Chapter 478: Triathlon Wins the Championship
The race entered the final five kilometers, and it was also the most difficult moment for the participants. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The speed of the runners began to slow down, and no one was able to maintain the pace at which they had just started, in fact, for the vast majority of people, every step now is a test of willpower. Many of the players are already moving forward mechanically, reflexively.
Everyone slowed down, except for Zhang Guan, who still maintained the speed he had just started. This speed, which was relatively slow ten minutes ago, has become a relatively fast one now.
From time to time, the camera will focus on Zhang Guan, and every time Zhang Guan appears on the TV screen, Coach Yamane's face twitches, because she can see that Zhang Guan's speed is not gradually slowing down as she imagined.
In the studio hall of the TV station, whenever there is a picture of Zhang Guan, Director Qi Mu always deliberately finds a topic and does not talk about Zhang Guan on the broadcast screen.
At this time, Coach Saiki was full of fire, and he had already made up his mind not long ago, saying that as the game continued, Zhang Guan's will definitely get slower and slower, and the Japanese player will definitely be able to catch up with or even surpass Zhang Guan. But judging from the pictures transmitted from the scene, behind Zhang Guan, even the shadow of the Japanese player could not be seen.
"Slapped in the face!" Director Qi Mu looked at the TV screen awkwardly, at this time he didn't want to see Zhang Guan's picture on the TV, whenever Zhang Guan appeared on the screen, it seemed to be mocking his judgment, but the race has entered the last 2 kilometers, and the camera will be aimed at the leader most of the time.
In the last two kilometers, Zhang Guan still maintained the speed at the beginning, and the ownership of the championship has lost suspense.
"Zhang Guan should be winning!" Coach He's original nervousness has gradually faded away, replaced by an excited expression.
In the last kilometer, there were already a lot of spectators on both sides of the track, and at the end of the distance, the reporters had already rushed out of the rest area, aiming their cameras at the finish line, ready to go.
In the last 500 meters, Zhang Guan had already appeared in front of everyone, the camera began to shoot, and the shutter of the camera gradually sounded.
"Zhang Guan is here, rush the line! Champion! Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning the Asian Triathlon Championships! Although the narrator said this, there was no excitement in his tone. After all, the Japanese team, which had high hopes, lost the game.
"Lost! We lost! Hideki Yamane was not far away, witnessing Zhang Guan cross the ribbon in front of the finish line, and then slowly stopped, and the next second, the photojournalists had already rushed up and surrounded Zhang Guan in the middle.
The referee has confirmed Zhang Guan's final result, and until now, Hideki Yamane has not dared to accept this result. This time the loss was too sudden and too unforeseen.
When it comes to triathlons, Japan has always been the number one in Asia and has always maintained an absolute monopoly. But today, this monopoly was suddenly broken, and the person who broke this monopoly was Zhang Guan, a contestant who was considered to be selling advertisements before the game.
What's more, this time Asia is a triathlon World Championships, not an ordinary competition, she is also a qualifier for the London Olympics.
There is only one place in the whole of Asia to qualify for the London Olympics, which is nothing in the eyes of triathlon powers such as Britain, the United States and Australia, but for Asian countries, it is extremely precious.
The Japanese team thought that this place had been completely included in their own pockets, but they didn't expect to win a championship halfway.
……
The results of the triathlon Asian Championships were surprising, after all, before the game, people who followed the event thought that Zhang Guan was just here to stand for the sponsors, even if it was the organizer of the event, they only regarded Zhang Guan as a commercial mascot, but the final result was that the mascot won the championship, which was indeed a big surprise.
After the match, Japan, as the host, did not report the results of the game at length. First, triathlon is not the world's top sport, and second, the Japanese team did not win the championship, and the home audience was disappointed.
As the absolute advantage of the Japanese team, and it is to hold the game on its own home field, but in the end the Japanese did not win the championship, this kind of thing is not worth showing off by the Japanese media, even if it is reported, the audience will definitely not like to watch it, so it is better to keep a low profile.
And the domestic media did not carry out any vigorous special reports, it would be good to be able to give a sports version of the headlines, many sports media just reported an ordinary news on the spot, a few paragraphs of text with a few pictures, this is still for the sake of Zhang Guan's face. If there is no Zhang Guan, there may only be a newsletter report, and there may not even be a picture.
Although triathlon is an Olympic event, the domestic mass base is too low, and there have been no results for a long time, and the attention is naturally very low. Go out on the street and grab someone and ask what a triathlon is, and if you can name the three sports of swimming, cycling, and long-distance running, even if it is very good, as for how far is swimming? How far does the bike go? How far do you have to run a long run? I'm afraid that few people can answer it.
It is also for this reason that the news of Zhang Guan's victory in the Asian Triathlon Championship was quickly drowned out in other news. Especially now that it is the last month of the NBA regular season, and the next day there are many teams such as the Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs that are loved by domestic fans, so the attention to the Triathlon Asian Championship only lasted for one night, and the attention of sports fans shifted to the NBA court the next day.
As for European and American countries, they will not pay attention to the triathlon Asian Championships at all, even if the name of the final champion is Zhang Guan.
Countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom hold hundreds of triathlon competitions every year, and the level of their domestic tryouts is even better than that of the Olympic Games, which is much higher than the Asian Championships. For European and American countries, Asian triathlons are too weak to be paid attention to. As for Zhang Guan's final championship, for these triathlon powers in Europe and the United States, it is more like an after-dinner joke. No one will pay special attention to Zhang Guan's triathlon level, and no one will regard Zhang Guan as their rival.
For European and American countries, no matter how strong Asia's triathlon is, how strong can it be? There is no threat to them at all.
This is also a normal phenomenon, if one day, Bolt won the table tennis championship in the Caribbean, I believe that those table tennis powers in Asia will not care, and will only treat this matter as a joke, and no one will really study how Bolt plays. In their opinion, the level of table tennis in Caribbean countries, no matter how powerful it is, it is just being beaten.
Zhang Guan's schedule was very tight, and the day after the game, Zhang Guan flew back to China.
After stepping off the flight, Zhang Guan turned on his phone, only to see three missed calls, as well as a text message.
"It's Huang Weida, three phone calls, and a text message, it looks like I'm in a hurry! Is there something wrong with the investment? Zhang Guan opened the text message and saw Huang Weida's message.
"Urgent, see the quick return call!" (To be continued.) )
