On the track, the men's 800m final is about to begin.

In the stands, there were already spectators who played the slogan "Eighth Gold Medal".

In the athletes' preparation area, a contestant looked at the track in front of him with a solemn expression, but he was fighting fiercely in his heart.

"Ramz's doping has come at a bad time, and it is said that the IAAF and the International Anti-Doping Organization have already sent people over, and the doping tests will be more stringent in the future. So what should I do? Do you want to continue to attack the medals? The athlete thought silently.

Not every athlete will be tested for doping, but doping tests are more stringent from one to the next, with about 3,600 doping tests conducted at the 2004 Athens Olympics and 4,500 in 2008. According to the 2008 doping test rules, the top five finishers in all sports are required to take a doping test, and other athletes are randomly tested. In addition, not all tests are urine tests, and about 900 blood tests are included in the 4,500 tests.

Ramz is certainly not the only athlete who uses doping, especially athletics, which has historically been a major doping user, and doping occurs in groups at the national level, in addition to individuals. Under the current doping testing rules, as long as you can't run in the top five, you can avoid doping testing.

Some athletes use doping, but also in a kind of luck psychology, they feel that they can't find out before they use it, and the Ramz incident has made doping testing more severe, which also dispelled many people's luck psychology. They have to choose between their results and their careers.

It's a tough choice, and an athlete comes to the Olympics to get good results, and the quadrennial Olympics are extremely important for any athlete. The golden age of athletes is only a few years, and some people can only participate in the Olympic Games once in their lifetime, and they are certainly not willing to give up a chance to challenge for a medal.

But those athletes who have used doping, in order to save their future careers, must choose to give up now, if they just give up, it may arouse the suspicion of others, but it is better to deliberately run a relatively backward position in the race, and then evade doping checks.

So since the Ramz incident, some athletes have withdrawn from the competition for Olympic medals in disguise.

Of course, the really strong athletes disdain to use some despicable means to win the race, and there is no shortage of strong athletes in the upcoming 800m final.

Bahrain's Carmel, who won bronze in the 800m at the Athens Olympics four years ago and the 800m at the Athletics World Cup two years ago, is another big hope for Bahrain to hit the ground for their first-ever gold medal after Ramz.

At the Asian Games two years ago, Carmel had a fight with Zhang Guan, and in the end, Zhang Guan broke the Asian record, while Carmel could only settle for second. The pair met again today in competition, and with Ramz's Olympic silver medal cancelled due to doping, it was clear that Carmel was hoping to finish Ramz's unfinished business and win a gold medal for Bahrain.

Kenya's Kolva is the strongest athlete in the field at the moment, he is the world champion in the 800m middle distance at last year's World Championships, and is the second world champion athlete besides Carmel. The good news for him is that Kenya has two athletes in the 800m final, and they can play some tactical tricks in the race.

Kenya's other player, Bongay, is not the favourite. But in fact, the current 800-meter middle distance running in the world is an era of competition, and former world champions are not even guaranteed to win a medal, such as Sudan's Ismail, Cuba's Lopez, and Canada's Reid, all of whom are also very strong.

Zhang Guan is clearly one of the most high-profile competitors, and the fact that he will be aiming for an eighth gold medal is a matter of global recognition, and only 800m, of his five events from 100m to 1500m, has yet to set a new world record.

Even if Zhang Guan won the Olympic gold medal in the 800 meters, if he was not able to break the world record, it would be unbearable for some spectators with obsessive-compulsive disorder. But Zhang Guan, the world record holder in the 400m and 1500m, is clearly the most likely person to break the 800m world record.

However, Zhang Guan knows that whether he can break the world record does not depend on himself, but on how fast other runners can run, which is the biggest shortcoming of the "follow run" skill. At this time, Zhang Guan couldn't help but think back to the 1500m race, and if it wasn't for Ramz's crazy lead at the beginning of the race, he might not have had a chance to break the 1500m world record.

"I hope that in the 800-meter race, there will be a desperate Saburo in front of the lead!" Zhang Guan thought silently.

……

Although there were no American athletes in the 800m final, many American spectators were also watching this race, and if Zhang Guan won the gold medal, he would tie Phelps's record of eight gold medals in an Olympic Games. In the men's basketball semifinals that just ended not long ago, the Chinese team has advanced to the finals, so Zhang Guan will inevitably win a silver medal, 8 golds and 1 silver, and Zhang Guan will also surpass Phelps in the total number of medals.

The American audience obviously did not want Zhang Guan to surpass Phelps, while the Chinese audience was looking forward to the gold medal with hope.

In the stands, a group of spectators have spontaneously made the sign of "The Greatest Athlete of All Time", waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan won the gold medal to raise it, and the sponsors are gearing up, and many sponsors have prepared a new version of the advertisement.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Guan walked onto the field, but beside him, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Carmel, Korva, Bongey, Ismail...... These people are the best 800m athletes in the world, they are all here for the championship, to this point, of course, they can't choose to give up, they can't let Zhang Guan get the championship as he wishes, or each of them, hope to snipe Zhang Guan.

……

Bonguy walked up to Carmel and asked, "Carmel, have you thought about it?" Ismail has decided to join, now it's up to you! You, me, Corva, plus Ismail, the four of us will join forces and snipe Zhang Guan together! After Zhang Guan was eliminated from the winning team, we competed with each other again. ”

Bongay speaks Swahili, one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa, and the most widely spoken language in Africa, where Swahili is sometimes even more spoken than English.

Bongay is a Kenyan, Kiswahili is one of the official languages of Kenya, and Kamel is a Kenyan naturalized player from Bahrain, and of course he also speaks Swahili, and the Sudanese player Ismail also speaks Swahili, because Sudan is a country bordering Kenya, and in that area, such as Congo, Uganda, ********, etc., people speak Swahili.

With seven gold medals and six world records in six events, Zhang Guan's good competitive condition made every competitor feel fear, and they realized that they could not snipe Zhang Guan with the strength of one of them.

Luckily, the 800m is a parallel event, so they can work together, and a few people can form a league and use some more tactics in the race.

So two Kenyan athletes took the lead, and they contacted Sudan's Ismail and Kenyan Kamel to form a coalition, a coalition to snipe Zhang Guan.

Bongay speaks Swahili, obviously not worrying about being heard by other players, let alone being heard by Zhang Guan, who even if he hears it, he can't understand it. But at this time, Carmel was still a little hesitant, after all, he was a world champion-level athlete, he had his own pride, and let him cooperate with several other players to use tactics to snipe Zhang Guan, which made him feel very unwilling.

"Carmel, think of Ramz! He ran so fast that he even overtook Queroy, but he was still no match for Zhang Guan! And that poor Usain Bolt from Jamaica, who broke the world record twice, but met Zhang Guan both times. Bongay spoke.

Carmel woke up first, knowing that he was not very dominant in the 800m, far inferior to Ramz in the 1500m, and even worse than Usain Bolt in the 100m and 200m.

Carmel couldn't help but think of two years ago, at the Asian Games in Doha, in front of many West Asian audiences, he was surpassed by Zhang Guan, at that time his heart was full of powerlessness, he was helpless, he was depressed, he felt endless despair, that feeling, he still tastes pain when he thinks about it today.

He didn't want to go through another failure like that.

Carmel came to his senses, he knew that now was not the time to show the pride of the World Champion, he had to let go of his pride, what he needed was victory, and if he wanted to win, he had to step over the crown!

"Yes, I promise you! This time, I won't fail again. Carmel finally said. (To be continued.) )
