Chapter 511: Breaking the Record Again (Happy New Year to All)
A news that the British Olympic Organizing Committee manipulated the results of the competition and determined the champion of the competition swept the media all over the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The final score of the champion and runner-up in the gymnastics rings final appeared in the newspaper a few hours earlier, and the news alone was enough to attract every reader. Many people believed the news.
The idea of ordinary people is very simple, if the champion is not determined, why would the player's score be exposed in advance?
At the same time, the video of the rings final has also become the most popular video on major portals, especially the video of the match between the champion Zanetti and the runner-up Chen Dabing, which has been made into a video of comparison and put on the video network.
Ordinary viewers may not understand which action is more difficult and which is less difficult, but the quality of the athlete's completion can still be seen by ordinary people. Especially the small step back when Zanetti landed, compared to Chen Dabing standing firmly on the ground like a nail, even the audience who watched gymnastics for the first time knew that Zanetti's performance was not as good as Chen Dabing.
But in the end, Zanetti's score was higher than Chen Dabing's, which was obviously not a convincing score, so more people believed that the London Olympic Organizing Committee's internal championship was true.
There are also some gymnastics professionals or gymnastics celebrities, who have come forward to make various comments after watching the video, brushing up on their sense of achievement. From a professional point of view, Chen Dabing's performance is indeed perfect, and in comparison, Zanetti is really flawed, almost all gymnastics professionals and gymnastics celebrities believe that Zanetti should not score higher than Chen Dabing.
With this group of professionals who came out to brush up on the sense of accomplishment, the wind direction of public opinion instantly became one-sided. Almost everyone felt that the London Organising Committee had set the gold medal in control of the competition. If it's not an internal decision, why would people with worse performance score higher?
What's more, before that, there were more than one scandal in the London Olympics, and the matter of bribing the referee for the fake fall of the bicycle was even more uproarious, and it has not subsided until now, which is equivalent to a criminal record. Now there is another thing about manipulating the championship in the competition, and many people subjectively believe that it must be the problem of the London Olympic Organizing Committee.
……
The London Organising Committee had a disastrous day.
For the London Olympic Organizing Committee, there is nothing more serious than this accusation, compared to the "bicycle bribery gate" and "rowing bribery door" a few days ago, it is nothing at all.
From a criminological point of view, bribery of referees is of course much more serious than game manipulation, bribery can be counted as a commercial crime, and game manipulation is at most a matter of internal management.
But for the London Organising Committee, the accusations of match-fixing are more serious than bribery.
Bribery is the personal behavior of some people and can be interpreted as a lack of morality on the part of those who accept bribes. The Olympic Organizing Committee can be justified as follows: It's not the London Olympic Organizing Committee that asked you to accept bribes, and your moral character is not good, so you can't rely on the Olympic Organizing Committee! Besides, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are so many staff members in the Olympic Organizing Committee, isn't it normal to have one or two black sheep?
But it's a different story to control the competition, the London Organising Committee is the organizer of the competition, and its task is to ensure that the competition runs fairly and impartially. Manipulating the results of the competition and awarding the gold medal must be explained simply by the actions of individuals at the London Organising Committee, which can be regarded as an official act. For the organizers of the competition, if the gold medal can be decided, it is better to find a few actors directly and organize a performance according to the script!
No matter what kind of sport it is, fair play is the first element. For example, during the Cold War, the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union boycotted each other's games, in addition to political factors and ideological confrontations, one of the reasons for not being treated fairly on each other's home turf was also one of the reasons.
This is especially true of the Olympics. Although there are some controversial competitions at every Olympic Games, at least on the surface, the Olympics still have to wear the coat of the "Olympic spirit". Mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play are at the heart of the modern Olympic spirit and the foundation for the hosting of the Olympic Games.
Therefore, manipulating the results of the competition and determining the gold medal is tantamount to directly bringing a big shovel on the basis of the Olympic Games. It's like a high-rise building, the windows can be replaced, the wall skin can be repaired, even if the frame structure is damaged, it can be repaired, but if the foundation is damaged, the building will really fall.
……
"Sir, we definitely don't have a gold medal! I can vouch for it with my personality! Sebastian looked terrified. Because the call came from Buckingham Palace.
Although the royal family has no authority in the UK, its status is very lofty and is a spiritual symbol of the British. For Sebastian, the Prime Minister's official residence at 6 Downing Street may not be enough to make him panic, but Buckingham Palace is willing to let him sacrifice his knees. It's not about power, it's all about the exalted respect that an Englishman has for the royal family.
The royal family doesn't bother in political affairs on weekdays, but the gold medal incident that just happened has affected the face of the United Kingdom. For the royal family, the most valuable thing they have left now is probably face, so at this time, even Buckingham Palace called to ask about this matter.
"Mr. President, I hope you can resolve this matter properly as soon as possible." He spoke on the other side of the phone.
"Yes, I'll fix it as soon as possible." Sebastian said categorically.
Sebastian's tone was full of confidence, but there was no solution in his heart.
The most failed Olympic Games, the term keeps coming to Sebastian's mind, and from the current situation, the scandalous London Olympics may really be the most failed Olympics.
"What to do? What am I going to do? Sebasti had a hunch that perhaps his political career in Britain was coming to an end.
……
While Sebastian is responding to this crisis, IOC President Rogge is also convening a meeting.
At every Olympic Games, the host country will always have some privileges, either the referees will be more lenient in their decisions, or they will be more accommodating in terms of game time...... In short, in some respects, the IOC allows the host country to be "presumptuous".
However, this year's London Olympics has broken out one after another scandals, and the current gold medal incident has exceeded the scope allowed by the International Olympic Committee.
"We were too tolerant of the London Organising Committee." President Rogge continued: "Or rather, the London Organising Committee has gone too far! ”
"Mr. President, should we give the London Organising Committee some warning? Let them converge a little? Someone next to him spoke.
"Yes." Rogge nodded, and continued: "Say hello to the Anti-Doping Committee and ask them to organize a temporary sampling of British athletes, not too large, but be sure to let the London Organising Committee know." I think the London Organising Committee understands what we mean. ”
……
At the Velodrome, the final of the track cycling individual sprint will begin between Zhang Guan and Great Britain's Jason Kenny.
In the quarter-finals last night, Zhang Guan had the better fortune to face his opponent, American Watkins, who was not the best player, and Zhang Guan beat Watkins to advance.
And this morning's semi-finals, Zhang Guan faced a real challenge against France's Gregory Beauge.
Boge won the World Cycling Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2012 and is arguably the strongest athlete outside of the British team.
The race was also quite thrilling for Zhang Guan, and in the first game, Boge led all the way to the finish line and won the victory.
Perhaps it was too easy to win the first game, Boge relaxed a little in the second game, and was won by Zhang Guan in the second game.
In the third game of the contest between the two sides, Zhang Guan chose to take the lead and began to lead the ride in the second lap, Boge wanted to follow Zhang Guan, looking for an opportunity to attack, but he didn't expect this to follow until the end of the game, until Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, and he failed to overtake Zhang Guan.
In the other semi-final match, Britain's Jason Kenny faced Costa Rica player Philip, whose strength was the weakest of the four semi-finalists, which was obviously equivalent to guaranteeing Jason Kenny to the final.
Jason Kenny is currently ranked No. 1 in the sprint event, having finished silver in the last Olympics with his compatriot "Sir "Jazz" Hoy. In the UK, Kenny is also known as Hoy's successor. At this year's Olympics, Hoy did not compete in the sprint, and Kenny took on the responsibility of winning the gold medal for Great Britain.
……
"I thought the opponent in the final would be Bo Ge, but I really didn't expect it to be Zhang Guan!" Kenny's mood was a little irritated at this time, as he had no understanding of Zhang's technical characteristics.
France's Boge is Kenny's old rival, the two of them have almost swept the top two in the world championships in recent years, and they are also very familiar with each other's technical characteristics and riding rhythm, so it can be said that they already know each other.
But in Kenny's eyes, Zhang Guan is a completely unfamiliar opponent, especially on an important stage like the Olympic final, and Kenny does not want to encounter an unknown.
Next to him, the coach of the British team, who was holding the bicycle for Zhang Guan, coughed dryly, causing Kenny to come back to his senses and focus on the field!
In order to ensure fairness, the competition requires the coach to hold the opponent's bicycle, that is, the British coach is Zhang Guan, and the Chinese team coach is Kenny.
The starter gave the order, and the race began, and the coaches of both sides let go almost at the same time, and the two drivers also began to move forward, but the speed of both was relatively slow, and the two kept a relatively safe distance.
Kenny didn't understand Zhang's reality, so he was very conservative, and didn't dare to accelerate immediately until the second lap.
Zhang Guan didn't pay attention to it so much, and started to pick up speed directly on the second lap. Kenny immediately stepped up to take advantage of the wake generated by Zhang's ride.
However, what Kenny didn't expect was that Zhang Guan's acceleration was very fast, and Zhang Guan was almost halfway through the second lap, and Zhang Guan was almost the fastest accelerating.
"Why is Zhang Guan so fast? This is not yet in the final lap, there is no need to be so fast, is it a trap? To deliberately lure me into being fooled? Should I follow? Kenny smacked for a moment.
It was this hesitation that didn't immediately follow, Zhang Guan had already widened the distance, and Kenny could not continue to take advantage of Zhang Guan's wake.
"Don't worry, Zhang Guan accelerated in advance, which means that he consumed his physical strength in advance, and when it came to the last lap, I would burst out with all my might, and I would definitely be able to catch up." Kenny thought to himself.
As he entered the final lap, Kenny pushed his speed to the extreme.
However, the distance between him and Zhang Guan has not narrowed in any way, and Zhang Guan's speed has reached the extreme.
Cycling is not a sprint, and in track cycling, there is not much difference between the fastest speeds, and the real competition is who can sustain the explosiveness for longer, and this is what Kenny is good at.
Unfortunately, Kenny found the wrong opponent in today's race, and no matter how strong the cyclist's continued explosiveness is, how can he compare to the sprinter!
"Oops, can't catch up! I should have followed him just now. By the time Kenny realized this, it was too late.
Zhang Guan was a long distance ahead of Kenny, crossing the finish line first, winning the first game.
……
"Zhang Guan's speed in this game is very fast, maybe it can reach less than 10 seconds!" Kenny glides around the track while looking at Zhang Guan in front of him.
In track cycling, there are three laps to be ridden, but only the last lap is recorded. By the time the rider entered the final lap, the speed had been increased to the extreme, so the final lap was ridden at full speed. A lap of the bike is 200 meters, and the world's top male athletes ride a lap at full speed for a little over 10 seconds. A time of less than 10 seconds is the best player in the world, and it is difficult to do it.
At this moment, there was a commotion and exclamation in the arena.
Kenny turned his head to look at the score display on the wall, which showed that Zhang Guan's results had been given.
9.757 seconds!
Kenny took a breath of cold air.
"9.757 seconds! My God! The record held by Sir Hoy was broken by Zhang Guan! ”
