? Why are we male athletes inferior to female athletes? The women's 5,000 meters can win the Olympic championship, and the men can't even get the qualification. The big leader frowned and said with some annoyance.

The rest of the crowd smiled bitterly, this matter is really unclear, it stands to reason that male athletes are better treated than female athletes in most cases.

But the better treatment can't produce results......

Is it because the money is given too much?

"If nothing else, Yi Dun will definitely have to represent his country in the Olympic Games for 5,000 meters, after all, he doesn't even have a decent competitor at home."

Everyone nodded, isn't this the lice on the bald man's head?

In addition to Yi Dun, there is not even a single Olympic A-level player in China, let alone A-standard, and even B-standard cannot be found.

You must know that the standard of standard B is also as high as 13 minutes and 28 seconds......

Even if there are 5,000 meters in China that have reached the B standard, there is no point in participating in the competition.

You must know that there is a preliminary round for the Olympic 5,000 meters, and the B standard athletes do not have the slightest possibility of entering the finals.

Unless the National Sports Bureau completely abandons men's long-distance running, otherwise, Yidun will definitely be able to participate in the Olympic Games in the current situation.

……

Yi Dun also smiled after looking at his results.

I am quite satisfied with this result.

According to the results of the Athens Olympics in 04, I am exactly sixth.

Eden remembers the gold medalist at the Athens Olympics, with a time of just over 13 minutes and 5 seconds.

At first glance, it seems that he is not much away from winning gold, only about 3 seconds away.

But in the group of top athletes, this short three seconds is likely to be the difference between first and eighth.

And the results of the Athens Olympics in '04 were not particularly good, and no one ran 13 points.

In the next Beijing Olympics, there may be some big long-distance runners, at least as far as Yi Dun knows, in the last two or three years, there have been several East African runners who can pass the 13-point mark.

If Yi Dun really went to participate in the 5,000-meter run at the Beijing Olympics, he could only try his luck, and maybe the top five runners were all injured halfway......
