Chapter 125: Win

Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt entered the straight at the same time, and after the two entered the straight, they were also neck and neck.

However, the two were not too far ahead of the other runners, with two athletes just a little slower than them to enter the straight track: American Spearman and Netherlands Antilles' Martina.

As he entered the runway, Spearman glanced at Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt not far away.

"The gap between us is not as big as I thought, and in this match, I might be able to beat Usain Bolt or Zhang Guan, or even beat them at the same time."

Spearman swept almost every 200m sprint in the United States and was hailed as the successor to Shaun Crawford, especially after finishing runner-up at the 2005 World Championships.

However, that all changed in 2006, when Zhang Guan entered the 200m dash and then swept the world, especially in the Athletics World Cup, where Zhang Guan won the 200m in front of Spearman.

In 2007, Zhang Guan went to play tennis and left the track and field for a short time, but Spearman did not usher in his own spring, because Bolt rose, in 2007 and 2008, the two sprint events of 100 meters and 200 meters are undoubtedly Bolt's world, at first Spearman was only more than one loser and won less, but when Bolt entered his peak, Spearman faced Bolt and had no wins.

And today, in the Olympic arena, when Spearman faced the two strong players Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt, he did not back down, and he did not hesitate to challenge the two strongest players in the world.

"I'm the best 200m athlete in the United States, and today, I'm going to be the best in the world! I'm going to regain the glory of American sprinting! There was a gleam in Spearman's eyes, especially when he realized that he was not too far behind Zhang Guan and Bortra, and he became more confident in himself.

Once, in the track and field sprint event, the strongest in the United States was the strongest in the world, but this law changed after the Athens Olympics, Zhang Guan, Powell, Bolt ...... One by one, more powerful players appeared, and the champion of the United States was no longer the champion of the world.

In the eyes of the world, American track and field is no longer dominant, and has even begun to decline, but Spearman does not think so, he wants to bring American track and field back to the top, and the beginning of it all is this Olympic gold medal!

On the other hand, the Netherlands Antilles' Martina also has hope in his heart.

The Netherlands Antilles is a small country with only a few hundred thousand people in the Caribbean, and it is not even as large as a larger township in the country. In such a small island nation with a small population, Martina is undoubtedly the biggest sports star, and he is also the Olympic flag bearer of the Netherlands Antilles.

At this moment, Martina seemed to feel that the dawn of victory had shone on him, because he was less than half a body away from Bolt next to him, and this gap could perhaps be surpassed by stretching his head a little forward when crossing the finish line.

"I can be faster, I can be faster! Come on, go ahead, surpass Usain Bolt, surpass Zhang Guan, get this Olympic gold medal, I will be a hero! ”

Martina suddenly remembered the scene when he was seen off when he left the Netherlands Antilles, and the expectant gazes made him feel that he carried their hopes.

"Maybe in my hometown, people are watching me fight! So I can't afford to lose! ”

This became Martina's driving force, but it was not about the sense of national pride. The Netherlands Antilles, as a colony that has been colonized for hundreds of years, is now a Dutch autonomous territory, where the people have a much lower sense of honor and identity with the country, but in an island country with only a hundred thousand people, more people's "recognition" may be what Martina hopes for the most.

……

Bolt didn't care about Martina next to him, let alone Spearman on the very edge of the track, and there was only one thought in his mind at this time, and that was to defeat Zhang Guan.

In the whole corner, Bolt has tried his best to run, but he still did not get the slightest lead in the end, in the corner competition, he and Zhang Guan can only be regarded as a five-to-five.

In the eyes of many, Bolt's failure to gain an advantage in the corners meant that he was going to lose the race nine times out of ten. Because just a few days ago, in the final of the men's 100-meter sprint, Bolt lost to Zhang Guan, and that time it was a straight, so people also came to a conclusion that Bolt's straight was not as good as Zhang Guan.

But Bolt doesn't think so, and he is very confident in his ability to break out in the future.

"100m is still too short, I just increased the speed, the race is over, but 200m is different, I will have more time to maintain the limit speed, my follow-up explosiveness, can keep me fast!"

Bolt stepped out of his long legs, like a cheetah chasing an antelope, and rushed forward.

At this moment, Bolt worked hard, his speed was also increased to the extreme, every time he waved his arms, every time he took a step, he showed the strongest explosive power, his muscles were completely tense, and there was a perfect line in the dark black, with the special beauty of athletes.

"Usain Bolt is so fast!" Someone exclaimed. The reason why some people say this is because with every step Bolt takes forward, he widens the distance between him and Martina.

Half position, one position, one half position, two positions, 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters...... The distance between the two had widened to more than three meters in the blink of an eye, and it was so fast that Martina didn't react at all, one second he was still amazed at Bolt's speed, and the next second, he could only see Bolt's back.

"Bolt's speed is so fast, is this the real speed of Bolt?" Martina's eyes revealed a shock, but his heart was more unwilling.

But Martina also knew very well that his speed had reached his limit, and he couldn't have gone any faster.

And at the very edge of the track, Spearman set off a storm in his heart.

"How could Usain Bolt be so fast? He's a lot faster than usual! It turns out that he can run so fast, has he been hiding his strength before? ”

In the past two years, there have been more than one battles between Spearman and Bolt, and Bolt has never shown the pace he has today. Because of this, Spearman was confident in himself before the game, believing that he had a chance to beat Usain Bolt and Zhang Guan. But by this time, when Bolt showed this incredible speed, Spearman already realized that victory was already a distant thing for him, and he could not be faster than Bolt.

Track and field athletes have to experience more than a dozen or even dozens of competitions a year, especially between June and August, when the schedule is more intensive, the athlete's state will also be affected, which also directly interferes with the athlete's performance. But now that it's a quadrennial Olympic Games, it's one of the most important events in the world, so athletes are bound to be in the best shape and the best they can be for the Olympics.

Usually Spearman is not the best Bolt, which also leads to his misjudgment of Bolt's true strength, and today Bolt is obviously in the best condition, he played his best, a Bolt who is unprecedentedly strong.

"So fast, really fast! Who would be such a Bolt? Spearman's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, but at this time, he found that there was always a man on the running track to the left of Bolt, who was neck and neck with Bolt.

"That's Zhang Guan, he can still keep up with Bolt!"

At this time, everyone has already understood that this game has become a contest between Zhang Guan and Bolt.

……

On the field, the athletes are dressed in a variety of colors and styles of sportswear, but the vast majority of athletes have one thing in common: they are black.

The black skin shimmered in the light with an ore-like hue, which became the dominant color in athletics, but the only different color was so conspicuous. Although it was yellow skin, it looked extraordinarily white compared to the crowd of black people.

If that black is the highest quality ore that has just been dug out of the depths of the earth, then this white color is like the only crystal clear diamond that suddenly flashes out of the ore!

That's Zhang Guan, he is not behind, he has always been on par with Bolt, even if Bolt has played the ultimate speed and has shown his strongest self, Zhang Guan is not inferior in the slightest.

Zhang Guan's stride is not as far as Bolt's, but his pace is a point faster than Bolt's. When Bolt was accelerating, Zhang Guan was also accelerating. While Usain Bolt was three metres ahead of Martina and three metres ahead of Spearman, Zhang Guan was also three metres ahead of the two competitors.

And this gap is still getting wider, and between the lack of respite, the gap has reached five meters. The format of the race was thus determined, with the winner between Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt, while Spearman and Martina will compete for third place.

"It's like another repeat of the 100m final, the race is not over yet, Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt are far ahead of the other athletes, the champion will be between the two of them, and the other six athletes, although strong, will not be able to pose a threat to these two." This kind of thought has risen in the hearts of countless people, and the battle between Zhang Guan and Bolt is something that all the audience wants to see.

The sound of shouting echoed over the arena, and some people couldn't help but dance with their hands, but their expressions were all the same, excited, anxious, nervous, impulsive, selfless, and enthusiastic!

People are shouting cheers, people are shouting Zhang Guan's name, people are waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan overtakes Bolt.

One by one, the voices were quickly drowned out in the roaring waves, and no one cared if Zhang Guan could hear their shouts, but everyone hoped that Zhang Guan would be faster, if only a little faster.

"Come on", this is an expectation, a very simple expectation!

Since Zhang Guan won the 200m at the World Cup in Athletics, too many people have been expecting an Olympic gold medal for two years, especially after Zhang Guan won the record in the 100m sprint.

And on the other side of the globe in Jamaica, in front of the television, people are shouting another name: Usain Bolt!

They knew that it was impossible for Bolt to hear their shouts from a distance of the world, but they were still shouting indulgently, hoping that Bolt could defeat Zhang Guan and win the championship, which would bring glory to the whole of Jamaica, and more importantly, an Olympic gold medal, like a beacon, would show the way forward for countless young Jamaicans who were about to enter the field of athletics.

It's a contest that no one wants to lose, not only for the athletes, but also for the spectators of both countries.

However, this is competitive sports, so there is bound to be a loser between the two.

With only 50 meters left to go, Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt were still neck and neck, neither of them had a lead, not even the one they once had. At the current pace of the two of them, the race would be over in four seconds.

The last four seconds are about to decide the outcome of the four seconds.

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, staring at the two players, for fear that they would miss something because of the blink.

In the final three seconds, Zhang Guan and Usain Bolt were still side by side, and there was no sign that one of them would take the lead, as if the race was going to continue until the finish.

Bolt knows that he is at his best, he has the determination to win, and he has given it his all, and his speed has reached the limit.

He also knows that now is the perfect opportunity for him to defeat Zhang Guan.

However, to Bolt's disappointment, even in this state, he still couldn't take the lead, and the race may not be decided until the final crossing of the line.

Zhang Guan also felt the strength of Bolt, he didn't expect before the game that Bolt would run so fast, even if he had tried his best, he could still only maintain a tie with Bolt.

In the last two seconds, they were one step closer to the finish line.

At this time, Zhang Guan felt that time seemed to stand still, everything in front of him became so clear at this moment, the red runway and the green lawn seemed to turn gray in his eyes. There is only one white line, sometimes clear, twelve blurry.

That's the finish line!

A voice suddenly sounded from Zhang Guan's head.

"Rush over, rush over!"

The voice was so familiar, as if Zhang Guan was speaking to himself.

It was Zhang Guan's inner voice, he was telling himself.

It was the voice of the desire to win.

Then, this desire for victory turned into Zhang Guan's only consciousness.

"Rush over!"

Zhang Guan and Bolt's bodies were finally no longer side by side, and they finally staggered half of their bodies.

At the last second, Zhang Guan took the lead!

Then, he lowered his head and crossed the line.

"Win!" (To be continued.) )
