Chapter 524: Sebastian's Doom
August 12, London time, the last day of competition at the London Olympics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So far, the British team has won a total of 19 gold medals, which has not exceeded the 20 mark, and in the last Olympic Games, the British delegation also won 19 gold medals, which means that the British team's results are the same as the last Olympic Games, there is no improvement or regression.
But considering that this is England's home game, the situation is completely different. Under the home advantage, the results have not improved in the slightest, which is tantamount to regression. This is really a bit too embarrassing for the UK.
"At least one more gold medal! Finally brought the number of gold medals to 20. ”
That's what many Britons are saying.
The 19 gold medals and the 20 gold medals are only one difference, but for the British, they have completely different meanings. The addition of this gold medal means that the number of gold medals has entered the 20 mark, and it means that the British delegation has improved compared to the previous Olympic Games.
And on the final day of the London Olympics, the British have a chance to challenge for a 20th gold medal, and more than one.
In the women's modern pentathlon, four of them have been contested, and Great Britain's Samantha Murray has a chance to challenge for gold.
In boxing, in the men's welterweight category, also known as 69kg, Great Britain's Fred Evans reached the final.
Also in boxing, Anthony Joshua, who is known as the most promising young fighter in the UK in the men's super-heavyweight category, which is over 91 kilograms, also reached the final.
In three events, even if only one won a gold medal, the face of the British Empire was barely saved.
……
The first thing to come to the news was the scene of the women's modern pentathlon. Today's competition was the final shooting event, in which Belarus finished first, Lithuania second, and China third.
In terms of total points, Lithuania's Lao La Asadausket won the gold medal with a total score of 5,408 points and broke the Olympic record. And Britain's Samantha Murray Murray won the silver medal with 5,346 points. The British's hopes of winning the first gold medal were dashed.
In the men's 69kg category, Great Britain's Fred Evans faces Kazakhstan's Serik Sapiev.
Evans won the European Championships last year, so the British had high hopes for him, and many British spectators thought Evans could win the gold medal, but after the start of the competition, Evans' performance was a big disappointment.
In the first round, Evans trailed Sapiev 2-4, and in the second round, Evans continued to trail Sapiev 3-6, and in just two rounds, Evans trailed by five points.
The British audience is probably the most boxing viewer in the world, and at this time they have already seen that Sapiev's strength is indeed higher than Evans, and it is impossible for Evans to win.
Sure enough, the final overall score was 17-9, Evans lost to Sapiev and only won a silver medal, and 17-9 is basically a relatively large gap in amateur boxing.
"Evans lost too! The 20th gold medal is hopeless. The surrounding audience looked a little disappointed.
"The next one is the final in the 81kg category, and the next one is the final in the 91kg and above category, and then Anthony Joshua will be on the pitch and we will still be hoping to win the 20th gold medal!"
"Anthony Joshua? That genius boxer? I know him, the winner of the 2009 and 2010 Xia Lingji Box Cup, the 2010 and 2011 ABAE Classic, the 2011 World Championships, and he is the best in amateur boxing! ”
"That's right, it's said that after the London Olympics, Anthony Joshua is going to go into professional boxing. He has the confidence to play professionally, which means that his current level should not be very far from professional boxing, and he is also a quasi-professional fighter! Quasi-professional players come to the Olympics and have a real chance of winning the championship! ”
"Didn't the little Klitschko also enter the professional level after the Olympics, and Anthony Joshua may become the next little Klitschko! He can definitely sweep his opponent to win, and the 20th gold medal of our British team will be up to Anthony Joshua. By the way, who is Anthony Joshua's opponent? ”
"Let me see...... What the? Zhang Guan! Anthony Joshua's opponent turned out to be Zhang Guan! ”
The scene suddenly became silent. The confidence of the British audience in Anthony Joshua was also lost at this moment.
Anthony Joshua can really be called a quasi-professional fighter, and he is indeed invincible in the amateur game, but when it comes to a real professional fighter, Anthony Joshua is not enough.
Anthony Joshua is also a talented boxer, and in the eyes of British fans, he could be the next Klitschko Jr. This time, however, he met the same opponent who knocked Klitschko Jr. out. Not to mention the "next" Klitschko Jr. in the future, even if Klitschko Jr. came in person, he would have to be beaten down by Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan, why did you meet Zhang Guan again! Is it just that our British team can only stop at 19 gold medals? ”
……
In the final match of the Olympic boxing match, Zhang Guan faced Anthony Joshua.
Anthony Joshua is playing at home, and it is already in the final, and he certainly does not want to lose, even if he was hit by Zhang Guan's heavy punches several times in the first round, Anthony Joshua still insisted on standing on the stage of the second round.
So, now he's on the ground, and he's knocked out by Zhang.
Knockouts in the Olympics are not uncommon in taekwondo, but they are rare in boxing. Because the Olympic Games are equipped with protective gear, especially the protective gear worn on the head, it can effectively protect the athletes from fainting due to concussion.
The fight with the ring is mainly with the legs, and the strength of the legs is much stronger than the strength of the arms, so it is possible to be knocked out while wearing a protective gear. In boxing, especially in the finals, only the American Rader knocked out Cuba's Duvihull at the Atlanta Olympics.
And today, the second knockout of the Olympic final was born. Zhang Guan knocked out Anthony Joshua in the second round of the contest.
"Anthony Joshua got knocked out?"
"Aren't you wearing protective gear? If you are beaten and stunned with protective gear, won't you be beaten to death if you don't wear protective gear? ”
"Hey, the miracle didn't happen, Anthony really lost to Zhang Guan!"
"I still haven't won the 20th gold medal! The London Olympics may become an eternal pain in the hearts of our generation of Britons! ”
……
On the TV, Zhang Guan waved his arms and celebrated his victory.
Sebastian pressed the remote button, turned off the TV, picked up the box containing his personal belongings, and walked out of the office.
In the corridor, people still came and went, but everyone seemed to not see him, and almost everyone stayed away from him.
The elevator came, Sebastian walked in, and the few people who originally wanted to enter the elevator together, seeing that it was Sebastian, pretended to chat, pretended to send text messages, pretended to read documents, and even pretended to squat down to tie their shoes, obviously these people did not intend to enter the same elevator as Sebastian.
Before that, Sebastian would have the same situation every day, because he was the president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, and those subordinates did not dare to sit in the same elevator as the big leaders.
But today the situation is completely different. The so-called people go tea cool, it is more reasonable Sebastian or in such an embarrassing form, leaving the London Olympic Organizing Committee. At this time, he was like a lost dog, driven out, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
No one wants to be in the company of a lost dog!
When the elevator doors closed, Sebastian could even feel the pointing and talking of his former colleagues outside.
"Sinners of the British Empire?" A sense of sadness rose in Sebastian's heart, and a sense of chagrin rose from his heart.
At this moment, Sebastian couldn't help but think about Zhang Guan.
Sebastian would never have imagined that a mere athlete would bring him such a huge kill. As the president of the British Olympic Organizing Committee and the president of the International Athletics Federation, he can be said to be the most powerful person in the world sports world. Born now, he was pulled down from the position of president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee by an "ant".
"Zhang Guan! You wait for me, I'm still the president of the IAAF, and sooner or later I will take revenge for today! Sebastian thought viciously.
……
On August 12, the last day of the London Olympics, on the afternoon of this day, a piece of news quietly appeared.
"Mr. Sebastian, President of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, has resigned as President of the London Organising Committee today!"
When Zhang Guan saw the news, he had already finished his boxing match and began to prepare for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in the evening.
"Sebastian has resigned!" When Zhang Guan saw this news, he had a feeling of comfort and happiness in his heart.
As the president of the Olympic Organizing Committee, he voluntarily resigned before the end of the Olympic Games, and anyone can see that Sebastian was ousted, and the so-called voluntary resignation is just to make the London Olympics look a little more decent.
And when you think that the process of the London Olympics was not so smooth, and there were many scandals in it, Sebastian's resignation can be interpreted more meaning.
At least the French delegation seemed quite excited about the news. Since the fake fall in the cycling team event, the French delegation has been in turmoil for more than a week, and now Sebastian, who is the president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, has resigned, which can be regarded as an explanation to the French team. The bosses of the Olympic Organizing Committee have stepped down, and the French team has accepted it when it is good, and there is no continued trouble.
In the UK, Sebastian's resignation can be regarded as calming a certain amount of public anger, at least after the news was released, the crowd of protesters in front of the London Olympic Organizing Committee gradually dispersed, and some even ran to the tavern to celebrate as if the England team had won.
For the London Olympics, Sebastian's resignation can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone, not only to appease those foreign delegations led by France who are dissatisfied with the London Olympics, but also to appease those people at home who are dissatisfied with the results of the British team.
The only person who was hurt was probably Sebastian himself, at least it had a big impact on his resignation.
If Sebastian resigns after the London Olympics, then his merits and demerits will be commented on by posterity, and once many things become "posterity", there will be a "dialectic" situation, and even the bad parts can be directly denied.
But Sebastian resigned during the London Olympics, which is obviously a resignation, and "blame" refers to attributing fault to himself, that is, Sebastian admitted that he was at fault, which cannot be cleared of himself by either "dialectic" or denial.
……
At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Sebastian was not present. The handover of the Olympic flame was also handed over by the Mayor of London to the President of the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee.
However, Zhang Guan knew that this was not the end.
"Diack, you should have gathered enough evidence! Maybe in a few days, he should do it! ”
……
September 12, the third day of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The American people had just finished commemorating the tragedy of that year, and many media outlets such as C+ TV and Sport France broke the shocking news that Mr. Sebastian, the former president of the London Olympic Committee and the current president of the IAAF, used his power to seek personal benefits for British athletes!
Sebastian is British, and it is normal for him to be slightly partial to his own country, as long as he is not too out of line, he will not attract serious prosecution. However, this time the French media broke out a very outrageous behavior.
Sebastian helps British athletes with doping!
Doping is always a taboo in sports and a topic that can never be avoided in competitive sports. It's not just about fair play, it's about the ethics of athletes.
According to the information given by the French media, British athletes, as long as they apply for doping exemptions, have a 100% chance of passing, while athletes from other countries have a pass rate of less than 10%!
As soon as the news came out, the Russian Athletics Federation immediately jumped out, and the number of track and field athletes in Russia is second only to the United States, and the strength of track and field is also second only to the United States. More than 200 of their athletes apply for doping exemptions a year, but they can't even pass 10 of them, and the Russian Athletics Federation has long complained about this.
Subsequently, the athletic associations of some African countries, Caribbean countries, Latin American countries, and even Asian countries also stood up one after another to express their support for a thorough investigation of the matter.
Athletics is a sport that has been affected by doping, and half of the athletes who have been found to have used doping are track and field athletes. However, in this "doping exemption" incident, only the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia really benefited.
For athletes from other countries, why can you use doping legally in athletes in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, while we are tired of training and half dead but can't make progress in performance! If you want to use stimulants, you should use them together.
And more importantly, Diack, the former president of the IAAF, has been secretly fueling the troubles, and he is constantly using his power to start targeting Sebastian.
The internal enemy is always the most terrible.
A week later, within the IAAF, there was finally a proposal to impeach President Sebastian!
The end of Sebastian is finally coming.
