Chapter 396: The Last Scene (Part I)

“…… The eight finalists were Poland in the second lane, Nigeria in the third lane, Russia in the fourth lane, Belgium in the fifth lane, Jamaica in the sixth lane, Great Britain in the seventh lane, Brazil in the eighth lane, and Germany in the ninth lane......"

At 21:13 on August 22, the live broadcast of the Olympic Games on CCTV channel was transferred to the Bird's Nest National Stadium, which was the National Stadium with more than 90,000 people.

In the track and field track of the stadium, the four athletes of the eight women's relay teams have already appeared on the track, and are doing a simple warm-up and measuring point.

"Hey, Jamaican girls, do your best!"

Nesta Carter looked excited, waving at the four Jamaican women on the TV screen.

After a brief warm-up, Usain Bolt, Powell, Nesta Carter and Michael Flatt – all of the Jamaican men's relay team – all stopped briefly and appeared in front of the TV in the lounge next to the warm-up field.

The Jamaican women's 4×100m relay team is arguably the strongest in Jamaican history, and all Jamaicans want to see what amazing they can do.

"This gold medal is definitely ours!" Michael Flatt shouted with confidence, "Do you think they're going to think about breaking the Olympic record or the world record right now?" Do they have any Yankees on their opponents? ”

"Maybe, Cologne said before the game that they would definitely win the gold medal, so what else do they have to challenge, of course it's a record!"

Before Powell and Bolt could speak, Nesta Carter had already turned his head and danced with some joy.

The current women's Olympic record is 41.60 seconds set by the East German women's 4×100m relay team in Moscow in 1980, while the world record is also 41.37 seconds set by the East German women's relay team in Canberra, Australia in 1985.

The Jamaican women's relay team easily qualified in the preliminaries with a time of 42.24 seconds, and the world record is very promising.

And in the final of the women's 4×100m relay at this Olympic Games, the only American team that can compete with them has been out of the tournament because of a baton mistake, and this gold medal was almost "booked" by the Jamaican team in advance.

Bolt and Powell, including one side, felt that there was basically no suspense about the women's team winning the championship at this time, and they were more speculating about whether they would break the record.

At 21:15, the noisy stadium was quieted down a little as the first runner of the eight finals relay team stepped onto the runner.

The starting gun sounded, and the 100-meter flyer Fraser quickly took the lead for the Jamaican team with her super starting ability, followed by Russia and Belgium.

Simpson, who was in charge of the second bat, also completed the second batter very smoothly, with a clear lead.

"Oh!"

But at this time, in the Bird's Nest National Stadium, a huge exclamation suddenly sounded.

Jamaica's second baseman Simpson handed the baton to third baseman Cologne Stewart, who failed to hold on to the first blow and made a major mistake in the baton.

At this time, except for the British team, which also had a handover accident, the other teams have rushed to the fourth base. As the race entered the final 100 meters and everyone was sprinting, Jamaica's 200m champion Campbell was left to do nothing but stay at the starting line.

"Oh my God, this ...... What happened here? ”

“FUCK!” Nesta Carter roared like an angry bull.

At this time, the four members of the Jamaican relay men's team, which originally seemed very relaxed, were extremely depressed in an instant.

Bolt held his head and watched the situation on the field through the television, almost making him unable to believe his eyes. Powell shook his head again and again, showing a rare look of pity.

It is difficult for almost everyone to accept that there has been such a major mistake in such a good situation. It was arguably Jamaica's most accessible gold medal, but now it's gone.

"Okay, we need a meeting."

With a gloomy face on his face, Michael Flatt watched the frustrated Jamaican women on the TV, took a light breath, turned his head and clapped his hands and shouted at Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt.

Unlike the original plane, their men's 4×100m relay has already faced a strong challenge, and the U.S. team with Guy and Gatlin is not much weaker than them.

At this moment, the situation in front of them is a real reminder that the four fastest female athletes on the planet should have won the gold medal, but in the end, they failed to complete the game due to a mistake in handing over the baton and regretted being out.

This feeling of tension and excitement instantly made several people nervous.

……

National Olympic Sports Center.

The hockey hall was thunderous with applause, and the loud cheers almost shook the entire stadium.

But it wasn't the host's Chinese fans who created the momentum.

In the past, no matter where they went to watch the game, as long as the Chinese team participated, the fans in the stands would provide an overwhelming home advantage, supporting the home team and intimidating the opponent with cheers and cheers.

However, at 20:30, in the final match, Chinese fans met a strong opponent for the first time.

At the scene of the women's hockey final, the Dutch fans who came across the ocean accounted for more than 30% of the whole game that night, and they were uniformly dressed and formed a phalanx in the stands, which was even more imposing.

And at this moment, this cheer has reached its climax.

Dutch fans who followed the team from the Netherlands, thousands of miles away, to China were enthusiastically celebrating their Olympic victory.

The large number of Chinese spectators in the stands are also giving warm applause and encouragement to the Chinese women's hockey team, which is the best result created by Chinese women's hockey in the history of the Olympic Games.

At this moment, no one is critical of the young Chinese women's hockey girls, who have never reached the final of the Olympic Games before, and their best result before that was only the semi-finals of the last Olympics.

Just as the atmosphere of the audience reached its most enthusiastic, and many Dutch women's hockey players hugged each other to celebrate the championship, suddenly, the scene was jubilant and jumping, and the Dutch fans who sang loudly suddenly exclaimed.

Their most eye-catching jewel on the court, after hugging all the players, spit out braces, threw away the hockey stick, and ran out of the field as fast as he could.

A company of Mercedes-Benz business cars had already been waiting outside the venue, and after she got into the car, the engine sound sounded loudly, and it drove out directly from the Olympic Inner Ring Road.

……

After the women's 4×100m relay, the competition continued in the Bird's Nest Stadium.

At 21:40, the last two preliminaries of the men's decathlon 1500m began, and Chinese player Qi Haifeng performed well, scoring 685 points with a time of 4:39.32. However, in the previous nine events, the points were low, and in the end it only finished 17th with 7835 points.

At 22:05 in the evening, the Bird's Nest National Stadium ushered in the climax of tonight, and the eight teams in the men's 4×100m relay final crossed the track and appeared on the track.

Countless Chinese viewers waiting in front of the TV set sat in front of the TV at the moment when the TV screen switched to the Bird's Nest Stadium, waiting for the upcoming game.

The eight relay teams appeared one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene continued to rise, and the camera was especially given to Su Zu, who was far away from the fourth baton and was measuring the footsteps.

“…… Audience friends, the men's 4×100m relay final will be played soon.

If he wins the gold medal in the final relay, he will become only the second athlete to win the men's 100m, 200m and 4×100m triple crown at one Olympic Games, after Carl Lewis at Los Angeles 1984...... I hope that the Chinese athletes in the first three sticks can have a normal, high-level performance today and smoothly hand over the baton to Su Zu's hands......"

As the minutes and seconds passed, and now the camera camera kept switching, and the conference broadcast began to introduce the situation of the eight relay teams in tonight's race.

Now the voice of Yang Jian, the commentator, followed the camera, and it also sounded in front of the audience:

“…… The second is the Brazilian team, the first is Lima, the second is Viana, the third is Baros, and the fourth is Covia;

The third is Trinidad and Tobago, the first is Bradman, the second is Mark Burns, the third is Highlander, and the fourth is Richard Thompson, who has a good performance in the 100 meters;

The fourth is the Chinese team, the Chinese team won the men's 4×100m championship in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and once again stood on the starting line of the final...... Suzu was in the fourth bat. On their home turf, under the watchful eye of 90,000 people, the Chinese team will meet the challenge of two of the most powerful relay teams in human history.

Fifth, let's take a look at one of the strongest teams in the upcoming Olympic Games, Jamaica, the first batter is Nesta Carter, the second is Michael Flat, the third is Usain Bolt, and the fourth is Asafa Powell, can they take the baton perfectly? It was the strongest relay in Jamaica's history, with all four riders under 10m, with Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell under 9.80m. I wonder if they'll be able to pull off a miracle tonight?

The sixth lane is the strong American team, the first batter of the American team is Walter Dicks, the second is Justin Gatlin, the third is Tyson Gay, and the fourth is Rodney Martin. The same four competitors are under 10 seconds, and Guy and Gatling are also strong under 9.80 seconds, which is also the strongest relay lineup in the history of Team USA, and they will face the Jamaican relay team tonight, and it will be interesting to see who will have the last laugh.

The seventh lane is the Japanese team, and the four bats of Japan are Nobuji Asahara, Shinshi Takahira, Shingo Suesu, and Naoki Tsukahara. Their two baton leaders, the second is Shingo Suesu, and the last is Nobuji Asahara.

In the eighth lane, the Dutch team was the first bat, the second was Hugomod, the third was Luke, and the last was Dougdas.

Canada in the ninth lane, the first batter is Palmier, the second batter is Henry, the third batter is Connaughton, and the fourth batter is Pierre Brown......

The first players are making their final preparations...... This men's 4×100 relay final can be the greatest team relay showdown in the history of human track and field so far...... The big battle is about to break out, this is the pinnacle battle of the United States team, the Jamaican team, and the Chinese team, in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the cheering of the audience is deafening, and I believe that the audience in front of the TV can also hear it clearly...... The race is about to begin!! ”
