On August 11, the track and field competition at the London Olympics is also coming to an end. After today's competition www.biquge.info the main stadium of the London Olympics will be closed in preparation for the closing ceremony on the last day.

Today's track and field will produce eight gold medals, and the men's 5,000-meter race is the highlight of the day.

Four years later, the 2008 Olympic Games, the number of participants in the 5000m was still relatively large, and there was also a preliminary competition at that time, and only after advancing could they participate in the final. At the London Olympics, there were only 16 athletes in the 5,000m, which is much less than in the previous Olympics.

In terms of the difficulty of winning the championship, the 5,000m is also more difficult than the 10,000m. This is not because the 5,000m is more difficult than the 10,000m, but because the 5,000m is more competitive.

The 5,000m is a long-distance race, so the long-distance runner will definitely participate in the 5,000-meter race; In addition, some marathon runners occasionally participate in the 5000-meter race; There are also 3000-meter steeplechase athletes, their physical exertion of running the 3000-meter steeplechase is actually similar to that of 5000 meters, and they will also participate in the 5000-meter race, and the king of the 3000-meter steeplechase that year, Shahin, also won the 5000-meter World Championships gold medal; There are also some runners who run 1,500 meters, and they also run 5,000 meters.

Ethiopian star Bekele was once the world record holder in the 5000m, and after his comeback from the Olympics, he is still a world-class player in the 10000m event and can still represent Ethiopia in the Olympic Games, but when it comes to the 5000m run, Ethiopia has no place for him, which also shows how fierce the competition in the 5000m run.

In the player preparation area, Britain's Farah looked very active.

Farah, as the new "king of long-distance running", was considered the favorite to win the championship before the race, but since Zhang Guan broke the world record in the men's 10,000m, Zhang Guan's odds to win the championship have been on par with Farah.

In fact, Farah's 5,000m level is much better than his 10,000m, and the 5,000m is Farah's real strength.

Farah first practiced football, but later switched to running the 3,000 meters, which is an indoor event, not an Olympic event. There are many similarities between 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters, but compared to 10,000 meters, the differences are relatively large. Therefore, compared to the 10,000 meters, Farah is better at running the 5,000 meters, and as early as 2006, Farah won the European Championships.

At this time, Farah was not intimidated by Zhang Guan's 10,000-meter world record, and he even looked forward to defeating Zhang Guan in the 5,000-meter race.

"The whole world knew that Zhang Guan was deliberately sniping at the British team, Wiggins, the Brownlee brothers, and even Sir Hoy were defeated by Zhang Guan. If I can beat Zhang Guan in the next 5000m final, I will be a hero of the British Empire! It is even possible to receive a medal from Her Majesty the Queen! The 5000m is my strongest event and I will definitely win. ”

The title of "Hero of the British Empire" was too tempting for Farah.

Although Farah is already the world's top athlete, in fact, in the UK, many people do not really regard Farah as the last Briton and do not accept him from the heart.

Farah was born in Somalia and later entered the UK as a refugee. It is impossible for any country in the world to accept refugees without reservation, and it is impossible for ordinary people to regard refugees as their own people, which has been confirmed countless times in history, not to mention that Britain is still a relatively xenophobic country in Europe, and the future Middle East refugee incident, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and even Belgium and other small countries have accepted refugees, but the United Kingdom, a refugee does not want a single refugee, and even the whole thing of Brexit.

Somalia was once a British colony, and refugees from a colony like Falah, even if they obtained British citizenship, were only second-class citizens in the eyes of traditional British, and discrimination was inevitable. So if Farah wants to be a real British, if he wants to be recognized by ordinary people in the UK, he must contribute enough to Britain, and he must win enough honor for Britain.

And today, the temptation of a "hero of the British Empire", an opportunity to make Farah's dream come true, is enough to make Farah desperate for it!

……

Not far away, Zhang Guan's expression was a little dignified.

"It's not easy to win today's game!" Zhang Guan sighed silently in his heart.

5,000 meters was originally a strong man, and after Zhang Guan joined in, it formed a "catfish effect".

Long-distance running has a major characteristic, that is, everyone is fast and everyone is slow, so in some competitions, the organizers often invite some "rabbit" runners to lead in order to make the athletes' speed faster.

Of course, there are no rabbit runners in a competition at this level of the Olympics, and there will be no athletes leading the way in front, but since Zhang Guan broke the world record of 10,000 meters, the situation has been different. Originally, everyone was an athlete of the same level, and suddenly a person who could break the world record appeared, which is like a catfish in a school of sardines, and the other participating athletes will definitely subconsciously increase their rhythm. This may be more effective than finding a "rabbit" player.

Zhang Guan looked around, and Farah's eager look came into his eyes.

"Farah looks excited!" Zhang Guan sighed lightly, and then noticed the Ethiopian Legion.

Ethiopia, the No. 1 country in long-distance running, sent three runners, the strongest of whom was Gebremeskol, who once ran a good time of 12 minutes and 53 seconds, which has already surpassed Bekele's Olympic record. It can be said that Gebremeskel also has the quality to win the championship.

On the other side, the U.S. team sent three competitors, and the top of the U.S. team was veteran Ragat, a Kenyan naturalized player born into a family of middle-distance runners. In addition to the 5,000 meters, Lagat also runs 1,500 meters. It is worth mentioning that Lagat's wife is a Chinese Canadian and his coach is also a Chinese, so Lagatt can speak a few simple Chinese.

Ramz, Gebremeskel and Ragat, along with a Zhang Guan, are the four most likely to win the 5,000m.

……

A gunshot rang out from the starter, and the game officially began.

As Zhang Guan expected before the competition, although there were no rabbit players, the athletes were moving faster. The Americans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, and Britain's Farah did not opt for conservative tactics, opting instead for a more aggressive style of running.

"Yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to run fast!" Zhang Guan used the follow-up run and blended in the middle of the group.

Zhang Guan wanted to break another world record, but before that, Zhang Guan was worried that other runners would not run fast, which would affect his results, but now it seems that all the speeds are very good, and running at this speed is very hopeful to break the world record.

In the first two laps, everyone was in the same group, and there was not much gap between them. After all, it is a player who dares to participate in the Olympic Games, and his strength will not be too bad, and in the first two laps, even if the speed is relatively fast, no one will be left behind.

The world record in this event is 12 minutes and 37 seconds held by Bekele, so after two and a half minutes, Zhang Guan did not continue to use the following run, but switched to a fixed-speed run.

At the moment when Zhang Guan switched to fixed-speed running, the speed difference between him and other runners was clearly reflected.

Zhang Guan set a speed that could break the world record, and if the other competitors could have this kind of speed, they would have broken the world record a long time ago.

I saw Zhang Guan stand out from the team and quickly rushed to the front.

"Does Zhang Guan want to take the lead? Do we follow or don't follow? ”

"It's fast enough now, if we keep up, will we not be able to hold out in the second half of the race?"

"Zhang Guan's current speed is too much for physical exertion, so he can't keep up!"

The other fifteen players had different minds and made different choices. Some people chose to speed up and follow Zhang Guan, while others did not choose to follow, but continued to maintain their original rhythm.

In the 2000m, Zhang Guan was in the lead, followed by three Ethiopians, three Americans and Britain's Farah. The two Konya runners did not choose to follow, but ran at their own pace.

After 3,000 meters, Ethiopia's Watt and Omeri and America's Romon have fallen behind, and they can't keep up with Zhang's lead.

At 3,500 meters, another American runner, Rupp, gradually slowed down. At this time, only Britain's Farah, Ethiopia's Gebremeskell and American Lagart were able to keep up with Zhang's pace.

After 4,000 meters, Lagat was also thrown away, and there were only two people left behind Zhang Guan.

……

"Zhang Guan can still maintain such a fast speed! Isn't he tired? Gebremeskele's expression was hideous, and he was almost unable to bear it.

Gebremeskell glanced at Farah beside him, gritting his teeth and trying to maintain his speed.

"If Farah can keep up, I'll be able to keep up! I'm not going to lose to Farah! ”

But in the next second, Gebremeskele's legs began to be a little disobedient.

Gebremeskell is still holding on, but his faith has not been able to overcome physical exhaustion.

"If you can't keep up, you're going to lose!" Gebremeskell was unwilling.

In the past, Ethiopia was the number one country in long-distance running, and it was even more common to win the top three.

And now, as the No. 1 player in Ethiopia, he has lost in the following stage, and he has lost to two people.

However, this is competitive sports, it has nothing to do with nationality, only strength.

The glory of the past can only represent the past, and any abnormal game is a new beginning, and the winner is king!

In the next second, Gebremeskell was thrown away by the two leading two......
