Director Yu held the stopwatch in both hands, he had experienced the surprise brought to him by Zhang Guan too many times, but at this moment, he still couldn't help the excitement in his heart, Zhang Guan saw that he was about to reach the end, and the time display on his stopwatch was not yet 19 seconds.

"The world record is 19.32 seconds, although there is an error in my hand, but with an error of 0.24 seconds, I may be able to break the world record!" Yu Gui noticed that his hands began to tremble, and he even began to worry that he would not be able to accurately press the stopwatch in his hand at the moment when Zhang Guan crossed the line.

And Michael Johnson in front of the TV has a more sensitive sense than a guide.

Michael Johnson is the 200m world record holder and the only athlete in the world to be able to run the 200m under 19.40 seconds. It is precisely because he has achieved this result recently, so when he saw the speed that Zhang Guan played at the moment, his sixth sense told him that Zhang Guan's result this time may not be inferior to his world record that year.

"It's not going to be faster than me!" Johnson thought nervously.

A month ago, Zhang Guan broke the 400m world record held by Michael Johnson at the Golden League in Brussels, and today, it seems that Zhang Guan is about to break Johnson's 200m world record again.

Johnson himself knows that it is easier to break the 200m world record than the 400m. Zhang Guan has already crossed the difficult 400m world record, so why is it difficult to cross an easier 200m world record?

"Crossing the line!" While the narrator's roar was still ringing in Johnson's ears, the timer in the lower right corner of the television had already stopped moving.

Johnson looked at the numbers on the timer and silently closed his eyes.

The clock is 19.30 seconds!

A new world record for the 200-meter dash was born at this moment!

……

"Wow...... Oh...... Record! It's really a world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record in the 200-meter dash! The commentator suddenly shouted, he felt that the world record had come too suddenly, and the 200-meter world record had been broken without any warning, and he couldn't find the words to explain the rest for a while.

It's not just the narrator on the scene. For everyone else, this world record came too suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, breaking a world record always takes some brewing! For example, players make some big words before the game, such as the media or experts making some unreliable predictions, such as the organizer or sponsor being generous enough to get a special prize or something. Otherwise, choose some special occasion to break the world record, such as a special anniversary, or in an Olympic final, which is a field that the whole world is watching.

But today's situation is quite like this, a new 200-meter world record, which has not been brewed and fermented in the slightest before. The World Cup is also far inferior to the World Cup of the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and more importantly, Zhang Guan, who broke the 200-meter world record, is the first time to appear in the 200-meter field of this international large-scale track and field event!

Even though Zhang Guan is already a double world record holder in the 100m and 400m, breaking the 200m world record in his first international competition in the 200m is extremely incredible to anyone.

More than a dozen photojournalists had already rushed to Zhang Guan, and the camera of the broadcast picture was always aimed at Zhang Guan, and it was not until this moment that the narrator thought of the next commentary.

The last world record in the 200m was 19.32 seconds set by American legend Michael Johnson in Atlanta in 1996, a decade after that. The second-best time in the 200-meter dash is also Johnson's 19.66 seconds, which means apart from Johnson. No athlete can run under 19.60 seconds in the 200 meters, let alone challenge the world record. ”

When the whole world thought that the world record of 19.32 seconds would be sealed forever, Zhang Guan told us again with his strength. In front of him, a world record in any sprint event is not a problem, even if it is his first time in competition, he can break the world record! ”

The narrator's impassioned voice reached Michael Johnson's ears via television. Johnson's mood was so low at this point that he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Get up and walk towards the room......

……

"The world record, really breaking the 200-meter world record! Old than, old than! Director Ma shouted a few times, and found that Yu Gui still did not respond, so he pushed Yu Gui with his hand.

Yu Gui came back to his senses at this time, and then muttered to himself: "So fast, I really can't imagine it so fast!" I thought it would be a few more years! ”

Director Ma understood what Yu Gui meant, and nodded: "Yes, although I knew that Zhang Guan had the strength to break the 200-meter world record, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, this is his first official appearance in an international competition." I think Michael Johnson is going to be depressed right now. I remember at last year's Huangpu Golden Grand Prix, I had a chat with Johnson for a while, and when I talked about Zhang Guan, he still looked like he was guiding his juniors, but I didn't expect that in just one year, his two world records were broken by this junior. ”

"Within two months, both world record titles were gone, and Johnson would probably lose a lot of business income. But it doesn't matter, he can be a coach, and being a coach in the United States is quite lucrative. Director Yu said.

"Lao Yu, in this way, we have a bumper harvest in the men's short event this year! The world records of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters were all won by Zhang Guan, and the world record of 110 meters hurdles was also obtained by Liu Feiren. When Director Ma said this, he was overjoyed and became more and more excited.

However, Director Yu's expression became melancholy, and he said softly: "This track and field World Cup is over, and when I return to China, the leader may have to talk to me." ”

"Talk?" Director Ma was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that by the end of this year, Yu Gui will be 60 years old, and the coach of the national team is managed with reference to ordinary cadres, and men retire at the age of 60, so according to the regulations, Yu Gui will retire soon.

Director Ma suddenly didn't know what to say, but Director Yu took the lead and said: "I estimate that after this year's Asian Games, I will retire." After working in this position for more than 30 years, I am really reluctant! But to be able to cultivate a disciple like Zhang Guan, I'm also worth it! ”

"No, old Yu, you can't go. There are two years left before the Olympic Games, and the next Olympic Games will be held in our own country, which is of great significance. I'll apply to Director Luo when I go back, and you have to stay. Director Ma said violently.

"Forget it!" Director Yu shook his head: "The national team has the rules of the national team, don't start this for me, and I'm an old man, it's not good to always occupy a position, let's give young people more opportunities." ”

……

Although Spearman finished second, he did not feel the slightest joy, and before that, he felt that Zhang Guan was making his first appearance in the 200m international competition, and his strength might not be very strong, so Spearman has been dreaming about beating Zhang Guan, and he has even thought about the celebration after the victory.

But at this moment, Spearman felt that the reality was so skinny, and this new world record appeared so suddenly. And in front of this world record, Spearman is not even qualified to be a background.

"Is there really that big a gap between us? What a world record! I can't do it in my life! Spearman's confident expression was gone, replaced by a look of confusion. At this moment, he was indeed deeply shocked.

Obikviru walked over from the side, patted Spearman on the shoulder, and said, "Wallace, don't worry, you've won the runner-up, it's already good." ”

"But......" Spearman was about to speak, but was interrupted by Obikviru.

I saw Obikviru pointing to Bolt in the distance, and then said, "Look over there, look at Bolt." ”

Bolt in the distance is now looking at Zhang Guan with a look of adoration, but Bolt does not have any frustration, what he exudes is a fighting spirit.

"See?" Obikoviru continued: "Bolt has found a new goal and I think he will definitely work towards this new goal. ”

"But that's a new world record!" Spearman shook his head: "I can't do it in my life!" ”

Obikviru sighed silently in his heart, he knew that Spearman would probably stop there, and Bolt would definitely become a superstar in the track and field world in the future!

……

After the men's 200m, the women's 1,500m final, the men's 800m final and the women's 5,000m final will follow. But perhaps because Zhang Guan broke the 200m world record, these races did not attract much attention, and people are still talking about the 200m world record just now.

It is worth mentioning that in the men's 800m middle distance event, Bahrain's Joseph Saad Carmel won the championship with a time of 1:44.98, adding another gold medal to the Asian team.

The final event of the Athletics World Cup is the 4 x 400 meter relay, which the Asian team did not participate in, and the 400 level in Asia is too far behind that of Europe and the United States, so they simply gave up the competition. But even so, in the men's event, the Asian team still won the first place with eight gold medals and won the team championship of the Athletics World Cup for the first time. (To be continued.) )
