Chrisho Hoy, the undisputed overlord of track cycling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO's current Olympic record in track cycling is 9.815 seconds set by Hoy in 2008.

Hoy must not have imagined that his Olympic record would be broken at the next Olympics four years later, and on his home turf.

"Zhang Guan broke Sir Hoy's Olympic record!"

Throughout the velodrome, the spectators were all in a panic, Hoy is a flag of British sport, and now, Zhang Guan is like a sharp pair of scissors, cutting the flag in two sections from the middle.

Moreover, in the first game, Kenny also lost, and in the best-of-three game, winning the first game means getting the match point. And the side that loses a game first is at an absolute disadvantage both in terms of situation and psychology, and the only option is to fight against the water.

Kenny's face was solemn, he should have occupied the right time and place when he was playing at home, but he lost the first game so simply. However, Kenny also knew that in the face of a final time of 9.757 seconds, he was not wronged.

"I didn't expect Zhang Guan's strength to be so strong." Kenny took a deep breath, and then he looked even more scrappy.

9.757 seconds, that's fast, but it's not out of reach for Kenny. He regularly rode under 9.8 seconds in training.

In the track cycling race, Kenny was already on par with Hoy at the Olympics four years ago, and four years later, Kenny has surpassed Hoy, and it is precisely because Kenny is strong enough that the British team has sent Kenny in this event, instead of the former overlord Sir Hoy.

"In the next game, I'm going to give it my all, and my limit is 9.6 seconds!" Kenny is ready to go.

……

"Kenny looks serious, he's ready to give it his all!"

"That's right, you should do your best from the beginning! Zhang Guan was exploited by Zhang Guan in the last game, and this game must not be careless! ”

"Kenny can win as long as he doesn't underestimate him, and we can expect the gold medal to come!"

In the audience, Kenny received the warmest applause. Although Kenny dropped the first game, the British audience was still convinced that Kenny would win.

Britain is strong enough in track cycling that British spectators never imagined that Britain would lose the race. It's like basketball for the U.S. team, even if they lose by three or four points in the first half, American fans will be convinced that they can win in the second half.

The two riders stood on the grid again, and the instructor holding the bike let go at the same time as the starter gave the order.

This time, instead of riding slower than Zhang Guan, Kenny seemed to mind leading the ride in front, but rode straight into the inner lane, and he was going to ride at his own pace.

The lead rider is more physically demanding, but for a world-class athlete like Kenny, rhythm is more important. Following behind your opponent and taking advantage of your opponent's wake can indeed save more energy. However, if you ride at a pace that you are good at, it will be easier to ride faster.

After all, what's right for you is the best.

On the first lap, Kenny didn't ride too fast or too slow, but he always kept a certain distance from Zhang, obviously not wanting to be taken advantage of. On the second lap, Kenny began to pick up speed, exactly at the pace he was used to.

Seeing this scene, Sutton, the head coach of the British team, showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Kenny is like Hoy when he was younger, talented, hard working and mentally good. Now that he has entered his own rhythm, it seems that this game is already a sure win! ”

At this time, the two players were about to enter the third lap, and the scene suddenly resounded like a volcanic eruption. If you listen closely, you can tell that there are a lot of people calling Kenny's name.

Kenny and Zhang Guan stepped forward and back, the latter's front wheel almost attached to the former's rear wheel, and the two of them raced into the third lap.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Guanmeng move to the outside.

"Zhang Guan, try to overtake on the outside! Kenny speed up! Zhang Guan didn't succeed! ”

Kenny made a brilliant defense and held his position. In fact, Kenny, who has entered his familiar rhythm, is indeed difficult to surpass.

Zhang Guan followed closely behind, ready to look for another opportunity to surpass, but Kenny is worthy of being the world's top cyclist, and his defense is simply seamless, not giving Zhang Guan the slightest chance.

"There is no chance for the time being, so let's speed up first." Zhang Guan thought to himself, he knew that if he wanted to overtake Kenny, there was one more chance, and that was the final straight sprint.

It's similar to a long-distance race in athletics, where you can follow in front, but when you enter the final straight, you must make the final sprint. It's just that the cycling course is only 200 meters, which is much shorter than the track and field field, and the speed of the bicycle is much faster than running.

Entering the corner, Zhang Guan is on the outside again, and Kenny is also keenly aware that Zhang Guan is preparing to overtake again.

"Zhang Guan, this is the last fight!" Kenny knew that at the end of the corner, it was time to decide the winner.

The next moment, I saw that Zhang Guan, who was outside, had already caught up with Kenny, almost on a par with Kenny.

Eventually, both of them make it to the straight, but Kenny doesn't pay attention to Zhang's position, he only has the finish line in mind. He lowered his head, reducing the air resistance as much as possible, and began to sprint forward with all his might.

"If I can win, I must win! Fight! Kenny used all of his strength on his legs, and he couldn't hear anything but the wind.

"Whoosh!" Kenny crossed the finish line, and vaguely felt a figure beside him, crossing the finish line.

Kenny looked up, and did see Zhang Guan not far in front of him.

"Zhang Guan!" Kenny gasped, and a sudden sense of foreboding ran through his mind.

Next, Kenny immediately looked at the electronic display on the sidelines, with two names on it, and the first one was Zhang Guan!

"Zhang Guan is faster than me? How is this possible! In this game, I was riding at my own pace, although the soldiers did not play at a super level, but they were already the best version of themselves in normal conditions, even if it did not reach 9.6 seconds, it is estimated that it is about the same, how can Zhang Guan be faster than me! ”

Kenny looked annoyed as he continued to look at the results of the players behind him.

"9.522 seconds! Zhang Guan's time is 9.522 seconds, a new world record! Kenny exclaimed.

The world record in the men's track cycling sprint is 9.572 seconds, which is an unclimbable height for any track cyclist. In the current cycling world, the vast majority of riders are outside 10 seconds, and only a few riders can achieve a time of less than 10 seconds. Kenny is almost world No. 1, and he can only get close to 9.6 seconds.

In sprint, the closer an athlete's speed is to the limit, the more difficult it is to improve. For example, in the 100-meter sprint, an athlete's time is 10.1 seconds, and if he wants to improve his time by 0.1 seconds, as long as he is willing to train hard, it is very promising. And if an athlete's performance is 10 seconds, even if it is 0.01 seconds, it is extremely difficult.

In the bicycle race, 9.6 seconds to 9.572 seconds can be said to be difficult, and on the basis of the world record of 9.572 seconds, it has been increased to 9.522 seconds, which is something that ordinary cyclists dare not think. Even Kenny, seeing this time of 9.522 seconds, can only despair for it!

Now Kenny is indeed in despair, 9.522 seconds, which is a number that Kenny would never dare to imagine.

"World record, new world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record. And he had one more overtake in the middle of the race! Kenny suddenly remembered that at the beginning of lap three, Zhang Guan had tried to overtake again.

"That time Zhang Guan tried to overtake, but I defended him, so he failed to overtake, and he will definitely lose some time if he fails. Zhang Guan can ride 9.522 seconds when he loses time, and he can break the world record, if he doesn't lose time, Zhang Guan's speed will definitely be faster! It's certainly more than 9.522 seconds. ”

At the thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on Kenny's head. 9.522 seconds was already an unattainable time, and Kenny wouldn't have dared to think about it if it had been faster.

"Looks like I'm never going to be able to win against him for the rest of my life!" Kenny bowed his head silently.

……

"Kenny lost!" The members of the referee team looked at this result with a surprised face.

"This is already the second game, 2-0, Zhang Guan actually won Kenny, what can I do?" The referee clearly didn't want Zhang Guan to win the championship.

"Quick, go watch the video again and find out if Zhang Guan has committed any fouls! As long as Zhang Guan has a foul, Kenny will win this game, and the British team will still have a chance! Another referee spoke.

The same trick had already been used by the judges in the women's sprint team event a few days ago. After the Chinese team had already won the championship, they watched the video again, and then found a handle for the Chinese team, and then let the Chinese team lose the gold medal.

Today, the referees were clearly planning to repeat the same trick and watch the game footage as soon as Kenny lost the game, hoping to find Zhang Guan's handle.

But unfortunately, the referee watched the video twice and did not find Zhang Guan's suspected foul.

"There is no problem, there is no problem in the whole process of Zhang Guan's riding."

"Zhang Guan's transcendence is carried out from the outside, and there is no possibility of pressing the line!"

The referee team quickly came to a unanimous conclusion.

"It looks like we can only admit this result, the host team, the British team, I can't help you this time!"

……

"9.522 seconds! A new world record! In two games, Zhang Guan broke two records in a row! Sutton, the head coach of the British team, looked at this result as if his heart had been hit by a giant hammer.

At this moment, Coach Sutton knew that the British team had lost, losing this gold medal that seemed to be a solid win before the race, but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that the world record of 9.522 seconds was enough to destroy the confidence that the British cycling team had accumulated for several years!

In the UK, on such an important stage as the Olympic Games, in track cycling, a traditional British advantage, the opponent broke the world record in the duel with British athletes! This kind of blow is difficult for the entire British cycling sport to bear. Kenny even had a hunch that after today, there would be a lot fewer young people engaged in cycling in the UK, and the British cycling audience would also be lost, and the entire British cycling movement would be full of mourning!

Coach Sutton let out a long sigh of despair, at the London Olympics, the British team can be said to have suffered a big defeat in their own dominant cycling events, especially the men's team, so far only won one team gold medal in track cycling, this only gold medal also caused a scandal of fake falls and bribery, and the French are ready to go to the international court.

"No, I can't throw in the towel yet! Great Britain can't admit defeat either, and there is one last event the day after tomorrow, the men's keirin, Sir Hoy will be on the field, and he will definitely be able to save face for our British cycling! ”

Thinking of Chris Hoy, a cycling legend, Coach Sutton's heart was once again filled with hope.

……

The auditorium, which was still boiling just now, has now become silent.

"Lost, Kenny lost!"

"It's already 2-0, if you lose this game, you will lose the game!"

"9.522 seconds, I've never seen anyone ride this fast!"

"I don't want to watch the next award ceremony, let's go!"

Before the award ceremony began, the audience at the scene had already left the stage.

If it were a normal time, winning the runner-up and winning a silver medal for the British team, the audience would still applaud the participating athletes and would stay on site to watch the award ceremony.

But cycling is different, it's the strongest event in the UK, and the British don't accept anything other than the gold medal! For these British spectators, it is an ordeal and even more humiliating to watch athletes from their own country stand on the podium of the runners-up in the track cycling race at the London Olympics!

As a result, many British spectators left the stadium early, and they didn't want to see British athletes with only a silver medal around their necks.

……

At the award ceremony, on the bench of the British team, Hoy looked at the three national flags that were rising, but his face was ashamed.

Kenny only won the silver medal, and the British flag was hung in the runner-up position, and instead of the familiar "God Save the Queen" to Hoy's ears, it became an impassioned "March of the Volunteers".

Hoy clenched his fists fiercely, and there was a determination in his eyes.

"Keirin, I'm going to win! I want the flag of the British Empire to appear at the top of the center, and I want this venue to sing "God Save the Queen"! ”

……

On the podium, Zhang Guan sang the national anthem with music.

"Now it's time to deal with the reporter's interview, thanks to Sebastian again!" Zhang Guan gloated.

Said the passer
