Chapter 444: Caucasians in the Finals
"Hmm...... Got it, I'll control my pace. "Participating in an international tournament for the first time and being able to reach the final of the Olympic Games with ease makes Varina very excited.
However, this young white guy also knows that since Guo Zizhao can easily defeat his senior brother Michael. Johnson, this strength is not comparable to his current strength.
Moreover, Guo Zizhao easily ran within 44 seconds in the preliminaries and semifinals, which has exceeded himself too much. If you want to run with Guo Zizhao's rhythm, you will probably die an ugly death!
Moreover, Guo Zizhao also announced yesterday that he will continue to break the world record today. I'll go...... You must know that Guo Zizhao's world record in the 400 meters is 43.15 seconds! This time is nearly 1 second faster than his best time. If I am disrupted this time, whether I can finish the race or not is still two words!
"It's good that you understand," Coach Sam whispered when he saw that Varina understood his intentions, "Your opponent in this final is actually our own people." Harris and Blue are both very strong, and if you can beat them, a medal will definitely be necessary. ”
"Don't worry, they have always looked down on me, hum...... In this final, I will let them both know that I am really good! At the mention of his two teammates, Varina was also unhappy. After all, he is a white sprinter, and discrimination and distrust are common in this black-dominated sprint sport.
Hum...... What are these guys so proud of, now the dominance of black people in the field of sprinting has long been broken by Guo Zizhao! Guo Zizhao, a yellow race, can dominate the world athletics, why can't I, Varina!
……
Soon, all the runners entered the arena under the leadership of the staff, and while warming up briefly, they each came to their own starting line.
Guo Zizhao still occupies the best fourth runway this time. The third track on the left is the American Blue, and the fifth and sixth tracks on the right are the American Varina and Harris.
It can be said that even Michael. Johnson has been retired for more than two years, but it can be seen from the number of finishes in this final that the overall strength of the American team is still extremely strong in this event.
China's Xu Ziyu and Ghana's Krako were placed on the inside of the 1st and 2nd tracks. Two Jamaican runners, Simpson and Frank, occupied the outermost two tracks.
The audience around the week was also very interested in this final. Tut-tut...... Among the eight finalists, there are actually two yellow and one white race, which is rare in previous sprint finals......
Although in recent years, due to Guo Zizhao's strong rise, it has changed the scene of black people dominating the entire sprint finals in the past, in addition to seeing Guo Zizhao in the sprint finals, it is not surprising to occasionally see one or two yellow people. But it's relatively rare to see Caucasians here, especially since Varina still occupies the 5th runway after Guo Zizhao. Tut-tut...... Is there another talented white sprinter on the rise?
Some older sports enthusiasts still remember that the last white runner to win a gold medal in the men's 400-meter dash was Soviet Viktor. Ma Jin. However, that was also at the Moscow Olympics 24 years ago. Now that I see Caucasians on this stage again, I am still full of emotion......
Don't look at the previous Western media always shouting that it is impossible for a yellow person to run within 10 seconds in 100 meters, in fact, for themselves, among the white race, there are also sprinters who have not run within 10 seconds.
Now Guo Zizhao has already broken through the 10-meter limit of 10 seconds for the yellow race, and the white race, who has always claimed to be superior, is still blocked out of 10 seconds, how can this not embarrass the Western society?
Therefore, when the white-skinned Varina appeared on the stage, it received strong attention from the Western media and the audience. When the on-site commentator introduced the 5th contestant, the cheers and cheers of the audience even surpassed Guo Zizhao, who had just been introduced.
……
In fact, the audience's support for Varina is not only because of the color of his skin, but also to express his dissatisfaction and vent to the Olympic Committee.
The men's 200-meter sprinter Kentris, known as the "Light of Greece", was disqualified from the International Olympics the day before the start of the Olympic Games for evading doping tests. Also disqualified was Kentrice's training partner, Greece's female flyer Tanu.
In his previous history, Greece's Kentrice won the men's 200m dash at the Sydney Olympics and the men's 200m dash at the World Championships a year later. It was the first time a Greek had won an Olympic and World Championship in a sprint event, and Kentrith was an authentic white sprinter.
Therefore, Kentris became famous in one fell swoop, becoming a white sprinter in Greece and even in the whole of Europe, and was called "the light of Greece" by the Greeks.
Although in this life, due to the rise of Guo Zizhao, Kentrice's two gold medals became silver medals, but because of his Caucasian status, it also did not affect his status in the eyes of the people in his country. Even, at the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games, the athlete who was scheduled to light the cauldron was Kentris.
However, since Kentrith won the Olympic and World Championships, the doping suspicions surrounding him have not stopped.
The reason is also very simple, that is, this player has lived almost all these years, except for the Sydney Olympics and the World Championships in Edmonton, Kentris has participated in international competitions that can be counted on one hand. This has to make people worry-free and suspicious, if they are not sick or injured, since they have the strength to win the award, why don't they come out to participate in international competitions?
Not only does Kentris not participate in international competitions, but he often lies about his training location to evade doping flight checks. Especially before the start of the Games, Kentris once again evaded doping tests on the grounds that he had not been notified of the International Olympic Games.
Even when the IOC doping test personnel volunteered to wait for Kentris at the training base, the guy artificially caused a minor car accident on the way, claiming that he was hospitalized due to the car accident and refused to test again. After the inspectors rushed to the hospital, they saw Kentrice, who was fine, and asked to keep samples directly in the hospital for testing, but Kenteris refused on the grounds that the hospital environment was not suitable.
In the face of such non-cooperation from the Greeks, the IOC finally disqualified Kentrice from the Olympics through arbitration.
……
This decision of the International Olympic Committee naturally caused dissatisfaction among all Greeks. However, Kentrice's inability to provide the results of various flight inspections in the past two years, and the fact that he has repeatedly evaded doping tests is clear, and the Greek authorities have nothing to say.
However, the influence of this kind of thing on the Greek people is still quite large. The local audience also took the opportunity to vent, not only to support Varina, who is also Caucasian, but also to express their dissatisfaction with the International Olympic Committee.
Even Guo Zizhao couldn't help but be a little jealous when he saw that Varina had so much audience support!
Well, even if it's your popularity! Guo Zizhao also glanced at the white guy in front of him unhappily. Tut-tut...... A pair of super cool sunglasses, coupled with a good look, no wonder the popularity is overwhelming......
Hum...... This Olympic Games is your home stadium, I will bear with it, and when it comes to the next Beijing Olympic Games, Lao Tzu will let you know what is the vast ocean of the people......
"Strong advanced stride running shoes", "physical strength medicine", and "state medicine" are all equipped for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is going to kill today......
