The track cycling competition faked the fall in an uproar, and the "Observer" because of the correct revelations, the sales of the newspaper increased significantly, and 10,000 copies were printed yesterday, all of which were also sold out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Charlie, the editor-in-chief, was naturally the most excited, and at this time he was cross-legged and fiddled with the letter in his hand.
"Advertisement, bill, bill, bill, whistleblower, advertisement...... Wait, breaking the news! Charlie sat up straight, looked at the envelope with "Breaking News" written on it, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
"Breaking the news, here it is again!" Charlie didn't hesitate to open the envelope, and this time, there were two checks and a few pieces of paper inside.
Charlie was the first to pick up the checks, one for 20,000 euros and the other for 10,000 euros. Charlie opened the sheets again, and the first page was based on a letter.
The letter told Charlie that the cheque for 20,000 euros was the final payment for the last time, and the cheque for 10,000 euros was a deposit, and if the Observer was willing to publish the following contents, it would still get a sponsorship fee of 30,000 euros.
"Here we go again!" Charlie immediately flipped through the next few pages of revelations.
Here's how: Team Great Britain has developed a winning strategy for the men's lightweight double sculls, and if the start doesn't go well, they will cause an accident by deliberately breaking the cabin of the rowing and then have a rerace. And in order for the referee to cooperate with allowing the British team to replay, the British have already conveyed monetary benefits to the relevant personnel!
The content of this revelation is similar to the previous one, except that the event has changed to the men's lightweight double sculls of rowing, and the method has also changed to deliberately damaging the cockpit of rowing.
After reading this revelation, Charlie gasped.
"Looks like tomorrow's newspaper is going to be reprinted again!"
ā¦ā¦
Today, Zhang Guan competed in two events, namely the semi-finals of tennis and the qualifying round of the long jump.
In the semi-finals of tennis, Zhang Guan met the tournament's second seed, Novak Djokovic.
Last year's Djokovic won three Grand Slam titles, but this year's Djokovic had some bad luck, after the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Djokovic was knocked out of a series of Masters tournaments, and the French king and Wimbledon also lost to Nadal and Federer respectively.
When it came to the Olympics, Djokovic almost capsized in his first match, and then faced Australia's Hewitt with a lot of struggle. finally entered the semi-finals and met Zhang Guan again.
Zhang Guan won two 7-5 against Djokovic. Speaking of which, Zhang Guan's play today is not too good, especially in the first set, the scoring rate drops to 70% after a successful serve, you must know that in normal times, Zhang Guan's scoring rate can reach 90% after a successful serve. And in the whole game, Zhang Guan only broke serve in two games.
In the other semi-final after that, the host player Murray defeated Federer with a disparity of 6-3 and 6-2!
Murray didn't meet Federer until the final at the historic London Olympics, but Nadal didn't play at that time, so Murray was the third seed. But now because of Nadal's participation, Murray is the fourth seed, so he meets Federer in the semi-finals.
But the result of the game did not change, Federer still lost to Murray, who was really in good shape at home, and Federer, the king of grass, was difficult to parry.
The tennis final will be held the day after tomorrow, when Murray and Zhang Guan will compete for the title.
ā¦ā¦
At half past six in the afternoon, Zhang Guan appeared at the main venue of the London Olympics, where he was going to participate in the men's long jump qualifying round, which was also the first track and field event Zhang Guan participated in.
A total of 42 players participated in the qualifying round, and the top 12 advanced to the finals, which was quite competitive.
The world record holder in the long jump event is Zhang Guan, so Zhang Guan did not hide his clumsiness, and jumped 8.23 meters on the first attempt, and this result was enough to ensure that Zhang Guan entered the final.
ā¦ā¦
On August 4, Zhang Guan ushered in his most difficult competition day. In the morning and afternoon, he competes in the preliminary and semi-finals of the individual track cycling sprint, while in the evening he competes in the long jump final and in the evening there is a track and field 10,000m battle.
In the individual sprint event of track cycling, only two competitors participate in each competition. The race is a total of three laps, and the winner is the first to cross the finish line, so the race is also called the sprint. However, when the results are calculated at the end of the race, only the results of the last lap will be included in the record.
In cycling, the rider behind can take advantage of the wake of the rider in front, while the runner in the lead needs to face the resistance of the air. Therefore, in the first lap of the race, the competitors often choose to ride slower, or even deliberately run to the outer circle, putting the opponent in front of the opponent, so that the opponent can face the air resistance, while they use the wake to move forward.
On the second lap, the athletes start to accelerate, and they have to increase their speed to the top of their speed as they enter the third lap. Because the third lap is the decisive one, if you wait until the third lap to start picking up the speed, it will be too late.
The third lap is the last lap of the race, and by the time we enter the third lap, the speed of the riders is often increased to the extreme, and they will finish the lap as fast as possible. For the men, they completed a 200-meter lap at full speed, taking only 10 seconds.
So for viewers who don't know the sport, they will find the game look strange. On the first lap, it was a matter of who rode slower, as neither rider was willing to ride against air resistance in front; On the second lap, the player's acceleration is also full of scheming, and it is likely to be just a pretended acceleration in order to get the opponent to the front; Wait until the third lap for the most exciting moment of the race.
In the track cycling individual sprint at the London Olympics, the preliminary and semi-final stages are a one-game winner, and the winner will advance to the next round, while the loser will need to participate in the repechage, and the winner of the repechage can also advance to the next round, if the repechage also loses, they will be eliminated directly. In other words, the preliminary round and the semi-final are actually a single-game double-elimination format.
When it comes to the quarterfinals, it becomes a best-of-three system, and there is no repechage at this stage, and the winner advances to the loser and is eliminated.
And Zhang Guan is going to participate in the preliminary round and semi-finals today, that is, a single-game double-defeat game.
Zhang Guan's opponent in the preliminary round was Malaysian cyclist Mohd Ngawang, who is arguably the most powerful track cyclist in Asia, but if it is placed on a global scale, it is not worth mentioning. Zhang Guan didn't have to exert all his strength at all, and he won the victory.
In the rematch, Zhang Guan met a Czech player named Klamen. Klamen's strength was not among the best in the world, and Zhang Guan won again and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals.
Track cycling, the four countries of Western Europe that are truly strong: Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium. The United States, the world's largest sports power, is far inferior to the four Western European countries in track cycling, although it is very good at road cycling. Therefore, as long as he does not meet players from Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium, it is not a challenge for Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan is more concerned about the Eton Doni Rowing Centre in west London.
ā¦ā¦
While Zhang Guan competes in the individual cycling sprint, the final of the men's lightweight double sculls is being held at the Etondon Dhoni Rowing Centre, 25 kilometres west of London.
A total of six teams advanced to the men's lightweight double sculls final: Denmark, France, Portugal, Germany, New Zealand and hosts Great Britain.
The host country's Great Britain team is also quite strong in rowing, including the lightweight double sculls, which is also one of their hopes to win gold.
With an order, the six teams moved at the same time, and the players rowed desperately with their oars.
France led the way, followed by New Zealand and Denmark, while hosts Great Britain were underwhelming, finishing fifth and just a little ahead of Great Britain.
However, at this moment, British's Pletches suddenly leaned back, and his seat immediately fell off the row. Without hesitation, Pulice raised his hand to the referee, who interrupted the match. The referee then announced that the match had restarted due to an accident.
In the press section on the sidelines, a French reporter's eyes widened in surprise, and then he immediately took out the copy of the "Observer" from his backpack, read it carefully over and over again, and then his face was suddenly full of anger.
"It's been said by the Observer again! The British are repeating their old tricks, and they bribed the referee! Do they think our French team is easy to bully? ā
ā¦ā¦
After the restart, Great Britain did take the lead all the way, but at the last moment, they were overtaken by the Danish team and won the silver medal by 0.61 seconds.
The French team, which led at the first start, only finished fourth and did not even win a medal.
The third place was a very embarrassing position, and although the results were good, they just missed the podium.
France coach Julien looked frustrated, but he pulled himself together and was ready to comfort his teammates.
"Coach Julian!" A voice rang out from the side, speaking in pure French, which made Julian immediately turn his head and look in the direction of the voice.
"Coach Julian, I'm a reporter for the team newspaper." The other party spoke.
Julien knew that the newspaper was one of the more well-known sports media in France, so he responded: "Please wait a moment, I'll be interviewed later." ā
"Coach Julian, you misunderstood, I'm not here for an interview! I'd like to ask you to take a look at this report. The reporter stretched out his hand and handed the copy of the "Observer" to Coach Julian, and said: "This newspaper once broke the news about the bribery of the British cycling team, and there are also rowing-related revelations on it. ā
Julian hesitated, but took the Observer and began to read the news on it.
"Break the seat and replay? Isn't that what just happened? Julian jerked his head up and looked at the head coach of the British team with a hateful gaze.
At this time, the head coach of the British team was still clapping his hands and celebrating his silver medal, which deeply stimulated Coach Julian.
"When we first set off, our French team was obviously ahead, but now we haven't even won a medal because of your cheating, and you Britons are celebrating in a grand manner!"
Coach Julian was completely furious, and he took three steps and two steps, rushed to the coach of the British team, and smashed him hard.
In the next second, all the reporters rushed up......
