Osaka.

As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, he was surrounded by a large number of media reporters, and at the same time, there were dozens of times more fans than media reporters.

Zhang Guan never thought that he would have such a high popularity in Japan, as if he was a superstar, which made Zhang Guan feel a little fluttering. In the subsequent pre-match interview, Zhang Guan did not encounter unruly reporters.

When it came to the match day, Zhang Guan also met many acquaintances, such as Kazakhstan's Haberbe, Hasatst's Chenofe, Japan's Nobuhara Nobuhara and Tsukahara Naoki, and so on. As for Team USA, Morris Green didn't come, but Justin Gatlin did, and a player named Tyson Gay also appeared on the field.

Zhang Guan knows that after Bolt became famous, Tyson Gay was called the "second flyer in the world" because he was second only to Bolt in terms of results. He is the second man after Usain Bolt to run under 9.70 seconds in the 100 meters, and he is also seen by the Americans as the successor to track and field legend Michael Johnson.

It is worth mentioning that Tyson Gay is also a very well-rounded athlete and is a part-time runner.

Like Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay first practiced the 200-meter dash, which was later added to practice the 100-meter dash. Unlike Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay also developed the technique of the 400-meter dash. In 2010, Tyson Gay became the first runner in the world to run the 100m 10-second, 200m 20-second and 400m 45-second mark at the same time. Although Tyson Gay is not as good as the world's top dedicated 400m athlete in the 400m, it is undeniable that he is an all-round sprinter.

In the course of history, Tyson Gay really rose to prominence at the World Athletics Championships at the end of the year, when he was still only a 23-year-old young athlete who had not yet achieved results at the world level. Even when facing Zhang Guan, who was younger than him, Guy looked a little afraid.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder after all.

And he is a local Asian player, so he undoubtedly has the highest popularity on this field, and even the Japanese veteran Nobuhara Asahara is less popular than Zhang Guan.

The 100-meter dash is still ranked after the 110-meter hurdles.

Liu Feiren was in very good form today, but his old rival Alan Johnson did not come to the competition, which is more or less a pity, and the other opponents are not worth mentioning in front of Liu Feiren at all. Liu Feier also kept a hand in the final, but still won the championship with a good time of 13.12 seconds.

Next is the long-awaited 100-meter flyer battle, Zhang Guan against his old rival Gatlin. It is also the main attraction of this IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.

Gatlin has been in much better form this year than he was last year, having been doing well in a number of track and field competitions on American soil in the past two months, which is why he decided to compete in the Grand Prix in Osaka, once again challenging Zhang Guan.

In the face of Gatling's challenge, Zhang Guan seemed very calm, although he has been practicing the 200m these days, but perhaps because of the large amount of practice on weekdays, Zhang Guan's condition has remained quite good. The current state of 79 is enough for Zhang Guan to run under 9.85 seconds, which is a result that can be won in the average world-class track and field Grand Prix.

……

Gatlin glanced at Zhang Guan, then tilted his head. Slowly closing his eyes, scenes flashed through his mind.

Gatlin remembered the Athens Olympics, where he made it to the final, and he saw that Green had exerted too much energy in the semi-finals. At that time he could even be sure that he had won the Olympic gold medal, but in the competition. He's working hard, hard and he's competing with other athletes for second place!

Gatlin remembered last year's Yokohama All-Star Game, when he traveled all the way from the United States to Japan to prove himself to the world, and then he worked hard to compete with other athletes for second place!

"Second? Second again! his forked second! Gatling opened his eyes violently: "I'm here to fight for the first, not for some bullshit second!" Zhang Guan, I will do my best today, I must defeat you! I want a championship! ”

……

The starter signaled the athletes to get ready, then shouted the command, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger.

Zhang Guan was in good shape, rushed out at the first time, and the starting reaction time was very good.

Gatlin, however, used a gun-and-run tactic and succeeded, being the first to cross the starting line and take the lead from the start.

Gatlin was clearly prepared today, his acceleration was rapid, and he was clearly prepared to take advantage of the lead he had gained from the gun run to extend his advantage. And Zhang Guan was not to be outdone, almost clinging to Gatling, and the two still maintained the slight gap between the start.

The audience's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, as soon as the game began, Zhang Guan and Gatling were about to meet each other, which looked exciting, and according to this situation, the following games will be even more exciting.

After forty meters, the athletes' speed has reached its peak, and at this time, for the top athletes, the competition has just begun. But between Zhang Guan and Gatlin, there is still a slight gap between the start.

Fifty meters, Zhang Guan still did not catch up with Gatling.

Sixty meters, the two were clearly ahead of the other competitors, but Zhang was still slightly behind Gatlin.

Zhang Guan had already noticed that Gatling was a little different today, and he was in very good shape, so his speed was very fast at this time, and he was almost on par with himself.

"When did Gatling get so strong! Is it bloody? I couldn't catch up with him. Zhang Guan was a little annoyed. Then he suddenly remembered that in the previous two fights with Gatling, he had taken both the Stamina Potion and the Status Potion, and both of them broke the world record. But in those two encounters in the world, Gatling showed great speed, and Zhang Guan thought that Gatling was weak, just because he was indeed much faster than Gatling when he broke the world record.

"If it weren't for me, Gatlin would have been the 100m champion in Athens! I was despised him too much before......" Zhang Guan realized this, and then paid more attention.

……

The members of the coaching staff watching the game from a distance were also nervous.

From the start to the present, in just five or six seconds, there have been traces of sweat on Yu Gui's forehead, he clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he was silently cheering for Zhang Guan in his heart.

Yu Gui hasn't felt this nervous feeling for a long time. Since the Athens Olympics, Zhang Guan's matches have been smooth sailing, leading all the way to the championship. And today, although Zhang Guan's state is good, Gatlin's state is also good, and Director Yu feels the tension and excitement that he has not seen for a long time.

Not far away, Gatlin's coach Graham's expression was similar to that of Coach Yu, but his heart was far more active than Coach Yu.

"Although Zhang Guan's speed today is not as fast as when he broke the world record last year, it is still fast! I really don't know how the Chinese train, a yellow race, can be so fast! We've already used that method. But he couldn't defeat Zhang Guan. Graham thought to himself.

Graham is a well-known American coach who has coached several championship-level Americans, including Tim Montgomery, who broke the world record in 9.78 seconds, and Marion Jones, the legendary American flyer.

Graham is also a coach with a "criminal record", which refers to the precedent of illegal drug use among the athletes he coaches, including Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones.

……

On the track, the two athletes have entered the final 20 meters of the competition.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! I can't lose! Zhang Guan is trying hard to mobilize his emotions, and his feet are also working more violently.

Finally. In this second caught up with Gatling.

The two go hand in hand!

"Zhang Guan has caught up! Sure enough, he still caught up! I'm not going to lose, though! Gatlin noticed that the slight lead at the start was gone, and instead of panicking, he looked more aggressive.

There are only ten meters left in this world's pinnacle contest, the last ten meters. For two top athletes, it doesn't even take 1 second to run.

The victory and defeat were only in a split second, and the two athletes were still fighting and they would not give up. They all crave victory!

"It's the end, it's over!" Zhang Guan made a movement to cross the line, and his body leaned forward violently. His head also stretched forward, and at this moment, Zhang Guan almost lost the balance of his body, and in the moment he crossed the finish line, he had to twist his body to maintain his balance. At this time, Zhang Guan didn't know who would win in the end.

Gatlin also crossed the line at the finish line, he didn't look at Zhang Guan, his eyes were only on the finish line, and his burning eyes were full of yearning for the championship.

Rush the line!

"Did I win?" The idea popped into the minds of both Zhang Guan and Gatling at the same time.

However, from God's point of view, Zhang Guan seems to be a little ahead.

Both Zhang Guan and Gatlin slowed down, and both looked at the scoreboard almost at the same time.

Gatling, 9.83 seconds.

Zhang Guan was 9.82 seconds, and Zhang Guan narrowly won with a score of 0.01 seconds!

Immediately afterward, cheers rang out in the camp of the national team, while the American team looked a little depressed.

Seeing this result, Gatlin sighed slightly: "It's second again!" Damn it! I'm losing again! ”

……

The process of taking urine samples from athletes is very strict, the first thing is to take off clothes, not only pants, but also tops, according to the regulations, pants must be taken off below the knees, and the top must be lifted below the chest, which is to avoid athletes hiding specimens in their clothes in advance. At least two sets of containers should be prepared in advance, each with at least two containers, which must be transparent and unopened so that the athlete can see if there is anything else inside. Before the specimen is taken, it is up to the athlete to choose one of the containers to use.

In the process of collecting specimens, the staff will hand the container to the athlete, and the athlete will first use one of the containers to collect the specimen, and then pour part of the collected specimen into another container, and then seal the container by themselves. The staff will then seal the container in front of the athletes, and even ask the athletes to write or mark the seals and put them in the storage box of the transfer, all of which must be monitored by the athletes.

Two vials of specimens, one of which will be used for urine testing and the other for retention. Once an athlete is found to have used an illegal drug in a urine test, another bottle of retained specimen will be tested, and the athlete or coach will be allowed to be present to witness the entire process from sampling, unpacking, and subsequent testing.

The whole process above is very complicated, and more than 30 operating specifications can be listed, but once the athlete is more proficient, the operation is also very fast. Zhang Guan has also experienced many cases of taking specimens, so it soon became a specimen collection process.

Soon after, the staff had completed the collection of all the specimens that needed to be taken from the athletes, and he placed the specimens in a special box before preparing to send them to the testing center.

But he had barely walked a few steps when a man wearing a mask next to him suddenly rushed over, snatched the box where the athlete's specimens were kept, and ran away. (To be continued.) )
