The camera lens was always focused on Zhang Guan, from the moment Zhang Guan got up from the rest area, to the moment Zhang Guan walked out of the athletes' tunnel, and Zhang Guan was greeted with the warmest applause and boiling cheers from the audience.
Zhang Guan also enjoyed a lot of cheers and applause when he played in European games, but he has never felt like this today. The cheers at the scene were different. They were not just excitement for Zhang Guan's appearance, but also excitement for Zhang Guan's appearance. It is not just a cheer and encouragement given to the world record holder, but a sense of pride from the heart and a sense of honor that can be empathized with.
At this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He knew that around him was the best audience in the world! No matter what, as long as he stands on the track, they will fully support him, applaud him, shout for him, and cheer for him!
Because they are looking forward to his victory!
Zhang Guan slowly closed his eyes. He silently took in everything around him, and gradually felt his blood boiling, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of tension. This was a feeling that could only be felt in the land of his own country.
Zhang Guan opened his eyes and looked around. He couldn't see everyone's faces clearly, but everyone's expressions seemed to be so clear. At this moment, Zhang Guan knew what the audience around him was waiting for.
"World record! You are the people in the world who are most looking forward to me breaking the world record, but I have never broken the world record before you. You are the best audience, and you should enjoy a world record. Today, I will Bringing the new world record to you is my gift to you and my thanks to you!"
Zhang Guan took a deep breath, and then filled up his physical strength and condition again.
…
There were two more wild card contestants in the 100-meter dash, so nine participating athletes stood on the starting line, making the track look a bit crowded. In addition to Zhang Guan, the other two Chinese athletes were placed on the edge of the track, but they had no complaints. Being able to participate in this level of competition was a rare experience for them.
The referee signaled that the game was ready to begin, and the starter also gave instructions to prepare.
"Perhaps someone will escape after a while!" Zhang Guan thought silently.
However, after the gunshot, no one jumped the gun, and the six foreign players present all started very smoothly, which made Zhang Guan feel a little surprised.
"No one among these guys jumped the gun! In fact, you can try to jump on the first shot. Anyway, you won't be punished for jumping the gun on the first shot."
Zhang Guan's start was quite satisfactory, neither very fast nor very slow. Zhang Guan was a little surprised that no one was rushing, but he immediately ignored it and started to accelerate.
"You are running quite steadily. Are you preparing to run normally? Then you are no match for me. Huh?"
After only running ten meters, Zhang Guan suddenly noticed something very abnormal. The American veteran Capel next to him did not seem to be moving in a straight line, and was somewhat leaning in his direction.
In the 100-meter sprint event, of course, athletes cannot walk in a straight line like models, especially when the speed is fast. Who cares whether the position is off track or not? Just don't run off the track.
However, as an experienced veteran, Capel's skills have matured. Even if he deviates, he will not deviate so much.
"He shouldn't want to hit me!" Zhang Guan immediately became alert.
Then Zhang Guan looked to the other side and realized that another American player, Scott, had also started to move towards him consciously or undoubtedly.
Zhang Guan was placed in the best fourth lane, and the two athletes were placed on both sides of Zhang Guan, which can be regarded as a reflection of the strength of the largest country in track and field.
"It's true, they really want physical contact. I really didn't expect them to use such a 'dirty' method!" Zhang Guan sighed inwardly.
In fact, each track is very wide for athletes, but if you deliberately find some physical contact, it is not impossible. For example, in the 110-meter hurdles event, the movement of the hurdles is relatively large. You can use the movement of the hurdles to deliberately bump into the athletes next to you. The future Liu Feiren encountered this situation.
In the 100-meter event, of course, it is not as big as the hurdles, but you can still use the arms to swing at different rhythms to seek physical contact. During high-speed running, athletes will also perform high-speed arm swings. If a physical injury occurs, Touching can easily disrupt the rhythm, thus affecting the performance of speed.
Athletes' participation in competitions is not as clean as everyone imagines. Friendship first and competition second are just words. Even in top-level competitions, underhanded tactics often occur. When playing football, you occasionally use the "tank kick" trick, when playing basketball, you poke your elbow "accidentally", in volleyball, you return the ball in the opponent's face, and in short track speed skating, you can use skates to cut the opponent's body. Breaking... For Zhang Guan, this may be the first time he has encountered an opponent using dirty tricks, but it is definitely not the last time he has encountered this situation.
"Small! If you want to use this trick on me, you have made the wrong calculation!" Zhang Guan's eyes flashed coldly, and then he started to accelerate suddenly.
At the same time, Capel turned his head and glanced in Scott's direction, and Scott immediately understood that this was the code they had agreed upon.
"Zhang Guan, do you want to win the championship at your home court? This is not easy. At least you have to pass my test first!" Capel thought to himself, and at the same time prepared to actively seek physical contact.
Among the athletes present, Capel can be regarded as the most experienced athlete. He is indeed a more suitable person to perform physical contact than the young Scott.
Capel is also an athlete with a criminal record. He was involved in a doping scandal in 2001. During the U.S. team trials before the Olympics, he failed the physical examination again. The reason was not because of his doping. , but he smoked a lot of marijuana, and he was kicked out of the U.S. national team because of it. Based on Capel's past bad experiences, it's not surprising that he used some dirty tricks during the game.
However, what Capel didn't expect was that Zhang Guan had already begun to accelerate with all his strength.
Originally at 20 meters, Zhang Guan was still on par with Capel, but at 25 meters, Zhang Guan began to slowly overtake him, and at 30 meters, Zhang Guan had already surpassed Capel. Front.
The 100-meter dash is inherently fast-moving. It took Capel almost a second to send a signal to Scott and then start taking action. In one second of the 100-meter dash, the athletes have already run ten meters. It was these ten meters that allowed Zhang Guan to surpass Capel.
"Zhang Guan is ahead? Why is he ahead now? I haven't had time to get close!" Capel's heart is like thousands of horses galloping. If the two sides are parallel, they can also look for physical contact; if they are ahead of the opponent, they can also let go Slow down and deliberately seek physical contact; but if the opponent is ahead, there is no way to make physical contact unless you directly reach out to pull!
Reach out and pull? This is simply not possible. Slight physical contact can be regarded as an inadvertent behavior, and at most it is a warning, but pulling with hands is a matter of sportsmanship and may be banned for life. Not only is an athlete's career on the line, but his reputation as well.
"Why is Zhang Guan so fast? I can't catch up with him at this speed. How can I win if I can't catch up?" Capel looked at Scott. The underlying meaning was that Zhang Guan and the others followed the script and acted according to the script. Failed.
Leonard Scott also noticed this. Compared to Capel, although Scott is not well-known and has never won a height-related championship, the young man is far better than Capel in terms of condition. Much stronger.
"That old guy Capel failed! He's only over 30 meters, and he can't keep up with Zhang Guan's pace. No wonder he was kicked out of the national team. Capel was also a world champion back then, right? It seems like it’s only been two years, I didn’t expect the discussion to reach this level!” Scott thought secretly.
When Zhang Guan surpassed Capel, Scott knew that Capel had failed, and he began to consider whether he should carry out the physical contact with Zhang Guan. But it is a pity that Zhang Guan did not give Scott a chance to think about it. Almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front, ahead of all other athletes, and at this time the athletes ran less than fifty meters!
"Zhang Guan is ahead!"
The spectators inside the stadium watching the game, the spectators outside the stadium staring at the big live broadcast screen, and those waiting in front of the TV all cheered in unison.
At this moment, the entire stadium became a stage for Zhang Guan alone. All eyes were focused on him, and all cameras were pointed at him. He was the only king on this stage.
A brilliant ride!
Director Yu looked at the timer, and the atmosphere in the arena made his hands tremble involuntarily.
"There are still forty meters, there are still thirty meters, there are still twenty meters..." Director Yu silently muttered in his mind how far away he was from the finish line. He had a premonition that Zhang Guan might break the world record. .
In the stands, Director Luo stood up first, and soon after, other officials higher or lower than him also stood up. Due to their image, they did not shout as much as the surrounding audience, but in the In their hearts, they were cheering for Zhang Guan.
GSC President José Hermens has been deeply shocked by this scene. Although he is the largest track and field management company in the world and has experience in organizing hundreds of large-scale track and field competitions, he has never Have you ever felt this suffocating atmosphere!
Zhang Guan crossed the finish line.
Then, the first place result was displayed on the large timing board next to the finish line.
9.72 seconds, another new world record!
