Ramzi crossed the finish line second. He didn't even look at his results and fell to the ground in pain because he knew he lost and lost to Zhang Guan at the last moment of the game.
Immediately afterwards, Qatari player Bashar Najim, who was the third to cross the finish line, looked disappointed. He came in joy, but returned disappointed. Although the audience still gave him warm applause, this applause In Najim's ears, it became a kind of spur, which made Najim feel ashamed.
"In the final sprint just now, Ramzi had obviously exhausted his last bit of strength. He only persisted to the finish line with his willpower! My tactics were wrong today. I should have been following Ramzi. Yes, I am playing at home, and I have the whole audience cheering for me. If we compete in willpower, I will not lose to Ramz. This championship should be mine!" Najim sighed unwillingly. , I feel extremely regretful, but at this time, what is the use of regret
"Let's take a look at my results first!" Ramzi looked up at the scoreboard.
"Is this? An Asian record! Both!" Najim was stunned for a moment.
The scoreboard has shown the athletes' results. Ramzi's final score was 3 minutes, 29 seconds and 10 seconds, and the current Asian record is 3 minutes, 29 seconds and 14 seconds. This means that Ramzi has set a new Asian record!
But this was not enough for Ramz to win, because Zhang Guan successfully ran within 3 minutes and 29 seconds, and his final time was 3 minutes, 28 seconds and 88 seconds. And since Zhang Guan ran first and had a better beating result, Ramzi's Asian record does not actually count.
In the Asian Games, every Asian record is sensational. Athletes can receive countless praises and praises, and can enjoy the satisfaction brought by honors. But Ramzi may not get all this. His Asian record is destined to be overshadowed by Zhang Guan's glory.
Among the audience at the scene, the applause far exceeded the cheers. The applause was congratulations to the victors, while the lack of cheers was because West Asia lost a champion with a traditional strength. But the live broadcast hall of CCTV was filled with the excited shouts of Director Sun.
The commentator's situation was better. After all, he was a professional sports commentator with excellent professionalism and commentary experience. Therefore, after experiencing a brief excitement, he quickly adjusted his emotions; and Director Sun, the guest But he doesn't have that professional quality. Moreover, he is just a guest. If he loses his temper on the show, he doesn't have to worry about losing his job, so he vents his excitement unscrupulously.
…
"Why is this record broken?" Director Ma felt like he had missed the mark.
Before the game, Director Ma was not optimistic about Zhang Guan. He felt that Zhang Guan might not even win a medal. How can a person who has not done any 1,500-meter training before the game just stand on the 1,500-meter field and compete against the world's top 1,500-meter athletes get good results? Even in the first two minutes of the game, Director Ma still thought so.
But in the last lap, when Zhang Guan was following Ramz, Director Ma began to realize that Zhang Guan might actually win. But Director Ma has never thought about the Asian record.
Although Zhang Guan ranked first in the domestic trials before and broke the national record, his time was only 3 minutes, 35 seconds and 85 seconds, which is still far away from the Asian record. Today, Zhang Guan suddenly ran 3 minutes, 35 seconds and 85 seconds. The time of 28.88 minutes is equivalent to improving the personal best time by seven seconds. In more than three months, without experiencing any professional training for middle-distance running, the time was improved by seven seconds. This is once again exceeded. Director Ma’s cognition.
"How could such a thing happen? Others' performance will drop if they don't train. Zhang Guan is good, but if he doesn't train, his performance will improve! Who can I ask to reason with this! This is too shabby!" Director Ma had various thoughts in his heart. complained, and then Director Ma thought of tomorrow's 800-meter final.
"The 1500 meters should be Zhang Guan's weakest event! But he won the championship in this event, and even broke the Asian record. So in the 800 meters event, will Zhang Guan win another championship? If Zhang Guan really wins the 800 meters If he wins the championship, wouldn't it really allow him to win six individual gold medals?"
Director Ma suddenly felt a little guilty and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "I thought he couldn't win six gold medals. It would have been nice if he had added another gold medal in the relay race..."
…
Ramzi was still lying on the ground. Coach Virgil stepped forward with a nervous look on his face. At the same time, medical staff had also gathered around. They were worried about what happened to Ramzi's body.
In the 400-meter race, many runners are taken directly to the hospital after finishing the race. In middle- and long-distance races, this situation is more common. Sometimes runners even feel uncomfortable halfway through the race and are sent to the hospital for examination.
However, Ramzi's heartbeat and breathing were normal. He just experienced a high-intensity game and a heavy psychological pressure, and suddenly relaxed and suffered from dehydration. He rested for a while, and then coach Virgil and the medical staff With help, he stood up.
"I'm sorry, coach, I still lost." Ramzi said.
However, coach Virgil showed a look of satisfaction, and then said: "You have done a good job, you broke the Asian record, you have surpassed yourself."
"But I still lost to Zhang Guan..." Ramzi whispered.
"That's just Zhang Guan having better luck today." Virgil said, hiding the worry in his eyes.
…
Joseph Kamel was sitting in front of the TV. On the TV screen, Zhang Guan and Ramzi were still twenty meters away from the finish line.
Carmel glanced at the timer in the lower right corner of the screen: "With such good results, can it break the Asian record?"
When Carmel's eyes moved from the timer in the lower right corner of the screen to the players, Zhang Guan had already begun to accelerate.
"Zhang Guan can actually accelerate!" At this moment, Carmel knew that the overall situation was decided. With this simple acceleration, Zhang Guan would win the 1500-meter gold medal, while Ramzi could only Finished second.
Immediately afterwards, the timer in the lower right corner showed Zhang Guan's final score, 3 minutes, 28 seconds and 88 seconds, a new world record.
"Calm down, calm down, I have to calm down..." Carmel kept reminding himself, but Zhang Guan's speed increase in the last 20 meters still kept popping up in his mind.
"Why is this happening? His speed has slowed down before, which means he has reached the limit. Why can he speed up again?" Carmel couldn't figure this out.
"Zhang Guan broke the Asian record in the 1,500 meters. His middle-distance running ability is so strong. What should I do in the 800 meters final tomorrow? I might not be able to win! No, I am the 800 meter champion of the World Athletics World Cup. What if If you can't even win an Asian Games, what kind of world championship is it? I have to win!" Carmel decided to look back at this game.
"I must find Zhang Guan's weakness!"
…
After experiencing the 1,500-meter race, Zhang Guan was also exhausted, but the 200-meter rematch was held immediately, and Zhang Guan had to participate.
At this time, Zhang Guan could feel that his muscles were still in the same state of exercise, and it might take a long time to recover, but the 200-meter rematch was about to begin. Zhang Guan obviously didn't have that much time to rest, so he just Able to force his way into the game.
Fortunately, the 200-meter rematch is the same as the 100-meter rematch. The competition is divided into three groups, and they are all 24 to 16. The top five in the three groups and the sixth place with the best performance can all qualify. There is much less competitive pressure to gain promotion.
The level of athletes in the semi-finals is also low. There are usually only two or three strong players in the same group. The others are all "participation" players. Therefore, even if Zhang Guan's body has not recovered, he will bully those "participation" players. Kata players are still very relaxed, so promotion is still not a problem.
After the 200-meter rematch, Zhang Guan's day's competition was also over. After participating in the award ceremony for the last 1,500 meters, he hurried back to the Asian Games Village by car. Because Zhang Guan still had a game to participate in the next morning, he had to seize the time to rest.
…
It was already late at night, but Coach Virgil still had no rest. He sat in front of the TV and watched the video of the 1,500-meter final over and over again.
"Zhang Guan's following rhythm is simply perfect! There is no flaw at all." Coach Virgil couldn't help but think of Zhang Guan's ability to suddenly change his rhythm, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"In terms of running, Zhang Guan seems to be able to adapt to various rhythms. This is simply impeccable. It seems impossible to find a breakthrough from here. In terms of speed, Zhang Guan is obviously what he is best at, especially sprinting. He But the fastest man in the world, I don’t think anyone can beat him in this aspect!”
"Perfect running rhythm and strong sprinting ability, Zhang Guan has possessed them in the past two years... It's impossible. There can't be perfect athletes in the world. Athletes will have weaknesses, so Zhang Guan must also have weaknesses, but there are still some." It's just that I haven't discovered it. But where is Zhang Guan's weakness?" Virgil closed his eyes and thought carefully.
The commentator's voice came from the TV: "There is only one lap left before the end of the race, and Ramz is starting to speed up! Zhang Guan is following closely behind..."
"Wait!" Virgil opened his eyes suddenly and replayed the scene just now.
Coach Virgil's mind was working rapidly. He connected the fragmented clues in his mind and finally found the clue.
"I found it, this is it! I found Zhang Guan's weakness!" Virgil suddenly became excited.
