Chapter 468: The Rising Chinese Athletics

37.56 seconds!

The Chinese team's time to win the championship this time was actually 37.56 seconds!

When everyone saw this achievement, they couldn't help but applaud the Chinese team. Although this is 0.16 seconds away from the world record of 37.40 seconds, it is the second best time in the history of the Olympic Games. At the same time, this result is also the third best result in the world.

In the previous Olympic Games, in addition to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the world record of 37.40 seconds set by the United States team, and further down, it is the 37.56 seconds run by the Chinese team in the Athens Olympics!

And in the world's relay rankings, it is even better than the Chinese team's performance this time, that is, only in the 1999 World Athletics Championships, the United States team ran 37.50 seconds when they won the championship.

Even the commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "37.56 seconds!" The Chinese team set a new Asian record, which is nearly 0.3 seconds higher than yesterday's time in the preliminaries! It's incredible! The Chinese team's performance today is really perfect! Whether it is from the personal strength of each relay team member, or from the baton cooperation between the team members, the performance of the Chinese team this time is perfect! ”

"It's just a pity...... the commentator said here, also with some regret, "this result is still 0.16 seconds short of the world record!" In addition to Guo Zizhao, the personal strength of the other players in the Chinese relay team is still too poor. Chen Haijian, who had the best results, couldn't even get in for 10 seconds. The other two team members only achieved a time of about 10.20 seconds! ”

"If they can improve their time by another 0.1 seconds each, they will probably break the world record of 37.40 seconds. However, it is precisely in this way that the greatness of this achievement is reflected! ”

The narrator finally said with emotion, "The unparalleled Guo Zizhao led three teammates who were barely first-class players to defeat the American "Dream Army" composed of four top players, which is the perfect combination of individual strength and teamwork! ”

And in the subsequent contest between the American team and the British team, the British also had the last laugh.

"38.07 seconds! Team Great Britain crossed the finish line second with a time of 38.07 seconds! That's just 0.01 seconds faster than Team USA! ”

And the United States team, which was the favorite before the game, was once again hit hard in this final! Only one bronze medal was awarded! It was also the worst place in the history of the Olympics for the U.S. team after a final result. ”

……

Guo Zizhao and the relay team's championship this time also made the waiting area of the Chinese team boil.

Another Olympic gold medal in track and field has arrived! In this way, the Chinese team has won 6 gold medals in the track and field events of this Olympic Games! Not only is the number of gold medals one more than in the Sydney Olympics, but the number of gold medalists has also increased significantly.

At the Sydney Olympics, Guo Zizhao alone won 4 of the 5 gold medals in track and field, and the remaining one was the women's 20km race walk. But this time, in addition to Guo Zizhao, Liu Feifei and Xing Huina also made a breakthrough in the gold medal in the individual event. In the collective event, he won a historic relay gold medal.

That's progress! Tremendous progress!

Thinking of this, Luo Yichao and Feng Shuyong also laughed from ear to ear.

Ha ha...... It's only been four years, and our Chinese track and field projects have developed by leaps and bounds, and if we wait another four years until the 2008 Beijing Olympics, it will not be even more powerful!

The two couldn't help but YY, when the time came, Guo Zizhao was only 29 years old, and with Guo Zizhao's perverted physical fitness, he must still be at his peak. Liu Feifei is just 25 years old and is at his peak. There are also Chen Haijian, Yang Yaozhou and Xu Ziyu and others, who will only be 27 or 28 years old at that time, and there is also the possibility of persisting in another Olympic Games.

In addition, in the past few years, if we can train a group of new people, then our country's track and field projects will not have to fly immediately! Ha ha...... When the time comes, it is not impossible for us to become not only a sports power, but also a track and field power!

6 gold medals! Tut-tut...... Our track and field events have never been so generous in the Olympic Games!

……

In the history of China's Olympic Games, the relatively stable gold medal-winning events have always been weightlifting, diving, shooting and table tennis. In the last few Olympic Games, at least two gold medals have been awarded in each sport.

Gymnastics and swimming have both achieved brilliant results in history. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he won five gold medals in gymnastics. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the women's swimming event also won 4 golds and 1 silver.

But in the last three Olympic Games, these two old dominances have begun to decline, and badminton and track and field have begun to rise.

Badminton has grown by leaps and bounds since winning its first gold medal at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. At the Sydney Olympics four years later, he won 4 gold medals at once, establishing the status of my country's badminton in the world.

In track and field, there was only one gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But at the Sydney Olympics, it suddenly rose to 5, and Guo Zizhao's birth shocked the entire world athletics world.

At the Atlanta Olympics, the gold medals were won by four in table tennis, three in diving, and two each in shooting and weightlifting. Not only are there relatively few major gold medals, but the number of gold medals in each major event is not much.

But by the time it came to the Sydney Olympics, the gold medalists had won five gold medals each in diving, weightlifting and athletics, four each in badminton and table tennis, and three each in shooting and gymnastics. The track and field event has become one of the events that has contributed the most gold medals to the Chinese team in one fell swoop.

In this Athens Olympic Games, although the competition has not completely ended, the Chinese team's gold medal is basically determined.

Diving and track and field once again topped the list, winning six gold medals each. He won 5 gold medals in weightlifting, 4 in shooting, and 3 gold medals each in table tennis, badminton and swimming.

It can be said that today's Chinese track and field team occupies the same important position as the Chinese diving team, known as the "Dream Army" in the Olympic Games! Even, the status and influence of the track and field team in the domestic sports world are much higher than that of the diving team!

After all, track and field events are not comparable to diving events in terms of their wide participation in the international sports arena.

……

All this is thanks to Guo Zizhao's strong rise!

Thinking of the current prosperity and development of Chinese track and field, Director Luo Yichao and Head Coach Feng Shuyong also have to admit that Guo Zizhao has played a promoting role in this.

Without Guo Zizhao's strong rise, there would not be so many Olympic gold medals.

Without such outstanding achievements as Guo Zizhao, it will not stimulate the great enthusiasm of the people of the whole country and various local teams for track and field investment.

Without Guo Zizhao's huge influence in the world, it will not promote further exchanges between the outstanding players of the national team and international masters.

Therefore, although Guo Zizhao is not an athlete in the system, with the current general trend and Guo Zizhao's status in the international and domestic sports world, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about Guo Zizhao's identity.

Not to mention, in addition to track and field, Guo Zizhao is also very powerful in the swimming events of the Olympic Games this year.

Guo Zizhao not only won the two most important gold medals in the men's freestyle event in one fell swoop, but also brought the total number of gold medals in swimming events to three in this Olympic Games. It is estimated that now Director Li Ye and Shang Xiutang and others in the travel management center are so happy that they are grinning on their cheeks. With 6 gold medals in the diving team and 3 gold medals in the swimming team, the swimming management center is in the limelight this time!

Therefore, even today's Liu Feifei has begun to rise. But Luo Yichao and Feng Shuyong's attention to Guo Zizhao will not be reduced much.

Vigorously publicizing Liu Feifei's achievements this time is just for the sake of political performance and commercial endorsement, but in terms of personal strength and influence, Guo Zizhao is the most reliable......
