Chapter 113: 1500m Final

The time was close to eleven o'clock in the evening, but the audience at the scene did not feel the slightest sleepiness, because the next project, Zhang Guan will appear again.

With the men's 1500m middle distance final coming up, Zhang Guan is the Asian record holder in this event and is likely to win another gold medal in this event, so the 1500m finale is seen as the highlight of the day.

At the side of the track, several competitors are preparing for the 1,500m final, with the oldest Spanish player Hiqueiro and Qatar's Al-Bashir being 30 years old, while the youngest Kenyan player Kiprop is only 19 years old. Of course, Kenyans are young, and many people born in many tribes in that country can't even count, let alone count their youth.

As soon as Zhang Guan walked out of the players' tunnel, he caused enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and the players who had already arrived showed awe.

The 9-meter jump in the long jump is enough to shock anyone, and as track and field athletes, they understand the meaning behind Zhang Guan's 9 meters, and there is no doubt that in their hearts, Zhang Guan can jump 9 meters, which is like a god-like existence.

Kenya's Kiprop looked at Zhang Guan from afar, and at this moment he no longer had the arrogance and pride in the preliminary round or semi-finals, but showed a look of envy when facing Zhang Guan.

"Being able to jump 9 meters, Zhang Guan must have found his best personal form, I remember his best time in the 1500m was 3:28.88, maybe he will run such a result again today. If that's the case, none of the other eleven players will be his opponent. Including Ramz ......" Kiprop thought as he looked at Ramz not far away, only to find that Ramz was excited at this time.

"Ramz seems to be very excited, he doesn't seem to be worried about Zhang Guan at all, he deserves to be the top athlete in the world, his psychological quality is really strong, it looks like I have a lot to learn!" Kiprop thought silently.

……

Ramz was really excited at this point, and he even couldn't wait for the match to start as soon as possible.

"It's a great feeling, I'm full of endless power and it looks like I can lead all the way to the finish! Maybe I'll have a chance to challenge Queroy! Ramz thought excitedly.

A compatriot of Ramz and a native of Morocco, Queroy is a legend of middle-distance running, known as the "King of Middle Distance Running", having won both the 1,500m and 5,000m at the Athens Olympics before retiring in 2006.

Queroy is the world record holder in the men's 1,500m middle distance run, breaking five indoor and outdoor world records in the 1,500m, 1mi and 2,000m events in a year, and the 3,000m is the second-best time in the world. In the 1500m, the world's eight best records were all set by Queroy, and the first 50 were generally set by Queroy, who competed in a total of 84 1500m world championships between 1996 and 2003, winning 81 of them, which means that he only lost three races in eight years, and it is no exaggeration to say that Hiqueiro dominated the 1500m middle distance run of that era.

Ramz, who was also born in Morocco, although he is now a Bahraini national, still idolizes Queroi in his heart, and he dreams of reaching the level of Queroi, dreaming of one day breaking Queroi's world record, dreaming of surpassing Queroi one day.

And today, Ramz suddenly has a feeling that his current self has a chance to achieve this dream!

……

"Dear spectators and friends, the next thing to bring you is the final race of today's track and field event, the final of the men's 1500m middle distance run!" Before the commentator finished speaking, the audience at the scene had already begun to boil, because the broadcast camera at this time happened to be aimed at Zhang Guan, giving Zhang Guan a big close-up.

The next step is to introduce the order of appearance, and Zhang Guan is the first. Since the 1500m is not a lane split, the first race saves the trouble of merging, which is very advantageous for Zhang Guan, and it is obvious that the organizers are taking care of the host runners in terms of allocating the order of appearance.

Among the remaining players, Ramzi is in the second lane, Qatar's al-Bashir is in the third, Kenya's Jog is in the fourth, South Africa's Deventer is in the fifth, Bahrain's Ali is in the sixth, Morocco's Igouid is in the seventh, Kenya's Kiprop is in the eighth to the second, and so on.

After introducing the contestants, the competition began immediately. As the starter shouted the order, the twelve runners were instantly ready to start. Immediately after, gunshots rang out, and twelve players rushed out at the same time.

The first 100 meters are still a process of merging, and at this time, there are many tactical options for both inside and outside players, and of course all tactical choices are to grab a better following position.

The riders on the outside track want to squeeze in, and the runners on the inside track want to hold their positions, and the scene is a bit chaotic, unless you keep your eyes on a certain runner, you will soon be shaken by the colorful sportswear and don't know who to look at.

However, at this moment, a red and gray sportswear stood out from the crowd and quickly rushed to the front.

"It's Ramz, Ramz rushed to the lead, is he going to take the lead?"

I saw Ramz accelerate to the front of Zhang Guan, and then decisively merge into the innermost track, and then he continued to accelerate, and there was a tendency to leave other athletes behind.

"Huh? It's Ramz! This is how hard it is at the beginning of the competition! Zhang Guan was also a little surprised in his heart, but more than that, he was happy, the characteristics of his "follow running" skill doomed him to be able to follow behind other runners, so Zhang Guan couldn't wait to follow behind the leader, since Ramz wanted to be the leader, Zhang Guan of course would not be polite, he kept up with Ramz, and started the skill of following running.

"Zhang Guan, he caught up! Do you want to surpass Ramz? Instead of going over, he chose to follow Ramz. The commentator let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "The race has just begun, there is no need to rush so quickly, and there is no need to lead, the so-called good steel should be used on the blade, and in the middle and long distance running, every point of physical strength is extremely precious, and it needs to be left when it is needed most!" ”

The audience at the scene also burst into cheers at the moment when Zhang Guan accelerated, they also thought that Zhang Guan had surpassed Ramz, and when Zhang Guan followed behind Ramz, everyone's cheers also died down.

The first 100 meters were coming to an end, and at this point, Ramz and Zhang were in first and second place, respectively. The runners behind also occupied a position, and the race seemed to enter the normal follow-up stage.

The athlete entered the first corner, and unexpectedly, Ramz was still picking up speed! (To be continued.) )
