The system sent a bunch of benefits to Duke, reward points, honor points, blank burning pages, everything.

"There are 437 bonus points left, so save them."

"6 medals of honor, which can be used for several years."

"Two blank pages can open up two new projects for free. Universal stunt synthesis templates, dismantling scrolls, and random gift packs have not been used recently, and they are all saved, and they are all saved. ”

Lying on the hotel's plush bed, Duke appeared to be asleep, actually taking inventory of the system. Participating in an Olympic Games has saved enough money for the next five or six years, and has gained a lot.

Su Yun beside him looked at Du Ke, who seemed to be asleep, and said in his heart, "Have you forgotten that you are surprised or something, the Olympics are about to end......

……

On August 21, the last day of competition in Rio, the closing ceremony will also take place tonight.

A total of 12 gold medals will be awarded in the men's marathon, men's basketball, women's volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics, boxing and mountain biking, which will be the last 12 gold medals of the Rio Olympics.

Olympic X Sports Park, which is the venue for mountain biking.

Mountain biking is a category of cycling, including XC lap race, DH downhill race, slalom and other sub-events.

At the Rio Olympics, there were only two events in the mountain bike category, the men's and women's XC laps.

The women's mountain bike XC competition ended yesterday with Swedish female rider Sveez winning the gold medal as she continued the Europeans' dominance in the individual event.

In the men's mountain bike XC category, nine of the top 10 athletes in the world are Europeans, eight of whom made it to Rio.

At 10:30 a.m., two hours before the men's mountain bike race was fired, riders from all over the world had arrived at the Olympic X Sports Park one after another to begin an intense and orderly warm-up and debugging of the car.

Swiss journalists are interviewing their own driver Nino Schulte: "Nino, I hope you can make up for the one-second regret of four years ago!" ”

Nino Schulte, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, missed the gold medal in London by just one second, and said decisively: "If I can't win this time, I will immediately announce my retirement." ”

At the same time, the legendary French driver Absaron, who is currently ranked second in the world, told French reporters: "I have two Olympic XC gold medals, and more titles in the World Championships and World Cups. In XC or mountain biking, I've got all the accolades I can take, but I don't mind winning one more Olympic gold medal. "Absaron's place in the mountain bike world is similar to that of Douc in the world of swimming, he is the face of mountain biking.

And Du Ke himself was being interviewed by a reporter from CCTV 5 at this time, he squatted next to his DMR racing car to check the front and rear tires and shock absorbers, and chatted with reporters while checking the parts: "Oh, I'm sorry, what did you just say? ”

Reporter: "Duke, you have signed up for 26 individual events, and your current record is 24 gold and 1 bronze, and the mountain bike race is your last single event in Rio, what are you expecting?" ”

Ducco: "Of course I want to have a beginning and an end. ”

The reporter asked: "What are your plans after the Olympics?" You announced your retirement from swimming last week, will the focus shift to athletics and cycling after Rio? ”

Du Ke smiled and said: "Taking the opportunity of your interview with CCTV 5, I would like to continue to announce a news, after careful consideration and reporting to the General Administration, I have decided to temporarily leave track and field and cycling after the Rio Olympics." Of course, if the country needs me, I will be ready to return. ”

Du Ke smiled slightly, what he said was light and light, but it was nothing less than heavy news for CCTV 5 reporters.

The CCTV 5 reporter was very surprised: "You are temporarily away from swimming, track and field, and cycling...... So you're going to focus on shooting after the Olympics? ”

Duke shook his head: "No, I have also taken a leave of absence from the shooting team, and I will not participate in any official shooting competitions in the near future." ”

The CCTV 5 reporter suddenly realized: "You are going to retire!" Temporarily retiring from sports? "Duke is retiring, and this is still the case! Even if you retire temporarily, it's very exciting!

"I want to spend time with my family and girlfriends, and I haven't had time for them in the past few years. In addition, I would like to clarify that I am not announcing my retirement, but my exact words are: after the Olympics, I will take a break from swimming, track and field, cycling, shooting and other sports for a while. If the country needs me, I will fight at any time. ”

The CCTV 5 reporter reacted quickly: "So you will participate in other projects?" ”

"Huh." Duke laughed, noncommittal, and then changed the subject: "The Olympic gold medal in mountain biking is very important to me, as I said, I want to have a beginning and an end. Well, thanks for the interview, I need to warm up. ”

The influence of the central 5 station is greater, and before the men's mountain bike race starts, the news that Du Ke announced that he is temporarily away from the four major events has spread all over the world.

"Duke has retired, he won't play with his friends anymore!"

"Don't spread rumors! What Doucle means is that he will take up a new sport. ”

"Will it be volleyball? Duke often runs to the volleyball hall. ”

"He also went to the racetrack to watch the equestrians!"

"Don't even guess, it's definitely archery! Ducco, who has not won an Olympic gold medal in archery, said before coming to Rio that he regretted not being able to compete in the Olympic archery competition because of schedule conflicts. ”

"Is it possible that the triathlon, Duke is invincible in triathlon!"

"What does he play that is not invincible? People have said that in the near future, they will temporarily leave track and field, cycling, swimming, and shooting. Triathlon is swimming + cycling + running, and Duke will slap himself in the face? ”

For a while, there was a lot of heated discussion, and people's attention to Du Ke was far more than the upcoming men's mountain bike race.

Duke has his own medium- to long-term plans, but at this time he is only focused on one thing, one single event, and that is mountain biking.

At 12:30 p.m., 49 riders lined up in seven rows behind the start line as the men's mountain bike race was about to fire.

The circuit in Rio is 4.85 kilometers long, and the first rider to complete seven laps is the winner.

Duke got his Olympic ticket through the Asian Mountain Bike Championships, and his UCI points were not high, and he started in the last row, which was not a good starting position.

Teammate Wang Zhen has participated in some mountain bike points races this Olympic cycle, and his points are higher than Duke's, and he started in the sixth and penultimate row, which is a little better.

In addition to the difference in frame size and appearance color, Du Ke and Wang Zhen's racing cars are almost identical, the frame material is chrome-molybdenum steel, with a short and medium travel suspension fork, oil spring rear shock. Although the XC tires are not as durable as the DH tires, they are relatively fast, and with the hydraulic disc brakes, it depends on who is more skilled in controlling the car.

Duke's DMR car is XL silver and Wang Zhen's is L orange, and the two have their own goals, one looking forward to gold and the other hoping that he can finish the race smoothly.

At this time, the referee signaled: "10-second countdown, please prepare to send it out!" (To be continued.) )
