Chapter 857: Waterloo in the United States! The Olympics are never just about medals

Usain Bolt's "magic walk" has gradually spread in the Olympic Games.

The Olympic stadium is a huge platform, because the audience is huge, and many people who don't watch sports will now watch it because of the Olympics, which is why Bolt can quickly become popular.

The rematch continued, and after Bolt's magical performance, the rest of the shots continued.

Hukai is in the second group, and the strength of this group is too strong, Brian Ziningai, Walter. Dicks, Christopher Williams, Christian Malcolm, Stephen Buckland, plus Lake Kai himself, the whole group ......

All 6 people turned on 20.40s and ran to 20.30+.

You have to know that even in Bolt's group, Crawford was only 20.42s in second place.

You can weigh how strong this is.

Hu Kai doesn't want to run so fast in the rematch, after all, he is the only person in China who can reach the semifinals, although the finals are almost hopeless, but the semifinals, being able to enter, is also a big step in the history of the planters' Olympic Games.

But helplessly, this group is too rolly, and Su Shen estimates that the 3 small Qs will be in this group.

The semi-finals are now two sets, with a total of 16 people.

Even if Su Shen reminded Hu Kai, it can't be too slow, otherwise Xiao Q may not be able to keep it.

And Hukai's strength, in fact, the limit is about 20.20+, and running to 20.30+ is already a considerable burden. But helplessly, this result that can steadily shake off the second place in China is placed in the Olympic Games......

But it is very likely that they will not be able to break out of the rematch.

It's just too hard.

He also needs Su Shen to give him a trick to be able to keep a little Q.

The final result of this group was Brian Zingai 20.23s, Walter Brown. Dicks 20.27s, Christopher Williams 20.28s, Christian Malcolm 20.30s, Stephen Buckland 20.37s, Lake Kay 20.37s, Roman Smirnoff 20.62s, Madik Osovnikar 20.93s.

A group of three players who opened 20.30s, four players who were above 20.30s, and six who were 20.30+, to be honest, felt that he was too hard. This is still what Su Shen said to him, keep it open at 20.40, and only then will you have a chance to guarantee the little Q.

If you don't have a clear goal, the ghost knows if she will do her best with this shot.

It's too rolly.

"Congratulations to my country's sprinter Hu Kai for reaching the men's 200m semifinals in a historic way!"

This passage also began to be played at the scene, cheering for Hu Kai's breakthrough results.

Seeing that Hu Kai reached the 200-meter semi-finals, Yuan Guoqiang was also in a good mood, he didn't have any 200-meter appeals, but now he really earned one when he went in.

"Congratulations to Brother Kai, a historic breakthrough."

When Hu Kai came down, everyone cheered around him, and this atmosphere was really an atmosphere that was completely absent before.

It's so comfortable and so good.

"No, no, there is no Xiao Tian and what I said, I guess this shot will directly empty the mailbox."

"Brother Kai, where is this, your own strength is here, you don't have the strength to run to 20.37s, even if I say it, it's useless." Su Shen also came over to congratulate Hu Kai with a smile, and said, "Brother Kai, your own efforts account for the vast majority." ”

Build self-confidence for everyone.

Step by step, watch this group of golden generations grow, surpass, and break through.

For Su Shen, who has dedicated his life to the field career of planting flowers, it is already enough satisfaction.

After all, this was a scene he could only imagine in his dreams.

Now that it can be realized, he is already very "grateful".

After Hu Kai's shot, Zhang Peimeng, like Zhou Bing, couldn't withstand this rematch. The difficulty of the rematch can be said to be a straight line increase compared to the preliminaries, and Zhang Peimeng blew up a wave of results in the preliminaries, running to 20.54s for the first time, which made his consumption very large.

In one day, if you want to run two shots, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Even if Zhang Pei ran a wave of 20.66s, it didn't help, because his physical condition, apparently in the first shot, had been completely exhausted. Of course, the last shot also made his domestic 200-meter PB surpass Zhou Bing again.

He became the second person in the 200m in China.

kicked Zhou Bing down hard.

After Zhang Peimeng finished the 20.66s run, the group leader Brendan Christian 20.26s, the group second Churand Martina 20.42s, the group third Christoph Baines 20.50s, Poland's Max 20.58s in fourth, Aaron Armstrong 20.58s in fifth, Joseph Orbina Metu in 6th with 20.65s, Zhang Peimeng in 7th with 20.66s, and Sandro Ricardo Rodriguez Viana in 8th.

That's the Olympic level, there's no way around it.

20.66s is already the absolute top 3 results in the past few years in China, but here.

It's just a rematch.

It's just a rematch.

The key is the rematch, which is not yet in the front, very behind, and the penultimate one.

He almost competed with Sandro Ricardo RodrΓ­guez Viana for the tail of the group crane.

But Zhang Peimeng also tried his best, he is currently the one who came in with the A standard, and winning the first round is the limit. What's more, he ran so the first shot, and if he wanted to play to the limit with 2 shots in a row, it was impossible.

The result of 20.66s is normal, and Zhang Peimeng has nothing to be sad about.

Because he knows that his current performance strength is like this.

It was so difficult for Hukai to reach the semi-finals, and he didn't think he could be lucky enough to squeeze in.

It's enough to be able to do that.

The first time this kind of OW individual competition, the main thing is to accumulate experience, and it is good to be able to get in, even if it is as strong as the current "walking maniac" Usain. Usain Bolt, when he first competed in the Olympics, wasn't he also severely repaired?

As long as you can get stimulated and improved and gain experience in this Olympic Games, it is not in vain.

Obviously, Zhang Peimeng did not come in vain, and his trip to the Olympics is definitely an ideal Olympic trip.

In the women's group, Chen Juan was not able to squeeze into the semifinals, and she almost entered, but unfortunately she was rejected in the end.

Chen Juan's 100 meters ran too hard, in fact, it also had some impact on her physical condition, and being able to run like this, 200 meters is already good. Otherwise, with the relay, I don't know how many shots I have to run.

Being able to be like Usain Bolt, running eight guns + relay in the OW competition is not something that ordinary people can do.

All in all, this physical burden is too great, especially if you still need to fight with all your strength in front of you, which increases the physical burden even more.

But now except for Chen Juan, there is no girl who can come up, Wei Yongli still needs this competition in the leveling, so Chen Juan needs a hard top. Fortunately, Chen Juan is still young now, and it shouldn't be a big problem to top it once.

Anyway, the little girl is also a person with family and country feelings, so she will not refuse this kind of opportunity.

Even, take the initiative to ask for battle.

In the evening, the Olympic battle report program was played on the TV set.

In the past ten days, in China, it will definitely be bombed by the Olympic Games.

Inside the TV, it's normal to turn on the Olympics.

"Bolt is probably only 20 seconds away from greatness at most. The 100m world record holder will most likely be the successor to Karl. Lewis and Jesse. After Owens and others, another hero won the men's 100m and 200m at the same Olympics. ”

The Jamaican's main opponents in the final will be defending champion American Crawford and his compatriot Spearman. After losing the 100-meter championship, the United States is bound to fight to regain the 200-meter championship in order to defend their supremacy in the men's sprint. ”

"Winning both the 100m and 200m is not only the most coveted achievement at the Olympics, but also in the sporting world as a whole. While many of the best sprinters have tried in previous races, only a few have succeeded. 24 years ago in Los Angeles, Carl. Lewis is the last athlete to win two titles so far. Other athletes who have won both games include Valery Bortsov (1972), Bobby Morrow (1956), Jesse Owens (1936), Eddie Tolan (1932), Persie Williams (1928), and Ralph Craig (1912) and Archie Hahn (1904). ”

"The United States is the country that has won this honor and if the Jamaican flyer can do it, then he will be the ninth track and field athlete in history to do so. He will also be the first Jamaican player in history to win Grand Slam gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m. ”

The propaganda about Bolt is already going on every night as usual.

Because Usain Bolt is really the biggest superstar of this Olympics.

Not one of them.

The main thing is that sprinting is the central event of the Olympic Games, and he won the championship with super results + super crimping action.

The degree to which it is naturally remembered by the public quickly accumulates to a very high level.

"China's Hu Kai successfully broke through to the semifinals with a score of 20.37s and entered the semifinals. Because of this shot, he also became the first athlete in the history of the flower grower to squeeze into the semifinals in the 200 meters. ”

Spanning this project, I don't know if it was a "magic point" in the North Olympics, whether it is a man or a woman, there are big things to speak out. For example, today's women's 100-meter short span, the biggest favorite to win the championship, Jones of the United States team, actually touched the railing with her foot while she was leading and lost her balance. In sprint racing, such a mistake means a direct drop from first to last.

If Jones's strength is not strong, the penultimate is that she didn't run.

Outside the finish line, Jones fell to his knees on the track in despair, leaning over and burying his head in the crook of his arm. Where she remained quietly, alone and sad for several minutes.

You have to know why she is so bad, it is because he also made his own declaration before the game, declaring that he will definitely win this gold medal. And then...... encountered such a big "Waterloo".

What is the saying?

That's right.

It's better to be a leisurely person.

Although she was miserable, combined with her arrogant words before the game, this defeat made the public's sympathy for her greatly decline.

Nothing to pity.

Let's not say that the poor must have something to hate.

Let's just say that athletes, how much force you pretend, then you have to bear the pressure and danger that will arise when you pretend to be this force.

It's always a double-edged sword, and it's impossible for you to take all the benefits alone.

The misfortune of the track and field team today was not only this, their 400m was also a must-win, and Richards led the women's 400m final from the beginning until the final 80m. Richards was ...... when the finish line was in sight Suddenly, he slowed down sharply and was quickly overtaken by two opponents.

This made the United States track and field team look stupid, leading all the way, but you told me that you were going to win the gold medal in the end, and you suddenly "let it go"?

With doubts, soon the female flyer of the United States Sanya. Richards gave his own answer:

"I always thought I was going to win the gold medal," Richards said after the race, "and I was elated after the corner because I knew I was winning. But the cramps struck me at that moment, and I was powerless. ”

Yes.

Because her foot cramped, you say it's not unlucky.

In the end, the gold medal in hand was handed over.

Can you imagine that as the super hegemon of track and field since the previous Olympic Games, the Ameli Camillian track and field team actually started the track and field competition for several days, and did not win a single gold medal from this big event.

This was absolutely impossible before.

But unfortunately, this year, that's it.

As a major gold medalist in track and field, the United States did not have a single gold medal in this track and field competition, which made the United States track and field team almost rushed by the angry people of the United States.

If you look at the newspapers in the country these days, they all say - the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day...... When will we win a gold medal in athletics?

There are also sharp words, and they spray at the beginningβ€”β€”β€”β€” this is definitely the worst Ameica track and field team I've ever seen!

What made the Mi national team feel that they were waiting hard, and was finally fortunate by the goddess of luck once, was the women's discus.

Yes, this women's discus, which has always been dominated by Eastern European athletes, finally broke the embarrassing 0 gold medal embarrassment in track and field for the United States track and field team. And this gold medal, which no one was optimistic about before the game, also made the arrogant rice people suddenly ecstatic.

even directly hyped up Traffton's "dream of a heroine in the United States".

The Washington Post put it this wayβ€”β€”β€”β€” "Yes, women's discus, don't be surprised. ”

Los Angeles Times β€”β€”β€”β€” In the end, it was this amazing miracle that saved the Rice Track and Field team from a dilemma from which there was no way out. Trafton helped the United States track and field out of the gold medal with a long-awaited gold medal in women's discus, dispelling suffocating doubts.

These titles are enough to show that the rice team may not have thought about this gold medal, after all, this project has not been in 1936, and the rice people have never touched the gold medal again. This time, it was definitely a bonus.

But you also have to think about it, if it weren't for the North Olympics of the United States track and field team this time, the collective "Waterloo", even if Trafton won the gold medal, I am afraid it would not have been possible to have such a high national popularity.

This, can only be said, all rely on "peer foil".

For nothing, Trafton enjoyed a handful of national praise.

The Associated Press even posted that β€”β€”β€”β€” many people previously believed that after entering the track and field competition, the powerful rice country track and field team would catch up with the host in the gold medal. But the opposite is true, after the Olympic Games entered the final week, the United States delegation was struggling.

The Associated Press β€”β€”β€”β€” "The United States is losing its track and field supremacy. ”

Reuters β€”β€”β€”β€” "Winning gold medals in track and field has always been like fishing with a net, but this time in Beijing, they found that their male catches have become whales." ”

The domestic side also began to peel off the cocoon, and carefully sort out the rise of the flying man in Jamaica, and the person interviewed was none other than a member of the "Su Shen Department", Da Liu Yang.

Liu Yang is now one of the first batch of people who began to take the initiative to go down to the grassroots to publicize advanced track and field theories in addition to studying on Ersha Island.

Under the impartation of some knowledge by Su Shen, he now knows more about these histories than most of the old coaches of traditional departments in China. Su Shen told him that if you want to do a good job in a country's sports, it is not enough to rely on experience and technology.

The policy of the whole country is also very important.

He gave an example of Jamaica, which made Liu Yang's eyes light up.

Now he's taking advantage of the Olympics, and everybody is paying attention to athletics and starting to instill these things in the public.

"Why is Jamaica so full of flyers? In fact, whether it is technology and experience, their policies have also played a great role. ”

"Jamaican athletes who have made achievements in sports will have better returns. In 1911, Norman Manley excelled and was selected for the 1912 Olympic Games. Although he failed to set his first world record in the 100m, he was the first Jamaican sports specialist to receive a scholarship to study at Oxford University, after whom Jamaica's Norman Manley International Airport is named. ”

"The Omega Nation is digging into Jamaican sprinters, luring the best into college with generous scholarships, or engaging in 'athletics immigration'. In the 70s of the last century, Jamaica's visionary people, for the sake of their country's sports tradition and the growth of talents, decided that all athletes who stayed in Jamaica for training could receive the same treatment as immigrants to European countries, guaranteed university scholarships and opportunities to exchange with European and American countries, and received unexpected national honors. After 30 years of such a policy of cherishing talents, the world's sprint has slowly entered the current Jamaican era. ”

"My country is now slowly starting to keep up with the construction in this area, and the protection for athletes is getting better and better, and I hope that our track and field team can make new breakthroughs in the future."

Omi's athletics culture is a "culture of athletics immigrants", but Jamaica happens to be the same as the rest of the country, a "native culture of athletics".

Which of these two is good or bad, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.

Anyway, in Su Shen's own view, we still hope that our compatriots and our countrymen will overcome difficulties, forge ahead step by step, and finally break the limit and stand on the podium. It is not simply a matter of "track and field immigration", such a naturalization policy, there will be attempts in the field of sports in some countries in the future, but it is a pity...... It's not useful.

Coupled with such "local training", it can also improve the overall national self-confidence and self-esteem.

This additional added value is definitely not comparable to a simple "naturalization gold medal".

Sport is an evolved form of national warfare in peacetime.

In particular, the Olympic Games, which has not become a competitive > commercial model that has not been completely turned into a commercial alliance, needs to consider the final national gains and losses.

For example, Su Shen's 100-meter breakthrough is definitely not as simple as a medal.

What he brought to the table was definitely something much deeper.

A 9.83s, from now on, how many teenagers, how many Chinese people, dare to pat their chests and say, we can also run.

We are no worse than anyone else.

Even outside of non-West African ancestry, we are the fastest runners.

These things, do you think a planning medal can bring to people?

Seeing this, Su Shen knew that this Olympics had begun to make his five-year layout completely explode.

The next ten years are really worth looking forward to.

It's worth looking forward to.

PS: The first update ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
